>>5573494“Arctus, I need your help.” you <span class="mu-i">think</span> to Freeza's cousin as Queen Komand'r charges. “I need my scouter's footage from a few minutes ago, to the end of this fight backed up.”
“Sure, I can handle that once you get me your scouter.” he replies, but then adds with a note of concern. “Why, what's going on?”
“I'll fill you in when it's over, but Komand'r's here.” you tell him as the Tamaranean Queen closes the distance, slamming her crimson energy-clad right fist into and THROUGH Goro's chest. Stopping the larger man's charge in place.
“Wha-? Im....possi...ble...” Goro says, dropping to his knees as she draws her fist out of him. His blood sprays all over the queen, Komand'r seemingly enjoying it a bit too much.
“Good riddance.” you hear Meloka mutter, Goro's body going limp.
“Got it.” you mutter, turning to Meloka as you raise your right hand to your forehead and focus on . “Stay here a second.”
“Huh?” your wife asks, but you're already gone. Teleporting directly to Arctus's side, taking off your scouter and handing it to him.
“Here. I need this video backed up, but not available to anyone else.” you tell him, Arctus immediately drawing a cord from his desk and flipping a panel on the scouter you didn't know moved, plugging it into his massive central console on the Lucrehulk. “It's got blackmail on Komand'r, I got her with the same crime she's accusing her sister of.”
“And you're gonna use that to force her to back off? Nice thinking.” he replies, fingers flying over his keyboard. “I think you've gotten a lot more devious than you used to be.”
“What can I say? Been dealing with more and more problems I can't simply punch away.” you reply, Arctus then unplugging the scouter and handing it to you. “Done already?”
“I pulled all I need, the data's being transferred here and scrubbed from the rest of the PTO's network. Same thing I'd done with that OTHER footage you wanted erased.”
And as he says this, you can almost hear that damned clown's laughter in the back of your mind. But only for a moment, as you put your scouter back on.
“Thanks for this, I owe you.” you reply, teleporting back to New Salda. Just in time to see your wife and Komand'r standing toe-to-toe, about to come to blows. Well, you should have probably seen this coming.
