>>5915630As your former student and daughters, along with your youngest half-demon son all continue talking about their Stands, you try and summon forth your Divine Dragon Force. However, nothing happens, perhaps your Stand used too much power back yesterday to take down Dumplin? Either way you quietly leave them to it, turning and heading after Towa and King Vegeta. Towa immediately goes over to Ace and Future Chaya, King Vegeta approaching Emilia and the two begin whispering. Curious, you walk over, only catching some of the last sentence Vegeta whispers.
“-blems if he'd noticed you? He could have killed you!” he whispers through clenched teeth, clearly angry about her stepping in.
“I am curious as well. Why were you thinking, attacking my son unprovoked like that?” you say, both King Vegeta and Emilia turning towards you slowly. King Vegeta looks taken aback, almost worried, while Emilia. Well, she remains unphased, blank smile on her face.
“I could sense his lethal intent. He planned to attack my king the moment his guard was down.” she replies easily. “He hadn't gotten the lesson that the fight was over, so-”
“So, you decided that you would attack him first, is that it?” you ask her, tone accusatory. But she doesn't shy away from the accusation.
“I protected my king from a violent attacker, one who meant him harm.” the woman replies simply. “I have only executed my duty as was assigned to me, nothing more.”
“Emilia! That's not what I-!” King Vegeta starts, you holding out a hand. To which he actually stops, turning to you curiously.
“So, instead of letting me handle my son, you thought it prudent to attack him instead?” you ask her. “Instead of bringing this to the attention of me or his mother, who has more than enough strength to restrain him, you went straight to lethal force?”
“I... Well...” she replies, no longer seeming as certain as she was moments ago.
“Next time, if there is a next time, perhaps consider other options.” you tell her with a sigh. “I don't think he'll try anything again, but if he does, let me know and I'll handle him. He's my son, and my responsibility.”
“I understand.” she replies, bowing slightly to you. You nod back, then casually pat both of them on the shoulders. However, you suddenly sense an incredible powerlevel rapidly approaching. It suddenly appeared at the edge of your ki sense, somewhere near the end of the star system. But the gigantic power, dozens of times stronger than your base form is hurrying through space directly towards you all. It is headed here, to your home.
“Karn, do you feel that?” Meloka asks, your wife turning to you with a worried look.
“Yeah.” you reply, feeling a small smile come to your face. “He's coming.”
