“We'll be waiting!” Plastic Man says, giving you two thumbs up as you raise your right hand to your forehead, reaching out to your tallest daughter.
“Caulifla, are you busy?” you ask, <span class="mu-i">thinking</span> to your third-born daughter. “We need to talk.”
“Of course. What is it Dad?” she asks, you focusing on her ki through the link. Meloka grabs onto you, and in a blink you leave Ubo's adoptive home behind. Reappearing on New Salda, down in the depths of the M'lurnian Ruins. In somewhere you've not seen before, the light of your daughter's golden hair and aura illuminating the strange room. The walls seem almost melted, distorted as she and her ever-present friend Lottus are looking around. “Dad? Mom? Must be serious then, if you're coming to talk in person.”
And so you quickly fill her in on the tournament as well, the rules and where it shall take place in. Telling her of the team you've already gathered, before holding your hand out to her.
“I'd like you to join us as well, kiddo. Between your strength and healing, you'll be an invaluable member of our team to ensure we all survive this.”
“Universes are erased if they lose. Damn.” she says, shaking her head. “Of course, I'll be there. If they're allowing gods to fight though, shouldn't you bring Broly along as well? Having more wielders of the Berserker Soul could be an advantage.”
“Maybe. I have to talk with him first. We have eight fighters already, now, including you. We have two open spots that need to be filled.”
“I'll stay here. While I would love to fight for the universe, to be one of it's protectors, I simply lack the power.” Lottus says, you all looking to him. He then suddenly Ascends, golden aura blazing, sparks crackling around his aura as his power increases a hundredfold. “But with this level of power, I'm simply not strong enough to be an asset. Instead I'll stay back, and taking care of everyone as you would while you're gone. That way you don't have to worry about all of us, and can focus on the tournament.”
