“Trouble? No, not trouble.” you reply, wondering how much to tell him? But, realizing that with it being televised, there's no way they won't realize the stakes. “Not here. Was looking for his help.”
“Help? Really?” he scoffs, crossing his arms just like Raditz had. “Some reason I doubt it.”
“We've got thirty nine hours before the fate of the universe's decided.” you tell him simply. “The Tournament of Power. Eight universes will compete, but only one can survive.”
“Wait, UNIVERSES?” he asks, his confrontational stance wavering at his shock. “Seven universes are going to be erased?”
“Yeah. I was trying to recruit your brother for our team.” you tell him. “You saw his Apex power, when that monster was controlling him. He's strong, and the Seventh Universe could use that power.”
“Team, huh? So, how many fighters will be participating?” he asks, you seeing you've got his interest.
“Ten fighters each. Meaning we've got to clear 70 other fighters at most to get through to win this tournament.” you tell him. “So far we have my mom and dad, me and Chilli, Caulifla, Freeza and Cooler, and Ginyu. Chilli's getting another magic user from his planet, and dad's recruited a guy with a body like Ginyu's too.”
“So why are you here?” he asks you, your brows furrowing.
“What do you mean?” you reply, tilting your head and raising a brow. Wondering what he means by that.
“Your dad. Mom. Chilli. Freeza. Cooler.” he says, raising a finger with each named combatant. Until he gets to the unnamed mage last, raising his tenth finger. “That's already ten.”
“Wait... Shit.” you say, feeling your cheeks blush in embarrassment. “Well now I just feel dumb.”
“As you should. Dumbass.” he replies. “Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to see my niece.”
“Y-Yeah, sure.” you reply, taking to the air. Getting out of his way, wondering what to do now. Only for Tanya to suddenly <span class="mu-i">think</span> out to you, her mind panicked.
“CHAYA! We've got to go! Dreadzone's under attack!!” she mentally shouts to you, a second later appearing by you through a yellow portal. Her amulet on her chest glowing with the symbol of the yellow ring she acquired after your parents slaughtered that upstart Sinestro. And with a nod you reach out telepathically to Vox, laying a hand on your friend's shoulder before teleporting away. Leaving your home, and facing your next challenge far sooner than you'd thought.
