“As much as I want to save him, I must agree with your father. If that is what's necessary, then we must act.” you say, the young prince looking up at you in disbelief. “However, we have another option: there is a chance we can still save Raditz.”
“What do you mean?” King Vegeta asks, you seeing a hint of hope that he won't have to order a fellow Saiyan's death. “Did Towa tell you of a way to extract that parasite?”
“Yes, there is a way. However, it's kind of convoluted.” you tell him, explaining how he was conquered in another timeline, how he transformed into a Golden Oozaru only to have his tail severed, body reverting back to normal. And Baby, having grown inside the far more massive body of the Golden Oozaru, was no longer able to fit inside his stronger body, forcing him to flee the body or be crushed. “It is a rather difficult plan, but it is possible.”
“I see. But your plan has two flaws.” King Vegeta tells you, raising a finger with each one he counts off. “First, making Raditz a Golden Oozaru would make him a far greater threat, with that power he may destroy the planet itself while rampaging out of control. And second, do you even know how to make a Power Ball to transform him? The central pillar upon which this plan functions?”
“...No, I don't.” you reply with a sigh, feeling a bit chastised. To which he nods, expression resolute. Silence hangs in the air between you, until he raises his hand once more.
“Very well. You have half a day tomorrow to master it.” he says, you raising a brow at this. “I want this monster taken down by this time tomorrow, before it can spread its influence any further. No matter what it takes, do I make myself clear?”
“Crystal.” you respond with a Saiyan salute. “I won't fail.”
“Good. I leave the rest to you.” he says, returning the salute. “Now, get some rest. You've got a long day tomorrow.”
“Right.” you reply, raising your right hand to your forehead. And with a thought focus on your wife's ki, teleporting back home.
“Hey hun, glad you're-what's wrong?” she asks you, seeing the look on your face. “What is it?”
“We're gonna have a long day tomorrow.” you tell her, explaining your talk as you undress to get into bed. She and Towa both look concerned as you tell them your orders, how Baby dies tomorrow.
