“<span class="mu-s">MY CHAMPION</span>.” New Salda's 'voice' booms in your mind. “<span class="mu-s">I can feel your urgency</span>.”
“There's a missing child. I'm going to find her.” you reply, and as your power and senses are enhanced by taking on your Champion form, you immediately focus entirely on your ki sense. And you can sense EVERYONE. Every last living being on your world, from the mightiest warriors to the smallest blade of grass. From the Rak'kari and Hydae under the sea to the birds in the trees, you can feel every last living being. But as you search through them all, feeling everyone's presence in your mind. But one's missing. “What?”
“What do you mean, what?” Turles asks, you opening your eyes and meeting his gaze.
“She's not on the planet.” you tell him, seeing Turles' eyes widen in shock. “I can feel EVERY ki signature on the planet, and she's not one of them. Did she tell you she was leaving?”
“No. I was training, then when I left the chamber, she was gone!” he shouts, you feeling the fear and worry in his voice. “And I can't reach her telepathically either! My little Ticho, she... She...”
You reach over, placing your hand on his shoulder. Meeting his gaze, expression resolute.
“We'll find her.” you tell him, nodding to your friend. “No matter what it takes, we'll find her, Turles.”
“How? If she's off-world, who knows where she ended up?” he exclaims, clearly terrified. “If that bitch snuck onto this world and kidnapped my daughter, I-! I'll-!”
“We'll find her.” you tell him, expanding your senses even further beyond the planet. Widening out your ki sense as far as you can detect, going further and further beyond your planet until, suddenly, you find it! You find her, but, she's not alone. Sure enough, there are a half-dozen powerlevels with her. All seven of them rapidly leaving your home behind. “Got her! Let's go!”
