Which blink again as it seemingly sees you take notice of it, everyone else turning to it as well. The 'mountain' seemingly begins to sweat, you flying down towards it, crossing your arms and glaring down on it. “Hey, you! Why are you hiding as a mountain?”
“Wh-What? I-I AM a mountain.” it says back, you raising a brow at this. “I m-mean, just look at me.”
“Mountains don't talk.” your wife says, raising her right hand and pointing it at the mountain, only for Maza to suddenly dash forward, grabbing her arm and pointing it straight up. His sudden reaction, the speed at which he moves and the TERRIFIED expression on his face freeze all of you in place.
“DON'T!” he seethes through clenched teeth, panic in his eyes. “Do NOT destroy ANYTHING! Not here.”
“Where IS here?” Kayle asks him, Maza turning to his siblings. Following his gaze, you see that both Koruza and Milha are both equally terrified.
“Penguin Village.” Maza says, voice trembling slightly. You hearing the actual, GENUINE fear in his voice. “We should leave, right now. Before SHE notices.”
“Hey, hi there!” Karn Jr, who wasn't paying attention shouts, waving down towards the ground. Where, you see a dust cloud leaving the town, heading directly towards you all.
“Shit, she's coming!” Maza says, releasing your wife. And before you can say anything else, he raises his right hand to his forehead, actually LEAVING this planet with Instant Transmission. What in the hell has him terrified so? Turning from him back towards the cloud, you see it stop below you. And once the cloud dissipates, it reveals a tiny figure standing there. No taller than your youngest, the figure tilts its head.
“Ho-yo?” it says, somehow not raising its voice yet also completely distinct. It then points up at you all, waving. “HO-YO!”
“Milha, who is that?” you ask, turning to your half-demon daughter. Who has paled as well, you seeing her grip tighten on her girlfriend in her arms. Who seems just as confused as the rest of you.
“Not who. WHAT.” Koruza says, Dark Rider appearing behind him. “That's a machine, one the man named Norimaki somehow made strong enough to battle gods. We'd better play nice. While it has the power to break this planet in half with a single swing, it has the mind of a child. If we play this right, we should-”
But Karn Jr, who clearly isn't paying attention to the worry in the adults, is already flying down towards her.
