Then, with a thought pitch him towards the barrier, the warrior shouting in surprise as he's launched. The others shout in shock seeing the warrior they were once a part of sent flying without being touched, striking the barrier before he can stop his flight. In a flash he and the other Namekians are gone, leaving you and Caulifla alone for a moment.
“Thanks Dad. I wasn't sure which of us was going to run out of stamina first.” your daughter tells you. “But with that many of them backing him up, I think I'd have run out of gas first.”
“Not a problem kiddo. I”m glad to help.” you tell her, reaching over. Again with that helmet on her head you can't ruffle her hair, so instead place your hand on her left shoulder. She smiles at you, but then at the same time you both smell something wrong. Fire. “What the-?”
You both turn towards Chilli's ki signature, where the smell of smoke is coming from. Only to see the forest glowing orange in the distance. The smell of burning grows stronger, you and your daughter sharing a look.
“I'll stop the fire from spreading too far.” Caulifla tells you, you nodding as she takes to the air. She flies over towards the battlefield, while you raise your right hand to your forehead. Focusing on trying to find your son's ki, feeling it after a few moments. He's in his Primal form, hovering in the air well above the metal man. So with a moment's focus teleport to him, appearing behind him.
“Dad, move!” Chilli shouts to you, dashing to his left as what looks almost like a beam of magma fires up at you. Immediately you dash right, dodging the stream of molten rock and fire. “This guy's tough! Nothing I've got can damage him!”
“You don't have to beat him, just send him out-of-bounds.” you reply as Magetta continues to fire blast after blast of heat up towards you both. But now that you can see them coming they're easy to dodge, weaving through them.
“I tried. But he's too tough.” your son replies. “When he started that spinning move, he easily smashed through my crystals. And for whatever reason, my Chaos magic doesn't work here inside this barrier.”
“What?” you reply, glancing from your son up to the man standing beside Zen-Oh. And even though you can barely make his figure out, you get the unshakable feeling he's smirking down at you both. Immediately your Berserker Soul blazes, wanting you to dash up and attack him. But you restrain it, turning your focus back to the metal man below instead. “Tch. Alright, so we just have to get him out of here. Your sister's keeping the fire from spreading, so we don't burn the forest down and catch anyone else in the inferno.”
