“Elder Guru, this is Karn. Can you hear me?” you <span class="mu-i">think</span>, projecting your thoughts and hoping the elder is awake.
“Karn? Ah, yes, it has been some time. But from your tone, I take it there is a problem?” he asks, tone as kind and gentle as ever.
“There's a threat coming for your world. One I thought I'd taken care of, but is still alive.” you reply, quickly filling him in on what you learned from Arctus. Grand Elder Guru listens silently, not letting his thoughts become known until you're finished explaining everything.
“I see. And you said this monster could invade others?” he asks you. “Well then, fortunately, we have had no guests for the last several months, other than King Cold and Lord Cooler.”
“That's a relief.” you answer him, sighing aloud. “We're working on a plan now to protect your world, to stop that monster should he show up. This is our fight, and your people shouldn't be brought into it.”
“I appreciate your concern for my people. Thank you, Karn.” he replies, then after a moment's consideration continues. “I shall await your news.”
And as you both end the link, you speak up.
“Just informed Grand Elder Guru.” you say, everyone turning to you. “It's his world, he should know what's coming.”
“Excellent, that saves me some time.” King Cold answers. “I shall be handling the protection of Namek...Personally.”
“Do you need a hand?” Chilli asks him, surprising you. “I can whip up a few defenses, have the planet ready for-”
“I appreciate your enthusiasm, Chilli, but no. However, Arctus, I will need your help.” the ancient ruler says, turning to his relative. “Gather everything you'll need to establish communication with the planet, I want to have a direct, secure line to the Grand Elder. The moment he senses anyone approaching his world, I want to be informed.”
“I see. Sure, I can gather the materials, all I need is...” Arctus says, looking around to see his factory covered in Chilli's crystals. “These go away, right?”
“Of course, just a moment.” your firstborn son replies, kneeling and placing a palm to the ground. “Crystal Magic: Decrystallization.”
