>>5548477For a split second you consider using your Stand, to enforce this pact and keep him true to his word. But you instead decide to trust him, to trust in Freeza and take him at his word.
“I hope you don't.” you tell him, maintaining eye contact. You can still feel the wall there between you, but it feels far less vast than it was when you'd both flown down here. And then, right at that moment, someone else speaks up.
“Umm, Lord Freeza? General Karn? Are you both okay?” you hear a woman's voice call out, the two of you turning your heads. Through the broken walls, peering in curiously is one of the two guards from above, Cele. “I heard the fighting stop, so I came down to make sure you both were okay.”
You turn to Freeza, who releases you and takes a deep breath in, then sighs out, turning to face her.
“Yes, we are both still standing.” he tells her, taking a couple steps towards her. “Tell King Vegeta I will be there shortly.”
“Y-Yes sir!” she shouts, saluting before turning and flying out back towards the surface. As she departs Freeza turns back to you, his confident appearance fading as he looks to you with something new behind his eyes.
“Thank you, Karn. For everything.” he says, tone a bit melancholy. “I've never deserved you. But I shall do my best to become a man who deserves having you supporting me.”
Before you can reply he turns from you, flying back out from the way Cele'd gone. Reaching out as he flies, the offered energy sword's handle flying over to his hand as he leaves. But as he does, you call out to him.
“You'd better apologize to Broly.” you call after him as you can clearly sense his ki retreating. “You wronged him even more than you did me.”
He doesn't call back, you waiting a moment before readying yourself to make your own way out. Not by flying out, but instead using your Instant Transmission. So, as you reach out with your ki sense, you feel the locations of those on your world.
Expanding your awareness, first you sense your wife and youngest four are with Queen Cenoria and Prince Vegeta V. Broly is with Princess Koriand'r outside of the city with Leyas and Sarada, while Caulifla is back in the Jiralhanae city. No doubt helping them out with her powers. However, you also sense Chaya and Raditz are with Turles, Ticho, and the twins on the other side of the continent, surrounded by many hundreds of tiny ki signatures. Raven is back on her island, however she's surrounded by several powers similar to her own.
