"Karn, what are you talking about?" Meloka asks worriedly. "What happened?”
“It's Freeza. Towa just told me-” you start, when suddenly King Cold, Cooler, and Arctus all appear beside you.
“He's not here.” King Cold says angrily, his face a mask of rage. “This entire thing was a trap, Babidi's long gone.”
“What do you mean long gone?” King Vegeta asks him. “Where is he?”
“I don't KNOW!” King Cold bellows, turning and firing a densely-compacted orb of energy through the wall. It smashes through the reinforced metal walls instead of exploding on contact, punching through several as it keeps going deeper and deeper. “That bastard got away AGAIN! Son of a bitch, I knew that-!”
As he rants you focus, reaching out telepathically to Freeza to see if he's okay.
“Lord Freeza, can you hear me?” you <span class="mu-i">think</span> to him, feeling his mind barely connect. But it's as if something's between you and him, muffling you. But he hears you, replying faintly.
“Karn, hurry.” he replies, you can feel his pain and despair through the mental link. “Here. Babidi's he-”
But then his voice is silenced in your head, and another one addresses you. It takes you a second to place the 'voice', but it sounds like the little bastard had when you met him in person.
“You're far too late, monkey. Your 'Lord' Freeza is now mine.” Babidi tells you, you feeling the color leaving your face. “And with his power under my control, Majin Buu's awakening will not be stopped! There is nothing you can do now, muhahahahahahahaa!”
Then the link ends, leaving you shaken.
“Karn, what happened?” King Vegeta asks, he, Cenoria, Caulifla, Broly, and Meloka are all looking at you worriedly. “Are you okay?”
“I know where Babidi is.” you say, King Cold immediately rushing over. He grabs you by the melted scraps of your armor, lifting and slamming you into the wall with a fury you've never seen from him.
“WHERE!?” King Cold bellows, his expression absolutely murderous. “WHERE IS HE?!”
