Reaching out with your mind you connect to both Freeza and Vegeta, asking them both the same question. “Meloka senses something dangerous approaching, do either of you have any guests coming?”
“What? No, I haven't... I can't sense anything.” Freeza replies immediately, you sensing his sudden concern while Vegeta's mind pulls back for a few seconds. You feel him powering up, no doubt preparing to head over. “What does she sense?”
“No one more powerful than a few million should be approaching today.” King Vegeta then replies, no doubt having asked some of his people. “Whatever she senses, it can't be friendly. Need backup?”
“I'll ask.” you reply, returning your focus to your wife as she suddenly shoves you back, divine aura blazing as she unleashes a blast straight up into the air. However, as she does, you see something dark descending straight towards the attack.

She looks from you back to the approaching darkness, eyes suddenly widening in realization as the dark mass strikes the ground before you both, turning into a puddle of infinite blackness. Then, from that dark void, rises a familiar, towering figure.

THE SHAPESHIFTING MASTER OF DARKNESS, AKU!” your longtime ally says, stretching his hands to the sky as he laughs. However, as he lowers his hands and looks down at you both, his eyes suddenly go wide, recoiling away from your wife. “SO, IT IS TRUE! YOU HAVE ASCENEDED BEYOND THE MORTAL PALE! I MUST SAY THAT I AM IMPRESSED!”
“T-Thank you?” she replies uncertainly, looking quite terrified of Aku yet still ready to throw down at a moment's notice. Seems than, from a divine perspective, Aku is quite a terrifying presence. You understand to an extent, having been given the perspective before to understand the scale of his power once before. But that leaves you with only one question:
