"If you say so." she says, clearly uncertain but not willing to argue with you over it as the kids all start rushing outside. "You hand me her, so you can watch over them.”
“Of course.” you say, handing Okira to her then raising your right hand to your forehead, teleporting in front of Tatsu and Tomi as they're the furthest out. And as you appear, they crash directly into you suddenly.
“Oooof!” they both exclaim, losing their grip on each other's hand and falling down separated. “D-Dad?”
“Now hold on, not so fast.” you say, the others all rushing up to you and stopping as well. “You'll all go at the same time on my signal, okay?”
“Right!” the oldest twins say simultaneously.
“I'm ready!” Caulifla shouts, as excited as ever.
“Rea-ay!” Maz and Kayle shout, trying to sound in-sync as the older twins but not quite matching each other.
“Let's do this.” Chaya says, glancing aside to Broly. “Bigger shark wins?”
“Alright.” he replies, the two taking crouching stances ready to explode off the ground.
“Three, two, one.” you say, raising your arm slowly as you count down. Then you throw your arm down, and shout. “GO!”
“HAAA!” they all shout, everyone dashing straight off the beach and flying out into the ocean. Maz and Kayle drop down into the water first, followed closely by Caulifla. No doubt watching over her younger siblings, just in case. Broly and Chaya then both blitz down almost simultaneously, no doubt competing to get a certain prey first. But Tatsu and Tomi, once again linked together keep flying out, long after the others have already gone into the water.
“Don't stray out too far.” you tell the two of them, telepathically linking to their minds. “If you go too far, you could run into a-”
And then your head explodes in searing agony, you clutching your head and dropping to a knee as the unmistakable blast of a Mindslayer's telekinetic blast hits you through your link to the twins.
“Karn?!” Meloka shouts in surprise as you bring your right hand to your forehead against the pain ringing throughout your mind. “What happened?”
“I told them!” you snarl through clenched teeth, focusing on Tomitsu's massive conjoined ki. But the agony of the mental attack keeps you from focusing enough to teleport. You'll have to do this the old-fashioned way. “They went too far and ran into a damn Mindslayer! Dammit!”
Then without another word you blast off the beach as well, surging towards the older twins' ki. Looks like Mindslayer meat is back on the menu!
