“What is it, <span class="mu-i">General</span> Karn?” Cooler asks you, a hint of something in his voice. But you ignore that, and address the idea you have.
“So, I've been thinking. Now that Freeza is gone, I'm out a training partner for my morning sparring.” you tell him, Cooler's expression unchanging. “Not many people are in that level of power, that I can really cut loose against and use full power on. But you're still stronger than him, aren't you?”
“You wish to trade blows with me? Daily?” Cooler asks, his expression changing. Less of a 'looking down on' look and a more 'Is he serious?' sort of expression as he meets your gaze. “Why?”
“Because I improve my best when I have someone strong to spar with.” you reply. “It's thanks to your brother I've gotten as good with my Berserker God power as I have. And now that he's going to get much, much stronger I must do the same. And you're a prime candidate to sharpen my power on.”
“Hmph. You really think that <span class="mu-i">I</span>, Emperor Cooler would be interested in such a thing?” he asks you, tone dripping derision. “I knew you Saiyans were simple, but to ask such a thing. Don't make me laugh.”
“A 'no' would have been enough.” you reply, a little put out by how disrespectful Cooler was. For a moment you considered making an issue of it, but remembering you're his father's guest instead turn to King Cold. “Thank you for your hospitality, but I believe it's time for me to go.”
“Very well. Thank you for your continued service, General Karn.” King Cold replies, his tone on your title more one of respect. “I expect you to be even stronger than you are now, when my Freeza returns. He'll no doubt wish to test out his new strength.”
“I'm sure he will.” you reply with a more satisfied nod, raising your right hand to your forehead you focus your ki sense. Through your wedding band you find your wife's ki, teleporting directly to her with Instant Transmission. One moment you're in King Cold's home, and the next find yourself back in your own. In the mess hall of all places, seems their training is already over.
“Dad! You're back!” Karn Jr shouts excitedly, you turning to your son. Seeing him holding half of the same flank you'd eaten with King Cold and his family earlier, every one or two of your kids holding one. Karn Jr and Okira hold one, Maz and Kayle another, while everyone else has one to themselves. “Is everything okay?”
“Yeah, it's fine. Just had some more time invaders over at King Cold's place.” you tell him,telling your children about the battle as they eat. Watching their expressions change, eyes widening as you talk about the fight.
