Even with dropping to your base form, you still can barely feel any single one. Where more than a few are gathered you can sense them easier, but if you were to guess most of these beings' powerlevels wouldn't even measure in the double digits. But you try your best, knowing that if it were your own children trapped and helpless you'd want someone to save them as well. Which, as you lift a large slab of some sort of stone off of a small trapped group, you hear a child's scream of panic.
“Shhh, shhh, it's okay. You're safe now, it's over.” you say gently to the child, seeing a blood-soaked girl clutching a small stuffed pillow shaped like a creature, tears staining her face. You then shove the stone slab away, reaching down to the child with one hand without moving any closer. “Come on, let's get you out of there.”
She looks from your hand up to your face, but after a second reaches out tenatively with her free hand. Instead of grabbing her and possibly breaking such a weak being, you instead gently pull her to you with telekinesis. Holding to her like she's one of your own children, she starts sobbing uncontrollably, you holding out your other hand for the next person under the rubble. Another child, this one no older than Karn Jr stumbles out, covered in dust and blood. For a second you feel panic start bubbling up, but then realize it isn't this kid's either. Which is relief for only a second, your eyes widening in understanding. You take the second kid out as well, passing them to the redheaded woman with wings before turning back.
“Hey, I'm not a babysitter!” she tries to protest, but you give her a glare. Whatever she sees on your face silences her, you turning back to the rubble. You reach down, grabbing the next slab and start lifting, only for a man's voice to cry out in pain.
“GYAAAAAH!!” the man below cries, you stopping immediately. “Stop!”
“Dammit!” you seethe, lowering the slab back before trying to talk to the one under it. “Are you okay?”
“R-Rebar. Through my g-guts.” comes a man's pained voice. “I'm pinned to this slab. Please, forget me and get my kids out of here. I don't have long, and don't want them to see me die.”
Well? How do you react?
>Honor his wishes and take the kids away to the others, >Telepathically call Caulifla to come to your side, to help save someone else's father>Flip the slab and channel your ki into the man, try and give him enough energy that he might survive if he gets medical treatment quickly>Other(write in)
