You create your own Super Ki Blade in both hands and raise them overhead as well, charging directly for him. But you have no intention of crossing blades with him. Instead of swinging your blade, at the last moment you end the energy, sword fading as you flip backwards instead. Driving your right shin up between the boy’s legs.
“Aaah-!” he exclaims, an octave or two higher than normal as he drops his sword, body crumpling. Taking advantage of the opening you flip back forwards, reaching out and grabbing onto his face with your left hand, and immediately pitch the Time Patroller directly at the portal. Before he can make another noise, much less recover you send him flying straight into Fu’s dark slash in reality. A moment later his sword is sent down after him, you glancing over and seeing Towa is the one who’d sent it after him. The moment his sword is fully through Fu closes the portal, and Trunks is gone.
“Excellently done.” Mechikabura says to everyone, then turns his focus to your son. “You may keep the rest of that power I gave you, use it as you see fit.”
“Th-Thank you.” your eldest says after a moment, giving the demon god a deep nod.
“Thank you all for your time, I shall now take my leave.” the elderly demon god continues, and tapping his staff on the ground once a more normal-seeming time portal appears behind him. You see what appears ro be a similar sort of laboratory, Mechikabura turning and walking in.
“Later. I have to go study this now, and compile the data it gave me.” Fu says, walking over towards Mechikabura’s time gate. “And hopefully figure out why it was killing him.”
“Wait, your device caused that?” you ask, Fu looking curiously over towards you.
“You’ve seen that before?” he asks, you nodding and clearly getting his attention. “Where?”
“Just today, when Milha tried out one of her curses on me.” you say, gesturing to your chest and the now-stretched out handprint hole in the stretchy fabric. So you power back down, returning it to normal size. “It was something like Vampiric Touch? But as she held it to me, I started suffering the same thing.”
“Wait. Prolonged contact with necromantic energy is what caused that?” he asks, slapping himself on the forehead. “Of COURSE it caused that, why couldn’t I see it? Thanks for the tip, now I know how to improve it for the next one! Later!”
Fu then steps through Mechikabura’s portal, the demon god shutting it seconds after. Leaving you, Chilli, Towa, Future Chaya and Ace all standing around.
