Both Brachi and Xenest's eyes went wide at this.

"YOU?!" They both exclaimed simultaneously.

"Are you part of the undead or what?!" Brachi then asked.
 
Panich and Bage were astonished at the sight. It was unbelievable. Both Saiyans stared, speechless. 
The only thing that could be felt was a lump of anger in Panich's throat.
 
....? Mioi didn't seem to make any sort of reaction. Did the others recognize the man?

"..." All the Marclops could do was gaze at Valkorian in silence. Being bound with such heavy cuffs, she knew better than to speak out of turn to high ranked royalty who was their captor.
Emperor... is it the one who has been behind all of this chaos all along?... if only my memory wasn’t impaired from that explosion...
 
Kira looked at him and unrestrained rage showed itself, her trying to free herself to attack. Solaris took a look around.

"Oh... I see that a number of people here have something against the Emperor. Fantastic."
 
"Oh man.. he reminds me of someone else who has fire hair..." Jaz trembled slightly. Obviously, she thought about the evil version of Jr. she met a long time ago. "And usually... people with fire for hair are bad news." Jaz quivered behind her father.

"Now now, easy there, Jaz." Kire comforted. "Just stick by me and I'll keep ya' safe. Just... gimmie a second to think up something." He whispered.

Jaz only stared at the fire-headed emperor and seemed to keep her distance from the man. She didn't want a repeat of what happened, assuming he'd do the same thing. She seemed both angry and scared but while bounded, there was nothing she can do now. She only whispered to her father.

"He kinda looks like evil Jr... with the fire hair and stuff."
 
The Dread Saiyan broke out into a small smirk at Brachi's question.

"That is a word for it, yes. Not as you imagine, I assume, but you're not far off from the truth."

His attention then turned slightly towards Jaz, crossing his arms behind his back.

"Your friend here represents the opposing viewpoint to yours, as I've also foreseen..."

He then slowly lifted both arms, clasping his hands tightly together.

"Two misguided points combined...creates truth."

Vegetto's eyes remained wide.

"Your energy signature...it's....it's completely different. How?"

The Dread Saiyan kept his smirk, unclasping his hands and allowing his arms to fall back to his sides.

"Appearances can be deceiving...'father'."

He broke out into an ominous dark chuckle.

"Forgive me, I gave into the temptation of seizing the dramatic moment. As simply as I can put this, you're right: I'm not the same Dread Saiyan you harbor such ill feelings towards."

The flame continued to burn brightly atop the Saiyan's head, the Dread Saiyan beginning to pace in front of the others.

"His memories...his psyche itself, however, are now apart of me. It was fascinating, delving into the mind of a being without emotional connection. To look in and see him wield pride, fear, and condescension onto others, yet not be able to feel it for himself."

The Dread Saiyan soon stopped at the end of the line, his arms gesturing to the throne room.

"His rational mind could not avoid such a distraction, such power radiating from this place. All I had to do was send an explosion of my energy out into the universe and like a moth to a flame, he came. Unknown to him, he discovered my presence too late...and his body was now my own."
 
Jaz listened to the man speak and it all started to come back to her. When he addressed Vegetto as 'father' she only knew of one other person who would call him that. She wasn't sure what was going on but this man might have a connection with Jr. She finally spoke out from the group, her tone seemingly worried. 

"Do you know where Jr. is?" She said bravely, stepping out of the group and towards the man. Kire seemed powerless to stop her. He listened, nonetheless. "You look so familiar to me and I can only assume as to who you are. Please... if you know where Jr. is, take me to him. I'll do anything to meet him again."
 
"This is quite confusing..." Mioi said, looking down at her cuffed hands to think, before her eye widened a bit, believing herself to have some clue into what Emperor Valkorian was saying.

Vitiate?.... Of course she could have been wrong, but from what the man said, it seemed plausible to think it was the work of Vitiate.

Whoever it is, I do not feel comfortable here. I want to leave. Escape. Whatever gets us away. Mioi tugged her wrists apart uselessly, giving up quickly after that.
 
"Clever trick. A sociopath's mind would be easy to dominate. No emotions to wrestle with." Solaris muttered. Kira just looked at the Dread Saiyan.

"Controlling bodies just seems to be your habit. Except now you've gone and gotten a warrior far stronger then most of the galaxy." She said with disgust.
