"Are all systems online and functional?" Brachi asked a nearby Martian.

"All systems nominal, no damages detected. Weapons are at full capacity, shields are at full strength and the Sickbay is fully operational." The Martian replied.

"Good. Keep in mind that we will expect heavy resistance and are definitely going to lose comrades during this conflict. I want to be sure that if the enemy wins, you make their victory taste as bitter as defeat." Xenest said.

"Message understood." The Martian replied, as the fleet went to where the fleet containing Vegetto and his group were holding to meet up with them under cloak.
 
Beerus kept a somewhat surprised expression, peering over Kire's shoulder.

"Well, our debate will have to wait. For obvious reasons-"

The white gloved hand rapidly seized onto the back of Kire's neck, Vegetto's strong glare trained on the man as he suddenly spun him around. The fusion grunted in slamming the man back first into the cold metal ground, his grip tightly constricting around Kire's throat.

"What have you done?!"
 
Brachi could sense the commotion going on, feeling Vegetto's actions as well as Jaz/Red Mist's energy apparently fading, but decided to stay put, her arms crossed, being more concerned about her friends and family.
 
Kira sighed as she opened the back of the ship, with Solaris and Lily starting to walk out.

"How can you be so happy about this, Solaris?" Kira asked. The Half breed chuckled in reply.

"Quite simple, the gravity of the situation hasn't hit me yet. There are plenty more reasons but, I'd rather not waste time." He said. The three then made their way to the bridge.
 
Kire slammed to the floor and seemed dazed. When he hit the ground, it sounded like metal slamming the floor and he did seem a bit heavier than a normal man. He didn't seem to struggle against Vegetto. Regardless, he gave a smile to the man.

"Well..." He managed to say with all the weight on his neck. "If you kill me you'll never know, huh?" Kire gently tapped at Vegetto's hand, almost hinting him to let him go. "And I promise you that you'll have more problems if you kill me. Just calm down and lemmie s'plain everything, okay?" He chuckled.
 
Mioi was preoccupied watching Red Mist's body laid on the neighboring cot for a moment.

"I would spare him if I were you. Killing him outright poses a liability on us." She commented. "Mist already mentioned before that it's unlikely any of us know how to handle her if there is a loss of self-control by her words. Which, this man has proven it's doable by his hand. It would be stupid to kill him." Mioi recalled what Red Mist had previously rambled about back when they were finished fighting Revan. "I assume that was not outright murder since there are two in that body and this man claims to be the father. I do not know anything about how Earthlings raise offspring, however. Marclops do not display aggression in such a manner."

Hopefully he does not choke me for saying that either... she thought sarcastically.
 
Darth Marr turned to face towards the three newcomers once they had arrived on the bridge. His tone was prying, dark and ominous in premonition.

"Is this all the Republic sent us? A couple of frigates and a small team of Jedi?"

================

Vegetto snarled.

"Doable? By outright snapping her neck?!"

Gogeta kept a frown, tugging lightly on the other fusion's shoulder.

"Let's just relax for now...he's obviously hiding something. Let's find out what it is."

Vegetto shrugged off Gogeta's hand, yet released his constricting grip from around Kire's throat. He scoffed in response, quickly turning on his heel.

"Fine, you can deal with him. I'm not wasting anymore time with you people."

Gogeta blinked hard once as he watched Vegetto quickly depart the room, leaving behind the others while Beerus kept a slightly more optimistic tone, his hands still clasped behind his back.

"Now, you were explaining something about the abomination?"
 
"These were the Jedi and reserve troops I could get together in as little time as possible. More are being prepared, though it will take time." Kira replied to Darth Marr. She had only respect in her voice, no signs of hatred or antagonism. Solaris began to pace nervously.

"I swore, I know that smell yet I can't quite place it. What is it, what is it?" He muttered to himself, obviously confused. He then raised his head up.

"Saiyans. For the first time in thousands of years, I smell a Saiyan."
 
Brachi remained silent as she used her viewscreen to spy on the meeting, remaining under cloak as her tail wagged in agitation, shaking her head in Vegetto's reaction.
 
"Man oh man, Emperor Vegetto's temper is high." Kire lifted himself to his feet, dusting himself off. He turned to Red Mist's lifeless body and snapped his fingers. "Red Mist, to my side, now."

As quickly as Kire said his words, a snap was heard coming from Red Mist's neck. It began to snap itself back into place like magic and her body shifted to its feet. In nearly a fraction of a second, Red Mist was by Kire's side, her neck making the final snap in place. Her gaze was a dead emotionless stare and something was obviously different about her. Whatever Kire did to her changed her entirely. Kire crossed his arms before looking at his daughter.

"Address yourself to Lord Beerus." Kire commanded. "As well as your Commander."

"I am Red Mist, soldier of Kire Rebbel." Red Mist bowed respectfully to Beerus, a contrast to her attitude before. "I am at your service until further notice by Commander Ki--"

"I didn't tell you to be at anyone's service but my own! Follow your orders!" Kire yelled as he backhanded Red Mist on her face. It caused the girl to stumble back and quickly return to Kire's side with a bloody nose. Her expression remain unchanged. "Sheesh, I need to patch you up... Anyways, Red Mist isn't an abomination, Lord Beerus, she's my greatest creation! She just needs some patching and a reconfiguration. Easy stuff!"

Kire placed a hand on top of Red Mist's head, giving Beerus a smile. Despite his harsh treatment on Red Mist, he does seem to generally care about his daughter, he just doesn't want Red Mist out of control as she is prone to do. He turned serious before turning to the others.

"Well, you all must know Jaz if you know Red Mist." He started. "Red Mist is my ultimate weapon and designed to take down any target, regardless of how strong or smart it is. She is also designed to protect me at all costs. I am a mere replica of her original father who died a long time ago back on Earth. How I ended here is even beyond me. I am no threat to any of you but I am no fool to the powers you all possess. I know who you most of you are without the need of introductions." He stared at each person as he called their name. "Lord Beerus, Whis, Gogeta, and Vegetto who stormed off. There are some new faces here but I will have my information on you within a matter of minutes."

Kire's serious tone turned cheerful once again and he let out a warm chuckle. "I won't spoil everythin' 'bout myself 'cause what fun will that be? Anywho, I think Red Mist has been giving you all some problems and I miss my lil' girl anyways." Kire clapped his hand once. "At ease."

With his last words said, Red Mist's expression changed and the emerald green eyes brighten, widening and became much more full of life. At long last, Jaz as returned to her original state. The girl looked around in confusion but saw the familiar faces of her friends. Once she turned to see her father standing next to her, it was almost as if time froze for her and tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks. She didn't move but stare blankly at her father, in disbelief. A familiar voice came out from her mouth, one that was full of joy and enthusiasm. She quickly hugged her father and squealed in pure bliss, jumping in place with her father.

"Daddy!" Her voice quivered slightly. "It's you! It's really you daddy! I thought I'd never see you again!"

"The one and only, cupcake!" Kire petted Jaz's head. "I was just traveling around! How's my lil' girl doing?"

"Oh, I made a ton of friends over the time! I just got a ton of stuff to tell you! Well... some of it is bad news but I met a lot good people too! I made friends with a cyclops, a giant purple cat who claims to be God, tons of flying humans that get yellow hair..." Jaz continued to babble on but this was one side of Jaz that the others have yet to see, one that was more human.
