Jaz's cheeks turned a bright red when she felt herself lifted by Junior. Her eyes widen when she looked up at Junior. She fiddled her fingers, feeling a little embarrassed but secretly enjoyed the attention she got. Leaning her head against Junior's chest, she did as she was told but continued to fiddle around.

"U-Uhm.. You sure you can carry me around?" Jaz whispered. "It's gonna be a little bit of a walk, Junior. I-I think I can walk! I'm not that tired!" Jaz lied but the situation she was in was rather cute, especially how she reacted to it. However, she didn't make any attempt to jump out of his arms. "I should be carrying you... I'm totally stronger..."

===========

With his daughter in the arms of another man, Kire quickly turned back to Junior and glared directly at him. At this point, the rage on his face was obvious. He walked over to the young man and stood before him, halting any advances Junior would make and ignoring how far the others got. Crossing his arms, he stared at the two, being even a little angry with Jaz. His voice was harsh to the boy and he took one step forward, being just foot or so away from Junior.

"Lemmie get one thing straight with you, young man..." He leaned closer to Junior's face, trying to make his words clear. "Don't you ever come between a father and his daughter unless you want problems. Kindly hand back my daughter."

Jaz looked at her father and tilted her head, confused. 

"Daddy... Junior is super cool, he would never come between us!" Jaz smiled. "Besides, I do wanna take a nap on Junior."

Kire bit his lip. "No Jaz, you'll only burden this man. Now jump on my back and I'll carry you to the area. You can sleep on my back."

"Don't worry daddy! Junior is really strong and he doesn't get tired easily. You worry too much daddy, you can trust Junior, he wouldn't hurt a fly."

Kire remained silent but didn't go against Jaz's wishes. He gritted his teeth. "Fine. Once we arrive, you better give her back." He addressed to Junior. He moved to the side but he remained close to Junior to watch his ever move.
 
Solaris moved up to Gogetta Jr., keeping stride with him.

"About our behavior, I'm sorry. Everyone's been through a lot. Though, a few questions after waking up after my second nap."

Kira meanwhile kept away from Gogetta, Vegetto, and their Jr.'s.
 
Zibarica, Basil and Paprika simply followed HK-47 while listening to Gogeta Junior's comment.
While following behind Vegetto and Gogeta, Panich narrowed her eyes slightly at Gogeta Junior. His comment wasn't helping her ill feelings toward him after snapping and putting the blame on the woken group after they worked to hard to try and help them.
 
"Given that Vaylin is the ...favorite daughter of an entity that exists like Vitiate, and was deliberately killed by his own son, of course she possesses powers beyond our current abilities. She was almost invincible. My bite is not exactly one that wouldn't break into flesh." Mioi remarked, doing her best to ignore what she perceived was some kind of competition behind her. It grated against her ears but she kept her thoughts to herself. "If only there was a flaw in all that power that we could have exploited then."

Must Earthling parental units be this possessive over their offspring? Perhaps in the next ten minutes they will fight for the title of Alpha male.

"A... strange thing occured while we were frozen in that carbonite. Not that we would have gotten any insight on the past 25 years, but... I'm unsure how to word it."
 
Vegetto Jr. smiled down at Jaz, before Kire's warnings.

"Maybe. We can take turns: after your nap, you can carry me around."

He stopped, remaining silent through Kire's tirade, only nodding once at the end.

"Yeah...that won't be a problem."

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

Gogeta Jr. kept a frown, nearly scoffing at Mioi.

"Oh you've only seen the most basic level of her power. Mind trapping Jaz back there?"

He grunted, narrowing his eyes forward.

"I've watched her pull memories from my own head in combat, recreating entire people before my very eyes. Ripping their very souls from the Underworld, and sending them to fight against us. We had no choice but to destroy them."

Vegetto raised an eyebrow.

"How could you know she was pulling souls from the Underworld."

Gogeta Jr. stared forward.

"At first, I thought they were mere illusions she created to trick us. Our first attempt to truly fight the Zakuul Empire was to use Shenron against them. We wished for the revival of everyone killed by their Empire."

His frown deepened.

"But the dragon could not revive souls and bodies destroyed while in a state of death. We didn't even have time to figure out we had actually destroyed real souls until Vaylin arrived on Rishi."

Beerus crossed his arms behind his back, still following after HK's lead.

"I take it she had been tracking you?"

Gogeta Jr. grunted once more.

"Not really, she found us without even a logical path to follow. She sensed the power of the dragon's arise..."

His eyes narrowed again slightly.

"And destroyed Shenron before wiping the entire planet clean."

His eyes then turned towards Solaris, his frown remaining.

"What do you want to know?"
 
"How does that even work in the first place? Are you saying that the Earth of this time is void of population?" Brachi asked.
 
Solaris and Kira looked shocked at what Gogetta Jr. said.

"Holy Stars... That's... That's..." Solaris struggled with the words at anger.

"Something that makes the Sith Empire look like paradise?" Kira said. Solaris looked at her confused.

"I just... I'll beat her unto an inch of her life and smirk when someone else finishes her off..." He shook off his expression, turning back to Gogetta Jr. "Tell me about this Dread Energy I've heard tossed around."
 
"And the Dread Masters you spoke of earlier." Mioi added to Solaris' inquiry. While they were stuck looking for some kind of object, she thought it best to try and get in as much informations as she would need. "You mentioned their presence. Well, lack thereof." To her, much of the terminology thrown around sounded completely foreign to her, and Vaylin's further extended powers definitely unsettled her. It made her rather surprised Vaylin didn't obliterate them within seconds. But given her overall careless demeanor, Mioi chalked it up to some kind of sadism. But she knew they would cross paths with Vaylin and Arcann again sooner or later. What were they going to do the second time? The mere anticipation made her blood run cold.

"It is... all very new concepts to me."
 
As Gogeta spoke of the events that happened, she looked up at Junior and leaned her head against his chest. The Dread Saiyan's voice echoed in her head and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Hey Junior, I kinda need to talk to you about some visions I've been having." Jaz whispered, trying to keep it hidden from her father. "That Dread Saiyan dude has been talking to me and he's been saying a lot of stuff that worries me. He said something about wanting me to stay alive so he can show me that he... succeed. I have no idea what he means by that..." Jaz's hand gripped on to Junior's shirt and she even curled up a little, obviously worried. "But we're kinda powerless to stop him... why does he want me to live anyways?"

=========

Kire eyed the two suspiciously but knew that he would have to distance himself from them. He let out a sigh.

"Well, shit." He said bluntly. "Looks like a lot happened while we were sleeping. This war just turned from bad to worse and we got a crazy girl who's almost God-tier tracking us down. I'unno if it means anything, but I got a lil' vision of this Dread dude. Some things of what he said might prove useful to you guys."
 
Gogeta Jr. shook his head.

"Our plan began with moving Shenron from the Earth's core to a backwater pirate hub known as Rishi. Earth is under heavy surveillance, as Arcann fears the most threatening presence to his Empire can arise from there like us. With the help of the Namekians, we were successful in relocating him without incident. But Vaylin somehow knew they were involved, and destroyed their world shortly after Shenron."

He then scoffed at Solaris' and Mioi's question.

"Why don't you ask my father? They were the only ones worthy of their notice."

Gogeta frowned immediately, but perked up as Gogeta Jr. immediately stopped in place at the mention of the Dread Saiyan. He turned towards Vegetto Jr. who mirrored his shocked expression, both turning their attention to Jaz and Kire.

"Who did you see again?"
