Stasis....? Mioi had no energy for her telepathy. She weakly looked around towards the direction she fell from. How long have our bodies been unreachable?
 
Mom!" Paprika hurried to her mother with a worried look.

"What... Are you kids doing here...?" Panich gasped in exhaustion. She looked up at the blurry image of her daughter.

"We're getting you guys out of here." Basil replied, heading over to Solaris and Kira.
 
((Hey ZF, I'm going to restrict your usage of secondary characters for the time being. I forgot to mention it in the starter post, but only Panich's characters are allowed to be used because Panich discussed details about incorporating them into the rescue party. For reasons that will be made clear once the plot advances, I'd like to restrict all secondary character usage apart from the people who came to me to discuss being apart of the rescue group. I'll let you know when you're allowed to use them again!))

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

Vegetto Jr. broke out into a small smile, but lightly shrugged off her arms and kept her body steady on his own forearms.

"I could say the same about you, actually. But you need to save your strength; we're not out of the woods yet."

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

Gogeta Jr. narrowed his eyes, glancing back over his shoulder.

"This may be a bit difficult, but we don't have much time here."

Gogeta panted lightly, sitting up with a half smile.

"Thanks guys, you saved us."

Gogeta Jr. kept a stern expression.

"Right now, we've only spared you from dying in carbonite..."

His narrowed eyes turned towards Basil, waiting for the Saiyan to help Kira up before continuing.

"The Empire and the Republic have all but fallen to the man that imprisoned you here. This is our last hope in defeating him, and you must realize that if we're going to make it out of here alive."
 
"You don't knowbhow happy I am to see that you guys are safe." Bage smiled.

"Yeah, yeah. Give me the sob story after we get out of here." Zibarica smirked. "Paprika go to the others over there, quickly. I got your parents."

Paprika looked over at Mioi, Kire, Brachi and Xenest.

"Vegetto Jr. Could you help me over here?" Paprika called.

"Let's go people! Time is of the essence!" Zibarica said trying to keep his voice low.

---------------------

Basil knelt down to Kira and Solaris, "you two alright?"
 
Jaz, to no surprise, tried to force herself to stay up right despite being terribly weak. She took a step back from Junior and took a sharp breath. She didn't want any help from the looks of it but it was obvious that she needed it for the most part. Her determination to help her father and the others was extraordinary. Wobbling uneasily to her father's side, she knelt down to try and pull him to his feet.

"You okay daddy?" She smiled. "You landed face first on the floor. Just hang on, Junior and the others are here to help us."

Kire's eyes shifted to Jaz at the mention of a familiar and hated name. He knew he couldn't do anything about the man now in his current state but his mouth was still working above all else. However, he didn't say anything just yet.

"That's great. I think I got this from here, cupcake. Why don't you save your strength? I'm sure you'll need it to help your Mioi-Friend." Kire said with a hint of pain.

"I got all the strength I need!" Jaz puffed out her chest. "I don't need rest!" Her body quaked as she said this. Kire laughed at her act but he played along nonetheless.

"You're just like Evelyn..." Kire shook his head and rolled his eyes. "Alright, go help out Mioi, I got it from here."

Jaz nodded to her father and pushed herself to rush to Mioi's side. She paused for a moment to gather her strength before she did anything. The more she pushed herself, the more tired she became, however, she tried to hide it as best she could. The way she cared for her friends was enough for her to overcome the pain...somewhat.

"Mioi, are you okay?" Jaz said in a low voice.
 
Brachi and Xenest got up, popping their joints to get some reflex back into them, wondering where the others were.
 
"Get Kira." Solaris said, forcing himself to his feet. "I, need help, actually..."

Master, any orders? Solaris tried calling out to the Dread Saiyan.

Kira looked at Basil, weakly lifting an arm.
 
Mioi took in a few deep breaths before she could answer Jaz. "Body.....hurts..." came Mioi's reply, squinting her eye to focus her vision. Her telepathy had her voice fade in and out ssince she had so little strength to communicate. 

Mioi struggled to push her body off the floor, her arms incredibly shaky. The hit to the floor with her hirns away multiplied her pain. The alien lifted one hand to hold one side of her head, wincing from the movements alone.
 
"I'll be there shortly..." Oriko breathed heavily as he struggled to pick himself up.

"I really got myself stuck in a situation I can't escape... he thought to himself as he continued his attempt to get up.
 
Vegetto Jr. blinked hard in the exchange between Jaz and Kire, watching on silently for a moment before Jaz departed towards Mioi. His head turned slightly at Papirka's call, but he waved his shook his right hand in a dismisal wave towards her.

"Uh...I'm a little busy over here...hang on..."

He kept a perplexed stare, kneeling closer towards Kire.

"Did Jaz just call you 'daddy'?"

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

Vegetto and Gogeta both pushed themselves up to their feet, standing tall yet visibly struggling to move forward.

Gogeta Jr. stepped back, eyeing each warrior.

"Alright, listen to my instructions very carefully. We're going to place some metal cuffs around your wrists: these are merely for show. We have access to cloaking technology that can change our appearances into the guards of this facility, and we're going to walk you out through the front door where we have a ship waiting."

He nodded over to Zibarica.

"Zi, go ahead and start cuffing them. We're already forty seconds behind schedule."
