Vegetto kept his frown.

"Even if she were here, it'd only get her more focused on tracking us down."

He then blinked at the sudden charge from Jaz, watching on in shock with the others sharing the confusion.

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

Vaylin's head shot to her side from the force of Jaz's blow, her aura blasting backwards from the small explosion of air from the connection.

However, the woman slowly pushed back on Jaz's fist using only her neck muscles, her face returning back to its normal position. Her expression had completely morphed from the confident smirk into one of complete fanatical hysteria, her eyes wide with a sinister and open grin.

"Haha! That's it?!"

The woman's hand quickly shot out into Jaz's stomach, as quickly as Jaz had closed the gap to her. Another black tear in the air opened around where her fist flew, the star atmosphere visible a few inches away from Jaz's chest.

"I used to be afraid of you...afraid that my Junior was so fixated on you because of your power. I spent weeks at a time in that treasury, watching your frozen corpse and wanting to blast you right there. But I never could, fearing you'd awaken to crush me with some unbelievable power that could somehow best my own. Fearing that the only thing in this entire universe that could overcome me was the same thing that prevented me from having Junior."

Her hysteria worsened, her tone condescending and mocking.

"But you're nothing but a weakling! All this time you were just another waste of space, nothing that could possibly challenge me!"

Vaylin dropped her arm back to her side, chuckling slightly once more.

"He never did tell you about his last visit to Zakuul one year ago, did he?"

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

Vegetto clenched his fists at Kire's words, keeping his eyes trained on the two.

"Damnit, we can't act now. Vaylin's guard's back up because of her little stunt, we have to wait it out."

Vegetto Jr's eyes sharpened even further, the rage clear in his face.

"We can't just sit here! She's going to die!"

The hybrid's eyes turned back, catching Vaylin's last sentence. His muscles tensed instinctively in response, gritting his teeth together.

No....no...
 
With the punch to her gut, she kept her footing rather well despite every other time she got hit, it would end the battle. The hit did take its toll on Jaz by having a small line of blood run from the corner of her mouth. She kept her glare on the woman, almost ignoring how close death was to her chest. Her skill were no where near of that of Vaylin but she still stood up to her when the others didn't. Listening to the girl's rambling, she spat at Vaylin's feet and rolled her eyes.

"Maybe I should freeze myself again to haunt your dreams next time." Jaz taunted. "But alright little miss precious... You wanna brag about it so much, go on! Tell me! What did Junior do on Zakuul? Did he ruin your plans? Did he kill your people? Did he destroy your pathetic army? Did he beat you to a pulp? Humor me, Vaylin!"

She instantly turned to Junior's yelling and shouted back at him, her voice serious.

"Stay out of this, Junior!"

Despite Vaylin nearly killing her moments ago, Jaz got in a very familiar stance; the same one Vegetto and Junior are familiar with. Her eyes remained locked on Vaylin, awaiting her answer. She even chuckled while she spat the remaining blood in her mouth at Vaylin's feet once again. Clearly she wasn't scared of this girl.

==========

Kire's cocky demeanor instantly turned into that of worry when he saw something aimed at Jaz's chest. He took a step forward and braced for whatever may come. He grew nervous but he noticed Jaz's determination on fighting Vaylin alone. He bit his lip and didn't know if he should help her or back off.
 
Kira realized something. "I can stall for more time... But Solaris get ready to get Jaz out of here, Emperor please continue trying to figure out how to get us out of here."
 
((Sorry guys for constant follow ups, but considering this is more of a 1v1 face off and each character doesn't need much of a response, I figured I'd try to push this scenario through as quickly as possible!))

Vegetto kept his attention locked on the two without acknowledging Solaris' request. Gogeta Jr. narrowed his eyes slightly, along with Koth, who both turned their heads towards Vegetto Jr.

"When did you go to Zakuul?"

Vegetto Jr. did not respond, his muscles still heavily tense with his sights trained on Vaylin.

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

Vaylin chuckled back in response, straightening herself up right.

"In a way, yes. He came to visit us a year ago, wanting to trade for information on you. He didn't believe us when we told him you were dead, but he wasn't exactly strong willed either."

Her eyes turned back towards Junior for a moment.

"You should've seen the defeat in his eyes, how he submitted to my brother. He was willing to trade it all for you; the rebels, his own friends, anything to free you and his family."

The dark purple aura continued to surge violently, nearly striking out as Jaz as Vaylin's tone turned dark.

"So I decided to make a deal with him, that I would tell him what really happened to you. And in return..."

The woman's eyes locked back onto Vegetto Jr, who fidgeted slightly.

"He had to satisfy my desires."

Vaylin paused for a second, but continued with a small chuckle.

"You wouldn't know, since you've never been intimate with him. But the passion he had...the power, the domination. It was intoxicating, to say the least."
 
Jaz's blood ran cold and her furious stare on Vaylin turned to Junior. Her face switched between anger, sadness, and denial. There was a long pause between Vaylin's words and her own. She turned to face Junior with a rather calm face but her voice showed the pain behind the topic. 

"Well... you did wha'cha had to do, Junior." Her voice trembled but she let out a chuckle to hide her weakness. "Thanks for looking out for me, kiddo! When this war is over, I'll make sure to get'cha a real cute wife on Earth; Vaylin clearly isn't cutting it for ya'."

She offered Junior a pained smile and turned back to Vaylin before cracking her knuckles and her neck. She bravely took one step to the girl, getting right up to her face, at least as high as she could.

"As for you..." Jaz's sadness quickly turned back to anger. "You're a smelly cunt for tricking my friend into doing some nasty stuff. You are not gonna get away that easy, not with me around, Lil' Vaylin." Jaz's hand instantly lashed out, gripping Vaylin's hair and pulling her down to her eye level. "You're mine, bitch." 

Jaz pulled Vaylin to the floor and rolled on top of her, holding her head down by her hair and punching her face with the same force as before with the other hand. She let out a scream of pure fury and made sure to keep on top of Vaylin if she ever struggled out of her grip. The things coming out of her mouth were just nothing but profanity and screams.

===========

Kire glared directly at Junior since Vaylin's comment about her 'close relationship' with him. His eyes grew gold with fury and he aimed his gun-arm at the boy. He held himself back however knowing that the others would jump him in a heartbeat. He growled under his breath as he directed his voice to Vegetto.

"You thinking of a way to get us out of here..?" Kire snapped. "Vaylin's gonna kill us all if you don't move, Vegetto!"
 
Golden Demigod Brachi was getting frustrated, yet she didn't make a move as she watched this going on. All she did was waiting for her opportunity to strike.
 
Grind it all, when is there an opening? Is it now!? Mioi had taken to climbing up the tree for a better viewpoint. They move far too fast... are these the same humans as before? She sweated, but kept her eye trained for any signal Vegetto would give to the others before glancing down at Oriko. We are running out of time.
 
Vegetto Jr. frowned immediately at Jaz's response, dropping his head slightly with a heavy expression. Gogeta Jr. and Koth kept strong glares, Koth's voice growing.

"You were about to sell us out to them?!"

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

Vaylin's confident and cool demeanor instantly disappeared as Jaz pulled her head down by her hair. Her expression contorted completely into primal rage, roaring as she suddenly launched her entire left arm in a swipe at Jaz's abdomen.

"Don't you dare touch me!!"

Vegetto's roar followed shortly after.

"Now!!"

The Potara fusion erupted straight into a dash towards Vaylin, dark purple energy glowing from both of his arms. Gogeta grimaced for a moment, before following after him in a similar bolt towards Vaylin.
 
Instantly Golden Demigod Brachi dashed forward, her fists reared back, ready to plant them into Vaylin's body, intending to deliver a beatdown of her own on the woman. 

Xenest himself followed suit, engaging his Phantom Form to deliver strikes himself on their target.
