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