"He spoke of ill omen to befall upon us should we play into his plan." She coo'ed. Her head slowly moving in a circling motion. Her neck popped several times. "Vegetto's son is in danger... Whatever he plans to do involves me and the boy. Some sort of bond and his goal to raise the boy's power."

Red Mist ran her fingers through her hair, seemingly trying to remember most of what that man said.

"In the end... the boy and your friend, Jaz, will die. With the power that man obtain, the rest of you will fall as well..." She glanced at the sky. "He also plans to blame it on Jaz due to her bond with Vegetto's son, using the love the boy has with her as his ticket to victory. This is all I know of this man's plan. I hope it will suffice."

Red Mist bowed her head to the group. Her voice a whisper. 

"So you best prepare... his plan seems to be folding as he foretold."
 
Vegetto kept his eyes narrowed, crossing his arms.

"He's planning on using my son? That doesn't make any sense...if he's foreseen all of this, then he'd know I'd be much stronger than my son now. What use would he be?"

Gogeta cleared his throat, prompting Vegetto's attention.

"You know I meant you too."

The other fusion shook his head.

"No, not that. I don't know if you've noticed but...that strange power coming from you. We felt it again on Rakata Prime, when you attacked Arkous and Darok."

Darth Marr's tone suddenly broke in, the impatience clear in his tone.

"We can debate theology later. Where is the boy?"

Whis kept an emotionless stare.

"Recovering aboard the spacedock in the heart of the Republic fleet. I doubt Vitiate's plan involves him, he's too far away from Ziost to be a likely target."

Darth Marr grunted.

"Then we'll see to it another time."

Goku raised an eyebrow.

"Don't you want to see what his plan is?"

Darth Marr crossed his arms in response.

"I'd rather not give him the opportunity to set it into motion."

He glanced back towards the others.

"Use your Instant Transmission to teleport down to the surface. We've already found fortifications surrounding the People's Tower, and the Strike Force has already engaged the Revanite defenders protecting the sanctuary inside. Break through their defenses, find Revan, and put a stop to him. There's no time, we have to act now or the Emperor will consume us all."

Vegetto raised two fingers to his forehead, waiting to see if any others grabbed onto his shoulders.
 
Brachi, Xenest, Busa, Majin Bara, Future Brachi and Future Xenest were ready to follow Vegetto, putting a hand on his shoulder, ready to follow and show Revan a thing or two.
 
Mioi followed the others' actions, looking at her group with uncertainty. "I'm sure he would have already foreseen us approaching him. Fighting against predetermined futures are the only way to alter them, it seems." The marclops felt determined rather than her usual aloofness,and it felt invigorating.
 
((If you didn't get to post, feel free to just have your character travel along in the next one!))

Once the others had finished grasping onto his shoulder, Vegetto suddenly disappeared into thin air.

((If you're looking for a bit extra on visuals and want to see the inspiration behind the next part, watch the video at 3:55 except imagine the whole backdrop including the temple being underground! Remember guys: while it is fun to follow along with the original material, keep in mind that I encourage you to deviate based on how your character should respond. Anything is possible here in this confrontation: you may not even have to fight Revan if you go about it in a different way. So whatever way you want to play your character is more than acceptable, don't think you have to follow some dynamic here!))

Vegetto lowered his arm once the group had found even footing, glancing around. The rumble above from the muffled explosions shook the ceiling, dust slowly filtering down onto the group from the force. The fusion's eyes slowly turned towards the robed man across the way, staring at the bright purple beam of energy pointing towards them.

Goku and Vegeta both spanned outwards around the arena with narrowed eyes, tensing as Vegetto clenched his fists.

"It's over."

Revan's mechanized voice rung out next, the frustration clear in his tone.

"You've been at my heels far too long! I knew the Ziost plan was a long shot, but I had to try. Had to make it legitimate..."

He dropped his saber down towards the ground, pacing to his left.

"I had to fool you into avoiding this planet. You were supposed to investigate Rakata Prime long enough for me to finish here, but no!! You couldn't do that, could you?!"
 
"We can't, Revan. There's a reason for that. Your actions are going to endanger the entire multiverse unless you stop it now. I mean, yes, the emperor is a threat as he is now, but bringing him
back to life will only make things worse! Listen to reason and stop this madness here and now. You couldn't hope to end the emperor on your own, and not even we could probably match up to his power." Haribu spoke after ITing in with Oriko and Lucifer.
 
"And what are you thinking by putting innocent civilians in the crossfire, huh?!" Brachi demanded, crossing her arms as she floated slightly in place, while Xenest, Busa, Majin Bara, Future Xenest and Future Brachi remained silent yet ready.
 
Mioi kept her eye on the saber that Revan dropped on the floor, but knew it would be pointless to just knock it away.

"Resurrecting the Emperor will only worsen the circumstances on all angles, including yours." Of course, the alien's power was only a small sliver of the ones around her and had a learning progress on the ability to use the Force, but her ability to watch carefully was likely her best weapon. Standing before someone like Revan made her pulse race even faster. Pacifism likely wouldn't be of any use in this situation.

All I can do is wait for the right opportunity... killing him outright wouldn't be a proper solution to anything...
 
Revan scoffed, keeping his blade down.

"You don't understand, I don't intend to just revive the Emperor. He must take on a physical form, so that I can finally kill him."

Vegeta glared back in response, coming to a halt to Revan's left.

"This thing you plan on resurrecting has the power to siphon energy from all living beings. You're only giving him what he wants: he wants to take your energy. If you keep on this path, you'll only guarantee all of our deaths and the multiverse itself."

Revan glanced slightly towards Vegeta for a moment, before chuckling darkly. Vegetto's own eyes narrowed slightly as well, the dark purple aura rapidly flaring up from underneath his boots.

"He won't cooperate. And besides, you still need to die for what you did to my capital planet."

The fusion blinked in shock, however, as he suddenly collapsed to one knee with a hard thud. The cement cracked beneath his knee, his head turning up to the sight of his dark purple aura funneling into a cone towards Revan's now outstretched free hand. The black lightning pulsed around the masked man's body, the dark red glint in his mask illuminating outwards for a moment.

"Of course, it's so obvious now why you want to stop me from saving the universe. You have no idea what I am...what I've become."

Revan paced back to his right, watching on as Gogeta knelt down to next to Vegetto, who panted heavily in his normal state.

"I was a Dark Lord of the Sith, I was the Prodigal Knight of the Jedi. I was the epitome of power itself...but I was also weak."

He clenched his free hand into a balled up fist.

"Don't you understand? I spent 300 years in lockstep with the Emperor's mind! He thought to use me, he thought I was nothing more than a conduit of knowledge on the Jedi. He didn't realize that after all this time, I had used him too!"

He swiped his fist down.

"I can destroy him, using his own power against him! I can finally have revenge on my jailer and save the universe doing it! It's too perfect to be coincidence; this is what I was born to do. I am destined to destroy the Emperor!"
 
Brachi growled as the scene played out.

"And what if you have achieved your goal, then what? Will there be songs sung in great praise for what you have achieved for eons to come? Not taking into account the innocent lives whom have fallen for just being on the wrong place at the wrong time? Do you really believe that you can achieve what you're looking for and not expect any consequences or repercussions from the actions you have undertaken in order to do so? If you want to do your part in saving the universe, that's fine, but you definitely should consider the paths that lie before you, the choices you make and what kind of consequences your actions may have." She asked, not attacking him but instead attempting to reason.
