Revan kept a condescending tone, his voice tense.

"And that is why the Republic is weak. You're so concerned with every little life in this universe that you can't do what must be done..."

He shook his head in annoyance.

"There's no cost too great! I would snuff out every life on this world to draw the Emperor out. To awaken him with the souls of millions, so that all of existence would be saved when I destroy him."

Goku narrowed his eyes, diverting slightly towards the temple behind the masked warrior.

"Don't do this Revan. You have a unique power, yes...but I can sense the energy coming from that temple. I've faced hundreds of villains from all over the universe, even tasted the power of the forces of fear that created this existence."

A small frown began to form.

"This is on another level entirely..."

Revan scoffed.

"Fool, you still don't comprehend. It doesn't matter how powerful the Emperor has become, I can still stop this!"
 
"Hm.. He could have a point." Red Mist finally spoke out. "But the way he wants to accomplish it is nonsense. I may not understand your goal entirely, but killing innocent lives proves you are no better than the enemy you wish to destroy."

Red Mist seemed a little aloof about the subject at hand but she spoke from what she has learned. 

"You might have a promising idea, Sir Revan, but your actions will fault you. A strong man such as yourself can surely bring out this emperor with the plan you have in store... But you are not wise. A wise man finds another way, leaving the innocent out." Red Mist sighed, seemingly bored with the man. "You are just as evil as the emperor you wish to erase. Your plan will be your own demise but you are either too blind or too foolish to see that."

Red Mist shrugged, her gaze shifting to the ground, her shoulders slump.

"But who am I to judge? I know nothing of you. You fight for peace and I fight for peace but we both have different views and roads of obtaining it... Was I wrong in the road I picked?" She then lifted her head to stare at the ceiling. "Or am I looking at what's wrong with yours..? Peace is so cruel to the one seeking it, how tragic."
 
"If you are certain of your power, then it should be no hindrance to you for us to intervene." Mioi said. "Assuming you do in fact defeat the emperor, the disorder will not end.  Or do you have a foolproof plan to seal the wounds all of this has ripped open?" She found it pointless to attack, but simply keeping him talking was appearing to work somewhat. So long as they bought whomever was fighting at the surface some time.
 
"And how does taking the lives of the innocent be of any help? There are OTHER paths to defeat an adversary, even those which do not involve having innocent people getting caught in the crossfire. We may be cherishing life as you say, but that gives us something worth fighting for, something that will let us come back to after a well-earned victory and be with our loved ones once again." Brachi said.

"That is why we fight, so that we can hold our spouses in our arms, play with our children and be sure that they will live to see another day for decades to come." Xenest said.
 
Revan's tone increasingly rose in his agitation, reaching towards his beltline with his free hand. A second metal cylinder pulled off the clip of his belt, this time, a red blade of energy igniting as he twirled both weapons forward.

"You'd save the lives of a few innocents at the price of all existence. You're nothing more than self righteous fools, wasting my time and delaying the salvation of the multiverse. For all you talk of your loved ones, they're no where to be found. You have nothing!"

Emerging from the entrance, another team of figures quickly made their way up from behind the group. Darth Marr spoke first, moving up from behind the Red Mist's right as he spoke.

"You are wrong, Revan. They have powerful allies."

Two blue energy blaes igniting from Vegetto's left, the fusion turning towards Satele Shan.

"Both Sith and Jedi."

Theron fiddled with his pistol, having moved up to Satele's side while Lana's own orange blade ignited.

"Allies from all corners of the universe."

Revan only chuckled in response, clutching his sabers tightly.

"Bring as many fools as you like. You still won't stop what must be done."

Satele kept a frown in response.

"Can't you see what you've become? Your hatred and regrets are consuming you."

Revan shook his head once.

"No, what I see instead is my own flesh and blood standing against me. What I see is how corrupted the Emperor has made this universe, and now I fully understand my responsibility."

He slowly lifted his shoulders.

"Just as I was enlightened, so too will this existence. Only in death will you come to realize how wrong you truly are!!"

Both lightsabers suddenly spiraled outwards, cutting through the air towards Mioi and Gogeta as Revan hung his arms out. His wrists began to glow, radiating with purple energy while only Gogeta matched in the glow, the fusion huffing in exhaustion before collapsing to one knee.

"I can't...move!"
 
"Like I'll let that happen!" Haribu yelled out as he shot multiple ki blasts at the lightsaber aimed at Gogeta. Oriko entered his draconic form again while Lucifer shot multiple demonic blasts at Revan.
 
Brachi growled.

"I've had enough of this nonesense. It's time we're going to knock some sense in you the HARD way!" She snarled as she got in a power-up stance.

Suddenly, the surroundings turned completely black as Brachi powered up. This time, bright golden sparks were flying up from the ground as gold lightning crashed down around her, while golden energy rings emanated from her as her power grew. Afterimages of herself appeared, accompanied by the sound of a beating heart for about 5 times, the intervals decreasing, right before a bright golden star-shaped energy sphere covered Brachi, blinding anyone in sight. As it dissipated, the group would see that Brachi had changed entirely, something which would surprise even Gogeta and Vegetto. Brachi's entire body, from hair to toe, had completely colored various shades of gold to gold-orange, with the fur being a darker shade of gold than her skin, while her eyes were a crimson red. A magnificent, metallic golden halo had appeared behind her, being a large round ring with metallic gravings all over it and what appeared to be spike-like appendages on the bottom area, while her gloves had become metalized and covered her under arms up to her elbow, while leaving the palm of her hands and underside of her fingers exposed. This was further accompanied by the appearance of a set of purple bio-electricity that surged around her body at regular intervals... it was as if Brachi had found a way to transform past her Dread Android form on her own!
 
The light didn't help matters as the saber flying at Mioi pierced through deep into her right shoulder; the entire limb would have been severed if she didn't make any reaction to move. Being a student of the Jedi, she was well aware how much damage a lightsaber could do. 

Unfortunately, she didn't have one to wield. Once her vision focused, she retaliated with several energy blasts fired from her eye in Revan's direction. The eye glowed a blueish green hue, but she was forced to hold her arm and shoulder together. She was capable of regeneration but of this magnitude an injury, it definitely wouldn't have enough time compared to a normal cut or two. 

Damn. That was a close one. Mioi breathed heavily, taking the initiative to move behind Brachi. "Without a saber, I can't counter him properly."
 
Red Mist glanced at Gogeta's state and instantly appeared in front of him, attempting to defend him. She remembered the metal cylinder she had and noticed the shape was similar to the weapons presented by Revan and the others. Her gaze narrowed at Revan but she seemed ready to protect both Vegetto and Gogeta. Something was a little off with her though. She took a hold of the metal cylinder and spun it around. It turned on and the same purple beam from before appeared. Red Mist took a stance and took a sharp breath.

"Forgive me Father..." She whispered to herself. "I might lose control of myself..."

Red Mist vanished before Gogeta's eyes and appeared by Revan, attempting to stab him with a straight forward samurai style attack with the purple beam. It was odd because she usually attacked much more than this, especially against Vegetto. It almost seemed as if Red Mist was trying to test something.

"You attack the wrong people, Sir Revan..." Her voice rung out. "Please reconsider."
 
The lightsaber shooting towards Gogeta sliced into multiple blasts fired by Haribu, but suddenly bounced away in a tiny explosion a few meters in front of the Red Mist and Gogeta. The cylinder bounced along the hard cement for a moment, having been hit directly in the hilt by the energy before rapidly shooting back towards Revan.

The masked warriors disabling grip disappear, prompting Gogeta to drop his head slightly in a hard pant. A dark purple glow radiated from Revan as he caught both of the sabers he called back to him in time to parry Red Mist's initial strike. His purple blade clashed with hers, directing her blade to his right harmlessly by his ribs as he used his free arm to swing his red blade down towards Mist's head.

The blade however clashed with another red energy, holding off the energy as Darth Marr's arms trembled in response.

===========

"Padawan!!"

Satele Shan's voice was followed by a large silver cylinder with two blue blades ignited from the ends being tossed towards Mioi. Her eyes began to close slightly, lifting her right hand with two fingers pointed up.

"Use my saber...I'll keep your wounds sealed as long as I can concentrate."

A bright yellow energy began to glow around Mioi's injured soldier, the open wound closed. Despite the pressure of the energy keeping the two ends together, it did nothing to regenerate the limbs together.

"This should let your body regenerate...don't use that arm until you can feel it again..."

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

Goku and Vegeta both powered up to their Dread Saiyan forms, bolting forward with reeled fists as well. Revan snarled, twisting his body to snake out of the hold Marr and the Red Mist had him locked in before spinning back around, facing towards the group. A massive large blast of wind exploded forth from his palms, striking Darth Marr and the Mist head on. The Sith grunted, flipping back and slamming into a cement wall a few meters away from the force.

The two Saiyans dodge to the side as the visible ripple of the wind shot past them, closing the gap within seconds. However, both hacked in pain, dropping to their knees as the visible streams of purple surrounding their bodies funneled towards Revan's now open palms, his hilts now resting on his belt. It was clear the masked warrior's full concentration was needed to siphon their energy, Goku and Vegeta rapidly reverting back to their normal states.

"I won't be denied my destiny!!"
