Goku huffed as he glanced around, rubbing the side of his left arm with narrowed eyes.
"I think we're done here, I can't sense any other sources of godly energy around. So before we head out and fight the rest of the Sith, we should report back to General Darok and let him know his homeworld belongs to him again."
Vegeta nodded his head once, moving up to Goku's side and clutching onto his shoulder with Vegetto Jr. slung across his opposite shoulder. Beerus moved to the other, grasping onto the larger Saiyan's shoulder before he raised two fingers to his forehead.
============================
Vegetto grunted, leaping over after the Red Mist with a frown and moving to her side, tugging on her shoulder after speaking with the child.
"Stand down!"
The child had trembled a bit in response, but stared on at the two after the exchange with a frown.
"I'm scared..."
The Potara fusion paused, turning to glance down at the child for a moment who retreated to grasping onto his mother's leg. His eyes moved up to meet hers, who offered a small half smile.
"Don't mind him my lord, he's just a little tense after what happened. He's a little excited to meet you."
Vegetto nodded his head once, moving to kneel down as well next to the boy. He paused for a moment, narrowing his eyes at the glow around the boy's neck. After studying it for a few seconds, Vegetto glanced back up to the child staring at him, raising an eyebrow.
"Is that true?"
The boy rapidly nodded his head, still clinging to his mother's right leg.
"Yeah, I want to have cool powers and fight bad guys like you when I get older! I want to be the strongest Sith there ever was, and be strong enough to be your sparring buddy!"
Vegetto chuckled a bit in response, a small ringing in his left ear beeping. He slowly lifted his hand to tap the receiver, his eyes still trained on the boy.
"Well, I certainly look forward to seeing your progress in the Academy. Don't keep me waiting for too long though, alright? I am getting older..."
:My leige...we've uncovered a new element in the parasite from the tests we've run on some subjects here in the medical facility on site.:
Vegetto turned his gaze towards the floor, listening on as Darth Marr's tired voice continued.
:It seems the parasite infecting those people responds when they speak words, probably incoded to a language as the infection only spreads when audible words are spoken. However, despite your ability to cleanse them by clearing their throats with your energy, we discovered that it takes merely fourteen words in total for the parasite to spread deep into the lungs and heart. The bugs infect the organs directly, able to survive inside of the tissues without harming the victims due to their size which is why everyone in that quarantine zone appears healthy outside of the glow around their necks. Yet they're able to spread through the air from the spoken word if they infect the hosts' lungs, making every single person infected with them a potential threat to the galaxy.
Vegetto's eyes widened, turning his gaze up to the child and mother staring at him, ignorant of the pained voice in his ear.
:My lord...there's nothing we can do for them now. We have to kill them.:
