"Psychic Thunder. It's an electric blast we 'Offworlders' can use to relieve an enemy of alterations to their bodies. Unfortunately for you," she says with a smug grin, "That includes Super Saiyan."
Topaz points towards the source of the signal. "Getting weird readings thataway. Sound like your man... or woman, or whatever?"
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."While his face shows no reaction, a very brief jolt from his shoulders suggests that he's nervous about the idea.
"Well... it could be quite dangerous. Are you sure you want to come along?", he asks.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay."..."
"Crap."
"Alright then, but stay behind me, and don't do anything rash."
He starts walking again.
"I'm not gonna lose anymore time discussing and arguing. Time is running out and I have to get to Mara, regardless of whatever obstacles get in my way!"
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay."... No. If I had a member of my team here, we could perform EX-Fusion -" she points to a band around her upper arm. "- but it's just me."
Topaz is a goddamn Time Patroller. Reacting quickly and displaying as little surprise as possible is a must for her.
She stops dead the moment Ken does, taking a single step back just because.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Ken does a gesture to stay silent, then slowly moves forward through some bushes. After a little bit more walking, he stops again, looking through the leaves.
"There she is...", he thinks to himself when he sees Mara
◊ seemingly meditating all on her own.
"Nah, it's a regular Fusion Dance, but each of the dancers is wearing an armband called a Metamo-ring." She gestures again to the band around her upper arm, then snickers a little as she remembers how her own version of Goku had called them "Mega-Boring".
"The ring allows people of differing heights and power levels to fuse, unlike the normal Fusion Dance, and just like Potara Fusion involving a Supreme Kai, it's permanent without actively seeking to defuse. The fused warrior just has to remove their Metamo-ring to split back into two. Also the EX Fusion's clothes are similar to Potara fusion, being a color-altered mix of the fusees' outfits instead of just a Metamoran outfit."
Topaz sees Mara and thinks about how closely she resembles Callis's description of one of her temporary allies in the fight against Baby Vegito Black. She wants to say, I think I've heard of that person, but thankfully common sense prevails and she remains silent.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.""That's pretty neat !" says Goku. "Vegeta would probably chew you out for"
"Relying on such a cheap move !" says Vegeta, landing down upon the ring. "Kakarot ! You will condemn these tools as well !"
"Haha, classic Vegeta !"

"How do I approach her without risking anything going wrong..."
While he is thinking, however, Topaz may sense the slightest hint of movement from right behind the both of them.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay."Oh hey, it's Vegeta! Have you seen my friend Pinich around anywhere? He's a Saiyan who's training under an alternate version of you. If he's come here too, I wouldn't put it past him to have mistaken you for his Vegeta."
She seems to have completely forgotten about EX Fusion.
Topaz looks back, making sure to seem casual, like someone just glancing across the street while traversing a sidewalk.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."And she'll see Mara darkly grinning back at her.
"What're you two looking at?" , she asks tauntingly, causing Ken to jump and turn around immediately.
"W-what... but-"
"I heard you two coming, so I made a quick illusion."

"The people here are pretty weird."
"Robin ! It is unpolite to refer to our allies with such names."
"I know, but I'm just having a hard time understanding how these worlds work."
—
"No, I did not encounter anyone with such a name ! Kakarot ! Who is she ?"
"She's a Supreme Kai ! She's pretty strong too !"
"Tsk ! Just don't influence her into some kind of hypocritical narcissist and we're fine !"
"She sounds like she's got a sound head, haha !"
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitter"... Uh-oh."
Topaz's composure goes out the window. She actually leaps backwards clear over Ken's head, landing feet-first behind him and immediately striking her fighting pose. However, once she realizes it was Mara going out of her way to startle them, she relaxes, exhaling a bit as she steps out from behind Ken.
"If I may speak, there's something I'm wondering about that I just need to ask. Miss or ma'am, do you remember ever getting in a fight that involved a young woman with a monkey tail? Green hair, sometimes yellow or blue? Said fight also involved a narcissistic asshole who talked in two voices at once?"

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Vegeta frowns, Goku scratches his cheek;
"Did I say something wrong ?"
—
Robin nods multiple times.
"So, if I may ask, do you know what just happened over there ? It involved something huge and metallic firing magical attacks."
"I hope that lady Anna and sir Jake are fine." add Lucina. "It would be a great tragedy for them to die because of some... unknown machine."
"It would take a lot more than some dumb floating thing to take down Anna, Lucina, don't worry."

"Oh, that. Yeah, I remember that." , she says, smirking. "That Saiyan gave me quite a power boost for a little while."
She crosses her arms.
"Don't tell me this is why you were sneaking up on me?"

The device will... 'half-detect' something nearby, showing her warped readings.
