Saiyan fan: You really think Goku wouldn't show up for the biggest fight of the arc? As for the training stuff, Goku will be shown training with at least one or two more members.
Various guests: Vegeta just doesn't fit very well in this kind of story. He will cameo but he is not going to be a major player. Sorry, but that's really all I can say.
Chapter 20: The Phantom Menace Part 2: Prisoner of War
Lucy groaned, slouching against the wall of the cell. Just a few hours ago Lucy had been walking through Magnolia, trying to stay out of the rain and sort out where she felt her place in the guild was. Then a weird girl with a pink umbrella appeared, said hello, walked past, and the next thing Lucy knew, people were rising out of the ground and she was drowning in the middle of the street. What the actual fuck?
She'd woken up locked in a cell and, of course, her keys were missing. The first thing she did was try the door, throwing her weigh into the thick wood until splinters littered her arm. So the window wasn't an option unless she felt suicidal, the walls were too smooth to scale and unlike most Fairies, she couldn't throw herself off cliffs and be fine because of the power of friendship. Then her attention was drawn to the crystal ball.
It was an inconspicuous, dirty little orb set over by the corner of her room. At first she was going to ignore the trinket but with nothing else in the room to grab her attention she eventually made her way over to it. When her hand touched the sphere it was filled by a soft glow and a hazy image began to fade into view. The blonde Celestial Mage watched first in curiosity and then in ever growing horror as her friends were torn apart by the might of Phantom Lord. She trembled in rage and fear as she witnessed each and every one of her comrades was slowly overwhelmed and pushed back. She saw Erza's fall, and collapsed unable to watch any more.
"Lucy Heartfillia."
Lucy jerked back with a start as crystal ball was suddenly consumed by Jose's image.
"All of this is thanks to you."
"Wha-what are you…?"
"The tale of the disenchanted heiress fleeing from her destiny to a supposedly better life, it always amuses me when the storybook clichés come to life. But this time, it will be my dreams that come true. If you hadn't run away then your father wouldn't have put such a massive bounty for your safe return, and if it wasn't for that then I wouldn't have an excuse to wipe Fairy Tail off the map. For you see, what greater hero is there than the one that reunites the adoring family and takes down the criminals keeping them apart? And with Fairy Tail's reputation for destruction, I should have no trouble selling that angle at all. Everything is set up even better than my wildest dreams, and it's all thanks to you."
Lucy gaped in horror as the words slowly sunk into her mind. If what he said was true, then she was the one responsible for the horrible condition of all of her friends. Then the waver in her eyes disappeared as her gaze hardened.
"No…No! You're wrong! It's my Fathers fault for pushing me away or it's your fault for being a sick freak! You would have attacked them eventually, I'm just your scapegoat! I won't let you get away with this!"
"You say that as though you have a choice. There is no way out of that room and the door will not be opening until your friends are taken care of. No point giving you any opportunities to escape, right? This whole matter should be resolved this time tomorrow, I'm sure you can go without food until then. There is a pot in the corner of the room in case you need to go to the bathroom. I am a considerate host after all. We'll speak again when its time to take you to your father. Until then, I'll just set this little orb here on a nice long loop. You can watch my heroic guild fend off your kidnappers to your heart's content!"
And so it looped again. She knew she shouldn't look, that she should look away, but she couldn't turn away from her friends. Their condition was in large part because of her father, she couldn't ignore it. And so it looped again. And again.
She watched as debris tore a gash through Elfman's forehead that bleed so fiercely it forced his right eye to close. She watched as Loke was struck in the side and how he seemed to heavily favor his left leg as he fled the building. She watched Alzack and Bisca as they went back to back, constantly throwing themselves into danger for the sake of the other. Natsu, one of her first real friends as he and Gray unleashed everything they had in a desperate gambit to protect the fallen mages they were sheltering. She saw Cana as she…
Cana…
CANA!

Two weeks ago
"Are we really going to do this?"
"Is the payment for this job still a huge barrel of booze? Cause if it is then we are totally doing this!"
"This brewery is massive though! Who knows how long it's going to take to make sure it's all clear!"
"Aw come on Luce, it's not that bad. But you are right, the longer it takes for us to complete this, the long it will take to get all that booze. Hm… oh! Why don't we split up? That way we can get done in half the time!"
"…are you sure that's a good idea? What if something happens?"
"These gremlin things don't even come up to your knees Luce, what do you think is going to happen?"
"… The last mission I was on a little flute turned into a skyscraper sized monster and tried to eat me!"
"Wait, Natsu was being serious about that? I thought he was just exaggerating to try and show everyone up again? That's awesome!"
"Cana, come on! Can't we just stick together?"
"I really want to get the booze though! Come ooooooon!" Cana draped herself over her partners shoulder and poked her in the side. "You wanna get drunk with me don't yeah? It'll be real fun, I promise!"
"I just don't want to get over my head…"
"Oh! I'm so dumb, I should have thought of this before!"
"What? What are you talking about?" Cana ignored her and pulled out her various decks. It took her a few minutes of shuffling through all of her cards but eventually she pulled out one with a blank face. Smiling when she saw it, the older brunette promptly smacked her friend on the forehead with it.
"Hey! What the heck Cana?" Again she was ignored as the gambler stared intently at the little piece of paper. Her smile grew as a small, chibi Lucy appeared on the card, animated to wave at the two girls cheerfully. Cana then pulled out a second card, this time with a smirking chibified version of herself waving around a little bottle of beer. She handed the card with her picture to her partner and slid its counterpart into her own packet with a sly grin.
"There we go! You channel some magic into that one and it will let me know that you need help and lead me too you. Mine will do the same thing for you, so make sure you always keep that little cutie on you alright? Now let's do this!" With that Cana dashed away, laughing the whole while.
"Wait, no! Come on Cana, come back!" Lucy wailed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"The card…" Lucy mumbled, immediately the girl was fumbling through her pockets, turning them all out onto the ground. A stick of bubblegum, some loose change, a piece of string, a bag of candy, and several other random pieces of crap hit the ground as she searched. She didn't even remember picking up half this stuff.
Cana's card was naturally in the last pocket she checked. Quickly channeling magic into the card, hope blossomed in her chest as the chibi Cana reached out to as if to comfort her while mouthing 'help is coming.' With tears in her eyes she turned her attention to the other two items that had been in her pocket.
That red key Erza had asked her to investigate, Lucy hadn't gotten around to it yet. She didn't dare use it right now. There was no telling what it might summon. But the other thing she had…
Lucy grinned.
A golden key. Erza had given this to her after that Deloria incident. Lucy hadn't gotten around to summoning the spirit yet.
She was trapped in enemy territory with who knew how many mages around her and her friends on the verge of defeat, but suddenly that didn't matter quite so much anymore.
She wasn't helpless anymore, she wasn't just waiting for her friends to save her. She wasn't going to slow them down or hold them back or put them in danger.
She had a contract to make.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The shattered attack squad was forced to stop only a few miles away from the Phantom Lord guild. The makeshift icy bandage that was keeping Erza from bleeding out was beginning to melt away as the warm blood overwhelmed it. Natsu was standing over the unconscious girl, his hand wreathed in flame.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Gray nodded as he and Elfman made sure they had a tight grip on their unconscious comrade. It would only be worse if she flinched and moved.
"We've got no choice Natsu, unless you want here to bleed out here, then we've got to make sure the wound closes. Porlyusica can get rid of scarring and stuff no problem, by if she's going to do anything to help then Erza needs to be alive. Now do it before she bleeds out!"
"Damn it…sorry Erza, but you gotta live!" With a roar the boy brought down his open, flaming palm directly down on the gaping hole. The stench of burning flesh hit the air as Erza screamed, not even waking to do so. Every conscious mage averted their gaze, faces grim as the wound sealed. Gray and Elfman were barely able to hold her down as she buckled around in a futile attempt to escape the overwhelming pain. Finally Natsu removed his hand to reveal a patch of charred, blackened flesh. Biting back a vile string of curses the teen stumbled a few steps away.
"Alright…alright. It's done." Natsu said, face an odd shade of green. "I think I'm going to be sick." Gray patted his friends shoulder sympathetically.
"You probably just saved her life. We don't have time for grief."
Natsu nodded. "…Gray."
"Hm?"
"They're going to come after us aren't they?"
"…Probably. They weren't planning on letting us walk out of there, that's for sure. If I had to guess, I'd say they're going to wait on us. They'll let us go back to the guild and attack us there. Nowhere left to run."
"Damn it all. We need to get back soon and get Mira to send out an emergency call."
"Yeah. I just hope that the rest of our S-class are close enough to help us. If we're really lucky Gildarts will come. That would end this fight on the spot."
"They'll be here, don't worry. In fact, I bet some of them already heard about what happened to Shadowgear and are on their way back already! Once we've got a full team again we'll smash those Phantom bastards apart for what they did!"
"That sounds like a plan I can get behind hot-head. I could go for some payback."
"That's what I want to hear you cold bastard. They won't know what hit 'em."
"Damn straight."
Once the group had patched up those that they could they made ready to move again. They couldn't risk taking the train, not when Phantom Lord could ambush them there. So they stayed to the woods, stripping trees for gurneys and makeshift casts as they went. Cana was helping wrap damp leaves around a burn on Elfman's forearm when the back of her pants started to vibrate loudly. Elfman raised an eyebrow at the sound and Cana swatted him in the back of the head as she fished her deck of cards out of her pocket. When she saw just which card was reacting her face paled. Grabbing the nearest mage and throwing them at Elfman to finish patching him up, the brunette sprinted to the front of the group.
"GRAY! NATSU! WE GOT A PROBLEM!" Instantly the two boys were on guard, magic flaring up around them as they looked for targets. Cana quickly waved them down and pulled out her card, showing a desperate looking Lucy on the front.
"I gave Lu a card a couple weeks ago so she could signal me in case of an emergency for a job. A couple minutes ago it went off."
"Phantom beat us back to the guild? Damn it, I'm even sure what we should do then!" Gray snarled.
"That's what I thought at first too, but the card isn't pointing towards Fairy Tail. It's pointing back towards Phantom."
"Those bastards kidnapped her? I'll go turn them to ash! Give me the card, I'll leave right now!"
"That won't work Natsu." Cana said as she pulled the card away from her fiery friend.
"Why the hell not! Someone's gotta go save her!"
"But it can't be you! You and Gray are the only ones who have a shot of holding Phantom off right now if they find us before we get back to the guild. You need to stay here to protect everyone. I'll go instead." Natsu grimaced unhappily but didn't argue the logic. Gray on the other hand wasn't done.
"How do you plan on getting her back?"
"I'll try and sneak in and sneak out with her so I don't have to worry about getting in a fight and trapped."
"What happens if she's injured?"
"What do you mean?"
"You're no better off than anyone else, we all used a ton of power back there. If Lucy is injured and you end up having to carry her, can you get her out safely back to the guild? And then, can you carry her and fight if you get caught?"
"Oh…crap. But still, I can't afford to take you guys with me!"
"Yeah, you made a good point. Alright… LISTEN UP!" The ice mage bellowed. Once he had the attention of the guild on him, he continued. "Phantom has kidnapped Lucy! Cana's going to lead a team to get her back, so I need two volunteers who can go with her!"
Every conscious Fairy stuck their hand in the air.
"I need two volunteers who AREN'T injured and still have enough power left to fight your way out if needed." Just a few hands dropped, most of the guild remained resolute, bandages and all.
"Let's see…Alzack, you sure you're good to go?" The western themed mage gave a curt nod, twirling his pistols around in his hands as he walked over.
"Bisca would come too, but she dislocated her shoulder and can't really deal with any recoil right now."
"That's fine, we'll make sure she gets patched up while you're away. For the second-"
"I'M GOING!" Cana blinked in surprise.
"Wakaba? Are you sure?"
"Hell yeah I'm sure!" Wakaba snarled, twirling his pipe angrily. He had relatively few injuries, but his pompadour was falling apart. "One of my drinking buddies is down for the count with a concussion and the others about to go on some insane suicide mission. It's going to be a month before Macao is healthy enough to go out for a victory drink with me once this is over, so I need to make sure at least one of my fellow alcoholics is in good condition!"
"I'm not a damn alcoholic! But…thanks Wakaba."
"No problem kid." With the three assembled Cana quirked an eyebrow at Fairy Tail's makeshift leaders. Exchanging a curt nod the pair went to continue helping their comrades while the small rescue part disappeared into the foliage.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In the Fairy Tail medical wing Mirajane sat on a small stool, keeping watch over her three temporary charges. They weren't in danger anymore, slowly but surely the cocktail of magical medicines were bringing the trio back to good health. After Lucy had departed for home Mira had kept a diligent watch, hardly ever leaving their sides. This may have surprised most people that came to Fairy Tail, but the guild always had a fully stocked medical supplies, they needed them considering how rowdy they all were. Shadowgear was in good hands, and she was ready to help patch up her friends once they returned home.
On the bedside nearest her hospital bed, Levy's satchel began to tremble. A faint glow permeated its depths as its contents began to rattle. As the noise grew later Mirajane finally noticed the disturbance. Curiously, the former S-class mage made her way over to the bag and unlatched its restraint. The moment it was open the glow moved and Mirajane watched in wonder as a rapidly forming Phoenix feather floated up into the air. The feather danced around the room, briefly hovering over each member of Team Shadowgear before coming to a stop a few feet above Levy's forehead. A golden flame sprouted out of the magical quill, and before Mirajane had time to react the entire room was bathed in its light.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"This is so boring."
"Oh my god Tom. Shut up."
"No seriously. We could be helping to clean up all that fairy trash. But instead we're stuck at the base guarding this one fairy bimbo."
"Wow. You're right, that's a great point. I completely did not understand what you meant the last five times you said that."
"You know what Becky? Why do you have to be such a bit- ARGHGUHH!"
"Tom? What's that? A tarot card- Argh!"
Cana smirked in grim satisfaction as the two phantom mages writhed on the ground. They both had one of Cana's cards stuck to her forehead, a lightning bolt glowing brightly on its face. A short distance away Alzack was pocketing two smoking pistols while Wakaba dragged a couple of guards into an alley. Once they were out of sight he took a long drag on his pipe and grinned at his teammates.
"Well, that's five guards down and somehow they don't know we're here yet. Bet they didn't expect any Fairies to come back here." Alzack nodded in agreement as he pulled out a small telescope from his cloak to scan the surroundings.
"They got a bit confident didn't they? They probably thought they had the cushy job, just watch the defenseless girl while the rest of their guys went out to hunt us down." While the men kept watch Cana pulled out Lucy's card once more, waiting for the little chibi character to point her in the right direction. The mini Lucy pulled out a giant cardboard arrow and jabbed it upward.
Craning her neck Cana looked up to the sky, where a massive tower was poking the rising above all the other buildings. Alzack and Wakaba followed her gaze, exasperation clear on their face when they realized the significance of her gaze. After a moment Alzack sighed.
"Alright so, somehow we need to get inside the building without anyone hearing or seeing us, sneak our way through unknown territory to find our way to the tower, disable whatever guards are near it, get Lucy out, treat whatever injuries she has, and then make our way back through the exit without anyone noticing us. This will be difficult."
"Or…" Wakaba drawled out, "we could just take the quick route." Ignoring the questioning looks thrown his way, the chain smoker blew hard into his pipe until a couch sized cloud was floating in the air. With a smug grin he hopped up into the air and landed lightly on the cloud.
"Been working on this since I saw Goku with that cute little cloud of his. Still can't get it to go very fast, but it can float just fine." Cana walked up to the cloud and gave it a cautious tap. When her hand failed to pass through she hopped up, landing on top of the cloud beside Wakaba.
"Alzack, keep an eye on things down here for us. We'll be right back!" The two were in the air before he could respond, allowing the breeze to lift them up towards their friend. As they approached the window a pair of voices wafted down from the window. Slowing their accent to a crawl, the pair readied their weapons as they edged up the last few meters. As the distance closed the voices became clearer.
"Come on Sagittarius, why can't we work out the summoning contract later?" As the pair came up to the window Lucy entered their view along with…a man in a horse suit?
"I sincerely apologize Lady Lucy, however I must conform to the rules. Unless you are under immediate and dire distress, the contract must be made before I can complete any tasks for my summoner."
"I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED!"
"While I admit that is most unfortunate, you are not being abused at this moment. I notice they have given you a bucket to do your business in, so they have provided adequately for your immediate needs under the terms of spirit world legislature. That said, I shall gladly do everything in my power to remedy the situation as soon as possible, you do not fit the conditions necessary for immediate action."
"THEY COULD BE BACK IN HERE ANY MINUTE!"
"If they arrive then the exception will come into play and I shall be glad to aide you. But it would likely be more efficient to simply deal with the contract now so that we may avoid the mortal peril altogether."
"…That window is looking pretty good right now."
"Are you sure you're not just talking about the beautiful babe just outside the window Lu?" Cana drawled. Lucy gaped at them, causing Wakaba to snicker so hard that the cloud began to waver beneath them. A quick slap from Cana straightened him out, setting the blonde off into her own fit of giggles as Cana pulled herself into the room. Lucy's laughter turned to an indignant squawk as suddenly Cana was poking and prodding her, searching for injuries.
"Whoa, whoa there Cana, I'm alright! You don't need to worry!"
"Like hell I don't! Those freaks didn't do anything to you did they?"
"…No, I'm fine. They just snagged me off the street in Fiore and tossed me up here." Cana glanced across the room and spotted the jagged remains of a crystal ball. Lucy didn't notice, staring down at the floor as her eyes watered.
"Is that it?"
"Yes... I watched the attack on Phantom happen. I saw what happened to Master and Erza. Jose told me that he was doing all of this because of my father, because I ran away from home. My dad put a bounty for my return up and Phantom Lord got it, they used me as an excuse to attack."
"Oh Lucy" Cana reached out and pulled the girl into a tight hug. "Don't worry Lucy, everyone's alright. We got out in time, even Erza and the Master. Now we just have to get you out of here alright?" She said gently. Lucy gave a slow nod before turning back towards the patiently waiting Sagittarius.
"Head back home for now Sagittarius, I'll call you later on to finish the contract."
"Very well Miss, I'm glad you shall be able to walk free once more and I look forward to working with you in the future." In a flash yellow light he was gone and Cana was moving.
"Alright, first things first. I think we should leave a little surprise behind for them." Reaching into her deck, Cana pulled out a trio of cards that she carefully leaned against the bottom of the door.
"There we go, a nice little booby trap. Open the door and the whole thing goes up. Alright Wakaba, let's get out of here!" With a curt nod the ginger helped both of the girls onto the smoke cloud and began their rapid decent. By the time they reached Alzack, the gun mage had added three new unconscious Phantom mages to the pile of guards. With the flick of another card the mages were bound together into a big heap and the Fairies fled to the woods with laughter on their lips.
"Do you realize what we just did?" Cana asked breathlessly.
"What?"
"We just completed what had to be the Fairy Tail's first ever successful stealth operation."
"So that's why I feel so weird." Wakaba commented, snapping his fingers. "We didn't even blow anything up. It just feels… unnatural."
"Why do you think I left the boom cards?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Alright," Jose said, putting his fingers together and gritting his teeth. "Run that by me one more time." The terrified lackey nodded, gulping loudly before repeating his message.
"Sir, a group of mages from Fairy Tail mages broke into our tower and snuck out with Lucy Heartfillia. They left the explosives behind, so when the room was discovered empty and a few mages went in to investigate they were all injured. After searching the area we found roughly a dozen more guards restrained in the woods besides our building. We have no knowledge on when they broke in or how much of a head start they had. For all we know, they have already rejoined their allies and made it back to Magnolia."
"…"
"…"
"…I'm sorry. It sounded like you just told me the loudest, most destructively idiot, asinine guild in the entirety of Fiore and quite possible the world, managed to sneak into one of most heavily guarded bases and escape with a captive worth several hundred million jewels. Then, on top of that, they disabled my handpicked guards chosen specifically for their skills in defense! And they did all of this without alerting anyone until they were long gone. Correct?"
"Y-yes sir."
"…"
"…"
Jose closed his eyes and sighed. "…It's official. I'm surrounded by incompetent morons. Very well then, I've got a message for you to send for me, are you ready?"
"Sir! Yes Sir!"
"Great. Now…tell the tech boys to ready Jupiter.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
When Lucy and the retrieval team entered Fairy Tail the blonde was suddenly bum rushed by a blur of blue.
"Lucy! I'm so glad that you're okay!" The Celestial mage stared down in surprise at the petite figure that had wrapped around her.
"L-Levy? You're alright!"
"Yeah! My Phoenix Quill finally reformed and sensed my injures! It burned itself out using Phoenix healing magic to get me and the boys back in fighting shape! I won't be able to use it when Phantom comes back, but at least we can fight!"
"You got that right Lev!" Jet cut in.
"Yeah! We won't get caught off guard this time! We'll protect you with our lives!"
"Not this time guys! This time all three of us are going to fight together!" The matching grins on the two men spoke volumes and as one the pair dashed off to prepare. Lucy blinked in surprise at the sudden fire in her normally quiet friend.
"Levy, are you sure you're alright?" She asked softly. As her partners disappeared from her sight, the bluenette's smile fell.
"I wasn't thinking at all in that fight. If I played it smart I might have been able to do something, if not win then at least signal for help. All that training I've done, I thought that I got stronger. But I still messed up."
"Trust me, I know the feeling. But with the way things are right now, I don't think we can afford to let it affect us. We're so out matched here, everybody is going to have to get involved. Everybody is going to get a shot."
"Yeah, you're right. This time it will be different, I promise."
"Yeah! We won't make anyone save us this time!"
"You got it! Now, since you're here can you lend a hand? We need to patch up everyone as much as we can. Plus, Natsu is downstairs with Gray and Happy and I bet they'll be thrilled to see you!"
"That sounds good. Maybe I can check up on Erza and the Master as well?"
"Sorry, Elfman carried them to the woods to ask Porlyusica to take care of them a few hours ago. He came back a bit beat up, but she said she would look after them."
"Can she really help them?"
"She's the best medical mage alive! She'll have the two of them up and going in no time!"
"That's a relief…"
"Yep! Now we just have to wait for Mirajane to finish call the rest of the guild back and everything will be alright! We're Phantom's main rival as the strongest guild for a reason after all! If we get everyone back here, nobody can stop us!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Two teams were across the ocean and couldn't be back for over a week.
One team was trapped in a blizzard.
Another had accidently triggered a previously dormant volcano and couldn't be reached.
Nobody had been able to contact Gildarts since he left on his SSS class mission.
Mystogan had disappeared.
And Laxus…
"I'll come help you…as long as you can get that big breasted Lucy chick to agree to be my woman and if Cana agrees to give me a strip show!"
"THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU LAXUS? YOUR GRANDFATHER IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION AND ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS THAT TINY THING BETWEEN YOU LEGS?"
Well, if you want to negotiate, how about if the two of them along with you and Erza all have to flash your boobs at me? Is that any better?"
"I'LL KILL YOU, YOU ASS!"
"Now now Mira, the barmaid shouldn't lose her temper like that. You're asking me to do this because you've become so useless you can't do it yourself. You should know better than to insult someone when you are asking them for such a huge favor."
"Damn you…"
"See, the way I'm looking at things, this is the culling of ranks that Fairy Tail has needed for a long time. So unless you can offer me some damn good motivation, I'm not lifting a finger to help any of you. If you're looking for a handout, you've come to the wrong place! Good luck Mirajane, if you survive maybe we can try and negotiate for you staying in my guild! Hahaha-!" Mirajane slammed her fist into the communication orb and cut the lightning mage off out of sheer rage. Trembling, the girl desperately went through her options. She really was useless now, a mere fraction of herself. And now if things remained as they were, her baby brother would die for her weakness.
With tears in her eyes the girl revved up the orb on final time. Her voice cracking as the salty drops streamed down her face the girl croaked out her plea.
"Goku…help us."
