Beat has laid in his hospital room for six months, waiting for his adopted family to arrive. Mostly sleeping and not doing much of anything, Beat could move about when not leaving his room, sometimes staring out the window, ashamed that Saiyans and Half-Saiyans don't heal that much faster than Earthlings. Thankfully, his ribcage has healed to the point where surgery isn't required, but he still has massive fractures.
Beat sighs intensely before hearing the door open to see Basaku, Okara, Planta, Forte, and Note.
"Hey, tough guy! How are you doing?" Basaku waved hello to his best friend.
"Everything's going good! The doctors said I should be getting out of the ER in a couple of months!" Beat smiled brightly.
"I bet so. They told us at one point about your ribcage already fixing up!" Forte gives him a friendly yet gentle slap to Beat's head.
"Ya think? I wonder how Seeker is doing, though. He probably isn't aware of what went down at the tournament." Beat said nonchalantly.
"Oh, I saw what happened. You got your ass handed to you." Seeker opens the window and floats into the ER.
"Woah, hey! You know that's illegal, Seeker!" Beat somewhat berated him.
"Yeah, I don't give a crap. Anyway, I just talked with my father, Guitar. And he sent to give a massive warning to all of you." Seeker spoke to everyone, warning everyone of an incoming event.
"A warning? What kind of warning?" Note asked.
"Well, for one thing, this galactic emperor named King Zero has come to this galaxy to conquer it. Unfortunately, all the planets are subjected to his rule. Thankfully, he's not like Frieza, who goes around killing people or his men. If anything, King Zero is a mighty yet paranoid ruler over Universe 7 who seeks to gain as much control of the Universe as possible. Reason being? No order can be established if multiple governments of said Universe interfere." Seeker explains who King Zero is and his occupation as an emperor.
"So this King Zero wants to control every bit of Universe 7, mainly because he sees multiple governments interfering with proper order itself? That's pretty damn deep." Beat retorted, shocked at who King Zero was.
"And to make his rule even more beneficial to himself, he has three sons. They are part of Frieza's Race: Rezok, Froze, and the Frieza Race Berserker, whose name has never been verified. What makes those guys so dangerous is their willingness to do anything to complete their father's orders. I hate to say it, but no one other than us can defeat those guys." Seeker sighed, revealing the existence of King Zero's sons.
"Well, hot damn! Does King Zero truly have three sons?! That will make our problems even harder to deal with..." Basaku groaned.
"Exactly. This is why I want to accompany you on our trip to New Namek. That's where King Zero and his army are headed." Seeker clenches his fist over his homeworld being conquered.
"Well, the only thing is, we need to wait for Beat to heal up first." Okara reminded Seeker.
"Well..." Planta spoke for a moment before handing out a Senzu Bean.
"Hot damn! Did you recently get those?" Beat smiled with pride.
"Yep! And this one is just for you!" Planta feeds him the Senzu Bean.
Beat waits for a moment before feeling his body completely heal. Grinning excitedly, he jumps out of bed, flexes his bandages off his torso, grabs his clothes from his backpack, and puts them on. Note couldn't help but admire how developed Beat's body is, getting a nosebleed from the muscles she sees in him.
"Ah, thank god! Hopefully, we won't use that whole bag of Senzu Beans when we fight King Zero." Beat chuckled.
"We'll get everything ready for our trip to New Namek. We need to get there as soon as possible." Okara walks out of the room.
"Hey, wait up!" Basaku followed his father.
"Look, I understand you want to fight King Zero, but he's far more powerful than you realize." Planta warns the children.
"We're aware..." Forte replied.
"We can't just let him conquer what remains of Universe 7. If anything, he'll target Earth next as well!" Note yelled at Planta.
"Which is why I will follow you if things go south for all of us," Planta replied calmly.
Everyone nodded to each other in agreement. Okara and Planta are the strongest fighters they've got against King Zero. If they fall in battle, there may be no hope for Universe 7...
