Piccolo: *As Goku slipped into a calmness. His breathing is in sync with his resting heartbeat. His ki can't be sensed, and Goku's mere pulse seems to be temporary nonexistent. Piccolo nod his head as he looked at Krillin,* Forming a stable forcefield is up to us. You focus on drawing energy from the volcanoes, I'll focus on the moving star.
Krillin: *He nodded, cracking his knuckles.* Got it. Let's get this show on the road. *Krillin turned his back on the timer so that it can't pose as an distraction.*
Piccolo: *The green man smirked.* Smart. Clock's not gonna help us now.
Then—both warriors raised their hands, channeling raw planetary and cosmic energy into a shimmering, pulsing dome of light. Krillin gritted his teeth—forearms trembling as he siphoned molten heat from the volcanoes beneath them, weaving strands of fire into the barrier. Piccolo, meanwhile, reached outward—his will threading through space itself, pulling strands of radiation from the distant star into the shield. The air hummed—pressure building—until finally... The forcefield snapped into place. A perfect, resonating sphere—glowing gold at its core, laced with crimson veins of volcanic fury and cosmic radiation.
Piccolo: Now, *Piccolo growled,* we wait.
And deep within his meditation—Goku began to move. Within a blink Goku vanished from his place, only to reappear directly beside Vegeta on the moving vessel.
Vegeta: *The prideful Saiyan whipped his head around, eyes flaring in surprise.* Kakerot?! How the hell did you find me?!
Goku: *Goku grinned broadly.* Tell you about it later, but we're literally racing against the clock. Let's go!
Vegeta: *He scowled.* Fine—but this isn't over.
Goku gripped Vegeta's shoulder—And in a flash, they were gone. The forcefield flickered violently—then collapsed—as Goku reappeared with Vegeta beside Piccolo and Krillin. The timer overhead—now dangerously low. 15 Minutes.
Vegeta: *Vegeta's glare could've melted steel.* Explain. Now.
Goku: *Goku grinned weakly.* Uhm... well... we kinda need to teleport everyone back before the planet goes boom?
Vegeta: *Vegeta exhaled sharply—then barked,* Then stop wasting time!
One by one, Goku gathered them—hands on shoulders—and vanished. The last thing they saw before warping away? The volcano's peak—beginning to split apart—And the timer's final seconds ticking away. Goku appeared with Krillin, Piccolo and Vegeta at the battlefield with only one single second on the timer. 00:00:01.
