    Is this what Ochazuke was on edge about?

    Parsley nodded and, after shifted Ishtar's weight so she could stab her ax into the ground, entered in the code. 121687. Then, she stepped back and awaited with cautious excitement for what was on the other side.

    “Kami, Held she’s fighting Some...giant..what the hell?”
    Held felt his blood run cold at his friends confusion. Today, confusion had brought no pleasant surprises.

    "Focus, Jinzi." Held replied, gritting his teeth as his picked up the pace, rushing through one of the mineshafts.

    He reached a wall, leading to an elevator shaft. It would have taken far too long to summon it from the depths. He kicked through the gate sealing its entrance, before jumping from wall to wall, ascending upwards towards the power signatures.

    "You're a scientist, so give me some observations."

    I just hope it's something he can make sense of, let alone something that I can...Damnit, I should have just stayed on the ship.

    Tasure sighed. The battle against the Doctor had ended too soon for her to be of use... of course, it did give her time to recover her energy, so that was a plus. Now, to more pertinent matters, like the newly-arrived enemy and...

    ...

    ...WHERE THE **** WAS THAT IDIOT SON OF HERS?!.

    Muttering, she closed her eyes and reached out with her senses. Through the kizuna, she could sense him... and he was pretty far away. What in the hell?! He was closer to the docking bay than the damned doctor's room. That... okay, no... no, calm down... there must have been a reason. She'd simply IT to him, punch him in his dumb face, and ask what the hell was up. Putting her fingers to her forehead, her form blurred, and...

    ...she found herself someplace dark, soft, and oddly delicious-smelling. Okay, what had her boy been up to?! And what was that... was that the sound of someone eating!? Trying, in vain, to make her way to the origin of the sound, tasure eventually lost her temper and, with a great burst of energy, obliterated the... whatever the hell she was buried in.

    "Gah, what the hell!?" came her son's voice. He had been knocked against a nearby wall and only now could she see what she'd been buried in. Muffins. Thousands... and thousands... and thousands of delicious muffins.

    "...of all things, I didn't expect this. You missed the damn battle!"

    Totoma blinked. "****, really? Uh... sorr--" He was interrupted by his mother slugging him in the face.

    "More importantly, you didn't say a damn thing about all this delicious food! How thoughtless can you be!?"

    Totoma grinned and held up a small button. "Heh... muffin button."

    Sighing, Tasure grabbed her son. "Put that somewhere safe." Putting her fingers to her forehead again, she locked onto the closest and most familiar energy that was not her idiot son--she believed it was that Nevadian, Held, who was moving at a rather brisk pace. Good enough. Her form and that of Totoma's blurred...

    ...appearing right next to Held, their arrival being heralded by an explosion of the muffin pile they'd been standing in. Tasure growled. "This is ridiculous."

    “Tall, near six meters or so. Pale, vaguely humanoid. I can’t really see anything else. Dash is...oh, well Dash is blasting it and it’s still up. Get here soon!”

    Held, you’ll get there about ten seconds after this message comes through.

    What greeted her wasn't a person or enemy, but a laboratory of some sort.

    She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply. A heavy tremble wracked through her body, nearly causing her to drop Ishtar. She bent down and gently placed the Oni against the wall.

    Again, she breathed in deeply. Her steps were unsteady as she moved toward one of the computers and attempted to access what was on it.

    As she did, her mind was uncharacteristically unfocused and far afield. Millions of light years away.

    Parsley's eyes fluttered opened, unveiling to her a blurred world of indistinguishable shapes and blobs. She tried to reach up to rub them, but found that both her hands were tied down. ??? She jerked her arm up to break through the bonds that kept her restrained, but found that her strength was nearly completely sapped. She barely had enough power to struggle futilely, much less actually bust free. What is going on?! Panic started to settle in. Her heart started racing, her head was throbbing as the possibilities of what was to come ran through her head one after the other, each more horrendous than the previous.

    She remembered fighting the Tuffles after sensing that the four Saiyans she was looking for were nearby. There were missiles, then some gas, then nothing.

    How long had she been unconscious? Where was she? These questions kept repeating in her head incessantly until someone walked inside. “Ah, so you're finally awake. Great; we can begin?”
    Her hands trembled as they struggled to work the keyboard. Damn it, focus!! Now is not the time. The absence of her tail had never been more evident or obvious than it was in that moment, in that place. It took every ounce of strength she had left to keep from breaking down into a panic. Memories that she had successfully shelved thanks to Ishtar were slowly creeping back into her active consciousness.

    She tried to speak, to ask who the woman was and how she thought she could get away with this, but all that came out was a string of incoherent gibberish.

    “Heh. That gaseous concoction you breathed in earlier slowed your “higher” brain function down, so now you sound like the gibbering baboon you really are.” The doctor laughed derisively, a sound that Parsley had never heard directed at herself before.
    Focus. Please focus.

    Dash wails on it, again and again she lands hits and drives the thing back. Just as she tears for another, it seemingly fades into the wall and disappears.

    It suddenly reappears beside the Coldlight from the ceiling. It seems slower, stiffer, having taken damage from Dash it seems to destroy the Coldlight. It raises its hand to strike the ship.

    Extending her hand out, a holographic image appeared, floating above her palm. It was a map of sorts, displaying a universe, from which a massive maelstrom of sorts upended solar systems and destroyed stars and planets.

    "Twelve years ago, a monster appeared on Earth. Growing in power from those it defeated, it eventually became as you see here. The doctor theorizes that, if left unchecked, the beast might soon gain the power needed to tear his way into other universes."

    Closing her hand, the image vanished, "I was the only one who could successfully use our time machine, so I was sent to this time to seek a means to stop it."

"So, the coward finally comes out of hiding," she commented before turning her attention to more important matters.
    A coward? A curious insult considering he had always been rather upfront about his intentions. Glancing to the Doctor, or rather Midori, Rex found his anger deflating at the sight of the brutality she had endured from the others.

    "What a disappointment... I suppose I should thank Charco for distracting me. I would have hated for my first meal to be so... unappetizing..."

    "I sense it ... now." Ishtar muttered, before grunting as she was shifted without warning. Though.

    Huh.

    "... your clothes. Where ... did ..." Ishtar trailed off. This was not the thing to complain about, really. It wasn't as if Parsley did not have a nice body.

    Of course, Sarada might be upset -- to say nothing of Avoca -- if the Oni ever mentioned it aloud.

    "See ... anything good ?" Ishtar managed, instead.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    The sack holds a pair of fine worked leather bracers with a dragon insignia on them, and a silver circlet of a howling wolf. The three items seem incredibly well made and seem to have...power within them.
    Holding the vial between his calloused fingers, Ochazuke turned the green liquid over upon itself. By this time he had become intimately familiar with this essence. It had been the larger portion of the energy swirling about Asha'rah, the core of Evangeline and any number of the emergent neophyte guardians. Stirring within the heart of that burning world, and raising life upon the dead one, cradled upon his neck in a Dark Sphere, a portion of it had rendered to reality the impossible.

    The Power of Creation. The legacy of the Creator passed down to her charge, a mere spark of it to empower an order over the Cosmos itself. Held in the crest of his palm, Ochazuke was captivated by this doubtlessly ill-gained prize.

    For even though the Doctor possessed this, it wasn't enough to slake those mad ambitions, nor power enough to realize the aim of making dominion of time. Little different than our Dragonballs and the madness they inspire among mortal imagination. Shifting in an idle step, a fraction of round-edged glass ground to powder under his heel.

    The lives of seven alternate worlds were once contained in the fragments of these baubles, till the rupture consumed their universes. How many others were just like them, who fought and died for this vain conceit? Even the Creator herself was not above caving to such urges. That's when he remembered an ancient name.

    Inda'ren, the ancestral God of Destruction. The thought of that primal crime Asha'rah had admitted to days ago, and the enigmatic squabbles of Hammer and Genesis flared against his mind. The power of gods was not imparted so easily while they drew breath. How had fallen to the Doctor, harvested, just to fill a tube?

    This is little more than an addict's reserve. The Doctor was no better than that damned Parasite, Ochazuke thought to himself, raising his hand he briefly considered the unconscionable, then ceased. Untethered, it could not be destroyed, all the same he could not leave it here. Just like that long night in Cask, he found he had little recourse but to bear this heinous thing for now. A fixed point in time.

    Next he turned his attention to the little green coin, turning it over in his hand. Plots within plots within plots, laying the thing flat in his palm, he concentrated his insight into finding the source connection.
