"Justice... what an amusing concept." Inanna replied, with a chuckle. "Will being shot up by the Sheriff fix the damage done? No. At best, it'll just make Sihn feel better, like he's done his job. At worst, it impacts literally nothing, and no one. After all, how many are alive to recall what happened. How many remember you? Your death would be a singular whisper, in a cacophony of universal wailing."
Leaving that to hang in the air for a moment, she considered the question about wherever or not she was content to leave this Universe sealed... and truthfully?
"No. Among other things. I would meet this... Whis."
Inanna blinked.
"So assuming I achieved my end? Shin would not bring you to justice. No... I'd have you strive." The golden-eyed woman chuckled again. "Strive in a manner far more substantial, and beneficial than a bullet between the eyes. How's that sound, Angelic Hermit?"
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

"...that Saiyan just killed Oggod," one of his contemporaries noted with a mote of disbelief.
"Hmph," grunted the biggest of them. "The fool didn't fight at full power. A mistake I won't make!"
"None of us will. Let us fight this mysterious creature together."
With that, the three remaining lieutenants of Tundra's then dwindling army flew out to meet the incoming Totoma, leaving the lone general behind.
The previously intimidating and awe-inspiring army that had been laying siege to Ruco was steadily being chipped away at, its numbers steadily falling. Seeing Totoma turn Super Saiyan did exactly what he hoped it would, inspiring the other Saiyans to fight even harder than they had before. Not only did their ferocity increase, but their morale did also. Seeing a Super Saiyan fight by their side was a boon that many didn't think they would receive.
The three met Totoma and immediately surrounded him. "Hm. You have more power than we thought a Saiyan capable of generating. But now you face Blanko!"
"Skullos, Lord of the Edge!"
"And Ohknee! You stand no chance against our combined might!!"
Lampton grips the handle, body shimmering and returning to his Angel form once more.
“Lampton thinks he likes your offer. Lampton also thinks you have one more mind to change.”
He nods to behind them. Turning, Sheki’hinah still standing protectively by you, narrows her eyes into the darkness.
“Sihn.”
A moment later, gun drawn though held slightly casually at his side, is the acting Supreme Kai. Inanna will notice that Sihn seems...tired. Older, though the gun remains steady.
“Well, this is not what I thought I’d see. I finally finished hunting Hammer down and thought to tell Sheki’hinah that I had him. Low and behold I teleport to her and here she is, and a name on my very short list now is here too.”
He looks at Inanna with sad eyes.
“Hey kid. Been meaning to talk to you.”

When the Galick Cannon came barreling her way, Avoca was ready. Even though she had been hoping to have at least a little time to prepare herself -- at least a few days or weeks -- for such a trial, she knew that there was no better time than the present.
Everything in her field of view was tinted purple. She clenched her fists and prepared herself for one of two things -- either the overwhelming feeling of being filled beyond her limit, or overwhelming pain. Either way, she felt she was ready.
"Unlimited Eat Works," she said just before the beam was upon her. She opened her mouth, forming a yawning, pitch black hole with no discernible end or bottom in sight. Trying to eat an attack of this magnitude made her realize that she had only eaten small blasts. Generic ones or those energy blades that one elf guy threw at her. Never something like this. It didn't stop. Once it started getting funneled into... wherever her body stored all this shit, it didn't stop. It just kept coming and coming.
Her concentration was starting to slip when she felt a burning in her throat. Oh shit no! Suddenly, the void stopped, exposing her to the full brunt of the remaining cannon. She was flung back, fully engulfed by the attack, and slid violently across the floor.
For a long moment, she remained motionless. She was alive, but moving was a real chore and she wasn't about to do any work right then. "Ugh," she moaned, mostly to let Tasure know she was okay.
She knew exactly why her tech fizzled out. Buffet's body was designed to be able to house nearly unlimited energy. Hers wasn't. While she had been conditioned to hold some, her body just wasn't able to contain that much without burning out. A thing she would rather have learned while training than when it actually mattered.
She tried to move, but nothing was working. Guess that concludes training for the day. Ugh.
"Meaning to talk to me, mm, Uncle? What ever for." Inanna quips, eyes narrowing before simply sighing slowly and offering the man- and his gun- a shrug. "Well, you're here now. May as well out with it. Try to shoot Lampton before I've had my say however, and that'll be the end of the conversation."
Her meaning was plain enough.
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

Sihn eyes her, eyes Lampton and Sheki’hinah, then sighs heavily.
His gun goes back in its holster, and Sihn slumps down by a tree, sitting down.
“Been meaning to...apologize. I never knew Zurvan had...done what he did. Didn’t know he was quite so....cold.”
He pulls a small flask out and takes a sip.
“So let’s talk.”

"Mm, that's the funny thing about it." Inanna replied somewhat distantly. "I doubt Zurvan sees what he's done as anything short of necessary... as much as Asha'rah saw mortals as little more than curiosities. Created purely to stimulate the creativity within Gods and compel them to create bigger and better things... and therein lies the problem." The woman stated, plainly.
"Can't well punish them. They wouldn't understand it. Can't even explain why what they did was wrong. I mean fuck, I tried to with Asha'rah; and all she could manage was digging a grave to defend her faulty beliefs." Inanna continued. "So what's to be done about it, mm?"

Sihn shrugs.
“No clue. We....had an argument, and like you said he didn’t seem to..understand. Regardless, my point still remains: he shouldn’t of done it. And I should have known and stopped him. For that I’m sorry. For whatever that’s worth.”
He closes his eyes , breathes deep, then opens them and stares back at her.
“What brings you and tourneys mother to Lampton, Inanna?”

"What's done is done," Inanna replied simply before answering the reason for coming here.
"Auroc, and ultimately Sakin. He's after Lampton for what he knows of ascension; and I suppose at the end of the day, I am too. As for Mom? She came along to sate her curiosity, and in the end kept me from getting myself killed." The woman smiled. "Par for the course, really."

"Sure do." Inanna said with a sly smile. "Unless you've a good reason why he shouldn't I'd find his help in the weeks and months to come far more beneficial. Plus... now that I think about it. I could've killed him already. If anything, I've several tricks up my sleeve. Gifts to the Ishtar that was, from Uncle Sihn, and Daddy Dearest."
Several more besides, but one needed to know when to hold and fold.

He smirks a bit.
“Wouldn’t be fair to ‘em.”
He stands up and stretches, back popping.
“Just getting old. Not naturally long lived like you lot. Don’t quite seem to bounce back as easy either, and Hammer put me through the ringer. Damn Namekians and their regent and stretchy limbs.”
