She couldn't transform... She couldn't transform!
The creature had been siphoning their power all this time. Parsley couldn't use Super Saiyan unless this creature allowed her to. She could also see that it had such control over them that they couldn't power up unless she allowed it. No, goddamn it!
'The creature has been draining our energy. We can't power up unless she allows it,' she said telepathically to Inanna.
Her eyes cut from the creature to the void lens that just opened up near them. No... If that creature managed to get through that void and to Earth, it could drain the humans of their energy. For what? She didn't know, but she did know it needed to be stopped. But there was nothing she could do. Her body was acting as if nothing was amiss, and her power had been stolen from her.
Damn it. If I can get to my sword, I can deal with this right here and now, but I can't.
"Excellent. An instant ride home, very nice."
'She opened a Void Lens to Earth.'
Parsley exerted as much control over her body as she had left. Can she walk toward the shadow?
Everything all at once.
'Kay.'
Inanna turned, before saying tersely. "Genuinely not attempting to change the subject... but it seems Totoma is not himself, and is attempting to escape."
'Kay.''She opened a Void Lens to Earth.'
Parsley exerted as much control over her body as she had left. Can she walk toward the shadow?
A burst of Ruination strikes 'Totoma' in the leg.
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

Parsley mentally let out a sigh. Inanna must have been out of the creature's range, which meant the others were as well. If they could distract her, perhaps its control over her body would lapse and she could launch a more direct assault that didn't involve further destroying Totoma's body.
"What?"
Sarada blinked as she try to register what she had been just told. She had just spoken with Totoma. She noticed something was off about him, but she just assumed that he was still recovering from nearly being killed. She noticed he never responded when she spoke to him about her plan to recover before they set off for the homeworld, but...
Fuck.
Godddamn it!
"Shit, now what?!" She powered up and floated upward. "Is he possessed or something? Under some kind of spell by one of those Ulthan assholes?"
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

Totoma’s leg would have been destroyed utterly.
If it hadn’t been listening to Parsley’s thoughts and knew something was coming.
The afterimage is ripped apart even as Parsley, unable to move, watches as Totoma appears in front of her.
Smirking he leans down and lays a gentle kiss on her cheek.
“What interesting friends you have. And your magic tastes....delicious. Unfortunately, I prefer them...younger.”
He leans back and storm clouds gather overhead. He glances at the hypnotized Praxat and jerks his head, sending her flying into Dash.
Shadows subsume Totoma and he vanishes.

"Bad keeps turning into worse it looks like," Sasheem stated, chowing down on a muffin. In honor of Totoma, who was not quite him. Or, perhaps just a happy coincidence. Either way, Sasheem appeared in no hurry to save him. In fact, he took a few more bites and asked, "Hey, can we kill him? ...Again?"
Corpse? Sword? What the fuck was going on?
Sarada still felt, even after all that shit, that she was being kept in the dark. By her own sister, no less. "What sword? I don't know... she just has an ax, I thought."
She growled and rocketed through the air as fast as she could to where she sensed Parsley. We really need to have a 'clear the air' session. Again. Damn them!
Parsley was helpless as "Totoma" pressed his gross lips on her cheek. There was nothing she could do to stop him from escaping. How? How did it know Inanna's attack was coming. It shouldn't have been possible... unless...
He knew it the same way he knew that the real Totoma met up with Rutaba in Otherworld. The creature read her thoughts. It was gone. She could track it easily enough, but dealing with it was going to be an issue for her. The others, on the other hand, had plenty of ways of containing it. From that point, it was a simple matter of wielding her new sword to destroy this creature for daring to embrace her in such an ugly and disgusting way.
With it gone, however, its control over her should have dissipated. She tried to move her body. Her arm lifted from her own volition. She sighed and opened up a capsule and pulled out her new sword. Its teal blade glimmered in the moon light. "Damn that creature," she hissed.
She floated upward and scanned the planet for Totoma's energy.

OOC: ....man, Kevi should've just kept on the down-low until she could escape to Earth and start up that orphanage/all-you-can-eat buffet she always wanted.
Instead, she picked a fight with a group that includes Ochazuke. lol
The poster formerly known as Daiyoukai Ramza.
"Literally just got it, the sword." Inanna replied with a sigh; but of course, Sarada had already rocketed off.
Of course, then she saw something that gave her pause.
Inanna squinted. "Maybe it is still Totoma... about as dumb, this one."
