“We let Rimuru fly.” you reply, the slime already flying back off. Looking around far more carefully as he does, clearly wary of another attack. And although you can't FEEL your exhaustion, that doesn't mean it isn't present. So, you focus on your breathing, relaxing your body as you wait. In only a few seconds Rimuru reappears, dropping out of the sky and retracting his wings.

“What're we up against?” Chilli asks, the slime looking surprisingly worried.
“They're being jumped. Several of the fighters from the Fourth, I believe.” she says. A guy with bird feet, a tentacle monster, a really big, round one, and... Another one. I couldn't see it, but I could feel its movements in the air. They have a tiny fighter.”
“Like Atom!” Plastic Man speaks up, you all turning to him. Only for him to change his appearance into a suit of blue and red, with a strange symbol on the forehead before shrinking himself tiny, only to resize back to normal. “He can shrink himself down, yet keeps all his strength when shrinking.”

“Yeah, I'd say this guy was no bigger than an ant. But he's decently powerful.” Rimuru continues, you remembering him.
“He's fast. Nearly hit he, while they had that illusion dome up around us.” you reply. “Alright, now that we know what we're up against, let's move. We need to get them out of there, and throw these clowns over the side if we get the chance.”
“Right. Let's move.” Chilli says, the five of you moving as one towards the battle.

Passing through the damaged stage, running through the broken outcroppings of stage you find a relatively flat area hidden from the light by the central pillar, witnessing a bizarre sight. Chaya, as a Super Saiyan has a GIGANTIC, spherical woman rolling herself against her, pushing Chaya back towards the edge. Meloka, meanwhile is seemingly swatting at the air like trying to hit a fly, her eyes darting back and forth as she tracks something. Her energy spread out in her Energy shell, encompassing the area around her while Ginyu is going hand-to-hand with the bird feet guy. But you don't remember him being quite so powerful, he's already around Ginyu's level of power. And in the shadows, arms and you think legs? Whatever they are, they're expanding, her tendrils growing out from her in the dark as she's clearly planning something. Something you all need to stop.
