“What did I miss?” you ask her aloud, your wife's grip tightening around you. And immediately you're worried. “Mel, what happened? Talk to me.”

She pulls back, looking into your eyes as tears start to form.

“Dreadzone was attacked. Chaya and Tanya left to defend it, but...” she says, a knot forming in your stomach. You're immediately worried, then furious. The Berserker Soul roars inside you in fury, your Berserker God aura blazing furiously in response to your anger. Shattering the tiles beneath your feet, causing the entire Lookout to tremble at your rage growing by the second. And feeling your rage, Meloka grabs your head in both hands, headbutting your forehead as she flashes up to her evolved form hard enough to stagger you back. Snapping you out of it, focusing back on her.

“Khh!” you seethe through clenched teeth at the sudden shock, but your wife doesn't let go of your face. Staring into your eyes.
“Chaya won, those yellow ring-wielding bastards were slaughtered. But she was left in critical condition. I only found out what happened when Caulifla told me, asking me to bring Maz and Kayle to her to help heal the others.” she tells you, you wondering just what sort of battle you missed. “They're still over at Dreadzone, healing those they can.”

“What the hell? Was it revenge for what we did there, to that one guy, what was his name?” you reply, Meloka shaking her head.
“I don't know.” she answers. “Whatever it was, they clearly didn't get it. Unless it was their own deaths.”
“Perhaps the ring? The one that Tanya girl now wields?” Kars interjects, stepping into the conversation. “She wields the ring of the leader of the Sinestro Corps, perhaps that is what they were seeking? If they sought revenge against Sinestro's killers, they would have come to New Salda, and done battle with you there. After all, most of the universe now know where you all live.”

“While New Salda's location isn't a secret, like say Namek's, no invading force since the Saiyans captured it from the natives has been successful in taking it. Would be a fool's errand to attack directly.” Freeza says thoughtfully. But, as he thinks you see the three earthlings approach Mr. Popo and begin speaking, unable to overhear their conversation from here.
