"We couldn't track her once she got out to space. The direction she was going looked like it could line up with either Earth or Plant."
Ilago shook his head.
"Sorry, if that doesn't help."

"It's fine."
He says, shrugging.
"I doubt this is the last time we'll see her, at any rate."

"Well, before I go I have one more bit of information to share with you that might help."
He'd stand up and start brushing himself off.
"When I first transformed into a False Super Saiyan, and when I inevitably made it tot he golden haired form for the first time, I didn't want it, but I had to do something, I had to be strong enough. The trigger was my emotions in the moment, but it wasn't granted to me until I needed it."

Maiz looks up as Ilago stands, listening.
"You're saying there's more to it than just having a trigger? That you have to be strong enough to withstand it first?"
He was definitely trying, on that end. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like he was powering up fast enough sometimes.
"Or do you mean it just... has to be the right circumstances? The right kind of situation?"

"In the moment I was overcome with rage, I was about to die anyways, but I didn't care. I needed power, I needed to crush the enemy before me who was so much stronger. They had killed my whole squad and made me watch. I couldn't stand the idea that they were going to get away with it and something in me broke. I don't know what it was or how to properly explain it, but I wasn't thinking about becoming a Super Saiyan to get revenge, I needed to become stronger in that moment."
He'd scratch his head.
"That's honestly the best explanation I can give."

Maiz gets to his feet.
"Anger and a need. That's what it sounds like to me."
He nods, before closing his eyes.
"Give me a second before you go. Just to see if I'm on the right track."
First, Maiz powers up, if only to prepare himself.
He lets his mind drift back to what had happened in the lab. To the fact that such an innocent child had been used in such a horrific way, destined to suffer and die in an attempt to kill his people. How Onyan's brother had been crippled, and how utterly unrepentant that stupid Tuffle had been while taunting them from the floor.
Maiz pushes himself further, hands curling into fists.
If he'd only been faster or stronger, he could have arrived at that lab much earlier, and maybe things could've been different. If he'd taken out the bug men faster, Onyan's brother wouldn't have gotten blasted from behind. If he was there earlier, maybe he could've figured out a way to help Anise to control her power. After all, that was something he figured he knew pretty well. But now it was too late.
His hair bristles, just from anger, and he pushes to try and call out whatever power he might have hidden.
There had to be more there, somewhere. He needed to have more power, in order to stop those Tuffles using children as bombs. There had to be.

Ilago watches.
Maiz can feel something there. A barrier holding back a power within. Calling forth the memory of events could bring him to the door of that power. It wasn't a distant dream, and for a brief moment his aura would even flash into the orange and gold of the False Super Saiyan, though it wasn't maintainable.

Come on...
Even with his best efforts, Maiz can feel it slip out of his grip, and he gasps before falling to his hands and knees, panting.
"...shit."

"Well you got close. Touched something there for a second. I'd say you are on the right path. Just need another push."

"I don't know if I have anything to push with."
He admits, laughing lightly. Kind of came with the territory of being somewhat easygoing.
"I appreciate the help, though."

Ilago would wave a hand.
"Karo asked me to show you. But, turns out you are alright."
He'd pat Maiz on the shoulder and look at the sky kind of annoyed.
"The push will probably find you if you are going to Plant."
Then he'd bend at the knee's and launch into the air, unrestrained and very rough with his flight.

"Well, tell her I said thanks too!"
Maiz calls up after him when he's leaving, though those last words were real ominous.
...
Nah. Everything will be fine.
