Zero watches Caffra murder far more messily than he had.
Perhaps he needed to adjust his tactics.
"Orders acknowledged. What areas are most valuable in terms of defense?"

She leaps from her seat from a cross legged position to more on all fours when she felt the energies of the portal and saw Kyber come through.
She wiped away tears on her face and saw the expression on his face.
“No it’s not like that…” she would defend as she stood to her feet crawling out of the head of the snail. “Kyber please understand, this is their choice. They have to learn on their own, that is their decision to live. Eventually a parent can only watch their child go through life and fumble and get hurt but they have to live. This is the stage of Mortals now.”
”Mojo Run!” she yelled the internal voice. She’s got Kyber distracted for the moment.
She would approach Kyber and get close to speak with him face to face.
“What Tuffles did to the Saiyans, what Saiyans did to Tuffles, what Tuffles did to the Indigenous people that lived here… what mythrosians and Saiyans are doing to Tuffles.” She ranted. “These are all choices mortals made and the choices to follow. They can just as easily choose not to. But they must choose on their own. Anything else and we take away the point of living.”

Mojo did hear Nen's warning. And yeah he understood the panic, this guy felt dark and was on a level so far beyond him it wasn't funny. But if he moved suddenly, and if whoever this was (Kyber she said?) Was here for him, he wouldn't get far. So on Nen's warning, he began to silently and slowly, smoothly, drift towards the nearest window. As he did he would reach out telepathically in kind to Nen, very tight beam of telepathy straight to her.
'If he's here for me, I make a sudden move, I'm dead. Plus the moment I leave the less I can help Plant. Have to be quiet, subtle, no attention grabbing. I have options if he goes for me to avoid his grasp, at least for a few seconds. Keep him talking!'
After his words to Nen, Mojo would resume reaching out as far as he could, paying attention to both the state of Plant and what was going on directly in front of him. Admittedly now he was doing less to help Plant, but he was still trying.

"AH! HAHAHAHH! LOS- Wait. What are you doing?"
Harissa was quick to celebrate with her new trident, though her opponent was quite the party pooper. Seeing as she didn't know what was happening Harissa began to panic.
"Uhhh! Please, stop that!"
Without much thinking Harissa aimed to have the trident wack him in the head much like a fly swatter. Following up quickly with the only move she knew had worked in a combat situation. Running full force at the opponent aiming to knock it arms aside.

Jack is able to stab the Saiyan as he is pushed away! The Saiyan grabs at the puncture wound as they are forced apart. Probably not as deep as Jack wanted, but that Saiyan was absolutely done for.
Methyl, Zero and Caffra would get busy in setting up the bases defenses, Zero would find the automated defenses were offline, while Methyl would find the mechanical barricades had been sabotaged. The buttons and levers that were supposed to activate them were either broken or didn't work. Caffra would curse under her breath before turning on her suits communications device to report what she found.
"Any available fourteenth brigade personnel, brigade HQ has been sabotaged and is was the target of an enemy unit... Hello?"
She would shake her head.
"Comms aren't getting through. We need to sweep the base to make sure everything is alright..."
Caffra would pause looking at the Heeter...
"I'm going to temporarily authorize you both to look around and apprehend or eliminate enemy combatants if they are inside the building."
Pocus would in fact bite the head off a very suddenly terrified Rhosian man! Pocus would feel a suddenly burst of magical energy as the head was absorbed into her form increasing the bulk of her body to nearly triple, as well as having hair and an actual hair color. (Pocus has temporarily absorbed The Rhosian Fighter increasing her PL by 450 for the thread.)
As for Harissa swatting the Mythrosian in the head he would lose all focus on his attack putting up his hands to defend himself.
"Wha- Hey! That's!"
He tried to disagree with the way she was using his Trident as he protected his face/head from the odd attack, before feeling his arms battered away from in front of him, feeling danger he would fly upwards quickly!
When Nen spoke of this being a mortals choice Kybers head leaned back and tilted to the side a bit with a large toothy grin crossing his face. When she finished he would chuckle a bit before leaning in.
"Actually... Guardian Nen. This isn't their choice at all. The Guardian of Myria, The Guardian of Arkosia, and soon the Guardian of Terrac will all be behind these particular actions. Bringing together major forces on a grand scale under direct influence. Breaking the Law and Order of the universe."
He would lean back standing once again in an upright position.
"Do you know what happens when the universe's Laws get broken?"

"Take that, asshole! You deserve this!"
Jack cheers, proud of the fact he'd actually managed to BEAT a Saiyan!
This has never happened before.
While celebrating, he kind of looks around, trying to decide how else he can help out. Maybe... maybe he should chase one of the fighters down? He obviously can't stop them from crashing into the planet so far.
So time to go back downwards towards the planet.

Zero takes a moment to interface with the automated defenses, intending on reactivating them remotely. Even if Methyl's controls were broken, hopefully he could bypass whatever physical damage had been done.
Although once Caffra speaks, he suddenly realizes that he probably wasn't supposed to just shoot on sight.
...Except now he's authorized to do so.
"Orders acknowledged. Commencing sweep."
If unable to interface with the base's cameras, Zero would head off in a direction further inside the base.
--------------------
Zero receives upgraded programs, allowing him to connect wirelessly with any other computer's network to view camera's or data, these programs actually increase his processing speed as well,

Her dark complexion lost a lot of color and her body tensed.
“No… that can’t be!” Nen shook her head. “A Guardian can’t forgo such responsibilities for the sake of their world and the lives on them!”
She pondered a moment.
“Are you using those cruel and vile orbs to twist them?” Her voice was panicked at this point.
“Listen… I didn’t know much when accepting this planet for my guardianship. I know I said somethings that are stupid and to your father no less.” She took a deep breath. “Kyber stop this now, reverse what has been done, and let me help you. You have the potential to do and see what we divine beings can’t. You deserve the chance just as much as any of us. Please… before it’s too late.”

At Kyber's words, and Nen's resulting panic, Mojo switched his attention from the warzone developments to scanning the planet and as far as he could with the GMS boosting him. He was specifically tapping into his hybrid True Sense, seeking Ki/Magic/Psionic presence, looking for beings similar in feel to Nen, apparently Kyber, and the brief time he had spent with King Kai and Malum. Other Guardians being involved directly could be a massive problem, for both the Guardians themselves and for Plant, and such a thing needed to be found.
With all this however, Mojo would still keep half his attention on the conversation between Nen and Kyber, watching, seeing if he needed to make a move.

"I'm no expert but these are fuuuuucked." Methyl would say about the buttons, sighing at the discovery.
The more things didn't seem to be going their way, the more Methyl was worrying about being on this planet. Maybe she shoulda left earlier. Maybe she could still get out of h-
Methyl was almost startled out of her abandonment thoughts, grinning awkwardly and nodding.
"On sight. No problem."
She ain't doing it on her own though. The moment Zero starts heading off, she's right behind him. She won't make it by herself, forget it.

Pocus would bulge and change, clenching her hands before giving a loud shriek into the air. She whips around and starts charging back towards the invaders again, not bothering with flight as she ran leaning forward almost unnaturally.
The first invader she sees next is gonna get a foot to the face and a stomp right after. Maybe a couple stomps, actually.

"AHH-NO! Wha!"
She stared with puzzlement at the flying opponent. How did he know how to do that? Scrunching up her face she crossed her arms and shouted.
"COWARD!"
Harissa was quite upset, that was until she remembered that she could fly too!
"AH-HA"
Quickly following she had the trident continue to swat at its previous owner.

Jack would enter orbit and see more landing craft heading towards a combat zone where Harissa, Pocus, and the mystery saiyan woman were fighting!
Zero would find the camera's had all been sabotaged. There was nothing wrong with the bases interface or systems, all the camera's he could access were damaged and inoperable. While the rest of the base looked untouched beyond very specific places being attacked or damaged. Camera's, control panels, nothing random like scorching on a wall or scuffs on the floor. Caffra splits from the group and uses the Tuffle Network to speak to Zero.
"I'm going to check the hanger and armory area's. See if you can get down a level and check the labs and command rooms."
Zero and Methyl would find more of the same as they moved through the building. Any damage it had was targeted with precision, almost surgical. Until they came across a person who had their back to them. They were in the lab mixing chemicals and seeming manic.
Pocus successfully frightens the next person enough that they can barely defend themselves from the kick, but the following stomp spreads blood and brain matter within the cracks of the crater her foot leaves where there head once was.
Harissa swats the Mythrosian a few more times before he seems to get heavily agitated and lets out a roar of energy blasting his aura in every direction like an explosion centered on himself of pure force. (PL: = 1,000)
Kyber stared at Nen for a few moments.
"No, not stupid. Naive. The truly divine, the Gods of Balance, Law, Destruction, Chaos... Angels... The Omni King himself. They don't care about any life or existence. It's all an entertainment to them that could exist or not like a mortal turning the channel of a television show. No, its the Kai who must suffer love. To be so intricately beside life, to care and nurture for it, but to stay at arms length until someone decides they should no longer exist, or have broken some rule the mortals don't even know exist?"
Kyber chuckled.
"Like possibly when the Tuffles nearly invented a device that could control time?"
Mojo could sense something, a psionic presence similar to the GMS just out of his own range, like a person completely obscured by a pitch black room, but you can FEEL them there, staring at you.

Mojo listened carefully to Kyber's words even as he scanned. There were statements there that needed further looking into, but for now were not a priority. What his senses just tripped over, however... That was. Mojo reached out purely psionically to Nen, careful to keep it to a very tight beam of communication telepathically to her, giving her a sense of what and where he found.
'Nen, I think I found who Kyber is referencing. If you reached through the GMS yourself you would likely be able to bypass whatever is keeping them out of my range or senses. But Kyber is still here and a problem.'

She was on the verge of tears again. She would stare into his eyes she searched them. She’d know just enough to have hope for Kyber… but she can’t focus on saving this one boy when she has a whole planet to look after today. While she believes every life can and should be saved. Kyber is one that does not wish it.
“I can see in your eyes… you are not too far gone, it’s not too late for you.” She would say softly. “Maybe if we had more time…”
She saw a bit finally where it was this love that would drive him and the relief in her heart. This wasn’t evil intention… he just wanted to try and bridge the divide. But it’s a divide that she would see needed to remain. Especially if this was the cost.
She could see the dark fog and remembered it was just like with Caffra.
“I see you better now… but the lives you have hurt in the process… I can not sit by and let you continue.”
She inhaled deep before speaking which made up her mind.
“You are a life, but you are also a Divine life… I should hold you as my equal and should see that you to know the responsibility of what that means. I’ll not treat you like a mortal that knows no better anymore because you are obviously aware of the forces you tamper with.” And that was it for her.
She would swallow hard and her mind would aim to reach the heavens with her voice. ”King Kai I need you to tell Larg and his attendant to come swiftly to my lookouts position on Plant if you can.”
May this boy’s father and Kyber himself forgive her for what she aims to do.
And her power would ignite her hands bent to make symbols hoping to send Kyler across the GMS and pin him to the far wall as she’d be repelled by her magic away from wherever she stood. “Mag!”
“If your aim is to keep me here for some reason I see no problem making sure you stay until the Heavenly bodies come to apprehend you.” She would grow a firm scowl as her teeth clenched.
”Can you close the portal Mojo?” she would ask her friend as she would focus all her efforts on this.
-“Mag!” Nen used magnetic manipulation! By making a minus and a plus in hand gestures she can attract things or repel them at will.
