The team got a new addition to them after gaining support from Shard and Flake who came to collect the remains and sorted out the rest.
The team was complimented on a job well done and were informed that there would be more danger ahead so they needed to be ready for it.
Meanwhile, in another location, the trio who had been away from Earth had returned and headed to their headquarters.
Some things seemed familiar to Hogan and Rayne yet it all seemed so different.
The power structure had changed and many who held power before had lost their positions to more capable and powerful people.
Lexi led them to the office that should belong to Hogan yet when they got there, they were stopped before entering and were made to wait around.
A male voice came from within. "I was informed of your arrival. Come in."
Hogan pushed the door open and saw a man with pink and black spiked hair and black eyes dressed in a combat uniform. "What are you doing at my desk?!"
The man had been one among many who had access to serums that let them gain the genetics of races outside of Earth and he was part Saiyan due to that which put him far above the likes of the mutants of the earlier stages and many others. "Calm down now. You guys may have been gone raising your power for what is to come but do you think that you can come back and take back everything we have been building and maintaining for you?"
An arrogant look appeared on his face. "Step back mage and learn your place."
He released his powerful aura and it caused Hogan to be pushed to his knees. "Ugh.."
Lexi and Rayne stepped forward as if to block the aura. "Enough."
The man showed surprise. "I thought you would be a useful pawn in this war to be made use of but it seems you might prove to be more than that."
Lexi had reminded Rayne earlier to not make too many enemies in her present state so she suppressed her anger. "I apologize. We have returned and wish to get to work right away sir."
The man grinned. "Call me Director Beet. Give me a moment and I will get you a task."
