This couldn't be happening.

Everything was falling apart, spiraling out of control, and Shin wasn't having any luck in preventing things from getting worse.

First Kibito, his faithful companion and honestly his rock in the crisis, straight up died. Then the Saiyans he enlisted for help kept ignoring his suggestions, because gods forbid they take the advice of someone with actual experience with the threat, right? Then one of them, Vegeta, gets under Babidi's control and refuses to listen to reason. Even holding a stadium hostage to get what he wanted.

And then when he makes a last ditch effort to keep it from going even more downhill...

Son Goku himself, the man who everyone he asked spoke nothing but positively about, was threatening him. Quietly, but no less clearly.

It had to be a bluff, he reassured himself at first in an attempt to calm his nerves, he wouldn't go this far, would he?

But one peek into his mind... proved him wrong...

Though Earth's hero didn't want to, he was more than willing to unless the Kai stood down.

The fact he could hear the magician mock him nor him feeling the eyes of the prince behind him flick between the two of them didn't even register, the cold dread drowning out everything else. His mind at some point even faded back to that past for a moment before returning to reality.

He stared at Goku as his mind went lightyears a second as he tried to think of what to do. All he could do was consider his options.

If he stood his ground, he would be dead. There was no question about that. He was no match for the warrior in front of him. And if he allowed himself to perish, then the universe was doomed for sure.

... So... as much as it pained him... his only option was...

Shakily, he lowered his arms, weakly muttering his surrender as he stared down at the ground.

He heard the tell tail sounds of the ki blast dispersing as he stepped out between Vegeta and Goku.

"I'm sorry, Supreme Kai."

"... I'm sorry too..."
