Shuri, Riri, and I walked into the throne room.  Queen Ramonda and the rest of the tribe leaders turned to us.  M'Baku's eyes narrowed and he abruptly stood, pointing at me.

M'Baku: Equinsu Ocha!

I got nervous, but after a few moments he started laughing and sat down.

M'Baku: I'm joking.  The Princess told me to say that.

I sighed, turning to her.  She and Riri were holding back laughs.

Ramonda: All of you, leave us.  I must speak with my daughter and Riri Williams alone.

M'Baku: You, Saiyan.  I wish to speak with you as well.

I followed him out of the room, and he turned to me.

M'Baku: You fought well, when Thanos invaded.  You gave your life for our nation, and Wakanda thanks you for that.

YN: You don't need to thank me.  I only wish I'd been able to stop him there.

M'Baku: I know that Shuri joined the Ultimates before her brother passed.  I want you to make sure she stays safe.  Queen Ramonda has requested this as well.

YN: Of course.  I'd protect her with my life, same as any of my friends.

M'Baku smirked, pounding my shoulder and walking away.  I headed back towards Shuri's lab, when an explosion shook the palace.  My eyes widened, and I instant Transmissioned outside.  The streets were flooding, and huge geysers of water were erupting from the ground.  Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my back, as something slashed across it.  I cried out in pain, spinning around to see a man hovering behind me, a spear in his hand and tiny wings on his ankles.  I glared at him.

YN: You're Namor.

Namor: Indeed.

He lunged towards me, but he was suddenly sent flying away by a missile.  I turned to see Shuri in a ship, hovering nearby.  I flew underneath it and a hatch opened, letting me in.

Shuri: YN, you're bleeding?

YN: It's just a scratch, I'll be fine.

Shuri: I need you to help evacuate.  Bring them to higher ground.

YN: But Namor is here.  I can defeat him right now.

Shuri: The people are more important-

Suddenly a huge explosion of water detonated right outside of the palace's throne room.  Shuri's eyes widened.

Shuri: Mother!

YN: I've got her.  If I see a chance to take Namor out, I'll take it.

Without waiting for a response, I Instant Transmissioned to Riri and the queen, who were unconscious underwater.  I grabbed them, flying up and bursting through the glass floor, setting them down.  Both began to cough up water and I heard footsteps behind me.

Namor: This is not your home, why meddle in their affairs?

YN: These people are my friends.  And you have no right to be here.

I went Super Saiyan, blasting off the ground and tackling him out the window.  He punched me in the face, but I kept my grip, diving and slamming him into the ground.  He grunted, kicking me off and flying into the air.

Namor: You've made a powerful enemy, Saiyan.

YN: I've made more powerful enemies than you, it's never stopped me.

I held up my hand towards him.

YN: Leave.  And don't come back.

Namor snarled, pointing his spear at me.

Namor: You dare give me orders?

YN: As a matter of fact, I do.  Big Bang Attack!

A massive ball of yellow energy blasted from my hand, engulfing Namor.  He screamed in pain as the blast carried him away, landing in the water.  I sensed his energy speeding away, and sighed.  I flew back to the throne room, wher Riri was helping Queen Ramonda to her feet.

YN: Are you alright?

Ramonda: I will be fine.  Thank you, Leek.

Riri: What happened to Namor?

YN: I ran him off.  But I doubt he's gone for good.

Ramonda: Thank you.  It seems you've saved our country yet again.

YN: Please, it's nothing.  I'm happy to help.

Ramonda: That being said, I would like the both of you to leave.  I appreciate your help, but Wakanda must handle Namor on our own.

YN: Are you sure?

Ramonda: I am.  I will not have Wakanda be seen as helpless by the outside world.

YN: I understand.  But if you end up needing us, the Ultimates are happy to lend a hand.

Queen Ramonda smiled.

Ramonda: Thank you, Leek.

Shuri ran into the room, throwing her arms around her mother.

Shuri: Mother!  Are you alright?

Ramonda: I am fine, Shuri.  I have asked Leek and Ms. Williams to go home.  We must handle this on our own.

Shuri: I see.  It was good to see you both again.

YN: You too.  Stay safe Shuri.

She gave both Riri and I a hug, and Riri put her hand on my shoulder.

Shuri: Heh.  Equinsu Ocha.

YN: Shut it.

She laughed as Riri and I Instant Transmissioned back to New York.
