"Talking"

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fuck, what do we even do here?

Gray tensed again, his breathing slightly heavy after shoving all his Ki into an attack. As the man effortlessly tossed away one of his strongest attacks, Gray knew he had no choice but to run, even if his body was balking at the idea.

Run, regroup with the squad, then wait until I can eat another fruit. Wait until I can eat a lot of fruits.

When faced with such a hopelessly powerful enemy, that was the only option. Retreat, hide out on the planet for a few days as he ate the fruits stored in his sheath, and then try again.

But in that time, they'll have access to the Tree of Might too. Fuck, whatever, it's out best bet.

Gray also had a secret weapon in the form of the MP vial he'd gotten on Yardrat, which was safely stored in his pod at the moment.

I was waiting until I had a shit-ton of LUK to use it, but if it comes down to it...

Gray didn't want to take the '1 in a million' odds of not dying from taking the vial of MP, but if the situation on Monas was looking doomed anyway, then he might as well risk it. Optimally, he'd have a chance after this mission to pool more points, and then safely pour them into LUK as he wasn't fighting for his life, but life didn't always go as planned.

For now - run.

Gray didn't know exactly how he was going to beat the mission that was looking pretty impossible at the moment, but he knew he couldn't stay here and fight Boros. For now, him, Caulifla, and Tatsumaki needed to run.

"Caulifla, Tatsumaki," Gray breathed out, staring hard at the unaffected Boros, "I'll go get Fubuki. Run, and don't look back-"

"You have failed to interest me, and now you want to leave?" Boros cut him off, looking at Gray blandly, "How foolish. You must grant me at least a bit of entertainment."

The second Boros finished his sentence, he vanished. Gray watched as the man was there one second, and gone the next, as if he'd used [Instant Transmission] himself. Gray knew that wasn't possible, but the man moved far faster than anyone he had ever seen, as it happened faster than a blink - it was as if the man had disappeared from reality before his very eyes.

"GRAH!" But, as Caulifla let out a pained scream, he clearly did not.

"I suppose it's my fault for having any expectations." Gray's eyes went wide as his head snapped over, watching as Caulifla was suddenly missing an arm, and Boros was suddenly holding a large monkey arm above his head casually.

"Run!" Gray shouted again, using [Instant Transmission] to appear in front of Boros even as his Ki reserves were dangerously low.

We can't win, but I can at least stall him a bi-

"Boring," Just as quickly as Gray appeared behind the man, his fist raised to give his allies a chance to run, Boros disappeared again. Gray's fist hit nothing but air, and his gaze snapped up as Boros was now floating in front of Tatsumaki with his fist cocked back.

"BUH!" Tatsumaki's breath was promptly pulled from her chest as a fist slammed into her gut, causing the short woman to hunch over Boros' fist.

"Orochi said you were a powerful hero, but you seem rather pathetic," The man said simply, and before Gray could even blink, Boros was behind Tatsumaki. His fist slammed into the woman's back, and she shot down into the planet below in a blur.
