Loud alarms echoed through the air as all patrolling and resource-gathering soldiers swiftly returned to base.
Inside the command room of the Frieza, Launch sat coldly in the captain's seat.
"Report the situation immediately."
"An unidentified fleet is rapidly approaching us!"
"Radar scans detect massive energy signatures!"
"Threat level assessment: Danger level S!"
On the large screen in the command room, a space fleet was shown speeding through the cosmos. Operators continuously relayed the gathered intelligence to Launch.
Hearing this, her expression turned grim.
The enemy fleet actually contained multiple high-energy entities, and their threat level had been classified as the highest—S-level!
"Contact the temple immediately and request reinforcements."
"Alert all troops—prepare for battle!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Upon receiving Launch's orders, the soldiers and Red Silk Girls swiftly mobilized.
Throughout the years, Launch had led the Earth's army to countless victories across the stars. Few enemies had ever made her take things so seriously.
She never feared those so-called superior races and advanced civilizations—most of them crumbled the moment a few Frieza Cannons fired upon them. However, she had always been wary of those with overwhelming personal strength.
Not to mention, she had witnessed Yuujin and the others' power firsthand. She still vividly remembered how Broly alone had nearly wiped out her entire legion. And now, this enemy fleet contained multiple individuals of that same caliber!
"Just where did these guys come from…"
Launch muttered under her breath as the enemy fleet drew closer, soon appearing before the expeditionary force.
—
"Greetings, Earth's military."
A figure appeared on the main screen, initiating communication.
"Who are you?"
Launch frowned at the tiny, ugly creature on the screen.
"I am the great Magus Babidi, the leader of this Babidi Legion."
"Hohohohoho…"
The small, unsightly creature responded, letting out an irritating, smug laugh.
"Magus Babidi? Have any of you heard of him?"
Launch raised an eyebrow, glancing at Hothqi and the others, who all shook their heads.
They had never heard of Babidi before. But given his title, he was likely a magic user.
"What? You ignorant fools have never even heard of the great Magus Babidi?"
Babidi's face twisted in anger.
"Hmph, I don't care if you're Babidi or Bibidi."
"Answer me—why are you here? Are you looking to become our enemy?"
Launch's voice turned icy.
Babidi was annoyed. Didn't she just say she didn't know me? Then how does she know my father Bibidi's name?!
But now was not the time to dwell on that. Straightening up, Babidi crossed his arms and spoke arrogantly—
"Launch, leader of Earth's army, I have heard of your exploits."
"You and your forces have conquered large portions of the galaxy and many surrounding star systems. I must admit, you are quite remarkable."
"So, what do you say? Why not submit to me and serve under my command? I, Babidi, am a great magus destined to one day conquer this universe! If you pledge allegiance to me, I will grant you supreme status and honor in my future empire."
His words dripped with arrogance, as if Launch should feel honored to even receive such an offer.
"Conquer the universe? You? A tiny, ugly runt like you?"
"You want me to submit to you? What a joke!"
"Lock onto him with the main cannon—blow him to pieces!"
"Yes, ma'am! Locking on—firing!"
Amused by Babidi's audacity, Launch immediately ordered an attack. The operators sprang into action.
The Frieza's main cannon rose, locked onto Babidi's fleet, and unleashed a devastating energy blast.
"You—you dare attack me?!"
"Bubababa!"
Panicked, Babidi frantically chanted an incantation, erecting a magical barrier around his ship.
The massive energy blast tore through space, triggering a cataclysmic explosion.
Babidi's ship spiraled through the chaos, barely staying intact thanks to the magical shield. However, his subordinates weren't as fortunate—several ships were obliterated instantly, along with their crews.
"AAAAAHHHH!!!"
"What a barbaric woman! Counterattack! Fire back!"
"Yes, Lord Babidi!"
Babidi's enraged roar came through the screen before the transmission abruptly cut off.
No further words were needed.
The battle had begun!

Solar System—Earth—Orange Star High School
Inside a private office, Snake Princess moaned softly, her long legs wrapped tightly around Yuujin's waist as she surrendered to her master's embrace.
"Master… Master…"
"Ahh!!!"
Indulging in pleasure, her seductive cries filled the room. Though she had tried to hold on, in the end, she collapsed in blissful exhaustion.
Smirking, Yuujin sealed her lips with a kiss before carrying her into the adjacent bathroom.
Technically, it was still class time, but feeling bored, Yuujin had decided to visit Snake Princess for some "entertainment."
Yes, an intimate kind of entertainment.
After lingering in the bath for a while, he finally cleaned both of them up and carried her back to the office.
"Master."
Two Red Silk Girls appeared, bowing as they saw Yuujin step out.
"What is it?"
Seating himself on the sofa with Snake Princess in his arms, Yuujin asked.
He had been enjoying a peaceful school life with Gokumi and the others. He had already instructed that unless something urgent happened, he was not to be disturbed.
Their presence meant something important had occurred.
Without answering directly, one of the Red Silk Girls activated her wrist device, projecting Bulma's holographic image—
"Yuujin, we have a situation. Launch's fleet has encountered a powerful enemy and is requesting reinforcements!"
Bulma got straight to the point, her voice tinged with urgency.
"Launch's fleet ran into a powerful enemy?"
Yuujin frowned.
Launch's expeditionary army was not what it used to be. Through countless battles, they had strengthened tremendously. With Mai, Violet, Hothqi, and the later addition of Zanjia, alongside hundreds of Red Silk Girls, few in the universe could pose a serious threat to them.
If Launch was requesting reinforcements, then this enemy was indeed formidable.
"Do we know who the enemy is?"
Yuujin asked.
"Not yet. Launch hasn't sent back more details, but Vegea, Celipa, and Sharuru have already headed to the battlefield."
Bulma responded. Yuujin nodded.
"With Vegea and the others there, it should be fine."
"But keep monitoring the situation. Let me know if new intel comes in."
"Got it. I'll inform you as soon as I get updates."
Bulma replied before ending the call.
"Master, aren't you going to the frontlines?"
Recovering some strength, Snake Princess asked from his embrace.
Gently caressing her flawless face, Yuujin replied—
"Vegea and Sharuru possess power equal to mine. Celipa, as a Super Saiyan 2, is incredibly strong as well. I can't imagine an enemy existing that they can't handle."
"We'll wait and see. If even they can't overcome this threat… then we'll step in."
