"I guessed as much from day one" you tell 18. "The situation felt similar. And since it was mainly the support of my family and friends that got me here, I wanted to try and do the same for you and your brother. I hope I've been even half successful."

18 gives you a warm smile. "You have. You've been a great friend to both of us, thank you."

Should we try digging deep? Pulling out just enough energy to really push our limits, but not enough to wreck ourselves like the ascended kaioken did?

>>29752671
>>29752718
>>29752729
"Good to hear" you tell her.

She says goodbye and lets you get back to training. You continue trying to master Super Saiyan 2, and find yourself feeling more satisfied about things in general while doing so. Unfortunately, you still find the form frustratingly impossible to master despite your best efforts. You can't keep focused or in the right state of mind, and your body wears out after a while. You fall back in exhaustion once again, only this time, you don't see anybody looking down at you when you do so.

Drop back to SSJ1, and dig deep from there. Keep digging until it starts to hurt.

Hopefully the much calmer state will allow us to improve our ki flow more easily.

The last thread established that we're at the point of diminishing returns for that form of training: we're just too used to it.

I'd at least want to try >>29752848 before giving up on improving our ki, and out of character ki training IS the path to SSJ3, because SSJ2 is basically described as 100% utilization of physical abilities.

>>29753009

Because doing this at SSJ2 isn't working at all, and using words like "impossible" isn't promising.

You drop into your normal Super Saiyan form, then dig deep like you used to. You feel your power level increase somewhat, and you keep digging, and digging, and digging, to the point where you start to become dizzy, and your vision becomes blurry.

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

>>29753188

Hold there until it feels like we're going to pass out, then slowly reduce the amount of energy we're drawing.

This operates on the same logic that lifters use: push up hard, and let it down slow and smooth. Increases our peak force, and increases our ability to sustain at or near peak.

>>29753188
>B Keep going further and further
What's happening is that when goku was dead, the strain of SSJ2 is diminished so he could go further and further without getting exhausted and eventually he pushed so hard he went SSJ3

So we can't go super saiyan 3 without a way to diminish the strain of super saiyan 2

>>29753188
Lets try this>>29753244

>>29753244
this

>>29753410
>>29753361
>>29753244
You hold the level of power you are currently at until you feel ready to pass out, then you slowly reduce the amount of energy that you draw. It gets smaller, and smaller, until eventually you stop digging and simply fall back in exhaustion.

"It this just part of your daily routine?" 18 asks as she walks by.

"Why, was the spike really that small?"

"No, it was a significant power difference" she tells you. "But it was weaker than your ascended Super Saiyan or triple Kaio-Ken Super Saiyan."

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

"You mind if I bug you with my thought process for a moment?"

"Physical training is reaching a point of diminishing returns, so I've been working with ascended super saiyan to draw greater amounts of ki. But that form is unstable: I can barely control it as it is. So I tried dropping back into regular super saiyan, but using an alternate method for accessing my ki reserves: one that unlike kaioken, seems to be an innate ability."

"Two things. First, I suppose you could call this innate ability the "hard way": my body is used to physical strain, and is even getting used to the kaioken transformation. But pulling out energy without transforming is something I stopped doing years ago due to the apparent superiority of the kaioken at accomplishing the same thing. So in terms of straining my body, it's more novel."

"Second, in the long term, I felt my own ki reserves when I tried using kaioken in ascended super saiyan. There's more ki there than I ever thought possible, and accessing it is going to be the next step forward. I can feel it, I just haven't found a way to get it yet."

>B
Try digging deep in ssj2, similar to the way we did it in ssj1, without trying to meditate. Just accept the fact that aggression is a thing we'll have to deal with for now.

She stares at you for a moment. "Well, good luck." She turns and continues her walk, leaving you alone.

You proceed to transform into Super Saiyan 2 despite your exhaustion, and then try to dig deep once again. Immediately your body flares in agony, your muscles and insides screaming at you to stop.

>A. Stop

You hold the power you are at briefly, just as before, and then slowly let it return to normal, this time, when you collapse in exhaustion, you also lose consciousness.

You wake up sometime later, once more at the Lookout, to find Salta sitting next to your bed, leaning back with her eyes closed.

"You're already the most powerful Saiyan in the Universe" she tells you. "Maybe you're just nearing the peak of your power."

"Do you have a scouter?" you ask. "What's my power level at?"

She takes a moment to scan you. "Thirty eight million" she tells you.

>A. Say something

Sigh.
"That means I'd be well above 16 at my peak. The only question is whether I can maintain the super kaioken long enough to put it to use."

"With your permission, I'd like to be stupid one more time. Then I'll kill 16, and we'll fix everything he's done while I was too weak to stop him."

>>29755444
Combine that with being a super saiyan at kaioken times three... 5.7 billion. Stronger than 16 by a small degree. Relying on kaioken is always risky and consumes sensu beans, though. How's Vegeta fared in his training?

"Or we could go with 17's plan" Salta suggests.

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

>>29755529
We were about 200 million above 18 (about a 6% difference), and she could basically tank us, because the Androids don't tire. Right now, we'd only be 14% stronger than 16.

I'm not quite comfortable that we could pull it off just yet, because we may well tire out before we can beat him to death.

"I've been unconscious, what's 17's plan?" you ask. "Does it involve ganging up on 16?"

"No, though we'd do that before we let you fight alone" she replies.

"Idiot, remember?" you ask.

She sighs. "I'll say. 17 told me you found out they had remotes at that lab that could set off the bombs in his and 18's chests. Well, based on the schematics we found, 16 probably has a bomb in his chest. So, why not just go to the lab, grab a remote, and blow 16 up in about ten seconds?"

>A. Say something

>>29755749

>A. Sure, we don't have anything to lose by trying that.

>>29755749

"I'm familiar with those remotes. You need to be close enough for it to work, and as 17 and 18 proved themselves, you'd need to be fast enough for him to not simply snatch it from you."

"And if it turns out he doesn't have one... humanity has a word for what they'd be, and that word is 'boned'."

>>29755749
I learned in the red ribbon base that those bombs can only be activated at close range. If the one in 16's chest is strong enough to kill him, it would probably be a suicide mission.

>>29755749
"Okay, sounds like a plan. But one question: did 17 get around to removing his bomb? Cause I don't want to end up using the wrong remote and blow him up."

>>29755826

"And if it turns out he doesn't have a bomb, humanity has a special word for whoever we'd be sending - boned."

You travel to the right, just as you did last time. Moving down the long hallway, you soon come to the door Fita destroyed. Stepping through the empty doorway, you find yourself in the lab. At the other side of the room is another broken door. A scientist lies dead at his desk, and a surgical table has dried blood, likely from 18.

>>29759573
>>29759526

You decide to search the desk drawers, where you remember seeing the device in the scientist's thoughts. Searching, you quickly find a small remote with a single button. You take it and decide what to do next.

>A. Leave before something goes wrong, back to the Lookout!

It might activate any of the andriods, if they're close enough. We just need to use this near 16 and not 17.

"Well, I have *A* remote. Turns out nobody ever bothered to label the damn things, so I'm not sure who it would do in."

"Where's Bulma at?"

>>29760029
Personally I think we haven't been trying hard/long enough to master SSJ2. Maybe Somnius doesn't want/need us to try mastering it right now, but fpSSJ2 is just so much more emotional and raw than 1 it's going to take a lot more work. It is worth pursuing at the appropriate time.

"Well, I have *A* remote" you tell her. "Turns out nobody ever bothered to label the damn things, so I'm not sure who it would do in. Where's Bulma?"

She smiles and leads you down the hall and outdoors. In the distance, you see Spina playing fetch with Fluffy. Bulma is lying in the grass not too far away, staring up at the sky. She glances over as the two of you approach.

"Hey" she greets. "What's up?"

"I have something for you to take a look at: it's a remote for an android. It MIGHT be 17's, or it might work for all of them. It might turn them off, or blow them up. I really don't know" you tell her.

"Wait, so you read the guy's mind to find out about this, but you don't even know what it does?" Bulma asks.

You shrug and hand it to her. "I'll grab a few scouters, and take 17 and 18 down to the Lookout if either of them are still up here. While I'm gone, I'd like you to take a look at the thing. See if you can figure out what it will do to who."

She nods. "Alright. 17 and 18 just went back to the Lookout, actually."

She nods "True."

You tell Fita you'll see her later and return to the building, searching for a scouter. You find none, and Salta informs you that all the extras were in Capsule Corp when it was destroyed. You proceed to travel to Kami's Lookout, where you sense 17 and 18 inside the main building.

c'mon Som

>>29761786
We can sense their minds, I think

>>29761837
We can indeed, unless they're full machine.
>>29761576
And so we couldn't snag one from someone who's staying on Mars?

You go into the building and search for them, eventually managing to locate them sparring together in the black room. They stop mid attack as you enter and float down to the ground, approaching you.

"I found a remote of some sort down there" you tell them. "I left it with Bulma so she can figure out if it's what we need. Why are you two down here?"

"Training, of course" 17 tells you.

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

>>29762329
>A Can I join in? promise I won't be too much of a bother
>B Do our regular routine, go SSJ and start digging deep

>>29762329
You know, I don't think your power level has increased since I met you. Is it hard to raise for you androids?

>>29762363
This, but digging deep is not an effective way to increase our power level. We should just go SSJ2. Since we'd have a small power advantage, it should be two against one.

>>29762329
Does either of them have a scouter?

>>29762329
this>>29762363
and this dialogue>>29762447

>>29762447
That wouldn't be sparring. Digging deep in SSJ2 is its own training regimen because it's so harsh on our system. We got a 3 million base increase last time we did it.

We should only do this if either 17 or 18 has a scouter with them, otherwise it leaves us vulnerable.

We should challenge them to a game of strength-endurance. Maybe power up to SSJ2 and take them on in wrestling, where they can tag team and we are by ourselves. We basically have to out-last their tag-team in our SSJ2 form without falling out of SSJ2.
THis will give us some competitive motivation to withstand SSJ2 for longer amounts of time.

>>29762363
"Can I join in?" you ask. "I promise I won't be too much of a bother."

"Actually, we wanted to ask you about that" 18 says.

"In that "Ascended Super Saiyan" form of yours, you might be able to put up a fight against both of us at once" 17 says.

"So, how about it tough guy?" 18 asks.

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

>>29762589

"Well, let's make it interesting" you suggest. "If I win, you two buy me a HETAP. If you win, I buy two for each of you. Sound fair?"

"Sounds more like you're extremely overconfident" 17 comments, smirking.

"Don't go all Vegeta on us now" 18 teases as her and 17 remove their scouters and place them outside of the room.

They return and stand side by side in front of you, smirking.

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

>>29762777

"Actually, let me hang onto one of those scouters. As much fun as this sounds, there's still the firecrotch to keep track of. I could probably set it to a proximity warning."

"Also, I'm a little tall to be Vegeta, don't you think?"

>>29762901
Bahahaha! Fucking hell anon thats great.
Seconding


>>29762833
...that is glorious. And so damn tempting.

>>29762959

>>29762959

"Actually, let me hold onto one of those scouters and set up a proximity alarm or something in case firecrotch shows up" you say.

"Kami is watching, he'll let us know if 16 is coming" 18 assures you.

You nod and transform, first into a Super Saiyan, then ascending, your aura becoming a swirling golden maelstrom of power, your muscles expanding, lighting flashing around you, and your power skyrocketing.

"I'm a little tall to be Vegeta, don't you think?" you ask.

"Not once we've knocked you on your ass" 17 comments before he and 18 vanish.

>A. Get into a defensive stance

>B. Move around

>C. Flashbang afterimage

>D. Something else

>>29763096
>C
>C

Literally, do it twice in a row. One will likely attack us first, and the other will attack us second.

>>29763131
Good plan

>>29763131
Specifically, it might be nice to hit whoever attacks us second into whoever attacks us first.

>>29763131
>>29763193
>>29763311

18 appears to your left and begins firing energy blasts, only to hit a flashbang afterimage. She apparently expected this and averts her eyes, firing when you reappear, only to hit another. When you reappear this time, 17 suddenly appears behind you and delivers a kick to the back of your neck that sends you crashing to the floor. You get to your feet quickly and turn just in time to see the pair of them begin to fire a volley of energy blasts at you.

>A. Dodge

>B. Block

>C. Deflect

>D. Something else

>>29763340
>D
Copy Bardock's technique to counter the energy blasts.

>>29763340
Bring up Ki Armor, then blast it outward in a sphere to catch the blasts, then deflect the strays.

>>29763340
>D
Ki Armor it up
and I like that idea>>29763389

>>29763374
Describe what that is?

>>29763340
Somnius... I just realised, with Nappa's overall charm and confidence, and dashing good looks, why hasn't he got an earthling girlfriend yet? I want Nappa to have a Nappa Jr.

>>29763389
This

>>29763500
Nappa considered taking over the earth in the anime and having lots of half-saiyan kids after seeing gohan fight in the anime.

>"Nappa briefly suggests merely taking over Earth so that they may mate with its inhabitants and produce a race of powerful half-breed Saiyans, who may eventually become Super Saiyans and re-establish Saiyan dominance in the universe"

Nappa should be trying even harder than us to get a harem.

>>29763466
He releases multiple energy blasts from his body and they fly at the target. Having a cloud of blasts would be useful in this scenario.

>>29763500
>>29763560
>yfw Nappa already has 38 hidden wives and lots of half-saiyans being trained in secret

>>29763560
That would just make him a tryhard AND a weakling.

Seriously, several of our older children could murder him.

>>29763597
excellent!

>>29763574
and yes, we could just send out as many blasts of equal power to counter each of their blasts.

>>29763597
At last update Nappa was weaker than Raditz.

Let that sink in for a moment.

You use your Ki Armor, and blast the energy outwards. It collides with the incoming blasts, causing them to explode before they ever reach you. 17 drops to the ground in front of you and fires an energy wave.

>A. Dodge

>B. Block

>C. Deflect

>D. Something else

>>29763657
>D
Teleport behind 17, leave an afterimage, and hit 18 into her brother's back when she predictably tries to catch us attacking 17.

>>29763657

D. IT behind him, leg sweep and then punt.

and then quickly afterimage and watch and get in defensive stance so his sister doesn't deck us

>>29763727
This

>>29763657
C. Try to deflect it at 18 with our hands ki armored, then mouth blast him if it works and he gets distracted by that.

>>29763727

This is the better one.

>>29763756
>>29763744
>>29763727
You use your Instant Transmission to teleport behind 17 and leave an afterimage. He spins and strikes at it, only to be temporarily blinded. 18 appears next to you and delivers an open palmed strike that sends you flying sideways into the nearest wall. 17 then appears in front of you and pulls back his fist to punch.

>A. Block

>B. Counter

>C. Dodge

>D. Something else

>>29763815
>D
Can we use Ki strands to grab his fist and throw him into 18?

At the very last second, you dodge his punch. Gathering ki armor around your head, you proceed to headbutt 17. He grunts in pain and holds his head while he delivers a kick to the side of yours that sends you flying away from him. 18 suddenly appears and delivers a two handed downward strike that sends you plummeting towards the ground. 17 appears below you and fires an energy blast upwards. It strikes you full force and crashes you into the ceiling, continuing to push you against it. 18 appears next to 17, smirking up at you.

>>29764175
this is probably the smartest move so i'm voting for this one

>>29764518
Because they don't think of strands as being as dangerous as much as being a rope.
