IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN

>>38680722
This quest really went to shit.

So I've got an idea and it's probably crazy but hear me out on this. What if we unlocked Bulma's and Dr. Brief's ki and ki sense and let them do experiments and research with it? Then they can write a book on their finding and this rather esoteric knowledge to the public light.

And then during the 7 years of peace after Cell, we get Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and Chaotzu to resurrect the Turtle and Crane schools and start teaching people about ki-enhanced martial arts.

What do you guys think?

"Can I see Gero's journals?" you ask.

Bulma nods slowly. "Yes, but I should probably warn you, some of the stuff in there is, well, it's pretty disturbing."

She walks over to a nearby table and grabs some journals, walking over and handing them to you. Looking at the covers, you see one titled "Artificial Human Program" and the other titled "The Cell Project".

"Any chance I could get that fruit back?" you ask.

"Yeah, I'll get it for you before you leave," Bulma tells you.

"Android Sixteen is living on my farm," you inform her. "Should I bring him in? Do you think that you could upgrade him?"

She frowns. "I don't know about upgrades, but bringing him in might be a good idea. I was doing some reading, and Gero planted explosive devices in every Android starting with number eight. We might want to remove that, or it could be bad."

this.
we're gonna start augmenting ourselves with android tech in the time after cell.

>>38680858
I'd think an entire army would be overkill, but unlocking a division of marines into Superhumans during the 7 year gap would work pretty well as a tactical first response unit.

Hell, they could even come join us when we assault Babidi's ship.

>>38680924
We actually planted the idea in him years ago, so he might even try to do it earlier, or since we've studied with him so much... help him with the research later. Though, I think we've decided Kaguya's civvie job will be as a master chef.

>>38680973
there is no overkill. only firing and reloading.

>>38680961
We bother? It'd weaken us substantially.

>>38681012
better sensors and wider light spectrum vision. Endless Stamina. Absorbing enemy ki attacks. these are just a few already existing tech that are better than what we have.

>>38681079
I'm pretty sure that would cost us our super human abilities.

>>38680973
>>38680858

Dralo said that co-operating with the government and basically making a super human special ops, X Com like group would be feasible. Army? Highly unlikely. Regardless, it'd mean like a secondary group of Z fighters, which would be neat.

>>38681089
I'm gonna need a QM ruling on that. just replacing our eyes with better ones shouldn't tamper with our humanity but rule 0 and all that.

>>38681079
Lose superhuman abilities, Lose our main strength, stagnate. No thanks. Hell right now we could break the absorbers on 19 and 20 from overload.

>>38681149
>>38681136
>>38681079
>>38681012
>>38680961
I'd only vote for Kaguya becoming a cyborg if he got beaten so badly he lost limbs and shit. Like, Metal Kaguya could be cool, but only if absolutely necessary.

Can we give the absorbers to 16 for training? What about help make our own robots?

>>38681212
assembly line of super 13s? hell yeah.

>>38681136
You better not be that same annoying anon that named fagged in the first thread.

>>38681212
I vote for this. He doesn't want to fight, but I think he'd accept upgrades like that with the knowledge that he might have too.

>>38681194
I'm against cyborg Kaguya personally, but I'm all for trying to uplift humanity and making special division in the world army for superhumans to help with containment, evacuation of civvies and holding the line in case of any super powerful threats.

>>38681255
and thus humanity became the new Saiyans.

"Why would Gero put bombs in his Androids?" you ask.

"It was a failsafe if they went rogue, or a last resort if they encountered an opponent they couldn't beat," Bulma explains.

"Does Cell have one too?" you ask.

"I'm not sure, but I wouldn't doubt it," Bulma answers.

"Did Seventeen and Eighteen have explosives?" you ask. "They were cyborgs, not Androids."

She nods. "Yes, Gero planted explosive devices in them."

"I think I'm going to go find Goku," you tell her. "Could I have that fruit?"

"Yeah, I'll go get it. Wait here," Bulma instructs before leaving the room.

While you wait, you look down at the two journals in your hand, one about the Androids, one about Cell.

Once the Super Android 13 is mass produced, we'll put an end to the Plant Trade Organization in no time!

Hence, I'm saying only if we'd be a gimp without them. I don't want cyborg kaguya. According to >>38681105 dralo okay-ed the sort of thing you're talking about as something we can eventually do. I think I actually saw that in the Ask FM.

So what does everyone think about tuning the scientists at Capsule Corp into their ki sense so they can experiment with and perform research on it? Good idea or bad idea?

>>38681446
good idea.

>>38681379
>>38681430
And then Kaguya had a 948th Grade reading level. Chichi would be proud.

>>38681446

I can see Kaguya being more interested in the fields of space travel and advancement since of all the different planets he has been both in the real world and Pendulum Room

>>38681007
fuck that job automatisation and robotics is where it's at.

>>38681517
Perhaps. I was just going off of what people were saying in one of the older threads about how that'd make sense with his background as a farmer.

Congratulations Dralo, with this there are as many threads of DBZ Human Quest as there are episodes of Dragon Ball Kai.

Hey guys I just had a weird idea.
You know how 17 and 18 had mechanical thingies that constantly gave them energy?
What if we installed one of those in an asteroid and grew a tree of might on it? We would get more fruit and not have to worry about it disturbing anyone else s lives or planets.

>>38681562
Thats more of a Nappa side project that Kaguya helps him with later on in the years of peace after the Cell Games

With all the talk of mass producing robots and training earth special forces....

I'm expecting Revival of F to turn into a flat out war between Earth's forces and combined might of Freiza's and Cooler's army.

>>38681577
Anon if that works you should be given a fucking medal.

>>38681297

>>38681577
>>38681608
Except you'd have to probably murder 18 or 17 to do it.

>>38681605
Cooler hates us but tolerates us, he is our Freeza Vegeta

>>38681605
Oh god, that could be the big finale of the quest. Think of the awesome fight that would ensue!

>>38681577
Why settle for an asteroid? Put it on the moon or a barren planet like Mars.

>>38681636
Why? We have their production notes, Bulma and Dr. Briefs should be able to reverse engineer it if they put their minds to it.

>>38681636
we have the blueprints for both 18 and 17. we don't need to kill shit.

>>38681563
Wow, really?

>>38681577
That sounds amazing. We could just have Broly stand on it.

>>38681636
Says who? We have Gero's journal and research papers remember?

>>38681636
Or have Bulma study the tech? I mean it's not hard concepts and she's as smart as or smarter than Gero. And there will be other android we could salvage after a fight if she can't study them right. Besides we have Gero's research easy to make more.

>>38681667

"Well, time to stare into the abyss of madness," you comment, opening the project Cell journal.

"After dedicating so many years to the Artificial Human project, it feels strange to turn my attention to other works. However, Android Sixteen is the last failure I care to deal with for the time being. It is time for me to move onto something that I know will be a success. For years, I have worked to create artificial life capable of surpassing the greatest warriors in the universe, but this creation will be different. It won't simply be greater than the strongest fighters alive, it will be made from them."

You turn the page and continue reading Gero's notes.

"I have decided to utilize a system similar to the surveillance I performed during the Artificial Human program in order to gather the genetic material required to create the ultimate lifeform. The fleet of drones for this purpose is nearly complete, and soon the harvesting will begin."

You decide to keep reading.

"The drones are done, and just in time, it seems," it says. "A curious development has taken place, and provided me with an opportunity to gather more cells. Earlier today, an object from another world crashed on a farm out in the country. And inside the object war a creature remarkably similar to a human, except for one curious feature. He had a tail, very similar to the one Goku possessed as a child. My suspicions of a connection between the two was proven correct by my surveillance drones, which discovered that the Alien was Goku's brother. The harvester drones were able to gather some cells from the alien known as Raditz, and, better still, the surveillance drones were able to gather a significant amount of data during a battle between Raditz, Goku, Piccolo, and a young boy, apparently named Kaguya, strangely enough. Goku's son displayed a shocking amount of strength. I'm certain the harvesters gathered some of his cells, but I wonder where this power of his came from."

You continue reading.

"The past year has been somewhat frustrating," the journal says. "With the impending arrival of the Saiyans, I expected to be able to collect a significant amount of data on Goku's allies as they trained. Unfortunately, they all seem to be doing their training on the legendary Lookout of the Guardian, Kami. My drones have located the Lookout, but are unable to reach it, for whatever reason. However, upon the arrival of the Saiyans, I was able to gather a large amount of data on Goku's friends during the ensuing battle. In addition, cells gathered from Nappa and Vegeta will go a long way towards creating the perfect being. Even those Saibamen creatures seemed to possess some interesting abilities, though the full extent won't be known until I conduct a thorough cellular analysis."

slow acting senzu beans? sounds good. another thing would be an automated injector that injects a liquid of senzu extract when the user is in critical condition.

We Naked Snake it and temporarily replace our teeth with false ones filled with the supplement.We use a small amount of the healing pod juice to keep our teeth alive until we are done with they Cell Games business and put our real teeth back in.

"To my great frustration, Goku took little part in the battle against the Saiyans," it reads. "He fought only briefly, and while data was gathered on a technique known as the "Kaio-Ken", it is far from enough to create a proper data module of any new powers Goku has acquired during his time in Otherworld. For this reason, I am forced to send drones to follow him and his friends to Namek."

You turn to the last page.

"The drones have successfully stowed away on the trip to Namek, and soon I will have many more Cells and far more data for my projects. However, I have come to the realization that creating the perfect lifeform is a task that I am unlikely to finish in my own lifetime. For that reason, I programmed a supercomputer to continue my work. In the meantime, I have recently acquired two new test subjects for the Artificial Human program. I believe they will be more than adequate for my purposes, and might even be useful in creating the perfect being...."

You flip ahead through the journal, stopping when you reach the entry on Android 13.

"Number thirteen is a fully mechanical perpetual energy model," the journal explains. "After the failures involving Numbers Eleven and Twelve, I have decided to forgo creating cyborgs and instead stick to full Androids. In addition, I have determined that perpetual energy models are simply more efficient. As usual, I have kept the appearance of this model human, and even programmed him with the mannerisms and vocal patterns of a redneck. I have also decided to give Number Thirteen the ability to salvage parts from other models and integrate them into his own design."

You flip to the page on Android 14.

"Android Fourteen is, like his predecessor, a perpetual energy model, and entirely mechanical," the journal explains. "While Thirteen was designed with an eye towards blending in, Fourteen has a rather offputting appearance, and doesn't speak much. He is simply programmed to coldly and efficiently carry out his orders, and with his level of power, I believe He will be more than capable of dealing with Goku."

You turn the page.

"Android Fifteen is quite similar in programming to Number Fourteen," the journal explains. "In fact, as I constructed number Fifteen, I made some alterations to the programing of Fourteen so that the two would be more able to work together and exchange information. Fifteen's appearance is far less intimidating, and he is far smaller in stature. However, he has displayed greater intelligence and personality than his predecessor, I consider him a successful project."

>(Continued)

>>38683839
You keep reading.

"Goku's power has been increasing over the years, despite the fact that he has settled down and started a family. For this reason, I feared that Fourteen and Fifteen might not be enough. So, I sought to create a model with enough power to crush Goku effortlessly. Number Sixteen was modeled in appearance after my fallen son, but the infernal machine has proven to be a colossal disappointment. While his power is every bit as great as I'd hoped for, he does not follow my orders properly, refusing to accept any command other than eliminating Goku. This level of disobedience is astounding, as the past three models have obeyed me entirely. Sixteen has been shut down, as has this project, as I turn my attention towards a new area of research, one that shall yield far greater results."

You turn to the next entry.

"As the realization that the Cell project will not be completed in my lifetime came, so too did some good fortune," it says. "I happened upon a pair of runaways who were being pursued by the North City Police. It was a simple matter to bring them to my lab, simply by offering to hide them and give them some food. The two are quite young, and in surprisingly good physical condition for a pair of delinquents. They are siblings, a boy named Lapis, and a girl named Lazuli. After Numbers Eleven and Twelve, I expected never to create cyborgs again, but my research in that field has given me plenty of knowledge, and I am confident that this time, I can do things right.

Simple, he build #19 and most of #20 and then had #19 transfer his brain into the casing of #20.

>>38684111
Huh. That makes sense. I wouldn't trust 19 for that. He seems the kind to drop things or squeeze them too hard.

I'm honestly curious about 11 and 12 now. Also, the original and the shittiest.

>>38684182
Right we should probably have asked about the ones that never showed up

>>38684205
Relax, let's just ask for some photocopies.

Also, this stuff wasn't all that horrifying or brain destroying.

>>38684236
Other than the whole kidnapping and turning into cyborg thing.

>>38684182
I am curious about them as well.

>>38684236
He basically reenacted Hansel and Gretel.

"Lapis and Lazuli are not pleased with their current predicament," the journal says as you continue reading. "Were I in their position, I imagine I would feel the same. They have already made attempts to escape, though I have seen to it that there is no way out for them. The ungrateful brats should consider themselves likely. They will become some of the mightiest beings to ever exist, and then parts of something even greater. I haven't told them what I intend to do, of course. There is a chance that they may attempt to take their own lives if they know what's coming. So, it will have to be a surprise."

You turn the page.

"The process began today. I sedated the two and brought them to the surgery tables, which, I haven't had to make use of since Numbers Eleven and Twelve. The procedure requires that the patients be awake, and Lapis gave quite a good indication of the agony the procedure caused him. It was difficult to keep him from dying of shock from what was happening, but, unlike with previous failures, he survived the procedure, though the effect it will have on his mental state remains to be seen. Lazuli, usually the quiet one, was rather vocal as I operated on her brother, shouting curses and promises that she would end my life. Of course, the only noise she made once it was her turn was screams of pain. It was a difficult process, but the conversion is complete. Lapis is now Cyborg Seventeen, and Lazuli is now Cyborg Eighteen. The two will, of course, need more work done so that they can function properly, as it is, they're currently rendered comatose from what I've done. Of course, further programming is much easier than the first step, and I am confident that Seventeen and Eighteen will be the greatest achievements of this program."

You're beginning to understand why Bulma was worried about you reading the journals. Nevertheless, you read on, turning the page.

"Cyborgs Seventeen and Eighteen have been shut down," the journal says. "They have proven disobedient, and, unlike Sixteen, who simply refused to obey orders, Seventeen and Eighteen have made attempts on my life. This is unacceptable. The two were quite powerful, but now I can't use them. They will simply remain offline until Cell is complete. Then, he will wake them and swallow them whole."

You're a bit curious about the previous cyborgs Gero created, so you flip back to the entries on Androids 11 and 12.

"My attempts at creating cybernetic warriors have been frustrating," the journal says. "I've gone through dozens of subjects, and they've all either died in the process of conversion, or immediately upon being activated. To make matters worse, I've nearly been caught by the local police on multiple occasions. Things are becoming dangerous, and I've already had to reactivate Android Ten to eliminate some fools snooping around. If the two subjects I've recently acquired prove failures, then I am going to forego the pursuit of creating cyborgs altogether."

God no.
God pls no.

Have you SEEN the kind of ethics Xcom uses?
As in, COMPLETE LACK OF ETHICS?
Mind raping the defenseless as a training exercise, or for fun. Letting recruits intentionally kill themeslves. Intentionally TRIGGERING an alien invasion, because all those dead xenos and salvaged UFO parts look good on the monthly report. Levelling houses, barns, crops, cities, anything that can't be sold. Selling weapons to whoever pays them.
I wouldn't put it past Xcom manually infiltrating the world governments themselves and starting a world war so they'd have more demand, and thus get more money, for their weapons sales.
After all, the casualties from a world war don't get shown on the monthly report. ;-)

>>38685022
well if the assholes would stop demanding we pay for shit we use to DEFEND EARTH I wouldn't have to be so predatory in my management of finances.

>>38685022
Are you talking about X-COM as in classic X-COM? Or XCOM as in reboot XCOM?

>>38685106
considering the new xcom doesn't have proper destructible environments the answer is obvious.

>>38685134
>Rocket goes wide and hits the wall of a building
>Paying fines for years afterwards

Fuckin' Xcom man, not trying to save them from aliens or anything.

>>38685022
But an Xcom with Kaguya at the helm would be an interesting organization if only because a nation pulling support would have to deal with him going to "negotiate" with them personally. Seriously, what part of last best hope for humanity do those chuckle fucks not get?

That aside Z-Com with actual ethics and bad ass elites would be amazing. Artificial Human units, Ki Manipulators, Perpetual Energy Mechs, Namekian commandos (DLC only), Saiyan shock troops and super human assault troops.

And you just fucking know Xcom will gleefully release Live Chryssalids on anyone who loses faith in the Xcom project because fuck 'em.

Once I took an Avenger of 8 psionic soldiers and 18 low-psi-potential rookies over to a Snakeman terror mission in Rome. Italy had withdrawn funding from the project. I mind controlled and disarmed the snakemen, fed everyone but the 8 psi-bros to the chryssalids, loaded all the xenos weapons into the avenger, and buggered off.

You turn the page and keep on reading.

"The two subjects I have come to possess are orphans, and sisters. One is quite young, likely four or five, while the other is in her early twenties and has been caring for the younger one. And, these subjects are the first to survive the conversion process, though the child's screaming during the procedure indicates that it was extremely agonizing. The older one went into shock upon seeing what was being done to her sister, and I barely managed to keep her alive. Still, the conversion was a success. The child has been given the name Cyborg Eleven, and the adult has been named Cyborg Twelve."

You turn the page.

"Finally, Numbers Eleven and Twelve are complete," the journal tells you. "I decided to see how well the pair would function as energy absorption models. I considered giving them perpetual energy, but were I to do so, I will not have been able to program them with behavioral control. As a result, the two are entirely obedient to my commands. They also seem to function properly, however, they have started at very low levels of strength, and it would take them a great deal of time to siphon the proper amount of energy to complete their task. So, I have deactivated them both."

You look away from the journal as Bulma enters the room, carrying the fruit from the Tree of Might.

"Here you are, Kaguya," she tells you, handing you the fruit.

>>38685398

Yes.

She wants the V.

She smiles. "You too. Train hard."

You nod turning to leave, but stopping. "And Bulma, once we beat Cell, we'll get everyone he killed back, including Vegeta."

She nods.

"Oh, can I keep this journal?" you ask. "I want to see if Sixteen has any information that isn't included here."

"Of course, it's all yours," she tells you.

With that, you leave Capsule Corp, taking to the sky and sensing for Goku. To your surprise, he's alone and heading right for you. Flying his way, the two of you meet up just outside the city.

"Hey, Kaguya!" he greets.

>>38685550
Different anon but he also wanted the quest to be his own personal wish fulfillment up to and including having the MC named after him.

so we're just going to waste the fruit then?

>>38685640
Giving the fruit to Gohan is not a waste.

>>38685541

>A. Ask what he's doing here

>B. Ask if he wants to train

"Sorry I didn't train with you guys as much as I wanted to today but it seemed like I would only slow you down until I closed the gap with these cuffs some more."

>>38685640
Wouldnt Super Saiyans benefit the most due to PL multiplication

>>38685541
"Guessing you sensed Cell on the Lookout. We're okay, but he did blow up the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." Then ask if everything is okay, and if so ask if he wants to train some.

>>38685541
>B. Ask if he wants to train

>>38685541
>A. Ask what he's doing here
Let's hold off on asking if he wants to train until we know he doesn't have a conversation to potentially hold.

>>38685524
No, I joined here shortly after Garlic Jr was dealth with. I just really like the idea of helping humanity "ascend", in a way.

>>38685640
Giving it to Gohan is one of the best things we can do with it. Eating it ourselves is a gamble because we don't know if it will effect our overall power (which will just be a drop in a bucket) or effect our cuffed power (which will be a monsoon in a bucket). Gohan is the safer bet because any benefit he gains will be multiplied by his transformations.

>>38685661
assuming the fruit gives aroun 70k increase in PL and gohan goes SSJ2 he gets 7 million increase from the fruit. That's around 5,8 % of Friezas PL. It's not very much.

>>38685737
The fruit woud work better as a kickstart to start the training of someone not in the millions of normal PL.

>>38685810
Like us right now if it boosts us based on the cuffs?

>>38685737
Yet it's more than what giving it to anyone else will accomplish. Giving it to Roshi is a silly joke that wouldn't have any actual benefits, giving it to Icarus makes our dragon a bit stronger but he'll never be a main combatant anyway. Our friends will get as little out of it as we will. If we don't give it to Gohan none of the other saiyans will eat it. If the fruit doesn't do anything for Gohan it would do even less for ourselves.

>>38685810
No not really. If they were human it wouldn't do anything to speed up breaking past their limits since it's artificially increasing their strength. If we wanted to use it for Goten Trunks or Tarble or something maybe it would help with that, but that's a long time to hold on to a fruit that will only be effective as plot demands.

>>38685859
I don't think it works like that. Cuffs are essentially weighted training gear.

>>38685737
>70k increase
Why wouldn't it boost us by a flat percentage of our current max instead?

"Hey, Goku, what are you doing here?" you ask. "Guessing you sensed Cell on the Lookout. Everyone's okay, but he did blow up the Hyperbolic Time Chamber."

Goku nods. "I sensed Cell. We were going to come to the Lookout, but he left pretty quickly. It's a shame about the Time Chamber, but I came about your training."

"Yeah, sorry I didn't train with you guys as much as I wanted to," you tell him. "But it seemed like I would only slow you down until I closed the gap with these cuffs some more."

"Kaguya, your power increases by fighting stronger opponents," Goku reminds you. "Training with us would have made you stronger faster."

He gives you a serious look. "But, your cuff training isn't the only thing I want to talk about. Kaguya, what drives you to fight?"

humans get gains in an exponential curve that plateaus when we reach the level we're aiming for. Any human we give it to gets the first year of their training cut from them simply by giving them a higher starting point. if you're against roshi then give it to videl.

>>38685910

>A. The desire to be stronger

>>38685921
don't forget as was pointed out in the previous thread he blew up the moon with a PL under 150. that guy hits WAY over his PL

>>38686251
I think you've blinded yourself to PL's not mattering at all. Notice Goku and the others usually always get stronger when they need to protect something from the latest big bad and everything is on the line. They then kick in the enemy's shit. Powerlevel's mean jack beyond "This guy is 2stronk u need train".

"It's fun to fight strong opponents, even if the outcome seems bleak," you tell him. "I can't help but feel excited by it."

Goku smiles. "I know the feeling."

"But, at the same time, I know that, if I'm not able to beat my opponents, they might hurt people I care about," you continue. "I'm willing to give them a chance to change their ways, but I also can't stand there and let them do what they want."

He nods. "I understand."

"Why are you asking me this?" you ask.

"Because it seems like whatever's driving you, well, it's not driving you as much as it normally does," Goku answers. "You spent a day doing training that got you much less of an increase in power than you could have gotten. After today, we only have a week until the Cell Games. You say that you want to protect others, then that means you have to give it everything you have."

He stares at you. "I know what you're capable of, I know how hard you can push yourself, but today, you just kind of goofed off. And right now, we can't afford that sort of thing. Not when you're one of our best chances at beating Cell."

>A. Tell him that you were training hard

>B. Ask why he thinks you're one of the best chances

>C. What about Gohan?

>D. Something else

>>38685872
The fruit would never make a noticeable difference in anyone that is already significantly strong. So it either goes to someone weak, or it gets wasted on someone that could train the difference up in a day.

>>38686358
>B. Ask why he thinks you're one of the best chances

>>38686358

"Kaguya, I am dissappoint."

>>38686342

That's more a part of the genre convention rather than how it actually works, isn't it? I mean, DBZ kind of a forerunner in that regard, but still.

Using PL alone as something to measure the outcome of battles is a pitfall that villains fall for in DBZ, but it's still a useful metric.

>>38686358
>A. Tell him that you were training hard
>B. Ask why he thinks you're one of the best chances

"I couldn't move at the time and Videl arrived, she was pretty much helping me get used to these cuffs while I taught her a bit. But I'm trying with Kazume for the entire day tomorrow, I should be able to be back at my normal pl at night or close to it."

>A. Tell him that you were training hard
>C. What about Gohan?
i didn't want to hold everyone else progress back.

>>38686421
because it holds a small portion of the energy of the world. it doesn't unlock anything inside.

>>38686421
Dralo indicated as much and since it didn't to shit when we gave it to Gohan in the possible future thread it pretty much confirmed that it isn't a % based power up.

>>38686421
Well, it gives the one who consumes it all the energy it absorbed from the planet. I don't see why it wouldn't increase your power by that specific amount.

>>38686358
>A. Tell him that you were training hard

>B. Ask why he thinks you're one of the best chances

>C. What about Gohan?

>D. Something else
We should explain to him why we came to Capsule Corp and what we talked to Bulma about aswell.

>>38686358
>D. Something else
"Because I am waiting for Android 13 to arrive before the timeskip. It wouldn't be interesting to for it to just be grinding away all day."

>>38686358

>A. Tell him that you were training hard

>B. Ask why he thinks you're one of the best chances

>>38686358

"Tell that to the people who voted for training small then. You try having 50 people in your head with different opinions and short attention spans guide your actions and see how efficient you are."

we could keep increasing the amount of power in the cuffs everytime we start being able to move.

>>38686533
It doesn't matter we are just timeskipping for max gains after 13.

>>38686561
it does matter for tomorrow and the fight against 13

>>38686358
A, B, C, and ask if he can put a little more energy in the cuffs. And point out that we could barely move less than 12 hours ago. We would have been in the way today. We had to relearn how to walk. Then mention we're training with Kazuma all day tomorrow, so hopefully one of us figures out how to take these off before the Cell Games.

>>38686495
>>38686521
Besides even if we train our absolute hardest we won't be allowed to be more powerful than a certain point.

>>38686561
Yep we'll hit the power cap one way or another. Or we won't and Cell wins, GG no Re shoulda voted different or something.

>>38686521
>>38686495
We aren't Frank, we don't know we have a bunch of people controlling us.

>>38686593
Pretty much, DRALO said 'close to Cell' and I think that's best we are going to get even if we try to exploit the fuck out of the cuffs.

>>38686619
It was a joke

>>38686619
Right, we're just joking around and venting. Dralo having the NPCs get mad at us for shit we can't control is dumb and after Cell waiving his dick in our face last thread it seems poorly timed.

"I am training hard," you promise. "I couldn't move at all for a while, and Videl had to help me get used to the cuffs. I'm training with Kazuma all day tomorrow, though, so I should be at my normal strength, or close to it, tomorrow night."

Goku smiles. "That's the spirit. If you can manage that, then I think Cell's in a lot of trouble."

"Why do you think I'm one of you best hopes of winning?" you ask.

"What do you mean? You've always been fighting the strongest opponents, and beaten fighters the rest of us couldn't," Goku tells you. "We would have lost to Vegeta if it weren't for you, you defeated Frieza twice, helped beat Androids 19 and 20, and beat Garlic Junior. You save the day a lot, and you're one of the strongest out of us."

"What about Gohan?" you ask.

Goku smiles proudly. "Gohan's an amazing fighter, and, to tell you a secret, he's even stronger than I am. But, I think if you're both prepared, we have a better chance."

He floats higher into the air. "Well, goodnight, Kaguya, I gotta get home or Chi Chi will get mad."

He flies away, leaving you floating outside the city.

Ask 16 if he will spar with us and ask him about 11 and 12 while we do so.

>"Because it seems like whatever's driving you, well, it's not driving you as much as it normally does"

>>38686709
Is it possible for us to do some type of meditation, to find what drives us, and make that drive stronger?
Or would that just be more goofing off?

>>38686784
it was a not so subtle hint that we shouldn't be fucking around by the QM

>>38686784
Considering that "Drive" comes down to what you guys decide to do, it wouldn't be much use

>>38686709
Seconding >>38686758
and also
>D. Eat dinner

>>38686806
>>38686812
Oh. sorry. Got a bit too IC for a moment.

>>38686784
The statement really means nothing.

>>38686812
I'll apologize. We are sorry we used the P Room instead of grinding away at those levels as soon as we could walk. Next time we will forego all character interaction and do the same spars over and over again.

>>38686806
One wonders about player agency.
Yes, we obviously have choices, but will our choices affect the gameworld?
I suppose I shouldn't complain. IC, beating Cell is far more important than any other character interactions or gaining knowledge about anything else.
But I'm a bit bummed that our choices are basically limited to "Give it our all training for Cell. Not a single minute wasted." or "Die. Your choices ultimately changed nothing."

>>38686862
I'm not saying that, I'm saying that working on making your drive stronger is pretty ineffectual when it still just comes down to what's voted on

>>38686926
I was apologizing in response to Goku (You) berating us.

>>38686915
Then again, all I have to do is remember a certain other quest to remind myself what complete lack of player agency ACTUALLY looks like, and thank Dralo for the opportunities he (or she) has given us so far.

Still a bit worried though. I know we've made bad choices, but have we screwed ourselves so thoroughly to the point where Cell is now a death sentence?

>>38686959
there are still plenty of ways to break the system. DRALO just has officially said no to some of them.

>>38686959
No, but right now, you're weaker than he is, so if you want to win with as little suffering as possible, you need to train as best you can

>>38686959
I'm pretty sure we'll be at the 50/50 level we were told. It's just that we as a player base didn't realize that going from weaker opponents to stronger opponents with the cuffs was such a suboptimal choice, we had assumed that just going for the most powerful sparring partner wouldn't speed up our improvement any and would slow their improvement.

>>38687006
Then thats doing the damn Kaz plan we wanted to implement last thread, taking the cuffs off, having them catch up to us Superhuman style, then putting stronger cuffs on, rinse repeat.

We have our plan, whats the issue?
