You approach the area with what you assume the Crown thing you all were sent here to get. Your brother, Goku, and Tien all come up, trailing behind you. The monkey boy laughs as he approaches. "You're always so fast, Maple. Hard to keep up sometimes. Guess that's another thing I have to try to keep up with."

You chuckle. "Hey, who's trying to keep up here? You're stronger than any of us, Goku. Gotta find some way to keep from falling behind."

Your brother raises an eyebrow but stays quiet, while Tien speaks up, "Of course, simple strength isn't everything, as you yourself have proven. And it seems Kami's sent us here to learn more about that."

Goku steps forward, scratching his head as he looks at the Crown. "So... what do we do now?"

"Kami did say something about wearing it." the triclops comments.

Acer puts his hands behind his head, making eye contact with you. "You did get here first, sis. You wanna get it first?"

See if there are any spirits here we can communicate with. Just because the crown is out here in the open doesn't mean it's free for anyone to take. Or perhaps the crown is just a shiny-looking red herring and there's something else that needs to be done or learned to unlock the powers it purportedly grants.

>>42009552
You rub your chin as you look over the object. "Better safe than sorry..." you think aloud, and attempt to detect any curses or magic associated with it. It's... strange. There's SOME kind of magic inside it, but you're at a loss to explain what it is. It's not demonic, at least, but there's something very... peculiar about it. You also try to sense if there's anything else around, but all that's there is... silence. ...silence. Quieter than the sky...

"Sis?" Acer speaks up.

"All right, I'll take it." you state, removing the crown from the pillar. You stare at it for a moment, and then place it on your head. You spin around and give a cheeky smile. "Haha! Now I'm Queen Maple the First!"

Acer rolls his eyes. "Very funny, sis."

You stick out your tongue... and then feel the crown tighten on your head. The magic, or... whatever it is about it seems to increase substantially. The area holding it sinks down. You can feel static electricity start to build up in the air. Uh-oh.

Your hands immediately grip the crown on your head as a reflex... but you let go, confusing everyone else slightly. "Guys, stay back." You focus. Silence, quiet as the sky, quieter than the sky, and... "Faster than lightning, huh...?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VR1dX3TA2O8

As if on cue, a bolt comes down towards you, with you moving out of the way just in time. Goku gives a shout of "Maple!" but then realizes that... you did it. You dodged the lightning. He grins wide, your brother and Tien a little surprised, Tien moreso.

You almost feel like celebrating, but can still sense the increase in magic. You focus again. This isn't over yet.

Have fun mom and friends, I'll be at work.

Remember not to lose your way

I wonder if we could copy the crown's effect and mark someone to become a lightning rod. That way our lightning attacks become 100% accurate.

If we ionize the air (which the crown must do) it would make it conductive and more likely for our lightning strikes to hit. Very useful for our new attack too.

You... consider showing off juuuust a little. Keeping your focus, you first leave an afterimage of where you were when the lightning hits, dodging aside, though perhaps not as quickly as you'd like to have. You decide to keep your focus, almost effortlessly dodging the next strike. Power... seems to flow into you as the crown's magic starts to lessen. You almost dance around the next strike, feeling somewhat stronger and far, far faster than before. Tien, Goku, and Acer stare in amazement as you keep moving. Finally, the Crown seems to loosen, and with a final dodge, flies off your head, returning to the pillar you took it from. You look back at it... and then at yourself. A faint aura seems to surround your body, and jolts of static crackling in the air.

Tien approaches first. "It seems you've learned what Kami wanted us to learn." He glances back at the crown, a bolt of lightning striking it. You can sense it... recharge, somehow? Huh. The Triclops is the next to reach for it. You, Acer, and Goku watch as he too seems to manage to dodge the strikes aimed towards him, with him not wasting time or effort on showing off. After the same number of tries, though with a little more difficulty than you had, the crown flies off his head as well, returning to its spot. Tien seems to have the same aura you do, now.

"That's amazing, guys!" Goku shouts with glee.

"This... there seems to be something to this..." Tien comments, his aura and your own fading... but you can tell that there's something about it still inside you.

"Heh, so you two think up a name for this? 'Quicker than Lightning' is a bit of a mouthful."

You ponder to yourself. A name... a name... how about...

>A. Raio-ken, 'Fist of the Lightning King!'
>B. Kanmuru, 'Godspeed!'
>C. Denko-sekka, 'Volt-speed!'
>D. (Write in)
>E. ...dunno. Tien, you have an idea?

You smirk a little. "How about... Raio-ken. 'Fist of the Lightning King!'" You do a little pose, but... "...if that's okay with King Kai. Let's see..." Time to think up a joke. "...what's the difference between a jeweler and a jailer? One sells watches, the other watches cells!" Tien and Acer stare at you blankly.

'PFFTTHAHAHAHahaha... hoo... good one, kid.' Well hello King Kai.

'Am I going to have to worry about, er, copyright infringement if I name this new skill Raio-ken? Like... Kaio-ken. But fast. And lightning.'

'Heh heh, sure, sure. So Kami has you doing that, huh? Actually talking with him right now, Maple. Something kinda serious here. But thanks for that.'

"Sure, sure... thanks, King Kai!" The three boys give you a reaction of 'oh.' "He says it's okay.

"Of course he did." brobro mumbles with a bit of a laugh. He's the next to try to learn the technique, and while he shows more difficulty than you or Tien did, he finally manages to get a hold of it. Goku is the last to try... and despite his best efforts, he can't manage it. He's repeatedly shocked by the crown, and soon collapses on the ground. You rush over to heal him up, and he just... sighs.

"Sorry Maple, guess I'm gonna need even more practice." He sits down, arms crossed, thinking hard.

So, "Don't go as fast as you, go faster than lightning"?

Monkey boy... You pat him on the head. "Hey, you can do this, Goku. Don't let failure slow you down, that's what the Crown wants you to think. Think of it like... a test in battle. The lightning is your opponent, and you have to stay just one step ahead of it. Letting it see how quick you are in one go won't help, pace yourself, and you'll become faster than lightning! Just..." You place your hands behind your back, nudging a pebble with your foot. "...don't overdo it, okay? Take as long as you need."

Goku stands up, a cheeky smile across his face. "Sure thing!"

You smile back. "Gonna check on that Chuu Lee girl, good luck."

"I'll stay here." Tien comments. "Good place to practice meditating."

"Yeah, surrounded by constant lightning. Great place." brobro laughs in a sarcastic tone.

"Barely different than a waterfall." the triclops responds.

You and Acer head down, following where you can sense Chuu Lee's ki. You spot her... on the roof of a house? Her mother's outside. "Chuu Lee get down from there, it's dangerous!"

"But mother I can almost s- aahhh!" she starts to slip. She's gonna fall!

Hey, Kato, have you read this? It's something anons wrote up a while back, apparently, and it's a really interesting read, and actually sheds a lot of light on why Goku acts the way he does in Dragon Ball. I'll be honest, I was one of those people who assumed he wasn't terribly bright, even as an adult, but this made me look at him, and the other characters, very differently; in a good way.

Anyway, I feel like it fits well with Tuffle Quest Goku, so I was wondering what your thoughts were on this interpretation of him.

Thinking quick, you CLOTHES BEAM some pillows onto the ground, then use your telekinesis to slow her descent. Acer arrives just as she touches down, then he helps her up. You arrive soon after, to the girl's grateful expression. "Y-you saved me!"

You grin a little. "Eh, was just lucky enough to be here in time. What were you doing up there?"

Her mother approaches. "She's right, Chuu Lee, you could have gotten seriously hurt!"

The other redheaded girl frowns apologetically. "Sorry... just, I thought I could s-sense Pippi..."

"Pippi?" Acer questions.

She nods. "My pet bird. She flew away a while ago, but... I thought she'd come back today..." As if on cue, you and Acer sense something approaching. It's... a bird. "Pippi!"

The girl's mother stares in quiet amazement. You yourself are a little impressed. She could sense it even before YOU could. Even brobro seems a bit impressed.

You scoot over to her mother. "How long has she been able to do things like this?"

The woman hesitates in answering you, thinking hard. "...you know, I never really thought about it before, but I guess... most of her life. I always thought it was just some game, or her having good eyesight, but..."

"She's a real prodigy, then. Would... you be fine if I could teach her a few things?" you ask, glancing back at the girl. She's overjoyed to have her bird back. "At the very least, how to fly or something, in case she tries another stunt like this."

The woman gives you a curious look, and takes a few minutes to think it over. She's obviously never really encountered such a situation like this before, strange flying people coming over and telling her that her daughter has superpowers. ...Gonna have to start thinking on that more in the future, too. Explaining things for more people... though might backfire. Gotta be careful. The woman lets out a sight. "I... suppose, if she wants to. Please be careful, Miss Mahogany."

You nod respectfully, and walk over. "Well Chuu Lee, how about it? You want to learn more about ki and stuff?"

She looks at you, not quite sure how to respond at first... but eventually nods. "If you're willing to show me."

"All righty, let's get started!"

wanna see what she comes up with.

Ask her what she knows about ki, magic and such. Build from the knowledge she has. Also explain the differences.

>>42012706
This sounds good

>>42012687
>>A. Start with the absolute basics to see how much she can do from the start

We should see if Chiaotzu can train her in psychic abilities too.

Also, do you think Yajirobe can train Brobro in advanced swordsmanship?

You calmly start explaining the basics to her. The inner strength, inner energy that all living beings possess, the nature of ki. You also start to mention magic and telekinetic abilities, explaining how you saved her using both, and then tying it all back to ki. She's mostly silent as she listens to you, only asking questions when she seems to make connections on her own. You then demonstrate harnessing one's ki to her, telling her how to do it, and explaining every step of the way.

Chuu Lee seems far more adept at this than even she realized, as soon,after listening to your instructions very carefully, she brings out her own ki. Brobro seems surprised, and you're surprised as well. Even when learning under Teacher, it was never this easy for either of you. After her first success, you both just decide to chat for a while, she telling you, in a slightly embarrassed tone, about her relatively simple life in the mountains with her mother. She does seem to have a few friends nearby, the nine children of a man and woman named Mousse and Eclair. You explain a bit about yourself, at least what you think she can take in at the moment, telling her about your own friends, how you and your brother came to meet them, and some of the adventures you've gone on.

She does seem to think on the topic of... Goku, a bit. As the two of you sit next to each other, the other girl hugging her legs to her chest, she comments... "That monkey boy is... kinda cute, to be honest. Is... he your boyfriend?"

laura,

BAILEY.

Just tell the truth.

.…and if she tries to make a move on him we'll bite her head off.

>>42013416
she's what, 6?

>>42013416
And fry her alive with lightning.

>>42013416
Yeah nah. No need to be jealous, no one else comes close to the shit Goku and Maple have been through together.

>>42013432
She's 12, younger than even you and brobro.

Gonna take a bit, folks, but hopefully not too long.

>>42013456
No problem, take your time.

>>42013411
If Laura Bailey voiced someone jumping off a bridge, would you vote for Maple to do that as well?

>>42013473
Maple can fly. So yeah.

>>42013473
Maple can fly so that point is moot.

>>42013473
I mean, have you HEARD Laura Bailey's voice? I can't be the only one who's been imagining Maple with her voice all this time.

>>42013527
I wonder if she sounded like Kid Trunks at the start of this quest?

Rolled 3, 5, 16, 15, 9 = 48 (5d20)

Hmm...

>>42013607
Hopefully that was for our Monkeyboy.

>>42013607
Shit, Goku's almost there...

>>42013607
Well then.

Writing...

I think Maple would be good with whatever Goku decides, just that she would prefer to date him a bit more before he decides.

>>42013682
For sure. We plan on taking this slow anyways. No rush.

>>42013707
Sometimes we move faster than lightning and others we move slower than molasses. That's funny.

Of course she asks you that. Just join the crowd, why don't ya, Chuu Lee. Pretty sure Gohan is laughing right now... "N-no, but..." You sigh, your cheeks turning red. You can hear Acer snickering. "...we're not quite there yet, but we've been best friends for years, and, well..."

Chuu Lee leans closer. "...well?"

"...I like him. Let's leave it at that, okay?" There. Honesty. Now she knows, and won't probe any further at it. Okay, you're good, Maple. Now oh Gods change subject change subject change subject... "A-anyway! Enough about him, let's focus back on you. You've already gotten to bringing out your ki, now let's see how you deal with flight."

You spend the next hour helping the other redhead learn to fly, explaining things through calmly and carefully. And finally... she does it. Chuu Lee is hovering in the air, her pet bird flying around her and chirping happily, her mother looking in amazement and a bit of pride at what her daughter just accomplished.

"Congratulations. Heh, second person I've been able to teach to fly in less than a day..." you comment nostalgically. Goku and Tien arrive soon after, the monkey boy looking... rather worn out, but not too badly hurt.

"D-did it..." he comments with some exhaustion. "Bit... hard, still, but I did it."

"Heh, good job, Goku." You tap fists with him.

You quickly make contact with Kami. 'We're all, heh, quicker than lightning now. Should we head back?'

'Ah, Maple, Acer, Tien... yes, please return when you can.' Seems you weren't the only one with that idea.

'Heh, will do, just got some things to finish up, first.' You walk over to Chuu Lee and her mother, smiling at the other redhead. "You've made a lot of progress, I'm impressed. After I've done some training of my own, would you like me to come back and help you some more?"

"Yes, please!" she responds enthusiastically. "Heehee, can't wait to show everyone..."

"Don't just use it to show off, now. Try to use what you learned here to better yourself, Chuu Lee. I'll keep in touch." You and the boys wave to her as you start to fly off. About halfway to Kami's lookout, Tien makes a comment that catches your attention.

"...the moon is back. Huh, guess he really did do that."

You yourself look, and... the moon is full.

>A. ...Goku, try not to look just yet
>B. Let's head down, just to be safe
>C. Something else?

>>42014292

> "Let's hurry back to the lookout. Kami sounded like he needs us back there pretty quick. Just close your eyes for now, Monkey Boy."

>>42014292
>Acer, Tien, could you two fly up ahead?
>C. It's so beautiful. Hey Goku, you've never gotten a look at it before, have you?

>>42014292
Trust Goku to control himself.

>>42014352
Nigger what?

Nows our chance to train kaioken and raioken in Oozaru form.

Also to practice speech

>>42014292
>>C. Something else?
"Orders Kami?"


>B. Let's head down, just to be safe

>>42014393
I think for now he needs to mediate in that form to get full control of his thoughts. Gotta start somewhere.

>>42014431
*meditate

>>42014393
>>42014431
That doesn't sound like a very good idea. Maybe eventually, but if it goes wrong, Goku will just kill us all, and there won't be a damn thing we can do to stop him. He got control of it once, but let's maybe hold off on the life or death gambits until we need to.

>>42014292
>C. Try to ignore sudden urge to destroy it and hurry back
>A. ...Goku, try not to look just yet
Let's see Kami first, right now it might be a bit inconvenient

>>42014507
Its something that needs to be worked on, risk or no.

>>42014532
There's literally no reason it needs to happen right now. Eventually, yes, but not now. It's something that needs to be handled delicately.

Maybe we could just fly him there while covering his eyes with our hands, or clothes beaming a leash and blindfold onto him.

>>42014574
Oh, I'll bet you Gokufags would like that, wouldn't you?

>>42014582
Not really no.

"...hey, Goku, know you've kinda started to learn it, but, would you mind keeping yourself from looking? Just wanna be cautious."

"Heh, it'll be fine, Maple. Even if I do, you'll be here to get me to snap out of it." he replies, smiling at you.

You smile back, and fly closer, the four of you bolting off towards Kami. For what it's worth, Goku pays attention to your warning, and all of you head back to the Lookout without incident. You notice Trip and Mr. Popo outside, and it seems... Kami is talking with someone again.

He's not even trying to keep it to himself. Hmm. "But they should know the truth. I know how they... react to certain events, but-" Kami sees you all approach. "...well King Kai, perhaps we should let them decide." The aged Namekian stands, taking a deep breath. "Goku, Maple, Acer... I must warn you ahead of time that this is not something to take lightly."

A second voice enters your heads. 'Guess I have no choice... You will see the truth behind the destruction of your planet. But you MUST see it actually happen, to drive something home to you all, if you want to learn it. Are you three willing to go through with this?'

>A. I am
>B. Wait for the boys to answer first

>D. Something else?

>>A. I am
"Alright, I trust you two to know whats best. Show it to me."

>>42015150
>>C. Need some more details, what's going on exactly? See what? What truth?

Context, nigguh.

You don't sign a contract without reading that shit first!

>>42015150
>D. Silly Kami, that was never our planet.

>>42015177
well at least you got the "freak" part right...
>>42015150
>A. I am

I don't get why King Kai knows of this, he's the one who told Goku it was destroyed by a meteor shower from the Plant Kami's wrath.

>>42015150
>That faith in Maple.

Social link at work baby.

>D. To keep it from happening to Earth, then I am always ready.

I don't get why we'd care about that planet, all the people we knew on it died. Plus, I don't want us to have too much knowledge and have it color our actions years before it could be of any relevance.

>>42015225
He lied, because Goku's the "imma deck you in the schnozz" kind of person when it comes to tyrants. Can't let him know about evil fridges just yet, or else he'd try to fight 'em and get killed.
Though, so's Maple.
King Kai maybe you should think this plan through...

>>42015294
I suppose its our history? Something to know but not dwell on? Earth is our planet after all.

>>42015177
>>42015194
Both of these sound good.

>>42015327
Then why would King Kai tell Kami about what happened to Planet Plant/Vegeta? This is stupid.

>>42015338
That King Kai would leak this information at all except as an immediate warning is out of character.

>>42015294
In-character I think it comes down to wanting to know in order to protect our REAL home, Earth. If something caused Plant to be destroyed and it wasn't natural, it might come for Earth. Like what >>42015233 says.

>>42015364
Why is King Kai so involved with this world's events at this point anyway? We're not getting invaded by shit. All we've done is learn a technique from him and have him serve as a telephone for dead people.

>>42015385
I suppose, but this feels a bit much. I feel that Maple n' Crew would defend Earth from extraterrestrial threads with the same tenacity as they fight the threats that are from Earth.

>>42015397
Doesn't Earth technically have some of the highest collections of Power Levels in the universe, at this point? I mean we've got like a dozen people stronger than Raditz and a handful stronger than Nappa, and those were some of the strongest Saiyans. To say nothing about us with the Kaio-ken, hell, Goku is probably Zarbon tier with it. And Zarbon was one of the strongest non-Ginyus around.

Maybe he's trying to prepare us for Frieza?

>>42015397
Well. Gohan and Izumi might have convinced Earth is worth something.

Maybe our social link with him is improved with each joke.

>>42015450
I feel that these extraterrestrial threads are something we shouldn't be in the loop on until we're older.

>>42015150
>D. Nah, no spoilers, I'm waiting for Z to get into all this.

>>42015150
>D. Something else?
Let's wait on this, until we're older.

>>42015457
Well probably not with all the movies that we're going to be going through. There might also be some other backwater planets with super strong people like those cavemen in DBS.

>>42015150
>D. No need, Earth is our home, and we haven't lost it yet.

>>42015150
>A. I am

>>42015457
That's why this strikes me as being perfectly in-character for King Kai. Earth has the very real possibility of being on some really scary people's radars at this point.

Eh I think seeing it won since all those >D came in late.

And were a bit samey.

>>42016137
I don't know why we would agree IC to be on a planet about to get destroyed by a meteor shower, especially with that 100% lethal time machine Kami has now.

>>42016181
The time machine is sealed off so we won't be using that.

Thought to be fair I can't think of a reason IC for Maple to say no. Knowledge is power as they say and she trusts these two gods.

>>42016181
Because this is serious enough that King Kai and Kami are having a serious discussion about whether it should be done and thus probably shouldn't be dismissed on a whim?

>>42016181
Two of our respected mentor figures told us it's important to do so.

We owe them a lot, especially Kami since he got so much flak from the SKoT.

Plus "truth" implies that it wasn't destroyed by meteors.

>>42016137
I agree. I think the last thing I want is for us to have to go to Namek. Space is a huge place and all we see of it in the main series is some backwards color world and a villain with a huge reputation and industry backing him that dies in a single saga despite being almost unfathomably stronger than everyone else.

Now that I think about it this is probably why I like Space Arcosian quest so much. I like that Eail actually used space for something.

I wonder if Kato will just link the Bardock: Father of Goku movie here for us all to watch rather than write it out?

>>42016211
King Kai is closer to Kami on the chain of command than SKoT is.

You rub your chin. King Kai doesn't seem like he WANTS to tell you this... and maybe that's for the best. "I can guess it wasn't destroyed in a freak meteor shower, then, but... actually, that's all you need to tell us."

Kami gives a surprised reaction, and you can hear King Kai go 'Huh?'

"That planet was never really our home. Maybe where our races were from, but... Earth is our home. We can learn more some other time, maybe when we're older. But now that we know that there might be other threats out there... well, that just means we have more to train for, right, boys?"

Acer gives a shrug. "Sure. That makes sense."

Goku looks at you and nods. "Gonna have to agree with Maple on this one."

Kami's face gains a prideful smile upon hearing you call Earth your home. King Kai seems to let out a sigh of relief. 'You're wiser than I gave you credit for, Maple. My apologies... and thank you.'

"No problem." you reply cheerfully. "How about after we kick Piccolo Jr.'s butt when he comes round?"
