DRAGON BALL PARALLEL QUEST

>Welcome to Dragon Ball Parallel Quest!

>Something went very wrong at some point in Dragon Ball's recent past. You were probably supposed to stop it – but you didn’t. You awaken in strange surroundings, and quickly find yourself fighting for your life…

>Stats (Power, Agility, Stamina, Intellect, Charisma, Ki) and dice (mostly d10+modifier) will be used.

>Pay no attention to the d% rolls. They're probably not important.

The only thing you can clearly remember is a whole lot of pain. Then absolutely nothing, just a somehow terrifying sleep for you can’t even guess how long. You see flashes – a man with lavender hair, an old woman that looks like a little girl, two blue-skinned, red-clad humanoids, a swirling red-black portal, falling forever…then a very painful landing, your head connecting solidly with a rock.

You were supposed to do something. Something important. But it didn’t work. You can’t remember, though. You can barely even remember yourself…

Okay, focus. Your fretful sleep is ending, and you have a funny feeling you’ll need to get moving fast…

You open your eyes, and find yourself lying in a bed in a dark room. Getting off of the bed you lie on is a struggle, and not just because of the pounding in your head. You’re physically weakened for some reason, your every movement sluggish like you haven’t really used your muscles in days, or weeks – or longer. Still, you manage it, and are able to stand – you’re not helpless, just weakened. You take a look around the place.

>THE FOLLOWING CHOICE WILL HAVE A PROFOUND EFFECT ON THE GAME. CHOOSE WISELY.
>A1. “Why am I in a laboratory?”
>B1. “Who's house am I in?”
>C1. “Do I hear propellers?”

You idly wonder how you got here, but that quickly becomes a question for later. You hear shouting from outside – the sound of fighting! Punches, kicks, even the distinct sound of ki energy balls being thrown around, just on the other side of the door. You’ll have to move quickly.

Okay, long enough break to get things moving.

>>45070503
Maybe "room" was assuming a bit much, because as you look around you're starting to think that this might just be all there is to the house. There's a shelf with some boxes and a bed against one wall; and a chest of drawers against another, and various rustic tools scattered throughout the place. Light is provided only by a single large, circular window; it's evening outside, the sun is setting fast.

Folded neatly and set upon a nearby chair are clothes that you know somehow are yours - a shirt with tight sleeves, a long jacket with flared shoulders, loose baggy pants, and a pair of sturdy and comfortable boots. You pull them on quickly.

Outside, the sound of the fight is picking up. You hear an old man cry out in pain, and a mocking, sibilant voice hiss "Come on. You talked big, why can't you back it up, old man?"

>A. Charge!
>B. Look out the window and play things safe.

Oh, you guys missed starting in either Dr. Gero's laboratory, or Emperor Pilaf's airship, by the way. S' too bad...

Whelp, ten minutes. When rolling is involved then it *will* be first-come-first-serve since obviously averaging rolls together could throw everything off.

>>45070828
You might not know exactly where you are, but you know that good guys don't talk like that. Now that you're fully clothed, you charge for the door and out it.

The evening outside is clear and starry, but that's not what draws your attention. Right in front of the door, so close that you almost trip over him, is an old, short man in a yellow jacket, picking himself up with a look of determination on his face. He seems surprised when he notices you.

"You're awake!" he said, then smiles. "Took you long enough..."

Looking at his attacker, you're momentarily taken aback. He's a tall, green-scaled, winged monster of some kind, with a mouth full of fangs and a mocking look on his face.

"Excellent, more victims," he hisses, making 'come here' gestures with his hands. "What is it that you humans say? 'Come at me, brother'?"

Well, they do show that they do have different genders.

Which is weird since they are born from trees and not sexual reproduction...

Supreme West Kai, the East Kai and of course everyone's favorite loli, the Kai of time are all feminine.

The lesser Kais, like King Kai, are genderless. The Supreme Kais, on the other hand, seem to have genders, or at least are referred to as masculine or feminine by each other and have definite masculine or feminine builds. It's weird, but there ya go.

Vote seems to be going for male, anyway, so it's a moot point.

You fire off a ki blast at Tambourine and catch the monster in one wing, but the tongue still lashes for you. You're able to dodge it, fortunately, leaping to the side and then rushing forward again, a kick landing squarely against Tambourine's face and sending him flying - and also making him bite his tongue, which you can't help but smile it.

"Wath?!" he demands.

"Watah," you correct.

Tambourine picks himself up, breathing heavily. "You bastard!" he hisses - and then grins, opening his mouth. A ki blast forms there - but at the last second, he turns his head and shoots at the old man! No time to run in and block it - time for your signature attack!

"Bubaru BUBBLE!" You call out as you throw your ki forward. The old man is wrapped in a field of blue ki energy that stops Tamboruine's attack dead in its tracks. You strain a bit at the effort, but once Tamboruine's attack clears, the old man looks no worse for wear - if a little shocked.

Tambourine is, too. You get the feeling things don't usually survive that attack and he doesn't really know how to deal with it.

"Bubaru BUBBLES!"

You use his shock to your advantage, at least. The bubble around the old man disappears even as two more appear in front of you and launch at Tamboruine. One smacks into his stomach, another his back. The first swings around to hit his knee, then the second his arm as he tries to hold it off. Finally, to close things off, both bubbles smack into either side of his head. The monster falls over backwards.

"What...is even...happening...?" he groans.

>A. Finish him off. He's clearly a monster.

You disperse the two bubbles you used to attack him, then create another around Tambourine, trapping him inside - you don't quite feel up to maintaining three at at a time yet. For that matter, you're pretty winded from the fight. Something seems off about that...

"Oh my, thank you," the old man says, now recovered from his shock. "Bubaru Bubble, eh? Can't say I've heard of that technique before. Certainly seems to do the trick!"

"Thanks," you respond with a slight bow. "If you don't mind...who are you?"

"Oh, where are my manners," the man gives a wide smile. "Gohan's the name. Son Gohan."

Son Gohan is short, barely coming up to your chest, and clearly ancient. Yet there's a vitality to the man, which makes you even angrier that he was being attacked by a monster like Tambourine.

Said monster is now standing inside your Bubaru Bubble, striking it to try and escape. You're able to keep him in place.

"Why was he attacking you?" You ask.

Gohan shrugs. "Well, you did just save me," he says, reaching into the folds of his jacket and producing a small orange ball with four stars on it. "He didn't say it outright, but he's a servant of King Piccolo. This is the only thing he could be after: my four-star Dragon Ball."

Dragon Ball? You know about them - get all seven together and the dragon Shenron will grant you any one wish...

"Wait wait wait," you say. "King Piccolo? But isn't he dead? He was killed years ago by...by..." the name is escaping you at the moment. For that matter, so are all the details...the downside to being 2,573 years old is that you get a lot of memories and it can be hard to sort through them (to say nothing about once you start climbing into the millions)...

Or it *should* be, but you realize quite suddenly that you barely seem to have any! You remember your name, and your attacks, and little bits and pieces here and there about the Supreme Kai home planet, but...

(cont'd).

"King Piccolo?" Tambourine demands from within the Bubaru Bubble. "Dead? HA! What the Hell are you talking about? I don't care if you could beat me, you're no match for him!"

"Ah, ignore him," Son Gohan says, looking kindly at you. "Son, you hit your head something fierce awhile back. I came across you lying in a ditch with a lump the size of a softball on your noggin! Not surprised that you're a little confused..."

"I think you should explain things," you say, struggling to keep calm.

Gohan lets out a sigh, folding his hands behind his back. "Well, it's late, and the company isn't very good," he nods towards Tambourine, "so I'll make it quick. It's the year 759. For a long time the Red Ribbon Army was making chaos all over the planet, hunting down Dragon Balls. Never did find them all, though. Then two years ago an evil demon named Piccolo was released from his imprisonment by some short pointy-eared fellow. He and his demon clan wiped out the Red Ribbon Army for the most part, then started looking for the Dragon Balls themselves."

Gohan shakes his head. "The world's in a sorry state, I'm afraid."

"Not yet it isn't," Tamboruine hisses, arms crossed within the Bubaru Bubble. "Once King Piccolo has all seven Dragon Balls - then your pathetic race will learn the true meaning of terror!"

"How long was I asleep?" You ask, rubbing your head.

"A year," Gohan says soberly, shocking you. "Surprised you can even stand, let alone fight like you can! You must have really been something if you're still this good even after a year of not using your muscles at all."

After that, Gohan looks at his home sadly. "Well, it was good while it lasted," he said. "But I guess I can't stay here now. That monster might be pure evil, but he's pretty helpless right now, too. Can't just kill him, but once he's left, he'll be back with Piccolo himself."

"You shouldn't have to leave your home because of these guys," you said, indicating Tambourine. "And they're not real demons."

"Yes we are!" Tamboruine exclaims.

"No, you're not. You're Namekians. Mutants, in your case, but Namekians all the same. I might even be able to fix you..."

"Wait, what?" Tambourine demands, clenching a fist and spreading his wings as wide as his confines allow. "I don't need fixing!"

You adopt a stance with one food in front of the other, arms spread wide and eyes closed. Admittedly you only - barely - remember doing this once in your two-and-a-half thousand years of life. And that was cleansing a rabbit of evil. And not even a particularly evil rabbit at that.

Still, it's probably like riding a bike, right? Wait, you're not certain you've done that...

The Bubaru Bubble collapses down onto Tambourine as the Bubara Cleanse (you've always wondered about that spelling change, perhaps it's a sign of an inattentive Kami or something) takes effect, the ki-created and infused water washing over Tambourine. Tambourine screams rather audibly at the pain of the water invading his system, before falling over to the ground. Hovering over him is a sphere of water shot through with evil energy. With a cry, you hurl your hands upwards, and the evil-infused water launches as well, shooting up and into space, where it will eventually be drawn into and destroyed in the sun. Probably.

Right now you don't have a whole lot of time to think about it, as Bubaru Cleanse drains just about all the ki remaining to you. Before you can stop yourself, you fall over to the ground, joining Tambourine in blackness...
