Last time, on Dragon Ball Tuffle Quest Kai! The Tournament finals began, with you facing Videl as Gohan and Izumi tried their best against Chuu Lee and Number 19, and though you and Gohan were victorious, the Tournament was interrupted by the arrival of the nefarious Bojack and his Galaxy Soldiers, working under orders from Babidi to resurrect Majin Buu! Maple, Shin, Gohan, and a few others went off to deal with Babidi as Peppa and Izumi stay behind to try and stop the Herans! The tide is turning in your favor, but Bojack and Kougeki have one last trick up their sleeves. Can you stop this threat and prevent the revival of Majin Buu? Good luck, Peppa!

“Fuuuuuu...”

Time seems to slow as you see Bojack and Kougeki prepare the Fusion Dance. You can also sense another one of the Herans bolting towards you, Izumi trailing behind her as best she can. You might only have one shot at this, one shot to keep them from fusing and making all of this a dozen times more difficult. Or... maybe you can cause them to slip up ever so slightly and put them at a disadvantage, but that sounds way more difficult and could backfire on you. On the other hand, you could protect dad and uncle Raditz as they try to fuse.

Time’s running out. If you’re gonna act, you need to act now. What’ll it be, Peppa?

>A. Teleport to Bojack and Kougeki, keep them from fusing!
>B. Try to get them to mess up the Fusion!

The Fusion Dance is difficult on its own, the slightest quirk in posture similarity can produce something overly fat or thin, they really shouldn't have chosen to do this in front of us.

Okay, best bet is to try and prevent them from fusing. If they try it again maybe get them to mess up, but no need to risk that. Locking on to their Ki, you teleport past the Herans guarding the two and swing around your Power Pole, knocking down Kogu and Bido once more. However, you fail to stop Bujin, who throws forth his Ki threads to grab you. You’re immobilized, but not out of options! “POWER POLE EXTEND!”

The staff shoots forth, smacking Bojack in the gut and sending him flying. Bujin releases his grip on you to try and help Bojack. Looking back, you see everyone try to hold off the Ginyus, only for another Heran, a woman in tattered clothes and with a manic look in her eyes, grab hold of them all with more of those threads.

Izumi is close behind her though, while you can sense uncle Raditz on his way to help. But Kougeki is standing before you, weighing his options. You... then spot Vegeta fly past you, trailing where Bojack was knocked to. He... doesn’t really look like he’s in much of a rush though, and has an almost curious look on his face.

...

He wouldn’t.

...

Would he?

>A. Keep Kougeki occupied! Need to prevent them from fusing!

Bah. Forget about Vegeta, so long as he doesn’t make this worse you can afford to let him be. You instead go to Bujin, grabbing his threads and bolting back with him, trying to swing him at Kougeki... only for Kougeki to notice what you’re doing easily and dodging past Bujin, slamming his foot into your gut. You’re knocked aside, grip on Bujin released, but you’re not out yet, as you stop yourself and then fly back to him, smacking him with your Power Pole and flying him far away from Bojack. Can’t let them fuse!

Looking over you notice that Izumi’s managed to free everyone, with the little Heran lady and the mind controled Ginyus retreating over to Bujin. Okay, good, got that going for you at least. What about Vegeta...?

“GET BACK HERE YOU COWARD!” he roars out, Bojack dashing after you. Gah, he let Bojack slip past him?! Damn it Vegeta!

‘Guys, get the Ginyus and anyone else with that symbol on their heads out of the arena!’ aunt Chi-chi’s voice calls out to you. You look up and notice that she and uncle Acer are standing beside Nappa... wait, his mark’s gone! And Guldo’s there too, beside Chiaotzu, also looking normal still! And even Kuriza!

Well, no sense in looking a gift horse in the mouth, Peppa! What’ll you do?

You blast forward with Kougeki, putting some distance between yourself and Bojack, and then, after knocking him up, ready your Power Pole. With a smirk you ask, “Wanna see what I’ve got?”

“I already know. It’s a death wish!” he exclaims, trying to fire a massive wave of energy at you. But you’re already gone when he does it, telelorting behind him and delivering a hard smack to his side.

“TOO SLOW!” you shout out as you do it again, your aura sparking around you, teleporting around him over and over, moving in a swirling pattern, Wind Magic boosting every blow. The barrage causes severe damage to him, and by the end you’re able to deliver one final devastating blow, knocking him into the air. You twirl the Power Pole and throw up a Victory sign. “Piece of cake!”

It’s enough to knock him senseless for a moment, but Kougeki stops himself, seething as he looks down at you. Both he and Bojack bolt away from you, trying to get some distance again, as you follow, Vegeta bursting ahead of you. “You can’t keep running! I will be the one to put you both in your graves.

Looking back, you notice Izumi try to blast out a flurry of icy water, but not only does her attack miss, the lady Heran manages to blast her in the face. Your cousin is then grabbed by her and slammed into the ground as Chuu Lee, and Piccolo get the Ginyus out of the arena, dad and Raditz apparently readying the Fusion Dance, Bujin attempting to run only to be caught by 19, who grabs him by the neck and flies over to the lady Heran, smacking her in the back of the head with him to get her off Izzy and then in turn grabbing her by the neck. You notice that their Ki starts to drop... but then you feel a sudden odd jolt from them. And from Kogu and Bido too. Their bodies start to twitch and bulge unnaturally once more. Agh... if you leg Vegeta handle the two of them himself things might go down badly, but Izzy could be in serious trouble!

What to do, Peppa?

>A. Izumi can handle herself, you need to stop Bojack and Kougeki!
>B. Teleport to her and get her to safety!
>C. Knock the four other Herans out of the arena!
>D. Something else?

Izzy, you can still fight, right?

>E. 19, throw them up into the air! Gravity Blow to hold them in place!

You rush to your cousin’s aid, right as Izumi yells at 19 to toss up the two Herans she has. She then declares, “GRAVITY BLOW!” as a shadowy mass is launched up at them. You quickly help her up, the both of you looking at one another. Simultaneously, the two of you exclaim,

“Knock ‘em away?”

“Knock ‘em away!”

Telling your allies to get out of the way, you both get back to back, charging your Ki together, a sphere of energy surrounding both of you, swirling with Wind Magic and blast forth a massive Explosive Wave. The four Herans are blown away, along with a good portion of the city landscape and a chunk of the top of the ring.

Four bodies slam into the water outside the dome, motionless, Bujin and the lady Heran still conscious but unable to move. Izumi almost falls forward, with you catching her. “Agh... I... I think I’m out of energy now. I think I can’t feel my limbs. Oh. Oh wait there it goes. Ow.”

Chuu Lee gets to her side, giving her a Senzu Bean. “You’ve certainly put in more effort than most of us have. Great job.”

“You’re awesome, Izzy!” you proclaim, helping her sit down as she takes the Senzu.

“We’re not done yet though.” Piccolo adds in, looking over to Bojack and Kougeki. Vegeta’s managing to hold the both of them off, but just barely. “We could overpower them, but I’d rather we not risk giving them any more energy.”

“I could teleport them away.” Chuu Lee comments. “But Vegeta seems like he’s going to keep fighting no matter where they go.”

The android girl steps forward. “I have managed to drain a bit of the energy they’ve absorbed from the battles. If I can get in close with them, or perhaps drain from-”

Four explosions echo through the ring to interrupt her, 19 bringing up her barrier around everyone to shield them as that takes down most of the remainder of the dome. You see Chi-chi brought up a shield with her Spirit Bits too, Acer wiping his forehead as that seems to have kept the explosions from causing any damage to the audience. You then sense around... and realize just what those four explosions were.

“Th-they self-destructed?!” Chuu Lee exclaims.

Piccolo looks away grimly. “...They were forced to do so by Babidi. It seems that he’s finally run out of uses for them.”

“H-he killed them!? He can do that?!” Izumi yells out, shocked and disgusted.

“To prevent me from stealing any more of their energy, I’d assume.” 19 speculates.

Vegeta’s knocked over to your group, skipping across the ground. You look forward, time slowing again as your mind processes all of this. Bojack and Kougeki are trying to fuse again, and they’re almost there. You... you might get one more chance to prevent this!

“-SION! HA-”

Thanks anon!

>>3138456
You have one shot at this. You teleport to Chi-chi, telling her she needs to break Bojack’s curse. She nods, holding on to your shoulder. You teleport right in front of the two of them. “HA!”

A giant of a man stands before the two of you, his red hair long in the back and spiked up in the front, in the usual Metamor Fusion garb, laughing with satisfaction. “Hahahaha! HAHAHAHAHA! Now you’ve got no-”

“CURSE BREAKER!” Chi-chi declares, slapping her hand on his forehead, a powerful jolt of energy coming through it, something that seems to take a good bit of Ki from Chi-chi as she uses it. The fused Heran cries out in pain, swatting her aside and trying to smack you away as he clenches his forehead. He brings his hand down, slightly confused... and you sense just a little bit of his Ki drop. But more importantly, the symbol is gone. He seems... absolutely livid. “...You. YOU. I’LL-!”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfmlWhTVdn0

“HRRAAAAH!”

A fist slams into his face, sending the Heran bolting away, as another fused fighter lands beside you. He has features of both your father and uncle Raditz. He smirks, rubbing his nose, his tail swaying behind him. “All right! Man, been a while since I’ve really gotten a chance to cut loose like this.”

Chuu Lee teleports to Chi-chi, helping her stand. “Well, we’ve stopped Babidi from getting more energy, but this guy’s still plenty strong.”

Rakarot cracks his knuckles. “I can handle him. They’ve both caused enough trouble at this Tournament.”

“I could get him out of here.” she comments, taking her stance. “Just as an extra precaution.”

“Maybe. We need to still finish him quickly.” the fused Saiyan readies himself. “And I say we’re more than enough. We can do it here.”

“Whatever you guys decide on, do it quick.” Chi-chi states, giving you a quick thank you as she flies over to her daughter, making sure she’s okay.

“Dad might get disqualified if you teleport away.” you tell Teach.

“Oh yeah. Huh, that might suck.” Rakarot responds with a little pout.

“Besides, with everyone here, we can take him down together! LET’S GO!” you roar, flying forward, your aura sparking around you. You attempt to smack him with your Power Pole, only for the fused Heran to catch it.

With a smirk, he states viciously, “I didn’t get to finish. I’ll KILL YOU FIRST!”

He pulls you towards him and kicks you in the side, causing you to let go of the Power Pole as he grabs your face and slams you into the ground, running as he drags you through it, smacking you into Chuu Lee and forcing her back. He then grabs the two of you and smashes you both together, barely dodging Rakarot as he tries to get the Heran to let go.

Piccolo bolts forward with a blazing red aura, stretching his arm out in an attempt to grab. The Heran dodges it, but gets hit in the back with a Ki blast from Piccolo’s outstretched arm. You notice that with the Namekian’s other hand, he’s charging a Spiral Beam Cannon, and putting a LOT of energy into it.

You don’t have much time to wonder about it though, as you feel Ki build up in the Heran’s hands. He smirks again. “One down.” Point blank, he lifts his hand and fires in your face, knocking you into the air. Your face feels like it’s on fire, he’s way stronger than you were expecting. This... this can’t be all you’ve got, can it...?

Your eyes wander around the crowds. To the people who’ve gathered around from all over the universe to watch this. To the ones who’d fought in the preliminary rounds, and were cheering on the fighters that made it to the finals. To the people who even organized this whole thing, King Furry, Mr. Cash, even that kid Monty, holding his hands to his mouth as he sees you tumbling through the air. To your friends, who came to root for you through all of this. You see Lime and her grandfather yelling out for you to not give up. You see Pantea and Videl jumping in to help. You see Cocoa waving that banner she made for you... the banner with your face on it, and next to it, in big bold letters... the word “CHAMPION.”

Your aura flares to life. You can’t give up yet! You REFUSE to give up! You let out a roar as your power skyrockets. Your hair grows longer, and you bolt right back down as Rakarot finally manages to engage the fused Heran one on one, the two fairly even, even as the fused Saiyan has Super Saiyan 2 going for him. You’re about to change that! Your fist slams into your foe’s face, knocking him down on the ground so hard that he bounces. He tries to fly up in the air, wiping the blood from his cheek. You land and stomp your feet into the ground, holding both arms out. “RASEN...!”

Rakarot smiles at you, Chuu Lee standing beside you. Piccolo’s finally finished charging his attack, yelling out, “KAIO-KEN! TIMES TWENTY!”

Rakarot joins in next holding his hands out like yours, but turning his palms up. “ALL RIGHT! ENDER...!”

“Shiiinkuuuuu!” Chuu Lee continues.

Uncle Acer and aunt Chi-chi stand beside you all as well. “Love-Love...!”

“KAMEHAMEHAAAA!” you all roar out as you fire up at the Heran.

Above you you notice Vegeta rejoining the battle, his hands together. “FINAL... FLAAAAAASH!”

The fused form of Bojack and Kougeki seems to counter with a Final Flash-like attack of his own, barely holding all of you back. And that’s when three more voices call out. “FALCON...!”

“SHINE...!”

“PUUUUUNCH!”

“SPAAAAAAARK!”

Videl and Pantea slam into him, knocking him off-balance. His attack’s stopped, and before he can try to fire again, Izumi, flying up behind the older girls, slams her hands into him. “HELL! AND! HEEAAAAEEEN!”

The three are knocked away from the sheer force of the attack, and just in time for Piccolo’s attack to shoot through his torso. “SPIRAL BOLT CANNON!”

The combination of the drilling beam and Izumi’s Light and Shadow Magic tears through the fused Heran’s body, leaving him defenseless as he’s finally overwhelmed by the combined beams. He vanishes into dust as it shoots through the sky. You pant, dropping out of Super Saiyan 3. It’s... it’s over. It’s over!

YOU DID IT! YOU ALL DID IT! YOU’VE WON!

“They’ve done it, ladies and gentlemen! The villainous Bojack and all his crew are no more! THE EARTH HAS BEEN SAVED!”

Cheers erupt from the crowds. It’s over... it’s really over. There were a few close calls, but the Heran threat has been neutralized. You sit back, laughing a little. “Haha... hahaha... i-it’s over...”

“Not... not yet... it isn’t...” Vegeta pants out, catching everyone by surprise. “This Tournament... isn’t over yet.”

>A. ...You’re right. Who all is still able to fight?
>B. Look, Vegeta, could we get a like, quick 30 minute break to recover from that?
>C. Wait, he’s right, it ISN’T over! You need to check on mom and Gohan!

Furthermore, would y’all prefer to continue with this for the rest of the night, or switch over to Gohan first?

>Piccolo’s finally finished charging his attack, yelling out, “KAIO-KEN! TIMES TWENTY!”
Question: Shouldn't he have used the Kaio-ken to charge energy into his attack a while ago? Goku can make his kamehameha bigger with a boost in energy, but Piccolo has to charge that attack and control it to make the SBC work.

....*shrug*

Hey, maybe Piccolo's perfected the Kaio-ken to where he can cut out the middleman of his body and simply make whatever attack he's using bigger, longer, and uncrushable.

“Look, Vegeta? Can we all get like, 30 minutes? Just let everyone who’s still able to participate take a breather as we make sure there are no other stragglers or anything else that might interrupt?” Crossing your arms and glaring at him critically, you add, “You’ll need it too.”

“Besides, I’m pretty sure you and Nappa have a lot the two of you need to talk about.” Videl adds in.

Vegeta looks up at Nappa and frowns silently. Chuu Lee walks to him and hands him a Senzu Bean. “Here. So you’re at your best when the 30 minutes are up.”

He snatches it out of her hand angrily, but before taking it, he instead looks at her. Surprisingly, he actually tells her, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Chuu Lee replies. “I’d hoped for a rematch too. But looks like it wasn’t to be.”

“It wouldn’t be like before.” Vegeta declares, taking the Senzu and flying up to Nappa.

She starts passing around Senzu to everyone else, even accidentally offering one to 19, who dryly declines. “I sadly still do not have the ability to recover through legumes.”

“R-right, sorry...”

“Thanks for that boost back there, by the way.” Izumi tells her. “Though did you have to throw so hard?”

“If I recall you told me to ‘chuck you as hard as I could at that son of a-’”

Izzy quickly covers her mouth, looking back at her mother and father. “N-not in those many words.”

Chi-chi and Acer both squint at her, before deciding they’ll let it slide this time. Rakarot on the other hand picks you up and hugs you tight, exclaiming, “Now that’s the Peppa I know! Great job, kiddo! You were amazing!”

“Haha, da- ...er, unc- ...uh. Duncle?” Just what are you going to call him. You try looking for your Power Pole as you think it over.

“Huh, Duncle...?” He ponders too. “Ah, Maple’d know.”

“AH CRAP RIGHT!” you exclaim. “We need to check in with mom and Gohan!” Oooh hope everything is okay with them... ‘Ghost Pepper to Momma Bird, come in Momma Bird...’

A short while earlier...

“So, just who is this Babidi guy, again?”

“The clone of the ancient wizard Bibidi, the one who first called Majin Buu into this world.
the Supreme Kai explains to you. “He is the one who put the Demon King himself under his control, the dark lord Dabura-”

“My father.” Beelzebub interrupts, glaring at the Supreme Kai. “Watch your next words carefully.”

“-y-yes, anyway, he has scoured the universe for powerful foes to twist to his will. All in an effort to revive the one known as Majin Buu, Gohan.”

“Including Ledgic...” mom adds in. “I wish I could’ve done something sooner. If I’d known-”

“That’s why you’ve got us as backup.” Tien reminds her, pointing to Lapis, Lazuli, and Yamcha.

“Hope Krillin and Marron are okay...” Lazuli sighs out.

“They’ll be fine, sis.”

“Besides, if we don’t deal with this Babidi guy, nowhere will be safe.” Yamcha adds in.

You watch as Kibito moves past you, grumbling, “My Lord, is it really necessary that we rely on all these mortals for our work? And the demon especially-”

“I CAN HEAR YOU, YOU KNOW!” Beelzebub shouts out.

“Stick to the plan here, everyone.” Maple exclaims to keep them from arguing. “We’re coming up on them. I can sense Ledgic’s Ki... and a couple others.”

>A. Man, someone is still salty over losing to my cousin, huh?
>B. So this Buu guy, what exactly can you tell us about him? What’s he look like, what’s he do, and if he does get out, could he be sealed again?
>C. Just so we’re all clear here, what happens when we DO free Dabura from Babidi’s control?

"Beelzabub, anything we should know about your old man if we fight him?"

>D. Something else?
"Supreme Kai-Sama, Kibito-Sama, we know about Kais and deities. We speak to King Kai and worked with the Supreme Kai of Time's time Patrol before."

While you don’t say it aloud, you do think it. Seems that losing to Izzy is still a sore spot for that Kibito guy. Also does qualifying you as “mortal” make them somehow “immortal,” or is it some kind of difference that’s more nuanced? Eh, whatever. “So this Buu guy, what exactly can you tell us about him? What’s he look like, what’s he do, and if he does get out, could he be sealed again?”

He looks forward grimly. You can tell that this brings up some uncomfortable memories for him, but he resolved to explain it anyway. “Majin Buu physically does not appear very intimidating, but make no mistake, he is a monster unlike any other. His initial rampages destroyed countless worlds, and if he’s released, he will bring about a path of destruction unlike anything you’ve ever faced before. It is almost impossible to truly harm him, as his body is made out of a magical material that regenerates from even the most severe kinds of damage. His abilities are also unmatched by almost everything, as any opponent he cannot overcome, he can absorb into himself, just as he did with two of my kind during his first rampage.”

“Gohan does bring up a good point. Can he be sealed again?” Yamcha asks.

He scratches his chin. “Bibidi was the one who originally sealed him, so Babidi should know the spell as well. It could be possible, but a being such as him would be very difficult to seal.”

“Then there’s a backup plan, but let’s not lean too hard on it.” mom states.

“Speaking of, just so we’re clear here, what happens when we DO free Dabura from Babidi’s control? We don’t need to keep fighting him after that, right?”

“If need be I’ll drag him back to the Demon Realm kicking and screaming. But we need him ALIVE.” Beelzebub emphasizes to Kibito and the Supreme Kai.

“Anything we should watch out for then? Any techniques that we need to be careful of? Sis noticed that he has some kind of weird spitting thing...”

“His spit can petrify.” Beelzebub replies bluntly. “You get hit by it, you’re a gonner.”

Everyone gulps loudly. “N-noted. I’ll try not to get spat on.” Okay that’s gross and kinda worrying. Glad the Prince is on your side. “Well, uh... Mr. Supreme Kai, Mr. Kibito, you know we’ve kinda talked with deities before, right? Well... mostly mom and the others.”

“King Kai likes my jokes. Oh, also there’s a Goddess of Time, you know her?” mom questions.

The Supreme Kai does a double-take. “W-why has Chronoa-” His eyes then narrow. “...None of you have traveled through time, have you?”

Mom shakes her head. “Quite the opposite, in fact. Time Travelers came here... sorta by accident. Long story, but Beelzebub’s aunt is responsible for most of the time travel stuff, and... you called her Chronoa, yeah? Well, I guess she’s sent people to help clean up those messes.”

“...She is the Supreme Kai of Time. You should do well to listen to her, then.” The Kai rubs his forehead as if he has a headache. “This has not been the best of days...”

“We’re here.” mom states, everyone flying down lower. You see a small white structure in the distance, the “M” symbol adorning its top, Ledgic walking to it with a strange device... and Basilea leaning by the structure, looking in the distance. Your eyes trail over to where she’s looking-

“Hrk!” You cover your mouth as you see a couple corpses, a man and woman, no, a whole family... just torn apart. It’s horrific. Did... did she do that? Your stomach turns slightly as you force your eyes away.

The door opens, and out steps a giant red demon man with phenomenal strength. Beelzebub nearly stands up as he sees him, Maple pulling him back down. Guessing that’s Dabura. Accompanying him is a smaller individual, like some kind of yellow, shriveled prune. That’s... Babidi, you’d assume.

Ledgic hands over the container he was carrying, bowing to Babidi as Dabura glares at him. You notice Basilea clench her fists. She seems... angry. She then looks... right at you. RIGHT at you OH CRAP SHE SEES YOU.

...And she looks away. Dabura meanwhile seems to notice your group too... but he seems much more confused. Ledgic on the other hand turns quickly. And then he brings up his hand... CRAP HE’S FIRING A KI BLAST!

Crap! Cover’s blown! You jump up and fire a Ki blast at Ledgic’s, then power up and use it as cover as you yell out “Raio-ken!” and bolt down, trying to grab on to the Ki container... only for knock you aside, kicking you in the back of the head and into the dirt. Babidi chuckles as he looks down. “Well well well, aren’t you the spunky little monkey. I like him.” That... that voice... you’ve heard it before. Babidi then looks up at your group. “Quite a number of powerful fighters up there. Dabura. Ledgic. Kill the weakest... mm, three.”

“As you command, Master Bab-GHAK!” Mom teleports in and stops Ledgic with a palm strike that sends him back, grabbing you and pulling you away from them. Babidi enters his ship, laughing. That voice... that voice, it’s the one you heard back at the Tournament!

Dabura meanwhile tosses a barrage of spears upwards, trying to skewer your allies, Ledgic creating one of his own, pointing it at you and Maple. “...It has been a long time.”

“You’re better than this.” She glares him down. “You’re a proud warrior, and yet you let yourself get controlled.” You notice mom move her hand strangely, some Ki building up in her palm... but it feels different, somehow.

“What makes you think I’m being controlled? This symbol doesn’t own me.” He points to his head. “I merely have taken a new job, one more to my liking. So far it has not let me down. I always wanted to face you again... Maple Mahogany.”

You watch as your allies are unable to move from their position, spears digging through the rock, a few of them even striking Yamcha, Lapis, and Lazuli. So much for that plan. Tien isn’t able to get down, and mom’s busy protecting you. Agh, damn it! If only you could-!

“FAAAATHEEER!” Beelzebub roars out, the barrage of spears ceasing. Dabura looks up in shock as Prince Beelzebub leaps down from the cliff. He crosses his arms. “You have a LOT of explaining to do.”

“...My boy, is that really you?” he asks.

“It is. And YOU have a lot of explaining to do. You have been alive all this time, under the control of a creature as pathetic as THAT?!” he yells out. Beelzebub starts marching forward. “What happened to you?! Do you have ANY idea what aunt Towa has been doing in your absence? Where is the Demon King that ruled with an iron fist?!”

Babidi smirks. “I like this one too. Change of plans, come along, Dabura.”

The two of them enter the structure, Beelzebub yelling out, “I’M NOT DONE HERE YOU WALKING HAIRY BA-AGH!”

Basilea grabs him by the tail and tosses him aside. The Supreme Kai manages to get down and fire a couple Ki blasts that force her back. Curiously, you notice that she... doesn’t have one of those “M” symbols on her head. Both she and Ledgic move back, Ledgic still ready to strike at you and mom with his spear.

Up above you see Kibito tending to the wounded. Mom then telepathically contacts you, ‘Do what you can to distract them. I’m going to put my theory to the test, and free Ledgic.’

Okay, then you need to keep Basilea away from her! Here goes! As Babidi and Dabura travel down into the structure, your hair stands up as you transform into a Super Saiyan, tackling her away from Beelzebub and knocking her down. “So, you don’t have that mark on your head, where do you have it?!” you exclaim, confusing her thoroughly.

Her eyes narrow. “...I thought you were supposed to be the smart one.”

“Grades are higher than Peppa’s by a bit.” you tell her cheekily. Distraction working.

She holds up her hand. “Hell Blitz.”

A black and red Ki blast shoots forth, with you dodging it and racing around her, her anger building as she fails to land a blow on you, afterimages catching her off-guard and exploding on her. “RGGH... so are you more of a coward than him? Or is this more the result of living in your sister’s shadow?”

“Big talk for someone who got her butt kicked by her.” She wants to go with the low blows, you’ll go even lower. You grab her outfit by some of the waist furs, Basilea growling out at you and almost stabbing her hand into your throat, but you’re able to trip her up with a leg sweep and cause her to faceplant.

You see mom and Tien surround Ledgic, Lapis and Lazuli dodging around him, giving them a chance to try and grab hold with Yamcha. The Supreme Kai also helps out, thrusting his hands forward and telekinetically grabbing the alien, holding him in place. Ledgic responds to this by somehow shooting out a sword at him, stabbing him through the leg, but the Supreme Kai manages to hold him in place. With Ledgic pinned down, mom and Tien both place their hands on his head.

“Remember who you are! Don’t let Babidi control you! You’re better than this, I know you are!”

“LET... GO!” He tries to shake them off. “I SERVE... THE STRONGEST...”

“That isn’t what you set out to do! You set out to fight and improve! To be better, to fight stronger opponents and test yourself! You’re nobody’s slave! You need to remember that!” Maple and Tien seem to be getting through to him. “NOW! CURSE...!”

“BREAKER!”

A jolt of energy seems to travel down his body. Ledgic yells out in pain for a moment... but then stops, his eyes opening. “...W-what did... what did you do?”

Mom, Tien, and Yamcha let go of him. His hand rubs his forehead... and the mark is gone. His power’s dipped a little lower than before, but other than that he seems... normal. For relative term of it. Basilea looks up in disbelief... as you hear clapping.

“Bravo. Braaavo. Your little trick worked.” Oh. Oh boy you were wondering when she’s show up. The clapping continues, slow and... not quite mocking, but somehow rude. Can you clap rudely?

“Aww, and here I was thinking that you’d moved on to someone else.” Maple places her hands on her hips. “Was this all part of one of YOUR big dumb plans?”

“YOU!” Beelzebub seethes out as he glares at her. Basilea gets away from you, moving to her side.

Towa walks forward, flanked by Basilea... and a large figure you’d know immediately even if you’d never seen him before. A tall, black-haired man with a very displeased look on his face... a Saiyan. “Oh little Tuffle girl, you have no idea what I’ve been planning. Or rather... what WE’VE been planning. Isn’t that right... Broly?”

>>

Yeah, I had fun.

I hope my comments about Izzy's speech aren't taken seriously, a quest is a quick, live thing that can't be proof-read. They aren't real criticisms.

So, should I cut you more slack? Yes.
Is Izzy's speech impediment a fun time for me? Also yes.

You gulp as you see the Saiyan glare down at you. He... hoo boy he’s angry. But he seems oddly more... directed. Like he’s in control of it. For now. This worries you even more. Mom however doesn’t seem worried... she looks sad. Broly snorts as she tries to say something. “Don’t. Not a word.”

“Easy now. We have a reason for being here.” Towa reminds him.

“You have a reason for being here. My goal merely intersects with yours... for now.” Broly spits out at her, then glares at you and mom.

Towa smirks. “Of course, Broly.”

Beelzebub seethes as she walks forward. “You have some nerve showing your face-!”

“Save it.” Towa waves her hand dismissively. “You’d be dead the moment you tried it. And you dying would put a detriment in both your and my plans.”

“Princess Towa.” the Supreme Kai addresses, the Demon woman giving him a look of disgust, his attendant looking back at her like he’s ready to yell out a swears in a million different languages as he heals his master. “Why are you here? What do you want?”

“In truth I would want nothing more than watch you fall into despair as everything you worked so hard to prevent comes to pass... but doing so puts my goal at risk.” Her fingers stroke up her staff as she looks Maple right in the eyes. “You have one chance with this. This is no experiment. I intend to truly see if your lot can live up what I expect of all of you. Time is of the essence for all of you, as Babidi? His minions continue to gather strength for Buu’s restoration. The Heran and his new friends fight against your allies... and children. Every drop of blood they spill, every bit of energy they expend, all goes to fueling Buu. You’re on a time limit.” She leans forward, smirking down at your mother. “And I propose a little... game.”

Mom looks up at her. “Let’s say I humor you. What ‘game’ are you proposing?”

“Babidi has a little gauntlet of fighters ready for any intruders. I say we compete against one another in that gauntlet.” She looks over to Beelzebub, chuckling to herself. “The prize... I think we both know what it is.”

“Do you think Babidi would really agree to this?” mom questions.

Towa looks upwards, smiling smugly. “...It seems he does.”

“You’re not the type to gamble everything on this. What’s your real game here?” Beelzebub asks accusingly.

“That’d be telling, wouldn’t it?”

Kibito yells out at her, “This is an obvious trick! Do you take us for fools?”

Towa laughs at him mockingly. “I remind you all that your time is limited. Agree to this and that will be the extent of our involvement here. Otherwise... well, I can’t guarantee that this will go the way you want it to.”

Maple takes a deep breath, then looks at the Supreme Kai. “Stopping Buu’s resurrection needs to come first. And we still have Dabura under Babidi’s control... what do you guys say?”

“Yeah this totally smells like a trap. I’m not the only one who’s getting that vibe, right?” you ask aloud.

“The boy has a point. Do we really have any reason to believe she will keep her word?” Kibito questions.

“You could sit around debating all you want, it just makes Buu inch ever closer to resurrection.” Towa responds smugly.

Ugh. She didn’t deny it. Great. “Guess we don’t have much choice in the matter anyway. All right mom, I’m with you. I trust your judgement on this.”

“We’ll be able to handle whatever you or Babidi throw at us.” Yamcha calls out.

“Ehh... still don’t like this.” Lapis states.

“Same.” Lazuli agrees. “But I came here for a reason.”

“I wouldn’t let any you handle this alone. I’m in.” Tien affirms.

“...Tch. You better not pull any tricks with dad.” Beelzebub grumbles out.

“W-what are you all doing?!” Kibito exclaims. “Have you mortals lost your minds?! We just agreed that this is a trap-”

“No, I can see the reasoning behind this.” the Supreme Kai halts him. “It means we keep a close watch both on her and on Babidi. We can tolerate this, for now.”

“...As you wish, sir.”

You and mom nod at one another. “So how are we gonna do this, rock-paper-scissors, or...?”

“Something like that.” Towa seems way too proud of herself. “Be patient, Gohan.”

“Okay, how about you L-” The large blue alien pushes past you and your mother, his face stern and... more than a little upset. “...Ledgic? What are you doing?”

“Did I ASK for you to come and try to ‘rescue’ me?” he asks accusingly.

“But I-”

“But nothing.” Ledgic growls out.

“Hmnh. Just as I thought.” Broly adds in, his eyes narrowing. “You really can’t keep out of other people’s business.”

Mom quietly glares at the two of them, then shakes her head. “...Fine. I won’t press the issue.”

Ledgic looks over Broly for a second, apparently recognizing him. He then decides to stand beside him and Towa. “I guess you could say I’m in. And don’t think I’ll take ‘no’ for an answer.”

Towa gives an oddly friendly smile. “A temporary alliance. I can agree to this.”

“Keyword temporary.” Ledgic affirms.

Kibito and Beelzebub both look like they’re ready to chew him out, when Shin raises his hand to hold them back. “Is everything agreed upon then?”

“Yeah. Let’s do this.” Maple stands firm, fists clenched.

“Come along then.” Towa heads into the structure with her group, yours following... huh. It’s an elevator of some sort? Oh, wait, it’s just a hole in the floor. Weird. One after another you all leap down it.

“Well well well, you all took your sweet time.” Babidi’s voice calls out from the room you enter into, a circular one with a few doors on the sides. “And you agreed to her game? Perhaps I’ve overestimated the smarts of you lower life forms.”

Towa rolls her eyes. “Yes yes, they’re a bunch of idiots. Send out your first fighters already.”

One of the doors open. Out steps a man in white armor and blue jumpsuit, and behind him some... large blobby creature that jiggles as it walks, the both of them with an “M” symbol on their heads. The Supreme Kai is surprised to see them, while Mom scratches her own head as she watches the larger creature. “I... swear I’ve seen that thing before.”

“You have.” Towa affirms, smirking. “Now, who will it be? Which of your group wants to step forward to face these two? You’ll be competing directly against one of my allies as you do.”

“I’ll take a shot at these guys. Rock-paper-scissors, anyone?”

Kibito frowns at you. “...You weren’t actually serious were y-?”

Lapis moves to you. “I’m game. Sis?”

“Eh. Fine.” Lazuli shrugs and steps forward as well. “Jan...”

“Ken...”

“Pon!”

Paper. Good ol’ Paper, just like uncle Acer taught you. They never expect Paper. Mom almost always picks Rock for some reason. And looks like so did Lapis and Lazuli. They both snap their fingers in disappointment as you grin cheekily, walking forward. “So, like, how’s this work exactly, Towa? Two on one, two on two...? And who’ll I be-”

“Paper!” Basilea and... Broly both shout out. And Basilea too picked Paper. Aaaand Broly picked Rock. He grumbles as he steps away, the demon girl looking at you and grinning sadistically. “Just my luck today. I get my chance to kill you at last.”

“You and Basilea will be competing against one another, then, as you both try to defeat the two before you.” she explains. “Best two out of three. Whoever takes out two opponents first will be the victor.”

Kibito and the Supreme Kai just... sort of stand there, stunned. “...They’re serious.”

“Mom, where might you have seen that thing before?” you ask Maple, pointing at the jiggling alien.

“Hmm... must have been from I was very young. Think it might be very resistant to normal attacks. Keep your guard up.”

“Hey! What am I, chopped liver?!” the other alien shouts out angrily.

“If that.” Basilea snorts dismissively, her eyes focused entirely on you.

“Why you...!”

Her dark aura surrounds her as she looks up, her Ki skyrocketing. “...Soon. Soon it’ll be all over.”

“You gonna comment cryptically on everything, or you gonna fight?” you ask as you power up yourself, hair going blonde as you transform.

“Fight?” Basilea repeats. “I’ll MASSACRE you, Gohan!”

>A. Nope! Dodge away from her and focus on the other two!

Thunder Blade was given to Maple by Beelzebub when returned from the negative corrupted world he got powered up from, for Shura's Sword.

Then it got upgraded to Rainbow.

Speaking of. Beelz can use Shura's Sword to open doors and dimensions. So that's handy.

“Haha NOPE!” you yell out as you jolt away from her, Basilea chasing you around the arena and trying to grapple you. The Chopped Liver alien tries to fire a few blasts at you, only for you to deflect them back at him, knocking him down as you get behind the larger alien. You stick your tongue our and blow raspberries at Basilea as the monster tries to grab you too, only for you to dodge it as well, keeping the bigger alien between you and Basilea as you smack around the other one.

“STAND STILL DAMN IT!” she yells out, throwing a fierce punch in your direction, only for it to hit an afterimage... that ends up with her fist getting lodged into the monster’s belly. And seems like it’s not that easy pulling it back out. The beast chuckles... then shoots blasts of lightning from its antenna at Basilea, shocking her, completely unphased by its own attack as electricity coats it. Well. Now that’s tricky.

Mom snaps her fingers. “Gohan! Your sword! Slice it!”

Ah, now there’s an idea! You take your stance, getting your blade out of its Capsule, and close your eyes. In one smooth motion, you slash forward with a draw-cut, crackling with Lightning to keep you safe from its self-electrocution, lopping off one of its arms. Basilea tries to pull her arm out again, and in rage opening her mouth wide and... biting down on the monster’s flesh, tearing it away to free her arm. It oozes out a strange fluid from its wounds, surprised that either of you could damage it.

Basilea spits out the chunk of flesh she tore off, then focuses back on you, letting out a blast of flames from her mouth. You leap up, then channel Ki through your sword, slashes of energy tearing through the monster, chopping it into pieces.

“That’s one." Towa comments, apparently amused by Basilea’s behavior. “Shame, too, Jigglers can be fairly useful... but they have their weaknesses. Also you really should hurry this along, my dear. You don’t want to be upstaged by this one too.” Basilea seethes, trying to lunge at you again. You just need to take out the other one and you’ll be good...

“MASTER BABIDI!” he calls out. “Please, allow me to take this fight to my world!”

Wait what?

“What’s so special about your world?” you ask him, trying to dodge Basilea as her attacks get closer and closer.

“Planet Zoon has gravity TEN times that of this world! You’d stand no chance there!” He laughs at this, like he doesn’t really realize the flaw in this logic.

“Only ten? Mr. Vegeta found a place with 900x Earth’s gravity. Did start with a ‘Z’ though.” you reply as you dash towards him. “I mean if, your master wants me to have a real challenge...”

‘Did it now?’ Babidi’s voice asks in your mind. ‘How interesting. But unnecessary.’

That distracts you long enough for Basilea to grab your tail and fling you down, slamming her fist into your gut to keep you down. You try to move, but can barely even block as she tries to pummel you. The demon girl gets up and tries to stomp down on you, but you roll out of the way just in time, then use the Raio-ken to bolt away from her and towards the other alien. “BURNING... CRUSHER!”

Grabbing on to him, you lift him above you and let out a firey blast that engulfs the alien. He’s blasted away from the raw power of your attack, only ashes remaining. You then look to Towa. She shrugs. “That’s two. Congratulations, Gohan.”

“Grrhh... you did well this time, but we’re not done just yet.” Babidi calls out to you all. The bottom of the floor opens up. “You may continue to the next set of challengers.”

You limp over to your mother, Basilea looking like she’s ready to attack you again, but Towa holds her hand up. “No. You know what we agreed to.”

“...Yes, ma’am.” she grumbles out, walking back to her group. “You got lucky this time, Gohan.”

“I’ll say.” you wheeze, holding your chest. Mom sits you down by her, healing your wounds a bit.

“We don’t have much time left, let’s continue.” the Supreme Kai requests, heading down first, Kibito and Beelzebub following as Towa’s group heads in after them.

Mom checks you over, making sure you’re okay. “...You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to, Gohan. I don’t want you to hurt yourself trying to impress us.”

“And hey, if you’d rather take a breather, I can understand.” Yamcha comments, patting your head.

>A. No, no, I’m good for the next round. Rock-paper-scissors again, anyone?

“B-breather might be good, y-you guys go ahead.” Ow. Oww...

“Okay. We’ll be fine, Gohan, don’t you worry.” Yamcha gives you a thumb’s up, then heads down first, Tien nodding to Maple and following, with Lapis and Lazuli going in after them.

“...Son, please, don’t push yourself.” mom requests, still healing you.

“It’s, agh, more Towa’s group that’s the issue here. Those guys were, tch, kinda pushovers.” you tell her as your wounds heal up.

“That’s not what I mean and you know it.” Maple frowns at you.

You sigh loudly. “Hey, Basilea’s the maladjusted one. I’m not trying to hurt myself to impress you all, promise. I know how dangerous she is, I saw how she fared against sis. I acted accordingly.”

“Right. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t worry me, Gohan.” Mom stands up, looking over to the hole in the floor. She seems... distracted.

You stand with her. “Are you, uh, sensing anything from your Eightfold Path thing, mom? Foresight? Anything at all?”

She clenches her fists, notably not looking back at you. “...Yeah. I know Towa is up to something. I know Babidi is too. They’re both either plotting something together, or expecting to stab one another in the back as soon as it’s convenient. But... it’s weird, Towa isn’t usually this casual around us. Maybe she’s changed a bit, maybe she’s got some more nefarious goal in mind. All I know is that it involves more than just Dabura... potentially one of us. And that worries me more than anything.”

...She knows more than she’s letting on, but something’s worrying her. She’s trying to not tell you what it is. What’s wrong? She knows you can handle yourself, right? Or... is she trying to not say it aloud so it’ll attract attention? ‘Mom, they can’t read our thoughts, right? Come on, you can-’

Her head jolts up. “YAMCHA!” She grabs hold of your arm and teleports you both to Tien... and suddenly you’re in some pitch black cave. Wait, no, there’s a light so... s-s-source...

“I said stay out of my way.” Ledgic demands, holding Yamcha up... a spear through his chest. Ledgic tosses him away, the spear lodging itself in a wall as he walks towards his opponents, a large green monster with massive claws protruding from its forearms, ones that look almost like swords, and some kind of... red robot? It’s where the lightsource is coming from, a sort of humanoid figure with looks like a furnace in his chest.

The large green monster tries to slash at Ledgic, only for him to form a pair of swords and stop the monster’s giant claws. The robot marches towards him, its giant metal fist coming down... only for Ledgic to dodge it and cause it to strike the green monster’s leg, snapping it and causing it to stumble. Ledgic then brings up a bright crimson blast and fires at the robot, sending it crashing through the cave wall and eliminating the lightsource.

You hear ferocious slashing and stabbing come from just a short distance away, the sound of blades cutting into flesh echoing through the cave. Then... silence. Your heart skips a beat, Yamcha’s strength slowly fading... and then you sense him come closer. Is... is he still alive? Footsteps. Not... not Yamcha’s. Light fills the area again as you see him form a small sphere of Ki, dragging Yamcha behind him with his spear, still lodged in Yamcha’s chest, as he... drags the severed arm of the green monster with his free hand.

He flings Yamcha to your side, mom and Tien quickly attempting to help him. “I believe that is two.”

“Indeed it is. Though the Metalman is still conscious, I can’t say the same for the little human over there.” Towa smugly looks down at you, the red light making her look even more sinister.

You’re returned to Babidi’s ship, Lapis and Tien removing the spear as mom tries to heal up his wound. “Damn it, don’t die on us, don’t die on us!” You notice that near one of the doors, there seems to be... some remains of the green monster. Notably the broken leg and a hand. And only that, the rest just... gone.

>A. ...You just made an enemy, Ledgic

You hold your hand to your mouth. No, no no no please no. You hurry to Yamcha’s side, trying to help stabilize him. Yamcha groans in pain, turning slightly as mom tries to heal his wound. There’s... there’s a lot of blood... so much blood... j-just like... just like when dad...

No. No you’re not going to lose him! You and mom look each other in the eyes. One chance. Following her motions, you gently push some of your Ki into him, mom healing up his wound, Kibito coming over to help as well. The three of you... manage to stabilize him, keeping him from dying of bloodloss. He’s still out cold... but he’s not in any critical condition. All of you let out a sign of relief.

“That... that was too close...” Mom... mom’s hands are shaking.

You... fall over on your side. Everything around you seems to start swirling. You’re... you feel sick. Like you’re about to throw up. You pant heavily as you feel someone shake you, but your vision is blurred and you just see...

‘You really think it’s a good idea just letting them do as they please?’ a voice calls out to you. ‘It could happen again. And next time you might not have someone who can heal. What if it’s your mother? What if it’s... someone even closer?’

Red...

‘I can’t. I can’t. I won’t.’

Red...

‘The tall one wants to murder your father, Gohan. You have a chance to stop him.’

Red...

‘Stop...’

Red...

‘To stop all of them. To save your friends.’ The voice... it was fuzzy before, but it’s becoming clearer.

RED...

No.

You’re better than that.

‘...Get out of my head, Babidi. Your trick isn’t going to work on me. You can’t sway me to your side any more than you can read my thoughts.’

There’s... a chuckle. ‘How are you so sure?’

‘I’d never fall for your trick. That may have scared the hell out of me, but my heart’s pure.’

The chuckle becomes... mocking laughter. ‘You? Pure of heart? You’re jealous of your sister, you are terrified of staying in her shadow. Just like your uncle does to your mother. You try so so hard to pretend you’re a good and moral kid but deep down you’re angry. You think they’ll never take you seriously. I know your type all too well, boy.’

‘It’s not going to work.’

‘I don’t need to read your mind to see that deep down, your heart is tainted.’ Babidi continues to laugh and mock you. ‘Oh, you still doubt me don’t you? Call that cloud of yours. See if you can still ride it.’

‘I can.’

‘You won’t.’

“GOHAN!”

Your eyes shoot open. Mom pulls you to her and hugs you tight. Everyone around you asks if you’re okay. Your... head still feels like it’s spinning a bit, but you think you’re fine. For... for now. The Supreme Kai leans down to you. “...You were able to resist, yes?”

You nod. “He can’t read my mind. He’s got no leverage over me.” You’re saying that more to assure yourself than anyone else. You see Towa standing with Broly, Basilea, and Ledgic still, a smug, satisfied grin still on her face. Ledgic seems to barely care that he nearly killed Yamcha. You glare at him. You’ll be ready if he tries something like that again.

Mom holds your shoulders. “Son, you’re okay, right?”

“Not feeling any sudden urges to destroy us all?” Lapis questions, his sister elbowing him in the ribs for that.

You look down at your hands. “...Mom, I-I’m a good kid, right?”

>>
>>3141617
I was kinda rooting for Gohan to get that tattoo because of all those jerks on "our" side. I know it's the dumb thing to do, but I think Gohan no longer wants these demons and aliens breathing if they keep this up.
>>
>>3141617
Great times were had Kato. Boy, Gohan is having the worst day. Glad that he was able to get through that, but damn. Damn.

I think Towa might be trying something with Gohan. And it worries me even more than what Babidi might try.
>>
>>3141617
So, we resisted Babidi. But can we accept? No more Broly, no more Basilea, no more Ledgic, and no more Towa if all goes well, though Towa's blueberries might whisk her away.
>>
>>3141617
And I thought he was doing better with his complex. Good on him for holding out though.
I do have to wonder how long it's going to be before Gohan bugs out on his own to get gud.

Good run, looking forward to tomorrow.

A spy in the Majin ranks, would that be possible? Who's strong enough to accept but not be truly controlled?
>>
>>3141944
Accepting means fundamentally compromising yourself. Thinking you're going to fall under the power but retain yourself sounds like the exact kind of false logic it uses to lower their defenses.

If it actually worked, the person would have to have a partitioned off false mind to be controlled. And no I don't think Launch could do that either.
>>
>>3141950
>If it actually worked, the person would have to have a partitioned off false mind to be controlled.
His Wrath. Besides, the person would always be controlled with that metaphorical bomb collar around their necks. If that person could get close enough to Babidi is another story.

Mom’s confused by your question, needing a moment to really register what you asked. “...O-of course, son. Sweetie, you’re good kid. Don’t let him get to you.”

“Come now, I’d expected a little better from you than that. He was barely even trying.” Towa calls out to you both critically and mockingly.

Basilea laughs. “You’re certainly comparable in physical strength, but your strength of will is... lacking.”

Broly snorts. “Hnmh. Kakarot better not be as big a disappointment.”

Your fists shake. They’re trying to provoke you. They... they won’t get to you. Neither will Babidi. Mom places her hands on your shoulders. “...Gohan, it’s okay. You’re a good kid. I can see it inside you.”

“Maple.” Beelzebub addresses her, a stern and resolute face staring down Towa. “We need to focus. Both you and Gohan. If this happens again while we’re fighting my father... it could go south very quickly.”

“...Prince Beelzebub is right. We need to be focused.” the Supreme Kai reluctantly agrees. He looks right at you. “Gohan, will you be able to continue with us? Or would you rather call it quits?”

>A. I’m staying, don’t worry about me
>B. Y-you guys trust me, right? Right?
>C. I won’t let Towa and her goons hurt anyone else!

So, what are the biggest complaints Gohan has with this situation?

My list is:
>He doesn't get why Mom is allying with Towa. He gets the point of Allies of Convenience, but these Allies are way not so. In fact, the stab in the back has already come and gone. Leave the Senate Room before the next one comes.

>He doesn't get why they should be freeing Demon King Dabura, the man had to consent to Babidi's control either willfully or involuntarily because he's shitty. As seen with Ledgic, he's probably going to be shitty. And he's Towa's brother? Well she turned out fucking great, didn't she?

>He doesn't get what his mom sees in all these people that keep bothering them. She talks up Broly, Basilea, and Ledgic like they're just forced to be that way from their environment, but he can see that with no slave crown, no demon possessing them, and no Majin mark, they're all just like that (DICKS) of their own free will.

“I’m not going to bite off more than I can chew, but I’m not going to sit back and let Towa or her goons try something like that again. I have people to protect, and I won’t let them hurt anyone else if I can help it. I’m staying. Don’t worry about me.” You glare over at Basilea. She thinks she’s getting the last laugh here. She’s going to be disappointed.

“Okay son.” Mom gives you a quick hug.

“How touching. But I think it’s about time we get to the main event.” Towa smirks, heading down the hole in the floor. You can sense something powerful down there. Something... dangerous.

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

You all head in after her, and before you stands... him. The Demon King, Dabura. “...Towa.”

“Brother.” She steps forward slowly, Beelzebub doing the same. “It’s almost time.”

He closes his eyes. “...Indeed. Buu will be restored. The fighters at the Earthlings’ little tournament are proving quite useful. Clever though, far more than I was expecting from their kind.”

“These Earthlings aren’t the slackers from when you left, father.” the smaller Demon states. “They’ve grown strong. And I’ve grown stronger.”

There’s... a very brief smile on Dabura’s face. A proud, fatherly smile. It... it genuinely reminds you of dad, whenever he saw you or sis do something impressive. It vanishes quickly as he closes his eyes again. “Who will be the ones facing me?”

“Broly, do you wish to test yourself against my brother?” Towa asks, though from the look on her face she seems to already know the answer.

He snorts, then glares at you and mom. “Depends.”

Beelzebub returns to your group, looking to both Tien and mom. “It has to be one of us then.”

“If we want this to succeed.” Tien speaks calmly, but focused and ready.

“...Son, can you trust me on this?” Maple asks you.

>A. Yeah. But if anyone gets into any trouble I’ll pull them out of the fire
>B. Wait, let me try to soften him up just a bit, so he isn’t as much a hassle when one of you fight him
>C. We’ll rock-paper-scissors for it. Fair?
>D. Something else?
>>
>>3143458
>D. Why should I? You're planning to free him, right? Why not just kill him and be done with it, it'll save us a hassle in the future from that Blue Bitch.
That's what we think, our words are,
>D. Yup, totally trust you.
>>
>>3143412
Some pretty good points. But we also have to consider what Towa said before. Playing along keeps her from interfering with anything else, for now. Still, justifiable apprehension to all this.

You do your best to hold back some... much darker thoughts than you were expecting yourself to have. Deep down you trust her, but at the same time you’re worried. You know he might end up like Ledgic once he’s freed. Heck, scratch the “might” part. But... this is mom’s decision, her choice to make. “Yeah. But if anyone gets into any trouble, I’ll pull them out of the fire.”

Tien and Beelzebub look towards one another, then to your mother. “Jan...”

“Ken...”

“Pon!”

Mom... picks Rock. While Tien and Beelzebub pick Scissors. She nods respectfully to the Demon Prince. “I’ll save him. I promise.”

To your surprise... Towa steps forward as well. “I shall be your opponent then, Maple Mahogany. Unless you wish to take my place, Broly?”

“No.” he growls out. “Not yet.”

...Yet?

“Towa. Last time I’ll remind you.” mom calls to her. “It’s SON-Mahogany.”

“While I’m sure your little confrontation is exciting and all, how about we take a change of scenery?” Babidi’s voice suggests. “Paparapapa!”

In an instant, the floor changes from ship interior to some strange, rocky wasteland with a... very odd atmosphere. The air has an almost eerie... not smell, not taste, but some other sensation to it, in addition to the slightest hint of sulfur and... blood. The skies are tainted pink, and the water seems to be of a similar color. Beelzebub and the Supreme Kai both gasp out. “Here?!”

“So I have returned home once more.” Dabura exclaims, opening his eyes. “Sister. I will not go easy on you. You understand this, right?”

“Of course, dear brother. I have planned for this all too well.” Towa smirks. A dark aura similar to Basilea’s erupts around her as her Ki suddenly skyrockets... way above what you thought she was capable of. WAY above it. Her appearance likewise changes, her outfit transforming slightly, sleeves detaching from her upper body.

Maple gives her a cheeky look. “Showing off even more skin than usual? You just can’t resist flirting with me can you?”

“You really do think too highly of yourself, little Tuffle girl.”

“I just try my best.” Mom likewise powers up, yelling out, “KAIO-TEN!” A white aura surrounds her, condensed and focused, the strongest around her chest. She smiles, then calls out, “SAMMA VACA!”

Dabura’s surprised as his Ki drops, which mom takes advantage of by binding him in place with some kind of cloth. As she rushes towards him, Towa appears in front of her, trying to stab at mom with her spear. Mom dodges, in one smooth motion drawing her sword and slashing upwards at where Towa tried to stab, sparks of Lightning jetting out from it as the spear’s knocked away.

Towa however seems to have anticipated this, teleporting away from Dabura and to her spear, grabbing it and flinging it back to the ground. A dark, shadowy form of magic forms at her fingertips, and Towa draws an infinity symbol in the air... which also appears on the ground. Dabura finally breaks free of his restraints, escaping as dark power erupts from beneath him. Mom manages to dodge it by teleporting to Towa, first trying to slash down at her with her blade and then letting out an Explosive Wave, sparking with Lightning too to try and catch Towa off-guard.

But she saw that coming, and holds her hand forward, blocking the attack with a barrier of her own. “Come now, you have to be trying harder than that.”

“I am.” Maple declares with a smirk. Suddenly her Spirit Bits shoot out from her, ten of them surrounding Towa and forming a barrier AROUND her barrier, trapping her there as Maple meteors down to Dabura, holding her free hand out. “MP BUSTER!”

The Demon King dodges, thrusting his palm forward and firing out a ring of Ki from it. Maple teleports away from it and to Towa, leaving an afterimage behind that is crushed when the ring of Ki hits it. Towa’s spear flies up and shoots into the barrier formed with mom’s Spirit Bits, Towa twirling it to break them apart... and then somehow taking control of them herself! She commands mom’s Spirit Bits to harass her, only for mom to have somehow anticipated THAT and jet forward past them, firing a point-blank wave of Ki that knocks Towa down to the ground.

Dabura then starts spitting upwards at Maple, only for her to counter with a barrage of slicing Ki waves from her blade, destroying them before they can reach her, then reversing the grip on her sword and slashing with it twice, an X-shaped beam firing towards Dabura. The Demon King forms a sword of his own and cleaves the beam in two, lunging upwards and slashing down with it. Mom blocks the blade, nearly avoiding a dark beam fired from Towa’s spear.

Finally you realize why mom was keeping the focus of her Kaio-Ten around her chest as you notice she’s building up a substantial amount of energy there. A trio of Spirit Bits even larger than herself form behind her. “SAMA VACA!” mom declares again, Dabura’s Ki dropping. “TRINITY SPARK!”

(cont.)
>>
>>3143884
Just as the Demon King looks like he’s about to be hit by the blast, he suddenly vanishes, Towa taking his position and forming a barrier around herself. A massive explosion erupts through the air, a blinding light causing you to shield your eyes. Your skin tingles slightly from the massive amount of electricity it releases. As your vision returns, you see that even THAT was what mom was planning, Towa taking Dabura’s place and everything, as she then follows that up with an electrified headbutt against Towa, followed by an icy punch to her face, then a sparking kick to knock her down.

Suddenly the position of her Kaio-Ten focus has moved again, this time to her hands, once more engaging Dabura in swordplay, the two fairly even as they clash. “Your skills are phenomenal. My sister was right to praise you.”

“And you’re every bit as strong as I’ve heard, Mr. Demon King.” Mom seems to be trying to disarm him, each slash she makes giving off more power than the last. You also hear her mutter things under her breath... sounds like each of her Noble Eightfold Path techniques. Ditthi to see where the next strike comes from and counter, Sankappa to guard herself when she does, Vaca to lower Dabura’s strength when she strikes back, Kammanta to restore her own strength, Ajiva to... boost Towa? What the...? Mom then calls out Samma Vayama under her breath, and then forms another barrier, adding Samma Sati as another one of Towa’s massive blasts of Magic... all of it hitting Dabura instead.

“SAMMA SAMADHI!” Maple finally screams as she jumps up through the fading energy, blasting down and slamming her hand on Dabura’s head. “REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE! CURSE...!”

“BREAKER!” TOWA somehow adds as she grabs the back of his head.

https://youtu.be/NH1nFWO-U5c

A couple sounds that’ll haunt your nightmares enter your ears. First something like shattering glass, as you feel Dabura’s Ki drop a bit... and second the sound of something stabbing into flesh. Mom succeeded... and she’s been stabbed right through the chest in doing so, by Towa’s spear. And mom’s sword seems to be lodged in Towa’s arm. No... no... NO... NO! “MOOOOOOM!”

“MAPLE!”

Without thinking, you bolt away from everyone and right to your mother, grabbing her and pulling her from danger. As you do, however, you’re unable to stop Towa from grabbing on to Dabura. She smirks at you, and... teleports away. You get mom to Kibito, sensing her strength being drained.

“Gohan, stand back, I will heal her.” he demands.

Your body twitches. “...Very well. Guess that’s all I’m good for.” Under your breath, you add, “Creating death...”

Kibito looks up at you with concern, but quickly attends to your mother’s wounds. Tien tries to place his hand on your shoulder. “Gohan-”

But all you see is just... red. Can’t let them get away. Can’t let them get away! CAN’T LET THEM GET AWAY! “TOOOOWWAAAAAAAAA!”

Trying to sense where she and Dabura went to, just... blasting forth in their direction. Only to get clothesline'd by Broly, the larger Saiyan knocking you down. “Now where do you think you’re going?”

“OUT OF MY WAAAAAYY!” you scream, powering up to Super Saiyan 2 and bolting back up. Basilea grabs hold of your tail, but that doesn’t slow you down. You turn and quickly fire a Kamehameha at her, both knocking her off you and launching you forward once more... and right into Broly’s massive hand.

He blasts you and forces you back, but you manage to stop yourself in midair this time, absolutely LIVID... until you notice that Broly is substantially bigger than he was just a few moments ago. Crap, that form... no, no you need to keep going! Broly points at you. “Is this really all you can muster, boy? I hope you can at least give me a warm-up for Kakarot.”

‘You’re in quite the pickle, aren’t you, little Gohan?’

“SHUT UP.” you yell both at Broly and at Babidi.

‘You know... I might be able to help you. I can take you right to them. She did just steal one of my best fighters. Or would you rather get some help dealing with this brute?’

“SHUT UP!” you scream. “GET OUT OF MY HEAD!”

‘She’s getting away. You’ve got this one chance.’

“I’LL KILL BROLY MYSELF!” you scream as loud as you can, rocketing at him and slamming both your fists into his gut before he can stop you, blasting forth and slamming him into the ground. Lightning builds up around your fists as you have him on the ground, and then you pummel him with a Machinegun Punch, viciously trying to just... end him.

This does a good deal more than even Broly was expecting. And he smirks wildly, laughing through the pain. He manages to knock you off of him with an Explosive Wave, following that by letting out a burst of Ki blasts that you deflect away. “There we go. Now you don’t seem like as much a disappointment. Kakarot should be much more fun if this is what just you can do.”

“I’m MORE than capable of ending you RIGHT HERE AND NOW!” You form a Spirit Ball and fire it forth, Broly dodging it initially only for him to get beaned in the back of the head with it, then smacked around more as you do everything you can to try and stop him. To kill him.

‘You really ARE fun, boy. But I should remind you, Towa is getting away. Last chance.’

Broly brings his hand back and charges a massive green Ki blast, flinging it forward. You backhand it away and right into a nearby mountain, the resulting explosion leveling it entirely. The fury in your mind calms just a little as you realize he’s right. You can’t even sense Towa anymore. You... you need to get mom’s sword back. Through any. Means. Necessary. “FINE. TAKE ME TO HER!”

Lapis teleports behind you right as you shout out your demand. “GOHAN, NO!” he blurts out, grabbing on to you... but it’s too late. The both of you are transported away, appearing near Towa and Dabura.

Your rage returns as you lunge at her... only for you to get blasted back by the both of them. Seething, you try to calm yourself, noticing that Towa’s holding your mother’s sword, the blade no longer lodged in her arm. “You really have improved, my dear sister.” Dabura praises.

“I must admit that as much as I loathe her, she has served to help me find ways to improve myself in addition to my creations.” Towa... gives Dabura a genuine, warm and... uncharacteristically sweet smile. You hate it. You HATE it. “And it is thanks to her that I could free you and complete our little deal.”

“Give me. That sword.” you growl at her. Okay. Raio-ken to it, then blast them both as hard as you can. Solid plan. Look for an opening.

She holds it up tauntingly. “Aww, momma’s little errand boy, huh?”

“Gohan you need to calm down.” Lapis demands, his voice shaking with worry.

“He’s right you know. Imagine if your mother saw you like this. If she heard what you’ve said. Oh it would break her little heart.” Towa waves the blade around, but you know she’s got a trap set for you. Find an opening. Then strike.

Your body’s shaking with fury. No. No you’re trying to help. You’re not going to let them get away. And you’re going to get mom’s sword back. ...Right after you knock that smug look off Towa’s face! Towa’s guard drops. You see your opportunity! “RAIO-KEN!” you scream at her, trying to grab mom’s sword.

“Predictable.” She tosses it into the air and Dabura spits at it, the blade petrifying. You pull your hand back to avoid getting turned to stone as well, barreling past Towa and Dabura. She waves goodbye to you as they teleport away once more.

The sword hits the ground and shatters. You fall to your knees, taking in what just happened. Tears stream down your cheeks as you look at the shattered stone pieces of mom’s blade. You... you failed. You failed her. You...

You’re not a good kid after all.

>>3144219
You slam your fists into the ground and yell out in frustration, tears still falling from your cheeks. You failed. You had one damn job and you screwed it up. You let them get the better of you, and now all you have to show for flying off the handle like a nutcase is mom’s shattered sword. Only way this could’ve gotten ANY worse is if you DID grab on to it, turned to stone probably killed. All you are is a liability. Peppa wouldn’t have made these mistakes. All you did was prove Babidi right.

You’re not pure of heart.

Lapis hesitantly approaches. “...Listen. We need to head back. We’re down your mom and Yamcha still, and I don’t think we’ll fare all that well against those three goons without your help.”

‘But can you really help them? You’re still at a disadvantage, boy. You may need some... extra help.’

Your hands grip your head. “Stop it...”

Lapis immediately backs away. “...Gohan, kid, come on, they’re in danger. We need to go.”

Because Gohan's having a bad day and needs time to suffer. I mean, think about what he's done. I mean, cool his head. Yeah, that one.
Alternatively, Lapis has now decided that he doesn't want kids because he doesn't have the strength of will to deal with teenagers being teenagers.

Sounds like father material to me.

>>
>>3145719
Just wait til he has to deal with a Seventeen year old.
>>
>>3145726
He just needs to not train his children to be potential threats to the earth until after they get a little less hormonal.
>>
>>3145743
See, there's the problem: Gohan can't afford not to be a potential threat to the Earth because of the threats to the Earth Towa keeps jangling above it. Gohan can't be a scholar, or hang out with friends as often as he'd like, he needs to get stronger for the next challenge Towa will issue. He probably hasn't been able to sleep at night without training his hardest to get stronger, all in fear of the day that they won't win against these goddamned demons.
>>
>>3145731
>we'll have to deal with seventeen year old moody halfling monkies
Jesus. At least Izzy is moderately well adjusted but Peppa's a few botched rolls away from a very bad day too. Gohan is in dire need of some therapy. Or at least learning how to fuckin deal with his complex.
I really did hope he was improving too.
>>
>>3145747
>>3145749
>I really did hope he was improving too.
With Towa and hers wiped from the universe, Gohan will be able to live a relatively quiet life and sleep soundly.
>>
>>3145752
Removing Towa is going to address a symptom, not the problem itself. Not to mention he has to figure out life after Towa, and can just keep avoiding working out his feelings towards his sister, and the rest of his family too.
It's not the basis of a healthy relationship.

I wish this line of thinking didn't exist. He's all mixed up because he cares about her but feels animosity towards her too. That's something he and never expresses it to anyone, not even Pantea. She's gotten close, but she's not there.

I won't argue that it's less stressfu, but this is a devil you know situation. Towa at least has the decency to announce her presence and string us along until she gets what she wants. We were blindsided by Babidi's plans in-character because of decisions we made. I expect a lot more of that if she's gone.

Atleast she doesn't send her magic wand in to make her monsters grow.

...also does Towa's spear actually do anything or is she not worried she left it? I guess it's not as unique as Rainbow...
>>
>>3145799
>this is a devil you know situation.
Towa has backstabbed us when she really didn't have to, she just did it for fun and to anger us. Babidi will give us a way to fight her so long as we get him some energy. Towa goes back on her conditions, with Babidi we have the luxury of conditions.
>>
>>3145822
Babidi will mind control us and make us try to kill Shin first.
>>
>>3145824
Shin, Kibito and then make us kill Mom for funsies.
>>
>>3145822
Babidi is looking to be the lesser of two evils here. What with DK Piccolo, Garlic Junior, the Saiyans, the PTO, Cold, and Dr. Raichi, through all of those baddies, Towa has always been the bigger threat, and has made what threats we could overcome with our efforts even stronger.

>>3145824
Eh, no big loss. The Supreme Kai doesn't care about any of us mortals, if he's way stronger than Frieza, well, he probably ignored a lot of prayers he could have answered. No, he came here to Earth because Buu is the Godkiller. He's worried about his own hide, and will do anything to ensure that monster doesn't wake up again.
>>
>>3145827
Exactly.

>>3145831
That's why I said first. And if we fail to show we're useful to him after that? Pop goes the Gohan.
>>
>>3145840
Why wouldn't we be useful? We're going to help him take out his #1 rivals: Dabura and Towa, who are probably not happy about the enslavement, and can scry and teleport to Babidi wherever he goes. With Buu's sleeping habits and lackadaisical nature, he will never be able to rest so long as they live, which puts him and Gohan in the same boat.
>>
>>3145844
Let's be realistic.

Gohan, even boosted wouldn't be able to take out either Mira or Towa.
>>
>>3145848
Let's be realistic: Gohan can punch people really hard.
>>
>>3145822
>>3145831
But we've reached a point where raw power isn't going to cut it. The Android/Ozotto Saga should have made that clear We chose not to investigate Babidi and instead spend our time on the ninjas.
Without Towa, we might not have the luxury of time to do those things because we need to spend our own time focusing on the next threat rather than letting her scheme. And if it's worth her time, she will scheme.

“Why? I’ll just screw THAT up too! All I’ve done today is get myself in trouble!” You look down at the shattered stone sword, then look up at him angrily. “Y-you were here too, why didn’t you try to stop them too?!”

Lapis turns his head. “...Gohan. Look. We can settle on blame once we make it through this. Okay?”

You wipe your tears. “...I’m sorry. I’m just...”

“Having a shitty day?” he asks as he leans down.

You nod. Picking up the pieces of mom’s broken sword, you put it in a Capsule and stand. Babidi wants this. You... you’re better than that. “I guess I’m not really pure of heart. I’m not really a good kid. But I’ll keep trying. And I guess it’s true, we.. I need help. But I’m not going to fall for your trick, Babidi. You want a pawn. You want to help us? Will your Buu go after Towa and her ilk and stop them from pulling something like this again? I doubt that. You could prove me wrong though.”

His mocking laughter returns. ‘You’re great, kid. You really are. But for me to do that, I’d need something from you...’

You glare upwards at where you hear his voice come from. “Let’s go, Lapis.”

He grabs on to your shoulder and teleports you away, back to mom. Both she and Yamcha are still unconscious, but alive. You see Lazuli and Beelzebub try to hold back Basilea, while Tien and the Supreme Kai do their best to hold Broly back... not faring very well, though. Kibito likewise is getting thrown around like a ragdoll by Ledgic.

You and Lapis join the fray, with you quickly kicking Basilea aside to get Lazuli and Beelzebub some breathing room, then bolt over to Ledgic, saving Kibito from a spear strike. You grab the weapon and snap it, grabbing Ledgic’s face and jolting upwards with him, smashing him into Broly... who, while surprised by the hit, smirks. “You done hiding now, coward?”

“I’m going to stop you.” You prepare to use the Burning Crusher against Ledgic, only for Broly to grab the alien by his tail and smack you down with him. He flies down and stomps on you.

“You’re barely a warmup at this point.” Broly calls down mockingly. His... his Ki’s still rising.

‘You’re not going to beat him at this rate.’ Babidi calls to you. ‘I can help.’

>A. Take your offer and shove it up your ass, Babidi!
>B. Focus exclusively on Broly, you need to stop him! You WILL stop him!
>C. You can get stronger too! Show him Super Saiyan 3!
>D. ...Okay. Say I’m listening. How do I guarantee you won’t hurt my mom?
>E. Something else?
>>
>>3145857
'Why aren't you going for Broly? Offer him power to beat my dad? He'd probably gladly joined you like he did with Towa'

Engage Babadi in a conversation, keep him distracted.

For Broly? Cry.

Cry like Baby Goku.

Then focus on dodging and weaving out of the way of his attacks. Don't waste time trying to hit him, force him to expand a lot of power and drive him into attacking the ship itself.

Like a bull being lead by a matador.

Basilea, there was some speculation over whether or not you were possessed by some demon or other, but it's clear that you are 100% you. Ledgic, I'm glad you don't have a Majin mark, and have shown my mother your gratitude. All of you are utter pieces of shit who decided to be that way of their own accord, and I'm taking you down."

‘Not going for Broly? Look at him, he’s a big slab of meat with little in the way for brains. He’d be the perfect pawn, just give him the offer to beat my dad. He’ll join you as readily as he did Towa.’

‘...I have my reasons.’ Babidi grumbles out, clearly frustrated. Wait... wait, is he unable to? ...Is Broly being controlled by Towa? Or... has he gotten something from her like Vegeta did? That means... Broly’s doing this of his own free will. Truly free.

https://youtu.be/SQCL0odju7M

“Then the best thing you can do for us Babidi is help by shutting the hell up. And you know what Broly? I can get stronger too. But first, lemme just say something. Actually, you too Basilea, and YOU, Ledgic. You know what? I’m happy for you all.” Your strength starts to rise as you dig deeper into it. “I’m happy you’re all CLEARLY doing this of your own free will. You’ve got no one controlling you, Broly, not a slave to anyone. Really showing your thanks for mom saving your sorry ass back when you first met her.”

Broly just laughs. “Believe what you like.”

“And Basilea! Boy I was really holding out hope you were possessed by something, that this wasn’t you alone, but looks like these no, this is your true colors.” Your hair starts to grow.

“You have no idea what I’ve been through. And I have no reason to tell you. So think what you want, peasant. I’ll break you soon enough.” She’s distracted slightly by your shouting. Beelzebub seems to ready something.

“And Ledgic, no mark on your head anymore, really showing mom your gratitude for all of that! You’re all utterly despicable pieces of shit and decided to be that way on your own, and I’m taking you all DOWN! HRRRAAAAAAAAHHH!” Your power explodes out around you finish transforming into Super Saiyan 3, slamming your fist into Broly, following it up with a full Jan Ken that does some actual damage to him.

Broly savagely tries to fight back, but you instead focus on dodging and countering, letting him know that not only have you outclassed him in strength, but your technique is a whole level above his own. Several exploding afterimages frustrate him as you try to knock the wind out of him, nearly succeeding even as his strength builds higher and higher.

Your left knee the smashes int Broly’s face, followed by your right, then a flip kick, and finally a smack from your tail that sends him bouncing away. For a moment he lays prone on the ground, and you finally bring out all the power you have left as you run towards him, building up speed. You’ll finish him with this! You stop and leap upwards, drawing your blade! “SHINE...!”

Broly’s body twitches... as sparks jet out. His aura returning.

“SPAAAAARK!”

You fall like the hammer of a god of thunder, ready to finally end Broly for good. You just need to hit him with this and you’ll be done with him! You swing your blade at him as you’re about to hit him...

And your strength leaves you.

You drop out of Super Saiyan 3 and hit the ground, sword just barely missing Broly. Who finally starts to stand up, sparks jetting out from around him as his hair seems to stand up even higher. “That power was impressive. Thank you for showing me it, son of Kakarot. I’ll be sure to put it to even better use.” Your body trembles. You’re out of power. No. Not like this. No you ALMOST had him! You struggle to move as a green light shines behind you. “You were a worthy foe. Goodbye.”

Your eyes close. Just the thing to cap off your constant failures. “...Sorry mom.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLtllMIOUa8

“Don’t say sorry just yet, son.”

Then they shoot open. Right as Broly fires you... notice that you don’t feel anything. The blast hits something else. Turning your head quickly, you see mom stand in front of you. She... took the brunt of some of that damage, but she was able to get a barrier up with her Spirit Bits... one that then forms around Broly. “W-what?!”

Mom... just shakes her head, holding her hands out. “Mafuba.”

“UUUWWAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!”

Broly’s caught inside it, spiraling around in swirling waves of Ki. Mom holds her hands up and then flings them down like she’s dunking a basketball into a hoop. Except the hoop is a large jar with a seal on it, one that the Supreme Kai caps off. He lets out a sigh of relief. Mom gives him a thumb’s up, and he returns the favor.

You then notice that mom’s not the only one doing this. Tien flings Ledgic down into a jar of his own, Kibito and Yamcha capping that one off. Finally, you see Basilea held down by a bunch of large chains made of Ki, trying to fire off a series of energy blasts, only to be thwarted by Lapis and Lazuli both deflecting them. “You forced this on yourself.” Beelzebub declares. “DEVILMITE BEAM!”

A look of shock comes to the Demon’s face, then terror as she realizes she’s... about to die. Or rather she would, if not for Churai teleporting her away at the last moment. She’s gone. They... it’s over. Mom falls to one knee, her body trembling as you feel she’s out of strength. You try to stand, stumbling over... but noticing that she’s looking back at you.

Disappointed.

Gohan just take a breath, and just tell her whats on your mind man.

Tell her how you've been feeling. How overshadowed you've felt, the anger that you feel boiling inside of that you that's broiling like a storm. How Babadi brought it all to the forefront but, how you know all these issues have always been buried deep in you.

It's okay to feel these things, its okay to feel bad/negative things.


Let it go, Gohan. Let it all go.

>>3146060
I'll back these

So many prayers you refused. So wherefore is it that you are here now? Is it because Majin Buu killed your fellow gods, and that scares you? Your one wish is for that beast to remain asleep. You could not give one damn if it rampages through the universe again, like how Frieza did, but if Buu finds you again, you would be of the deadest meat!"

Frieza was also buddies with Beerus, the two went planet destroying together.

That could be a reason why Shin didn't make a move.

I tell him it's his fault our dreams were shattered out of love.

Yeah, I was just thinking of any toxic thoughts that could have gone through Gohan's mind throughout this little adventure, I suppose if they're objectionable I'm doing a good job, but if they're objectionable for everyone then we're not going with them.

You screwed up. No getting around this. You kinda want to cry. You almost want to deny it, think she’s disappointed in something else. But you know the truth. “...I’ve been trying to pretend like they’re not as big a deal as they really are. Trying to shove them aside, like it’s just some minor thing. But... it’s not the case. I do worry about staying in her shadow. In your shadow. Like no matter what I’ll do, I’ll never be good enough. It makes me angry... angry with myself. Babidi managed to prod and poke and bring it to the surface. But the fact is it’s been bubbling underneath for a long time now. I want to be a good kid. But... deep down I’ve always worried I’m not. And now it looks like that was rather self-fulfilling.”

Mom just... listens silently, the two jars picked up by Tien. The Supreme Kai and Kibito look towards the circular entrance curiously, while Beelzebub takes a moment to reflect on what all just happened. Yamcha approaches the two of you, a more friendly look on his face. Mom... keeps a stern face though.

While maybe, maybe you have some other issues with what all happened today, you know it’s not the heart of the matter. You let mom know what your real issues are. And now, you let her know, “I’ll do better. I’ll become stronger as a person. I won’t let someone manipulate me like this again. If there’s anything else you want to talk about, though, we can save it for after Babidi’s dealt with. And... I guess I’ve got a bar of soap I should chew on when we get home.”

You notice mom force herself not to laugh. She walks over and pats your head. “We will talk more about this when it’s all over. But I want you to remember that no matter what, you’re still my boy.”

‘How touching. Shame you’re all too late.’ Babidi’s voice seems to address... well, all of you. The entrance to the next level of his ship opens up. ‘Thank you oh so much for stalling. You’re moments away from Majin Buu’s return.’

“We need to go, now!” the Supreme Kai calls out.

>A. Let me at him!
>B. Let’s just blast down at him!
>C. Can we teleport to him and keep him from calling forth Buu?
>D. Mom, do you think you can manage another Mafuba?
>E. Something else?
>>
>>3146184
>E. Shrug, you're out of energy and you're curious as to what this Buu looks like.

“Mom, what’s the plan?” you ask.

“We’re all pretty beat from all this, Maple. We don’t have much left to use against him if we DO end up fighting that Buu thing.” Yamcha comments.

Maple thinks for a moment. “...There are a number of Babidi’s soldiers waiting below. Supreme Kai, I need you with me and Gohan to face Babidi. I’ve got one trick that’ll work against him, but we’ve only got one shot.”

The purple man nods. “Understood. I’ve got my trust in you, Mrs. Son-Mahogany.”

“Eh, too formal. Just call me Maple.” Mom grins at him, then leaps towards the opening. “Everyone else, keep them busy!”

“Got it!”

https://youtu.be/YOeRKE-ajsU

Your group heads down, beams firing up at you. Lapis and Lazuli both form what look to be turtle shells made of Ki to block the blasts as Yamcha unleashes a flurry of blows with his Wolf Fang Fist. Tien sprouts an extra pair of arms and starts to pummel a few more of the soldiers, Kibito letting out a shockwave that clears a path for you, mom, and the Supreme Kai, Beelzebub holding them down with those chains again. With a blade of Ki forming around her hand, she carves through it, the three of you leaping down and finally confronting Babidi himself.

The little imp looks over you all, standing next to a veiny sphere of flesh set atop some strange platform. Wow. Beelzebub would certainly crack a couple jokes about that if he wasn’t busy holding off the other soldiers. You’ll hold back too. You’re already gonna have to chomp on some soap. Mom telepathically asks you to distract him. And you do just that. “I’m curious, what happens when you need to seal him back up? Could Bibidi really control that thing if he had to seal it up? From what I hear you’re just a copy. Think you can bluff something like that forever?”

“I’m perfectly capable of sealing Majin Buu right back up.” he retorts, his eyes glancing over to a dial for a moment. “What, did you think you could talk me out of this or something?”

“Worth a try. Even someone like you might be able to redeem himself. You’re a lot like our friend Piccolo, honestly.” Mom comments, both her and the Supreme Kai preparing something. “You’ve got the chance. Please try to take it.”

“Why ARE you so set on redeeming everything you come across? Is this some complex over your parent?” Babidi asks her critically. “You didn’t turn out how he wanted and now you want everyone to end up like you? All goody-goody?”

“Hit the nail on the head.” she replies sarcastically. “So, that a ‘no’ then?”

Babidi... flips her off as steam starts jetting out from the platform. “Paparapapa!” Your head starts to hurt, a throbbing sensation like a jackhammer inside your mind. Babidi smirks. ‘And just like that, you three fail. Buu will reach full power any second now! But I think I’ll keep you around, boy. You’re too much fun. Maybe you can help test Buu’s power...’

>>
>>3146363
“NOT HAPPENING!” you declare, snapping out of it. He will NOT take control.

“NOW!” Maple calls out, the two of you raising your hands and using some of your last bits of strength. “LUMINAIRE!”

Babidi is caught by surprise and shields himself as Light engulfs the area. It hits the sphere with enough force to knock it loose, the Supreme Kai leaping to it and placing his hands on it. “Maple! Do it!”

Mom leaps forward as well, slamming her hands on the sphere with him. “SAMMA VACA!”

“KAI KAI!”

“W-WHAT?!” Babidi exclaims. The steam suddenly stops as they teleport away... with the sphere. You fall to your knees, panting. Oof, everything hurts. The physical damage and just... exhaustion. Mom appears back a few moments later using Instant Transmission. “W-what... what did you do?!”

“Waited until he was almost ready to hatch, kept you occupied with that attack, and knocked it loose. Then sapped just a little of his strength as he started to break free. Buu remains sealed, and is now far, far away. Somewhere you’ll never find him.” She grins and holds up a victory sign. “Sorry Babidi. You lose.”

“YOU THINK THIS IS OVER?!” Babidi exclaims, stomping his feet. “I found him once, I can find him again! And none of you have the strength left to stop me! I will find Buu again! I will release him! And I-”

“DEVILMITE BEAM!”

“YYEEEAAAAAAAGGHHH!”

You watch weakly as it happens. It’s as if all the built up evil inside the little imp suddenly overloads him, Babidi just... exploding. The Supreme Kai teleports back right in time to see it happen. He then falls back, exhaling loudly. You hear Beelzebub laugh weakly from above you all, then fall out of the hold in the roof and crash onto the floor face-first, letting out a weak “Ow...” as he does.

“It’s... it’s over... we did it...” the Kai sighs out in... almost disbelief. Joyful disbelief. “You two just saved the universe.”

A smile appears on your face. Might not be the best kid. But you’re improving.

Good run. Glad things worked out for the time being. But I get the feeling that's not the last we'll see of Buu.

Things didn't quite go the way I wanted, which is probably for the best! Yes, this Majin Madness was a great arc and we got to explore Gohan's character a lot. I'm a bit disappointed we won't get any Buu shenanigans, so I'll keep saying stuff like, "Well, at least we're not dealing with Buu right now!" to tempt fate towards that.

Us in the discord have been talking about new weapons/quests to work on with Gohan and Izumi, like a sword that could surpass Rainbow, and a portable furnace to gather spirit energy in. I hope we can set them on these later, if it's possible.

Be sure to smooch at midnight while balancing an egg for luck!

I am having a really fun time playing as a ruthless character.

I don't want to slap a band-aid on our problems and have them go away.

I want to explore this darker side to Gohan some more, especially his grudges and merciless nature towards his enemies.

I want to carry longboats some more.

Let's explore it in a way that makes sense for his character though. Not as an excuse to act like Vegeta when there's a major threat. And especially let others react to this bit of his character instead of going off the deep end.

>>3146969
nice dubs

That's fair, but I don't want him to become some grating goody-two-shoes who offers every bad guy who can pass a written test a chance at redemption. If anything, HFIL's the perfect place for their redemption.

I also want this new generation to stay away from Maple's cult and go down other paths to power.

We can do something different that doesn't require him to act out like that. Peppa is already developing differently from Maple, she's a good deal more serious and is kinda developing a sense of justice that makes sense for how she's been raised while not directly mirroring Maple.

Let Gohan develop naturally too. Let him deal with his own issues and grow from there.

After a short while, your group’s managed to round up the remainder of Babidi’s forces. Thankfully most of them weren’t too much trouble, because you’re EXHAUSTED. Even with Kibito doing his best to heal you all, everyone is thoroughly done with today. Yamcha brings up an obvious question, though. “So... what do we do with these guys? Hand them over to the Galactic Patrol or something?”

“That’d probably be the easiest way to deal with these stragglers.” Lapis responds, rubbing the side of his head. He then looks over to the Supreme Kai. “Unless you guys have something you can do with them...?”

The Kai shakes his head. “Yamcha is correct. It would be best to hand them over to the Galactic Patrol.”

Lazuli places her hands on her hips. “So what DID you do with that Buu thing? Is it just sitting somewhere on some far-off planet? Towa might be after it too.”

“I assure you, it is far out of her reach.” he responds confidently.

“I wouldn’t be so sure. Towa’s resourceful.” Beelzebub comments, his eyes narrowing. He looks off into the distance. “And now she has my father on her side.”

“...I’m sorry.” you sigh out.

“It’s okay. I’ve managed to accomplish one of my goals, at least. We’re going to need to start preparing though.” The Demon Prince crosses his arms contemplatively. “With my father on her side, Towa... may have bigger plans in store. Plans that involve the entire Demon Realm.”

The Supreme Kai looks at him curiously for a moment, then his eyes go wide. “...Would she really go to such lengths?”

Beelzebub’s eyes close. “Doubtlessly. Still... thank you, everyone.”

Mom nods, then looks over the captured soldiers. “...One thing that just doesn’t add up with all of this.”

“What’s that?” you ask. Please not more. You just wanna lay down and rest for the next... week or something.

“I can’t find the one who brought Giru with him among them.”

...

Ah crap.

>A. Let’s start looking through Babidi’s ship then
>B. You sure? Describe him again, maybe we’re just overlooking him
>C. Can it like, wait until later? Babidi’s ship isn’t going anywhere, and we should check on dad and Peppa and everyone?
>D. Something else?

>>3147294
>A & B.
So, if Gohan did end up Majin, how bad would things have gotten?

>>3147318
We failed to stop Towa, remember? Rainbow breaking and everything?

...Should probably hand that over to Maple too.
>>
>>3147349
Stop Towa from what? Returning home with her brother? Beelzebub wanted to be the one to do it?

The only thing we failed at is getting our sword back from those devils.
>>
>>3147356
We were trying to get Towa too. Fucked that up and let her escape. Remember?
>>
>>3147360
Whatever the case, I don't feel that Gohan did anything wrong with lashing out against Towa and Dabura. Towa is a constant pain in our side, and Dabura became a Majin because he's an asshole. The living world would be better off without them.

So, no, I don't think Gohan should apologize to the guy who just sat there while we did stuff.
>>
>>3147361
And he let Towa get under his skin and failed to stop her when he had the chance. Now Towa will be back and able to do other shit. And pretty sure Beelzebub was fighting Basilea.
>>
>>3147294
>>3147372
Can we rescind that apology? Beelzebub let his aunt get away with his father, he didn't do anything to help with that.

>And pretty sure Beelzebub was fighting Basilea.
He wasn't. He wasn't doing anything.
>Basilea grabs hold of your tail, but that doesn’t slow you down. You turn and quickly fire a Kamehameha at her, both knocking her off you and launching you forward once more... and right into Broly’s massive hand.
>>
>>3147294
>>3147377
I mean, it would really help if you could clarify just what we're apologizing to the Lord of Shit for.
>>
>>3147377
He was fighting her when we got back. This is my problem with how you keep trying to go about this. It doesn't fit the mood, and comes off as OOC. You're trying to force Gohan down a path that doesn't arise organically. Getting all snappy at people after he's been through this doesn't fit what's going on.

Save it for a more appropriate situation.
>>
>>3147398
Beelzebub didn't do anything to stop Towa. What did it matter if he was fighting his daughter when we got back from trying to stop Towa? He didn't help.
>>
>>3147398
I'm not voting for Gohan to snap at people, but I DO NOT WANT him to just be some doormat who admits he did wrong when he really didn't.
>>
>>3147407
>>3147410
You see this is the problem. You're isolating one line of dialogue and not reading the context around it, because you want a very specific reaction to occur. Gohan let Towa get away, and is sorry for it. Beelzebub isn't blaming him for it though, hence his reply. While in dialogue we just had it established that everyone is exhausted, Gohan especially. This isn't being a doormat. Trying to rescind the apology would be OOC at the moment.
>>
>>3147398
>Getting all snappy at people after he's been through this doesn't fit what's going on.
What's going on is that Gohan's having a rough day. Just apologizing to people for things he failed at when they didn't do anything to help isn't going to accomplish anything.

>>3147437
Why can't we accept that we didn't do anything wrong? Beelzebub let his family escape, and Gohan tried to chase them because there is a microscopically slim chance they won't be up to no good. If Beelzebub didn't care, why should Gohan care enough to say he's sorry for failing at what Shitlord sat on his hands for?
>>
>>3147294
>A&B
Avoid any mops.
>>
>>3147448
Alternatively, Gohan could be apologizing to Beelzebub for attacking his aunt and father. Which makes sense, but Beelzebub just came damn near frying his daughter's heart.
>>
>>3147448
>Why can't we accept that we didn't do anything wrong?
Because Gohan specifically asked Babidi to bring him to Towa while going all nuts. He chased after her and failed to stop her, screwing up and letting Rainbow get broken. You're the one who voted for it! I supported your vote! Nothing OOC with feeling a little sorry about not stopping Towa.
>>
>>3147476
I suppose you're right. I'm just really against turning a cool character into a spineless, wishy-washy milksop who wants to do nice things and apologize for stuff all the time.
>>
>>3147349
>So, if Gohan did end up Majin, how bad would things have gotten?
I believe things would have turned out great, Buu would become Super Buuf from the plenty of juice we give him from fighting either Broly or Peppa.

Buu would've been released. A Majin Gohan fighting against anyone would've pushed him over the edge, especially Gohan fighting Broly. The fallout from it would be quite a bit worse for him though.

>>3147508
Buu would've looked about the same unless he was forced to absorb someone.

>>3147294
Welp. Cleanup duty it is then. Though hopefully you can avoid any mops. You remember what happened last time. Heh, would be a better change of pace if you actually COULD stop another threat by beating them in a cardgame, like that mop so many years ago. Ah well. “Let’s start looking through Babidi’s ship then. I can sorta remember some features of him, but you seem to recall him better, mom. Can you describe him for us, make sure we know exactly what we’re looking for?”

Mom heads to the entrance of Babidi’s ship. “They all look similar to these guys, but I was able to get some extra details from Giru. The same blue jumpsuit and white armor, but with larger lips, similar to the one you fought, Gohan... difference was that he had a different shade of skin. Looked more silver, almost.”

“Silver skin? I don’t recall anyone from planet Zoon having silver skin.” the Supreme Kai comments. “That IS strange.”

If you recall correctly, that guy did have more tan, brownish skin and yellow lips. And none of the guys among the survivors match that description either. “Okay, let’s look for him.”

Heading in with mom and the Supreme Kai as everyone else checks over the group you’ve captured, the three of you search around. Not sensing anything else in there... and the ship somehow feels even more eerie with it empty. “This ‘Giru’ you mentioned, what exactly is he?”

“He’s kinda the thing that gave us the warning about Babidi and this whole business in the first place.” mom explains. “A small robotic alien with Ki.”

“Did he look like the fighter that was with Yakon? A Metalman?”

She shakes her head. “No, body more spherical, with a singular eye.”

“Funny, didn’t see that thing use any buzzsaws against Ledgic. Might’ve been a dentist though.” you comment. Neither mom nor the Supreme Kai get those jokes. Oh well.

>A. Shouldn’t there be some kind of computer or something that could tell us?
>B. Think Scrying might help you, mom?
>C. How DID Babidi shift us around to different locations?

Looking around, a thought comes to your head. Pretty obvious in hindsight, but... “Shouldn’t there be some sort of computer this ship uses? Might that be able to tell us?”

“That would make sense. He’d need some kind of navigation system, and I’m certain Babidi would have some kind of staff roll or something.” mom replies, patting your head.

“The machinery he uses is not quite the same as your Earth analogs. A certain degree of Magic is required for them to function.” the Supreme Kai explains.

“We’ve got that covered then.” Mom states confidently.

That brings up another thought. “Hmm... is Magic how he was able to transport us to different locations? Is that how you moved Buu?”

He nods. “Actually, yes. And no. His ship is designed in such a way that a it can shift locations using a type of Shadow magic. Babidi himself couldn’t do it alone, and it can only shift both individuals centered around the entrance of the next level. The Kai Kai however is something only with Divine power has access to, a technique that allows instantaneous movement across the cosmos.”

“Huh, still sounds useful. I think Korin has a similar thing, his little wormhole to Darkness.”

“Supreme Kai, do you need this ship once you are done here?” mom asks. “It would be kinda nice if we could keep it to study later.”

He smiles. “You have helped save the universe. I believe you can be trusted to use it responsibly. It is not cursed or anything, but its technology may be a bit esoteric. Still, you may keep it.”

“Heehee~ Bulma’s gonna be happy to hear that.” Mom’s demeanor lightens just a bit as all of you look through some of the hallways. Crew quarters, storage, some strange rooms, aha! A navigation deck of some sort!

You approach a machine that looks at least slightly like a computer. It doesn’t have a standard keyboard nor even a screen, but it’s just important enough that it stands out. At least, let’s hope it is. You don’t want to have stumbled upon Babidi’s bathroom. Supreme Kai places his hand down, a holographic image appearing. “...As I suspected. It needs a certain type of magic to operate.”

“Think we can give it a try, mom?” you ask.

“Worth a shot.”

“Place your hands here then, and follow my lead.” the Supreme Kai instructs. You’re able to give a jolt of energy alongside mom, but quickly realize that it takes a bit to maintain it. You force yourself to keep going though, the hologram showing lists in some sort of language you don’t recognize.

“Let’s see...” The Supreme Kai checks through the files, manually moving them closer and further apart. “Hmm... ah! There’s Pui Pui, and so this one...” He grabs a name next to it and pulls on it as if unraveling a scroll, an image appearing... one of a figure that looks like that alien you fought, only with silver skin... almost metallic. “...Name is ‘Zui Zui.’ He’s recorded as deceased. Last known location was... Imecka.”

“Where Ledgic was, and where Giru was from. Would he somehow be able to break free from Babidi’s control?” mom questions.

“Doubtful. Let me look further into this.” He scans over writing under the image for a moment. “It says that he was killed after contracting some unknown illness, one that resulted in his change in skin color. Hmm... odd. It further mentions he was acting strangely, barely lucid.”

“...The heck kind of illness turns your skin silver?” you ask.

“I will have to look into this later. But any answers on him probably reside on that planet.” He closes up the image.

While trying to maintain the hologram, though, you end up losing a slight bit of focus, sending too strong of a jolt into it and causing it to shut down. And then your legs give out. You’re really in need of some actual rest.

Pushing yourself back up, you tell them, “I wanna check around a bit, if that’s okay with you guys. Maybe Babidi and Dabura left something behind.”

“Okay son, I’ll look with you. Might be worth keeping an eye out for anything.” Mom helps you to the doorway, at least until you’re able to walk again. “And please don’t exhaust yourself, okay?”

“Eheh, yeah... definitely gonna sleep like a rock tonight.”

The Supreme Kai heads up. “I shall wait outside then. Do be careful.”

“Will do.”

As you and mom search through the ship, first finding a few interesting bits in storage like extra bits of armor and clothing, you and mom first find something very interesting in what at least appears to be Babidi’s room. Some kind of Ki measuring device, like a Scouter. Next, and more interesting, is something that makes mom grin even wider.

“A Ki container.” she holds it up, then gets out a storage Capsule to put it in. “Bulma is going to LOVE this.”

Checking into one more room... you find something VERY interesting. Hanging on the wall of some strange chamber, you see a large blade almost as big as you. And you know just who it belonged to. This... is Dabura’s Sword. But that’s not all, there’s an identical copy of it, except somehow made of stone... just like mom’s blade.

You realize what this means.

“Mom... do you think Melchior could study these to be able to restore your sword?”

“You know, he just might... yeah, I think he could. Nice find, Gohan!” she praises.

You sigh in relief. That goes a little to fixing that mistake, at least. With that done, you and mom leave Babidi’s ship, Yamcha and the others filled in with what the Supreme Kai learned, and Babidi’s minions ready to be delivered off. Though... something does cross your mind. “Mom, do you think you should tell them about that Baby guy?”

“What’s this about an infant?” Kibito questions skeptically.

“Ah, actually...”

They get a short rundown of what mom knows about the other remnant of the Tuffles. The maniac in the future that was responsible for nearly taking over the universe. Kibito and the Supreme Kai both nod once she’s done. “This does sound like it could prove a danger to the universe. We will look into it as well.”

“Thank you, Supreme Kai.”

Kibito places his hands behind his back. “I must admit, I have misjudged you mortals. Some of you still have a ways to go... but after seeing what happened today, I feel as though you all are on the right path.”

“Thanks. You two are all right.” Yamcha grins and gives a thumb’s up.

“Say, while you’re still here, would the two of you mind staying for the end of the Tournament? We’re about to head back ourselves.”

“...Actually mom, can I like, just have some time alone? I kinda need some time to take in what’s gone down, and just... you know. Cool my head a bit. Is that okay?”

Maple looks to you quietly for a moment, then smiles and gives you a hug. “Sure. Take as much time as you need.”

“Thanks mom.” You hug her back, but right as she’s about to return with everyone, you have to ask, “Say... who was winning your match with the Supreme Kai?”

The Kai raises an eyebrow. “Well, neither of us really got into what we could do at our best. I was more trying to help her prepare for Buu...”

“Offer’s still open to finish it if you’d like.” Maple gives him a friendly smile. “You’re a good fighter.”

“Perhaps I need to start improving, though. Still, I may take you up on that offer some day.”

“Oh, first, real quick!” Mom teleports away for a moment, confusing you all as you try to sense for where she went, only for her to teleport back with a Senzu Bean that she tosses to you. “Here. Chuu Lee’s apparently got a bunch from Korin just in case.”

“Thanks mom. See you in a while.”

“Love ya son.”

Everyone teleports away, and you chomp down on the Senzu, your strength restoring. Still mentally worn from all that’s happened, but your wounds are healed up and you’ve got some time to just... think things over. You flew off the handle back there, justified or not. Babidi really might be right. You may not be pure of heart.

Do we know if the ones who left have been DQ'd or have the matches been put on hold?
I'm guessing yes from earlier stuff, but curious
Standing Peppa up for our fight would be, interesting.

>>3148166
If we don't want to live in Peppa's shadow, it wouldn't be better for us to live in a shadow of our own making. We should fight her in front of the world.
>>
>>3148178
Just thinking like a frustrated teenage boy. Peppa would be expecting a fight and looking forward to it. But it's a no show and then give her the cold shoulder when she asks about it.
Maple would know there's something wrong, but I'm not sure she knows how to deal with it. Goku would probably be confused, maybe concerned?
It would hurt a lot of people at once, in a different way than usual, that's all.
It's a total brat move though.

Deep breath Gohan. Don’t run from this. Confront it, and live with it. “Flying Nimbus!” you call out. The cloud flies towards you a few moments later, parking near you... but you notice a slight hesitation as it does. Here goes. You jump up...

And fall right through.

Even the Nimbus is surprised, floating away slightly, then moving back to you. That settles it then. You apologize to the cloud amd then fly up after sensing around to double-check that there’re no more of Babidi’s henchmen around. You fly through the sky to just try and clear your mind a bit. But... there is something else you figure you need to do.

‘Hey, Pantea? It’s Gohan.’ you contact her telepathically.

‘Oh thank goodness, you’re okay. Maple and everyone else looked like they’ve been through hell, was getting worried. Where are you, Gohan?’

‘Trying to clear my head, really. Have they told you what happened?’

‘I mean, a bit, everyone’s catching up right now. It was insane over here too. The Herans interrupting the fights, and suddenly a bunch of people got all mind controlled. Even Nappa! Videl and I had to hold him off before Chi-chi could free him. They’ve finally settled down though, but still, it was nuts!’

Your fists clench. Pantea could’ve gotten hurt and you... ‘You’re okay now though, right?’

Pantea chuckles. ‘Yeah, made it through that intact. Still, where are you? Can’t sense you anywhere nearby.’

‘Still trying to clear my head. I... didn’t exactly deal with things as well as I could.’

There’s silence. Uncomfortable, uneasy silence. ‘...There’s still some more time left before the matches start again. Are... you coming back, Gohan?’

>A. No. I REALLY need to clear my head... so can we talk? I need to talk
>B. Is Nappa sorry?
>C. Yeah, but I think I’m done fighting for today

‘...Is Nappa sorry for what he did?’ you ask her, your anger building slightly.

‘W-what? Yeah, of course. Well, seems he’s mostly angry that he let himself get taken over so easily, but he does seem sorry too. The Ginyus more-so, they’re talking with your mom right now. Look, Gohan, tell me, are you coming back?’

https://youtu.be/NZr0wag1pyA

The anger fades. ‘No. No, look... I REALLY need to clear my head. Can we talk, please?’

‘...Sure.’ she responds, not convincingly, but clearly concerned, and most importantly willing to listen.

‘I’m... angry. Angry at how Towa treated us. Angry at watching people slap away mom’s help when she gives them a chance to turn over a new leaf, showing themselves to be rotten to the core. Angry at... at how easily I got manipulated, by Babidi, by Towa, and how I screwed up. I saw Ledgic stab your dad through the chest and almost kill him. I saw mom nearly die at the hands of Towa, while trying to save Beelzebub’s dad, only for him to join up with Towa instead. I went berserk, and I played right into their hands.’

‘...Gohan-’

‘Let me finish. Please. So, yeah, I was angry at what happened today. But... that’s just at the surface. Babidi saw how I was worried about staying in Peppa’s shadow. That I’ll never be able to step out of mom’s shadow. He made me aware of how badly I’ve been suppressing these fears. How I try to be a good kid, but only because I’m worried that deep down I’m really not. And I got to confront that today. I saw what holding all of this in did... and I saw just how badly I messed up because of it.’ Your body shakes. ‘Babidi nearly got me. And that... that disappointed mom. I tried to stop Towa. But I choked, and I messed up. I could’ve... I could’ve hurt someone. I don’t know what I’d do if, after everything was over, that someone was a person I care about. And yet, deep down... I know there’s a part of me that wants to stop Towa from threatening people ever again, and that part is what almost got me under Babidi’s spell. And I’m trying to come to terms with that.’

‘...My turn?’

‘If you can stand talking to me after hearing all that.’

(cont.)
>>
>>3148363
Pantea’s voice gets... a bit more strict. ‘Gohan? I think you’re better than that.’

Ow. That stung a bit. ‘S-’

‘Actually, no. You ARE better than that. I know it. You know it. And I’m damn sure your mom knows it. I also know and get that you weren’t in any easy situations back there. Hell, if I saw my dad nearly get killed I’d be pretty pissed too. I’d be furious. And yet... what it sounds like is that you let yourself try the easy way forward, a quick path to lash out against everything that’s been building against you. And you’re better than that.’

You wince. This... hurts. But she has a point. ‘...Yeah.’

Pantea calms her tone. ‘You’re going to keep trying to be better though, right?’

‘That’s... that’s what I told mom. I’ve seen myself at my worst. I’m not going to let myself get manipulated like that again. Get stronger as a person.’

‘Then... I can accept that. I know what you can be, Gohan, and it’s definitely better than that. And... I want to help. Help you define yourself as you, not as a reflection of someone else. But it’s got to start with you.’

Are you crying? Yep, you’re crying. Hah, well, guess you’ve been holding this back. You wipe your tears away. ‘...You’re the best, Pantea.’

‘I’ll see you when you’re ready to come back, Gohan.’

All right folks, that's all for tonight. We’ll continue tomorrow starting ~5:30 pm PST, back to Peppa. I’ll be around for a bit for some questions if y’all have any. Did y’all have fun?
>>
>>3148369
Yeah, had fun. How'd the cloning process go?
>>
>>3148369
Good run. Glad we got some sulking out of Gohan's system. Interested to see how things pan out for the rest of the tournament with that cloud hanging around.

So, Gohan & Zarid's space camping trip when?
>>
>>3148369
Pantea is definitely the friend Gohan needs right now. And probably more than a friend, you can't just hear all that and not feel SOMETHING stronger than friendship.

Had a blast, Kato. Thanks for running!

>>3148376
That would probably be for the best. He needs more male friends he can connect with. After the Tournament?
>>
So, who we playing as in that bout?

>Peppa
>Gohan
>Both?!
>>
>>3148385
Agreed on Pantea, but he really needs to learn to deal with it on his own, or rationing out his bombs better. That's twice he's turned it on her in the span of a few weeks, I think.

I hope he and Zarid do have an opportunity to catch up soon. Zarid kind of seems to be one of the few people who could 'get' Gohan's concerns right now. Raditz might be another, but I'm not sure how that would work with him listening...Goku is right out.
But any chance to get away from family for a while might be good. Better if it's with someone he does/can trust.
>>
>>3148385
>He needs more male friends he can connect with.
I just thought of a wish for the dragonballs!

Gohan: WAAAAAAAAAH, PITY ME!

My thoughts exactly. Acer might be another potential choice, if we count Raditz. Maybe... Nappa?

>>3148918
>Toss Buu into the Sun
>Buu breaks free and eats the Sun
>>
>>3149055
I'm honestly not sure how the sayins would react to... feelings. Nappa in particular, considering his previous concerns about Vegeta. Raditz might be okay. Acer too, but maybe only if we reach a point where second-fiddle is good enough. They're still really tight as far as power goes, but Gohan gets really bad combat rolls and does middling to well everywhere else.
>>
>>3149506
Gohan needs to do his own thing with his own training somewhere else entirely. Preferably without being subject to in-quest rolls.

You can't escape the rolls.

Liam won't let you.

Distant Bleating
>>
>>3149612
The thing is he'll have good training rolls, but when it comes down to for real combat, he'll botch a big one.
I laughed about Izzy being crowd control at one point, but it might be good to give Gohan some time dealing with multi-mooks so his fumbles don't hurt as much. Of course there's this >>3149617 to deal with, and everything can change for a character pretty quickly. Like getting blown up by a flash bang.
I do really want to see him do well tho.

So Goku, because he was tired of fighting, rode Shenron off into the skies.

His birthdate is in 736 or 737, and he goes on his adventures at the age of 12 or 13. He gains a few months in the HTC.

Z starts when Goku is 24 or so, and then he dies for a year. He loses one year.

Goku then died for seven years after that, losing seven years until the Buu Saga wraps up.

10 years later, Z ends, and 5 years later, GT happens. At this time, Goku is so worn out from fighting at the age of 44 or so.

Our Goku hasn't died so far, so if we add up the years he's been living with his Time Chamber usage and no discounts, that puts him at about 38 years old.
>>
>>3149506
Nappa could at the very least help Gohan see how someone acts when Majin'd and whatnot. Plus it might be good for Nappa to see that the Earthlings aren't completely goody goody, or something.

>>3149617
Liam has prevented Buu so he will return unopposed.

You're back to Peppa tonight.

>>3148675
>>3148959
Pantea's aware of her dad being in danger, but she also knows how badly this is affecting Gohan.

>>3148918
That's not exactly the best idea, for a few reasons.

>>3149617
>>3149648
Stop reading my notes.

And okay, we are back!

>>3148369
“So... we really did it? The Earth’s saved?” you ask with the biggest grin on your face.

Mom nods. “Yeah. The whole universe. It got really close though, too close for comfort.”

“Still, the threat of Majin Buu can safely be put behind us. Though if I am understanding this correctly, it is you two, Mrs. Chi-chi and Ms. 19, that we owe our extra gratitude for. If not for your quick thinking and abilities, we may not have made it.” The Supreme Kai shakes their hands.

“While I appreciate your praise, Izumi too deserves credit.” the android girl responds.

“Really, it was a team effort in the end. I’m just glad we all made it out of here in one piece.” your cousin comments.

“Attention World Tournament Combatants. Attention all World Tournament Combatants. The Final Round will resume in 5 minutes. I repeat, the Final Round will resume in 5 minutes. All remaining valid fighters who still wish to participate must return to the domes within 10 minutes.”

“...Gohan’s still not back.” you comment, mom looking away. “...He’ll be back, right?”

“Peppa... I think you should give him some time.” Pantea asks of you. You notice her eyes are a little red. “Just... let him have some time to breathe, okay?”

“Eheh. Well, I think I have to bow out too. I liked testing myself like this, but... I’ve seen my limits. I know what I need to do to go beyond them, and I know that I’m not there yet.” She looks to you. “You better watch out for next time though. I’m gonna make sure I’ll give you a run for your money, Peppa.”

Your shoulders slouch just a little, but before you can get a word in, 19 catches everyone by surprise. “I will rejoin the battle then. I am still a valid fighter, and I would like to be able to see how far I can go.”

“Are you sure, 19?” Chiaotzu asks her. “I don’t want you to get hurt...”

“I am certain. And while your concern is appreciated, allow me to assure you that I will not take unnecessary risks. Still, thank you.”

“Welp. I’m still in too then.” Dad flies down beside Raditz, the two of them finally defused. “And I know Vegeta’s still down there, but I don’t think anyone had any doubts about that.”

Well... that’s four, counting yourself.

>A. All right, I’m in too, no waiting for this!
>B. But... what about Gohan? Come on, he’s still valid too!
>C. Teleport to your brother. You want to hear him say it himself
>D. Mom, what about you? You’re still going to fight, right?
>E. Something else?
>>
>>3149684
>A. All right, I’m in too, no waiting for this!
>Besides, we'd leave Vegeta hanging, and that'd only make him more annoying.

"That skunk didn't hurt you too bad did she?"

I guess it's time to see if Peppa has her mother's nosey nature. Also:

>“Eheh. Well, I think I have to bow out too."

>“Attention World Tournament Combatants. Attention all World Tournament Combatants. The Final Round will resume in 5 minutes. I repeat, the Final Round will resume in 5 minutes. All remaining valid fighters who still wish to participate must return to the domes within 10 minutes.”
Is it 5 or 10?
Either way,

>A.
>E.
Let Gohan know that we hope he's okay. Don't bother him, but let him know that we're not mad or anything.
>>
>>3149684
If it's Izzy that's bowing out, can she shake hands with 19 to give her some energy to ensure she lost to the champ?
>>
>>3149706
I guess you can come in 5 min late?
>>
>>3149693
>>3149702
It's Izumi. My apologies, I had to type this out a bit quicker than usual.

>>3149706
Agh. It's 5, I don't know how that ended up as 10.

>>3149707
Sure.
>>
>>3149713
Thanks, that's my ideal ending to their fight provided Izzy didn't win.
>>
>>3149713
Is fine, thanks for clarifying.

“What about you mom? Are you still in this, or are you going to bow out too?” You look to her with concern, noticing a slight tear in her outfit... near her chest. “That skunk lady Towa didn’t hurt you too bad, did she?”

She’s hesitant as you see the Kai guy and Kibito turn away, the air a bit heavier than before. Mom then smiles though. “I... think for once, I should. I did have a pretty intense fight with Towa, but it’s more put into my mind on where I need to improve. Next Tournament? I’m not gonna let any of you claim the title that easily. So whoever wins, I want you to keep in mind that you’re gonna have to work even harder for that title.”

Goku gives her a hug. “Okay Maple. Kinda wish we could still have a rematch, but I’ll be ready.”

You do so as well. “Gonna make you proud when I’m declared Champion.”

Your father pats you on the head. “Don’t get too confident, I’m still aiming for that title again too.”

“And I look forward to facing you at your best, dad.”

Curiously, you see Izumi place her hand towards 19. “Don’t want them to hog all the fun. You’re an awesome fighter 19. I’ll be rooting for you too... Champ.” She adds a wink, causing 19 to smile slightly and shake her hand.

Chiaotzu clumsily, almost nervously, moves forward as well. “Y-yeah! Best of luck!”

19 shakes his hand as well. There’s an air of confidence around her now. She really is in to win this, not just to test herself, but to really win. Good. She’ll fight you at her best too now. All that leaves... is Gohan. You take a moment, considering asking mom if he’ll be back... but you figure you know the answer. It’s not what he needs to hear right now. You contact him telepathically after locking on to his Ki. ‘Hey, bro?’

There’s a pause before he replies with a hesitant, ‘...Yeah?’

You smile. ‘Glad you’re okay. Don’t have to say anything. Just... wanted to let you know I’m glad you’re not hurt.’

‘...Thanks, sis.’

You fly down to the domes, landing in the city ruins one, dad and 19 following. It’s the four of you then. The final four ready to see who has what it takes to become Champion. Vegeta stands resolute, arms crossed. “Can’t say I’m all that surprised the two of YOU are still in this, though I would like seeing Maple fail against me again. But you’re certainly not what I’d expected.” He smirks at 19. “But I’ve got some payback ready for you.”

“Well, your survival instincts will kick in eventually.” 19 replies to him, giving a shrug. “I’ll try not to be too harsh this time.”

The smirk becomes a frown as he places one hand on his hips. And then a glare appears on his face. “You’re going to regret that.”

“All righty folks, looks like these fighters will be our final four of the Tournament! Son Peppa! Son Goku! Vegeta! And Number 19!” Ken’s voice calls out, the crowds cheering. “Due to the extreme circumstances preceding this, we have decided the best way to handle this is a true Battle Royale! All domes will be open, and fighters may move between them freely! Whoever remains standing among these fighters will be declared World Martial Arts Champion, Strongest Under the Heavens! Fighters ready?!”

The four of you nod, spreading out a bit. This is it then. You thrust your fist into the air, shouting out, “BRING IT ON!”

“That’s what I like to hear! On three... two... one...!”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvGdY2qRHzg

“BEGIIIIIN!”

You, dad, and Vegeta immediately all power up to Super Saiyan. 19 remains calm, watching the three of you as she moves back. Vegeta looks set on fighting her first, which leaves him open, but dad’s anticipating both your and his movements. Gonna need to think this over carefully.

>A. Focus your efforts on Vegeta!
>B. It’s only fair then, fight dad one-on-one!
>C. 19‘s going to be a bigger threat thanks to her Ki absorbers, need to take her down first!

You and dad lock eyes, the both of you grinning wildly. “Let’s give these folks a show to start off then, huh?” You then give him... a little suggestion, telepathically.

“Sounds good to me!” dad declares as his aura flares intensely. “LET’S GO!” The two of you dash at each other, clashing with your forearms, and then flying back. Dad flies up to a building, as you stay on the ground. “ANSWER ME PEPPA!”

As he leaps down, you yell out, “School of the Turtle Hermit!” and begin a flurry of punches with him.

“JAN KEN!” he calls out, both your strikes forming into countering blows of rock, paper, and scissors.

“RASENKEN!” you roar, spiraling blows now countering dad’s attacks.

“KAMEHAMEHA!” The two of you bring your hands back and quick-fire a pair of beams, the blasts exploding and sending a small shockwave out. Your fists then clash, the raw power of it letting out another, smaller shockwave, sparks flying as you both finish, “LOOK! THE EAST IS BURNING RED!”

You’re not even really paying attention above you, what with the crowds cheering, but you know, you just know, mom liked that one. Pantea too. Though honestly, dad can’t REALLY pull off that other guy’s look, but whatever. That was fun. You back away as he tries to sweep your legs, flipping twice before you take your stance again. Dad dashes above you, trying for a hammer blow that you’re able to dodge, countering with a strike of your tail to his head.

Goku places his hands on the ground, then pushes up off it and attempts an axe kick. You see it coming, leaving an afterimage as you get behind him, placing your arms around his waist, and then suplexing him to the ground. Letting go, you try to kick him in the gut as he attempts to recover, only for him to move out of the way, anticipating your attack. Clever, dad. You back off, getting dad to chase after you, his attacks more cautious now, calculated blows that take a lot more effort to dodge.

But not enough that you’re unable to see what Vegeta and 19 are doing. The android girl seems to be baiting him into using Ki attacks, keeping her distance. He falls for it momentarily, allowing her to absorb some. Vegeta smacks the side of his head, instead opting for a new approach, trying to outspeed her and break through her defenses physically. Seems 19‘s taking him into the next zone, the toybox one. Well, should keep an eye on them... actually! Idea!

Timing this right, you grab on to dad’s arm as he tries to chop at you, then teleport RIGHT in front of Vegeta’s face... causing him to punch dad in his. You kick off the both of them, flying up... and bonking your head against a large toy robot. Huh, that one looks familiar... wait, no, focus!

“Damn it Kakarot, out of my way!”

“Hey, you watch where you’re punching!”

19 looks up at you, a curious but focused look on her face. She’s anticipating something. Dad and Vegeta both ascend to the next level. Super Saiyan 2, huh?

>A. Super Saiyan 2!
>B. Switch focus to 19, she’s going to keep getting stronger if she fights Vegeta!

Your hair spikes up as you go Super Saiyan 2 as well. You then fly around, picking up the oversized toy robot, and then flinging it right down at the three of them! Not even 19 seems to have prepared for that, as she’s caught by it falling on her...

But dad saw it coming. “DRAGON... FIIIIIIST!” he yells, a golden dragon made of Ki punching through the toy and blasting right up at you. You try to block but you’re engulfed by the attack, and end up knocked right out of the sky. A crash to the ground later hurts like heck, but... you’re not out just yet. You push yourself up and form a Ki drill, drilling into the ground and tunneling away, hiding your Ki as best you can as you do.

Sensing where Vegeta landed, you get some distance from everyone, then poke your head out of the ground to try and see if you can find 19... and find her you did. She’s up in the air with dad, holding on to his tail! “Sorry. That attack was quite impressive, but it left you wide open.”

“G-gyah!” he yells out. His Ki’s starting to drop. Ah dang it. As Vegeta starts to get up, you see her fling dad down at him as hard as she can, then holds both her hands flat and forward.

“Photon Purge! Fire!” Twin beams of energy blast down at the two of them, dealing some massive damage and tearing the place apart, toys getting blasted to bits, an oversized dollhouse and some dice getting knocked in your direction. You’re able to avoid the damage, but dad and Vegeta just took the brunt of it.

But... this might leave 19 exposed. She could anticipate you attacking her, but if you’re able to catch her by surprise after that release of energy, you can do some major damage. At the same time, dad and Vegeta are prone for just a second. Could attack either of them while they’re down.

>A. Raio-ken! Smash into 19 while she’s open!
>B. Fire a Ki blast to distract her, then find something else to throw at her!
>C. Vegeta’s down, hit him while you’ve got a chance!
>D. Dad’s down, get to him before he gets back up!
>E. Something else?

Additionally, she might get suspicious of a ki blast directed at her, either intentionally failed sneaky blast or aim at the others.
>>
>>3150254
>>3150261
>>3150272
You could try it, though it may be risky.

Idea get! Now to see if it works. You dash away from dad and Vegeta, carefully watching 19 as she tries to locate you. Spotting the remnants of that oversized dollhouse, you get under it and start to push up, making it look like you’ve thrown it at her. She takes the bait... a little too well, firing a Ki blast into the dollhouse that breaks it apart and ends up hitting you. But she was distracted by it, and that’s all that matters! As it breaks apart, you bring your Ki soaring back up. 19‘s eyes widen as you scream out...

“RAIO-KEEEEEN!”

Before she can react, you blast right at her, smashing into her with enough force that she’s almost knocked right out of the dome! And if anything, it seems to hit her with enough power that she almost gets knocked out herself... not really sure how a robot goes unconscious, but that’s questions for another time. She’s thrown up into the roof of the dome... and smacks into it, breaking a hole through from the raw impact, but not enough to send HER through as well. She falls to the ground, hitting it with a loud crash. She’s down, but not out.

“NUMBER 19 HAS BEEN KNOCKED DOWN! BUT WILL SHE STAY DOWN FOR THE COUNT?” Ken calls out, the crowds cheering your name. “ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR...”

Meanwhile, dad and Vegeta are up again, and dad seems like he’s having a harder time fighting the other Saiyan now. Vegeta’s blows are leaving much more of an impact, and getting some of his strength drained by 19 can’t be good for him. “What’s the matter Kakarot? Realizing you’re no match for your rightful ruler?! Where’s all that bluster you used to have?! Your Saiyan pride! That Tuffle wife of yours really HAS made you go soft!”

A strong uppercut sends dad up, knocking him against one of those shattered oversized dice. He... smirks. “Still got... one trick left...”

“Then let’s see it. Because I’ve got something I’VE been saving as well.”

>A. Make sure 19 stays down! Pin her with something!
>B. Grab 19 and toss her out of the hole!
>C. Teleport to Vegeta and catch him by surprise! His guard’s down!
>D. Grab on to dad and hit Vegeta with him!

Changing to A, better to keep her down than give her a chance to give her a chance to absorb our Ki.

You need something to pin her down and keep her from getting back up... agh, but what? Damn it, you REALLY need to learn the Clothes Beam one of these days! Your eyes look around... and find a giant toy steamroller. WELP. IT’LL DO! You bolt over to it, grabbing the steamroller and flying back to 19. Okay! THIS’LL KEEP HER D- what’s that light?

“HRRAAAAAAAAHHH!” 19 yells out, some actual emotion in her voice, as a massive barrier explodes from all around her, lifting her body off the ground slightly and causing Ken to stop the count. It explodes upwards and knocks the toy out of your hands, then hits you as well, a wall of energy blasting into you. Just like you did to her, 19‘s attack is enough to send YOU to the roof, blasting it away... but not knocking you down, or out. You still plummet to the ground and land hard on your face.

Ow.

You then hear... laughter? 19‘s laughing? What’s so funny? And “This... this was fun. I think... I think I am starting to understand you all a bit better now.”

“Are you?” you ask, trying to move your body. Okay you’re not moving it very well. Oh boy, whatever isn’t numb hurts like hell.

Her head turns to you. “I think... I understand why you all continue to train, even in times of peace. Not just for threats that may come to the Earth... but because you all actually enjoy it. And... I think I have found the part of me that enjoys this type of competition as well. Thank you Peppa. And... thank all of you for helping me get this far.”

“You talk like you’ve lost.” you call out to her weakly, trying to push yourself back up.

“I used up what remained of my energy to try to knock you out. While it prevented you from keeping me down, I am no longer able to battle. That gambit was the last I could muster.” She’s able to push herself up just enough to look at herself in the screens. She then falls back down. “...I admit defeat.”

“YOU HEARD IT HERE FOLKS! NUMBER 19 HAS CONCEDED! THE ONLY REMAINING FIGHTERS ARE SON GOKU, SON PEPPA, AND VEGETA!” Ken yells out, the crowds cheering for her, some even going “aww” at her little display. You notice Chiaotzu smiling and wiping tears from his eyes, Guldo and Izzy patting his shoulders. “CAN THE FORMER CHAMPION RECLAIM HIS TITLE? WILL LAST TOURNAMENT’S RUNNER-UP TAKE HOME THE TITLE? OR WILL THE JUNIOR CHAMPION STAND UP AS THE STRONGEST UNDER THE HEAVENS?!”

You notice dad and Vegeta have taken their battle to the previous dome, and then watch in amazement as your father’s Ki starts to skyrocket. Even Vegeta’s taken by surprise. His hair grows longer as the entire area shakes, waves crashing against the domes. “HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!”

A light erupts from him, blinding most everyone. But not you. You smile as you see your father stare down Vegeta... transformed. “Do it, dad.”

“So. You wanted me at my best? Well here it is.” Goku, his voice deeper, more serious, clenches his fists and yells out, “THIS... IS SUPER SAIYAN 3!”

Vegeta... smirks. A ball of Ki forms in his hands as he leaps into the air. He tosses it up. “BURST OPEN AND MIX!”

So. This is it. Vegeta’s trump card. You push yourself onto your feet. You don’t care how much that last attack took out of you anymore. This is the final three. It’s you, dad, and Vegeta. You’ve come so close, you can’t give up now! You WILL be Champion!

In the Discord, we were talking about making a mini-Hakkero furnace for Izumi, as a way she can cultivate large amounts of energy to deal with future foes.

The mini-Hakkero (ミニ八卦炉, "mini-Eight Trigram Furnace" or "mini-Elemental Furnace") is a magical furnace that takes the shape of an octagonal block, made of wood, with the eight trigrams printed in a circle on its front. The internal components were originally made of iron or steel, but replaced by the mythical hihi'irokane metal after it became rusted. Despite its small size (it fits easily in the hand), it is a potent source of heat and magical energy, capable of reducing a mountain to ashes.

In addition to its normal functions, one of the furnace's corners releases a cool breeze, and the hihi'irokane model gleans negative ions from the air. It is also believed that the mini-Hakkero may function as an amulet for protection and good fortune.

Hihi'irokane (crimson ore) is a red-colored mythic metal or alloy depicted in some ancient Japanese legends that allegedly possessed strange physical properties, and could be used to forge some extraordinary metal alloys. It is analogous to other fictional or mythic metals such as Orichalcum or Mithril.

To make this, a seven-part scavenger hunt:
1. Go to Annin to ask about the Hakkero
2. Go to Konpei ask about Ki Control
3. Go to Trip to ask about the Octagon Seal
4. Go to Bulma to ask about Ki Absorbers
5. Go to Melchior to ask about what materials are needed and commissioning him
6. Go to Beelzebub to ask about hiring any servants of his to possess this tool like the Masamune
7. Go to Baba to ask about scrying for the necessary materials
