Last time, on Dragon Ball Tuffle Quest Kai! Baby began his invasion of Earth, Gohan working to rescue as many as possible from his clutches, but ending up taken over by Baby himself! In a last ditch effort to stop the mechanical menace, Gohan sacrificed himself, but only managed to injure and not destroy Baby, while denying the Neo Machine Mutant a host. Taken to the world of the Supreme Kai, Gohan prepares to face Baby once more, but will it be enough? And what of the others still in space, trying to stop Basilea’s Dragon Ball plot? Good luck, Gohan! Good luck, Izumi! Good luck, Peppa!

Some time before Baby’s arrival on Earth...

“Are you sure about this, mom?” you ask her almost pleadingly.

“They’ve still found traces of it in my blood. I can hold it off, but it’ll take exceptional effort.” mom tells you.

You clench your fists. “Then I should stay here too. It keeps... it keeps calling to me, I know I can hear it-!”

“Peppa. You’re not infected. I’ve checked everything I can. They’ve checked everything they can. There are no traces of nanomachines in you.” Maple does her best to explain to you. She gives you a sweet, calming smile. “I know he’s trying to get at you, but you’ll be fine. Once I’m in the clear, I’ll be able to help. We just... don’t need someone able to teleport under their control.”

Videl places her hand on your shoulder. She looks to Maple confidently. “We’ll stop her. Stop her and whoever else is working with her.”

“Our objective would then be the final Dragon Ball.” 19 comments. “Which we still need to-”

“The Galactic Patrol has it.” Raditz interrupts her. “They’ve had it for a long, long time. Jaco even mentioned he brought it to Bulma some time in the past to have it analyzed, confirming it as genuine. And after some of the Saibamen samples were stolen, security was significantly ramped up around it.”

>A. All right, let’s head to the ship then

“So, should we take the ship? Or would it be better to teleport right there?” you ask.

“If we want to get there quickly, teleporting would be the key.” Raditz replies. “I can probably give Jaco or someone a head’s up.”

“Then it is on you, Peppa. Are you ready to depart?” 19 asks.

“Well... so long as we have the Dragon Balls...” You tap your chin. Hmm. There’s a thought. “Could leave them here with you, mom. Or... well, is there any way of preventing them from being used? I mean, I’d guess something bad might happen if one of them were to end up cracked open...”

“If Baby does manage to take control of me, I don’t think it would be wise to leave the Dragon Balls here. And without us knowing where or who their creator is, it’d be hard to completely shut them down. Piccolo’s had enough difficulty with the ones on Earth.” Maple rubs the back of her neck. “And... yeah we probably shouldn’t try breaking them. Who knows what kind of terrible things might happen if that much magical energy leaks out of them.”

“I’ll go get the Dragon Balls then.” Pantea says as she heads out, Raditz tapping on his Scouter to contact Jaco.

“So... why exactly can’t Piccolo shut down the ones back on Earth?” Videl asks mom.

“When Piccolo merged back with Kami, they became the being who created the Black Star Dragon Balls in the first place once more... but lacked a substantial amount of power that being originally had, as hard as it might be to believe. Not just physical power, but skill with his magical arts. Piccolo’s been working to regain that lost strength.” Mom looks down. “...The alternative isn’t something we really want to consider.”

Raditz gives a nod confirming Jaco knows you’re coming. Pantes comes back and shows the Capsule containing the Dragon Balls, stowing it away. Giru floats near you. 19 looks to you one more time. “Are we ready to depart?”

>A. Affirmative. Let’s go

“Affirmative. Let’s go.” You place your fingers on your forehead and try to lock on to Jaco’s Ki. Videl, Raditz, Giru, and 19 all gather around you. Pantea hands the case containing the Capsules to Videl, the two sharing a nod. “Mom, Pantea, take care, and hope this clears up soon. Let’s keep in touch just in case.”

“Will do. Best of luck.”

You teleport away with a wave, appearing a short distance away from the little alien. Jaco turns and gives your group two thumb’s up, grinning. “Great! Great, you guys are here! Aaaaand not a moment too soon. We’ve got some reports of ships headed here.”

You look around for a brief moment then turn to Raditz. “Uh, where exactly is ‘here?’” you ask quietly, noticing the interior of the place. Looks like some kind of space station.

“Galactic Patrol HQ. What ships are we talking about?” Raditz asks, heading forward.

“Planet Trade Organization.” Jaco replies, both he and Raditz motioning your group to follow.

You try to sense in the direction of the ships, sensing some fairly strong Ki signatures... one of them definitely Kuriza. Jaco brings you all to a large door with a couple guards flanking it, seems they’re in Jiya’s armor, though neither seem to be him. Jaco tries to head forward, though the pair block him with their spear... rifles? Seem to be some kind of weapon capable of firing things at the very least. Jaco crosses his arms. “Excuse me.”

“You’ve still got those reports to file.” one of the guards tells him in an annoyed tone. “Back to work.”

“Oh come on!” Jaco throws his arms up in frustration. “It’s not like there’s more important things going on!”

“They were due two days ago.” the other sighs out.

Crossing his arms, Jaco grumbles and marches off. Raditz shrugs and shakes his head. He gets out his Galactic Patrol badge. “We need to be quick about this.”

“Right this way, Raditz.” the first one places his hand on a panel, the door opening. You’re led through a large vault with several things under very, very tight security. Barriers and small cameras everywhere. Lot of weird artifacts too.

You look around the various artifacts, taking care not to poke around with any of them. Strange jars and scrolls, some curious weapons, a gigantic gauntlet, some bizarre boxes, even a large sword almost as tall as you are. A couple explosives too. Wait... explosives. You look in the direction Jaco went. “...Uncle Raditz, what would be the Galactic Patrol’s policy on dealing with something like Baby?”

“Well, if that prettyboy Merus can’t handle it, and I can’t handle it, they’d probably quarantine the places he’s taken control of and lock it all down. Given that we might have a cure for it, they’d be able to use that.” he responds, walking forward with the Jiya-like Patroller.

“And if they do not?” 19 asks.

“Giru, Giru, high probability of using the extinction bomb to starve out the being! 74%!” the little robot beeps aloud.

Raditz sighs. “It won’t come down to that. No guarantee any of them would even work against Baby or his little Machine Mutant entourage, so better not to waste them.”

“I’m not sure that’s an encouraging thought.” Videl comments, narrowing her eyes.

You come across a few more things. What looks like a strange, corrupted sword made of a sickly green crystal. Another that seems to be... some kind of laser sword? You know there are a lot of swords in this place. Really odd. Something especially odd catches your eye. Something... that looks exceptionally dense. Almost seems to be an article of clothing or something, robes maybe?

“Hey, what’s this?” you ask Raditz.

He looks back. “...Huh. That’s a new one.”

“It’s something we recovered from a black market bust. We believe it is an artifact from planet Z’S.” the Patroller replies. Raditz

“Planet what?” Videl tilts her head.

“Z’S.” he repeats.

“...Zees?” you try to pronounce. You recall the name from somewhere... wait.

“Z’S. A high-gravity world with uniquely adapted life forms. A group of illegal salvage operators managed to bring it off-world and tried to sell it on the black market.” He reaches a pedestal near the back of the room, under glass and with several barriers and alarms surrounding it. He inputs something on a small pad near it. And there it is. The final Dragon Ball.

You sense Kuriza and his group finally arrive.

>A. Ask more about this Z’S planet, mention that Vegeta and Nappa were probably there not too long ago
>B. Let’s get the ball and get going, Basilea’s not going to wait

As Raditz looks over the final Dragon Ball, you look over the strange robes some more, commenting, “Vegeta and Nappa apparently went to that planet not too long ago, doing some training there. Even we have heard some unusual things about it recently. What more do you guys know about it?”

“Z’S lacks any real substantial information due to its lethally high gravity, other than it being on the outskirts of a dead galaxy.” the Patroller replies.

“The Galaxy the destroyed planet Eros resided in.” Raditz adds. “Technically outside the galaxy proper.”

“Correct. Not exactly contested by any major power due to its high gravity, but it does appear to have the remnants of some sort of civilization on it. Any salvage from the world would catch a high price on the black market.” Disabling the final security measures protecting the Dragon Ball, the Patroller hands it over to Raditz.

“Still a strange name for the planet.” Videl adds.

Stuff to think on, then. You next decide to check on Kuriza, sensing that he and the Ginyu Force are on the station now, heading somewhere. You decide to contact the little alien. ‘Hey Kuriza, been a while. What brings you here?’

Kuriza seems to stop and... sigh loudly enough that his thoughts carry it over. ‘Oh good. It’s YOU.’

So still doing this huh. Well, might as well try and stay friendly. ‘Listen, not trying to get in your way here. We’re just here to prevent Basilea from completing her goals. Why are you here?’

‘I need to meet with the Galactic Patrol over the captured traitors. We’ve detected several vessels headed in the direction of our worlds, the ones the traitors on Brench seem familiar with. This is a potential enemy on our doorsteps. Given what happened recently on one of the Patrol Worlds, I believe they would have the most information on it.’ Kuriza stops moving. ‘...You seem to be short a couple members. Where is Mrs. Maple?’

You flinch. He has to know one way or another. ‘Mom... ended up having to stay behind on planet Pital. She got infected with some of the nanomachines. New ones, more dangerous ones. She’s staying there to keep it from spreading. Pantea too.’

Now he’s completely stopped. The Ginyus stop with him, concerned. ‘...Tell me everything that happened. Actually, no, meet up with us, then tell me everything in-person.’

You rub the side of your head. ‘All right.’ You turn to everyone. “Hey, um... Kuriza wants to meet with us. Like, pronto. He’s meeting with the Galactic King and it sounds like the Machine Mutants are up to something.”

“It would be wise to make sure everyone is on the same page.” 19 comments. “We should be wary, though. We have no idea when Basilea will make her next move.”

https://youtu.be/PTiMgnJAhcg

And so you all end up meeting with Kuriza’s entourage and the Galactic King, going through everything that happened since the encounter on Tech-Tech. The Luud cult, the nanomachine meteor missile that you helped Merus and Jiya stop (your uncle grumbling under his breath at the mention of Merus’ name), the encounters on M2 and M1, and eventually what happened on Pital.

Kuriza glares at you when you get to that last part. Videl looks to Jeice before he can speak up, sensing the tension and trying to cut Kuriza off. She asks the red-skinned man, “Have you noticed anything off since you got that scratch? Headaches, metallic taste in your mouth, anything?”

He shakes his head. “Nah, all cleared up pretty quick.”

“So... these Machine Mutants seem to amassing in force, and this ‘Baby’ thing is their secret weapon.” Captain Ginyu rubs his chin contemplatively. “What else can you tell us about them?”

“One of their leaders demanded that we leave their planet immediately. He had this... pyramid-like flying fortress that was observing my battle with Baby. I can draw a picture if you guys would like. Er... anyone have some pencils and paper?” You’re handed a tablet and a datapad by a small, Tech-Tech-looking member of the Galactic Patrol. Quickly you doodle a rough sketch of it.

Upon seeing it, Sorbet’s eyes widen. “That... was one of the unknown ships we detected!”

Raditz crosses his arms, tail swaying behind him. “So that confirms it, they’re definitely on the move.”

Kuriza places his hands behind his back and addresses the Galactic King. “Then it is settled. We need those prisoners transferred immediately. If these Machine Mutants wish to threaten my empire, we will need every single advantage we can gather.”

https://youtu.be/o7_fVMuAdKw

“I am afraid that it is not that easy, we still have many things we need to learn from them as well.” the octopus-like alien replies.

Kuriza squints. “A potential enemy is at our doorstep and you want to drag your feet helping us?”

“Um... actually, before we get into this, Kuriza, have you seen any more reports of Basilea?”

He angrily turns his head towards you. “Maybe YOU should have paid better attention to her the last time you saw her!” he spits out. “YOU are the one who let her get away aren’t you?!”

>A. Hey, that’s not fair! I couldn’t just leave my mom out in the open like that!

You take a deep breath and calm yourself. Okay. That stung. But he’s just as upset as you are, and probably under even more stress. Lowering your head, you admit, “...Basilea did get away because of me, yes. And... I’m sorry. Part of me still thinks it should have been me that ended up infected with it instead of her. And that’s why I want to make sure we have all the information on Basilea that we can get. We have an idea on where she’s going. But we should know where she’s been too. Can you help us, please? I want to make sure mom will be okay.”

His arms tremble at his sides, his fists balled up tight. But he lets the moment pass, then exhales loudly. “Sorbet, give them the last three known locations in our records.”

“Very well, my Lord.” the little koala alien gets a datapad of his own out.

You bow in appreciation. “Thank you.”

He turns his head. 19 takes a step forward, looking him over. “...I may not be the best at reading the emotions of others yet, but do you really believe no one can tell how blunt you are being about this, Kuriza?”

“Excuse me?”

“You do not come out and say it and yet you make it abundantly clear you are upset with Peppa over Maple.” she tells him rather bluntly, her voice without much emotion behind it. “You will only serve to hinder yourself the more you let this bubble under the surface.”

“And what do you know about ANY of this?!” Kuriza barks at her.

“I am able to understand the position you are in.” She brings her hand to her chest. “Maple and her friends helped give me a chance as well. I do not fully comprehend all the emotions you may be feeling, but I too am worried about her well-being. Especially considering the foes we are up against now. You are rather blunt about how you see Peppa as at fault for this. But blaming her will not change any of what has happened. Dwelling on it will hinder you. And you can not afford that.”

You can’t help but have a shy little smile on your face hearing 19 say all that. Even Sorbet seems to give a little approving nod as he hands the datapad over. You quickly look through all of it. Hmm... wait. There’s a figure matching her description on... PTO Planet 17, that seems to imply she was spotted with a high-ranking official... wait, that was the guy on Luud! The next one, her appearing on Planet 448, where it seems she was spotted stealing a ship. Last is Planet 359... the planet where the Machine Mutant armada seems to be headed towards. And that was RIGHT after you encountered her on Pital!

Raditz and Videl look it over with you, Sorbet explaining that the ship that was stolen is unusual due to its old age, schedules for the scrapyard.

>A. Kuriza... she could have set up a trap on that world, it might be a foothold for their invasion!

You give 19 an appreciative smile and a thumbs up. Though... wait a second. “Kuriza... she could have set a trap on that world! Maybe use it as a foothold for the Machine Mutants’ invasion!” you tell the little alien boy. “All the things we’ve seen so far have a pattern. She would leave behind some sort of dangerous mechanized life form, usually converted from local fauna, sometimes imported from off-world. Were there any reports of odd creatures on these planets recently?”

Sorbet scratches the top of his head. “Now that you mention it, cryptid reports were on the rise over at 359.”

“Then it sounds like this is the perfect job for the Ginyu Force!” Captain Ginyu shouts out excitedly. “Come on men, are we going to let some metallic monsters show us up?!”

“No way, Captain!” the rest of them cheer.

Kuriza cracks a brief, genuine smile, but returns to his stern expression as he looks to you and 19. “Very well. We shall up that planet’s defenses at once.”

You look over the datapad again. “...There’s something else that doesn’t add up though. The place she stole that old ship from.”

Videl and Raditz lean over, Giru hovering closer as well. “Maybe taking a new base of operations so she wouldn’t end up caught on any worlds?” Videl speculates.

Your free hand plays with your ponytail. “It could be. But I don’t think it was quite using the ship... well, AS a ship. Maybe there was something inside it.”

“Highly unlikely.” Sorbet tells you. “It was an old ship. The only things still functional inside it would have been life support and its engines, and even they would have been run down.”

Giru beeps lowly and notices something. “...This incident occurred shortly before the incident on Anesidora, Giru, Giru. High probability that the two were related!”

...

Oh. Oh NO. “That IS all they would need with it! An engine and rudimentary life support... no, not even that, really!”

Warning sirens go off all over the station.

“UNIDENTIFIED SHIP APPROACHING. WARNING. UNIDENTIFIED SHIP APPROACHING. WARNING-”

The Galactic King lets out a yelp and turns to the little Tech-Tech patroller. “What’s going on? Somebody contact that thing!”

You can sense something. Something that seems like it’s on the edge of this star system, and rapidly approaching. Several more Patrollers bolt into the room you’re all in. “It’s headed right for the station! Sir, we need to get you out of here!”

“How?! What could be drawing it here? What of our defenses?!” He waves his tentacles at them. “How long do we have?!”

“Ship looks to be highly shielded and is rapidly picking up speed. We... have approximately 13 minutes!”

Sorbet looks like he’s ready to bolt, though the Ginyus seem to be more curious about this than anything else. “Why would they choose now to strike? It’s barely been 30 minutes since WE entered this system.”

Guldo gasps. “That’s why she stole one of OUR ships! She’s not targeting them! She’s targeting US!”

“Lord Kuriza, we should evacuate as well.” Sorbet tells the boy.

“And what, let this challenge go unopposed? I think not.” He marches forward. “I’ll handle it myself.”

“Perhaps we may be able to assist, Lord Kuriza!” Ginyu calls to him.

“Very well.”

“Jaco, get me a suit.” Raditz demands. “I’m heading out there too.”

You look towards where you sensed the ship. It... has an ominously strong presence to it. Kuriza might be able to do it on his own, and with Raditz helping it might even be overkill, but you don’t like what you’re feeling. 19 looks towards you. “...If you wish to assist them, recall that I do not require any sort of space suit. I would be able to help end this if you wish.”

>A. Actually, we might have a bit more time on our hands than we think. Guldo, how long can you hold your breath?
>B. Better to let them do it and assist in evacuating, just in case

“Count us in too, then.” you give her a thumb’s up. “Are you good with that, Kuriza? What should we do to help?”

He frowns as he looks back. 19 seems to give him a glare. Kuriza shakes his head. “Fine. Just be aware that you can not survive in space like I can, Peppa.”

“Right. I’ll get a suit too.”

“Guess that leaves me to help prep everyone for evacuation.” Videl comments. “Last line of defense.”

“If we need, I can also teleport everyone away. Instant Transmission.” you remind her. “Still, we should prevent this from hitting in the first place.”

“Window’s closing, come on.” Raditz tells you, motioning for you to follow. Both of you are given Galactic Patrol suits, yours feeling a little cumbersome. “Might be good to use that Clothes Beam of yours to reinforce them. Our Ki attacks could prove to be an issue if we aren’t careful.”

“Ah, good thinking.” As you reinforce yours and his, you think to ask, “We’ve got about 9 minutes. Is there any world nearby where I could teleport everyone?”

“A couple. Once it passes the 4 minute and it hasn’t been destroyed, I’ll tell you where to go.”

The two of you end up on Kuriza’s ship, heading to the central section. Before you do, though, you look to Guldo. “Say... that ability of yours might give us the edge we need. How long can you hold your breath, Guldo?”

“Ah, good thinking! And... well... about a minute?”

“A minute should be enough.”

8 minutes. You can sense it getting closer. That it even HAS Ki is unsettling. Still isn’t in visual range yet. Kuriza finishes transforming into his true form. He raises a finger up, a sphere of energy appearing above it. “I’ll make something large enough to engulf it completely. Push it back with your attacks, aimed at mine. Understood?”

“YES SIR!”

You and Raditz transform into Super Saiyans, 19 readying herself. Kuriza launches his attack into space, a massive sphere of energy with planet-breaking power. Right into the direction of the incoming ship... and hits the shielding on it. It slows... but not enough. The Ginyu Force all ready their own attacks...

>A. A Rasen Kamehameha will do the trick!

You power up even further, into Super Saiyan 2, bringing your hands back. Raditz does the same, charging two spheres of energy in his hands. 19 brings her hands forward. But as you start to charge an attack, you... feel something. Something off. Something familiar. Something-

...

No.

No not again!

You look around. Where is it? Where IS it? It’s not coming from the ship is it? No... might be but-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5m6FSpRRHQ

“Pep... pa...”

“YEEAAAAGH!” Jeice yells out. An unsettling power takes hold of him. It’s back. No, damn it!

“Jeice, what’s wrong?” Burter questions, trying to float closer, only to get an elbow in his helmet, cracking it slightly. “AGH! JEICE WHAT THE HELL?!”

His red body moves against his will as he yells out in pain. He lunges at Kuriza and manages to grab on to him. You react on near instinct. Launching a weak attack that does little more than barely add to the blast, you focus on bolt to Kuriza and Jeice, knocking the red-skinned man away. He continues to yell out in pain as his body stops, hand forward and firing a large red Ki blast. That knocks Kuriza aside, the rest of the Ginyu Force trying to move to protect him. You clearly did do a number on him, but he seems to still be forced to attack, even in spite of the damage.

While all this is happening, Raditz and 19 push on and fire out a pair of beams at Kuriza’s attack. 19‘s manages to push hard enough to keep slowing the ship, now in visual range... and massive, bloated, and distorted, at least three times larger than it should be. Raditz’s however doesn’t directly go for the sphere. His is aimed at the barrier keeping it from breaking through. The twin beams he launches crash hard into it, and with a final push of strength he manages to break through the barrier temporarily.

The obstacle gone, the sphere Kuriza launched tears through the ship, propelled by 19‘s attack. A titanic explosion seems to destroy it... but not completely. Chunks of it are still intact, if no longer accelerating, but still moving forward. The explosion did seem to set them on different courses, at least not headed towards the Galactic Patrol HQ.

“Jeice, get ahold of yourself, man!” Ginyu calls out to him.

“Ya gotta fight it!” Recoome tells him.

“I’m... I’m losing air, guys.” Burter states. “Gonna have to head in!”

Kuriza, rather than showing anger at the attempt or even a cold and vengeful one... seems worried. He’s shaking. There’s barely a scratch on him and yet he’s... scared. Guldo looks to you as if to ask “Now?”

>A. After the last bit of the ship, it could still cause trouble!

Quickly firing the Clothes Beam at Burter to repair his cracked helmet, you turn to Guldo. “Hold him in place! Don’t freeze just yet!” you tell him. First thing’s first, you place your hand on Kuriza’s shoulder, and put two fingers to your forehead, locking on to Sorbet’s Ki. You teleport him out of danger and to the little koala man, giving them a brief salute, and then teleporting back outside, near Captain Ginyu. You see that Jeice has been successfully held in place by Guldo. Good. He isn’t going anywhere.

Raditz and 19 work to blast some of the chunks of the ship that were still headed towards the station, but the largest one is still moving off on its own. You bring your hands back and yell out, “RAIO-KEN!” as you blitz forward, leaving a trail of sparks in your wake. You begin to charge up your attack and fire it properly this time, and though the lack of an atmosphere makes it a bit more awkward than you’re used to, even causing your body to spin around slightly as you accelerate past it. But you stop accelerating and turn to face it. “RASEN... KAMEHAMEHAAAAAAA!”

The massive beam blasts through the remaining part of the ship, tearing through its weakened shielding and ripping it to shreds, until not even dust is left. It’s... it’s over. You float for a bit, exhaling loudly. “Is everyone okay?”

“PEPPA, RADITZ, 19, THEY’RE HERE!” Videl yells out. “Those two girls with Basilea, they appeared out of nowhere and one of them took the Dragon Balls from me!”

Guldo still holds Jeice in place, but the red-skinned man’s Ki is starting to drop... really quickly.

“Guldo, we’re gonna need your help here!” you call out to him.

“B-but what about Jeice?” he asks in a panicked voice, telekinetic grip slipping slightly.

“You heard the little lady! We can hold him down, you help her out!” Ginyu shouts to him. “Recoome! Burter! Three man fighting pose on my mark!”

“AYE, CAPTAIN!”

Raditz and 19 move closer. “We’ll help them out, you go in and get those Dragon Balls back.” Your uncle gives you a thumb’s up and taps his chest.

“All right. Good luck. Ready Guldo?”

“R-ready.” he gulps.

“THREE! TWO! ONE! GINYU FORCE, MOVE OUT!”

You and Guldo teleport in, seeing Videl trying to grab at a green gum girl. Oh. Oh her. You’re about to signal Guldo to use it, but she seems to notice you. “Aww, if it ain’t Baby’s soon-to-be-Queen.”

“Shun Shun. You’re not getting the last Dragon Ball.”

“Yeah nCLOTHES BEAM!”

Wait WHA-AGH! You quickly try to tear it away. Some... kind of large pink dressOH THAT LITTLE! Shun Shun’s fingers on her forehead, she laughs at you smugly. “Hahahaha!~ Ta-ta, Peppa~!”

Crap, no time to waste! You telepathically tell him to do it, and Guldo places his hand on the side of your leg. And then... everything just seems to stop around you, the colors feeling dulled, the very air around you just... still. The little green alien motions for you to move quickly. You dash at Shun Shun, seeing the edge of the Capsule Case sticking in the side of her body. You yank it away... ick. Got some kinda goop on it. Okay wave it off wave it off! Move back to Guldo pronto! You position yourself like you were when she was about to teleport away. Nod to Guldo. Got it!

“Next time maybe you’ll get to see my toy, all repaired!” Shun Shun does a little wave as she teleports away. She bought it. Whew. Haru Haru leaves shortly after, apparently frustrated that she couldn’t find the Dragon Ball.

You take off your helmet and sigh out heavily. “Too close.”

Everyone gathers shortly after, Jeice out cold and... exceptionally ill. He looks like that one guy from Brench. The rest of the Ginyus seem to be taking this pretty hard, too. And Kuriza... doesn’t look mad anymore. Sad, apologetic even.

You look over Jeice. “He’s in pretty bad shape. I think you guys should get him to planet Pital as soon as you can, they’ll be able to heal him up. It’s where mom is, too.”

Videl pulls out something. Ah, a Senzu. “Here. Should hold him over until you get there. We owe him, after all. This is the least we can do.”

“Are you sure?” 19 questions her. “We do not have many left.”

“They’ve helped us more than enough to deserve this.”

Ginyu takes it and nods. “Then we shall be on our way.”

Kuriza humbly looks up at you, his head lowered. “...Thank you, Peppa.”

You give him a sweet smile back. “Just glad you’re okay.”

He lets out a soft laugh. “Indeed. We’ll meet again. I still have to plan for this coming attack, but... you did help me see what I need to work on. Ginyus, take your comrade to Pital. I will be waiting for your safe return.”

“Thank you, Lord Kuriza!” Ginyu salutes him.

With their departure, you and Raditz check with the Galactic Patrol on the situation in the vault. “Was there anything in the vault that they took? They were after the Dragon Ball, but there could’ve been any number of things in there they might’ve stolen.”

“There were a few.” one of the Jiya-like Patrollers responds. “A crystalline blade that was rumored to be some sort of cursed artifact. A scroll that was contraband originating from a distant galaxy. And a...” He pauses. “...Magazine? Title of it is not on record.”

The Galactic King coughs. “W-well. We should probably... get it back. As soon as possible. R-Raditz! Make it your number one priority.”

Your uncle just facepalms. “Great.”

“I can only imagine what kind of issues that weapon might cause in Basilea’s hands.” Videl comments. “

You cross your arms. “On top of that, we have the Dragon Balls, and she’ll be aware of it pretty soon. We have the upper hand for now, but it won’t last long. What should we do now?”

“We may be able to set up an ambush for her.” 19 tells you. “Lure her out and take her Dragon Balls.”

Videl cracks her knuckles. “I want to take this to her. She has to have some sort of final battleground she’s waiting for all this to go down on. We find that place and take her down while she thinks she’s about to win.”

“Giru, Giru, calculating potential battlegrounds!”

Raditz looks to you. “Well Peppa, what do you think?”

...

What do do...?

>>3788843
Raditz seems like he’s willing to consider either option. Videl and 19 have laid out their ideas. Time IS running out. Do you wait for her to realize things have gone awry and lay a trap for Basilea? Do you chase after her and give her the impression you only have the one left? Perhaps back up Kuriza on defending against the invading Machine Mutants? Or, maybe, you prioitize keeping the Dragon Balls away, hide them somewhere so they’re not on you?

Decisions, decisions...

>A. 19‘s got the right idea
>B. Videl, Giru, let’s find that battleground
>C. Kuriza will need our help, let’s put away confronting Basilea
>D. Dragon Balls are highest priority, we need to get them somewhere far, far away

A won't likely nab all of them, and keeping one away is just as good as half of them. B sounds good but never trust a cheat to a fair battle. As for D, leaving them undefended isn't wise and who knows if Basilea has divinations available.

Okay.

“In all honesty... I think we should help Kuriza out instead.”

They give you a surprised look. “Wait, really?”

“I mean, we could set a trap for her or chase after her directly, but the first, I’m not sure they’ll all be there, and the second, I don’t think she’s going to play fair with us. Plus, even trying to hide the Dragon Balls away would probably cause more issues than having them with us. Meanwhile, the Machine Mutants are probably going to prove to be a lot of trouble for Kuriza. We should help him out.”

Your uncle lets out a soft chuckle. “Well, a reasonable plan.”

“Guess we’re outvoted on that one.” Videl sighs.

“If you believe this is the best course of action, we shall proceed.” 19 nods at you.

“Raditz! You still need to get those things back!” the Galactic King yells out.

“Yeah yeah, we’ll get to it. Don’t get your crown in a twist.” he waves dismissively, Jaco reacting in clearly feigned shock to hide a chuckle. “If you’re going to teleport there, you’ll need someone to lock on to. Let’s see... 359 isn’t a very populous world. Hmm... but if they’re expecting an invasion, Garana might already be there.”

“Can you lock on to him?” you ask as you place your fingers on your forehead.

“Yeah, give me a moment.”

With the individual located, everyone holds on to you and teleports away. You appear in front of a large, Gorilla-like alien with pointed ears, his armor decorated with a cape. He clearly wasn’t expecting you all to arrive. “W-what the devil is- ...Raditz? ”

“We’re helping Kuriza deal with this threat. How long do we have until they arrive?”

“Now hold on, what do you mean you’re here to help deal with it?! We recieved no communications from him and-”

“We can argue over that or we can stop the Machine Mutants.” Videl interrupts “Time’s of the essence.”

He shakes his head and grumbles. “Fine. They’ve reached the edge of the system and seem to be headed here. Got 13 minuites tops. Lord Kuriza should be here in 9.”

“Can we get any info on their ships? We need to be ready for anything.”

The gorilla man motions for you to follow him, bringing you all to a large monitor displaying several lines of text accompanying large diagrams of ships. Lots of them, but many sharing similar designs. You notice a few pyramid-shaped ones too, just like the one you encountered on M1. Number of them seem to be crescent-shaped, others more closely resembling ones you saw under the control of the Cult.

“I’d guess these are the Capital ships” Raditz guesses, pointing to the pyramid-shaped ones. “They should be high-priority, though I suspect they’re pretty well defended. How many have you been able to spot so far?”

“Three. Few dozen others, mostly smaller craft.” one of the technicians explains. “This seems to be more of an expiditionary fleet, at least for now. Though we’ve been getting some much, much stranger reports from other planets. Like some kind of-”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCvn_ieo1Vc

Warning sirens go off. “L-large ship detected exiting warp!” one of the fish-like aliens yells out in shock. “Large as... it’s off the scale!”

You sense something. Something familiar. You look up. It’s... the new ship. No... no it’s not a ship. Giru becomes frantic. “GIRU GIRU GIRU GIRU DANGER! DANGER! M2 DETECTED! GIRU, GIRU!”

“The... the WHOLE PLANET?!” Videl exclaims.

“Rildo.” you breathe out as you sense it. “So I didn’t stop him either. He’s even stronger than before. He... he IS the planet.”

“Ugh. So it’s a Scenario G. Fantastic.” the gorilla man grumbles. “Men, you’ve prepared for this ever since we detected that Big Gete Star thing. Ready all ships you can.”

“What do you need us to do?” you ask.

“Raditz, get your group ready to hold off the main threat, that planet.” he tells your uncle. “Show them some of that destructive power you’re known for, Saiyan.”

He rubs the back of his neck. “Right. Just need to blow up the whole damn thing.”

Kuriza finally arrives, with several of his own ships in orbit. Thankfully it looks like the Machine Mutants have slowed down too, though you’ve only got 4 minutes until they’re right on top of you all. 19 stands with you, Raditz, and Videl, Giru opting to try and help them analyze his nanomachine removal tool. Might not be enough. You notice, though, that Kuriza hasn’t left his ship. Maybe someone contacted him?

>A. All right, let’s teleport on to M2 and deal with all of this

You decide to check in with Kuriza. ‘Hey, we know these Machine Mutants are up to no good. Is everything going well over there? Do you need anything?’

‘We... ugh. We’re having issues. So. They’re demanding free passage through our territory. As well as... resources. If not, they’ll force their way through by any means necessary.’

‘And by any means necessary, they mean that whole planet they’ve got flying around on its own? Yeah?’ you question.

‘It seems to be some kind of main base, yes. I might be able to take out a good portion of their group outright, but they’re implying a lot in regards to what they CAN do. I don’t like this.’

“So, they’re trying to be ‘diplomatic’ but expect the PTO to just walk all over them. I don’t think they know what they’re dealing with.” you speak aloud. “...The whole planet has a noticeable Ki signature, right? Maybe... maybe I can do something to get it out of here.”

“Peppa that is a LOT to teleport.” Videl tells you worriedly.

“Even at full strength it you may not have the power to pull it off.” 19 warns.

“But if I don’t do anything, they’ll try and overwhelm this place. We could attempt to destroy it, sure, we might be able to break it, but Rildo IS the whole place. And you all know how tough he was to take down WITHOUT being planet-sized. But... if we can get him away from this fleet, maybe we’ll give Kuriza a chance.”

Your uncle looks at you like you’re mad. “Peppa where would you even take that place?”

>A. Away from here, that’s all that matters
>B. To Basilea. Let’s hit her with the whole planet!

You thrust your arm into the air. “To Basilea. Let’s hit her with the whole planet!”

Videl sighs and shakes her head. “You’re crazy, Peppa.”

“You got a better plan?”

“Didn’t say we shouldn’t do it.” She smirks.

“I shall contact Giru then. I do not calculate a very high chance at success for this, though.” 19‘s flat tone changes to one of slight annoyance... and genuine worry. “Kuriza will still need backup, though. I shall remain here.”

“Counting on you then, 19.”

Raditz shakes his head as well. “This is dangerous, Peppa. You don’t know if you have anywhere close to the power you’ll need to teleport an entire planet, Ki signature or not.”

“I’ll take that chance, especially if it means we keep this from getting any worse.” You begin to power up, transforming.

“Giru believes he has located the planet. It is a dead world called Stroge, a neighbor to the remains of planet Eros.” 19 tells you all. She gives you the directions you need and you... think you very, very faintly feel Basilea’s Ki.

“Thanks. Best of luck, 19. Okay, here goes!” You lift into the air slightly as you yell out, powering up completely. Videl and Raditz place their hands on your shoulders. You look up sternly. “Let’s go give them the reception they deserve.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJo_3B5-1uk

You all teleport to the planet, finding yourselves standing before... Rildo. But he’s different. His body’s changed completely, now taking on a completely silvery sheen, lacking the upgraded form he had previously. He laughs. “So you return to us, Son Peppa.”

You slam the Power Pole into the planet, your Ki bursting higher. Your aura takes on a reddish-orange, flame-like tint. “I should have figured you were too stubborn to die.”

He laughs. “Seems you’ve made that mistake more than once. You make for an excellent host.”

“Won’t make it again. Plus, we should probably take this somewhere a bit less crowded. POWER POLE EXTEND!” The staff digs further into the surface and slightly above you all. Your fingers on your forehead, Rildo raises an eyebrow questioningly. You do your best to try and just... “grab” the whole planet as you lock on to Basilea’s Ki. With a primal yell, you use all your strength to teleport it all far, far away. Even traveling with Instant Transmission seems to take longer than usual, as if you’re physically dragging the place along with you. Videl looks to you as you start to struggle and shares a bit of her Ki.

Finally, you all arrive, and you nearly fall to your knees as you do. You’re able to see Basilea above... or maybe “below” you all, quite some distance away. She was not at all expecting that. You try to leap up with the Power Pole in your hands, attempting to make a swinging motion with it, but you drop out of Super Saiyan 3 almost as soon as you try it.

“PEPPA!” Raditz tries to come to your aid, but he’s immediately knocked away by Rildo, the metallic man standing above you and laughing. Your uncle skirts away, attempting to power up, only to find his limbs grabbed by stretchy, gum-like purple limbs. He’s pulled away from you all.

Rildo grabs you by your arms and lifts you up. “That was quite a surprise, I didn’t expect someone of even your strength to be able to teleport ME all the way out here. Now, what exactly were you trying to do with that stick of yours?”

“THIS!” Videl, her aura white and focused around her arms, grabs the Power Pole herself and manages to tear it and a large portion of the surface it’d dug into out and smacks Rildo with it like a batter hitting a baseball. “Why you hitting yourself?”

He skips across the ground as you struggle to stand again, Videl trying to help you up and attempting to get a Senzu out. But as she does, a green arm snakes around you both. Videl knocks it away, but not before it manages to grab a silver case and OH NO!

“Videl, after her, I’ll be fine!” you tell your friend.

She hesitates, but agrees to it, handing you the bag of Senzu and flying off. You down one of the beans, and not a moment too soon as Rildo comes flying back. You power up into Super Saiyan 2 and guard yourself, blocking a punch with your arms but still ending up getting thrown through a nearby building.

You stop yourself in midair, only to see the building start to mend the damage done to it as Rildo passes through. You manage to look around for a moment. The world around you shakes slightly, the world below you cracking slightly. “You never cease to amaze me, you know. You are truly worthy of becoming Baby’s main host.”

“Not happening.” You take your stance in midair.

“And you limit my power slightly by forcing me to keep M2 from crashing into Storge. But do you really believe this is enough?”

“One way to find out.” You look “up” again down towards where Basilea was. Aaaaand she’s not there crap where’d she go. Videl and Raditz seem okay at the moment. But you’re outnumbered now, and Rildo here still has the whole planet under his control.

>A. Head down to the other planet, pronto!

Well, you can trust on your uncle and Videl. You just know it. But you need to give them every advantage you can. So with your aura flaring around you, you do all you can to keep Rildo’s attention on you and you alone. Dodging around him, firing off weak but annoying Ki blasts (mostly aimed at his face), and even using Instant Transmission to teleport away when he tries to use the very environment itself against you, gigantic tendrils sprouting out and attempting to grab hold.

You notice your Power Pole on the ground and get an idea. Blasting towards it and turning back to keep Rildo chasing after, you fire off a few Rasen Magnums at him, which he manages to avoid, then you grab the Power Pole with your tail. You bring it to your hand and yell out, “POWER POLE EXTEND!”

Rildo swerves his body away at the last moment, thinking you’ve missed him. Big mistake. With as much power as you can manage, you slam it into his side and then bolt down to the surface of the other planet at top speed, sparks trailing behind you, until you finally get close enough that you’re able to swing Rildo right into the surface.

The staff retracts in your hand as you look around at the place. In contrast to the eerily chromed landscape of M2, it’s much more barren, crumbling, and even the air feels... wrong. Above you, about... maybe 700 meters, is M2. It seems to be slowly shifting, trying to move away, but with Rildo here it’s starting to creep closer at a snail’s pace. Still, the atmospheres of both worlds feel like they’re starting to mix, and you see some strong winds forming on the horizons of both. And the sheer gravitational influence of both still cause the world you’re on to shake.

“Clever.” Rildo stands, dusting some of the red and black dirt off him. “But even if you defeat this avatar here, I still exist there.” He points up and smirks. “You might have a slight advantage, but your time is limited. And I still intend on securing you. Oh, but don’t worry, we need you alive. We can’t risk keeping Baby’s host expiring when we’re all so close.”

You try to use the Clothes Beam against Rildo, but he fires out a green beam of energy at it, covering the sack you tried to trap him in with a silvery sheen and DAMN IT you are REALLY starting to hate that color! But it gives you the time you need to transform into Super Saiyan 3, and you blast towards Rildo, tearing the ground up from beneath you as you do. Your fist slams into his stomach area and you fly towards the high winds from the mixing atmospheres. As if fighting on the edge of a tornado, you get a few solid hits in against him and are able to hold him down long enough that you can charge up a Rasen Kamehameha, firing it down at him and using the tremendous winds to help drill him into the ground, deep into it.

Your tail gripping the Power Pole, you form a Ki drill and dash down after him, taking the fight underground. Ending up in a dimly lit cavern, you see some little pink lights in the distance. They then jet out towards you, with you only having a brief window to dodge it. They dig through the rocks behind you like a hot knife through butter. Thaaat was too close. Now what’s he-AGH!

“Good, but not good enough!” Rildo calls out as his arm stretches forward and grabs your face, slamming you into the wall of the cavern and dragging you across it. You use the Ki drill to free yourself and then dig into the wall on your own, leaving some Ki mines behind as Rildo approaches. Only instead of trying to move after you, he opens his mouth and fires out that green beam once more, trying to force you out and setting off the Ki Mines! Damn it! Rrrgghh, so close!

Speeding up as you drill through the ground, you burst out right beneath him and manage to prevent him from firing it on you by getting the drill to hit part of his jar, ripping it and forcing him back, though with him still able to get a quick knee strike to your gut and a punch to your own jaw. His face reforms. “You may be able to wear this form down, but you’ll tire soon. I’ve paid close attention to your limits from our last battles. This avatar of my body can take much, much more than you can dish out.”

Panting but keeping yourself composed, you smirk. “Who said it’s you’re avatar I’m trying to damage?”

He seems surprised. “...Well. You really do have a Tuffle’s mind.”

A loud, thunderous noise can be heard in the distance, almost like a hand slapping the ground.

Ohhh that isn’t good.

Rildo flinches. “Rgh. Taking a bit... more effort than I thought.”

You look up through the hole in the cavern’s ceiling and see that the planet... seems to be changing shape. Like it’s... growing limbs or something. Rildo’s... face seems to appear on the planet again. The metallic avatar sinks back down, struggling to stand, sparking slightly, but grinning manically. “And you really think your little friends can be trusted to get the Dragon Balls back? You’re out of time. What’ll it be, Son Peppa? Finish me off and let the planets collide, or try and stop Basilea?”

Quickly you try to contact Raditz and Videl. They tell you they’ve almost got the Dragon Balls back, but they’re cutting it close.

You laugh. “How about I do both?” Teleporting to him, you grab his wrist and lock on to Basilea. She’s a good distance away, but not too far. You’ve got her. You try to pull Rildo with you as you teleport, but you’re surprised as his wrist separates from the rest of his arm.

Rildo grins. “Rocket Punch!”

You’ve already teleported away when it launches. You appear near Basilea, and Rildo’s fist rams into your face. You’re sent flying right at the red demon girl, managing to knock her off-balance and down to the ground. You grab Rildo’s fist and slam it into the ground. Gah! Oh that son of a-!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV2NnFp7lEY

“You.” Basilea’s voice hisses out venomously. You see Raditz and Videl off in the distance, trying to hold off Haru Haru and Shun Shun. You push yourself up and stand, staring down Basilea. Can only hold Super Saiyan 3 for a bit longer. Her arms cross. “So, you’ve finally shown yourself, Son Peppa. Arrived at just the place you should be.”

“Yep. Gonna take you down now.”

She laughs. “Two problems with that. First, what makes you think Baby will allow that?” She points to the side of her head. “He’s been waiting for just the right time, after all. Time enough to bare witness. Time enough... to try and steal my wish.”

...Wait what.

You blink.

“Uh. Aren’t the two of you on the same side?”

Her dark aura glows around her, contrasting your golden one. “Nominally. But the both of us knew in the end only one would get the wish.”

Exhaling deeply, you power down to Super Saiyan 2 to try and conserve some more of your stamina. It’ll help, but you’re not sure how much, so you keep your guard up, bringing the Power Pole to your hands. “All right. You got me curious. Just what IS your wish, Basilea?”

She approaches slowly, her guard up as well, but she smiles as you ask that question. “What indeed. Tell me, what do you think I could gain with a set of Dragon Balls with near no limitations?”

“A lot of things, really. Could become all immortal and everything, could wish to be even stronger than your auntie or grandpa or even that Mira guy, could bring back someone you care about that was long gone-” You notice that she flinches slightly, her left hand moving to the furs on her waist. That’s... curious. “...Nah. I know what you want. You wanna be able to beat me.”

“Cute.” Her tail sways behind her as she cracks her knuckles. “I don’t need a wish for that.”

“So what? What is it you want?”

She looks up in the direction of the sky. “Do you know what happened to this place? This galaxy? A Namekian arrived a long, long time ago. He made a couple sets of Dragon Balls on his adoptive homeworld, the world... once known as Eros. Those Dragon Balls were misused. A powerful negative force erupted from them. It destroyed Eros, and sent chaos throughout the entire galaxy. The Black Star Dragon Balls were an attempt to... let’s say, fix that, by the long gone Namekian. Perhaps one day restore this dead galaxy to life, remove the negative energy that lingers to this day.” Basilea lunges at you, trying for a palm strike that you dodge. Her other hand aims for your throat, only for you to knee her in the gut and then grab her prone arm and throw her over your shoulder.

“Thanks for the history lesson. Guess that fills in a few gaps I’d been wondering about, but you’ve said a lot without actually answering me.” Defensive stance again. Videl and Raditz are keeping things pretty even, but they’re on the ropes too.

Basilea flips herself up. There’s a devilish, cold glare in her eyes as they lock with yours, a twisted smirk on her face as she tells you, “I plan to do something similar.”

“I doubt you’re so altruistic as to make a wish to bring back a dead galaxy.”

She flies at you again, and you hold her back, her hands pushing against yours as she leans her face in. “Far from it. I’m going to share this galaxy’s pain with the whole universe, all this built up negative energy. Starting with every other set Dragon Balls in existence!”

“You’re WHAT?!”

Her horns are nearly touching your head. “Those damned little orange balls are all ticking time bombs waiting to happen, and I’m going to get all the timers going at once. Do you want to know why?!”

You push her back. “You’re NOT going to do this!”

“Oh, but I am. And you won’t stop me. I’ve planned for this for longer than you could possibly realize. Even if the me of this timeline will never see it, I’ll ensure no one else ever has to go through with what I did.” She laughs right in your face, manic and unhinged. “HAHAHAHAHA! YOU HEAR THAT, BABY?! BETTER TAKE CONTROL QUICK, OR YOU’RE NEVER GETTING ANY OF YOUR DAMN WISHES MADE!”

“Pep... pa...”

“NO!” You fling her to the ground. “I don’t care what you say. Baby’s not taking control. And that... that wish is insane! What is WRONG with you?!”

Basilea stands, still laughing. “Oh how I thought you were so beneath me because you never had to go through ANYTHING like I did. And yet time after time, you managed to have me make a fool of myself. Now I know it, all too clear. SO COME ON, BABY! WAKE YOUR SORRY ASS UP AND TAKE CONTROL!”

You feel... a very slight headache, your left eye twitching.

“Pep... pa... Peppa... Peppa!”

Even if you do go through with this plan and the balls go bust, know that every time you lash out here out of that moralistic sadism or mile-high superiority complex, every time it's been pointless. Everything you've done has been remedied right quick, and even blowing everyone up will be fruitless. We have Reincarnation and Heaven in case you forgot. Not a whole lot of pain to remember or hold onto with those.

So why don't you just chill and go do something else? Something fun, like, not everything has to be a grand statement of your life's worth.

https://youtu.be/fUC7e8bvPoQ

This... this is nuts! You CAN’T let her get away with this! “Videl, Raditz, we need those Dragon Balls! NOW!”

“TRYING!” the two of them yell out. Both of them look rather exhausted now. Videl especially is struggling against Haru Haru, the purple gum-like limbs of the alien girl getting plenty of cheap shots in as Videl tries to defend against her. Finally Haru Haru manages to grab Videl’s neck and yanks her into the air.

“Shun Shun, what do you say, snack time?”

“Thought you’d never ask! Hey, if you losers want the Dragon Balls so badly, TRY AND FIND ‘EM!”

...

They’re inside those twins! Turning your back to Basilea, you form Ki drills with both your arms. You teleport in front of Haru Haru first and slam your left drill into the arm she has holding Videl, the right one into her gut, spinning it like wild. You hear the sounds of some kind of crystal clacking together, then quickly slash right with your drill. That tears a chunk of her torso out, ripping it to goopy shreds, but more importantly frees four Dragon Balls! ...Which promptly roll across the ground and right towards Shun Shun.

Before you can try and grab them, you feel another headache, sharper this time. Damn it. “Peppa! Hahahaa! Finally... finally you start to realize how futile this all is!”

He’s not in your body. But he’s doing something to assault your mind. You try and focus on keeping him from continuing this sort of psychic attack, but it just keeps happening. “Get out... of my head... you’re not here... you’re too afraid to show your face!”

“What makes you so sure? Maybe I’m just enjoying the show.”

“If you... if you were here... you’d be hearing something pretty catchy right about now. Wouldn’t you? Go ahead. Try and read my mind.” Oh song don’t fail you now...

Videl sees them and leaps at them, gathering all four up at once now that she’s free of the other one’s grip. But just as she does that, Shun Shun spreads her arm wide and blankets Videl with it, covering her and drawing her into like she did to one of those mechanical lions! No! NO! Raditz tackles Shun Shun to the ground. “LET HER GO!”

“How about you JOIN HER?!” The green girl’s head tentacles fire out at Raditz, forcing him off her and back to you. The two of you look around, now outnumbered, though Haru Haru is keeping her distance as she repairs that hole in her gut. Basilea walks forward slowly.

“We have to get her out of there!” Raditz calls out, glaring at Shun Shun. “Damn it, we’re so close...!”

...

Idea.

You telepathically contact Raditz and share what you’re thinking with him. If Baby’s going to insist on this, you might as well play along. Okay. Remember what Cocoa taught you. You think through how Baby speaks, his mannerisms and his tone of voice. Not exactly one great at impressions. But you’ll need every chance you can get. “...So close, and yet so far, Saiyan.” you speak to Raditz in a more gravely, nasally tone. Close. Can get closer. “But now is finally time I take what is MINE.”

You swipe at him and Raditz backs away. Basilea seems surprised. “...Well well well. Did you actually do it? Got her while she shoved her arm into Haru Haru?”

“All it took was a simple scratch. Now what was that talk of stealing MY wish, Basilea?” you question, forcing your face to look more sinister. Ow. Feels unnatural. Haru Haru and Shun Shun seem perplexed. They look over themselves.

“What ARE you trying to accomplish here?” Baby asks. “You think they’ll be fooled by your little trick?”

‘Pretty convincing, isn’t it? So you’ve been in them the whole time, huh? And all the other places your little nanomachines ended up?’

“Tch. You ARE rather clever. But no matter. You’ve taken far, far too long. I’ve already found another couple suitable pair of hosts. And one of them is already under my control. You know him quite well, too. After all... you’re his favorite sister.”

A shiver of terror travels down your spine. He’s bluffing. He has to be. You try to keep up the act. “Well? Do you REALLY think I was just going to let you walk away with them? Hand them over, as per our agreement.” You glare at Shun Shun. “NOW! Or I’ll find that toy of yours and break it into a million pieces!”

“Do you believe this to be a joke, Peppa? Oh poor child, I can feel his power. His tremendous, world-shaking strength. Hah, I must admit I see you’re not alone in your family. Do you know what he’s about to try?”

You start to march towards Shun Shun. Ignore it. Baby’s just messing with you. You look over your limbs like they’re new, then place your hands on your hips. “Do you think I’m joking? HAND THEM OVER!” Maybe Baby isn’t communicating with them. Good, keep him focused on you.

‘Liar.’

“Oh I’m not going to let him. But I want you to be aware that... rgh... n-no come on...”

“You damn fool stop, you’re going to... Stop! DAMN IT I NEED TO ACT QUICKER!”

Your mind just... snaps. Power surges through your body. You feel yourself get stronger, substantially so, your sparking, blazing aura jetting out like wild. “GIVE... GIVE HER BACK...” you growl out at Shun Shun, your voice low and deeper than normal, primal and furious.

“W-wha?”

“GIVE HER BAAAAAAACK!” You lunge at her in a berserker rage, furiously pummeling her. “GIVE VIDEL BACK! GIVE THE DRAGON BALLS BACK!!! GIVE ME MY BROTHER BAAAAAAACK!!!”

The pain she seemed to be feeling from Baby subsides and is completely replaced with the ferocious, relentless beating you deliver upon her. Haru Haru manages to get up and tries to restrain you, only for you to grab her instead and use her as a bludgeon for a bit against Shun Shun. Even as she manages to get free, you fling a Ki blast at her to force her away and continue your assault on the green alien, almost about to form a Ki drill to force all the Dragon Balls out yourself when you manage to regain some control over your thoughts, instead simply forcing her far away so you don’t accidentally injure Videl too.

Basilea is able to sneak up on you and grab you by your tail, her nails sinking in painfully as she flings you aside. “GET OUT OF HERE, NOW, OR EVERYTHING WILL BE FOR NOTHING!”

Shun Shun tries to reform her shape, but you land with uncanny grace and manage to blast forward right at them, grabbing Basilea by the throat and dragging her along the ground as you pick up the reforming Shun Shun. Your strength fluctuates slightly as you feel a pain in your tail, but you power through it. You knock their heads together and then slam them into the ground. Swirling spheres of energy form in each palm, and you bring them together. As they lay prone, you begin to charge up a Rasen Kamehameha. “GIVE! THEM! BACK! NOOOOOW!”

‘Peppa!’ Videl’s voice manages to contact you.

Your fury’s calmed, if just slightly. You’ve still build up a world-shattering amount of power, and your Ki is all over the place. “V-Videl?”

‘I’ve got the Dragon Balls! Can’t exactly find a way out of here, especially with... whatever the hell you’ve been doing to her, but... I might if I summon their Dragon.’

Shun Shun seems to realize what Videl’s trying to do. Her arm struggles to form a hand as she tries to place her fingers on her forehead. Your anger returns, and you find your body shake as the rage tries to take hold again.

>A. Do it! Make your wish before she can teleport away!
>B. GIVE ME BACK VIDEL OR I WILL END YOU BOTH!

You try to keep yourself calm, but you just... you can’t. You are able to stop yourself from firing, though, grabbing the Power Pole and thrusting it down into the green gum girl’s body, hard enough that it shakes and breaks the ground beneath her. “VIDEL, GRAB ON AND GET OUT OF THERE, NOW!”

‘P-Peppa wait I-!’

“NNNOOOOWWW!” you roar out, your whole body twitching. Once she says she’s got it you yank the Power Pole out and have it retract. Videl seems to pop out of nowhere, grabbing the end of it, all Dragon Balls in her possession.

But not for long.

In desperation, Shun Shun fires off a weird pink beam up at Videl, trying to hit her with it. Videl’s able to move out of the way, but your shaking arms and the retracting Power Pole cause her to... lose grip on the Dragon Balls.

Which promptly get hit by the pink beam.

All seven get turned into seven jawbreaker-sized candies that look just like the Dragon Balls. You let go of the Power Pole and try to dash down to them, only for all seven to get snatched up by a fairly badly injured and still recovering Haru Haru. Who teleports away with them.

You scream out in fury, even knocking Videl aside, slamming into the ground and landing your fists on Shun Shun. “NO! NO DAMN IT WHY DID YOU... WHY’D YOU...?!”

“H-heh...” Basilea breathes out next to you, smirking, her battered body trembling as she tries to stand. She wipes a bit of blood from her mouth and holds the side of her ribs. “I... win...”

Your fist damn near rockets into her face, knocking her down. Tears run down your eyes. Your body feels like it’s got a fire set right beneath your skin and you just... you just can’t calm down. But she’s there. She’s there and you could almost hate her to death. Everything just keeps hurting and you just keep seeing red. You bring your arm back, ready to knock her down again, but you hesitate slightly. Long enough for Raditz to hold you by your wrist.

You turn back to him. He’s just as badly bruised and beaten as Basilea is. “You... you need to focus... Peppa... keep calm and... and listen to me.”

Doing everything in your power to not start bawling, you nod and gulp slightly. “Calming... calming down...”

“She may have gotten the Dragon Balls, but we’ve got a chance. We just need to find where she-”

“You’re... too late...” Basilea breathes out. “Haru... Haru... has summoned it...”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcjOcYHWl3w

Above you all, dark storm clouds form on the surface of M2, quite some distance away from where you’re all standing, almost near the horizon. A beam of light shoots out, several kilometers into the air, twisting and turning and coiling around until it takes the form of a massive, serpentine creature. Red scales adorning it, jagged spikes all over, you’re able to catch glimpse of its head section if you squint a little, though even that is probably the size of the whole Lookout. It’s... absurdly big, the thing could wear Shenron like a scarf, and the head seems to have a large set of spikes almost in the shape of a crown and two separate mouths.

“Wha-what kind of dragon IS that?” Videl asks in almost awe.

Basilea laughs weakly. “Its creator... called it Denuen... and now... at last... victory... is...”

She falls down, face-first on the ground, starting to lose consciousness. Shun Shun slowly slithers her gummy body towards Basilea, still trying to recover. You can sense that Haru Haru is probably even worse shape. She might not be able to make the wish just yet.

...But it’s also on M2.

>A. After her, just get the Dragon to leave, no wish to be made
>B. Videl... I’ll teleport you there, you can make a wish and we can be done with this
>C. ...Can’t make a wish if there’s no Dragon. Take hold of all this strength you’re feeling and unleash it down at M2, centered on Denuen!

Excuse me, do you get the intent behind this wish?

Err, dammit. Disposing of all the negative energy can wait I suppose, how about just wishing Baby away? Unless it's beyond his power I suppose...
>>

Like, the word "Another World," us and ours, to Earth.

You could do that. Dragon would lecture you on conjugating verbs and turning nouns into verbs though.

>>3794934
>>3794938
>>3794941
>>3794943
>>3794945
Could allow sending away the negative energy and Black Star Dragon Balls, or removing Baby's parasites.
>>
>>3794945
How about "Destroy the machine parasite known as Baby to free those he infects" Trying to make a single wish that doesn't also kill the people infected.
>>
Also just be aware, you will have to roll to make the wish first.
>>
>>3794953
But removing the parasites would still leave Baby himself, I assume?
>>
>>3794953
Man you can verb any noun into a word if you word hard enough.
>>
>>3794955
is the DC effected by either wish?
>>
>>3794958
A short wish will probably have a lower DC.
>>
>>3794956
Baby will still be around, at least the individual one of him.

>>3794958
>>3794959
Shorter wishes would be easier.

>>3794953
Could we Piccolo Piccolo Piccolo? We could use his help here.

"Remove the negative energy from all the Dragon Balls and shunt away the Black Star Dragon Balls!"
>>
>>3794961
if we can shorten the negative energy removal wish (the fuck is it going?) wording a bit then sure.
>>
>>3794900
>E. Stuff one of the jawbreakers in Haru Haru's mouth.
>>

Overall, we're trying to get fancy about this, when what's important is them not getting a wish. So either we go stall Haru Haru and leave things to Videl, or we try our hand at killing a Dragon strong enough to wipe out a galaxy.

No time to waste! You’re focused, you’re ready, and you’re going to take this chance while you can! There are two or three wishes you can think of, and as much as it pains you to know that the one responsible for Gohan doing what he did is still out there, there’s something more important you can wish for, and these are the only Dragon Balls that could do it. Your fingers on your forehead, you lock on to Haru Haru’s Ki and teleport to her. You end up on a silvery hill, surrounded by foliage, and in the distance you notice hordes of Machine Mutants all advancing. The Dragon floats above you, and if you weren’t so desperate to get this done you’d swear you would be awestruck by it. But you’re on a mission. Before Haru Haru can open her mouth, you call out to the Dragon as loudly as you can,

“DENUEN! Remove the built up negative energies from all other Dragon Balls and shunt it and the Black Star Dragon Balls away forever!”

A loud but soft hissing sound can be heard as the mouths speak in unison, voice booming and yet at the same time not at all like Shenron’s. Mystical and almost creepy. “YOUR WISH... SHALL BE GRANTED.”

https://youtu.be/cyvUj8_mxNg

The Dragon’s eyes flash. Below the Dragon Balls, a shimmering but eerie light overtakes the glow the spheres themselves give off. Rather than flying off into the air, they seem to circle around the glow. What looks, what FEELS like a tear in the fabric of spacetime opens up, a strange, chasm-like void filled with ominous crystals the size of buildings scattered throughout it. Denuen’s form slithering down into it, the Black Star Dragon Balls follow it, then fly off through the void.

Never to be seen again.

You feel as if the atmosphere gets a bit easier to breathe. Some of the stranger colors in the sky seem to vanish. The world is still on a collision course with Storge, though, even with Rildo having slowed the descent. Haru Haru looks up at you in despair for a moment, then just sinks into the ground. You hear muffled sobbing as she does. Several of the Machine Mutants look distraught. Rildo’s face takes shape in some of the mechanical hills and foliage behind you. He has but what question.

“What... what did you DO?!”

Placing your fingers on your forehead, you smile at him and reply, before vanishing, “I won.”

Black Star Dragon Balls would remain stone only if Piccolo were separated or dead when they were wished away, sadly. Still, they're in a place where few could ever even think to look for them.

And okay, we are back!

>>3795056
You arrive next to Raditz and Videl, quickly explaining what happened as they down some Senzu. Shun Shun seems to have been able to listen in, her goopy and exhausted form near Basilea. “Th-this... this isn’t... over...” she tells you, glaring... but her eyes don’t actually seem all that angry. Relieved, almost.

“No, I think it is.” Videl responds. “Basilea will never get her wish now.”

You look over to the unconscious demon girl. She’s still breathing, but you definitely did a number on her, even worse than at the Tournament. There’s nothing she can do now, the Dragon Balls are free. Your body’s trembling slightly. Ugh. You could probably do with a bit of a rest soon.

“We should get back to 19 and Kuriza, make sure they’re okay.” you tell everyone.

“The sooner we’re out of here, the better.” Videl places her hand on you, offering you a Senzu. Raditz does the same.

Okay, just gotta find Kuriza’s Ki and- ...hmm. Glancing at Basilea, you get an idea and quickly Clothes Beam a straight jacket onto her. “You better help your sibling first. I don’t think the Machine Mutants will be all that happy with her over what happened. She looked like pavement gum already, but damn did they look like they were gonna chew her for about seven years.” That’s enough to get Shun Shun to flinch, and you use that opportunity to pull Basilea away. You make sure to break off just a bit of the Senzu before you pop it in your mouth. “Yoink.”

Videl’s shocked. “Peppa what-?!”

You’re already teleporting away before she can finish her question. You appear near Kuriza, the boy panting, exhausted, 19 in front of him with a barrier up. She quickly notices you all return, and with a genuine smile on her face, she tells everyone, “I knew you all would succeed.”

“-the heck are you doing?!” Videl blurts out.

You set Basilea down, giving her the little bit of Senzu. Helps stabilize her. Now she’s just a little worn out. “She’s going to hear it herself. Besides, she has a lot to answer for, and I’m not letting her escape this time.”

https://youtu.be/FP6DH3NiXc0

“A NOBLE SENTIMENT.” That catches your attention. Your eyes lock on to the figure right in front of 19, a metallic, skeletal warrior with a large, bladed staff that comes crashing down against her barrier, almost breaking through. Arashio. You look above and see stormclouds overhead, and right as the warrior strikes a blast of lightning comes down and hits the barrier. 19 is able to dodge out of the way, not risking taking the hit head-on, but now the Machine Mutant leader has his sights set on all of you. No, not “all” of you. His focus is directly on you and you alone, looking past Kuriza. In the distance you catch sight of a tremendous battle going on, Machine Mutant against PTO... and the Machine Mutants are winning. “SON PEPPA. WHERE IS M2?”

>A. Tell him the whole thing, and ask him to leave

“It’s a long story. Got the time for it?”

“NO GAMES.” He points his staff at you. “EXPLAIN. NOW.”

You set Basilea down and tell him to halt his attack, and get to work explaining what all went down. Teleporting the entire planet off to Storge, facing off with General Rildo and eventually Basilea, Baby making his presence known to you and... you making sure they know what happened when you learned your brother died because of him. You then tell him that the Black Star Dragon Balls are no more. And M2 is still right where you left it.

While his expression seems as cold and emotionless as always, he is clearly not all that happy with what he’s hearing. He turns his back on you all. “KURIZA. WHILE WE MUST WITHDRAW, YOU HAVE SEEN WHAT WE ARE CAPABLE OF. IF YOU VALUE YOUR EMPIRE’S LONGEVITY, YOU WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH US.”

“Rgh...! You... if you think you can just WALTZ in here, demand resources from us and go about your business like you run the place you-!”

“YOU ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO BARGAIN.” He looks at you again. “SON PEPPA. YOUR ACTIONS WILL HAVE CONSEQUENCES. YOUR HOME NO LONGER WELCOMES YOU.”

Shiver goes down your spine. “Excuse me?”

“RETURN THERE AT YOUR OWN RISK.” He looks like he’s going to teleport away. “AND KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE THAN JUST BABY WAITING FOR YOU.”

“Hold on, what did Baby do to Earth?!” you exclaim. He refuses to answer. No... no that’s why... why Gohan...

“We’re not done with you damn it!” Raditz yells out. “Get back here and-!”

And he’s gone, teleported away. The Machine Mutants fighting the PTO soldiers all start to either move away or teleport as well. You fall to your knees. Did... did you make the wrong wish? Gohan... Gohan’s dead and his killer has control of the Earth. Your friends, your family, everyone’s under... no... C-Co... Cocoa... Your fists slam into the ground. Damn it. DAMN IT.

Videl’s hand rubs your shoulder gently. “He couldn’t get everyone. You know they’re too clever for him. Just... just hold out some hope, Peppa.”

Her hand is trembling. She’s afraid too. But she’s not giving in to despair. And neither are you. You rub your eyes and get back up, giving Videl a quick hug. “He won’t get away with this.” you tell her with determination.

19 checks over Kuriza. “It seems I was successful in keeping any nanomachine infections from getting to you, at the very least.”

Kuriza nods. He looks over his body. Recovered, thankfully. But he’s not happy with what went down, not in the slightest. “...I need to train.”

All of you look towards him, Raditz crossing his arms. “I thought you WERE training, in your off time.”

“It’s not enough. I need to get stronger. I’ve tried to do what I can with just a little bit of off time but... but it’s not enough. I need more strength.”

“You’ll need more than strength.” Raditz comments. “You’ll need someone who can teach you properly.”

He nods quietly. Basilea finally starts to come to. “W-wha... where...?” Still disoriented, she seems to be trying to sense around for her comrades. She gets worried when she can’t feel them. Even moreso when she senses you all. She bolts to her feet, arms struggling against the straight jacket you put her in, but she’s shaky as she stands. Clearly hasn’t recovered yet. “W-what... what are you doing? What... what happened?” She spots the Machine Mutants leaving, only growing more confused.

>B. Take her to mom and Pantea

>A. I won. That’s what happened. You lost.
>D. Speaking of finding a trainer... I have a penalty game in mind for you, Basilea: If my dad's up for it, ask him to take you on as a student. You have lots of power, but in all our past fights you've relied on ferocity and brute force, making you predictable. Learn the basics from my dad so when you try to rub my face in the dirt next tournament, you actually have a chance.

Supporting, but phrase it more that Peppa's still a bit angry, but also disappointed, yet she wants Basilea to do better as a person as much as a fighter. Maybe shorten it a bit.

“I won. That’s what happened.” You lean closer. “You lost, Basilea.”

“Tch, so what, you made a wish and doomed one of those planets? How heroic.” she spits back at you. “I’ll just find them again and-”

“No.” you interrupt her coldly. “You won’t. They’re gone. The Black Star Dragon Balls are no more.”

Basilea’s anger dips. She looks at you in disbelief. “W-what?”

“All of them. Gone. You’ve lost.” You walk to Kuriza as she gawks. “Hey. If you’re really looking for someone to help you train, my dad would be more than happy to take you on too.”

“...Son Goku?” Kuriza tilts his head. “Training me?”

“Him and mom are great fighters. Heck, the both of them would probably be willing. Give it some thought.” Your attention turns back to Basilea. “Now. What to do with you?”

“Tch. She’s caused enough trouble, hasn’t she?” Raditz asks. “Also, give us that sword back. And the scroll. And the...” He sighs. “...The magazine.”

She is genuinely confused for a moment by his last request. “...Magazine?”

“Don’t play dumb. The stuff you took from the Galactic Patrol’s vault.” he grumbles.

“Ah. She thought that was important.” Basilea snorts dismissively. “No idea what a bunch of photos of aliens holding hands or whatever is supposed to mean. Told Shun Shun to keep it, she thought it was funny.”

“...Thosearen’thands.” Raditz mumbles under his breath. “Whatever. Just. Ugh. We’ll have to keep you around as bait then.”

“Bait? BAIT?!” she hisses at your uncle. “I AM PRINCESS BASILEA. I AM NOT SOME WORM ON THE FISHING LINE OF YOU PEASANTS! I... I...” She stumbles again. Looks a bit light-headed.

You move towards her casually. She’s not a threat right now. You motion for Videl, Raditz, and 19 to all follow. You just... shake your head at her. “You know. I really don’t get that about you. This... better than everyone attitude you seem to have. Especially with all the times I’ve whooped your butt.” She’s about to start yelling, but you shush her. “You’re ferocious and strong, sure, but you often end up just... not showing more than that. Heck, even you could do with some training from my dad. Maybe you could beat me, with the right training. But as you are now? I won for a reason. And you know it.”

“I... I’M... YOU...! THAT...! RGH! HRGHLGF!” Her words devolve into angrish and yelling.

Your hand on her shoulder and just a slight smug grin on your face, you lock on to mom’s Ki. “Proving my point, Basilea. Now come along~”

And so you regroup with Maple, finally. She and Pantea probably aren’t taking this any better, and they should hear at least SOME good news...

Hah.

>>3796871
Had a great time! Thanks for running!

So, the Machine Mutants are off to find M2 but Baby is still on Earth, Basilea's lackeys are probably trying to find a way to rescue her, and Gohan's gonna meet with Shin soon. Did Maple and Pantea get that message from Gohan? What about 16, what's he up to?
>>
>>3796873
Glad to hear! And Basilea's strength will slowly return, but currently she isn't in any position to start fighting you all. Gohan's message will be in a while.

>>3796879
Glad you had fun!

>>3797395
Possibly, possibly.

Sorry about the delay, we're back!

>>3796871
You arrive near mom. She seems to be sitting on the edge of a bed in a rather large room. And... she her head’s lowered, hands on her temples. Basilea struggles against her restraints about to start yelling at you. As soon as mom senses you arrive, she nearly tackles you, pushing Basilea down. The demon girl breathes through her nose loudly as she lays on her side. Mom hugs you tight.

“P-Peppa, thank the gods you’re okay! I... if I lost... y-you... t-t...”

You hug her back. “...I’m sorry. B-but we did... we did stop her.”

The door slams open and Pantea stands in the doorway, with her nearly leaping at Videl and hugging her even tighter than Maple’s hugging you, letting out a quiet sob. All of you fill in what’s been going on. Mom and Pantea were asked to rest for a while when they started getting some headaches... and apparently mom ended up confronting Baby in her dreams. She’s only been awake for a short while now... and she was awake long enough to hear Gohan say goodbye.

Your fists clench tight when you get to the Black Star Dragon Balls. And what you wished for. “I’m... I’m sorry. My mind wanted to stop Baby too, but I just... what she said to me made me realize how badly this all could end up.” You motion to Basilea, who’s sitting off in a corner at the edge of the room, glaring at you all. “Gohan... I just... I don’t know. Maybe I should have wished him back, maybe I should have wished for Baby’s parasites to be removed, something... I...” Your eyes meet with your mother’s as you ask, almost pleadingly, “Did... did I make the right call?”

Maple smiles warmly and rubs a tear away from your cheek. “I believe you did.”

“Baby’s probably taken complete control of the Earth at this point. He’ll know where to hit, if he hasn’t hit those places already.” Basilea warns you. A smug grin reappears on her face. “I wonder, who else has he taken control of? Chuu Lee? Goku?” Her eyes glance to Maple. “Hercule?” She looks at Videl. “Yamcha, Bulma?” Basilea chuckles at Pantea. “Oooh, let’s not forget about YOUR little family too. I wonder how Daikon’s doing.” Raditz tenses up. “Hmm... and I’d have to wonder how the little doll would feel knowing her favorite boy is now just a bit more like her.”

19 closes her eyes. “Maple. I request that we find a way to keep her from speaking unless we need information from her.”

>A. Actually, how about you, Basilea? You’re stuck with us now. As bait, remember. Tell me, how does THAT feel?

“Basilea, make yourself useful and tell us who else might be helping Baby that YOU’RE aware of. We can keep you quiet if we need to.”

“Aww. The little hero thinks that’s a threat. Cute.” she scoffs. “Come on Peppa. You think that’s going to-”

“Giru. Play the song.” you order as you cover your ears.

“GIRU, GIRU! Playing the song!”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n-zduNJ0t8

Basilea is thoroughly confused. And annoyed, but only slightly. “...Are you as brain damaged as your father?”

“We can keep this up or you can be useful. Your choice.”

Videl rubs the side of her head, Pantea rolling her eyes. Basilea struggles against her restraints again. “Look, if you REALLY think that’s enough to get me to talk you-”

“Giru. Didn’t Izzy share that story about bees with you? You know, that one movie?” Oh now she’s going to get it. Videl and Pantea look at you with fear in their eyes. Mom and 19 have no idea what you’re about to do. Raditz seems amused.

“Giru, Giru! According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.”

She is as confused as she is worried now. “Wh-what are you..?”

Giru continues. “Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is-”

“Stop. Ssssstttooooooppp.” She grumbles at you. “Okay. You know how Baby got to Earth? Haru Haru and Shun Shun got a few of his nanomachines over there...” Her smirk returns. “All it took was him agreeing to help Towa and Gero a little. The good Doctor’s quite enamored by the little things, you know. Ah, but Baby does have... a little bit of extra help. Just had to point them in the direction of the most vulnerable little spot on your little planet.”

Mom’s eyes widen. “...That’s why Trip hasn’t responded to me.”

“Who?” Videl asks the demon girl.

She chuckles. “I think you faced a few of them before, Maple. They all go by the designation... Cell.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpkeAQG6kQw

While that doesn’t really bring back any memories to you, mom VERY clearly knows that name. “...They. As in, multiple ones?”

“Oh indeed. Gero put the finishing touches on them not too long ago.” Her eyes close as she starts to laugh to herself. “And I must admit, they’re even stronger than the ones in MY timeline. Partnering with the Machine Mutants has helped him substantially.”

“Is that why you’ve been helping out the Machine Mutants for so long? Helping Gero complete them?” Pantea questions.

“All six of them are on Earth. Even if Baby was damaged, they will ensure he completes his mission. I’m sure they’ve taken EVERYTHING from the Lookout by now.”

You just... shake your head. She’s still keeping this up. First, you ask, “Who were these ‘Cell’ people, mom?”

“Bio-Android beings, similar to Gero’s other Artificial Humans. One of them actually appeared from another future, one similar to Trunks and Bra’s. The ones Basilea is from faced off against us during Dr. Raichi’s attack on Earth.”

Huh. Does kinda ring a bell. 19 crosses her arms. “They were deigned to be made with the data and genetics of several of Earth’s strongest fighters. Gero originally planned to create just one being, an ultimate life form. But constant observation of Maple, Goku, Acer, and everyone else, he came to realize putting all his eggs on the proverbial basket would not turn out well. He instead focused on having them operate as a team.”

“And now they’ve... oh, probably stolen up all the little secrets you’ve all kept locked away in the Lookout. I may have lost. But none of you will-”

“Basilea. Stop.” you interrupt. “Can you tell me something? Why ARE you even going through with all of this? Are you bored? Stupid? Both?”

“EXCUSE ME?!”

You move close. “No, I’m being serious here. How many times have you gone through all of this, only to end up losing? Do you just... not understand what you’ve been doing? Like, at all? Basilea, I genuinely do NOT get you. Nothing has ended up going well for you in the slightest here. So explain to me, why are you doing this? For Towa? For your own goals? Or are you just too dumb to see how badly you’ve handled everything?”

“Shut. Up.” she growls at you.

“You keep acting like you’re in control here, but you’re not! Not even in the slightest!” A wave of your arms emphasize your statement. “WHY? Why go through this constant humiliation?”

“SHUT. UP.”

Eyes narrow on her. “...You don’t even know why, do you?”

She snaps. “I KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT I’M DOING. WHAT I’VE BEEN DOING. YOU? YOU COULDN’T EVEN TRY TO COMPREHEND WHAT I’VE BEEN THROUGH TO GET THIS FAR!”

“Try me.”

Her dark aura rises around her body and she finally breaks out of the restraints. She stands angrily, looking down at you. “Do you know what it’s like to be acknowledged as your family’s little shame, Peppa? That you’d never really be comparable to your own sorry excuse for a father?! To be shamed by your mother’s very existence?! No, you know JACK SHIT about it, you have this perfect little family life you got to enjoy for most of your time alive.” Her hand grips your shirt’s collar as she pulls you closer, everyone getting ready to attack if she tries anything. “Towa at least took some pity on me. Helped raise me into something deserving of the title Princess of the Demon Realm. I could never hope to be someone like her. I could never hope to be someone like my grandfather.” Her other hand grips the furs she wears. “And she knew that. She helped stamp out the weakness that lingered in me. She had me face off against some of her most hated foes. Helped instill what I should be, and what I shouldn’t be. A peasant like you would never understand the kind of demands someone with TRUE royal blood has to face.”

“Take your hand off her. Now.” Pantea demands.

“Oh and don’t think you’re not getting any of this either you shotacon in denial!” she screams in response. Pantea’s face reddens as she takes a step back. “What? You think nobody knows how much you want to bed that little redhead? All your friends are too polite to say it but they all know. And so does he. You’re just too much a coward to come out and say it!”

“Basilea that’s enough!” Videl jumps in.

“And oh look, her BFF comes to her aid! You know what I think you should hear some of this too. You’re NEVER going to find the right person. You’re too damn picky and all you’ll ever do is break some hearts along the way. Even your best friend’s.” Basilea tugs on your collar. “You’re a couple timelines away from any boy you’d even remotely be interested in.”

“Is this really necessary?” mom asks her.

“AND YOU!” Her other hand’s grip on her furs points out at Maple. “You’ll NEVER be satisfied until every little enemy you’ve made ends up a friend, will you? You know what REALLY killed you in my timeline, Maple?! It was your constant need to befriend every single damn thing you came across, STILL holding out hope that you could get ‘villains’ to change their ways. Even Raichi. Even now you’re still hoping I’ll turn over a new leaf, aren’t you?!”

“Peppa, stand back.” 19 brings her arms up.

“Oh good, and the perfect example of it. The little traitor girl, thinking she’s on some great journey of self-discovery, all thanks to Maple’s help. You barely even understand emotions, and yet even YOU can tell Chiaotzu, CHIAOTZU, has a thing for you, can’t you?!” Her free hand shakes dramatically. She looks to Raditz. He just yawns at her. “YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TOO, HEDGEHOG HAIR?!”

“The rant needs work. Four outta ten at this point.”

Her anger seems to intensify. “Your wife and son are probably Baby’s slaves at this point, and you did nothing to save them. Remember that when you have to kill them yourself you bastard.”

You sigh. “Basilea.”

Her arm yanks you closer. “What, you smug little carpet muncher?! I’ll admit I didn’t quite call you moving on from Videl SO quickly, but it changes nothing. Because I have seen you at your worst. You’re all calm and kind now but deep down you’re a jealous little brat who wants everything to go her way! Heartbreak’s on the horizon for you, and you’ll lash out at everyone for it. You’ll hurt people in ways that will be hard to heal, even your new little squeeze.”

You hold her free hand by the wrist, giving her a sympathetic look. “...Basilea. You keep mentioning your timeline. And you’re implying quite a lot. What did the ‘me’ of that timeline do to you?”

“Did to ME?” She yanks her arm away. “You wanna know what you did? You had a meltdown. You couldn’t have what you wanted most and you lashed out at those closest to you. You embarrassed them as much as you did yourself and stormed off, unable to face them anymore. Tried to go the solo route and broke down, dragged back kicking and screaming.” She smirks as she seems to vividly remember whatever incident she’s describing. “Oh you might have tried to make amends, but those scars don’t heal easily. And I say YOU because I see in your eyes that same damn look had back then. Back when you proved just how pathetic you really are.”

“That isn’t all of it, is it? I still did something to you. Something that set you down this path. Before whatever that incident you’re vaguely telling me was.” You look down at the furs she wears. You brush against it gently. Wow, they’re really soft, even in spite of everything “...Something involving this, isn’t it. Whose furs are these?”

Basilea slaps you in anger. You take the hit, moving your hand away and rubbing your cheek. Ow. “Do that again and I rip out your throat.”

>>3798691
Well, didn’t feel like Oozaru fur, at least. “We were friends, weren’t we. Before you met ‘me’ you met ‘her.’ And something happened that meant we couldn’t be friends anymore. That’s why you treated Videl the way you did back at our first Tournament, isn’t it? That’s why you kept saying facing me was disappointing, isn’t it? And when I won, that lie you got told that broke whatever brief friendship you had was shattered.” Your head shakes. “Towa told you that you were above people like me. That I was a peasant, a weakling. And then the peasant struck you down and showed you weren’t as worthy as you thought. You lashed out at her. You lashed out at me. Every time you saw us it was a reminder that you were never good enough. Every time you would just try to get back at people who were close to us. You wanted to hurt us for humiliating you. And because you saw she could mess up, get hurt, you wanted that to happen to me too.” Your eyes locked with hers, calmly, you ask, “Am I wrong?”

She lifts you off the ground angrily, tail slashing against the wall hard enough to leave a gash as her fist clenched on your collar tightens. And yet... her expression isn’t full of fury. It’s one of pain as much as it is anger, eyes welling up with tears. “It WILL happen. You know it will. You’re just living in denial right now. But you’re going to hurt whoever it is you’ve got the hots for. You’re a lesbian disaster waiting to happen. You’re going to suffer because of who you are.”

You wrap your arms around her and hug her. She freezes. “Maybe suffering is inevitable. I don’t know. Nobody’s future is written in stone. All of us just try to make do with what we can. We try to be happy. But... you never really had a chance to know that for sure, have you?”

She pushes you away, shaking. She moves back against the wall, sinking down to the floor. Basilea lowers her head, staring at the floor. Her anger seems to subside. Mom moves up next to you. “...You still choose to stay in this timeline. Why is that? Especially after what’s just happened. Are you... unable to?”

Basilea’s red eyes stare daggers at your mother. “Take a wild guess.”

“I’m sorry.” You offer her a hand.

She glares at you, then lowers her head again. “Just... stop... please.”

Well. Was worth a try. Baby steps. Just then, mom seems to hear something. “...Supreme Kai?”

Good session, good drama. Are we going to switch to Gohan or stick with Peppa?
>>
>>3798697
Ironically, Basilea taught Peppa the importance of teamwork and not being a butt. So good on her!
>>
>>3798697
Great session, great thread, and you know, I'm still glad we made the wish that we did. Nice that Peppa was able to get through Basilea's shell, if only just a little.

So, we ever getting those write-ups of what happened to everyone else on Earth?

Excellent run. It's great to find that there's a person under all that smug dickery, even if there's a lot of damage to unravel yet.

Thanks for running!

Glad to hear! Thank you all for playing!

>Are we going to switch to Gohan or stick with Peppa?
So, I was planning on starting off with Izumi this coming Friday, though if y'all would prefer sticking with either of the twins then it's fine. If so, I'll give a quick little write-up for what she and the evacuees are up to. Speaking of,

>So, we ever getting those write-ups of what happened to everyone else on Earth?
Yes, I plan to have them all set and done by Friday, for some extra context on what's happened.

>>3798725
One way to look at it.

Also my apologies for getting back to this so late, been a little busy and exhausted lately.

Good thread Kato. Looking forward to the next one. Izzy next sounds good.

I'm still trying to catch the fuck up, but has anyone considered trying to use the multiform while training for like, 3x times the GAINZ? Or make more use of the fountain of youth x Time chamber? like the heck guys step up.

>Train with multi-form for THREE TIMES THE GAINZ
Sounds like something a girly boy would do.
>>
>>3812617
Yes? Because protags are women?

It's a reference to Dragon Ball Human Quest where the protag had a girly name and used multi-form training to up his gainz.
