You crack a smile as Dominika walks out while 15 second segment from some russian hardbass song she likes blares from the speakers.
The announcer, after the whole thing was over and he managed to shake off his confusion, started presenting your friend while she was busy chugging that bottle of vodka in her hands.

"She uh... may not look much but if we learned anything it's that appearances can be deceiving!
Young Dominika here has no background as a martial artist or a fighter!
However her prowess and natural talent are apparent at first glance!
And now she gets her chance to prove what she's made of!"
Then, turning off his mic, he leans in a bit closer to her.
"You sure that's wise young lady? Aren't you gonna have a problem like that?"

"BLEH!"
Gasping after the second mouthful she makes her retort.
"I only have a problem when I run out. Now mind your own business!"

"E-Erm... okay.
AAAAAND IN THIS CORNER WE HAVE A TREAT.
SHE'S TRAINED SINCE CHILDHOOD AND BECAME THE FEATHERWEIGHT MUAY THAI CHAMPION JUST RECENTLY!
PLEASE WELCOME Er...."
The guy takes a moment to look down at his cards, starts sweating and decides to "fuck it".
"PIM!"

Quite unlike Sam, this little lass walks up without much fanfare and starts praying without uttering a word to the announcer or her opponent.
Judging by her physique she's been through extensive training. Her body is toned and trim, necessitated by her full contact boxing style.
Despite not knowing how she actually fights, you don't think Domi will have an easy time with this one and unless she can pin her, she won't be able to outright beat her.

The two contenders then walk up to each other at the announcers behest and bump their bandaged fists together as a sign of sportsmanship.
They then make their way back to their original positions and the Pim girl immediately begins bouncing around and giving a few kicks with her knee, as a warmup or intimidation.
With each move the girl puts her entire body behind her motions, maximizing the power of her strikes.
This... could get bloody.

Rolled 21, 18 = 39 (2d21)

Wow... did NOT expect this sort of fuckery to unfold.
ANYWAY! WE'RE BACK IN FULL SWING BOYS!
>writing

And QM rolling because I'm NOT willing to waste another minute
First roll is Dominika
Second is her opponent
>>
>>3851372
Wew holy shit
>>
>>3851372
Well she unlocks KI after all because her oponents no slouch and thats the only way for her... We will have a shit eating grin because she did it anyways.
>>
"CONTESTANTS!
BEGIN!"

Pim then does a few more test swings, demonstrating her flawless form as she chains a variety of strikes with her fists, elbows, knees and shins, clearly meaning to intimidate her opponent.
But Dominika does not budge and while pocketing her hands looks down.
"HahahahaHAA!"
She laughs for a moment and when she looks up her expression darkens.
"Keep the theatrics. Cuz' you're in MY world now!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ek6hxsP55b8

She grins and her opponent is genuinely unnerved as this... beastly woman begins exhaling and her breath, mixed with alcohol fumes becomes visible.
Tossing her Adidas tracksuit off, she reveals her sports bra and chiseled abdominals before erupting in a scream.
"LET'S DANCE!"

Making a dash for it like a frenzied animal, Domi lowers her posture until she's nearly leaning 90 degrees forward with her arms spread wide.
She attempts to tackle Pimm but the seasoned martial artist clearly realizes this and instead of trying to evade her, even worse, tackle her head on, she attempts to kick her in the face.
Your bloodcrazed friend sees this and does NOT care. Merely bracing for impact, she takes that kick to the head but ends up wrapping her arms around Pims leg.
"GOTCHA!"

Throwing herself to the ground Dominika clearly attempts to use the full weight of her body and the force which would end up bouncing off the arena floor to either break or grievously injure her opponent.
She's clearly not fucking around and uses the loopholes in the rules to their fullest.
But the thai girl is no slouch either and quickly jumps after Domi so the impact wouldn't cripple her.
The two roll around for a moment trying to choke each other out but it's futile.

They end up grappling and tossing each other around until they stand up again, at which point Domis opponent starts dominating.
The sheer gap of experience between the two of them starts showing as Pim, first with a kick to Dominikas side and then an elbow to the cheek, manages to gain some distance.
With enough room to swing around the muay thai champion is clearly in a better position.
A situation which Domi attempted to circumvent by that previous speed blitz.

Rubbing her cheek a bit Domi spits on the ground and raises her guard.
"Okay. Plan B...
Deep operations!"
>>
Guarding her head and chest your friend takes the plunge and goes in DEEP.
Unrelenting and the pain dulled by alcohol, she allows Pim to batter and beat her up... everywhere except where she's guarding.
With each kick her legs buckle, with each knee to the stomach she grunts, with each stinging blow to her arms shake but she does not relent.

In her counter-offense she starts throwing punches and headbutts whenever she receives a nasty blow and her opponent recoils.
They go back and forth for a little while but by the looks of it Domi is actually winning, but not by much.
She makes sure to guard her vitals but the accumulated damage shows as she starts shaking a bit.
But with every bit of damage she takes, she inflicts even more back.

Finally after about five minutes of this ridiculous back and forth the two of them finally let up as they become exhausted. Seeing this, the announcer takes his chance.
"L-Ladies and Gentlemen! I've never seen such raw... brutality!
Dominikas brute force tactics seem to be working! But at what cost!
If this keeps up we- we may need to call in the paramedics! Eh? What's that?
Our ratings are through the roof? WELL DON'T LET ME STOP YOU LADIES! WHOOOOO!"

The two share an awkward and VERY tense stare as they are panting at each other.
After about a few seconds Domi smiles and dashes forward once more, ready to continue her assault.
But as she does so she eats a powerful jab straight to her face. Finally, her opponent speaks up as this unfolds.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XJ5Rm77wp4

"I figured you out! This is over!"

"IT IS!"
Locking Pims arm down after she took the bait, Domi moves in and with nothing to guard her opponent, she punches her in the gut at full force.
As something evacuates the other girls mouth Dominika spits some blood on the ground.
"Now do me a favor and stay down!"

Clenching her fist Pim slams her elbow down into your friends back repeatedly.
Clearly she's not about to listen to Domis advice.
And as the two of them fall to the ground and start wrestling once more you hear the announcer speaking up.

"U-Unbelievable!
NEITHER OF THESE UNBREAKABLE LADIES ARE BACKING DOWN!
E-Eh?"
He looks up as something strikes his head.
"That's odd... The forecast said it'd be sunny all day.
*ahem*
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! DO NOT BE ALARMED! We're experiencing some difficulties with the weather!
Worry not for the arena was constructed with rain in mind!"

You look up at the sky and frown.
"That's not natural..."
Scouring the arena you find the giggling shitlord responsible for it.
"Sam..."

You think about slapping his shit for trying something like this but a part of you is more interested whether or not he can pull it off.
So you make a mental nope to psychically booty blast him once the match is over and leave it at that.
And indeed, the skies darken as a thick blanket of stormy clouds rolls in and they begin to grumble.
Within moments it starts raining quite hard, turning this into a wet shirt fight. Not that either contestant seems to mind really, they are way too focused on each other.
And it seems they've been smart and wrapped their chests up with some bandages for protection.

Regardless, Sams little party trick just managed to give the match a whole new feel, where the sound of their punches gets drowned out by the sound of water splattering all around, making it actually sound more intense than it really is.
As the two of them continue to beat the living crap out of one another the blood dripping from their torn skin gets washed out and creates big streams of red on the arena itself.
When they inevitably wrestle once more, their clothes soak in more of the reddish ink.

They stand up and break away once more as they get soaked to the bone.
"GIVE UP YOU STUBBORN BITCH!"
Domi shouts.
"Look! I give it to you! You can throw a punch!
But I got more stamina! I'm going to win no matter what!"

"N-No..."

"FUCK YOU!
I'm NOT loosing because your dumb ass gets killed from fatigue!
I'll have you know, I can swallow my tongue faster than you can give a happy ending!
So go ahead! If I as much as see you kicking the bucket I'll race you to the next world bitch!"

"I... I won't... give up...
No matter what! B-Because I have people at home!
Counting on me! I got to win! For them!"
Dominika freezes in place as her opponent finally speaks up.
"I know many people who could use the money... I won't fail them!
So you can fight me... threaten me... I'll stand in the end! Because I have to!"

Lowering her head the girl looks down at her feet, fists still clenched tightly.
"Tch."
>>
Domi then looks up, one eye swollen from the battering she just took, the other one twitching with nervousness. She starts muttering to herself.
"Look what you did. Now I'm gonna look like the bad guy if I kick your ass...
Well, can't be helped."
Looking at her opponent she finally responds.
"You think you're the only one who fights for someone else?
I also have someone who depends on me. My grandma she... she's not feeling good. And... I know she won't live much longer anyway but I want to be with my babushka for just a little longer.
So listen here! I WILL beat you and get the money for her treatment! One way or another!
But if you get yourself killed here... you not only screw me over... but those that are counting on you to win as well!"

Pim gasps from the realization and becomes shaken.
After trading blows with this stranger she can't decide whether this is a trick to make her lower her guard, or something genuine.
And the mild concussion she suffered makes her doubt even the part of herself which is telling her Domi is genuine.
So out of either confusion or desperation she remains stalwart, ready to see this through.

"You little idiot..."
Dominika looks at her hand and tightens her fist.
"Okay... how did they do it again?"
She closes her eyes and after a deep breath exhales slowly.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..."

Pulling her fist back Dominika begins focusing with a surprising amount of intensity.
You walk forward and grap the railings when you start sensing her energy rising.
Throwing a punch from several paces away Dominikas energy erupts from her body like an omni directional explosion, clearing the droplets of rain around her and making Pim fly backwards into the walls of the arena.
With her opponent fallen unconscious the referee quickly starts counting. But it's pointless.
Domi won already.

>>
You casually sneak your way down there without anyone noticing you and wait for Dominika to make her way to you.
Handing over a bag of ice to her, you grin at the poor lass.
"Fun parlor tricks right?"

"Uuuugh... fuck off.
My body feels like it's falling apart.
And this new... thing isn't helping."

"Trust me, it is. If it weren't for that you'd be on a stretcher now."

"Would be better than this shit."
She takes the bottle she sat down some time ago and chugs another hefty amount of it to ease the pain.

"That part about your grandma... was that true?"

"Not now-"

"Domi..."

"Okay, okay. Look... yes."

"Why didn't you tell me?
In fact, why didn't you ask my help? You know I'm richer than god!
Are you really that into the bad bitch spiel that you'd-"

"One more god damned word from you and I'm kicking you in the nuts!
*sigh*
No. It wasn't that. I... didn't want to bother you with it. Not when you can't help."
You try to respond to that but Dominika raises a finger to silence you.
"I can't lie to her where it's from. Grandmas know when their grandkids are lying sacks of shit.
And I can't exactly tell her it's a gift from a filthy rich person either."

"Why?"

"She's russian dude. What's more, she grew up in a place where owing a debt to someone very powerful usually meant you'd have to testify in some mock trial of a fool the party wanted to eliminate.
So she's obviously not a big fan of charity. I thought that if I... If I won I could help her."

"How bad is it?"

"Bad.
I don't know how well your... alien friends can treat bone cancer but my guess is not well."

"Jesus..."

"Yeah. Now you know."

"Since when?!"

"Not too long ago.
I heard about it a bit before the tournament.
It was kinda news to me as well."

"Well..."
You pat her shoulder.
"Now I know who I'm rooting for."

"Thanks.
Now if you mind-"
She takes a look at her clothes.
"I gotta get changed before my next match."

"Check in with the Saiyan medics.
They can toss you into a healing pod and clean your clothes for you.
I can testify, they are good."

"Will do."

As she limps away with her aching legs, you look out and see the sky clearing up.
The clouds miraculously part and the bad weather leaves just as fast as it came.
Obviously, since it's Sams turn to go.

>Tell Domi who she can thank for the rain
>Telepathically call him up

She says to the strongest human in the universe with magic powers and some pure magic being living rent free in his soul in addition to having three technological supergenius aliens for children in addition to being buddies with most gods.
In addition to knowing that magical wish granting orbs exist.

Man, she should've tried to at least follow along with the story.
>>
>>3851731
She wasn't around for the most of it. Even less than Sam.
And most of what she knows is only second hand information from said stoner
>>
>>3851734
Yeah I know.
It's not like we really share tales of our exploits all too much.
>>
>>3851716
>>Tell Domi who she can thank for the rain
Maybe later we could ask the kids or the saiyans if they know of a cure. It may be a longshot, but it could work
>>
A'ight
>writing
>>
"Hey Domi..."

"Huh?"

"Before you leave, you might wanna consider thanking Sam."
She looks dumbly at you.
"For the nice weather."

"That motherf-"
And she stormed off.

Having a momentary but nonetheless hearty chuckle, you ignore the announcer going on about his next big speech and turn your focus inward.
Reaching out with the power of your mind, you tap into Cabbas head.
"Hey. Eric here. Need some help.
Can healing pods cure diseases? Or restore abnormal cell growths?"

"I'm... I'm afraid not. Those are for battle injuries.
Anything more extensive and it needs an operation."

"And you don't know our anatomy yet...
How long would that take?"

"Studying you? A lot... Bureaucracy? Even longer."

"Thanks. That's all I needed."
Switching "stations" you tune in to the kids and start broadcasting for them instead.
"Hey... I got some homework for you."

"Ugh. Can it wait?"
Kamin grumbled.

"Yes. But not a lot.
After the tournament I might have to ask y'all to look into human physiology.
See if you can cook up a cure for cancer."

"What's that?"

"Malformed cells typically formed as a result of gene damage."

"Oh boy.
That's... easy to fix for us on a personal level.
Go in, manually fix things in slime form. Done. But making up an automated treatment?
That could take a while."

"Noted.
I won't ask you if I can avoid it but I'd rather keep my options open.
Anyway, don't mind me. Just have some fun!"

"Uh-huh.
Catch you later."

Returning your attention to the games, you looked down.
"Okay Sam. Let's see what you're made of..."

"CONTESTANTS! BEGIN!"

The second the match started Sam started moving at speeds that the human eye could not track, closing the distance between himself and his opponent and finishing it all in a single motion.
With one uppercut to the head, he sent the poor guy flying and knocked him out cold.
For several moments the judge didn't even realize something had happened, only when the crowd around him started gasping did he figure out that things already started.

"E-Erm..."
He rushed over to the guy on the ground and gave a ten count.
"W-Wow... And the WINNER is Samuel?"

*YAWN*
"Too easy."
>>
Aaaaaand I'm afraid that's all for today.
I'm sorry fellas it turned out so shitty. Business sadly beckoned and it took WAY longer than I anticipated.

I'll be returning in 2 days. With a proper thread

Who wins in a fight?
Domi or Pre-Super Videl?
>>
>>3852991
Pre-Super Videl. Her dad/teacher was the world martial arts champ. Even with the Z-Fighters out, and his main competitor incontinent, fighting into the top bracket of martial artists in a world with giant animal men, dinosaurs, robots, and other crazy shit like that is nothing to scoff at.
>>
>>3852991
Videl. Easily. Maybe not pre-Gohan training but post? Definitely.
People tend to laugh at Satan a lot but he legitimately won the WMAT one time. And he raised his girl to "take the throne" so to speak. Either that or Videl just decided that's what she wants to do.
Man... fuck Jobhan

>>3852720
Quite

Anyway, I just wanna say that tomorrow we'll continue. With... you guessed it! Your turn to fight!
>>
After Sams... less than subtle performance there was one more, less than interesting match left of the 2nd bracket.
Naturally, you have other things on your mind, like the upcoming 3rd bracket, in which you'll finally get some action!
Surprisingly enough there's only a short bathroom break this time around.
Good.

Looking at the big screens showing he contenders, your eyes are drawn to the contenders.
"I'll fight the buddhist after this one... then that mystery fighter and at the end...
Sigurd."
You mutter to yourself in contemplation.

And unless nothing crazy surprising happens in the meantime, you'll also get to tussle with Bruce fuck-mothering Lee in the quarter finals.
After that however, it's anyones guess. There are a total of six possible winners in the first and second brackets combined, now that Domi is among them.
And realistically speaking, any one of them could meet you at the end.
That should be fun! Especially if the twins get to... cut loose a bit.

But for now, you need to focus on your own matches.
Though you'll be paired up with some nobody, you can't afford to look bad.
Not when Jeanne and Pier already managed to give such a good show.

When my teacher started teaching she said there existed 4 ways to improve and reach ever higer for common man generaly Ki your surging life force, Psi the might of your mind, Magic the expresion of your soul (small demonstrations) the 4th is bit more comunity based science the gatering of generations of wisdom.

Right now I will teach you somthing that aplies to forst 3. Control and effecenty are important they let you use what you have to its full potental.

Thats for later. And speaking in general of the powers (if its about descriptions they are corect KI is life force and body, psy is mind and magic is soul) its a callback on one of the first threads when we picked on what we started on and we selected psycic power. She basicly sad to chose one of the 3 and then said tech is also viable but longer term path than others on persional lvl atleast.

As for last part that is an advice that control aplies to all of them.
>>
With your fight slowly approaching, you decide to at least prepare a little bit mentally for your match, as you kinda like the idea of following the Spirit Warriors in their effort to educate humanity.
But you're still more interested in the actual punchout that's about to unfold, so you leave it on the backburner for now.

And as if on queue the announcer returns to quiet down the rowdy crowd.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
We're already at the third bracket and it does NOT look like we're running out of surprises!
This mysterious fellow not only managed to impress our juries but our most esteemed guests as well! Coming to us from the famous Shaolin monastery, this esteemed monk is sure to bring EVEN MORE excitement to our tournament!
Please welcome: BAO!"

Upon closer inspection the guy looks like your traditional, middle aged buddhist monk, complete with their famous orange robes and shaved head.
And even now you can sense a certain strength emanating from his body, betraying his actual power.
Could it be? Did the people of Earth actually figure out Ki already?
If so... how long has it been known? Is it a closely kept secret by the Buddhists or are there several secret societies with ties to arcane mysticism who have superhumans at their disposal right now?
The possibilities are as numerous as they are deeply unsettling.

As he walks up the stage you see that he's in a perpetual prayer, with his hands clapped together and muttering to himself some sort of mantra, the words of which escape even your focused ears.
His aura also feels quite different from what you're used to, being a lot less like a raging fire of the soul and more like... TV static.
You're so focused on the guy that you completely fail to pay attention to his opponent and you might as well, because he's nothing.
Just another contender bound to flake out due to the incomprehensibly steep competition.
>>
Things go as usual, with the announcer asking them for a clean fight and then telling them they can start.
However Bao does not move an inch from where he's standing, instead he bows and invites his opponent to come at him.

What ensues might just be the most "traditionally badass" fight you've ever seen as the man doesn't even bother to look at his opponent, instead he not only averts his gaze but keeps his eyes closed while easily parrying each and every strike of his opponent with one hand, all the while keeping up his prayer with the other and jumping above or around any low attacks that are made against him.
As he keeps casually swatting away punch after punch, Bao finally swipes with his hand and grabs his opponent by the arm.

Without breaking a sweat he twirls the man with a single twisting motion.
The poor guy lands on his hip and begins hissing in pain.
"Ouch... that was a bad landing..."
You wonder out loud.

But the man does not relent, opting to stand up and take another swing at the monk.
This however was a bad idea, as Bao side steps the now clumsy man and places his palm on the guys chest.
At first, nothing happens but a moment later you feel Baos energy flow from his body into his hand, knocking his opponent on his ass and his lights out.
With a ten count following shortly after, Bao is named the winner.

"Not bad."
You rub your chin.
"Not bad at all. Wonder where they were keeping this guy..."
But as the priest is declared the winner you realize that it's your turn to move on stage.

Leaving to a safe area to get changed back into your Slayer get-up, you make your way to the hallway leading up to the ring.

Ignoring any and all attempts at people trying to talk, you wait patiently for the announcer to do his thing.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

We all know we've been waiting for this! So let's not mince words!

He's a fighter unlike any other, a hero, NAY! A LEGEND! If he didn't give any name during the sign-up, I wouldn't even be in trouble!

PLEASE! WELCOME: THEEEEE SLAYEEEEEEEEER!"
"It's showtime!

DJ! SPIN THAT SHIT!"
The guys responsible for the acoustics received a "short" list of songs you hand-picked yourself to be used before each of your matches.

You left it up to their discretion which one they pick, so this should be interesting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULWRuDzHmoA
Walking out with your arms spread out like "Yeah! What is it?", you drink in the erupting screams and adorations of people.

You see more than one quite heartwarming messages, like "We love you" and a few that are... best left unmentioned. Let's just say Caulifla and Kale are hopefully not paying any attention to them.

As the speakers keep blasting your song, you walk up to the arena itself where you await your opponent.
"Aaaand in this corner! The former professional boxer who came out of retirement one more time, just to participate in our most illustrious event..."

Oh. Oh nonono.

"The man who, in all his professional career, never once lost a boxing match IN HIS LIFE! AND A HOLDER OF MANY TITLES!"

Ohohohohooooooo~

"FLOOOOOYD MAYWEATHEEEEEEER!"

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA.
The man walks up to the stage wearing a big robe which he throws off of himself before stepping up.

He too receives some cheers from the crowd but they obviously pale in comparison to yours.

Sizing you up, he starts immediately throwing a few practice swings just to warm up.
>"Sorry, Spirit Warriors. This one's going to be an asswhooping."

>Just knock him out. No need to drag this out

>Try your hand at spreading the knowledge of energy around.

>Other?

Then a practical demonstration suits him just fine being a target of it and all delivered in mocking tone. *Shrugs* No need to hold back on lessons that help all even if he is an ass besides spreeing knowledge equals not us being too gentle or actually helping him. just info to spreed once in public and demo with them being used on him no real encouragement or waiting or guiding to actually let him learn.. .

I missed the vote but, I didnt know who he is. IC we could see Eric dosent like him but not why he dose not like him.

Besides any advantige he will have if he lerns anything (hopefully not) will be temporary at best as the lessons are there moustly to spred info to the masses so pure theory while we casualy beat on him is fine and acomplishes a goal if in bit less flashy way.
>>
As the guy keeps jabbing away, you just crack your neck once.

"Let's do this."
The second you're told that you can begin Floyd starts shuffling towards you, his hands raised in defense.

Straight away, he starts talking shit to you.

"Okay home boy. We both know you'll win, but if this was a real match with rules we both know what would happen!"
"Oh... do we?"

You know he's playing you. And frankly, you WANT him to.

Raising your hands in THE STANCE, you practically beg him to come and take a swing.
He begins laughing at you.

"You jokin' man! Come on!

Why you gotta pose like a clown?"
"Try me. Bitch."
"Oh that is. IT!"
He steps forward with his right foot and using his momentum he throws the first punch.

Nimbly you dodge him and with one knuckle pressed forward, like how Hit punches, you attack him.

Aiming at his neck, you stop right before crushing his trachea. Mayweather stops in horror as he realizes you almost struck him without him ever realizing, giving you an opportunity to further bamboozle him.

He follows your right hand as you pull it back, letting you blindside him with your other arm.

Despite what everyone seems to think, you don't actually use any ki during this.

Your natural speed is just already beyond that of a normal humans.
A few more dashes and headshots later, Floyd is sufficiently concussed and looks quite punch drunk.

"THAT. Was not supernatural!"

You start shouting.

"Only... Human strength-"

You punch him twice in the gut to make him lower his arms.

"Precisely focused and sharpened to a razors edge!"
Taking a few steps away from him you start doing a little breathing exercise.

"While energy is important... *phew* knowing how to use it is even more so.

One can achieve quite a lot, with quite little if they are efficient.

Anything... from the mind, to the body and even the soul... can be weaponized with enough conviction and practice!

But mastery... Mastery of any one of them can elevate them higher than you can imagine!"

You swing once, at regular speed, to demonstrate your point.
Then, after looking at the audience while nodding, do it again with actual effort put into it.
The people look in awe as the giant displays focusing on you with their slowed down footage fail to show anything, just your arm disappearing.

"But you didn't come for this... No.
You came for the fireworks, didn't you? So here's a little show."
Extending your hand you make a glowing sphere of energy about the size of a basketball in your hand, while at the same time holding up Floyd with the other hand by the chin as he's about to fall.
"Here... The most basic thing. Projecting energy outward.
Normally... not much. And since we don't have anything special about us... we can't afford to waste it."
Pulling it back in, you merge the ki with your own aura.
"So... to make the most of it, we focus."

Once more you create the same orb, but this time compress it to the size of an apple and smack Mayweather with it, sending him flying out of the ring.
The crowd cheers as the judge goes in to start counting.

Fuck you, goku, you fucking trash
>>
>>3855327
Well it sounds good but no plan really survives the contact with enemy/plot.
>>
Like a performer satisfied with his act, you bow before your audience and wait for the ten count.
"L-Ladies and Gentlemen... Floyd Mayweather has... HE HAS BEEN KNOCKED OUT!
AND WITHOUT A SWEAT I MIGHT ADD! Now I don't know about you but seeing former world champions beaten, battered and humiliated MAKES ME GLAD TO BE HERE ON THIS FINE DAY!
THE SLAYER WINS THE FIRST MATCH!"

And the crowd goes wild from the announcer trying his best to hype them up.
Chuckling to yourself you start leaving the stage as the paramedics rush in to pick your poor opponent up.
Luckily for them, they shouldn't have too much work with him. One of the perks of knowing ones strength is knowing exactly how much force they need.
No excessive damage there.

As you make your way back inside however you can't help but sigh.
This... was nowhere near as fun as you expected. Really, it feels more like a chore than anything else.
"Guess I set myself up for disappointment, huh?"

"Do not say that..."

"GAH!"
You jump as you hear an unfamiliar voice speak up.
Looking over your shoulder you spot... Bao of all people standing there.
"Whoa dude! How did you-"

"I got the impression you wished to talk to me..."

"Yeah but, how?"
You shake your head and grab a towel from the pile next to you to wipe your face a bit.
"Never mind that. Hey, I'm... er... this is awkward."

"It is.
But worry not.
Sometimes names meaningless. I know who, or more importantly what you are.
And you know me. So what does it matter if we don't exchange names?"

"Riiiight. Cool.
So I take it you aren't opposed to talking?"

"Actually I've been meaning to seek you out.
You made... quite an impression. Like the rays of the sun, one can't help but notice and bask in its glory."

"Huh...
Interesting. Well it's a good thing because I was interested in you as well.
So how about we take this somewhere private and-"

"AND NOW! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! PLEASE WELCOME OUR NEXT CONTESTANT-

"I must admit, as much as I'm interested in talking with you, I also want to see this next fight.
What do you say about joining me? We could watch and... discuss things while we're at it."

"Oh I'm afraid I can't.
I don't particularly enjoy watching fights...
Besides, it'd be quite hard for me as well."
He looks at you and his closed eyelids lift up, revealing milky white beads that are devoid of light.

"Oh... Oh I'm sorry-"

He chuckles a little.
"Don't be. You did not take my sight away.
It was... luck. But as you know, people like us seldom depend on eyes to navigate the world."

"Still... It's just a formality.
I didn't mean to offend you."

"You did not."

"Anyway, I've been meaning to catch you.
Ever since the start I've been curious about you.
So forgive me if I sound like I'm bombarding you with questions but I got a lot on my mind and need to get it out of my system.
First off, how are you here? I mean how did you learn these things?
Second, WHY are you here? I thought Buddhists didn't care for violence."

"I'll answer the second one first.
Normally we wouldn't be here, that is correct. However the Dalai Lama thought this to be more than a mere flaunting of ones power.
It is for the betterment of mankind and a peaceful future. And I agree with that sentiment.
So he sent me, to represent the best our people have to offer for the wider universe."

"That makes sense."

"And as to how I'm here. Well, like many great tales this is a long story and I do not wish to bore you with the details.
Suffice to say I've traveled from temple to temple, contemplating Buddhas teachings as well as the wisdom of our ancestors.
What you see before you is a culmination of over a thousand years work.
I often... wondered why I, of all people, have been found fit to receive these gifts where so many others failed to hold them.
But now I think I was meant to come here and show the world the truth."

"A truth you've been... hiding so far?"

"Not for as long as you may think.
Like I said, I am the first one who managed to fully unlock the secrets of our scriptures.
All others only managed to attain bits and pieces. So we only suppressed the truth for a couple decades.
For the greater good."

"Yeah. I get you.
I was hesitant about spreading this myself... Until I saw what's out there.
Believe me, we need this!"

"Oh I do not doubt that for a moment..."
>>
"OH! This reminds me-"
You smash your fist into your palm.
"If possible, I'd like you to visit some tulip fields the Netherlands!
I know this sounds weird but there is a person you really should meet!"
The old monks mouth curls into a smile as he reaches into his robe and pulls out first class ticket to the Netherlands.
"H-Holy shit!"

"There's no need to inform me.
We are already aware of the Dragons arrival.
Many of us are eager to meet him. Or at the very least, try to."
You look at the guy and start sweating nervously as your mind starts racing about the implications.
This amuses the monk greatly.
"I admit I was skeptical at first. But the signs are all here. Even the dead started walking the earth, disrupting the Wheel.
You... seem to have a great deal of influence regarding the matters of celestials..."

"D-Do you actually know about them?!"

"I'm afraid not.
Like most people, I only ever met the great Enma at the gates of the afterlife.
But I did hear hushed whispers about the architects of fate who spin the threads of the universe.
If you managed to get us a guardian deity then the only explanation is that you know such beings."

While it's technically true, the guy still has NO CLUE just how right he is. Which is good.
But as you're sighing with relief that the being in front of you is not an omniscient badass eclipsing even you, a voice reverberates through the tunnel leading to the arena.
"AND THE WINNER IS NEKO-CHAN WITH A SINGLE PUNCH!"

"DAMMIT!"

"Oh... I'm sorry.
I did not mean for you to miss that."

"Nah. It's okay.
I'll watch his next fight instead."

"I'd... advise against that.
Who or whatever that person is they... they give me a bad feeling.
Like an omen."

"Really? All I feel is mild curiosity."

"Then consider yourself lucky.
He or she... smells weird."
Huh.

"Interesting... did you just say smell?"

"Yes. I've never felt anything quite like it."
Bao frowns.
"It was quite unpleasant."

That's not much to go by and if you tried to figure it out, you'd probably just give yourself anxiety so you decide to drop the topic.
"I guess I'll handle that when I'm up against him."

"You speak like that's a certainty...
I kid, I kid. Even a blind fool like me recognizes your power.
Truth be told, as you stand before me I'm trying to figure out ways to stand up to you and find myself coming up short."

"I was about to say you don't think much of me!"

"On the contrary.
While we do not believe in labeling people good or evil, the being named Frost created much evil in the world.
It was his karma that brought you to him and you gave him his rightful punishment, sparing many people from further misery.
Though not many of us agree with your methods, or how you use The Gift we understand why you do it.
And I, personally thank you for your efforts."

You crack a little smile as you turn to face the crowd. As you look at the many faces outside you start rambling on for a bit.
"You know, sometimes I wonder what I'm doing is right.
I don't know if I should get involved more... or less. But when I hear people thanking me it makes me think I did good."

"And what about those that don't?
Those that keep saying how you were wrong."

"I... try not to think about them much.
While not many have come forward and accused me of anything, I know there are those that think ill of me.
But if I worry about all the potential consequences of my actions, I'd never do anything!
So as childish and immature as it sounds, I just try to do my best and hope for the best."

Bao then walks up to you and tries consoling you.
"Answers don't need to be complicated.
Sometimes the simple, childish solutions are the best. No need to over complicate them."

"Thanks..."

"By the way... may I have a request for you?"

"Sure..."

"When our match comes, could you not hold back?
Just once I'd like to feel real power."

You pause for a moment and give him a concerned look, despite knowing that he can't see it.
"If I do that... you die."

"We both died at one point and will die again.
It matters not to me if it happens here or ten years from now.
I'll even give my consent to the judges that if I die, you win."

>Okay

>Other?

What makes that line so godly is that Dolph almost actually killed Stalone on set.
Silvester was dicking around, asking him to punch him as hard as he could.
Initially Dolph refused but caved under the pressure, after which he threw a punch which hospitalized Stalone. He almost fucking died

You look down at the little man, letting a tiny morsel of energy escape, just enough to make him feel its pressure, its... girth.
"Last time I let someone kill me, took my own death lightly, I accidentally hurt the people closest to me in all the world, the ones that mean everything to me. You really sure you can afford to die just for your curiosity?"

His perfectly calm demeanor wavers a bit.
"I... look I didn't-"

"Listen... We all have duties to attend to, and you have one in teaching your fellow monks how to follow in your footsteps and then the rest of humanity.
But fine, I'll satisfy your curiosity. I'll use everything short of killing you.
If you still crave more afterwards... then seek out The Guardian when your time comes, he will contact me, and I will give you what you ask for."

Finally you take a step back and as fast as it came, your energy retreated back inside.
With the pressure gone the remaining composure of the monk disappears as he sighs with relief.
He reaches up to his chest and finds it pounding faster than ever before.
"I... didn't realize the gap was so vast..."

"The only difference between us is that I had a teacher, you didn't.
Seek the Guardian. Maybe he can make sure we have a good match.
Until then... stop seeking death."

And that's it for today.

Sometimes, mangos are the best form of media.

Anime can be a tricky medium to adapt comics to. I think I prefer stuff like Dungeon Meshi in a comic format, might have pacing problems as an anime.

Hey now, Studio Bones or Madhouse might get the bid for it if we're lucky.
Darkest timeline is that it gets a shitty CG anime like Berserk and Kengan Ashura.

Eh... Japan proved themselves to be capable of exceeding expectations. As long as they don't give the source material to a studio that doesn't give a shit.

I mean, they DID manage to bring Muratas iteration of One Punch Man which was... basically stop motion in comic form.
And if My Soi Academia gave us anything, other than waifus, is an example to other studios: Take your time to do quality work and the results will speak for themselves.
That show STILL looks incredibly well when it's trying

*sigh*
As shit as the anime industry can be, at this point they are the sole thing keeping my spirit up.
The arians of the orient may be dooming us with their weird taste rubbing off on us, but at the same time they are saving us.
So I'm glad that for all their flaws they keep supplying me with the copious amounts of Power I need to keep going.

It seems that your words reached Bao and oddly enough, brought him some peace.
"I... thank you.
I will."

"Come now! Cheer up a little!
I'm sure the Guardian will help you a great deal!
Who knows, maybe we'll even have a good match once you're more accustomed."

"Maybe. Maybe.
I just wanted to know... wanted to see how far I've actually come.
But it seems that our thousand year long journey only amounted to this much."

"You've come farther than most living humans.
And unlike the rest, you did not have any help. You got this far on your own.
I'm a bit jealous."

"I suppose you're right.
If nothing else I'll pass on my knowledge and pray that future generations will make use of it.
Now if you'll excuse me I need to meditate on this.
And for what it's worth, I hope I can at least put up a fight."

You nod at him and the monk walks away calmly.
And at the same time you return to observing the matches as they pass by one after another.
Despite the wealth of information you manage to discern from the way they fight, they offer precious little to you.
Nevertheless they were good filler if nothing else before the next main course.
Sigurd.

The man whose identity and personality still baffle you.
Could it be that he IS a long distant ancestor of yours? Big if true, but you have your doubts about it.
His cold, cuntish personality seems to point in that direction. However it's difficult to tell if it's a product of his time, genuine or if it's all just a big facade.
But there might be a way to find it out.

If you watch him fight perhaps... perhaps it'll become apparent.
Maybe it's hereditary, maybe the source of the Asulf family rage is the balls after all.
What if it IS hereditary? Would that even matter? He's long dead and so is any real connection you'd have to him.

Now he's the one up and you can't help but feel bad for his opponent.

Meddling in this one is... probably not a good idea.

No need to make it worse than it's already going to be.

So you simply watch as the two contenders make their way into the arena.

The human, clearly aware of the level of fuckery that happens with the Spirit Warrirors is already on the verge of surrendering.
As the match is officially started however Sigurd throws a wrench into things.

Drawing the hand-axe from his belt, he walks over to the edge of the arena and sets it down.

Trying to focus on the weapon, you fail to sense any disturbance coming from it. Looks like it's just a plain, old weapon. Nothing special what so ever.
"A'ight.

I'm going to be straight withcha.

I don't really care about this at all. An' I won't pretend I do either.

So here's how we'll do it. I'll give you a minute. Ya can do anythin' you want. I won't hit you back.

If you knock me out, that's that. You win. If you don't though... Imma whoop your ass boy."

A bit shaken by this the living fighter, who's a fair bit taller than the once mighty viking takes him up on the offer and walks up to him.

Sigurd just grins like a jackal and starts.

"Okay... One-"
As if needing any more encouragement his opponent began mercilessly throwing hooks left and right, each one aimed at Sigurds face.

Though his head is jerking around it's plain as day that it barely even affects him.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

CONTESTANT SIGURD IS JUST TAKING ALL OF IT! AND HE'S STILL STANDING!"
But it's more than that.

With an unbroken smile Sigurd continues to taunt his opponent with his toothy grin, unflinching, unwavering.

Ten seconds pass by, then twenty. Each segment seemingly lasting longer than the last and the beating is also ramping up in intensity.

By the end his opponent is not even pretending to focus and just starts hurling haymakers with his full body behind each blow.

However Sigurd doesn't even move an inch.
Unfortunately, as Sigurd reaches the end of his count something happens.

"Fifty ni-"
His opponent grabs him by the shoulders and knees him in the balls as hard as he can.

The sound of the impact reverberates throughout the stadium, making every man cringe as the once cock-sure Viking falls to his knees with a gasp.

>>
And this is why I hate doing this.
See how the phone fucks up spacing?
>>
Seizing his opportunity the regular human laughs nervously at his own genius and tries to go in for a second one, this time attempting to knee Sigurd in the face and "hopefully" knock him out. What he did not expect was the viking casually raising his hand, making his leg stop dead and standing up to glare at him while still clenching his knee.

"A'ight. That was a good one, I'll give you that!"
Sigurd starts tilting his head to one side, making it crack and as he twists it the other way it pops once more. His aura starts to increase in intensity to the point that its crimson waves become visible to the naked eye.
"But now... I'm going to hurt you."

His ki is... actually substantial. And not just for a normie.
It's thick, viscous and flows like a gelatinous liquid. It oozes out and rises above him, forming a large bubble of sorts and as it moves around it almost looks like it's... taking shape.
It also somehow feels... threatening. Like the ki ITSELF wants to kill the guy standing in front of him.

"This doesn't look good.
I really think he's finished this time..."
Walking down the stairs as the tension and Sigurds ki keeps mounting, you finally reach the row where the Saiyans are and start screaming encouragements.
"YOU CAN DO IT!"

The guy who's a nervous wreck by now as the manlet viking stares him down with the thousandfold fury of Thor spurned by the aching of his loins,
On the verge of fucking tears as Sigurd clenches his fist and you hear his finger bones crackling like bubble wrap, he looks at you.

"IT'S NOW OR NEVER!
CLENCH YOUR BUTT! DIG DEEP IN YOURSELF AND PUNCH WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!
SHOUT!"

The guy turns back around and seeing the vengeance about to be unleashed by his opponent he starts running for it.
A hand grabbing his shoulder stops him dead and turns him back around.
"Where do you think you're goin' Champ?
Tickling a mans balls like that-"
Sigurd pulls back his fist and punches the poor sucker so hard in the gut everything inside that man that's not part of his body, i.e. food or air evacuates him.
"-and then bailing straight afterwards. Don't even have the courtesy to treat me to a meal huh? Shame. You civilized folk have really become rude in these years."

The guy goes limp as a fish and you're not sure why, a broken spine or because he got the wind knocked out of him so hard.
Regardless which one is the case it's quite easy to see that he's not going to get back up AND now he lacks the ability to surrender as well.
Seeing him curled up in the fetal position the judge rushes in and starts counting once he's certain Sigurd won't just kill him outright.

"-NINE! TEN!
And HE'S OUT!"

"Pffft... Couldn't even give me a good time after all.
Talk about blue balling..."
Sigurd grumbles under his beard.
>>
After the match was over with and the poor fucker got taken to ER the announcer guy nervously called a quick little break while the staff gets to cleaning up the ring after this... particularly vulgar display.
Hopping down to meet him you catch Sigurd who's already picked back up his axe and is now affectionately rubbing it before sheathing the thing.
He stops in his tracks and starts staring.
"Oh. It's you."

"Could've gone easy on him."

"I did.
But when you go for the balls you better make sure the fecker stays down.
Otherwise you already sealed your fate. 'Sides, you saw 'im. Didn't even have the guts to fight back.
Not everyone has the talent."

"I suppose."

"So... anythin' ye want?
Not much for talkin' really but after this borefest I might as well or else I'll fall asleep."

"If I didn't know any better-"
You speak up hesitantly.
"I would've thought you were going for the kill there."

"Ye. Sorry not sorry.
I'm afraid I'm not one for that whole fancy shmancy "holding back" business."

"Do you even KNOW how to hold back?"

"Nay."

"Just... no."

"Aye.
If they wanna hold back and teach ya that's all fine by me. But I'm not much of a teacher really.
Nor am I this "martial arts man". I lived most my life on the battlefield where it was kill or be killed. Holding back only got ya killed there."
Sigurd sees your frown and starts patting your back.
"Awww cheer up lil' boy! I wasn't gona kill anyone! If I do... I get kicked out! Remember?
And if I came all the way here only to not get a proper fight, I'll personally kick myself in the balls several more times!"

"Okay. I believe you.
But if you cripple someone-"

"Ain't happenin'! Calm your loins."

"That's good... I just-"
You pause as you try to search for the right words.
"I never really felt such intense killing intent in ones ki. It was almost scary in how much worse it was than something like Frost."

"Heh. Crapped yer pants did ya?"

"Yes. And that's no small feat-"

"Oh I bet it isn't!"

"Grrrr...
Anyway, how did you do that?
Was that part of your training or-"

"I 'unno."

"What do you mean you don't know?!"

"Listen 'ere!
I have no clue what you're askin' about!
It is how it is. I can't explain it. It was like that from the start. Even that blue bug got all freaked out by it."

"I bet... I never saw ki that looked like... blood."

"He neither.
But personally I don't care about it.
So what if nobody in the afterlife is like that? It ain't gonna change a damn thing about me so why bother finding out?
I just know that it be like that and I gotta work with it."

"Wait... you're talking about it like it's a burden-"

"It's a pain in the arse is what it is.
Can't bring the fecker out unless I get proper mad.
It just... gets stuck somewhere inside. Like having an icicle lodged in yer arse. It ain't comin' out unless it's boilin' hot!"
>>
"And by boiling you mean-"

"Rage."

"Rage..."
You roll the word around in your mouth a bit. It really sounds like a Saiyan thing...
"So you're literally telling me your secret?"

"It ain't a secret. It is how it is.
Not much that can be done about it. Not by you, or me, or anyone.
And I sure as hell ain't gonna let you use it to your advantage boy.
Besides... as crappy as it is, rage is a powerful weapon. So I ain't complainin'."

"I know."

"Oh I'm sure you do..."

"What's that supposed to mean? I am the inheritor of the berserker rage!
I've snapped before... and I left quite a mark each time."

"I bet.
And I bet you cried and screamed like a bab hungering after its mothers teat.
But you know nothing of what being a berserker is about!"

>We'll see about that old man

"As far as historians are concerned, it was just you and yours getting piss drunk and eating wild mushrooms."

"Ah yes. We had historians back in the day as well.
They were the last ones to die because they were huddled up in the safety of their churches.
While the men who actually knew fighting meant already gave their lives for them. These are the maggots who'd call fighting and war brutal and barbaric while they never held a weapon in their lives."
Sigurd then spits on the ground.
"Drinking dulls the senses and the mushrooms are far worse. If you were dumb enough to take them before the battle you deserved to die. No... they were used as medicine to dull the pain of the injured and in rituals...
Besides, any Berserker worth their salt knew that the euphoria of the substances pales in comparison to the rush you get in battle! The smell of blood and death it's *inhales* intoxicating."

Hmmm. There is something to what he said, behind all that weird sexual tension.
And now that you're thinking about it you vaguely recall why the berserkers got their iconic name. In ancient norse it literally means Bear-coats, which they got from wearing bear fur into battle.
Them being associated with rage is a result of them being heavily romanticized, while any actual fact about their trance like state in battle is drowned out by people jerking themselves off at a raging madman swinging a big axe around.
Truth is... if they were really so mindless then they wouldn't have been so damn effective.

"Yeah you're right. I know that my rage is not as strong as some.
It's just that the topic my family kept going on and on about..."

"Hmph..."
Sigurd starts sizing you up, even giving you a bestial sniff.
"You don't smell like a liar. Maybe there is something to what the blue bug said...
Tell me, do ye want to learn how to use that rage of yours properly?"

"Yes, show me!"

"Then come.
Let's get some privacy."
>>
>>3862144
>Tell me, do ye want to learn how to use that rage of yours properly?
Aw, yeah! Time for the Doom Slayer to kick it up a notch!
>>
Taking you back into the ring where the stadium crew is already hard at work cleaning up Sigurds mess, the viking promptly chases the people off by loudly yelling at them in old nordic.
The poor guys, not wanting to deal with any of this shit, promptly flee the scene leaving it empty for you.

"A'ight. This should do. No pesky civilians to get in the way."
Taking his axe out and setting it safely down, he turns back to you.
"Okay boy. I guess t'is about time you showed me what you're really made of..."
He starts cracking his knuckles.
"Now first things first, we gotta get you proper mad. We can do it the easy way, or the hard way.
The choice is yours."

"Which is which?"

"The easy way is that you don't make this hard for me and just get butt mad on your own.
Or you'll be a stubborn little shite and I'll tear it out of you if I have to."

"Any old anger will do?"

"Course not!
I want you to be frothing at the mouth!
Real, genuine fucking FURY!"

You look down at your open palm and tightly squeez it.
There is... one way that you can do that. Though you'd rather not.

"Nah thanks. I think I can mad enough on my own. Just need to think about dumb internet stuff... or communists."

You close your eyes and begin concentrating and HOOOO Boy there is a lot to pick from.
Where to even begin? Planet Plant? You'd rather forget that... but at the same time you should check on it sometime soon.
Demons? Both the frost and regular kind? While it's true they gave you one of your biggest aneurisms, one which plunged the literal dimension of chaos into... well even more chaos. It's actually quite hard to feel any real animosity towards people you already, personally put into the fucking ground. There is that Towa bitch but she's recovering from that PTSD you gave her...
That fucking geek from Universe 7? While supremely annoying he's so... unowrthy of yours or anyones attention that if you got mad at him YOU'd be the pathetic one.
The time you made them worried? Or an event where something would happen to them? It just invokes self hatred really...
And of course there is-

"Cabba..."
You start grinding your teeth in frustration.
The guy railing your sister... well, not yet. But the day will come and you'll be ready with a fucking CHAINSAW.
And yet...

Cabba is a friend. As much as that fact pains you.
Both of you stuck your necks out for the other, risking your very lives.
He got your back when you needed him and he could count on you. To tell the truth, Elena is probably quite lucky because she won't get another guy who'd treat her like a fucking princess.
Naturally, you'd rather die than to tell this to his face but hey, you are her brother. You're contractually obligated to hate her.

"That just leaves-"
You speak up and break out in a cold sweat.
It doesn't even need to be dug up from where it was buried and it's still enough to have an effect on you when you remember it.
Guess bottling it up and never really venting your frustration about it really let it fester and rot deep inside.
"Yeah... that'll do!"
>>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lGuDTRilKQ
Slowly but surely you feel the pressure inside increasing. Just thinking about it is making your blood boil.
And as you slowly release your hold over your energy and your emotions Sigurd begins his lecture.

"A'ight boy. You seem to have struck gold.
Now let it out! I wanna feel it!"

For the first time in what feels like ages you're... actually slipping.
Your rage, your frustration is taking hold of you and with them, out comes your unbound energy.
The very foundation of the stadium begins to tremble and the arena floor begins to form small cracks under your feet.
And once things reach critical levels your ki fully breaks free and shoots up as a pillar of purple energy.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!"

"YES! THERE IT IS!
Show me what you're made of!"

As if you needed any more encouragement you pounce on the guy, ready to rip out his throat and do a kegstand as you drink his blood!
Raising your hand you prepare a good old fashioned swing to turn this guy into FUCKING PASTE!

But where you expected him to engage you in a bloody and brutal brawl, Sigurd instead closes his eyes and starts rhythmically breathing.
Normally you'd stop to see what he's doing but right now you're more interested in obliterating him.
He seems to be chanting something under his breath as he's muttering and swaying around.
Getting closer and closer you see him performing some sort of ritualistic dance which is putting him into a strange trance.
Finally you make contact with him and punch him with your unrestrained fury... Only to see him barely even budge when you struck him.

His eyes snap open and they are bloodshot red, whether from your punch or somehow his ritual you aren't sure.
But he reaches after the hand which struck him and after swinging it over his shoulder he throws you on the ground.
Without showing any emotion he looks down at you as you lie on the ground, your rage replaced with utter confusion.
"Slow and weak...
*sigh*
Guess I gotta explain it to you after all."

"What... is this?"

"Berserkergang.
Our frenzy, achieved with the ancient rituals of our ancestors. Back in my flesh days I was pretty good at it.
While in the rage I knew I had to hold the bridge and that's what I did. In death, I perfected it.
The raging fire of my soul turns into an icy chill I can focus and control... In in I feel no pain and strike with the power of a god.
But make no mistake. Inside... I am fucking mad. I'm not controlling it at all. It's completely free and wild."
Sigurd then scratches his head awkwardly.
"I guess you could say I... broke myself.
But if you manage to tap into the rage without loosing yourself to it... If your determination is stronger than the rage... Then you'll become unstoppable."

As he extends his hand, you seriously consider taking it. But sure enough he lifts you up and pats you down.
"Ugh... How... how much was that?"

"I told you.
I can't fight back unless you start hitting me.
And you hit me only once."
As he finishes dusting you off he takes a step back.
"Now how about we try that again and-"

"HEY! What is going on here?"

"Guess not..."
Sigurd looks at the tournament staff in disappointment.
"Okay kid. Mull on that for a bit. And we'll do it properly in out match!"
>>
Aaaand that's it for today.
Congratulations on getting the basics of berserker rage.
Next time, we'll have something to work with

It might be more likely to have spooked them a bit if our anger resembled malice - which isn’t impossible, given our visits to the Makai to Doom Slayer it up. That place fucks you up.

Hey hey people, Nega-Som here

"Here..."
Sigurd offers his hand to you and pulls you up on your feet.
"Oof... The fuck is that sword made out of? You sure it's smart to lug that thing around?"

"No, it isn't."

"A'ight.
If it's good for ye' then who am I to judge?"
The elderly viking walks you over to the edge of the ring where he picks up his axe and carefully cleans it of any filth it might've picked off.
"Who taught you that by the way?"

"Taught me what?"

"That suppressing your emotions is a good idea?"

You shrug.
"Me.
And someone smarter than you."

"Can't be that smart... Lemme guess. They told ye' to "master your emotions".
Correct?"
You nod awkwardly and he sighs.
"Fuckin' typical."

"The hell does that mean?"

"Bottling up your feelings and letting them fester 'til they are ready to explode is not "mastering them".
All ye'r doin' is running away from them. Like a coward.
Mastery means letting them rampage freely while stayin' in control."

You scowl at him.
"That's not how I fight, that's not how I was trained...
And it's much more effective than you give it credit!"

"Can't be that good.
I just kicked yer arse."

"Pffft. Whatever old man.
I'll show you once we have an actual match."

"Whatever ya say kid.
But in your next one with that slinty eyed guy, or that robed freak do give it a try. See if you can keep your composure while on a rampage.
Just... let it all out! And see if you can keep it in check.
It'll blow your fucking mind!"

You look down at your hands, the scars that still adorn them, remains of battles long past.
There was a time that you managed that. It wasn't a happy time. In fact the whole thing managed to make you recoil quite hard and not touch that with a ten foot pole for... quite some time now.
Because the Slayer is not something you should use against people. Monsters yes, but not people. NEVER people.

The desire to not talk about that becomes so overwhelming that you quickly attempt to shift the conversation around a bit as you look at Sigurd.
"Nice axe. Got any tricks with it?"

"No."

"Is it... special?"

"No."

"Does it even give you power?"

"No."

"Then why do you carry it around?"

"I 'unno. Why do you carry that fuckin' slab of iron around?
You don't use it. And it's clearly not important enough to take it off so you don't damage it."

>Okay. Fuck me for asking
>It's training.
>Other?
>>
>>3866575
>It's training.
>>
>>3866575
>It's training.
>>
>>3866579
>It's training.
>Its weight is masiveand mastering that kind of weigt till it looks to others like its just normal and then doing precison movement really builds your power and precision.
>>
>>3866575
>It's training.
>>
>>3866580
>Using this thing with anything resembling grace is a changeling. Builds strength and precision.
>>
Okay.
>writing
>>
Drawing the Z-sword from your back and turning it so you hold it by its side with both hands, you stretch it out to really show it to Sigurd.
"It's not meant to be used as a weapon. It's heavy, its balance is worse than a one legged drunks and you can't swing it properly.
This... is meant to be used for training."

"Training huh?
Training for what? How to swing a piece of junk around?"

Quickly grabbing it by the handle you swing it around for a bit to demonstrate your point.
"The fact that it weighs this much and how impractical it is means that once you can swing it like it was natural... your strength and precision increase tremendously."
Giving a few test swings, you show the viking that despite being able to hold it very well there are still signs that this hunk of metal still just drags your arm a fair bit with each swing.
"So far it hasn't worked out. But I can carry it no problem."

"Hmmmmm..."
Sigurd strokes his beard and then reaches for the sword.
"Lemme see..."
The second he grabs hold of the handle and you stop supporting it, the weapon starts dropping and pulls him with itself.
"FUCK ME!"

Immediately you stop him and wrestle control away from him.
"Like I said... training."

Visibly unnerved he shuffles a bit away from you and returns to tending to his axe a bit.
"Well tell me to shut the fuck up the next time I start doubtin' ya..."

"What about that axe now?"

He stops polishing the thing and sighs.
"It's Brynhild..."

"You named it?"

"You could say that."
He seems... morose as he says that.
"She was my wife."

"I'm sorry. I-I shouldn't have-"

"Nay. Ye did nothing wrong kid.
I knew from the very beginning she wouldn't join with me in the afterlife. Valhalla an' all that. So I made peace with it a long time ago.
What hurt more is... how alone I was. When you get to those gates... and get told that none of your former comrades made the cut... that one hurts far more.
I-"
Sigurd rubs his eyes.
"I thought I could at least pass the time with them."

"N-None of them were given a body?"

"As far as I know.
I don't know if there was another fucker like me holding a bridge on his own..."
>>
"And those? I can't read runes...
Is that her name engraved in there?"

"No.
This one-"
He points at the back of the axe-head.
"Is the All Father."
Then he drags his finger down at the writing on the shaft.
"And these two... are my sons.
It was meant to be a family heirloom.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Don't know if they took it from my corpse.
But unless it wasn't destroyed now there are two of them."

"At least you got a copy.
Now you can remember them."

Twirling the axe around Sigurd begins to contemplate on things.
"Maybe... But I was always gonna keep 'em in my heart.
Now... Now I only wonder what happened to them. They were so young, even if they made it and got their bodies back I doubt we could recognize each other."

"I'm... sorry. I know how it feels to... arrive at the pearly gates and find them missing."

"Yeah... I don't care about that.
One god or another, it makes no difference to me.
Especially since these ones seem to agree with us on some matters.
But..."

"You just don't want to be alone."

"Yeah."
Sigurd then stands up and extends you another hand.
"Well... better get to it. Wouldn't wanna delay things any longer.
Anyway, maybe once you die I'll get to have some company. We could bash each others heads in all day long and drink when we had enough! Sounds like a party don't it?"

>Yeah. Maybe.
>Been there, done that. Frankly, I had enough of death for quite a while
>Other?
>>
>>3866604
>Yeah. Maybe.
>just do not expect me there to soon.
>>
>>3866604
>Yeah. Maybe.
>>
>>3866604
>Maybe I could just visit from time to time. Death isn't something I wish for anytime soon. Especially due to my last visit
>>
>>3866604
>Yeah. Maybe.

>>3866616

>writing
>>
"Yeah. Maybe.
Just don't expect me to get there soon.
Not planning on dying until I'm a wrinkly old man."

"Hmmm... Dying of old age aye?
I can respect that."

Sigurd reaches down to his belt and draws his knife. With it, he starts carving some more runes into the handle of his axe.
"HEY! What are you doing?!"

"Writing your name on it.
To have a reminder I have something to look forward to."
He then put both tools back where they belong before turning back to face you.
"When the Blue Bug told me he has a mission for me, I was wonderin' the fuck he might won.
When he told me about you, I thought he was shitting me. I had no intentions of actually showing up.
But now... I gotta say I'm pretty excited. So how about you do as promised and show me a good time when we get to it?"

"Heh. Just don't start regretting that old man!
I'll kick your ass so hard your death will look like a walk in the park."

"Cocky lil' bitch ain'tcha?"

As the two of you leave the area you start talking about less... serious matters with Sigurd.
Like the issue of "has anyone seen that little moment of yours". Among other things.
But the answer to that surprised you quite a bit. Upon exiting and stepping out into the light, nobody was panicking, nobody was loosing their shit and seemingly nobody even noticed that anything was happening.
Just as you're about to question this however the answer unceremoniously revealed itself to you in a rather ungraceful manner.

"Yooohooooo!"

"Ugh..."
You slap your forehead.
"Vados..."

"You know this blue wench?"

"Hellooooo~ boys!"

"Vados, HOW much have you been drinking?"

"A few..."

"A few what?"

"Keg stands.
These gentlemen really know how to appreciate a good event~"
She then leans in and whilst putting her arm over your neck began whispering into your ears.
"But don't worry! I kept things nice and quiet for you! This is our secret now!"

"Heh... I don't know who she is but you seem to be keeping some fine company lad!
Tell me o' lady of booze! Where are these kegs to stand upon?"

"Just over that way!"

"Much apreciated!
OY! CUNTS! Who has any mead?
I'll drink any asshole under the table!"
Aaaaand he's off. Well at least he'll be in company he can enjoy.

Meanwhile you're stuck with the angel whose breath REEKS with the smell of ethanol, so strong that it has a fairly good chance of making even you drunk.
Looks like those kegs weren't the only thing she chugged...
"Aaaaaaanyway... quite boring so far. Wouldn't you agree?
I had to keep bringing Lord Champa snacks so we could stay.
And I don't waaaaant to spoil him just so I could watch you...."

Wait, did she-
You shake your head.

You take a moment to gather your thoughts as they flood your mind.
"Wait... you mean YOU wanted to come here? Not Champa?!"

"Oh no no no no.
*hic*
He wanted to come for the snacks.
But he's been getting too bored.
I am the one who wants to stay!"
She says so as she snuggles up to you and starts poking your cheeks.
"It's not fair you knooooow~
I have to be an old catlady and try my darnedest to stop him in his self destructive tendencies... I haven't even trained him in quite a whiiiiile. The only fun I've been having was with you.
Saaaay, you'd make an excellent destroyer! Why won't you accept it?
Just for me? Please? It'd be fun. I could train you for the next couple decades until Champa gets a bad case of diabetes and then we can do whatever we want!"

"Stop it Vados.
You're drunk... And we both know that despite saying that you both like serving and RESPECT Champa, at least to some extent!"

"Just paint a pretty little picture!"
She crouches down next to you and swipes her blue hands across the sky.
"Immortality, power! An entire universe that you can rebuild from the ground up! Soaring through the ranks until reaching the level that millennium old veteran gods did in hundreds, if not thousands of years!
It'd be so glorious!
*sigh*
Papa would be so proud of me... His little girl-"

"Wait... PAPA?!"
>>
>>3866738
At last, we learn of El Grande Padre
>>
"Why yes silly!
I have a brother and many, many other siblings!
Where do you think we come from? Ohohohoho!"

"Well... yeah that's a good point.
Anyway, I assume he's important."

"Oh, very.
He is the attendant of Grand Zeno.
His official title is the Grand Priest."

"Does... that mean you have a fully fledged family? Like... a mom?"

"No.
Which is strange.
Because Dad never mentioned her. But I assume I did at some point."

Come to think of it, this all sounds quite familiar.
Maybe you've heard of this before but it's getting harder to remember every single piece of detail about the celestial hierarchy so you've kinda given up on following it.
"Regardless of what might be the case, I don't think your dad thinks any less of you now than if you were among the top five Vados...
I mean just look around you! None of this would be happening without you! You've been instrumental in everything!
AND you are the one who managed to make Champa NOT fuck over everything!"

*sniff* *sniff*
"Oh it feels good that at long last someone appreciates my work!"
I-Is she actually sobbing? Or are those crocodile tears fueled by her personality and the booze?
Okay this is getting weird. Bring back the Grand Dad!

"Sooo... about your dad...
Does he work like you and train Grand Zeno or-"

"No, he just takes care of him.
*hic*
He's like a secretary. More so than we are.
You'd like him. And I'm sure he'd like you!"

"Yeeeeah... not really ready for that yet Vados.
Not sure I'm even ready to meet who, I'm guessing will become my father and mother-in-law!"

*siiiiiigh*
"You're not fun..."

"Yes but at least I'm not drunk..."

>Come. I gotta get you to a bed.
>Shouldn't you be getting back to Champa?
>I think you need to get to the others. They'll watch over you
>Other?
>>
>>3866759
>Come. I gotta get you to a bed.

Hmmmm
Okay then
>writing
>>
"Anyway I don't think you need any more happy juice.
So I'd better take you back to the others. They'll look after you.
And besides, I'm sure Garfield will be pampered by someone in your stead..."

"Nooooo I don't wanna go!
I got more beers to sample-"

"No you don't.
You've been a good girl. Now time to take a nappie."

"Noooooo~"

Sometimes you curse your existence as the only voice of reason in this god forsaken universe. But we all got our crosses to bear.
Holding her by the hand you drag Vados away to some isolated area so you can safely teleport her into the secluded area.
After popping in via your portal, you drop down the angel onto one of the couches where she promptly falls asleep before anyone could even interact with her.
Luckily, you packed a blankie originally meant for Lyn which you can cover her with.
If worse comes to worst, they can share and hug in their sleep.

The others look like they want to address you but at the same time don't have the balls to wake up the angel.
So instead you walk over to one of the free chairs and plop down because you DON'T wanna miss what's about to come.
With the first two matches being between normal people you don't really care too much about them and instead spend it making some nachos for everyone, including home made salsa and cheese dips.
But the third? Oh my... is it delicious!

Bruce Lee against the current light weight Mixed Martial Arts champion.
Technically it shouldn't be a real fight, given the obvious gap between the two.
However if anyone, then Bruce can make this one interesting. The only question is: Does he want to?
>>
>>3866806
>noted thespian and cha-cha dance champion
>big proponent of "Emotional Content"
>that entire event where he just showed off all the stupidly difficult shit he could do
Yeah he's gonna work the crowd on this one.
>>
>>3866818
Plus the time he auditioned for the green hornet, where he swung at a guy so FAST he didn't see it
>>
>>3866821
That audition is fucking great. He even cracks a few "sneaky Chinese" jokes. I'm glad he could handle some banter.
Anyways, BACK TO WRITING SLAVE!
>>
The two of them stroll up to one another as the announcer does his usual thing and you're already on the edge of your seats, biting your lip and clawing at the armrest in anticipation.
Caulifla obviously finds this behavior less than appealing.
"What's gotten into you?"

"Don't you know who that is?!"

"No?"

Of course she hasn't. The guy hasn't been very relevant nowadays.
But he is relevant for you! Forever and ever!
"He's one of the greatest martial artists that ever lived!
He invented an entire new martial arts style because he disliked all the existing ones!"

"Really?"
Hit looks at you in surprise.
"Interesting."

"Yeah. Though he wasn't very pleased with it.
It's called Jeet Kune Do, or the way of the intercepting fist. And was made to be "free form" and "unbound by traditions and philosophies".
Basically he didn't want a "style" or a "school" because he thought of them as too rigid.
He wanted it to be flexible because that's what you need in a fight.
But even if he doesn't like it, it's still a REALLY cool system!"

"So you mean... like you."
Hit responds.

"WHAT?!
No I'm not like him!"

"Eric..."
Caulifla places a hand on your shoulder and stops you.
"Yes you are."

"Uuuuuuh-"

"It's true.
Vados was teaching you the same way.
Wasn't she?"

"Shiiiit-"

The two bow down before each other, well Bruce does.
While Ronny just starts jumping around, throwing punches like someone ready to throw down.
Unfortunately he just doesn't realize he's the one about to be thrown...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxkezvGwI20

In a shocking fucking twist surprising everyone and making many people, weebs mostly, cream their pants as Bruce flexes his arms and with his trade marked yell MAKES HIS SHIRT TEAR APART from the flexing!
He then starts bouncing in a similar way, clearly mocking his opponent.
"Don't worry! I'll be gentle!"

Something then happens... a thing that only you and a select few individuals can actually see.
A wave of force expands from him in a circle and eventually washes over the audience. What most of them fail to realize however is that it came from a swipe right before Ronnys face, a fact that escaped even his attention. And it did NOT involve even a speck of ki...
Suddenly all saiyans, including the ones next to you start leaning forward and focus on the guy.
"Okay... this dude knows something!"

"AAAAAND CONTESTANTS! BEGIN!"

Suddenly the sound of the bell washes away the MMA fighters fear and fills him with supreme levels of confidence.
With a deep desire to win, he begins fighting Lee with everything he has at his disposal. Punches, kicks and he even attempts to grab his opponent a few times...
And Bruce counters each and every single one of them with the EXACT SAME attack as he perfectly mimics the motions of his foe instantly.
>>
>>3866827
God that "sneaky chinese" bit reminded me of something.
I saw a film about his master Yip Man or whatever he was called.
It was good... but it fucking REEKED of Chinese propaganda as they showed Bruce in the end.
He returned from america and acted like a pompous "capitalist" asshole the whole time even though the dude was probably one of the most humble guys out there
>>
>>3866856
>inb4 Ronny goes for the sidekick and gives Bruce an excuse to lecture him
>>
As they keep fist bumping again and again it becomes apparent that Lee is outright refusing to use any bit of energy as the hands of Ronny Markes are still intact and haven't turned to jelly.
And you'd be willing to bet money that he won't use any even if it means he'll loose.
However the possibility of that happening is essentially nil, which Markes realizes.
So being the sportsman he is... Bruce puts one hand behind his back and smiles.

The two continue to fight with his opponent trying to use this development to his advantage.
Ronny starts focusing extra hard on the offense but finds Lee not only imitating his style perfectly and beating him in it, but doing it with only one hand...
No legs, not both arms, just. One.

Bruce continues to match or block everything perfectly but never actually goes on the offensive.
Instead he continues to put on a show by turning his head and looking at the ground while still parrying everything his opponent throws at him.
Eventually however, after he made his point, he jumps back and with a flourish struck a pose.
"Not bad. Your fighting style is pretty good. But it's still too formulaic!
You need to be a bit more creative! Otherwise you can be read too easily."

He cordially invites the MMA fighter to try one more time.
This time however there is a malicious glint in Lees eyes.
This time, he won't hold back.

The Brazilian is visibly shaken by this as he realizes there is no way he can win against the real deal, yet he still goes on.
Something compels him to continue, to test the depths of this legends power.
He gets a running start and jumps in the air before preparing a deadly side kick.
Lee simply smirks and side steps the guy.
As the MMA champion lands Bruce is right there in front of him, his fist raised, extended and motionless.
IT is coming!

His hand doesn't move an inch yet Ronny is sent flying backwards, lands on the ground outside the ring and lays there motionless.
The one inch punch.

It doesn't seem to have inflicted any real damage as Ronny is completely fine.
But his spirit is completely shattered after experiencing that.
He doesn't even bother to get up as the judge counts him out.

You glance over to the side and see some... rather alarming expressions on the girls.
Normally you'd be quite unnerved by this but in this case you are also quite "moist" after seeing that.
Looks like Bruce was NOT slacking off in the afterlife.

"Oh my. Look at THAT!"
Caulifla exclaims.
"I wouldn't mind to learn a thing or two from him."

>Yeah, me neither
>Pffft that's nothing. You should see the six inch one
>Excuse me, I gotta go down there. NOW
>Other?

I want us to go talk to him but I fill that if we do we are gonna lose our cool so freaking easy

Wait I just realized, we feel for the age old folly of the Jedi.
We just bottled our shit up without really dealing with it.

>>3866950
As long as you don't do any genocides you're fine
>>
"Pffft... if you liked that you should see what the six inch punch is like.
He could send a dude flying with it back when he was alive."
You then pause for a moment and shudder.
"Oh god. I don't want to imagine what he can do with the nunchaku now!"

"What's a nunchaku?"

"A weapon that's basically two wooden rods tied together with a chain."

"Sounds... incredibly dumb and impractical."

"They are.
In general people regard them as unwieldy at best and prefer to use weapons that are more effective with less work required, like swords.
However this guy was a master of them. And being so unconventional weapons... they were quite deadly in his hands.
He was so precise with them he could light a cigarette in a dudes mouth on fire with them."

"Wait... just who IS this guy?
And why aren't your race more like him?!"

"He's one of the best we ever got.
Kinda like you, Kale and Cabba for the Saiyans.
Most of us could... never reach what he did. While I don't doubt we had or... even have greater fighters.
Truth of the matter is, most of them won't have his legacy."
You shed a single manly tear in Bruce's honor.
"He had the wisdom of a sage and the strength of a warrior.
But he never let it go to his head, he always remained humble and not only tried his best to entertain the masses but he also wanted to teach them.
And that is his secret. Whether through his timeless teachings or his insanely entertaining shows, people have and will remember his name fondly."

"M-Movies?"

"Oh yeah. He was an actor as well. Did a BUNCH of martial arts films and tv shows.
And they are REALLY good! You can see him kick ass in a wide variety of flicks!"

"S-Sis?
Are you crying?"

"N-NO I'M NOT!
I just don't like the idea that a guy like that is dead!"

"I know-"
You lean in and hug her, sharing your tearful moment with her.
"I know...
But the truth is that we... kinda got another guy who is still alive.
However people generally think him more of an actor or a clown rather than a martial artist.
I personally find that ridiculous. Because while he might be goofy the guy was still ripped and is VERY good at martial arts.
So I can't really say we don't have any more people like him. But Bruce is definitely a once in a lifetime prodigy."

Hit seemingly catching only that last sentence speaks up.
"So you're saying now it's your turn..."
>>
Aaaand that's where I'm gonna cut shit off.
Because there is not much that's gonna happen for now and the next big thing is...
Pier vs Oren.

And I want to have a fresh mind for that.
Because this is where shit gets real
See you guys soon

Yup thats fate and also yup he is now forever to be called gramps.
>>
>>3868339
The grand question is what kind of waifu will type moon adapt Sigurd into. Tomboy, Loli, Milf, Amazon, Flat, Thicc, Gayru. These are all independent of how Sigard will be written which opens even further dimensions on how the Japanese will lewd our viking ancestor.

Don't, 95 percent of Fate fans now are just normalfags addicted to a trash PNG collector.
Imagine if the majority of Dragonball's audience had only ever played Dokkan Battle or Heroes or whatever.and never saw the actual series or read the manga.

I do not get them either (my fate info is by cultural osmosis). By all acounts people pay way too much on these games like they could get half decent indie games or somthing else even if they only pay 10$ a month on said phone gacha or put in way too much time grinding to just to kind of but not really keep up with the whales. (Not that i'm one to talk as a OSRS player using bonds for membership granted my grind was one time thing that basicly stoped really matering once I actualy got in member worlds as regular play can sustain a bond easly.)

Yea I don't get them either.
I tried them once to see what all the hubub was about.
I quickly realized it was a vicious circle of gambling combined with jpeg's of waifus occasionally interrupted with "gameplay".
I got out before it could get me hooked.

Though I see why they came to be: Japan.
The land of suicidal thoughts, depressed teens and pachinko addiction

Anyway I'm dropping by to tell y'all I'll be running tomorrow.

Sometimes the gameplay is goo, but whether that and everything else outwieghs the Gacha system. For some pwople, you included apparently, it doesn't. Which is a perfectly fine, that's a valid opinion and a lot of people feel that way.

And yess, they exist because Japan. And Korea & China.

You continue having small talk with the others while the tournament staff are busy scraping up what was left of Bruces opponent.
But as the next round starts and the names of the participants show up you realize that things are finally about to get interesting.
What you may very well consider to be the first "proper" match is about to start.

And the two that get the honor of kicking things off are none other than Oren and Pier.
Two fighters who actually have what it takes to level this entire place should they decide to get serious.
Such a grand display is bound to finally spark the interest of the Saiyan royalty.
On the other hand... it could also endanger the audience as well.

We are bad at magic (for the moment) and Sam is bad with psionic stuff (because of the drugs), couldn't we teach each other the basics of our respective strong points? (I'm sure that a novice human mage/psion can teach another novice how the fuck did they learn powerful magic/psionics so quickly)

Why not? Not like its more effort than typing in the name once and then just leting the PC auto fill.

If you want to know why I have this name in pertacular? I made a joke with this name on Shield hero quest (the one with Irish spear hero MC) that i'm a sheep folowing the leader because I keept switching votes multple times in multiple separate votes then after that forgot to empty the name text box for cople of posts after I was done joking around. When I noticed just decided to keep it.

"A'ight, I'm gonna head out gang.
Gotta make sure the audience won't get creamed just by existing near them..."

You get a single "Kay" from Caulifla and the others simply nod as you portal out of the place.
First things first, you make a round and briefly interrupt the Saiyans in their usual rabble to notify them about what's to come.
They seem equal parts relieved that finally something interesting is about to happen and grumpy that now they'll actually have to do the work they were brought for.
As you slowly walk around in a circle the air around you begins to fill with strange, static energy that makes the hair on your arms stand up.
Once all of them join in their ambient energy has formed a thick dampening field that (in theory) should be perfectly good enough to stop anything that might pass.

However...
Given how you don't know Piers exact strength AND kinda being in the known about Orens level... a few more precautions couldn't hurt.
So you head for the one specific A-hole you know you could use: Sam.

When you find him the smug asshole is still leaning against the same wall he usually does and only barely pays attention to the events from the corner of his eyes.
Seeing this you immediately jump on the occasion and begin chastising him.
"Are you sure you can afford to not look? You could end up fighting any of them."

"Hey, I fully paid attention to Domis fight!"

"And made it rain."

"Come on! Everyone loves a wet-shirt fight!"
He chuckles to himself like a clown and turns to face you completely.
"Anyway, what's up? Saw what you did to Mayweather. Gotta say... nice!"

"Thanks. I was watching you as well.
You know, you could've done that with a bit more tact."

"Why bother? The end result is the same.
I just didn't feel like humiliating them unnecessarily."

"Yeaaaah, sure.
Anywho, seen what I did with the Saiyans?"

"You mean how the air is crackling now like lightning is about to strike?
Yea I've seen it. What about it?"

"I'm not entirely comfortable with it.
I think we could pitch in a bit. Know of a spell we could use?"

"Why?
If it gets through it'll be educational."

"People would get seriously hurt."

"That just means it'll be an important lesson!"

*sigh*
"Look... are you gonna help or not?"

"Sure."
Sam pushes himself away from the wall and gets to cracking his knuckles.
"But only if you pitch in!"

"Of course."
You crack a smile.
>>
>>3873158
>Why not?
Because you look like a faggot, purposely using a name on an anonymous image-board.
There's a reason the majority of anons only use the name field under very strict circumstances, like for QMing.

I don't need to know what other quests you follow.
Nobody does.

The worst part is you haven't even spelled your name correctly.
>>
>>3873158
The only person that matters as a distinct individual in a quest is the QM. It’s generally considered poor form to separate yourself from the guise of “anon”, which is seen as pointless attention-whoring that only detracts from the experience of a quest.
Hell, it’s even discouraged for other QM’s to namefag in someone else’s quest, so why would it be any different for a random nobody?

The two of you stride down the stairs and to the very edge of the seats, where the protective buffer zone and the concrete wall stand. Sam takes out a set of rings from his pockets and puts them all on. Overall you count eight rings of various sizes and designs on his fingers. Raising an eyebrow at that you start making fun of him. "Does that make you stronger?" "If I believe it, yeah." "So your idea of being "cool and strong" is putting on more bling until you look like a chode?" "Kinda. Now are ya' gonna keep talking or will you finally join?" "Hmph... If only to put you into your place." You extend both of your hands as well and Sam does the same. "Come on! Show me what you can do pipsqueak!" "Try to keep up old man!" REALLY not wanting to be outdone by fucking SAM of all people, you pour your heart and soul into this one. Buu even pops up in your subconscious and offers you with a grunt to help but you refuse. You got to flex on him on your own! Using everything you learned so far you imagine a perfectly smooth and impenetrable wall of energy, like a force field in a sci-fi setting. Responding to your will the otherworldly energies begin to manifest between your fingertips and spread out like a spiderweb, the holes slowly fill in with solid energy, effectively separating the two areas of space, though it does not reach up to the very tip-top of the stadium so some energy might leak out, but unless it bends down and around it shouldn't hurt anyone. Panting you pull your hand back and look at your wizard friend. "WELL? How's that?" "Not bad... not bad." "Okay. Just add to it so it's thick eno-" "But I can do better!" Sam thrusts his hand into your barrier, slipping through it without effort. He immediately begins pumping his own mystic power into the structure until it both expands in girth and height, perfectly sealing off the audience. Not only did he reinforce what you did, he IMPROVED on its structure. Rubbing his nose he smirks at you. "How bou' dat?" "Tch... show-off." "You know it!" Sam then takes off his "fetishes" which are really plastic rings of vaguely geeky or weeby origins he thought cool and tucks his hand in his pockets. "Anyway this is some serious defense... you sure we gonna need that? I mean... I'm pretty sure Big Pier won't just go ahead and kill your boy. So such excessive protection shouldn't be needed." >It's not him I'm worried about >We haven't seen what he CAN do yet. Better safe than sorry >Remain silent and just let this unfold >Other?

Frowning at Sam you cross your arms and start educating him a bit.

"Underestimating people like that is exactly what's going to result in you getting your ass kicked, Sam. We're not in the little leagues anymore."
"Pffffft.

Yeah right.

So far none o' y'all have shown ANYTHING that I'd be scared of!

We'll meet in the finals! You can BET on that!"
"We'll see.

Now shut up and watch.

The show is about to start.

Also... be prepared to strengthen the barrier..."
"Huh?"
Right on queue Oren and Pier both walk out onto the stage and the announcer begins doing his thing.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

The tournament rages on as we proceed into the next round!

And now we got a special treat for you! These two have only fought once so far, yet they managed to sneak their way into peoples hearts!"

Swinging his arm to the side he points at Oren.

"He, along his sister, are the youngest participants in the entire tournament! Yet their skill and bravery made them instant fan favorites!

Will he be able to overcome the odds once more and defeat another one of the "big mean adults" or will the boy wonders rise to the top end prematurely? Please... Give a BIG round of applause to OREN!"
Much to your surprise most of the audience erupts in a wild roar, with many sharp whistles mixed in.

Looks like his apparent "underdog" status has earned Oren many enthusiastic followers, mostly women.

The more mature ladies cheer on the "cute boy" while the younger, usually teenage girls are waving around various flags and banners with encouraging messages written on them with sharpies.

Your boy seems to be frozen as he stares right in front of him and barely, if ever looks to the side at his adoring fans.
"Heh.

Looks like he's embarrassed!

How cute."
"Dude...

You just called a little boy cute.

That's gay. And illegal."
"Not when he's MY boy."
"Still gay..."
>>
>>3873257
Sam is just jealous because he knows that Eric has incredible dadly powers that Sam can never have.
Sam would have to give up phenominal magic power to get laid, after all. Purity is the essence of a wizard, as long as he believes that’s the case.
>>
"AND NOW! A blast from the past!

The man that inspires and intimidates with his herculean size!

The once dead LEGEND here to entertain you today and fight this young man!

PIER GERLOFS DONIA!"
In contrast to your adoptive son, Big Pier gets a rousing cheer from mostly the males in the audience who find him to be rather impressive. Their unanimous roar reverberates through your body and starts shaking your guts.

An effect that does not seem to escape the Saiyans either who begin grinning from ear to ear as they start feeling pumped. Though they might have that reaction from sensing Piers latent energy.
The announcer then turns off his microphone but you can still make out what he's saying.

"Now gentlemen!

I know this is a fight but I'd like to remind the both of you that someone is not of age yet!

So please! Exercise great caution! Our ratings would go through the roof but it's not worth the price!"
Oren simply smirks at him.

"Thanks. But I don't think that's necessary.

I came for a good fight."
"GAHAHAHA! I already like this one!

Sure boyo! If you want it! Then you shall have it!"

Big Pier then starts scratching the back of his head nervously.

"However... I may have to ask a favor of you. Y'see... I got a feeling I won't be able to give you your fight unless I can use my sword. Whaddaya say?"
"I'm sorry-"

The announcer steps in.

"But the rules are rules. Usage of weaponry is STRICTLY forbidden."
"Ah well."

Pier shrugs.

"Sorry kiddo. Looks like I'm not allowed to hold back."
"Hold... what?!"

The announcer recoils in his shock.
"You better run little friend!

This is going to get messy!"
Not needing any further encouragement the announcer grabs his microphone tightly and runs behind the safety of the concrete walls before turning his device back on.

"C-Contestants! B-Begin!"

The air grows stiff and heavy, weighing upon the arena like a thick blanket. Even just glancing at the two of them it becomes very clear that there is some sort of tension between the two of them, a fact that becomes all the more apparent when random sparks begin to fly off between them.
As the wait becomes unbearable Pier takes the lead and swings at Oren, who raises his open palm and catches the big mans fist.

Their contact is punctuated by a thunderous clap, rivaling the sound of a gunshot.
Pier grins at the little Tuffle and releases the hold on his power. His blue aura practically erupts from his body, which is followed by a more deep, royal blue aura projected by Oren.
The two continue to push against one another as a test of strength before their hold slips for a moment and their hands swing past the other.

Though they already unleashed their energy they seem to be content just testing the water.
A left straight from Pier dodged by Oren, who retaliates with a jumping spin kick that gets interrupted by Piers knee. But each one of them makes such an impact that many people in the audience, especially those in the closest rows have to cover their ears a bit.
Meanwhile the Saiyans who've been quite placid up until now finally start awakening from their stupor and lean forward in their chairs.

Oren blocks a right hook and after tightly grasping the big frisians fist, turns around and attempts to throw him onto the ground.
However he clearly underestimates the big guys sheer strength and ability to use his body to his advantage. As such he instead gets flung over Gerlofs' shoulder to the other side where he is forced to twirl around to land on his feet.
Oren grinds against the concrete of the arenas floor before he finally stops.

Cranking his shoulder the big man laughs at Oren.
"Not bad! Not bad at all! You got SPUNK little fella!
Come on! Show me some MORE!"

Wiping his nose a bit Oren straightens his back and smiles.
"As you wish-"
>>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFJ22lTXMe0
Oren kicks himself off the ground with such force that most people in the audience loose track of him.

Only when he connects with a running jumpkick with Pier do they see him once more.

He's still not using any "real" amounts of ki but it's still enough for him to have superhuman movement.

Sam hisses a little as the reality of the situation dawns on him.

"Damn... I have a feeling I should add some time dilation to this if we want people to see ANYTHING!"
"Told you."
Though your boys speed ramped up quite a bit it's still not enough to land a proper blow on the dutchman, who easily blocks each of the attacks aimed at him.

However Oren is not about to let that dissuade him and each time he bounces off the statuesque man he immediately kicks himself off the ground to either attack once more or to reposition himself.

His kicks become not only faster with each consecutive attack but stronger as well, making Pier a bit more concerned as his arms start feeling a bit numb after being repeatedly struck with the equivalent of a hammer.

This goes on until finally the little Tuffle gets through and after ducking under one of Donias counters and lands a decisive uppercut, which sends Pier briefly into the air.
As if remembering that gravity is a thing his body falls like a rock and the concrete under his feet actually crack a little.

Gerlofs then wipes some blood off of his face and smirks.

"Damn... bit my lip there. Not baaaaad. Not bad at all."
"You may be strong but I'm clearly faster."
"Now hold up Jr."

Pier chuckles.

"Better not get carried away while we're still warming up."

Forgetting himself for a moment the big guy starts reaching up for his sword as he's overtaken by an obvious desire to ramp things up.
It is in that instant that the announcer crawls out from whatever rock he was hiding under.

"HOLD IT!

CONTESTANT! IF YOU SO MUCH AS DRAW THAT WEAPON YOU'RE DISQUALIFIED!"
"Whoops... Silly me.

Weeeell it's not like I need it anyway.

Not yet."
This annoys the shit out of you.

That was not a conscious move. He wanted to draw his weapon because that's natural for him.

Even if they get serious Pier would be at a disadvantage.

"Hey Sam... hold this barrier for a sec'-"

"OY!
I did not agree to this!"

"Don't care."

With a quick little fight you circle around and land near the VIP pavilion and raise your hands as the guards get a BIT on edge.
King Sadala however quickly dismisses them and welcomes you.
"Ah greetings my friend.
What brings you here?"

"Not much. Just checking if you're enjoying yourselves."

Despite his obvious boredom the king waves his hand dismissively.
"It's alright. I'm enjoying how your venerable warriors are trying to pass on their knowledge to the new generations."

"I'm more interested in the fact that you managed to bring over four spirits into the real world...
And this barrier? Humans are proving to be more and more interesting each day."
Queen Pinto coos a little and you're not sure if it's good or bad that you managed to get her attention.

Unfortunately the princesses are... less than tactful about the situation, making Cabba nervously tug at his own collar.
"This is boring...
When will this end?!"

"When the winner is decreed dear sister-"

"I KNOW SADALA!
That was NOT a real question!"
Looks like the crown prince is as much of a subject of his sisters vices as everyone else.
But this is good.

"Yeeeah... I agree this is quite boring.
Especially now that things were heating up and the referee called it off.
I guess we wont see his true skill after all a shame. I bet the fight would have been so much better with an exception for him."

That seems to have caught their attention but once again King Sadalas actually responsible personality shines through.
"Agh... but we can't. Not when it could endanger the life of a child or the audience."

"My lord, as his personal guardian I'll take full responsibility for Oren and I place my full trust in your medicine...
Plus, we got enough people in reserves to step in should things get "too" out of hand."

"Hmmmmmmm....
Then so be it!"
>>
Standing up from his very fancy and very expensive chair King Sadala makes an announcement.
*ahem*
"I, King Sadala III hereby decree that should his opponent agree to it!
Contestant Donia may use his sword in combat! That's all."

"W-Weeeeeell you heard it folks!"
The announcer speaks up.
"CONTESTANT OREN! HOW DO YOU RESPOND?"

"It's okay.
Let him fight how he wants."

"Well fuck me running!
Guess now I have no excuse to not use it!
Thanks kiddo! I promise, I'll be gentle!"

Oren gives Pier a toothy grin.
"Just don't get upset when I break your toy."

"You're a cocky little runt! I like it!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU5EMlT3Uzw

Reaching up for his sword Pier firmly grasps but doesn't actually draw it.
Focusing his energy Pier begins humming as the ground begins to quiver and quake around him, pebbles fly up into the air, carried by his surging energy.
Finally as the blade is wreathed in energy he draws it quickly and slams it on the ground, causing the arena to split neatly in two right down the middle.
As a clearly visible divide now runs through the entire length of the arena everyone not from outer space or your personal circle looses their shit.

The women start wailing in despair, fearing for the life of Oren while the men are simply at a loss for words.
It seems that the audience is just about ready to riot, demanding the King to reverse his decision but nobody actually pays any attention to them.
Least of all Oren, who's just smiling at this.

"Finally.
Time to take off the training wheels."

"Ye'r damn right kid!
But I'll be gentle, so you don't need to worry!"

"Oh they were not on for me..."

>>
Eager for a proper fight after all this time, Oren starts stretching his arms a bit before taking a deep breath.
"Haaaaaaaaaa~"
He exhales and his ki begins to rise up.

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

In a shocking turn of events he's not going all out, not even halfway. But to all the normies he might as well be ascending to a higher plane of existence.
His aura grows until the indigo flames are clearly visible around him.
Is he actually planning on STILL following your instructions?
Does he want to win through skill and not raw strength?!

Seeing this Pier starts laughing uncontrollably.
"YES BOY! THIS IS IT! THIS IS WHAT I WANTED!
FINALLY A WORTHY CHALLENGE! COME! LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!
HAHAHAAAAAAA!"

Swinging his greatsword with one hand that giant of a man shows an uncanny amount of finesse with his oversized weapon.
The speed at which he swings is enough to catch even Oren off guard, who gets a little cut across his cheeks for being careless.
Naturally this'd be bad, so Oren quickly camouflages his "fluids" red and makes it appear to be blood to not break his disguise as another wild swing comes from Pier who kept up the momentum of his last one and brought the blade back around with a twirl.
This time your boy doesn't let it catch him off guard and generates a small ball of ki that he uses to block the sword.

Pier keeps laughing as the two energies collide and... his blade starts cutting through Orens blast.
It's such a simple idea: Focusing your ki into an edge. But in practice it's not only incredibly hard to pull off but even more difficult to maintain.
But since the big lad is using an actual weapon as a "mold" all he has to do is make his ki fit the blades form perfectly and BAM, he has a ki blade.
So Oren has no choice but prematurely detonate his ki blast in such a short range to avoid the worst that blade has to offer.

But as the ki sphere in his hand blows up, the resulting explosion not only singes his outfit but around his hand blows it clean off. He further has to devote more of his focus to making his injuries look convincing enough AND he has to leave them be without restructuring his liquid metal body.
However this doesn't seem to bother him too much.
"Nice trick old man!"
He says with great enthusiasm.
>>
"HAHAAAAAA! THANKS KID!
I HOPE YOU LIKE IT! BECAUSE THERE IS MORE!"

Raising his sword and grabbing it with both hands Gerlofs slams his overly large weapon into the ground, unleashing a focused wave of raw and VERY visible wave of sharp energy.
A bead of sweat rolls down your forehead and prepare to jump in because if that thing hits, no matter how durable your barrier might be, it'll carve right through the defenses and into the audience.
But when you see Oren not faltering for a second and even seeing a look of determination on his face makes you reconsider it.

Shifting around his center of mass the young Tuffle begins standing on one leg while raising his other knee up to his chest.
Similar to his body, his entire aura shifts around and relocates itself into his foot which begins to glow with a deep blue light.
As the raging wave of destruction draws ever closer to him Oren kicks his raised leg as far back as he can and throws a kick with his entire back in it.
When his foot connects with Donias attack, it's only thanks to his densely packed energy that his leg doesn't get sliced down the middle.
But Oren seems to hold it back for a moment before his kick finally gains purchase and starts moving upward once again.
"SMASH BREAK!"

The compacted energy is violently ejected from his body all at once and focused in one direction.
This beam of pure kinetic energy is so concentrated and has such power that the updraft it causes is enough to bring Donias attack up with it.
As they fly ever higher the two attacks start rotating around one another, the two energies mixing until the resulting instability detonates both.

After the explosion happens its shockwave hits the arena, shaking it a bit even through your reinforcements.
The two fighters exchange a VERY satisfied grin with one another as they take a little breather after their little show.
Meanwhile the Saiyan royalty around you starts getting a bit excited...

"Hah... Hahaha!"
King Sadala laughs.
"Now THIS is more like it!
That little boy of yours could even pass as a Saiyan with skills like those!
You must tell me where you found such a prodigy! And how come not more of your people are like that?!
The universe could use more of you!"

I get the feeling that the monarchs (or the Queen at least) know that something's off about our "kids", but hopefully they understand that there must be a good reason why Eric is reticent about them. Aside from how great of kids they are and how smart they are and all that regular fatherly bragging stuff.
>>
You try to think this one through because you neither want to give them a non-answer nor do you want to out the twins as Tuffles, which complicates things a bit.
So you decide to give them a sort of half-truth instead.
"It's a matter of nurture, not nature.
Being human is more than your flesh and blood, that's a part of it but being human is a state of mind.
Basically humans are really adaptable and quick to grow. If the situation arises we'll adjust to it and improve.
We've only recently started discovering things like Ki and only a very small portion of the planet. I'm sure once it becomes a more "public" knowledge more people like them will appear."

"That's interesting..."
The queen starts pondering on what you just said.
"Us Saiyans are like that. But when something new comes up that we can't overcome, we just grow stronger until we can.
I guess your superior adaptation came at the cost of your natural strength."

"Something like that."

"But I wonder-"
Now King Sadala joins in as well.
"What happens when you got nothing to work towards?"

"We wipe ourselves out.
Happened before..."

"How dangerous..."

"Indeed.
Which is why this tournament is a thing.
We're in desperate need of a goal."
But as you're discussing the nature of the humanity and the human condition, the two fighters down there get done with their breather and get back to it, meaning the Saiyans rapidly loose interest in everything you just said and focus on the foightin'.

Piers sword still buzzes with energy, and it remains relatively similar to how it was before the clash, meaning he either can't or doesn't want to exert himself more.
And judging by Oren expunging even more energy it's the former...
Your boy uses the power shunted from his body to propel himself and surpass the limits of human flesh by darting around the arena showering Pier with innumerable ki blasts of varying strength.

Like a machine gun he keeps shooting with one hand extended and the other one used to steer himself.
For the most part the giant man manages to keep up, turning the handle of his blade to deflect as many projectiles with the crossguard as possible.
But after a while they just start overwhelming him so he clears them all with a wide and very powerful swing.
This also has the unfortunate side-effect of exposing himself during his recovery period which Oren fully intends to exploit.

Using his superior speed he circles around Big Pier and kicks him once in each side, prompting a quick horizontal slash from the man.
The Tuffle leans back and slides under it and raising his hand afterwards at Pier.
It becomes readily apparent what the boy plans on doing so Donia lets go of his sword with one hand and covers his face in preparation for the big Kaboom.

Sadly it never comes to that because he failed to pay attention to Orens other hand.
>>
The blast did not shoot up, it was meant to be shot down.
With his other hand Oren fired off into the concrete below, blowing chunks of it and copious amounts of dust into the air.
His improvised smoke bomb manages to catch Gerlofs off guard who begins coughing quite violently.
Turns out phenomenal cosmic power doesn't mean jack shit if your body still depends on specific gas in the air to survive.

As Oren dashes around Pier momentarily shakes off the effects of being choked to death through sheer willpower and swings his sword with one arm, while the other was busy covering his mouth and nose.
With only half of his strength at his disposal however, he was bound to loose this one.
Twisting his body around and bending backwards Oren throws a bicycle kick with all of his momentum and his current ki behind it, which proves to be more than a match to the Dutchman.

Their clash is violent and brutal, with the shockwave hitting your barrier with enough force to shake it.
There is a small back and forth between the two as they both try to push more ki out of their body but the fact that they can't keep going for long doesn't escape you. Not because of Orens, or even Piers lack of strength, but because of the sword.
Whatever metal it's made out of, be it earthly or some sort of divine material, it's reaching its limit.
As the two reach the breaking point the metal sings, shrieks, then finally crackles and breaks.

At about the halfway point the weapon simply snapped, its tip and some shards hitting the ground as they fly off.
Pier is dumbstruck by this as he slowly looks at the broken remnants of his sword.
Returning to Oren he looks at his aura, still maintaining the shape of the weapon but it's clear that he's struggling with keeping it together.
Maybe he could swing one more time with it buuuut... even that wouldn't be enough.
"BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!
Now THAT'S what I call an explosive finish!"

"E-Eh? You mean you aren't mad I broke it?"

"MAD?! BOY! You beat me!
I was putting everything into that one and you STILL got through!"
Pier then walks over to the broken pieces and gathers them up.
"This... is just iron. I was the one who made it special. But I couldn't make it special enough.
Know what that means? That you are EVEN MORE special! HAHAHAAAA!"
Gerlofs then lifts the boy onto his shoulders and happily screams.
"THE BOY WINS!"

As soon as the words escape his mouth the crowd erupts in a loud cheer that's even more ear-splitting than their fight was.
And as the two drink in the adoration of their fans Pier sneaks in a little question to Oren.
"Pssst... By the way... how much were you holding back?"

"Oh like..."
Oren shrugs.
"80%?"

"PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT!
HAH! Poor Jeanne! She deserves better...
So I guess only Lee will be any trouble for you! But hey! I'm rooting for you little man!"
>>
And I think I'll call it quits here.

Anyway I took a week off from work. Need some time away from all that nonsense to recharge my batteries. The point is that I won't be able to run because I'll be on a /trv/ adventure in Poland.
>>
Gonna post an omake today if I find the time for it.
Haven't done one of those in a while and we haven't had much of this one character in a while either.
It's a book club with Kale
>>
>>3875318
Please tell me Eric didn’t give her Callahan’s cross-time saloon the girl is still to innocent for those moral quandaries
>>
Inside the realm of the Destroyer one seldom finds anything interesting to do.
So now its new and "permanent" residents have to actively make up activities to occupy themselves.
Such is the curse of a static, eternal world.

And given how even the Saiyans can get succumb to the mind numbing effects of monotony, they too seek to spice things up every now and then.
Jumping on the sofa her "little" sister is sitting on Caulifla bounces off from the cushions before plopping down ass first next to Kale.
"HEY KALE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

"S-Sis?!
N-Nothing! I'm just... reading."

The shorter saiyan sizes up the sheer girth of the thick covered tome with an eyebrow cocked up.
"Wow... there must be a lot of pictures in there.
I hope for his sake that Eric didn't give you one of his weird porns..."

"N-NO!
It-It's just a book. We're reading it together and compare our experiences in each chapter.
He calls it a book club. I think it's fun..."

"Really? Lemme see!"
Placing one finger where Kale was Caulifla starts flipping through the pages rather fast, gasping in disbelief.
"HUUUUH?
No pictures?!"

"N-No... but it's okay!
Everything is so detailed I can just picture it when I close my eyes!
In fact I thought it was a history book at first... But Eric told me it's all fake.
When I started thinking about it, it made sense really. We haven't seen any orcs on Earth..."

"So... it's just made up?"

"Uh-huh!
But it's really fun! There are fiery monsters in there!
And magic! And- and!"

Closing the lid of the book Caulifla started reading out loud the title but never actually succeeding.
"L-L-Lord-"

"Lord of the Rings!"

"Pass...
I'd fall asleep before I'd finish a page, and it doesn't look like it'd make a good pillow.
Not when almost anywhere I lay down would be better."

Just as Kale was about to sigh however another person entered with all the subtlety and grace of a nuclear bomb.
Eric, kicking down the door and carrying what appears to be a towering stack of magazines barges in.
"CAULIFLA! I got the comics!"
>>
As he lets go of the big pile it lands on the table with a heavy THUMP and the boy gets to separating them based on their origins.
"Let's see... this is DC if you want something boring.
Marvel if you can stomach more goofy stuff in exchange for some more "relatable" things.
Dark Horse for those of the patrician tastes. And finally Image if you wanna get WEIRD."

"Niiiiice~!"
Caulifla immediately jumps on the opportunity and tries to look through the covers, seeking anything that might catch her attention.
"Is it alright if I keep these? Don't you want them?"

"Nah.
I'm... I'm sad to say but I'm pretty much done with them.
I think I'm pretty much burned out."

"Cool!
...
Heeeeeeey-"
Caulifla roared.
"There is no Manspider in here!"

"It's Spider-Man! With a hyphen! Or else you'll make Spidey cry.
And those are mine! Those are the ones I'm keeping."

Eric refused adamantly. Even though there was no good reason for it. Just sentimentality.
In a sea littered by edgelords, mary sues and caricatures of archetypes you are meant to take seriously, Spider-Man was always the quintessential Hero for him.
A kid with a simple message, who just wants to do the right thing, even if it costs him. Especially if it costs him...
But even his iron resolve got shaken when he got hit by Cauliflas secret technique: The puppydog eyes.

With a deep, defeated sigh he opens up a portal to his hidden stash and pulls out his little bundle of precious memories and hands them to the impressionable monkey girl.
"Yeay~!"
The three of them ended up snuggling up to each other on the sofa while each of them were busy reading their respective "books".
Over all it was a rather pleasant experience, one the girls wouldn't mind sharing more in the future.
>>
>>3876008
>Spider-Man was always the quintessential Hero for him.
Even when his ongoing was written by people who actively hate the character?
>>
>>3876024

Well... the idea of Spider-man is.

A bunch of retards with their heads stuck up their asses getting their grubby little hands on him is another matter entirely. Really, the whole SJW Marvel is.
But at his core Peter is still the same hero that Stan Lee dreamed up and it shows how much he still resonates with people to this day.

The PS4 game, the MCU movies, even the Raimi movies were widely successful because they treated the source material with respect.

The only people who managed to fail with the goldmine that is Spidey are fucking Sony and people left of Stalin
>>

Ehhhhhhhhhhh I wouldn't call that Peter.

I actually like Spider-Man being coected to Magic Bullshit. Not that connected, he should be just as much, if not moreso, a product of the realm of Science, but making mystical stuff a part of his lore is something I find very cool that opens up even more story opportunities. Just don't fuck it up like they did and try to retcon his backstory so that everything was '100% magic no science involved', cause that's where you get stupid.
>>
>>3876668
Yeah, I have 0 problems with him being connected to magic or cosmic shit. I mean, his best enemy is a fucking alien monstrosity connected to an eldritch god...
What I hate is how they butchered his backstory.
The whole point was that the radioactive spider could've bitten anyone. Anybody could've been spider-man. But it was him. And he has to accept the responsibility and do his best.
These fuckers wanted to make it about "Destiny" and how he's special and whatnot, completely missing the fucking point.
