“Waaaait wait wait wait!” Phantasma waves her hands. “You want me to help who, again?”

“I mean, I know this request is a little out there, but it’d mean a lot to me.” you explain, taking a sip of the tea you were served. Kinda like a green tea, but sweeter than normal. “My grandparents lack a body like I do. But I’d still like to learn from them and share… I dunno, something with them.”

The ghost girl sighs. “It’s not exactly easy to teach. Plus I’d kinda… rather not have to pop down into Hell myself.”

“You don’t have to do that. Just kinda… show me how you do what you can do.” You wave your hands in a vaguely ghost-like manner.

“You are aware they’re in Hell for a reason, right, Gohan?” Baba questions, giving you a very suspicious look. “Don’t request them special privileges just because they’re related to you. And you mentioned something else you would like to speak with me about, what was that?”

Phantasma, at the same time, hums quietly to herself as Baba speaks to you. Once Baba’s said her piece, the ghost girl asks, “Are you sure this is a good idea? I’ll be willing to explain some things, but I need you to promise you’ll use this carefully. Okay?”

>A. Deal, Phantasma!
>B. Baba, could you pass along something to Pantea and Videl? It’s about the Elder Kai, see…

“Deal, Phantasma! I’ll use this knowledge carefully, promise.” you respond to the ghost girl, giving her a charming smile. “Could you explain a bit on why you’re making this sound like a big risk, though? Better to let me know rather than for me to accidentally stumble upon it.”

She places her hands together. “Well, ghosts that learn to better interact with their surroundings have a harder time to pass on. Like me, or the others that work for Baba. Noooot exactly something the Kais like. Plus, if a less friendly ghost gets too attached, they can become a poltergeist or something like that, noisy and haunting and rude.” She waves a hand. “Totally puts in a bad name for the rest of it.”

“Okay, that makes sense. I’ll be sure to be careful with this knowledge then.” You then look to the elderly little woman, “Ah, and Baba, see, I was talking to the Elder Kai earlier. He has this ability to unlock one’s potential, even more potently than Trip can. He’s offered it to me, and I think Pantea and Videl might benefit from it too.”

Baba smiles. “Why, that is quite kind of you.”

“Theeeere’s a catch.” you admit, rubbing the back of your neck, your face tensing a little.

Baba’s smile fades. “I can tell by that expression I think I know what the request is.”

Phantasma blinks. “…Don’t get it.”

“A uh… kiss, from a pretty, living lady.” you explain.

“Oh! That all?” she asks nonchalantly.

“I mean, it’s something I want to extend to them as an offer. Not… trying to pimp out my friends or something.” you hurriedly explain to Baba.

“Of course.” She rolls her eyes. “I will… pass along the information.”

“Say, how is everyone doing down there, anyway? I don’t try to pry, but I do wanna know if Baby’s attack’s left any lingering effects.”

Baba looks down sadly. “A few things. Remnants of Baby’s station have ended up on Earth’s moon, and I’ve gotten ominous feelings from it. Bulma wants to investigate it some time. Further, Launch is suffering from Delayed Onset Ki Disorder, which has resulted in her being hospitalized. Lapis and Chuu Lee have had some issues with their Ki as well, though not to the same extent.”

>A. Oh no, that’s terrible! Is there anything I can do to help?
>B. Baby… is dead, right? No way he could come back from any of this? No way he’s hiding on the moon somehow?
>C. Can, um, you apologize for me ahead of time to Videl and Pantea?

“Oh no, that’s terrible! Is there anything I could do to help?” you ask with worry. “I mean, anything up here.”

Baba’s about to shake her head, but she stops and thinks for a moment. “…There may be something.”

Your head perks up a bit. “Yeah?”

“There is a certain fruit that King Yemma owns that grows down in Hell. It could be used in conjunction with the Senzu and some things Trip has been looking into to heal her illness.” Baba brings up. “Perhaps you can talk with him about it.”

“Awesome! But… grows in Hell?” You tilt your head.

“Indeed. Guarded by ogres and grown and ripened for Yemma.” Baba confirms.

Rubbing your chin, you add, “Hmm… speaking of, Baby… is dead, right? Not coming back, no way he’s still hiding on the moon somehow? Like, I didn’t see him down in Hell personally, but I heard he’s supposed to be there…”

“Yes. Baby is in Hell.” Baba affirms. “And unless Hell itself breaks open, there is no way he will be coming back.”

“That’s not the most comforting way to put it but okay, I’ll believe you.” You sit back and finish your tea. “Say, Phantasma, is there any way to transfer some of the knowledge about ghostly abilities to the living? Moving through the aether or something like that? Could be pretty handy.”

“Why would you move through your unc-” Phantasma stops herself and lets out a nervous laugh. “Oh. OH. I mean, not quite. Ya got a body, ya can’t start phasing through places with your spirit. But… hmmm… could KINDA do it with some kinds of Ki constructs… sorta?”

You raise an eyebrow. “Ki constructs like dad’s Dragon Fist?”

“Kinda yeah! But like, less tangible. You could make Ki… ghosts, sorta?”

You lean closer. “All right, tell me more about this.”

The ghost girl grins and almost bounces in her chair. “Okay, okay, so! A big trick to it is the idea of Ki control. Just as how I’m able to manipulate my spirit, my Ki, to behave like I have a body, you can manipulate your Ki to exhibit ghost-like effects. Strictly phasing through things is gonna be tricky, but you might be able to pull something off with afterimages…” She taps her chin. “Anyway! How you’ll be able to help your grandparents is showing them how to use that Ki innate to their spirits. With enough training, you can do things like this!” She picks up the cup of tea and sips it. Some of it spills on her seat. “…Ah. Oops. W-well, it’s not the EASIEST thing to do. Hard to mimic everything. But, ah, hey, that’s what training’s for, right?”

A mummy waiter walks over and hands her a napkin. She sheepishly takes it and cleans her seat. Heh. You ask for some more tea yourself. “So it’s some kind of… Ki control, really?”

She nods enthusiastically. “Can also end up doing things like this!” She exhales and a strange, wispy ball of Ki exits her mouth, floating around her slowly. “Can fill it with Ki and set it off against something, or mold it into a form you’d like!” The wisp changes into a more traditionally ghost-like version of herself and waves at you. “See? Neat huh?” The two turn to face one another… and then the wispy version of herself bursts like a party popper, pushing her ghostly hair back. “…Gooootta be careful with how you use ‘em though.”

“Huh. Okay. And is there anything you’d like in exchange? I’m sure mom’s told you all about that philosophy of hers.”

Her eyes light up. “Ooh, ooh, sure! What’re you offering?!”

>A. Afterimage! You did mention it might be useful in making techniques that pass through things, so I can share that with you and we can see how that works

“You mentioned the Afterimage technique being something that could work with what you could teach me. So how about I share some advanced tricks with that? Fair trade, no?”

Phantasma bounces excitedly again. “Yeah! Yeah, let’s!” She stands, phasing through the table slightly and starts to head off.

Baba chuckles. “Always eager, that one. I’ll handle the bill, though only this once.” the old lady tells you with a chuckle. “Go on and get your training done.”

You head off with the ghost girl and get to work. Learning what Yazai taught you about deflecting afterimages actually proves handy in managing this new kind of ghostly ability. First is getting down the idea of utilizing your soul’s innate Ki to manipulate things; not exactly something you can do right now thanks to your body, but definitely something you can explain to Bardock and Gine. Next though is applying it to your Ki, and while you don’t quite end up with techniques that could pass through a foe’s defenses or something, you figure out how to apply it to the Afterimage technique.

And helping you along with that, Phantasma learns the skill just about as quickly as you do. She’s able to apply it to her ghostly copies to result in two different things, one is true “wisps” that are able to pass through things like Afterimages, though leaving an off feeling as they do, and the other is something that puts the detonating Afterimages you learned from Pantea, resulting in true, exploding ghosts.

“Whew! That was fun! Lots of fun!” she exclaims, floating around you, one of her wispy copies floating nearby. “Bet this could be real useful come Halloween too…”

Baba floats near you on her crystal ball. “Seems our time here is up. Do you wish to head to King Yemma directly, or are you going back to King Kai’s, Gohan?”

>A. Actually, I should probably head back to King Kai first, see if there’s more I can do with this weighted training
>B. Better not leave them waiting! Heading to King Yemma right now
>C. Gonna wait on that just a bit, saw some weird structures on my way here. Know anything about ‘em?
>D. Something else?

>D. Hey, Phasm- Phantoma- Phastanma- "Phanty?" Phanty. It's okay to be scared, but you can do a lot if you don't give up and forge ahead. From what Izzy told me, you can do a great deal. So believe in yourself.

“Gonna wait on that a bit actually. Saw this place down Snake Way as I ran here. Large palace kind of thing. You know anything about that, Baba?”

She gives you a curious look. “That would be the work of the one who calls herself Princess Snake, though be warned that such a being is not as she appears.”

“Princess Snake?” you repeat, doing EVERYTHING in your power not to try an impression of a certain legendary mercenary from a videogame series you’ve played.

“Indeed. She and Yemma have history that goes back hundreds of years, rumor has it she’s been trapping strapping young men for nefarious purposes.”

Well that’s a bombshell right there. “Wait, King Yemma… had a wife?”

“Honestly I think it’s best they’re apart. All the yelling I remember them doing. Can you imagine trying to have your soul judged right in the middle of a couple’s spat?” Baba shakes her head. “Point is you should be wary if you ever set foot in there.”

A thought occurs. “...How is she even up here? Is she a spirit, or…?”

“Oh no, she’s a minor deity like him and Annin.”

Cuuuurious. Eh, if she’s up to no good you can probably tell her to knock it off. “Think I’ll give that a look, then head down to Hell. Oh, also, Phantasma… Phanty? Phanny. Phanny okay?”

“Yeah!”

“Cool. So Phanny, if you’ve got some Halloween thing coming up, do your best with it. Izzy told me you’re capable of a lot, so I bet it’ll be fun. Best of luck!”

She leaps in the air excitedly. “Thank you Gohan!”

You give them a wave and then stretch your legs. “All right, heading off now! Later!” And back on Snake Way you go, weights on and back to training. But you do decide to stop off near the palace, slowing as you get to it. Finally, you walk towards the ornate place, looking strikingly similar to the Check-in Station. You give a knock on the door. “Hello? Anyone home?”

There’s the sound of rustling in the distance. The doors open slowly. “Please, come in, weary traveler.”

You can sense something’s Ki near. Does… feel strangely like Yemma’s, but certainly not him directly. However it’s not just a single thing, it’s like… like it’s all around.

“Sure was nice of Princess Snake to invite me in for a picnic, ey Peppa?” You ask an imaginary finger puppet you hold around your tail that would definitely look like your sister.

“I hope she makes lotsa spicy curry!” you motion your tail to make the mouth movements.

…

Gohan what the heck are you doing?

You shake your head, and enter the doorway, walking in casually, trying to make sure the added weight around your body doesn’t leave any marks as you move. You look around the rather beautiful interior, and see as several blue-skinned women with pointed ears in scale qipaos approach, bowing their heads as you move forward. The center of the hallway lights up. A lady with fluffy red hair and another scale dress, a long… not featherboa, but like, fluffboa? Furboa? Something around the back of her neck and shoulders.

“Hello, weary traveler. I noticed you pass by here once before. I am the one known as-”

“Princess Snake, hello. Name’s Son Gohan.” you interrupt. You look her over, a rather pretty woman with quite a figure, though you can tell there’s something a little… off… about her. Not especially strong, but she doesn’t completely feel like what you felt before.

“You… have.” She seems confused. “Tell me my boy, what brings you here? If you’d like we could share a little feast with you, let you relax for a bit. Are you on your way back to King Kai?”

“Nah, actually about to take a trip down to Hell.” you reply like that’s a completely normal sentence to make. “Wanted to see what this place was about.”

She blinks. She keeps up her friendly demeanor but seems more wary, looking over you and trying to discern how to respond to that. “Well, my palace is a place for weary travelers like yourself to stop, rest, maybe freshen up. Why would you wish to travel to Hell though?”

“Visitin’ grandparents.” You place your hands behind your neck.

“Aww, such a kind boy.” She starts to walk toward you slowly.

“Kinda curious, Princess Snake, why would you have a palace so far along Snake Way? Also, what’s your relationship with it, if you don’t mind my asking? I heard you were a minor god. And for that matter, what’s this palace made of, anyway? Getting some weird Ki vibes from it.” You almost shotgun questions at her, finishing up with, “Plus it’s got some pretty interesting architecture designs to it. You design it all yourself or…?”

Finally giving her a break from the barrage of questions, she slows her movement forward. She’s definitely giving you an uneasy look. “Well, my boy, my palace exists as a place for the most weary and worthy of travelers to stop and rest at. We rarely get many visitors, but the ones that do stop by are quite the occasion.” She turns her left shoulder towards you, stopping, smiling, and holding her hand to her lips. “Someone as young as you making it this far, especially with those weights around you… you must be tired.”

“Hardly. I could literally go for days like this.” you respond, flexing. “King Kai made sure these things would be plenty to keep me training.”

Princess Snake’s friendly demeanor starts to slowly disappear. “Well, Snake Way IS named after m- …my folks. And this palace is something of an architectural achievement by… us.”

“Indeed, Princess Snake wants all travelers to come feeling welcome.” one of the other women comment.

“No expense spared for making them feel comfortable.” another adds, a lot of them approaching you.

“You must be so tired though, why not come, sit, have some food to keep your body strong.”

Well. On one hand, certainly a lot of pretty ladies surrounding you trying to speak in semi-sultry tones. On the other, you weren’t born yesterday. “Hey, Princess Snake? What’s your real deal here? You’ve got this weird Ki signature to you and just… the whole place around us. Mind telling what your real deal here is?”

Her eyes narrow as she tries to force a smile. You hear… hissing. “Do you… not want to enjoy my hospitality? Aw, but such a kind and handsome young man like yourself should feel at home here.” She opens her arms wide. “Come, have a bite to eat, and-”

You cross your arms. “You’re avoiding answering my question.”

She pouts, placing her hands on her hips. “You’re going to be difficult here, aren’t you?”

“Not at all. I’m just concerned why a pretty lady like yourself would go to all the trouble.” That gets her to blush slightly. “…And also why you’re avoiding my question.”

Princess Snake bends slightly and looks you over. A devious smirk appears on her face. “…Do you want to play a game, boy?”

Okay. Look at the situation you’re in right now. Kinda hot but weird and slightly creepy snake lady is starting to breathe down your neck, possibly not metaphorically if this keeps up, and is asking you to play a game with her. Looooot of red flags popping up. Not like you couldn’t take her, but probably should be wary of whatever she’s trying to pull. Plus, not sure if you get into trouble if you start a fight with her here.

What to do? Play along with this, see what she’s planning? Play dumb a little, maybe start… talking games YOU’RE good at? Or you could confront her more directly, tell her you’re not in the mood for games? …Could also just leave. What to do, what to do…?

You cross your arms confidently. “Bet I’ve played way better games than what you’ve got.”

Princess Snake glares harshly, still trying to keep her smile. “Is that so?”

“Yeah. Lots. So whatever game you’ve got, it better be interesting.” you declare. “If not, I’m outta here.”

She’s intrigued, if a little offended. “Well, this is quite a bit more challenging than most would be used to. Something… delectable. Delicious.” she chuckles ominously.

Delectable… delicious… wait. “…Like some kind of Gourmet Race?”

She blinks, confused. “…Yyyyyes.” she tries to affirm since it catches your interest.

“Hah, please, I’ve faced tougher. That ain’t no Rainbow Road.” you declare confidently. “Come on, gotta be some tougher videogames you have.”

“Oh, no no my boy, this isn’t one on a screen. You’ll play it in the REAL world. Ladies?” Princess Snake snaps her fingers. Several of her servants bring out large plates filled with various kinds of food. “You’ll… race along and Snake Way and collect these dishes, racing me until you’ve gotten your fill, or we reach the start of Snake Way.”

Curious. “So I eat as I go?”

“Of course. A handsome young man like yourself deserves a full belly.” She seems to have calmed now. “Though if you want to save it all for the end…”

“If I win?”

Princess Snake chuckles. “You get a prize. Something special from me.”

You stretch your limbs. “All right, sounds like good training. Can I ask my request now?”

“Why certainly, young man.” she gives a soft giggle.

“If I win, I’d like you to give Elder Kai a kiss.”

She blinks again, quiet. “…Elder Kai?”

“Supreme Kai from 15 generations ago. Sound fair?”

“Wh… wait, not yourself?” Princess Snake questions. “And a Supreme Kai… that, um…”

“He wants me to bring him a pretty lady.” you respond nonchalantly. “Why not bring you?”

She stutters and makes a “guffaw” kind of sound after hearing that reply. “W-well! I’m… flattered. Very well…if you wish, you can request that. If you win, of course.”

“Sweet. Shake on it? To a fair game, without any tricks.”

She giggles, eyes narrowing as a smirk appears on her face. “Certainly. To a fair game.”

Her servants set up a number of dishes along Snake Way. You notice her dress has changed slightly, gotten shorter and with jogging shorts under it. A blonde member of her servants brings out a flare gun. “Okay, first one to the reach the finish line at the start will be declared the winner! Be sure to eat lots of food!” She tries to fire… and it doesn’t work. She tries again. Nothing. Again. Nope. She brings it to her face and clicks again. The flare goes off in the lady’s face. She coughs. “…G-go. Just go.”

Princess Snake starts along her way, picking up a meal and running along with it, chomping it down as she goes. You head off as well. First plate ahead looks like a large roast bird of some kind.

You bolt forward, using your training and your Saiyan biology to your fullest, munching down on plate after plate as you rush forward. Boar, bird, beef, so much food! Though once done you make sure to leave the empty plates to be collected. Don’t wanna litter over the side to Hell! …What a strange sentence that is. Ah well, back to the food and the race! You think you might even outdo dad when he’s hungry at this rate. And you bolt far ahead of Princess Snake, leaving her behind. You even slow down a bit to make sure she’s keeping up. She surprisingly is, though you’ve got quite the head start on her. Better keep it that way!

By the half-way point of this race, you let out a yawn involuntarily. Ugh. Were those birds turkey? Wait, mom said that was just an urban legend. Bah, can’t slow down now, you’re almost at the check-in station! …Might want to start pacing yourself though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w4B16TRsPM

“Ha… ha… h-how are you still going?” Princess Snake asks in the distance. “Y-you... you’ve… eaten so much already…” You notice that she… isn’t actually nearly as tired as she’s making herself look to be.

“What can I say? Saiyans eat a lot, and I’m half-Saiyan.” you reply cheekily.

“AND Tuffles eat frequently!” you add as you bolt on ahead, going after the next dish. You keep this up for another stretch of the way… when your movement starts to slow. You sense Princess Snake start to catch up to you. What the heck? You’re not going to tire THAT easily are you? How CAN your body tire out so easily?

…

Something’s fishy.

You take one more bite from another dish, a strip steak. You finish chewing and let out a yawn. Ugh. What the…? “Princess Snake, where exactly did you get this stuff from?”

“Well my boy, it’s all a… special recipe… heeheeheehee~”

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

Red flag red flag red flag. “PRINCESS SNAKE WE SHOOK ON THIS.”

“The thing about shaking, little boy… you need hands! HeeheehaahahahahaHAHAHA!” Oh that is ominous.

“PRINCESS SNAKE COME ON.” Legs shaky, how much of this stuff did you eat? Aaaaah crap crap crap!

“It took a SUBSTANTIAL amount more than I’d expected, but you should probably be tiring out juuuust about now!” she declares. You look back. The lady is no longer just a regular lady but is now a MASSIVE SNAKE… that looks kinda like Snake Way itself okay what. The snake starts to slither through the sky faster.

“OH COME ON. WHY?”

“They won’t let me back in to Hell to dish out the punishment on the wicked, I have to make due with what I can!” she yells back in her snake-like form.

“Princess Snake, I didn’t want to do this, but you’re leaving me no choice.” your Ki surges. Gonna go full throttle here while you still can. Bolting forward, you keep to the rules of the race, and just try to cross the finish line… thoooough you also decide to try a technicality. You pick up the plates that you come across and instead of eating from them, you throw them BACK at Princess Snake! See how she likes getting slowed down! “Careful, might put on a bit more weight!”

“How DARE you you little-!” she hisses, trying to catch up, but since her mouth is such a large target, it’s easy to make sure the food lands. You then fly around her, causing the serpent to try and snap at you with her massive maw, even causing her to tangle herself up a bit, making it even easier to get ahead and toss more food towards her.

Blasting ahead, you finally reach the entrance to Snake Way, and grab the final bit of food there, a large golden melon that’s surprisingly easy to peel. Princess Snake, now ACTUALLY exhausted, slithers close… but fails to reach the entrance, collapsing right behind the head leading to the road. She pants as you take a bit from the melon. Huh. Tastes like… a generic, kinda off-brand energy drink, but in fruit form. Weird! After done with your bite, you tell her, “I’ve won. Rules are rules, even if you broke them.”

She… lets out a pouting whine. “And I was so sure… so sure I’d have gotten at least one more morsel…”

“You uh. You gonna stay like that?” you ask the giant snake.

In a… poof that reminds you of Puar, the massive serpent changes back into her humanoid form, pouting at you. “How is it that you were able to power through that? You took in enough of my venom to kill a lesser being.”

“Wait VENOM?!” you exclaim.

She waves her hand dismissively. “Oh it’s not going to have much a lasting effect if you’ve been able to resist it this long. Besides, that fruit you ate is going to help flush it right out.”

Your guts gurgle as she says that. “Was a pretty cheap trick you pulled. But you did make an agreement before we started this, remember? Don’t wanna go back on that. King Kai might have the path renamed.”

Princess Snake grumbles. “That’s not how it… tch. Fine.”

“Hey, Elder Kai is the one who made the request, I just intend to fulfill it. Pretty lady, no halos, not too young. You check all the boxes… not sure what he might say to that other form of yours, but hey, this is a pretty look.” She guffaws again. “All righty, I’ll be back some time later. Gonna head down to Hell now.”

Depends on the kind of venom ingested. Most can pass through, if tasting bitter, but at high enough doses not enough will get broken down in digestion. Regardless, Princess Snake's is quite a bit different from the serpents that exist on Earth. Having ears in her serpentine form, for example.

Anyway, we are back!

>>4003875
“Oof. She’s up to her old tricks, huh?” King Yemma asks you with a grumbling sigh.

“Yeah, but I handled it pretty well I’d think.”

“Well maybe this’ll get her to clean her act up a bit.” the ogre comments to himself. “Anyway, you’re planning to take a sample of the Ensenji?”

“With your permission, of course.” you reply with a bow. “And to visit my grandparents one more time. Have something I’d like to talk with them about.”

“Hmmmm… all right. I’ll have to have you go through a little test if you wish to take it, but if you succeed, you can keep it. Just be on your best behavior down there.” King Yemma then… opens a drawer? “Usually I’d have you take a ride down there, but I’d rather not have to get even more paperwork out.”

You blink. “…Er, what do you mean?”

Stamping down on a paper with one hand, he points to the drawer with the other. “What, you think I’ll head all the way down to Hell just to get some myself? Hop in kid, shortcut.”

Has a portal to Hell in his desk. Ooooof course he does. Afterlife keeps finding new things to surprise you with. Wonder how that works? Ah well.

>A. Any hints on what this test might be, sir?
>B. Sooooo… Princess Snake, huh? What’s the story with her, if you don’t mind my asking?
>C. Thank you, sir. Would you like anything in retrun for this?

>>4005159

“Thank you, sir. Would you like anything in return for this?”

He taps his chin after stamping another paper. “…Actually, yeah. You’ve got some paperwork to sort out if you’re really intent on coming back to the realm of the living in a few months. When you’re back, I want you to help me file that away.” He lets out a soft chuckle. “Heh, your uncle helped me out with that a while back when he died.”

“Sounds like a fair trade.” You place your hands behind your neck. “So… you and Princess Snake, huh? What’s the story behind that, if you don’t mind my asking?”

He grumbles and rubs his head. “Back when I trained with King Kai, she tried to pull that stunt with me. Ended up havin’ to wrestle her down to stop her from causing any more trouble than she already was. And then, well… heh, she asked me to marry her.” He strokes his beard. “Shoulda’ seen the warning signs, in retrospect. She landed a job down in Hell for a few centuries, but grew to be a bit… greedy with the sinful souls down there. Munching on too many of them. Started yelling at each other, started arguing during judgements…” Yemma sighs loudly. “Kid. Take if from me. No matter how pretty a lady might be, don’t go for crazy. It’s fun at first, but at some point she’s gonna try to stuff you in a jar and boil you until you’re soup.”

…Oddly specific. “Rrrrright then! I’ll be back for that later!”

And so you head into the drawer and journey back to Hell, running down a staircase as you do. You appear in a more garden-looking part of Hell, walking forward slowly. Two ogres are noticeable in the distance, a red and blue pair, both with spiked clubs. “So, the little monkey boy wants one of the fruits, ja Goz?” the red one asks.

“Looks like it, Mez.” the blue one responds.

“King Yemma said I’d have to pass a test. What exactly have you got in store for me?” you ask the pair.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4KhZeVosMM

A wispy sphere of Ki appears in Mez’s hands. He then tosses it into the air, grabs his club with both hands… and thwacks it like a baseball, the sphere just barely missing your head. “We play a game of Hell Ball!”

Goz then claps his hands, a spiky uniform appearing near him. “And you gotta wear this. It’s 100 tons! You’ve got three chances, kid, to make a Home Run! Think you’ve got what it takes?”

>A. Absolutely, let’s go!
>B. Bet I could take even more than that, why not double it, give me a real challenge?

You smirk with confidence. “Bet I could do even more than that.” You crack your knuckles. “Why not double it? Give me a real challenge.”

The pair laugh. “Ohohohoho, cocky kid are ya?” Goz claps his hands again, the gear gets even thicker and heavier. “Let’s see how you do in this!”

https://youtu.be/gUboafFkEQc

You get the gear on and are handed one of the clubs. Mez gets behind you as the catcher, Goz the pitcher, a little field forming around you. The weight IS noticeable, but it’s not enough to deter you. You ready yourself and bring the club up. Goz forms another sphere. “PLLLLLLLAAAAAAY BALL!”

The sphere is lobbed towards you. Your heel digs into the ground slightly. Here it goes! You have to power up just a bit to make sure you swing it correctly, but when you do… “HAAAAAAA-AH!” You knock the sphere upwards, higher, higher, higher… wow it’s still going. Where IS it going? The sound of something cracking and breaking a ways away signals where. You leap up to look. You hit one of those jagged mountains. Wow!

Floating down, you give the ogres a grin. “Think that’s a home run. Fruit now?”

The two gawk. “Y-yeah… wow…”

“Awesome! Thanks!”

After the gear’s removed, you’re gifted a little basket with the fruit inside it. You grin happily. “Thanks guys! That was fun, maybe we’ll play again some time!”

“B-better we wait on that! Haha.” Mez chuckles nervously.

“B-be on your way, young man!” Goz encourages.

“Oh yeah, gotta visit Bardock and Gine. Later guys!” You wave and head off. Along the way you notice a few curious things. You spot a few curious figures by the Bloody Pond, beings with bodies but not ogres. Nearby there are a number of spirits heading to a large bus, wonder that that’s about. Hmm, shouldn’t let yourself get distracted though.

You shrug and continue on your way to Bardock and Gine. Shouldn’t loiter in Hell. Or litter for that matter. Who knows what the fine is for littering in Hell. And you’re not about to stick around to find out! …Okay mind might be drifting a bit, focus, Gohan, focus.

You find Bardock and Gine again after sensing them out, and explain what you’ve learned to them. They’re astounded that such a thing is even possible, though Bardock’s clearly far more interested in it than Gine is. “Heh, you really came through with this huh?”

“Well yeah. Mom instilled in me the idea of equivalent exchange pretty well. You helped me out, I help you out, we both grow from it. Plus it’s helped me learn all sorts of new things, even just trying to repay you guys for this.”

Gine looks away, mumbling to herself. “Can teach that but can’t keep you from ending up here…”

“Grandpa Bardock, anything that stands out about what Phantasma taught me?” you ask.

“Maybe. Making more manageable constructs might be useful with it.” he comments. “Might also be useful when someone goes for your tail.”

“My tail?”

“Yeah. Tail’s a part of you, but you lose it, you lose some valuable traits. Might take a long, long time, but maybe you could use the idea behind this to make a sort of… phantom limb.” He shrugs. “Something like that, in any case. Keep it in mind for later.”

Huh. Interesting! “Well, ready to begin?”

They nod, and so you get to work, explaining all you learned from Phantasma. And… it’s easier said than done. Bardock is able to get SOME ideas behind it, but your explanations kinda… don’t go over so well. He just barely manages to get the idea of physical sensation down again, and you offer to try and take a punch from him. Aaaaand his ghostly fist passes through you. You sigh, lowering your head and your guard as Bardock looks at his hand.

“One more time.” Bardock insists.

“I dunno, I just-”

“HRRAAAH!”

And… it connects! And… with your guard down. You end up knocked aside. Ow. Gine lets out an annoyed, “Bardock!” and pouts at him.

“Oh come on, kid’s been through way worse.” he responds.

“Eheh, true. And hey, it worked!” Bright side, bright side. Dang, gramps has a bit of a haymaker though. Next up, Grandma! And… Gine simply doesn’t manage any of it, having trouble even getting the basics down.

“I’m… sorry. I’ve never really been all that good at these kinds of things.” she admits in a low tone to you. Though… maybe that’s not all to it. Maybe there’s something more to it, something distracting her. “Maybe you should focus on your grandfather…”

“Grandma Gine, listen, I want to help you too. If… if you’re still not happy with how I ended up here. I can’t blame you for feeling that way. It was still my choice, and I didn’t want to end up some maniac’s puppet. A fate worse than death, really. If you hold on to this, you’ll never be able to move on, have a change of heart. Holding a grudge is going to hold you back. And… tell you what, if she ever ends up in the afterlife again, even if it’s just to go to King Kai’s to train, I’ll recommend to her to head down here to sort things out with you. Think you can put this aside until then?”

Gine looks back to you, a sad smile on her face. “You’re a good kid, Gohan.” She tries to place her hand on your cheek… and it still fails to really do so. “…I’ll have to keep trying, I guess. But thank you.”

All right folks, that's all for tonight! We’ll continue tomorrow starting ~5:30 pm PST. I’ll be around for a bit for questions and stuff. Did y’all have fun? Also, more Gohan, or switch to Peppa or Izzy?

>>4005996

Go bug Vegeta about SSJ 4

Not to get it, but to see what it can do for the other SSJ forms by learning.

You let out a nervous chuckle as your eyes look over the computer screen before you. Hooh. Cocoa wasn’t kidding about putting that pic online. Caption’s certainly not hiding anything either. “Movie Date went well!~” You rub the side of your head. That is… quite a lot of responses to it. Some positive. Some… not as positive. LOT of folks expressing general surprise.

Outside you sense a pair of people arrive with mom. Excuse to pull your eyes away from the screen. Oh! Tarble, and his wife Gure. Dad walks out to greet them. Looks like they’re about to start training. Huh, speaking of, Vegeta’s been pretty busy trying to learn how to manage that Primal Super Saiyan thing too. Think Nappa and Baozi have been pestering him about it constantly. Uncle Raditz likewise said he was curious about what you tapped into when… you learned Gohan died. Plus he wants to give Daikon some more training. Hmm…

>A. Gonna stick with dad and Tarble see if there’s anything you can do to help
>B. Vegeta’s Primal Super Saiyan definitely has you curious, should head over and check on that
>C. Might wanna stop by Raditz’s place today, you’re curious about that power too
>D. Should probably train with someone else for a while, might be worth expanding your horizons
>E. Eeeehhh… you’ve trained enough for a while, should make the most of summer while you can! Do something else today!

Mmmyeah dad’s probably gonna be plenty busy, and Vegeta’s got his own stuff to do, you should check up on uncle Raditz today. That power WAS something that you tapped into, if briefly. Best to see what you might be capable of with it. You give him a brief comment that you’ll be heading over today, then teleport over with Instant Transmission.

You arrive to see him and Daikon sparring a little. Well, mostly Daikon trying to spar with his dad, pushing himself, as Raditz instructs. The boy just barely misses a blow to Raditz’s head when he notices you. Daikon smiles excitedly. “Peppa! Hi! Didn’t know you- ACK.”

Raditz holds his son by the tail. “And that’s why you don’t let yourself get distracted.”

“Yes daaaad…”

You laugh softly. “Still haven’t tapped into Super Saiyan yet, huh?”

Daikon shakes his head. Raditz lets him down and pats his head. “You’ll get there.” The older Saiyan then looks to you. “So, you want to give a try with that power you tapped into?”

>A. Sure, but I’ll need you to describe exactly what you saw, I’m still not sure what I was doing

“Actually, before we start, I wanna help Daikon out a bit. That okay with you, uncle Raditz?” you ask, tail swaying behind you as the less frigid but still kinda chilly air surrounds you.

The boy’s eyes light up excitedly. Your uncle chuckles. “All right then. Let’s see if this’ll be able to push him.”

You nod, then look to Daikon. “Okay, think of it this way. Anger is a component to it, but it’s not all there is to transforming. You have to channel it the right way. Draw your power up through your body. Anger is a starting point, but don’t rely on it. This power is YOUR power, it comes from within.” You take a deep breath. You let your aura surge up a bit, then slowly draw out your power. “Tap into that hidden strength, and then use it to transform!” And just like that, your hair spikes up and goes gold, your eyes turning greenish blue.

“Find something to focus on.” Raditz adds. “Something to drive you forward, something to push you beyond.”

Daikon closes his eyes. “Focus… and draw out that power… my power…” He’s close. You can sense it. Just needs that extra push. Hmm…

“Daikon, come at me!” you declare, your aura surging up. “Focus your strength and use it! Like your life depends on it!”

His eyes open in shock. He looks to his dad. Raditz smirks and nods. Daikon then blasts towards you, yelling out as he tries to punch you. You catch his fist easily, and then push him back. He tries again, and again, and again, frustration building… but giving way to something else. Determination. He’s almost there! “Hrrraaah!”

“Come on Daikon, give it everything you’ve got! All your power! You CAN do this! You don’t wanna fall under the control of someone like Baby again, right?!”

https://youtu.be/wZDTgzMaZzE

That was it. “HRRAAAAAHHH!” Daikon yells out, his hair spiking, his power rocketing upward. He stands and faces you, before throwing one last punch. You catch it, but there’s MUCH more force behind it this time. You actually have to put effort into stopping it.

“Congrats, Daikon. You’re a Super Saiyan, just like your dad.” you praise.

The anger on his face fades into an expression of pure joy. Raditz pulls the kid into a bear hug. “That’s my boy! Knew you had it in you!”

“I’M GONNA SHOW MOM!” Daikon yells out excitedly.

>A. So, my turn. Tell me what you saw when I transformed, uncle Raditz
>B. Better wait a bit on that, Daikon, try and maintain your power first
>C. Let ‘em go, get some space and power up

“Beeeetter wait on that, Daikon. You’ve still got a lot to learn about it. Try to maintain your strength, first.”

“Awwww… okaaaay…” Daikon sighs, but tries to keep his focus.

Crossing your arms, you look to the boy’s father. “So, my turn. Can you explain all that happened? Tell me what you saw when it all went down, uncle Raditz.”

“Visually it looked like your Super Saiyan 2 state.” Raditz explains. “But there was something different to it, far greater strength, like… an evolution of that power somehow. You tapped into extreme rage, rage beyond what you even had against Majin Ozotto.”

Huh. Curious. “So I didn’t go 3 at all?”

“No, looked basically the same as 2. Just with far, far more output to it. Whatever was in that strength though, it was beyond your normal Super Saiyan 2 and felt more like the kind of power you have in 3. That Limit Breaking thing you do, not sure how it’d compare, but it was something above it, for sure.”

The power of Super Saiyan 3 without having to risk all that stamina drain? Well, that’s DEFINITELY something you’d like to tap into. But it requires exceptional rage… hrmn.

>A. All right, let’s give this a go then. Super Saiyan 2, and then try to push beyond it, but without reaching 3
>B. Bet there’s something more to it than that. Gohan dying is how you tapped into it, and you couldn’t really control yourself completely… maybe that’s what you need to focus on first, control
>C. Could you tell me if you’ve gotten close to it yet, uncle Raditz?
>D. Something else?

>>4007217
>A. All right, let’s give this a go then. Super Saiyan 2, and then try to push beyond it, but without reaching 3
>D. Recognize that the rage effect may or may not be separate, but that controlling the greater power should come first.

“All right, let’s give this a go then. Super Saiyan 2, and pushing beyond, but not quite into 3.” All right Peppa, focus. Rage might have allowed you to tap into this power, but it may or may not be the key to it. You need to focus on controlling this strength. This is your power. Take hold of it.

https://youtu.be/dbgdmI8Nmak

You, Raditz, and Daikon travel deeper into the mountains, far enough to not cause any damage while you power up. All right. First step. Super Saiyan 2! Your hair spikes up more, your aura surging and sparking. And so you try to draw out more power. The ground shakes beneath you. Power. What was that power? You were filled with rage. Sorrow. You blamed yourself for your brother’s death. You wanted to get Videl back. You just… you were just so angry. You couldn’t calm down, you just wanted to… to stop those responsible for all this.

…

But that’s how you lost control, isn’t it? It’s not how you tapped into it. Come on Peppa, think. There’s a difference to it all. Use that Tuffle mind of yours. Focus. It’s that Gohan died and you couldn’t protect him. It’s that they took Videl and you couldn’t protect her. Your friends, your family, you wanted to protect them, and you couldn’t. You viciously went after Basilea because you couldn’t protect those you care about.

Your aura keeps sparking higher, furious, like a torrent of power, your power increasing, but not quite matching your Super Saiyan 3 strength. “There’s something more.” Raditz comments. “This isn’t it. Not quite. Think back, Peppa, what did it feel like?”

Felt like… like you were losing control, almost. But you had to get Videl back. You wanted your best friend back. It was a fear of losing more that caused you to tap into it. What… what would you fear losing?

…

You know the answer to that. You already had a run-in with that before. “Cocoa…” you breathe out quietly. Your power spikes. Come on Peppa, take hold. If you want to protect those you care about most, you need to be able to take control of this power. No letting rage blind you! This is YOUR power! Yours to use, as something to protect others with!

The ground underneath shatters and pushes away, a crater forming beneath you. Your aura erupts with power, but then calms. You close your eyes and breathe out. Slowly, they open. Raditz is grinning wide. You’ve done it.

You’ve broken the limits of Super Saiyan 2. Not completely under control yet, but it IS something you can do without relying on intense rage. One step closer to your ultimate goal.

With training, it might be able to mix with Limit Breaker. Currently it'd be pretty hard to pull off, but training it to work with Limit Breaker would be easier than the first attempt at it. Straight-up Kaio-ken would be far more risky though, especially with all the power this form uses.

You look over your body, electricity sparking over you, your aura still flowing with tremendous power. Raditz lets out a laugh. “Haha! Well now! Look like you pulled it off, though can you really control it?”

Glancing at him and smirking, you reply, “Far better than I was able to when I fought Basilea with it, that’s for sure.”

He cracks his knuckles. “Ready to test it out?”

“OOH! OOH! CAN I SPAR TOO?!” Daikon asks excitedly.

“I think you should wait on that, focus on holding Super Saiyan first.” Raditz tells his son.

“Better listen to your dad, Daikon. You don’t wanna rush into things and hurt yourself. Heck, even I’m still learning to control this power. I don’t wanna accidentally uppercut you into the moon or something.” you tell the boy, adding a soft laugh. “Buuuut…” You Clothes Beam a new shirt for him, weighted to give him something to test himself against. That has “RAD BOY” written across the front.

He laughs. “Awesome! Thanks Peppa!”

You give him a thumb’s up, then face your uncle. Raditz powers up, going Super Saiyan 2 himself. “All right Peppa. Let’s see this.”

https://youtu.be/KNmzzUCX7Io

The two of you leap into the air, getting a few dozen meters above the mountains, the two of you clash, testing one another first, but with it very clear that you’ve got the upper hand. Raditz tries to use his size to his advantage, but you’re able to swerve around his blows, countering each punch, kick, chop, knee thrust, headbutt, and even tail slash he attempts. It feels like an hour of fighting, even though this spar lasts no more than a few minutes.

“Hah, looks like it’s even better than I thought! This power’s phenomenal!”

“Don’t get too cocky, kid!” Raditz declares. “HRRRAAAAAAAHHHH!” He powers up once again, his hair growing longer as he finally taps into Super Saiyan 3. This is a much more even battle, with your uncle using some fairly clever tactics to try and overcome all your defenses. But you’re just as sharp, countering his attacks again, your body spinning around your uncle’s and striking with just as much force as he’s putting out. He’s able to take the hits, but only just. You finally manage to grab him by the leg and spin him around, flinging him to the ground but halfway before he reaches it you’re able to connect a dropkick that sends him down even harder than before. He lands and leaves a crater, dust and smoke covering him.

“Think you’ve had enough, uncle Raditz?” you ask… noticing your breathing’s getting heavier than you expected. Air pressure? No… gah, you’re barely beyond where you’d be with Super Saiyan 3, you can’t be losing stamina already!

“SATURDAY CRASH!” Raditz yells out, flinging a blast of energy up towards you. You’re able to get out of the way, but see him flying up and firing more and more Ki blasts around you. Doesn’t look like they’re connectin- wait a second. You look around. You’re surrounded by them! “Haha, got you! HELLZONE GRENADE!”

Right as they’re about to connect, you use Instant Transmission to dodge out of the way and appear behind him, attempting a hammer blow that he just barely blocks with his forearm. You pant. Close one. “Sneaky. But I’m not falling for a trick like that.”

Raditz rubs his nose with his free hand. “Looks like we’re both close to our limits. Call it?”

>A. Yeah. Gonna need more time to train with this
>B. Bah, not even! I can keep going, just you watch!
>C. Could try and get a heal first, then go again
>D. Something else?
