New reader that just caught up here.
You made a pretty fun quest, QM.
I'm looking forward to the next arc

New Vadosbro reporting in for duty!

"It's not always this quick.
Usually we plan things out, execute them and then things go tits up.
Today we got lucky and managed to sucker punch them so hard we won in like a second."

You then tell them exactly how you managed to screw the demons and what happened to them afterwards.
Needless to say, as acclimated to bullshit as these guys are even they were shocked to hear about your dealings with the two Zenos.

"HOT DAMN!"
Krilling shrieks.
"Didn't realize things were this bad!
You should consider yourself lucky that you got out of that so easily!"

"Indeed-"
Tien backs him up.
"The Zenos are unpredictable at best.
I don't know if I could keep my composure meeting them face to face like that."

"Nah!
As scary as they are Zenny and Zenny are pretty easy to get a read on.
They're like children, really bad at hiding what's on their mind. The only problem is that they have more powerful than your average kid."
Your fellow humans stare at you dumbly.
"What?"

"D-Did you just call them Zenny?"
Bulma asks.

"Yeah. Why?"

"Figures...
Anyway I think I can speak for all of us when I say: we're glad this is over with.
A time traveling demon is the last thing we'd want to deal with!"
Oh... if only they knew.
"So, does that mean you're returning home now?"

"Not yet."
You lean back on your chair and look up at the ceiling.
"I've been thinking about checking out this Earth now that I basically got the A-Okay from Beerus."
As you throw yourself forward you land with a loud thump and lean forward with a big grin on your face.
"And besides! After doing you guys dirty like that I got some favors to pay back!"

"Oh no! Don't worry about that!
From what we heard it sounds like we would've just gotten in your way."
Krillin wastes no time to start and protest the idea but the others quickly shut him off.

"Hey no fair Krillin!
Don't speak for the rest of us!"
Yamcha in particular is very adamant about this.
"We got ourselves a prime opportunity to train and you're just gonna throw it away? Nuh-uh!"

Looks like he's really raring to go!
But there is a place and a time to punch things and this is neither.
First off you'll need a suitable location.

"Hey Bulma.
It's a shot in the dark but is there any place where we could cut loose a little?"

"Knock yourselves out.
We got several gyms and some very specialized rooms in the building.
Vegeta is quite the fitness nut."

"Yeah, I imagine.
But just out of curiosity what sort of "special" rooms do you have?
Must be pretty impressive to hold a Saiyan..."

"Well there's the Gravity Room-"

"Excusemewat?"

"Yeah after dad built one for Goku he asked me to make one for him, only it can go several hundred times normal gravity.
I didn't mean you should use it but it's easily the most reinforced room in the building."

"Okay... time out!
How much more advanced are you guys than us?!"

"Don't know.
Got nothing to compare it to.
But it's pretty much been always like this here.
My dad was a world famous scientist who invented a lot of things like capsules or hover cars. Come to think of it, many great scientists came from his generation.
Gero, Wheelo-"

"You're seriously calling Gero a great scientist?!"

"He built your wife didn't he?"

"Poooint taken..."

"And I'm no slouch myself! Saiyan tail prosthetics, lasers, the reverse engineering of saiyan armor, scouters and ships, the dragon radar!
Hell a version of me once invented a time machine!
So... I guess your universe is not like that at all."

"No.
Any one of those things would make all of our greatest minds that ever lived cream their pants.
The only two things that I've noticed we're better at aren't much. I noticed how you prefer minimalist things, like spherical buildings while we think "more is better".
So we got skyscrapers and fancy things out the ass as we try to outdo each other."

"HEY!
We got sky scrapers as well!"

"Well, yeah.
But we have more, almost commonplace really. And our cities are much bigger. Even this city feels more like a town.
The other thing is that we seem to have more erm... common sense?
Like I get the feeling that Hit could walk into a bar and nobody would bat an eye. But at home if he showed up on the streets he'd get shot for being an alien!"

"I... can't deny that.
Sometimes it feels like people are REALLY dumb.
Hell, Vegeta originally came as an alien invader. They turned an entire city into a glass floor and now nobody even knows what a Saiyan even is."

"I guess that's the trade off.
We are generally more intelligent, but when it comes to smart people you blow us out of the water."

"That's probably a good way to rationalize it."

>Speaking of Saiyans though... Do you guys know about Gokus family?
>So uh... what's it like? Living with a Saiyan I mean.
>And what are you up to nowadays? Just... sciencing?
>Okay! Enough chit-chat! Let's make a man out of you fools!

I can't resist this potential hook.

>>4110006
he probably spent more time sleeping in an attack pod traveling then he did training and fighting and he was still 3 times stronger than goku

Name dropping Radish and Bardock it is with just a hint of casual talk with Bulma
>writing

"Speaking of Saiyans... do you guys know Gokus family?"

"I mean duh.
He lives with Chichi, he has two kids, all of whom are close friends-"

"KRILLIN!"

*ahem*
"I meant his parent."

"Oh Grampa Gohan?
Never met the guy but Master Roshi could tell you a whole lot about him.
Apparently he was a pretty big deal back in the day. Now he's chilling with King Kai and Fortuneteller Baba."
Krillin continues and this time you actually slap yourself in the face.

"Okay... I'll rephrase AGAIN!
The ones that have tails!"

"Oh Raditz!"

"Finally!
Can you tell me more about him?"

"Yeah he was kind of a bastard.
Just showed up out of nowhere one day saying: "Hurr durr I'm your brother also I'm an alien!"
And after Goku refused to join him and his cronies he kidnapped Gohan.
It took Piccolo teaming up with Goku to take him down, two of the strongest people around at the time... And Goku still died!"

That about checks out.
"And what about Gokus biological parents?
Anything you can tell me about them?"

"Apparently they died when Frieza took out Planet Vegeta."
Tien answers your question.
"But if their son is anything to go by then they must've been some "proper saiyans".
So not much has been lost."

"They still produced Goku... and don't be so sure about that."
That gets a few curious humms out of the group.
"Y'see... I kinda omitted how we kinda sorta met those two down in Hell."
Both Tien and Krillin let out a very, very sharp HA.
"And while I agree about Raditz being a little shit Gokus dad actually didn't seem that bad."

"Hoooleee shit...
You're serious?"

"Deadly.
Guys name's Bardock.
And while he WAS in Hell and all things considered, he probably deserved to be there as well... but-"
You take your time to properly phrase that.
"It looks like he's very accepting of his situation. He understands that he did bad and now he's receiving his just punishment.
Unlike Raditz, who's trying to escape, he seems content just being there and taking it.
He was surprisingly helpful too for a guy in hell."

The guys seem concerned at the very least, but the one most shocked by this piece of information is Bulma.
"Y-You sure he's Gokus father?"

"Raditz called him dad."
You shrug.
"And if that's not enough he looks like a carbon copy of Goku. I'm not even exaggerating. Like a clone.
Only... less friendly and more menacing. Covered in scars like some sort of a war veteran."

>>4110082
>"And if that's not enough he looks like a carbon copy of Goku. I'm not even exaggerating. Like a clone. Only... less friendly and more menacing. Covered in scars like some sort of a war veteran."

I mean, there WAS that one weirdo with the stupid world-eating tree...

>>4110093
Don't forget Black.
Or Goten.

She takes a deep breath and looks at Krillin and the others, but mostly Krillin.
"I don't think he should know about that.
Do we agree?"

"Yeah.
No objections here."

"Are you guys for real?
Gokus dad is in Hell!
I get that you wouldn't want to resurrect the guy but at least he deserves to KNOW!"

"Dude..."
Krillin puts a hand on your shoulder.
"Goku had a brother, a brother that tried to kill him, kill his son and kill us! That's before and AFTER Goku tried to forgive him. He doesn't need to know he has a dad in hell...
Especially after what happened to his other one-"

"W-what do you mean?"

"You see...
Grampa Gohan, the man who raised Goku died when a giant monster attacked him.
That giant monster was-"

The image of a monkey flashes in your mind.
"Goku."

"Yeap.
We tried to keep it from him but he did eventually find out.
As a kid he accidentally killed his grampa. Luckily by that time he was an adult but it still hurt him.
Trust me, he doesn't need baggage like that. Especially now that he has a family to worry about."

"Oh please!
Like Son gives that much attention to his family!
But... it's true that it is a touchy subject."

"Okay okay! Got the message!
No bringing up dead pappys"
Yet.
"So how about we change the subject? Bulma... what do you... you know, do?
Just sciencing all day? Or do you live off of your patents?"

"A bit of both.
But nowadays I'm focusing more on being a mother. Tinkering is now something I do just as a hobby.
And even then I'm mostly just making toys."

"For your kids?"

"Erm... sure.
That and I'm trying to break into the gaming market. But I do make sure my kids get them of course!"

"What?
Your monopoly is not big enough?"

"Now listen here mister! I've earned the greatest awards the scientific community has multiple times! I invented things that changed how people live their lives!
But once you reach the top there's nowhere to go but down.
So I've been trying my hand at different things... to feel the rush! And making toys seemed like the best course of action.
Free toys for the kids, I make kids happy and I can occupy myself when I'm not busy caring for Bulla.
Luckily Vegeta and even Trunks seem to really like the baby so I got a lot more free time now!
Oh... but speaking of toys! I got to show you something!"
She starts rummaging through a metal box containing various capsules until she finally finds the one she was looking for.
"Aha! Behold!"

She tosses the little thing out and with a puff of smoke it explodes into... a figure.
At first you can't really make out what it is but when you do, you're at a loss for words.
"What is this?"

"I call them Hero Capsules!
Each one has a collectible fighter in it you can use to battle others in an interactive video game!"

"I-Is this... me?"

"W-Well I needed more variety in the figures and you seemed like a perfect choice!
Well? what do you say?"

However you'll have to forgive me for not responding sooner

"Huh... neat!"

"You like it?"

"Yeah! I think it's a good idea.
And you say these are for some sort of a game?"

"Well yes, but it's not too fleshed out yet.
However if you're not interested in that you could just collect and trade them or use them as decoration."
She then reaches forward and helps you flip the thing around.
"See here? There is a button you can press."
As soon as you touch the thing it begins to holo project some text and some numbers.
"Each one has a small chip in it that keeps track of the figures stats. You can upgrade them with points you earn while playing.
And if you fulfill some criteria you can turn in the figure for an upgraded one."

You stare at it and only BARELY manage to keep your jaw in place.
"This is so fucking unfair!
I normal hate shitty gacha games but this one looks so cool! Mostly because it's not just a jpeg."

"I'm glad you like it.
You use up to six figures at once and use the individual stats and abilities of the figures to do battle.
I modeled yours to be a fast, hard hitting one that can't take many hits. With a bonus that it gets when fighting enemies stronger than itself."

"C-Can I keep it?"

"Sure! I got like a ton more ready to be capsuled!
I just wanted to know if it's okay with you if I used your likeness-"

"Oh I wouldn't worry about me!
It's our Supreme Kai you should be worried about.
He made this animated cartoon about me and he MIGHT try to sue you since he owns my public image."

"Oh I'm not afraid of some lousy Kai!
But uuuh.. what sort of a cartoon are you talking about?"

"It's about my alter-ego The Slayer.
The show is about my adventures in the Makai when I was slaying demons.
Remember that mask I showed you? I used that to mask my identity. Put it around my face like that.
And that's basically how the Slayer looks."

"Oh that's perfect! I was looking for something like that!
Because I couldn't think of an evolved form for your figure and as you can see this is a bit outdated!
I gotta write this down!"

>>4110122
Support!

>>4110156
Support combo! See if we can’t get an early exclusive for our biggest fan.

>>4110216
Is the figure from before we got swole?
if so, holy shit that's a collector's item.

>>4110224
Yeah that form only lasted like a month or two at most

>>4110224

But as Bulma begins to frantically take notes while bombarding you with questions regarding the details of said show, a pair of new figures enter the room catching her off guard and snapping her out of her zeal.
"Trunks! I thought I told you to watch your sister!"

"We were.
She was still sleeping while we were playing in her room.
But Papa came home from training, said he wanted to watch over her instead."

*phew*
"I still have to get used to that."

"Vegeta not the most ideal parent?"

"Well... you could say that.
But he has his charm. After he went through his "I wanna be a Super Saiyan" phase and the mess with the androids concluded, he did stay and raised Trunks with me.
And now he's practically infatuated with Bulla.
Speaking of which-"

She pauses as the two boys finally get close enough to say hi.
You then notice the boy standing next to the purple haired little lad and you almost drop the toy figurine in your hand.
It's Goku. Another fucking Goku. But this time he's chibi. But before you could stare at him for too long Bulmas kid notices you.

"Hmmmmm? Who are you?
I've never seen you bef-"
*GASP*
"Where did you get that? I've never seen that one before!"
He points at your toy.

"Oh? You don't see the resemblance?"
Raising the thing up to your face, you grin.
"I'm Eric. And you must be Trunks. Nice to meet you."

"Duuuude! Mom made a figure out of you?
Hmmmmmm.... you don't look too strong."

"Hahaha! Looks can be deceiving!"
Looking over at the little guy you greet him as well.
"Oh hello there! Say... you look a lot like someone I know.
Is your dad Goku?"

"I'm... Goten."

"Hey there Goten.
And yes, yes he is.
Say Mister. Are you the guy who beat up my brother?"

>Yes
>No
>Other?

>>4110250
>Yes

>>4110250
>Yes
Ok let's not show Goten the eyes of the thing that turned his mom into an egg and stepped on her.

>Yes, but he earned it for half assing his training. If he had actually put his all into his training then I wouldn't have needed to beat him up.

"Yes. Yes I did."

"Oh cool!"

"Whoa. You really beat Gotens brother?
But he's like super strong and... well you're not."

"Hehe! Well kids, it's not about who's stronger.
Sure, he was bigger and meaner than me. Wasn't enough for me to loose!
Because it's this that matters!"
You start tapping your head.

"Headbutts?"

"No Goten, he means smarts."

"Oh... I-I knew that!"

"Well... I know how hard it is to imagine stuff.
So how about I show it to you instead?"
Standing up from your chair you look at the others.
"Well fellas? I did promise you a training session, didn't I?
How about we combine business with pleasure and give these two a good show while we're at it?"

"Heh.
You had me at training."

"Yeah! Me too!"
Tien and Yamcha jump at the opportunity and so does Krillin, just so he doesn't get left out.

"H-Hey! Wait for me!"

*sigh*
"I'll open the gravity room.
Just try not to wreck it. Vegeta may not use it much but Trunks likes playing in it-"

Bulma takes you to the chamber where you and the three other humans enter and start assuming your positions.
Once the doors close you walk away from the three guys and start stretching while sharing some words of wisdom with them.
"Okay. We're gonna keep it simple.
All of you against all of me. No gravity manipulation, no handicaps, no nothing.
So if you have any weighted clothing or other such nonsense please take it off now."

"Sorry pal but we're not using anything like that.
So we're as ready as we can get!"

"Yeah.
I've been itching for this for a while now.
Can we start yet?"

"Can we not?"

Without letting the baldie finish you kick off and start by punching him in the gut hard enough to throw him against the reinforced wall of the room and make him bounce off of it.
The others quickly realize that you're serious about this and ready themselves just in time for when it's their turn on the chopping block.
But even with such an advantage they have very little chance of actually mounting a resistance against your ruthless onslaught.

Yamcha begins circling around you, looking for an opening like a wild beast hunting for prey while Tien opts for a more straightforward approach.
Tossing off his robes he grows an extra pair of hands from his back in the hopes that they'd offer him some added defense.
You smirk at the very notion.
Lowering your posture as if you're preparing to lunge at Tien, you lure Yamcha into a trap and quickly turn around when he gets within striking distance.
Driving your palm into the underside of his jaw you manage to flip him over and make him hit the ground with the back of his head.

"DAMN IT!"
Tien yells as he points his four index fingers at you.
He charges up a decent amount of energy in his fingertips and fires them off all at once.
"NEO DODON BARRAGE!"

He fires off several energy blasts in quick succession, each one packing quite a punch. But you've seen a trick like that before.
You could open up a portal and send them all back but... that wouldn't prove your point.
So you instead start swatting the beams away like buzzing flies, occasionally sending one or two back at the sender.
This goes on for a while until Tien literally exhausts and bleeds himself out and he falls to his knees.

"And that's about-"

"DESTRUCTO DISC!"
You hear the whooshing sound of a projectile being thrown at you.
When you turn around you see the buzzing circular saw like thing flying towards you at alarming speeds.
Assuming your stance you focus for a brief moment before throwing out a punch which shoots out like a bullet.
The Flash Fist Crush then neatly breaks the disc in half, causing it to loose cohesion and fall apart shortly afterwards.
"Oh nooooooooo-"

"Now... I'm almost thinking about scolding you for throwing something so dangerous out...
But has that ever killed anyone? Aside maybe the user itself?"

"N-No..."

"I thought so."
You look up from the result of your little outburst and shake your head.
"You guys are still stuck in that same old mentality. You can't outrice the Chinese! So stop trying to outswole the Saiyans!
Instead try and find your own path. Use the ONE muscle you got over the monkeys!"
Tapping your head you begin concentrating.
"LIKE SO!
RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"
As you transform Yamcha and Tien nearly choke on their own tongue as your image burns into their minds.
"There! THIS is what you're looking for!
Now... Let's get down to business!"

Hmm, I wonder if we could survive Gotenks? I suppose we could maybe put the hurt on while he was clowning around. Otherwise....eh, nah. Could maybe put up a fight against anything below SSJ3, if we pulled out all the stops.

>>4113844
If we could beat Ultimate Gohan while we were way weaker we can totally beat Gotenks now with some elbow grease. Hit's style will work just as fine on them as with everyone else and they've never seen it in action. And if we pull out Majin mode, oh boy, that's gonna spook them real good.

>>4113890
Eh... Gotenks might not hit as hard as Gohan but he's also a much more unconventional fighter
His wacky toolbox would definitely be more trouble than Jobhans
But yeah, it'd likely be a win simply with just the sheer gap in experience

So, anons, I had a decent (I think) idea. Now that we have (largely) unfettered access to our sister universe, and the alternate earth, why don't we ask Bulma to give our sweet little Genius with a capital G daughter some tutoring? Bulma's probably got like, 50 IQ points on any scientist from our earth, and honestly, I feel like we should be getting our daughter some sort of education, otherwise that insane genetically engineered Tuffle intellect is probably gonna stagnate. Also, at least being around Trunks, Gotenks and whatever Krillin's daughter's name was would give her some friends around her (mental) age. Was getting worried about her cooped up on our planet.

Bulma and the two kids outside stare intently at your display, but it is the three in there with you that are loosing their collective shits about this.

„K-Krillin-”
Yamcha mutters.
„Is this what it was like when you first saw it?”

„Y-yeah. But it looks like he got a whole lot better since!
Last time he couldn’t keep it up for long thouhg… guess that changed.”

„I still feel nothing coming from him yet I feel like I’m staring at something quite dangerous!”

„You got good senses!”
You comment on Tiens observation.
„It’s true that it doesn’t boost my power that much but it still substantially improves my fighting ability!”


>A little demonstration wouldn’t hurt…

>Start with a few exercises to prepare them. When the time comes they’ll be able to unlock it themselves

I have no clue and I had no patience left to fix them
You have no idea how many hoops I had to jump through just to post this
They started out as both pointing down, so yeah apologies for the low quality post but this is the best I could produce

Okay I'm home now
No more wrestling with the hardware at work, no more fiddling with the phone!
But before I do anything else, I feel the need to stress this: This will be quite a short session
As will be all the ones after this, except ones held on Friday or Saturday

Okay

And please roll some dice to see the results...
Or more accurately how much you manage to not body them

You think about how to best handle the issue of imparting the knowledge necessary for the transformation unto the other earthlings.
But no matter what you come up with, simple first hand experience beats all your other ideas.
Perhaps a little bit of direct exposure would be for the best!

"Okay... how about this?"
You raise your finger to make a point.
"All three of you at once against me! Fisticuffs only!"

"Are you serious?"
Tien asks, obviously skeptic about the whole idea.

"Absolutely!
Go ahead! Rush me!"

This is about all the encouragement they needed and they're already exchanging knowing looks and nods.
They form up and start walking up to you while they start taunting you a little."
"Hey dude! You may be strong but we've seen our fair share of action as well!
Fighting three of us won't be easy!"

"Try me."

As they start powering up you also raise your guard and prepare for what's coming.
However you aren't raising your energy level, nor are you preparing any fancy techniques this time.
After all, you won't even attempt to make an attack!

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

They all attack at once but quickly split up so they can attack you from different angles.
Tien takes the front with his four arms and begins wailing at you while Krillin and Yamcha attack diagonally from the back.
You swiftly raise your open palm to block his attacks one by one as your eyes track his every movement. As you are right now this is little more than a rhythm game.
Only when the other two join in on the fun do things start getting interesting.

Shifting from only using your upper body you actively start moving around, shifting your posture and turning around if and when necessary, though most of the time you simply reach over your shoulder or behind your back to block attacks.
To their credit they work like a well oiled machine, each one knowing the rhythm of the others and manage to work in a way that they only improve and not hinder the performance of their comrades.
Tien tries his best to grapple you with one or two of his spare hands, but you always slip out of his grasp with moves as fluid as a dancers.
Krillin, using his short stature tries his best to aim low and unbalance you by striking your legs but your footwork is more than sufficient of countering him, sometimes you even manage to parry and redirect his strikes with only your legs.
And Yamchas flurry of blows while fast and vicious, they don't pack much of a punch individually so swatting them away after a quick little spin on the ball of your feet is rather easy.

Beyond the thick protective glass overlooking the room the two kids and Bulma watch the ensuing fight in awe.
"Mama! Do you see that?!"

"Yes... they aren't hitting him!"

"But why isn't he hitting back?"
Asks Goten.

In the meantime the actual fighters start loosing their patience, especially Tien who rightfully feels like he's being toyed with.
"ENOUGH!"
The veins on his forehead begin bulging as he concentrates quite a lot of power in a split second and his speed jumps through the roof.
Using two of his hands he grabs hold of both of your arms and before you could slither away he raises his other two arms.
"Got you!
SOLAR FLARE!"

"TIEN NO!"
Krillin shrieks as he shuts his eyes alongside Yamcha but it's too late.
The attack goes off and you are forced to close your eyes after the blinding flash.

Yamcha, thinking that this is his opportunity goes in to capitalize on the opening but stops when he sees you jumping up and kicking back like a horse.
He catches your legs in his gut and gets sent flying for his troubles while you land back on your feet much to Tiens shock.
Though the triclopse doesn't have much time to be shocked, as you start turning and carry his body off only to smack him into Krillin.
Now the two of them are also sent crashing against the walls of the chamber as they struggle to piece together what just happened.

"He can work around the Solar Flare?
The move that always works?!"

"I TRIED TO TELL YOU!
It was one of the first things I tried in the tournament and it barely did a thing back then!"

Clapping your hands together to dust them off you smugly walk over to them.
"Told you it'd be fistfight only!
Should've listened."

"F-Fuck you!"

>Did you figure it out?
>Start giving them a lecture now
>How about another demonstration?
>Other?

>>4116267
>Did you figure it out?

>>4116267

>>4116267
>So... thoughts so far?
>Or do you want to move on straight to round two?
Honestly, I almost want to offer them one-on-one time like we gave Caulifla, Kale, and Hit before the annual Tournament of Destroyers. Not sure we know them well enough for that though.

>>4116267
>Did you figure it out?

>>4116267
>Did you figure it out?
>If not just ask for some of their general observations. (try to ask couple of questions to nudge them on a right path but not enought to outright tell them.)

>>4116267
>Other?

Ask our observers for input.

We're also doing this for Goten and Trunks' sake, so involving them will make them feel more satisfied with what's going on and might even offer the humans a new perspective.

Bulma is also no fighter, but she may also have something insightful to offer since she's a genius. She won't be able to tell them how to punch or something like that, but she'd probably recognize what's going on with Eric real quick and might offer some input on how to mimic or get around it.

>>4116300
>>4116298
These I like
>writing

>>4116284
Maybe.
Anyone else?

>>4116322
>Anyone else?
I wouldn't be opposed to it.

>>4116322

Sure. Sounds like it'd be a solid idea.

"Did you figure it out? Or are you ready for round two?"

"No..."

"No to which question?"

"Both."
Tien admits in his shame.
"At first I thought you got faster-"

"Yea! So did !"
Yamcha agrees.
"But you didn't feel any faster."

Interesting.
So they are kinda onto something but aren't certain yet. Good, you can work with this.
Looking at the glass panel separating you from the spectators, you walk up to it and knock on the window.
"Hey! Do you hear me?"

"Yeah.
What's up?"

"Do you have a loudspeaker?
I want you to share what you think."
Maybe a different perspective is exactly what they need.
"Come on kids, don't be shy! And you Bulma. Come on. I'm sure you got something to add to that."

"Well... you looked like you were reacting a whole lot quicker than before.
Maybe that is it."
Goten nervously speaks up and frankly you are utterly taken back by how he nailed it on his first guess.

"Come on Goten that's obviously not it.
Mom told me he has time powers so he obviously slows down time!"

"Actually... Goten got it right."
You tap your head.
"It's in the head-"

They're giving each other some weird looks as you say that.
It seems like they don't fully grasp what you're trying to say.

*sigh*
"I don't power up my body or my muscles.
I power up my brain!"

"And just how do you expect us to do that?"
Tien asks in a slightly angry tone.
"I don't know if you noticed but we are channeling power constantly.
If it was that easy to do then we would've found it already."

"Hold on a second-"
Bulma interjects.
"So you're saying that this form improves your cognitive functions, right?"

"Yes?"

"Do you do that by literally pumping it full of energy or not?"

"I... I actually don't know the answer to that myself.
I did it once by accident and I've just been repeating what I felt there.
I mean I can show you the ropes but actually putting it to words is kinda hard."

"It's almost like we were listening to Goku I swear..."

"Hmmmmm..."
Bulma keeps humming while lost in thought.
"Would you object to me performing a few tests on you?
I'm asking because the boys here don't like needles and Vegeta is always such a drama queen about it!
YOU CAN'T MEASURE THE PROUD SPIRIT OF THE SAIYANS! And other such nonsense.
I bet if we figured out the details we could unlock everyones power in a jiffy."

>Nah. I don't think the guys would be up for it anyway, so I'll just do it the old fashioned way.
>Yeah, sure. Knowing how it works might help me as well
>Other?

>>4116386
>>Yeah, sure. Knowing how it works might help me as well

>Better this than leaving half-assed secrets in a scroll or something

Well that turned around quite spectacularly
>writing

"Yeah, sure.
Knowing what exactly goes on in my body might help me as well.
And at least it's better than leaving behind some half-assed vague bullshit scrolls or something."

"Great! I'll go grab my stuff!"
It takes her only a few minutes to run to her lab and back with the necessary equipment and after that she promptly gets to work.
You get seated down and continue chatting with the bois while the nice scientist lady takes a blood sample from you for starters.
"I'm so glad you're not also a giant baby like all these other guys."

"Pffffft why?
Are you all afraid of needles?"
They all start whistling awkwardly. The kids you can understand but the rest?
"Dude..."

"Okay.
That will be useful for later.
Maybe I can finally study the effects of Ki on the human body properly...
Now onto the relevant stuff!"

She takes out something that looks like a magnifying glass with a whole bunch of extra sciency bits slapped onto it.
Raising it over you she turns it on while looking at it. The transparent glass turns into a one-way display.
"So uuuuuuh... what are you doing?"

"It's a mixture between a Saiyan scouter and an X-ray I've been working on.
It measures energy levels and even gives you a visual display. Sadly it's not good for combat, because it needs the target to stand inches away and stay still so Vegeta wouldn't even look at it."
She then continues observing you and gives you a few simple orders.
"Okay. Got some stable numbers. A bit lower than what I imagined but okay.
Now... please turn off the transformation."

"Right."
The glow from your hair fades and Bulma furrows her brow.

"That's strange."

"What is?"

"Can you turn it on and off again?"
You do and she gets more tense.
"How interesting. I'm taking a screenshot of this.
Can you turn it on for a few more seconds?
Okay... Now I'd like you to take a look at this."
She turns the device to face you.

>>4116407
Eh if this makes them know for what exactly they are aiming for it's all good. It was a valid complaint that even we could not easily articulate what exactly we were doing it's hard to teach if all we have is vague feeling.

Plus knowing the theory might open some options in future. If nothing else kids might love to dig through the data if we get a copy of the results.

"Tell me what you see."

"A human shaped glowstick."

"Right.
Now here's a quick scan of Krillin.
Notice the difference?"

"Yeah, his energy is leaking.
That's kinda my deal. I know you're not a fighter but I thought you're smarter than that-"
She bonks you over the head with the device.

"Let me finish!
Now... here's a picture of you when you're not transformed."

"...
...
What the?"

You stare intently at the picture and find it... disturbing.
The thing is mostly the same, your outline filled to the brim with shiny life juice... but with parts missing.
Namely, you see what looks like centipedes or the roots of a plant completely black running through your entire body.

"Are those my nerves?"

"Correct."

"What does that mean?"

"Hard to say.
But it seems that the nervous system doesn't naturally contain Ki, or conduct, or whatever.
May I ask how do you actually transform? I don't need fighter jargon, just what you do."

"Nothing!
I just raise my power to a threshold and that's it!"

"While keeping everything bottled up?"

"Yes!"

"Hmmmm.
Then I guess that answers it.
It seems that while normally there is no Ki in the nerves, by raising the internal pressure and not letting any of the energy escape it pierces whatever blocks it and then floods the nervous system.
From that point I bet it gets in your brain as well and... you know the rest."

"Hey!"
Krillin suddenly speaks up.
"Didn't you like... almost faint during the tournament?"

"More like my head almost exploded."

"Well I think you can see why now."
Bulma concludes.
"So there is really no magic to it. You guys just gotta suppress all your power and manage to power up until you are breaking the natural barrier of the body."

"That sounds painful!"

"It is.
I don't know why these limits are in place, perhaps the signals coming from the brain interfere with the bio energy that is Ki or vice versa.
But forcing the matter must not be healthy.
Listen I'm not trying to tell you to not use it but-"

"Good. Because that's out of the question."

"But-"

>Guys. Don't worry. You get used to it.
>Yeah, and building muscles requires you to break them up!

>>4116505
>I don't think we should draw conclusions without more thorough tests, the side effects might get less severe with more practice.
>Guys. Don't worry. You get used to it. Think of it like Super Saiyan 3 for now, it's a huge power boost with a strict time limit, but instead of running out of Ki your head will explode. As long as you get a good idea of how long you can maintain the form without issue you should be fine. Just pace yourselves and don't go overboard and you should see a gradual improvement of how long you can keep using it.

>>4116505
>Obviously I haven't experienced any negative side-effects after acclimating to it, but then again I don't stay transformed indefinitely.'

>Could simply be that my nervous system is accustomed to or shielded from the strain thanks my psychic abilities, so definitely take that into consideration
>This was less a "do as I do" sort of lesson and more a matter of inspiration to follow your own individual paths anyway

Okay that's a lot
Guess I'll get to
>writing

"Well for first, I don't think we should draw any conclusions without further testing.
And second, you get used to it. I don't know if it's just my psychic stuff or whatever but I doubt it.
Even if it is I believe if you take it slowly and check up with Bulma when you unlock it you can slowly develop it in a safe environment.
Besides, if my teacher said it's okay and indeed encouraged me to develop it then it can't be that bad for you. Angels notice that sort of thing."

"Quick question-"
Tien speaks up.
"Have you ever had any incidents since the Tournament?
Since that was the big one we heard about."

"No. None that I can think of, or at least nowhere near as bad.
But even if that's not enough for you, I didn't mean this as a "do as I do and no other way" kinda deal.
I just wanna help you guys the way I know how. You don't have to follow my methods to the letter, hell I'd prefer if you didn't because that'd just lead to stagnation!"

"Well forget it then!"

"H-Huh?"

"I don't know how much you've heard about us but we are warriors.
I almost killed myself with my own technique trying to hold someone off.
Yamcha got killed or mortally wounded almost every engagement, and he's almost as fed up with being irrelevant as I am.
And even Krillin is getting back his appetite for fighting whether he realizes it or not.
Make no mistake, we fully intend to use your technique to suit our needs but we'll learn it.
Because we respect its and your strength!"

"Yeah! What he said!
If I snuck into a gravity chamber once and almost killed myself with it, you think this'll stop me? Fat chance!"

"YOU DID WHAT?!"
Bulma shrieks and begins chasing after Yamcha.
"I'LL KILL YOU, YOU STUPID IDIOT! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED?!"

"Hehehe! Well I'm glad this didn't take away your enthusiasm!
Okay! Then I wish you the best of luck!"

Aaaaaand that's about it. I gotta sleep for tomorrow.
I'll try to continue on Wednesday.
See you guys soon!

>>4116594
Good session. This does raise a few questions. If there is a limiter that prevents Ki from entering the nervous system, how do fighters process speeds faster then humanly possible? Does that just grow naturally with training? What about saiyans, do they have that barrier? How does psychic energy come into play, wasn't that made most of the transformation?

>>4116881
Bulma doesn’t seem to have the tech to detect Psi, just Ki.

>>4116881
Well, I’m pretty sure it was commented on that we’re something of an exception in that we’re able to fully perceive our surroundings while moving at our top speeds. I suppose everyone else just sort of predicts paths in advance and relies and instinct and Ki sensing, or something like that. As far as our psychic powers, they were probably important? Without them our brain might not have had an outlet or the capacity to handle and utilize this new flow of Ki to our noggin, and ended up...exploding, Scanners style, or something, or at the very least having an aneurysm or the like. Probably what happened during the tournament, come to think of it. Pushed too much Ki into our nervous system, and by extension our brain, and became unable to withstand and process it all with what resistance we’d already built up, which caused us to overheat and short circuit, like a fleshy computer. No idea about Saiyans. If they didn’t have the barrier I’d think they’d be smarter though. Do we even know if they’ve got nervous systems like humans do? They’ve got skin that can deflect bullets, get stronger after near death experiences, and can turn into giant monkeys, fuck knows what their equivalent of the nervous system looks like.

>>4116973
>Well, I’m pretty sure it was commented on that we’re something of an exception in that we’re able to fully perceive our surroundings while moving at our top speeds
I had that in mind, and I'm pretty sure that was only while we were fused with Cabba. And fighters do have better perception since normal people can't follow strong ki users fighting, but strong fighters can watch stronger people fight, at least until they get too strong.

>>4116881

Well, Ki has been shown to raise perception and reaction speed, as is shown in many moments in DBZ where a villain transforms and suddenly nobody can keep track of their movements and how regular people without Ki can't see even the lowest Z-fighter fight at their full power. Not to mention that Ki also confers protection onto a person's nervous system, otherwise everyone would turn into a vegetable when they tried to move really fast due to a jello-ized nervous system.

There's also techniques like the Kaio-Ken, which explicitly raises physical parameters and perception/reaction more than regular powering up does. But it also puts much more strain on the body than regular powering up does and is only advised to be used in short bursts unless you're hax like Goku.

>>4116988
You know now that I think of it ascended is sounding more and more like ultra instinct lite, we are essentially trying to use ultra instinct without actually getting knocked out. The reason Goku didn't have his head explode is because his brain was at a very low level of activity, the Ki more or less took over his entire nervous system and gave him the insane autopilot that allowed him to win. What makes this more likely is that humans seem more naturally compatible with this technique as shown with Roshi.

>>4117032

Not quite. UI is godly reflexes and achieving a state of mind where you don't have to even think about defending because your body does it all the perceiving and autopilot defense for you.

Ascension has some similarities, but one huge difference: the user is still in full control of their actions. The conscious mind is able to perceive even the slightest of movements very quickly and then extremely quickly formulate a plan of action, including calculating just how far one's body needs to move to evade an attack and other fine movements that one needs to make to chain an attack into another or to change a move into another one on the fly.

I'd reckon Ascension as extreme bullet time, and Ultra Instinct as dodge hax.

>>4117095
That's kind of what I was pointing towards but I guess I worded it incorrectly. If you don't have that altered mental state of thoughtlessness the Ki will react with your nervous signals and explode your cranium but if it works properly the Ki will control the nervous system automatically.

>>4116881
They dob it backwards, or rather you do
They boost their sensory organs like eyes or ears on top of using mainly ki sensing
Whereas you boost the mind

>>4117032
It's more like an opposite
UI relies on an empty mind and letting the body do its own thing, proof being that until he "mastered" it Goku performed worse when he was conscious during it as opposed to when he was just barely lucid when he did it first
And Awakening or Ascension relies on absolute, near autistic level of control
But... both of them started with an overwhelming surge of power invading the body of the users

I got an announcement to make
Due to IRL happenings I'll have to push the threads back 1 day
So next session will happen on Thursday instead and following the next one after that will be on Saturday

Hey hey tomboys and femboys
I'm just here to confirm we'll be running as scheduled
It'll also be in a similar timeframe as the last one

Thanks for the update boss man

While Bulma continues to beat Yamcha over the head with a broom the rest of are busy laughing your asses off.
However as the novelty of the scene wears off Krillin turns to face you.

"Thanks again for the help!
I bet now we'll have a much easier job now that we don't have to stumble arpund in the dark."

"Don't worry about it.
I'm just glad I was able to assist.
And besides, knowing this stuff is beneficial to me as well."

Meanwhile the two kids who've been patiently observing up until now finally speak their mind.
"Yea but... why bother?"
Trunks looks at you with his arms crossed behind his head.
"Even if you guys reach Super Saiyan level you'll be nowhere near as strong as my dad or Gotens."

"I don't know Trunks.
He did beat my brother so maybe they could!"

"Pffft yeah!
And who didn't?
Gohan is super strong but I've never seen him win anything!"

"That's true I guess."
Damn. Being called a failure by the person that's supposed to look up to you.
That's gotta hurt.

"So yeah, I bet even we could beat him!"
He points at you.

>Oh yeah? Wanna prove it?

If so...

>>4121815
Fool, this is exactly what I was aiming for.
Maybe we can beat the jobber out of these kids.

You stare down at the child who looks ready to square off at any second with his arms crossed and that scowl on his face.
But as he keeps frowning his confidence slowly disappears as his infantile brain starts comprehending the situation he's in.
His chosen foe practically towering above him, exuding a pressure he hasn't felt in quite a while and has something about him that Trunks can't quite put his finger on but it's deeply troubling him.
It's understandable that he's nervous.

So when you reach down it's understandable that he instinctively curls up and starts covering his head.
His shaking only really stops out of confusion when you actually make physical contact with him.
He looks up, befuddled and unsure as to what to make of this.
"H-Huh?"

You pat his head and ruffle his hair after you gain more ground once he removes his hands.
"D'awwww! Ain't he cute?"

His confusion shifts to mild discomfort and finally to genuine baby rage.
"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

But you pay no mind to him and continue messing up his hairdo while you laugh heartily.
"HAHAHA!"
Once you had your fill you stop fiddling with him but keep patting his head as you kneel down so you're leveled with the boy.
"Okay, Imma tell you a little secret.
It's okay not being the best. Really it's not about being the strongest at all.
In a way I never really cared about that to begin with as I was always surrounded by giants that dwarfed me from the start.
No... It's all about giving it your all and doing a little better each day! Becoming a stronger you with each morning!
If you can make sure you don't slide back down once it's okay in my book!"

"What are you even talking about?"

"Eh when you get older you'll understand.
But... did you ever feel like you could be more? Like you were not adequate?"

"N-No..."

"Well, there's always an easy answer to that.
Try! And if you fail, try something else!"

"So come on, tell me!
Did you ever want to be better?
Here's the chance. I can help you, if only you tell me!"

"W-Well yeah.
I-"

"No. I don't need to hear why.
A simple yes is enough. Now tell me, in what way did you feel inferior?"

"I uh..."
You notice the boy glancing in the directions of a corridor. When you quickly shoot a glance at it, you see nothing outstanding but do feel a handful of very faint life signs coming from the vicinity.
"I wanted to be cooler, more mature!"

"Is that so?
A'ight. I might have just the thing for you.
It didn't really work out for me but it builds character and fosters discipline. Plus it might be a better fit for you.
Can you fetch a hefty piece of wood or a stick?"

"R-Right! Come on Goten!"
The two of them rush away for a while to gather a decently sized branch.
"Okay! Here you go. But what do you need it for?"

"Hold on. I'm not very good at this.
Okay, keep holding it like that!"
Stretching out your hand you begin using a bit of your mojo with Buus help.
Soon the wood begins to change shape and even gains a few additional properties, like increased weight.
Once it's done you pull back and proclaim the thing finished.
"There we go! A brand new sword."

He looks down at the transmuted wood which now has the feel and weight of iron with only barely contained disgust.
"But why?"

"Here's what you do.
Keep carrying it everywhere you go and practice with it at least an hour a day!"

"How's that gonna help?"

"You're rich are you not?
Did you never watch fencing? It's a fancy sport.
Because mastering the sword requires discipline, focus and dedication.
All of which build character. Trust me, keep up with it and it'll help you in no time!"

He seems... confused at first but it looks like he's at least ready to give it a try.
Meanwhile his friend looks jealously at the new toy Trunks just got.
"And me mister? I want to get good too!"

"That's the spirit!
Do you wanna be like your big brother?"

He looks around nervously.
"I-I think I'd prefer my dad."
Fucking ouch.

>I can't help you with that. Better ask him then
>Okay. I'll cut you a deal. I'll teach you how to get better if you do me a favor and play with my daughter
>Since Trunks got a sword let's think of a gimmick for you as well!

>Since Trunks got a sword let's think of a gimmick for you as well! (Teach KI weapon or somthing?)
>How about a staff or somthing? Do you know someone who uses one?

Basicly send the kid towards his pops. He used to use a staff when he was younger.

>>4121920
>Okay. I'll cut you a deal. I'll teach you how to get better if you do me a favor and play with my daughter

>>4121932
I support this

>>4121932
I’ll second this, actually.

He’ll probably get around to asking his dad sooner or later, we just gotta pique Goku’s interest to train him.

>>4121932
>Supporting

>>4121932
This

>>4121942
Yeah first we teach how to actually keep the weapons semi revalant in long run by coating them with ki. Then we might try to try pass on other stuff we observed from spirit warriors atleast in theory later.

>>4121956
Even if others in U7 think it wierd let's make the 2 have weapon based rivalry. Not because it's optimal or anything but because they find it fun and novel to use somthing other than fists when they spar. (might be rambling so I will stop)

>>4121961
Canonically they both end up creating a new sword school simply because they both thought swords were fucking cool.

>>4121961
>>4121967
If we got Goten into Staves and Trunks into rapier-style Swords, would Gotenks be into Spears and such?

Wow
Can't believe I didn't think of a staff for Goten
Well played
>writing

>>4121971
Probably with an option to go halberd/naginata when more cutting powers need as opposed to blunt or piercing.

>>4121971
Gotenks is going to go full Darth Maul, it'll be great.

>>4121987
>>4121975
Yo you think Bulma can make us a lightsaber?

Goten shows you the stick he got, expecting some sort of gift of his own.
And you are more than happy to oblige.

Taking it you do your thing once more but this time to a much less extent.
Since the boy is clearly a bit weaker than his slightly older friend it'd be a loosing battle trying to equalize him.
Give him a bigger, bulkier weapon to compensate for his weakness and you just bog him down in a never ending arms race against Trunks who already has the advantage.
A situation their entire universe seems to be stuck in, so let's avoid that.

The main branch looses much of the smaller ones sprouting from it and begins to straighten out.
You improve the things durability as much as possible without loosing any of its light weight, flexibility and mobility.
In the end you get a straightforward bo which should be easy enough to use for the boy.
"HAH! Look at you! I got a sword and all you got is a stick!"
But Trunks doesn't seem to agree.

"Could you give it to me for a moment Goten?"
The mini Goku gives his new toy away for a brief moment for you to try out.
"Okay, now strike the staff Trunks."

"Huh?
You want me to hit you?"

"I'd like to see you try.
That thing is still wood and has a dull edge but should still cleave right through this "stick".
Now come on!"

The boy hesitates only for a moment before attempting to strike you.
Naturally you block it with the bo easily, shocking the kid with the fact that it didn't even bend.
After swiping under his feet and knocking him on his ass you start educating him about the error of his ways.

"The weapon is irrelevant. In this case it's the one swinging it that matters."
Focusing a bit, you make the energy infused within the staff visible as it erupts from within.
"Focus your energy into it and you can turn anything into an instrument of war. That wooden sword of yours is still wood.
But channel ki into it and it will cut through steel.
However... that won't change the fact that it's a sword. Nor the one that this is a staff.
They work differently."

You then toss the thing back to Goten who seems much more satisfied with his gift than he was a moment ago.

>>4122032
I mean if you ask her and manage to pique her interest maybe?

"Okay, let me explain.
Swords are cool, I get it. But they are predictable.
It has an edge, you use that to cut things. That limits your movement and any enemy that knows what they are doing can use that to predict your next move.
A staff however has no edge. You can strike with it however you like and it'll always hurt. It's flexible."
You look to the side.
"Goten, put one end on the ground and do a vault!"

"Like this?"
He plants the staff down and easily manages to do a jump with it and even manages to do a kick while in the air.
The kid's a natural.

"Yes! That's it!
Use it to keep moving and nobody can hit you! Keep it spinning to defend, that staff can serve as a shield!
Trunks, remember you can swing multiple ways! Put your whole body behind it for a power attack, use only your wrists for quick tip cuts and parries!
And remember! Always pour your heart and soul into the weapon, not just your energy. You need to make those a part of your body and not just a tool!"

You give both of them a quick rundown on the basics of their weapons but since you don't know much about fighting with armaments it's really no more than a primer.
They quickly take up on the lessons however, having apparent natural affinity with their weapons.
This however displeases a certain someone.

"HEY! What are you thinking giving a weapon to Trunks?
Or Goten for that matter?!"
Bulma roars at you.
"They are just children!"

"Children with the blood of a warrior race and a lot of talent.
You're a smart woman Bulma so I'll ask you. Which is better? That they can defend themselves or that they have to rely on the protection of others?"
Bulma grits her teeth when faced with logic and reason but she still doesn't like it.
"Okay okay! I get it. Listen, let them keep the toys and-"

"TOYS?!"

"Yes, toys.
And I'll stop actively encouraging them. Okay?
Hell, I'll give you one better! I'll bring Lyn over so they can just... be kids.
That's better, right?"

"Y-Yeah I suppose.
Honestly I'd rather have them safe than do... whatever Chichi did to Gohan.
As long as they won't be fight obsessed maniacs like their fathers!"

"That's the idea."

With the matter settled, you don't really have anything immediately important to deal with.
So you're left wandering: What now?

>Hey Bulma... Would you be interested in genuine Tuffle tech?
>Go back to the kids and have some harmless fun
>Check on the dudes, they are kinda the reason you came back anyway
>Let's see what else this universe has in store...
>That's enough for now. Time to go home
>Other?

Wonder if they might get old man Roshi in on this. He’s pretty wise and extremely experienced, so he might be able to bridge the gap between their enlightenment and the science/instinct explanations that they got from Bulma and Eric.

>>4122085
So we've created a future with a weapons master Gotenks, who undoubtedly will do some utterly goofy things with them.

I'm okay with this.

>>4122085
>Check on the dudes, they are kinda the reason you came back anyway

Alright, anything you'd like to talk with the 'umies?

>>4122116
Measure their progress, maybe ask them if there’s someone else who might be able to piece together what Bulma and Eric said to a more martial-artist friendly way.

Maybe ask about Big Green too? He’s not a ‘umie, but all of this advice could probably help him out too.

Also maybe joke option: ask about who this Satan guy is and scope him out for legit martial arts tricks. He might not have any Ki control but he could have some solid unconventional ideas that Eric could put into his bag of tricks.

Hmmmm not much in terms of ideas.
A'ight I'll work with what I got

As Bulma moves over to scold/oversee her son who's currently busy "running with scissors", you move over to the other humans who've been entertaining themselves by watching you mess with the kids, as well as just talking amongst themselves.
They see you approach and promptly stop whatever they were doing.

"Nice going dude.
Not many people I know who'd give swords to kids!"

"Got a problem with that Yamcha?"

"No, not at all!
Reminds me of my bandit days.
Heh! Maybe I'll show Trunks a few tricks in my spare time!"

"Oh please.
If you start educating him the kid will die to a Saibamen I'm sure of it!"

"KRILLIN! The fuck?"

"Hmmmm... so Saibamen are commonplace here?
I heard they are quarantined on a single planet in my universe."

"Oh no they aren't.
But you see Yamcha-"
The scar faced bandit then starts practically strangling Krillin and not in a joking way either.
While they are busy murdering each other Tien steps up and takes over the conversation.

"Actually we've been thinking about heading to Master Roshis place.
Pool what we've learned together and maybe decipher it somewhat.
Would you like to come?"

"Sure.
Kinda wanted to do so to be honest.
Since I made that deal with him for the technique."

"Really? It was a trade?
What did he teach you?"

"The Kamehameha."

"I think you got ripped off..."

"Nah, I made good use of it.
But before we go, isn't there that guy who has a whole city named after him?
Satan I believe? Is that name for real?"

They pause for a moment, even Yamcha and Krillin stop beating each other up to look at you.
And before long they erupt in a roaring laughter.
You stand there, dumbfounded as to what's so funny.

"Yeah! Good luck with that!
Talking martial arts with Mr Satan! Hehe!"

"Yea! Dude's a joke basically!
Not only does he not have any knowledge of ki but he also used to be a vehement denier of its existence."

"His only real accomplishment is winning the World Martial Arts Tournament that one time.
Everything else, pure theatrics."

You grab your chin and begin humming.
"Doesn't that mean that he's at least the strongest normal human?
Or at least that he used to be? That's honestly kinda impressive."

"Don't over-sell him.
Satan entered at a time when all of us were busy."

"I 'unno.
He did pull a truck once.
So for all his showmanship he did have some impressive feats for a normal person.
It's just that his highest wasn't exactly that high anyway and he's fallen a lot since."

"Yea.
He grew old and fast.
Nowadays all of his big money matches are fixed.
He has Majin Buu beat up the competition then he looses to Satan on purpose."

That's a shame.
Still, if he legitimately managed to win a no holds barred World Tournament legitimately then he must've been a badass at one point.
But if he's washed up now then it really matters not how good he was, he's no use to you now.
That talk about Buu though... Hmmmmm. That on the other hand might be worth investigating in the future.

However meeting up with the old master seems more important right now.
Gotta pay your respects and say hi to the guy after that little deal you made.
"Okay then! Let's visit Roshi!"

"Allright!"
Krillin practically jumps up in happiness.
"Kame House here we come! Oh it's always great to return to our home away from home.
You'll love it there! It's got a-"
He pauses.
"You know I think I'll leave that as a surprise!
Okay guys! Let's go!"

There's only one gender based holiday I acknowledge.

You fly over about half the world and get to see its bizarre yet beautiful sights.
The entire place is like it's out of a fairy tail rather than a fitting counterpart to your own planet.
With its great and pillar like mountains, the pristine lakes, rivers and oceans it all seems so surreal.
That's not counting all the various creatures that ARE ripped straight out of fantasy books. Dragon, dinosaurs and monsters of many shapes inhabit the place.

"It's so bullshit..."
You murmur to yourself.

"What's that?"
Krillin asks.

"I said it's such a shame I wasn't born here.
The place is majestic."

"But dangerous.
Not counting the monsters we still get in plenty of trouble thanks to some tyrannical alien invading us or because a mad scientist lost his medicine one day..."
Tien responds. He sounds sick of all that bullshit.
But who could blame him?

After a few more minutes you leave the mainland, fly over a few smaller islands and a handful of archipelagos you finally leave solid ground and see only the nearly endless ocean wherever you look.
"Are we there yet?"

"Not quite.
But soon. Trust me, you'll know the place when you see it."

And boy, did you.
On an isolated island just barely big enough to support it you spot a pink building with the words "KAME HOUSE" written in all caps over the entrance.
"That's uh.... that's quite something..."

"Yeah it's weird but you'll get used to it!"

"Thanks Yamcha but that's not what I meant.
I'm just envious of the balls on Master Roshi for knowingly and willingly living in such a flamboyant house."

One by one you all land down on the small island and the boys approach the front door.
On the way however they stop by a rather non-plussed animal and they all greet it.
"Hey Turtle!"

"Hi Turtle!"

"Turtle..."

You stop and look at the animal that stares back at you in turn.
Standing there for a few moments, you could swear you see the things mouth open as if it was speaking.
"What are you looking at?"

You blink a few times and shake your head.

"Hi."

"Hey yourself.
Master Roshi's inside."

"Thanks."
You walk past the talking fucking turtle and just accept the fact that not only talking animal people but straight up talking animals also exist.
"Frigginmagicalbullshit-"

Following after the guys you see them shouting at the inhabitant of the door while you give the place a quick scan.
There's definitely something wrong going on here. You feel trace amounts of energy that don't belong either to the turtle or the old master and you're pretty sure you can see footprints in the sand that the waves haven't quite washed away yet.
Footprints that are, once again, too big to belong to the old man.
"Hmmmmmm..."

"MASTER ROSHI! WE'RE HERE!"
Out of the bug-screened comes good ol' Master Roshi, sporting an orange Hawaiian shirt and his old sunglasses. But this time he's also wearing what looks like a purple turtle shell.

"Oh hey there fellas!"
The surfer looking old man pretends like he didn't actually feel you coming from a mile away.
And he keeps up that act even for you.
"Ah and Eric! What a pleasant surprise.
I didn't realize it was Universe hopping season already."

You chuckle a little.
"Nah it's still too early for that.
I was just in the neighborhood and decided to say hi."

"Well that's good, that's very good.
And I see Tien and Yamcha met you already. Good! Saves me the trouble."
He then looks over to the folks in question and slightly lowers his glasses to stare at them.
"Now I hope ya bastards didn't embarrass me after I went through the trouble of sharing this young mans knowledge with you..."

The guys are laughing nervously while you just wave the whole thing away.
"It's fine. I see them making steady progress and that's enough.
I get that it must not be easy for them to learn my ways."

"Well as long as yer not angry with me I'm fine with it."

"Why would I?
I shared that because you wanted to help them.
That was kinda the point."

"True.
And how 'bout the Kamehameha?
I sure hope you made good use of it."

>Sure did.

>As a straight up beam it was averige I felt but it was easily scalable in power and density.

Huh.

Makes me wonder if there's another threat sneaking around the Earth setting stuff up while the Saiyans are busy training or doing mundane shit to notice. Maybe something like the World's Strongest movie?

>>4125734
It's Gohan.

"Sure did!
Though I've done some... tweaking. Allow me to demonstrate!
Kaaaaa-meeee-haaa-meee-"
Your body begins to burn with raw energy as you chant and as you complete the name of the technique, the unleashed power takes the shape of wispy strands coiling around your body, leaving it only briefly before returning to it.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Your corona of blue energy now shines brightly before the others all of whom, with the exception of Roshi stare in awe at this display of power.
"W-w-w-what is that?"

"I didn't really like the beam.
It was too... soft, too unfocused. Sure, you could boost it to great destructive potential but at what cost?
Pumping more and more energy into it? No. The best quality of it is how flexible it is.
So I changed it here and there. Turned it into a permanent loop around my own body and focused it to extreme density.
I can still shoot it out of course, but this way I can get so much more mileage out of it."

"I'm impressed young man."
Roshi finally speaks up and steps forward, shocking his fellow martial artists.
"I don't think I've seen my technique being used in such a drastically different way. I'm glad you grasped the finer details of it.
Yes, I definitely made it to be as flexible as possible. But you made a mistake in your analysis.
It wasn't dense on purpose."

"What?"

"Naturally I could've focused it, honed it and condensed it further.
The original Kamehameha wave was not meant for killing but rather as a long range, blunt force attack. Like a remote punch, in keeping with the teachings of my master.
Sure, it was left unfinished but the point of that was so that it could be adapted to many situations, like blowing out a raging fire.
There is in fact one example of a beam attack that is superior to it: The Dodon Ray."
You shoot a glance at Tien, which Roshi notices.
"Yes, it was the invention of Tiens master and my former rival, Master Shen."

"Which came first?"

"Mine, of course.
When I gloated with my invention Shen, driven by rage and jealousy made his own beam in response.
You see... we always disagreed on a fundamental level. He called me a fool and a weakling, calling me sloppy.
The Dodon was his revenge and in a way succeeded. It's faster to charge, stronger, uses substantially less energy and it both pierces and burns the target. A very lethal move."

"But it missed the point..."

"Ah, I see you're an old soul. Yes.
I too could've made the Kamehameha do all those things. If I intended it to kill my foes and not defeat them.
What Shen perceived as weakness, was in fact my humility and honor as a martial artist."

>>4125758
>like blowing out a raging fire.

Nnnnot sure that's the example I'd want to use Roshi, but okay I guess.

>>4125776
But it did clear the fire, didn't it?

>>4125778
And the mountain along with the reasion why he did it in the first place.

>>4125776
>>4125778
Luckily for Roshi, almost none of the present group was there to witness the actual "extinguishing" of the fire, so they can't exactly gainsay him about that part.

"While I'm certainly impressed by your achievements young man and even more so by your meteoric rise to power...
I mean look at those guns! Last time you looked like a string bean and now you're putting Tiens massive shoulders to shame! I bet the babes are just flocking after you heeeheeeheee!"
The old dude walks up to you and starts slapping your biceps with his staff.
*ahem*
"But I sure hope that during your pursuit of power you don't loose sight of the deeper meanings behind martial arts.
Like so many tend to do..."

You aren't sure what he's actually referring to.
Judging by the context of the conversation it should be Shen, right?
But it's also suspiciously sounding like he means Tien, Yamcha, Krillin and the others.
