Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:

After using Instant Transmission to teleport into one of the fortresses of Ealen IV, Karn quickly dispatched a group of Sangheili before teleporting into a trap. But the Stand Nicotine Bomb and the half-dozen worm monsters weren’t able to stop him, Karn dispatching them and the entire base before learning the Covenant had set yet another trap. Between this planet and the Lucrehulk, a Covenant fleet was hiding out and ambushed the injured Saiyans fleeing the battle, killing all four. Frenzied, Karn demolished the other five bases, then returned to his other soldiers and telling them the somber news. But vengeance was served, Lord Freeza himself left the Lucrehulk and attacked the fleet, destroying it completely before flying to Ealen IV himself to give the all clear. After a brief celebration everyone returned to their pods, flying back to the ship with Freeza himself flying vanguard.

The return trip itself is uneventful, those with moderate injuries heading off to the medics while the others either go to eat, train, socialize or sleep. Which you leave them all to it, flying from the Lucrehulk’s left arm to the central core where your quarters are. And sure enough, as soon as you come into the room, Meloka is there waiting for you.

“Hey hun, how-?” she begins, stopping when she meets your eyes. Her expression shifts, wordlessly floating up off the lounge chair and giving you a surprisingly tight hug. Then, her mouth beside your ear she whispers. “What happened?”
“We...Lost a few today.” you reply, Meloka pulling back and looking you in the eyes, concerned. “It wasn’t in battle. They were injured, so they were put back in their pods and sent back here. Except, they never made it. A Covenant fleet was somehow waiting, and intercepted them. They never stood a chance.”
“Those bastards!” your wife fumes, clenching her fists and slightly trembling from rage. “Who?”
“Morka, Michi, Espina, and Gamja.” you tell her sadly. With the enemy killed, and no one to turn your rage on, you’re just swamped with sadness. They weren’t your best students, or the most outstanding or even troublemakers. But each one of them put their trust in you, and for that they paid the ultimate price. You’ve lost people in battle before, but death hasn’t hit this close to you, and really stuck, since you were a kid living in the village.

How do you cope with this?

“I just...Just need some time with this.” Meloka says, you nodding to your wife as you both seperate. She was just as attached to those students as you were, and no doubt needs to work some anger off. And as she leaves the room, heading off upstairs towards your bedroom, no doubt she’s going to handle this her own way. So you do the same, going over to one of the many seats and sitting down, crossing your legs. Resting the backs of your hands on your knees, you close your eyes and take a deep breath. Relaxing your body as Raven’d taught you, you clear your head and reach out telepathically to someone who will understand.

“Hey, old man. You awake?” you ask, thinking to your father. And unsurprisingly he’s awake, answering immediately.
“Karn? What’s going on?” he asks, sensing your concern. “Everything alright?”
“No. No, it’s not.” you reply to him, heart heavy. “We’ve...Had some casualties. Since heading out, Meloka and I’ve been teaching several other Saiyans. But, despite my best efforts, we had casualties. Four of them were injured, and sent off the planet we were invading back to the Lucrehulk. But they were intercepted, the Covenant somehow moved a fleet between us and the ship. And as my students left my sensing range they were attacked, slaughtered before they even knew what was happening. And if it wasn’t for Freeza, we would’ve suffered even more casualties. I... I couldn’t protect them. They trusted me, and yet-“

“They didn’t join you for your protection.” Tatsu says, interrupting you. “These students of yours. They didn’t train with you day after day for you to treat them like your children. They don’t want your protection, Karn. They want your recognition. Your students have doubtlessly worked hard, pushing themselves past their limits so you would acknowledge their strength, and treat them not as weaklings, but as peers. They want to fight alongside you, not only behind you.”
“I...Never even considered that.” you admit, rather sheepishly. “I was so wrapped up in thinking I had to protect everyone, I never even considered what they thought.”
“At least now you’ve acknowledged your mistake.” Tatsu replies, you feeling his confidence in you radiating through the telepathic link. “And now, you can do better, be better. Now, the next time you call, you’d better have their leader’s head, got it?”
“I will!” you reply, your shattered confidence rebuilding itself as your will hardens for what will come next. “We should be getting close now.”
“I know you’ll win this, for all of us.” he says. “Ruco’s proud of you boy. Never forget that.”
“Wait, huh?” you ask, confused by Tatsu suddenly dropping your mother’s name. But before you can say anything else he ends the link, seperating his mind from yours. The hell?

Shaking your head, you stand back up and eat a quick bite before heading upstairs to yours and Meloka’s room. You knock before opening the door, hundreds if not thousands of tiny energy balls flying every which way around the room. In the middle of this storm sits Meloka, your wife controlling all this energy seemingly with ease. But as you come in she calls it all back, the energy coalescing into a single, incredibly-dense sphere before she reabsorbs it back into her hands. You walk over, picking your wife up and carrying her to bed as you explain your conversation with Tatsu and his advice. Which Meloka considers carefully, the two of you getting in bed and sleeping on it. Your rest is deep and peaceful. That is, until in the middle of the night you suddenly find yourself awake.

One moment you’re fast asleep, the next your eyes are wide open, staring into the faint glow of the lights barely illuminating the room. Meloka’s still here in your arms, still sleeping peacefully and snoring ever so slightly. But why are you awake? Why now?

Well? What do you do?

“Meloka, get up hun.” you whisper, shaking her gently. “Something’s wrong.”
“Mrrrhrrmmm?” she mumbles, rolling over towards you but not opening her eyes.
“Meloka.” you say, voice serious and even. At this her eyes snap open, your wife looking right at you.
“What’s wrong?” she asks you telepathically, eyes wide open now. She hasn’t moved again, but you can feel the tension in her body.
“I don’t know.” you reply while extending your ki senses. “But something’s wrong. I was sound asleep, but just suddenly woke up.”
“Is it just me, or is it cold in here?” she asks aloud, pulling the sheets up over herself alittle more. And as she says this you realize she’s not wrong, in fact blowing a small cloud on your exhale. “The hell?”

“Karn, look.” Meloka says, gesturing to the clothes you both left on the floor from the day before. And to your surprise, they’re actually covered in ice. In fact, everything in the room besides your bed, you, and Meloka is frozen solid! The walls, floor, and ceiling are all covered in a thin sheet of ice, but what’s really concerning is the door to your room is open. Frozen halfway open, a chill runs up your spine not related to the cold. Something, or someone, was probably here in your room. Or even worse, they could still be here.
“Shhh!” you tell her telepathically, straining your ki sense to try and find whoever’s responsible. Meanwhile Meloka quietly creates a softly-humming ball of ki, raising it overhead before it splits into a dozen smaller, fist-sized balls which all begin orbiting her head. Meanwhile you don’t sense anyone out of the ordinary, no unfamiliar ki giving you a target.

So what do you do?

Let's get out of bed too and transform at least into Legendary Super Saiyan to get some light from the emerald aura (lights might not work fully properly now). And not stay in bed any longer. I think Karn needs to move, otherwise we might not notice that we are already being frozen to the bed.

“Keep an eye out for me?” you ask, Meloka nodding as you shift your focus. Reaching out telepathically, you get ahold of the one person who may be able to help you figure this out. Arctus. “Hey, you awake?”
“Huuuuh? Ooooh, Karrrn!” he replies, and from how his thoughts are coming through, there’s no doubt he’s already pretty slammed. “H-Hey, wanna come down an- And get drunk? I got the good shit!”
“Maybd later.” you tell him telepathically. “Right now we got a problem. Can you check something in the system for me?”
“Sure, sure. Jusss gimme a minute.” he replies. “Whattam I lookin’ for?”
“Me and Meloka’s room is entirely covered in ice.” you tell him seriously. “Something’s wrong.”

“Shit.” he replies, his jovial drunk nature disappearing almost immediately. He remains quiet for a minute or two, then when he returns it’s not with good news. “No hull leaks, the atmosphere system seems to also be working as designed. Yet your entire suite seems to also be frozen, I’m reading sub-zero temperatures from the hallway outside through that entire area of the ship. Whatever’s causing this seems to be localized right around there, as the coldest temperatures are reading from the lobby below your room. Whatever’s causing this phenomenon is probably down there. Waiting for you.”

“I was afraid of that.” you reply. “Lock down my area immediately, I’ll handle this.”
“Good luck.” he replies, ending the communication. As he does you turn to Meloka, quickly thinking to her what Arctus had found out.
“So whoever’s responsible for this is right downstairs.” she replies telepathically, standing up in the bed. “Let’s get down there and end them!”
“Right.” you nod to her, preparing to step onto the ground when you hesitate, instincts giving you a warning so you shout to her. “Stop!”

Meloka immediately freezes, stopping herself before touching the ground and looking over at you concerned. You aren’t sure why, but you have this distinct feeling that touching the ice would be a problem. Instead you float off the bed, carefully not touching the ground as you drift towards the frozen, partially-opened door. Using your telekinesis you grab ahold of the door, forcing it fully open to allow you through without touching it. Despite trying to move silently, there is the noticeable shatter of ice as you break the frozen seal. Glancing back to Meloka, your wife nods to you once. Whatever’s down there, you’ll have to take it head-on.

Gliding silently down the staircase, Meloka hot on your heels, you descend down to the main floor. And sure enough, as you go down the stairs, the air temperature continues to drop. As you reach the main floor, it feels as if ice is actually starting to form on your body. But you press on, turning the corner and are ready for anything. But, what you’re not ready for is nothing. Despite everything in the room being covered in a layer of slightly-luminous ice, everything appears exactly the same as you’d left it. Nothing is out of place, the only thing that draws your eye is the other doors are all also frozen partially open.

“Can you sense anything?” you ask Meloka telepathically. “I can’t sense anything.”
“Me neither.” she replies, you feeling her worry through the link. “This isn’t good.”
“No, it’s not.” you reply, drifting closer to the center of the room. “Watch my back hun.”
“Always.” she replies, you hovering in the room’s center. Looking around, nothing immediately leaps out at you. But you can’t shake the feeling that you’re in danger.

“Divine Dragon Force.” you say, your crimson dragon materializing wrapped around your right arm. “We’re in trouble.”
“I see.” your Stand replies, looking around at everything covered in ice. “This Stand is clearly powerful.”
“So it is the work of a Stand then.” you say, looking around. “I wasn’t sure.”
“It is clearly the work of an enemy Stand.” Dragon Force says, and for the first time in a long time actually sounds apprehensive.
“This isn’t good. Wait, behind you!”

Turning, you see an unfamiliar form has appeared behind Meloka. Your eyes widen in surprise, and to your wife’s credit, she doesn’t even hesitate.

“HAAAAAAA!!” she roars, golden aura flaring up around her. But the enemy Stand, a mechanical humanoid-like being that looks surprisingly similar to the last one you’d fought, isn’t blown away by the sudden force of her powering up.
“Dragon Force!!” you bellow, throwing your right fist forward towards it.
“RRROOOOAAAAAAARRR!!” your Stand bellows, charging forward from you and rushing straight for the enemy Stand. It sees your Dragon Force coming, and instead of attacking Meloka leaps back into the icy wall. You watch, shocked, as it seemingly melts into the ice. Dragon Force’s fangs snap shut on where it had been standing just a moment later, Meloka looking at you wide-eyed.

“It was behind you.” you say by way of explanation. “It melted into the ice on the wall behind you.”
“Shit.” she replies, flying right over to you. And since you’re both still exposed, she flies up and latches onto your back. You feel her warmth radiating into your body, a shiver running over you. “I’ve got your back.”
“Thanks hun.” you reply, Dragon Force pulling itself back and returning to it’s usual place around your arm as you ask. “Did you see where it went?”
“I can’t see it.” Meloka says, sounding slightly annoyed at you. But as she says this, Dragon Force also speaks up.
“No, I couldn’t follow it once it went into the ice.” your Stand replies. “But it’s still here, warching us.”
“Damn.” you mutter, then to Meloka. “Keep an eye out for the user. We’ll hunt that Stand down.”

But how will you do that?

“I’ll hunt him down, cover me.” she says, eyes closing as she devotes herself fully to her ki sense. While she does this you raise your right arm, Dragon Force watching both of your backs as you both are on the lookout for the Stand. Your eyes dart back and forth, searching for any sign of the Stand among this frozen mirror of your quarters.
“Dammit.” you mutter, frustration mounting by the second as both the Stand and user avoid detection. “Where are you?”

“Here!” the Stand says, you and Dragon Force’s gazes both snapping up to it. And sure enough, hanging upside down from the ceiling is the enemy Stand’s upper body. But it doesn’t just sit there, falling right for you with a giant, razor-sharp icicle in either hand pointed right for your eyes. Without hesitation you move, reaching up and catching the frozen blades mere inches from your face.
“Karn! He’s here, in front of you!” Meloka shouts, leaping off your back and firing a Scatterbeam from each hand at the far wall. Ten holes are shot straight through it, yet as she fires you see a slight distortion in the air. He’s here! You try and bring your arms down to defend yourself, to attack the obviously cloaked Sangheili, but they don’t move! Your arms are frozen in place, the icicle spears you’d grabbed are somehow already connected to the ceiling, freezing your arms to the forearm and holding you in place.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=tNW9lmujZxU

“GAH!!” you gasp, as you take a powerful energy beam straight to the chest. It hits you square in the scar your Towa’s Mira had left, actually piercing into your chest. An instant later a second shot is fired right into where the first hit, the Sangheili’s form flickering as it’s invisibility finally wavers.
“You-! YOU BASTARD!!” Meloka roars, golden aura flaring wildly. And as you hang helplessly, gasping for air, you watch as Meloka unleashes hell. “DIE!”

Meloka fires a ki ball towards the Sangheili, it shattering and splitting into more than fifty individual attacks that all swarm through the space between you and the splitjaw. The tiny attacks quickly surround the assassin, and fires a single Death Beam from her finger. It hits the first ball and is refracted, splitting into several beams and reflecting from ball to ball. In a second Meloka’s captured the user, leaving him nowhere to run! But just as the prison begins constricting, the Stand rejoins it’s user. And before you can tell his fate, there is a sudden cloud of mist surrounding them. But that doesn’t stop Meloka, your wife’s attacks colliding and exploding in a fiery blast where the user was standing.

“Karn, are you alright?” Meloka asks you, rushing back over. Meanwhile you snarl, and with a surge of rage transform.
“RAAAAA!!” you roar, power surging as you ascend into your Berserker form. Your body’s rapid expansion shatters the ice that’d trapped you, your left hand going to your chest and clutching at the wound. “I-I’m fine. But where’s the user?”
“I lost him.” Meloka replies, furious. “Dammit!”

“Follow me!” you shout, dashing towards the now ice-free area of the room. Despite Meloka shattering the metal wall and floor, as well as part of the ceiling, it did clear this area of any ice. Which gives you a small area where the Stand itself can’t sneak up on you. Meloka follows wordlessly, again taking your back so you all can observe the room. “Lucky shot, bastard! Now come out and fight me head-on, and stop hiding like a coward!”

And of course you get no answer, the cowardly bastard not stepping forward and preferring to hide.

Well, what now?

“Meloka. I need you to get out of here.” you say seriously. “Get help.”
“Right.” she says, and a moment later her ki disappears. You don’t know who she would’ve Instant Transmissioned to, but you have a few guesses. However, you can’t think of that now, as the enemy Stand and user are doubtlessly still in here somewhere.
“Just you and me, now.” you call out to the seemingly-empty room. “Let’s get this over with. I’ve got a busy day tomorrow, I’m spending the whole day training to kill this new Arbiter your bosses picked out just for me.”

“Fool. You cannot defeat the Arbiter.” the enemy’s Stand says, rising out of the ground in the center of the room. “He is far too powerful for a weakling such as you, and has extensively studied your technique. There is no way you can win.”
“So you all have been spying on me after all, huh?” you reply, smirking. “I knew it.”
“But he won’t get the chance to battle you.” the Stand replies, still confident. “Mistral Wind shall destroy you, here and now.”
“He’s speaking through his Stand.” Dragon Force says. “It isn’t a sentient being like myself, which means the user is still controlling it.”
“So the Heretic can speak.” the enemy Stand says, backing up a foot or so. “I shall bring the masters your head.”
“Do your worst.” you reply, not immediately rushing in. Despite how certain you are in your speed, without knowing the true extent of “Mistral Wind”s powers and where exactly the user is hiding, you can’t blindly rush in. Or, can you? You then bring your voice down to less than a whisper, just loud enough for your own Stand to hear. “I have a plan.”
“Baiting the user’s attack?” Dragon Force replies in a similar fashion. “Understood.”

“Well, it you’re not coming to me, I’ll just have-“ you begin, then midway through the sentence charge. In less than a blink of an eye you’ve crossed the distance between you and the enemy’s Stand, swinging your Stand-wrapped right fist right for it’s head. Suddenly your instincts scream at you that you’re in danger, from the right! So without hesitation you throw your punch short, turning it into a counterclockwise Su Ma spinning kick. And sure enough your strike connects with something, you feeling something you hit break as the Sangheili becomes visible. Your kick takes it square in the back, launching the splitjaw across the room as his Stand vanishes. This could be your chance!

But how will you proceed?
>Rush and attack, break him before he recovers
>Death Beams, don’t risk getting close to him or possibly his Stand
>Rush in and Dragon Force, have your Stand’s power end him forever
>Use your telekinesis to grab the splitjaw’s throat, and try crushing it

“Let’s end this!” you shout to Dragon Force. “Cover me!”
“On it.” your Stand replies, keeping watch as you focus. Reaching out with your telekinesis, you grab the splitjaw by it’s throat, and lift. It looks at you with eyes wide with fear, struggling to grab at something on it’s belt. But you don’t let it go, and instead begin steadily increasing the pressure. You grip it’s throat tighter and tighter. The fear showing on it’s face, the Sangheili once more summons it’s Stand to defend it. But before it can attack you, Dragon Force lunges. Leaping out from your extended right arm, your Stand slams itself straight through it’s enemy’s middle. Before the Stand can attack Divine Dragon Force binds it, wrapping itself around the enemy and preventing it’s movement.

“This ends now.” you say, and with a final surge of intent tighten your grip on the Sangheili’s neck even further. “Die.”
“Excellent.” Bane says, his phantom appearing beside you. “Allow me to aid you. Continue choking the life out of it, and I shall allow you to drink his fear.”
“Wait, what?” you ask him, confused. “What do you mean?”
“Just keep choking the life out of this scum, and I’ll show you.” he replies, laying one hand on the back of your head and pointing his palm at the Sangheili. You keep strangling the would-be assassin, then suddenly you feel it. Overwheming terror, a crushing pain, and the feeling of not being able to take a breath are all sensations from your enemy you suddenly feel. But more than that, you feel the enemy’s fear empowering you. Almost as if it’s terrifyies emotions are a fuel for your power.

“What is this?” you ask, and since you have the Stand bound with Dragon Force the user can’t act either. “I feel my strength rising, my power surging!”
“The true ability of the ancient Sith.” he replies, smirking knowingly. “The Dark Side is fueled by emotions. And there is no greater fuel than the terrified emotions of those dying painful, gruesome deaths. With training, you can revel in the suffering of your enemies, and use it as the fuel to increase your own power. This is the true power of the Dark Side. Now, revel in his terror, and use that to end him!”

“HAAAA!!” you shout, clenching your fist. And with a final surge of intent, snap the Sangheili’s neck. You feel it’s life swiftly fade, dying mere moments after. And once it’s dead, the emotions it was experiencing before death sharpen, you feeling your own powers spiking. “Woah! That’s a rush!”
“Indeed.” Bane says. “And in time, you’ll be able to revel in the emotions of your foes. Drink in their despair, and your power will reach heights you could have never imagined.”

Hot damn, now that'll *certainly* come in handy when crushing armies!

>TFW shitting your pants gives Karn a power up
I can't wait for the truce to end, years of intense beatings will finally pay off.
>>4407152
Alrighty, see you then. It's been great so far. We are kind of running out of things to train... I hope we switch things up a bit or the Arbiter might fuck us up.

>>4407171
We just gotta do that thing we haven't been doing very much of. PUMPING THE FUCK UP

>>4407148
>>4407150
It’s certainly a powerful surge of energy, although it is temporary.
>>4407159
It’ll be next week, unless something else happens
>>4407164
It could be quite the game changer.
>>4407171
Karn would certainly become a much greater threat against those who fear.

>>4407179
>It’s certainly a powerful surge of energy, although it is temporary.
You underestimate how much terror we can inspire in the covenant.

>>4407179
>It’s certainly a powerful surge of energy, although it is temporary.
Yeah, I figured, that's why it'll be a super useful Army crusher! Grunts and other such cowards in the Covenant army will be giving us massive force multiplier when we crush them in army battles!

>>4407179
What would be the fear growth if we connected the covenant civies to a few images of karn going all out? Like an image of us gutting Trigon, some Event Horizons, really terrifying things.

So, besides overall strength training and looking for ways to better defend against stands, what else should we think about training?
I'm thinking these are good places to start
>increase sensory range
>develop our newfound Dark Side powers
>try and figure out how Ultra Instinct works
The second and the third are kinda interesting, as I feel like a strong affinity for the Dark Side would interfere somewhat with the required mental state for active usage of Ultra Instinct.

>>4407275
In the hopes of not getting side tracked, current list of things to train is beserk mastery[Iirc it's close to being mastered] IT, Ki Control, Divine Dragon Force, Base PL, and Force training. The first 3 being somewhat more important.

>>4407306
I would put Base Power Level training a bit higher on the list given what we know about the new Arbiter.
Either he's leagues above the old one in terms of raw power, or his stand is on par with Za Warudo and he's still capable fighter.
That's just what I'm getting from what the other Covenant fighters have been saying.

>>4407313
Well I'd reason it's the latter rather than the former in all honesty. Feels like they'd be hard pressed to find another being stronger than Arbiter, let alone Karn,

The reasons for the choices iirc
>IT
Insanely useful utility skill, if we can get it to the point we can do it handless in combat Stands become much less of a problem since we can bypass them for their user. Also very useful in fights were we're hopelessly outclassed but want to be of use[timepatrol/breaker stuff.] Also still have the psychic IT to look into.

>Ki Control
Something Karn sorely need a, allows use to waste less energy and get more out of our attacks. This has been a constant thing we've been needing to work on, and With it we can use more attacks more frequently in the coming battles of the war without worrying about exhaustion.

>Beserk Mastery
It's near completion, aids at least in some way down the line regarding beserking. We've been putting off for probably too long, and if I'm not mistaken it'll let us get more out of beserk at least in first form. In all honesty despite wanting to finish it off it's the first one I'd drop for base pl raising.

>>4407143
And this is why the dark side can be impressive
>>4406751
My shameful display obliged me to commit sudoku and as such i was too occupied to roll and anti-satan anon's sacrifice was not in vain in the end

Personally, I say we heavy focus Ki Control, as our greatest weakness, if we can increase it by even a decent amount it'll be a MASSIVE force multiplier.

>>4408036
I guess at this point it's the crossroads between becoming a more complete warrior or just a stronger warrior. I really can't make a confident decision on the matter until we know just how powerful the Arbiter is right now.

>>4407181
That power isn’t permanently added to yours, and you can only draw upon the intense emotions of those you can see.
>>4407202
It could be a significant boost, if trained up. But Bane doing it for you repeatedly could cause damage, or worse corruption.
>>4407227
Not especially. You could only draw on those close by, and certainly not across cities.
>>4407275
>UI
Without an angelic tutor, it’s not likely something achievable at all, much less anytime soon.
>>4407306
>>4407313
>>4407402
>IT
Useful, but does have it’s limits. Especially against those that now know you can do it.
>Control
You’ve spent a decent time training that, as you worked on your ki attacks pre-Lucrehulk. Finer control is always a plus, but you’re not likely to run dry unless you waste a whole lot of power on weaker enemies. Remember back to the siege.
>Berserk
Again something trained for months before boarding the Lucrehulk, as you can’t really use it on board.
>>4407900
Yes it can be. But caution is advised.
>>4408045
>until we know just how powerful the Arbiter is right now.
You may soon find out

>>4408240
>But Bane doing it for you repeatedly could cause damage, or worse corruption.
If we learned how to do it ourself would it still cause the damage / corruption? or is it because its intrinsically a darkside ability that causes the damage / corruption?

>>4408240
>>IT
>Useful, but does have it’s limits. Especially against those that now know you can do it.
Alright, that's it, we need to brainstorm our plans for the next planetary fort invasion. At the very least we can't keep using IT.

>>4408476
>Alright, that's it, we need to brainstorm our plans for the next planetary fort invasion. At the very least we can't keep using IT.
We could just play it safe and destroy the planet from a distance.
Or we could do a fake out with a multi-form clone.
One Instant Transmission's to the planet, business as usual.
The other would wear a disguise and act as a regular infantry member until the Covenant enact their counter to the planetary Karn.
I've yet to finalize how we capitalize on this, but I've got a few ideas.
>if they bring in another fleet, the Planetary Karn can disengage and refuse with the Disguised Karn and take it out.
>The Planetary Karn can engage whatever Stand User happens to be on the ground and call the Disguised Karn for full power if needed.
I think they would buy Karn going solo on a raid as a result of the casualties incurred during the last mission. If the Plantery Karn dies as a result, it's no big deal and it would briefly confuse the shit out of any combatants trying to track Karn.

>>4408503
Three problems with that.
First our regular Infantry are all Oozaru, or defenders, and there's no early we can add a defender so we'd have to be an Oozaru. Idc, but I don't think we can revert while the Power Moon is up, meaning we can't go higher than Oozaru for the duration of the invasion, or remain split the entire time.

Second, having a much weaker Karn do battle is dangerous and probably noticeable if they have any ki sensors. We also just showed this technique in the last invasion unfortunately so the strategist probably already recorded as much as he could of it.

Lastly having one of the Karn's die is a massive no no. We'd be at half power for a pretty long time, and we can't afford that state in war. Any momentary confusion it would cause is outweighed by how much it'd cripple us

>>4408254
Good question. IC you don’t know, and won’t unless you decide to pursue learning it
>>4408476
Or you can, if you switch up your tactics.
>>4408503
>We could just play it safe and destroy the planet from a distance.
Unwise, as this is the staging area for stage 2.
And if a Multiform Karn is killed, that power is GONE. You’d have to retrain yourself to regain what you’d lost.
>>4408945
Reverting is impossible once transformed, unless you get ko’d or the Power Ball(s) aren’t shining on you for several minutes.

>>4409474
>Reverting is impossible once transformed, unless you get ko’d or the Power Ball(s) aren’t shining on you for several minutes.

Right, thought as much..also the idc was meant to be idk, apologies.

And true, I suppose rather than IT Explosive Wave, or IT to the places woth the highest power level we could just aim for places like their armory or any communication centers. Do more disarray than straight up damage

-Saiyan Conqueror Quest 137’s LATE Epilogue-

AGE 749, NEW SALDA

“Sure is quiet around here.” you say with a sigh, sitting on the beach in the shallow water, letting the waves wash against your crossed legs. Your name is Tatsu, and you’ve lived a long, fufilling life. Your son Karn, who you helped shape into the man he became, was the first man in a thousand years to claim the legendary power of a Super Saiyan. And despite all the hardships you’ve faced over the years, and have the abundant scars to show for it, somehow you’re now the oldest living Saiyan on your new homeworld, New Salda. After Planet Vegeta’s destruction you all moved to this world with the intent of making it your home. But it’s almost as if the universe itself has it out for your people.

First, there was the first Covenant invasion. Most people don’t remember it, as it was overshadowed by their later invasion. Then there was the Big Gete Star, and those mechanical abominations. After that there was the full-scale Covenant assault on New Salda, which everyone gave their all to stop. And despite the casualties on your side, for each dead Saiyan they paid in millions of lives. But it didn’t stop there. Hell itself invaded later on, led by a massive demon that Karn finally defeated in a titanic clash.

Yet that wasn’t the last threat to rear it’s ugly head. Not too long after, the last remaining Tuffle unleashed his ultimate revenge machine, Hatchiyack. Yet even the now-extinct species’ rage wasn’t enough to stop your son, as Karn, defeated it. Then with aid from King Vegeta and Lord Freeza, they banished an ancient evil sealed below by New Salda’s late Guardian. You and the ancient being had bonded rather closely over the years you’d known each other, having so much in common. In fact, during many of Karn’s different escapades across space, you’d spent your time not personally watching over Karn’s younger children or training up young Saiyans you’d spent with the elder being. Despite being the now-oldest Saiyan alive, he’d lived dozens, if not a hundred of your lifetimes. And so, you were able to near-continuously learn from a wise elder for the first time in many decades.

“KYAAAAAAAAA!!!” you hear a kid scream, his voice coming closer as you hear smashing from the forest behind you. Turning, you see a young boy with shaggy hair smashing through a tree before crashing into the salty water beside you. Turning curiously to study thr boy, it’s clear he’s been taking a beating. Bloody and bruised, with one eye swollen shut, he reminds you for a moment of Karn when he was much younger. Even more so when, slowly but surely, the boy pushes himself back upright.

>>4409623
“Haaa, haaa, haaa.” he pants, and despite not having the strength to even take a defensive stance, the boy still stands up defiantly. A few moments later you hear several older boys and a few girls talking, joking about one called “Ruta” may have accidentally killed him.
“If he died from that, then he’s too weak to be called a Saiyan.” a young woman says, the clear leader of the group appearing from where the young man’d flown from earlier. She’s still clearly a child, perhaps a year or two younger than your granddaughter Chaya: “See? He’s still alive.”
“How is he even standing?” a rather meathead-looking young man asks her. “I’m sure you broke both his arms already, Ruta.”

“He’ll be in even worse shape when I’m done with ‘em!” Ruta shouts, blitzing forward. The young man she’s targeting is basically out on his feet, swaying back and forth in the breeze. So you decide to interfere, just enough to save him. With an effort of will, you reach out with telekinesis just as she swings, grabbing her by the foot. Before the young woman knows what’s happening you yank her down hard, landing face-first right in the water before the young lad. She hits with a splash, the water spray enough to knock the boy back. But it also wakes him up, you seeing him looking around frantically for several seconds.
“Wha-? Where am I?” he asks, but is interrupted as the girl Saiyan blasts herself back upright. And you can tell she’s royally pissed off.

“Hey! What the hell, you old geezer?!” she shouts angrily, voilet aura flaring up around herself. “This ain’t got nuthin’ to do with you! But if you want your other arm broken off too, I’ll be happy to oblige you!”
“I don’t know what’s going on, but you won your fight.” you say casually, gesturing with your stump of an arm to the confused, beaten and exhausted lad. “Whatever quarrel you had, it’s over. He’s beat. So take your win and leave, no one has to die today.”
“The hell he doesn’t!!” she shouts, getting more and more riled up by the second. “That little bastard thinks he’s better than me! Sayin’ how he’ll one day be a stronger Super Saiyan than me! So I’m just showin’ him his place. Ifyou wanna interfere, I’ll be happy to kick your wrinkly old man ass too!!”

And before you can respond, you feel her ki suddenly surging as she roars. The water blasts away from her as her aura changes to the familiar, brilliant gold. Her power multiplies several times over, knocking her thugs over as she reveals the full extent of her power.

“Last chance old man.” Ruta says, smirking confidently down at you as she crosses her arms. “Get down on your knees and beg for your life, and maybe I’ll spare you.”
“If you really think you’re strong enough to make me beg.” you say, grunting as you force your tired old bones to stand up and take your unique fighting stance. Missing most of both your right leg and left arm, as well as your right eye, most normal fighting stances aren’t exactly useful for you. So you developed your own, with the late Guardian’s help. Rising up, your weight is all on your left leg as you hold your right up, right arm held back and ready to strike while showing your opponent your ‘exposed’ side. “Then take your best shot.”

She seems a bit surprised by your unique stance, immediately unsure just how to approach you. But that doesn’t slow down this hotheaded kid for long, as with a roar she charges right for you. No doubt confident in her transformation’s boosted speed. And while she’s much faster than you, it’s not an unconquerable difference. The young Saiyan rushes in, right fist aimed squarely for your jaw. With your left arm long-severed below the elbow, there’s no way you can block or counter her hit head-on. So you don’t, instead twisting with the movements of the Su Ma technique. Before she’s realized what happened you’ve spun clockwise around her fist, your right elbow slamming square into her cheekbone and sending her crashing down. The girl lands face-first in the salty waters, sliding for several feet through sand and surf until, before coming to a stop, flips back up to her feet and launches right back at you.

“Lucky hit!” she roars, again rushing you recklessly. But this time she’s approaching you from your right, where you’re more capable of defending yourself. Time to teach this upstart whelp a lesson then. “That won’t happen again! HAAAAAA!!”

As Ruta roars she again punches, this time with a hard left. Again you twist around the attack, but this time you turn clockwise, into her guard instead of outside it. She realizes what’s about to happen, but is unable to move fast enough to stop you. So with the full power of your left leg, hips, and right arm, slam your fist square into her gut.

>>4409630
“GUH!!” she wheezes, your powerful strike winding the young Saiyan. But you’re not done yet. Clearly this child, ever since becoming a Super Saiyan at least, hasn’t been disciplined. So it falls to you to teach her respect, especially those older, weaker, yet far more experienced than she is. The real world will easily destroy one such as her, overconfident in her strength. You’ll have to break that ego, so she can learn not to underestimate her opponent.

“HRRRAAAAA!!” you roar, twisting counterclockwise and slamming your left heel into the back of the young woman’s head. Already staggered, this blow sends her crashing down face-first into the shallow water where she slides to a stop. But your attack is relentless, it has to be. If she recovers, and approaches more cautiously, this gap in power could prove troublesome. So you have to break her will, and destroy her so she can be remade into a proper soldier. Reaching down to continue your attack, you grab her by the ankle and lift her up to slam your right knee square into her face. You feel her nose crunch from the impact, pulling your knee back then spinning the young woman overhead one, two, three times before launching her straight into the sky. Planting your good foot you pull your right arm back, gathering your energy before throwing it forward in a powerful energy wave. “HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”

Your beam strikes before Ruta could prepare for, or even notice your attack coming. It detonates on impact, you feeling the attack dropping her ki significantly. She’s not critically injured, you purposefully using a less-than-lethal option. But she’ll be feeling that hit for days. Sighing out you lower your arm, taking a deep breath to refocus your energy. Despite losing a chunk of energy she’s still stronger than you, and isn’t coming back down. No doubt taking a few moments and recovering. But as you’re doing the same, taking several deep and calming breaths to steady your own wavering power, you can’t simply rush up there like you could years ago. You have to once more face harsh reality, and accept that your body is growing ever-weaker.

Day by day you’re steadily becoming weaker, your body long past it’s prime. And although your control over ki and even the world around you keeps improving, you can feel the spectre of death hovering over your shoulder. Each time you fight someone, your body’s degradation is noticeably accelerated. But you can’t simply sit on the sidelines, and watch the world go by without interfering. Arrogance can get these kids killed, and you’ve seen it happen enough to know better than anyone.

“That’s it, you bastard!” the young woman shouts from overhead, blitzing down and landing a dozen or so feet from you. She’s clearly furious, golden Super Saiyan aura going wild to match her rage. You feel her energy suddenly begin spiking, this could be trouble! She pulls her arms back, gathering her ki into massive, glowing spheres in her hands. Her energy levels are absurd, rising even higher than they were when she’d just transformed. Just how much power does she have? “I’m ending this, and you! Right here and now!”

“Dammit! I still haven’t recovered from that last attack!” you think to yourself worriedly. “If those hit, this is over. I’m dead.”
“Die!! DIE!!” she roars, tossing the attacks one after the other. And so you put all your faith in the late Guardian’s technique, focusing your energy into a half-dome of ki between you and Ruta’s attacks. The partially-formed Barrier takes both of the young Super Saiyan’s attacks head-on, yet despite the strain it puts on your mind the shield holds. “Huh? What?! No fair, that’s cheating!!”
“Life’s not fair.” you reply, ending the shield and gathering up most of your remaining ki. You only have one shot, better make this count! “It’s over!”

And as you shout you toss a ball of ki, which Ruta seems more than ready for.

“Not yet!” she shouts back, and as your seeming-attack approaches she pulls back her right fist, preparing to swing. But just an instant before it’s in her range you stop it, her counter-punch whiffing and throwing her so off-balance she nearly slams face-first into it. “Wha-?!”
“HAAAA!!” you shout, directing the ball of energy straight up into the air. Her eyes never leave the shining orb, which is perfect. Clenching your fist, you break the ki ball open and bellow, “Burst open and mix!!”

“Huu-ooorrrroooaaaaar!!” she roars, as with her gaze transfixed on the orb begins transforming into an Oozaru. But not just any normal Oozaru. The mighty feral power begins combining with her own Super Saiyan energy, the young woman momentarily transforming into an unstoppable Golden Oozaru! But the strain is too much, her eyes rolling back into her head as she changes from Golden to a normal Oozaru, moments before falling forward unconscious. You leap back, narrowly avoiding being crushed by her hulking frame. After regaining your footing you end the Power Ball, it dissipating as swiftly as it appeared. Moments later Ruta also begins shrinking, reverting back to her normal self. You did it.

Exhausted, you ease yourself back into a sitting position, allowing the waves to gently wash over your lower half as Ruta’s thugs quietly gather their beaten boss and make themselves scarce. No doubt they’re cowards who all follow her out of constant fear. But as they leave you sigh heavily, letting the exhaustion wash over you like a wave. Closing your eyes and relaxing, you feel yourself begin to become one with the world around you. The waves gently washing over you, the sand against your back, you feel your exhaustion surprisingly begin melting away. But that’s not all, as all of your aches and pains begin disappearing as well. You begin feeling relaxed, wonderful even, as pains you’d long since grown so used to you didn’t notice them anymore are surprisingly gone as well. In fact you feel so good you open your eyes, but then immediately realize something’s wrong. You’re not on New Salda anymore.

“The hell?” you mutter, looking around confused. You find yourself on a familiar rocky plain, the sky overhead reminding you of home. Not this planet, but the home you’d lost. Planet Vegeta. “But, how-?”
“Hey Tats.” a voice calls out, one you’ve not heard in years. Turning, you see a woman you’ve not seen for decades, tears coming to your eyes. “Long time no see.”
“No way...” you say, taking an uncertain step forward. This is impossible, you watched her die more than thirty seven years ago. “R-Ruco?! Is that really you?”
“Of course, who else would it be.” she says, rushing over to you. And before you can process what’s happening she grabs your hands, holding them tight. “I’ve waited so long to talk to you again! And now you’re finally here!”

WHAM

Suddenly you feel a sharp impact to the chest, and all of your aches and pains are back in full-force. Ruco looks at you, frowning a bit, before speaking up.

“The boy you saved. He’s trying to return the favor.” she says, looking directly in your eyes. Or, rather, eye now, as your body returns to how it was before you appeared in this place. “But you don’t have to go, if you don’t want to. You can choose to stay here instead.”
“Sorry, Ruco. But I-“ you start, Karn’s mother closing the distance and covering your mouth with a single finger.
“I know.” she says, tears in her eyes. “You never quit.”
“But I’ll see you again, soon enough.” you say, sharing one final embrace before you turn your back on her and into the darkness. And as you do, suddenly your eyes spring open.

“Y-You’re alive!” the kid shouts, you looking over at the kid after a moment of getting your bearings to see him crying. “I thought you were dead!”
“Bah, I’m harder to kill than that.” you say, coughing up seawater as you sit upright. “But what about you, you alright kid?”
“I-I’m fine!” he says, sniffling a bit as he tries to clear his face and look less beat-up probably. “Just some bruises and broken bones, nothing I’m not used to from her and her goons. But forget that, you were awesome! How do you fight like that?”

“It’s called the Su Ma technique.” you say, using your flight to return to your feet. Well, foot. “And I think you could learn how to use it. What do you say, kid?”
“D-Do you mean it?” he asks, but before you can answer you sense two strong powerlevels surging towards you. Tatsu and Tomi, Karn and Meloka’s first set of twins crash down on the beach beside you.
“Grandpa, you alright?” they both ask you perfectly simultaneously.
“Easy, easy. I’m fine.” you say, waving their concern off with a wave and a smile. “So, what do you say kid? Want to study with my grandkids, and learn how to fight like you just saw?”
“Uzai. M-My name is Uzai. Sir.” he says haltingly, giving you a surprisingly proper Saiyan salute. “And it would be my honor!”
“He’ll be joining us?” they say, again perfectly together. “Wouldn’t it be easier for him to train with Maz and Kayle first?”
“Nonsense.” you reply, laying your hand on Uzai’s head. “I think young Uzai here will surprise you both. Now, come on. Let’s go.”

And you lift up into the air, the twins and your newest student Uzai following you as you lead the way. Your time in this world’s not done yet, not by a long shot. But knowing where you’ll go when it’s over, well, what’s better than that?

-Saiyan Conqueror Quest 137 LATE Epilogue End-

Heh, that uppity brat got what she deserved, and man, pops is really close to his end, huh? I hope we can be there for it, so we can give him a proper sendoff... I'll miss that old man, he's a damn good influence, on everyone.

>>4409665
He is in his 70s after all, the oldest living Saiyan in your timeline, and possibly the ENTIRE timeline currently. And yes he’s certainly got the moves.

>>4409709
Thanks for the epilogue GD, it was a really good one

>>4409709
If only he learned Hamon from the Guardian too. At the very least he wouldn't be feeling his age, nor looking it.

After reading that epilogue I was about to say something like "What's more dangerous to the enemies of the saiyans, a complete beast like Karn, or someone like his father who continuously trains up fighters and passes on strong techniques?" Then I remembered Karn is doing the same thing with both his own students and kids. Karn's family sure does tilt the timeline, huh?

Man that kid is lucky. The bricks that would be shat once Karn finds out some kid SS with more arrogance then sense killed his dad. Oh maaaaaaaaaaaaan.

No problem. It's understandable. Sometimes real life makes it hard for the Saiyan Conqueror Quest to happen. I was only able to be in the early stage of Saiyan Conqueror Quest 138 because of some real life things.

That Stand user was tricky, it's nice we managed to overcome this threat.
>But is it really over? Or was he here just to catch our attention, when something worse happens elsewhere.

Also this whole situation with the latest Stand somewhat confirms couple things.
>We know Arctus was in the part of the ship from where he can oversee and control entirety of it.
Information that he was drunk but that does not invalidate what comes below.
>It's safe to assume that the sensors present on the Lucrehulk were active.
Despite this:
> the arrival of the Sangheili Stand user was not detected.
>His moving around the ship up to Karn's and Meloka's quarters were also not detected.
>His Stand Mistral Wind froze them nearly entirely sparing only the bed.
>Judging from the half open and frozen in that state doors he might have even entered the place where Karn and Meloka were sleeping.
>He probably just left though, but only because he wanted to.
All of this did not activate any alarm, nothing.
If Karn did not reach out to Arctus via telepathy perhaps he would only found out sometime later after all of it was over.

What is unclear about this.
>Were the alarms shut down because he was busy getting drunk?
Very unlikely. Artus is responsible, he seem like he would never do such risky thing.
>Did Sangheili avoided detection only because of the technology that makes his cloaking?
If yes, then that is a bigger problem. It means all other Elites have technology available that can make them move around our ship like ghosts.

Or perhaps it was due to the powers of Stand Mistral Wind that he was able to be this stealthy.
>Then it is somehow a bit less concerning, because it means that it was something rare.
Stand Users are not common, and their abilities are pretty much unique among the multitudes of standard Covenant warriors.


Due to the doors to Karn's and Meloka's room being half open and frozen like that there is a suspicion.
>Possibility, that the Mistral Wind or even the Stand user himself entered their room when they slept.
If yes. This leads to another mystery.
>Sangheili was here to kill them.
>But if it was like this then why he left the room and waited till Karn and Meloka wake up and get ready to fight.
>He even left their bed unfrozen as if to make a point.
Mistral Wind could have tried to stab one of them (or both) with a icicle to the throat or heart.
>He did none of that.

This is very suspicious. What the Covenant really wanted to achieve here?
>Was it again a distraction to pull of something else unnoticed?

Only positive possibility for an answer to this that comes to mind is that maybe:
>This Sangheili honorable enough not to attack them in their sleep.

> “Excellent.” Bane says, his phantom appearing beside you. “Allow me to aid you. Continue choking the life out of it, and I shall allow you to drink his fear.”

>“I feel my strength rising, my power surging!”
>“The true ability of the ancient Sith.” he replies, smirking knowingly. “The Dark Side is fueled by emotions. And there is no greater fuel than the terrified emotions of those dying painful, gruesome deaths. With training, you can revel in the suffering of your enemies, and use it as the fuel to increase your own power. This is the true power of the Dark Side. Now, revel in his terror, and use that to end him!”
Most interesting development.

To be able to increase power like this. While this is very situational it is also very useful.
Just imagine a situation similar to the Covenant's siege of New Salda.
>Karn and his allies has been fighting without practically any break for a long time.
>but despite continuous effort and battle Karn keeps on fighting.
>endless waves of enemies keep on coming but he keeps on battling.
>But after all this time even his stamina seems to be starting to run out.
Yet with the power of the Dark Side he will not simply drop exhausted after some enormous unending effort.
>While fighting and killing he will empower himself with the feelings of agony that come from foes he is defeating.
>Turning their suffering into a fuel to strengthen himself with the power of the Dark Side of the Force.
>As long as he will be fighting and defeating enemies he will be able to keep on going way past his limit.
Such enormous exertion could probably be a cause of huge Zenkai later, but that is not most important. Most important is that he would be able to remain in battle despite enemies attempts to slowly grind him by forcing him to use up all of his strength on uncountable hoards of opponents.

This is very important.
Today Karn has also made first step into learning some of the other powerful powers that come from the Force.
What Darth Bane demonstrated is obviously very useful.
>but what he showed is also a gateway to even more advanced Dark Side related powers.

First of all what Karn just made was to empower himself at the cost of dread and suffering that Sangheili assassin was experiencing.
>From a certain point of view it could be said that he almost used him as battery to draw power from.
This is one important step that can lead Karn closer to Force Drain.
>Of course I know Karn still needs to learn a lot, but nevertheless he is closer than before.

Another thing that I was thinking about.
Darth Bane said:
> The Dark Side is fueled by emotions.
Even in combat with a mechanical enemy Karn could empower himself with the Dark Side of the Force.
>But mechanical enemies do not feel anything let alone dread.
>They cannot be used as a source like the living beings.
True, but there is another source.

Karn himself.
>Remember how in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods Vegeta's power massively increased when he became angered because Beerus hit his wife Bulma?
>Vegeta has no Force powers but his anger allowed him to strengthen himself.
An emotion allowed this, and Karn did similar things many times before.
>But that was just with his own innate strength and Ki energy.
In Saiyan Conqueror Quest 34 rage was what allowed Karn to unlock the Berserker Super Saiyan for the first time.
>Chaya was about get hurt, and that made Karn insanely angry.

So it's natural for Karn to instinctually draw power from his emotions.
>And now once he train himself enough he will be use the same source of strength to also gain power from the Dark Side of the Force.
Those are two (2) simultaneous very strong power ups working at the same time.
>Once mastered it will make Karn so much more dangerous.

If he will find himself in an unfair fight with odds stacked against him
>the more angered or frustrated (maybe both) he will be in battle the more power he will gain from the Dark Side of the Force.
But what is even better is that apparently those emotions don't necessarily have to be like anger or hate.

Darth Bane said:
>" The Dark Side is fueled by emotions."
And below I post a quote from "https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_side_of_the_Force"
>" To tap into the power of the dark side was to indulge in raw emotions such as aggression,[2] fear, anger, hatred,[3] and passion.[4]"

Yes "passion".
And what is passion?
Quote from "https://www.dictionary.com/browse/passion"
>"any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling, as love or hate."
Love.
Imagine Karn using his love for Meloka and children to strengthen himself with the power of the Dark Side in order to protect them.
>I think that could be something that Darth Bane does not see every day.

>We are kind of running out of things to train...
I think it's the opposite.

We have way too little time to train all the things that we want. Just to mention couple of them:
>Base power level training.
(So when we unlock new transformations we will be able to hold on to it. And not like Vegeta, who tasted power of the Primal Saiyan transformation, but can't repeat it.)
>Energy control/mastery training.
Meloka does very impressive things with it, we could too if we learn.
> Dark Side of the Force training.
So many unusual powers and possibilities can come from this.
>Berserker transformation mastery.
Because it's so good.
> Training with our Stand Divine Dragon Force to get better at team work and unravel the mystery of his undiscovered abilities.
GD hinted that Divine Dragon Force has great power, but unfortunately we don't know how to use it fully and thus can't access it now.

There are more things that could be trained then this of course.
Like for example practicing some specific fighting style like maybe:
>Su Ma
>Su Ma Grappling
>Djem So
>Rope-A-Dope
Source - Saiyan Conqueror Quest Pastebin: "https://pastebin.com/iPAJeGJn" .
I just mentioned few.
So I would say that sadly we don't have as much time to train as we want and need.

I'm not sure about Ultra Instinct now.
>Goku with power level in the Tournament of Power league only managed to hold on to it very short time, and in was very draining.
In key moment when he talking to Jiren after winning the duel it overloaded Goku and caused him to lose power of Mastered Ultra Instinct at that moment (picture related).
Don't get me wrong I know Ultra Instinct very strong, but it's also very hard to attain.

>Or we could do a fake out with a multi-form clone.
>If the Plantery Karn dies as a result, it's no big deal and it would briefly confuse the shit out of any combatants trying to track Karn.
Unfortunately it's a big deal, because if one of the Multi Form clones dies the maximum power level of a recombined user is lowered and hindered for months until it recovers.
>>4409474
>And if a Multiform Karn is killed, that power is GONE. You’d have to retrain yourself to regain what you’d lost.
It's even worse than I thought.

You’re assuming it all happened immediately, and wasn’t a slow, gradual change. Also, this is the FIRST TIME Karn couldn’t immediately sense a cloaked Sangheili. Something’s different.
>spoiler
Why fight directly, and risk Karn’s legendary anti-assassin abilities, if you can simply let him slowly freeze to death in his sleep?
>>4410645
Yes, would extremely help in another Siege situation. But when the battle is over, Karn would crash hard and not recover for days, or possibly weeks. Pushing your body too far past it’s physical limits has consequences.
>>4410649
Your own emotions can fuel your power, at least temporarily.
>>4410652
His days are numbered. And even fewer if he keeps pushing himself. But that’s assuming that, like Karn, he’ll ever quit.

>Something’s different.
My guess is that the Yautja was maybe transported by the Black Door user, or suck in through gaseous form but had no plans on directly interfering until recently so we weren't pinged. Or, and this ones my bigger guess, the Yautja was always on board so our senses couldn't feel anything off. He got on during the invasion on Arctic's base, snuck on because Arctic felt his power level disappear and assumed he was dead and he's been there ever since.

Am i close GD?

>>4411558

Please don't confuse our vaguely reptilian, honor-bound, long lived, quadruple mandibled friends with the Sangheili.
They get offended very easily.

>>4411463
Honestly depends how pissed off karn is with the entire situation with gods by that point, cause mind you he may or may not have killed beerus by this point depending on how much of a complete faggot that cat acts like during Battle of Gods in front of Karn.

>>4411615
If he touches the kids or any other member of the family, I'm gonna say his death is the most likely outcome.
It's that or he gets severely maimed and takes us on as an "apprentice" to save face.

Also on that
>>4411719
GD DD is more similar to a heaven ascended stand or a requiem one?

>If we potentially landed a clean hit on Whis
You’re assuming you could actually do such a thing. Dragon Force cannot sneak up on Whis, and even Apex Chaya can’t lay a hit on the angel.
>>4412579
It isn’t Requiem, as Karn/Dragon Force haven’t been pierced by an Arrow or similar artifact. As far as you know.

>>4412579
I’d reckon it’s more similar to a heaven ascended stand. That being said, I don’t think DD falls into any of the Stand evolution categories that we know of. DD’s evolution was quite unique compared to all the others.

QM QUESTION

We’re still on to continue the episode this Sat/Sun, I hope to see everyone there. But I had a thought. With the way everything has progressed over the past three years, which has been your favorite in-quest revelation? And with so much characterization, especially outside the ‘normal canon’, who is/are your favorite characters? And, perhaps most important, what are you looking forward to most after this war ends?

>>4414281
>which has been your favorite in-quest revelation?
That Raven and Ubo are having a baby. Don't you lie to me I can smell the sexual tension from here. It's only a matter of time.

>>4414281
>which has been your favorite in-quest revelation?
I suppose Cold being a Jedi. I really enjoy how you’ve blended all these different series together into one canon, it makes for some pretty cool surprises.
>who is/are your favorite characters?
I like Frieza the best. It’s nice seeing him not as an antagonist but an ally.
>what are you looking forward to most after this war ends?
I’d like to see us finally tackle the challenge of achieving a new transformation. Whether we choose the Primal route or God route, I’m eager to reach the next stage of power.

>>4409644

Having Star Wars stuff in the series but as a flavor thing because Buu wrecked everything was inspirational. Although for personal preference reason I'm more of a fan of making Towa a family woman.

>>4414281
I think my favorite revelation is Manus is Aku, that was a pretty good one, with a close second on how all the stars wars stuff went to shit cause majin buu broke everything.

>>4414281
>which has been your favorite in-quest revelation?
All the lore surrounding the Jedi order, Buu's rampage, and Cold's inclusion was personally very interesting to me. It makes me wonder what you're planning on doing with the Covenant since they also have a lot of backstory that hasn't really been brought up in quest.
>who is/are your favorite characters?
Guardian for life, never forget who saw the potential in us to be something more.
Vegeta and our kids all have a special place in my heart as they grow.
Broly in particular is a refreshing take on his character.
Tatsu's outlook and experiences are also interesting since he's probably the last "old school" Saiyan left. I love how he's fitting into that mold.
Trunks is also interesting to me as I see a lot of potential with his character arc. I have to wonder if he's still conflicted seeing the true nature of his lineage and just what he's trying to destroy.
>what are you looking forward to most after this war ends?
Plenty of things honestly.
We have a ton of stuff to work on personally after everybody's safe for the time being.
I kinda want to bring the remaining Covenant races into the fold and do away with their flawed zealotry.
I also want to see the moment Chaya and Broly really come into their own as they finally become young adults.
And finally, I'm looking forward to tying some the lose ends when the peace and calm of New Salda is inevitably shattered. I know about half of a sorcerer who needs a good skull-fucking.

Less than 24 hours until this episode resumes, I hope everyone is ready!

That depends on anons’ choices. The Guardian was especially interesting, since both he and Ubo were spared by anons. Vegeta has developed quite differently than his ‘canon’ counterpart, for the better, and the kids are always a personal treat for me to write. Especially Caulifla right now, who’s taken Chaya’s cute mantle. And of all the characters who’ve made it this far, I’m pleasantly surprised Tatsu’s survived this long. Your choices kept him alive
>Babidi
With the now TWO massive wars going on, he may have begun moving a bit more openly than before, thinking he wouldn’t be seen with so many PTO resources devoted to exterminating the Covenant.

>In quest reveal
It probably is a tie inbetween the jedi and the covenant stuff both have massive implications, I wonder if karn might have to fight the mother or have a chance of ending up on mortis after all there is dagger similar to godsend there
And on the covenant side we have the precursors and ancient humans and somehow Doom Slayer is involved

GD how high are the chances of Chronoa to yoink the slayer and point him at mechikabura's direction?

Thanks for explanation.
>Yes, would extremely help in another Siege situation. But when the battle is over, Karn would crash hard and not recover for days, or possibly weeks. Pushing your body too far past it’s physical limits has consequences.
True. I'm not thinking about using something like that carefree. More of a something to use only in extreme situations.

>Also, this is the FIRST TIME Karn couldn’t immediately sense a cloaked Sangheili. Something’s different.
That's important.
>Why fight directly, and risk Karn’s legendary anti-assassin abilities, if you can simply let him slowly freeze to death in his sleep?
Clever approach.


> His days are numbered.
I refuse to accept it.

>I’ll say this, Whis is far more wary of Dragon Force now than he was.
Wow Whis thinks Divine Dragon Force is something that should not be underestimated.
That's even more motivating to find out what it's secrets are.

By the way who managed to gain insight on mysterious stand called Dark Rider that belongs to Karn's son in another timeline?
Joseph Joestar used Purple Hermit to examine Dark Ride and get information about it
Who did the same with Caulifa's Stand (Triumph) and was first to reveal that it will have a skill:
>From the Ashes: If Triumph is active and not in it’s dormant form upon the user’s death, Triumph and the user will both burn down to ashes, then be reborn in a powerful golden inferno.
Joseph Joestar
That's why I think, that once we have the chance to meet him in person again, we should ask him to find what information he can get on our mysterious Divine Dragon Force.
I have high hopes for this.

Mortals can't sense Ki that belongs Gods because Divine Ki is different and if you don't have it yourself, you will not be able to detect it.
>What if because of this Purple Hermit, a Stand that belongs to a mortal will not be able to get much info or at all on Divine Dragon Force.
>Because our Stand is full of Divine Ki and that may pose a problem with examining it by Purple Hermit.
But I still hope it will help us get some information on our Stand anyway.

By the way on topic of sensing God Ki according to:
>"https://dragonballuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/God_Ki "
Quote:
>"though there are exceptions to this, such as the mysterious assassin Hit, who could sense the divine power of Son Gokū despite having seemingly no divine power of his own."

Ubo was a surprise for me, as I hadn’t expected anons to latch onto a once-enemy.
Yes, Doomslayer is active. However, there are stronger versions of him in the wider multiverse.
>>4415573
Not like another Siege wouldn’t be an extreme situatuon.
It was a clever approach. But more importantly, they learned that a sneak attack on Karn directly or even indirectly is doomed to failure.
He’s in his seventies anon, he’s lived for years longer than any Saiyan who fought regularly. And besides, the afterlife won’t be something bad for him.
A clever idea, and you may be able to try it once this is all over. If he’s reachable.

Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:

After returning from the last mission Karn had a heartfelt discussion with his father before going to bed. But during the night Karn was attacked by yet another Stand, this one by the name of Mistral Wind. It attacked in the dead of night, dropping the temperature inside Karn and his crew’s quarters to far, far below freezing. After nearly freezing in your sleep, and coming face-to-face with the Sangheili wielder’s Beam Rifle, Meloka used Instant Transmission to go get help while he faced down and killed the Stand user. Now, as we rejoin Karn, the ancient Sith shade Darth Bane is explaining what he’d helped you just do.

“The proper name for this technique is Consume Essence.” Bane continues, as unsurprisingly the ice around the room begins to melt. “By feasting on others’ darker emotions, such as fear or hatred, you can drink in their own power as well. This drains their own ability to fight back while simultaneously strengthening yourself. Once you’ve attained sufficient control over this technique, you will be almost unstoppable. Weakening your enemies and breaking their will, all the while boosting your own stamina and strength. If you master this ability, you shall become virtually invincible.”
“Virtually, huh?” you ask, noticing his phrasing. “So, how did it fail you?”
“Ha! No, my death wasn’t due to this technique.” he replies, you sensing a hint of pride with what he says next. “It was my apprentice, Darth Zannah, who ended my physical life. My student defeated me in an open battle spanning worlds, after learning all but one of my techniques. But that is a tale for another time.”
“Huh?” you ask, the Sith vanishing as your wife and unsurprisingly Lord Freeza in his insanely-powerful Golden form both appear beside you.

“Well, it would seem that your husband didn’t quite need our help after all.” Freeza says to Meloka, then after a glance around the room to take in the battle’s results turns to you. “So, you thwarted yet another assassin? Tell me, did you manage to figure out how this scum managed to infiltrate our ship, and bypass all the security measures in place?”
“Not out of him, I didn’t get much of a chance to talk.” you reply. “But when he was cloaked, I couldn’t sense his ki. At all. Meloka found it, before teleporting over to you. Whatever new tech he’s got, it masked his ki from me.”
“That is certainly troublesome news.” Freeza says, reverting to his fourth form as he ponders. “If you could not sense him, and the onboard scouters didn’t pick him up, then we have some real problems. Fortunately you killed him without much damage to the gear, so perhaps the researchers can figure out how it works.”
“Hey, Karn. What the hell?”

You turn towards the voice, seeing a much bluer than usual Appule shoving the frozen door fully open.

“Who turned off the hea-Oh shit!” he shouts, seeing the Sangheili’s corpse. “Are we under attack?!”
“Not anymore.” you reply, also reverting back down to your base form. With the adrenaline rush over you once more begin feeling the cold, Meloka clearly feeling the same and pressing close to you. Karn Jr. between you both, to keep the defenseless unborn child warmer.

This is indeed troublesome. It may not even be that we will find another Sangheili. Perhaps this unwanted guest simply left somewhere some small object/machine that will allow the Covenant to further spy on our Lucrehulk.
Who knows if the dead assassin also did something else before heading to Karn's and Meloka's quarters.

“But there may still be more of them hiding.” you say seriously, Appule’s eyes widing in surprise as he realizes the implications. “This is an emergency. Let’s get everyone else up, and search the rooms.”
“R-Right!” Appule shouts, rushing to the cooks’ quarters off the kitchen and grabbing ahold of the door. Ice cracks as he heaves the door open, but you don’t watch him. Instead, with Meloka moving to your back and hanging on you approach Dr. White’s office, wrenching the door open. And sure enough, the entire medical office is covered in a layer of frost. Rushing across the room you approach the far door, this one surprisingly fully closed. But that doesn’t stop you, Meloka using a beam of ki to melt the ice sealing the room shut as you grab ahold of it. With ease you slide the door open, seeing Dr. White holding one of the Covenant blasters pointed at the door.

“Karn? What’s going on?” he asks, lowering the weapon and looking to you quizzically. “I heard fighting.”
“Hopefully it’s over for tonight, but then we were attacked.” you say, then quickly explain what happened. “Didn’t the ice enter your room?”
“No, not here.” he says as the two of you exit, the elderly doctor’s eyes widening as he sees the layer of ice covering everything. “You did eliminate this threat, correct? I no want freezing to death.”
“Don’t worry, the bastard’s dead.” you say, returning to the common area. Everyone’s now up and about, your entire old crew watching tue melting ice and keeping their distance from Freeza, who’s examining the dead Sangheili. “Everyone here?”
“We’re all here.” Appule says, everyone turning to you. “But we haven’t found any signs of another one. Any ideas?”
“I may have one.” you reply, glancing towards your wife who’s head is resting on your right shoulder. “You have anything?”

“I have one.” she replies, sliding off your back and floating to the approximate middle of the common room. Touching down on the ground beside a pair of couches and table, your wife creates a rather large, swirling ball of energy overhead. And while your crew don’t seem particularly worried, the newer additions of Silver’s trainees seem rather nervous. “Everyone hold still, don’t move around too much. HAAAAAA!!”

And as she shouts, the ball of energy explodes.

One moment there’s a single ball of energy, the next it’s split into hundreds of her fist-sized spheres of powerful ki. And they all fly out in different directions, seemingly bouncing off of everything.

“Everyone in here will be fine.” she addresses the room, eyes closed in concentration. “Everyone I can sense in here won’t detonate these attacks, but if they hit anything that shouldn’t be here, well. Better hope the first one kills you.”

And as your still-naked wife addresses the room, you see several getting chills that have nothing to do with the swiftly-heating freezer your part of the ship’d become. Within a few minutes the other balls all bounce back off every surface into the main hall, recombining into the single large orb of power. And with a contented sigh Meloka dispels the power, tirning to you and giving a thumbs up.

“All clear.” she says, every one of your crewmen sighing out in relief. “If anyone was here, they’re not now.”
“Alright, everyone, almost done.” you say, even Freeza perking up at this. “But before we all go back to bed, let’s sweep everywhere and make sure they didn’t leave anything behind like explosives, or recording devices.”
“Sir!” they all shout, saluting to you then beginning to scour the hall. While their search yielded nothing, Dr. White returned to his medical office. He was meticulous in making sure nothing was tampered with. Especially the healing pods, no-doubt remembering how you’d almost been assassinated in one. And, sure enough, as everyone returns to the common room reporting the all clear, he seems disturbed.”

“Found something.” he says, walking back out of his office and handing you a few small, pink crystals. “Seem familiar?”
“Yeah.” you reply, taking the small crystals carefully. “Where did you find these?”
“One in each healing pod.” he says, you understanding the implications immediately.
“Seems he wanted a bit of insurance if he managed to score some decent hits.” you say, crushing them to powder. “Bastards.”
“Like this one?” Dr. White asks, jabbing a finger right into the newly-burned hole in the center of your chest. You wince as he does, the agony flaring back into you at full force. “He did get you, meathead. Want to spend night healing?”

Well?

It's a relief those pink crystals were found now.

Actually that makes sense. What if some wires were cut or something. We don't want to get into a damaged Healing Pod.

If they put crystals in the pod then why damage it, the trap wouldn't work then.

let's chill out until the dust settles on this incident. I think there's definitely another infiltrator around

>>4416978
Don't need to put crystal juice in the pod to fuck it up, they can fuck up other systems to make things difficult.

>>4416985
I'm pretty sure Arctus will have more luck figuring that out.

Couldn’t hurt, spend the rest of the night in a healing pod wins it. Writing.
And don’t forget, Dr. White already went over everything in his office. Don’t have to worry about any further sabotage there

The door situation is too suspicious imo, at first I thought that every door opening was probably just some automated response from the ship as a safety feature in response to the temp, but Dr. White's room being sealed and iceless makes me think that there might be a saboteur that hacked into the ship's systems to ensure the ice could spread past the door seals. Either that, or the stand user used his stealth tech to go around and manually open each of the doors himself in preparation for maximum spread of the ice.

>>4416978
True. You are right, the point of this trap would be to make sure some one in ppd will die trapped in crystal.
But I think it's still good idea to make sure that the crew checks if some of the other important things and equipment are not broken or stealthily damaged.

>However going back the on topic of getting into malfunctioning Healing Pod.
>It could be that assassin might had a different back up idea just in case.
>If he assumed that we could have managed to find the crystals.
>And the pods would be also somehow damaged.
>Then they would be still not properly functional and because of that they would not be able to properly heal the injured.
Maybe it's not very probable, but when it comes to the Healing Pods it's better to check twice just to be sure.
They are very important.
Luckily GD just confirmed the Healing Pods are fine.

I imagined that when assassin was passing through the doors with his Mistral Wind Stand near the Stand was radiating such coldness that it froze the opened doors in place leaving them like we found them.

“Not particularly.” you tell him, then trade a glance with Meloka. “But I think it’s for the best.”
“You’d better.” Meloka says, half-heartedly scolding you. “I don’t want you bleeding all over the bed.”
“I’ll be out when I’m all patched up.” you tell her, kissing your wife then turning to the doctor. “Alright doc, fire it up.”

You then step into the pod, swiftly attaching the sensors and putting on the air mask as the pod begins filling with the healing fluid. As it does you watch closely, making sure none of the crystal was left behind, but it appears Dr. White managed to clean all traces of it out. You close your eyes, slowing your breathing as the added chemicals in the air cause you to swiftly pass out. While you’re not sure just how long you were out, when your eyes open again you peer throught the healing fluid and see that your chest wound has fully healed. Throwing the release lever, the fluid swiftly drains out allowing you to push the pod’s door open and step out. Looking around, you see no trace of the ice that had formed last night from the enemy Stand user’s ability. In fact the air feels rather comfortable, you yawning and taking a rather large stretch.

“Morning, General.” Dr. White says, the elderly man already at his desk. “Looking much better.”
“Feeling better.” you tell him, flashing him a thumbs up. “Thanks doc.”
“Anytime.” he says, you leaving the office and going back up to your room. Throwing on a training suit you then go back into the common room, getting a quick bite to eat as well before leaving your rooms behind and taking off. You fly from the central area to the left arm of the Lucrehulk, where your students are no doubt getting ready to train. You’re ready to push them even harder than before,
