“That is quite unusual.” King Yemma tells you through what looks like a rickety old TV monitor. “Very well. Gohan, if you are willing to undertake this, I shall both approve and order the ogres down there to give you their full support.”

“Thank you, sir.” you respond with a nod. “And thanks for contacting him, Montgomery, sir.”

“Sure sure, just make sure you get that crystal back!” the tiny bugman requests, shutting off the monitor.

“Mystery!” Buu cheers again, the tiny Majin pumping his arms into the air and dancing.

Well, you’ve got your work cut out for you. Where to begin?

Okay, first thing’s first! You need the outfit to look the part. Which… hrmn. “Hey Buu, real quick, we should get some detective outfits! Hat and trench coat and everything! Let’s look the part while solving this mystery!” You then send a mental image of the outfits for you both. Heh. You would look cool in that.

The Majin smiles even wider than before. “MYSTERY!” he cheers again, flinging the antenna on his head forward and turning some rocks on the ground into matching coats and hats. His has a little opening for his antenna. Okay, you definitely look the part now! Sensing out, you and Buu start heading away from the forested area and towards some of the ogres. You are… getting a sense of a few spirits that seem a bit out of the norm, but nothing tat immediately stands out to you.

Approaching one of the ogres, a large blue one, you give a wave to him then tilt your hat down a bit, hands in the coat’s pockets. “Son Gohan, Temporary Spirit Detective. Looking for a missing Spirit Crystal. Might you know anything about that?”

The ogre blinks in confusion for a bit, before another approaches and whispers something in his ear. “Ohhhh, King Yemma’s having you look for it, huh? Well, can’t quite say I’ve seen any spirits wandering towards the Sprites’ tree as of late.”

“I have, though they were part of a tour.” the second ogre, redder but smaller, mentions. “One of the buses passed through about an hour and a half ago.”

Aha, a potential lead! “And on that bus, did you notice any unusual individuals? Any that had bodies still, for example?”

He rubs his chin. “Hmm… now that you mention it, there were a pair of Kashvar-looking folks with them. They were cuffed though, and not particularly strong.”

Kashvar…? Wait, HOI! …But a pair of them? Suspicious.

>A. Where did the bus head to next?

Okay, time to grill ‘em. “Buu, donut break for ya. I got some more questions.”

“DONUTS!” he cheers, hobbling away and creating a little picnic for himself, to the growing confusion, and slight intimidation, of the ogres.

https://youtu.be/i7qxaCpfJa4

You cross your arms and look towards the second ogre. “You wouldn’t mind if I ask a few more things while I’m at it, would you?”

“Wouldn’t hurt. King Yemma said to help you.” he responds with a nod.

Good, good. “First off, where did the bus head to next?”

“If I recall correctly, they were heading back around to the Bloody Pond.”

Bloody Pond, check there next maybe. “And what do you recall of the path the tour took?”

“Was pretty standard.” he replies, leaning on his club. “Souls guided around a set path that takes them by that big ol’ tree out there. Sprites are usually buzzing at them if they leave the group.”

Hmm. So might have more witnesses, or might be dealing with someone who’s exceptionally stealthy. Hoi WAS a ninja, you think… “What exactly did they look like? How were they dressed? Anything stand out about them?”

“Looked pretty ragged, almost. Very loose clothing, with hoods.”

Ninja outfits. “And what were you doing at the time?”

He pats his club. “Keepin’ a few rabble-rousers in line. Some goons from the old PTO. Spotted them while they were passing along. If ya wanna check you can look into ‘em yourself. Names were Cranberry and Raspberry.”

Weird names, but okay. “How often do the tours pass by? And who arranges them?”

“Once every…” He thinks for a moment. “50 hours I believe? And the Central Tour Agency is what gets them going.”

You’ve got another potential place to head to. “Who do you know that could use these crystals?”

“Now that, I got no clue. They can help those who don’t have proper access to it channel Ki, but beyond that, ya got me.”

Hmm, channeling Ki. What would Hoi need with that? Hrmn.

>A. Okay, you’ve got enough info on this. Thank the ogre and head on your way

Seems you’re pretty set now. “What’s your name, sir? I’d like to put in a good word with King Yemma for your help today.”

He smiles brightly. “Why thank you! I am Kor.”

“Gotcha, Kor. Thanks for your help. And if you hear anything else, I better hear about it.” You place your hands back in your pockets and head along your way. “You good, Buu? Ready to get to the bottom of this mystery?”

“Okay! Buu gonna solve aaaaaall the mystery!” He packs up the picnic he made for himself and… turns it into one last donut before eating it as well and walking up beside you. Well, efficient. Really should get him some games whenever you end up alive again. You decide to look for this Cranberry and Raspberry pair first, and find their spirits in a little… flower garden. Huh.

“Excuse me, sirs!” you call out to the pair. “You two would happen to be Cranberry and Raspberry, correct?”

The closer spirit turns and looks at you. “Y-yes? Who are- …wait a second, you’re that kid! The one who helped fight off Janemba!”

“That I am.” you confirm.

“Buu here too!” the Majin declares, jumping up to clear the fence.

“What are you doing here, exactly?”

The two seem to slump slightly. “Tried seeing if getting those fruits might give us some new bodies. Kor walloped us away and now we’re set watching this garden.”

“I see, I see…” That checks out with Kor’s story. “Did you two notice anything suspicious while attempting this crime? Unrelated to your own misdead.”

“Jeeze, a goody-goody… say we did, why do you want to know?” the other grumbles at you.

“Well, I could tell Kor that you two are being uncooperative.” you mention off-hand. “But I could also put in a good word to try and do something to help. Maybe get you off…” You look down at the garden. “Flower-smelling duty.”

“...I am pretty tired of flowers.” the first comments quietly.

“Cranberry! Come on!” the second yells. “You going to be won over with something like that?!”

“I’d prefer if you two don’t waste my time here.” You lean on the fence around the garden. “Did you notice anyone suspicious headed towards the Sprites’ tree? If not, I’ll leave you two to your work.”

The pair float closer together, mumbling to each other. After a beat, the first comes back. “We saw this green girl and some aliens in red jumpsuits.”

Ah, Izzy’s group. “I see, I see… anyone else? Particularly in relation to a tour that passed by?”

“Uh… well, there were these two in ragged-looking loose clothes and with hoods, they seemed to be angry about something last I saw? They had bodies. Lucky sons of-”

“When you see them?” Buu finally asks.

Cranberry’s surprised by the Majin speaking up, but answers. “Like… right after Kor got us. They were being herded into the tour bus that came by. They looked pretty upset over something.”

Hmm. Interesting. “Anything else?”

“Maybe there was. Will you make it worth our while?” the second questions in a smugger tone.

>A player rolls all three dice simultaneously into the bowl. If a die falls out of the bowl, it is called a 'piss' and results in an automatic loss,

>The aim of the game is to get two dice to land on the same number. The remaining number will be that player's 'score'. This score is compared to the score of the other player and the highest scoring individual wins.

>If both players end up with the same score, or fail to make any score at all, it's called a draw and neither one of them wins. The money has to be wagered anew for another game.

>If a player gets three of the same number (4, 5 or 6 those are called lucky), they will automatically win the game and will win thrice the amount of Potch originally wagered. However, if a player gets three of the same number (1, 2 or 3 those are unlucky), they will automatically lose and must pay triple the amount of Potch wagered to their opponent. These two special arrangements are both called Storm.

>Moreover, rolling 4-5-6 will automatically win, granting double the amount wagered. On the contrary, rolling a 1-2-3 is an automatic loss, and the roller must pay double the wager to their opponent.

You shake your head. “You know, I get it. You guys want a better li- …afterlife down here. How about we play a little game? It’s call Chinchirorin. Have you heard of it? Best out of three. If you win, I'll put in a good word for you free of charge. If I win, you tell me what I want to know and I’ll still put in a good word for you. Either way, you win. What do you two think?”

The spirits look at one another with confusion, initially, then they give a sort of shrugging motion. “Tch. Okay. What do we have to lose?”

“Buu play too, Gohan?”

“How about I teach you how to first, then we can play it a few times after we’ve solved this mystery. Sound good? …Actually we’ll need some dice and a bowl.”

“Okay!” he cheers, creating some for you all.

Oh Suikoden you could kiss that game’s case if you were back home. All right! You get to explaining the rules of the game and how the dice rolls work. Three dice, highest rolls win, and a straight of three is an automatic win, as is 4, 5, 6, though a 1, 2, 3 streak is also a loss. The two spirits agree to it, and you all get it started. You even let the pair go first, and to their surprise, they roll decently high to start off, getting 3’s and 4’s and even a 5. But when you get to roll… “5, 5, 4. There we go, guys. Looks like I win.”

“Ah dang it…” Cranberry grumbles.

Raspberry floats closer. “Tch. How do we know you didn’t rig it, kid?”

“You doubting Buu’s honesty?” you question, narrowing your eyes.

“Buu no cheat! You a meanie!”

The spirit floats backward. “O-okay, okay, jeeze! Look, there was something that did seem unusual with them. I couldn’t catch what they’re saying, but I could tell body language well enough. They were frustrated, like they were disappointed in something. Or worried about disappointing someone.”

“...So you’re saying, then, that there might be another party working with them?” you ask.

“Kid we worked for Lord Freeza back in the day… back when that mattered for something, I guess. We know all too well the kind of trepidation of disappointing someone way, way above your league.” Raspberry explains. “If that wasn’t what was going on, then they’re a couple of nutjobs.”

You nod. “I see, I see. Thank you. I’ll try and put in a good word with King Yemma then, maybe make it a bit more spiced with the Champion of the Heavens putting in the good word for you.” You put your hands in your coat’s pockets again. “Plus, hey, now you both have something to pass the time.”

“Yeah, yeah… well, good luck with whatever you’re doing, kid.”

“Thanks again for your cooperation.” You walk off and Buu follows. So, that’s something new. They could be working for someone. Someone who they’re uneasy working for. This might be something bigger than you first thought.

As you and Buu head off to where the bus tour went, you pick up on something. An odd Ki signature… one that doesn’t quite feel like a spirit. It’s very, very faint though, almost like it’s trying to hide. It also feels… weird. Can’t quite place why, but it just feels “off” somehow.

That said, you can also see the buses up ahead. Might get a better lead from them. Though… maybe you could split up? Buu could handle one, you could handle the other. You look down towards the little Majin. Hmm…

“Hey Buu, you sense anything off in the area?” you ask.

“Hmm? Buu… dunno!”

“Try focusing on feeling out any Ki signatures, and follow along with me.” you ask, heading in the direction of the unusual energy. Along the way you explain the idea to Buu better, and after giving an example to follow, forming a sphere of Ki and tossing it forward, the Majin is able to sense it. You pass along some craggy, rocky areas and end up close to a mountain range. And… the Ki signature is in the area, but it’s pretty well hidden. “Sense it, Buu?” you ask quietly, motioning for Buu to keep his voice down too.

“Mmmm kinda! Buu think it pretty weak, not gonna be a big challenge.” He walks forward, humming softly to himself.

Very unusual. Though they’re not hiding it completely… maybe they’re trying to get your attention?

‘Buu, let’s not draw attention to ourselves. Try to match lowering your Ki with mine, okay?’ you ask the little Majin telepathically. He nods, and tries to follow you as you lower your Ki. And… yeah, that does get a reaction. The person around, whoever they are, seems to raise their Ki just a bit. You and Buu maneuver around, and right as you get to where you sense this person… you see nothing.

Yet there’s definitely a Ki signature there. Are they invisible? Wait, they’re on the move! You can see and hear footsteps! Okay, closing in and… and… is that a camera? A bright flash illuminates the area, causing you to shield your eyes. Agh, why, why would you use a flash that bright? It’s like getting hit by a Solar Flare! When your vision returns, you sense them on the move again, the camera no longer visible. In fact they’re… moving absurdly fast for someone with a Ki signature as low as this.

“Gohan! Gohan! Buu think they’re on the run!” the little pink guy tells you.

‘Buu, sunglasses! We can’t risk that happening again! Let’s split up and try to corner ‘em! In fact… let’s make it a game, first one to catch ‘em gets a toffee.’

‘Oooh! Okay! Buu gonna catch ‘em!’ After getting you and himself some sunglasses, he holds his arms out and starts to run in place to pick up speed, then dashes off.

You pick up the pace yourself, dashing around some of the craggy rocks and taking a more out of the way path as you close in on ‘em. Whoever this guy is, he is FAST. But you’re pretty quick yourself, and you’re right on his trail. He manages to swerve and avoid Buu using some… very ninja-esque moves, to your surprise. Who is this guy?

Right as he gives Buu the slip, though, you manage to get close enough to take ‘em down. But, he’s noticed you. “Wow, you’re almost as good as I’ve heard!” he declares, his voice… kinda excited and boyish, strangely enough. “Stand still for a sec!” He seems to turn around, and you see that camera pop out again.

But, using the Raio-ken, you leave only a sparking blur behind as the camera takes a picture, the bright flash illuminating the area, but thanks to Buu’s sunglasses your eyes are fine. You grab hold of the camera, and his arm with it. “In for some sightseeing, pal?”

“Yes, actually!” he declares enthusiastically. The cloaking ability he was using deactivates, and you see… a rather tall young man with purple skin and white hair done up in a ponytail, a tight black shirt and bright yellow pants, with matching yellow boots, black fingerless gloves, and a sword on his waist. He grins cheerfully and gives a wave with his free hand. “Hi there, Son Gohan! I’m Fu!”

He nods. “Yep! Nice to finally meet you! Cool outfit too! Can I get another picture of it? Please please please!”

“Why are you taking pictures in the first place? Who even are you?” You move his hand away as he tries to snap another picture.

“I’m a researcher! And I’m taking pictures for research! Got some really fun experiments I was allowed to do, since it’s pretty calm down here again.” He declares. “Lucky me that I showed up while you were visiting! Oh, I saw that Bardock and his group had new bodies! Was that your doing? And I thought I sensed-”

“Gohan!” Buu yells out, speeding towards you both. “You caught the bad guy!”

“Eeeeeeee!” Fu lets out a fanboyish squeal of excitement. “IT IS!” With you still holding onto his wrist, he dashes towards Buu excitedly and the two skirt to a stop, the Majin confused and you dragged along for the ride. “The real Majin Buu! But he seems so tiny, and I’m not sensing much chaotic energy in him. Feels like there’s only positive Ki inside him. How fascinating!” Fu then snaps a picture.

>A. OKAY, OKAY, STOP. STOP. STOOOOP. You’re going to start explaining who exactly you are, buddy
>B. Buu. Cuff ‘em. This suspicious person is probably our culprit
>C. Can you calm down for like five minutes and just tell me if you’re involved in the theft of the Spirit Crystal or not?
>D. Confiscate that stupid camera

“Fu. Can you show me all the photos you’ve taken?” you ask, placing your hand on the camera.

“Awwww, but I’m not done with them yeeeet!” he grumbles.

“Fu. Please cooperate.” you ask, giving a bit of a tug on the camera. He lets go, pouting slightly. Jeeze, he’s like, as tall as Sharpner, but acts as young as Daikon. But now that you have it in your hands… okay! You start going through it and-

…

He’s taken 93,751 pictures.

…

In the last two days.

…

You exhale in exasperation and start going through them as quickly as you can. Lots of different locations from Hell, there’s a big tree with lots of dancing fairies and teddy bears and toys, there’s the Bloody Pond, there’s… one IN the Bloody Pond, a strangely photogenic one of him with an old lady by some large machine, some of Bardock’s group, and-

WAIT.

HE’S GOT A PICTURE OF THE SPIRIT CRYSTALS!

…But only a picture. A lot of these are very… tourist-y. “What research are you conducting?” Hrmn. Another picture of the crystals.

“Oh it’s really cool! Ever since Hell was restored back to normal here, I’ve been allowed a chance to observe some of the denizens up close!” he tells you with infectiously upbeat energy. “Some are helping me with it right now! A few of those with bodies still. Ooooh but with you here, ans ESPECIALLY with Majin Buu, this could be a really unique chance!” He’s dancing in place now, and Buu’s mimicking him. He turns to the tiny Majin. “Buu, Buu Buu Buu, are you still able to use most of your Magic? Like, can you create objects at will, and turn things into food?”

“Uh-huh! Buu make lot of good food! Buu just had donuts!”

People helping him, huh? You scroll through some more, let’s see… there’s one with him taking a selfie with a bewildered younger ogre that… you think you recognize, one with some… strange winged creature you haven’t seen before from the distance, and… oh, there’s a closer one, seems vaguely feminine, hrmn… WAIT! You stop at one and your eyes widen. HOI!

>A. Fu. You care to explain this?
>B. Book ‘em, Buu, we’ve caught our crook!

“Fu.” You slowly turn to look at him, the purple young man sitting in midair with his legs crossed. “Would you mind explaining this?” You show him the picture of Hoi.

To your surprise, he nods. “Yeah yeah! I found those guys looking for a few things, trying to use the properties of these really cool crystals for something. They were paling around with this unusual demon thing…”

“Wait, is that what this is? It didn’t have a halo, which was more than a little surprising…” You move back to the winged creature. “What do you know about it, how’d you know it’s a demon?”

“Well I figure it’s more an amalgamation of things.” He places his hands behind his neck. “It did seem partly human, on some level, though heavily altered. I figure this is the closest they’ll let me get to something like Janemba directly, sooooo I decided to help ‘em along just a bit!”

Buu looks up at Fu. “…You did bad guy thing?”

“Come on, it wasn’t that bad! I’m just trying to further my research.” he responds. “Besides, it’s not like they could really cause that much trouble with such a thing.” He then taps his chin. “Unless something could work alongside the crystal’s energy-channeling structure, but hrmn, they shouldn’t have access to anything like that…”

“So you know about the Spirit Crystals? What exactly ARE you researching here?” There is so much incriminating stuff he’s said so far, yet he just seems willing to spill the beans on everything.

“Oh I’ve studied samples before. From my understanding they help individuals better channel their energy. Mostly a teaching tool, to be honest. Buuuut if you can somehow get certain other energies through it, you might get some really interesting results!” He adjusts his glasses. “Oooh, I wonder how they react to high levels of Blutz Waves…”

“Ey, ey, focus!” you call out, waving the camera at him, internalizing that bit of worrying info. “I’m the one asking the questions here right now. What other experiments have you been running in Hell? How have you even been allowed here, and how often have you been here?”

“Well mostly I’ve been looking into some of the more unique attributes of Hell. Stuff like the Bloody Pond and the Terrible Torture Tour. That Enma lady is surprisingly nice! It’s the first chance I’ve been allowed since things calmed down here.” Fu stands up again, getting closer to you. “But this is even better! I’ve got the chance to meet not only you, Son Gohan, but the one and only Majin Buu!”

Buu tilts his head at the strange, strange young man. “But how you come here?”

“Oh just a few passes and stuff. Let’s see…” He pulls out a wallet and starts going through it. “Time Passport key, Talisman copies, oh, there we go!” Showing you a piece of paper that is… signed by King Yemma, he then quickly puts it away. “Got access to that so I could start some experiments in a quieter part of this timeline. This is about the… second week I’ve been here now.”

…Timeline. Of course. “And who exactly did you get that from? In fact, how do you know about Buu and I, and why do you show this… familiarity with us? You did say it was ‘nice to finally meet’ us.”

“Ah come on Gohan, you’re a smart kid, you can probably figure THAT out.” He places his hands on his hips and… raises his Ki a bit more. That power, it’s…

…

It’s like Mira’s. And Towa’s. And… even Dabura’s to a smaller degree. There are hints of other things in there, but most similar to Mira and Towa. Like he’s their… oh. You immediately get a little more on edge. “Why did they send you here?”

Fu… laughs. “Pffaahahaha, send me here? I asked to come here, Gohan! My experiments are my own.” he waves his hand dismissively as he lowers his Ki back down. Noticing you still on-guard, his shoulders slouch. “Heeeey, come on, I’m not here for any of that! Honest!”

Your eyes narrow, but you relax just a bit. “Then I have one more, much more important question for you: do you have any snacks for my partner here?”

Buu smiles wide. “You brought snacks?!”

“Actually I did!” Fu produces a little baggie of… odd, tiny, strangely ominous candies. He takes one out and you can feel an almost menacing presence emanating from it. They even have little designs on them. And… Fu flicks one into his mouth with his thumb, a loud crunching sound heard, like it’s grinding concrete.

“Oooooh! Can Buu have?” the Majin asks, undeterred by the frightening candies.

“Sure sure! Oh, did you want one, Gohan?” Fu hands the baggie toward you.

>A. …Nnnnno thank you.

You cross your arms. “…Nnnno thank you. In fact, Buu, don’t eat those!” you call out.

“Awww why not?” he complains.

“Yeaaah, why not?” Fu asks, in more confusion than anything else.

“Look, I can get you something better later, not something radiating malice and despair.” you respond. “Er, no offense, but I can literally feel it. What even are they made of, Aquma?”

Fu nods. “Yeah! How’d you know?”

You pinch the ridge of your nose. “Still a mortal. I may be dead, but I’d rather not put this body through the wringer over demon realm candy. And Buu’s watching his intake.”

“Aww, not gonna experiment a bit yourself?” he questions.

“No. No. We’re not. Where or… when are you from anyway? You know about me, so are you from the timeline Basilea’s from or…?”

Fu adjusts his glasses. “Oh yeah sure! She’s my cousin!”

Great. Greeeaaaat. You’ve gained a very, very minuscule amount of sympathy for her. Wait wait wait, hold on, focus, FOCUS! “Ugh. Fu, look, I’ll take one for analysis or something, but I’m not eating it, and I still have questions for you.”

“Fine, fine, but I gotta get going pretty soon. Can I have my camera back now?”

>A. How long will you stick around here?
>B. Do you have an idea on what they might be capable of, or are you winging it?
>C. Fine, here’s your camera
>D. No, I think I’m turning it over to King Yemma for the time being. You can show him your documents and get it back that way

You look down at the camera. Well… fine. He hasn’t actually hurt anyone yet. “Thank you for your cooperation.” you say as you hand it back.

“Ah! Excellent! Thaaaank you!” He yoinks it right out of your hand, tossing you the bag of candies. You ask Buu for a container to put one in, then toss the bag back. “It’s been really really informative talking with you, Gohan!”

You coolly adjust your had and put your hands in your coat. “Still got a couple more questions. First, do you have any idea what they might be capable of, or are you just winging it at this point?”

“Weeeeell, I have a few ideas. Given who made the request, I suspect she’s hoping to use the crystals to better maintain her form’s stability. Lotta different energies just kinda… shoved together, two that were meant to fit together, like building blocks, but another smooshed all over it like modeling clay.”

“You mentioned studying her is the closest you’ll get to studying Janemba. What exactly did you hope to gain from observing him? And her, for that matter?” you ask.

“Mostly I hoped to see how his body functions, what with all that built up negative energy condensed into a physical form. I had a theory that similar negative energies fill up the Dragon Balls with they make wishes with positive energy, especially given the end result of that buildup. The massive influence across the cosmos was pretty cool too! But don’t think she’s capable of anything like that.” He starts to walk in place. “Maybe it’s more because of the instability in Janemba’s body that caused that… hmm, so if she were to use the crystal to stabilize… oooh I gotta see how that turns out.”

“Have you seen anything else particularly weird or suspicious during these experiments?” You know you’re going to regret asking this, but you gotta.

“Weeeeell, I was really, really curious about where you put Broly.” he replies, giving a slight smirk. “I heard he was in Hell somewhere, but haven’t been able to find where. None of the souls here have his Ki, and I heard he hasn’t actually been killed. Might be another party looking for him too, buuuuut if I can’t find ‘em then I’m sure it’s nothing you can worry about.”

You shake your head and put that in the back of your mind. “Not going to tell me who?”

“It’s no biiiig, really!”

Exhaling deeply, you look up at him. “Well Fu, maybe if you keep up this good behavior down here, I could offer to help you with some experiments. Perhaps a friendly spar if you want.” His face lights up. “BUT, only if you don’t cause anyone any trouble. Got it?”

“Got it! Ooooh this could be a lot more fun!”

“Fu!” Buu calls out, catching his attention. “Why you have that?” The tiny Majin points to… oh yeah, that sword of his.

“Oh! This is the TIME CUTTER!” he introduces and… draws it, doing a few practice slashes before striking a pose with it. Reverse grip. Of course. Dork. “And I have many uses for it. Like this!” He slashes at the air above him and… cuts something. To your shock, a rift opens up above him. “Later Gohan! Later Buu!”

Fuu jumps up and the portal closes behind him. That. Does not bode well for you. But little time to dwell on it now, you have a few criminals to apprehend!

You and Buu take to the air and start to fly off. Hoi and that other guy are with the probably trying to get that crystal to the demon lady. Hrmn… might be able to flush them out and stop this before it gets out of hand, but might also be better to have King Yemma know about this and get someone ready to deal with all of it just in case. Then again, you could also inform them and let them deal with it… but, eh, you’re not sure that’s the best idea, especially since you’ve gotten fairly involved already.

So, what to do…?

>A. You can handle this, wrap it up, and send ‘em to King Yemma to deal with

Well… you probably should get King Yemma on the line for this. You travel in the direction of two of the head ogres, Goz and Mez, and explain the situation. From there they get you in contact with King Yemma, heading into a little shack with a small, old-looking TV set. He is… less than thrilled hearing about Fu’s time in Hell. “I hadn’t issued such a thing! But… ugh. We have more pressing matters at hand. If they’re trying to stabilize this demon with a Spirit Crystal, that could cause a lot of trouble.”

“Think it would be good to have some people at the ready while Buu and I solve this?” you question. “Just in case anything else comes up, and to have a way to properly apprehend them.”

“Indeed, indeed. We’ll be able to process them. Hrmn… I should probably have Bardock’s Marshals as your proper support.” He leans back in his chair and thinks for a moment. “Yes, yes. Okay. Best chance would be to have the you find this demonic creature. You will be tasked with taking her down, but only once Hoi and Opan reveal the stolen Spirit Crystal. Once you have her occupied, Bardock’s group can retrieve the crystal. That sound good?”

“Yes sir! Also, I’d like to put in a few good words for some cooperative souls, Cranberry and Raspberry, and one of your ogres, Kor. The former two were involved in some shady stuff, but they cooperated with my investigation, while the latter both apprehended them and gave me a good place to start on.”

King Yemma nods. “Very well. I’ll write those down. Now, are you ready?”

>A. I am. I’ll sense her out and keep a low profile
>B. Should we do anything to help Bardock’s group prepare, just in case?

“I am. I’ll sense her out and keep a low profile. I appreciate all the trust you’re putting in me, sir.” you tell King Yemma with a salute.

“Hah! You’ve proven yourself quite capable, my boy! Winning the Tournament, helping stop Janemba, clearing up my paperwork requests, and doing your best to help who you can along the way, I’d say you’ve more than earned this degree of trust.”

Heh, that is pretty pleasing to hear. “Last question before we get started: do you want me to do anything about Fu?”

He rubs his chin. “Hmm… while I never gave him any sort of permission to be here, I doubt he will go along quietly if we try to apprehend him and send him back to the Demon Realm. Still, you are among the few capable of preventing him from causing any real trouble, so I will need you on standby if he does start something.”

“All right. You ready to take these guys down, Buu?” you ask the little Majin.

“Buu gonna catch the bad guys!” he cheers. Ah, that’s the spirit!

You both head out as Bardock’s group are called in, with you being careful to sense for anything unusual in the surrounding area, picking up on… something. Seems to be another odd Ki signature in a more… meadow-y part of Hell. Weird that there even is one. Still, you keep a low profile, watching as the area darkens a little as you move in the direction of the Ki signature you’re sensing. Being extra cautious, you make sure to also watch out for Hoi and that Opan guy. It takes almost an hour to get there, with as slowly as you’re moving, but eventually you spit a figure in the distance. Kinda hunched over, making strange noises. Almost like… it’s talking to itself?

As you get closer, you see it’s feminine… yeah, that’s the thing you saw on Fu’s camera. Demonic, with vague buglike features, with long hair and eyes filled with hate. She stops talking for a moment and lets out a screeching roar. “HRRAAAAGGGHHH! WHAT’S TAKING SO LONG?!” her echoing and distorted voice rages. Her Ki spikes up a bit. She’s nothing you can’t handle, but… she does feel a little similar to Janemba. That’s not good. She dashes out at a tree and starts to slash and tear into it, even biting the bark like a dog with a new chew toy.

And then you hear a crunching noise. You turn your head over to Buu. He has a bag of chips. You blink. “Buu got hungry.”

“Buu! Not now!”

“HHHRRAAAAGGHH!” the demon creature yells out, turning back as you and Buu duck down. “WHERE… WHERE ARE YOU TWO IDIOTS?!”

“C-coming! Coming!” you hear two voices exclaim. Aha, there they are! Hoi, and another who looks like him, with a darker outfit. There we go!

“W-we’re sorry it took so long! We had to make sure we weren’t followed.” the other Kashvar said in a panicked tone.

“HRRGGHH… YOU… DID YOU BRING IT?!” she growls out, then lets out a pained roar. “HGGGRRAAAHHHGH!” She clutches her sides and doubles over in pain, Ki flaring up around her, the air… shimmering.

“Y-yes, yes, we did…” Hoi rummages around for the Spirit Crystal.

“But… if this does stabilize you, are you sure you will be able to find Hirudegarn?” Opan questions. Wait… is that what they’re after?

“I WILL... BE ABLE TO RESTORE… AAAGGGHHH!” She bolts back up and lets out blast of energy from her body, the two Kashvar backing away quickly. “RRGGHH… RESTORE… IT… JUST UPHOLD… YOUR PART.”

Hoi gulps and nods, showing the Spirit Crystal.

You power up and toss out the signal for Bardock’s group. ‘Buu, get the crystal!’ you command telepathically, then leap up into the air. “HALT, CRIMINALS! You’re all under arrest!”

Hoi and Opan leap back in surprise, the demon’s head turning to face you, a hate-filled glare appearing on it. “SON… GOHAN! HRREAAAAAGGHH!” She leaps towards you, hands outstretched and claws and fangs bared.

“Won’t work!” You move quicker than she can react and deliver a palm strike to her gut, sending her rocketing back down… right at Hoi and Opan. And the Spirit Crystal. Which ends up lodged into her chest, energy coursing through it and kinda coalescing. Crrraaaap crap crap crap!

“GOT IT!” Buu declares, stretching his arm out and grabbing onto the crystal. “Buu got the crystal!” he declares proudly, and tries to tug it away… only for that to fail. “Huh? Hmmmh! Hey! You let go of crystal!” Buu tugs again, harder this time.

“OFF OF ME!” she yells, swiping at Buu’s arm.

“OW! YOU BAD LADY!” He then bonks her on the head for that… and in return she bites his arm. They keep at it for a couple seconds, until you step in again and deliver a spinning kick to her gut. That gets her off the ground, but tugging Buu away with her. Ah damn it!

At the very least, Hoi and Opan are barreled over by six Saiyans, Bardock’s squad is here! The larger two Saiyans pin them down, while Toma and Leek list off their charges and bring out the cuffs. Selipa looks up towards you and Buu, then signals to Bardock. Your grandfather powers up into Super Saiyan, but waits on standby. “Gohan! You need any backup?”

“Not yet!” You hold your hands out and try to focus on the Ki signatures inside her. They’re less chaotic than before, so you might have a little easier a time pulling them apart, but there’s three different ones in there, and you really can only get one at a time out…

>A. Pull out the demonic energy!
>B. Pull out the Artificial Human!
>C. Pull out the insectoid thing!
>D. Something else?

>>4574057
>B. Seems like the easiest to control for.

>>4574057
>>4574067
Agreed on B. Let's save the bit that's the most like a person, and just destroy the demon insect that gets left over.

“Grandpa Bardock, get ready to arrest something!” You’ve really only got one shot at this, you better make it count. Sensing out what feels like the Artificial Human, lacking natural Ki but having a body still, you take hold and pull her from the amalgamation of the three, exorcising her from the demon! The pink-haired lady is flung out of the being, which suddenly starts to destabilize.

“NOOO! NOOOOOO!” the remainder screams out, letting out a chaotic blast of energy from its body. Bardock is pushed back before he can grab on to the pink-haired lady, as is Buu, though the sheer force of the attack, and Buu’s refusal to let go, is enough to dislodge the Spirit Crystal from its body! Its form grows more and more unstable, body becoming a writhing, chaotic mass of vague demonic and insect-like traits. “I MUST BE… I MUST BE COMPLETE…!”

Well, you got them separated, now what? You take a defensive stance… but then realize something. You still have that Aquma candy. You’ve got an idea! “Hey ugly! I’ve got a treat for ya!” You toss the candy as hard as you can, and like a cockroach to sugar water it gives chase, stumbling over itself as its body tries, and fails, to hold itself together. You then make gun-shapes with your hands, charging Ki at the tips of your fingers. “Take this! DOUBLE GEIST MAGNUM!” You blast into it, tearing the monstrosity apart.

Good question! You might find out soon.

And okay, we are back!

>>4574196
With the monster vanquished, you look back over to Buu and Bardock. Buu’s managed to stop himself, and holds up the crystal proudly, while Bardock heads after Sugil. Turning back around, you see that piece of candy on the ground… still radiating the menacing energy from before. Floating over to it, you carefully place it back in the container… and hear clapping.

“Bravo! Bravo! Brilliant, Gohan! You’re putting those smarts to good use! Even I wasn’t sure how such a thing would react to that candy, but you had a hypothesis and tested it like a pro!” Fu exclaims. “Oh there’s just so much I can start to theorize on now. Maybe Janemba would have had a similar reaction, given the more childlike description of the creature and its concentration of negative energy… oh, oh! The crystal still was able to temporarily stabilize the creature, until it was pulled out…” He starts to talk in place around you, talking up a storm.

>A. You satisfied with how this went down, Fu? Going to leave the rest of the folks here in peace?
>B. Did… did you plan that out specifically?
>C. I’m gonna go now, got other things to do

Go along with his theorizing.

"The creature wanted to be complete, but would it have truly been complete even with the crystal? I believe that the Kashvar intended to combine her with Hirudegarn much like your mother intended to do."

“So. Did you plan that all out, Fu? Handing me the candy and hoping I would use it?” you question.

“NOPE!” he… proudly declares to you. “That was all your doing, and it was amazing! Though I’ll admit the idea did cross my mind too, buuuut might mess with my experiments if I did it. Still, that was expertly executed!”

You cross your arms as you look towards him… though you can’t help but feel a little proud to hear that kind of praise. “So, Fu, are you going to leave the people here to do their jobs in peace? Satisfied with the results so far?”

“Oh I won’t bother anyone, for sure, buuuut I still have so many questions!” He starts to walk around again, going off on technobabble as he goes into detail on what he’s speculating over. You’ve… kinda been through this situation before with Pantea, so you know how to pick up the important bits and kinda weather through it. “If the Aquma comprises only a 1% coating of the candy, then I wonder how the Black Water Mist would affect such a creature… ooh but maybe, hrmn…”

You know? You can kinda theorize too. Might put you on better terms with him. “That creature wanted to be ‘complete’, yet would that crystal really have stabilized her?” you ask.

“Well, given my own research into the subject, I believe it would have at the very least temporarily brought the three different energies in unison, buuuuut it lasting long-term might be tricky. The amount of chaotic power coursing through her body could have caused the crystal to crack under extreme usage.” Fu responds, smiling wider.

“Then there’s the Kashvar pair, might they have had an ulterior motive with her? I think they probably wanted to use her to more than just find Hirudegarn, but infuse her into it somehow. Could it actually have been possible? I believe Towa had a slightly similar goal, given how she had Mira try to run off with it before Izzy slew it for good.” Actually… that makes you wonder… “Where is Hirudegarn, anyway?”

Fu chuckles happily. “Oh you’ve got a great head on those shoulders! Well to answer the first two, they probably had an eventual double-cross planned, buuuut I’m going to have to say that even with her stabilized, they wouldn’t have been able to bring back Hirudegarn, nor have her absorbed into it.” He smirks and adjusts his glasses. “And for good reason. I doubt that form of Hirudegarn, born of the statue and infused with Demonic energy, can ever be brought back again.”

https://youtu.be/UQ8migZ1Ras

…Curious. “Why do you say that?”

“Oh, one simple reason: during the incident with Janemba, riiiight near the end, the soul that made up that instance of Hirudegarn has been completely Destroyed.”

>A. Wait what? How?
>B. Huh. That’s actually really encouraging! Thanks for sharing that, Fu!
>C. Check up on Buu and Bardock, just in case they need help
>D. Something else?

>>4575342
Good question. You'll have to find out later, though.

>>4575297
“Wait, wait what? How? How was it destroyed? WHAT could even destroy it? Can the gods do something like that, or…?” You feel a slight tinge of unease course through your body. “…Have you seen this happen before?”

“I have actually! Let’s just say a certain would-be universal conqueror ended up not only defeated by a god, but Destroyed by another for… well, kinda being a sore loser.” Fu gives you a… very curious look, then laughs softly. “Heh heh… anyway, as for how, it’s actually very interesting! Even souls can be completely Destroyed under certain conditions. One could say that if you ‘die’ while already being dead, truly ‘die’ and not just lose your body, you’re dead for good. Certain other, more godly abilities have the power to truly Destroy things.”

That’s… discomforting. “Huh… then, what destroyed Hirudegarn, exactly?”

“Oh that would be your cousin’s doing, Izumi! Oooh it was astounding to see how much she as a Mahou has become even more powerful, and use all sorts of fun new trinkets to make herself stronger. Even my mom’s a little impressed, though I don’t think she’d admit it. Even her counterpart here is probably keeping a distant but attentive eye on her.”

And you feel like you were bombarded with a lot of information all at once. IZZY managed to destroy Hirudegarn completely? …Hah, bet she did it in part for Tapion. Will have to keep that little nugget tucked away to tease her with. Still though, sounds like she’s been accomplishing a lot. Plus… Fu sounds fascinated by her as well. You raise an eyebrow. “So you’re keeping an eye on her as well, I take it?”

“Well yeah! She’s one of the first Mahous on Earth in such a long time, accomplishing something even your own mother hasn’t managed yet.” Fu explains. “I myself have been trying to delve deeper into more advanced Magics where I can, so I’d wanna see how a mortal handles that kind of power.”

“I see… then, that’ll be your focus going forward? Or do you have any other interests like, say, Hatchiyak or-” You realize something suddenly. “…You were talking about your timeline’s Baby weren’t you? You saw him ‘Destroyed’ like Hirudegarn was, right?”

He snaps his fingers and grins. “Ayyyy there’s that Tuffle smarts at work! Anyway, I’ll be off again, Gohan!” Fu draws his sword and slashes to the side of him, opening a portal. “See you later~!”

With Fu leaving, you see Buu approach, crystal in hands still. “Gohan! That Fu guy bothering you?”

“Nah, we were just having a chat.” you respond, putting your hands in your coat pockets again. You start to walk off with him, seeing Bardock having finally apprehended Sugil, who gives you a hesitant glance, something in her eyes looking… thankful, almost, though she turns her head away quickly. “Think we’re done here, Buu. Spirit Detective Gohan, and my good buddy Majin Buu, have solved this case. Wanna get some snacks now?” You raise your fist up.

“Snacks! Buu do want snacks!” He jumps up and bumps his smaller fist against your own.

Thanks, Sword.

Things have cleared up now, so once again, sorry we had to delay to today, but we are back!

>>4575393
All right, just a few more finishing touches, aaaaand… there! You lean in closer and look over the finished product. The miniaturized Hakkero. You put a bit of energy through it… and it works perfectly! Checking over Furnace really helped you finally get it just right. Hmm… maybe you could do something to better store it when in use. Like, have it on your Mahou armor, or maybe on a belt…?

“Izzy?” dad’s voice calls to you from the other side of the door. “Hey, there’s someone here to see you. Couple people actually.”

“I’ll be out in a bit!” You swivel around in your chair and leap to your feet. As you head out, you decide to check up on Cheelai and the Para bros. ‘Hey, how’s this job working out?’

‘I’ll be honest, boss. A lot easier than the one last week.’ Cheelai replies. ‘Think we’re almost done though. The boys have finished unpacking everything, and I’ve got the paperwork done.’

‘Good good. Snacks back at the castle when you’re all finished.’ That was a good idea. Supply delivery, simple but effective task for them. Finally you get close to the courtyard when- …wait. You sense someone. Is that…?

…

You go from a walk to a sprint as you run towards the door, pushing it open and looking at the pair talking with your mom. “Tapion!” you exclaim.

He turns and smiles. “Hello again, Izumi. It has been a while.”

“Hey Izzy!” Minotia calls out, a wide, friendly grin across his face.

“Haha! Hey, Minotia. What’re you two doing here?” You hurry up to them.

“Supreme Kai has allowed us some time to ourselves, after all we’ve done with our training. We decided to make Earth our first stop back before taking another trip to Konats.” He rubs the back of his neck. “My apologies for not announcing this sooner.”

“Oh it’s quite fine.” Chi-chi tells him. “How long will you be here?”

“Eh, about a day.” Minotia answers.

>A. That’s great! We’ve got a lot to catch up on!

Your smile is almost beaming as you move closer. “That’s great! Oh we have so, so much to catch up on! Like… oh! Did you have to face off with some of the undead a while back too?”

Tapion lets out a nervous laugh. “W-well, not exactly. Minotia and I had to prevent Majin Buu from being brought back while Babidi was still active.”

“Ahhh, they still had that… egg thing I heard about, huh? Well, nice though!” Hoo boy is there ever so much to catch up on. All of you head inside, you going over what happened on Z’S and your encounter with Nazar… aaaaand how you had to help close the portal to Hell, with a final encounter that you get right to the point with. “I faced Hirudegarn again, and re-killed ‘em.”

Tapion and Minotia look to you with mouths agape. “On your own? That’s amazing!”

You can’t help but feel just a little proud, aaaand a little bashful. “Ehehehehe. Still, sounds like we’ve all been through quite a bit. After that, though, there was another thing that happened…”

“Yo boss!” Don Para calls to you. “Mission complete!” Ah, they’re all back.

“Good job! Snacks are down in the kitchen.” you respond, giving a wave. Cheelai waves back, then does a double take when she sees the new pair. The green girl shrugs and walks off with the boys.

Minotia looks over to them with surprise. “…Boss?”

“Weeeell, you know how I mentioned the wannabe treasure hunters? And how Peppa and I arrested them?” You sit back a bit. “Decided they needed a second chance. So they’re basically doing community service, under my watch. Galactic Patrol gave me the okay.” While surprised by this, Tapion seems rather pleased to hear it.

“Wannabe, huh?” Cheelai asks in a faked complaining tone, heading back to you all with a few crackers, cheese, and fruits in a small bowl.

“I mean, you did get caught.” you remind her.

She waves her hand dismissively. “Yeah yeah, sure.” She casually nods at the pair of brothers. “Ey. Guessing you’re two more folks boss, goody-goody that she is, decided to help.” The brothers both laugh, then Cheelai leans in a bit closer to you. “…Or is the tall redhead a liiiiittle something more than that to ya?” she asks in a quiet, teasing tone.

“And why might you be asking that?” you question, raising your eyebrow. She just cackles quietly and walks away, even mom letting out a quiet giggle. “Oi. Oi.”

“W-well…” Tapion thankfully shifts the topic away from that. “As I had said before, we had prevented Babidi from achieving his goal. But there proved to be a bit of… difficulty when we brought back the sword Janemba was sealed into. The power radiating from it finally gave Buu the push over the edge… but to our surprise the Majin didn’t go on a rampage. It was… well, sleeping still.”

“But Gohan managed to handle the situation!” Minotia adds in. “Not only did we find the two Kais that were still inside Buu, but he allowed what little good existed inside it something to latch on to! So when the Kais were exorcised and the chaotic, evil form of Buu still remained, there was still a bit of ‘em left. Now the Majin’s been defeated AND the Kais have been freed. All of this right after winning Grand Kai’s tournament and becoming the Champion of the Heavens.”

“Hah, dang. All that? Cous sounds like he’s been doing exceptionally well in the afterlife.”

Dad nods. “Heh, he’s not letting that halo above his head keep him down, that’s for sure. Sis is gonna be so proud of ‘em.”

“Oh, oh, oh! I think Pantea would like to see you two again too! Think we can squeeze in a visit to her?”

The pair look to one another, then smile and nod. “That would be nice.”

“Nice nice! Buuuut let’s wait a bit before heading there, might be good to check in with them first. Aaaaaaalso, I’ve got something I wanna show you guys.” You stand up and motion for them to follow, leading the pair to the room you were working in. You take up the mini Hakkero you were working on and present it to them. “Ta-daaaa!~ Take a look at this!”

The brothers lean in closer, Tapion surprised and… Minotia trying to act surprised. “Hmm… yes, I see…” He then quietly asks his brother, “Tapion, what is that?”

“It’s a reactor of sorts based on the Hakkero, remember what I was telling you about the ones on Z’S? This is attuned to the one down on Earth.” you explain. “Using this will allow me to better utilize some of the Magics I’ve developed. Hopefully I’ll be able to better utilize my skills going forward with it… without repeating some of the mistakes that come with their misuse. Heh, come to think of it, I bet Pantea will get quite a kick out of this when I visit. Oh, on that note…” You head out of the room and get in contact with her, moving towards your group as you do. “Hey Pantea! Capsule Corp. busy at this time? I’ve got a couple people I think you’d like to meet again.”

“Well I was just now helping mom develop a few more Ki containers, but we might be free. What’s up?”

Ooh, Ki containers! “Just a sec.” Poking your head into the kitchen you check on the four, seeing… Cheelai leaning against a counter watching Don and Bon Para juggle their snacks… wait, no, not just juggle. Are they making them dance? …Yep. They’re making them dance. “Hey guys! Gonna be heading to Capsule Corp. soon, and I think I’ve got another thing for you all to work on.”

Cheelai gives you an annoyed expression. “…We just finished one, boss, come oooon.”

“It’s nothing big, really! Plus it’s some new sights.” You turn back to your phone. “Pantea, mind having them help with the Ki containers a bit? That’ll give you some time to catch up with these two…” You motion for two brothers to speak up.

“Hello again, Pantea.”

“Heeeey! What’s up?”

That changes her tune pretty quick. “Tapion! Minotia! Sure, sure! That’ll be fine. Come on down.”

Cheelai groans. “Boooooss. Come ooooonnnn.”

“You get through with it and I’ll make sure to get you guys something nice afterward. It’s not like I’m asking you all to head into Hell again.”

“...Again?” Tapion repeats.

“Eheh, well, while checking out Earth’s Hakkero…”

You catch them up on the last adventure your group was through along the way to Capsule Corp, and once there you notice that aunt Maple’s also there. Cool. With all of you heading in, Pantea gives the four a pretty simple task: moving materials around the main lab so more Ki containers can be developed. They’re still working on ways to streamline the process and set it for Mass Production, and apparently aunt Maple is using some of this to help with a book she’s been working on.

But anyway, you, Tapion, Minotia, and Pantea head into the building’s atrium to catch up, finding… ah hey! “Giru, 19, hey! Look, we’ve got some old friends back here again for the day.”

“Giru, Giru! Hello Tapion! Hello Minotia!” the tiny robot greets, still sporting his cool new blue color scheme. 19 just gives a nod. The brothers catch the three up on what they told you, adding that, Gohan apparently worked a deal out with King Yemma to prevent future incidents like that from happening… and to help out his grandparents, apparently. You notice Pantea with a very pleased smile on her face as she hears what Gohan’s been up to. Might have to tease her later.

>A. So what else have you been up to, Pantea?
>B. Still liking the paint job, Giru, though you have to get it reapplied or can you switch colors how you want?
>C. 19! How’ve you been? Still spending time with 16 and whatnot?
>D. Something else?

>C. 19! How’ve you been? Still spending time with 16 and whatnot?
>D . Have Pantea check out the Hakkero, maybe she can make magic containers as well or at least come up with some more improvements?
