Last time on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:

After a lunch with surprise guests Turles and Komand’r, Karn met up with Leyas and Sarada just in time to help crush a demon follower of Trigon who’d somehow arrived. After speaking with them Karn took his kids to the lab, just in time to watch a weapons test before one of their developing bio-weapons escaped. After hunting that creature down and finally putting it down, Karn then met another experiment that copies people before leaving the lab of mad science behind to wind down the day sparring against his kids before eating and going to bed. But as we rejoin Karn, you suddenly find yourself wide awake.

“The hell?” you mumble, feeling an uncomfortable sensation almost like an itch on the back of your right hand. Opening your eyes you see it’s sometime in the early predawn, only the emergency lights dimly on. Which stands in sharp contrast to the back of your right hand, demonic seal flaring angrily. Which doesn’t make any sense, as that seal should feel like it’s burning your skin if it’s glowing that bright. Unless someone, somehow is suppressing it! The sudden realization makes your blood run cold, breath catching in your throat as you immediately expand your ki sense. However, despite being unable to sense anyone that doesn’t belong, seeing your demonic seal burning bright tells you something’s wrong. Which is confirmed as you look over at Meloka, her seal glowing bright as well. Something’s here.

“Dammit, this isn’t good!” you think to yourself, carefully grabbing everyone piled on the bed with you and your wife with telekinesis. Slipping out of bed you put them back down, now standing between your bed and the door. Somewhere out there is someone, or something that doesn’t belong in your timeline.

But the question is, what will you do about it?
>Stay here, ready to defend your family if whoever it is isn’t necessarily after you but them
>Lock your family’s room behind you, exit the ship and power up to full power. Hopefully this will draw out the time traveler
>Telepathically reach out to Raven, see if she can locate whoever doesn’t belong
>Focus on the demonic seal itself, and unleash your Supervillain power. Whoever it is better be ready for a beating
>Combine with New Salda again into your Champion form, use New Salda’s awareness to try locating the source of this being who doesn’t belong
>Other(write in)

Dropped that, my bad

Damn it, they got us while we were asleep. We're gonna have to figure out a way around that.

“New Salda, I need your help.” you think, telepathically linking your mind to your planet. As you do power surges, rising into your from your feet and coursing throughout your body. Your awareness widens, letting you sense every living thing on your planet.
“Of course, my champion.” New Salda’s Avatar’s voice booms in your mind. “What is wrong?”
“Someone, or something from another timeline is here.” you reply, focusing on your now fully-awoken ki sense. “Which means trouble.”
“I cannot sense such a disturbance myself.” your planet tells you. “How do you expect to find them?”
“Hopefully I will sense their ki, and not recognize it.” you answer, closing your eyes to help focus. “Then I can teleport right to them.”

Is what you say, but as you focus on your ki sense, you can’t feel anything out of the ordinary. None of the ki signatures you can feel, from the individual blades of grass to the massive powers the likes of yourself, Meloka, or King Vegeta. But nothing you can sense feels distinctly out of place, in fact everything just feels...normal. It feels so normal you actually begin doubting your own instincts, when suddenly you feel it. Not far outside the city, inside the forest you find that you can’t actually sense anything in a small area. None of the trees, none of the grass, nothing. Someone’s actually hiding that area from your New Salda enhanced ki senses somehow. And you’re about to find out who. Focusing on the largest tree by that void in your perception, you raise your right hand’s first two fingers to your forehead, and vanish.

“Well now, this is a surprise.” a hunchbacked, hooded figure resting against a short staff says as you appear. “I had thought the spells I’d woven would have masked my appearance from such alarms, but it would seem they are yet incomplete.”
“Wait, you’re-“ you say, recognizing the voice as a withered blue hand reaches up, and takes off his hood. Before you stands an ancient, wizened demon god powerful enough to openly rival even the Supreme Kai of Time’s abilities.
“Mechikabura, in the flesh.” he says, looking you over. “But now we face a conundrum. I’m certain my presence was completely masked: even if those demonic seals could detect a timeline disturbance you should not have be able to find me, even with your planet’s help. Yet here you are. How did you find me?

Well? How do you proceed?
>Tell him what he wants to know, then ask about your Towa and Future Chaya’s supposed kidnapping

Can we combine those two into one? I mean what could be so important that he personally arrived here?
So:
>>4683585
>Ask what information he’d have to trade, because that knowledge is no doubt very valuable
And asking why is he here.

>>4683614
Asking why he’s here could be what you trade, but didn’t he just answer that?

>>4683585
>Ask what information he’d have to trade, because that knowledge is no doubt very valuable

>>4683619
Wait is mecha really using Karn to test run his stealth spells? It's such an effective idea, I can't even be mad

>>4683623
Wait....fuck, that would make sense, if he gets caught by us then he isn't stealthy enough.

>>4683619
Where? We caught him sneaking in some seemingly non important area. I was thinking that something of great value is hidden nearby, artifact or something. Something he did not trust one of his Towa's or Fu to get it for him.

Honestly about trading information I don't want to trade our info for that thing in particular. Some knowledge that would make Karn stronger would be much better, like when he revealed Divine Dragon Force's "Wish" ability. That kind of thing would be nice.
>>4683623
Wow anon, if that's true then Mechikabura sure is thinking out side the box. I mean using Karn for testing this it's both unexpected and very good.

>>4683625
Quite the opposite really, seems like he was TOO stealthy.
The spell he wove created a blatant deadspot in our perception.
I'm sure it would have worked better if he went about camouflaging himself with some local fauna.

>>4683628
If there's one thing I wanna ask him about, it's about the warning he delivered a while back.
Knowing that Karn Jr. eventually kills Broly one day is nice and all, but we need more details to go off of.

>>4683635
Oh damn I forgot that, which thread did he mention it? When we were coma'd?
Also personally I was hoping to ask either more about the beginning of time or Dumplin's Karn

>>4683635
True, but it's like that vision we got a while ago. The one where we see Meloka trapped in stone in Prophet's throne room. Mechi's warning about Karn Jr may be true, but future may go differently too. We would be selling our info for some vague prophecy of the future, a future that perhaps never becomes real. I think I would like something more concrete and real.

>>4683640
I think we heard it from Broly. Broly said that old blue man visited him in his dream and warned him that one day Karn Jr will kill him.

“Hey now, I can’t just give away all my secrets.” you say, the elder demon god chuckling at this. “If you want to know how I found you, you’re gonna have to trade me something just as valuable.”
“Hmmhmmhmmm, you are wiser than I had given you credit for.” Mechikabura says. “Very well. I have three different pieces of information that you may appreciate, in exchange for the knowledge of how you managed to find me.”

As Mechikabura says this he snaps his fingers, a crystal ball appearing in his hand. He offers it to you, you walking up and taking it in both hands. Then as he speaks, you see visions of what he’s talking about appear inside the orb.

“First, is how to reach the next level of your Berserker transformation line, that Super Saiyan 3 form as you call it.” he says, you seeing another Saiyan transforming into a hulking emerald Super Saiyan Three, and attacks a pair of blue-haired Saiyans. Then it changes, revealing a very familiar crater. “Second, I know the secrets of that Soulstone you carry, and how to use it’s power to the fullest extent. A Bloodstone turning into a Soulstone is a rare occurrence, and unfortunately for you that shard of true Dark won’t be able to tell you the depths of that power.”
“Wait, there’s more to the Soulstone?” you ask, surprised. “It’s more than a power store?”
“It is so much more than a simple energy reservoir.” Mechikabura says with an almost serpentine grin. “But before you decide, perhaps you’ll wish to know the last choice I offer?”
“Of course.” you reply, feeling a little embarrassed as the visions inside the orb change again. You see what looks like some sort of machine-but-also-organic hybrid creature floating in some sort of liquid, connected by several wires.

“There is a creature currently being created in your universe, and if it is completed, could exterminate your entire race.” he says, your blood running cold. “I can tell you not only who is creating this destroyer, but what planet this creature is on. So, what will it be Karn? I can tell you any, no. Any two of these I will share with you, in exchange for how you found me. What do you say? I believe this trade to be more than generous enough.”

Even if we know where it is and who's making it, it's not gonna be as simple as going over there and blowing up the planet.
It never is.
Regardless, knowing what it is and who's making it will help us when it actually becomes a problem, which it almost assuredly will be.

>>4683757
Baby was the fucking worst to fight in GT, that is a headache we can't ignore when we don't have Dragonballs.

>>4683767
I mean, desu, he's already given us a lot by telling us of number 3's existence. We could begin immediately spending resources scouring the universe, and it's not like Mecha planet was a particularly hidden project from what iirc. Frieza's broadcast though will probably make the good doctor and his machines go deeper into hiding however

Side note for everyone.... what stops us from just asking Towa what the creature is in our future like she did Hatchiyak?

>>4683767

>>4683828
I mean, cool. You do you anon, that's okay

>>4683839
Speaking of him, is Karsfag still around? I haven’t seen Kars being brought up by any anon lately.

>>4683845
Oh he's still around, he was talking about how he told us all that we should have stomped Kars when we could have when GD revealed how strong Kars was

>>4683845
That's because Kars isn't brought up. He still needs to die, but that can be fixed later when it comes up.

>>4683847
Still right about that by the way. He's going to get in the way of Freeza taking over the universe.

>>4683847
>>4683850
I actually do agree with Karsfag that Kars does need to be put down, preferably before he decides to replace Shin. He’d probably do a better job as Supreme Kai, but I like Shin more, in an endearing sort of way.

>>4683857
I mean, honestly Shin sucks not of his own fault, but he stood aside as the splitjaws broke the terms of agreement, so I don't care for him anymore. He's also arrogant beyond belief and squishier than a GoD lifeline has any right to be.

“It is very generous.” you say, pondering your options. Knowing how to reach Berserker 3 could be useful information, wether or not you decide to take that path or another. Knowing what it takes to reach that pinnacle is vital information. And since he’s already told you of a creature being made, you can ask Towa another time what and where it could be by viewing other timelines. But the most important information he could give you is the Soulstone. No doubt such a thing is highly powerful, and could have many secrets. “I want to know of the Soulstone, and also how one reaches the next level of Berserker.”

“Interesting. You choose not to know of a coming threat, in favor for knowledge of the power you may need to face it.” Mechikabura says, and from the small smile he gives seems to approve of your choice. “Very well. I shall explain the next level of your transformations first, as it’s the more simple of the two. There are two separate paths that could lead you to that form. One, is decades of continual work mastering your Ascended form, turning that transformation into a form you hold effortlessly. As your wife has, with her Super Saiyan 3. Unfortunately she cannot take that transformation any further on her own. But the other way for you to ascend to that tier requires nothing more than five of your fellow Super Saiyans.”

“Wait, what?” you say aloud, realizing everything he’d just told you was with telepathy. So after your outburst you reply in kind. “Sorry, but what?”
“So you don’t know.” he replies, chuckling aloud. “What I mean is the Super Saiyan God ritual. But with your, you call it Berserker form, correct? That unique form will cause the ritual to fail, and instead of creating a Super Saiyan God, will catapult you directly to that level of power.”
“No way. You mean to tell me I can take a form requiring decades of work in an instant?” you ask him, astonished. But then your brain kicks in, and realize there has to be a catch. “But what’s the drawback? Gaining that kinda power can’t possibly be free like that. Can it?”
“The Super Saiyan God ritual, when done correctly, does exhaust all participants who lend their sparks to the newly formed deity. Or monster.” Mechikabura tells you. “Also, such a sudden transformation without the training would make it...Considerably difficult to control.”
“Oh, I get it.” you answer. “So when I transform using that ritua, I will be struggling to control that anger again like the very first time. That’s good to know.”
“And now, for the far more important knowledge.”

“To turn a Bloodstone into a Soulstone requires the channeling of an intense amount of energy, as well as the sacrifice of several souls.” Mechikabura says, you watching your near-death in that blast after killing the second Arbiter in third person then the crater emerging from the blast changed. “Which you’re well aware of. However, acting as an energy store is the least of what it can do. Transmuting materials, healing sicknesses, creating homunculi, summoning ever-burning flames, lengthening one’s lifespan, the impossibilities one can craft with Carmot are near-limitless.”

“You mean it can do all that?” you ask, Mechikabura smirking and snapping his fingers. And in his open hand appears your piece of the Soulstone, it hovering an inch above his palm. Then he lets go of his staff, it standing upright where he left it, and with his fingernails pinches off a small corner of the stone. He then tosses the rest of it back to you, which you catch as he uses telekinesis to lift a stone smaller than his palm up to the tiny piece. Mechikabura then drives that sliver into the stone. Before your eyes the stone begins changing, becoming a more shiny and silvery color. He studies the stone a moment before smirking, tossing it to you as well. It’s heavier than a normal stone it’s size should be, seemingly more metallic than it was.

“Stone to silver, a transmutation sought by many civilizations throughout the ages.” he says, then retakes his staff. “I believe that has answered my end of the deal. Now, how did you detect me?”

Well, we may not be able to, but I think Chilli would definitely take the time to figure out how to work the Soulstone if we brought it up with him.
I'm sure a project like that is exactly what he needs to take his mind off things right now.

>>4684231
Honestly looking through what a philosopher's stone can do he may not get much mileage out of it either. The extended life and cureall is good at least.

>>4684238
>The extended life and cureall is good at least.
But can it cure the bitch virus Cooler has?

>>4684263
Unfortunately that can only be cured by a regular dosage of ass-beatings and reality checks.
As it so happens, Dr. Karn can fill that prescription.

“A deal’s a deal.” you answer, then clench your fists and flare your aura up a bit before pointing the back of your right hand to him. “First, it was this that woke me up.” you tell him. “I could feel it warning me even while I was asleep, despite that being suppressed. Which I’m assuming was your doing.”
“Assumed correctly.” he says with a nod.
“Figured so.” you reply, then continue. “Anyways, the only way I noticed you was with New Salda’s help.”
“Despite the extra perception of a Champion’s link, neither of you should have been able to sense me.” he replies, then looking almost behind you. “No offense intended, of course.”

“None taken.” New Salda replies to him, the planet’s voice booming through the mental link. “I could not sense you myself, only my champion could.”
“Well I didn’t exactly sense you.” you tell him. “What I sensed was whatever your stealth ability is.”
“Wait, you sensed my stealth?” he asks. “You have no magical ability, yet could sense my stealth magic?”
“I didn’t sense your magic.” you tell him. “But I also couldn’t sense the grass by your feet. Whatever stealth ability you are employing has a radius. With New Salda’s help I can sense the ki of all living things, even those as minuscule as an individual blade of grass.”

“And with my spell, everything immediately around me would appear as a dead spot to your enhanced senses.” Mechikabura says as understanding dawns in him. “I see. You’re far more perceptive than even I gave you credit for. Thank you for this Karn, I knew I was right coming here.”
“Wait, what?” you ask, suddenly confused. “Hold on a minute, why did you come here?”
“Was for this conversation. Until we meet again.” he says with a confident smirk, then without another word vanishes.
“The hell?” you say, just confused by it all. Why was he here, just to talk to you? But you just shake your head, and thank New Salda for the help. However the sky’s still dark, and from the looks of it will be so for several hours yet.

So what do you do?

Since Chilli has his spellbook of death magic, can he find a spell in there that would summon a spirit of a deceased person?
I'm thinking about the scientist who made the Puzzle Box. Maybe we could ask him about it.

“Thanks again for your help.” you tell New Salda, and let the powerful Champion aura fade as you turn back towards the ship and get ready to go back. But all the talk of magic brings Chilli to mind, and that he’s getting married here soon. And remembering back to your own marriage with Meloka, certain people had given you gifts. So you decide that you’ll do the same thing for your son, and instead of heading back towards the ship lift off straight up into the air. But as you do a cold wind blows, letting you realize you’re still undressed. Knowing you’re going underground where it can be colder you press the first two fingers to your head, and teleport back to your wife’s side.

“What’s goin’ on?” she asks you with a whisper, your noticing your wife’s already spread her energy across the room to turn it into a death trap. “Felt my seal suddenly start itching, woke up, and you were gone.”
“Mechikabura showed up.” you think to her. “He showed up just to test his stealth abilities against me, but I managed to find him.”
“Hmph. Some god then.” she scoffs aloud, Karn Jr stirring in his sleep. She then turns her focus to your son, coddling and cooing him until he settles back down as you start getting dressed. “Hey, where are you going?”
“Just gonna hop down into the labyrinth for a bit, maybe I’ll find something for Chilli’s marriage.”
“Don’t take too long now, kay?” she asks with a yawn, settling back into bed as you pull your boots on. “An’ be careful down there, heard someone say there’s still things walking around down there.”
“I’ll be fine hun.” you say, but toss both your sword and hammer across your back anyways. No need to be reckless. “I’ll be back before breakfast, okay?”

“Mrrhrmm.” she mumbles sleepily, you heading out the door. Now armed and ready for whatever manner of creature is still lurking down there, you make your way out of the ship and take to the skies. Looking around from your high vantage point you find the clearing with the darker darkness than the starry night sky illuminates, and take off towards it. You fly over towards the crater, but when you’re only a hundred or so feet away feel a sudden surge of ki as a figure below is suddenly engulfed in blazing golden energy. You watch the figure fly up at you, recognizing the familiar woman as she gets close.

“Hold on, this area’s off limi-Karn?” Cele asks, the young woman who’d become a Super Saiyan years ago asks you. “What’re you doing here?”

“Headed down into the hole, looking for something for my son.” you tell her. “He’s getting married soon, so I need to find him something he’d like.”
“You know, King Vegeta declared the whole area off-limits before we left for the war, right?” she asks you. “But it’s not like I can stop you yet, I haven’t mastered this form.”

And to your surprise her power doubles as she suddenly Ascends in a burst of sparks.

“Woah, that’s impressive!” you say, feeling genuinely impressed with her surge of power. “Hadn’t expect you to reach this level already.”
“Oh save it old man, and go on already.” she says, reverting back to her base form. “But just know that I’m coming for you, and one day I’ll be the one who surpasses both you and King Vegeta.”
“Whenever you’re ready to challenge me, bring it on.” you say, holding your right fist towards her. Which she scoffs at, but after a moment meets your fist with her own before flying back down towards the ground. You fly down as well, transforming into your emerald Super Saiyan form to light your way as you pass her. Flying down into the darkness, you see where you’d fought that immortal dragon skeleton along with Freeza, and saw King Vegeta’s Primal Saiyan form for the first time. Touching down on the stone ground you look around, flaring your green aura up to illuminate the darkness. Finding a tunnel’s entrance you head off that way, walking deeper into the ancient M’lurnian ruins.

Which you’d forgotten is built like an enormous maze. Walking down the empty halls you find what appear to be several suits of armor smashed on the ground, scattered about randomly through the halls. You vividly remember fighting the sentinels they’d built, shaking your head at the memory and continue traveling. Yet after what feels like an hour of wandering around in the dark you still haven’t found anything interesting. Then suddenly feel a vibration in your Soulstone shard, pulling it out of your boot and holding it in your hand. The gem turns inky dark, blackness pouring off of it and coalescing into an all-too familiar form.

“Aaah haaaa haaaa haaaa haaaaa!” Aku says, pouring out of the stone and forming his body’s most familiar shape. “Greetings, Karn! I have returned!”
“Aku? What’re you doing here?” you ask him, feeling more than a little worried. “What happened?”
“I was studying the Soulstone, back on Sanghelios, when moments ago there was a surge of magical energy throughout the stone! But not only that, it was demonic power on a resonance I have never felt before. I was coming to make sure you were alright, once that ominous power within the gem faded. Fortunately, it would seem you are alright. Do you know what happened?”

Well?

“Yeah, but I shouldn’t say.” you tell him, tapping the side of your head and thinking to him instead. “Never know who’s listening. We had a visitor from another timeline, and he was explaining to me a bit about what the Soulstone can do.”
“Ooooh? I have been studying this stone for a bit, I doubt some backwater demon knows more than what I’ve discovered.” he says, sounding quite sure of himself. “What was it’s name?”
“Mechikabura.” you tell him telepathically. And Aku freezes, eyes widening comically large as his flaming eyebrows go out.

“WWWHHHHAAAAAAAAAAATT?!!!” Aku shouts in shock, leaning waaay back from you. “Impossible! He is dead, and has been so for more than four dozen cycles.”
“Cycles of what-no never mind.” you say aloud, shaking your head. “But it’s true, he’s out there now trying to usurp the Supreme Kai of Time.”
“This is troubling news, Karn.” Aku says worriedly. “I have to go, there are things I must do immediately. Stay safe Karn.”

And at this he begins folding into himself, until he vanishes right before your eyes. His reaction worries you a bit, making you wonder if you’re underestimating Mechikabura. But you shake your head at this chuckling to yourself. After what Future Chaya told you of his power, there isn’t anything you could actually reasonably do to stop him. If he wants you dead, you’re dead, plain and simple. But from how helpful he’s been to you, he clearly doesn’t want you dead. What could he be planning then? You shake off your worries and doubts, instead focusing on the here and now and searching deeper and deeper down into the M’lurnian ruins. Using your ki senses you can judge about how deep down you are, and realize you’re far deeper beneath New Salda’s surface than ever before. The further down you go, you find more and more of the statue soldiers’ remains. But as you travel down the halls you eventually come to what appears to be a dead end.

“Dammit.” you say, ready to turn around and search down a different path, but something seems odd about this dead end. Walking closer, the stones of the wall seem to be forming an arched doorway inside the wall, and the stone of the floor up to it appears shinier and more worn than the surrounding stone. Narrowing your eyes, you pull back your right fist and swing for the wall. Your fist strikes the wall, but instead of striking anything the apparent stone vanishes in a puff of white smoke! “Whaa-!?”

Not encountering any resistance throws you off balance, you taking a half-step forward to keep your balance. But since the floor’s lower in here than outside, you stumble and fall into the room beyond. But looking up, you feel your jaw drop.

Looking up from the ground, you find yourself in a surprisingly large, circular room. Spaced equidistant around the perimeter are a dozen of the sentinel statues, but unlike the ones above these don’t move. However, on the ground between a stone throne with a crown-wearing emancipated corpse and yourself appears to be some oddly-shaped stone. But as you get back up on your feet, you realize something’s wrong. That stone is moving. Dust falls from the rock as it rises up into the shape of a man, the almost dusty, stale smell of a long-dead corpse wafting over to you as it turns around. The stone creature wields a massive curved club in it’s right hand, and a rectangular-ish slab of stone in it’s left. Then the figure begins walking, or more accurately lumbering towards you. Whatever’s inside that suit is clearly struggling to move in it.

“I’ll give you one chance to back down, before I end you.” you say, leveling your left hand’s pointer finger at the creature’s head. But it seems undeterred, continuing to slog slowly forward. “Well, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

With a small effort you fire a Death Beam from your fingertip, it striking the stone helmet true. But to your surprise your beam reflects off, noticeably weakened, to punch into the stone ceiling.

“What?” you say, surprised as the figure doesn’t even slow down while continuing to approach you. Focusing your ki again you fire off a Death Slash, which to your even greater shock simply shatters against the warrior’s stone shield. Whatever sort of stone that armor is made of, it’s seriously no joke. Perhaps you found something for Broly as well while you were down here? But as you were contemplating the creature took two more steps closer, then dropped the weapon off it’s shoulder while pulling it back. Then with explosive power swings the mighty club over it’s own head. At once every single instinct in you screams in terror, absolutely certain that if that weapon smashes you like this, you will die.

But what do you do?

“Hyaaa!” you shout, launching yourself forward and into a roll under his right arm as he swings the hammer down. You narrowly avoid the weapon, it smashing the ground where you were standing as you roll up to your feet. Spinning counterclockwise back around to face the stone knight while gathering your ki into your right hand, you form a Piercing Fist as you launch yourself at the warrior’s back. Your ki’s piercing point smashes into his stone back, yet to your surprise doesn’t pierce into it! All your blow manages to do is stagger the warrior, who then immediately pivots and swings the weapon overhead at you again. “Shit!”

Again you leap past the warrior to his right, and again his swing narrowly misses you. This time the floor is trembling from the blow as you land, several sharp cracks ringing through the stale air as you turn back towards him. That armor is no joke, you can’t take a light jab again. So this time you dash up, grab it’s left shoulder in your left hand, and drive your fist into it’s back with all the force you can muster. This blow, despite still not penetrating that armor knocks the knight from his feet and sends him sprawling to the ground.

“What the hell is that thing made of?” you mutter, looking at your fist as it slowly makes it’s way back upright. However, as it does you see something gleaming by the corpse’s hand son the throne. Letting the stone soldier take it’s time standing you instead dash over to the throne, and find what look to be a pair of curved, ivory weapon handles clutched in it’s dead hands. Looking at them you’re reminded of another hook-handled weapon you’ve seen before and smirk, knowing that this’ll certainly make a good gift for your son. But you have to finish your fight first. Turning around as the warrior returns to it’s feet you try sensing it with your ki sense, but of course feel nothing from the armor. If someone was alive in there, they died a long time ago “Alright, let’s end this.”

As if in response the armored suit drops the shield to the ground, instead clutching the large hammer with both hands as it begins walking towards you again. You match the suit’s pace, it walking to just within it’s range when the stone warrior attacks. Pulling the weapon back behind it your foe launches into a counterclockwise spin, you leaping above the hammer as it swings around towards you. Then after one revolution the warrior twists, swinging the weapon in an almighty overhead blow that could easily fell the other sentinels with a single strike. Yet again you dodge, flipping and twisting aside to narrowly dodge the club. Again the floor cracks as his weapon strikes, but this time the sound is accompanied by a deep groaning under the floor. That can’t be good.

But you don’t waste any time, landing behind the armored suit and kicking it’s left knee out from under it. Your strike knocks it down to that knee, you grabbing it under the helmet with your left hand while focusing even more power into your attack. Your Piercing Fist Mk.II spins around your fist as you drive it up between the stone slabs, stabbing deep into the fighter’s back. And to your surprise somehow blood sprays from the wound, accompanied by a ghostly, almost ethereal groaning. And as you pull your fist back the soldier collapses limply and doesn’t move, the last of it’s fight beaten from the armor. You sigh out and end your Mk.II Piercing Fist, walking back up to the corpse upon the throne and give it another look. The two ivory handles are intricately carved, and with there being two thay’s one for each of them, but when you grab one a shimmering blade of blue energy suddenly sprouts from its carved tip.

“Woah!” you say, so surprised you almost drop the handle in shock. But you fight that urge, looking over the weapon and it’s spectral blade a moment before setting it back down. You found it, what could be a better gift for him than unfound weapons hidden away for who knows how long? Your work down here is done. But now that you’ve found what you’re looking for, what now? Where will you put them until it’s time for the wedding?

With where to store the artifacts until the wedding decided, you again reach for the weapons. But as you do another tremendous crack comes from the floor beneath your feet, and the entire room shakes. Quickly you reach for the weapons, but not quickly enough as the entire floor gives way! And right as you’re touching the weapons they drop, fingers closing on nothing but air.

“Shit!” you seethe, chasing down the prizes as they drop down into the void away from you. With the weapons spinning end over end you study them carefully for a moment, making sure you won’t impale yourself with their suddenly generated blades. But you get your timings right, catching both weapons without stabbing yourself. As they both generate their luminous blades the pit becomes exceptionally darker, allowing you to see the dropping shield as well. Carefully you pass the weapon to your tail, the blade going out as your hand is no longer holding it. With the weapon now secured to your right side, you catch the shield by the handles on the inside. But it’s heavier than you’d expected, and instead of stopping instantly it drags you down through the air a foot or so before stopping, right into the path of the left’s blade. Which, surprisingly, doesn’t even scratch the shield, instead simply glancing off it without leaving a scratch. “Oh yeah, Broly will certainly like this.”

After akwardly floating in the void a moment while everything continues dropping into the depths, you manage to position your right hand’s first two fingers to your forehead. Then focusing on Cele’s energy as it’s the closest, you teleport out of the labyrinth. Your sudden appearance startles the younger woman, flashing up into a Super Saiyan as she stumbles back.

“Shit, fu-Karn? Again?” she says heatedly upon recognizing you. “What the hell? I know you can talk telepathically, give me a fucking warning before just appearing like that.”
“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.” you say, lowering your hand and reverting to your base form as she does the same. “I’ll be headed out now.”
“Wait, hold on.” she says, eyes narrowing. “We’ve been cataloging what’s still down there, and I haven’t seen any stone shields or glowing swords. Where did you find that stuff?”

Well?

Well what else would we do?

>>4685559
Well, if I remember correctly, training with Karn's disciples is supposed to resume today.
Remember? We invited B7 to train along with us too.

>>4685564
I meant what else would we tell her, but good work keeping up the schedule.

>>4685538
That the scaling tuned absolute bonkers the moment Frieza powered up for the first time.
The Ginyu Force was the most feared team in the universe, in Vegeta's opinion at least, and Captain Ginyu had a powerlevel of 120,000, then Frieza comes in and claims he has a powerlevel of 1 million in his second form, and later he's performed 2 more transformations and claims to still only be using 1% of his true power.
By that logic we suddenly jump from 120,000 being the "ultimate feared force of the universe" to Frieza having a powerlevel of at least 100 million.
If Frieza really is that much stronger than Ginyu, why the fuck is he even using subordinates??

>>4685574
Well he's an evil overlord so he needs to flaunt his superiority by having the best minions. And you can't be everywhere at once. Also he's kinda lazy.

It's really not hard to figure out why someone would want soldiers even if they could solve every problem they come across in like a fraction of a second.

>>4685574
>If Frieza really is that much stronger than Ginyu, why the fuck is he even using subordinates??
Because one man cannot be everywhere. Especially if they are lazy, or prefer to not get their hands dirty with the “grunt work.” However, Freeza’s come a long way from “kill the filthy monkeys” to “shoots a political advisor for calling Karn a monkey”. And this jump in power was much more earned, starting at a powerlevel less than 3000 more than 15 years ago in-quest(almost 4 years IRL now)

>>4685584
What's hard to figure out is why they went from 120,000 to 100 million to probably 10 billion by the time cell became perfect.
It got to the point where they just stopped mentioning powerlevels completely.
It doesn't make sense that Ginyu is so feared when the universe is fucking filled with people that could sneeze and kill him.
That's my point, just the scaling is off, Frieza should've been just a million when he was completely powered up, instead of increasing the levels 100's of times over for every arc.

>>4685587
Yes, that's proper scaling, and what I would've wanted from the actual Dragon Ball universe.

I want to clarify Freeza’s original absurd powerlevel wasn’t changed, he was(and still is) the hurdle Karn’s aspiring to surpass. He did pass Freeza for awhile, but then this transformation happened. Again though, with actual training and not “lol spent four months beating a weakling like a punching bag”

“That’s kinda a long story, so hope you’re ready.” you say, and begin telling her what happened. But you don’t get far, Cele interrupting when you bring up the wall that wasn’t a wall.
“Hold on, you say the wall simply vanished?” she asks, suddenly serious. “Not a wall you punched to smithereens, but looked like it turned to smoke?”
“Like smoke and vanished, exactly.” you say, realization dawning. “Wait. That isn’t the first one of these down there, is it?”
“The one you found today marks the eight, since the hole was opened.” she says, after checking a datapad. “And you said it was at a dead end, right?”

“Yeah, centered at the end of a hallway. Inside there was a circular room, unmoving sentinels around the room and at the far end was a throne with a really old, shriveled corpse holding these.” you say, and gesture to the sword in your left as well as the one on your right hip. But something was alive, some sort of soldierwho was holding this shield, had armor built like it, and was swinging around a giant hammer. The hammer strikes to the floor broke it, and the entire room dropped down into darkness. Dunno what’s down there, but I think I put the knight down for good. After my last hit, and before the floor gave way, he didn’t get back up.”
“Thanks, I’ll make sure the dive teams are made aware.” she says, but glances to the shield. “But why’d you take that? It’s not like even I couldn’t break it in one hit, much less you.”

“If you wanna take a shot, be my guest.” you say, setting the ivory sword hilt on the ground and grabbing the shield with both hands. “If you think you’re stronger than me, go for it.”
“Hmph. Try this!” she shouts, immediately Ascending in a burst of power and pulling her arms back in a familiar stance. “Galick Gun!!”

You simply brace yourself, trying to fit as much of your own body behind the shield as you can, then her attack hits. And hits like a cannon, her Ascended powerlevel more than double your own base. But you hold firm, letting the attack push you away from the pit instead of trying to match her transformed power with your base form’s. And after a few seconds, it’s over. Cele ends the purplish pinkish beam, left panting as you peek out around it to make sure she isn’t going to try something else.

“What? The hell?” she pants, dropping her arms and transformation. “What the fuck man, what is that made of?”
“Looks like some kinda stone to me.” you tell her, walking back over and picking the ivory blade off the ground where you’d set it, well clear of the blast. “But I dunno, something doesn’t feel right. There’s more to this thing.”

>>4685591
Well no one knew there were stronger things than Ginyu and Frieza around. Everything that was tended to be sealed, super fucking ancient and basically a myth, or just unknown to people.

And why wouldn't you be afraid of something just because something stronger exists? You should still be afraid of a puma even though lions exist. I still treat a .22 with respect even though .44 mag is right down the street.

Sure the scaling may be pointlessly big but your arguments against it are kind of meh. And the numbers themselves were never actually important anyway.

“And you said there was something wearing armor made of that stuff down there too?” she asks, you nodding. “Now I know what to send them down there after. Thanks for taking the time to help me get a report down.”
“Of course, no problem.” you tell her, lifting up into the sky. “If you need help clearing anything out down there, let me know.”

And before waiting on an answer take off, dashing towards Raven’s Island. As you fly, you notice hints of the early morning dawn coming from over the ocean. How long were you down there for? But you can worry about that later, as you see the island and begin touching down. Unsurprisingly she’s sitting upon, or rather floating a foot above the previous Guardian’s perching rock, sitting and meditating with her face towards the sun.

“Good morning Karn.” she says, without opening her eyes or turning towards you. “Well done, catching our time invader.”
“Thanks. And appreciate the backup.” you tell her, knowing full-well she was undoubtedly awake and ready to help at a moment’s notice. “Can you do me a favor, and hold onto these for me for a bit?”

As you ask, you set the shield down in the sand and draw both the ivory handled weapons from your tail holding them. And as you hold them, energy bursting from their points into twin blades, you feel the first rays of the morning sun break the horizon and begin warm your face. Taking a deep breath you feel actually relaxed, your body not constantly on high alert for another assassin, enemy Stand user, or other trouble. Which is of course why your instincts suddenly warn you of something dropping from above, you leaping back as an Attack Pod crashes into the beach where you were standing. Now who the hell could this be?

So we’ll be continuing this episode next Saturday at noon EST, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

I enjoy the fact that "Havel" didn't immediately eat shit as soon as we got the first backstab on him.
I hesitate to say that was actually Havel in that armor though. I'd imagine he'd still insist on using miracles even as a hollow.

>It doesn't make sense that Ginyu is so feared when the universe is fucking filled with people that could sneeze and kill him
In canon the vast majority of people have a PL under 10k, so there really weren't that many who could match Ginyu. Other than Babidi's goons and the Galactic patrols toughest criminals most people would get flattened. So I can totally understand his squad's reputation being what it was.
The power-inflation definitely got out of hand, I think Toriyama said in an interview he wanted to make Super Saiyan something like a 10X increase but then realized he made Freeza too strong so he had to buff it.
A non-canon system that I personally like is that the transformation isn't actually a multiplier, it just adds about 150M as a reservoir of power onto whatever the fighter already has (so since Goku was about 3M at the time he first used it, it was a 50X "multiplier", but later it was less).The boost then increases if you unlock the ascended forms and SS2, and you can also train to increase your non-transformed power separately.
That way no matter who the Super Saiyan is, they stand a good chance to defeat untrained Freeza, making his canon thoughts concerning the transformation all the more interesting.

You say that, but I distinctly remember bleach's hollows often trying and sometimes succeeding to hunt living people that have strong spiritual energy.
I'm not sure what that would translate to in this quest, though. Ki? Stand Power? Who the fuck knows, maybe it's just one more thing that qualifies as its own shit.
Well, at any rate, I doubt they'd try to fuck with anything on New Salda. Saiyans are pretty scary when you consider them against every other species in this universe.

>>4685718
Probably magic, not Ki, since magic is energy of the soul. Chilli would probably have to deal a lot more with them than Karn, but I imagine Raven takes care of most Hollow shit on New Salda.

>>4685718
My money's on the force or the little kernels of godhood that everyone has. Either way an actual meal for them would be about as rare as it is in bleach

>Other than Babidi's goons
Which he scoured the recesses of space for. Take Yakon, who he found on a Dark Planet. A planet that no light reaches. How far out do you have to go from a star for that? And then there’s Dabura. The literal King of the Demon Realm, which isn’t even on the same plane of existence that mortals inhabit. So of course a team who’s leader is anywhere from 10-100x stronger than your planet’s absolute strongest is terrifying. But here’s a number for scale. Vegeta’s Oozaru form, Saiyan saga, is as powerful as Goku’s Kaio-Ken against Ginyu, 60k stronger. And THAT is why the Saiyan’s were as feared as they were.
I remember that interview note.

Oh shit....oooooohhh...forgot about that...I know being filled with Dark cause mutations, but with how many souls she has is that gonna do anything to her or the Stand?

Having an overflow of souls doesn’t hurt the wielder, but the do have to carry that weight. And I will say that having more souls will attract beings that feast on them. But considering she’s able to fight and defeat ganks from beings capable of killing old gods, she’ll probably be fine. Right?

>Saiyans are terrifying, especially now that they have unlocked one of their greatest racial advantages. The rest of the universe be looking at Saiyans like this is Xenoverse 1.
Thats honestly a fun little plot thread you could mess with GD. What the fuck was the Cardinal/Grand Supreme Kai smoking when they decided to make something as busted as the Saiyans? Obviously the way their built, with the many different transformations, natural battle instincts/craving for fighting, their omnivorous diet with a stomach capable of eating dead aliens raw, and a decent breeding rate, that they were DESIGNED to be fighters....but that brings into question, what were the peace loving Supreme Kai dealing with, that they created a race such as the Saiyans to deal with it?

>>4685864
Buu

>>4685868
Nah doesn't make sense. Buu is a singular threat that has to be dealt with a singular massive force, throwing hordes of powerful people at him just means he eats you, gets stronger, and then starts eating more people.

Not to mention that Buu basically jumped the Supreme Kais. They wouldn't have time to make an entire species. Now, if you said they were made to fight The Flood, then you might be on to something.

>>4685873
Demons bro.

>>4685864
They’re a template race, I assume. Appear in multiple universes, genetically compatible with other species, and good potential for replacement GoDs given their nature

File: Z (18).jpg (37 KB, 480x348)

37 KB JPG

>>4685864
Don't forget that they're capable of interbreeding with races that developed completely separately from them lightyears away.
My guess is that it was an effort by the Kais to raise the general mortal power quotient (a metric important enough for Zeno to choose which universes were included in the ToP based on their rankings)
Introducing a race as stupidly strong as the Saiyans as well as making them capable of mixing with other races results in a massive boost in overall powerlevel provided there isn't some catastrophe that wipes out most life in the Universe (like Buu)

>>4685864
And on episode 152, nearly four years in, anon finally asks the most important question of all: why are we here?
Not only their own transformations, but the transformations they gain when empowered by the divine. How many other species can craft their own deities? And more specifically, create one without consuming hundreds of millions of souls?
>>4685868
Buu was an ambush
>>4685873
That’s arguably worse than Buu. Flood Saiyans.
>>4685874
May be onto something. Saiyans are expressly stated to be able to fight in almost any conditions nature can conceive. How many other species do you know are that adaptable?
>>4685887
If they were a template, then why do they only exist in the twinned 6th and 7th universes? And speaking of, the twinned universes are important for a reason.
>>4685896
Saiyans aren’t nearly the slut race that humans are
