You swivel around in a chair as Pantea finishes explaining what she’s learned about a little bug thing Peppa brought to her the other day. “…But still don’t know how to get into the network they’re using. It doesn’t keep any backup saves of what it records, it’s almost like the information just… disappears into the void. Which makes the more mundane parts of this spy robot all the stranger in the contrast.”

“Think it’s using some kind of Magic?” you ask, giving the chair another swivel. You don’t know why but you always loved spinning around in these things.

“That was my first guess, but there’s nothing really lingering on it. Maybe it shorted out when Peppa flicked that candy at it?” She leans back in her own chair, sighing softly. “Well, in any case, mom will be looking it over with some other folks.”

“Back to our plan, then.” You stop spinning and strike a cool pose in the chair, hands together, looking all relaxed and everything. “You said you had some tag team ideas?”

“I did, yes!” Pantea stands up and nods. “I’ve got a few ideas, actually. Since we both know what we each are capable of, we can start on some actual combo moves.Though I also am a little curious about that ‘Nazar’ figure you encountered a while back. Ooooor…” She holds out a few DVD cases of girls in fanciful outfits with big, bold, overly cutsey titles. “I’ve got a few more things we can, ahem, ‘research’ in order to see what else your Mahou power is capable of.”

>A. Let’s focus on the practical. Get some real combo moves going
>B. Oh I am always up for some more ‘research.’ Looks like a couple new ones, too!
>C. Aha, you wanna hear more about Nazar, huh? Well we could definitely plan a trip. Oh, maybe even work my team’s community service into it if the Galactic Patrol gives the OK on that!

You leap up from your chair and grin wide. While it’s quite tempting to bring her along to meet Nazar, this looks FUN. “Well well well, what do we have here?~” you ask as you look them over. One has a girl in a more frilly outfit with whites and pinks and some sort of magical wand, but also several curious cards around her, kinda long and slender like Tarot. Another has two girls on the front, a gingerish blonde in a predominantly black outfit alongside a girl with deep blue hair in a predominantly white getup, the both of them surprisingly in martial arts stances. And the last has a brunette girl in a white and blue outfit that… strangely reminds you of those Gundam shows dad and aunt Maple like so much.

“I went for a bit more variety this time.” Pantea explains. “As fun as finishing up our other series has been, this will probably prove a bit more useful in figuring out some tag team stuff. And generally what you can do with your abilities that you might not have thought of before. You know, do some thinking outside the box.”

“Well what are we waiting for?! Let’s get to it!” you declare.

After getting through a few episodes of each, with Cheelai and the boys even stopping by to watch some with you both (Cheelai pretending to be a bit too cool for them at the start, but slowly getting more invested), you start to get a few ideas. The first series had a young girl trying to capture monsters released from magical cards, gaining abilities as she defeats more monsters and regains more cards. The second is a two girl team series kind of deal, with the duo actually surprisingly martial arts focused. Some of their skills kinda remind you of how your friends and family fight; whoever was in charge of the series’ production clearly did their homework. And lastly, while the third show takes a bit to really kick off, kinda monster of the week as the protagonist tries to magic crystals, a cool and mysterious blonde rival character with an energy scythe upends things pretty hard, the protagonist growing not just in power but surprisingly enough in tactical skill as well.

Although along the way Cheelai does keep up some commentary. “Why DO these things have to dedicate so much time to playing magical dress-up?”

“Abstraction for the viewers, mostly. They don’t take especially long in real time.” Pantea replies. “…That and they kinda help pad out the episodes.” she adds in a hushed tone.

Cheelai glances over at you, raising an eyebrow. “…Is this true?”

“I mean when I do it it barely takes any time at all. Lasts for like, a couple short musical notes.” you tell her. Still don’t really know why it does that but hey you like it. Hmm. Maybe you can modify it to be longer, blasting out some cool theme music when you transform. Yeeaaaah. That’d be awesome.

In any case, this does give you some ideas…

>A. See if you can somehow imbue your Mahou power’s Magic into smaller constructs, stuff you can share with others
>B. Okay Pantea, seeing how coordination might be the key to winning the tag tournament, might there be any things you wanna work on together?
>C. Tactics… hrmn. You know, you really should start using your head more. You’ve got an idea on what a lot of opponents might do, so why not come up with some countermeasures now? Can always adjust on the fly
>D. Something else?

“Say, Pantea, I kinda want to test something out. And…” You look over to your group and smirk a little. “Hey, gang, you’re coming with. I’ve got an idea I wanna try out, and all of you are gonna participate.”

“Sure thing, boss!” the Para Para bros shout in unison.

“...What exactly are you planning?” Cheelai asks with a suspicious look.

You materialize a water gun and nod for her to follow. “You’re pretty good with a firearm, right?”

Now curious, she follows along ahead of everyone else. Once outside, in the slightly chilly evening air, you transform into your Mahou mode and materialize a couple more, three in total. “What you three are gonna do is try and hit Pantea and I with these. The moment you run out of ammo, however, you’re gonna hand ‘em back to me. Got that?”

“Sure thing, boss!” they cheer together.

And just to make sure you’ve got this right, you get ready to enchant them. If you can, in some way, enchant them so they’ll be able to refill on their own, then you’ve got a working proof of concept of this idea. Buuuut… how will you go about it?

>A. Some kind of talismans on the sides? Sealed to them, that’s a cool look
>B. Well, the inspiration is a card, so maybe you can make some kind of plastic cards enchanted to keep them refilling
>C. Might be best to try some kind of mark or symbol. Something you’ve seen in the books of Magic!
>D. Something else?

“Okay, just gotta fill these up…” You create a little mark and seal it onto one of the waterguns, little goat symbols and arcane markings that you’ve learned, with Magic you THINK will keep it constantly refilled.

Key word there “think.”

As soon as you’ve set it and activated the Magic, it certainly does fill up. And then keeps filling. And filling. And instead of handing it off you look at it as it bends and bulges… and finally breaks and bursts, splashing you with frigid water. Made all the BETTER because of the chilly air outside. GREAT. Perfect.

Cheelai stifles a laugh, then asks, “You okay there, boss?”

“Yes. Absolutely fine.” you grumble. Okay, try this again. Clearly it’s something you’ll need more work with, but you can kinda scale it down a bit. Don’t constantly refill. Maybe more just charges of a kind.

Pantea, seeing what you were doing, attempts it herself… to about the same result as your first attempt. “Ah. So that’s the problem. Yeah guess we’re gonna need to experiment some more with these.”

You both dry off and then hand the water guns to the three of your gang, you and Pantea get some distance. “Okay, your goal is to hit both of us, then come to me when you need a refill. Ready to go?”

“Ready!”

“GO!”

>A. Take this seriously, dodge the attacks but pay attention to how much water they’re all using
>B. Bah you can dodge them in your sleep, your real goal here is the Magic you’re trying to develop

Things begin with you and Pantea splitting, dodging out of the way of their shots. It’s just water guns so it’s not like it’s putting anyone in any danger, but you are going to take this seriously. Don Para and Bon Para try to show off at first, but quickly come to realize they’re not even close to hitting either of you. Plus they don’t seem familiar with the water guns, or at least not the ones you’re used to. Cheelai though impresses you quite a bit, quickly coming to understand the limitations of the weapon and being a good deal more tactical with her shots. You’re still way ahead of her, but looks like she’s got quite the keen eye.

As the boys run low on water, they hand the guns back to you and you use the little seals on them to fill ‘em back up. And… they kinda break after you do that. Okay, something to look into later on. But hey, proof of concept! Gonna need more tweaking in the future, but the idea’s at least kinda sound!

…And Cheelai almost gets you in the back of the head, with you dodging just in time. “Oi! Cheap shot!” you call out.

“And you still avoided it.” she replies with a cheeky grin, handing you the now empty water gun. “Here ya go boss.” Narrowing your eyes, you Clothes Beam a white t-shirt over her outfit. “Wh- hey! The heck?”

“Upping the ante, Pantea!” you call out to the purple-haired girl. You then add one over yourself, her, and the Para Para bros. Aaaand just for good measure… you make a water balloon and grin deviously. “You and I are gonna work together on this part. Practice some teamwork. We only get one of these each.”

“...And, uh, the plain white shirts, boss?” Don Para asks as he tugs on his.

“Easy marker. Besides you’ve got stuff on under it. Now let’s go! Places!” You and Pantea move away, the boys and Cheelai spreading out this time to better take cover. “Begin!”

This round they all take a bit more seriously, while you and Pantea try to coordinate better. Works… fine at the start, neither of you really have much issue following the other’s plans, but it’s pretty rough to start with. But, telepathically trying to use some show references with one another gives you both a bit of an edge. The Para bros try to flush you and Pantea together in order to score a direct hit, but you both bait them into getting close enough for Pantea to splash the pair of ‘em with her water balloon!

Cheelai though almost scores a hit on Pantea as she splashes both brothers, forcing her back. The green girl then takes cover behind the gazebo in the yard. Trying to hide, huh? You tell Pantea to try and serve as bait to get her out of her hiding place while you go in for the finisher. Okay, almost got it, looks like she’s taken the bait! You dive down closer to Cheelai and ready the water balloon, tossing it at her… and realize too late that she’s spun her body over and got you dead to rights. While the water balloon does connect, two shots from her water gun already left the barrel by the time you realized what she was doing, getting you in the face and the stomach.

Well. Lesson learned there, you might have underestimated her just a bit. All of you then laugh together, in spite of the frigid water on you. “Hahaha, that was fun, boss!” she declares, shivering slightly. “J-just maybe let’s do it on a warmer day than this next time?”

“Ah the cold water is good for ya, gets the blood pumping!” you respond. “But thanks. This has already proven to be a big help.”

So you’ve got a start on something. Proof of concept. But where do you go from here? Pantea clearly wants to do some more “research” (and you DID only just start those shows), but might be better to actually have the two of you focus on improving this. At the very least get it down to something useful you can share with her. Also some combo moves might be a good idea. But you could also try to see if she’s up for meeting Nazar. Hmm…

>A. More “research,” you gotta get all the ideas you can manage in that head of yours!

You decide to make a weekend out of this, and get Pantea to go along with you on a little trip to Z’S. Working some things out with the Galactic Patrol, the two of you manage to catch a ride with Lapis over to the station above the planet, your gang promising to help out a bit there while you and Pantea head down to the surface.

Though Lapis does make a curious comment when you all arrive. “Sheesh, think I’ll have to start charging if I’m gonna play Taxi all day today.”

“Taxi? Who else are you helping?” Pantea questions.

“Eh, Videl, then Nappa, then you two, and next up is Piccolo.” he replies with a shake of his head. “Anyway, give a holler when you kids are done.”

“Sure thing!” you reply cheerfully, Lapis teleporting away.

Pantea rubs her chin curiously. “Where’s Videl going on a Saturday like this?”

“Where’s Nappa going?” you add.

“Who’s Piccolo again?” Don Para asks Bon.

“Think he’s that Namekian guy boss was talkin’ about before.”

“Focus, boys.” Cheelai calls to them. “Not exactly the happiest to be back here, but eh, worse places to be. Good luck down there, boss.”

“Good luck yourselves! You’ll need it!” You part ways with them and head into the shuttle area with Pantea.

>A. Contact Nazar on your way down, see how they’re doing

>>4813063
On the way down, you think to mention to Pantea, “The intense gravity here’s pretty good for training, so you’re probably able to get some good gains out of it with your base power increase and whatnot.”

She nods. “So I’ve heard. Honestly just thinking about it gets my mind racing on how things can survive and adapt for so long. There were animals subsisting on Magical artifacts, right?”

“Last we were here, yeah.” you confirm. “Heh, sounds like you’re as interested in sciencing this place up as you are in training.”

She smiles and rubs the back of her neck. “Well… can you blame me? You have an ecosystem adapting, even thriving, on a world where oxygen shouldn’t even be breathable under normal circumstances. I did a cursory glance from what the Galactic Patrol would share and seems there’s still a lot to uncover about this place.”

“All right, all right, don’t go overboard.” you tell her with a laugh. “Gonna try and get in contact with our guy down on the surface, gimme a sec.” Focusing your mind, you sense out Nazar, telepathically communicating with them. ‘Hello once more. We come seeking your wisdom and company, if you’ll have us. My friend and I are here to better hone our coordination, and I could not think of any being better capable of aiding us than you.’

‘{WE ARE CAPABLE OF HELPING YOU WITH YOUR REQUEST, BUT WE WILL REQUIRE YOUR ASSISTANCE IN OUR OWN MATTERS IN EXCHANGE.}’ They’re not in the same city as before, looks like one in the outskirts.

‘I’m sure we can help! What is it you need?’

‘{MAINTENANCE, AND WARDING OFF TRESSPASSERS.}’

…That sounds worrying. ‘What kinds of trespassers?’

‘{KIN OF A MAJIN.}’

Oh. Oh that doesn’t sound good at all. ‘Wait, are you under any threat right now? Should we locate them first?’

‘{NO, THEY POSE NO THREAT TO US. BUT THEY ARE INTERFERRING WITH OUR WORK. PREVENT THEM FROM DOING SO, AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE.}’

‘Okay, cool, cool. Can do.’ You pinch the ridge of your nose and grumble. “Oi…”

“Something up?” Pantea asks.

“Nazar says there’ve been trespassers here recently, pestering them. Trespassers they identify as ‘kin of a Majin.’”

The confused expression on her face turns into one of annoyance. “…I think I know who they might be. Well, we can probably take ‘em on if they pop up again.”

You fist bump Pantea. “Hell yeah we can!”

Finally landing, you have your mech ready as Pantea takes a step onto the planet, taking a moment to really adjust to it. Still a bit of distance between the two of you and Nazar, but you’re not sensing anything too out of the ordinary just yet. Well… for what counts as ordinary, at the very least. Pantea on the other hand seems more focused on the architecture and landscapes of the planet, really taking it in, almost awed a bit by it.

You try to sense around, using the Scouter your mech has to try and scan for any inorganic power sources that don’t belong. And… you can’t quite pick out anything. Looks to be about the same wildlife and old machines as before. Guess the intruders are in hiding at the moment. That, or off-world. Either way, not a problem at the moment! “Any things you wanna check out, Pantea?” you question.

“A few, actually. Think I can kinda sense out where that Nazar guy is, we’ll head towards ‘em as I check a few places out.” she replies, already taking to the air and flying off. You follow her, heading to one of the Hakkero reactors you’d seen before. You notice that it looks significantly better than it did before, and there’s a feeling of… stability in the air. The gravity inside is still intense, but about what it was when you were last here. Pantea takes some time going over the main reactor, focusing and trying to sense how the energy inside it works.

“Found anything I didn’t?” you question.

She rubs her chin.“It’s definitely reacting Magical energy with some tangible, physical objects… you mentioned a liquid gold before, right?”

“Laid out like circuits, yeah.” you confirm.

“But… hrmn. It’s doing it in a way that feels like it’s doing more than just generating energy.” She crosses her arms and floats back out of the building, powering up again as she leaves. “Let’s see… you also mentioned that this Nazar thing is trying to… free the rest of their kind, somehow?”

“More or less. Souls are spread across the various ones on the planet. They do still… kinda intend on fulfilling their original goal.” You look forward as the two of you fly off. “Nazar wants to balance out the amount of creation and destruction in the universe, eventually apprenticing under the Great Destroyer to take on such a position and better achieve that goal.” At least that’s how it was explained to you.

Pantea’s expression sharpens, seeming more focused and tense than before. “Not entirely sure I agree with that thought process, but, okay.”

“...Something bothering you about it?”

She rubs the side of her head. “I dunno. I mean, if they’re allowing us to come here, even help them out, maybe their goal is a genuine one. But…” she trails off and mumbles to herself.

“But…?”

“Is this really something an entire species would just, up and agree to?” she asks.

>A. I mean, is it really our position to judge?
>B. I trust them. I’ll vouch for them being on the level
>C. Did you encounter something in the Hakkero that made you think that?
>D. Something else?

>>4815435

“I trust them, and I’ll vouch for them.” you state confidently. “Did you notice something about the Hakkero that made you think they’re not on the level?”

“Something about it just felt… strange. Like there were redundancies not just specifically for keeping it safe from damage from the outside or power surges, but… like it was supposed to keep things in. It’s… off.”

“If I recall correctly, the planet’s downfall came like, nine million years ago. A being Nazar described as the ‘Planet Eater’ came to their world. This might have been a countermeasure against it, desperate and drastic, to keep their people alive in some way.” you explain to her. “Nazar has been pretty open to giving me answers so far, even when they didn’t like the questions I had, or I didn’t like the answers they gave. They’re honest, if not always welcoming. I believe they’ll be willing to answer any questions you have if you ask them.”

She sighs and gives a nod. “Okay, okay, I get it.”

“The impression I kinda get from them is that of, well… a leader. A leader having to make a painful and desperate choice on doing the most good for their people, even if there were those who didn’t agree with them. I mean, we both kinda have some idea of what that’s like, right?”

Pantea looks to you curiously. “What do you mean?”

“I’m a princess, after all. I’m not really that close to having to reign as monarch, but I do kinda get what the job requires. Representing the best interests of the people the monarch serves. You’re more or less heiress to Capsule Corp. yourself, so if you choose to step up after Bulma retires, you’ll have to be working for the best of your employees.”

She smiles softly. “Yeah. Heh, well put, Izzy.”

The two of you finally reach where Nazar is, finding them hard at work repairing another reactor. The massive octo-dragon’s limbs continue to work as their head moves to acknowledge the two of you. “{I TAKE IT NEITHER OF YOU DETECTED THE INTERLOPERS ON YOUR WAY HERE.}”

“Nope, sorry. Keeping our eyes, ears, and more open if there is a peep of them, though.” you reply. “How ya been?”

“{BUSY.}” Nazar responds curtly.

You notice Pantea’s a little uneasy as she looks over them. Keeping her composure, but at the same time just a little taken aback by the octo-dragon’s presence. She adjusts her glasses as she tries to focus. “Nazar, right? Pantea Briefs. It is… good to meet you.”

Their gaze focuses on her for a moment. “{WE SENSE GREAT POWER IN YOU, THOUGH POWER NOT LIKE IZUMI’S.}” They look down at the reactor again. “{YET YOU MAY STILL BE ABLE TO HELP US ON THIS DAY.}”

You have your mech place its hands on its hips. “So, what do you need us to do? Pantea’s a genius in her own right, so if there are any technical things you need done that were a bit too complicated to explain before, she’s bound to be able to figure it all out.”

“W-well, genius is a bit much.” she adds humbly.

“Don’t undersell yourself!” you comment, then lean closer to her and say in a lower tone, “They can smell lies.” She gulps at that.

“{WE REQUIRE MORE REPAIRS DONE ON THE HAKKERO OF THIS CITY, AND WARDING OFF THE INTERLOPERS SHOULD THEY RETURN.}” they respond.

“How many do you need done?” Pantea questions.

“{A MINIMUM OF TWO. DO MORE IF YOU WISH.}”

“That’s reasonable. Oh! Actually, before we start, got something to show you.” You pull out the miniature Hakkero, still holding it inside your mech, but Nazar clearly notices it. “Little something I’ve been working on back on Earth. It’s set to match the Hakkero of our world. Took a while to iron out, even ended up encountering some Demons while I was studying the real deal.”

The alien’s head tilts, the expression on their already hard to read face growing stranger. They continue to work, but clearly take great interest in what you’ve made. Finally, Nazar speaks. “{YOU HAVE TALENT BEYOND YOUR YEARS, IZUMI. IT IS IMPRESSIVE YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MANAGE SUCH A DEVICE ON YOUR OWN.}”

Swelling with pride, you grin. “Hehe, thanks.”

“You can tell what it is even through her mech?” Pantea questions.

“{YES.}” Nazar replies bluntly. “{HOWEVER, IT POSSESES ONLY A FRACTION OF THE CAPABILITIES IT COULD.}”

“Room for improvement, then. Okay.” Kinda figured that was the case,

>A. All right, how you wanna do this, Pantea? Split up, have you figure it out on your own, or team up so I can show you what I know and get them done faster
>B. You have any pointers for us before we get to work? Stuff to get us really thinking on teamwork, y’ know?

“Before we start, couple things. Any pointers on improving the Hakkero? Should I look to how your people built yours, or look more on what Earth’s is like? Aaaaand… would you be willing to help me improve mine, Nazar?”

“{OUR TECHNIQUES ARE MORE ADVANCED, BUT TAILORED TO OUR WORLD. YOU WILL LEARN BASICS HERE THROUGH OBSERVATION, BUT YOU MUST TAILOR IT TO YOUR OWN WORLD.}” Nazar responds, apparently finally finished with the repairs on the reactor they were working on. “{WE CAN ONLY GIVE YOU THOSE BASICS, UNLESS WE ARE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND YOUR ORIGINAL HAKKERO.}”

You nod. “Okay, okay. Maybe something to ask Annin about.”

Pantea gives you a hesitant glance, sucking in air through her teeth, then coughing awkwardly as she breathed in dust. “Ack, agh, keh, ugh…”

“{YOU SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL OF YOUR INTERNALS.}” the octo-dragon comments to her, causing the purple-haired girl to pout at them. “{ARE THERE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS?}”

“Just one! Any pointers for us on our teamwork? You know, some exercises to get us in the mood.”

“{COMMUNICATE THROUGH TELEPATHY ALONE. THAT WILL ATTUNE YOUR MINDS TO BETTER READ ONE ANOTHER.}” They move past the both of you, kinda looking down towards Pantea as they do. “{IT SHOULD ALSO PREVENT YOU FROM INHALING ANY OTHER PARTICULATES.}”

“H-hey!” she calls out grumpily, shaking her fist as Nazar heads off. Shaking her head and exhaling, Pantea looks at you. “Guess we should get started.”

You smirk, and telepathically respond, ‘Guess we should!’

>>4817514
But since Hakkeros absorb energy, we could maybe have them as traps for enemies, where if they raise their energy too much to fight us or a friend properly, they'll have that energy welled up in the reactor's area of effect, so they can't just leave or shoot outside of the place or they'll lose that energy.

And since the reactor stores energy or diverts it, that excess energy could go to whoever wins the fight, or wins by default.

You and Pantea reach a reactor Nazar instructs the two of you to head towards. Seems to be about what you expected of it.

You walk Pantea through the process, opening up the reactor’s top and readjusting the lines of it. ‘And where simply recharging lines aren’t enough, materialization is needed in some places, like here.’ You show where a line has been worn out, repairing it by creating a new one with Magic. ‘Seem simple enough?’

She nods. ‘Yeah. Should I give it a try?’

‘Feel free!’

With a smaller section, she materializes a new line for it, keeping the liquid gold contained in it, smiling as she succeeds. ‘Hah, this ain’t so bad.’

The two of you continue to work, and as the reactor starts to power up again. But, this attracts the animals nearby, a few of the giant lizards scurrying towards you both. You shoo one away before it starts gnawing at the structure, though Pantea’s a bit slower on the draw. “Ey! EY! Back up!” The reptile hisses and lets out a quick spit of Lightning Magic, which does zap her slightly, but does little damage. Pantea thwacks it on the head with a small hammer. “Ow! That hurt! Bad lizard! Bad!”

“Hhhhhh!” it grumble-hisses before scurrying away.

‘You okay there, Pantea? I brought some Energy Capsules if you need them.’

‘Eheh. I’m fine, biggest wound was to my pride.’ she replies with a soft laugh.

You look back to the doorways, spotting the lizards peeking out from them. ‘Well, I think they kinda like you! Should we get them snacks?’

‘Har har.’ Pantea responds with her eyes narrowed. ‘…Though that does raise a question, they consume Magic for sustenance, right?’

‘That’s about what we were able to understand for ‘em.’ you affirm.

Pantea looks back at the Hakkero. ‘…Hrmn. Not something that would come about naturally under normal circumstances, though… I guess after a few million years certain pressures would force them into it. Either way, think we should do something to keep them from getting back in here?’

‘Yep! Oh, oh, I know!’ You Materialize a few new doors that lock up tight where the broken ones are. ‘That should do it. Okay, next one?’

She nods, and the two of you head out. But, as you do, you get a vague sense of something off in the distance. Far away from the massive city, out in the desert. ‘…Hey, just a second.’

‘What’s up?’

You fly off towards it, catching glimpse of a large object moving out there. You sense something familiar, and… aha. Scouter is picking up a large machine. You start moving closer, Pantea following you. It’s… coming closer, towards the city. Almost like a-

…

Is that a lion?

Pantea’s eyes widen. “…Oh. Oh good.”

The lion the size of a house turns to move in a different direction, not really having noticed either of you. You find a place to hide your mech as you observe in the distance, a large craggy rock, while Pantea attempts to get in closer. But, she ends up close enough that the retreating machine stops and picks up on something.

A different lion moves in, and out from it comes a girl’s voice. “What’s wrong? Another limb malfunction.”

“No… no I think I sensed someone.” a more annoyed girl’s voice replies from the first. “Felt… familiar. Like it came from… Videl’s sidekick.”

‘Who is she calling a “sidekick?”’ Pantea grumbles to you telepathically.

“I did pick up on them in the area earlier. Let’s avoid them for now, we still have to finish these tests.”

‘You’re no sidekick, Pantea. You’re more like… co-pilot. Wingwoman. A dynamic duo! Two peas in a pod!’ Okay you think she gets the point. ‘Look, you’ve fused with Videl enough times to know she thinks of you as an equal.’

‘Yeah. You’re right. Still kinda annoying THEY see me like that.’ She pokes her head out, watching as the lions start to move off.

You meanwhile get in contact with the octo-dragon. ‘Hey, Nazar, looks like we’ve got those Majin kin snooping around in our sights. What do you want us to do?’

‘{REMOVE THE INTERLOPERS FROM THIS WORLD. WE DO NOT NEED ANY MORE DISTRACTIONS WITH OUR WORK.}’

Okay, chase ‘em off. Simple enough. Aaaand do have to do something about those lion mechs. You and Pantea follow after them, watching as they run off in the machines. Getting some better readings on them, and they do actually seem to be decently tough. A lot of power in those machines, and even more in the bubblegum twins. …Buubblegum? Buubblegum, yes. That’s what they are now. And they… hey they’re kinda getting away!

Rgh, okay, speed up a bit. At least until you know where exactly they’re going. You follow them for a good 20 minutes, the two going just quickly enough to make it a real pain to keep up without making yourself noticeable. Yet they don’t seem to be going towards any major city complex, not even some ruins.

Almost like they’re trying to… ‘IZZY!’ Pantea contacts you quickly. ‘THEY KNOW WE’RE FOLLOWING THEM!’

…

Oh. Oh of course they do. The moment you start to slow down, the pair of lion robots build up energy around their mouths and turn quickly, kicking up sand, with it falling back to the ground with the impact of an imploded building. Both lions let out blasts of energy, causing you to need to dodge to avoid it, while Pantea blocks the hit. Thankfully she powers up quickly enough to take the hit, but is still pushed back.

“HAH! Not so tough without Videl looking over your shoulder, huh?!” the more arrogant of the pair calls out. “You think we’re that dumb, huh?! What are you even doing here? You’ve got no business being in this place.”

“Shun Shun, focus!” the other of the pair reprimands.

“She’s right, you know! And you don’t belong here either! EAT THIS, HYDRO PULSE!” You focus Water Magic into your Mech’s palm and fire it down at the lion mech’s head, trying to disable it with a quick, high-pressure focused attack. It connects… but doesn’t leave the machine as dazed as you would have liked, even with the planet’s gravity causing it to strike with enough force to pulverize the craggy rocks around you all.

“Your cool mech isn’t going to distract me you bratty big-forehead value meal!” Shun Shun growls, managing to close the distance with a powerful leap and trying to swat you to the ground. You block it but still get pushed back, landing near where Pantea ended up.

>C. …Heh. She said your mech is cool. Good, good

Actually....that's a good idea. Calling one of them the inferior and making them fight about it. You can even press it by asking them

'Which one of you is really in charge here?' too.

Reminds me of this scene in Fargo.

…Heh. She called your mech cool. Good, good- ack! Focus! Okay, new plan. ‘Pantea, I’ll distract them, you hit when you’ve got an opening. You’re a smaller target than I am, after all.’ Now, how shall you do this…? “Tch, ‘Big forehead value meal?’ Is that really the best you can come up with, Buublegum?” you call back to her. “Well since you’re strapped for cash, I can get you a pretty good new deal! HALF OFF! HRRAAAH!” You slash out at the lion mech’s head, trying to empower the attack with Ice Magic… and not only does she avoid the attack, but the lion’s massive paw managed to swipe down at you and pin you to the ground.

“Oh you’re going to REGRET that you arrogant little nobody!”

Okay, not the best distraction, but a distraction nonetheless. “Whaaaat, tired of being stick on the bottom of Towa’s chair? Got on your big girl boxers to try the important missions?” She pushes into your mech harder.

“Shun Shun! You’re letting your anger get the better of you! Focus!”

Oh, oh, another idea! ‘Pantea, call her the “sidekick” before you attack.’

‘Ooooh, that’s good. Thanks, Izzy!’ Her body darts underneath the lion mech and you see flames build up around her palm. “You should listen to her, you overeager sidekick! BUUUUURNING... CRUUUUUSHEEEER!” Her palm strikes the mech in the gut as she lifts it up. An explosion of flame erupts, sending the lion tumbling down to the ground, though missing the intended target of the other mech.

Shun Shun seems less than happy about this turn of events. “I WILL TURN YOU INTO A WASABI JELLYBEAN WHEN I’M DONE WITH YOU!”

You get up again, standing beside Pantea. “All right, tell us, what is it you two are even DOING here? Some plot Basilea has? Towa?” You think for a moment before hesitantly adding, “…Fu?”

Shun Shun gets her mech upright again. “We’re preparing, you nosy nobody! We have to make sure these are in top condition for the Promised Day!”

You hear the sound of what is probably the other one facepalming come from the second mech’s speaker. “Yes, why don’t you spill the beans on everything. That’ll make it all the better.”

“...The Promised Day? What, are you planning ANOTHER invasion of Earth?” Pantea interrogates.

“Not everything has to do with your crummy little mudball! It’s-!” Her response is interrupted by her lion mech getting swatted upside the head. “OW! HEY!”

“Stop. Talking.” the other Majin reprimands.

“Tch. Fine. But I’m not going to let those slights against me stand, Haru Haru.” she grumbles.

“Do the two of you want to end up like Churai?” you ask the both of them.

The two get a bit quieter for a moment, you and Pantea standing your ground. Haru Haru finally responds, “Empty threat that that is, we’ll have to make due with the data we’ve gotten for now.”

“Oh come on, we’re gonna go before we clobber them for those insults?!” Shun Shun asks angrily.

“We can face them another time. Let’s go.”

>A. Yeah! You better run! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

Tried to get what I could.

Sorry for the delay again, had to make more calls today that were keeping me busy. For the last four hours. Should be done now, though. We're back:

>>4823173
‘Nice teamwork, Pantea. Even if things didn’t go QUITE as planned.’ you telepathically praise. ‘But looks like these two got too spooked to continue. Though…’ One thing is kinda bothering you. ‘That “Promised Day” thing, what exactly do you think it is?’

‘Trouble, but trouble that doesn’t involve Earth. Probably yet another one of Towa’s dumb experiments.’

‘...Or maybe…’ You step forward and ask the two Majins, “Hey, you two. It’s Ozotto, isn’t it? That’s what your ‘Promised Day’ is all about, right? Him reuniting with his other part… and lemme guess, attaining some form of godhood like Hirudegarn nearly did?”

Shun Shun stops her mech and makes it look down at you. “What is this, an interrogation? You think you’re in charge here? Think we ‘owe’ you something?”

Oh so that’s how it’s gonna be huh? “Okay, be like that. So brave! Keeping your secrets while running away from the threat of mild insults!”

‘...Don’t think that’s working, Izzy.’ Pantea warns, keeping up a defensive stance.

“Though I guess it’s the ‘sidekick’ you’re running from. You talk tough but you’re a bunch of chumps. No wonder you two got sent to a planet no one expected us to be at, you’re clearly not real fighters.” They stay silent but you can almost feel them getting angrier and angrier. “Maybe if you two had something like, I dunno, Fusion, you might actually pose a threat. But as you are now you-” They turn away and start to leave. “Hey! HEY! Get back here, losers!” They refuse. “OKAY, FINE! THEN SCRAM!” You charge up a blast of Lightning Magic in your mech’s hands and launch it at them.

‘Izzy wait!’ Pantea tries to stop you, only to end up doing so too late. The mechs swerve around suddenly and not only avoid the attack, but launch a pair of their own in retaliation.

“BLIZZARD BOMB!”

“VOLCANO BOMB!”

A massive, blazing fireball rockets towards the two of you, hitting the ground with enough heat to glass the sand below you and Pantea. While you avoid the worst of it, it’s still enough that you only barely manage to dodge it. That is followed by a tremendous orb of frigid power blasts out at the two of you, and even missing you it fills the area with a blindingly bright frost, cracking and shattering the glassified sand. When it subsides, the two are gone.

Pantea gives you a slightly annoyed look, putting out a lick of flame that caught her outfit’s left sleeve. ‘Well. Great plan there. Top notch.’

>A. Hey, they’re gone, aren’t they? Mission accomplished!
>B. Didn’t see you helpin’ out there…

I can't stand someone who changes their mind about something when it doesn't work out for them. Yeah, you gambled and it didn't work out, does it mean you would do any differently back then? There were consequences to your actions, and you ignored my warning, and now you're trying to have a cake and eat it too by mending things with Pantea.

‘Hey, they’re gone, aren’t they? Mission accomplished!’ You give a thumb’s up with your mech. Her eyes narrow. ‘…Yyyyyeeeaaaahhh, kinda overdid it there. So much for reverse psychology.’ you respond. You then look at her and use the Clothes Beam to repair her damaged sleeve. ‘...Sorry.’

She sighs and crosses her arms. ‘It’s fine, it’s fine. Just… you know, something to keep in mind next time.’

‘Yeah, gotcha.’ You look back to the main city you were just in, informing Nazar, ‘The pair have left the planet! Job done!’

‘{…VERY WELL.}’ the octo-dragon replies. There’s something in how they respond that feels… unhappy. Like they were expecting a different result. But that passes quickly as they continue, ‘{ONE MORE REACTOR, MINIMUM, MUST BE REPAIRED. GET TO IT.}’

‘Sure thing! On our way!’ You and Pantea fly back, eased a bit. As you do, you think to her, ‘Those techniques they used were pretty interesting. Seemed designed to affect the area they hit as much as possible, not just the opponent. Might be worth trying something with ‘em… maybe even variants!’

‘You have some in mind?’ she asks.

‘Yeah, yeah! Like, a Storm or Hurricane Bomb, something like that!’

‘Hmm… might be worth pursuing. Altering terrain in some way could be highly beneficial if we know how to maneuver in it and our foes don’t.’ She looks forward. ‘But that’s for later.’

She’s right. Still got one more job to do. So, how will you go about this this time?

>A. Same as before! Work with Pantea and get it done quick!
>B. Might be best if you let her take the lead, with you playing technical support
>C. Hmm… could try to do one reactor each. Make it a bit of friendly competition! Nazar would like it
>D. Something else?

>>4825545
>B. Might be best if you let her take the lead, with you playing technical support
She is the older and wiser and shorter one.

‘Pantea, you wanna take the lead with this one? I’ll stay back to help and give pointers where needed. And after that maybe check up on the one we fixed prior, see how it’s holding up. Sound good?’

She nods. ‘Sure! Let’s try and get this done quick!’

Yeah, this shouldn’t be a problem. No problem at all. You’ve already done plenty, Pantea’s watched and helped you, together the both of you have all the experience and expertise she’d need. Got this in the bag!

…Or so you hoped.

‘Okay, so you adjust the line here…’ Pantea attempts to put in a new line for one of the reactors.

‘Wait wait, that’s too much! The thickness is off! You gotta continue from where the damaged line is but follow the flow of energy.’ you correct her.

‘But that should better insulate it as the two parts connect, right?’ she points to another damaged section. ‘It’s basically a circuit.’

‘In a sense, but it’s also a fluid pipe, remember? The liquid gold? So it has to follow the flow of that, and if you put too much down at once it’ll throw things off.’ you explain. ‘See how the thickness is off where you laid it down? If that keeps up, there energy that reaches each symbol will be skewed too strongly in one direction.’

Pantea rubs her forehead. ‘Yeah… crap, sorry Izzy.’

‘It’s fine, now, next up…’

You wish you could say things got easier from there, but you kinda had to keep correcting her in small places. Pantea was very much thinking like an engineer, and while that helps, it’s only part of fixing it. Magical runes require their own little sets of rules, and while you can kinda math it out it takes a bit more finesse. Finally, everything looks like it’s all set. You move back and let Pantea lay down the final lines.

‘Man, you really did make the last one look easy.’ she comments. A few of the animals in the area start to congregate again, some smaller ones that seem more like bugs. You shoo them away as Pantea places the lid back on top of of the reactor… And the both of you react too slowly to stop what looks like some… spider-cat hybrid dart inside it. “GAH!” Pantea exclaims, the top slamming shut as she drops it in surprise.

‘Open it open it open it before it starts messing with anything!’ You hurry back over and lift the lid. ‘Get it out of there, quick!’

‘I’m hurrying, I’m hurrying!’ Pantea tries to move slowly and deliberately, trying to not appear like a threat to the animal. And… it darts around the place like it’s a house cat at 3 in the morning. It takes a few tries but Pantea finally catches it, though not after it’s nibbled on a few things. After yet more repairs, she holds the thing out as you let the lid back down. Kinda the size of a kitten, though halfway between cat and tarantula. Pantea looks it in the eyes as the animal tries to play cute. “No reactors for you, lil’ one. If you got caught in there who knows what might’ve happened?”

The animal innocently licks its… paws? Claws? Pads? Whatever they are.

>A. All right, we’re done here. Put the thing that’ll haunt my nightmares down and let’s go

You giggle softly. ‘Aww, I think it likes you, Pantea. Though then again you are good with cats aren’t ya? Heehee.’

She looks over the animal, the… mandibles? Pedipalps? What are those mouth bits called… chelicerae! Yeah, those things! They kinda chitter and wiggle, one leg rubbing at them like a cat might lick its paw. ‘…Kinda worrying about those fangs.’ she comments, noticing small static sparks come off them. There feels like there’s some Magic coming off them.

‘Heeeey Nazar? We fixed up another one of the Hakkero reactors, buuut, uh, one of the animals kinda snuck in and nibbled on the circuits. We did get it out and fix it up but… er, is it venomous?’ You telepathically project a picture of the little thing at Nazar.

After a moment, they reply with… ‘{THE FLUID IN ITS FANGS IS HIGHLY ACIDIC, CAPABLE OF EATING THROUGH MANY MATERIALS. DO NOT LET IT BITE YOU.}’

You clench slightly and gulp. ‘Paaaantea. Very, very carefully put the spider-kitty down. Do not let it bite ya. Spider-bite hurt. Ouch. Ouch spider.’ Crap crap crap. ‘What materials can keep it from getting in, Nazar? Don’t want it biting the Hakkero more.’

‘{THE OUTER CASING OF THE HAKKERO IS MORE THAN CAPABLE OF KEEPING ANY SINGLE CREATURE OUT.}’

You look back at the reactor. Okay. Okay. That’s good. You and Pantea very, very carefully get it and any other animals out of the area, and then hurriedly seal it up. And the moment Pantea lets the spider-kitty down, it bolts away from you both, scrambling along the hallway’s walls and ceiling in an almost spiral pattern. Pantea exhales, looking over to you. ‘Thanks, Izzy. Guess I’m not taking home that stray.’

‘The fact that it didn’t bite you is testament to how well you get along with cats, terrestrial or otherwise. Buuut yeah, might not be the best new pet.’ you respond, chuckling to yourself.

‘{YOUR TASK IS COMPLETE. RETURN TO ME FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTION.}’ Nazar demands.

Welp, looks like they’re finally gonna help you and Pantea on teambuilding! Let’s do this!

Finally back with Nazar, the octo-dragon looks you both over. “{YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE TASKS WE HAVE ASKED OF YOU, WHILE MAINTAINING TELEPATHIC COMMUNICATION. IT IS… PASSABLE.}”

Pantea crosses her arms and frowns slightly. “Just… passable?”

“{IT IS CLEAR TO US THAT WHILE BOTH OF YOU ARE CAPABLE OF WORKING TOGETHER, YOU HAVE ONLY THE BASICS DOWN. TO TRULY WORK TOGETHER, YOU HAVE TO BE THINKING ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH. EVEN WITH THE SKILLS YOU HAVE INDIVIDUALLY, WE HAVE SEEN THERE IS A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU. OF BALANCE.}”

“So, what would you have us do, then?” she questions.

“{WE WILL GIVE YOU THREE OPTIONS: WORK ON THE BASICS FURTHER, CONTINUE WORKING TOGETHER TO REPAIR MORE HAKKERO, OR ATTEMPT SOMETHING NEW WITH US.}”

Pantea looks over to you, waiting to hear what you have to say.

>A. More Hakkero might be the best for now, at least we’ll be doing something productive
>B. Guess working on the basics while we’re down here might be for the best
>C. Well, you willing to give Nazar a chance, Pantea? This might be the quickest option
>D. Something else?

>>4829717
>C.
>D. Rely on your faith that if any being knows how to coordinate willls...

>>4829717
>D. Well we could always try the Metamor Fusion Dance again but....
>C.

>>4829717
>C.
>D. We can literally fuse, but not all of the time. Does training like that help us more when we're separate, or does it make normal cooperation harder?

Ah forgit Izzea hasn't happened yet, change >>4829745
"Can" to "could", if it matters.

>>4829717
Fine, I'll admit it, Occulopus is a dumb name.

Occulus is latin and Octopus is greek. Panoptopus, Panoptes + Octopus.

>>4829729
Supporting. All glory to the Panoptopus.

>>4829717
Sure

“Well, there is the Metamoran Fusion technique, which both of us… well, both of us know and have done before, just not together. Would we benefit more if we were united in that way, or still physically separate?” you ask Nazar.

“{THE METAMORAN TECHNIQUE IS USEFUL TO INDIVIDUALS SUCH AS YOURSELVES, BUT WILL NOT BE REQUIRED. IT IS TOO… LIMITING. WE HAVE BETTER METHODS.}”

Well… guess it’s best to trust in the expert with this kind of thing. ‘You willing to give Nazar a chance, Pantea? Might be the quickest method to this.’

‘It is worth a shot. Neither of us have really been on our A-game today.’ She looks forward and nods. “All right. Listening to what you’ve got to offer.”

Four tentacles wave in the air and create two octagonal symbols on the ground, glowing with a greenish… kinda yellowish-purple energy. “{THIS METHOD WILL MATCH YOUR WILLS AND MINDS TOGETHER FOR SO LONG AS YOU BOTH MAINTAIN IT. FOR THERE TO BE BALANCE, ONE NEEDS TO KNOW STRUCTURE, ORDER, CREATION…}” Intricate patterns appear within the octagonal symbols, strict, precise, and focused. “{AND ENTROPY, CHAOS, DESTRUCTION.}” The patterns swirl and shift, at times looking like pulsing eight-pointed stars. They finally settle into… a symbol you hadn’t really seen before. Circular, kinda almost like a stylized tree? Canopy at the top, roots at the bottom, with two orbs on either side of the trunk. “{THE UNIVERSE IN ITS TOTALITY REQUIRES BOTH TO FUNCTION. BOTH OF YOU ARE A PART OF THE UNIVERSE, AND GAINING GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF BALANCE WILL GIVE YOU A STRONGER CONNECTION WITH ONE ANOTHER.}”

Pantea looks at it curiously, tilting her head as she analyzes the symbols and Magic as best she can. “That… seems like a lot to take in. I mean I can kinda get what you mean, but it’s…”

“{YOU HESITATE, BECAUSE YOU DO NOT COMPLETELY TRUST US.}” Nazar says to her directly. “{WE UNDERSTAND THIS. WE ALSO WILL NOT FORCE YOU TO ACCEPT THIS. THERE ARE OTHER WAYS.}”

Pantea flinches, feeling like she’s souring the room. “…I’m sorry. I don’t intend any insult.”

“{WE ARE NOT INSULTED. WE OFFER A TOOL OF BALANCE. ACCEPTING IT IS YOUR OWN DECISION TO MAKE.}”

Your mech scans the symbols. It’s substantially more complex than you’re used to, but at the very least feels like it’s in the same… ballpark as the Magic used in the Hakkero. Well…

>A. Come on Pantea, let’s give it a shot!
>B. …On second thought, we can wait on this. You don’t seem ready for it, and I’ll not push
>C. Something else?
