There was a short rest period given to really settle and prepare for what was to come. The day’s final match. Pantea looks to you with determination in her eyes. “You ready for this, partner?”

“Damn right I’m ready.” you confirm. You look back at the other fighters. Mom and dad, aunt Maple and uncle Goku, Chiaotzu and 19, Tien, Vegeta, Tarble, the Ginyus. Sachie and Zarid both give you nods of encouragement. Sala and Hado high-five Pantea and wish her luck, Videl fist bumping with her.

And so, the two of you begin your walk towards the ring, Ledgic and Nox already waiting. Ledgic keeps up a harsh, stoic glare, but you can see a smile on Nox’s face. Confident, almost smug, yet strangely appreciative. “I look forward to what the two of you can bring to this match.”

“Oh we’ll bring plenty to it, just you wait.” you respond.

‘So, you want the honors, or should I start things off?’ Pantea asks you telepathically. ‘We’ve got a lot of options we’ve planned for, the only question now is who’ll start things off.’

>A. Honors are all your, partner
>B. Let me start things off, I’ve got a lot I want to try against them
>C. Janken for it?
>D. Something else?

“Janken for who starts it?” you ask as you give her a look and hold out your fist.

“Janken for it.”

“And a Rock, and a Paper, and a Scissors…”

Heh heh heh heh. Dad has taught you the best tricks for janken. You make it look like you’ll chop down with scissors, and yet… “Paper covers Rock!” You win.

Pantea nods and heads back, and you turn to face your opponent. Nox. He chuckles to himself in acknowledgement. “Good. Good. Let me see what you can do, Mahou.”

“You can call me by that title, but remember this: my name’s Izzy Mahogany. And when this is all over, my partner and I will proudly be able to declare ourselves Mifan Champs!” you call out, powering up.

“Well well, things have started heating up!” Pilaf announces to the crowds. “We’ll see if that bold declaration will ring true. Fighters ready? BEGIN!”

You move around, swerving away from his initial attacks. Gotta test the waters. With a swing of his arm, a wave of energy slashes out, swirling with Wind Magic. You let it hit an afterimage, and then use Multi-Form and more afterimages to try and trip ‘em up a bit, dodging away from his attacks and seeing some of the things he tries to pull out. Some more basic moves to start, he’s pulling out some stuff like the Geist Magnum and Dodonpa, enhanced with Magic, but then he kicks it up. His Ki blasts take on a frigid aura, and blasts of ice shoot towards every copy of you. Every missed attack slicking the ring with ice, forcing you to take this up into the air.

But you’re not letting this up. Trying to hide your Ki a bit more, you also go for some more… illusive tricks. Heh heh heh. You launch several feints at him, many of your copies charging forward, spamming afterimages and even making some cheap, glitter-filled fakes of yourself to test how well he’s really paying attention. While you don’t quite throw the glittery wool over his eyes like you were hoping, he avoids the multitude of feints and tries to keep focus on you, a couple DO get close enough to very briefly distract him.

“Still warming up, Mahou? The crowds will get restless if this keeps up for too long… how about you stop holding back?!” He brings both hands up and clasps them together, heat shimmering off them as he charges an attack… and launches a multitude of blazing Ki blasts into the sky, that start homing down at you!

‘Izzy, watch out for Ledgic!’ Pantea warns you, and you manage to avoid a massive and swirling length of electrified rope that he sends out across the ring, trying to get you and as many copies as he can. Whew! Close one! But more importantly it’s raining burning Ki blasts like he just called forth a meteor shower!

>A. Okay, you want to fight a Mahou? Here you go! Kickin’ it up a notch!
>B. Just try to avoid the attacks some more, keep up this pattern until he can’t really tell the difference between the real you and the fakes!
>C. Start deflecting the attacks BACK at him! Telekinesis if you have to!
>D. Pantea, combo up! Let’s hit ‘em hard and fast!
>E. Something else?

Your copies fade back into yourself as the attacks come barreling down. “You want to fight a Mahou? Then fine, here you go! HENSHIN! YUUUSHAAAAA!” With an emerald flash of power, you transform, and immediately send out your Spirit Bits and have them barrel at Nox. He avoids them with ease as you dodge around his attacks and even deflect some of them with telekinesis, pillars of flame erupting on the ice-covered floor where they hit and melting some sizable puddles that connect more and more as more ice melts. But you’re not really aiming to attack him directly. The Spirit Bits gather up in the air… and you ALSO notice that there’s a slick of water all over thanks to the melted ice. And what’s this? Ledgic is trying to use that rope again? Clever, but not clever enough!

After a couple of the reflected fireballs score direct hits, you have your Spirit Bits fire down at Nox, each filled with a Magical boost, blasting at him like the world’s deadliest rainbow! And that actually does some damage, forcing Nox to let out an explosive wave to stop it. Ledgic’s electrified rope darts at you while you’re busy with this, but you avoid it and even use telekinesis to try to grab hold of it and slam it down at the floor near Nox!

Try to. Nox jumps up and throws down several metallic spikes into the ring ahead of the rope, letting it hit them and pass the charge through them. Damn, but okay, that’s not too bad a- wait, Ledgic isn’t holding onto it anymore! You immediately turn around and block a fierce right hook from him, watching as he tries to follow it up with a kick. Luckily, Pantea blitzes in and knocks him down, right into the slicked floor! And THAT gives him that shock you were hoping to give Nox!

“Setup and payoff.” Pantea says with a cheeky grin. The two of you high-five, and focus back on your foes. “Wanna keep this up, or mind letting me take the reins for a bit?”

>A. All yours, partner! Kick some ass!
>B. I’m doing fine, but jump in if you need

‘Gonna let you take the lead. Quick combo attack before I head out, Pantea?’

‘Sounds good to me!’ she replies, aura surging up around her. The two of you try to focus on Ledgic, with her attempting to rush at him and hit hard, while you have your Spirit Bits backing her up, flying behind her. Flames erupt around her hand as she tries to grab hold of him, a ring of energy forming around her back to boost her forward. Yet right as she’s about to grab him, Ledgic materializes a staff and blocks the hit, holding her back, and then getting in a sneaky jab with that… tail thing of his. Oh, so he can use it in combat. More you know!

And you know now that it’s a viable target! One of your Spirit Bits hits it with a Lightning-boosted shot, catching him off-guard, as the others gather around Pantea’s hand, boosting her attack with with an Amplified charge of Magic and Ki and letting her slam her hand into him hard. She then grabs him by his shirt and lifts him up over her head. “HEAT END!” she yells out, the attack exploding point blank and sending Ledgic flying upward.

You don’t have much time to celebrate, as Nox is right on your tail, attempting to grab hold of you with telekinesis as he charges a crackling black sphere of energy in one of his hands. You try to resist it, but it takes considerable effort, and in doing so he gets a chance to fire off his attack: “HELL BLITZ!” You do manage to put up a Hero’s Barrier to block it, but it shatters from both the pressure of his telekinesis and his attack, knocking you back slightly. Nox closes the distance, but is forced away by Pantea as she comes to your aid, dropkicking at him.

‘Ready to switch?’ she asks, charging a Geist Magnum and pointing it at Nox.

‘Yeah, and I’ve got something for you.’ You make it look like you’re about to tag out with a high five… but with just a bit of sleight of hand, pass her the Hakkero. ‘Use it well.’

Pantea grins, and you head out of combat. Nox notices this, and does the same, letting Ledgic face Pantea on his own. Okay, got a bit of a breather now. Ledgic’s good, but you’re confident Pantea can get the upper hand against him, especially with the Hakkero. Nox though…

‘That was quite the bold move.’ he compliments telepathically. ‘You share that wonderful little trinket with her to give her the advantage instead of using it to take me down.’

You feel your skin crawl a bit. How’d he notice? …And if he knows about it, did he let you pass it intentionally?

>A. In case you haven’t noticed, this is a team match. I help her, she helps me. That’s how we’re gonna win this. So what’s it to you that I did?
>B. I have no idea what you’re talking about, Nox. I just tagged out, is all. (Lie to him)
>C. I actually don’t need it to beat you. I’ve got something way better waiting in reserve. (Focus his attention away from it)
>D. Something else?

‘Just in case you haven’t noticed, this is a team match. I help her, she helps me. That’s how we’re gonna win this. So what’s it to you? Don’t feel like it’s fair that I did or somethin’?’ you respond to him, working to manage your Ki and rest up while Pantea fights.

‘Oh quite the contrary! I find it fascinating.’ Nox crosses his arms and smiles, eyes focused on you. ‘I sensed some curious little trinket in your possession for some time now, and now I finally get to see it in action. That it’s compatible with your partner is VERY intriguing.’

Okay. That’s worrying. But maybe you can goad out some more information from him. ‘So what, you want to try and copy my ‘wonderful little trinket’ or something? I’d have assumed you would’ve done that sooner.’

‘Hard to copy something with an unknown function.’ Nox replies, his tail swaying behind him. ‘But, once I do… heh heh heh…’

That’s even more worrying. But you’ll keep at this. ‘Is it JUST you that wants it, though, or is your boss looking to get it too?’

‘Mugen is always looking for interesting new additions to his collection. Be they skills for those he has recruited, gear to bring them further glory… or even new fighters themselves.’ Nox smirks and looks you right in the eyes.

Crap. Does… does Mugen want to recruit YOU? Why? …Because you’re a Mahou. And the more skills you show off, the more he’ll want you, or something LIKE you, as part of his collection… craaaaap.

Your focus is broken as you notice Pantea on the defensive briefly, Ledgic really giving his all, but as she backs away, she lets her energy mix into the Hakkero. You fail to get her to stop, and with a snap of her fingers, she lets out a supercharged explosion of fire that knocks him right to the floor. Even Pantea’s surprised by the amount of power she released from that.

And then Nox gains a manic grin. ‘A reactor? …And yet a Hakkero.’

Crap crap crap crap craaaaap.

The artificial hakkeros on Z were connected. If he makes one based on our design, we can 'hack' it before they hijacks ours.

>D. Distract him with stuff so he won't focus on the match. Things like, 'Did you know any of the Majins we've encountered so far...?' or 'Do you know who the Planet Eater was?' or 'How many devas are you?' or even 'Do you know what Majin Ozotto's Promised Day is about?'

Goodnight boss. Starting to get an idea of Nox's personality. He reminds me of ...what we wanted Bro-zotto to be. Aloof, stoic, but eager to engage the group in tests of strength. Like a 'Good' Perfect Cell of sorts.

>>5359886
He seems kinda odious to me. Very toxic.

>>5360633
He doesn't seem malevolent to me. He's been very open about Mugen and just seems to want a good fight, learn cool new moves, and just have a good challenge. I guess when you are made for battle, you tend to have an abrasive personality.

‘Pantea, Nox is trying to copy the Hakkero.’ you warn your partner. ‘Be careful with how you use it. The more he sees, the more he’ll try to make one of his own.’

‘Damn. Okay, thanks for the warning.’ she acknowledges as she pockets it. She takes a defensive stance, waiting for Ledgic’s next move as he gets back up.

You focus your Ki as you try to think this over. Okay. So he might still try to make one… but there’s no guarantee he’ll be able to use it as well as you can. That’s something you could use to your own advantage. Still… maybe it’d be best to try and keep him distracted. ‘Surprised you haven’t picked up on that sooner, if I’m being honest. You know there’s a whole planet of those off in space, right?’

That draws his curiosity. ‘Ah? Aha, you’re referring to the world the would-be godcrafters called home. So the structure is similar in nature… very promising.’

‘Then you know about the “Planet Eater” that plagued that world, yes?’ Okay, he’s hooked.

Nox grins wide, his face like that of someone recalling their favorite dish. ‘Indeed. A shame I never got to fight him in his prime. Though even in my current state, that would prove… difficult.’

That’s… concerning. ‘Were you around during his time?’

‘I came into being after his defeat by the gods. After their slaughter by the great Majin Buu.’ Nox explains to you. You can tell by how he’s looking at his hand that he’s still working on figuring out the Hakkero. Gotta try to distract him more.

‘So you know about Buu… how about the Majin I’ve beaten on my own?’ you question, smirking a bit. ‘Mugen must have heard about how that happened by now. Did he pass it on to you?’

He glances in your direction again. ‘You speak of Hirudegarn, yes? Ah, are you trying to bring up your own victories as an intimidation tactic?’

‘Not at all. I’m actually curious about what you know about the other Majins… and if you’re privy to any information on one Majin Ozotto, and whatever the “Promised Day” might be.’

He silently chuckles. ‘Whatever the Demon Realm has planned is irrelevant to me beyond being another challenge. Mugen is not particularly invested in whatever conflicts arise, and will at most look on as an observer… and recruiter, should promising candidates make themselves known.’ He momentarily looks towards the other fighters. ‘The half-demon and… curious creation she calls cousin have not been particularly receptive to such offers. Ozotto likely will not either. Always a schemer, that one. I would like to see what new tricks he’s picked up, though-’

“FULL POWER! CROSS CHARGE SHOT!” Pantea yells out, first punching forward with a charged up blast with her left hand, then doing the same with her right, that one enhanced with the Hakkero’s power! Ledgic tries to set up a barrier to catch the attacks and redirect them. For a moment, he does hold them.

Only a moment, though. Pantea brings her hands together, Ki charging at her fingertips as she makes gun-shapes with her hands. She fires a Zero Buster INTO the combined Charge Shots, and all three attacks fracture the barrier Ledgic made and break through it in one massive, overwhelming blast of energy! Ledgic is down, possibly for the count!

Nox takes a moment to look at what just happened. ‘It seems you’re too much fun to talk to, Mahou. A moment.’ He teleports right next to Ledgic as Pantea takes a short breather, and gives the alien fighter… a very quick heal to get him back up on his feet. Pantea tries to stop him, but Nox just moves the two of them around as he heals Ledgic. “Take some time to recover, I’ll switch in.” he tells his partner, facing Pantea down.

Ugh. That still left Ledgic with some damage, but it prevented a KO. What next? Should you keep letting her handle this, or jump in again?

Okay! Not as bad a delay today! We're back!

>>5360770
‘Pantea, combo, then switch! Let’s do some real damage before you get yourself a proper breather.’ you tell her telepathically.

‘Okay, I’ll get you an opening.’ She takes a defensive stance, and immediately Nox is on the offensive. With a snap of his fingers, a blast of fire explodes around where she was standing. Pantea dodges it, yet Nox isn’t done. He snaps the fingers in his other hand, and this time, Lightning bolts down in a chain towards her.

Maybe you can keep talking with him, try to give her that opening… ‘Nox, what did you mean by it being difficult to fight the Planet Eater in your ‘current state’? Mugen didn’t seem like the type to limit your power, no restraining bolts or the like…’

‘Oh no, no no no, nothing of the sort. I merely acknowledge the power of the one who devoured worlds. His Magics and power at his peak would eclipse what I am capable of even now.’

‘Ohhhh, I getcha, I getcha. Yeah that makes a bit more sense. Say, you’re a lot more approachable than you’ve really seemed when this all started. Wanna trade emails or somethin’? Mine’s OxPrincess86@Capsulemail.com!’

‘Perhaps, once this is over, and I have grown stronger, I can agree to that.’ Nox grins manically. ‘But only then. I am here to grow! The more I see, the more I fight, the stronger I become! The more I can IMPROVISE!’ Nox crosses his arms, then yells out “PLASMA CASCADE!”

Snapping fingers on both hands, a surging mixture of Fire and Lightning erupts down on the whole arena. It’s almost like he brought a star down to Earth with how brightly it’s shining, to say nothing of the heat… yet thanks to your little break in his concentration, Pantea’s been able to avoid the attack! And using her Spirit Bits, she’s constructed a barrier that tunnels through the star, right to Nox!

‘All yours, Izzy!’

Your emerald aura erupts around your body as you fly in there at full force! “Cool Magic combo! I’ve got some of my own!” Light and Shadow build up in your hands. “HELL! AND! HEAVEN!” You bring them together as you reach Nox, creating a swirling, chaotic vortex of energy and Magic that you slam into him!

…Or at least that’s what you thought you’d be doing. You watch as your attack is stopped… and ABSORBED. CRAP. Nox holds his hand out, chuckling to himself. “That most certainly is a combination worth taking. I can feel the raw power it’s letting off!” He continues to absorb its power into himself. “The android girl was certainly a surprise, it took some time for me to properly adapt an innate function like her energy absorption ability, but looking into it has certainly paid off!” The inferno around you fades as Nox powers up further, the sheer force of it pushing you back, with you hitting the floor hard.

You get back up, but oh crap that wasn’t good. Yet you’re not giving up. He probably can’t spam something like that, might be the only chance you get to make up for that power boost you gave him. Think, quickly… wait, AHA! ‘Pantea, METEOR Spirit Bits, around me! Keep his focus on you for a moment! And have the biggest, toughest, fluffiest mittens in mind for a Clothes Beam!’

https://youtu.be/SsoY3W8-2zQ

‘I like where this is going.’ She bolts down to the ground as her Spirit Bits surround you, syncing up with your aura… and thanks to you being in Mahou mode, that proves to be QUITE the potent link-up. They’re supercharged as you place both hands forward like a dragon’s maw. As you’re doing this, Pantea’s giving her all against Nox, the two of them trading blows. He’s certainly closer to her level now, and his stolen techniques are causing some problems. A Meteor Combination that Pantea just narrowly avoids the worst of as she counters with the Wolf Fang Fist, yet he hits HER with the Izumi Combo. He even nearly catches her with Sachie’s Rasengan, but Pantea blocks it by coating her arms in Ki and making wing-shaped guards.

‘It’s ready!’ you tell her, and lock on to Nox with the attack. Light Magic swirls between your palms, and is coursing through the enhanced Spirit Bits linked up with you. ‘Hey Nox! ABSORB THIS!’ Burst Stream, tripled up! “ULTIMATE! BUUUURST STREAAAAAM!”

Nox turns to face you, ready to absorb the attack again, but Pantea cheekily Clothes Beams some big, fluffy mittens over his hands, and flips back out of the ring, giving a V-sign as she leaves combat. Nox takes the full brunt of your attack, a blinding white light filling the arena as it explodes around him!

It takes a moment for the smoke and dust, to say nothing of the blinding light, to fade. Now THAT did some real damage to him! He’s left panting, scuffed up and clearly injured. He’s… surprised, but genuinely so. There’s a more appreciative smile on his face now. “Mahou… no. Izumi Mahogany. I thank you. THIS is the fight I’ve been waiting for! You and your partner are full of surprises!” He takes his fighting stance again… and his Ki starts to surge up. “More! SHOW ME ALL YOU HAVE!” There’s… a dark, dangerous Ki around him. Not… quite malicious, strangely enough. But it’s strong.

Oh now what…? …Well, that question’s answered quickly. “IZZY! IT’S THE MAKAIOKEN!” Peppa yells out to you in warning.

Crapbaskets.

So, that’s what he wants, is it? Well that’s what he’s gonna get. You grin wide, your aura surging up around you again. You… kinda have to admit, this is FUN. Sure, Pantea’s done a lot of the heavy lifting up to this point, but now? You don’t have to hold ANYTHING back! “All right Nox, you don’t want me to hold anything back? HERE YOU GO! BEHOLD! MAHOU KNIGHT!” You thrust your fist into the air, snapping your fingers, and letting the crystal’s power flow around you! In a brilliant flash of emerald energy, it’s no longer just you standing there. Your mech lands with a loud thud, staring down at Nox. …Aaaand for just a little added flair, you put in a Lion chest detail to make it look all the more heroic.

There’s a stunned silence for a moment, a good amount of the crowd in awe by what stands before them. You look around, taking notice of Sachie and Zarid cheering for you, Sala and Hado speechless… and Fu geeking out over it with Pilaf and Baozi. Mugen though… there’s a quite pleased, almost smug look on his face. Gonna… take that into consideration for later.

“Mahou… Knight…” he repeats, taking in the sight before him. “Yes… YES! I SHALL ANSWER IN KIND! MAKAAAAIIIOOOKEEEEN!” A black and red aura erupts from his body.

“FORM! BLAZING SWORD!” You have a blade of Light and Fire burst out from your mech’s hand. You slash at him, and he at first is able to dodge around the attack, expecting his newfound power and speed to give him an advantage against your mech’s much larger frame. He’s wrong. You deliver a palm strike that knocks him back. He digs his tail into the ground to stop himself, and a charge of power courses up through his back that results in a massive build-up of energy in his mouth. Nox expels a stream of energy like Godzilla’s breath attack, infused with his own demonic strength, right at you. You block the attack with your sword, charging some power through it and slashing out a crescent wave of energy that knocks it away completely.

Nox jumps into the air, forming a trio of Spirit Bits, massive in size, and each swirling with chaotic energy as he pumps Magic into the three of them. He holds his hand up, sending the Spirit Bits down towards you. Before they can unleash their payloads, though, you counter them! Your mech takes to the air, and you stab and slash into all three of them with blistering speed! Nox still attempts to have each of the three unleash their payloads, yet you move too quickly for any of them to affect you. The exploding Spirit Bits merely illuminate your silhouette as you keep charging forward. Nox decides to mirror you by forming his own massive energy blade, red and black like his aura, and the two of you clash, trying to push one another back.

You register a slight, sudden tug around your mech’s legs, as you notice Ledgic’s stepped in to try and pull you back… but Pantea leaps at him and delivers a dropkick to his back, removing the distraction. She then gives you a thumb’s up for good measure.

“This is a MUCH more potent power than your Mahou form, Izumi Mahogany. I’m impressed, truly!” Nox praises. “It does require some additional components, but it looks to be well worth it.”

“It’s more than simply more ‘components,’ Nox. It’s also learning how to use them properly! Making this power MY OWN!” You push forward, gaining ground!

>A. …But while this power’s my own, this victory will be something I share with my partner. Pantea! Hit him with your best shot!
>B. Knock him back and finish this with your ultimate technique!
>C. Keep this up, let’s see what else he wants to show off! You can handle it!

As you and Nox push against one another, trying to give it your all… you come up with an idea. You smile a bit as you ready for this next move, giving Pantea a quick telepathic explanation of your plan. “…But while this power is my own, this victory won’t be. Instead, it’s something I’ll share with my partner. You’re strong, Nox. You even work well with Ledgic. But together, Pantea and I can overcome even the two of you at your best! But I have to wonder, Nox, is this your best? Come on, show me some of your own skills, not something borrowed!”

“VERY WELL!” he roars, and for a moment his aura sort of… internalizes, almost looking like there are flames seeping out from his armor. That moment is brief, as it then explodes outward, the two of you finishing your clash and pushing one another backward. His explosive aura forms a spherical shape around him that’s… bubbling with power. Thunder echoes through the arena as he starts to launch out homing energy attacks EVERYWHERE. Yet you notice that they don’t actually detonate when they hit something, as you block some with your sword. Instead, they ABSORB power into themselves. You have to weave and dodge around this meteor swarm of Ki blasts, trying to get closer to him again. Almost… almost… THERE!

“...Checkmate, Nox.” You move your mech’s hand forward. “MP BUSTER!” It actually takes a moment to fully work, he has a LOT of energy built up inside him, but it takes effect. His aura flickers out, his power leaving him. He’s shocked, and attempts to get the homing Ki blasts to return to him to salvage his depleted reserves. But it’s too little, too late! “NOW, PANTEA!”

https://youtu.be/EEnDpacSVXM

She’d spent all this time building up speed and power, and with Nox wide open, she launches herself at him! “SHIIIIIIINE… SPAAAAAAAAARK! V-MAAAAAX!” Thunder echoes again, and she tackles him with full force! There’s a very brief moment where Nox almost is able to take the attack… yet that one fades quickly. The last thing you see before he’s knocked away… is a smile on his face.

‘Good… match…’ he tells you telepathically. And then is thrown out of not just the ring, the stadium, but even the boundaries of Mifan itself! He lands in the water a substantial distance away, with enough force that it’s like someone detonated a massive bomb underneath the water. Pantea herself seems a bit dazed from her own attack.

Too dazed to really notice Ledgic still in this and quickly taking the opportunity to grab her with materialized chains, quickly slamming her down. Gah! So close…! But you’re running close on time. What to do…?

>A. Free her first! Then she can take another breather
>B. Better safe than sorry, head out, she can handle herself

Well that was annoying, but it's dealt with. Sorry about the delay again, we're back!

Pantea struggles against the restraints, trying to fly up and away from Ledgic, to no avail. ‘Pantea, take a breather again. I’ve got this.’ you tell her, flying down and slashing out. You do manage to free her, but you also realize the restraints are somehow Magically enhanced. Pantea keeps trying to remove them, now at least out of combat, as you put your focus on Ledgic.

He materializes a large staff, staring you down. You decide to try something else. After all, the biggest threat is dealt with. You’re able to try something a bit more… glittery. Hehehehehehe. Ledgic launches into the air, firing Ki blasts around you to try and keep you in place. He then thrusts the staff down at you, empowered with his Ki.

Except it doesn’t hit YOU. You’ve materialized a decoy ahead of you that explodes into a sparkling flurry of glitter, enough to nearly cover the whole arena! And Ledgic fell right into your trap!

…Aaaaand there’s glitter all over your sensors. You’re fighting blind for the moment. Damn it.

You use telekinesis to shake off the glitter and then throw it in the direction of Ledgic, managing to actually hit him with it! He tries to swat as much of it away as possible, but it’s distracted him! You have your mech grab the Blazing Sword tight and move it towards your side. Ledgic finally erupts in an Explosive Wave to try and burn the glitter off, but he leaves himself open!

“IAIGIRI!”

You slash at him, full force! Ledgic does barely manage to stop your attack, this time making a genuine Ki sword and putting all his power into it. But you’re slowly pushing him back! Just a bit more!

“HRRAAAAH!” Pantea finally forces the restraints off herself and leaps into combat, her white aura blazing around her! Readying one last Charge Shot, she leaps onto your mech’s shoulder. “Checkmate!”

https://youtu.be/TZ7kUss8bjo

The Charge Shot hits, stunning Ledgic. And you follow through with the swing, the end result less a slash and more like you hit him with a mech-sized baseball bat. Just like Nox before him, Ledgic is knocked out of the ring, the stadium, and the boundaries of Mifan itself!

https://youtu.be/JAaQ1kZiues

You… you did it! YOU DID IT! You both did it, you’ve WON! Pantea looks at you with a cheeky grin on her face. You raise up your mech’s hand, and she high-fives it. With her still on the shoulder, you then hold the Blazing Sword up high, in VICTORY!

“Unbelievable! Izumi and Pantea have knocked both of their foes out of the park! THEY WILL ADVANCE TO THE FINAL ROUND TOMORROW AGAINST PEPPA AND KELI!” Pilaf declares, to the uproarious cheering of the crowds. “And regardless of who comes out on top tomorrow, both teams have demonstrated some of the best we’ve seen in all of Mifan! Let’s give them all a big cheer!”

There are calls of Izzy, Pantea, Peppa, and Keli all through the area. Tomorrow. It’ll finally come to an end then.

Okay! We are back!

>>5363651
Meanwhile, up on the Grand Kai’s planet…

“Man, what a match!” Grand Kai says with a pump of his fist in the air. “That cous of yours is somethin’ else. That Pantea girl too, ey Gohan?” he comments, gently elbowing you in the ribs and smirking.

“They’ve both been doing amazingly. Seeing what Mugen’s fighters were capable of was pretty cool, but I knew Pantea and Izzy would come out on top.” you state, stretching a bit.

“Hmm… so now it’s her and Pantea, against Peppa and Keli.” your namesake notes, rubbing his chin. “I guess either way, it looks like you’d be coming back at the end.”

Grand Kai snaps his fingers. “Say, that reminds me. I’ve been thinkin’ on that, and given it’ll be your big return home, how’s about you do it in style?”

That gets you to raise your eyebrow. “I’m listening.” Grand Kai just materializes his guitar. And now you’re grinning from ear to ear. “Okay, this is something they wouldn’t expect.”

“Buu wanna try too!” the little Majin cheers, pumping his arms upward. “That sounds like fun!”

As everyone starts to head out with the end of the day’s matches, you and Grand Kai still chatting over this idea, Olibu presents you with a question. “Say, Gohan. Which of the teams will you be rooting for in the final?”

Hmm… good question…

>A. Peppa and Keli
>B. Izzy and Pantea
>C. Eh, neither. Just gonna enjoy the match and plan for our Grand entrance. Heh, get it, Grand Kai? Hehe

“Eh, if I’m being absolutely honest? Neither. Or rather, I don’t want to pick sides here. Both teams are great, and both definitely deserve to take home the title. I’m just gonna enjoy the match, aaaand maybe do some more planning for our Grand entrance.” You nudge the elder Kai gently. “Get it, Grand? Hehehehe.”

He laughs out loud, with even King Kai chuckling next to him. “Ah you’re great, kid. That sounds like the perfect plan.”

“Pluuuuus… okay like, call me paranoid, but there’s a pattern at these events. Some big dumb villains trying to crash the party somehow. Happened even before mom and dad got married.” you point out. “Don’t want someone to try to nab the Dragon Balls at the last moment, you know. Especially since there ARE some folks right there who’ve either attempted it before or would have high incentives to.”

“Ah, you have a good point there.” Olibu agrees.

“Though look at all the other people there. It’s not like they’re just left out in the open.” the elder Gohan begins. “Goku and Maple, Chi-chi and Acer, Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, Lapis, Lazuli, Piccolo, Raditz…” he lists off, continuing for a good while.

“I think what he’s trying to say,” the elder Izumi interrupts. “Is that they’re in good hands.”

That is a good point. Buuuut… having just that little bit more insurance might be worth it. Buu floats by, and you smile at the little guy. “Even if that’s true… maybe a fight over them isn’t what’s needed. Could show them there’s another way. A better way.”

Izumi smiles brightly at you. “Glad to hear that.”

You smile back at her. “But yeah, we can keep an eye on them and everything, though also need to be ready for a rockin’ entrance.” As all of you keep walking, you look upward. ‘Good luck, sis, cous, Pantea. And you too, Keli. Thanks for being such a great partner to sis.’

With Buu following along on drums, you and Grand Kai rock out together. Been trying out a number of different songs, but you think you’ve got a solid idea on your options now. A strong guitar riff ends the practice session, and the three of you grin at a job well done. “Haha! Great work, Gohan.”

“Thanks, Grand Kai! Still glad you gave me the chance to learn from you. It’s been great up here.”

“Heh, well, you’ve still got a life ahead of ya, but remember this: you’re welcome here any time.”

“Buu had fun! Wanna come back too!” the little Majin declares, to which Grand Kai gives him a nervous smile.

“Y-yeah bud, you and Gohan both! Hahaha…” He leans in and whispers to you. “Do try and keep a close eye on the lil’ guy, you might’ve beaten’ the evil outta him, but that pint-sized package ‘s still Majin Buu.”

“Ah don’t worry, Buu and I are gonna have lots of fun on Earth, and I know of a little blue hero that he can learn from…” As you say this, Buu’s face lights up in excitement. Heh, knew that’d get his attention. Oh man Pantea would love showing him all the games in that series too. Well, definitely something to plan on... Anyway! You’ve got some ideas on your rockin’ return song, but what’ll you to with?

“Hey, Grand Kai, got one more thing I wanna practice. You in?” you question. Oh this’ll be a GREAT one.

“I can dig it, kid. Let’s hear it!”

The two of you practice this one for quite a while. You can get the notes right most of the time, but it takes some considerable effort to really keep the beat consistent. Thankfully, Grand Kai is an expert at this kind of thing. Buu’s not quite as adept at it, but you at the very least have it down fine. Awesome!

With that all done, you feel pretty confident for your return. Still… kinda got a while before anything happens. Maybe you can check in on some folks? Or… maybe you can see if you can keep an eye on Fu and Basilea, and probably Mugen too given his wild card status. Or maybe have some chats up here, see if you can find anyone who might want to talk for a bit.

>A. See if you can talk with Peppa for a bit
>B. See if you can talk with Izzy for a bit
>C. See if you can talk with Pantea for a bit
>D. See if you can talk with mom and dad for a bit

>F. You know… Mugen’s goal here has been pretty illusive. You definitely should check on him

The implications of this situation have potentially heavens-shaking consequences, so I need to know you're being straight with me, and not answering to further the goals of anyone else or serving any sneaky schemes, okay?

Ugh. Sorry again. Stuff came up. We're back, even if it's a very short night again:

>>5366029
Well, you’ve got the time. You decide to check up on Peppa and Izzy first. Finding King Kai, he suggests to get both of them at once. Once he gets a connection established… “Hey sis, cous, can you hear me?”

‘G-GOHAN?!’ Peppa exclaims in shock.

‘Woah hey hello what’s this? Peppa? Gohan? Why can I- …yeah, it’s my cousin, Sachie. Apparently? …Unless this is Fu.’

“I’m not Fu, guys.” you say with a laugh. “Not interrupting anything, am I?”

‘Not at all, bro.’ Peppa responds, calmer this time. ‘Was just going over strategies with Keli.’

‘Ssssstrategies huh?’ Izzy inquires.

You just know Peppa’s rolling her eyes at that. ‘We can take a break. What’s the occasion, Gohan?’

“Mostly wanted to wish you both the best of luck tomorrow. Grand Kai and I and everyone up here have been watching the matches. They’ve been a blast, and we’re all impressed with how much everyone’s done.”

‘Heh… yeah, we’ve been doing pretty great.’ Izzy remarks. ‘Still, contacting me instead of Pantea, cous? Too embarrassed to?’

“Oh hush. Point is, I’m happy for you both, and I wanted you two to know I’ll be rooting for you both of you tomorrow.”

‘Thanks, Gohan.’ sis says kindly. ‘I’ve missed ya. And I hope you’ll be up for a rematch when you’re back.’

“Heh, I’ll be looking forward to that.”

‘...All right, all right, fine, I’ve missed you too.’ Izzy grumbles. ‘Lot of us have. Hmm? Heh, yeah, Zarid says he wants to meet up with ya again when you’ve got the chance.’

“Guess I’m not the only one who got an apprenticeship under gods, huh?” you say with a bit of a grin. “Still, it’s amazing what he’s been able to accomplish.”

‘I’ll pass that along to him. You’ve got a lot of catching up to do.’

You nod, even if she can’t see it. “I know. And I intend to make the most of it.”

‘You have a lot of chore days you gotta catch up on. Been up to me to make sure Groucho’s been cleaned up after, and all the dishes days, and-’

You just start laughing as Peppa lists them off, and even King Kai giggles a bit. “Okay, okay, I’ll make it up to ya. See you soon, sis.”

‘See you soon, Gohan.’

‘Same. Pantea and I’ll make sure you’re back home!’

You give King Kai a look, and the conversation ends. “Well, that was nice. Got anyone else you need to talk to?”

Hrmn. Could be mom and dad, or Pantea, but… one comes to mind. “Think you can get me in contact with Fu?”

He smiles nervously. “I… can try. Gimme a moment.” King Kai’s antenna move around for a bit, finally locating him.

“Hello Fu.”

‘Oho! Gohan! And hello King Kai!’ he greets, causing King Kai to mumble nervously. ‘To what do I owe the occasion?’

“Fu. I have something I need to ask you, and I want your most sincere and honest answer. The implications of this situation have potentially heavens-shaking consequences, so I need to know you're being straight with me, and not answering to further the goals of anyone else or serving any sneaky schemes, okay?”

‘I’m listening.’ he says nonchalantly.

Your brow furrows. “Fu, I mean it. Give me an honest answer here.”

‘Fine, fine. I’ll answer as honestly as possible.’

“You mean it?” Need to be absolutely sure.

‘On my honor as a scientist!’ he declares.

…Good enough. “Good. Fu. Can you shred some rock and roll?”

You at first hear a squeal of excitement. But then it dies down. And… his tone becomes much more honest. ‘You want me to join you in in some cool rock band, yeah? …Sigh. I can’t lie to you about this, Gohan. As fun as it’d be, I can’t do this. …Well, at least not currently. Got the Promised Day to help out with, got my mission here, got DOZENS of projects I want to work on, then there’s gramps and- OW OW OW OW! Basilea! Come on! I wasn’t spilling any secrets, jeeze! Let go of my ear, that’s annoying!’

You stifle a chuckle. “Okay, so that’s a no.”

‘I meeeaaaan, it’s not something I can join in on YET. Maybe after things have… settled down, y’know?’

>A. So, when might that be?
>B. Hi Basilea. I heard about what you were gonna wish for
>C. Can you at least promise to not mess around with the Dragon Balls tomorrow?
>D. Something else?

>>5367069
Exen votes,


>B & C.
>D. Don't let Fu weasel out of only not being technically responsible, and try to figure out how Basilea thought that wish was going to help her.

>People might have assumed there could be a far less malicious ulterior motive to it, after all... And if we can get her to actually admit to any of the sort, all the better.

>We'd keep it a secret of course, because we're so dang good natured and such heroic nonsense.

“All right. Just… can you promise to not to mess around with the Dragon Balls tomorrow? Please?” you plead.

‘I mean… got some stuff I’ve reeeaaaally been wanting to ask Shenron, plus kinda have a job to do…’ Fu gives in a completely non-committal tone.

“Fu…”

‘Look, this has been a blast, really! I’ve got SO much great new data to work with, especially with the observer effect in place this time!’

You blink. “…This time?”

He doesn’t elaborate. ‘But… I guess the BEST I can say is that I’m not 100% sure I’ll be able to pull it off successfully with everyone around. Mom still wants me to TRY, buuuuut…’

“...Can you fake it?”

Fu is quiet for a moment. A quiet telepathic message enters your mind. ‘Maybe.’ Then he keeps up the same nonchalant yet chipper attitude. ‘Gohaaaaan, Basilea’s giving me the angriest glare right now!’

…Oh. Oh you get it. “Actually, on that note, I DID hear something about that wish she was gonna make.”

‘Oh yeeaaaah, haha, I guess you would. Yeah she didn’t much like it hearing it blabbed that she wanted to bring you b-ACK!’

And you just know Basilea’s trying to throttle him now. Giving King Kai a look, you get in contact with her too. “Hey, Basilea… why? Why try to bring me back? Were you really just wanting to one-up Peppa, ruin her moment?”

You can hear her huff indignantly. ‘Maybe I did! Maybe I would get a chance to rub it in her face that-!’

“You don’t have to lie to me. I’m not gonna start blabbing about it.” you explain to her. “Promise.”

She gives an annoyed groan and grumble. ‘...Promise?’

“Promise.”

Basilea sighs. ‘…I felt… bad, okay?’

“Youwha…?”

‘I felt bad and wanted to at least… do something to make up for what’s happened, okay?!’

…

You hold back laughter as best as you can. You also bite your tongue before you call her a tsundere. She would try to send you right back here if she heard that. “Eheh heh heh… you know Basilea? You’re not really as bad as you think you are.”

‘Quiet.’

“Anyway, consider my offer, Fu. I’ve got a sample ready for tomorrow that might change your mind.”

‘Sure thing!~ Laaaater!~’

And that’s it now. King Kai looks up at you. “You all good, kid?”

>A. Yep. Thanks again, King Kai

“Yep! Thanks again, King Kai.” you say with a respectful bow. A little while later, you and Buu are talking together, Grand Kai listening along with a few others. “So… still gotta prep for everything else. Need to talk wardrobe, face paint, masks, maybe theme it! Sentai? Oh, oh, and a STAGE! A proper stage, with pyrotechnics…”

“Pyro…tekmiks?” Buu repeats.

“Think tiny explosions that are more for decoration.”

“Ooooh! Buu like that!” he cheers.

You all talk through the next few hours, only stopping when you realize it’s breakfast time. After that, everyone who’s been watch gets settled to watch the big finale, and even a few more decide to join in to see what all the fuss is about. Some you recognize from your own tournament, others are warriors that you haven’t really talked with but have seen around a few times.

“So it’s down to these two teams, is it?” Pikkon states with curiosity.

“Yep! Got one you’re gonna bet on?” Torbie asks him, nudging his arm.

“Hmm… I remember the power that was on display with the fused fighter between that girl and her friend. Pantea, was it? If she can pull off a similar trick, I’d wager they would have the best chance at success.”

“But the problem with the Fusion Dance is getting the right chance to use it.” one of a pair of Metamoran warriors notes, his partner nodding in agreement. “It can be done quickly, but should it fail, the results are… less than pleasant.”

“Still, I think I’ll join in on rooting for her team.” the elder Izumi comments, a wink showing she’s mostly doing it for the fun of it.

“That’s all nice and well, but I think I’ll be Team Peppa and Keli all the way!” your namesake declares. “Those girls have shown some of the best teamwork in this whole thing. Go get ‘em, girls!”

Torbie chuckles. “Hahaha, then I’ll join in as well.”

More fighters start to join in, ready to cheer for their respective team, while others take your approach and get ready to cheer both on. Before the fight starts, though, King Kai waves at you. “Oh right, Gohan, Maple got in contact just a bit ago. She says the Dragon Balls are safe and sound, and even if there are some with their eyes on ‘em, things should be fine. So just sit back and relax.”

You place your hands behind your head and smile. “I think I’ll do just that.”

“Who want popcorn?” Buu asks in a sing-song voice, carrying a half-dozen bathtub sized boxes of them with him, sharing a few with others… and keeping one for himself.

You watch your sister and cousin head into the ring, Keli and Pantea right behind their partners. Pilaf, now with Fu and Baozi by him, each on microphones, start to play to the crowds. “Lllllladies and gentlemen, Earthlings and aliens and visitors from beyond, what a wonderful set of fights these have been! I’ve heard stories of the Mifan Tag Tournament’s spectacular showings before, but seeing it up close has been a thrill like nothing else!” Fu begins.

“In all the tournaments I’ve hosted, none have been nearly as spectacular as this one!” Pilaf continues. “Daughter of Maple, a previous Mifan Champion, Peppa! One of Mifan’s very own, Keli! Daughter of another previous Mifan Champion, Chi-chi, Izumi Mahogany! And heiress to Capsule Corp., Pantea Briefs! I wish you all the best of luck in this grand finale for the MIFAN TAG TOURNAMENT!”

“Fighters ready…?” Baozi asks, your sis and cousin fist-bumping in affirmation as they look up at him. “BEGIN!”

Right as Baozi calls the start of the match, Peppa and Izzy jump back, Pantea and Keli clashing in midair. They exchange a few blows, just testing each other out initially, but Keli is quick to take things up a notch. Dodging one of Pantea’s attacks, she uses Instant Transmission and Multi-Form to warp all over the place and start to take pot shots at her. Pantea’s able to dodge them, yet it leaves her open for a quick surprise attack by Peppa, who’d taken to hiding her Ki already before she teleports in and lands a Rasenken in Pantea’s gut. She’s knocked back, but recovers… and then materializes a pair of sunglasses as she keeps backing away.

“SOLAR FLARE!” Izzy yells out.

Keli’s quick to react to it, shielding her eyes from the blinding light. Peppa though isn’t phased by it, since her goggles block the attack. It… feels a little odd that Izzy picked THAT of all things to use against them. Peppa fires off a Rasen Magnum that Izzy scatters to get out of the way of. Keli backs out of combat, and Izzy does the same, leaving Pantea and Peppa to face one another. The two power up, Peppa as much as she can without going into Super Saiyan proper, but then she hides her Ki and forms a Ki drill, digging into the floor. Ah, the classic Ki mine strategy. Can’t tell where she puts them, so Pantea’ll need to be careful.

…Or at least, that’s what you would be saying, if she didn’t send her Spirit Bits out and somehow track Peppa’s movements! She sends each of them some good distance above where Peppa apparently plants her Ki mines, then waits for the right moment, focusing her energy around herself. The moment Peppa reappears with Instant Transmission, Kamehameha charging in her hands, right behind Pantea, the purple-haired girl’s aura surges white and then condenses around her torso. Pantea jets forward, Ki trailing behind her like wings of light, catching Peppa off-guard.

Pantea then has her Spirit Bits fire down at all the Ki mines as Peppa attempts to get the upper hand again by trying to knock her into them. That’s enough of a surprise for Pantea to be able to turn around and hit her with a Charge Shot! But before she can follow up, Keli teleports to Peppa’s aid, getting her out of danger and letting a dark aura surround her.

Huh. You can guess it was something Izzy did with that Solar Flare, but that’s still a surprise. Peppa’s relied on her stealth skills for quite a while, so stands to reason someone would try to find a way to counter them.

…And at the same time, you notice the Fu beside Pilaf very subtly shimmers and then splits in two, with his copy disappearing from view in the blink of an eye. Most everyone else is too focused on the fight to really catch it, but you certainly do.

>A. ...King Kai, real quick, can you connect me with him?

“Psst. King Kai. Real quick, can I get in contact with Maple?”

“Hm? Er, sure?” he responds. “Somethin’ up?”

“Nothing she can’t handle.” You place your hand on his shoulder. “Heeeeey mom. It’s… Ghost Son. Fu’s up to something. Keep an eye out.” you warn. You also grin just a little cheekily at that. You know Peppa and mom’s little routine.

‘Copy that, Ghost Son. We’ve got Fu in our sites. Over and out.’

And that’s handled. You sit back, King Kai giving you a bit of a look. “You know, I’m not a phone, Gohan.”

“I know, I know, sorry about that. Didn’t want to interrupt the fight. She can handle him just fine. Besides, it’s probably gonna be way funnier if she handles him.”

Speaking of, Keli uses the Makaioken, using it in conjunction with Instant Transmission and a barrage of Dodonpas to try and keep Pantea pinned down. A few do manage to do some damage, but Pantea keeps Keli’s focus on her, Izzy managing to jump into the ring and successfully transform into her Mahou form. And with that, she has her Spirit Bits surround Keli, barraging her with Light-boosted attacks. Oooh, that’s gotta sting.

Keli is able to eventually get out of the way of the attacks, but she’s on the back foot now. Pantea notices Peppa attempt a sneak attack on Izzy, and is able to block successfully, even as Peppa powers up into Super Saiyan. She keeps Peppa occupied for a bit, while Izzy keeps her attention on Keli. An attempted combo with Keli’s Ki lasso and Peppa’s telekinesis with one of Izzy’s Charge Shots is stopped by Izzy breaking the lasso with her Spirit Bits.

Peppa and Pantea move out this time, taking a bit of a breather as Izzy keeps trying to hound Keli with her techniques. Keli eventually powers down from the Makaioken, with your cousin confident that she’s got this in the bag. But… Keli isn’t backing down. She’s got a plan, and looks like Peppa does too.

Meanwhile, you notice the Fu near Pilaf and Baozi look a little… annoyed. Heh. You knew it. It’s a very brief flash across his face, but it’s enough to tell you that you made the right call. Hmm… you try to see if Ledgic, Nox, and Mugen are up to anything, but looks like they’re content at the moment. Whew.

“Heh, Izzy may be a bit of an underdog in this, but she’s fighting smart.” the elder Izumi states proudly.

“Ah but I’m not counting Peppa out just yet! She’s the real powerhouse of the tournament.” your namesake responds.

Mutaito speaks up next. “While she may have a disadvantage against some of Izumi’s abilities, I would not count out Keli either. Her teamwork and synergy have gotten them this far. They could just as easily go all the way.”

Meanwhile Pikkon, and even Olibu, cheer out for Pantea. “Come on kid, you’ve got plenty more you can do! Show them your REAL power!”

You smile wide, and cheer them all on. This is really picking up!

Keli creates two Ki lassos, slinging both towards Izzy. Your cousin dodges them, and then decides to try and keep Keli locked down, literally, with a surprise Clothes Beam to try to shackle her legs to the floor. That fails, because Keli pulls out something she hadn’t been using much this tournament. “RAIO-KEN!”

The sudden increase in speed, combined with Keli utilizing Instant Transmission on top of it, allows her to actually get her Ki lassos to wrap around Izzy. She struggles for a bit against them, but catches on quick enough to realize this wasn’t Keli’s real goal. The silver-haired woman holds her in place just long enough for Peppa to teleport in… trying to snatch the Hakkero from Izzy with telekinesis!

Trying. Izzy caught on just quick enough to get a message to Pantea, who blitzes in and snatches it for herself. Keli and Izzy back out this time, Keli sitting down and focusing herself… while Peppa’s power explodes around her! She transforms into Super Saiyan 2, then seems to just keep powering up. The whole arena shakes from her power. Pantea lets out all of her own strength, and as Peppa launches at her, she’s able to block the initial series of blows with her wing-shaped barriers, boosted with the Hakkero.

…And then you catch glimpse of Fu with just a hint of smug on his face, like he’s got a plan. King Kai then has a surprised look on HIS face for just a moment, but that fades. He glances at you and telepathically lets you know, ‘She says the situation’s still under control. Just gonna have to call in some help.’

Well… that’s a LITTLE reassuring. Still…

“Psst. Grand Kai. Kinda want to keep an eye on a thing. Mind if I could use like… I dunno, a crystal ball to scry through?” you ask in a whisper.

He materializes one for you and floats it to you. “Don’t worry too much, else you’ll miss the best parts of the fight.”

“I know, I know. Okay, Buu, wanna help me with this?” you request. The little Majin nods and focuses with you. The two of you move away from the main screen and focus, trying to find Fu…

You are in no way prepared for what you see. Good thing the volume on this thing isn’t too high.

“GET BACK HERE YOU!” Maple yells out, letting out an electric barrier that somehow works with her telekinesis to push off the… rather hefty amount of glitter that ended up on her.

Fu cheekily backs away from her… a Dragon Ball in hand. “Oh that’s cool! Is that an adaptation of the thing you used against my mo-?”

“THERE!” Tien calls out, with him holding Fu in place with Chiaotzu, the both of them using telekinesis to keep him there.

“Now. Hand it over.” Maple demands.

“Mmmmmmnope!”

“FU. I AM MISSING THE FIGHT.” she growls.

Fu blinks, his eyes looking around. “Weeeeell… just goes to show should’ve used Multi-Form like me!” A second Fu jumps in and grabs the Dragon Ball from the first. “Really Maple, I hoped you would have-”

“FU!” She sends the torrent of glitter at him, Tien and Chiaotzu trying to move focus to the second one.

“Whoop whoop whoop whoop!” Fu runs in place for a second and then scrams, leading them on what… could be described as a chase sequence. One where the cast of characters attempting to stop him steadily grows larger.

…What you do notice is that Basilea isn’t there with him. She must be watching the fight. Heh.

WAIT CRAP, RIGHT. “Buu, keep an eye on them.” you tell the little Majin… who’s having the time of his life watching it all play out.

Meanwhile, Peppa’s gaining the upper hand against Pantea. Rather than trying the stealth approach, she’s going full force, but keeping Pantea guessing on what she’ll do next. Swerves, teleports, feints, they all allow her to land a good Janken combo against Pantea. She tries to counter with her dad’s Wolf Fang Fist, but Peppa’s speed and strength are just a bit more than what she’s expecting.

Pantea does manage to get some distance and fires off a Cross Charge Shot with the Hakkero boosting her power… but Peppa actually manages to counter them, by using her Ki drills to punch and destroy the attacks. Well damn. Izzy tries to get in an MP Buster to drop her power, but Keli uses Multi-Form and Instant Transmission to grab Peppa out of the way and down out of danger. Noticing her try to also heal what few injuries Peppa’s sustained, Pantea has her Spirit Bits try to harass the pair, barraging down at them.

Keli leaves combat again, and Peppa lunges forward, putting Pantea on the defensive again. Things are really heating up now!

“Need a refill, Buu?” you ask the little Majin, who nods enthusiastically. “Okay, you keep watch on that, and let me know if something comes up. Either urgent or… exceptionally funny.”

“Okay!” he cheerfully replies. And now Fu’s made a multitude of copies of himself and is currently being chased by six different people. Yyyyep. You get Buu a drink, and even some more popcorn, and then grab some for yourself and keep watch on the main fight. Should take some notes on this for later…

https://youtu.be/jBjtStafoS4

Peppa keeps putting out more and more power, and while Pantea is doing a good job defending against it, she’s still on the back foot. Izzy keeps attempting to help her, while Keli keeps playing interference. Pantea pulls out almost all the tricks she’s used up to this point, even using the Hakkero with her Fire Magic to try and let out a massive inferno around Peppa. Your sister lifts up her arm and forms a Ki drill, pumping more and more power into it as it starts spinning… and draws in the fire as it grows larger!

Pantea tries to avoid it, dashing around the ring as Peppa swings the blazing drill downward, trying to corner her. As Pantea’s speed increases, she actually starts to circle around the spinning inferno, traveling up it while doing her best to avoid getting hit by it, with her aura flaring out like wings once more. She actually manages to get to the top, with your sister wide open!

“SHIIIIINE…! SPAAAAARK!”

But then Keli bursts out the Makaio-ken and teleports behind her, grabbing on to Pantea, right at the moment she’s about to tackle Peppa!

Izzy leaps in and tries to hit Keli with an MP Buster… and then Keli teleports herself and Pantea right near your cousin. Pantea attempts to redirect herself, even letting go of the Hakkero to lessen the impact, Izzy sets up a barrier to soften the blow and try and bounce her back. It… kinda works. But the colliding fighters are all knocked away, Keli included, scattered across the arena. Pantea recovers first, with Peppa having to fling away the blazing Ki drill high into the sky so she doesn’t hit her partner, firing a Ki blast at it to detonate it in a brilliant explosion.

Pantea stands defiantly against her… but Peppa makes it clear that she hasn’t hit her limit yet. No, not by a long shot. “This has been fun, Pantea, Izzy, but Keli and I aren’t giving up that easily. We’re gonna win this… breaking our limits along the way!” And as she declares that, a red aura surrounds her…

Peppa’s explosive power and blazing red aura have her hitting like a meteor. Keli and Izzy are able to get back up as she focuses on Pantea, who is having an even harder time keeping up now that she doesn’t have the Hakkero. She keeps trying to put some distance between herself and Peppa, but your sister’s simply too quick for her. Pantea’s white aura clashes with Peppa’s red and gold, twirling together and making it look like there’s a roaring fire in the middle of the ring. Peppa then headbutts Pantea, tossing her back. She and Keli get in one more combo move, with Keli unleashing a ferocious uppercut that hits like a tornado, sending Pantea upward, while Peppa hammers her back down with a Rasenken! Pantea’s knocked to the floor so hard it leaves a sizable crater.

And… it looks like Pantea might actually be down for the count. Keli gives Peppa a thumb’s up… and is then hit by a surprise MP Buster from Izzy. She drops down out of the Makaio-ken and hits the floor as well. Izzy and Peppa stare each other down. Peppa’s red aura fades, and in a flash, she darts towards Izzy… while also splitting off a copy of herself to attend to Keli, getting her out of combat.

Your cousin does the same, moving Pantea out of harm’s way, and even getting the Hakkero back… and pays the price for it, as Peppa’s able to still hit hard and fast. Izzy’s knocked back, but looks like she’s ready to try one last gambit of her own. Their copies merge back with themselves, Peppa crossing her arms as she floats a bit above the ground.

You remember your own match against Izzy a while back, that magical mech of hers packs a punch, and you were able to hold your own against Peppa pretty well. It’s then that Yazai actually asks you a question. “Gohan, you’ve got personal experience in this matter. Who would you rather face in a situation like this? Peppa or the younger Izumi?”

Huh. Well…

>A. Peppa
>B. Izzy

>B: Izzy
>E: Neither is any less of a challenge, but Peppa and me know each other too well while Izzy is equally as likely to catch me off guard as I am to beat her before she can throw out her best tricks.

“All things considered? Izzy. But that’s not to say it would be easy, far from it.” You watch as Izzy holds up a crystal, and in a flash calls forth her mech. “Neither are any less a challenge than the other, but Peppa and I know basically all the tricks we’d try to pull against one another. And while that leaves us fairly even, I also know she’ll have some power waiting in the reserves, and she’ll wait for just the right moment to throttle it out. Izzy is a tricky fighter, she knows how I fight, and like I said, she beat me once before. But now I’ve got personal experience with her tricks. I might be able to take her down before it comes to that. Still a challenge, but it’s not quite as even a fight as it’d be against Peppa.”

“Interesting assessment.” Yazai says with a smile. “If she can get everything out, though?”

“Then it’s a matter of lasting long enough. Izzy’ll run out of steam eventually, Peppa? She’ll find some way to keep going.”

https://youtu.be/ovD-0aZSFxI

Now it’s Izzy’s turn to go on the offensive… and with both her mech and the Hakkero, she actually is able to gain the upper hand. Peppa tries to go for the joints, initially at range, then getting up close to try and use the mech’s size against it. That doesn’t go anywhere near as well as she planned. While the ranged attacks do leave some damage, the moment Peppa gets in close, Izzy lets out a barrier infused with Magic… and has it switch several times over. First Lightning, then Shadow, and finally finally Wind. Peppa’s first stunned, then slowed, and finally knocked away. Izzy has her mech next call forth the Blazing Sword, Peppa having to use Instant Transmission to even dodge it. Which proves to be even more difficult for her, as next comes Izzy’s Spirit Bits, all of them surrounding Peppa and blasting down at her to keep her in place.

“THIS IS IT, PEPPA! WATASUNAMI!” Water and Wind Magic surrounds Izzy as she calls forth a massive, mighty dragon that surges towards your sister. And just like when it hit you, it’s an overwhelming attack. Peppa’s launched high into the air, then slammed back down, with Izzy ready to push her right out of the ring with her water dragon.

But then it fades. Peppa’s left right outside of combat, panting and definitely heavily damaged. But not out yet. It’s at first confusing, but then you notice. Keli’s managed to recover, and not only that… she’s taken advantage of the damage Peppa did earlier.

Nabbing the Hakkero from Izzy. And doing something… admittedly VERY risky.

“Don’t think you heeded that warning all that well, Izzy. Peppa and I both are going to break our limits! MAKAIO-KEN!”

https://youtu.be/A1OPeV-R91o

The demonic Ki welling up inside her reacts with the Hakkero, transforming the already potent boost from this power into something even further beyond. Keli first lassos up the mech’s arms to prevent Izzy from using the Blazing Sword again, then leaps high into the air. The Spirit Bits surround Keli once more, but she blasts each of them away with a Dodonpa infused with demonic power. She then holds her hands together in a… sort of triangular shape. With the Hakkero between them.

A Tri-Beam blasts out, crashing into the mech and blowing massive chunks out of the ring. Izzy’s left with little in the way of options as it keeps taking damage. Every hit keeps her locked down, and knowing there’s little else she can do, she waits for a pause in Keli’s attacks and finally dematerializes the mech to escape.

Izzy rolls away, and Keli has to stop herself as she starts to wear her body out. The silver-haired woman lands on the floor, kneeling and panting as her dark aura fades. Izzy struggles to stand, but she’s also started to take too much damage from all this. Everyone’s pretty exhausted at this point, even Peppa after that direct hit. The battle might be drawing to a close soon…

Keli forces herself up, Izzy panting and watching carefully. Outside of combat, Pantea is able to sit up, Peppa shaking the water off herself, the two of them observing their partners cautiously. Knowing she can’t pull off another boosted Makaio-ken like before, Keli tries one last trick. With her hand clenching the Hakkero tight, furious winds surround her arm. She teleports right to Izzy, trying to uppercut her with one final move.

“SHOTENKEN!”

Except it doesn’t connect. Izzy’s yanked away by Pantea using her telekinesis. While the whirlwind of energy soars into the air, Pantea readies one last Shin Burning Attack, Izzy clasping her hands together like the maw of a dragon. The fireball is launched forward, boosted with the brilliant white beam erupting from your cousin’s hands. Peppa’s just not quick enough to really react to it, and Keli gets hit by the full force of the attack. She’s knocked clear out of the ring and out of bounds.

Your sister reaches out for her, even trying to use telekinesis to pull her to safety. But it’s too little, too late. In spite of that… Keli doesn’t look too upset. She smiles weakly before passing out… still showing she had the Hakkero in hand. Peppa solemnly nods, then focuses her attention on the two still in the ring. Evidently, they know they have nothing left to lose, so they try one last trick.

“FUUUU…SION! HAAAAAA!”

Before her stands a warrior with blonde and purple hair, the normal Metamoran outfit given additional detailing thanks to Izzy’s Mahou form. The crow around you looks on in awe. The fusion lets her aura explode around her, the white and emerald colors flowing together into a sort of aquamarine shade. She’s going to put everything she can into these last moments, silently promising she won’t hold anything back, not even giving a declaration of her name.

And your sister doesn’t hold anything back either. Peppa roars out as she enters, hitting Super Saiyan 3, her aura erupting further with a red, flame-like tint. The clash of red and green sends shockwaves through the arena, Peppa swerving best she can to avoid the hits, while the fused fighter uses the smarts and skills of both her component parts to keep them coming. That said, even with her reinvigorated strength, she can’t last forever, as Peppa’s still able to land a few good hits on her. She starts teleporting around and delivering as many Wind-boosted hits as she can, but each time she does, the fused fighter has massive Spirit Bits blast at her… much like those Force Blasters that Pandel used against you. Eventually the two take their clashes high into the air, with the fusion calling the Force Blasters to her right arm, coating them in Light and Lightning Magic and forming what looks like a giant hammer. Peppa readies her own final blow, a massive Ki drill erupting out.

The attacks connect, and a worrying amount of power is let out. For a moment there’s a blinding light that fills the screen… but it’s then contained. Buu walks over to you with the crystal ball… showing Maple with the Dragon Ball in hand standing beside Fu, the two of them holding their hands out to reinforce the barriers protecting the audience. You smile, whispering out, “Thanks, Fu.”

The light fades away, and both Peppa and the fusion stay in midair for a moment, hitting one another with a cross-counter. They… then fall to the ring, with the latter splitting back into Pantea and Izzy once she hits the floor. The audience erupts in cheers, but Pilaf still starts the count. You wait on the edge of your seat, hoping one of them stands up.

“Three… four… five…”

“COME ON, PANTEA! YOU’VE STILL GOT SOME STRENGTH LEFT, YOU CAN STAND!”

“DON’T GIVE UP IZZY! YOU MADE IT THIS FAR, YOU CAN GO ALL THE WAY!”

“PEPPA! PEPPA! PEPPA!”

“Six… seven… eight… nine…”

And shocking everyone… none of them stand. All three just lay on the ground, breathing heavily. You notice Peppa trying her best, but she just doesn’t have the strength left. Izzy and Pantea look like they’re out cold.

“T-TEN!” Pilaf calls out in slight shock. “F-folks, I cannot believe it! It’s a TRIPLE knock-out! W-well… we still have Pantea and Izzy inside the ring. Which has been…” He looks at his watch. “Just long enough for them to lose the time count on that…”

The Fu beside him stands up, throwing his arms out as he places his foot on the railing. “But do we want this to be decided on technicality? All of these fighters did so well, gave us a match as good, if not better than the one from the WORLD Tournament!”

Baozi floats up, and then moves towards the ring. “But unlike the World Tournament, we all know there can be more than one Mifan Champion. People of Mifan! Visitors from across the world! Visitors from across the universe! Let your voices be heard!”

You… kinda can’t believe what you’re hearing. There are a couple chuckles from the crowd around you. Looking into the crystal ball again, the Fu beside mom wiping his brow in relief. Mom clonks him on the head for good measure, and he whines about that, but otherwise doesn’t seem to mind.

“Well, you win fair and square. No interference.” he says as he places his hands on his hips. “Promise, on my honor as a scientist.”

Mom just nods.
