“Almost... There. All finished, hun. You've gotta take better care of these, they're sensitive instruments. Don't block heavy attacks with your palms next time.” the blue-haired woman Bulma says, taking her tools from your longtime friend and rival's hand. Wiping her forehead with the back of her dirty, once-white lab coat, she stands up, turning to you. “Hey, Krillin. Mind giving Yamcha here a shot, make sure it's still working?”
“Not a problem, stand back.” you tell her, leveling your own right palm at Yamcha, who raises his left. You fire a small ki orb towards him, the scarred former-bandit catching the blast on his newly-repaired energy absorbing implant. The device functions as designed by Dr. Gero, siphoning away the power of the attack and converting its energy into its own. With a smirk your rival-turned-friend smirks, you both sharing a knowing look before being interrupted by the doctor.
“No energy attacks within the confines of the laboratory. I have sensitive instruments in here. We don't need another setback like three years ago.” Dr. Gero, designer of the implants as well as all the other cybernetic augments you and your fellow warriors have been imbued with says without so much as turning, his focus uninterrupted as he seals back the other fighter's chest. You both turn sheepishly as Gero backs away from Tien Shinhan, the third martial artist of this alliance blinking all three of his eyes. “There, your energy core is stable. While you can unleash the unlimited power generated by the Infinite Energy Core as fast as it can be generated, your body still can't handle that level of increased power your Kikoho releases indefinitely. That technique of yours will still destroy your body with overuse.”
“I understand.” the stoic triclops replies, nodding once. Gero nods back, the two sharing another moment of quiet understanding. Both of them, like the rest of you here all lost someone important in the past five years. Ever since that fool Pilaf released that demon, your world has been plunged into chaos. “We will not fail. No matter what it takes.”
You all share a solemn moment of silence at his declaration, you sharing a knowing look with Yamcha as you recall everything that's happened.
