Okay, we are back!
>>5437853“Fellow Junior Rangers!” you call out to the kids. “Lapis requested I join up with the two of you. Anything to report?”
Tommy and Marron stand at attention and salute. “Nothing to report, Junior Ranger Gohan!” the blonde girl replies, then giggles a little.
“Roger that. I’m here to report that I helped Lapis take down some poachers and their giant combining robot.” you state with almost comical seriousness, nodding to the Pods you’re holding. “He is currently handling the poachers.”
“Woooow!” Tommy exclaims excitedly. “Was it dangerous?”
“For me? Nah, handled ‘em pretty well.” You set the Pods down, then comment to the two, “You know, we could try out a Junior Ranger Team Technique some time.”
“Oh oh oh! Can it be a cool pose?” Marron asks, her eyes lighting up excitedly. “Like your mom does, Gohan!”
Lazuli and Krillin chuckle to themselves a bit, with Krillin asking, “Well, you got any ideas, kiddo?”
“Hmmm… can you hold me and Tommy up, Gohan? So we balance on your shoulders with one foot, while you hold our other foot with your hands?” She then gives Buu an excited look. “Oh, oh, oh, and Tommy and I can hold Buu above you!”
Buu smiles as he points at himself. “Buu be part of it too?”
“Yeah, like… the cool mascot, the friendly face of the team that everybody cheers for!” she pitches to him, and Buu enthusiastically pumps his fists in the air.
“Buu like that!”
Well, it’s silly, but hey, why not? You help the both of them up, and Buu leaps up so he balances on Marron’s hand with one foot, and then Tommy’s with the other. “Now let’s all say ‘Junior Rangers!’”
“JUNIOR RANGERS!~”
Aaaand pose!
…
So this is why mom likes striking such poses so much…
The four of you laugh, and you set them down, now approaching Krillin and Nappa. “Say, I did manage to catch your teamwork during the tournament with the Grand Kai and some others in the Afterlife. Was still a bit of a surprise, but you two did well together. You gonna stick together for next Mifan Tournament, Nappa, Krillin?”
The large Saiyan gives a shrug. “Probably, whenever that is. Therapist said it might be good for me, help me try some new options. I… do think it helped a bit.”
“Hah, a bit? You were great in the tournament.” Krillin tells him with a soft jab to his arm.
Nappa actually smiles at that, continuing, “Probably what kept me from signing up with that Mugen guy when he made the offer.”
>A. Wait, what kind of offer?>B. So, how’s that Turtle Shell thing of yours work, Krillin? Still looks pretty handy>C. You gonna try to work for any new forms, Nappa? 3 like my sis and dad and uncle Raditz, or maybe Primal like Vegeta? Or something else?>D. Something else?
