“We'll test the limits of your power later, to see where you stand.” you tell him, then turn to Caulifla. “Now, your turn kiddo. Show us what you've got.”
“Well, I haven't had a lot of time to train leveling up further.” she says sheepishly, clenching her fists and ascending in a burst of golden power. Sparks dance around her body as she takes on the Ascended Super Saiyan form, musculature becoming even more well-defined. She doesn't quite get to the Ultra form's level of being overly-bulky, but she's clearly not simply in the Ascended form either. Increasing her powerlevel by somewhere around two hundred times, by your estimate. “This is the best I've got.”
“Not bad, not bad. We'll get you to the next level in no time.” you tell her, reaching over and placing your hand on her shoulder. Which, if you hadn't taken on your Berserker form, would have been higher than your own. “Alright, now that you've all shown me your powers, your next step is ascending beyond this limit. About going even further beyond, to the next level in your unique paths.”
“The next level...” Chilli mutters, looking down at his hands. But you turn back to Caulifla, eyes meeting her own.
“This choice may not be permanent, but you will need to choose.” you tell her. “Which way you want to go.”
“Which way?” she asks, you nodding.
“You can either try for Super Saiyan 3 now, or to try and master the Golden Oozaru enough to unlock Primal. I won't lie, 3 seems like the easier, more efficient option. But if you want to try for the other path, you can. Or, I guess we can also hop back over to New Salda after today, and unlock the Super Saiyan God power for you with the ritual as well. It's your choice, kiddo. Take some time to think on it.”
“My choice...” she mutters, looking down at her left hand as you take several steps away, then call out to them.
“But, for now, all three of you! Come at me at once!” you order, blazing your aura up as you take your fighting stance. “Show me what you can do!”
But how do you start this off?
>Rush and attack, see how well they can all defend against your far more powerful attack>Defend, use your Energy Body for extra defense as they all try different ways to attack you>Rush in and use the Su Ma technique to weave between them, using your superior speed to keep them from landing solid hits>Keep your distance with energy attacks, see if they can close in to you through your energy or if they can retaliate at range without getting overwhelmed>Other(write in)
