With the majority of the Seventh Universe united under the banner of the PTO, Emperor Cooler at its head, the universe has known a time of unrivaled peace. But in the shadows threats have been growing, nursing grudges against the PTO and the Saiyan race in particular. And now those threats are rising, stepping out of the shadows to openly challenge the established order. Seeking nothing short of the destruction of New Salda and the extinction of the entire Saiyan race, can you prevent this outcome? Or will the Saiyan race be reduced to nothing more than memories, their heroes nothing more than ink in the pages of the history books?
You the players will (most often) control Karn; wielder of the mighty Berserker Soul and hope of the entire PTO, not only the Saiyan race. From his lowly beginnings as a Saiyan Brawler with a sub-3000 powerlevel in Age 733, only a few years into his time as a member of the PTO, he has grown in power and skill, overcoming the world-ending threats that have come for the Saiyans to become the strongest Saiyan of his time at AGE 758. From the massive Covenant empire to demonic incursions, mad cultists to vengeful gods, none have been strong or clever enough to put down Karn for good. But will one man's power be enough to protect everyone from the rising threats? Or will death come from those who you least expect it from? Your choices may mean the difference between survival and extinction, so choose carefully.

GrandDragonQM !!YgSxLM4WPvL ID:Vd2UNod7 Sat 31 Aug 2024 15:56:35 No. 6093535 Report >>6093528 Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:
Karn, upon learning what the Ctarl-Ctarl's intentions were on New Salda from King Vegeta, convinced him that if he couldn't make this decision himself, he should ask him people. To which the king agreed, several minutes later calling all of his people to speak to them. Explaining the situation, and offering every single Saiyan the chance to speak on this, his people responded to his call. Listening to everyone and taking their opinions down before passing out, Cenoria taking care of her king while Karn took the prince to train before eating. Only for Kars to appear at the end of the meal, warning Karn of the approaching threat of the Tuffle parasite. However, we aren't joining back in with Karn, instead we join Chaya, moments before departing Dreadzone.
“You sure about this? It smells like a trap.” Tanya says skeptically as you slip your armor on, attaching your saber in its hidden sheath in your right pauldron. “Raditz doesn't contact you for years, then out of the blue sends you a message? Saying he wants to meet? Really?”
“Of course. I checked the deep-space scouters as well as using the backtrace to find where the message was sent from.” you say, reaching out and using your telekinesis to pull your massive magical blade to your hand. “Arctus confirmed where that message originally came from for me, and in that area there was a flash of Super Saiyan power before that message came in. Either it was Raditz who sent it, or someone killed him. Either way, I'm going.”
“Then at least take backup!” Tanya begs, you seeing the genuine worry in her eyes. So you step forward, walking over and hugging the woman to you. “I- Ah-Wha-?!”
“I'll be fine. If anything happens, I'm coming right back.” you tell her, holding the smaller woman close for several seconds before letting her go. “Wish me luck.”
“Damn you. Don't you dare get yourself killed.” she replies angrily, a slight blush to the blond woman's cheeks. You smirk at this, raising your right to your forehead while resting your blade on your left pauldron. She goes over to the computer, sending the message agreeing to the meetup then moving to the deep-space scouter. Stating that all he has to do is power up, and that you'll teleport to him. But as the seconds drag on into minutes, you feeling yourself growing more nervous by the second. Then, after what feels like three years Tanya speaks up. “We got a hit.”
And, suddenly, it all becomes real. It's actually happening, you're going to see Raditz again.

It looks like he's gotten a LOT stronger.” Tanya says, sounding a bit surprised. “Despite hiding all this time, he's clearly been training. His Super Saiyan looks to be on par with your old man's.”
“Wait, WHAT?!” you cry out, your focus breaking as you turn to face her. “What do you mean?”
“Check towards the south quadrant, you should be able to sense this level of power even from here.” she replies, you closing your eyes and focusing. And, sure enough, you feel it. The power you haven't felt for years, and true to Tanya's word his power is insane. You wonder just what sort of training he's been using all this time, how he's managed to increase his strength to this degree? “Can you feel it?”
“Y-Yeah... It's him. It is really him.” you say, feeling a tear come to your eye. But you wipe it away, shaking your head and focusing. “Well, wish me luck.”
“Good luck, Chaya.” she says, you both sharing a nod before you close your eyes. Focusing your ki sense on that surging strength, locking on to his power. And in a blink you're gone, leaving Dreadzone behind to find yourself standing in a small village, Raditz back in his base form standing beside his girlfriend as they stand outside a small home in a small village. You feel a pang of jealousy seeing her holding onto him, his arm around her shoulder as they both look to you.
“Chaya. You actually came.” Raditz says, his voice a bit different than you remember, picking up an accent you don't recognize. “Come in, please.”
Well? How do you respond to this?

Redis, good to see you've recovered well.” you say to him, then turn to Redis and address the woman you'd nearly killed. Twice. Her eyes narrow at you, but she doesn't say anything, the woman who has seemingly been eating well turning and ducking under his arm to walk inside the house. As she turns, you notice a dull gleam, the light catching on a ring around her left hand's ring finger. You feel a stab of pain in your guts, one of jealousy and regret, but steel yourself against it. You made your choices, foolish as they were, and these are the consequences. “Haaaah.”
“Let's discuss things inside.” he says, you noticing several dozen people looking at you, hearing faint whispers you can't decipher from them. No doubt recognizing you, and decide to make this less awkward for Raditz in his little community here and go inside. You walk through the door, Raditz closing it behind you as you look at the simple, rustic home. The building is made of wood logs, decorated with simple wooden furniture and the floor covered in thick rugs cast about. You remember the times you'd talked, how he said he wanted a little home out of the way that he'd made himself, you recognizing several features he's told you he wanted in his home when you two were together. The small stove, fireplace in the living room with a well-built, comfortable-looking padded couch. Redis goes back to the stove with three pans cookin, returning to her cooking that smells surprisingly good. It isn't quite to the same level as Dreadzone's professionals, much less Silver's godly meals, but easily one of the best meals you've ever smelled.
“I'm surprised you invited me, after how things...Ended...” you say, turning to him. As you turn, for a split-second you see a hint of some sort of furious expression, but his face becomes a mask as you turn. For a moment you think it was a trick of the light, your mind playing tricks, but you know the truth. He's still furious, still clearly hasn't FORGIVEN you, but that just makes you wonder more: WHY has he invited you here. “So, how've you two been? Life out here treating you well?”
“We have been doing well. Please, take a seat.” Raditz says, going over to the table and pulling out a chair for you. As he does your instincts suddenly ping warily, your eyes shooting over to Redis. Whose hand has a death grip on her wooden spoon, the wood faintly groaning as she crushes it in her grip. She REALLY hates you, moreso than Raditz still does. You turn back to him and give him a small nod, sitting in the chair and pulling up to the well-crafted table, Raditz sitting across from you. Saying nothing, and looking at you. His face still an unreadable mask.

But he only nods, looking down at it and placing his left hand atop it, gently caressing the surface. Your mind flashes to the many nights together, Raditz caressing you with those hands. How he'd focus on making you feel good, and-
“I carved everything here myself, with my own hands.” he says, snapping you out of your memories. “Out here, I, we, made this little life for ourselves. But now we have a problem, something I can't take care of myself.”
“Of course, whatever you two need.” you reply reflexively, wanting to help them. To start to make up for all the wrongs you've done to Raditz and Redis.
“We're expecting.” he says suddenly, your heart stopping in your chest as his words punch you in the guts. You expand your ki sense, and sure enough feel three other ki in the room. You sense Raditz, Redis, and the third. A much smaller, but clearly there powerlevel radiating from Redis' belly as well. You'd thought she'd just been eating well, but no. She's been eating for two.
“I-Ah..Con.. Congratulations.” you manage to get out, choking back your tears to avoid crying before him. It hits you again, just how much of your life you missed out on with him. But you've got to be strong, this is your chance. To start making it up to the two of them. “Do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet, or-?”
“No. But, this world's medical technology is, well...” he starts, Redis interrupting with a grunt as she lifts two of the simmering pans, walking over to the table and setting them between you. Where two slabs of meat, each over two inches thick sizzle in each one of the pans. “Thank you hun.”
“Mmmmhmmm.” she replies, leaning in and kissing him passionately. As she does his eyes close, but she opens her left, glaring at you with hatred and venom. Reveling in her 'victory' over you, which you don't react to. The kiss ends after a few seconds, Redis smirking as she turns back to the cabinet, opening a drawer to withdraw more wooden utensils the knife blades made of some sort of black stone. She goes to her boy-husband, handing him a knife and fork before turning to you. And, with a snarl of rage throws both at your face! “BITCH!”
Reaching up you catch both utensils, stopping them well short of hitting you. Raditz doesn't react, blinking in surprise as the woman's face goes pale. Her entire demeanor changes, taking a step back in clear terror. While time obviously hasn't lessened her hate of you for everything you put her through, she's also still clearly terrified of your powers.

Not speaking, but waiting to see how he handles this. He looks at you a moment, a strange, almost disappointed look in his eyes before he stands up, going over to his wife and hugging her to him as he whispers something to her. You don't try and focus your hearing on their words, giving them what privacy you can by looking away and turning your focus. After a few seconds you hear footsteps, turning to see her going back into a room further inside the home, Raditz walking back to the table and sitting down.
“I'm... Sorry, about her outburst.” he says, his tone almost annoyed. “You've had quite the effect on her. It took over a year for her to sleep through the night, to stop waking up in the middle of the night screaming in terror. It's almost impressive how badly you scarred her.”
As he talks, you feel your guilt and shame mounting. Knowing you'd ruined this woman's life, crushed her so thoroughly that even after escaping your grasp she'd still been terrified of the thought of you weighs on your mind. But, in a small, darker corner you feel part of you is satisfied knowing that, that she deserved it for what she-
“But back to what's important. She's terrified about having our child so far out here, with a people so... Technologically challenged.” he continues, using the black stone edge of his knife to effortlessly cut through the meat. “That, without proper medical support, our child could be in danger. I've told her that the people here are far inferior to us and reproduce just fine, but she's still anxious.”
“So you're wanting what, getting a healing pod brought in? A medical bay module? How would you even power it?” you ask him, looking at the simple yet sturdy craftsmanship of the knife before taking it to your own food, marveling at how effortlessly it cuts. Gliding through the meat even without normal serrations. You'll have to ask him about these knives, they're insanely sharp!
“No, nothing quite like that.” he says, setting the fork down and looking up to you, his expression changing. Suddenly you don't recognize him, your instincts warning you that something's not right, something is <span class="mu-i">wrong</span> here. “What she needs, to have this baby carefully, is for you to do one thing for us.”

It feels absolutely charged, as if a fight could break out any minute. Your body starts screaming at you that you're in danger, that this is wrong, but before you can act on these feelings Raditz speaks.
“For you to DIE!” he snarls in a tone and voice you've never heard before as he tosses the stone blade right at your chest! His throw is far faster than Redis' own, but you're already moving before you've finished processing what's happening. Leaping to your left, you narrowly avoid the blade, it whistling through the air as you hit the ground in a roll. Springing back up to your feet, Raditz' power suddenly surges, you watching in horror as he changes. His hair turns white, red lines appearing on his face and lines like cross hairs in his eyes as his golden aura surges. His might surges to hundreds of times over his normal base, powering up to what feels like his Ascended Saiyan level. “I hope you're ready to die, monkey!”
“What the hell did you do to Raditz?!” you demand, reaching back and using your telekinesis to pull your sword from the doorway where you'd left it, the weapon's weight striking your hand as you whip the blade around and point it at this creature. “And why are you pretending to be him?”
“Pretending? Oh no no, you've got it backwards. THIS is the monkey Raditz' body I've... Comandeered, for my mission.” the creature says. “And my mission is revenge! All of you filthy Saiyans will pay for what you did to my people!”
“Your people? Look, you're going to have to be more specific. The Saiyans have taken down quite a few other-” you start, trying to dig for more information. Which this creature is all too willing to provide.
“You filthy apes destroyed my people, the Tuffles. I am the last of my kind, with the soul and memories of the last Tuffle King.” the being says confidently, pointing his right hand's thumb at his face. “And thanks to another wronged party, one who ALSO lost their race to you disgusting APES, my evolution was accelerated by decades. All to exterminate your filthy race.”
“Another?” you wonder to yourself, wondering who else was involved in creating this monster. But, aloud you instead say, “So, you're the last Tuffle, huh? Guess I will get to kill one of you.”
“Oh? You really think you can?” he asks, smirking devilishly. “But can you also kill Raditz?”
“What?” you say, confused. “What do you mean?”

Anything you do to him, he'll have to live with. Cut of my arm? That's Raditz' arm. Can you really kill your former lover, in cold blood?”
As he asks this his drawer opens itself, dozens of the super-sharp knives floating in the air over to him, their gleaming black stone blades all pointed at you as he crosses his arms with an evil smirk. Whatever this monster is, it's enjoying the dilemma it has put you in.

And as much as it pains you to run, you have no choice if you want to save him. So, you decide to leave, which means all you need is an opening.
“So, how long have you had Raditz' body for? And does his wife know?” you ask the being, who smirks. And almost as if on cue she walks back in, now wielding a Covenant weapon, one of those crystal launchers in either hand.
“The poor fool didn't know I had already entered her body first, when trying to flee this planet upon realizing who and what I was.” 'Raditz' says smugly. “Then when he let his guard down, I conquered him as well. He never stood a chance.”
“You filthy Saiyans are so predictable.” the 'wife' says, also speaking in his same sort of tone with even the same crooked expression on her face. Clearly somehow ALSO under this being's control. “Your minds are so feeble and unable to grasp just how ignorant you truly are!”
“And now you'll die stupid!” Raditz shouts, throwing his right hand forward and launching the obsidian blades at you. Forcing you to leap to your left to avoid them, only for Redis to unload her dual weapons. Pink crystals fly through the air towards you, you bringing your blade to bear as you swat the crystals aside. However, you don't stop them all, one crystal slashing across your right cheek and drawing blood, while a second sticks into your right thigh about halfway up your leg. But as the second one hits her weapons run empty, you immediately raising your right hand to your forehead.
“TANYA!” you shout into the void telepathically, hoping that she's not set her mental blocks back up.
“Raditz' powerlevel just spiked, what's going on?!” she [i:lit]thinks[/i:lit] back but you don't answer, instead focusing on her ki through the link. You need to get out of here, now!
“Oh no you don't!” Raditz shouts lunging towards you as you connect to her ki. But right as you're about to Instant Transmission away, for just a split-second, you see something expelling itself from Raditz. It looks almost like a Majin body like Captain Ginyu's except this substance is a metallic grey instead of pink exploding out towards you. But just as it is about to reach you, the world changes. Leaving the log cabin behind, reappearing back in Dreadzone next to Tanya as you collapse.
“Chaya? What are you-What happened?” she says, her voice genuinely worried. “What's going on?!”
“Raditz....” you mutter, laying on the ground and panting for a moment to recover from the momentary terror. At the last second, you thought you were going to be possessed by that monster, to have your free will stolen the same way Raditz' was. But you escaped, just in the nick of time!

“HEY!” Tanya shouts after smacking you, drawing you out of your thoughts and your attention back to her. “What happened? Tell me everything.”
And so you do, explaining everything from the little cabin to his wife being pregnant, to both being mind controlled by the last Tuffle. At the word Tuffle she stops you, to which you explain they were the other inhabitants of Planet Vegeta your people wiped out, before Freeza arrived. At this news her expression darkens, you explaining the monster's threats and what happened at the last moment.
“Hmmm. A body-controlling monster could be trouble. But how...?” she starts, then looks to your face as a look of terror overtakes her. “Chaya! We've got to get you down to medical, RIGHT NOW! If that thing got any of itself inside you, we have to kill it! NOW!”
"But it didn't touch me." you reply, a bit defensively. "I'm fine, I got away just in time."
"Are you SURE?!" Tanya replies, eyes wide with terror. "You didn't ingest anything while you were there, didn't touch anything, those spikes weren't COATED in anything? What if that spike in your leg has some of that monster on it, and it's now slithering through your blood!?"
Well?

“Alright, alright, I get it. Let's go double check, just to be sure and put your mind at ease.” you say to her, still trying to look as unbothered as you felt before she started talking. “Let's go.”
Reaching out with your ki sense, you find the contestant that was nearly killed yesterday's energy, focusing on them and raising your right hand to your forehead, dropping your sword and offering your left to Tanya. Who reluctantly takes it, the tinier woman hesitating for a couple seconds before taking your hand. Then with a thought you vanish, leaving Tanya's command room and returning to medical, standing over the bed of the nearly-dead competitor. Both his arms were amputated at the elbows, and his right leg severed above the knee. But his energy, while faint, has stabilized. And as you look over his body, the various tubes and beeping machines around him, he's going to live. Vox won't let such an interesting up-and-coming contestant die so easily, after all.
“T-T-T-Tanya? Chaya? Wh-Wh-Wh-What are you two d-doing down h-h-here?” comes a small voice from behind, you both turning to see one of the medical staff. Called 'Scratch' by the others for his vocal tick, causing him to repeat like a damaged holotape, he seems about ready to faint at the sight of you both. But you're glad to see him, as you know he's one of the highest-qualified medical staff at Dreadzone.
“Heya Scratch, just who I was looking for.” you tell him, pointing down at the crystal still in your leg. “Need you to check me for any foreign bodies in my body, probably metal.”
“M-M-Metal? But the Kemuksuru, or the 'Blamite Crystals' aren't metallic. Wh-Wh-Wh-Why would there be any metal contamination?” he asks, flicking one lens down after another as he looks at your injury. Which is about chest height on the tiny doctor. “Yes, that's Kemuksuru alright. And fortunately it doesn't seem to have pierced either the Superficial femoral or Profunda femoris, from how little blood there is. But we should scan the area, just to be-”
“Scratch, listen to me VERY CAREFULLY.” you say, dropping down to a knee so your face is much closer to level with his own as you stare into his glasses-enlarged eyes. “I just fought a monster that goes inside people, puppeteering them around against their will. I need you to full body scan me, check every frequency, every test you can run to make sure that... THING, isn't inside me right now. Do you understand?”

We're wasting time, hurry, hurry!” the little man says, his entire demeanor changing as he turns, going as fast as he can towards a nearby cluster of machines. “You said it looked metallic, yet? Let's run an MRI first, try and draw it up and out of you forcefully. If it's in there and moves, we'll see it. Then we can move on to the...”
And as the diminutive doctor rambles, firing up machines with practiced efficiency, your mind turns back to Raditz. And in that one instant, just as you'd disappeared and that <span class="mu-i">creature</span> tried to get you, you think you saw recognition in his eyes. That the man you knew is still in there. Somewhere. And as you lay on the machine bed, it retracting inside the cyllindrical tube to begin the imaging test, you can't shake the guilt as it begins eating you up. It's your fault he was all alone out there, so far from you all to get ambushed by that monster. Because of YOUR actions, driving Raditz and Redis from New Salda and causing them to go into exile to avoid you, they were easy prey for that monster. And as the machine hums to live, you swear that you'll do whatever it takes to save him. No matter the cost, you WILL free him of that monster!
-Meanwhile, back on New Salda-
“Oh no. CHAYA!” you shout, immediately worried for your daughter's safety. But as soon as you do Kars, the Supreme Kai-in-training who is currently holding time stopped holds out a hand, trying to get you to calm down and listen to him.
“She's fine, she just escaped before I came down here to warn you.” Kars says, conjuring a scrying orb in his hands. “See, take a look for yourself. These are the events that played out just before I arrived.”
You watch silently as Chaya suddenly appears outside a wooden cabin, Raditz and his woman Redis both looking at her. You watch as she enters their home, the woman attacks her, then with horror watch as Raditz transforms, claiming to be the Tuffle King reborn. Then your daughter doesn't try and fight, realizing that beating that monster means killing Raditz, opting to flee instead. But just as she vanishes, you see a Majin-like mass of metallic grey shoot out of Raditz' eyes, nose and mouth, it shaping itself into a weird face as it goes to grab her. But then she's gone, teleporting away with Instant Transmission as the slime-like being passes harmlessly through the air.
“Tch. Slippery little monkey.” the creature snarls in annoyance, shooting itself back inside Raditz. Kars ends the projection, the orb vanishing as if it never were as he looks back to you.
“That monster MUST be destroyed.” Kars tells you seriously. “This threat must not be allowed to spread. No matter the cost.”

A monster that grows by making more victims, the longer it roams free the more dangerous it is.” you say, cracking your knuckles. “We need to stop this thing, now.”
“Agreed. Although, you're slightly wrong in what it can do. The monster itself doesn't multiply itself, it has a central controlling intelligence. The grey goo you saw there.” he says, you raising a brow in surprise. “However, it can still exert control over those it has once inhabited, quickly amassing an army. Somehow, the bodies of those it has conquered also spread the 'infection', meaning that until and unless the monster itself is destroyed, that parasite will continue to spread. As for the creature itself, its goals are twofold. One, it seeks to acquire the strongest body it can, so it can be the strongest being in the universe. And two, the eradication of your entire race. Destroying your people for what you all did to the Tuffles.”
“But if it's only a single being controlling it all, then-?” you start Kars nodding as well.
“Indeed. Killing the host parasite will free the others, although it won't remove whatever mass-control method it used to enslave the others.” Kars tells you. “But once the monster itself is removed, finding a way to remove what's left of that mind-control mechanism will be far simpler.”
“Alright, but how do we kill it?” you ask him, meeting the Kai-in-training's eyes. “What do we have to do?”
“Simple: obliterate the host entirely.” he says, no hint of mercy in his eyes. Disintegrate it down to the atomic level, leave no hint of this monster behind.” he tells you without hesitation. “Your daughter no doubt realized this, but was unable to take the actions needed to put that monster down. Unable to kill her former lover, she chose to flee instead.”
“You're telling me that we have to kill Raditz?” you ask, your tone barely hinting a question and making it more of an accusation. “One of my own people.”
“Yes. If that creature refuses to evacuate that body, it must be destroyed as well.” he tells you, eyes lacking any hint of compassion or mercy. “If that monster is allowed to escape, then it's reign of terror will continue. Spreading its influence across the universe until all submit to him, even the divine realm itself will be at risk.”
“So, THAT'S his real motivation.” you think to yourself, now understanding his motivations. You were wondering what his angle was, he's not one to go out of his way to interfere in situations until and unless it directly benefits him. So, upon seeing that he's here for his own survival, it simultaneously relieves and worries you. If killing it were so simple, why is Kars here talking to you? Why hasn't he gone and destroyed this monster himself? Unless...

“Well, there's three reasons for that.” he tells you, raising a finger on his right hand with each point. “One, the weakest reason: I've been forbidden to directly interfere in the goings on in the mortal realm by the Elder Kai. He says that you lot are 'an ungrateful lot of savages who'll get what's coming to you'. Two, although that monster is inside him, Raditz is still a Saiyan. I'm not going to take blatant action against your people, even with your blessing. A hundred, two, maybe even five hundred years down the line someone will take offense to what I did and seek revenge, if not done so immediately. Your daughter's powers could prove a threat, and I have no desire to truly test her in a battle to the death.”
Which are all valid points, but as he raises his third finger, you see something in his eyes you weren't expecting: fear.
“Third. That monster could, theoretically, take over MY body. Were such a being to take over my form, gaining access to all my powers and abilities, it would be damn near impossible to stop. You have no idea the things I am capable of, but with that genocidal monster at the helm? Lord Beerus himself would be forced to intervene. And the last time a universe-threatening threat appeared, fourteen solar systems were wiped out in a single day. And I'd rather live to see old age, than be reduced to less than nothing by the Destroyer.”
“I see.” you answer, one last question on the tip of your tongue. “But why? Why tell me all this?”
“Because if there is any single mortal capable of dealing with that monster, it would be you.” Kars says with a slight grin, then suddenly he's just... Gone. Everything returns to how it was. Leaving you back in the mess hall, everyone turning towards you in confusion. As to them, you would have suddenly sprung upright and moved faster than any of them could perceive.
“Karn? Hun, what's wrong?” Meloka asks you, worry in her tone. “What is it?”

Meloka's eyes narrow a bit, but after a second relents with a sigh. Grumbling about time manipulation being a bullshit power. Towa seems even more suspicious, surprisingly, but after another moment or two also visibly relaxes. As you sit back down, everyone else finishing their meals you reach out telepathically to your eldest daughter.
“Chaya? Is everything okay?” you <span class="mu-i">think</span> to her, reaching out mentally to her. “I saw everything, are you alright?”
“Daddy? You know?” she asks, you feeling her emotions welling up within her. Furious rage, sinking despair, a rising sense of obligation and responsibility, and a deep, deep-running sadness. “You saw?”
“Yeah, Kars showed up just after you left Raditz behind. Well done dodging that monster, if it would have gotten you...” you reply, unable to formulate a reply for such a terrifying possibility. Silence hangs between you both for several seconds, until she reaches out again. “I've in the lab now, they're scanning me for everything to make sure I didn't accidentally eat whatever that monster uses to spread. But just in case, I'm going to be staying here at Dreadzone for awhile. I'm not coming home until I save him.”
“I don't know if we can save him.” you tell her honestly. “From what Kars told me, the only way to make sure that monster is completely destroyed is to obliterate whoever it is hiding in. That even he doesn't know how to get rid of such a monster otherwise. Kiddo, I know you and Raditz have a past, but I need you to understand the severity of this monster. Kars, fucking KARS was terrified of this new Tuffle King. I could see the fear in his eyes. We may not have another choice.”
“I'm not going to let my failure be the reason he dies.” your daughter replies, you feeling her determination swelling from within her. “It was MY fault he was out there in the first place, MY fault he and his wife were captured, and MY fault their child is held captive by a monster that wants to exterminate our race. I will save them, no matter what it costs.”
Silence again hangs between you once more, you feeling your daughter's maelstrom of emotions raging within her. You can feel her guilt, it eating her alive from the inside. And you get it, after everything that happened between them, she is directly responsible for Raditz and Redis leaving New Salda be-Wait, she's pregnant?

No. You can't even finish the thought yourself as you feel the same terror rising within Chaya. You both reach the same conclusion, a new worry rising in your hearts. What if that monster is creating a new body just for it?
“I... I don't know what to do Daddy.” she replies after a moment. I-I'm scared. What do we do?”
“I'm not sure. But this monster will NOT get away with this.” you reply, your own resolve hardening into iron determination. “We will make sure this last Tuffle goes extinct, along with the rest of its race.”
“Yeah. We need to stop it. Maybe... Maybe Towa will know what to do?” your daughter offers. “Maybe this thing isn't unique to our timeline?”
“I'll double check with her, for now take care of yourself.” you tell her. “If anything happens, if you find anything out on your end let me know. I'll do the same from my end. We're going to save them, kiddo. We won't let that monster control them forever.”
“Okay. Once the scans are done, I'll tell you if they find anything.” your daughter replies. “And if Towa knows what to look for, the Dreadzone med boys could use someone of her expertise.”
“I'll ask her. Just, do me one favor, okay? Don't go after that monster again on your own. When we have a plan, we'll take it down.”
“I understand. Of course. Hey, Scratch said he found something, I'll call you back.” she replies, ending the mental link. Which is worrying, but as you return your attention to the present see Okira pulling the young prince out of his seat.
“Come on, it's almost time to start training!” she says eagerly. “Come on, let's go.”
“Alright, alright. I'm coming.” he replies, getting his feet under him and matching her pace. The two leading the way outside, the rest of your kids also starting to go as well. You're one of the last ones to rise, your daughter and Kars's words echoing in your mind. As you and your family head out, going towards the exit Towa turns to go to her lab. So you stop walking, reaching out to her telepathically.
“Hey. We need to talk.” you <span class="mu-i">think</span> to her, Towa stopping immediately. She turns, a concerned expression on her face as she looks quizzically towards you. “What do you know about the Tuffles?”
And as realization dawns in her eyes, a look of apprehension and worry coming to her face, you realize that this threat could be even worse than you feared.

Ready to see how things play out, what information Towa has and how right(or wrong) it may be concerning your timeline's possibly unique abomination? Ready to learn the name of your foe, and to perhaps face this challenge head-on? Do you think you have what it takes to stop him, or will a power even greater than your own be needed to stop the Tuffle menace? Some of this and perhaps more when Saiyan Conqueror Quest continues in around 12 hours from now at noon EST!

We need to form up a barrier around Baby - a nice round ball - and then form a pushing circle around him. Karn, Meloka, Freeza, Broly, etc., all standing around ping-ponging bubble-Baby between them, calling him a nerd. Bring back PTSD memories of Tuffle high school, when he got bullied by those mean Saiyan bullies. Pick on him and call him a dweeb. Telekinetic 'stop hitting yourself's, telekinetic wedgies. Swirlies.

It's far too soon.” Towa mutters, her tone stopping Meloka in her tracks. Your wife immediately turns, coming back up the ramp and stopping between you both. “He shouldn't be active for another thirty, thirty one years. Something has happened to accelerate his growth.”
“What are you talking about?” Meloka asks, Towa looking to her then to you with an unsure expression. So you turn to Meloka, reaching out to her and Towa telepathically.
“There's a Tuffle survivor on the loose. Some sort of body snatcher, and it has Raditz. As well as his wife, and their unborn child.” you tell them, both mothers' faces twisting in shock and horror. As mothers themselves they know just how horrifying this situation is, quickly followed by rising anger. You quickly explain everything Kars showed you to them, then your conversation with Chaya and how she's getting scanned to make sure no sort of mind control device was implanted in the food she ate or on the crystals she was shot with.
“No, it wouldn't be transferred that way.” Towa speaks up, projecting her thoughts explaining how, in most timelines the Reborn Tuffle King, King Kudamo, most often referred to by the title Dr. Myuu of the Machine Mutants dubbed him, Baby, leaves his 'eggs' behind in someone's brain, which allow him to remotely subjugate one whose body he's conquered. “Even your king Vegeta, in most timelines where he lives to AGE 789 and has broken free of even Babidi's mind control before is unable to resist that being's total and complete control over his body.”
“It's that powerful? Then how do we save Raditz? And stop this monster from spreading?” you ask her, this time aloud. “Kars told me that it spreads like an 'infection' from those who're already under the monster's control, that it doesn't have to go from host to host personally.”
“Yes, it did something before as well. However, such a takeover usually relies on a planet's Guardian to have been conquered.” Towa tells you, raising a finger seriously. “And then from there, it usually requires special, additional steps. Or either technological or magical devices to allow for mass distribution on a planetary scale. Such as infusing a magical substance like the Black Water Mist with his eggs, or perhaps even something more conniving like the Tuffles' unique concoction, the Destron Gas itself. Which I'm sure you remember from when you fought Hatchiyack and the living grudges that were the Ghost Warriors.”
“Damned Tuffles should have just stayed dead.” your wife mutters darkly. “Don't know when to give up.”

“Well, there is one more way. The same way he is defeated in most timelines.” she says, brow furrowed. “However, it does require a bit of setup.”
“How?” you ask her. “If we can save Raditz, we should at least try.”
“It requires allowing him to become stronger, via access to the Golden Oozaru form. Allowing him to grow larger inside Raditz' expanded body. Then sever his tail.” she says seriously. “As his body reverts back to his base form, if you let him stay Golden Oozaru long enough, the creature may no longer fit inside his frame and be forced to flee. But that is still risky, as it will try to inhabit the nearest body it can. The safest means is still to obliterate the host entirely, as it ensures the monster is dead.”
“I see.” you reply, taking in all this new information. As much as you want to save Raditz, you might have to settle for bringing him back to life. Looking down at your right arm, your Stand still being down from encountering the divine dragon of the Super Dragon Balls, you won't be able to wish him back yourself. Perhaps Namek's Dragon Balls are ready, and you can revive him that way?
But what do you do?

After we're back from training, both the students and young Vegeta with the kids I want to study this monster and what it can do.”
“That shouldn't be a problem. I'll have everything ready before time for the next meal.” she says, turning and sauntering off. Adding a little extra sway into her hips, trying to draw your eyes. Which works for a moment, you then shaking your head and turning to walk down the ramp. You and Meloka head down, your kids having already taken off then fly off as well. You fly in silence, both of you not talking about the monster hanging over your heads. The two of you then land, taking up your usual spot to address your students.
“Alright, no fancy speeches today. Let's get to work.” you tell them simply, then turn to Goar. “Goar, you get a special guest today. Prince Vegeta, you're in his group.”
“Yes sir.” the young prince says, leaping down from your group to a few surprised murmurs. But most of your longer-term students aren't surprised by his appearance, after all most remember training here with Cenoria before she was queen. You lead the group on their workouts, keeping an extra eye on the young prince. But Goar, despite what a massive monster he looks, you've learned is rather good with the younger ones. He's gentle but firm with Prince Vegeta, forcing him to push himself without breaking the young man.
Other than the inclusion of the young prince, the day progresses like any other. You train your students, pushing them a bit more than usual since the prince is here. He's left ragged by the end, collapsing at the final call and simply catching his breath.
“Well done today everyone. Eat and rest well, as tomorrow we'll be going even harder.” you say, getting a near-simultaneous salute from your people. You salute back, the group beginning to disperse. You take note of those who check on the young prince before leaving as he lays flat on his back recovering. The dozens of your original students all check on him, as well as Goar and several others. He finally recovers, sitting then finally standing, shaking hands with a few who congratulate him on making it through his 'first day of real training'. To which Okira laughs, a mischievous gleam in her eye you can see from all the way atop the gravity chamber.

“Yeah, I asked for this.” he says with a nervous laugh, Goar patting him on the shoulders and head simultaneously. “But I'm not going to quit.”
“That's the right attitude.” you say, dropping down and landing by him. “Alright, let's get moving.”
“RIGHT!” your kids and the prince respond, you taking to the sky once more. They follow you, you flying back home and heading to the gravity chamber. Your younger children go in as well, Tatsu and Tomi going off to continue their own private training. You take the younger children plus Caulifla and Prince Vegeta into the chamber, staring at the display and trying to decide what level to put it to.

Your children all are ready for it, the young prince struggling a few moments. But he then gets his balance in the intense gravity, rising back up to his full height.
“This isn't seven, no. Times ten?” he asks, you nodding back to him. “Times ten...”
“Alright, let's get back into it.” you tell them, your youngest rolling his shoulders in anticipation as Maz bounces on his toes. They're far more used to this level than the prince, perhaps this will be good motivation for him. Seeing kids around his own age progressing further than himself will make him want to push his limits. “Kayle, you're with Junior. Prince, with Okira. And Maz with me, let's get started.”
“Hold on, just a moment please. Why are we splitting into twos?” the prince asks, you giving him a grin. “Because it's sparring time.” you tell him. “No energy attacks, no flight, and no limb breaking. First five minute round starts... Now.”
“HIYAAAH!” Okira shouts, immediately leaping forward and socking him with a right to his jaw, staggering him back a couple steps. But he plants his feet and launches back at your daughter, who grins a toothy grin as the two trade blows. Karn Jr immediately goes on the attack as well, pushing Kayle back. But Maz doesn't immediately attack you, taking his fighting stance. But after a moment he leaps towards you with a right, you blocking it with your left forearm. However his fist then 'slips' past your arm on the inside, spinning into a back left roundhouse at your head. Which you also block, only for Maz to fire back a lightning-quick right back kick at your face. Forcing you to raise your right hand, palm stopping his heel. You then shove him back, your son flipping backwards in the air while reorienting back on you. He goes back on the offensive immediately, your son swinging with all he's got.
As you spar your second youngest son, you also take note of the prince's prowess as well. He's a very clever fighter, using his feints and afterimages on Okira to dodge her more 'direct' approach. While she's harder to hit with her Su Ma outright, keeping up the pressure on him, his different style of fighting than what she's used too keeps her from effectively putting too much pressure on him. Making it clear that, without a doubt, in normal gravity your daughter wouldn't stand a chance. However, with the gravity slowing him down and burning through his stamina, she isn't completely outclassed.

The young prince immediately collapses, flopping onto his back and gasping heavily..
“Hey, you okay? I didn't hit you that hard.” Okira says, squatting down beside him and looking worriedly to him. “You gonna make it?”
“I'll... Be fine... Just... Exhausted.” he manages to get out, Okira laying down beside him. Kayle goes over to Maz as you stretch out, getting ready for the next round. Then once the minute rest is over, you changing who is sparring who. This time you put the prince up against your youngest, Karn Jr eager to show what he's got. Prince Vegeta rises wearily, but then you feel his strength surge. Drawing upon what he's got left to rise to the challenge. Meanwhile you take the other three on yourself, calling for another five minutes. The twins rush aggressively, you blocking their opening punches with your forearms as Okira then flies low under them, aiming a double flying kick at your chest. Which you block by raising a leg, catching both her feet on your knee.
“Nice try, but you'll have to do more than that!” you call to the trio, shoving all three back. Again you get into the spar, you focusing more on the prince's efforts than on your own defense. Which does allow more than a dozen heavy blows to land, you barely feeling them due to the difference in power. But you make sure to encourage your children each time, as they're still working hard and earning those hits. Prince Vegeta, meanwhile, is clearly struggling, your youngest far stronger than Okira thanks to being born a Super Saiyan. Which is something Prince Vegeta struggles against, until after taking a four-hit combination sending him flying back, he roars and transforms.
“HRRRAAAAAA!!” Vegeta bellows, ascending to a Super Saiyan as well. Karn Jr doesn't slow down, still charging at him and swinging a right into the prince's jaw. This time only staggering him back a step, the prince holding steady before leaning back forward. Grinning at your son, then swinging his forehead into Jr's. “My turn.”
The two continue to spar, now on much more even terms until you call time. Where Vegeta, now thoroughly exhausted, reverts back to his base form, collapsing once more down to all fours and panting in exhaustion, eyes screwed shut.
“Well done everyone, nice warm up.” you say, watching as the young prince's eyes snap back open, looking up to you in shock. “One minute break, then we're really getting into it.”

He reminds you of his father, stubborn to a fault and refusing to quit no matter what. Once you finally call an end to the workout, shutting down the machine he collapses. Completely spent, gasping for air and covered in sweat.
“You did great, for a first-timer.” Okira tells him happily as he struggles to just breathe, unable to do anything else. “C'mon, let's go wash off, and it'll be time to eat! Silver's gonna have something wonderful fixed again.”
But when even the promise of food doesn't get him moving, she then simply reaches down, grabbing him by his armor and lifts him, carrying him in her arms. You hear him weakly thank your daughter, whose tail flicks happily at his thanks as she carries him out. You all go shower off, freshening up before supper. Once there he stands on his own, but Okira fusses over him like a mother, cleaning the young prince herself. Which he seems a little embarrassed of, but doesn't resist. Not that he'd have the strength to do so anyways. And once you all are cleaned off and in simple training suits, you having a few his size as the cleaning machine handles the uniforms, you all head to the mess hall.

"Maz, Kayle, make sure you five stick together, and go right to the mess hall." you tell them, turning the opposite way and heading towards the entrance ramp. "Go."
"Right!" they shout, not arguing with your serious tone and immediately guiding their younger siblings and the prince away. You take off at a run, flying down the hall and arriving at the ramp before the unfamiliar powers have a chance to move more than a yard or two from where they appeared. You slow to a walk, cautiously stepping down the ramp and into the waning daylight. Only to see several figures clad in blood-red energy looking around.
"So, who the hell are you?" you ask, all the figures immediately whirling to face you. Through the energy shielding them, they seem to be wearing either antique armor or flowing robes, each either drawing from thin air massive weapons they shouldn't have been able to conceal, or what are clearly magical staves and implements. The closest to you, carring a staff with dozens of crystals like your son's own and a headpiece with either feathers or wings on it raises his staff, Abyssal Dark gathering at the end of it. Recognizing what's about to happen, you make the only logical choice: attack. "HRRAAAAA!"
Your emerald aura blazes as you ascend directly into your Berserker God form, blasting the almost dozen dark magic-shrouded beings back. Knocking the one who tried to use Abyssal magic flat on his back, you leaping off the ramp and stomping down with both heels. One smashing in his face, splattering phantom blood and brain matter while the second crushing his ribcage, you feeling bones shatter under the force of your attack.
"SHIT!" one warrior shouts, flipping over his two-handed blade and swinging it down at you. His sword resembles your own, albeit in far worse repair. But the being is too slow, you stepping back with your right and twisting clockwise. Watching his blade pass you harmlessy, bisecting the dissolving corpse of the first one. Before you can finish him off, however, another's recovered, firing a flurry of crossbow bolts your way. Kicking off with your right foot you leap back, dodging nearly a dozen projectiles as then another wizard levels their staff, firing a powerful beam of energy.
Having lept aside far enough, your home no longer being in the line of fire, you also dodge the beam, continuing to circle the group clockwise. Only for a nearly-naked man with ephemeral wings to leap from the group, twin lances drawn back as he then lunges at you. Accelerating through the air, as if the wings make him fly faster while stabbing his weapons at you.

Leaving the warrior suspended on the other ends of his weapons, not willing to release them. Which is fine by you, as you raise both arms straight up, lifting the warrior high then taking a short hop forward, towards the warrior in heavy armor with a thick-seeming shield and swinging. Your improvised attacker-club swings down, the armored warrior raising his shield to protect himself. Splattering the unarmored man against the metal, as a cloud of green mist explodes from him. Your instincts warn you to get clear, you leaping back near the shoreline as the others all move to get clear of the cloud. One of the fighters, wielding a sickle glowing with faint azure magical power, swings the blade. Firing a slashing blade of magical energy from it directly at you.
However, instead of taking the attack you simply leap over it towards him, dodging the narrow blade of magical energy. Once airborne, however, the one wearing the rather large, misshapen hat raises a pick towards you, firing a spray of azure magical darts in the area you're in. Forcing you to dash aside, dodging them instead of continuing your attack towards the sickle wielder. Only for yet another warrior, this one wielding a bow taller than themselves draws the massive bow back, firing a spear as long as you are tall at you. This is the fastest attack yet, the shooter's aim true as the massive spike nearly turns your head inside out. But at the last second you lean your head to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack. You feel a sting as the edge of the arrowhead slices open your cheek and your right ear, drawing a faint spray of blood.
“Tch!” you exhale through gritted teeth, dropping back down to the ground as the one mage fires another beam of azure energy up at you. But that attack travels too slow, you easily able to drop down under it long before the beam would have reached you. “Who the hell are you bastards? And why are you here?”
“They're here for me, Dad.” Caulifla says, you looking up into the sky towards the mainland. And there, above you all is your daughter, in her base form. “I'll take care of the rest, you can go back inside.”
But what do you do?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjZb8Y1QvpE You watch as her hair turns white, the helmet of the Darkmoon God appearing around her head as her armor vanishes. Leaving her wearing nothing more than Darkmoon energy as it begins to shape and form into the fine clothes of white and gold. First is her boots and gloves, then the skirt, then the white top ending with the mantle finally appearing around her shoulders last, Caulifla raising her right hand and summoning a magical golden scepter to her hand. And as the near-blinding azure light begins to fade, the rest of the would-be assassins all taking a step back from her in shock.
“You dare come to MY home, filthy Darkwraiths? Prepare to meet your end, and face divine retribution!” Caulifla says, smirking down at them all as she raises her staff. Waving it back and forth, dozens of orbs of her Darkmoon power burst forth, swarming around her like your mother's Warding Eyes. As she holds their attention you decide to help, dashing forward while they're distracted and firing a right handed chop at one's neck, decapitating distracted warrior. Their body drops immediately, dissolving into motes of red light as the others turn towards you. Only for Caulifla to launch her attacks, sending most of her orbs crashing down amongst them. Each ball explodes in an azure explosion, sending their bodies flying, ragdolling through the air.
“Let's finish these guys off quick, I'm hungry.” you call to your daughter, weaving past a two-handed overhand swing of a sword at long as you are tall, the massive weapon slamming into the ground where you'd been standing. Closing in you drive your right fist straight through his armored chest and spine, fist exploding out the back of his armor. Causing a spray of dark red motes of light to shoot out behind him.
Withdrawing your fist, his body collapses, dropping to the ground, only for your instincts to scream in warning. Without looking back you instead activate your Energy Body, feeling something heavy slam into your back a second later. Looking over your shoulder, you see the same swordsman from before, having tried that same front flip trick again. You smirk, grabbing the sword from over your shoulder and swinging the fighter up and over your head. Smashing him down on the ground atop another wizard type, combining both into a mess of rapidly-fading red energy. Only for your instincts to scream at you once more, warning you of real danger. DIVINE danger. You whip your head around, only to see your daughter, divine power blazing.

Around the chime in her left hand she's conjured a blade of Darkmoon magical power, swinging it through armored bodies, passing effortlessly through armor and shields alike. But that's not her only attacks, using her staff to send lances of magical energy through others who try casting on her outside of her sword's range. Looks like she's not holding back one bit, over half of the summoned fighters have already fallen. But one in bone armor, with a hood of darkness over its head rushes you, leaping into the air and swinging the broad, thick, two-handed it wields at your neck. But as it swings, the blade suddenly ignites, your instincts warning you to get clear. So, instead of catching the blade you leap back, narrowly avoiding the blazing weapon. The fighter lands in a roll, coming back up to their feet and thrusting the blade at your face. Raising your right arm you deflect the strike, knocking the blade aside. “Tch!”
As you swat the blade aside, however, the fires continue burning on your Energy Body. Immediately you end your technique, the flames burning in the air a moment before disappearing. The warrior then takes a low stance, blade held vertically as he readies another swing. But you don't give him that chance, dashing in and grabbing his hands on the sword. Using your vastly, VASTLY superior strength you begin forcing the double-edged blade back towards the wielder, driving it into their neck. Then with a violent jerk rip the weapon, as well as the user's hands free of their body, bisecting them from left shoulder to right hip. Causing their body to collapse in a pile of rapidly-fading red motes of energy, that glow quickly fading around the weapon along with its flames. The weapon, now 'recognizing' you as its new master, expands, growing to even greater lengths than your Wolf Knight Sword is when you're in this form. Seems you've found a powerful new weapon, now time to test it out.
However, as you look up, your daughter is cutting down the last quartet of fighters. With her magical blade in left, she decapitates one with a backhand, countering a lance of crystal magical energy with a lance of her own magic from her staff in her right then dashing in driving her knee up into the armored helm of a third. Sending that armored knight flying, raising her staff and firing a beam of magical energy that completely disintegrates that fighter. And ends her combination by spinning counterclockwise, backhanding the last with her blade and bisecting them at the waist. Taking down all four in less than two seconds, your daughter deactivating her blade, turning her focus to you.
“Well, that was annoying.” she says, powering back down with a sigh. “So, you ready to go eat?”

Sorry if you already talked about this and this was already answered. I'm still reading the earlier episodes from the archive to know all of the story that has led to this point.
>>6094000 >Third. That monster could, theoretically, take over MY body. Kars is worried but I was thinking about other side of this situation.
Taking over bodies of Stand Users. What if Baby takes over King Cold? I think 「Under Pressure」 would not accept Baby as its master and obey him. Baby would be a parasite controlling Cold's body but he is not Cold himself. I think 「Under Pressure」 would not be listening to Baby's will.
Some stands have very developed consciousness like 「Divine Dragon Force」. I can't imagine Dragon Force being fine with Baby piloting Karn's body.
Perhaps 「Divine Dragon Force」 would try to fight against Baby's control? Maybe try to wake up Karn?
Perhaps taking over a body of a Stand User could provide some unexpected problems for Baby. What do you think about this?

>>6096387 It's fantastic.
Depends on the Stand and the wielder. In MOST cases, the Stand is simply an extension of the user's will with no thought. Others though are independent beings, like Cheap Trick, Divine Dragon Force, GER/LER/CFR (mostly requiem Stands, looking at the list). And since they operate outside the user's will, would continue to do so. -HOWEVER-, should he conquer a Stand user and become acquainted with their powers, he could theoretically be able to conquer Stands themselves as well.

>>6096400 I think because the berserker soul specifically is a distinct entity despite being all Karn at this point Baby couldn't really do anything to it. It's as much apart of Karn (and others) as it is a part of Karn. If that makes sense. Unless this Baby has bits of Hatchiyak tech built into him. But that would be stupid and unfair. Pick a lane, Baby.

Trying to quieten down your child's screams as they echo over the blackened, burned. “Shhhh, shhh, momma's here. I've got you.” But no matter what you do, the screaming doesn't stop. It never stops. No matter what you do, the child continues to scream and scream. No matter what you do to try and comfort your baby, her screaming only gets worse. Until you can't take it any more, throwing the blanket-wrapped bundle at a nearby boulder with a primal scream of rage. The weathered, stained and fraying blanket opens, the rocks that were bundled into the shape of your daughter, you blinking in confusion. And, suddenly, it all comes back. The memories you've fought to repress come surging back into your mind, as fresh as the day it happened. You are Meloka. Wife to Karn and mother to his children, except now they're all gone. Dead and buried, killed by the Covenant bastards who'd killed your family and destroyed your world. The once-vibrant world of oceans and forests is now a burned, reduced to a charred hellscape of fire and craters thanks to the Covenant warships' glassing cannons. Almost all life was extinguished, everyone dead but you. Leaving you to a life of sustenance by devouring the assassins and Covenant warriors who all come to try their luck. Those foolish enough to try and claim you, the last living Saiyan in this time as a trophy. But all of these thoughts are washed away as you hear your son's crying, your focus and attention immediately snapping towards the sound to try and find him. But after a second of listening to it, you realizing you'd taken off at a sprint towards it, realize that the sound isn't one of your children's cries. But an unfamiliar child's call, one you've never heard before. That's another child, there's another living child here! And they need your help! But just as you're about to resume your sprint, a voice from your memories speaks into your mind. “Be careful. You saw three ships landing yesterday, you know there are threats here looking for you.” your husband's voice, strong and unbreakable as ever rings from your mind and soul. And as if to emphasize this, the small bit of him you still have, the energy he gave to you in what still feels like a dream burns in your chest. “Karn...” you mutter, placing a hand to your chest, feeling that fire burning within. You wish you could hold him one last time, to have him tell you he loves you and make all your problems go away.

You're going to save this child from these invaders, and make him proud. Climbing down off the clip you slip into the shadows, stalking your way towards the sounds of crying. Despite how much you want to rush directly towards the sound, you can feel that little bit of your husband you have left warning, cautioning you that something about this situation isn't right. You don't know what, but something about all of this is most definitely <span class="mu-i">wrong</span>. So, as you get closer and closer to the sound of crying, you begin picking up several ki signatures. Dozens upon dozens of ki all radiate from the area the crying is coming from, yet the baby continues crying. Are these pieces of shit not taking care of their baby?!
“Bastards!” you snarl through clenched teeth, your fury and outrage nearly causing you to abandon the subtle approach and fly full speed towards them. But right as you're about to rise up, taking in a deep breath, you freeze. Smelling something in the air that stops you right in your tracks. “No way.”
You get just a taste in the air of a familiar, vile chemical weapon the Covenant tried before and nearly killed you. It left you sick and weak, dying for days on end in agonizing pain. It would have spelled your doom, were it not for the Towa who showed up, giving you a shot of some medical concoction she'd cooked up that chemical would have taken you out. Tasting it again, you're not eager to repeat that experience, so instead of charging headfirst into the wind, start circling around instead. Slowing your advance, getting closer and closer to the crying baby's calls for help. You're not going to let this chemical weapon stop you from finding and saving that baby!
Slowly, carefully circling to avoid being seen, you slip almost all the way around the area you sense the other beings in, not going fully so your scent isn't carried their way by the wind as you sneak up the back side of a massive crater to peek over the lip. And there, down in another partial crater are three Covenant warships parked in a U formation, while the little slave alien creatures unload barrels and barrels of... Something. What you guess to be the chemical you smelled. Watching curiously they all deliver them to the same area, where two splitjaws in unfamiliar suits open them, letting the gaseous fumes escape into the air. But as you look down, looking for the source of the crying, realize that it is just a recorded cry, playing through a speaker system. These bastards really tried to lure you into running headfirst into their toxic cloud, to kill you without so much as a fight.

No longer restraining your power, your aura blows away the side of the cliff you'd been hiding behind as your fur sprouts all over your body, drawing the dozens of Covenant races' eyes towards you immediately. You can SMELL their fear, having not expected to stand and fight you.
“Kill the demon!” one of the splitjaws snarl, pointing towards you with their energy sword. To which you immediately blur forward, blinking the distance between you both and closing in. Before the one who called for your head can react you activate your Ki Claws, smirking as you swing both left and right claws in an 'X'. Carving him into dozens of pieces, which all collapse to the ground at your feet.
Dozens of others all take up the call, the other starship's turrets turning and firing on you as well. Leaping into the air you dodge the blasts, dashing back down and carving through the sword-wielding splitjaws first. None of them can stand up to you one-on-one, nor can their invisibility hide themselves from you as your ki sense shows you their positions flawlessly. You cut through their ranks with ease, until one of the smaller ones suddenly shouts out.
“For the Covenant!” he screeches, you all turning towards him. Only to see the little being, plasma grenade activated in either hand as he suddenly jumps AT the barrels of chemicals. Oh shit, they're going to-!
<span class="mu-s">KABOOOOOOM</span>
“BARRIER!” you shout, throwing your arms out to your sides and activating your energy shield as fast as you can, it hardening into an impenetrable shield a split-second before the blast hits you. The shock wave slams into your shield, launching you back and sending you tumbling uncontrollably through the sky. However, you make no efforts to right yourself, keeping all your focus on maintaining the shield. If it falters, that chemical, now spread by that blast, would no doubt kill you. So you keep tumbling through the air until finally landing, crashing down into a crater where you come to a stop. Laying on your back, staring up at the sky, you see a moment later one of the glassing cannons fire, no doubt aimed at where you'd first activated your power. So you rise to your feet, powering back down into your base form before flying off, leaving the Covenant behind. Which is unfortunate, as you haven't eaten for the past couple of days and were hoping to make a meal of them. But with their corpses tainted by that death chemical, there's no way you're eating them.
“Too bad. I could have used the meal.” you say, dropping out of the air after a few moments as you arrive at one of your little hidey hole caves you use for shelter. However, as you land, everything becomes pain!

An instant later your husband's power, still burning within you ignites like never before, emerald aura blazing up around you as you can feel it fighting against whatever force is suddenly acting upon you! You can feel your husband's rage, his anger and hate against whatever's trying to hurt you, trying with everything he's got left to protect you. And through the pain feel a tear come to your eye, even after all this time, even after you failed him, he's still trying to save you.
And then, all of a sudden, it's over. You blink a couple of times in confusion, looking down at yourself. Except, suddenly, your hands are green.
“Wha-? Huh? Dammit, did I ingest some of that poison?” you mutter, only to see someone suddenly appear before you. They appear with their back turned, lowering their right hand and creating a dark ki blade in it. Then, as they turn, realize that, somehow, it's you. “What the? Who're you?”
“I'm you. Or, rather, at least the one who will put this body to use.” the being with your body says, you trying to take your fighting stance. But without your tail, this body doesn't balance properly, you staggering a bit. And in that moment they strike, closing in in a flash. But then everything goes white, you blinking a couple times only to find yourself somewhere... Different. Immediately your body feels different, you looking down only to find you don't have a body. You don't have anything, no arms, no legs, nothing. Looking around in confusion, you find yourself in a strange place, the ground looking like yellow clouds and a pinkish/purplish sky. In the horizon you see what appears to be some sort of castle with a pair of horns on the roof, a single path leading from a sign that says 'Welcome' on it all the way to you. And on that path hover these small white wisps, hundreds of small, cloud-like things just hovering there. Slowly moving towards the castle, you wondering what's going on. From the wisps you hear talking, then over the murmured voices one calls out.
“All souls, please proceed to the check in station. No cutting in line, yes that means you! I see you!” someone calls, you looking ahead to see a rather strange sight. A small, blue-skinned man with horns on his head and a voice amplifier calls out, pointing with his free hand. Souls? Check in station? What is all this? But as you wonder what in the world is going on, someone else runs up to the blue-skinned creature, the two talking a moment before he raises his device, speaking into it once more. “Is there a 'Meloka' in the line? Any 'Meloka'? Hailing from a 'New Salda'?”

“Yes, I see you. You're to come over here and accompany this one inside directly!” he orders, you flying over to the other blue-skinned demon, this one wearing orange and black striped pants. “Special orders.”
“Special orders?” you ask, flying up to the two creatures. “What's going on?”
“Best come with me, your soul has been called for by...” the one with the tiger pants says, then shakes his head. “Well, you'll see soon enough.”
With nothing better to do you follow the strange creature as the other resumes yelling at the wisps still in the line as you head directly into the castle. Through the door, only to find yourself in a rather large room. Where in the center is a massive desk, but behind it sits a being who makes even that desk look small in comparison. Wearing a purple suit and hat, the hat of course bearing the same horns as the castle, you see the red-skinned giant looks nervous. But as you look around, see why. Standing there before his desk is two figures, one only a tiny, blue-skinned Kai you don't recognize. But the other is also the single-strongest being you've ever sensed before. A blue-skinned demon, as you can tell from his ears from behind turns, his power absolutely dwarfs anyone you've ever sensed before as he turns to face you. And as you look upon the being, suddenly remember his name.
“Mechikabura.” you say, surprised by the demon. Who smiles, a surprisingly warm expression for a being known as a 'Demon God'.
“Ah, there you are. Come now, it's time to go.” he says simply.
“Go? Go where?” you ask, confused. “What in the world is going on?”
“Haven't you put it together yet? You're dead.” he tells you, you feeling down for a moment. Someone's out there with your body, doing who-knows-what with it. But that feeling is short-lived, as a sudden hope appears in your heart.
“Wait, does that mean.... I get to see my Karn again?” you ask, eyes widening. But he shakes his head, and you feel your world break.
“No. If you stay here in this time, you will never see Karn again.” the Demon God tells you. “However.”
That one word reignites your dreams, hoping against hope for the impossible.
“Were you to come with us, not only would you get to see Karn again, but also your children.” the Demon God says. “They may not be as you remember, but-”
“I'm in. Let's go, what are we waiting for?” you ask as if this were a choice. To which Mechikabura smirks, turning to King Yemma.

We'll be taking this soul.” he tells the giant, who nods nervously as the most powerful being you've met turns back to you. “But we can't have you going around like that. You need a body back.”
And without another word the Demon God levels a hand at you, firing a beam of pure power at you. It strikes you, whatever's left of you, and in a flash you get it all back. Smell, touch, taste, all of your senses return, you stretching your body out, feeling it all moving. From your eyebrows down to your tail, fingertips to toes, this is <span class="mu-i">your</span> body.
“Thank you for your time, King Yemma. We shall be on our way.” Mechikabura says, turning and opening a dark, vaguely threatening portal. “Let us depart.”
“Thank you for your cooperation.” the Kai says, slightly bowing to him. To which the red man bows back far more deeply, the woman then turning to you and offering you her hand. “Come now, Meloka. The Time Patrol awaits.”
“Time Patrol?” you wonder, this isn't the bitch of a Time Kai you remember. But you accept her hand, letting her lead you into the portal. Stepping through, you find yourself back at the place you last saw your Karn, and there, standing a few feet away from Mechikabura, it's... Him. He's far more heavily-scarred than you remember seeing, especially on his face where only one eye still works. But it's undoubtedly him.
“K-Karn? KARN!!” you shout, overwhelmed with emotions as you charge, slamming into his chest. Just as broad as you remember, he wraps his arms around you as you hold him as tight as you can, sobbing into his chest. You try and talk, to say all the things you never got the chance to, but it just comes out a blubbering mess. He simply holds you, you feeling several of what feel like raindrops on your head as he does. And you lose yourself in the sensation, clutching him for dear life, terrified that if you loosen your grip even slightly he'll be gone for good. You don't know how long passes, but not long enough, for someone else taps you on the shoulder. You look up from your husband's chest, only to see a sight you never thought you would. “Ch-Chaya? Is that... REALLY you? All grown up?”
“It's me, mom. I've missed you.” she says, and you break down into tears once more. Letting go of Karn with your right you reach out and grab her too, pulling your daughter to you as well. Squeezing them both tight, so much so that you don't think you'll ever let them go again. You're finally.... Home.

I just wonder how the little bit of Karn is treating Femasu. Giving him heartburn? Bad dreams? Episodes of soul shattering agony from time to time? Teaching him how to go big pink?

>>6098399 Zamasu would get clowned in a bodysnatching competition. He doesn't have any special defenses against it himself AFAIK. And in Baby's case in particular, since he isn't being swapped out like a Ginyu style switch, even his wish of being in a body wouldn't stop him from being overpowered and put to sleep so long as he stayed in the body.

After Chaya visited Raditz and learned the truth, encountering the Tuffle menace directly and fled back to Dreadzone, Kars told Karn how to beat the monster before fleeing the mortal realm once more. Karn reaches out to his daughter, promising her that this monster won't get away with this before asking Towa what she knows. Learning a few things of this parasite Tuffle King Kudamo, Karn asks her to study the creature, to find everything she can before resuming training the young Prince Vegeta left in his care along with his other students and then his own children. However, before supper time, several invaders appeared, Karn and Caulifla with her Darkmoon powers destroying them to a man. And as we rejoin Karn, Caulifla meets your gaze, powering back down with a sigh.
“You ready to go eat?” she asks you, as if she hadn't just murdered more than double your own number of the invading, red energy-sheathed beings. “I'm starving.”
“Hold on. Who were those...Things?” you ask your daughter, also powering back down. “And why are they here?”
“They're after the Darkmoon power. I prevented them from getting their hands on it, when they killed Lord Gwyndolin. So now they're coming after me instead.” she says wearily. “That's why I usually go to 'train' in the M'lurnian Ruins by myself, I use that place to draw them in where no one else'll get hurt. That place, swathed in Dark for so long is like a second home to them, and they're more likely to appear there. But I don't know why they all appeared up here like this today.”
“Do you think there's any way to stop them from coming through?” you ask her, your daughter shaking her head.

“Right.” she replies, you both heading inside and making your way to the mess hall. Silver and his assistants once again make an absolute masterpiece of a meal, you all digging in. No one talks as you all eat, enjoying the meal to the fullest until with a sigh you finish the last bite.

“What's going on?” Karn Jr asks you, to which you turn, placing a hand on his shoulder.
“Don't worry, just a problem came up that I'm going to take care of.” you tell him, the answer satisfying your youngest. You notice Broly and Kori exchanging a glance, a bit of worry on their faces.

And an image of a being you've never seen before on one screen, its color the same as that goo that tried to grab your daughter smirking evilly. From its face you can almost <span class="mu-i">feel</span> its malice, its hatred through the screen.
“I'll assume you want them all here for this as well, and so I'll get right into it.” Towa says. “The Tuffle parasite creature known as 'Baby', made from the dna and memories of the late Tuffle King Kudamo. It exists in two states of matter at-will, choosing to make itself either a solid or liquid at any given time. This ability gives Baby the means of entering one's body to begin the Possession process, in which he completely takes over the host's bodily functions. From action to thought, the Tuffle Parasite will essentially become a part of the host.”
At this she chances the screen, showing a much younger Trunks of the Time Patrol. Watching as the slime-like body of the creature enters him. Only for the boy to transform into a Super Saiyan, blasting the pint-sized version of the parasite out of him. And, upon seeing this, your wife speaks up.
“Hold on. If the power of a Super Saiyan is enough to repel the creature, how did it take over Raditz?” she asks, you seeing Broly, Kori, and Cauli all turning to her in concern. Having not known the details yet, but seeing the sh ock and horror on their faces.
“Simple. This version you saw here was when it was only partially-born, in its infancy of power.” she replies, changing the screen again. This time showing a much older King Vegeta IV, having lost his tail and dressed in the Time Patrol's clothes, but the parasite takes him over as well. And despite the king's power, the monster fully controls him in a moment. But as he laughts, having gained control of this body. The screen then changes again, to when Trunks confronts King Vegeta. Showing his infection, Trunks then clutching his head before somehow being possessed, their facial expressions matching.
“Wait. Trunks repelled it, but the creature didn't enter him again. How did it do that?” Caulifla asks, your daughter's tone disturbed. “Can it break into your mind telepathically?”
“No no, nothing quite so direct. No, the reason it was able to regain control of him was because of the earlier possession.” Towa says, pulling up a diagram of what seems to be a person's head. “Once Baby has entered a host, it lays eggs within them. Which will hatch later, latching onto the host's brain like so. And then, once within range of the original parasite they can be 'activated', putting a victim who'd thought they had escaped back under the parasite's control. Rather ingenious, if I say so myself.”

“Then how do we remove the parasite?” Koriand'r asks, the woman having been quietly listening up to this point. “Surely they can be removed?”
“Yes, while it is possible, such a procedure is dangerous. Even I would only give their removal without injury to the host a 97.46% success rate.” she says, which is... Oddly specific. “No, the safest means of removal is killing Baby, along with whichever host body it is currently hiding in. As long as the main parasite is killed, the others will deactivate once the signal is cut, freeing the hosts from the mind control. But none of that can happen while Baby lives. This monster must be stopped as soon as possible. However...”
“However?” you ask, worried what ELSE could be a problem.
“However, I don't know why, but I tried looking through the past to see who or what influenced the Baby of this timeline to have its growth accelerated. To be active and hunting your kind thirty one years early means someone or something had to have influenced its development. But the laboratory on Planet M-2 where Baby was made has somehow been shielded from temporal investigation. I cannot peer into its creation in this time.”
Well? What now?
>You've heard enough and this threat can't be allowed to continue, have Towa teleport you to whichever planet this Tuffle Parasite Baby is on. You'll have to revive Raditz with either Namek's Dragonballs or your own Stand, but this creature needs to die. Now >Ask Towa what she thinks the best plan of action is, what she would advise you do about this threat moving forward. You've never faced a threat like this before, and don't know how to handle it >Tell Caulifla and Broly to look after their siblings, have Towa teleport you all directly this Planet M-2 to find this laboratory for yourselves. Perhaps once inside this shield, she'll be able to find more answers >Hold onto this information and wait for King Vegeta to wake up, once he's up take it all to him and see what he wants you to do >Other(write in) Anonymous

Perhaps once inside this shield, she'll be able to find more answers I figure it couldn't hurt to gather some info for Vegeta and secure the area for Cold's intelligence operatives to dig through it.
