Izumi’s group led the charge against the Archons lording over Universe 8 with an iron fist, finally taking on their leader Yalbadoth. After an intense battle, and briefly managing to harness the power of Destruction by having the Sword of Braves accept its darkness, Izzy and son of the tyrant, Ryuno, delivered the final blow brought him down! With the matters settled and Chiaotzu ready to return home, an invitation was also given to Hearts to come with them, though as he still had some mess to clean up, he had to take a rain check on that idea.
Over with Peppa, her team worked with Beelzebub in infiltrating Majin Ozotto’s palace to rescue not just Tien, but many other demons that had been apprehended for failing to show enough loyalty to the resurgent Dabura. Peppa and Shun Shun manage to pull off the rescue operation as others draw away the Demon Realm’s forces, with Peppa further uncovering, and promptly ruining, Ozotto’s stolen Hakkero. With Tien and the others rescued, Peppa’s group also helped train up Beelzebub’s gang a bit for any future fights against Dabura and Towa.
Finally, Gohan’s group got assistance from the Time Patrol, seeking out not just the Supreme Kai, but also other displaced figures from a devastated and near-barren timeline, namely a boy cursed by a fox spirit named Kajika and an unknown Saiyan girl. Finding Shin and Kajika already working together in Hell, Gohan is able to win a rock-off against a bunch of Demons seeking shards of Janemba, allowing the Muramasa to absorb them to gain new power. After an encounter with an Android made in the image of Bulma’s son, Gohan’s group then faced off with the reptilian Demon Alizarin for another Janemba shard (and an ominous Dragon Ball) and finally a warrior made of Slime monsters and Janemba’s shards declaring itself “Nemesis,” with the Android Null dealing the final blow against the latter.
What awaits our heroes next in this grand finale of Dragon Ball Tuffle Quest Kai?! Good luck, Gohan! Good luck, Izzy! Good luck, Peppa!

>>6242860 With Nemesis and Null having made peace, it looks like things in Hell are more or less resolved. Everyone gathered back together again, Shin and Kajika give some appreciative remarks. “It will still be quite a long while before this universe is completely healed, but this has at the very least put it on the right path.” the Supreme Kai says.
“Yep! And hey, you and the slime guy can keep any kinds of troublemakers in check, robot guy.” Kajika adds. Null just glances at him in acknowledgement.
“There is still one further matter of business to attend to.” Percel brings up. “While the two of you have been rescued, there is one further displaced person left to rescue. We’ll next head to planet Potaufeu to bring back the Saiyan girl trapped there.”
Buula nods, but turns to the Supreme Kai and Kajika and tells them, “I think it would be better if one of us brought you both back to the Time Patrol, just to be on the safe side. This is still supposed to be a rescue mission, and as things stand, the two of you are one step away from being completely rescued.”
The two give her disappointed looks, Kajika huffing, “Oh come on!”
Shin though sighs, admitting, “That’s an understandable request, even if I admittedly would prefer to see this through to the end…”
>A. Hey, there’s no harm in them tagging along for one last go, is there? We have more than enough people to keep them safe if there are any nasty surprises still lurking out there >B. Yeah, better safe than sorry, especially with all we’ve seen so far. We’ll see you guys again soon though, right after we rescue this girl! >C. Mind if I go back with them? I’d like to ask the Supreme Kai of Time some stuff and maybe try to cross off some places on where my dad went >D. Something else? AA !wVlGsCu6Co

>>6242862 You casually place your hands behind your head and comment, “Hey, there’s no harm in them tagging along for one last go, is there? We have more than enough people to keep them safe if there are any nasty surprises still lurking out there. Besides, the rescue mission is for ALL of you guys, right? (…Don’t answer that.) So we aren’t done just yet! Just, you know, no extreme risk taking, okay?”
Kajika grins at you appreciatively, giving a quick, “Yeah! Besides, we’ve made it this far, it’s not like either of us aren’t able to take care of ourselves.”
Shin too smiles at you, though Buula frowns. “Gohan…” she starts in a tone you know is about to become a lecture.
Bra actually sticks up for you, however. “I understand the desire to have them out of danger, better safe than sorry and all that, but I don’t think we need to be overly cautious. Besides, both of them can still help out.”
Buula’s eyes narrow, lips pressed together as she grumpily tells her, “Boss isn’t gonna like this.”
“Eh, she’s not going to be especially miffed either.” Percel remarks. “As long as we play this cautiously and don’t, you know, dive into a time rift looking for a challenge.”
“Sounds reasonable enough to me.” Minotia agrees.
Even mom gives an approving nod. “I can accept that.” Piccolo and Tapion are more neutral, but they don’t exactly back the Majin girl up either.
“Buu bring them snacks!” your buddy cheers.
Realizing she’s outvoted, Buula relents. “Fine… just, if there ARE any unwelcome surprises, I’m going to get the Time Scroll ready.”
“All right!” Kajika cheers.
Before you all leave, though, Bra approaches Null. “I… know this probably feels like too little, too late, but for what it’s worth, I would like to offer you whatever help I can give you through Time Patrol. If you’re willing to accept that, that is.” She holds her hand out for a shake. “Brother.”
The android man’s singular glowing eye stares at her silently. He then turns, simply responding, “I’ll think about it.” and starts to walk off, motioning for Nemesis to follow.
“Are you not going to join us?” Tapion inquires.
“We still have work to do.” he replies, though he looks back at Tapion and gives a slightly encouraging, “We will keep in touch, though.”
With that all set, you gather around Shin, who asks, “Now, which world are we heading to, again?”
“Potaufeu.” Piccolo recalls.
“All right…” He closes his eyes and focuses, and once he has a lock, he has all of you hold on and calls out, “Kai Kai.”

>>6242977 The landscape shifts to an alien desert, tall-stalked mushrooms scattered as the only thing resembling proper foliage. It’s… incredibly barren, far more than Hell ever was. What little life you can sense is limited to what count for animals, and even they are few in number. You all sense out, trying to find any significant Ki sources… wait, there! Three Ki signatures, at least two feel more demonic in nature.
You and a couple others take to the air and bolt off, Shin, Kajika, Buula, and Tapion sticking behind for a moment, not wanting to jump in immediately but making sure you get a good read on the situation. As the group comes into view… you’re not sure what you expected, but THAT certainly wasn’t it.
“JAN! KEN!” a girl yells out. “Rock!” She strikes a blue-skinned goblin-looking demon hard enough to send it flying. “Sciccors!” She catches a chop from the red goblin demon between two fingers. “PAPER!” And a palm strike sends that one flying as well. She takes a fighting stance, smirking and confident. It is indeed a Saiyan girl, one with a tail and black hair, dressed in pink PTO armor with a deep burgundy jumpsuit, scouter on her face…
with hair the EXACT same as your father’s. Even mom does a double-take, silently mouthing, “What…?”
“I said it before, I’ll say it again, STAY AWAY FROM THE STUPID WATER!” she yells at the demons. However, feels like there’s another one flying toward them from much further away. Noticeably stronger, too, even if you could probably beat ‘em with ease.

Okay, sorry about that delay, wife and I just got back from shopping. We are back!
>>6242978 You look to the Saiyan girl, then over to the incoming Ki signature. “Someone, that girl could use one of the fruits. She likely hasn’t had a good meal in quite some time and could use that lil’ pick me up to get her back up to full strength.”
“Snack Officer Buu!” the little Majin cheers, flying toward her.
“I’ll… go with him.” mom says as she flies off as well.
“Bra, wanna watch my back as I take care of that incoming demon?” you ask.
She quickly nods. “Sure thing. Let’s go, Gohan.”
https://youtu.be/fz3tfobc3n4?si=WOuqkZ9gWV_Biz_E Both of you charge toward the incoming presence, and as you approach it starts to feel oddly familiar. Almost like… oh, oh of course, you were warned about that dumbass. Rocketing forward is a little imp-like man with pale-green skin and a wild look in his eyes. He raises an eyebrow, a snarl forming on his face as he closes in. “Who the devil…?”
“HEY, GARLIC JR!” you yell at him, a cheeky plan forming in your head.
“HMN?!” he growls in confusion, taking a fighting stance.
“BEHIND YOU!” you call out, and right as he turns, you quietly say, “Kai Kai!” Before he knows it, you’re delivering a roundhouse kick to his head from behind him.
“AGH, YOU STUPID PUNK!” he shouts as he rubs his head.
You give a shrug, commeting, “Hey, I telegraphed that, your fault for not guarding it.”
“Nnngghhh…! WHO ARE YOU?!” Garlic Jr. demands.
You cross your arms and boast, “From the sound of things, someone you know already, here to kick your ass yet again!”
He stares at you, then turns as he finally properly notices Bra. “Wait… Earthlings? Some damnable Earthlings SURVIVED?! Of course, you fled and hid!” He then gets… a wild, manic look in his eyes. “You won’t get the Superhuman Water… YOU WON’T! I WILL GET THE WATER! THEN, I WILL SEND YOU WRETCHES BACK! YOU DAMNED EARTHLINGS TO AN ETERNITY IN LIMBO, UNABLE TO PASS ON! AHAHAHAHAHA!”
…
So, he’s clearly lost it. Actually, did he ever even really “have” it in the first place?

>>6243304 He holds both hands forward toward you, blasting out a few rings of energy that you and Bra avoid with ease. Then you quickly dash at him and deliver a gut-punch that winds him… but you also notice that the damage you did to him with that prior kick has already healed. Garlic Jr. also takes the opportunity to use the fact that you’re in close to place his hands on you, sending out an electric shock into your body. Ow ow ow ow ow!
Bra grabs him by his cape and swings him around, finally flinging him into the ground. She next asks, “You okay Gohan?”
“What damage done was mostly limited to my pride.” you reply, shaking off the stun.
She places her hands on her hips and asks, nodding her head to the crater she made Garlic Jr. In the middle, “…So what’re we gonna do with him?”
>A. Interrogate, we need to know what his deal is, and why he’s after whatever “water” he was shouting about >B. …Bra, have you ever played baseball before?

>>6243306 You think for a moment, then glance upward toward the sky. “…Say Bra, you ever play baseball before?”
She rubs the back of her neck, admitting, “I mean, my Gohan kinda helped me learn some of the basics, and Mai knew some of the basics about it…”
“RRAAAAAAGGGHH!” Garlic Jr. roars out in fury, bulking up considerably as he transforms. “EARTHLING WRETCHES!”
“I figure we can send moldy old Garlic Bread into orbit to keep him out of our hair, or at least causing any more problems in the immediate moment. If he’s as immortal as he supposedly is, we can just question him again later, should the need arise.” You crack your knuckles. “Up for it?”
Bra looks toward the seething demon man, then smirks at you and agrees. “I’ll give it a try.”
“Try for the broad side of your sword.” you suggest, and she gives a thumb’s up. “All right! Batter up!” You rocket down, avoiding a surprisingly powerful strike from the Makyan. Okay, considerable power boost, but nothing for you to worry about.
“THE WATER IS MINE! IT’S MINE! I WON’T LET YOU-! GYAAAH!” You hit his face with a Burning Crusher, and while it still… does quite a bit of damage, he heals from it almost instantly. You however grapple his massive body, and then fling him full force toward Bra.
She brings out her sword and lets energy flow into it, and even as Garlic Jr. attempts to scream out a blast of energy at her, it proves to be fruitless. Aaaand…
https://youtu.be/TZ7kUss8bjo?si=6diIBAFu98pPNvDk She does as you suggested, hitting the demon man with the broad side of her sword with full force, even briefly going Super Saiyan for it, and so Garlic Jr. is sent off into orbit, screaming and roaring in incoherent rage until neither of you can hear him anymore. Soon enough he’s but a twinkle in the sky.
“Looks like Team Garlic’s blasting off again…” you say under your breath. Peppa would appreciate that.

>>6243481 Bra starts to fly on back, and you follow after her, the both of you coming across the sight of the very clearly famished Saiyan girl on her third ensenji fruit. “Pawh!” she exhales in satisfaction. “Thaaaat hit the spot.”
“Buu help!” the little Majin cheers.
“That ya did. Sorry about blastin’ ya.” she apolgizes. “You know you’re smaller than I thought you’d be, Majin Buu.”
He huffs. “Buu still strong.”
“Okay, now, let’s take this from the top.” your mom begins. “Your name was… Kiclee, correct?”
“Yea-huh.” she confirms, tail swaying behind her as she stands back up.
“How exactly did you get here?” Maple asks next.
“Well I was helping my pal Prika try out a new move and- wah!” She takes a defensive stance as she sees you and Bra arrive. “Who’re you guys?!”
“I’m Bra, of the Time Patrol.” the woman beside you introduces, and that eases her just a tad.
You meanwhile…

>>6243482 Okay, how did this go again? Ah yes! “Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong” you declare, bringing out your guitar and strumming it. “I am the disciple of the Grand Supreme Kai, the one that rocks the heavens! I am the disciple of the Supreme Kai, the one that befriended the one and only Majin Buu!” You play a tune, and proudly proclaim, “I am the Champion of the Heavens, child of the people of planet Plant, child of Champions of Earth, Son Gohan!”
Mom applauds, even wiping a tear from her eye. Hehe, nice. Buu cheers, pumping his fists in the air.
And… Kiclee stares at you with an almost indeterminent expression. You almost worry you’ve bewildered or even annoyed the girl… until she finally starts to let out an excited squeal as she seems nearly starstruck. “Eeeeeeee~!”
…Okay that’s a positive reaction right? “Right then, now that we know each other-”
“A REAL LIFE GOHAN!” she exclaims. Kiclee then runs to you, almost bouncing in place. “Oh wow I haven’t seen a redheaded one of you all that often! And you play the guitar too? Oh oh oh you’re a Saiyan right?! CAN YOU GO SUPER SAIYAN!?!”
“Y-yes…?” This is not what you were ready for.
Mom chuckles a little. “Well, you’ve met my son now, Kiclee-”
“SON?!” She does a double-take upon heading that. “WhaaaaaaAAAAAAt?!”
“Okay, okay, calm down Kiclee.” you request. “Before I answer anything else, I need to know. Have you been fighting off Garlic Jr. and all his new cronies all this time?”
Her shoulders slouch and she hangs her head. “Kinda…”
“Again, let’s take this from the top.” mom requests.
She rubs the back of her neck. “Ahem. So, I showed up here like… a month ago? I was helping Prika with a new technique of hers, when suddenly this big shard of like… weird glowy stuff came down. Seemed like a time rift but I wasn’t able to find my way back out of it, and so I… guess I was stuck here for a while.” She starts to move toward that rocky outcropping, continuing, “I came across this jar thing and a message left behind near it.”
“...Kiclee, if you don’t mind my asking, WHEN exactly are you from?” Bra asks.
“Oh! Age 1982.” she says almost casually.
You feel like your jaw is about to fall off as it hangs open, agape. “Age… nine-TEEN eighty two?!”
“Yeah-huh!” she confirms. “Anyway, this is what I found when I started looking for a way home.”

>>6243623 As you all reach it, she brings up a cylindrical device, which projects a holographic image upon activation. A ancient, balding blue-skinned man with marks around his eyes and white beard upon his face, dressed in pale yellow-gold… armor? “You who come across this world, heed this warning. I am Potage, last of my kind, final protector of the cursed Commeson. I know not how many will ever hear this message, the stars are so silent now, but should you reach this world, please, do not free the Commeson. It is no Superhuman Water of legend, it is a powerful and vengeful weapon, made to protect our world from invasion yet proven to be too great a threat to the universe at large. It will target an invader’s mind and body, producing a copy of it as it saps their power and very essence, until they are no more. If you come across it, please, do not let it out, do not let any others unseal it, the fate of the universe depends upon it…”
You look over to what’s probably the container of this… Commeson thing. “So… you’ve been guarding this for all this time?”
“Yeah. I mean, I still wanna find a way home, but then a bunch of demons keep showing up trying to take it.” She places her hands on her hips, shaking her head and huffing, “I tried to explain it but they just don’t listen! Ugh! So I have to keep whoopin’ their butts and sendin’ them packing. Garlic Jr. has been the biggest problem since he’s keeps coming back, but I think there’s been something else out there just… watching, waiting for the right moment.”

>>6243624 Something watching and waiting…? Well, you have an idea or two. Telepathically you send out to the other two groups, ‘Hey, just to be on the safe side, you might want to search the area for any other suspicious individuals. Seems like there might be someone else lurking around after all.’ Okay, with that done… “Hey, mom, might be a good idea to get a copy of that message on your Scouter, no?”
“Good thinking, Gohan.” she agrees, and gets to work doing just that.
Kiclee once more has a surprised look on her face. “She really is your mom…? She looks pretty young…”
“Thank you, young lady.” Maple responds politely, and gets to work recording the message.
And now, this Commeson thing. You approach it carefully, commenting, “Bra, do you think the Time Patrol might be able to do something about this thing? Like, put it into deep storage or the like?”
She scratches her head, responding, “I mean… generally we don’t try to just snatch up things sealed away in other timelines unless there’s some issue of them being from other time periods. However, something like this, where there’s clear reason that leaving it alone in a universe already barely hanging on… maybe?”
Okay, reasonable but also, just to try to prompt whoever this is watching on… “Well, that’s an option then, but maybe… maybe we could like… destroy it, somehow? That’ll guarantee there’s no need to stay here and watch over it, Kiclee. Then you can head on home.”
“I mean only reason I haven’t really tried that yet is because I’m… not really sure it’d be a good idea doing that on my own. Eheheh.” she admits, rubbing the back of her neck. Wow she even kinda laughs like dad.
That seems to do it. ‘Gohan, there’s something headed your way! I’m going to try to intercept!’ Tapion calls out to you telepathically.
‘It doesn’t have any sort of true life force… it’s a machine!’ Piccolo warns. ‘But it’s still somehow giving off a power I can almost feel… what the hell is this?!’
‘I got a hit on it!’ Minotia exclaims. ‘…Didn’t slow it down, but I did!’
‘I did as well!’ Tapion adds.

>>6243721 https://youtu.be/u5HRBoqF6jM?si=O9qT8-WqjNybsWu6 Mom seems to get a flash of warning, and you quickly make for the jar. Kiclee is about to shout at you when a shadowy figure rockets past, just narrowly missing it thanks to your quick thinking and Maple’s telekinesis redirecting it just enough that it’s clearly out of the way. You even notice Kiclee almost instinctually move out of the way of the attack, even as she tried to stop you from grabbing the container.
It stops in midair and turns, about to make a second pass, but you and everyone else have your guards up now, with you, Bra, and mom all drawing your swords. Kiclee also briefly squeals, “Woooow they have cool swords too…!” before refocusing at the opponent. Now that you can get a proper read on it, it… it’s a humanoid robot with a purple-black armored body, limbs of darkened silver, a pointed head with a face that almost evokes the image of a skull, and winglike protrusions coming from its back. Piccolo was right though, it doesn’t have any real Ki to speak of, and yet still seems to be radiating a dark, powerful energy, possibly demonic in nature. What’s more, the scratches that Tapion and Minotia left on it seem to be healing fairly quickly.
Bra glares at it. “I’m only going to warn you once, Android. Whatever you think you’re doing, you better stand down, or we WILL send you to the scrap heap.”
It holds forward a hand, building energy up in its palm. Looks like that’s as clear an answer as any.

Rolled 3, 1, 3 = 7 (3d20) >>6243722 “All right, you want it? You’ll have to catch me! LATER, LOSER!” you call out, rocketing off with the container. The robot gives chase, even as the others try to stop it. Buu manages to fly up right behind you, overtaking the robot, and looks like you’re keeping a pretty good distance!
…And that’s when it finishes charging its attack, somehow sending a barrage of meteors filled with malicious power at you. You and Buu try to avoid them, but only your Majin friend gets lucky enough to keep out of harm’s way of all of them, as you get pelted by a few. And that slows you down just enough for the robot to catch up. And it again has built up quite a lot of power into its hand, this time making a fist. Gotta think fast…!
“Buu! Hot potato!” you exclaim, tossing the jar over to the little Majin. Buu catches it, even if he nearly drops it from surprise. Then you build up energy and Magic into your palm, shouting next, “Hey, boltbutt! TAKE THIS!” You use the Burning Crusher on the robot’s fist, catching it. Hah! You’ve got ‘em right where you want ‘em!
…That’s when you start to feel it overtaking you in strength, the purple aura around it surging and contrasting with your white aura. It then forms a blade of fire from its other hand, with you needing to quickly draw and block it with the Muramasa. A quick knee to your gut winds you, with the robot throwing you to the ground.
You shake your head, then look to the Muramasa, checking to see how it’s reacting to that energy. And… it pulses with familiarity. Oh. Crap. Maple manages to try to depower it with a Samma Vaca, and while that distracts it from you and Buu, it actually… reaches out and creates a wormhole of sorts. Crap. Another shard of Janemba? Putting its arm in right as Bra, Tapion, and Minotia approach, it pulls out… Garlic Jr.?!
“RRAAAHHHHHHH!” the bulked up Makyan screams out… and then seems to be pumped up with even more energy from the robot. Crapbaskets. “EARTH…LINGS?! EARTHLINGS AGAIN! YOU… MORE OF YOU! AND… AND…!” His head turns as he sees Buu flying off with the container. “THE WATER! THE WATER IS MINE! MINE! MIIIIIIINE!”
Yet instead of letting him pursue, the robot flings him at Bra, Tapion, and Minotia like a missile… with him actually EXPLODING as he reaches the three, forcing them to back away. In spite of Garlic Jr.’s self-detonation, he regenerates almost instantly yet clearly painfully. The robot starts moving again, even with it depowered some thanks to mom. Damn it!
>A. BUU! DESTROY IT, QUICK! >B. …If the robot has a shard of Janemba in there, maybe you can absorb it! Just gotta time it right! >C. Might need Kajika’s help again, maybe you can force some of that energy out of it with his assistance! >D. Something else? hit a guy with another guy

>>6244291 https://youtu.be/9R6aTMtF8Rg?si=PalTEUP87QzNFffR Okay, need to think fast! Buu’s got the Commeson, evil robot’s on his tail… but it has a shard of Janemba in it. Idea! ‘Kajika, need your help again, I think!”
‘Yo!’
‘We’re gonna need to try that shard separation trick, one last time. Can you let Shin and Buula know?’
‘Will do! Be there on your signal!’
Good. Good. This can work. This will work. But you need some way of slowing this thing down, especially since- CRAP! It catches up to Buu and sends out a chaotic burst of power, blasts flying out in all directions that the little Majin tries, yet that was enough a distraction for it to close in and snatch the container out of Buu’s hands!
Maple keeps up the Samma Vaca yet also tries to hold it in place with Telekinesis, her own aura surging around her as you feel Magic start to build up around her. Garlic Jr. You jump in close and build up some Magic in your hands, then bring them to your face. ‘Guys shield your eyes!’ Okay, only one chance at this! “SUPERFLARE!”
The enhanced flash of Light and depowering effect of the technique works exceptionally well against the machine, stunning it… and causing it to drop the container! CRAP!
“THE WATER IS MIIIIIINE!” Garlic Jr. flies at it even as Bra, Tapion, and Minotia try to stop him, stabbing and slashing him with blows that would otherwise be completely fatal if not for his immortality, even an attempt to physically restrain him just sees him exploding his apprehended limbs with the power the robot granted him! What’s worse, behind him he tears open a hole of darkness that starts to suck in everything around it!
“Damn it, fall back!” Bra commands, grabbing Kiclee by the arm as she’s pulled forward, flying back.
And Garlic Jr. is still heading toward the falling container! You try to stop him next yet the enraged robot grabs hold of you, its massive hand squeezing around your face! You try to pull it off with as much strength as you can muster, but it won’t budge! Damn it, no!

>>6244371 https://youtu.be/cOF16JtYwoQ?si=62TaDMDGdKReSHQB A portal opens up in front of Garlic Jr. A portal right to Hell, and right in front of the container. Out of it dashes Null, who gets behind the Makyan and blasts him in the back with his arm cannon! Garlic Jr. is sent into it with not a moment to spare! Nemesis likewise catches the container before it can shatter!
The malice-filled robot’s sensors start to normalize, and as it catches sight of Null, it seems to only grow MORE enraged, letting go of your face as it readies itself to attack the new challenger. You give the signal, ‘KAJIKA NOW!’
Buula and Kajika appear in front of the machine, and after a strange sense of time slowing you see the boy with his hands forward, exorcising whatever malicious presence exists within the robot. You help it along with your own exorcism skills, you lift it out of the machine! The miasmic presence hovers in the air for a moment, and you quickly stab the Muramasa into it!
Power flows into the sword, and you do what you can to try to help it along, even as the portal to the Dead Zone grows. Finally… you’ve got it! The Muramasa changes shape yet again, this time becoming a sword with a purple and crimson blazing blade, like the fire sword the robot used against you just a moment ago, but with the full power of the energy residing in it condensed into the blade.
The robot’s body limply falls to the ground as the Dead Zone portal continues to grow. Crap, what to do now…?

Okay, we are back!
>>6244374 As the portal to the Dead Zone starts to grow, its pull only strengthening even without Garlic Jr. helping it along, you look to the Muramasa and get an idea. Two of them, actually! First thing’s first, though! “NULL! NEMESIS! THROW IT INTO THE PORTAL, QUICK!”
The slime warrior almost looks like it’s about to hesitate, but Null looks to it, and even with the almost emotionless faceplate, he seems to give an expression that says, “You’re better than it.” Nemesis then flings the Commeson toward the Dead Zone, with it getting sucked in and lost forever. Okay, step one, done!
Step two! You focus with the Muramasa, trying to keep its power in check in this form as you fly toward the portal. Before anyone has time to protest, you hold the sword forward, and let out a burst of power from it. Just as quickly as the Dead Zone portal began to draw things in, it stops, then shatters into ethereal shards. What’s more, it seems the sword sort of… reaches more of an understanding, almost? At the very least it seems to give off the sense that it’s “pleased” with itself after that. It the returns to its normal state, with you placing it back in its sheath. It also sorta… almost “feels” like you and the sword better understand what the Dead Zone, or at least a portal to it, well… “feels” like, in a sense? Interesting, and potentially very useful.
Everyone lets out a sigh of relief. It’s all over. “That was AWESOME, Gohan!” Kajika praises, with Kiclee looking on in awe.
>A. All right, think we’re done here. Let’s head back, guys >B. Say, Null, that robot looked like it recognized you. Some history there? You gonna keep it? >C. So is it a good idea to just… leave Garlic Jr. in hell like that? >D. Something else? Anonymous
>>6244924 >B. Say, Null, that robot looked like it recognized you. Some history there? You gonna keep it? >C. So is it a good idea to just… leave Garlic Jr. in hell like that? Null and Nemesis have an immortal punching bag to guard the ensenji fruit from and prevent him from opening up the dead zone in Hell while dealing with other demon realm members who will surely challenge him for dominance.

>>6244924 https://youtu.be/W9uBfSQewq8?si=nLcgfJSWWe2Ijm34 “Wooooow…” Kiclee lets out. “How did you do that?”
You smirk a bit, drawing the Muramasa one more time, looking down at it. “It was simple…” you make a flourishing slash in the air, then sheath it again. “…and clean.”
“Eeeee, so cool…!”
Mom also gives you an approving thumb's up, which you return. She then starts to talk with the others for a bit, making sure everything's all settled.
Turning to look at Null and Nemesis, you give a little nod. “Hell portals, huh? Think you could tell the Muramasa and I how to do that?”
“It knows already. It’s a matter of your willingness to work with it to use such an ability. It is your skill to truly master, both of you.” Nemesis responds.
“Neat.” You next move over to the inert body of the robot, its body still eerily intact, even kinda giving off a sense of energy, even without the shard of Janemba trapped within it. It’s just… inert. “That thing looked like it recognized you. Had some history with it? And… you gonna keep that thing, or what?”
“Fought it before. Alien machine, ancient, treacherous, developed a desire for power.” Null responds, shaking his head at it. “A fool to the end. But not one I should leave for other madmen to find.” He picks it up, then casually tosses it over to Nemesis, who catches it with equal ease.
Bra gives him a sad smile, starting to say, “I’m… sorry-”
“Stop apologizing.” Null asks firmly and bluntly. “…I know you aren’t her. Don’t try to speak on her behalf.” Bra just closes her mouth and nods.
“So, you DO have Garlic Jr. trapped in Hell now. Is that like, a good idea? I mean I don’t doubt you guys could keep him in check, he’s basically an immortal punching bag to people at your level of strength. Hell (heh), it’s actually kinda funny, he gained immortality and still got sent straight to loserville, I don’t really know where a better place to put him might be beyond that Dead Zone again. That and he can probably keep some of the more ambitious demons in check when they try to challenge him for dominance or go after the tree’s fruits…” You rub the back of your neck. “What I mean is, any other place you guys might need help tossing ol’ rancid Garlic Sauce?”
“We can handle him.” Nemesis declares confidently, then turns to look toward the sky. Dusk is starting to give way to night here, with the first few stars peaking through. Hefting the sword around, the slime creature in it looks up in wonder, and you can almost get the sense that the warrior shares in that feeling.
Null looks up as well, and yet you feel almost a sense of melancholy with him instead. He looks at Bra again, telling her, “There’s… much work that still needs to be done. But should the need arise, I’m willing to answer the call… sister.”
Bra’s smile returns, genuine and happy this time. “Until then.”

>>6245033 Finally, all of you are gathered up and brought back to the Supreme Kai of Time and Trunks. You notice that a red-haired man with an outfit similar to Bra’s (just with the addition of a cape), and a spiky blue-haired man in a track suit, are talking with them and the Grand Supreme Kai for a moment, before they vanish with a Time Scroll.
“Welcome back, everyone! Mission’s a success I take it?” the little pink Kai lady asks cheerfully.
Buula points to Kajika on her shoulders, while Bra places a hand on Kiclee’s and nods, Tapion and Minotia sharing a thumb’s up with Shin. Percel is the one to speak up, declaring, “A rousing one, at that. Though there is a small hiccup that should probably be addressed…” All of you get in closer as the Dragon Ball you found is presented to the Kais and Trunks.
“...I can’t say I’ve seen one in this color before.” Trunks comments.
“It… feels like one of those from the Demon Realm.” the Grand Supreme Kai remarks. “But there’s something clearly different about it.”
“Should we have taken it in the first place?” mom asks.
“...Yeah. As divergent as a timline like that is, something like THAT shouldn’t be in there.” the Supreme Kai of Time confirms.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6245034 Rubbing your chin, you ask the Supreme Kai of Time, “So… where might it be from, then? And do you think it was the only one that ended up there?”
She shakes her head. “I don’t quite think it had any others. Where exactly did you find it?”
“It was attached to the demon Alizarin, which housed a shard of Janemba with it too.” Bra explains. “We removed it along with the shard from the demon.”
Closing her eyes, the Kai lady thinks for a moment. “…I think it might have something to do with the three that were displaced from their home universes.”
Kiclee shrugs. “I ain’t ever seen a Dragon Ball like that before. But I also only really heard about them in legend, if I’m being honest.”
“I haven’t even heard of a Dragon Ball before meeting you guys.” Kajika adds. “So it ain’t from mine.”
“No, not that it was from your worlds, but that your arrival there is linked with the arrival of the Dragon Ball. The one responsible for it being the one responsible for the Dragon Ball showing up…” She then very directly looks at Shin, who picks up on what she’s thinking.
“...Or even my arrival as well.” he says. “And the one responsible for it…”
“Ah!” mom speaks up. “The Promised Day! That might be what Towa’s been working toward all this time!”
“You believe Towa has her own set of Dragon Balls?” Piccolo asks.
“Or at the very least has been able to force someone to make a set for her…” Maple speculates. “And the promised day could be the moment of their creation… or the moment they’re reunited.”
“That could be how they are bargaining the power of the Makaioshin as well…” the Grand Supreme Kai adds. “Or, attempting to keep his own ambitions in check.”
“This is kinda going over my head. You getting any of this?” Kajika asks Kiclee in a whisper, the fox spirit beside him shaking its head.
She shrugs. “I get some of the names being tossed around but not the full context.”
“Then this is something we’ll need to be extra vigilant on.” Buula declares.
You snap your fingers, asking, “Hey! If they’re related to any displaced peoples, maybe that’d help us locate dad! Or at least, it could be something that can help with the search. Supreme Kai of Time, do you think you guys might appreciate any extra help with that?”
Crossing her arms, she hums as she considers it. “Mmm... it… could be the lead we really need. But there’s no guarantee how many other of these Dragon Balls there are either. So while it might narrow things down, it won’t be an immediate solution. Just a relatively quicker one.”

>>6245077 “Aren’t there usually seven?” mom asks.
She nods. “Earth’s and Namek’s, yes, but there could be as little as two or three. Though I don’t exactly want to get your guys’ hopes up on that front…”
“Maybe we could help out with the search then? Or at least handle some of the more regular load you guys take on.” you suggest.
“Sounds like you’re asking to join the Time Patrol.” Cronoa winks and smiles. “Or at least be deputized again for this.”
“It would be a big help, boss.” Percel agrees. “And as unorthodox as some of the things we went through might have been, they all could more than handle themselves.”
“For sure.” Bra chimes in. “Though I also have someone we met there I’d like to extend a formal invitation to, even if it can wait until later.”
Buula adds, “The Wild Cards live up to their designation.”
“Snack Officer Buu helped a lot!” the little Majin declares, puffing his chest up proudly.
“I mean, we do technically already have his, er… big sister helping us too.” Trunks reminds the Supreme Kai of Time, which confuses you for a moment before you recall how Peppa’s counterpart was apparently already working with them.
She places her hands on her hips and declares, “I’ll tell you guys what, you let us properly analyze this Dragon Ball to ensure this isn’t actually some trap Towa’s got planned, and then we’ll give you guys a call. Deal?”
“If this helps speed up getting my monkey boy back, then absolutely. Deal.” Maple agrees, holding her hand out to shake on it. The Supreme Kai of Time does just that, and then offers you a shake too, which you readily accept.
“She even has a pet name for her Goku…” Kiclee notes under her breath, slightly blushing.
“Before we go, then,” You hold up the Muramasa, still in its sheath. “do any of you have any advice on harmonizing with my sword’s kinda… frankly exceptional new powers?”
The Supreme Kai of Time grumbles a little at it, noting, “I… will say that while I’m not gonna object to how you’ve helped handle the shards of Janemba, I’m not especially thrilled about it either.”
“I think I may have a suggestion, though.” the Grand Supreme Kai speaks up. “Perhaps the more calming presence of our world will help you with it. Additionally, perhaps you can request the aid of certain individuals…” He looks at Tapion, Minotia, and then Buu.
Tapion smiles and tells you, “I would be more than willing to help you in that endeavor, Gohan.”
“Same here!” Minotia cheers as he smiles wide. “At the very least we can help out in case things go awry.”
“Buu good at helping!” the Majin adds in proudly. “Buu help make sword calm down.”
“Thanks, everyone.” you say as you look at the sword. “…And I know there’s some real good in you still, too. I’ll do what I can to help bring that to the surface, so you can really reach your full potential.”

>>6245078 “So I guess you guys are going…” Kiclee says sadly. “Well… it was nice meeting you all!”
“Absolutely.” Kajika agrees. “Was nice workin’ with you, Supreme Kai.”
He shakes hands with the boy. “Indeed. Best of luck when you get back home, Kajika.”
“Hope I get to see you guys again!”
“Same. Though under better circumstances next time, heh heh.” you chuckle.
https://youtu.be/yCVJcq220h0?si=_3VeiYQJaxAZU0YI With all the plans made, Buula helps bring everyone back home to Earth, your Earth, your home. And as you arrive, you see Izzy’s group has already arrived, while Peppa’s has shown up just a bit before you. Chiaotzu flies at Tien and hugs him tight, with Launch running up next and pulling one arm around him, giving him an affectionate noogie, followed by a kiss. Everyone next notices your group with Shin home too, safe at last.
Cheers erupt over a job well done, with Izzy and Peppa approaching you directly. Your sister holds out a fist, smiling proudly at you. Izzy does so next, and you can tell that even though she’s been through quite an ordeal, it’s one that’s boosted her confidence quite a bit. You finally hold your fist up, a feeling of accomplishment over all you’ve been through too. The three of you share a fist bump, feeling ready for whatever comes next.

So Capsule Corp is deep in the red for some reason, there’s a new Megacorp out there consuming all its consumerbase. The Briefs find out who all their base belong to, Easterly Enterprises. This new corporation claims it can do one better than CC at selling dream homes, it can sell people Dreams. Literally, the product it sells are little easter eggs that, when opened, can make someone experience a hallucination of the best time in their life. Anything you wish for, you got it, and it’s all contained in your mind.
Those caught in this Refrained state are left highly suggestible, hypnotized to follow the commands of the eggs’ creator, a mysterious individual known as MC. He plans to go global, and does a corporate takeover of Capsule Corp, and even gets all the mad scientists in on this too: He plans to turn the moon into an easter egg, using it to broadcast his technological spellcraft onto the world, and then other worlds as well. All in the Eggmoon Empire will be left in a blissful lie where they obey MC for eternity.
Saiyans are immune to this effect, of course, but the spell does use Blutz Waves, so they go ape instead.
Now, the big core of this, which is 100% why I conceived of it: the uniform of MC’s forces is that of bunnygirl outfits for women, reverse bunnygirl outfits for men. I like seeing them!
So this would lead to us fighting familiar faces in fanservicey outfits, which I think would be a neat way to end things off. Probably just me though. Whatchall got?

I'm a big sucker for the art of her and her evil twin, and this could be like that instance of Inner Sakura being relevant all of one time!
Alas, I don't think this plot would work on Maple and Trip and Chi-Chi
because they don't celebrate Easter , so that right there a big loss on the potential for this.

Okay, we are back!
>>6245080 After the excitement of bringing home most of the displaced allies, things started to settle a bit over the next few months. Launch recently gave birth to a healthy baby girl, with her and Tien naming their child Fuyong. Similarly, Beelzebub and Princess Misa introduced their own child… who they still did indeed name Basilea, even with her elder counterpart still around, who once more stated her promise that she’d do everything within her power to keep a repeat of what happened to her, happen to that girl. Maple was able to help formalize some relations with the inhabitants of the metallic world of Varak and Earth, with Eagalia formally meeting King Furry, all the while Mugen has attempted to ease tensions with the Machine Mutants and start up potential negotiations with them and the Varakians, Kuriza even helping that along.
Meanwhile, you, Son Peppa, and your brother Gohan and cousin Izzy, have all finally graduated from Orange Star High School, with a number of colleges already willing to offer each of you scholarships… not all of them on Earth, to your slight surprise. Though for now, there’s no real rush. Gohan’s been keeping up trips to the Supreme Kais’ planet with Majin Buu, working on trying to better control his Muramasa. Izzy and her gang have been working hard on some community service stuff, while also helping Melchior and his new assistant… and keeping that Darutanias guy under watch. Also something about plans for a party with mermaids? Eh whatever. Anyway, you, Peppa? Well of course, you…
>A. Have put all the more effort into getting stronger! You’re going to keep going until you break your limits again! >B. Have been making sure to spend extra time with your friends, especially your girlfriend, making sure you keep up time for them >C. Have sneakily helped out Beelzebub and his allies, especially with how even with Ozotto’s plan derailed you feel like something’s still off… >D. Have worked with Mugen and Kuriza in trying to help smooth things over between the Machine Mutants and Varakians >E. Have actually started looking into those scholarship offers with mom and Gohan. Might not be any rush, but couldn’t hurt to at least try to plan ahead >F. Have made some real progress with your therapist, even with some more recent lingering concerns you’ve had >G.

>>6245488 I must disagree with you. Taking a break for college is the responsible choice. In order to take care of future kids that eat half as much as one of their mothers, Peppa and Cocoa will both need to excel at their work, and that means putting in the work to do so.
I have faith that a few years apart will make the heart grow fonder, working towards seeing each other again. And if that doesn't come to pass, that too will pass.
But I don't think This is the vote for that yet, so holding off till high school is past is better.

Thanks for running all these years, Kato! I've kinda considered you and your quest as pillars to rely on for a lot of the darker periods I've gone through.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6245479 You have been making sure, of course, to spend all the more time with your friends, especially your girlfriend, of course. Birthdays, movies, picnics, you even pull Cocoa in for your high school prom, the both of you in beautiful, matching dresses, mirroring the ones you wore for her winter formal. Among the things you’ve done with them, you’ve spent time helping Videl look into the idea of joining some law enforcement or peacekeeping agency… and you were surprised by the number of things she ended up getting offers for. And again, not all of them Earthbound including the Galactic Patrol and Ginyu Force. Additionally, you help Pantea out some with the game development she’s got going with Bulma, testing out some of the figurines they’ve developed. A couple new ones based on you, actually, with some comments about the World Tournament belt one making for a decently popular one among collectors (though with reassurances that it’s… mostly a joke).
Daikon and Baozi also have a short little excursion with you during Spring Break, with you taking your younger cousin and Vegeta’s son on a tour to a game studio they both like, with them getting a picture with their favorite speedy blue hedgehog mascot. You later help Keli some in preparation for her wedding with Melee, which is still quite a ways off, but they’re nonetheless taking it as seriously as they can. Though with that, you have also sneakily been heading into the Demon Realm with Basilea and her attendants to help Prince Beelzebub in any ways you can, making some short trips for training, teaching, and spying on whatever Towa and Ozotto are up to. The Majin has been oddly quiet for a few months, even after he finally seemingly recovered from your prior excursion… but you’ve got your eyes and ears open just in case things change. There’s… this feeling like there’s something else that’s happened because of the Hakkero getting trashed that you just haven’t quite pieced together. At least, not yet.
You also take some time helping Lime with some treasure hunting, something that thankfully doesn’t lead into an elaborate dive into some lost, forbidden, dangerous remnants of ancient civilizations. You do find a few cool outfit ideas from that, at the least, which you sketch out for future reference. And speaking of sketches, you make sure to make a dedicated one about all the friends you spend time with, and by the time you graduate, more than half of it is full of memories of with them. It’s capped off with one big spread of you with all your friends and family. You kinda want that one framed, honestly. Might just do it some time.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6245625 https://youtu.be/u_Tq7EmpqAU?si=IYVWMA6v8ibGsLc7 But, with all this said, youve never given up on your training. If anything, you’ve only been trying all the harder in the months since you last came back from the Tien rescue mission. You keep pushing your speed…
You lap around the Earth again, landing on the Lookout as Piccolo stands before you. You pant, catching your breath for a moment, then asking for your time. Piccolo smirks. “Six seconds better than your starting time. But more importantly you’ve gotten more efficient even at your higher speeds, maintaining top speed for longer. Good work.”
Your endurance…
On the crushingly intense gravity of Z’S, you keep up an intense but focused and slower workout, trying your best to handle it even at lower states of power, keeping the intense pressure all around you at bay for as long as possible. You even find some time to meditate for a while there, letting yourself remain calm and clear of mind even while in a place like this.
Your skills…
Cycling through the many techniques you’ve learned and tried before, you work to really perfect and master as many of them as you can. The usage of Wind Magic in your attacks, the powers shown to you by Master Pybara, and everything you’ve developed on your own using the skills you’ve learned. You hold up a Ki Drill and use it against a Ki blast you shot upward that’s coming crashing down, absorbing its power as it connects. You stare upward, still holding that Ki Drill up, smirking confidently toward the sky.
And your strength…
After going all out and powering up to your absolute limits, sparring with Vegeta in his Primal Super Saiyan state, you find yourself still actually keeping even with him, and in fact, you even start to get the upper hand against him in pure power a couple of times. With the match over, and you returning home, you casually ask mom for a quick check on how much stronger you’ve gotten even in base. You honestly hadn’t really been paying close attention to any proper number on it, but hey, it’d be nice to see it.
And… the result shocks her and Gohan, and especially you.
50,880,000.
Sure, everyone else has kept up their training, too, but… you’ve actually, genuinely eclipsed them all. You’ve shattered what limits you had before. Mom actually tells you with a soft but proud smile on her face, “You’ve trained well, you’ve studied well, you’ve always remembered to eat and rest well. Even after everything, the Turtle School’s teachings still stand strong.”

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6245626 Which brings you to the present…
“So you’ve been able to reach the end of that chapter in your life…” Chansu, your therapist, begins as she writes down a few notes. “And are on the cusp of a new one.”
You look down at your hand, palm open, as you recline on the sofa in her office. “It almost sounds weird to say this to me, but I don’t feel much trepidation in it. Like… I’m prepared for it.” You’d kept up your appointments with Chansu through this time, making slow but steady progress. You don’t really feel that jolt of flight or fight (mostly fight) response upon seeing puddles of silvery liquid much at all anymore. And even though you still really miss dad, you feel… hopeful, confident even, that he’s still out there doing his best, thriving and surviving, and it’s only a matter of time before he’s back home.
“You know, when we started, you’d slightly hesitate and think things like this over in your head a good deal more.” she remarks, unwrapping another lollipop with her free hand. “Even for the small things. But now? You are more open to engaging with them first. On your own terms, but still showing a bit more drive to be the one to confront it.”
Turning your head, you ask, “So… you think I’m like, cured of my worries or whatever?”
She giggles, crossing her legs and leaning back. “It’s never a matter of being ‘cured.’ The trauma one experiences doesn’t just vanish into thin air like… poof!~” Chansu splays her hands out for emphasis. “It’s that you’ve been able to internalize it and grow on top of it. The you that’s laying her now has been able to accept that those things happened, and still keep going forward, still living your life the way you want to without fears of them influencing the actions you take.” She twirls her pen between her fingers, then cheekily adds, “Like you’ve… as you’ve said before, ‘broken your limits’ on it.”
You chuckle at that. “Thank you.”
…And suddenly you sense a couple strangely familiar Ki signatures right outside the door to her office, right by the waiting Baragon. Prince Beelzebub and the weasel demon Kama. There’s a slight commotion, followed by them opening up the door. “Peppa there you are! Listen we gotta-!” Beelzebub stops for a moment, staring… not at you, but your therapist.
Who actually looks mildly annoyed. She even huffs, crossing her arms. “Ah-hem.”
“...Chansu what are you doing here?” he asks, bewildered, with the weasel demon similarly gawking at her.
“I am with a patient, your highness.” She stands up, then quickly pushes the pair out the door. “Whatever your business is with her or I, it can wait until we’re done.” She closes it before Beelzebub can even get a “But-!” out, Chansu shaking her head and sighing. “Ugh, royalty.”
You blink. What. What just happened?

>D. I also have some… new anxieties I would like to share with you. >My friend Videl really wants to join law enforcement, and I think she would be great at it. She’s strong enough to where she won’t have to kill to subdue lawbreakers. Only, uh… >Well, there was this one time when I put on a superhero costume to subdue some bank robbers, and they had assault rifles, and I managed to take them out without anyone getting seriously hurt. I thought I had done a good job! >And then Launch, who’s a real close family friend, she’s a police officer too. She told me off for doing that, saying someone could have gotten hurt if I wasn’t careful. I haven’t done anything like that since. >But I kept an eye on the bankrobbers’ story. Turns out, some of them were affiliated with the Black Panda Party, or claimed to be anyhow. So when they got the book thrown at them, some of them did some sweetheart deals to rope in more members of the organization, and soon the whole organization got corralled into prison. >There was a big stink raised about the usage of assault rifles especially. Like, decades ago the Black Panda Party was an armed militia primarily consisting of furry people patrolling neighborhoods of primarily furry demographics, and they armed themselves. >Then the King Furry administration came down hard on them with bigger regulations on firearms that didn’t affect richer communities but really affected the poorer ones, where more people were arrested, shot… or both for being suspected of being armed. They also claimed that furry people used drugs to become the way they are. (Not the king though, ‘long line’ supposedly.) And as the law cracked down, the King’s approval ratings went up. >And those weren’t the only figures that went up, no, opportunistic corporations made their own killing in this as well. Mortgages were denied to the communities of minorities and that made it to where people couldn’t afford their homes… but they could scrape enough together to get a Capsule Home! >Now, this is a bit awkward for me, the people in charge of Capsule Corp are also close family friends. But their Capsule Homes break down. “Planned Obscolescence.” Sure, the roof stays solid, but the amenities go wonky. >And among those amenities is a water supply. Useful if you’re out in the wilderness, but in everyday life? It’s gonna run out, and the replenishment service is costly. And if you shelled out for the recycler model, you have until the recycler gives up the ghost and then you’re left to stew with a reservoir of your own fluids beneath your house. >Our family home, my parents ended up modding it to hell and back.

What should be part of nature has been hoarded by those in power for them to trickle down at their own discretion, and discrimination. >And I do mean Hoarded, there are warehouses full of still-capsuled homes with their water trapped inside, and do they sell those homes on the cheap?

She sighs, but gets back to her more chipper self. “Yeah that’s probably for the best. So! Did you have any other concerns or worries you’d like to bring up?”
There… might be but whatever they are they can wait too. “Um… well… whatever I do have can probably wait until next time. Besides, it did kinda sound like he needed my help. So… maybe call it a session for now, see you next month?”
“Well, if you’re sure, Peppa. Just remember though, don’t feel like such a thing comes from a place of obligation.” She winks, adding, “Now go get ‘em, kiddo!~”
Chansu opens the door, and while it’s apparent that Kama kept pulling on it, trying to open it, the weasel demon clearly was unable. He instead hangs there bewildered seeing it swung open so easily. That’s… another thing you should probably bring up next time. Beelzebub stops pacing the moment he notices the door open. “There you are! …Seriously though Chansu what are you doing here?”
“My job.” she responds curtly, then politely motioning for Baragon to come in after you. The Kaiju politely steps around you and enters, and so you’re left with the demons.
“...You wanted my help?” you ask hesitantly.
“Right! Right, right. Okay. Kama! The picture.” he requests.
The weasel demon lets go of the door handle and pulls out a picture of… uh. Well. “…I don’t think you came here to show me a nightclub. I mean it looks nice and all but…”
Beelzebub facepalms, with the weasel demon suddenly exceptionally embarrassed and hurriedly pulling out another photograph. Oh. That’s a bit more alarming. That looks like one of the shards Towa and Fu launched at everyone. Not as big, but certainly similar to the others. It… also looks like a Dragon Ball is inside it?!
“We gotta get to the bottom of this. You up for it?” Beelzebub asks

>>6246012 “Okay first thing’s first, mind if I take a picture of that?” you ask, getting your goggles out and readying them.
“Go for it.” Beelzebub affirms.
“I also think I’d like to hear some details on this first. Especially this is something that could easily be a trap set by the ol’ bucket demon after all, so there’s a chance of it not being legit…” You send the picture to a few people, mom and Pantea and Bulma first of all, giving a quick explanation of it to get it analyzed. “It’s good to go at this with a solid plan, after all. Plus might not hurt to have some backup.”
He nods. “Okay, so, this was found in the Third Demon Realm, off in a relatively obscure part of the areas near the Sea of Darkness. Now this WAS something we found while investigating Ozotto sightings, but something like this, specifically? A bit outside the norm for him. It COULD be linked to whatever Towa is doing, maybe it’s them trying to experiment with that technique again in order to perfect it or something, or just better control it, or…”
“It could even be something Ozotto is trying to scheme with behind their backs.” Kama brings up.
“All valid points…” You sigh, rubbing your head. “Okay, real quick, let me gather up some allies, we should strike while the iron’s hot.” You pass this info along to the others analyzing the picture. Even as you look at it and wait for some responses, you note that it seems… at least not obviously faked, the shard there is exactly like the ones you saw a few months prior. The Dragon Ball inside it does look like the real deal… though it is also off in color, a deep red instead of any sort of normal orange.
Mom gets back to you first. ‘That’s definitely one of the Dragon Balls we saw in Null’s universe, where we found Shin. Damn it, why now? Eagalia asked for some help looking into sightings of one of her people on Namek, and from the sound of things Mark, 19, and 16 were able to make a bit of a breakthrough with getting some answers from Gero… plus Raditz is off with the Galactic Patrol on a mission today…’
‘What about uncle Acer, or aunt Chi-chi?’
‘Brobro’s training Monty currently, and Chi-chi’s with her father, and Pilaf and his entourage, and a few others meeting King Furry.’ mom explains.
Sounds like they might be out of any potential infiltration. Could convince uncle Acer to come with, but that’s probably gonna be a harder sell. ‘Chuu Lee, Lapis, Lazuli, Krillin, Piccolo?’
‘Just checked. Available, from the sound of things.’

“Smaller like, how?”
He waves his hand. “Eh, five, six max, maybe less, you know. If this IS something that Towa or Ozotto are interested in, it’s better we not try to draw too much immediate attention. Though tough enough to throw down if needed.”
Five or six at most… well, you’ve got a few you know will be willing to jump at the call at a moment’s notice…

>>6246549 I don't mind. The last one I'll allow on the basis of "let's see what it's like work with these people" but how you'll justify here and now it is beyond me.
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6246110 So, first thing’s first, your brother and cousin. The two of them have plenty of strength and skill, and can serve as some of the best backup you can ask for. Keli is an obvious next pick, she’s plenty strong herself, and she’d be able to handle things pretty well (plus she’d appreciate seeing Melee again). Basilea might be someone Towa and Ozotto would notice pretty quickly, but she’s also someone they’d have their focus on, plus she’s able to hold her own in a fight, a good ally that can both back you up and distract them. And then there’s Piccolo, who’s got strength, skill, experience, and overall just a lot that he can bring to the table. Plus he has one of the most useful techniques out of everyone, so it’d be good to have him around.
…But you also feel like you need just a little something extra. Something… like another wild card. Something Towa and Ozotto and all those working with them wouldn’t expect. You think over the places you’ve been recently, people you’ve met, and- …wait. Waiiiiit. You’ve got it!
“Prince Beelzebub, I believe I have a team. We’ll meet up near my place first to make sure everyone’s on the same page, and then head on over.”
“All right, let’s make this quick.”
And so, after sending out the call to this team, and asking mom for just a little help requesting one further ally, you all gather just outside your home. Gohan calls out to Buu, requesting, “Hold the fort, little buddy! You and Groucho are in charge of keeping things secure while we’re out.”
“Buu do just that!” the little Majin declares with a salute, the tiger yawning at the both of you but giving a positive response.
“Your gang all good, Izzy?” you question your cousin.
She nods. “The Para Para bros are watching over Darutanias while Cheelai’s off helping Capsule Corp.”
Piccolo crosses his arms, stating, “He’s been relatively harmless these last few months, sequestered himself in a little Capsule house with basic amenities but he’s been kept clear away from any criminal groups.”
“A fool like that doesn’t give up that easily.” Basilea grumbles. “But keeping him under watch should at least ensure he stays out of trouble.”
“You got your team of five.” Beelzebub comments, hands on his hips as he looks over everyone. “We good to go?”
“Not quite.” you wait for a moment, and then teleports in mom… with a rather large robot raptor beside her, which catches a few of your friends and allies by surprise. “That’s our plus one.”
“WOAH! BADASS!” Beelzebub exclaims enthusiastically, then quickly composes himself. “Ahem. I mean, that’s a new face.”
“Nice to meet you again, Rozriz.” you say politely to her. “Mom fill you in on the situation?”

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6246595 “Got the gist. You need a tracker, I’m your woman.” she responds. Beelzebub again shows almost childlike glee, with even Gohan decently surprised, Izzy looking at her with enthusiastic curiosity. “Good luck, Maple.”
“Same to you.” she replies, then looks to you, Gohan, and Izzy proudly, and finally all the rest of you. “All of you. Stay safe out there.”
You give her a thumb’s up, and she returns it. The team set, you’re all brought to the Demon Realm once more. Arriving in a small settlement, at a… nightclub by the look of things, the one from that other photograph. It also looks like it’s decently empty, probably closed at this time. A demon janitor gives Beelzebub a wave, who returns it. Piccolo is the one that gets things started first. “You know the location, right?”
“I do. It’s not been long since we spotted that, but it also isn’t something we’ve been able to really investigate more clearly. Be aware, it’s still some distance from the castle though.” he explains. “This is the closest settlement to it.”
Izzy approaches one of the closed windows, peeking through the shades and noting, “A few people around. Should we get some disguises?”

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6246599 “A good idea. Let’s Clothes Beam up some proper disguises, enough to at least look less like ourselves.” you suggest, doing just that. You can’t fool everyone into thinking you’re ACTUAL locals but you can, at the very least, make it look like you’re the kinds of people that fit in well enough to not draw too much attention. Plus some cloaks and masks could help, Basilea even getting her proper Devil Mask disguise out again. Keli helps sell it a bit by trying to emphasize her shared Ki with Melee, so she even feels a bit more like a demon to those around… which Beelzebub casually notes her that while helpful, very few demons in the area can actually sense Ki all that well.
Which… leads you all to the elephant, er, raptor in the room. “So like… do you want some kind of coat or parade float disguise or…?” Izzy questions Rozriz.
“No need.” she declares… activating an actual cloaking feature. Oh, useful! Hey you notice that even her Ki is hard to sense now too. “I’m ready if you all are.”
“You have the picture, right? You take the lead, and we’ll follow after you from a distance.” A small beep comes from your goggles, and as you check them, you see that she’s sending quick broadcasts of her location. Sounds like you’re all good.
Time to begin.
Gohan opens the door and heads out, with Izzy following behind him, then Piccolo and Keli. You and Basilea trail behind a bit, with Rozriz already moving out swiftly. You honestly almost don’t even notice her movements as she moves past. Moving through the city, with the morning light of dawn peeking through it, you see several demons just going about their day, opening up shops, begrudgingly heading to work, some taking some spacecraft out to other places, while a few more look like they’re up to noticeably more shady business.
However, there also seems to be a security force on patrol, purple demons with flat faces in red cloaks and white armor, a red and black symbol on their armor’s chests. One civilian glares at them, but quickly tries to hide his face as they take notice of him. Izzy and Gohan end up stopped by them, with them asking the latter why he’s wearing the outfit of a “Glind.” Your brother just turns to them and grunts out that he was hired to take care of a problematic monster that’s been pestering the Demon King’s supply shipments with his ally beside him. Izzy then makes a few dramatic poses, then cackles with as much a malicious tone as she can muster. Gohan emphasizes his point that if they would rather finally handle the job themselves, he’d be glad to go right back to King Dabura with the lead officer’s name, promising (threatening) to try to get him a recommendation for a job well done.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6246677 https://youtu.be/-JtbyUyHmns?si=w90UA-ZFnpwzQv5A The soldiers steadily ease back, nervously wishing the pair good luck and continuing on with their patrols. Keli passes along without issue, while Piccolo avoids them by moving via the rooftops. You and Basilea almost pass by without much consideration, though one stops, calling back, “Hey you! Kid!” You pause and turn your masked face back toward the soldier that called out to you. “I remember you!” he calls out, grumpily marching over to you. “Oh don’t act like that mask is fooling anyone.”
Your muscles tense slightly as you try to recall if you HAVE seen the guy before. You… don’t. “Pardon?” you ask, doing your best to mask your voice.
“You’re that brat that dined and dashed and tried to have us foot the bill! I remember your ugly stench!” He holds his staff forward. “All right, you’re paying up!”
…What? Not once in your few trips to the Demon Realm have you ever done such a thing. And what does he mean stench?! You put on a nice perfume today, damn it! He doesn’t even have a proper nose! You cross your arms, huffing. “Sir you have me confused with someone else.”
“Cucaracha what’s the hold up?” another member of the group demands.
“It’s that dine and dash kid! I remember her! See-!” He makes to grab the top of your hood, only for you to bat his hand away, backing up. “HEY!”
“I’m going to say this again. You have me confused with someone else.” you declare firmly.
“Oh you are not getting away this time you little-!” Before he can try to rush you, his ally holds him back by the shoulder. “What’s the big deal, Barata?!”
He sighs and actually almost politely requests, “Kid, lower the hood, please. You too, lady.”
You give Basilea a look, and she shrugs and does it first. Not enough to make it obvious who she is, but enough that they can see her horns and hair. You do the same, just showing that much… which gets the first demon to ease up. “…Oh.”
“See? Black hair, no horns, it’s not that girl.” the second demon remarks… then slapping the first upside the head. “Dumbass, stop wasting time on every wild hunch you have. Move along, civilians, and make sure your dues are paid.”

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6246678 You raise up your hood again and just nod, walking off with Basilea. “Okay what the hell was that about?” you ask her in a quiet voice.
“I have few answers. Maybe you just hit the right profile and the overly eager goon wanted his chump change back.” she replies. Basilea glances down at you again though, letting out a soft, “Hrmn…”
“What? …Is it the perfume?” Ugh, you try a new brand once and demons start complaining about-
“I don’t think that’s what he meant by ‘stench.’ While few are gifted with the ability to sense energy, fewer still even bothering to hone it, it’s not unheard of to find some rare individuals with a very vague grasp on the ability. Usually noting it through other senses, like sound, or smell…” She rubs her chin. “Perhaps another mortal was responsible? But horns and a different hair color…”
“...Huh. Okay that is a bit weird.” Your goggles ping. “Gonna file that away for later. Rozriz is on the move.”
You all end up exiting the city limits, continuing on a path for a short while as you start to head toward a wide, dark chasm in the distance. Finally far enough that everyone can start to pick up speed, you do your best to move quickly even in the thick, dense, and kinda stinky air. You and Basilea have to duck out of the way of another patrol, heading into a cave for a brief time. Loud footsteps echo through it as you wait out the patrol, with you noticing a… fairly weak power approaching, turning to see a minotaur-like demon snarling down at you.
“You who dare enter my lair, do you have any idea who-?!”
“Shhhh!” you shush it nonchalantly.
The minotaur blinks. “Do… do you dare?! I will have you-!”
You leap up, grab the monster by the horn. The minotaur struggles against your grip fruitlessly, and you then force it to look at the soldiers outside. “Either you keep quiet, or they find you. Do you want that?”
It gulps, either frightened upon realizing you’re significantly stronger than it, or by the presence of the demon realm soldiers in the area. Or perhaps both. Both is likely. Weakly, the monster meeps out a “Yes’m.”
“You’re lucky she got to you first.” Basilea threatens. “I would have knocked you unconscious and thrown you at them as a distraction.” That gets the monster to whimper.
(cont.)
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6246679 The army finally passes, and you let the minotaur go, with it hurriedly heading deeper into its cave. Finally you reach an odd, almost forested area as you trail the robot raptor lady, with her finally telling you all, “Found the spot where the photo was taken.”
“Is the shard still present?”
“Negative, though there’s sign of something left in its place.” She sends visual of several more soldiers, both of the kind you just met and the ones that were at Majin Ozotto’s palace, several ships around, with a section of the area cordoned off and guarded. In the exact spot where the shard was, there… looks like there’s some person being kept in a containment field of some kind. Can’t make out the shape exactly. But… you swear you get a strange sense of familiarity as you look at the person.
You all regroup at the cliff overlooking the area. Piccolo tries to listen in carefully, remarking, “They are working with Ozotto, trying to keep whatever is in there in check before he arrives.”
“Any sign of the Dragon Ball?” you question.
He shakes his head. “No, but I think they’ve just secured it for the time being. So it likely is still in the area.”
“I’ll keep up the search.” Rozriz declares.
Hmm… what to do now?

>>6246680 “Getting the Dragon Ball might still be the main priority then. Basilea, you and I can provide a distraction, right?”
“We can.” she confirms.
“Then let’s leave tracking the Dragon Ball to our resident tracker, and whoever she thinks can best assist.” you suggest.
“I can help if you’d like.” Keli tells the raptor robot lady.
“Oh, here! Dad had a spare.” Izzy tosses Keli a spare Scouter. “Radar function’s built in. Just in case.” She nods and attaches it to her face.
“There’s also the matter of whoever is in that containment field.” Piccolo notes.
“Hmm... hey Izzy, think you can pull the ol’ Glitter Goat switcheroo?”
“Can I? HAH!” She cracks her knuckles. “I’ll be in and out of there before they can even notice.”
“Also please be careful, whoever is in that feels… familiar, somehow. And I don’t know if that’s a good sign or a bad sign. Maaaaaybe double-check first.” you suggest.
“Got it. I’ll keep watch then.” your brother adds.
You pump your fist in the air. “Then let’s do this!” Now, how are you gonna handle something like this…? Oh, oh you know just the thing. You send a mental message to Basilea with your plan, then place two fingers on your forehead and lock on to the energy of one of the soldiers furthest away from the group. He yawns, bored out of his mind, when you tap him on the shoulder.
“Yeah yeah I know, no sleeping on the job-” His head turns, but before he can call out in surprise, you’ve both hidden a Ki mine under his feet and grabbed him by the collar of his armor, teleporting back to Basilea with him. She delivers a quick gut punch to knock him out, with the demon falling down. You grab another, repeating the process a few more times, Basilea getting more creative with her methods of rendering them unconscious each time. A chop to the neck, a headbutt, a suplex, a clothesline, an elbow drop, a full on Impaler DDT, she even hits one of them with the unconscious body of their comrades.
You both end up with a good dozen of them before she asks, “Think that’s enough for the start of a proper distraction?”
A soft boom can be heard in the distance as one of your Ki mines go off. They’re not especially powerful, but just enough to send one of these goons flying. You smirk. “I think that is.”

>>6247105 https://youtu.be/1pp05HNLlTw?si=ZXi4rghsZgFa5eZx Both of you dash closer to the group of soldiers, a full on panic set in as they scramble, trying to find who’s responsible for this. Basilea marches forward, and with a villainous laugh she’s clearly been holding back for some time, she boasts out, “HAHAHAHA! You deluded FOOLS!”
“Enemy spotted!” one of the better armored Demon Realm soldiers declares, firing a Ki blast at her.
“WEAK!” she swats it aside like it was nothing. Basilea then flies in and swats him down, baiting more to try to come after her. “Can the oh so great Supreme Demon King only afford such PATHETIC minions to guard his valuables?!”
“I will destroy you!” a one with fancier, silver armor declares, trying to hit her with… rocks? Oh hey telekinesis.
Basilea dodges with ease, hitting her with a backhand that knocks her a good 20 meters into the air. “When I have whatever you fools are guarding, I will be one step closer to toppling the bastard at the throne and MAKING IT MY OWN! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
…You are pretty sure she’s acting but boy does it also sound like she’s venting some frustration out on them, too. Well, you can’t just stand there and look cute. You jump into the fray as well, teleporting around and taking potshots at a few dozen more. That only adds to the chaos, as more and more soldiers try to stop the two of you.
“ENEMIES EVERYWHERE!”
“Go go go!”
You both bait some into thinking they’ve surrounded you and Basilea, the two of you back to back. That’s when you get good news, bad news, and… unexpected news.
“Son Peppa, we have located the Dragon Ball.” Rozriz informs you. The good.
‘SIS OZOTTO’S ON HIS WAY!’ Gohan warns you. The bad.
‘Heeeey so… whoever this is, it is absolutely a Saiyan. We can’t quite make out who, there’s a mask over his face and most of his body is shrouded in eerie energy… it doesn’t exactly feel bad or evil or anything though, just… way more raw, primal, almost. Aaaaalso the containment field seems to be running through a Hakkero. Or at least one is interacting with it in some way that’s keeping it strengthened.’ Izzy explains to you. The unexpected.
‘Mission accomplished then, everyone get out of-!’

>>6247106 Majin Ozotto appears somewhere in the camp, his power skyrocketing upward. Keli powers up as well, declaring. ‘I’ll hold him off for a bit! Get some distance!’ There’s a brief struggle… but one that ends with Keli getting flung high into the sky and then sent rocketing back down to the ground, landing a good 30 or so meters away from you and Basilea.
“Where is it?! Where is that machine you wretched mortal?!” a voice roars out as Ozotto follows after her, but he stops. The Majin floats up and over the soldiers, taking notice of the two of you. For a brief moment he… actually almost looks CONFUSED, but then his three eyes narrow, a twitch going through them. “Ah. Of course. I expected a repeat of your nonsense, but your reaction time was quicker than anticipated.”
“Yeah well maybe you’re just slow. Thanks though, we were looking for an opportunity to thwart your plans again. It’s fun seeing you fumble.” you snark at him.
Majin Ozotto tilts his head, then looks down at one of the soldiers that have surrounded you. He points at that one and demands, lifting him up telekinetically, “You. Check the Saiyan.” He then sends the soldier flying back toward where the captured individual was, screaming all the way.
A pause comes over the area as Keli picks herself up, shaking off the attack she took, then taking a fighting stance again. And… there’s a sparkly detonation in the distance as a rather big glitter bomb goes off. “OH MY LORD WHO EVEN HAS THAT MUCH GLITTER?!”
Ozotto sighs and rubs his head. “Of course. THAT one is here too. And let me guess, your silver medalist of a brother is out there somewhere too, lurking and waiting for an opportunity to try and act tough again.”
‘Oh I am going to SO kick his ass for that.’ Gohan tells you telepathically.

>>6247107 ‘Gohan sense the Ki in whatever that is, let us know if there’s anything familiar and what kind of familiar it is. Broly, Yazai, Vegeta with his Primal Super Saiyan state, what have you.’ You motion for Keli to get in close. “Well… we got what we came here for, so… LATER LOSER! BLEEEEHHH!” you stick your tongue out and place your fingers on your forehead as Basilea and Keli grab on to your arms.
And Majin Ozotto grabs you by the face, right as you Instant Transmission away to Gohan.
Ow.
You appear right before your brother, with Ozotto swiftly pulling you away from Basilea and Keli, slamming you into the ground even as you try to transform and push him off. “No. Not this time.” he declares, blocking an attack from Gohan as he tries to get you free. “I think I should reassess things. Gohan may be silver, but you’re clearly the bronze.”
“J-jackass...!” you growl out.
“MAKAIO-KEN!” Keli roars, with a dark aura surrounding Basilea too, the two of them attempting to fend off Ozotto. He still refuses to let you go, slamming you around even as you try to force him off of you.
“Peppa, Gohan, we got- OH SHIT!” Izzy swears as she and Piccolo notice Majin Ozotto trying to ragdoll you. And Piccolo has the thing holding the Saiyan inside a containment field.
Majin Ozotto notices her… and grins maliciously. He holds his hand out, a dark aura surrounding it. You… then feel a pulse of a vision of something. It’s… Vegeta, and dad, fighting… a Broly? But there’s something different about him. Crap, is it Broly in there?!
You’re about to get your answer soon, as the field fails, the Hakkero on the bottom of it popping off and starting to fly toward Majin Ozotto. Izzy thinks fast, grabbing it and transforming into her Mahou form, bringing out her own Hakkero and clapping them together. Ozotto’s hold on it falters, and he grumbles out in annoyance, “So it’s the little Mahou that thinks she’s the gold medalist.”
Gohan takes a step back, finally able to properly sense the person inside it. “…No, it couldn’t be. It… no… Everyone, step away!” he calls out. Power explodes out from where the barrier once was.
They do as he asks, though they also rush Ozotto, with Gohan, using his full strength to land a significant hit on him. Keli lassos his tail before he can let out an energy attack from it, with Basilea hitting him right in the mouth with a Hell Blitz. He coughs and lets you go, Izzy catching you and flying you away, setting you down. Piccolo, his Kaio-ken aura blazing around him, then traps Ozotto in the middle of a few hundred Ki blasts, with all of them converging on him and smothering him with energy.
Everyone regroups and takes a fighting stance, your blurred senses returning. “Gohan… what did you sense?”
“It… it can’t be…” he babbles in almost denial. You… you almost swear you see the symbol for
“HEAVEN” in the clouds.

>>6247178 https://youtu.be/nE5Ujj5ZAtc?si=sl9XCfbiw84Ks0uX Ozotto forces away the smoke from the barrage of blasts by flaring out his aura, but as he stares you all down… a bolt of lightning hits the ground. The realm quakes with power, and he looks back at the figure… then grins maliciously as his third eye turns to face all of you. Now… you can get a proper look at this person, and you know why your brother could barely believe it. An outfit of blue and orange, though not quite the one you’ve seen before. Lower legs wrapped in tight white cloth, blue pants, and a ripped and torn blue and orange gi. The mask obscures his face… but you would recognize that hair anywhere.
“...Dad?” you breathe out hesitantly.
A roar begins. The mask then glows bright orange, the scarred chest glowing like a tree on fire, hands taking on almost claw-like shapes, you even notice some glowing fur on his wrists, his tail lashing and taking on that same glow. The mask then breaks with an eruption of flame, flame that seems to engulf the man’s skull, and when they subside they leave his face pitch black, his hair a familiar golden color, but flowing like an inferno, eyes glowing as fangs are bared.
And then his already substantial boost in power only increases further and further, a swirl of black and gold surrounding him, as if a primal light and a corrupting, chaotic force are clashing to take control, only forcing yet more power into him.
Majin Ozotto steps away, smugly proclaiming, “Oh my apologies… I should probably introduce our friend here. He’s a curious one, isn’t he? I hear in some parts, he’s called…
a savior from heaven. Son Goku. ”

I'm already thinking up ways to use Gohan's and Izumi's powers to their very limit while having to dig deeper for new last minute tricks, and meanwhile Peppa and the others have to deal with this "Emberly" Goku. Power Pole and Namekian Regeneration are really gonna come in clinch here, though it would be metagaming to go into the fight with that on the mind. As for Ozotto, I have a ploy to use on him, but that will be for the very end, ahahaha! Don't wanna count my chickens before they hatch, but it involves the most diabolical weapon of all so far as someone like Ozotto is concerned!

“Me?” he scoffs. “All I did was care for a lost little monkey man. But since you all seem so set on him running free… well, why not help you along with that?” He maliciously chuckles.
The… Goku lets out another roar, taking notice of you all. His face twitches, and in a burst of speed that even you find hard to keep track of… his foot lands solidly on the Majin’s face, even to his surprise. He stumbles back, Goku’s twisted face grinning.
“...I-is he on our side?” Izzy asks hopefully.
Piccolo narrows his eyes. “No. Not in the slightest.”
Goku’s own eyes lock on to him, and you almost get the impression he recognizes Piccolo to some degree. His blazing, chaotic aura surges. He’s itching for a fight, and doesn’t seem to care for who or what he’s fighting against. You all ready yourselves. This isn’t going to be easy.

>>6247603 Goku launches forward, and Piccolo is quick to block his attack, though he feels the full force of it readily, and even with his Kaio-ken x20 active, he’s still being pushed back. The blazing Saiyan swiftly dodges a swipe and an attempt to hit him with Water Magic, landing a powerful punch to Piccolo’s back. Piccolo attempts to grapple Goku, only for him to grab the Namekian’s arm by the wrist and let out a stream of flaming Ki from his mouth, blasting Piccolo’s arm off and burning it to bits, then kicking Piccolo far into a mountain nearby.
Ozotto attempts to use this brief distraction to move away, apparently content to just let you all fight it out, only for Goku to appear behind him with blistering speeds and grab him by both horns, sending the Majin into a tree where he remains stuck there for a moment. Goku… then laughs, in a manner that almost might sound good-natured if not for the almost demonic, monstrous voice he has.
https://youtu.be/XIyXgk-V62c?si=STP48sCSPUPrKcVX Need to make this quick. “Izzy, the Hakkero, it’s a… spiritual furnace of sorts, right? I think mom said something about there being residual spirits or the like in there…”
“Vastly oversimplifying but sure.” she responds. “Why do you ask?”
“...I need to know if this is the real deal, or if this just residue, a life burnt away.” You struggle to voice the thought as you clarify, “…If this is dad in danger, in pain, or if he’s already gone. I’ll give you the time to check.”
“S-sis?” Gohan stammers. “Wait what are you…?”
You start to march forward, your Super Saiyan aura surging and sparking up, until finally you’ve transformed fully into Super Saiyan 3, the ground beneath you trembling as you do. That catches his attention. That energy… that fire around him. That doesn’t look good. You bring out your Power Pole, that’ll be better to hold him off with. Goku recognizes it as well, tilting his head curiously, though his whole body twitches with power.
…
Well, might as well start this off properly. “Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong.” you declare, using the right hand gestures and everything.
Goku pauses, blinks… and retakes a fighting stance. “STRONG…” he declares… in a voice that you can almost recognize as your dad’s underneath it all.
You take a defensive stance with the Power Pole, and with a cheeky grin, you declare, “The Tuffest.”
He rockets toward you, and after you manage to step out of the way of an incredibly fast kick, with it just barely grazing you, you remember one of the first times dad let you properly try training with the Power Pole. You bonked him on the head almost immediately. You try that with the blazing Saiyan, though he avoids the strike easily. You remember when dad did the same, upon a second attempt, giving you a playful tousle of your hair.

>>6247758 This Goku instead smashes your head into the dirt, with you landing so hard your body bounces against the ground.
“PEPPA!” Gohan yells out, powering up as well, then trying to rush to your aid. Goku avoids him with surprising ease, even as his focus was on you, as if he could tell through instinct alone how to avoid your brother’s attack. A swift elbow strike to his gut, followed by a dashing kick that sends your brother flying at Majin Ozotto, who finally got his horns out of the tree. The demon is knocked right to the ground upon the collision, with him groaning in annoyance.
Goku snickers again, but as you stand back up, Power Pole still in hand, he smiles wildly. And… the blazing aura around him condenses into his hand, with him then bringing both hands together. Goku pulls them apart… and conjures up a FLAMING POWER POLE of his own. Shit that’d be so cool if… this were any less serious an encounter! The both of you clash, blow after blow, and while you might be within the same ballpark as him in terms of power at the moment, his sheer speed is ridiculous. Goku finishes a combo you can’t even truly parry properly by stabbing the flaming staff into the ground to avoid an extended Power Pole strike, spinning around it and landing a kick to your face that sends you flying backward.
Basilea and Keli jump in next, both of them trying to restrain Goku before he can follow up, Keli with her Ki lasso and Basilea with the Devilmite Chains, to your surprise. Except the blazing Saiyan avoids both of them with ease, and even Basilea’s attempt to put barriers around him only end up with her getting knocked in the face with his Flaming Power Pole, which then extends and hits Keli in the gut, sending both women into the trees, toppling over several of them.
The blazing Saiyan rushes at you again, but this time you feel just a bit better prepared, stopping his attempt to hit you with his Flaming Power Pole with your own, THIS time actually managing to give him a good thwack on the head. And… he smiles in excitement, twirling his weapon around as you do the same with yours.
“Peppa, he’s very much still alive!” Izzy finally tells you. “But whatever happened to him, it’s going to drain his life force fast!” She looks down at the second Hakkero, and you notice she’s trying to suppress an energy coming off of it.
Goku looks at her and… sniffs the air. Again he gives a confused expression for a moment… and disengages you to dash closer to your cousin, nearly catching her by surprise, about to strike her. Izzy though very quickly brings out the Mahou Knight, her mech surrounding her and forcing him to step back. Goku grins once more, ready for what he clearly thinks is another fun new foe.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6247759 Only for you remind him, “HEY, GOKU! WE’RE NOT DONE YET!” This time you infuse the Power Pole with Wind Magic, swinging it around with enough force that it rattles the trees around you all. Goku blocks it, but it does take more effort than the prior attempts. You go for several more strikes, until finally you actually manage to snap the flaming staff in his hands, forcing Goku back.
You take a moment to catch your breath. “Izzy, what do you mean it’s draining his life force?”
“I mean whatever… THAT form is, it’s already something that’s taxing his body. But the Hakkero he was confined in? It’s been trying to siphon out that power… and failing. All it did was amplify it, react with it.” she explains, her mech stepping away a bit. “Peppa he might end up burning himself out, literally, if we don’t stop him somehow!”

>>6247762 https://youtu.be/RvkgGHgHkmc?si=R6FJehIRbHj0qlA_ “It might not be a matter of stopping him… I think we need to remove that energy from him, completely!” you declare, your aura surging up around you once more. “Keli! Basilea! Gohan! You guys are still alive, right?!” you both shout out and telepathically send out.
Your brother picks himself up first, getting off of Majin Ozotto, who nearly stabs at your brother with his tail. “I’m plenty alive, promise! In spite of Bozotto’s best efforts!”
“Leave the taunts to your betters, silver medalist.” he retorts.
The other two start closing in, Keli responding, “Hurt like hell but I’ll live.”
“This Goku is even stronger than he seems… you have a plan, right?” the demon princess questions.
“I do.” After sending her telepathic instructions, you tap your goggles as Goku takes a fighting stance, ready to get back into the thick of things. “Rozriz, I’m gonna need your help! Please! Get the Dragon Ball to someone and work with Basilea, she’ll know what to do.”
“Understood. I’ll be there shortly.”
“I’ll do what I can with the Hakkero.” Izzy informs you.
Gohan starts to head over to you, but you again notice Majin Ozotto backing away. So, you taunt out, “Ozotto! For all your talk of medals, at least WE qualify, Mr. Participation Trophy!”
His eyes twitch. “Still quite the mouth on you, Son Peppa. Don’t think your baiting will work-” Goku again appears in front of him, but this time Ozotto’s ready, blocking the blazing Saiyan’s surprise attack of an attempted kick to the head. “Nice try, but I’ve been able to adapt to-AGH MY EYE!” One of the broken pieces of the Flaming Power Pole is thrown into the Majin’s eye, with him stepping back and yelling out in pain. The other ends up in his open mouth, with him coughing out fire as Goku flips back, laughing at him.
(cont.)
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6247874 You even let out a little chuckle yourself. “You know… this is a fun fight, gotta admit.”
Izzy scoffs. “You truly are your father’s daughter…”
https://youtu.be/zE6Eu8fyk90?si=DPdDsLf-pgYkMio5 “What? It’s true. This is fun.” you reaffirm. Goku turns to face you, grinning in agreement, the two of you staring one another down once more. “But I need to end this, for our sake, and for yours. Besides, I know you want more. So I’m gonna give it EVERYTHING I’VE GOT!” You break the limits of Super Saiyan 3, your aura surging and flaring around you. You need to make physical contact for this to work, so you can’t afford to hold anything back. You telepathically check if everyone’s good on the plan, and with assurances that they are, you show that you’re ready.
The blazing Saiyan responds in kind, erupting like an inferno, the nearby trees singed from the power radiating off of him. The both of you clash once more, you blocking his strikes with the Power Pole, and countering with quick jabs of Forced Spirit Fission. He doesn’t seem to have expected that, but he doesn’t relent, pushing harder, still genuinely keeping even with you. In fact, even as you pull energy out of his body, he only seems to get more focused, using his already immense strength and speed more skillfully than before.
A lasso grabs his tail, with Keli using Forced Spirit Fission through it to help you along, and even as he lashes it around she manages to hold on, adding to your initial efforts. Gohan starts to perform exorcism on Goku, taking the energy that was pulled out already and using that as a focus to pull yet more out. “How much more do you figure he has?!” your brother asks.
“I’d say… half at most!” Izzy informs you all.
“ONLY HALF?!” Gohan exclaims.
You land a Rasenken on him after blocking an attempt to grab your arm with his tail via Power Pole, pulling out just that bit more. He actually stumbles for a moment, yet he looks at you all with… at least a degree more awareness. Yet it’s not enough, even with the primal light around him starting to win out, the corruptive chaos is trying all the harder to assert itself. Goku roars, and for a brief moment, you feel a flash of power surge through you, almost… invigorating you. Gohan feels it too, surprised by it, the both of you getting flashes of power… and a brief vision of something that looks like Vegeta’s Primal Super Saiyan…? No… something beyond even that…
(cont.)
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6247875 The blazing Saiyan runs across the ground like a wild beast, taking advantage of the distraction that eruption of power caused, landing several solid hits on your brother, then looping right back around to you, finishing with a Ki blast that seems to take the form of a dragon’s head, clamping down around you and sending you to the ground. Keli and Izzy manage to get out of the way of his rampaging attacks, and in the distance you spot Piccolo holding Ozotto back from taking any pot shots at any of you.
Goku finishes this by holding out his hands, forming two flaming spheres in his palms as his aura again surges into them. “SA… MAA… DHI…!” He brings both hands up and over his head, combining the spheres into one massive, flaming orb. “FIIIIIRRREEEEE!” He sends it down at all of you, with Izzy stepping in to hold it off, using as much of her Magic as she can muster to keep it in check.
But with him completely distracted, Basilea and Rozriz strike. “DEVILMITE CHAINS!” the demon princess yells, surprisingly with some new armor around her body, managing to hold him in place for a moment. The raptor robot lady changes into her humanoid form and grapples him, some of her armor missing, using her knives to try to restrain his arms. It works… but just for that moment, as Goku lets out a blast of flame from his mouth that blows back, with the attack getting Rozriz in the face. Goku then struggles against the restraints, and instead of letting them continut to hold him back, he builds up energy in his legs and literally kicks Ki blasts at Basilea, forcing her back.
You though form a Ki Drill, and using all your strength, launch up at the flaming sphere, using the Fission Drill to draw the attack’s power into it. Once you have that power drawn in, doing your best to hold all that immense power in check, you stand on the shoulder of Izzy’s mech. “…Peppa. Fastball Special?” she asks.
“Fastball Special.” you confirm with a grin.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6247877 https://youtu.be/zTLPs0NyQR4?si=QUTWFQZjyWRG-jy9 Goku turns to face you again, finally showing a hint of exhaustion. And yet… he seems all the more excited, and he brings his hands together in an oh so familiar pose. “KAAAAA…” Bringing them back, he continues, “MEEEE…”
“NOW!” you yell, Izzy launching you at the blazing Saiyan. “SPIIIIIRRRAAAAALLLL…!”
“HAAA… MEEEE…!”
“BRRRREEEEAAAAAAKKEEEERRRRRR!!!”
“HAAAAAAAAAA!!!”
The oh so familiar blue beam, now enhanced with a flaming power beyond anything you had seen before, launches down at you, with your Ki Drill meeting it, using all that added power from Goku’s previous attack to push back. Bit by bit, your attack starts to push forward, the clash of power shaking the whole realm. Goku lets out even more power, somehow, but you you won’t give up! You are Son Peppa! You are the Earth’s Champion! You will keep pushing forward! And YOU WILL BREAK YOUR LIMITS! With the roar of an Oozaru, you let out a primal, “RRRRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!”
You push through Goku’s Kamehameha, reaching him… and with your free hand, hitting him in the chest as hard as you can. Hard enough that it serves as just what you need for you and everyone else to pull the last bits of corruptive power out of him. And… you also feel almost like you get just a glimpse, a taste, a hint of what that primal power he’s using really feels like. Goku starts to fall down to the ground, with you holding your Ki drill up triumphantly, letting it release that energy as one final explosive show of power.
“I KNOW YOU’RE WATCHING, TOWA! DON’T YOU OR ANY OF YOUR CRONIES DARE TRY A STUNT LIKE THAT AGAIN, OR ELSE I WILL FIND YOU AND I WILL MAKE! YOU! PAY!” you proclaim defiantly, your own energy finally spent. You fall through the air slowly, finding yourself caught by Basilea. She actually smiles at you, then looks up, as if to silently declare she shares the same sentiments.
The two of you land, and you see Gohan with the scarred body of da- …of this Goku, the man unconscious, but with a proud smile on his face. Some distance away, Piccolo stands in the way of Majin Ozotto, keeping him from continuing any struggle against you. There’s a tense moment of standoff… that’s broken by a familiar voice.

>>6247889 I'll admit I was also looking forward to a real gauntlet here, but hey there was a time limit to the fight, and with it now taken care of, a window's opened up!
So Fu has really hurt us with his following orders. He hurt Peppa, he hurt Maple, he hurt Goku. But Gohan forgave him, and he didn't share that he did that with anyone else. So when Peppa confronts Fu for his part in all this, Gohan could try to play devil's advocate on Fu's behalf and say he forgave Fu already, and Peppa would ask her brother, "Why?" and he would have to defend himself, and then she would confront him about all the things he's taken on by himself without talking it through with her and not seeing her as reliable when really she worries about him and would back him up on a lot of things if he trusted her.

Fights like these happen at the end of Yugioh series, after the big bad has been vanquished. A battle with the rival happens, and the stakes are low to everyone But the two dueling against each other. No, the duel between those two will settle every score laid out prior, it's the culmination of the two's journeys! At least for now, anyway.
I think a sibling fight would be a good note to end things on, a disagreement that gets smoothed out the more they talk and then becomes about not holding back and seeing how far the other has come, and wanting to meet them with your best and making the trust between you rock solid.
Sure, could come off as forced, but sometimes things need a little push to get rolling. Anyway, if it's not something you want to pursue, let me know and I'll stop, I owe you that much.

Thank you all for those kind words, I'm glad y'all had fun. I will say this, the fight absolutely could have gone on for much longer, with the added risks that come with such a thing, both to that Goku and everyone else participating. You all just rolled exceptionally well when and where it mattered.
And with that said, we are back!
>>6247880 All of you look toward the dorky demon, blank stares, narrowed eyes, or even looks of contempt. Fu either doesn’t notice or doesn’t mind. “Seriously, that was awesome! I’m surprised at how well you all handled that, testament to your teamw-OW!” Basilea slugs him in the face. Fu backs up a bit, rubbing his cheek. “Cous! Hey! I wasn’t done!”
“Correct, you weren’t.” she affirms. “You still deserved that.”
“...gonna be honest, if she didn’t, I would.” Izzy comments to you quietly.
“You’re still mad about the whole… my mom and uncle throwing you out thing?” he asks.
“I have a list.” she growls.
“Yeeaaaah I figured as much…” he sighs, rubbing the back of his neck. “Cool new duds by the wa- hey! That was a compliment!” Fu dodges another attempt to slug him.
“Shut. Up.”
“Fu… why did you show up now?” Gohan asks, almost sounding disappointed.
“Look, genuinely, you guys did well, that was super cool, and I wanted to applaud you all for that.” he states clearly and in a calmer tone than before, literally applauding for emphasis.
Rozriz points her knives at him. “I can tell the rest of you have history with this character, but I suggest we make ourselves scarce. Our work here is done.”

Sorry about that, had to adjust at the last minute.
>>6248348 You refuse to even properly acknowledge Fu, instead turning to your brother, commenting, “I know dad wouldn’t want us to be all sad and miserable about everything, but seeing that… other Goku, it hurt, and it reminded me of what we’re still missing.”
He still looks at Fu, frowning, which gets Fu to frown as well. Gohan sighs. “Right.”
“We’re not giving up though, either.” you say with a smile. “We’re gonna get him back one way or another. And we’ll be all the stronger for it.”
Fu… gives a melancholic look, but doesn’t speak up. Your brother’s frown softens into a smile as well, with him nodding. “Yeah. We will.”
“Now let’s get out of here.” You place two fingers on your forehead, most everyone gathered around you.
Piccolo backs away from Majin Ozotto, who growls at Fu, demanding, “Are you just going to stand there?!”
You finally give him a proper glance. “You owe us answers. Because OUR Goku is still missing. I’d like to hear them.”
Fu… just waves at you all. “Maybe, but…”
You look away, not even wanting to hear his excuse. Izzy, with her mech despawned, blows a raspberry at him in response. You then teleport back to Beelzebub, who’s been waiting at the nightclub still. “Hah! Knew you guys would kick some ass out there.” he declares. “The hell was that Ki I was sensing though?” That’s when he takes notice of… Goku. “…What the…?”
“Let’s get him healed up.” Keli says, with all of you finding a place to set Goku. “His energy is dangerously low, but without that corruptive influence he’s not in any immediate danger. I think I can ease away some of the damage done to his body.”
“Kama, medibug!” Beelzebub requests, with the weasel saluting, and then using Instant Transmission.
“By the way, where’d you leave the Dragon Ball?” Izzy asks Rozriz. She gestures her thumb at Beelzebub, who grins and holds it out. “…Dang, you’re quick.” She smirks a little, with Basilea returning some of the borrowed armor parts belonging to the robot raptor lady.

>>6248458 You meanwhile find a place to sit, reaching one of the corner booths in the establishment, your body aching all over. After a moment, you feel you need to say something. “Gohan. Be honest.” you address your brother. “Why’re you still trying to be all buddy-buddy with Fu?”
He leans against a wall. “…To tell ya the truth, I feel like he can do better. Be better.” Gohan looks over at Basilea. “I wasn’t exactly her biggest fan for the longest time after what happened during our encounter with Babidi. But I’ve been able to come to terms with it, at the very least, because so much of it was a result of her being used by Towa. It doesn’t undo all she’s done, all she’s tried to do, but it means she at least deserves a chance, right? I feel he should be given a similar chance, at the very least.”

Okay, sorry about the delay, but we are back!
>>6248459 You cross your arms. “…It’s fair, but at the same time, you and I both need to acknowledge the difference between the two of them. At the end of the day Towa, hers and ours, only ever really treated Basilea like a tool at best, one that frequently couldn’t live up to her frankly ridiculous expectations. Even then it took multiple ass beatings for her to even start to move toward the path of redemption.”
Basilea glares and growls out a “Hey!”
“I’ll buy you a drink for that,” you respond cheekily. She huffs, but even as she looks away you spot just the slightest smirk on her face. Hehe. “Still, the point is, Fu doesn’t have it nearly as rough as her, and honestly there are quite a few steps he needs to take before I can really call them comparable. Basilea was abused and lashed out. Fu treats our interactions more like a game. Sure we can give him a chance, but he needs to actually take that chance, not just allow us to sometimes talk him into doing the right thing. Until that, not exactly going to look forward to any attempted ‘equivalent exchanges’ with him.”
Gohan closes his eyes, slowly nodding his head. “Reasonable enough. But I’m still gonna hope and try for the best for him. Even if their overall situations are different, I can’t say I trust Towa, ours or his, to be all that benevolent.”
“Well, as long as he’s your problem, I guess. I just hope he finds his way to decency soon.” You dig out a few Zenni to hand to Basilea, Kama now back with the medi-bugs. “Gonna be honest though; I kinda prefer him as Mirai Kamen.”
Your brother laughs. “It was a fun gimmick.”
“And… hey, Gohan?” you turn to him as you stand up. “Fu aside… I know you’ve got a whole lot on your plate too. Don’t bottle all of it in. Talking with Chansu helped me a lot, maybe it can help you too. Just give it a thought.”

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6248894 “Okay seriously what is she doing up-?” Beelzebub tries to ask, but he’s interrupted by Goku waking up.
You discretely pass the Zenni to Basilea, with Kama tossing you one of the medi-bugs (still have that same taste, but still effective), as everyone gathers around him, but still giving him some space. Goku sits up, blinks, and looks around. He sees Piccolo… and again shows a degree of familiarity with him, which actually gets him to smile a bit. Okay good. But as he takes in the rest of you, his confusion grows. He even sniffs the air… then looks at Izzy, squinting.
“...Chi-chi?” he asks hesitantly. Yeah, he does still sound a lot like dad, though… just different enough that it’s a clear reminder that it’s not him.
She rubs the back of her neck. “Close, ehehe, but not quite.”
“Son Goku.” Piccolo addresses, drawing his attention back to him. “What do you remember?”
“Uhhh let’s see… Vegeta and I were training with Trunks, when we saw a Dragon Ball fly by, and... then there was this shard of something… then I was… fighting something…” Goku rubs the side of his head, then looks at you and Gohan. “…strong…” His face lights up. “You guys… you were really strong! And… you’re Saiyans too, right?”
Hoo boy.

>>6248895 You smirk a bit, declaring, “Yep. The Tuffest.”
“Haha! I’ll say.” he chuckles, rubbing his chest.
“Also, like, real quick… are you doing okay? Feeling all right? Because that form you were fighting us in was taking a LOT out of you.” The scars on his body have mostly healed, but you can still tell there are some residual marks, like far faded burns, on his chest.
Goku looks down, pats his chest, and casually says, “Eh, the light’s burned me worse before. Actually feel even better than I did last time it happened.”
“So this has… happened before?” Gohan questions.
“Yup.” he confirms, almost without a care. “Vegeta said when it’s unrefined like that it’s really really powerful, but it burns through you like a raging inferno. When you refine it into Super Saiyan it’s more like a torch with steady fuel.” He then looks at you, almost squinting as he rubs his chin. “You weren’t quite using that though. Your Super Saiyan was still under control.” Grinning and opening his eyes up wide again, he adds, “It was really cool! Who are you guys anyway?”
You start to take a cool pose, one that’d make mom proud, beginning to declare, “You see, we are a light in the darkness, hope of the-!” Goku states at you blankly. You cough and stand more neutrally, crossing your arms. “I mean, I am Champion of the Earth, Strongest Under the Heavens, Saiyan, Tuffle, and most important of all, proud Earthling, Son Peppa.”
https://youtu.be/N0KkRVNacX8?si=t6Ep8TrmSwhQcJ59 That gets him excited again, enthralled upon hearing that title. “World Champ?! Wow, just like me! Ehehe, no wonder you’re so tough!” And… it takes him a couple moments to register the other parts of your declaration. “…Waaaait. ‘Son’ Peppa?”
“My twin sister, yeah.” your brother adds. “I’m Champion of the Heavens, Son Gohan.”
“And I’m the cooler, older cousin to these two, Mahou of Earth and a Champion of Mifan, Izumi Mahogany.” Izzy adds in.
There’s a beat of silence as Goku takes in all you just said. Keli tries to reassure him, “I know that’s a lot to take in, clearly they’re not… who you recognize, but-”
(cont.)
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6248978 Goku just leaps to his feet and tousles your and Gohan’s hair affectionately while grinning with pride. “Wow, I knew I wasn’t quite home, but that’s a real surprise! My Gohan isn’t nearly as big, and, twins! And you’re champions! And you’re so strong!” He then looks at Izzy. “…Are you Raditz’s kid then?”
“No that’s our other cousin.” Gohan lets him know. “She’s aunt Chi-chi’s daughter.”
“Whaaaaaaa…?” he exclaims, surprised, confused, but still rather upbeat, and even a little proud still.
Rozriz finally speaks up, “As nice as these introductions have been, I don’t think we should all just stand here discussing your family trees.”
“Right…” Nostalgic memories resurfacing aside, still not quite done here. “Da- …Goku, when you said you saw a Dragon Ball fly by, was it like this?” You gesture at the red Dragon Ball, the three stars on it clearly visible.
“Yeah! That’s the one!” he confirms. “Weird one ain’t it? That’s what I saw before that shard of somethin’ or other came through.”
“Do you remember being captured?” you ask next.
“I remember… falling, and someone trying to put a mask on me, and passing out, and this weird power at the corners of my mind… then the fightin’ happened.” he responds. “Eh, sorry, that’s about all.” Looking at Piccolo, he asks, “Hey! Piccolo! Think you can fix this up?” He tugs at what’s left of his upper gi, which is mostly tattered and gone.
“Allow me.” Izzy tells him, using the Clothes Beam to fix up his outfit.
He tugs at it again, looking over it, then remarking, “Wow, you ca do that too? Neat!” After throwing a few quick jabs in the air, he gives your cousin a thumb’s up. “Thanks!”
You all hear a knock at the door of the nightclub, with the demon janitor calling out, “Sorry pal, closed until dusk!” A few more knocks on the door, these sound more like code. The janitor clearly recognizes it and looks over to Beelzebub, questioning, “You expecting anyone, prince?”
He crosses his arms. “Not at this time. But whoever it is, they know where to find us.”

Thank you for playing! And sorry about the delay, but okay, we're back!
>>6248979 You try to sense out who this is, even tapping your goggles for their scouter function. It’s… reading a figure with a decently high, but not “especially” high Power Level (around half Izzy’s base strength; still a league above the locals, but only just), and from what you can sense it seems to be a demon. You look around, thinking for a moment, and then get an idea. “Don’t worry guys, I’ll handle this… actually Izzy, help me out real quick.” you call your cousin over as you telepathically send her a message. She grins deviously, and quickly the two of you are heading over in the… hasty disguise of a demon business manager. With you on Izzy’s shoulders.
Reaching the door, you grunt out in a masked voice, “Password.”
There’s… an annoyed sigh from a young man. “B-L-Z-B-R-U-L-Z.” he spells out. And after another annoyed sigh, he adds, “Six-Nine-Six-Nine.”
You and Izzy both look back, with most everyone giving Beelzebub annoyed glares. Goku being one of the exceptions, trying to count on his fingers. The demon prince just nods, not even minding that you’re all giving him those looks. “He’s clear.”
You open up the door, and see a hooded figure standing in front of it. He glances up at you, and for a moment there’s a look of shock, almost fear in his eyes. You see his arm almost instinctually move to a holstered weapon, but he stops himself. His expression shifts to one restrained annoyance. Stepping inside, he reveals himself to be a young demon man with blue skin, short spiky white hair, blue pants and black boots, a purple bomber jacket over a white shirt. He... almost looks like a younger Mira. Not... especially encouraging.
“My name is Glorio.” he introduces.
“Hi Goliro! I’m Goku!” the alternate Goku introduces.
His eyes narrow, but he makes no vocal response. Instead, he walks toward Beelzebub and takes a knee . “Prince Beelzebub. I am here on behalf of a party with aligned interests. They have information relevant to you and your cause.”
“How do we know this ‘party with aligned interests’ can be trusted?” Piccolo questions.
“Could be a request to do someone’s dirty work for them.” Rozriz adds in speculation.
“You are free to make the decisions you wish with this information. Ignore it, act on it, investigate it on your own, all the party wishes for is that you receive this information.”
>A. Before we do, the way you reacted to us… what was that about? >B. is it something our group should be here for, Prince Beelzebub? >C. Well I ain’t got any objections to that, I’m willing to hear it >D. Something else? Anonymous

>>6249335 “Okay before we go into any details on this, quick question.” you address the not-Mira. “The way you reacted to us… what was up with that?” You try to direct Izzy to sit down, still on her shoulders, and end up clumsily Riker Maneuvering (at least you think that’s what it’s called) over one and sitting down on it. Goku chuckles and mimics it.
Glorio looks up at you, and only you, uneasily. “…You reminded me of someone that caused a lot of problems recently. Clearly you’re not who I was thinking of. My… apologies.” he awkwardly adds.
…Gonna file that away for after he says his piece. “Riiiight… cool gun by the way. What’s it shoot, Han Solo?”
His eyes narrow, not sure if you mispronounced his name or not. “It’s a focal weapon for energy.” He turns his attention back to Beelzebub. “Your highness, will you receive this information?”
https://youtu.be/bOKfI4vjeTQ?si=XmdiETkjUOg75RWb He nods. “Stand, please.” Glorio does as requested and holds out what looks to be a scroll of some kind and presents it to Beelzebub. The demon prince opens it, looking it over. His expression grows more serious, tail even lashing as he looks deeper. Some even scoot in closer. “…There are only a few people who could get access to information like this.” Beelzebub comments, eyeing Glorio with suspicion. “I think I can guess who at least one of this party is.”
“Not my place to say, your highness.” the blue demon replies. “I can only give my own word that this party has goals aligned with yours.”
“Soooo… what is it?” Goku asks.
“It’s… at least part of the grander plan behind the so-called ‘Promised Day.’” he begins, letting out a disgruntled sigh. “Or rather, it’s an outline of many of the redundancies in play. All designed for the main purpose of drawing out negative energy from across your universe, funneling it back down here artificially. Majin Ozotto’s Hakkero was one of them, since it was drawing in spiritual energy, though it says here that it also connecting to Hell for some other purpose.”
“Wait, seriously?!” Izzy finally exclaims, pushing you off her shoulders and getting in closer. You stumble back, but catch yourself, floating over, still above so you can get a better look. “So… this Hakkero was another attempt at that?” she questions, pulling it out and looking down at it. You… can’t really read anything on the scroll, which you notice actually has some kind of almost digital effect going on, a projection of sorts, likely brought about via Magic from how it feels.
“Yeah, it is also listed as damaged, though, but…” Beelzebub rubs his head. “…It further says something about an ‘unexpected result.’”

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6249396 “What other redundancies are there?” Keli asks.
“Let’s see…” Beelzebub opens it a bit wider, and starts to explain some of the things present on it, Basilea helping with it. There’s a diagram showing some spiky space monster with the note “investigate rumors of” next to it, which Rozriz comments seems to resemble one of the Astrabuella. There’s also a diagram showing a weird little creature that almost resembles Majin Buu, listed as “incomplete.” There are next a set of Dragon Balls, the familiar seven in total, which are… described as releasing untold amounts of negative energy, and yet there are also the outlines of draconic figures linked with them described as “useful byproducts.” Very detailed pictures of what looks like some sci-fi straightjacket are among the things, with a muzzle of sorts, with some notes about an… “awesome ancient evil” and even doodles of what look like uncle Raditz.
“...Somehow that last one reminds me of Fu.” Gohan mutters in mild disappointment. “Really, really hoping that he can be talked out of it…”
Continuing on, next, there appears to be a description of the… Tree of Might, of all things, with postulation that its fruit may prove especially receptive to drawing in enormous amounts of negative energy. You can very vaguely see the image of what looks like some goat-headed creature that’s crossed out multiple times with the note “DO NOT ENGAGE” written on it multiple times, almost in a mantra of madness. There’s also a note about a “Space Pirate” having “potential” and… some notes about Izzy’s Mahou? Weird. The Hakkero there is indeed listed as damaged, and next to it is the comment of an “unexpected result” like Beelzebub said, but the connection to Hell has something that you and Gohan definitely recognize… and even the alternate Goku, to your surprise.
“Broly?” Goku questions.
“So you fought ‘em too?” Gohan asks.
“Couple times, yeah. First time I was able to access the light was when he attacked and hurt Chi-chi.” he responds. That... somehow sounds familiar.
“Them getting access to Broly would be bad…” you state. “But at the same time, with the Hakkero broken that should set them back considerably.” You… still feel a little unease as you look at the Hakkero’s place on the scroll, and what is written next to it.
Beelzebub sighs. “This is a lot… but from the look of things none of them are anywhere close to the point they want it. Which means there’s plenty of time to mess with their plans.”
“Do you or your employer intend to assist us with any of these?” Piccolo questions Glorio.
“That option is open, but not a requirement or even a request. It all depends on what his highness wishes to do.”

Okay, sorry again for the delay, but we are back!
>>6249399 “Is there a way we can like… download this somehow? Copy it? Send the copy back home with us? Or maybe like, have some way to copy the Magic projections it makes… or even just a mundane version, if that’s easier. That way one of us could materialize it later.” you question. “It’d be plenty useful.”
“I think I can do that, actually.” your cousin suggests, looking over it. “That all good with you guys?” she asks Beelzebub and Glorio.
“I have no objections, and I doubt those I work for will either.” the latter replies.
“Go for it! Smart thinking!” Beelzebub praises with a thumb’s up.
“Still a whole lot of stuff in there…” Gohan notes. “Broly being a target sounds very bad.”
Goku stretches a bit, declaring, “Well, given how strong you guys are, I have no doubt you’d be able to bring ‘em down. Broly’s tough, but you’re tougher.” Almost cheekily, though, he adds, “…Would be lyin’ if I said I didn’t want a chance to fight ‘em too though.”
Heh, of course he’d say that. “Well, it might be worth trying to mess with at least one of those plans a bit. Can’t exactly do all of ‘em at once or anything, but we already freed Goku here,” you gesture to the alternate version of your father, “which has definitely messed with Ozotto’s plans all the more. So one more couldn’t hurt. Though ultimately it’s up to Beelzebub, given there’s no real rush.”
“Some might be easier to accomplish than others, too.” Gohan notes. “We’d have two Dragon Balls accounted for, but that leaves five more sent to who knows where.”
“Seeking out one of the Astrabuella likely won’t be an easy feat too.” Rozriz notes. “We’ve seen no sign of any ever since contact with the greater galactic community, which is a good sign, but that they are looking for one is… concerning.”
Piccolo and Izzy look at one another, with the Namekian grunting, “Might have a lead on that, but that’s something we should discuss later, back on Earth.”
The robot raptor lady gives them a curious look, but nods. “Agreeable.”
“We’ll give it some thought.” the demon prince states.
“Yeah, it’s not like Ozotto’s Hakkero is getting fixed any time soon.” Izzy flips the one she nabbed in the air and catches it.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6249792 …And that reminds you. Once is an oddity, twice is a coincidence, but thrice is a pattern. “Oh, by the way, Sisko,” you address the blue demon man.
“Glorio.” he grunts.
“Right. Liked Major Kira more anyway.” Not sure why that seemed controversial back at school. Okay enough being cheeky. “That person you had an encounter with, I think we need some more information.”
“Such as?” he inquires with a raised eyebrow.
You place your hands on your hips and sigh. “Look, I’m gonna be blunt: how much did it look like me? Because if there’s some kind of like, alternate version of me running around there, I’d REALLY like to get to the bottom of that.”
He looks you over for a moment. “…Same tail, same face, about the same height. Hair was white though, ears pointed, and with two red horns.” He seems to subconsciously rub his left arm as he adds next, “Strong, too. Dangerously so. Bratty, too.”
Gohan, Izzy, Keli, Piccolo, and Basilea give you uneasy looks. Goku meanwhile looks at his tail, commenting, “Never heard of a Saiyan with horns before…”

>>6249795 You rub your head. “So like, a half-Saiyan, half-Demon… something. Potentially an alternate me… man and I thought WE were ‘Wild Cards’ haha…”
“I mean, we still are.” Gohan states. “Supreme Kai of Time confirmed it.”
“...Supreme… Kai of… Time?” Goku questions, tilting his head.
“We’ll explain later.” Piccolo tells him.
You sigh. “That’s… definitely something I think needs some more attention. At the very least it’s something I wanna look into.”
“Understandable.” Keli says. “You having some doppelganger running around here isn’t something to just sit back and ignore.”
You rub your chin. “Maybe I can use the fact that we look so similar as a method of luring her out… do some good to make up for her troublemaking, y’know?”
“I dunno, you’re making some assumptions on this character. She might not really care. She also might try to seek you out regardless, the longer you stay here.” Izzy points out. “Plus it COULD be another trap by Towa, somehow. She kinda, like, hates you, and might want to ruin your reputation.”
“Oh what couldn’t be some kind of evil scheme set by Towa at this point?” Gohan questions sarcastically, pointing at the scroll. “And this doesn’t quite strike me as something fitting with her usual MO.”
“Fair enough. Just saying, plenty of unknowns.” your cousin relents with a shrug.
“...Let’s call her Reapa, just for sake of brevity.” you add in.
“That name is dumb.” Basilea grumbles in annoyance.
“Heh, I like it!” Beelzebub says at almost the same time.
Well, now you have this all set. “Yeah, thanks for the info, Pistolero.” you tell the blue demon man.
“...Glorio.” he responds with an almost accepting sigh.
“Regardless, we should take this info home, get more eyes on more plots.” you comment. Looking at Goku though, you ask him, “Say… are you okay with staying here for a while? We might be able to help you get back home, but it could be pretty tricky. The choice is yours though, we’ll help you however we can.”
Goku crosses his arms and grins. “Well, I do need to get back home eventually, but I’m willing to stay a bit and help out if you guys need, ehehe.”
“Thanks, da- …Goku.” Gohan says. “Should probably try to introduce you to… well, everyone back home if you are gonna be here for a bit.”
“Might be hard for mom.” you note. “But… she’s also plenty tough.”
Izzy rubs the back of her neck, adding, “Yeah those are gonna be some pretty awkward conversations. But I can get to work trying to find out how to send him back.”

Okay, sorry again for the delay, but we're back!
>>6249879 You just had a really good idea. “Say, we should probably keep any of these red Dragon Balls we find in separate places, lest we end up just doing Towa’s work for her.”
“Smart thinking, sis.” Gohan praises. “Time Patrol already has one, but keeping this other one away would be a better idea.”
“Right. I might be able to keep watch of this one over on the Lookout.” Piccolo adds. “Unless you’d prefer to keep it in your possession?” he questions the demon prince.
“Better keep it further out of reach, I say.” he replies.
You stretch a bit. “Aside from that… if Reapa is as much of a troublemaker as she sounds, we might just end up coming across her while on other business, or at least find some kind of clue on what she’s doing along the way. So, got any suggestions on what to tackle while some of us still here, Prince Beelzebub?”
“Hmm… if I had to narrow things down to one, I might say it’d be the potential Tree of Might. I haven’t seen one of those in the third realm, though, and honestly it might not even be possible to grow one up here… but at the same time, Towa wouldn’t just plop one down in the first realm.” He rubs his chin. “That leaves the second, or at least one of the worlds around it.”
“Wait, worlds around it?” Izzy asks.
“Yep. The main world itself is vast, like the size of… Saturn, I think? Planets both big and small orbit around it. Overall the second realm tends to have much more natural life around it.” he confirms. “Most of the original inhabitants are long gone, with only a few populations on certain planets still really there.”
“And do you have a method of getting us there?” Basilea questions.
“Weeeeell… maybe.” He rubs the back of his neck. “Do have a couple ships we’ve taken.”
Glorio speaks up, noting, “If it’s all the same to you, I might be able to help you along too. I’m an accomplished pilot. I can offer my help if you’re willing to hire me.”
“Are ya now?” you ask. So he IS a Han Solo type. Hah!
“I can stick around for this.” Keli says confidently.
“Some of us should head back then.” Rozriz suggests. “Unless you wish for another to join you on this journey?”
“Shouldn’t take more than one additional person if you’re going through ‘proper’ channels.” Glorio suggests.
Keli gives Beelzebub a glance, then you. Ah, of course. “I mean… I can think of one. Unless you have someone else you think would be a better fit.”

All of you split off, Piccolo getting most everyone back home as your group head over to Beelzebub’s palace. Melee is there to greet you, with her and Keli quickly embracing tight, but refocusing quickly. “Got a lot to catch up on, but we can talk on the way.” the demon lady tells her fiance.
“Yeah. You ready to mess with Towa’s plans?” Keli questions.
They bump fists. “More ready than ever.” Melee next turns to you, commenting. “Been a while, Peppa.”
You place your hands on the back of your head and grin cheekily. “Same. Let’s kick some ass out there.”
https://youtu.be/bOKfI4vjeTQ?si=VFUdgo9oFFMqGUpg As Glorio has you all start to board one of the stolen craft, Keli stops, turning her head and looking at something in the distance. Keli notices her pause, asking, “Something wrong?”
“...Prince Beelzebub, I think you should tighten up security.” she suggests to the demon prince. She then adds a telepathic message to you and Melee, ‘There’s a high chance Peppa’s doppelganger is watching us.’
Oh. Crap. ‘Should I head out after her?’
‘I think we should head off first, wait for her to make the first move. Looks like she just used Instant Transmission to get away.’
Ugh, of course your evil copy has Instant Transmission. ‘Right… I’ll keep my eyes and ears open then.’
“Best to keep your hoods up until we get there.” Melee suggests. “Don’t want to attract any more unwanted attention.”
Glorio starts up the ship, bringing you all to a… giant silver goldfish-looking thing. So that’s what Shun-Shun meant. While Keli and Melee catch up a bit, it asks for a pin code, and after bringing out a small device, Glorio reads one off. The fish then… opens its mouth wide, with Glorio flying it in. After going through a hub of sorts, you reach a sealed doorway that again requires some kind of passcode. Glorio enters it, and you all arrive in a realm with a vast blue-green sky, an ocean that stretches out into the horizon with scattered islands and continents dotting all over it, and worlds, whole worlds, scattered across the plane. Each of them at least as big as the moon, if not closer to Mars or even Earth’s size.

>>6250386 And as you reach out with your senses, you feel… life, so much life all around. It’s a stark contrast to the First Demon Realm, which while still decently populated was also much more barren, feeling like a desert town compared to a rainforest. Might take a bit more effort to find the Tree of Might.
“I’ll try to sense out the Tree of Might, wherever it is.” you tell the others, placing two fingers on your head. Keli does the same, the both of you searching out with your Ki. Even Melee joins in on the search, sensing out with the both of you.
“Then I’ll keep us high, atmosphere is thinner here so it doesn’t take up as much for impulse” Glorio replies. He looks at the device again, nodding at it.
“...So these Tatagami, they guard the Dragon Balls native to the Demon Realm?” Keli asks, her conversation with Melee continuing even as she looks for a strong Ki signature.
“Yes. Gola and I have taken turns keeping watch over Number Three while helping out with Beelzebub’s resistance.” she confirms. “The fact that Towa and Dabura haven’t made a move on it should be good, but it’s also worrying. They both know their locations, so aside from them trying to maybe keep Prince Beelzebub guessing on their next move, I don’t know why they haven’t acted on it. His highness also doesn’t want to really provoke them into acting, either. That Towa’s apparently gone out of her way to create a whole separate set is even more strange…”
“Perhaps there’s some kind of restriction on them that would prevent them from doing what they want?” Keli speculates. “Or maybe they want them as another ‘backup’ of sorts…”
“Are these Tatagami things strong?” you ask Melee, still sensing out for any especially large concentration of energy.
“Quite so, though I believe Prince Beelzebub might have gained enough power to take one of them on.” she glances over to you, smirking a little. “Against someone like Earth’s Champion though? I’d bet on her.”
You grin cheekily, though Glorio gives you an almost dismissive look. “You certainly think rather highly of this kid.” he tells Melee.
“I’ve seen how well she fights. My fiance too, even worked with her before, getting first hand experience with not just her power, but her skill and cunning as well.” Melee responds.

>>6250388 As the vehicle flies past one of the planets, you do pick up on some things below trying to track you. Rather powerful things, clearly animals but animals stronger than nearly any back on Earth. Maybe just a step below Godzilla and the other Kaiju. Meanwhile, on a different planet… there seem to be a whole population of beings each at least as strong as uncle Raditz as a Super Saiyan. But they also don’t give off an especially hostile vibe, their Ki is surprisingly calm and peaceful. You even pass by a planet that… you think resembles Namek, somehow. You even think you sense a… lone Namekian there? That can’t be right.
Keli’s eyes narrow as she locks on to something. “…I think I found it. Glorio, north-west, over there.”
He starts flying the ship toward a spec in the distance. Slowly it comes into view, and at first you see a brown and pale blue speck, what looks like a world that’s long dead and abandoned… yet as you approach, you sense life around it. Yet it’s odd… it’s not coming from the world itself. It’s almost like there’s something above it, like… a signifier that the world is dead. Like a halo above it.
That’s when you realize where the life is coming from. It’s the structure above the world. The ring. Now that you get closer and closer, you realize there’s more than just living beings on it. The whole thing is filled to the brim with Magic, too. Abundant amounts of it. The closer you get the more you realize just how massive a structure it is. At least close to the width of the Earth. Even Glorio seems taken aback by the sight of it, mouth agape in awe.
“I… haven’t seen anything like that before…” he breathes out.
But the thing that catches your attention the most is what’s growing out of it. An absolutely massive tree jutting out the side of the ringworld. The Tree of Might.

I wonder if Towa's fixation on the ToM's natural energy is gonna be the catalyst for those animal forms Shroomo and Salsa have?
Will Towa's be a cute little kitty cat? And to counter them, will we need to decide on Peppa's fursona so she can go sage mode with animal realm energy?

>>6250389 https://youtu.be/2gpz8QU4tCo?si=uH0SVb8kmau1y4jr As you all pull in closer, you notice very little in the way of any people around the ring, though some ARE definitely there. At least a group of soldiers, but also some weaker demons, and a couple that feel notably strong. Strong enough to be at least a little bit of a challenge. The tree though… that’s definitely holding on to a LOT of energy. You almost get a flashback of sorts… you back at Grandpa Roshi’s place with Gohan, waiting for mom and dad to come back for you. Waiting as they and everyone else faced Turles and Slug. Another of Towa’s plots.
Things are different this time around. You’re the one that’ll lead the charge to take this plot down. Glorio, refocused on the task at hand, tells you all, “Going to try landing this away from any major bases of operation. No response yet so they likely haven’t noticed us, best to keep it that way.”
“I think there might be a good spot.” Keli suggests, pointing to a slightly mountainous area not too far from the tree but far enough from any Ki signatures.

>>6250730 You casually get out your sketchbook from its capsule container and start making some rough sketches of the sight as you comment, “All right, let’s head down and investigate.”
Glorio raises an eyebrow at you but makes no real comment, simply bringing the craft down on the mountain area. Exiting it, you do notice how much fresher the air is around here, pristine almost, and noticeably more full of energy. You keep up the initial sketches, then look up at this ring planet, the sky dominated with the path it takes. To the side, you see the barren planet the ring is situated above, contrasting the lively artificial structure with its desolation. But as you turn around, you see the Tree of Might situated in its own little section, clear as day and looming like patient, waiting monster.
“Over there.” Keli points out an artificial structure, what… honestly looks like an evil castle or stronghold. One that’s sorta attached to one of the tree’s roots. “Biggest source of Ki nearby, likely guards, researchers, or others like that. Should be wary of them if we want to get close.”
Glorio looks around, then questions you all, “Where are you going to head first? Right to the tree, trying to get some answers about the ring, or do you have some other plan?”

But still, we better watch our step before the Tatagami sweep the rug from under us! Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
Apologies, passed out for a bit.
>>6250780 As you look around, you point out, “The ring is full of life even with the Tree of Might planted here, that’s odd. There’s so little sign of it actually drawing energy, nutrients, life from this megastructure. There’s no telling what Towa or her allies might be doing, could be something with the fruits, but clearly there’s more to this than we expected. There could easily be some precautionary measures in place, so let’s try to get to the bottom of this ring’s purpose first before trying to tackle the main objective of the tree itself.”
“Reasonable.” Keli agrees. “I don’t like how this feels, truth be told. It’s… eerie. There’s some form of Magic being used here but what exactly it is, I can’t quite tell…”
“There is more of a concentration of negative energy in this structure too.” Melee adds. “Still, any answers will likely be located elsewhere.”
Glorio nods, getting out a tarp to try to camouflage the ship. “Fair enough. Let’s be on the move then.”
You hide your Ki as best you can and get a move on, heading down a mountain path, watching carefully for any sign of patrols or the like. Still plenty of animal life around, you watch as some leaf-like bugs crawl across a branch, six-legged rabbit-like animals with spiraling horns, flying animals that look like a cross between cats and bats moving from tree to tree chasing after smaller creatures that look like some mashup of rats and bees, even a large and spiky octopus-like animal slowly crawling across the ground slowly with powerful arms. They might seem odd to you, but their Ki is more or less normal, at least as far as demon realm creatures go.
Eventually you do sense a patrol start to cross your way as you head toward the castle, with you all trying to duck away from them before you alarm anyone, each of you picking different spots to hide. The armored soldiers thankfully don’t take notice of you hiding in a small crevice, even as a curious little mole critter pokes its head out of the dirt and stares at you curiously. Aww. It’s kinda cute. Keli stays up in a tree with Melee, while Glorio tries to hide in a structure that… you think looks like some Namekian home, but long abandoned and covered by moss. You all also catch wind of the soldiers’ conversation if you listen carefully enough.

>>6250853 “...squad C is checking on if the Bludbeast has adjusted to the habitat here, we’ll hear the report in an hour.” one says to the demon soldier leading them all.
“Gnumesis.” the one next to the first, voice sounding more feminine, corrects in a tone that sounds very pedantic. “The proper term is Gnumesis.”
“This argument again…” grunts a larger demon behind them.
“For the last time, I don’t care what the Glinds called it, Pistil.” the first demon responds in annoyance. “I call it a Bludbeast, he calls it a Bludbeast, HE calls it a Bludbeast, most of the damn Gendarmerie calls it a Bludbeast. It’s a Bludbeast.”
“Bludbeast is the incorrect term, and if you put it on your reports, you’ll get reprimanded.” the pedantic demon lectures. “Just like when you started incorrectly labeling the Saibamen samples.”
“Oh like you know how to tell a Ginnanman and a Jinkouman apart just from the seeds.” the first scoffs.
“Enough.” their leader reprimands. “Focus on the task at hand, we need to check if that missing ship notification was a glitch or not. Eyes and senses open for any potential hostiles.”
“Sir!” the other soldiers respond in unison, shutting up and marching.
Once they’re clear, you all gather back together. “…So they did detect us?” you ask Glorio.
“They detected the ship’s pin, but don’t seem to have actually seen us fly in. We’re in the clear for now, the ship shouldn’t be spotted easily, but we best be extra careful not to alert them.” he replies.
“Let’s keep moving then.” Keli suggests. But as you all do, you hear the sound of sudden, instant movement just a short distance away. The sound of Instant Transmission. You look back, failing to spot who it was, but with a pretty good guess on who it at least might be. She’s here. And she’s shadowing you all.

>>6250856 Continuing along, you get closer to the castle, finding its entrances decently guarded. Might be hard to get through conventionally… though that’s when inspiration hits you as you remember the cute little mole. “Gonna get us inside. Teleport in after me.” you state as you form a Ki drill.
“Careful, Peppa. Don’t know if you might end up somewhere you shouldn’t be.” Melee warns. “Even if there are no lifeforms around, there may still be security measures in place.”
“Plus the roots of the Tree of Might, don’t want to accidentally strike one and end up contributing any energy to it.” Keli adds.
“I got this, don’t worry. You don’t have to try to play mom.” you declare confidently and grin cheekily. And so, you dig, drilling into the dirt and finding a way into the castle. You end up realizing it’s actually much deeper a structure than it seems, but finally you find a way in. And with the coast clear, you signal for Keli to teleport in with everyone else. Looking around, you see that the area you’re all in is some kind of storage area, and start to make your way elsewhere.
You get by a few guards without detection, and end up finding what Glorio spots as a record room. Finally, some answers. Keeping watch for anyone coming or going, you get in there, though the records the place has prove to be sparse. Lots of short, quick reports, catalogs of “specimens” and certain test results, as Melee and Glorio read off. There is one thing that catches the latter’s attention, apparently failed results relating to securing usable enough “Glind Tree” specimens for an eventual test with some of the Tree of Might’s byproducts. There’s that word again…
“So one of the things they’re trying to do is… revive a different kind of tree with the tree of might?” you ask, mildly confused.
“Yes… but this doesn’t make any sense though.” Melee speaks up, scratching her head. “Why would Dabura and Towa want the Kaiju trees back?”
You blink, looking at her. “The what trees?”
“They are trees that the Kais, or Glinds as they’re known down here, are born from, grown out of them like fruits. The last of them dried up centuries ago.” she explains. “So it doesn’t make any sense that they’d try to revive them, the likes of Towa and Dabura would be happy to see them gone… unless…” She snaps her fingers. “The Makaioshin!”
“What about him?” Glorio asks, taking one of the scrolls and shoving it into his jacket.
“He’s one of the Kais as well, it could be some attempt at either leveraging against him or keeping options open lest they need a ‘replacement’ of sorts. They… might even be able to do the same with the other Kais should they step out of line…”

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6250858 “Sorry love, hold up.” Keli halts her before she continues. “While this certainly has raised a lot of questions, what does the fact that it’s a failed report mean? Have they given up on it or are they still trying it?”
She rubs her chin. “Glorio, did you see any others with similar report titles?”
“Not yet.” He brushes over some other scrolls, then happens upon something. As he reads it, though, “…This might be more immediately relevant though.” Rolling it out, he reads, “Ratio Analysis of Fruit Production to Nutrient Intake.” Like with the scroll you all were initially presented with by him, there are Magical diagrams… ones that you don’t need to read to fully comprehend. Ones that show a shadowy Magic circle emanating from the ringworld, with a planet covered by similar Magic circles briefly. The tree’s roots then digging into that world as they project from the Magic circles.
A silence fills the room. “…How many times has this happened already?” Keli asks, shaky anger in her voice.
Glorio reads further, glumly responding, “...This document is detailing the second incident. Seven fruits able to be harvested from it.”
And just as you all are taking that in, an alarm goes off. Shit. You all sense out and take defensive stances, ready to move on a moment’s notice… but then you notice that no one is running toward you all. Quite the opposite, in fact; what soldiers you can tell were in the building are heading out from it. What the hell…?

>>6250859 You, Keli, Melee, and Glorio try to navigate through the castle’s underground as the hasty mobilization takes place, some researchers scrambling away deeper into the depths, hiding what they can away from whatever caused the alarms. Watching the places they come from and try to go, Glorio comments, “We may be able to get access to some of the more restricted areas in the confusion.”
Keli closes her eyes, sensing out. “…I can’t say I’d like to stick around while they’re trying to lock everything down. Can’t get a good read on what’s spooked them, though.”

>>6251188 “Getting into an observation room would be a good idea. Better that we have some idea of what’s spooked them before we try to get out of here.” you state, but also form a sphere of Ki in your hand. “But it might not hurt to leave a few… delayed surprises for them after we’re out of here.”
Keli smirks. “Sounds like a plan, Peppa.”
All four of you get a move on, carefully avoiding detection as best you can, while you end up shoving some Ki mines into places that most won’t trip them easily. Should make for nice, clear distraction for all of you. Keli and Melee also help set up some traps using Magic Materialization, tripwires and nets and and even a few Shadow Magic enhanced restraining devices just to make sure anyone left might end up slowed down all the more.
You reach a place labeled “Security Room 4” (as read by Glorio) and approach it with caution. Glorio himself is the one to enter in first, with the two demons at the monitors angrily trying to communicate with others. “What is taking them so long to secure that damn beast?! What is Sigma Squad doing?! Those-” As the door opens, he turns around, giving at first a confused, then surprised look. “Hey what-? AGH!”

All of you rush in, finally able to properly see what’s going on outside. A large horned animal, easily close to the size of a smaller sauropod back on Earth but with a stocky body, massive head that looks like it belongs to some deranged flat-faced boar or hippo, with spikes running down its back and the bottom of its short neck, thick hide crimson in color, and very, very ornery. More oddly, it seems to be repelling attempts to subdue it with a Magic barrier while lashing out at everything that gets too close to it.
“Squad C what in the hell is that thing doing back at the castle?!” demands the leader of that group that passed by you all earlier.
“We don’t know, sir! It was there one moment and gone the next!”
“INCOMING!” a different voice calls out, one of the soldiers outside. And… you all watch as the ship you got here on gets tossed at some of the soldiers.
“...Crap.” you grumble.
“There goes our transport.” Glorio remarks glumly.
“We have plenty of escape routes, but what the hell is it doing here?” Keli questions.
You look around the other monitors, noticing a hooded figure in the corner of one. “Wait, there, zoom in!” you call out. Melee is able to get a closer look at it, and while you can’t make out many features, you can tell it looks like some, a girl, about your size, maybe a bit smaller. Cloak hides most of her features and outfit, though you catch a brief glimpse of her face. A face that looks a lot like yours. Glorio takes an involuntary step back, shaken a bit by what he sees. Yet just as quickly as you see her, she’s already gone… though she also managed to glimpse back at whatever camera was looking at her, giving a smug grin the moment she vanishes. A grin, and a message, a telepathic giggle. In a voice that sounds like yours, but younger.
“It’s her…” Glorio gloomily grunts, able to compose himself again.

>>6251251 “Let’s get out of here, we have enough traps and everything set up to provide a very good distraction, especially with all of those soldiers out there trying to get a handle on that beast.” you tell everyone. At the same time though, you try to focus on whatever lingering psychic connection exists between you and your duplicate. ‘I know you’re still out there. Gotta say, I respect your style. Not a bad distraction.
And… no response. Okay, you’ll make sure she hears you.
‘Ahem. Ghost Pepper to… Bell Pepper, come in Bell Pepper.’ Still nothing, even as you and the rest teleport out of there, finding a Ki signature a good distance away from the castle. Turns out to be the top of a kaiju-sized, three-eyed winged moose monster, napping away even with all the commotion. Anyway, gotta get your duplicate’s attention. ‘What, Ancho got anything for that? Come on, it’s no Probalo.’ …So that’s how it’ll be. ‘Come on Jalapeno! Banana Pepper? Chile? Chipotle? Cayenne? Oh what, you think you’re too good for that? Fine, Tabasco, but I’m not gonna stop until you give me a response. You got that, Habanero? Actually, seems to me you’re more of a Madame Jeanette though. Or maybe Scotch Bonnet.’
Hey that one gets you a response, finally!
…The response is her blowing a telepathic raspberry at you.
Why that little…! ‘If that’s the game you’re gonna play, Reapa, you think you’re some kind of Peppa X, the new and improved? Well we’re hot on your trail, and now that I KNOW you’re hearing this, I’m gonna make sure you hear all I’ve got!’ …and you proceed to throw every meme that you KNOW would make her cringe, old and new, that Izzy, Giru, and Gohan have ever brought up in your presence, and several you’ve discovered all on your own. Even if it means you yourself will STILL TAKE THE (psychic) DAMAGE (ow). And that goes on for a solid minute. ‘- a sleepy-time jammer, we can get some bussin' food, no-!’
“...Why is she just standing there?” Glorio questions, an unimpressed blank stare on his face.
Gah! You almost had her! You place your hands on your hips and face him. “I was trying to track her! She taunted me telepathically, so if I could keep up that telepathic link I might have been able to do it!”
He keeps up his blank stare. “…And did it work?”
“Almost!” you proclaim. Keli and Melee raise an eyebrow. And you get another psychic raspberry. “…she just taunted me again.”
Glorio sighs and just shakes his head. “Right…”

>>6251306 https://youtu.be/1Ny2dZv60DI?si=bLguuwz8lcbU2qSd As you take in the surroundings, you see that you’re all right near the Tree of Might proper, with the kaiju-sized monster actually resting against one of the roots of the tree. You also notice a Ki signature flare up, one that seems to have been waiting in the tree itself. As if it’s letting any interlopers know it’s willing to step in now, and that it’s quite powerful, too. Powerful… and familiar. That’s someone you haven’t sensed in a while, but you can tell who it is clear as day.
Melanos of the Cell Sentai.

>>6251307 Melanos is clearly signaling a willingness to fight whoever started trouble on this ring, either hoping to force them into a confrontation or intimidate them into fleeing. But he also doesn’t seem to know that any of you are here already. At least not yet. Might be time to change that, especially since you know what this ring is capable of now.

>>6251708 https://youtu.be/7J9pid5ntHs?si=YQudqhuzR9tYfge0 “Keli, Melee, think you two can handle breaking this ring?” you question the pair.
The two glance at one another and nod, with Keli then asking, “I believe so, but what are you going to do?”
“The ring is only half of the problem.” You form a Ki drill, smirking confidently. “I’m gonna take care of the tree itself. Time for some foliage management.” Turning to face the demon man accompanying you all, you also suggest, “There’s a good chance there may still be some fruits on the tree, we can’t let them fall into Towa’s hands. Think you’re up for grabbing them, Glorio?”
He blinks, then softly chuckles and nods confidently. “Leave it to me.”
“Then let’s do this!” You leap down from the monster and work to use Spirit Fission with your drill, digging down into the tree’s root structure. Need to do this fast, though, so you roar out, “RAIO-KEN!” You tunnel through, breaking root after root, pulling energy out of them as you do, reversing the tree’s attempt to draw out energy from wherever its roots currently were pulling from. However, with this speed and power on display, you can’t exactly afford to be subtle.
‘Son Peppa! So that IS you!’ Melanos psychically addresses. ‘And here I thought a different little troublemaker was here, hah!’
(cont.)
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6251779 https://youtu.be/irPyQoL7UJg?si=kaSEke6oxg6C8oxV You sense multiple Ki blasts somehow traveling THROUGH the roots. Oh that’s not great. You do your best to avoid them as you continue to drill across the tree, but they still end up hitting you from behind.
‘Found you!’ Melanos taunts. ‘Don’t think you’re uprooting the tree that easily!’ You can sense his power skyrocket, he’s likely activating the Kaio-ken… possibly at levels none of your allies have even tried yet, not even Piccolo. He starts to charge an attack, even as you keep attempting to break through the roots, your Ki drill only getting stronger and stronger. You might be able to knock him away if you retaliate against him with it, but it’ll take the right timing. Okay, here he… comes…?
You sense Melanos knocked all the way to the other side of the ring, a massive surge in power accompanying the moment, one that vanishes as quickly as it comes. A psychic, teasing, smug chuckle echoes through your mind. Damn it, you’ve gotta do this now! You find the center of the Tree of Might, unleashing all of your strength into the Fission Drill as it draws in more of the tree’s own borrowed power. Pushing past your limits, you end up lifting the whole tree up and out of the ring, snapping the base of it off the remaining roots, severing the tree and keeping it from ever again threatening another world, demonic or otherwise.
It starts to fall, with you trying to catch your breath as you let your twitching arm rest. Both telepathically and vocally, you call out, “H-hey… everyone all right…? G-Glorio, you make it out okay…?” You try to sense for him, finding him still up in the tree. Crap! …He seems okay though, and as you fly toward him, the tree falling from the ring’s generated gravity and slowly moving toward the planet below, you notice a series of explosions hitting the superstructure of the ring. Keli and Melee are successfully tearing it apart, even as some of the strongest forces here try to stop them.
Spotting Glorio up in the foliage, you see that he’s gotten two fruits! Perfect! He spots you as well, giving a half-annoyed shout of “A little more warning next time!”
“Hah! With what I did to this thing, there hopefully will never be a next time.” you respond, grinning cheekily. It fades quickly as you sense someone teleport in. “Glorio look out!”

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6251780 He turns, eyes going wide in fear as a cloaked figure stands behind him. “Hello again, punching bag.” she addresses, delivering a quick jab to his gut. He coughs out, the grip on one of the fruits loosening, with the girl catching it. You dash at her to keep her from hurting the demon man any further, or from getting the other fruit, taking a defensive stance. She backs away, stuffing the fruit into a container quickly. “Well well… finally, you found me.” she chuckles out.
“I want some answers, now, Reapa.” you demand of her.
The flowing air starts to pick up, letting you get a better look at what’s under the cloak. Her outfit is… a bit of a mishmash of things, PTO boots, short shorts, mismatched leggings, fingerless gauntlets, a white tail wrapped around a waistcape made of… feathers for some reason, a black undershirt or tubetop, a tattered white vest, you even notice what’s like… is that a tam cap? A bonnet? Some kind of woolly cap on top of her head. But that’s where you see it most clearly. Her face. It’s absolutely your face, save the horns, pointed ears, red eyes, and the white hair. She also looks ever so slightly younger than you. Someone so close to being you, and yet clearly not.
“Going with that name, are ya?” the girl asks with a grin. “Eh, I guess you never did really pick one for me, better late than never. Coulda’ gone with something cuter though. Like Emberly. Or Bonney. I was almost partial to Savina too.”
“...Pick one for you?” you repeat. “The hell are you talking about?”
“Oh I’m so hurt!~” she clearly faux-complains. “And after all this time, all those little visits helping out the dumb imp of a prince, I thought you fiiiiinally cared enough…”
“Okay, that’s enough taunting. Get to the point.” you demand.
“You really did forget about me…” she asks, her tone shifting into a more serious one as she gives you a harsh glare, with her asking in a tone you recognize as one you… used to address mom with, “…mama?”
…
What.
“Excuse me?” you ask.
Her face eases as she shrugs. “Though I guess if we wanna be technical, you’re more a
‘papa’ to me, really... still, I think we’re done here, so…” She then sticks her tongue out at you. “PPPBBTTTT! LATER LOSER! HAHAHAHA!~”

Again, apologies for the delay, but we're back!
>>6251782 …So this is a lot to process in a very short amount of time. You’re not gonna do that just yet, because she’s about to try to run off. “Okay, first off, that’s Papa-Peppa to you, young lady, and second,” Wow that feels weird to say. You attempt to fling a drop of that demon realm Naga hot sauce at the girl’s tongue. Except she notices at the last minute and dodges, right as Melanos arrives behind her.
“Whoop!~ Oh hey that did look tasty…”
“That’s it you brat, you’re-AGH! MY EYE!” he yells out in pain as the drop hits him in the left eye. “GAH! HOW?! WHY?!”
“HAHAHAHAHA!” Reapa falls over, kicking her legs, pointing and laughing at him.
Okay she’s not going to teleport away immediately now. “You owe me answers, Reapa! What the hell does any of that mean?”
“Aww come on ‘Papa-Peppa,’” she begins, but you interrupt her.
“Okay that was a joke, I think I’m gonna ask that you call me big sis or something.” you request. “And I can call you lil’ sis. That sound-?”
https://youtu.be/vEAn6T8fYsQ?si=8wnA-OcZlXZhVrge “But that’s not what we are! You’re my papa! After all, you were swinging that big drill around and exploding all over the place, don’t tell me you don’t remember that.” She hops to her feet, quickly getting a cheap shot in on Melanos. The leader of the Cell Sentai has recovered from the hot sauce to the eye, but is now refocused on squaring off with the both of you, the damage done mostly superficial.
“...The Hakkero. That’s when…” you realize as guilt travels down your spine, remembering the shadowy form that started to coalesce from it. She gives you a manic smirk as you piece it together. “Re- Emberly, was it? I’m… so sorry I didn’t-”
“Nah you started callin’ me Reapa. Don’t go back on it now. First real bonding moment you even bothered to share with me, papa.” she responds in a taunt, the smirk growing all the more manic.
“Oh good, it’s a brat family reunion then. Don’t think- HEY!” Melanos spots Glorio moving away. “Oh I don’t think so!” His Kaio-ken aura blazes around him, with you quickly bringing out your Power Pole to stop him, raising your own energy up again. You block him successfully, but that’s when Reapa jumps over and stands on one finger on top of your head.
“Thanks for slowing him down, I think I’ll just take the other one too.” she comments, about to leap off after the still running Glorio.
“Oh no you don’t!” You headbutt Melanos, which proves a bit more painful than you were expecting because ow, his head’s almost as tough as yours. He backs away, rubbing his head. You then extend the Power Pole and hit him in the gut, sending him flying out of the tree. “Reapa, Emberly, whatever you want to be called, stop and listen to me!”
“Shan’t!”
(cont.)
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6252137 Oh that’s it. You swiftly dash toward her, with the girl dodging you at first, but when you manage to rebound via the Power Pole, you manage to pull her into a grapple… that’s also a hug. Not anything too aggressive, but warm and calming, tight but gentle. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know. I really didn’t.”
She struggles against you, grumpily responding, “Oh, good for you, but a little late for this. Now lemme-”
“No, now you be a good girl and mind your manners, now.” you demand of her in a tone that’s scolding but affectionate, a tone mom’s used with you and Gohan before. That… actually almost gets her to stop struggling for a moment. Just a moment. But as you try to get the container with the stolen fruit away from her, her tail grabs onto yours and yanks hard while she bites you on the arm. “AGH! OW!”
That, and a quick Explosive Wave boosted by Wind Magic, is enough to force you off of her. She glares you down, her voice less playful as she tells you, “Nice try.” Ki blasts then start to rain down on the two of you, with you both dodging as best you can.
“Hi, sorry, but the two of you need to stay where you are!” Melanos yells, blasting out with one hand as he holds the other out, telekinetically stopping Glorio in his tracks. And as he pulls the demon man back, the tree starts to break apart under your feet. Damn it, you don’t have any more time for this!
“GLORIO, THE FRUIT! TOSS ME THE FRUIT!” you yell out. He hesitates, but given the other options he has, he relents quickly, flinging it as hard as he can. You help guide it toward you with telekinesis of your own, but as Melanos switches his target from Glorio to the fruit, Keli and Melee rush in.
With the devilish aura of her Makaio-ken around her, Keli brings her hands forward, yelling out, “TRI-BEAM! HAAAAAA!” and blasting Melanos before he can properly attempt to fight you over the fruit.
Melee meanwhile sends multiple rope darts down that block Reapa from trying to grab it herself, with the briefly girl forced back. “Peppa, whatever you’re gonna do, hurry!”
(cont.)
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6252140 Here it goes! With your Ki drill ready, you use Forced Spirit Fission to send the energy from both the fruit and the stuff the Tree of Might absorbed not into the drill, but back out to where it all came from. All the energy it stole, sent back to everywhere it stole it from! Puffs of energy fly off. It might not be enough to restore everything the tree took, but it’s enough to bring forth at least some true recovery.
With what energy was still holding the tree together gone, it now completely fractures and breaks into pieces. You all fly up from the collapsing tree, Reapa backing away. While slightly frustrated she didn’t get the other fruit, she’s not taking any more chances. With fingers on her forehead, she leaves one last taunting, “Bye papa Peppa!~” and teleports away.
Melee sends one more rope dart over to Glorio, pulling him away from the collapsing tree before he ends up too caught in the debris. Also, even with… the girl gone, Melanos only briefly got knocked away by that Tri-Beam, and now here you all are with a destroyed tree AND ring.

>>6252158 In a way a reaper does also do the job of a prairie fire. Good choice, I just like taking the chance to be emo when I can!
If we can't take back our words with her and our lack of time, we could still offer to treat her to some meals. And then she'll dine and dash, and we'll have to go chase her down, wholesome activites!
But how will she know to find us?

>>6252141 Well. She’s gone. And you guess the name’s pretty apt. You reap what you sow. Ugh. You do your best to try to make a telepathic connection with her one more time. ‘You deserve to be your own person, not defined by what I am or not or anything I say or do. And… if you want to talk or whatever, you know how to find me.’ With a sigh, you end it with both a telepathic and verbal, “…See you later.”
Melanos flies back, irritated, looking around for Reapa. He growls out a frustrated sigh. “Oh this is just great, we lost the tree, we lost the fruit, and YOUR little ‘accident’ is out there unchecked!” he points at you.
…For some reason hearing her get called that kinda annoys you. But you’re gonna be diplomatic about this. Probably the only chance you’re gonna get. “Melanos, look, two things. One, you give us directions to a ship, I toss you some eyedrops for that. Know how the sting will linger, even if you’ve got like… super regeneration or something. Second, why did you let Towa and Dabura hand over Gero? I thought you and your squad’s… or brothers’… whatever you guys are, that loyalty was to him.”
He glares at you, but as he does his eye flinches and he rubs it. “…You got the drops?” he questions, to which you hold out some for him. “Good. Give, and you get directions.” You toss it, and he casually catches it. Getting a few drops in, he explains, “Undamaged outpost to the north-east from this position, get there before it collapses into the planet below. All I’ll say about our supposed ‘loyalty’ to him or the rulers of the Demon Realm is this: we know better than to let them hold all the cards, call all the shots. Even if we see the logic in certain end goals, we also know they aren’t perfect. Not him. Not them.”
“...And if you find someone better aligned to your own ‘end goals’?” Glorio inquires.
Melanos looks at him with a raised eyebrow. “What a curious question. Guess it remains to be seen. Might want to hurry, while there are still a few left.” And then, he teleports away.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6252223 https://youtu.be/MtPsAf3bgAA?si=Kch41BTT8Yno1zCf You glance at Glorio and give him a concerned look, but as the ring starts to break apart further, you realize he’s right. “Let’s get out of here. Mission accomplished.”
And so all of you rocket away, getting closer and closer to the area Melanos pointed out. You swerve and dash through debris from the tree, branches and bark and roots splintering and crashing into each other as they fall toward the planet. Chunks of the ring that Keli and Melee broke break away, flying out toward the tree and crashing into it. You end up having to dash and run across parts of the landscape, crumbling as it falls.
“At this rate this the structure’s going to break apart before we reach the plane!” Glorio shouts.
“...If we don’t make it-” Melee starts to say, looking over at her fiance.
“We’ll make it.” Keli states confidently, scooping up Melee and carrying her as you all clear through a tunnel and into open air.
You extend the Power Pole again, telling Glorio quickly, “Grab on! Quick!” And the moment he does, you and Keli look to one another, nodding. “RAIO…!” you begin…
“KEN!” she finishes, the sudden burst of speed bringing you right to that abandoned structure, a trail of sparks leading from the shattered part of the ring to the outpost! Ships start to fall as the gravity of the planet and the gravity of the ring reach a point where they start to go into freefall. You get into it, even managing to get a little family of those demon moles you’d seen previously into the ship as they fall out as well, Glorio jumping off the Power Pole and leaping into the pilot’s seat. Its engines ignite, taking to the air properly.
You get out of there just in time, sections of the ring either flying away into the void between planets or the world below, the Tree of Might itself crashing to the planet’s surface. You sigh in relief. It’s over. The tree is gone, the ring is broken, though… Reapa is still out there, with one of the fruits.
Really hope she takes your offer soon…

>>6252224 It was cool, but I really want to understand how Melee and Keli destroyed the ring. The Crane School doesn't have WMDs like the Kamehameha and Melee hasn't shown she's capable of that either. Did they overload some reactors somewhere?
Anonymous
>>6252591 Thinking about it, she could snipe through things with the Dodonpa a whole lot and mess up the ring that way, Dodonpa is way underrated!
Also I have looked at her PL, bigger than Vegeta's 18000 tru, but I still struggle to picture Keli as a planet buster in what she can pull off the same way I can't see it with any of the Z-Fighters who aren't Saiyans, maaaaaybe Piccolo.

>>6252509 Glad you liked it.
>>6252591 >>6252593 Melee went for some of the Magic systems in place and set them to start backfiring, while Keli actually kinda had a similar plan to Peppa, using a combination of Forced Spirit Fission and the Tri-Beam, with her Makaio-ken active, to do critical damage to the superstructure itself.
And with that, we are back!
>>6252224 With the Ring of Might in ruins, and all of you able to get out of there without issue, Glorio pilots the ship back to the warp fish thing. Returning to Beelzebub’s palace, you give a quick debrief on both the good and the bad news about your mission, especially since you have no idea what Reapa might be planning next. Ugh… that’s still a bit of a headache for you to have to deal with. Those down here know about her now, but… back home is another matter.
You lean against a wall, trying to get all your thoughts in order, when Keli approaches you. She hesitates for a moment, then asks, “…Hey Peppa. You ready to head back home?”
“Maybe… just trying to really process it all, I guess.”
“Well, I can talk if you need, but it might be better to talk with family.” she says, kindly but firmly. “It’s been a crazy day.”
Ugh. What even is mom gonna say? …What about Cocoa? You shake your head. “How about you, you going to head back too?”
“Soon. Melee and I are gonna catch up a bit more.” She crosses her arms, adding, “If you’d like, I can help you try to get your thoughts in order first though.”

That's cool! Did she have to spam the Tri-Beam? From what I recall, it could absolutely destroy or smackdown anything caught in its domain, but it was also limited to the triangle-square, not a WMD like the Kamehameha. On the other hand, from how destructive it's built up to be, limited its capability for destruction as lesser than the Kamehameha is pretty silly.

>>6252594 “Honestly, I feel like I need to move up my next therapy appointment.” you sigh out.
Keli chuckles. “Hah, yeah that’s fair.”
“But… the fact of the matter is, she thinks of herself as my daughter, and boy I’m not sure I really put forth the best first impression as a… parent, a ‘dad’ to her.” Ugh that feels weird to say out loud. “…How about you and Melee? Do… you two feel like you want kids? Or nah?”
She lets out a startled, stumbling guffaw, blushing and looking away. “Adjh…! Uh… I-I mean… well, that’s… certainly something we’ve talked about from time to time, but…” In a quieter voice, she says, “…We might…”
That gets a little smile out of you. “Well, I’ll wish the best for you both then. I… think I’m gonna go talk with Cocoa first, honestly.”
Letting out what’s halfway between a laugh and reluctant exhale, Keli says, “Gonna rip the bandage off right from the start huh? Well… best of luck to you too, Peppa.”
The both of you bump fists, and you finally head back to Earth, but not home just yet. You instead, arrive on the Lookout, requesting a moment to get in a quick shower to freshen up, then afterward tap your goggles and call Cocoa. After a moment, she picks up. “Morning Peppa. Finally back?”
Even just hearing her voice again brings a smile back to her face. “Yep, boy did a lot happen.”
“Eheh, I heard something about you guys finding some kind of alternate version of your dad from Pantea yesterday, so I can imagine.”
“Ugh… yeah. Mind having a bit of a… more serious talk in a bit? Brain’s full of just… so much stuff and I really need to talk with you about some of it.” you request.
“Sure, let me get dressed and then meet me in a bit.”
The two of you meet up in a park just outside the limits of West City, with your girlfriend standing with a cute blue sleeveless dress against a tree. “Hope you weren’t waiting too long.” you say with a wink.
“Just got here. Flying’s still not as easy for me as it is for all of you, you know.” she responds, sticking out her tongue cheekily. “So, what’s up? I’m guessing this isn’t just about that other Goku.”

Thanks for this Kato, this conflict with Reapa is more than I could have imagined. I have to admit I wasn't on the ball with "Emberly" as I called her, I thought the Emberly was this Goku we met. To say I'm pleasantly surprised by how much a character she ended up being, in both respects, it is to put it lightly. My spirit is warmed, eheh
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6252704 Thank you for that. I know it's probably a bit much to throw at y'all for this final thread of Tuffle Quest Kai, but I wanted to give just a little bit more spice to work with.
>>6252668 https://youtu.be/19jBBilusdE?si=MogOwNRqFhwduuk2 Okay. Okay. You need to be very, very careful with this. So, you open this the best way you can and oh wow that’s not as easy as you thought. Just. Damn it don’t overthink this, Peppa! “Cocoa…” you begin. “…Would you date a woman with kids?”
She stares blankly at you for a moment, then presses her hands together in front of her lips, some emotions cycling through her face. Finally she points them down toward you and lets out a mildly hesitant, yet intrigued, “…yyyyes. I have a question before you continue though.”
“Go for it.” Okay, good news so far.
“Which flavor of bullshit is this gonna involve, time travel bullshit or mystical bullshit?” she questions, taking the moment to drink in the surprise on your face before continuing, “…Did Towa or whoever her cronies are do it? Do I have to fight her for your affections?” You can tell Cocoa’s asking this half-jokingly, and… honestly half-seriously.
It really catches you off-guard, with you holding back a laugh. “C-Cocoa, please.”
“I WILL slap her. Your mom said it works.” she declares confidently, crossing her arms.
You love her so much. Okay, fully serious though. “From the top. Mystical. Remember a few months ago when we had that big mission to rescue everyone?”
“Mhmm.” she affirms with a slight bob of her head. “You mentioned helping out the resistance against Towa and Dabura ever since then.”
“Yeah. Well, I got to meet an unexpected consequence of that mission, the result of trying to sabotage the Hakkero that Majin Ozotto was using for a whole bunch of nefarious purposes. When we went back there I kept getting these weird reactions by different people, like they recognized me, but not… AS me. As someone else. Third time it happened, I got what sounded like confirmation that this was someone else that looked like me, and was causing trouble all over the Demon Realm, everything from dine and dashes to antagonizing Ozotto to beating up… civilians?” Does Glorio count as one of those, really? “Beating up people that probably didn’t deserve it, at the very least. Probably. I thought this might just… be some twisted experiment or alternate version of me that Towa made because of course that’s the crap she’d pull. Dubbed her ‘Reapa’ because, it made sense at the time. The moment I finally see her face to face, that’s the assumption I’m running with, so I give out the usual taunts and try to hit her with the kind of cringe that I KNOW I’d start cringing at, but oh she just starts blowing raspberries at me and, just…” Okay you’re starting to shake. Take a breath, count down from ten.
Cocoa approaches and rubs your back reassuringly. “And…?”

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6252732 “...She has my face, she has a tail like me, she… she at least looks close to my age, but noticeably younger. The moment we properly talk, she hits me with the truth. She’s the result of my sabotage… and she called me ‘mama’ at first, then switched to ‘papa.’ Because I’m the one that brought her into the world, even if I didn’t carry her. So, at the very least, she treats me like I’m a parent. Even accepted the ‘Reapa’ name. She’s… well, to put it bluntly she’s a brat and ran off when it looked like she wasn’t going to get her way even than she already got.” You sigh deeply. “Whether I like it or not, I… basically have a daughter now, one that’s ran off on me and probably has a bit of a chip on her shoulder over all this.” Holding your head in your hands you let yourself groan out, “I haven’t even told mom about this yet.”
https://youtu.be/KXK0O3eupIg?si=5kV0lbkOFaFblkfI “...Hoo boy.” Cocoa takes a moment to just, really process all this in, and you can clearly tell there’s a struggle going on in her head over it. Still, it looks like she’s… at least taken a lot of this well, all things considered. “Well. At least it wasn’t Towa this time.” she lets out, relief clear in her tone.
“I… I gotta be honest, I felt like us having kids would’ve been way more of a choice. Something to plan for and tackle later on in life, maybe end up having to use a little bit of Magic, too. Teach and Lapis adopting Tommy was a choice they got to make together. But it’s a serious responsibility, and it’s not one I expected to just stumble into like that, ugh there’s so much catching up I have to do after how our first real encounter went…”
“Yeah gonna be honest, you’re just about the last person I expected to hear ‘hey I accidentally became a dad’ from. Even with these utterly bizarre circumstances.” Running her fingers through your hair, she asks rhetorically, “Oh what am I gonna do with you…?”
“...Well you did say you’d date a woman with kids-” She bonks you on the head. “I deserved that.”

>>6252733 “You did. Also your mom needs to know soon, and I’m coming with.” she says adamantly.
A little surprised by that, your face definitely reddening just a bit. “Y-you sure?”
Nodding confidently, she states, “Of course. I wanna be there, we’re gonna tell her about our kid together. No ifs, ands, or buts.”
“Cocoa-” Your mind needed a moment to register properly what she just said. Words decide to launch a revolt against you. “…Ah. Wuh, gh. Bh…?” She’s smirking at you, but she’s also plainly serious. Well that… might make things a bit easier. Wow it just got really warm all of a sudden too… “Thank you…”
“Welcome.” She kisses you on the top of the head sweetly.
“Cute locket by the way, what’s in it?” you ask as you point to the seashell locket around her neck.
She opens it up. “Just a cute little thing I got a while back.” There’s a blue gemstone in it. “Thought it matches my outfit well. And I guess now it helps pair nicely with you, since you’re still red as a ripe pepper.”
“H-hey!” you pout, but she just kisses the top of your head again.

Glad to hear!
Now, we're back!
>>6252734 “...Well, Peppa, I’ve been able to get foresight on a lot of things over the years. This? Didn’t even get a hint of it coming.” mom says as she sinks back in her seat a bit. “Did kinda expect to have a talk with you and Cocoa about this one day, but in a bit of a different context.”
“Eheh…” Cocoa rubs the back of her neck bashfully.
“I… still don’t know where she is, where she’s going, what she’s planning.” you say more seriously. “But if she’s going to call herself my daughter, I… do want to try my best for her. Especially since we kinda started things off on the wrong foot…”
Honestly all things considered, Maple’s taken the news well. Especially considering she only just got got done going over the stuff with… the other Goku. Who is currently outside with your uncles, Chi-chi, Vegeta, and Nappa. Gohan meanwhile is in here with you, as is Izzy, the pair listening on, clearly holding back some snark until they were sure how Maple would react. That and Cocoa being there too caught them a little off-guard. Well, now that it’s all said, your brother walks over to you, placing a hand on your shoulder.
“Congrats, sis. You became a dad before I did. Good that you’re willing to take responsibility too.”
“Gotta wonder if I need to keep a closer watch on my Hakkero when around you…” Izzy adds with a nonchalant but clearly teasing tone. Cocoa then gives the two of them a smiling glare, with both backing off just a bit.
“You’re both butts.” you grumble at your brother and cousin. “I… kinda don’t really know what to do next, aside from move up my therapy appointment.” …That’s when you remember something. Chansu and how she reacted to Beelzebub, and he to her. Does mom know? Did she ALWAYS know? Ugh, it has been exhausting…
“Her having a fruit of the Tree of Might is… concerning, for sure.” mom remarks, leaning forward again. “She might be able to save one of the seeds from it and start planting again, or she might just use it as a one and done boost… yet her not being even remotely on good terms with Towa is at least a positive, and after that stunt I don’t think Towa would be all too pleased with her to begin with.” Maple sighs softly and laughs, “Heh, guess our family can’t escape being wild cards of some variety… well, the best I can offer at this point is this choice: give her space and let her try to respond to you on her terms, or we head over to Baba’s and seek her out directly even if she doesn’t want to be found.”
>A. We… should give her that space for now. I feel she’s already plenty upset with me, doing more might make this worse >B. Yeah, let’s head to Baba’s place.

ssorry about that, passed out
>>6253027 “We… should probably give her some space right now. I’ve got all sorts of worries for her but I also know she’s plenty upset with me, and trying to force this out with her is only going to upset her more. She knows where to find me… find us, regardless.” It kinda hurts to say, but it’s what you feel is best for her. “On the other hand, might be worth asking Baba if she can look more into her past. There’s so much I still don’t know about her, so much I would at least like some insight on. That could be a good deal more helpful, leaving any attempts at contacting her for much later.”
“That’s fair.” mom agrees.
“Also… before we do any of that, do you think you could do some scrying for me?” you question, getting out your sketchpad. “This here’s a thing we spotted in the Demon Realm, what one of them called a ‘Bludbeast.’ Or Blud… whatever for short. Think you can try to find it?”
“...Peppa you just got a kid, are you trying to adopt a pet too?” Izzy questions.
“Shush. It was on the Ring of Might and I wanna make sure if it survived or not.”
Mom holds the sketchpad for a moment, then asks, “Mind if I do some mind reading to get a better sense of it?”
“Go ahead.” you agree.
Mom materializes a crystal ball, closing her eyes and focusing for a moment. When she opens them, she looks into the sphere and focuses intensely. It takes a bit, but then… an image forms. Inside it, it is indeed the creature that Reapa sent rampaging, and… it’s alive! It also seems to be resting on a world that… looks like one of the worlds that you passed in that ship. Mom is surprised. “…It’s on Namek?” she asks aloud. Close by it, near a small home, a very elderly Namekian sits at a small table, a smile on his face, with two cups at the table. No one else is there though. Weird.
“How’d it end up on Namek?” Gohan questions.
“That is a very good question… doesn’t look like it causing any trouble. Don’t recall seeing that guy on Namek either.” she says, rubbing her head.
(cont.)
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6253150 “...I think I recall seeing a world that looked like Namek in the Demon Realm, actually.” you recall. “Maybe it’s there? Still, wasn’t aware of any Namekians living there… really odd.” But potentially encouraging? Maybe Reapa brought it there and left. At least, that’s what you’d like to hope. Before you move though, you look to your mom and hesitantly bring up. “…So I know she probably has her reasons and truthfully, I trust her, but I’m also not blind to what I noticed when Beelzebub barged into my therapy session and recognized her. Are you… aware of Chansu’s, uh, ‘situation’ too, mom?”
“Oh, yeah. Heh heh, sorry, something she likes to keep confidential.” Maple responds without really saying the implied part out loud. Probably for good reason.
Well. That answers that. Probably shouldn’t pry further. “...All right. Just wanted to check.”
Cocoa raises an eyebrow at that. “…So does Beelzebub go to your therapist too or…?”
“Prrrrobably not? Not something to really dwell on though.” You figure if it’s something she wants to bring up, she’ll do so on her terms. “Anyway, moving up that appointment regardless.”
“Well, let’s head on over to Baba’s.” mom suggests, leading you all out of the house. Outside you see Buu playing with Groucho, while the other Goku’s still crowded around by all the Saiyans and your aunt and uncle.
“Surprised the old bastard still had it in ‘em.” Vegeta grunts with just a hint of genuine pride in his voice.
“I’ll say, makes the King I served look like a total chump, hahaha!” Nappa agrees with a hearty laugh.
“Yeah, beating that Freeza guy must’ve been no small feat.” Goku says. “The version of your pops I knew was pretty tough though.”
“So back to the war you were called to…” Raditz attempts to get back on topic.
“Hey, brobro, Chi-chi, heading down to Auntie Baba’s for a bit.” Maple calls out to them.
He waves back at you all. “Got it.”
“Oh, Fortunesmeller Baba! Hey mind if I come with?” Goku asks. “Got some things I’d like to ask her.” He then looks at Raditz and rubs the back of his neck apologetically. “Eheh, sorry, can I take a raincheck on that story?”
“Yeah sure.” Raditz agrees.
“I don’t see why not. Come on mon-” Maple catches herself, sadly smiling and correcting, “…Goku.”
“...Yeah that’s gotta be awkward.” Cocoa whispers to you.
Gohan sighs. “Putting it mildly.”

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6253151 And so, you, Cocoa, Gohan, Izzy, mom, and Goku all teleport over to Baba’s Palace. One of her ushers greets you outside, shocked by the appearance of Goku, and quickly calls her over. With a quick explanation, Baba hums as she thinks over it. “Hmm… I think I can agree to this, but I’d like a little help in return.”
“With…? Ah, I think I know.” mom says. “You want us to run a gauntlet with the Ghouls?”
“They need the practice.” Baba confirms. “And it may give me some time to gauge some proper insight into you, Son Goku from another realm.” she adds as she looks to him.
“Great! I’m ready for it, Fortunsmeller Baba!” he declares excitedly.
Her eyes narrow, letting out a grumble of “Different realm, same Goku…”

>>6253152 This thread has been action packed so far, I keep getting hyped! In fact, this Gauntlet gives me an idea for a wager!

Glad you're all enjoying it still, and we'll see about that.
Anyway, we're back!
>>6253152 As Baba brings you all forward, Izzy asks, “So who’s going first? Anyone got any preferences?”
“They’re probably a different group than you’ve faced before, Goku.” Maple says.
He rubs his chin, commenting, “I remember there being an invisible guy, and a mummy guy, and a vampire guy, and a devil guy, and… Grandpa at the end eheheh. I fought the last two.”
“Yeah then this is gonna be a whole different group. Might not be as much a physical challenge, but some are pretty skilled in other areas you might not expect.” mom remarks.
“So, preferences?” Izzy asks. “I wouldn’t mind seeing how Phanty’s improved. That is, unless you wanna go against her first, Gohan.” she asks in a very teasing voice that catches mom’s attention.
“Don’t start.” he requests.
“You suuuure?” Cocoa teases too, and even you can’t resist giving him a little smirk.
“Focus.” Gohan groans. “I don’t have a preference. Sis, what about you, you wanna face Sibella?”
“I’m sure Sibella’s practiced plenty of new tricks.” you respond. “She might want a rematch, but also might end up going last. Plus no real guarantee on who all will fight… Baba, how many rounds will this be?”
“A total of the usual five.” she says. “Which foes you will go up against will be kept a secret until the match comes, and only one switch per match, before the match starts, will be allowed. Are you all ready?”
“If it’s all the same to the rest of you, I’d like to start us off, our first opponent.” Maple requests. “That good?”
>A. Yep, should give us a good gauge of how much they’ve improved >B. Actually I’d like to start us off, would be good to get one more little workout in >C. Mind if we get some grub in, Baba?

The Goku wearing a mask thing was a cute reference, but still adding more two hours later is just dragging it out and making it take longer for Kato to post
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6253513 “Yep, should be good to gauge how much they all’ve improved.” you confirm. “Say, mind if we get some grub, Baba? It’s been a while since some of us have had a proper meal.”
“Oh! Yeah that sounds like a great idea!” Goku comments with glee. “Got a little something earlier but I could do for a proper big meal.”
Baba’s eyes narrow as she looks over you, Gohan, and Goku. Eheh. You don’t have to read her mind to tell she’s internally complaining about Saiyan appetites. Maple rubs the back of her neck and comments, “I… didn’t exactly have time to cook anything big before we got here. Pay ya for it?”
“Just help me restock afterward. Materializing food is taxing enough on my old body, need at least some stuff in storage.” she grumbles, signaling for the ghost ushers to prep a quick meal for everyone.
While Maple is led outside to the circular arena overlooking Baba’s oasis, you all get get seats at a table with a view of it. Meals get brought in for all of you, and as you start to dig in, you notice the sky darken a bit. Clouds suddenly cover the sun, thunder echoing across the land, and after a couple flashes of lightning, a bolt hits the arena. A bolt that brought a person down with it, a tall young lady in a tattered lab coat, black hair stood up with white streaks on the sides.
“You stand before the Electrifying Elsa! Should you best my abilities, four further tests of your might await!” she declares in a booming, thunderous voice. Her aura surges around her, sparking with power. She then notices who’s standing before her, and she flinches, gulping, “M-M-Maple?!”
Mom just grins at her proudly. “Fantastic entrance, Elsa! Don’t get intimidated now though, we’re here to test how far you all have come.” She takes her fighting stance. “Don’t hold anything back.”
While still a little intimidated, she focuses again, taking her own stance. Baba holds a hand up, the clouds parting. “Match… BEGIN!”
The match starts off with a bang, Elsa rocketing at Maple with full force. Her whole body’s sparking with Magical Lightning, attempting to make every move that lands one that’d inflict a numbing stun. It’s actually pretty clever, even if she ends up against an opponent with noticeably more strength than her, any wrong move can cascade into a solid and debilitating combo. And all she’d really need to do from there is get a clean enough hit that’d knock them into the water. Plus, it looks like she’s even subtly using the force of her impacts and the few Ki blasts she throws out to splash some more water into the arena, making the situation all the more tricky for any fighter that comes by.
Even then, mom’s able to read her like a book, taking her seriously but mostly sticking to the defensive, seeing all that the girl can do first before acting. Even after Elsa uses the Raio-ken, mom still has a noticeable upper hand against her in strength and speed both.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6253614 Goku though, mouth stuffed with steak, takes note of the technique, asking, “Whuh wmhs vaht muhv?”
“I swear the manners must be more than even genetic, they’re cosmically determined.” Baba mutters from near the ring.
You though know exactly what he asked. “It was something mom helped develop when she was much younger, the Raio-ken. After training with the Sacred Crown to become quiet as the sky, but faster than lightning, it’s refined into a power like the Kaio-ken, boosting one’s speed tremendously.” You also use telekinesis to float over several things of onigiri in the form of a little train, stopping one with eggs, bacon, green onions, and dashi in front of Cocoa, with your girlfriend appreciatively taking it and chowing down before you do the same.
“Might not be the same kind of power boost as other transformations, but it can be more easily stacked with others, even Super Saiyan.” Gohan adds.
“Neat!” he declares after gulping down the steak.
Back with the fight, Maple’s still keeping on the defensive, though once she’s gotten a good enough read, she starts pushing back. “Remember Elsa, you’re not giving your body that much of a break when you go full throttle like that. It can end up pretty easy for someone…” Maple ducks under an electrified punch and delivers a spin kick to the girl’s side, knocking her away. “…to get under your guard like that!”
She recovers from the hit, holding her hand up and fires a beam into the air… one that not only is filled with Lightning Magic, but draws in electricity from the air around her. With a declaration of “LIGHTNINGROD!” she releases all that energy in one blast down to the ground through her body… only for, after a brief emerald surge in Maple’s aura, the attack to be halted and redirected away, with a sudden telekinetic push being enough to finally send her out of bounds.
Maple catches the girl before she ends up in the water, gently placing her down on the outside of the ring. “Good work, you’re getting better, but again, gotta watch your stamina a bit more.”
“Maple wins the first round!” Baba declares.
With most of you all getting through the grub, you think to mention to Goku. “Say, when you fought your Grandpa here… did he wear a mask?”
“Oh yeah, I think Great Grandpa mentioned doing something like that.” your brother recalls.
“Haha, yeah… he wore a fox mask when we fought.” Goku confirms, smiling nostalgically.
“Wanna wear something like that for these?”
He grins wide. “Sure!”

>>6253615 After making him a monkey one, you see the next challenger. The wolfgirl, Winnie, who lets out a howl after leaping into the ring. It looks like Gohan’s finished with his food and raring to go, and mom might be willing to let ‘em try.
>A. Actually, mind if I step in, guys? Did see what she could do back at the World Tournament, but I’d like to see how she’s improved too >B. Cheer on Gohan! You can do it bro! >C. Cocoa, mind doing a little makeup for me too? >D. Something else? That said, again,

I wanna share my headcanon with you real quick, I think that in other realities when Goku isn't around her Tripitaka gets shot by the "Yellow Wind" demon, who in reality is a former fellow disciple at her monastery and acting in a jealous bid for him to tarnish her position as the chosen one and prevent her from bringing the scrolls back to the monastery. But since Goku is escorting her in this timeline, he gets in the way and gets shot, and then Tripitaka gets pissed and kicks the everloving crap out of Yellow Wind because she's also stronger from having to keep up with our Goku.
Thank you for playing as well, the feeling you put in your write-ins is top notch and your delving into the deep lore for gotcha moments shows a great deal of studying is at play. You bring a lot to the table!

>>6253616 My suggestion for the face painting is Dia de los Muertos style, white face with black eyeliner and nose and lipstick, and on one of our cheeks is a red mitama / ghost flame that looks vaguely like a red chili pepper with a spiral in the middle.
>>6253720 My reasoning with going for Primal here is that this is a very controlled environment with experience helping hands on deck, and it's likely Winnie could offer advice on how to control lycanthropy. You do have a point that there are a bunch of innocent bystanders around here like Peppa's lover and her family and that line of rich people-
...yeah we gotta look out for our loved ones, most important thing, but at least our loved ones can all fly to safety. Still, thanks for pointing out an alternative!
>>6253752 I don't think it's our place to write-in stuff for other characters / the QM to do and we have a player character for a reason.
That said I do think you're onto something. If the ghouls got some cheap shot KOs in on our crew, the ones who already won a match and are a little drunk on victory, that feels like a way more respectable showing for them doing their job than it would be with us bowing out for being too strong and wanting to give our teammates a go on the punching bags. Something like this would even allow for Phanty to face both Gohan and Izumi instead of just one!

>>6253616 “You can do it bro! Kick some butt out there!” you cheer on your brother.
“Just don’t make Phanty jealous~” Izzy teases.
He just shakes his head and hops off to the ring. You next think to ask Cocoa, “Say, mind doing a bit of makeup for me? Might be nice to have a little ‘mask’ of my own.”
“You’re lucky I came prepared.” she jokes, getting out a makeup kit from a Capsule.
As Gohan heads over, he thinks for a moment, asking mom, “Say, think you can do a little something for the fight?” Mom and Winnie both end up curious about what he’s about to ask, with Gohan going, “You remember that Lunar Siren thing you have? Think you can up the ante a bit with it?”
Winnie actually chuckles. “Oh she won’t need to do that, Gohan.”
That… is a curious remark. Maple looks over at you, then gulps as she remembers Goku over there, quickly Clothes Beaming him a pair of shades over his mask. “Heeey can you keep those on for a bit?”
“Ehehe, I guess?” He takes them off and looks at them for a moment, commenting. “Oh hey, just like Master Roshi wears.” He then puts them back on and flashes a victory sign, chuckling.
Directing the two to take their positions, Baba once more calls out, “Match… BEGIN!”
https://youtu.be/oQ2QgcRrWlc?si=vm2PSXWkI9zAyfKO Gohan takes a defensive stance, and actually closes his eyes. But instead of taking the initiative, Winnie forms a sphere of energy in her palm, one you and Izzy both notice is filled with Light and even Ice Magic, then tosses it into the air. A Power Ball… one like the Lunar Siren variant, but not quite. “Burst open and SHINE!” Winnie commands of the sphere, with it brilliantly glowing high up in the air… yet it’s shining a spotlight down at her, chilling the air around her slightly. Winnie actually seems to bulk up slightly, her power increasing at least tenfold, with a white and shining aura surrounding her. “You can open your eyes, none of this will get you… at least not unless you wanna try taking that power for yourself. Be warned though, it’s a little chilly.”
Now that’s interesting. “Hey, no squinting.” Cocoa requests, booping you on the nose with one of her brushes. You do your best to stay still as you observe, watching intently. Winnie uses her newfound strength and speed to try to get the upper hand on him, though Gohan’s able to read her very well, just like mom with Elsa. Her Ki blasts though end up packing more of an unexpected punch, each one detonating with an almost disorienting flash of light, almost amplified by them freezing some of the moisture in the air from the sudden chill coming off of them. Gohan picks up on this and goes back to fending her off with his eyes closed, trying to avoid any sudden frigid flashbangs as best he can.
“Gotta say, that’s not a bad idea, pretty clever of her.” Izzy praises, now wearing a pair of shades herself. “Pairs well with Elsa’s little setup.”

>>6254139 The werewolf girl feints multiple blasts toward your brother, getting them past him and hitting the puddles of water on the arena, freezing them and keeping up the flashing effect. He nearly slips on a couple as he tries to dodge her attacks, and after she thinks she’s got him on the ropes, she slashes with shining yet frigid claws in an attempt to get him out of the ring. Gohan though is able to predict that, and instead of making contact with him, she hits an afterimage that detonates. Knocked back, she sees your brother charging up energy in his hand and standing underneath the fake moon.
“So you are trying to take that power for yourself? Well it won’t work!” Winnie takes in a deep breath, leaping into the air until she’s right below the glowing sphere. She then lets out a howl that ends up taking the form of a more frigid breath attack, boosted by the full power of her fake moon.
But turns out it’s just what Gohan was waiting for, as he then leaps into the air, his fist coated in flaming power, uppercutting Winnie with a yell of “SHINRYUKEN!” It connects and sends her into the sphere, shattering it, with her sent flying out of the arena and into the water.
“Gohan wins the second round!” Baba declares.
He floats on over and offers her a hand to pull her back up. “Honestly almost caught me off-guard a few times there. You’ve got a solid strategy, just need to refine it.” your brother tells her.
Once out of the water, and after shaking herself off, Winnie just smiles at him. “I’ll get ya next time you challenge me, just you wait!”
“Looking forward to that.” he declares, the two fist-bumping.

>>6254140 With your makeover done, and you with some nice facepaint on, you think to ask Goku (who is still wearing the shades even with the fight over), “Say, did you ever meet a Tripitaka back home?”
“A Tripawhata?” he questions.
“Uh, dad took to calling her ‘Trip’. Lady who ended up studying under the previous Kami and eventually became our new Kami.” you try to explain. He still doesn’t seem to get it. “Blue hair, smart, strong-willed…”
He pauses, then asks hesitantly, “...Bulma?”
“Nah our Bulma’s different from her.” Izzy denies. “Different hair especially.”
“Mmmm… nope! Sorry, don’t know someone like that.” Goku says nonchalantly.
Maple looks at him with a sad smile. “…I guess it’s not really a constant or anything.”
“Well… I think you’d like her. Dad used to kinda treat her like an aunt or something.” you tell Goku.
Meanwhile, the next fighter starts to make her way in. A small mummy girl, Tanis. Izzy takes off her shades and asks you, “Any of you wanna test her? I still wanna see how Phanty’s doing, so might be a good chance for you guys to go for it.”
You and Goku look at one another.

>>6254143 Okay, but looks like others are still wanting to keep this going.
And now, we're back!
>>6254141 “I’ll take on Tanis.” you speak up. “Sibella will likely be last among this group, and I think you’d get a good fight out of her, Goku. I’d like to see what you can do as yourself, not under the influence of some outside force.”
Goku nods and gives a thumb’s up. “All right! Sounds like a plan to me!”
As you stand and stretch for a bit, you think to ask Izzy, “That empowering focus Winnie was able to use was pretty neat, think you could pull off something like that?”
“No doubt about it.” she confirms confidently.
“Good luck Peppa!” Cocoa cheers.
As you approach the ring, you think to ask Baba, “Just a rule clarification, if I use multi-form, will it be a ring-out if any of them exit the ring, or only if all of them do?”
“Any copy of yourself leaving the arena is still a part of you, just as if your head touched the water or sand outside instead of your whole body.” she explains.
“Got it, thanks.” You hop into the ring, Gohan fist bumping you as head out himself.
The little mummy girl stands before you, her eyes closed. Under her breath, she mumbles, “Okay, just like I practiced…” She tries to stand as confidently as possible, declaring, “Your group has bested two warriors this far, and now you stand before Tanis of the Ancients.” Her eyes open, a flaming glow coming off of them. “Should you believe yourself capable of overcoming my power, stand ready, but be warned, I am no easy foe.” She’s very formal, direct, and stoic… something that drops for a moment as she looks over to her defeated friends and Maple, who all give her encouraging nods and gestures. She sighs in relief, then takes on the stoic, serious demeanor again.
“Match… BEGIN!”
All right, here you go!

https://youtu.be/qNH76pocCrg?si=K0630U_NWaot4CZP You take up a defensive stance, but also prepare to set up some traps of your own. They’ve been pretty reliant on using the ring to their advantages, best to make sure they don’t get too comfortable with it. Tanis’ aura flares up around her, and even soars into the sky, parting the clouds as she sun shines down on her. It then takes on a curious shape… with what look like wings of blazing energy forming on her back, spreading wide. It’s not as much an increase as Winnie’s, but there’s a noticeable boost in her power, and more importantly you notice the whole arena’s starting to heat up, and there’s also something else you can tell she’s hiding in reserve.
Instead of charging you, Tanis lifts a hand up, and a trail of blazing pillars erupt from the ground, moving toward you. Dodging, you set a Ki mine close to where they left a trail, though you have to do it carefully as to not accidentally get burned. The mummy girl keeps her distance, sending more scorching pillars your way, trying to keep you at a distance, setting more Ki mine traps. After a few more, she suddenly stops and materializes an hourglass in her other palm. Instead of sending it at you, she sends it into the air, flying up and taking aim with a gun-shaped hand and hitting it with a Fire-enhanced Geist Magnum. The glass shatters, and yet from it comes a whole torrent of sand, scorching hot and swirling around like a miniature sandstorm around the arena.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6254738 Oh, that’s clever. It’s even being controlled by her Magic, not bad! Even with your goggles on, it’d be harder to see her movements, and with Magic effectively surrounding you, it’s just a bit harder to sense them too. That, and she seems to be hiding several Fire-enhanced Spirit Bits too, hiding them in the sandstorm, with you having to worry about blasts from them coming all around too. The ambient temperature also keeps rising, to say nothing of how it’s getting harder and hard to ignore the heated sand she’s trying to hit you with too. Additionally, those flaming wings of hers seem to add a degree more mobility even in an environment like this, the girl’s agility increased while also giving good reason to try to not get too close, lest one end up burned by them as well.
You’re not getting overwhelmed so easily though. After punching one of the Spirit Bits taking aim at you toward her with a Rasenken, you let out an Explosive Wave enhanced with Wind to push back the sand. Tanis, still up in the sky with you, attempts to conjure up a flaming serpent to send at you, but before it can coil around you, you’re behind her. “So the wrappings as a bit of a stand-in for a hairdo, huh? Not bad honestly. You do that yourself-” She backs away and tries to redirect the serpent, which now has blazing sand surrounding it. You avoid it with ease and continue, “-or was that mom’s doing?”
“Oh it was something I wanted to try out, I thought it looked cute and-” she tries to respond in a much more upbeat voice before stopping herself and stoically trying to respond, “I-I mean, do not be distracted with such details, Champion of Earth.” She sends several extending bandages your way, attempting to grapple you with them and send you back into the heated sandstorm. Instead, you grab on to them and fling her back down, right at one of your Ki mines. She gets knocked away, but keeps trying, using her wrappings again to try to grapple you, only for the same result to occur, as she hits another. Finally she tries a more direct attack, this time taking the broken hourglass that’s still spewing sand by the bandages and trying to set it upon you, only for you to send her away with another Wind-boosted Explosive Wave, once more knocking her into a mine and sending the hourglass into the oasis.
The sandstorm dies down as she flops onto the arena floor, letting out a soft groan. “Ohhh… I… I give… oww…”
“Peppa wins the third round!” Baba declares.

Sorry about the delay, everyone, passed out.
>>6254563 You help Tanis up and lead her out of the ring, telling her, “You fought well. Nice work.”
“Thank you…” she replies humbly, fairly drained from the fight. As you leave the ring though, you feel a bit of a breeze start to pick up, the still warm air flowing around you all. A spectral head pokes out of the ground for a moment near Baba, who gives a nod, with a ghostly hand poking out next and giving a thumb’s up.
Finally, the ghostly form of Phantasma floats up from the arena floor, laughing eerily. “Hahahahaha… so you’ve made it through three of us so far, but your next match might be the most frightful yet!~ Ehahaha!~ Who will be the next challenger?” The winds start to pick up, swirling around her as she floats there, chuckling.
Izzy walks forward casually, with her hand raised up. You high-five your cousin, then think to ask Tanis, “Have you considered trying to mix in some Wind Magic with your stuff too? That blazing sandstorm is already a pretty solid combo, throwing in just that little bit more would help a lot.”
“I’ve tried it before, but it’s hard to harmonize it properly…” she admits. “Just conjuring that much sand for the sandstorm at a constant rate like that is pretty hard on its own, but I wanna try that some day.”
“Nice! Maybe you could start by trying to mix the elements first, then applying it to the sand.” …You think to check the makeup Cocoa did for you. Still… mostly good, okay. Didn’t get sandblasted off of you. …Also might need to worry about an actual sandblasting attack, that could get REALLY nasty. “How about those flaming wings? They’re pretty cool. I think Pantea has something like that, but not quite to the same level.”
“I was actually inspired by her. It’s the result of my attempt to add in more mobility and defense at the same time. She said something about the utility of some… ‘Wings of Light’ I believe she called it. It was hard to replicate the kind of power she was talking about through normal Ki, so I tried to supplement its effect with Magic.”

>>6254861 “Ahh, clever. Well, good luck with trying to master those skills!” You sit back down beside Cocoa, who checks over your makeup again, giving it a few touch-ups. As she does, you ask Goku, “What do you think of the competition so far? What’s your read on them?”
“Hmm… their skills are impressive, I think they’d all put up a pretty decent challenge before my training with Vegeta individually. Being able to build up on each other’s matches is also pretty smart.” he replies. “I do wonder what it’d be like to go against all of them at once though. I can tell they’ve got some pretty good teamwork even as they fight individually. Heheh, reminds me of when Krillin and Yamcha and I came up with some pretty good team attacks. Vegeta and I have been able to pull off some pretty good ones too. The Final Kamehameha we’ve been able to pull off packs a wallop!”
“Vegeta willing to not just cooperate with someone for a team attack, but actually planning them out, is a little surprising to hear.” Acer remarks.
“How about you guys? You come up with any good combos?” Goku inquires.
“Well, mom and I have been able to pull off a double, and even triple Shinespark before, and Izzy and I have actually put together a few good combo attacks.” your brother replies.
“Keli and I have also come up with some pretty good combos.” you add in.
“What about all together?” Goku questions.
Mom blinks, thinking over it. You and Gohan look at one another, then over toward Izzy as she starts up a more theatrical start to her fight. You… all haven’t really tried that yet. Should you…?

>>6255012 Yep, sorry, was supposed to be Maple.
>>6255304 Hah.
>>6255325 Being a bit extra helps sometimes.
Anyway, we're back!
>>6254862 “So Phanty, you think you’re ready to face me?” Izzy asks.
“I should be the one asking yoooouuuuuu that!~ Hehehehe!~” she replies with a ghostly giggle, the winds around her swirling stronger. “I know you are plenty powerful, Izumi, but I think this’ll be a surprise even for you! You now face Phantasma, of the Haunting Host~!”
“Match… BEGIN!”
Phantasma’s Ki rises, but instead of just her own strength increasing substantially, her energy seems to spread out into the returning storm clouds overhead, with spectral shapes taking form in them. At first little wisps of energy, which your brother recognizes. “Huh, so she’s starting off with that?” he questions.
“Starting with what?” Goku asks.
“She’s been able to show off some ghostly constructs to me before. Lots of ways she can modify them too, using them like a Multi-Form or even as pursuing explosives.” he responds. “…Something feels a little different about these though.” he notes next.
“Lot more Magic in them.” Maple agrees.
You can sense it too. Wind Magic is present in the storm, but also Lightning, Fire, even Shadow Magic. And more importantly, your cousin can sense it too. She actually seems rather impressed by it. “Hey, not bad! All this is pretty well harmonized.” Izzy praises.
“Hehehehe, well of course! After all, this is Haunt…” She starts to dance around the arena as the spectral storm starts to take shape, now a multitude of spectral figures all circling around in the sky. “…is rather WILD!”
https://youtu.be/xTNMKZWd7tk?si=Knx7u2uSvHBnnc1Z As if on command, the ghostly storm descends upon Izzy, with her carefully dodging and avoiding them as best she can while also trying to observe them, cautiously but curiously. Copies of Phantasma, alongside many other spectral forms of different people, try to bombard her from all directions, some trying to hit her with electrified Geist Magnums, some with Phantom Sparks, explosions of flame from Will O’ Wisps, some trying to grab onto her and self-destruct into bursts of Wind, some trying to bind her in place with Shadow Magic. All the while, Phantasma herself has actually lowered her Ki and is… taking a page out of your book by staying IN the arena, literally, as her head pokes just a bit above the surface.
Izzy remains unphased by the assault countering the Magics each of the spectral copies of the ghost girl throw at her and even using some of her own to ward them off, her barrier especially keeping them at bay with relative ease. “So while this is pretty clever, I can’t say it’s all that surprising. You’re good, Phanty, but you’d know better than to try to best me using JUST Magic. I’m way better the Magic user than you are.” she boasts.

>>6255357 “Yeah, I know, I know.” she acknowledges, poking her head up. “But- WHAT’S THAT BEHIND YOU?!”
Multiple ghostly forms merge into one, a phantom in the shape of a giant skeleton looming over her. Izzy though doesn’t even turn around, dodging its attempt to grab her and instead sending an MP Buster at Phantasma, who just narrowly dodges it by ducking her head under the floor again. “This is VERY costly a technique in the long term, and something like that could be a pretty easy counter to it if it hits.” your cousin instructs. “Being fair, not a lot of people are gonna be on MY level. But it’s something that only really works when you’ve got more of an element of surprise.”
Phantasma floats out of the arena with a thoughtful look on her face… yet there’s something ever so off about her, you notice. “Hmm… this IS taking a lot of energy. I think I still have the element of surprise though.”
“...Phanty I can see you right there. You’re transparent, not invisible.” Izzy tells her bluntly.
“You do…?” she asks, head tilted as she casually floats forward.
…And for just the briefest of moments, with your cousin’s guard down, she makes one minor mistake. Not noticing that there was something else in that skeletal construct. “Both of me?” a second Phantasma asks her. An ACTUAL copy. Izzy turns around finally and tries to send out Spirit Bits at the copy, yet that’s when the Phantasma behind her jumps into your cousin’s body in attempted possession, with the Spirit Bits taking aim at Izzy herself in the confusion. She ends up firing on herself, which knocks her down for a bit, Phantasma exiting her body feeling dazed, but she and her copy grab onto Izzy by the legs and fling her out of the arena. Your cousin tries to stop herself, straightening herself in midair… yet she ends up with her head skidding across the ground, only barely avoiding falling into the water, her arms and legs flailing in an attempt to stabilize herself.
“Izumi loses the fourth round!” Baba declares.
Phantasma and her copy look at one another, almost surprised that actually worked, but doing a celebratory little dance. Izzy sighs, crossing her arms. “Well damn.”
Phanty floats over, helping your cousin back up. “Ssssssorry if that was a little cheap?” she tries to say.
“Eh, my bad for being overconfidnet.” she admits, walking on over. “…Suddenly starting to know how dad feels sometimes.” she adds under her breath. Gohan gives you a glance but makes no comment.
“Looks like I’m up.” Goku declares. “Unless any of you want another go?”

>>6255359 With a cheeky grin, you turn to your girlfriend, and say, “Cocoa, your opponent’s weak! Get ‘em!”
She gently bonks you on the top of the head, turning to try and hide a laugh. “You dork.”
“Your dork.” you say teasingly. “But nah, she’s all yours, Goku! Show ‘em what you can do!”
He nods, hopping to his feet, then leaping over to the arena. “Hi! I’m Goku! Nice to meet ya!” he greets with a raise of one hand, then clasps them together and bows. “Let’s give this our best!”
“Hehehe, I’ll do just that, but be warned, just because I got Izzy out through that, doesn’t mean I’ll be pulling the same spooky trick twice!”
He smirks. “Counting on it.”
Baba once more holds up her hand. “Match… BEGIN!”
https://youtu.be/ZKxunL2cbng?si=quWrmUu2jRSoO9Po Phantasma does once more start up the spectral horde, but instead of sending them all at Goku at once, she has them kinda on standby, floating back a bit and actually going on the defensive. He takes that as signal to try going on the attack, and so as his aura flares up around him, Goku brings both hands together, energy flowing into his hands. And once more, he makes that construct of the Power Pole, though the flames surrounding it are noticeably more controlled, focused. Goku dashes into the air, swinging the Ki staff around and blocking several attacks aimed at him. He leaps around and rebounds against each of the constructs, cleverly even getting them to accidentally attack one another. All the while he has a big, excited grin on his face.
“Heh, same old Goku.” mom comments with a nostalgic smile on her face.
After fighting through the spectral host, Goku ends up above the storm clouds and starts twirling his Ki staff with greater ferocity than before, hard enough that it actually pushes back Phantasma’s constructs. The ghost girl attempts to surround him with Spirit Bits, trying to trap him within them. With the sun at his back, his power surges up, and he flings the staff high into the air, descending down and avoiding Phantasma’s new trick with ease, and instead catching and flinging them all back at the constructs. And he goes a step further, actually sending the constructs at Phantasma, overwhelming her with her own attack.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6255436 She ends up having to use the Spirit Bits she sent to encircle Goku to instead shield herself, which still takes a bit to properly protect her and even then the assault is relentless. All the while you feel some energy building up above them both. A lot of energy. When Goku finally ends up near her, she tries to being up her guard. Goku though just stops, giving her a big grin, and points upward. Phantasma looks up, and so do all of you, noticing that Goku’s Flaming Power Pole construct hasn’t vanished. It’s instead turned into a massive, flaming pillar, descending upon her, larger than most skyscrapers, and more importantly… potentially just a little overkill with how much power it’s putting out.
“...O-oh crapbaskets.” she whimpers.
The pillar hits her out of the sky and right into the oasis, where it fizzles and fades. Goku lands on the arena and rubs the back of his head, awkwardly laughing and going, “Ehehehe, I… think I might’ve overdone it. You okay?”
Phantasma floats up from the water, dazed and in pain, but laughing weakly. “I think I heard King Yemma yelling at me for messing up the ledger… hahaha… ha…”
Baba stares, then clears her throat. “...Ahem. Son Goku from another realm wins the fifth round! One final challenge remains!”
Goku places his hands on his hips, asking, “You guys want me to take this one on too, or any of you wanna tag out?”

I was hoping Phantasma could pull off a win by besting Izumi, but Izumi didn't give her best. She refused to take her friend and the fight seriously, and lost because of that. And now she's fallen under the family psychosis that one loss in a friendly bout makes her a lesser than! It all reads like she really wanted to bully Phanty here and washed out instead. Shameful display.
Kato, please, will this part be wrapping up soon?
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
Apologies, something came up after I got home. We're up now though
>>6255439 Thinking for a moment, you get a little smirk as you come up with something a bit… different. “...I actually have an idea I think everyone here will find interesting.” you bring up. “Hey, Phantasma! Goku here brought up something he picked up on while watching you guys fight! Have you and the rest of the Ghouls worked on any direct combo attacks?”
The ghost girl is shocked by the question, turning to Goku and asking, “Wha… h-how did you…? I mean yeah but…”
He rubs the back of his neck. “Ehehe, it’s just from how you all built on your techniques, I could tell there was a lot of really solid teamwork.”
“Think you and the others are up for a 5 v 2 to finish this off? If Baba’s willing, of course.” you ask.
The little witch woman rubs her chin, intrigued. “Well, that certainly would be a more entertaining display…” She snaps her fingers. “I will allow it. Ushers!”
The ghostly pink ushers get to work healing up the Ghouls, with you looking to mom and Gohan, asking, “It okay if I’m the one that teams up with him for this?”
“Hey, go for it. You brought the idea up after all. Besides, you two match with the mask and makeup.” Gohan responds, with Maple giving an approving nod.
“Plus the both of you were the ones that want to ask Baba something.” Izzy adds. “So, makes sense that it’s the two of you to finish this off.”
Goku gives a thumb’s up. “I’m game. Let’s do this!”
As you get in the ring beside him, the rest of the Ghouls enter as well, the four of them standing together with a shadowy pillar forming from the ground in front of them. “Son Peppa… Son Goku from another realm… so you have chosen to face us all together, have you? Very well. I, Sibella, Vampire Queen of the Shadows, shall accept and lead my friends in this final challenge! Ghouls, with me! Let’s school these two!”
“YEAH!” they cheer in unison. They all start to power up, the stormy clouds returning. You and Goku stand together, taking your own stances, confident but nonetheless excited.
“Final match… BEGIN!” Baba declares.
Winnie starts things off by forming another False Moon, though she works with Tanis to empower it further, the pair sending up two spheres and yelling out, “RADIANT ECLIPSE!” Above you all, the False Moon shines in front of a sort of “False Sun” and doing exactly what the pair said, causing an eclipsed yet glowing power that strengthens all five of the girls. Elsa and Phantasma meanwhile bring together their thunderstorm and spectral hosts, electrified clouds with hordes of ghosts dancing through them up above. Finally, a dark aura surrounds Sibella, with shadowy, bat-like wings sprouting from her back, the sky darkening more.
(cont.)
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6255928 Winnie and Tanis try to rush Goku, the former attempting to keep him at bay with frigid flashbang Ki blasts while the latter sends out streams of burning sand toward him. You meanwhile are accosted by Elsa and Sibella, the former pulling off her arm and throwing it at you with a yell of “ROCKET PUNCH!” as the latter attempts to surround you with a spectral assault from all around. Goku’s Ki Power Pole deflects the attacks sent at him, while you dodge the onslaught even as the ghostly warriors, even as they redirect Elsa’s electrified arm like a mildly morbid game of ping-pong. And with the two of you trying to fend off their attacks, Sibella finally surrounds you and Goku both with a surge of Shadow Magic, attempting to dull your senses and drain your energy through it, all the while the others keep up their assault.
You and Goku end up with your backs to one another, and after exchanging a brief glance, the two of you power up, then both of you let out an Explosive Wave, yours enhanced with Wind, that pushes the shadows back. At the same time, you both yell out, “JAN KEN!”
“Rock!” you use Instant Transmission to teleport to Elsa and knock her back Winnie, while Goku knocks one of the copies of Phantasma into Tanis.
“Scissors!” You catch a frigid chop from the werewolf girl after she recovers between two fingers, throwing her into the stream of sand the mummy girl keeps trying to produce, while Goku does the same with an electrified chop from the patchwork girl, the flaming energy in his hand keeping her from numbing his limb, sending her at the main copy of the ghost girl.
“PAPER!” the two of you finish off, appearing in front of Sibella and hitting her with a double palm strike that sends her skidding across the floor.
“D-damn… they’re even stronger than they seemed…” the Vampire girl grunts. “Ghouls! Cover and form up!”
You form a Ki Drill as Goku readies his Ki Power Pole, an all out assault of Ki blasts and Magical attacks coming from all around. Spectral kamikaze attacks, freezing attacks sent at the floor to try to make it slippery, spheres of molten glass to try to keep you both from pursuing, powerful storming winds pushing down to keep the both of you from going too high, blasts of Lightning to try to stun the two of you, even shadowy bats attempting to drain your energy. You and Goku dodge, deflect, and counter the attacks as best you can, but as you do, you notice that the Ghouls have all gathered in a circle.
(cont.)
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6255930 https://youtu.be/JZP0icbsqDg?si=UdPOmcGlabyMwyvx You actually hear a slightly excited gasp from Maple as the five start, declaring as they dance in unison, “Fuuuuuuusion… HA!”
The arena floor cracks and shatters as an eruption of energy bursts from the resulting fusion of the five, with enough force that it actually knocks you and Goku back. Showing features of all five, the new Ghoul Fighter rushes at you with speeds that even you can’t easily keep up with, forcing you into Super Saiyan to keep pace. You try your best to block her attacks, but it’s only barely enough to keep pace with the warrior, and even then you end up feeling like you’re on the back foot. Goku too finally has to pull out his own Super Saiyan state, different from the blazing form he took against you, though you can still see hints of its power in there.
Even with the both of you transformed, it’s a struggle to keep up, which ends up all the harder as she goes for one final finishing blow, the Magic Eclipse shining down on her and transforming her into a more monstrous form, a mix of bat-like, canine, spectral, skeletal, and patchwork features amped up to 11, letting out a brilliant kaleidoscope of Magical Energy and Ki from her hands and mouth. You and Goku avoid the brunt of it, with the power flying off into the desert, clipping a mountain before continuing off into space. Still… you and Goku manage to make it through that, and with that fused power starting to run out, you both rocket at the fighter, you ready to use Forced Spirit Fission and Goku having apparently drawn some of the combined Magical power from that beam and ready to send it right back at her.
Your attacks land, and the five Ghouls separate, all knocked to the ground, exhausted and down for the count. Baba floats over to you all, first taking a look at the five, then at you and Goku, the both of you still standing. She holds her hand up and declares, “Son Goku and Son Peppa win the final round!”
You and Goku turn to one another, Goku lifting up his mask and grinning proudly, with the both of you sharing a fist bump. The Ghouls all sigh, with Sibella commenting, “And here I thought we had you two…”
“That was an awesome attack though! I’ve only heard about people combining like that from Piccolo!” Goku cheers. “If it were just me, I don’t know if I could handle all that.”
Maple walks over next, telling them, “That you were able to pull off the Five Fighter Fusion like that means you all did a fantastic job. Proud of you girls.”

>>6256001 It would take a long while for her to get through it all.
Also apologies, passed out while writing again.
>>6255932 You give it some thought, looking at Goku and asking, “You mind if I go first?”
“Nah, you’re good.” Goku responds.
“Anyone else? You guys have any things you’d like to ask Baba about?” you ask next, looking back at mom, Gohan, Izzy, and Cocoa.
Izzy crosses her arms and says, “I do, but you should go first, Peppa.”
“Same.” your brother agrees.
You turn to Baba. Okay, here it goes… “All right, well, could you let me know more about… my daughter, the girl I ended up naming Reapa. Not where she is now, but what she’s been through ever since coming into the world.”
https://youtu.be/hNxpDaULjEs?si=cm86DI72uXktS9qX Baba nods, and waves her hands over her crystal ball, with your family, girlfriend, and the curious and very confused Ghouls trying to gather around. An image forms after a bit, one showing the swirling, shadowy masses coalesce into… her. Into Reapa. She doesn’t have that same outfit she had when she met you properly, instead it’s more a black jumpsuit. She seems to look in the direction you… were when you escaped. Majin Ozotto is there, furious, screaming out your name, and it takes him a moment before he notices the white-haired lookalike of you awkwardly floating above the broken Hakkero. She’s… confused, and concerned, though not fully frightened yet. Ozotto stares at her awkwardly for another moment, then seems to grin maliciously. He takes on an affable, cordial demeanor as he floats toward her, trying to ask her who, what, she is.
Her first word is… “Hungry.” Heh. Of course.
Majin Ozotto takes her away from the devastated Hakkero and leads her elsewhere. There are a few short moments of her being offered food while he tries to plan what to do with her, and instead of staying around while he’s scheming, Reapa wanders off, stomach full and leaving with a simple “Thanks!” as she tries to leave. Majin Ozotto realizes she’s trying to leave, but the moment she wonders where the exit is, she just… decides to make one, blasting a hole out of Ozotto’s palace and flying out there, with the Majin wincing in sudden pain.

>>6256052 Reapa proceeds to wander around for a while, fighting a few monsters, playing pranks on some minor demons, stealing clothes for a time before she realizes she has the Clothes Beam and starts designing her own stuff, starting with that hat. She also starts to pick up on some of your memories, clearly, as she sometimes sneaks around some of Beelzebub’s raids on Dabura’s army, stealing from both groups while doing her best to remain undetected. You… also find out that she very much was aware of your own little visits to help Beelzebub and his forces out. She never tries to engage directly, watching from afar, that confused look on her face turning sour.
That’s when she starts acting out a bit more. You see her dine and dash on those soldiers, more actively harassing soldiers and especially Ozotto as he tries unsuccessfully to wrangle her, picking fights with thugs and stealing their stuff, even her spotting Glorio on some kind of job before she ruins it and causes him to try to apprehend her… with it going very poorly for him as she beats him effortlessly. Reapa clearly seems to get a kick out of that, and does go a little overboard, leaving those she beats battered and frightened of her before she leaves them. She… also seems to be a bit of a flirt, even if her idea of flirting is… mildly childish, if you’re being honest. A couple girls she makes passes at do seem a little flattered if confused by her, while some seem to think she’s… an easy mark to scam or even take advantage of, only to find out she’s quite a good deal more clever than she appears.
Cocoa looks toward you, remarking. “…Well guess I’m not exactly surprised she got that from you.”
“Can’t say I am either. At… least she’s not overly aggressive with it.” The thought of having to talk to Reapa about relationships is quickly rising to one of the least pleasant ones that decide to occupy your mind. Especially given how you KNOW she’s gonna turn it around on you with the… everything involving the Hakkero.
Finally you see her in a ruined settlement overlooking a burly and powerful robot-like being… with a Dragon Ball in its chest. She sits there for a moment, staring at it curiously, but then starts focusing on something, placing her fingers on her forehead. Reapa’s intense focus pays off, as she uses Instant Transmission and appears before a different robot-like being, also with a Dragon Ball in its chest, in a different set of ruins over… the more oceanic world of the Second layer of the Demon Realm. She actually does a giddy little dance after succeeding, but leaves before the robot guy can question what she’s doing there.

>>6256054 “...Hmm. It would seem your ‘child’ is quite the rambunctious sort. Not the worst sort, but not one with much in the way of restraint.” Baba comments.
“I do feel like I know her a bit better, though.” you say, even if there’s so much more you’d like to know about the girl. “Thank you, Baba. This at least gives me a lot to start on.”
“Of course. Now, who shall be next?” she asks.
Cocoa pokes her fingers together, questioning, “I… gotta be honest, I am a little curious on how something like this works with the likes of like, lottery numbers, or gambling.” That gets a few looks from the others. “N-not that I want to know! It’s mostly just, like, how does being able to foresee the future affect things like that?”
“I can answer that, actually.” mom speaks up. “The future isn’t set in stone. I’ve gotten plenty of flashes of insight that don’t come to pass, either through active effort at preventing them or them not being the ‘right’ insight. Trying to get winning lottery numbers might end up with you purchasing the wrong ticket, or altering the odds on a horse race by betting on an unexpected winner, causing others to bet on that one too.”
“Do you have an actual thing you would like to know?” Baba mutters, eyes narrowing a bit.
“...could ask about looking for an acting coach I guess.” she mumbles under her breath. “No, no, nevermind.”
“I have one.” Gohan speaks up. “I was able to pick up on the presence of someone besides the spirit of Janemba within my sword, and he seems pretty chill, honestly. Are you able to give me any insight into such a person? Who they were, what might be able to help them?”
That catches even Baba’s curiosity, as she looks into the crystal ball again. “Hmm… it is a bit harder to get a proper read on this one, the spirit of Janemba is far more present within your blade. But…” As she focuses, you see… a red ogre guy at some old equipment, listening to a boombox of sorts while he works changing some evil-looking fluid. Except some of it spills onto the boombox, forming into a… demonic lady that has elements of said boombox. Gohan glances at the sword with a raised eyebrow.
The crystal ball next shows her being sealed away thanks to the efforts of some dead warriors, one telling the ogre guy to wear some headphones next time. …And next time he is doing just that, headphones on his ears, as the things containing that concentrated evil explode… and release Janemba around the ore. That… kinda answers a lot of questions, while raising others.
“...We’re gonna need to have more of a chat later.” Gohan tells his sword.

>>6256057 “Very well, now, Goku-” Baba tries to continue.
“Wait wait wait!” Izzy pleads as she interrupts. “Two questions, actually! First, are there any other dragons out there like Icarus? I haven’t really seen many, so I’m curious. Second, what can you show about the collapse of Ancient Nemurian civilization?” Baba gives her a heavy-lidded stare, with your cousin sheepishly adding, “…If you’re okay with that, Baba.”
“You’re lucky I’m being generous today, else I’d have you redo the challenge all on your own.” the elderly witch grumbles. First is relatively simple, there’s the image of another dragon with a more blue shade to its scales, larger than Icarus, but apparently beside the aforementioned dragon, with… an egg? Well. That’s a surprise. Second… is significantly less pleasant.
https://youtu.be/Qyuiujk1Sl0?si=415B4_V8dUoDaAbR A woman with blue hair in queenly regalia stands before a Magical circle, surrounded by priestly figures, arcane machines all around them. The… view gets hazy for a moment as light starts to fill the area, and the crystal ball… well, “glitches” is the best way to describe it. Images layered on top of other images, showing chaos and destruction raining down, a massive airship sinking beneath the waves, and even… images of creatures you’re sure match the description of the Astrabellua. And… one even seems to take on a more humanoid shape…
Baba gets spooked by what she sees and has it stop. “…Take this as a lesson, Izumi. Do not let those that helped bring about such mistakes of the past gain power again in the present.” she warns, showing an image of… you think that’s that Darutanias guy she rescued.
“...Noted.” Izzy agrees.
Finally, it’s Goku’s turn, who’s been waiting patiently… or rather, been watching along, fairly entertained, stuffing his face again. Gulping down the rest of a turkey leg, Goku makes his question, simple but clear: “Okay, Fortunesmeller Baba. Has anyone else besides me ended up going into this realm from that shard? …Or, has anyone from this realm entered mine?”

>>6256285 Those ideas are cool, but I would like to move on. I want Izzy's Gauntlet to happen, but for it do so offscreen and outside, where we just see rolls and sense how she's doing from inside. Or just skip to the end result. I'm real exhausted from the whole affair, but Izzy's showing was the only thing I can't help but lament. If she was written to be doing her best and still lost to someone besting her, that would be fine by me, but leaving things as they are would let rot set in with her.
Feel free to waive support, since what I want is not very flashy and all.

Anyway, we are back!
>>6256059 “That… is actually a very good question.” Baba admits, mildly surprised. “Give me a moment.”
It takes a little bit, with Baba finally finding the shard that brought this Goku here. And… it looks like only Goku ends up brought in to the Demon Realm. Goku himself seems relieved, glad that no one else ended up displaced here. But… then you all realize that the “shard” isn’t traveling downward, but at an angle slightly upward. The crystal ball tries to track it, and it moves between realms, passing across different layers of the universe, missing planets and stars and finally reaching an ominous, dark area covered in an icy landscape. It loses cohesion all the way through, but by the time it reaches that part, it comes across some kind of… container?
“...Oh no.” Maple breathes out.
“Please tell me that’s not a Mafuba container.” Gohan wishes.
Goku tilts his head. “Mafuba…? OH! Master Roshi told me about that once!” He then pieces together why they look worried. “…Something bad was sealed in there wasn’t it?”
“I need to check with a few people.” mom says, rubbing her head.
Goku blinks. “…Has this happened a lot?”
“Multiple times.” you confirm. “There was Churai, and Artificial Human 21, and…” You look over at Gohan and Maple. Oh. Oh right. They told you about that. “…Oh no.”
“Wow, you guys had a 21? Was it another old guy, or a clown guy, or…?” Goku squints. “…Is that what Cell calls himself here?”
You shake your head. “No, 21 was a different thing, some lady… wait, right! Mom, is it…?”
“Gods. Damn it.” Maple pinches the ridge of her nose. “…So at least the two at the Lookout are sealed away. Which means that’s him. Broly. OUR Broly.”
“Ehehehe… well at least he’s sealed up and …oh. Oh no.” Goku gulps nervously. “Baba, is that shard still there? …Were was it anyway?”
“Hell. The sealed Broly ended up in Hell after... a lot.” mom says.
Baba looks at the crystal ball again, saying, “...There may be a faint remnant of it. But that it lost that much power already…”
Izzy crosses her arms. “We might not have a lot of time.”

Dip Cocoa, smooch, and tell her you'll wear that dress and do the voice for her later, and "my husband won't be home until way late in the evening, but then again he could be home any minute~" I think we're making a big assumption with Reapa here. So in the anime, the Hakkero took in energy from all over Earth, and when it went out of control, it erupted and destroyed Castle Frypan to vent. Now, Ozotto's reactor took in spiritual energy from all of the realms, he said, so that is the Demon Realm, the Mortal Realm, and the Otherworlds too.
Now, we have a vivid picture of what happens when that flow of energy gets disrupted, our darling bundle of joy and spittle, Reapa. However, it is weird that with the energy of all the realms, Reapa grew horns. So my theory is this: Reapa grew horns and pointy ears, demon features, because the energy that was being tapped from the Demon Realm got blown out, and produced a spirit colored in Peppa's own right there in the immediate vicinity.
Now the assumption we've made is this: Reapa is the only offspring to come from this... but what if the other realms had something to say about that?
How many puppies with Peppa's face have sprung up in their own respective realms, how much ground does Peppa have to cover with her kids when there's more of them running around All of Creation? Anonymous

Hope that's a good enough compromise on the votes.
>>6256434 Okay. Need to think quick. This will be something that needs to be taken care of sooner rather than later. But… before you can try to commit to any of this, you pull Cocoa aside, asking her, “…I know we don’t have a lot of time, this just went from concerning to potential crisis, but today’s been a lot, so I wanna know, how are you feeling about… all of this?”
“And our daughter especially?” she asks, getting to heart of the matter.
You nod. “Yeah… we know so much more about Reapa, and yet it’s only given more questions and concerns. I… just wanna know how you’re feeling about all this.”
Cocoa sighs. “I’ll be honest, it hit all the harder after actually seeing her that… she really is the spitting image of you. Smart and energetic and she even does that same little confused stare you do sometimes.”
You blink. “…Confused stare?”
“Like that. Exactly.” Cocoa giggles. Huh, you… genuinely never realized. “Still, she’s clearly someone that takes after you, but isn’t just some ‘counterpart’ to you, not some sort of Army of Darkness-ish ‘Bad Peppa.’ She’s… your kid. She’s our daughter.” Cocoa holds both of your hands, telling you, “I’d be lying if I said I’m not anxious about this. I don’t know the first thing about being a parent.” She then adds under her breath, “And wow is breaking this to my own parents gonna be… intimidating.”
“Yeah. But it’ll be something we do together.” you say with a smile.
Cocoa smiles back. “Still. I’m gonna do what I can to accept her. She’s a kid, out there on her own, trying to find her place in the world, and probably a lot more lost and confused than she’s willing to admit.” She pulls you in close. “We’ll talk more when you get back. Now go out there and kick some ass, Peppa.”
You giggle and give her a kiss. “Will do. I’ll try to contact you again as soon as I can, Goggles, Telepathy, whatever method will work.”
“You lovebirds done already? Be overly cute on your own time!” Izzy calls out.
Cocoa lets you go and even gives you a gentle push, with you nodding at her before you turn to your cousin. “I’ve got an idea.”
“Better make it quick.” your cousin requests.
“We NEED to be on top of this, so getting the Time Patrol’s help will be paramount, but some of us need to head out immediately. Mom, you’d be the best at coordinating the backup, so you okay with staying here while we head out with Goku?” You walk over to your brother and cousin.

>>6256527 Maple almost hesitates, but nods. “I can. Gohan, Peppa, please stay safe out there. Izzy, I’ll contact brobro and Chi-chi and let them know.” She then looks at Goku, giving him a sad but confident smile. “…Best of luck to you too. You beat one Broly already, right? So I’m sure you can beat another, especially with their help.”
Goku confidently nods, holding out his fist. “For what it’s worth, I’m glad I got to meet ya, Maple. Hope you find your Goku again soon.” The pair bump fists.
“Everyone, gather around, gonna get directions.” Gohan asks. He closes his eyes as you, Izzy, and Goku place your hands on his shoulders and back. When he has a location locked, he declares, “…Kai Kai.”
https://youtu.be/muDdK21j3NM?si=l7Mj3VaSZoV2ZSPw The four of you appear in an icy tundra, what feels like a blizzard blowing all around you. Goku shivers a bit, but flares out his Ki to keep himself warm. Izzy walks forward through the snow, and after finding what she’s looking for, she holds out some Dreamstone crystals and sets them around in a specific arrangement, creating a Magic Circle again. She transforms into her Mahou state once more, and activates the ritual.
“Hey, what are you mortals doing here?!” a… small, elderly lady in garb similar to Annin’s demands. “This is the Freezing Tundra of Hell, no mortals-!”
“Sorry Lady…” Gohan thinks for a moment, the seems to recall her name, “Enma, right? But we’ve got a small crisis on our hands. Supreme Kai can vouch for us!”
“SUPREME KAI?!” she gasps, stepping back. “What…?!”
“There!” Izzy proclaims, opening up the gate to another world just like before. However, it’s much less stable, flickering slightly at the edges. On the other side, you see… a ruined landscape, with a white square arena with large spikes jutting out the sides of it visible in the distance, chunks of it missing. Crap. “Everyone, inside, now now now!” your cousin orders, hurrying you, Goku, and Gohan through.
Jumping through the bizarre show of lights and sounds, you all arrive in this world that seems and feels oh so familiar… and yet with an immediate difference. You can sense Broly’s power, and someone else’s as well, familiar, yet not. Goku’s eyes narrow as he recognizes it. “Cell.” he says seriously.
Turning your attention to the broken arena, you see the hulking form of Broly grappling with a slightly familiar bugman. Both of their auras flaring up, sparking electricity coming off of them. “How?! You aren’t supposed to be this strong! You aren’t even supposed to be ALIVE!”
“What’s wrong little bug, scared you’ll get SQUASHED?! AHAHAHAHA!” Broly threatens with malicious glee.
Well, they don’t know you’re here.

And to top it off, our goodbye with Cocoa doesn't fit her timetable so she has to trample on it? Why can't she just let us have our tender moment? Why does everything have to revolve around her at her convenience yet be someone else's fault when the world doesn't coddle to her? Is that seriously how we play her? Ugh.

I will admit I did find Izumi's comment about Acer concerning and I wish we could have hashed that out a bit ago, but the ball is rolling now and it would be awkward to stop it.
But the thing is, these are the thoughts of you and me. We're playing as Peppa right now, and she has her own thoughts. If you get offended by Izzy telling us to hurry up, but Peppa is cool with it, it's best to accept that's just how Peppa rolls and it would be killing her to go back and change it.
>>6256780 I can't agree with this take either. Saying a character is just saying what the QM is, or a character's words are just jiving with our comments, that undermines the QM's agency as a storyteller and the character's own capacity to be themselves, which the QM does both determine and adhere to.
So if Kato writes a character who's being a dick, that doesn't make Kato a dick, she's just writing a character whose capacity is to be a dick. If a character is being a dick, that doesn't mean the character is blameless for their nature because Kato made them so and therefore we shouldn't hate them, no, it means Kato used her agency to put that character there and thus inspire our character to kick him really, really hard.
>“…Suddenly starting to know how dad feels sometimes.” she adds under her breath. Gohan gives you a glance but makes no comment. One thing here, if these words spawned from anywhere, it wasn't this thread. I don't know if Kato got a bunch of DMs going "Now she knows how her father feels" but it definitely stuck out as something unexpected of Izzy. Also we do need to check with Gohan about that look, was it the look of "Yikes" or "Are you proud of what you do to people, you overachiever?"
With that out of the way, I do like the idea of Maple being here a lot more. It's her and her son and her daughter and this Goku all fighting as a team, and you gotta admit,
>>6256616 Maple has the biggest dog in this fight with Broly. I think including her would be a nice way to cap off their beef.
>>6256467 I do still think this was the best plan, but Maple didn't need to be the one to go get reinforcements. Someone else can go to the Time Patrol.
Anonymous
>>6256531 >>6256719 If allowed, I would like Maple here to settle the score with Broly alongside her family and this Goku.
Exen
>>6256828 >I do still think this was the best plan, but Maple didn't need to be the one to go get reinforcements. Someone else can go to the Time Patrol Fair. It was mostly a case of us being the ones rushing in and her in change of being smart with organization and shenanigans. Before coming in with the backup at a dramatic moment.
If the time patrol thing would take... time, then I would expect her to delegate. But at the same... time, not too many people are going to be able to just talk to them yannow?
Anonymous
>>6256828 That isn't what I meant, I mean she said here
>>6256527 that she hoped it was a good compromise on the votes. I don't really read Izzy's comment there as overly hostile toward Peppa, just her having a sense of urgency given what we just found out, and Kato using that concern that got voted on while still letting Peppa and Cocoa have their moment. I do get what you're saying though.
>>6256834 >>6256852 I will agree that I would like Maple to enter the fray too, be it soon after contacting the Time Patrol or as the head of a cavalry effort. Whatever works best going forward.

>>6256531 https://youtu.be/gbDgYgcV6x8?si=MJqzYzcKWo5zkrb0 “Goku, you know this place best, you know who to call and what to rely on, you take the lead. I’m gonna try keep Broly occupied to give you time to do what you need.” you declare, powering up and launching forward. You transform into Super Saiyan, then surge up even further into Super Saiyan 2, and finally just a bit beyond that form’s limits. As Broly starts to push the bugman back, you build up energy into your fist, then Wind Magic, as you roar out, “RASENKEN!”
It’s not quite the surprise attack you were planning for, Broly picks up on your Ki almost immediately, and instead of a clean hit it’s one he manages to block. You still hit with enough force that it actually sends him skirting to the edge of the arena. “You…!” Broly growls out, yet there’s a malicious smirk on his face. “You’re the OTHER brat… hahaha! HAHAHAHA!” His power starts rising, his hair spiked up even further and… growing longer. SHIT.
“Who in blazes are you?!” Cell demands. “Yet another one of you damnable monkeys?!”
“One who’s stronger than you, roach boy, and like it or not you’re the lesser evil right now.” You take a fighting stance, powering up even further as you go beyond a limit broken Super Saiyan 2, your own hair growing longer as well. “So if you value not being reduced to atoms with the rest of the universe, I suggest you help out or back down.”
“YOU INSOLENT…!” Cell’s ki surges up… and you notice that for as close it is to the Cell Sentai you know, it’s clearly made of different stuff. Vaguely familiar in some aspects, but not quite the same. What feels like Garlic Jr., King Cold, Cooler, Bojack, probably what you think is Lord Slug, and… at least something LIKE Broly but not quite the Broly before you, among other things. “You think YOU can order ME around! I am Perfection incarnate! I will not be ordered around by a bratty little Saiyan girl that-!”
The whole area flashes green as Broly charges two spheres of energy into his palms. “DIE!” Broly yells, firing the spheres at both you and Cell. You are able to stop the one sent at you, briefly using Forced Spirit Fission on it before sending it up into the stratosphere, where it detonates with planet-shaking force. Cell though isn’t as fortunate, as while he tries to block the one sent his way, it ends up overwhelming his defenses. Cell ends up sent away by the force of the attack, which finally explodes and eviscerates him. His broken bodyparts are sent all over the area… yet somehow he’s still alive. Broly is amused by this, laughing, “Fitting how the insect splatters so well! Hahahahaha!”

Oh, right, they have that combo they can do. Good, that will help a lot.
Broly takes several slow steps forward, arena cracking beneath his boots, grinning. “You’re even stronger though. Good. You won’t break as easily!”

>>6256983 So how was the flavor?
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6256942 Okay, gotta keep his focus off of everyone else. And you think you have a good idea on how. You dash at Broly and attempt to use Forced Spirit Fission to keep his energy from rising any further. There’s a problem: Broly’s not going to let you do that without a fight, and even with as strong and fast as you are, Broly’s able to keep pace with you, dodging your attacks, even if it’s with considerable effort. And he’s able to get in some solid counter-attacks, first slamming into you with a headbutt, then managing a fairly painful combo as he punches you up and down before sending you back with a hard kick that sends you flying into the air. He charges two spheres in his hands again, but this time brings them together.
“UAHAHAHAHAHA! FALL, WORM!” Broly roars, launching the attack as a devastatingly powerful beam. You however use Instant Transmission to get out of the way, and this time form a Ki Drill, digging around the arena and surrounding terrain, setting Ki Mines all over, using what little bit of Broly’s power you managed to get as a way to get them to lock on to Broly. “Stop squirming!” he yells, trying but failing to blast you as you continue to lay more mines.
You also try to gather up the bits of Cell that have scattered around the place, an arm here, a leg there, a wing over there, part of a torso… splattered on a cliff (ew), and attempt to put them all in one place, even using your energy to heal Cell up just a bit.
“You believe me now, Mr. Roach?” you ask.
Cell does end up putting himself back together and regenerating what you couldn’t find, though he holds his head in pain. “You… ngh… what are you?”
“A Champion of Earth. The Tuffest.” you respond with a smirk. “One who can put a dent in the big guy over there.” Turning around, you see Broly’s spotted you and Cell, with the whole area flashing green again as he starts to run toward the two of you. However, that’s when he triggers one of your Ki Mines, and gets hit with a genuine surprise attack that halts him for a moment. And with one active, the others have locked on to him, with you even helping direct them along so he ends up bombarded by them. Sadly after the first barrage, Broly is able to get up a barrier, enduring the dozen or so others that fly at him. Still, you did some actual, visible damage with that, just not enough to keep him down for long.
…also Cell still seems to be in a bit of pain, still holding his forehead. That’s… odd. And vaguely familiar…

>>6257021 You sense others arrive, looking back and spotting a… Vegeta, one in a blue jumpsuit and red cape, with the back of his hair tied in a bun, almost giving him the impression of having the rest of his hair as a crown. Beside him, a Trunks, one in armor with short shoulderpads, a red cape around his waist, who is shocked by power on display. And with them, a Piccolo, who… yeah that’s Piccolo, same outfit and all, though you notice that his eyes have taken on a red color.
“Kakarot where in the hell have you been?!” Vegeta demands. “How is Broly alive AGAIN!?”
“That’s not our Broly, it’s theirs.” Goku answers, gesturing at Gohan and Izzy.
“Hi, name’s Gohan, this is my cousin Izzy.” your brother greets, to the confusion of the others, the pair’s combo set. “That’s my sis Peppa over there. We all caught up? Good, let’s rock.”
Vegeta stares at him, while Trunks lets out a quiet but panicked, “Oh no, what did I do now…?”
Piccolo shakes his head, “Worry about that later, focus on the threat in front of us!”
“He’s way stronger than even Cell. We’ll need to work together to take him down.” Goku says.
Vegeta looks forward, boldly proclaiming, “Very well, if it’s bringing down another ruthless renegade I will be willing to lead the charge! Oh my honor as King of the Saiyans, ANOTHER LEGEND SHALL FALL!” He powers up into Super Saiyan, with Goku and Trunks doing the same, while Piccolo’s aura flares up red, though not the same red as the Kaio-ken, more of a reddish-orange color.
“Izzy, let’s give them all we can!” Gohan calls out.
“Hell yeah!”
https://youtu.be/xWN9ydsN5_8?si=F8WiD1bgJzRDiJXM As you take a moment to try to recover some stamina, they blast forward, and while individually none of them seem to have the kind of power needed to take down Broly, with Gohan and Izzy’s empowerment, they’re able to close the gap just enough to do some damage as well. Vegeta produces a Ki sword slashing at Broly multiple times, and while he doesn’t land any critical blows, he does actually force Broly to block. Trunks draws his own blade, comboing well with his father, taking much of Broly’s attention while also not really taking as much damage in retaliatory strikes. Piccolo sneaks in multiple blows from a distance while also blasting at Broly with eye beams. Finally, Goku forms flaming spheres in his hands, then brings them above his head combining them into one gigantic burning orb, his own aura taking on lashes of flame.
“SAMADHI… FIRE!”
Broly knocks all fighters away with an Explosive Wave, then flings a green sphere of energy at the massive burning orb. Both spheres clash in midair, almost evenly matched… though with Broly’s starting to gain ground. He laughs wildly. “HAHAHAHAHA! KAKAROT! IS THIS THE BEST YOU CAN DO?!”

>>6257024 Cell finally stops playing bystander, his power surging up again, this time even higher than before as a sparking aura flares up around him. Without a word, he appears next to Goku, holding his hand forward and lending energy to Goku’s flaming sphere. Goku’s surprised, but just nods, holding his own hand forward. The pair let out a mighty yell, and send as much power as they can into the attack, Goku’s hair taking on a flame-like state for a brief moment, finally sending the sphere down on Broly.
He’s sent flying across the landscape for kilometers, until finally the attack erupts into a pillar of flame that reaches up toward the heavens. Everyone takes a moment to catch their breaths. Goku looks at Cell and chuckles. “Ehehe, thanks! …Hey has that always been on your forehead?”
Before he can answer though, Vegeta calls out, “Kakarot, focus! Don’t make the same mistake you did last time! Broly isn’t dead yet!”
As if on cue, Broly’s Ki rises up again, breaking the pillar of flames. It… feels like he’s somehow only growing STRONGER too. Damn it! “Goku, any other ideas?” you ask.
He looks forward tensely, stating, “…I might have one, but…”
‘Momma Bird to Ghost Pepper, we’re here! Over!’
Two new Ki signatures appear near you all, one of them immediately familiar. Maple, with a pink Kai woman beside her. “Hoo boy, this isn’t a timeline I’m used to seeing get involved with THIS kind of mess.” the Kai lady comments. She then looks at Trunks with narrowed eyes, adding, “Probably should revise that.”
“Supreme Kai of Time?” Gohan questions in surprise, catching the attention of everyone else.
Trunks gulps. “Oh. So that’s how badly I messed up.”
She waves. “Hey Gohan! I have a few people we’re gathering up just in case, but I came here to assess the situation personally.” Looking in the direction of the still powering up Broly, she adds, “Looks like this might be needed immediately though…” she then… takes off her earrings? “Listen up! I need two of you to put these on! One person on the left ear, one person on the right ear!”
Cell turns toward her with a confused stare. “…I’m sorry, what? You’re trying to get one of us to wear earrings?” He then winces like something’s yelling in his… ear… hole thing, rubbing his forehead again.
She proudly proclaims. “Yep! If you do, it’ll allow you to combine into a powerful warrior with almost unparalleled potential! Now who’s it gonna be?”

>>6257027 “If it’s all the same to you guys, I feel like Goku should pick. It’s his home after all.” You look back in the direction of Broly, who’s still powering up. “I might be able to keep him occupied long enough to get you all the time you need, but I’ll probably need a bit of a pick me up, mom.”
She gives a quick nod, flying over to you and sharing some energy, while also declaring, “Samma Kammanta.”
As you feel your injuries heal, your stamina and energy charged back up to full, you see Goku look toward Vegeta. “Well, how about it?”
Briefly putting his attention toward Broly, he then looks back at Goku. “It’s better than letting your light blaze out of control. Very well.”
The Supreme Kai of Time sighs in relief. “I am so glad you’re one of the more reasonable Vegetas out there. Thank you, King of the Saiyans.”
Izzy rubs her chin, then calls out to your mom, “Aunt Maple, I have an idea too. Might be a bit harder to pull off, but I’ve done it before, and I know you’re adept at it.”
With you back up to full, she pats your shoulder and tells you, “Good luck, Ghost Pepper.” and then hops over to Izzy.
You power up to full once more, but before you head out, you notice Cell still holding his head. “…Hey, Cell, can you let someone check your forehead real quick? Really hope I didn’t mess something up when helping heal ya.”
“Hm?” He brings his hand down, and… damn it. You were afraid of that. There’s a big, stupid, “M” symbol in white etched onto his head. Trunks, Piccolo, Goku, and Vegeta all seem confused by it, while you, Gohan, Izzy, Maple, and especially the Supreme Kai of Time give tense but disappointed glares.
“Damn it Cell.” the Kai lady groans, pinching the ridge of her nose.
“...I’ll help settle this. Rest of guys do what you need to do.” Gohan says, calm but serious, approaching Cell.

>>6257512 https://youtu.be/gsQK6YbmVJk?si=ky5rGGIMKU4DBvfT You use Instant Transmission to teleport over to Broly, who you realize has not simply powered up. He’s… somehow transformed again. Deep crimson fur covers his arms and torso, only his chest, neck, and head still bare, his hair once more black, but still spiked up like in his transformed state. Just like Vegeta. Broly’s tapped into the level beyond, the Primal power.
“My power is rising… OVERFLOWING…! HAHAHAHAHA!” he declares, staring you down. His body tremors with the sheer amount of strength in it, barely even able to contain it all. It… also feels like it’s not all naturally coming from him. Almost like something helped him transform. “I AM POWER INCARNATE!”
Your aura blazing a flame-like red as you break the limits of Super Saiyan 3, you stare him down, boldly telling him, “All that, and it still won’t be enough to beat me.”
Oh that pisses him off. “BRAT OF KAKAROT! DIE SCREAMING IN TERROR!”
Both of you launch at one another, and… it definitely does feel like Broly’s power has managed to eclipse your own, though not quite with as large a gap as Broly seems to believe. Besides, you’ve got one trick he doesn’t. Speed. In a desperate gamble, you yell out “RAIO-KEN!” and manage to avoid his first few attacks, scoring some solid hits on Broly, finally managing to use Forced Spirit Fission to a greater extent and pulling power out of him, keeping him from growing any stronger and even actually weakening him just a bit.
Broly lets out an Explosive Wave to try to push you back, and as he does he also starts blasting spheres of energy out at random, cratering the area… and he doesn’t let up, firing more and more out. Before he can start doing any irreparable damage to Earth, you use a combination of telekinesis, the gathered energy from Forced Spirit Fission, and your own intense speed to start catching the spheres of energy, sending them right back at Broly! The explosive power around him finally implodes, sending all of that inward. That isn’t enough to keep him down, but it DOES piss him off all the more.
“YOU BRAT! DIE! RRAAAAAAHHH!” Broly spits out a beam from his mouth, but thanks to your speed, you manage to avoid it, even getting some more solid hits in from Forced Spirit Fission, though your attempt to avoid his attacks is starting to take a toll on your stamina. Broly on the other hand, even with the amount of power you took from him, still isn’t letting up.

>>6257513 https://youtu.be/9INO0giW1UM?si=ttUuR7i2A6uZ94Lh However, you’re not doing this alone. Two powerful Ki signatures erupt from where everyone else was. Two warriors arrive near you. One, a man in what looks like a combination of Goku and Vegeta’s outfits, darker blue on the outside with a tighter orange shirt on the inside, the gloves of Vegeta, hair spiked up save for two small bangs hanging from his forehead, and those earrings on his ears. The other, a lady with red and blonde hair, in an outfit similar to the one the fusion of Izzy and Pantea made, but even more detailed and customized than before.
“Well, the combination of Vegeta and Kakarot, huh? I think I’ll settle on calling myself… VEGITO!” the former declares in the shared voices of the two. Even without transforming he’s at least as strong as you are in Super Saiyan 2, maybe even stronger.
Broly lunges at him. “KAKAAAAROOOOT!” And… he actually does land a hit on the fused fighter, who wasn’t expecting that. But it doesn’t do nearly as much damage as Broly was expecting, sending him back just a bit, with Vegito’s head turned from the punch.
He rubs his cheek as he turns his head back, that attack leaving only a scratch on him. “Hey, not bad. You might actually put up a challenge, Broly. Good.”
“What, gonna have all the fun without us?” the other fusion questions, her voice the layered combination of your mom and cousin. “Hmm… Izumi and Maple… I think I’ll go with Izupuru then! The Mighty Mahou Of TRUTH! JUSTICE! AND THE PLANET PLANT WAY!” A brilliant white and green aura surrounds her as she takes a pose. You then notice your stamina and energy restored again, back up to full strength.
Vegito dodges Broly’s next attack and, with his arms crossed, he sends a flaming kick to Broly’s gut that actually does some noticeable damage. Izupuru meanwhile summons a dozen Spirit Bits infused with different kinds of Magic sends them all at Broly, bombarding him quickly and from all directions, even the barrier he tries to put up failing to block all the effects. Broly roars out in anger, flinging out a spread of Ki blasts, with you, Vegito, and Izupuru deflecting all of them away and then standing together.

>>6257525 I think you're onto something! In the game Hades, in the fight against the final boss,
Hades , there's this one attack he uses where he fires these big torrents of fire at you and you have to go hide behind a rock. OR, you can go right up to him, because he has to outstretch his arms to launch the attack, and he's nearly three times taller than you. So that attack that would kill you can't even touch you because you bypassed it by getting up in his personal space. I think we could use that against Broly here!
>>6257514 Supporting
>>6257525 but not the E part. If we could kill Cell without breaking time laws, I'd do so in a heartbeat. Even still I'm tempted, a pacifist like Gohan saw that Cell needed to be destroyed to protect life itself, and this one keeps giving us reasons to hum Day of Fate.

>>6257514 Vegito is the first to run at Broly, forming a Ki sword in one hand and a Ki Power Pole in the other, slashing and thwacking at the larger Saiyan, though not quite landing any solid hits. It lets you get a chance to ask the fused lady beside you something real quick.
“Izu…puru, right?” you start, to which she nods. “We’re staying on top of the stuff with Cell, right? What’s Gohan doing exactly?”
“He and the Supreme Kai of Time are working to free Cell from the control of Babidi, gonna leave it to them.” she tells you, then forming massive spheres of energy, while in her palms she builds up Light and Shadow Magic. “We’ll finish this fight.”
“Got it.” You ready a Fission Drill, dashing around and trying to get a few more good hits in on Broly, and even drawing some power from Izupuru’s Spirit Bits, the Raio-Ken on top of your limit-breaking power letting you move with relative ease as you draw in more and more power. Vegito tries to stab Broly with his Ki sword, only for Broly to catch it and blast him point blank with a mouth beam.
In spite of that, Vegito doesn’t seem that concerned, backing up and smirking. “All right, let’s KICK THIS UP A NOTCH! HRRAAAH!” He transforms into Super Saiyan, his earth-shaking power pushing Broly back as he channels more energy into the Ki Power Pole, this time overwhelming Broly’s defenses and sending him flying.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6257636 https://youtu.be/St6auxGs46A?si=IsW5meM-qwZFH_p1 Izupuru sends the trio of massive Spirit Bits forward, and with that you stand in the middle of them, ready to bait out Broly into trying to counter. It works perfectly, with him forming two massive spheres in his hands. “I’LL ERASE YOU! DIE! DIE! DIE!” He brings them together and then fires a gigantic beam, one that clashes with the chaotic torrent of Lightning, Light, and Shadow Magic unleashed by the trio of Spirit Bits… and actually starts to overtake all of it! You though fly upward, using your Fission Drill to draw in all that unleashed power, then continue forward through the beam!
“Hell yeah, kid! Get him!” Vegito cheers.
Taking more and more power into the drill, Broly realizes almost too late that he’s only empowering YOU with that energy, and tries to stop it. As you push forward, Broly is able to pull back a bit, though you manage to leave a noticeable gash across his chest while drawing out an immense amount of his power. Broly floats back, bleeding from it, yelling out in pain, only for the wound to… start glowing green. He flares out his energy, and it seems that he actually cauterizes the wound you made, the glow still there but looking more like a glowing scar.
You take in all the power you got from Broly and form two massive, swirling spheres in your hands. “RASEN!” Slamming them together, you then pull them back. The area turns green again as Broly forms a sphere of Ki above his head, then launches an attack with power well beyond what’s needed to shatter the Earth several times over. Izupuru and Vegito though are ready for it, and you use the opportunity to use Instant Transmission to get under Broly’s defenses. As your blazing red and gold aura surges around you, the borrowed power from Broly actually gives it lashes of green, and you feel an intense heat all over your body as you try to manage all that power at once. Now or never! “KAMEHAMEHA!” you yell next, Broly only barely having enough time to bring up a barrier around himself.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6257637 The point blank attack launches him even further into the sky, out past a mountain range, and you even actually break the barrier...! But even all that power just isn’t enough to keep him down. Thankfully, the damage you’re all doing IS leaving an impact. Broly launches forward, but so does Izupuru, with both Maple’s Thunderous Rainbow and Izzy’s Sword of Braves drawn, Light, Shadow, and Lightning Magic flowing around them.
“RAGNA HELL!” she yells, delivering a downward slash with the Rainbow. “RAGNA HEAVEN!” she yells next, slashing upward with the Sword of Braves. The arc of the two swords leave additional gashes across Broly’s chest, with Izupuru finishing it with a declaration of, “FADE! TO! LIGHT!”
Broly’s knocked back again as the power she unleashes across his chest explodes, with him landing on the ground hard enough to leave a substantial crater. And… yet that STILL isn’t enough to keep him down. Broly stands once more, seething in rage. “YOU…! YOU… I REMEMBER YOU! THE ONE THAT DECIEVED ME! THAT SEALED ME AWAY!”
Izupuru stares down at him in disappointment. “Maple really wanted the best for you, you know. She actually tried to help you. She saw the good in you, saw how you were mistreated and used as a weapon. And what did you do?! You slapped away that offer of help! All because you were too caught up in your anger over ‘Kakarot’ CRYING TOO MUCH AS AN INFANT! I know that isn’t all there is to it, but let’s face it Broly, you made the wrong choices.”
“I CHOSE TO BE THE STRONGEST! I -AM- THE STRONGEST!” he retorts. “STRONGER THAN KAKAROT! STRONGER THAN ANYONE!”
“No! You chose to be PATHETIC!” Izupuru lectures. “You haven’t even picked up on the fact that you weren’t even able to tap into that power on your own! And even WITH that, Peppa was holding her own against you! You needed a boost from afar to KEEP UP with her! Some ‘Legendary Super Saiyan’ you turned out to be!”
“SHUT UP!” he demands, charging up his Ki again.
“No, I think you need to hear that, loud and clear.” Vegito proclaims. “You’re no different from the Broly we know. A self-important, power-hungry, ruthless renegade with a chip on your shoulder. You may be so much stronger with this power, but you’re still the same sore loser he was.” Hefting the Ki Power Pole over his shoulder, Vegito adds next, “And at the rate this is going, you’re just gonna end up sharing his same fate.” He also floats a little closer to you, commenting quietly, “Cool move by the way, kid.”
“Thanks, won my first tournament with it.”
Broly screams out in rage, the wounds cauterizes again, though his body looks like it’s about to crack apart, “I’LL KILL ALL OF YOU!”

Peppa teleports and grabs his head, Vegito gets him in a full nelson from behind, and Izupuru stabs him with the Ruby Knife in his chest wound. Since it's a dreamstone blade, the wound goes down to the soul. So even should he heal, whenever he tries to use his energy, it will leak out through there and give energy to the life around him.

>>6257705 >>6257765 >>6257813 I can't agree with these write-ins, they're overly hostile and kinda out of left field. It doesn't feel like Peppa reacting to what they said in-character, especially after how Broly has been acting toward Peppa in particular. It's also not like they're being overly hostile to him either, they're laying it out sternly but not with as much malice as seems to be read given these write-ins. And he does kinda need to hear that he's the one that messed up regardless.

You needed a boost from afar to KEEP UP with her! What is her point here? We needed a boost just now, and continuing to push ourselves against him like we did is going to cripple us, for real tho SS3 + Raio-ken is gonna have some serious aftershocks. And they can't say that he didn't earn a transformation when their Mahou transformations were handed to them on a silver platter, unless I'm read that part about them being "chosen by the planet" wrong. But none of them are pathetic for needing help.
>You’re no different from the Broly we know. A self-important, power-hungry, ruthless renegade with a chip on your shoulder. You may be so much stronger with this power, but you’re still the same sore loser he was. Vegito is made of two self-important, power-hungry, ruthless renegades who hate to lose! If they weren't I don't think the Earth would still be present here. Also it's really hard to imagine how far Maple would have gotten without being the same.
We have to keep in mind with Fusions that they are two people in one body, which means they're alway going to be full of themselves. Despite having Mom and Dad in them, these two/four are currently just trying to piss off Broly as hard as they can. Btw, props to Kato! Lore acurate to how fusions would usually just fool around in canon.
And we have to remember that the big problem we have with Broly, the one thing that kept us from being friends with him, is that he wants us to be less alive. No problems with him otherwise.
TL;DR their trash talk isn't helping and is the pot calling the kettle black

>>6257847 Peppa didn't tap into a new form to keep up with him, she was fighting him pretty evenly and even managing to outpace him, even if was through a desperate gamble. Izzy wasn't chosen by the planet, she developed that power on her own and because of that she basically took on a title that had been absent for untold millennia (and later went on a whole big quest to purify out of control Magics and then forming that into the Mahou Knight), Maple likewise developing her own transformation much later. The HAKKERO has ties to the Earth in its amplifying effects, but that's also more something Izzy developed and experimented with than just got handed to her. And even then it isn't just that Broly didn't get to Super Saiyan 4 on his own, it's that he's either too blinded by his hatred or too apathetic to care about how he's being boosted up to keep up with her. Too busy wanting to maim people to notice that someone is apparently using him as a puppet yet again.
I don't know how you got the impression that the Goku and Vegeta here are anything like that. Goku has been relatively chill and kind, and even apologetic when thinking he went overboard. The Vegeta here was willing to fuse with Goku without much complaint, especially seeing it preferable to Goku risking his life on a gamble to go full Monkey King (something the Supreme Kai of Time noted as being refreshingly outside the norm for a Vegeta). Vegito does show he's enjoying the fight against Broly and being boastful and almost arrogant but he's also kinda pointing out that this Broly is making the mistakes his counterpart here did.
I will agree that it does feel like they have their own combined personalities in saying those things. I also would be fine with just not killing him here.

>>6257639 “At this point Broly’s like a ticking time bomb. I have an idea though, but it’s gonna take a lot of effort.” You turn to the fused fighters, stating, “I was able to pull out that energy that was corrupting Goku before, maybe I can do the same with Broly, but to an even greater extent. Taking out ALL that power, or at least enough that you guys can stop him without risk of him having some kind of power meltdown.” Facing Broly again, you add, “Preferably stopping him with something that doesn’t mean leaving him dead in this timeline. Put him on ice somehow? Some kind of… Final Flash Freeze… Blizzard… Kamehameha or something?”
“All right, I think I’ve got just the thing.” Vegito says as he charges up his ki. “Counting on you, kid!”
“Same here, do what you need!” Izupuru adds, pulling out a… Crystal. “Just say when, Peppa!”
https://youtu.be/FM4hOyexiNg?si=Fza-KEHzXDPwO4k6 Broly finally finishes powering up, launching up at you with ground-shattering force. You fly down at him, clashing fists with Broly with enough force to send a shockwave through the area. It doesn’t really slow him down though, as Broly attempts to wail on you, and even with all you’re able to bring out, he’s wizened up to your attempt to drain his power. In fact, he starts to overtake you, knocking you around, sending you through mountains and down into the dirt. He even grabs you by your tail and slams you down and down, though even as you’re knocked around you do start to get some decent hits in, just not enough to force out all his power. Broly attempts to stomp you down after he tires of trying to ragdoll you, but you dodge it with Instant Transmission and manage a kick to the back of his head. If you’re going to get this to work you’ll need to shake things up a bit.
You push yourself up with the Power Pole, and then get an idea. Broly charges at you again, green spheres forming in his hands that he brings together over his head, creating a massive, chaotic ball of energy. He then somehow crushes it down into what looks like a massive, glowing green shard of raw power. But before he can fling it at you, you throw the Power Pole up into the air, and briefly use Multi-Form to catch it and empower it with Wind Magic. “EXTEND, POWER POLE!” your duplicate declares, kinda taking a page from the playbook of this world’s Goku, forcing Broly to throw the shard up at her. Except you cancel out the copy of you just in time, with the still empowered staff smacking Broly in the head, hitting like a tornado.

>>6258026 With one final Fission Drill ready, and with you catching the Power Pole with your tail after Broly knocks it away, you thrust it into Broly’s chest, right where the glowing scar is. Not too deep, but deep enough that you’re REALLY able to start pulling power out of him. “GGRRAAAAAAHHHH!” he yells as he tries to pull back, but his body weakens, your own doing its best to hold on to what power you have. That’s when you do something he doesn’t expect. You actually send a little bit of that power back, healing the parts of his body that were starting to crack apart from the immense power forced upon him. Not restoring his energy, but using what you’re taking to stabilize him.
“Broly… in spite of everything, I want you to know this: you being able to make your own choices wasn’t wrong.” you tell him, still taking as much power out of him as you can. “I’m not saying it’s okay that you still want to go off and make people suffer, run off and try to kill my dad, but from all I’ve heard, you weren’t dealt the best hand to start with. I don’t know if this will be enough to get you to start reevaluating things, but I want you to try. Actually try. And that can’t happen if you die here.”
“I’m not… weak… like you…!” he responds, attempting to pull away. “I’ll… be the… strongest…! I don’t need your… mercy!”
“I’d take the offer if I were you.” Vegito declares as he lands a short distance away, his hands forming a circle of energy with an almost rainbow-like shine to it. He then places his hands together, two fingers from each extended as the shine intensifies. It… feels like it almost has some kind of purifying power to it, if an intense one, with Vegito’s golden hair taking on a flame-like state for a moment.
But before he can try anything with it, Vegito… separates. A confused Vegeta and Goku stand there, the shining circle of light fading from the two. “…Uh.” Goku starts hesitantly. “I… don’t think that was supposed to happen.”
“Damn it! Did we use too much power trying to prepare that?” Vegeta questions.
Broly’s Primal Super Saiyan state finally fades, but he only drops down to Super Saiyan 3, and with bitter defiance, he stops trying to escape. Instead, Broly holds a hand out, charging one more green sphere of energy in his hand. “This is what I think… of your… stupid mercy!”
Crap! ‘Izupuru, now would be a good time!’ you telepathically send out to the remaining fused warrior, trying all the harder to drain out the rest of Broly’s power before he can unleash the attack.

>>6258027 A large mech appears overhead, slightly similar to Izzy’s Mahou Knight, yet with glowing butterfly wings spread out from its back, the shape and color different, and a soft azure-green glow around it. It lands in front of Broly’s attack, and holds out its hand to stop it, the azure aura around it surrounding Broly too. The sphere of energy leaves his hand slowly, as if gently pulled away from him, and ends up in the mech’s hand. It’s then surrounded by the glowing butterfly wings and gets dissipated, fading into glittery particles of light.
“Samma Vaca.” Izupuru’s voice declares from the mech, and there’s a soft shattering sound as purple wisps of power leave Broly’s body. His Ki drops a bit, and suddenly you find it all the easier to pull the rest of the power out of massive Saiyan, all the easier with her keeping his body frozen in place. He drops out of Super Saiyan 3, hair shrinking, even his muscles going from the absurdly bulked up state they were in and down into something approaching a more normal size. His green hair turns blonde, then finally diminishes down to black.
You pull the Fission Drill back, letting out one last surge of power further heal that wound it made. Broly wearily stands, panting, dazed, angry, confused. He tries to pull back his arm one last time for one final swing at you, only to stumble, miss, and fall to the ground, unconscious.
You exhale deeply, powering down yourself as your own body feels sore and drained. Goku walks over, patting you on the shoulder and smiling. You smile back, giving a thumb’s up. “He’s not gonna cause any more trouble for this world.” you say.
Izupuru’s Mahou Knight looks off in the distance, commenting, “Whoever was empowering him wasn’t Babidi, that much is clear… ah, right! Gohan, Supreme Kai of Time, got the Cell stuff under control?”
Your brother’s voice telepathically calls out to you all, ‘Cell’s back to… uh, relative normal, Babidi, Dabura, and all of that have been dealt with too thanks to Trunks, Piccolo, and Lapis and Lazuli.’
“...What were they doing here?” you ask aloud.
‘Cell absorbed ‘em. Got ‘em out with the Supreme Kai of Time’s help, then we healed ‘em up. Babidi tried to explode Cell after he lost his power, and boy did that not work out for the little evil raisin, ahaha.’
>A. All right, let’s get out of here, and soon >B. So… why DID you and Vegeta defuse already, Goku? Izupuru, you feel like you’re about to defuse as well? >C. …Call out whoever was empowering Broly. Likely still around. You think you have an idea on the perp, and ohhh if it’s him again…! >D. Something else? Anonymous
>>6258030 >B. So… why DID you and Vegeta defuse already, Goku? Izupuru, you feel like you’re about to defuse as well? Now the question will forever be what technique was Vegito going to use!
>C. …Call out whoever was empowering Broly. Likely still around. You think you have an idea on the perp, and ohhh if it’s him again…! >D. Something else? Take a picture of the fusion before it separates too so we can sketch it out later. We'll have to do Vegeto from memory. Take one of Broly too.

>>6258030 Okay, sounds like all’s well that ends well… though now that you have a moment, some questions remain. First thing’s first though. You tap your goggles and take a picture of Izupuru’s mech. It looks neat. Also… since she’s probably done with that. “Hey, Izupuru, mind getting a quick picture in? Kinda wanna sketch this later.”
She despawns her mech, then strikes a pose. “Well, if you insist, Peppa.” Aaaaand done.
Looking at Goku and Vegeta (and guessing you’ll have to go off of memory for Vegito), you do have to wonder, “Hey, why DID you guys defuse so quickly? Was it just the technique you were trying to use?”
“It’s possible.” Vegeta answers. “We were attempting to use the full power of Vegito’s light to remove whatever corrupting power was influencing Broly.” He then holds his chin, thinking over it, not entirely sure he’s satisfied with that answer.
Gohan, the Supreme Kai of Time, Piccolo, and a very, very tense Trunks, Cell, and Lapis and Lazuli appear near you all. And as if to confirm his suspicions, the Supreme Kai of Time comments, “Huh, it hasn’t even been close to an hour yet, why are you guys apart?”
“Oh. They last twice as long as the dance?” Izupuru questions.
“Kinda. It’s a bit more complicated depending on if those fused are divine or not.” she says, then looks around, contemplatively rubbing her chin.
Trunks tries to look at the positives, asking, “Well, the good news is, Broly’s beaten, right?”
“Yep.” you confirm as you gesture at ‘em.
Cell glares bitterly at the unconscious Saiyan, with Gohan being the one to warn him. “Don’t. You don’t have anything to prove here. Leave it.”
He crosses his arms. “Fine. Just take that trash out of here, he’s already stunk up the place enough.”
“...Before that. There’s something we have to deal with.” You look over at Gohan, who sighs out glumly. He’s probably thinking what you’re thinking. Cupping your hands in front of your mouth, you jump up and shout, “HEY! YOU! THE GUY THAT DECIDED TO PLAY PUPPETMASTER TO BROLY! WE KNOW YOU’RE STILL HERE! SHOW YOURSELF!” Oh you’re sure you’ve got a solid idea on who it is. That sneaky little…!
…
After a beat, you finally get a reply.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6258066 And… not from anyone you can recognize as Fu.
No, the response is in a voice that almost sounds like a soft hiss, a loud whisper that… sounds… familiar…
https://youtu.be/g3MrhwMaS3g?si=UUhPHS2GvMzReQWI “YOUR WISH… SHALL BE GRANTED…” A shadowy form, transparent, yet so massive it seems to fill the sky, a dragon with two mouths, serpentine body that stretches out for several kilometers, jagged spikes trailing down its form. But where you expected red scales, its body is a deep, sickly blue and black, with… at least a dozen, maybe more, smaller forms hidden in shadow. And somehow, behind the former dragon, there seems to be another, somehow larger form, similar in color to the first yet… somehow more closely resembling an even more familiar dragon.
The first figure closes in, and in spite of its transparent form, you can see all too clear what… who… exactly it is. You back up slightly, a shiver going through your body as memories flood back. Back to the wish you made, on this very dragon. You recall its name, breathing out, “Denuen…”

Thanks for running! and I really appreciate you taking the sentiment of my write-in, it was worth a lot to me. Going forward I will try my hardest to ferret out the good part of what Izumi does to repay this kindness.
>>6258066 >He crosses his arms. “Fine. Just take that trash out of here, he’s already stunk up the place enough.” I am super curious as to whether Cell would be arrested by the Time Patrol for time traveling, or if Cells are designated Canon Events? Or does he already do the time by having to
revert to an egg and bury himself underground for 3 years so his form matures? Anonymous
>>6258067 TFR! Do the Black Star Dragon Balls do white and black magic? Kinda scared an evil wish was done just now, which also makes me wonder if Peppa's wish back then was construed to the absolute worst it could be...

>Izupuru stares down at him in disappointment. “Maple really wanted the best for you, you know. She actually tried to help you. She saw the good in you, saw how you were mistreated and used as a weapon.

>>6258072 Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! It's all come together now, hasn't it?
>>6258074 Glad you enjoyed it! Cell AND Trunks might end up with a little ear-pulling and interrogation when this is all over.
Hahahaha. >>6258343 In a sense, both are used up, just not in what you would call a balanced manner.
Anyway, sorry for that little delay, we're back!
>>6258067 “No… no you were sealed away!” the Supreme Kai of Time declares. “We made sure of that!”
“WE WERE. ONCE.” the corrupted Denuen confirms. “THE SEAL HAS CRACKED. IT CANNOT BE RESTORED. ONLY BROKEN FURTHER.”
“You… you were the one that defused us?” Goku asks.
Piccolo questions next, “That form… are you some kind of eternal dragon?”
“ONE AMONG OUR NUMBER PERFORMED SUCH AN ACT.” the lower mouth says, while the upper adds, “WE ARE ALL OF ZALAMA’S CHILDREN. DRAGONS OF ETERNAL MAGIC.”
“Why then… why target Broly like that?!” Izupuru demands. “What were you trying to do?!”
Images flash in your mind and apparently the minds of those around you, ones of Broly in the Primal Super Saiyan state… yet with those glowing scars across his chest, deepened and more like those of Goku’s when he took on that rampaging state. Scars like burning charcoal. And in the center of his chest… a Dragon Ball. The mouths declare simultaneously, “A HOST FOR ONE./HE FAILED THAT TEST.”
“...Why tell us this now?” you finally manage to ask. “You didn’t have to answer me. You chose to.”
“YOUR WISH BROUGHT THIS FORTH.” the dragon replies. “YOU ARE OWED HONESTY FOR PROVING YOURSELF AGAIN.”
You hold your head in your hands, looking down. No. No all of this… was because of that…
Piccolo raises an eyebrow and looks toward you. “...Wish?”
“On… those Dragon Balls… its Dragon Balls…” Gohan recalls, giving you a sympathetic look. “Sis… it’s not…”
“No! Don’t you DARE try to place blame upon her for this!” Izupuru yells.
“I might not have liked the end result but that doesn’t mean she’s at fault for what you’re trying to do.” the Supreme Kai of Time adds in.
“THERE IS NO BLAME. ONLY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. HER WISH WAS GRANTED.” There’s no… malice in its voice, at least none that you can detect. It’s a simple statement of fact.
Vegeta stands tensely, then demands to know in as direct and clear a voice he can muster, “...Will you continue to be a threat to this realm?”
“NO. WE APPEAR NOW AND ONLY NOW TO GIVE ANSWER TO THOSE THAT DESERVE IT. THAT HAVE EARNED IT.” The dragon’s form starts to fade. “THAT WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED... FAREWELL…”
>A. Wait, what are you trying to do? Are you working with Towa and Dabura?! >B. …I’m sorry.

>>6258363 “Denuen, wait!” you call out to the dragon. “I… I’m sorry. You say you aren’t blaming me for what happened but that doesn’t change the fact that I sent you, and anyone else with you, to this place, caused this to happen to you. And I need to let you know that I’m sorry for that.” You hold your hand to your chest and declare, “I am the one responsible for this. You ending up in this situation is my blunder. I don’t know how I can really fix any of this… so please, tell me, what can I do to set this right?”
“YOUR APOLOGY IS NOTED. IT WILL ULTIMATELY CHANGE NOTHING. THERE IS NO FIXING WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED, WHAT WILL TRANSPIRE.” Denuen fades further, leaving out one last cryptic warning, “WHAT HAS BEEN SET IN MOTION CAN NOT BE STOPPED BY ANY MEANS AVAILABLE TO YOU, ONLY DELAYED.”
“Please, I want to help! There must be something I can-!”
“I WILL BARGAIN RESPITE FOR YOUR KIND BECAUSE OF YOUR SINCERITY, BUT THE TIME WILL COME WHERE YOU AND THOSE THAT WISH UPON THE DRAGON BALLS MUST FACE THEIR BYPRODUCT. THROUGH THIS… YOUR WISH… HAS… BEEN… GRANTED…”
Denuen’s form finally vanishes. It… sounded like, in spite of everything, it’s still actually trying to help in some way. But… it’s not going to stop, and it doesn’t want to offer any way to make amends. You look down, shoulders slouched, a sour, almost empty feeling in your stomach. You then feel arms wrap around you in a hug. Gohan and the fusion of Izzy and mom hold you tight for a moment.
“Don’t think for a moment that I regret you making that wish, Peppa.” Gohan tells you firmly. “Even if this is something we have to deal with later, you’ve given us the chance to prepare for it properly. You made the right call in my eyes.”
“Yeah. This will be something all of us will handle. Together.” The two let go, with Izupuru adding, “Your dad included.”
“For what it’s worth, the Time Patrol will aid you in this effort.” the Supreme Kai of Time adds. “We were so focused on tracking Towa’s activity that this ended up out of left field, but that doesn’t mean we’ll continue to ignore it. If these Shadow Dragons are going to cause more problems across time, it’s our duty to oppose them.” She then turns around, narrowing her eyes at Trunks and Cell. “On that note, the two of you are going to come with me.”

>>6258526 Trunks gulps but bows. “Yes ma’am.”
“Go easy on my boy.” Vegeta requests. “Even if his presence here is foolhardy in your eyes, he came with nothing but the best of intentions.”
She sighs. “Yeah, I know his type. You though, Cell? You have a lot you’re gonna answer for.”
“What makes you think I’ll come willingly?” Cell questions, trying to appear haughty.
“Do you want to be reverted into an egg and have this conversation again in about three years after you’ve matured a bit?” she threatens. Cell… genuinely doesn’t know how to respond to that, taking a cautious step back. “Didn’t think so.”
“Yeah I’m gonna be honest, didn’t like being bug food, but not in the mood to fight it out.” Lapis comments.
Lazuli nods. “Agreed. Not like we want him around anyway.”
Goku places his hands on his hips, smiling. “I guess this is goodbye for now. I hope you guys find your Goku again soon. But I also hope this isn’t the end, it’d be nice to meet you guys one more time.”
“...You’re also hoping to fight your counterpart from their realm, aren’t you?” Piccolo accuses.
“Ehehehe!” Goku sheepishly laughs, rubbing the back of his head but not really denying it.
You… find yourself able to smile again after that.

>>6258636 With that settled… there are a couple more things to take note of. “So… what about Broly? He’s not gonna be happy when he wakes up, and if he ever actually trained he’d probably be back up to being a threat to us in a matter of weeks. I mean he’s not exactly your guys Broly… but maybe he’d benefit the most from being here? The kind of traditions you guys have sound way better suited to actually making him more… a respectable Saiyan or something.”
Vegeta sighs and admits, “Unless we have those earrings working again, it would be too much a risk for us to try to play wrangler to another Legend.”
“You can keep ‘em by the way. Just use ‘em only for emergencies.” the Supreme Kai of Time states “Also… I think I have an idea. Cell, mind carrying him for us?” she requests.
He gives an annoyed glare but picks up the Saiyan. “I take it you aren’t going to ask me to throw him into a star.”
“Cell.” Gohan says firmly. “You don’t have anything to prove.”
“Hmmnnh.” he grumbles.
You look over to Izupuru and ask, “So, there aren’t any lingering effects from those… Shadow Dragons, right? Nothing anyone can detect?”
“Yeah, whatever influence they, it’s gone completely. No nasty surprises for us or them.” She then has a curious look on her face, and calmly focuses herself. After a moment, she makes certain gestures with her arms and hands, calling out, “Fission… ha!” And Maple and Izzy separate once more.
“Well. Now I know how that works.” your cousin comments. “Useful.”
Maple smiles and nods. “Told ya. …I think. Hehehe.”
It looks like all this is settled… though you do have one more thing you wanna bring up. “Supreme Kai of Time, mind if we could like… come back here some day, let everyone meet their counterparts and just get a chance to mingle a bit? Even if it’s not like, right now, I think it’d be nice.”
She laughs a little. “This isn’t a tourism bureau, Peppa. Buuuut I can maybe work with a little something together later on.”
“Great! Thanks!” You turn to Cell and add, “You know, our Gero made a whole team of you guys. If it’s okay with your…” You glance at the short pink Kai lady. “…new boss? I wouldn’t object to you heading over to try and kick their asses.”
“Tch. A TEAM of me? What kind of…?” He stops, pondering for a moment. “Hmm…”
“Yeeeaaaaahhh we’re gonna have to talk about good behavior first.” the Supreme Kai of Time tells him. “Anyway, let’s get you guys home.”
Goku smiles and waves. “Bye guys! Until next time!”

>>6259059 Perhaps not tonight, but soon.
Anyway, we're back!
>>6258638 The Supreme Kai of Time brings you all over to a place mom and Gohan recognize, which the Kai lady names as the Time Nest. You’re all allowed a moment to freshen up and relax there, you getting out of a quick shower as you notice some others arrive. Another Trunks (in a trenchcoat of sorts), Bra, Percel, Buula, Pan, a red-haired man in an outfit like Bra’s but with a cape, a blue-haired man in a tracksuit, and… your counterpart. The Peppa from another timeline.
“...Okay seriously just how many of you are there?” Cell asks the other Trunks with narrowed eyes.
“Enough to keep people like you in check, Cell.” the other Trunks answers. “Besides, I could ask you the same question.”
Bra spots your brother, cousin, and the first Trunks setting Broly down over in a padded room. There’s a melancholic smile on her face as she looks to Maple, commenting, “…I’m sorry, my inexperience back then caused you all so much grief-”
“Oh don’t be like that.” Maple tells her with a reassuring smile. “I tried to help him too, things just didn’t work out back then. But… maybe it’ll all finally start working out for the better now.”
Her smile becomes a bit more geniune. “Yeah…”
“Ace, can you and your partner show Cell and our new Trunks around for a bit? Gotta debrief with Trunks some.” the Supreme Kai of Time requests of the red-haired man.
“Sure thing boss.” he confirms, leading them out a doorway.
Pan and your future counterpart approach you together, the former smiling a little. “Wow, it’s been forever since I last got to see you. Nice outfit by the way.”
You smile and scratch your cheek gently. “Thanks.”
“Hope you’ve been doing good. Basilea still being a handful and a half?” your counterpart asks.
“I think she’s come around pretty well.” you answer. “Still pretty grumpy at times, but she’s gotten way better.”

apologies, passed out while writing. it's a long one again too.
>>6259070 https://youtu.be/B-iNDjbvGIQ?si=MNcYT_ncRZaY9pEI You… possibly do have a thing or two you’d like to ask her, but might not start with that. “Soooo… how about you guys?” You face your counterpart first, asking, “Has it been all business since last we talked, or have you been taking some time for yourself?”
She rubs the back of her neck. “Eh… I’ve been putting in the effort to give myself more… ‘me’ time. It’s not always been the easiest thing to slot back into. But I’ve… at least reconnected with my friends and family a bit more.” She looks over toward Gohan, Izzy, and Maple, smiling softly. “You’re lucky to have them.”
“Been making any new friends? Or maybe even…?” You give her a bit of a knowing smirk.
Your counterpart blushes and stammers a bit. “W-well, I uh… have made a few new friends…” In a quieter voice she adds, “…And I have been on a couple dates.”
“Reeeaaaaally now?” you question with an even bigger smirk. You telepathically ask, ‘She got a name?’
There’s a very quick telepathic answer of ‘Oats.’ and send you a mental image of a lady in a burgundy gi with black undershirt, grey-white hair, and a build kinda similar to Lazuli’s. Heh, you have to admit, she is pretty cute. Future Peppa then lets out an “Ahem.” to try and steer the conversation away from the topic. “Point is, I have been able to… start meeting new people.”
(cont.)
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6259184 “Yeah lucky you…” Pan grumbles. “Last guy I tried to ask out dumped me for being ‘too aggressive.’ All I did was stop an armed robbery!”
“Okay first, you are like, twelve.” your future counterpart begins to lecture. “Second, any guy that runs off on you for saving people is NOT worth your time.”
Wow what a loser, dumping a girl for something like that. “Yeah gonna agree there. And hey, been forever since we got to talk, Pan! How’ve you been, dating aside?”
“Well… it’s honestly been pretty good. I’ve been practicing with Super Saiyan a whole lot!” she declares proudly. “Remember what I said last time we met?”
You take a moment to recall, then nod confidently. “You know. I think I do. And I think I did manage it. I’m the Tuffest there is. Tuffer than even you.”
“Good.” she responds with a proud smile. “Though that aside, I have been thinking about getting a new look. Something a cool jacket, and a headband, and switching these,” she gestures at her pants, “for some cute short shorts. Leggings too. Combination of cute, chic, and cool.”
You… think you can picture that. “That does sound pretty good. Maybe we should do a little shopping trip while we can. Oh! Er… Peppa, have you gotten caught up on the latest gens? There’s a Gen 5 now! Oooh and it’s so cool!”
That… catches her attention, and while she tries not to show it, she is clearly very interested. “I… might have to check that out some time.”
“Hey has your brother gone through his like, dorky costumed Superhero phase yet?” Pan asks as she gestures at Gohan.
“Huh? Oh, no, though he has started playing a guitar.” you answer.
“Oh thank goodness…” she sighs.
You… do have to admit, “I mean, I kinda tried that for a moment. Got caught pretty much immediately though.” Pan looks at you with a raised eyebrow. “What? It was stopping a bank robbery and I didn’t wanna draw any attention! …Just kinda hard to do that when one of mom’s oldest friends is on patrol.”
Your counterpart giggles. “Yeah, I bet.”
“Videl though went with a cool heroic costumed gimmick for the Mifan Tournament though, teamed up with Kuriza.” you add. “I think she pulled it off even better than I did.”
“Ugh, even when she’s not with my dad, mom’s still doing that?” Pan asks rhetorically, hanging her head and grumbling, “Is it genetic? Am I gonna end up dressing like a dweeb one day?”
You… think for a moment as you look at her, and you can’t help but start to think of Reapa again. Her… and what else happened very recently. “Hey… mind if I ask a bit more serious of a question, future me?”
(cont.)
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6259185 “Shoot.” she affirms.
“I kinda came face to face with some consequences of things I’d done previously within the last like, 30 hours or so. Some things with pretty big ramifications.” You cross your arms and lean against the side of a wall. “One of them being what the Supreme Kai of Time called ‘Shadow Dragons.’”
To your surprise, it’s not her that reacts immediately, but Pan. “Sh-Shadow Dragons?! You’re facing them already?!”
…So ‘already’ is a pretty worrying part to that. “Kiiiinda…? I…” You look to your counterpart and say, “You remember how I made a wish on the Black Star Dragon Balls to remove that negative energy, along with all sets of those Dragon Balls?”
“Yyyyes…?” She gets a tense look on her face. “…Boss and Trunks are talking about that aren’t they?”
“Most likely…” you confirm. “They showed up, revealing themselves to be involved in recent events, one even apparently trying to make Broly into a… ‘vessel.’” You look back at Pan, asking, “How do you know of them?”
“...They showed up after our Dragon Balls cracked, Grandpa and Giru and I went around fighting them. One of them even did the same thing to me.” she explains, holding her arm and looking away. “The last of them nearly beat us all, it took one last desperate gamble from Grandpa, and… it cost him everything. He left with Shenron after everything was all said and done.” Her… eyes start to water a bit. “I… want to think he’s still out there, watching over us somehow…” You and your counterpart both pull her in for a gentle, comforting hug.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know…” you tell her apologetically.
She wipes her eyes with her arm. “It’s okay. We… we’re all still around thanks to him.”
Your counterpart pats her on the head gently, then tells you, “I don’t think you should consider yourself at fault for it. You might have made the wish, but it’s not something you did intending to cause harm. You did all that to stop Basilea’s plan and save the universe, right? If anything, you at least helped stop this from happening all the sooner.” As the two of you let go of Pan, she adds, “You’re nowhere near the screw-up I was.”
(cont.)
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6259186 …Gonna have to bring up the other thing sooner or later, might as well talk with her about it now. “…Thanks. There’s… another thing too.” You gulp, and… given how similar she is to you, you guess this is about the best way you can phrase this. You COULD try to ask Pan about how her dad and grandpas were like too, if they had things they struggled with and all that, but might start with Future Peppa. “I… would like to hear some advice on another thing, if you don’t mind.” She just nods, and… here it goes. “Do you have any advice on… being a… dad?”
Pan gives you a very, very confused look, while your counterpart takes a moment to process what you just asked. There’s… an intense, almost funny look on her face, and a realization of what you’re implying by it. “…So that’s a million new questions that just entered my head. I’ll try to keep them brief. Mom knows?”
“Yep. Cocoa and I told her together.”
“What.” Pan lets out quietly, confused.
Future Peppa sucks in air through her teeth. “That’s… good at least.” Her face reddens as she questions next, “…Are you going to be upset if I ask how? Because… I mean there certainly are MEANS but…”
https://youtu.be/26C9v_tmwwk?si=zo1VU49hdCAtzqY- “From the top…” You explain everything you can about Reapa, how she was “born” and how you encountered her, what you found out about her and… how Cocoa was thankfully understanding and quick to accept the kid as something the two of you will work on together. Also how she said she’d slap Towa, which your counterpart finds deeply amusing.
“Damn you picked well…” Future Peppa says proudly. “I… will be honest, if it were me, I might have had a bit harder a time accepting her as ‘my kid’ like that readily. Especially if it were me before I got started working for the Time Patrol. I’m… not exactly all that cut out for any kind of parenthood as I am now. I think that you though? You’re at least taking the right first steps. Don’t… don’t do what I did and think you can just handle everything on your own, run off and thinking you can shoulder the weight of the world on your shoulders. Do that, and I say you’ll make a great mom, Peppa.”
That… does feel pretty encouraging. You do have to note, though, “Reapa’s gonna insist on calling me ‘Papa’ just so you know.”
She elbows your arm gently. “You know what I mean.”

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6259188 Pan though has been staring down at the ground as she’s tried to process all this. She then looks over at Gohan, and then you, and under her breath she realizes to her… horror? Confusion? Shock? Some combination of those things, “…He’s not my dad’s counterpart. You are. You’re… you’re basically if my dad was a girl…”
“Eh… I wouldn’t go that far.” you try to proclaim, attempting to ease this existential crisis she’s having. “From the sound of things we’re still plenty different.”
Your counterpart nods her head in agreement. “Yeah from the sound of things there are plenty of Gohans to go around already. But so far? I only know of two Peppas. And one of us is the Tuffest there is.”

I think we could do more with less characters. As it stands now, we could have done about the same without having met Nazar, there were several times Nazar got in the way of us doing more interesting things. If Kato is inclined to trim any characters before going to the next part, Nazar's a big one, along with Basilea. Also I think Acer was too Krillin-coded and took away from Krillin's moments, I think we could have waited to introduce him as Raichi's dragon or something.

>>6259617 >>6259632 >>6259652 Might be more down the line.
Also apologies again, another long one,
>>6259587 “Supreme Kai of Time, I have a few questions, if you don’t mind.” you address the Kai lady.
She smiles. “Not at all. Let’s hear ‘em.”
You rub the back of your neck. “So… since it’s kinda still on my mind, has there been… any situation like Reapa before in other timelines? Like… I can’t exactly imagine her circumstances are all that common, but having at least some kind of better understanding of other instances might help me better be a parent to her. “
She mumbles under her breath, “...White hair, horns, incredible power, unorthodox ‘birth,’ hybridized genetics…” After thinking for a moment, she places her hands together in front of her face. “I’ve… seen a glimpse of something sorta like that in a very, very distant timeline. It… was not exactly what I would suggest you look toward beyond as an example of what NOT to do. If anything, your decision to actually try to be a proper parent to the kid is already a step in the right direction.” She thinks again for a moment, then adds, “Try your best to steer her away from any Kais with delusions of grandeur and egos the size of gas giants.”
“...Oddly specific but sure?”
“So there are… evil Kais out there or something?” Gohan asks.
“Well… as much as I wish it weren’t the case, there have been instances of Kais falling into true god complexes and trying to enforce either some twisted sense of justice or iron-fisted rule across all creation. To say nothing of those that still reside within the Demon Realm, like the Makaioshin.” she confirms, voice filled with disappointment.
“Sounds like what the Archons were doing.” your cousin comments.
“No matter what group they come from, there will always be some that commit terrible acts. Even those that were once victims of some of the most heinous atrocities imaginable can end up committing the same kinds of evil upon others. Just the same, those that choose to do good in spite of those around them should be celebrated and honored for such things. Villains and heroes exist in all kinds of people, Saiyans, Earthlings, Namekians, Tuffles, Demons, Kais, the list goes on.” She looks over at Trunks, Bra, Buula, Percel, and then toward your cousin and Pan, smiling proudly.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6259802 “Thank you, Supreme Kai of Time.” you give her a respectful bow. “Second question… any advice on what we should do to prepare for the Shadow Dragons?”
“The instances of the Shadow Dragons I’ve seen in other timelines have shown them as karmic reflections of certain wishes made… to an extent, at least.” she says. “It’s not always the most consistent through line, and often they tend to have powers and abilities that are more tied to certain Magical inclinations.”
Pan actually speaks up, noting, “The ones I remember fighting with Grandpa, there was one that produced an aura that made you weaker, one that controlled electric slime, one that commanded powerful winds, one that could absorb and possess people and creatures, one that commanded fire and one that commanded ice, and the last… honestly he was just a big mean brute but he eventually ended up with the powers of all of them combined.”
Maple crosses her arms, commenting, “Brobro and I are gonna have to check all the wishes that’ve been made before then…”
The pink Kai lady nods at Maple. “I can’t say it will be a perfect match, but it’s also the best thing to start on to prepare for them. Additionally, I want this to be as clear as possible: no matter what some try to tell you, try to moralize about their actions, don’t come away from any of this thinking it was wrong to use the Dragon Balls to help others.”
That… encourages you all quite a bit. “Thank you, Supreme Kai of Time.” Maple tells her, giving a respectful bow.
Well... you do wanna head on over home, maybe check on Basilea too. But there’s one more thing that crosses your mind. “Hey… before we go, do you guys need help with anything? I mean we have a lot on our plates already, but, you know, Equivalent Exchange and all that.” Mom smiles at you for that.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6259803 “I mean there are plenty of things we could ask of you guys, but…” She stops for a moment, considering, “…Maaaaple. You remember a little trip to Planet Plant that you and Goku went on with Kami’s help?”
She tilts her head slightly, then snaps her fingers as she recalls. “Oh yeah! Where We met Daikon and Parsley and Ruta and-” Mom stops, flinching. “…And I blew up the moon. And we… kinda… took down King Vegeta...”
“I’m not gonna continue to pull your and Kami’s ears for that, you know, very unprecedented circumstances, lot happening very quickly and all that. But I would like some help looking into that again, especially with how… wildly it’s diverged.” She places her hands on her hips and sighs. “You guys can’t help but be Wild Cards…”
“What would you like from us, then?” she asks.
“After we find your Goku, how about you, him, and Piccolo help us do a little problem solving over there, sound good?” she requests. Turning to you, Gohan, and Izzy, she says next, “As for the three of you… while not an immediate thing, there are some places I think we could ask for your help with. Specifically, if we end up finding any more of those Dragon Balls, we’ll call for you. Sound good?”
“Yeah, sounds good to me.” Izzy confirms.
Gohan nods as well. “We’ve got two of them so far, so ideally there’d be only five more at most, right?”
“I feel like it’d give us some more insight into the Shadow Dragons.” you add. “All right, I’m game. Give us a call and we’ll be there.”
“Perfect! All right then, take care you all!” the Supreme Kai of Time says as she waves.
“Good luck, Peppa. Let’s do some shopping next time we meet.” Pan says with a smile.
Your counterpart raises her fist, and you bump your own against hers, with her saying, “I’m sure you and Cocoa will be great parents.”

>>6259804 Finally returning back home, you all arrive at Baba’s place again. And the moment you send her a telepathic message that you’re here, Cocoa almost bolts at you and hugs you tight. “Welcome back, Peppa.”
You hug her right back. “Thanks, Cocoa.”
Izzy walks over to Baba, commenting, “Still want me to give the Ghouls a solo run?”
“Another time. I actually would like you to come check on the… grub.” the elderly witch requests. “It’s been behaving oddly.”
She gives a tense look. “Ah. Okay. Yeah should… go do that.” And your cousin hurries off.
“Gonna head back home. Let me know if you need anything.” Gohan says, before letting out a “Kai Kai.” and teleporting away.
With Cocoa holding your hand, she asks, “So, where to next, Peppa?”
“Part of me just wants to take a nap for the next few hours, and a different part of me is too wound up with… everything I just learned to even begin to attempt sleep. It’s been a lot.” You rest your head on her shoulder. “Actually, you mind if we go check on both Basileas and Princess Misa for a bit? Might… be helpful getting some perspective in raising up a half-demon… third-demon…? …Partial-demon kid.”
“Sounds fair.” Cocoa agrees. “You know, you are taking to trying to be a parent pretty quickly.”
You rub the back of your neck. “Part of it might just be the nerves and how it’s come at me so sudden, but… it’s also genuine. I wanna do right for our daughter.”
She kisses you on the cheek. “All right.”
“That… and I know Basilea’s going to find this hilarious, and might as well get that over with.”

>>6259806 And after arriving there and explaining things… you were right on the money, with Basilea letting out a genuine, hearty laugh. It’s… somehow less mocking than you imagined it’d be. Still, it’s been a solid minute, not helped by her attendants finding it equally hilarious, Shun Shun being the most vocal, yet even Haru Haru seems to be incapable of holding back her laughter. Still though, Basilea’s laughing the hardest. “HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAA!”
“Okay, I think that’s enough.” Princess Misa finally speaks up, the younger demon girl giggling on her lap.
“Hahahaha… haa…” She sighs contentedly. “Okay… okay I think I’m good…”
“This is still probably the funniest result from you trying to turn yourself into a firework.” Shun Shun adds, chuckling to herself.
“Well, I at the very least would like to congratulate you both.” Princess Misa says with a kind smile.
“Thank you, your highness.” Cocoa responds politely, sipping from the cup of tea provided to her.

Apologies, a couple things came up again and it took a bit longer to get all this settled. We're back, but we're also close to calling this a wrap, just so you're all aware.
>>6259808 You give Basilea a bit of a side-eye before asking Misa, “So… Princess, what advice do you have for… dealing with a bratty, rebellious demon daughter?”
She very briefly glances at the elder Basilea as well, responding with, “Depending on how haughty and self-important she’s ended up with, either as the result of a terrible person raising her or her own attempt at finding a warped sense of self-worth, it might end up that you can only really connect with her after she’s had some of her ego checked.”
Basilea pouts, but she finds it hard to really argue with that. “Mmhh.”
“From there, you do what you can to catch up, show her all the affection she’s truly owed as your child. Let her understand that you do still care and want to be there for her.” She then pats the younger Basilea on the head, the baby giggling and babbling, with Princess Misa adding, “Though the sooner you can make it clear that you do want the best for her, the better. You may have a bit to really catch up on still, but from the sound of things, she’s still a kid. She’s still growing, and there’s likely a part of her that does want some kind of connection with you still, even if there’s some bitterness muddling it.”
You smile at her and nod appreciatively. “I’ll do what I can.”
“You, Cocoa, especially should take note of it.” Princess Misa adds. “You’ve gotta know where and how to put your foot down when handling a child like that. Your words will be your best weapon against her, so… might need to start practicing your ‘mom voice’ to use against her.”
“Got it.” she says assuredly.
“So… Basilea, you’ve been in situations at least mildly similar to hers. What would you say we should try to do to show we want to help her?” you address next.
“She likely believes herself to be stronger, smarter, and more capable than you are, but with the added acknowledgement that she knows you’ll try your best to catch up. Her tendency to try and vanish after completing an objective means she could have plenty of places she’d try to hide, especially if it means you failing to catch her after she’s completed another scheme. This… also indicates to me that she wants your attention, wants you to see her as important and worthy of respect.” Basilea explains… and it does sound like she’s speaking from years experience, more than even you’re aware of. And you’re aware of quite a bit. “There’s a careful balance of arrogant self-importance and clever tactics she’ll play against you, gambling out what she thinks will have the biggest impact on you.”

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6260406 …Shun Shun lets out an attempted nonchalant whistle. Little Basilea giggles and claps at that. The elder Basilea glares at her Majin attendant. “…What? I didn’t say anything!”
She turns her attention back to you. “The point is. That’s what to expect from her. That’s also how you can start to get back at her, working against those gambles and stacking the deck against her. It will still be risky, but those moments where she tries to taunt you will be the best chances you have at catching her by surprise.”
“Got it. I think I did notice something like that for a moment, she… just was too quick for me at the time.” you say.
“This is going to be someone that knows most of your moves, your skills, how you tend to act, even if she doesn’t share those same abilities.” Basilea adds. “You’ll likely have to find ways that could surprise even yourself.”
You give an acknowledging nod. Next up, one more question, “So… mind if I ask a bit about Beelzebub? Princess Misa, how’s it been with him managing his resistance movement against Towa and Dabura? I’ve been helping him plenty, and I know he’s tried to keep any of their attention away from you, but I’d like to know your side of things as well.” You next turn to the red demon lady, asking, “And how about you, Basilea? How are the two of you getting along now? I know things were… kinda shaky for a time, so it could help give me some idea on how to reconcile.”
Basilea answers first, stating, “All things considered, leagues better than they were when we started. For a time he still thought I was still too far gone, too much a tool of Towa, something he needed to stop rather than save, and if anything there was a part of me that wanted him dead… probably projecting much of my anger against the father from my timeline’s failure to match up against Towa and Dabura. For a time I didn’t really know if reconciliation could be possible for the both of us, even if he started to regret his actions after hearing about how you… showed me mercy. But, eventually… we both were able to talk things out after Towa decided I was too much trouble to keep around.” She looks toward Princess Misa. “Helped a bit by mo- …Princess Misa putting in the effort first.” She looks down in mild embarrassment.
Princess Misa giggles. “It’s okay sweetie. I don’t mind.”
Under her breath, Basilea grumbles, “It’s embarrassing though…”
“As for BB’s resistance movement, I do worry about him a lot, but still he does try to make time for us. We do what we can to balance out all that’s going on in our lives, especially with this little bundle of joy added to them.” She nuzzles little Basilea affectionately.
The tiny demon girl babbles out an equally affectionate “Ba ba!” right back at her.

>>6260409 “Still, what’s important is that we try to be there for each other.” That comment seems to be as much addressed to you as it to Cocoa. She then leans in just a bit, adding, “Been the one helping him come up with some of his strategies, he’s got the charisma to lead but even he needs some help actually planning out proper campaigns. That and mixing things up with a few pranks here and there keeps them guessing.”
“And the two of you are supposed to be adults…” Basilea mutters, pouting again.
Cocoa giggles. “Glad to hear that the both of you are able to still do something like that, even with as serious as things get.” She then looks at the two Majin girls, asking, “So… what about the both of you? Are you two also helping wherever you can?”
“Our loyalty is to Princess Basilea.” Haru Haru declares. “Both of them, now. While the elder Basilea is still our primary protective goal, we will do everything we can to ensure the younger counterpart is safe as well.”
“Plus the two of you are fantastic nannies.” Princess Misa adds, her smile genuine yet you can tell there’s a hint of teasing in there.
>A. All right, I think that’s all. Thank you all for your time, and best of luck! >B. Basilea, is there anything that we can do for you? You’ve done a lot for us, after all >C. …Say, Shun Shun, is King Kadan still trying to arrange something with you and…? >D. Something else? Anonymous

My apologies that this has happened again. Been exhausted these last few nights.
>>6260411 You get up, giving them a bow. “Thank you all for your time. This has helped a lot.”
Cocoa does the same, saying, “We’ll take all you’ve said to heart.”
“Babuhbaahppaaa!” the little Basilea calls out, making grabby hands toward you.
“Hehe, I think she wants some attention from you.” Princess Misa comments.
You approach with a smile, asking in a cutsey voice, “Who’s Basilly? Whoooo’s Basillysilly? You are, yes you are!” You blow a raspberry and tickle her with your tail, the little demon girl giggling joyfully as you play with her.
Basilea crosses her arms and pouts again. “Must you?”
“She likes me.” you retort, with little Basilea clapping and babbling again. “Still, truly, thanks. Is there anything that we can do for you? You’ve done a lot for us in these last few months, so it’s only fair we return the favor.”
“I…” She hesitates, looking away as she considers it. Glancing at Princess Misa, she grumbles and says in a quiet but reluctant voice, “I could… use some help trying to socialize better…”
“...R-really…?” you ask hesitantly.
“Don’t… read too much into it.” she growls. “…But I’ve been keeping to my own fairly frequently unless pulled out for something important by you or Izumi. And if I am going to actually live here… I might as well at least try.”
You notice Princess Misa nodding approvingly at that. You and Cocoa look at one another, and after a slight “Why not?” shrug, you agree. “Sure. That sounds fine. Gonna have to find some things to try out for ya.”
“You certainly could do with some shopping.” Cocoa comments. “Something more casual, y’know?”
“Hmnh.” she snorts dismissively, but doesn’t try to complain about the offer.
“One last thing, Princess Misa, I think I’ll need to continue coordinating with Beelzebub a bit more frequently, both helping out his resistance and now keeping an eye out for Reapa.” you comment. “I at least assume she’s going to be staying in the Demon Realm for some time, but if we see her elsewhere, we’d like to keep him updated on that too.”
“Of course. We’ll keep in touch. And Peppa? Cocoa? I’m sure the two of you will make great parents.”
“We’ll do our best.” Cocoa replies.
“Thanks again, until next time!”
(cont.)
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6260522 So… with that all settled, you and Cocoa think on where to head next, mostly as just a place to relax for a bit. Somewhere out of the way, a smaller place that you’ve been before. And that’s when you remember Natade Village. The two of you decide to head there, and you both get a little surprised when you arrive, because someone else is there too.
“Woah, Cocoa, Peppa!” Lime, dressed in a light uniform with a Capsule Corp. logo on it, calls out as you both fly down to her. “Funny seeing you two here.”
“Likewise, what’s the occasion?” Cocoa asks.
“Weeeeell, got interned for a little summer expedition trying to salvage treasure from a pirate ship that was found in a glacier up here.” she replies. “Just got done cataloging some of that stuff.”
That… sounds familiar. You take a moment to recall when you were last here, finally remembering the pirate ship. “Ahhh, right! …Did they find any other evil teddy bears in there?”
“Psh. Nah. That-” She pauses, realizing something. “Wait that was you! Riiiight, heh, kinda forgot you helped out here too when this whole operation got started. Dang, my little helper told me all about that when I first started helping out here.”
As if on cue, there’s a soft gasp from nearby from a familiar voice. “P-Peppa? Cocoa?” The two of you turn to face a girl with curly but braided blonde hair, a bit younger than any of you, in a light, traditional, red and white dress. “It’s so good to see you again!”
“Good to see you too, Coco.” you reply with a sweet smile. Ah, now this is a trip down memory lane…

>>6260562 thank you
All right, we're back!
>>6260523 You and Cocoa catch up with Lime some more, with Coco leading you all through the village. You notice it looks even better than it did before, a few more greenhouses set up, the homes around the village with better foundations and living quarters while still keeping their more traditional style, most of them even having smaller, more recreational gardens close to the residences in addition to the proper fields. It’s a very pleasant place, and still looks like it’s been doing better than it was when you first came here.
“...and that’s when I had to knock the guy out, before he got the gold and unsealed the curse again. What is it about pirate gold specifically that draws out the crazies and the foolhardy?” Lime finally finishes recounting a story about how she uncovered one of the researchers there had been tempted by the prospect of riches from a sunken treasure chest that originated from the pirate ship. “So enough about me though, what’ve you two lovebirds been up to?”
Cocoa looks toward you, “…You wanna tell her, or should I?”
Lime raises an eyebrow. She then briefly glances down, commenting, “Not seeing any rings, so I can guess the two of you aren’t getting hitched.”
Coco gasps softly, asking in a surprised, but shy and quiet voice, “Y-you can do that…?”
“I mean yeah, of course it is, but…” Cocoa looks at you again.

>>6261002 She's working for them for this little research expedition.
>>6260999 “I think I’ve broken the news enough times already, you go ahead Cocoa.” you tell your girlfriend with a smile.
She nods, then takes both your hands in hers, glancing back at Lime. “Well… it was very unexpected, but as of this morning, Peppa learned that she’s become a dad.”
Lime stares blankly, while Coco blushes brightly, holding both hands in front of her face. “Wh-wh-wh-wha…?” the younger girl stammers.
“...So I might not have the BEST grades in biology but uh.” Lime squints a bit. “Is this like, an adoption thing? …Are you even old enough to do that?”
“No, no. No adoption. It came as quite the surprise to me as well.” Cocoa says with utter sincerity, kinda milking the growing confusion on Lime’s face for all it’s worth, your friend now flustered by the news. “I will say I was ready to slap the person that I thought caused our little… new bundle of joy to come into the world.”
“Yeah, she did say she would slap Towa.” you confirm. “But, no, this was no scheme by hers.”
“Still will if she lays a hand on our girl.” Cocoa adds. You love your girlfriend so much.
Lime takes a moment to really process all this new information. “Okay that’s at least BETTER context, but…”
“Let’s find a place to sit to really explain all of this.” Cocoa suggests, with you just following her lead. As you do though, you look around the village some more. It IS really nice, out of the way but with a strong little community around it still, a nice little halfway point between your home up in the mountains and something like true city living. You get out your sketchpad and make a few little drawings of the landscape, it does feel like a really nice place to live, preferable almost. Eh, something to think on when you’re older. Heh… you also realize you have made quite a few sketches recently, might want to organize them a bit better some time.
And so as Cocoa recounts more of the specifics of what you told her, with you sketching out some storyboards for the girls for some dramatic effect, Lime is eased a bit and has… both less questions than she did, while still a number more new ones. Coco on the other hand is enthralled by it, as if listening to a proper storyteller, enhanced all the more with your storyboard sketches. Lime sits back a bit, exhaling deeply.

>>6261206 “Peppa, I’m not gonna lie. DAMN do you live a life I could never even hope to manage half of. Like you are the last person I expected to end up with an accidental kid to begin with, and those specific circumstances are NOT what I would have expected even if you were to have one.” Lime finally lets out. “And Cocoa, you’re a hell of a trooper to even try to keep up with all that. Not everyone would be handling this as well as you are.”
“It’s almost like a fairy tale…” Coco comments. “A magic daughter, and demons and monsters and people from other realms, wooow…”
“...So, are the two of you like… actually going to go through with this as a ‘family’ and whatnot?” Lime finally asks, rubbing the side of her head.
Hoo boy. Hell of a question there. “Well. I need to catch the little hellion first. Or at the very least get her in a position where we can talk things out with her a bit.” you reply. “That way we can have her come to the wedding.”
Cocoa smiles bashfully at that, blushing and nodding. “Yeah. I… do want to be there for her as a parent as well, she’s OUR daughter, even if how she came to be was not exactly something anyone could have planned for. But her understanding that comes first.”
Coco smiles sweetly at the two of you, adding, “I hope that happens soon then.”
Lime crosses her arms, smiling a little. “You two really are thinking of it, huh?”
“I mean… not in the near term, of course.” you reply.
“Y-yeah, there’s still quite some time before we’ll really be at a point like that.” Cocoa adds, rubbing the back of her neck. She does however place her hand on top of yours and gives you an affectionate look. “Whatever is ahead though, I wanna be there with you, Peppa, however I can be. I want to face what’s to come together with you.” She then leans against you, smiling happily.
You lean against her as well. “Together.” you affirm. There may be tough times ahead, but you will not be facing them alone. You will have your friends, your family, your comrades and rivals... and especially, your Cocoa.

Izzy should check on Nazar and also all the Nemurian stuff. Peppa should check up on Machine Mutants and the Not-Transformers situation. Hang out with Sachie, and see if Yurin would be up to helping us with Reapa. Ninjas might have a trick or two she wont expect.

Also, an idea for Reapa: Peppa can appeal to her in a competitive way. Even if shes unfindable, if Peppa issues a challenge to, like, pants as many guys as possible within a fifteen minute window that could be a roundaboit way to engage with her.

For Izzy, forming back up with her gang and really settling the aftermath of both the last Nemurian expedition and her brief foray into capital d Destruction, and what those things mean for her. She doesn't slow down and think much.
For Peppa I think just an opportunity to actually talk to her new daughter, either introducing Cocoa or setting up a family visit, but something more substantial than barbs during a fight.

Quoted By:
>>6261861 >attempt to lure Reapa out of hiding through a pantsing competition(?) It... was one example. The actual idea is to engage with her indirectly, building on the sorts of things Reapa already likes to do, without creating any conflict or demands. A small thing just so theres something.
It would probably be better to find out what shenanigans shes currently up to first then work from there.

I thought it would have been interesting if she didn't just succeed at first, if she had a rival who would prove to be a major hurdle for her. It would show that her life has its own mountains to surpass. And if we see her working hard for her dreams in the face of setbacks, we'd want to root for her instead of take her succeeding for granted.

My sincerest apologies for the delay, was making sure that I've gotten the most out of all the material you guys suggested. Turns out that took even more time than I thought it would. I will probably not have it done tonight before I end up passing out again. Instead the post will be out tomorrow by around 4 pm PST. From there, I'll keep things open for a bit for a proper post-thread chat and talk on where we will go from here. So until then, again, stay safe out there, and see ya then!

Okay! No more delays! The finale for Dragon Ball Tuffle Quest starts NOW!
>>6261207 In the days following the latest adventures, the Tuffle trio take time to process all that’s happened, starting over with Izumi…
https://youtu.be/uVWXA6JtthA?si=U2YNuOhbb7o78hPM “So… you’re still not entirely sure how you managed to harness that ‘Destructive’ power?” Sachie questions. She’d come over again recently as part of her own summer vacation starting, and the two of you did want to catch up some. So here, you both relax at your home, in the castle’s courtyard.
“Not quite. It’s more like… there’s a part of me that actually does remember the feeling of it, but actually being able to replicate it is just outside of my reach. Yet the ‘sensation’ of it isn’t… gone, if that makes sense.” You form a Spirit Bit and have it circle around your hand. “It’s something different from proper Magic. Stronger. More dangerous. And yet…” you let your voice trail off as you try to process how to properly express this. When you last talked with Nazar about this, they expressed that “Destruction” is and always will be an important part of “Balance” right alongside “Creation.” That you were able to comprehend the power of Destruction was something they almost held in a celebratory tone, but one it also cautioned against rushing into, lest seeking that power starts to take hold of your mind.
…Which led to a rather unpleasant thought you’d brought up with Maple the other day. A worry that you… might be holding on to some rather self-centered thoughts. Fiercely competitive and yet holding on to a worry about being left behind even after all you’ve done. That you’ll at some point hit your peak, and it’s all downhill from there. Even bringing up a concern that you… on some level look down on dad as someone that didn’t catch up to her. It’s not a thing he’s ever really verbalized, but you have seen what you’ve felt are glimpses of that, that maybe he lamented the fact that he ended up “second best” compared to her. And yet, and yet, could that be because you got a taste of that power of Destruction, and as Nazar said, there’s a part of your mind that wants it again, worries about being denied it? How much of that thought is your own, and how much of it is your mind trying to construe some kind of scenario that will lead you back on the path of Destruction?
Maple… tried to reassure you, explain to you that if there ever were feelings of your father playing second fiddle to her, they’ve long since talked it out. And yet…

>>6262914 *Tuffle Quest Kai aaaagh. sorry.
>>6262914 “...and yet a part of you might still want it, boss?” Don Para asks, he and his brothers listening on with Cheelai and Sachie.
You nod. “I… might. I’ve been trying to take stock in how I want to develop my own powers. This might be something I actually can learn to develop on my own… but there feel like so many risks that come with trying to do that. How far will I NEED to go to actually do that?”
Cheelai crosses her arms. “Well… if you want my opinion, boss? You’ve got your heart in the right place. You were willing to put your neck on the line to give us a chance at reformation, after all. If you do end up going down that path, you’ll find a way to make it work.”
“Yeah totally.” Sachie agrees. “Buuuut if you need a friend or two to help keep you in check somehow, or even just talk things out, you know who to call.” she adds with a wink.
Bon Para laughs. “Haha, what better way to repay ya than helping pull ya back when you start going astray yourself?” His brothers share encouraging nods.
That… does feel reassuring. “Thanks, guys.”
“Kids, hot dogs are ready!” the Ox King calls out from his grill, getting your attention, and the attention of mom, dad, and Monty.
“Be right there gramps!” you yell back.
Sachie leaps to her feet, noticing, “Oooh, he made tako dogs too! …You know Zarid had never actually tried one until recently? He thought I kept talking about like, a hot dog in a corn tortilla shell. He got all embarrassed when he realized he got that wrong.” She sighs and shakes her head. “I swear that guy’s too uptight sometimes.”
“Peppa loves those things. I’ve seen her dance ‘em around like little puppets during lunch.” you comment with a little giggle. “And thanks, guys. I guess ever since everyone got separated, my mind’s been so focused on trying to keep everyone’s hopes up that I wasn’t really putting in the time to slow things down a bit. This helped.”
“Any time.” Cheelai replies, with the Para Para brothers giving an encouraging cheer. “Now come on, let’s get those hot dogs before your cousins catch a whiff sneak in and take half of ‘em.”
“HOT DOGS!” Son Para yells.
“They aren’t bloodhounds, Cheelai.” you tell her with a laugh.
“Wait, Earth has blood hounds too?” Bon Para asks in surprise.
“Probably not the ones you’re thinking of.” Sachie says, though she checks with you and asks, “…Right?”
You just laugh. Why not leave them guessing?
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6262916 And over with Gohan…
https://youtu.be/mSydF0KppuU?si=l25u9aUxKToTj9ch You’d been rather busy as of late, helping out with the Supreme Kais a bit, showing the Grand Kai the Pick of Destiny you got (which greatly impressed him, as he’d heard of such a demonic artifact before), checking up on Leo again back at Tommy’s old village, and just recently a jam session with Buu, Zarid, and even Phantasma, and now the four of you are over at Melchior’s place for some downtime, with you specifically having him look into the changes in the Muramasa.
“So… within it resides another individual, one whose presence became more noticeable as you tried to draw in yet more of Janemba.” he summarizes. “And each of the new shards allowed it to take on a different form.”
“Yes sir.” you confirm. Nearby, Buu, Zarid, and Phantasma talk with the Ancient Nemurian lady Izzy rescued, Wyerta Gasuta… which came as a bit of a surprise, as while she had made a lot of progress picking up more modern language, Zarid somehow was able to understand her original one, apparently through some kind of alien universal translator thing. Convenient, certainly.
Anyway, you demonstrate each of the forms, with Melchior taking careful interest in how the changes in the blade’s shape manifest. “Ah… ah, I see!” he exclaims. “I think, Gohan, I have a better understanding of the blade’s new properties now.”
“You do, sir?”
He nods and smiles. “Your prior efforts to calm the sealed Janemba allowed this person a chance to ‘speak up’ in a way. Or rather, ‘awakened’ may be a better way to put it. Similar to how Masa and Mune reside within Acer’s blade, the Muramasa has both spirits within it awakened. Unlike the Masamune, however, this blade has the ogre’s spirit more solid and tame, while Janemba’s is wild, chaotic, malleable, and influenced by the other forms it had taken with the separate shards. The former is now working with you to direct that chaotic energy into specific forms, but the latter has far more power than it did before, if unfocused. There is more risk with using its power, but there is also more opportunity if you can better harmonize with the ogre’s spirit within as well. A combined effort within and without keeping Janemba’s power in check.”
You look down at the Muramasa, trying to focus your mind toward the ogre, Saike, as you learned his name was, and attempting to ask him a simple question, ‘What would best help us work together, best harmonize us to keep the Muramasa in check?’
And though it does seem to take some considerable effort to actually respond, his response is clear, direct, and brings a smile to your face. ‘Gohan, dude? I wanna rock.’
…
You know what?
You can work with that.
You grin, then turn to face Buu, Zarid, and Phantasma. “Guys? I think we just found another band member.”
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6262921 And finally with Peppa…
https://youtu.be/oeSMc1HUEXU?si=Ge4zncLdKJFH-mtd Things were quite busy for you too. You did have a moment where you returned to Varak, alongside mom, Kuriza, the Galactic King, and some other representatives, to try to smooth things over with the Machine Mutants and the original residents of the world, but… even with Mugen’s “help” the initial negotiations seemed VERY tense. A number of things kinda went above your head, and there were a LOT of Machine Mutants that weren’t especially pleased with your presence there in general. It… didn’t end with any outbreaks of violence, but it also didn’t exactly leave the best first impression. Uranaio DID at least give the impression that this would not be the last attempt to negotiate, but… wow could that have gone better. He also did give you a rather cryptic remark about how you’ve “defied fate” and… you think it was meant in a positive way? Hope so, at least.
On a more genuinely positive note, you were able to make time for Cocoa’s next play, a performance of “Mademoiselle de Maupin,” where while she didn’t score the lead role of the sword-fighting, free-loving, opera star La Maupin herself (that going to her rival Marjorine), she did (almost ironically) score the role of the first lady love of the lead. You’d have felt a bit more awkward about such a thing if not for the fact that that part of the play was genuinely hilarious, with you bursting out loud at Cocoa’s delivery of “Really now, arson, my dear? …With only ONE cadaver for them to blame it on?” during a scheme to fake their deaths in order to escape a convent. That and the actual final lady love interest of La Maupin being played by a different girl, apparently a close friend of Marjorine named Marsha, had a lot more adorable chemistry on stage than Cocoa did with her. The play closed out on the multiple men and women that served as lovers and rivals to La Maupin delivering summaries of their time with her in song, Cocoa’s certainly being a stand-out among them.

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6262940 But that finally brings you to now. You met with Yurin and her ninja for a time to try and work out a way to draw out Reapa for… at least a proper talk. Not… all of the ideas you discussed on how to draw her attention were what you would call “good” ones (and you are sure Cocoa is not gonna let you live down bringing up the panties again as a lure, nor the… other idea), but you DO end up finding one thing that has the potential of drawing her attention. Messing with Dabura’s forces, the Gendarmerie policing force especially.
It does take some time before the ploy actually works, lot of stealthily sneaking into bases, messing with documents, misplacing uniforms, and general small mischief before you get an idea that both actually sticks and gets her willing to compete. Finding a way to remove some of the Katchin collars that have been forced on the populace of the Demon Realm. Apparently, under normal circumstances, actually removing such a thing would either require the assistance of one of the Kais to break both the Magic and Material itself or learning the skill from one of them directly (at least going off what Prince Beelzebub told you, as he’d done the latter). But you found a third method.
Katchin can be cut!
Or rather, pierced through with a drill, in your case.
After you end up freeing some residents, it becomes clear she’s tried to do the same elsewhere in the third realm, and while it isn’t always for… for the best people (freeing some less noble criminals and thugs right alongside innocents, just to cause some more chaos), the fact remains that she does end up trying it. Reapa even actually ends up popping up on Earth at one point to taunt you about how she’s already outdoing you yet again.
Buuuut that’s when Yurin’s help comes in handy. Because some of her ninja manage to help hide Cocoa’s presence while your daughter is trying to taunt you. Reapa, standing on the head of a statue, crosses her arms as she smugly remarks, “And that brings my record all the way up to… a hundred and eight now! Hm? Whaaaat, surprised? Well sorry papa Peppa, but looks like I’m just gonna keep surpassing you. I mean it’s not like you can really blame me though, I AM your flesh and blood… with a bit extra.” She places two fingers on her forehead. “Maybe next time you’ll-”
(cont.)
Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6262951 “SON. REAPA.” Cocoa’s voice yells out at her in the tone that makes it clear she would have used a middle name too if the kid had one (should... probably consider that some day). It’s enough to genuinely startle her, the girl stumbling and nearly falling off the statue, having to grab on to its head. Your girlfriend marches on closer to the confused girl. “Now you listen here young lady!” she huffs, placing her hands on her hips as she stares the very confused Reapa down. “She has been trying for months to even just get your attention, and you aren’t even going to give her a single moment to hear her out?”
The shocked look on her face makes it clear that she both isn’t used to being scolded and yet mildly confused as to why she isn’t trying to escape anyway. “But…” she tries to mumble out.
“No ‘buts’ young lady.” Cocoa cuts off, wagging her finger. “Now you are going to sit down right there and listen to her.” She points at the base of the statue… and Reapa actually listens and does just that.
You take a couple steps closer, but Reapa shoots you a glare before you get too close. You hold your hand over your heart and smile gently at her. “Reapa… I really am sorry that I left you like that. I didn’t know, genuinely, and… yet, I still set us off on the wrong foot when we did meet. If you’re going to consider me your ‘papa’ then I’ll accept that, but in turn, I ask that you please let me be a parent to you. Let the both of us be parents to you.” You gesture at Cocoa with your other hand, with her walking toward you and holding yours with hers. “I know it might not be easy starting off… but I do want the best for you. Okay?”
“Peppa and I talked about it quite a lot.” she confirms, now much sweeter and more welcoming. “I know how things have been, how alone you must have felt. And if you think of her as your papa, then I’m gonna try to be there for you as your mama. If you’ll let that come to pass.”
She… blushes, then pouts at you. “Gonna need more than words for me to really believe that.” She places her fingers on her forehead again.
“Reapa.” Cocoa’s voice calls to her, still a sweetness in her tone but much more strict again. “We are not done with this conversation.”
“Probably not. Buuuut I’m also not gonna have it now. So. Bleh!” she responds quickly as she sticks her tongue out at the two of you, yet under her breath… she lets out an almost but not quiet silent, and yet much more genuine, “Sorry mama…”

Kato !!wYE8RLbcAJL
>>6262961 “Reapa!” Cocoa calls to her, which gets her to flinch, but doesn’t stop her from teleporting away. She sighs. “…Went better than we feared, at least.”
“I think she likes ya.” you tell Cocoa with a cheeky smile, which gets her to boop you on the nose. “…Also you already have a way better mom voice than I do.”
“Hehe, well, needed some coaching from my own mother for that.” she says with a giggle. “Still… we managed the first step with her.”
“That we did.” you affirm, giving her hand a gentle squeeze, with Cocoa squeezing right back. “Thank you, Cocoa.”
“We’ll bring her home some day. Promise.” she tells you lovingly. The two of you lean in and kiss, then look off toward the sky. She’s still out there somewhere. Dad’s still out there somewhere too. But your girlfriend is right, some day, somehow, you will be able to bring them back home. Back to your family.
All of it.
“Love you, Cocoa.”
“Love you too, Peppa.”

I do have some negative things to point out.
>>6262921 Phantasma's ability on the piano is an Informed Ability, something that's a peeve of mine. I would have liked to see a scene where she hangs out with Gohan and introduces the ability instead of "She plays piano now? She plays piano now." Gohan could have gotten a bit more time in his epilogue I feel.
>>6262940 And Cocoa's acting is still an informed ability, regrettably. Saying something is hilarious and being hilarious are two different things, we need set-up and context to a joke so we can be in Peppa's and laugh.
>>6261206 We give her chances to act with the retelling of Peppa's meeting with Reapa and the Ghost Story, but if her performance isn't glossed over, it's just rote exposition.
But these don't ruin things, I just have a bone to pick with Informed Abilities and Telling as opposed to Showing.
>>6263014 But in some cases, yes, a conversation needs to be shown rather than told. GoT Season 8 did that, it cut away from hard conversations where Jon revealed to his family that the dragon lady is totally cool, in fact, they're related even! It cut away from the reveal and fallout of those talks and rejoined those characters when they were talking about something else and eating hot pies in the shape of dogs.
Character interactions like eating hot dogs can be fun, but we can't dismiss the confrontations even if they can get uncomfortable. In fact it can even be dangerous, I honestly thought Maple didn't think Chi-Chi's pressure on Izumi was noteworthy, and thought less of her for it. In fact, it's a bit concerning that it wasn't deemed noteworthy enough to include in the post, as it does tie into Izumi wanting to get as far away and as often as possible from her parents as she can. And even here they're not around. It all paints a very concerning picture.
My theory is that Izumi had the expectation to succeed placed on her by Chi-Chi, and Acer, also wanting his daughter to succeed where he thinks he failed, let Chi-Chi do whatever. With a mother being all gas gas gas with a father who doesn't put the brakes on that at all, Izumi would fear her mother and not expect much from her father. And then she succeeded where the both of them failed in the preliminaries of the Cash tournament, and her respect for them plummets. It's the logical conclusion of their parenting, she's a success and they aren't, so she has nothing else to learn from them.
It's a sad family dynamic. I wish we could have seen them trying to fix this at the cookout.

That could be why Izzy was only interested in showing off how much better she was over Phanty. She wasn't looking to test her friend's skills, she was wanting to style on another crony of hers to prove her superiority.
>>6262998 Does Izumi have any school friends? I know Videl is one but she's also a childhood friend. Would Izzy ever pull pranks on people in her everyday life? Say... if someone did better than her on a test for instance, and their locker would look better with glitter in it?

>>6263775 No, too cruel a question. For all her faults, Izumi is a hero. I just worry the Brave Princess could go too far and become the Brute instead.

>>6264719 >I was trying to bring out her full potential by taunting her Okay, now what if what we saw here was Izumi trying to do the same thing with her smacktalk while not going all-out to curbstomp her friend before she could do anything?
>"Reapa" isn't any specialty of Hell ...grrrahhhgh. Why did you say that, that's just gonna bug me to no end! Especially after she turned her nose up at Emberly.
Do gotta admit that Bonney is the best name, very fitting, but Reapa is also still the best. Even still, for now we must reap what we sow.
>>6262961 >she would have used a middle name too if the kid had one (should... probably consider that some day). ...but we can choose again later.
>>6263220 >Maybe not now, but soon, hehehehe. Something funny I found with the surname "Amaguri" is that it means Chestnut, which is also a red-brown color/wood.

Thank you all for that feedback. I will still keep things open for any further discussion, and I probably won't make a solid decision for another month or two, but I've taken into account the preferences y'all have outlines so far.
With that said though, there is one more thing I would like to give to all of you. One last little sendoff, an epilogue, a hint at things to come, and a message to all of you.
Hope you enjoy it!
https://youtu.be/jSTdqvea_K8?si=FGg7CmjeQf9lbK2G Bulma works on one of the MOGUERA units outside on Capsule Corp’s lawn, Giru and 16 helping her with the task, with diagnostics comparing it with one of the Leon units provided by Haru Haru. Inside, Pantea meanwhile awkwardly accepts offered help from a flirtatious Sala as she works on the framework for a new, humanoid robot, Hado and Jaki sighing and shrugging as they shake their heads.
Deep in the Demon Realm, the girl that accepted and embraced the name “Son Reapa” once more tests her skills. The skills inherited from her “papa”, the skills she wants to develop further, the skills she would develop on her own terms, all to show that she could, that she would, only keep growing stronger. Under the watchful eye of an ancient Namekian, Reapa’s aura flares up a deep crimson red and black, yet with a flash of gold still shining through…
At Mifan Palace, Daikon and Baozi play games together while Suno, Pilaf, Shu, and Mai watch over them. Outside, Vegeta floats in a meditative position beside Tien, Shao, and Lao. Elsewhere, Chiaotzu has 19 work alongside him as he further trains his time stopping skills. Near the palace, General Blue takes Otokosuki on a restaurant date, while Keli has a bashful but appreciative Melee try on a wedding dress.
Off in a remote region of space, on a nearly barren world, a woman in a pirate captain’s outfit works with her cronies to haul up a strange object with a dark crystal in the middle of it. The pirate smirks, for the demon lady had been truthful after all. Soon enough the, she’d be able to harness its power all for herself…
Over on Monster Island, Krillin, Lapis, and Chuu Lee instruct Nappa on some of the Yardratian Spirit Control techniques, the large Saiyan balancing on a tall spire. Nearby, Lazuli relaxes on a beach, watching over Marron and Tommy playing in the sand, Gamera resting in the waves close by as Godzilla swims off to break up a fight between two other kaiju.
Elsewhere in the Demon Realm, Neuros of the Cell Sentai walks with Glorio toward a meeting with someone that had caught their interest. Said someone turns out to be a Kai woman, or “Glind” as they were called by Demons there, sitting on a broomstick-hookah hybrid contraption. A smug, condescending expression on her face immediately reminds Neuros of Towa, to his mild displeasure, yet there’s something about her that seems more cooperative. He rubs his chin and smirks; perhaps this could lead to a more… mutually beneficial partnership…

>>6265352 At Satan Castle, Mark and Miguel Satan listen on as Jaco and Captain Ginyu make their pitches to Videl for her to join their respective groups, the girl herself laughing awkwardly and moreso trying to help keep the peace between them before they start getting too argumentative, Raditz facepalming. Nearby, 16 keeps watch on Dr. Gero, with the most recent topic of conversation between them being something Yurin’s ninja had uncovered: sign of another party working under the banner of the Red Ribbon Army…
On the Lookout, Tripitaka and Piccolo place the red Dragon Ball in a chamber after they finish conducting further analysis on its makeup, with Mr. Popo locking it up tight, Yosei helping put a seal on it to keep it secure. Sugoro and Shusugoro call them all over, the pair stating that they have grub ready. Walking off, the group passes by a room with an ofuda seal on it, with Trip recalling something the sole, permanent inhabitant of the room expressed; that when the Promised Day came, all the hard work that the heroes of Earth would be for naught. Trip knew it was no empty threat, but instead of discouraging her, she resolved to place her faith in those below to ensure such a thing would not come to pass.
In the furthest reaches of the cosmos of Universe 7, on a world shaped like an upside-down pyramid with a gigantic tree in its center, an eccentric man with a large halo around his neck walks up toward a palace situated in the tree. He’s headed inside to ensure the alarm bombs were all set and functioning as intended. Soon enough, it would be time for the being he was attendant toward to awaken once again. For the God of Destruction to rise once more. The man, the Angel, thought about some of the things he’d seen in the universe at large. Quite a lot had changed since the Destroyer went back into his slumber, possibly for the better, given how he had noticed some life slowly returning to a certain dead galaxy overflowing with Negative Energy (said energy even vanishing in an instant; perhaps the work of a set of Dragon Balls, he ponders). Yet he also is not sure how well the Destroyer would take the rather… unprecedented appearance of a world from another Universe ending up adrift in theirs. His little brother, ever desiring to help the mortals, hoped with all his heart that they could spare such a place from the potential wrath of not just one God of Destruction, but perhaps even two, but even he was at a loss as to how.

>>6265355 His musings turn to the charming and energetic redheads he met once on planet Metamor. It brings a smile to his face, especially as he recalls how one of them seemed to make quite a name for herself. The Supreme Kai… or rather East Supreme Kai, as his Southern and Grand counterparts once more have rejoined the realm of the living, had rather positive things to say about her, at the very least. His thoughts wander further, musings over many of the other things that had happened since his Lord last awakened. He also spares a passing thought toward those camels he sold to that eccentric merchant so long ago…
In a place far beyond familiar space and time, your Goku takes a fighting stance beside two other Saiyans, twin brothers of a righteous lineage, behind them a nominal ally of demonic lineage, staring down a phantom of the Saiyans’ past. A burly, massive Saiyan with long spiky hair and red eyes filled with unyielding hatred, his mere presence, though a mere shadow of its true self, radiating power beyond anything Goku had faced before… and yet he couldn’t help but feel excited facing such a challenge. Still, he couldn’t, wouldn’t let that overcome his desire to make it home some day. It was another battle he’d have to, that he WOULD, win.
“All right Shallot, Giblet, let’s do this!” Goku declares, powering up, the two beside him shouting in agreement. His aura blazes with a golden light for a moment, yet then it calms, with a blazing red yet focused tint taking over, with Goku closing his eyes. The hair on his head changes from black to a vibrant magenta red, and when he opens his eyes, his irises take on that same color. The mere sight of the form enrages the monstrous phantom of a Saiyan, but Goku and his allies refuse to back down. Just one more foe to overcome, one more limit to break, one step closer to returning home.

>>6265357 Sitting outside her home, with her kids resting soundly back inside, Maple looks up toward the sky. She reflects upon all the people she’s met since arriving on Earth, all the friends she’s made, all the skills that she’s learned, all the foes she’s faced, all the good she’s tried to do for her adoptive home. Her thoughts drift back to her monkey boy, her Goku, still lost somewhere in distant space, in time unknown to her… and yet she for as much as she misses him, she knows deep in her heart that he’s okay. That nothing’s going to keep him down for long. And that some day, he’ll be back home.
https://youtu.be/gVpL8rl-jb4?si=6lGYqnfeB9r3wyhO And yet her thoughts next turn toward… you. All of you. “It’s been quite some time since I last heard from you guys. I know you’ve been trying to help them too. Peppa, Gohan, Izzy, I can tell that they’ve heard your guidance before, and I’m sure they’ll hear it again. I… don’t quite know if you’ll all hear this, but I’d like to believe at least some of you will. I hope you guys are doing well.” Maple says to you with a nostalgic smile on her face. “It was… fun. Lots of fun. Ups and downs and all. I hope some day we get to meet again, but if that doesn’t happen… then I’m glad that we met in the first place, and I thank you all for what help you’ve been able to give us. Until next we meet, take care, everyone.”

>>6265358 May not have always been an especially active player in this but I have always enjoyed reading this quest. Few can really boast a run even half as as long as this one had, and it takes some real dedication to have stuck with running this for that long. So even if you do plan to continue elsewhere I appreciate giving us all this one last bit of closure here, Kato. I'll miss Maple and the kids, but I'll wish the best for them all the same. Thanks again.
