    With the Tournament of Power brought to a close, the Seventh Universe has emerged triumphant once more. Led by the Saiyan warriors, the Seventh's victory was secured. And with the wish on the Super Dragon Balls used to restore the other universes that were eliminated and erased, the final hidden trial was passed, and all eight of the universes up for elimination were allowed to remain. Yet, even with this victory, peace doesn't last in the Seventh Universe for long. As old hatreds rise and long-buried grudges resurface, will you have what it takes to keep everything you've worked the last 28 years of your life to build? Or will those who seek your end ultimately triumph? That all depends on you, and your choices.

    You the players will (most often) control Karn. A Saiyan man who has grown from his lowly beginnings as a mid-tier Saiyan Brawler with a sub-3000 powerlevel in Age 733 to become not only the strongest Saiyan of his time at AGE 759, but also personal friend to the former emperor Lord Freeza, father to over a dozen powerful and unique children, a mentor and teacher to his fellow Saiyans, and the indisputable winner of the Tournament of Power. Wielder of the Berserker Soul, and the powerful Stand Divine Dragon Force, you're fully equipped to handle any threat that comes your way. But what will you do when the threats aren't always physical, when you can't simply punch all your problems away?

    Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:

    After battling the entity from beyond, defeating it with the power of Lifehunt, and sleeping frozen in an iceberg for a day, Karn learned of the aftermath of that entity's contact with reality, and gathered the tools and allies for the battle the next day. Learning of the Tuffle's long-scale plans and possible continued existence and its knowledge of Planet Cereal's Dragon Balls, as well as battling a rage-fueled entity seemingly possessed by a ring of crimson red, as we rejoin Karn your battle with Freeza, the former emperor has concluded after a titanic clash of power.

    “Alright, that's enough you two!” Meloka shouts as the smoke clears from your blast's detonation against his own, your wife ascending and flying out between you two with her arms outstretched. “No more here, you'll tear the planet apart!”
    “Well, you continue to impress me, Karn. You're far stronger than you were even days ago at that tournament.” Freeza says, and with a sigh powers back down out of his Black Freeza form. “I daresay, I do believe you are ready to face this Granolah character.”
    “Thanks. You've not been slouching either.” you reply, powering down to your base form as well. “You've really gotten a handle on that form now.”

    “Yes, I have become far more adept at regulating the form's output, instead of simply burning through my stamina at that accelerated rate from before.” Freeza answers you with that small smile of his. “Come the battle tomorrow, should you require my assistance, I shall be here guarding your home. But do not hesitate to call upon me, should the situation turn more... Dire. After all, Arctus has already warned me of his recent discovery. And, a thought you may not have considered.”

    >>6475901
    “Oh?” you ask, brow raised. But instead of telling you aloud, Freeza suddenly thinks it to you.
    “Have you considered that the Heeters have come under possession of the Tuffle already?” he asks, you freezing in place, eyes widening in shock as you consider it. “From the moment you leave your home tomorrow, consider yourself in enemy territory.”

    “I will.” you tell him aloud, and offer your hand. “And thank you, Freeza.”
    “Of course. Anytime.” he replies with a nod, taking your forearm in his grip as you grab his. Both of you nodding once before releasing one another. “Enjoy your rest before tomorrow's war, Karn. I shall go speak with King Vegeta, he and I have much to discuss.”

    And without another word he lifts up into the air, taking off towards Vegeta City to speak with the king. Leaving you with one question:

    What now?
    >Spend the evening relaxing and resting, make sure you're ready for the coming battle
    >Call it a day here and head off to bed early, make sure you're well rested before the new year
    >Take one final training session in the Gravity Chamber before tomorrow, you can do one more bit of training before the battle
    >Head to your room and take inventory of your weapons, see if any of them may be coming with you tomorrow
    >Return to Towa's Lab and ask her to show you more of the footage of Granolah's fights with other Saiyans, see what you can learn about how he fights

    Also, about the Tuffle fuckery, do any of you guys think Lifehunt will be able to kill the bugs? I know that a painful* amount of electricity was able to cook the parasites to death and render them inert, but I want to make sure we're keeping all of this in mind since I'm pretty sure the mind control bugs are an airborne virus

    There was a question about this in previous thread. GD's answer makes me think, that it is likely that Baby's nanobots will not be able to resist Lifehunt's destructive power.

    For a moment you consider what to do now, and then an idea comes. You turn, heading inside back into your ship. Going to your room, taking each of your weapons and laying each of them across your bed. Looking at all of them, going through them one by one. First, you lift your Gravity Hammer, looking the weapon over. For a moment you consider it, then shake your head.

    “No, this one'll be too slow.” you say, dropping it back on the bed. And as you do, the door opens behind you and a voice calls out.
    “Dad? What are you doing?” Kayle, your younger twin daughter asks as she walks in. Looking at what you're doing curiously.
    “Hey kiddo. Just deciding if I should take any of these along tomorrow.” you tell her, picking up the sheathed Wolf Knight sword. Holding it up in both hands, unsheathing the blade slowly. “Or if it would be better to just fight with my hands.”

    “Oh, okay.” she answers, looking over your gathered weapons. “You got a lotta swords.”
    “I do, don't I?” you reply, looking them over. And, indeed, all your weapons aside from the Gravity Hammer you got from the previous Jiralhanae Chieftan are all swords. That and of course the dragon bone knife Chilli had made for you too. But you then sheathe the Wolf Knight sword again, laying it back on the bed. “He's not an Abyssal creature, so not that one.”
    “What about this one?” she asks, lifting the large, golden blade in both hands. “What does it do?”

    “You want to see? Focus your ki through it kiddo.” you tell her, Kayle looking up at the weapon. Brows furrowing, she focuses, and as you watch the weapon's flames wreathe the blade. Kayle's eyes widen in shock, jaw dropping as she watches the fires engulf it.
    “Woah. That's awesome.” she says, eyes sparkling as she looks up at the weapon. Then, she turns to you, a thoughtful look on her face. “Hey. Do you think, umm...?”
    “Kayle? What is it?” you ask her, your own brows furrowing slightly. “Everything okay?”

    “Yeah. Just... Having a thought.” she says, turning her focus from you back to the flaming blade. “ I wonder if this fire can melt your ice?”
    “I... Huh. I hadn't thought of that.” you answer her, looking at the blade questioningly. “I think that's something I'll have to experiment with.”
    “Are we gonna do that now?” Kayle asks, eyes wide, eager.

    Well? How do you respond?
    >Sure, you can test it tonight, to see if it's worth taking along on this mission. If it can mitigate the effects of your Lifehunt on your body, it could be a game changer

    “Sure thing, kiddo. We can test it tonight.” you say, reaching down and ruffling her hair. “We'll do it now, see if it's worth taking along on this mission. Good thinking.”

    She beams up at you, grinning from ear-to-ear. Ending her channeling of ki through the blade, the flames disappearing, she carries the heavy greatsword as you both head back outside. And once you both are standing on the beach, you address her with your plan.

    “Okay. We'll have a couple different ways to test it. First, you'll hold it and I'll power up, see if it works on my ice when you use it, when you're holding it. Then, I may test it in my hands too. You ready?”
    “Ready!” she replies, and you close your eyes. Focusing, ascending in a flash to your Berserker God form once more. Then, digging deeper, you delve into the icy depths of the Berserker Soul's core, unleashing your instinct once more. And opening your eyes, now towering over your daughter even more, you give her a nod. Kayle nods back, focusing, and the blade once more ignites.

    And your body leaps back away from Kayle, from the weapon in her hands. Your body sails back half a dozen yards away from your daughter and the sword before you've even realized you're moving.

    “Wh-What?!” you exclaim, unable to understand why your body reacted like this. Then, remembering back to your battle with the sword's wielder you'd faced alongside Caulifla, remember how your instincts warned you of the weapon back then too.
    “Dad?” Kayle asks, immediately concerned and losing focus, the flames fading. “Are you okay?”
    “Yeah, I'm fine kiddo. Just seems that that fire's dangerous enough for this form to see it as a danger.” you tell her, and start walking back. “Keep focusing on it, and hold the sword steady for me.”

    “Right!” she exclaims, closing her eyes and focusing on the blade. Channeling her power through it, the sword igniting once more. And despite your body wanting to flee, you force yourself to walk up to her. Getting within arm's reach of the flaming blade, your body already covered in a thin layer of frost as you reach out to grab the blade. However, the frosty chill of Lifehunt is melted away by the flames around your hand, the heat from the Darkened flames burning through the frost swiftly. Enough so that you can feel the heat in your hand, and you pull back. Looking down at your hand, a little red from the heat, and entirely free of the ice. “Did it work?”

    “Yeah, it works kiddo.” you reply, showing her your ice-free hand. Her eyes widen, staring at your hand while your entire body's focus is still on the weapon. Wondering what in the world could make flames strong enough to dispel even Lifehunt. And what's worse, why does it make your body react like that?
    “So, your turn?” she asks, ending her channeling of the flames, holding the weapon up towards you to take. “You gonna use it?”

    Well? How do you answer?
    >Yes, your turn. Take the blade and channel your power through it. See if wielding Lifehunt and trying to use the weapon simultaneously are incompatible, or if it will only work to dispel the ice if someone else is wielding it
    >Tell her you're not going to risk it, you have a way to dispel the ice of Lifehunt and you won't risk damaging it to experiment. Instead take the weapon to Meloka and entrust it to her, as a way to prevent you from freezing going forward

    “Yeah, my turn.” you tell her, nodding to your daughter before kneeling and taking the weapon from your daughter's hands gently. Holding it in both hands, the weapon not-so-subtly shifting to your size as you stand. Holding the weapon vertically, holding it up you look at it. Your frost covering your hand again as the blade catches the light, and your frost slowly crawls up from your hands over the handle. You watch, the ice quickly covering the entire length of the massive blade. “Well. Here it goes.”

    With a thought you then focus, channeling your energy into the blade. And as you watch, the ice covering the weapon begins to crack and melt away. The blade glowing beneath the ice, which quickly melts as the sword's darkened flames burst into being. The blade burns bright, and even the ice on your hands swiftly melts away as you hold the burning weapon. Yet, as you hold it, every instinct in your body is focused on the weapon itself. Something that, were you to wield it in battle, would undoubtedly conflict with your instincts. However, as you carefully move the blade around you, bringing the heat towards different parts of yourself, Lifehunt's ice quickly melts off of you.

    “It works! You can use it too!” Kayle shouts excitedly, to which you smile and nod. Ending your transformation, reverting back down to your base form with a sigh, you release the blade with one hand and ruffle Kayle's hair again for a moment. Then, holding the weapon and continuing to channel its power, you use it to clear the frost off the rest of you, warming your body back up before ending your channeling through the weapon. “Are you going to take it too now?”
    “Maybe.” you tell her, unsure if you're going to use it or simply ask Meloka to carry it for you just in case. However, it is certainly a weapon that could make a difference.”After all, I got one other swords that I might prefer to actually use, if it comes to it.”

    “You mean that moon sword?” she asks, you nodding as the two of you head back inside. And once back in your bedroom you set the golden blade down, picking up your sword made of New Salda's moon instead. Not channeling your energy through it, yet with just the simple act of holding it, you feel it bolstering your strength.
    “I may use this. He's probably not ready for a swordfight. And this weapon lets me take New Salda's might with me to the battlefield. It is certainly worth considering.”

    “So, that's what you're up to.” a familiar voice calls from the doorway, and turning around you see none other than Raditz, the son of Bardock standing there. Leaning against the door frame, arms crossed as he glares at you. “General.”
    “Raditz.” you reply with a nod, studying his expression. He's clearly furious about something, but also keeping a lid on it for now. You're not sure why he's furious, but you've never seen him that angry at yourself before.

    “Kayle, kiddo, mind taking that sword to your mother?” you ask, taking the golden sword in hand and turning to your daughter. “Tell her what you and I found out for me, would you?”
    “Okay!” she replies, taking the weapon and heading out. Not looking back as she walks out, unaware of the tension in the room she's leaving behind. Raditz steps aside, letting her out. The door shuts behind her, leaving you and him standing, facing one another in silence. He uncrosses his arms, takes two steps towards you, and swings. You don't raise your guard, instead simply bracing yourself and taking his heavy right haymaker to the jaw. The blow staggers you a step back, head turned to the side as you roll with it. And as you turn back towards him, his chest heaving eyes smoldering with fire.

    “You son of a bitch. You KNEW!” he snarls, swinging again. This time with a left, which you take to the jaw as well without retaliating. But this time you brace yourself to take it, instead of rolling with it. His fist slams into your jaw and you don't move, watching him instead. “That motherfucker's back, and you KNEW! And didn't think to fucking WARN ME!?”

    He swings again, but this time you catch his fist. Holding his trembling arm still as he tries to push against you, the young man's entire body trembling with barely-restrained fury.

    “Raditz. First, we don't know if that monster's truly back or not. And if he's not, I didn't want to make you panic.” you say calmly, slowly pushing and lowering his arm down. “Second, if he was back, and I could confirm it, I would have told you. Immediately. I just didn't want to worry you over a false alarm if he's not.”

    He's silent at this, you releasing his fist as he lowers his arms, looking down contemplatively. Thinking it over for a few seconds before looking up to you.

    “I'm going.” he says, resolutely. “If that monster's still alive, if there's even a CHANCE of it being back, I'm going to kill it myself. I will NOT let that bastard come after my family again!”
    “No.” you reply, and before he can interrupt you hold up a hand. “Three reasons. One, if he IS alive, you and your family aren't going anywhere NEAR it. Two, if he IS there, the less people we bring to get infected by that bastard and turned on one another, the better. And three: someone's playing us.”
    “What?” he asks, eyes widening in sudden alarm. “What do you mean?”

    And so you lay it out, quickly summarizing everything that's happened over the course of the last week. And how almost everything's led to this battle tomorrow on Planet Cereal.

    “Someone's setting this up, Planet Cereal's undoubtedly a trap. My wife and I know it's a trap. But we're walking into it anyways, to spring the trap. Because we have to try and stop whoever's behind it. And I have zero belief that our battle with Granolah will be uninterrupted, or that Towa won't come under attack from our unseen enemy.” you tell him, Raditz clearly now just as suspicious as you were of everything that's happened as you are. “And instead of being locked in the trap with us, you'll be here. On New Salda, waiting and ready to deal with whoever or whatever's coming for our people when they have my wife and I pulled away off-world.”

    “You really think...?” he asks, voice trailing off as he considers it. Brows furrowing as he realizes that's most likely the situation, growing grim. “No, that makes sense. The real question's whether the trap is for you in the battle. Or to keep you from going after whoever their real target is?”
    “That's the question. So, I need you here, Raditz. Protect your family, and our people. Leave the possible Tuffle and the Cerelean to me.” you say, reaching over and placing your hand on his shoulder. To which he sighs out after a moment.
    “Okay. I'll trust you, General. But, Karn, the moment you confirm that Tuffle's there, let me know, Karn.” he says seriously. “If it's alive, I... I have to make sure my son's okay. That that monster doesn't still control him. And if he does...”

    “Then I'll kill the Tuffle again, before it can hurt your son.” you tell him, Raditz nodding in response. The two of you stand in silence a moment before he turns and leaves, no doubt going back to his wife and son. Leaving you in your room alone, with one question:

    What now?
    >Clear the weapons off your bed, put them back and call it a day. Get a good night's sleep to finish preparing for the battle tomorrow
    >Head over to Towa's Lab, ask if she can pull up footage of Granolah fighting that Time Patroller Kakarot, Goku and study how he fights

    For a moment, you consider what you told Raditz, then decide it's time to rest. Yawning, you use your telekinesis to lift the remaining weapons off the bed, returning them to their usual resting place. Then you begin stripping down, and as you do, you set your Soulstone on the shelf, next to the bone dagger from your boot, and then the Senzu Bean you got from Conton City as well. You look the bean over, as it was with you when you were frozen. But it still seems fine, not gone soft or squishy. So you set it beside your Soulstone, so you can't miss or forget to take it with you in the morning. Stretching and yawning, you then reach out with telekinesis, turning off the light and laying down to bed. Closing your eyes, slowing your breathing and drifting off to sleep.

    Hours pass with you deeply asleep and unaware, and not drifting into that infinite void where you'd occasionally speak with Mechikabura or Towa over the years. Instead your sleep is deep and peaceful, undisturbed for hours on end. Sleeping long and deep, until you feel your body waking naturally on its own. Eyes slowly drifting open, yawning softly as you wake up. Blinking sleepily, you take in your surroundings. Meloka and Towa are both in bed with you, Towa laying on your left and Meloka's curled up on your right. Smiling softly, feeling your arms looped around them, you feel completely rested and at ease. But then, as you lay there, you feel a pair of eyes on you. Focusing on the sensation, you glance to the corner of the room near the door. And there, standing and watching silently, you see none other than Haathe. So, you reach out to her telepathically.

    “Haathe. Is everything okay?” you think to her, raising a brow curiously.
    “Yes, my lord. There art no problems requiring thine attention.” she replies with a thought, still unmoving. Silence hangs for several seconds between you and her, before you ask another question.
    “How long have you been watching me sleep?” you ask her, curious.
    “Ever since thine wife and concubine fell to sleep.” she answers, leaving you with more questions than answers.

    But what now? You're awake, today's the day, but what do you do?
    >Stay there in bed until either Towa or Meloka wake up
    >Try and sneak out of bed, head to the gravity chamber to wake yourself up and get ready for battle
    >Tap into your Champion form and its awareness, expand your ki sense and check on your planet. Make sure it and your people are okay, that nothing's happening
    >Telepathically reach out to Arctus, see what he's discovered and if he's discovered any weaknesses in that Tuffle

    “I see. Well, I'll leave you to it then. Don't let me disturb you.” you reply to her still telepathically as you close your eyes. But before you can pull back from the telepathic link, she continues.
    “My lord. I...” she starts, her thoughts trailing off a moment. “I had'st wished to converse with thee.”
    “Of course, Haathe. What's on your mind?” you reply with a thought. “Everything okay?”

    “Yes, my lord. I wish to speak not of an issue, nay. Rather, the matter I needst discuss with thee be a more personal matter.” she replies, and as you open your eyes see her holding her left arm with her right behind her back, not looking at you but looking down at her feet.
    “I understand. Tell me, Haathe: what has been weighing on you?” you think to her, brows furrowing slightly. “You can tell me anything.”

    “My lord, I have been... Worried, as of late.” she answers slowly, thinking through her thoughts slowly. “Thine newest might, the chill thou now wield... I can feel it. Creeping 'pon thee, feasting upon thine heat. Robbing thee of thine strength, piece by piece. I fear that, if thee continues to rely 'pon that cursed cold, thy soul shall slowly freeze and cease to be. If thou perishes, thy Berserker Soul freezes and vanishes, then so too I shall fade and cease.”

    “I understand, Haathe. Believe me, I can feel it. Every time I use that power, I can feel it stealing my life. But I wasn't aware you could feel it as well, and I am sorry you had to feel that too.” you think to her. “I shall be more considerate using it going forward, knowing you can feel the same chill I feel in your very soul.”
    “I appreciate thine consideration, my lord.” she replies, bowing her head. But then you feel your wife stirring, rolling over and kissing you sleepily.
    “Mhhrrmrrr.” she murmurs sleepily, slowly opening her eyes as she looks down at you. “Mmmm.”

    “Mornin' hun.” you say softly, Towa stirring and rolling over as well. Haathe, bowing once more slips out from the room, creating a portal of the Berserker Soul's vibrant orange and slipping out of the room unheard by the other two. You blink in shock as you see this, having not expected her to be able to use the same portal magic as Raven. The sight completely catching you by surprise. Your shock, however, is noted, your wife's brows furrowing.

    “Everything okay?” she asks, to which you turn from where Haathe was to your wife, smiling.
    “Yeah. Everything's okay.” you reply, and your wife pounces. The two women waking themselves up with you, both wanting your attention. And you give it to them, letting all thoughts of what's to come fade away as you focus on the two devoted women and enjoying the last time you'll all have together before the battle of Planet Cereal begins.

    And that's it for tonight and this weekend, everyone enjoy the ride so far? Curious how the sword's flame was able to affect the Lifehunt and why your body reacted to it so intensely? Ready to arm yourself for the battle to come, and to finally face the Cerelean Granolah? All this and more, next time when Saiyan Conqueror Quest continues!

    Unfortunately, that won't be this weekend, as Sunday unfortunately I will be unable to continue. Between my youngest niece's birthday and the irl tabletop session going on, I'd only have around two hours to write. So, instead we'll just wait for next weekend, to go all-in on last minute prep for the battle.

    >Her eyes widen, staring at your hand while your entire body's focus is still on the weapon.
    “Karncicle” required a whole day in the lava to melt. Fire of this blade must be special if it is so effective on this type of ice.
    >Wondering what in the world could make flames strong enough to dispel even Lifehunt.
    Ver curious.
    >And what's worse, why does it make your body react like that?
    Maybe those fires from this blade are like a Kryptonite for the power of Lifehunt. That was probably not a good comparison, but those flames simply are a strong counter to Karn’s new power that is all about making others not exist. I wonder why is that?
    >>6476031

    >“You son of a bitch. You KNEW!”
    The news spreads super fast. I wonder, are we talking about dozens of people who know? Or is it a question of what percentage of New Salda’s population already heard about it. [Spoiler]Karn did not watch the television today. Maybe VoxTV already talked about it.[/spoiler]

    Maybe Karn found in this flame an opposite element to the Lifehunt? Something that is its antithesis? Light and dark?

    I can’t wait.

    I was wondering about how different things would be if Karn made another choice long time ago. I talk about the time when he decided about which aspect of his potential power to focus on.

    Currently Karn’s main transformation path is:
    >Base Karn
    >Berserker
    >Ascended Berserker
    >Berserker God
    >Supreme Instinct
    >Supreme Instinct + Lifhunt
    This is all very awesome. I find it fascinating.

    However there is also other path that Broly from our timeline has selected. Where he focused on Primal Saiyan and he gained this form that looks like Berserker combined with Super Saiyan 4. And also when Baby was controlling him, he forcefully unlocked in him an emerald version of a combination of Berserker and Super Saiyan 4. It was so strong that even Tuffle Parasite could not control it. Broly’s choice is also an interesting path.

    I wonder, if Karn made the same decision as Broly did, he would probably never experience what it is like to reach Supreme Instinct and then afterwards Lifehunt. Things could be very different from what we see today. How would that Karn defeat the being from beyond reality without Lifehunt? How would that Karn fare in Tournament of power?

    If talking about those possibilities, of potential future paths that were not chosen, is too much of a spoiler, no problem, I understand. Though I find this topic interesting and I wonder about it.

    >>6476369
    Yes, indeed. It is a very special weapon, made with an abnormal fire. Spoiler ahead, but it's easily researchable off the sword: The sword summons the Profane Flame. According to the sword's own description: "Long ago, when Sulyvahn was yet a young sorcerer, he discovered the Profaned Capital and an unfading flame below a distant tundra of Irithyll, and a burning ambition took root within him." Other descriptions of the flame's effect from other weapons read: "The Profaned Flame, which never goes out, imbues this weapon with a fire attack." But it's more than simply everlasting fire, as the Pontiff's description above and another read: "The witches who lead the Pontiff's Knights were originally ordained as holy knights. It was not long however, before their hearts were swallowed by the Profaned Flame." The flame is SENTIENT, and consumes lesser beings' minds with fiery ambition. I love being a lore diver.
    Raditz was told. Arctus decided to warn him, considering Raditz' past. And didn't consult you.
    >Something big is right around the corner

    Thank God we're nigh immune to mind control I guess. The sword itself also seems to scale well with quality builds, which I'm pretty sure Karn qualifies as with Ultra Instinct active. The Profaned Flame is also good burning out parasites from living creatures, though I'm not sure how useful that's gonna be for us.

    I dared to read the spoiler. Honestly it sounds pretty scary. A blade with sentient fire that twists the mind of its wielder. Definitely scary. It reminded me of a story of a certain individual. He was well meaning and one day he found a really remarkable sword. Blade of the Laer that was a vessel to a Greater Daemon of Slaanesh. He was unaware of the danger that was hidden in this weapon. It began whisper into his mind and corrupt him. It succeeded. Fulgrim betrayed his allies and joined forces of Chaos.
    >I love being a lore diver.
    That is a very good trait.
    >Raditz was told. Arctus decided to warn him, considering Raditz' past. And didn't consult you.
    That’s alright then. I was thinking that whole New Salda talks about it already and Raditz heard it from a random Saiyan on a street.
    >Haathe has been learning from Raven. And her soul and yours are inextricably linked, as you gave her part of your own soul.
    Fascinating link. If Karn would die, would she die too?
    >if Karn focused on the Primal route, his power would certainly be higher. But his control would still be iffy at BEST
    Interesting. I guess whenever that Karn transforms his allies also need to be on alert and cautious.
    >RIP. AND. TEAR. Unlimited violence does just work more often than not.
    I see. Sometimes simple solutions are also the best solutions.
    >and why several of the patron stories have been what ifs of exploring those different paths. UE Meloka, Broly v Broly v Broly, or even not patreon stories like the battle of the Karns.
    Fascinating.
    >>6476960
    >spoiler
    Karn’s immunity to mind control is a big reassuring factor. He will not succumb to sentient fire’s influence like others did. Though I wonder, if it could affect someone like Meloka? She will be carrying this sword for now. Then again she probably won’t be using it for an extended period of time, so maybe nothing bad will happen.
    >>6477196
    >The good news is, with the power of dub vs sub we can have him be a devil or a freak! Huzzah!
    Indeed. I rejoice because of this. With combined power of dub and sub he can fuse into a “Devil freak” or “Freak devil” or maybe even into a “True freak devil” or “True devil freak”.
    >Especially if we take the legendary super saiyan myth to specifically refer to Broly in canon, which makes him a once in a millennium talent at least. Either way, shit's wild. Now if only Broly would "train for a month TM" he'd be unstoppable.
    I agree that he has a great potential.
    >>6477267
    >But what about suggestion? Or craving?
    If it tries to influence the wielder, hopefully it will not drive Karn or Meloka crazy.

    Yes, Arctus decided that it'd be best to know. Also, he was checking to see if Raditz and his family were already BACK under the Tuffle's control, because if they were and he couldn't reach them he'd have warned you.
    Not if Karn died. But if the Berserker Soul perished? If that flame was snuffed out entirely, yes.

    Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:

    After learning of the potential of one of his weapons to dispel Lifehunt's cold and entrusting the weapon to Meloka, Karn handled Radtiz's confrontation about not warning him of the potential return of the Tuffle monster. Then, after a good night's rest, Karn awoke to Haathe wishing to speak. And learned that there is another risk to using Lifehunt. That Haathe too can feel herself freezing when you use it, as she was given part of the Berserker Soul to live. Reassuring her before she leaves through an emerald portal similar to Raven's own magic, Karn then spent the morning in bed with Towa and Meloka. And as we rejoin Karn, you're in bed on your back, an arm around each woman.

    “Going to be difficult to gather those Dragon Balls for you, if I can't walk properly.” Towa teases, eyes closed as her head lays on your shoulder. She then takes a breath, sighing out. “Worth it.”

    To which Meloka giggles, kissing your neck and then jaw. Only for the door to your room to suddenly open, Orlen standing there. And he looks completely unsurprised by what he sees, keeping his tone professional.

    “General Karn. Incoming transmission for you. It's from the Heeters, sir.” he says, and the mood in the room changes instantly. It's time.
    “Thank you Orlen, I'll be there in a minute.” you tell him, Orlen saluting before turning and heading back to the bridge, leaving you, Meloka, and Towa alone in your bedroom. You stand up and stretch, both women getting up as well. And as you and your wife dress, Towa summons her clothes back onto herself with a flick of her hand, the form-fitting fabric slithering up her body and settling into place.
    “Tch. Wish I could learn magic just for that.” Meloka says as she pulls her gi pants on, tying them then tying her top on with her belt as well. You dress too, not bothering with your armor. But donning your skintight suit, putting on your boots and arm guards, you then start adding your weapons.

    Looking over your gathered weapons, you know only one is truly called for on this mission. So, with a thought you reach out with your telekinesis, pulling the faintly-glowing weapon to your hand. The moment you touch it, you can feel your connection to New Salda strengthen, the weapon a link to your world even when you're not on-planet. Resting the blade against your shoulder, you turn your attention to the other two women. Towa is dressed, holding her god-slaying spear in one hand, the Dragon Radar you got from Bulma in her other. And your wife is dressed as well, the golden blade resting across her shoulders, arms looped over the handle and blade.

    “Are we ready?” you ask them, your wife nodding. Towa, however, furrows her brows as a thought comes to mind.
    “You two go on ahead. I shall arrive to Planet Cereal under my own means. Best to not let them know we're coming, yes?” she says, to which you nod.
    “Good thinking. If they're aware you're coming after the Dragon Balls, they'll be more on-guard for you.” you say, nodding to her. Then turn to your wife, the two of you sharing a wordless understanding with a nod. This is it, what you've been working towards for this last, almost impossibly-long week. The battle for Planet Cereal is about to begin. “Let's do this.”

    The three of you leave your room together, Towa heading to her lab, no doubt to ready her own arrival to Planet Cereal as you and Meloka head to the bridge. Where the Heeters are undoubtedly waiting over video, ready to have you come to them. You and Meloka arrive to the bridge, walking into the holoscreen viewing area. Seeing Elec seated in a chair, as he addresses you.

    “Good day to you, General Karn. I take it you're ready to go hunting?” he asks, grinning smugly. Trying and failing to hide his conniving smirk, clearly up to something.
    “Yeah. Are you within range of Planet Cereal?” you ask, to which he nods.
    “Yes. However, there's been a slight change of plans.” Elec says, to which your IMMEDIATELY suspicious. “We witnessed yesterday him sniping a meteor approaching Planet Cereal from further out than we'd planned to be when allowing you to Instant Transmission to his planet. So, instead we'll be landing, touching down on the planet first. I'd rather not have my ship obliterated, and me and my people die in the vacuum of space.”

    “Well, that's fair enough.” Meloka replies, and you can hear in her tone your wife's own suspicions as well. But neither of you voice your worry, as one way or another you both are going. “Have your scouters seen any unusual activity on the planet?”


    cont
    >>
    >>6478229
    “Good question. Maki?” Elec asks, turning his head to his left. And, from off-screen you can hear a woman's voice answer.
    “Not picking up anything unusual over here. The city center, the old hermit out in isolation, and Granolah are all I can see.” she answers, Elec nodding to her and turning back to you both. However, before he can speak, another voice calls out. This one deeper.

    “Thirty seconds to landing, boss.” another one calls, Elec nodding again.
    “Are you ready, General?” Elec asks you. However, before you can answer, suddenly you feel it. A MASSIVE power has just appeared nearby, an absolutely titanic strength has just materialized on New Salda. And, even worse, you recognize it.
    “Shit!” you exclaim, recognizing that darker, malicious ki. “Dammit, not now.”

    “General?” Elec asks, confused.
    “Karn? Is that-?” Meloka asks, to which you turn to her.
    “It's Cumber.” you say, a feeling of dread washing over you. Why here? Why now? “Dammit! Hold on Elec, we've got a problem!”

    And without waiting to answer his questions you shift the sword to your left hand, right raised to your forehead. Your wife grabs your wrist, and with a thought you teleport. Appearing in the air over your city, where the Evil Saiyan's powering up with a roar. Only to stop as he senses you, turning to face you. And you see the recognition in his eyes as he grins from behind his muzzle.

    “You. I remember you. You fight!” he exclaims, only for another being to appear. This time between you and Cumber, causing you to start.
    “Freeza?” you ask, blinking in surprise. “What are you-?”
    “I do believe you have an appointment elsewhere, old friend.” Freeza says, turning his gaze from Cumber to you with a grin. “I promised I shall handle the problems that arise here, and I intend to keep my word.”
    >>
    >>6478231
    Freeza then turns his focus from you back to Cumber, who is looking at Freeza curiously.

    “Tiny man fight?” Cumber asks, to which Freeza does his dramatic bow.
    “Yes, that is correct. I, Lord Freeza, shall be your opponent today. Not my good friend, as he has a prior engagement to attend.” he says, rising from his bow. Then, clenching his fists, ascends into his Golden form. “You've had a taste of defeat at the hands of my General. Now prepare for the full course, served up by yours truly! SHYAAAAAA!”

    And with a war cry Freeza charges the massive Saiyan, landing a heavy flying right straight to the jaw before Cumber can put his guard up. Sending him flying back.

    But what do you do?
    >Trust in Freeza to handle this, he can handle Cumber. Tell him you're rooting for him before heading back to the bridge to ready yourself to teleport to Planet Cereal

    “I know you've got this, I trust you. I'm rooting for you.” you tell Freeza, who stops a moment at your words. Closing his eyes and taking a sharp breath in, and when his eyes open you see a newfound determination in his gaze.
    “Leave this one to me. I shall ensure he learns the error of his ways.” Freeza replies, then blasting off after the still-flying Saiyan. You then turn to Meloka, who's already got her fingers pressed to her forehead. You touch her shoulder, your wife teleporting you both back to Orlen's side inside the bridge of your ship as Elec is mid-question.

    “-ing on? What has the General-? Oh, General Karn. Is everything okay on your end?” he asks, the shouting he was giving Orlen immediately calmed at your appearance.
    “Nothing to worry about. Lord Freeza is handling it.” you reply, seeing the sudden flash of shock, a flicker of worry and something else behind the Heeter's eyes before he schools his expression back to neutral.
    “I see. Well then, are the two of you ready to come down?” he asks, and you and Meloka share a look. Holding it just a second, waiting for anything else to go wrong. But, when nothing else happens except you sensing Cumber's power skyrocket as he transforms, reaching the same heights as Golden Freeza you shake your head before turning back to Elec. Reaching out to him telepathically, to get a better lock onto his ki.

    “Ready.” you reply with a thought, raising your right hand to your forehead. And, focusing on his energy signature through the telepathic link, you use your Instant Transmission technique. Leaving New Salda behind, and appearing on Elec's ship. Standing before the Heeter, your wife on your left with the heavy golden blade in her hands. And you only now noticing it looks smaller than usual, before remembering it's one of those enchanted weapons that resizes itself based on the size of the user.

    “You come for a fight, or to play with toy swords?” one of the Heeters, the small one you fought before says derisively.
    “Oooooh, shiny. Boss, I want one!” the large, rotund one says; pointing at Moonlight resting against your shoulder. “Can I get a glowing sword too?”
    “Oil, you don't know how to wield a sword.” Elec replies, not taking his eyes off the two of you. “You're taking this rather seriously, General Karn.”

    “You did warn me that Granolah's here to kill me and my people.” you reply to him dryly, cracking your neck. “So, where is he?”

    >>6478270
    “Maki?” Elec replies, turning to the woman. Who turns back to her display, fingers working the keys a moment. “Well?”
    “He's... On the move. Headed this way!” she exclaims, turning and looking surprised. “He must have sensed you both appear, he's coming right for us!”

    “Go, now. And good hunting.” Elec says to you and your wife, you and Meloka nodding. “Gas, show them out.”
    “No need.” you reply, closing your eyes and focusing. And sure enough, you sense that massive powerlevel approaching. However, you sense it isn't alone. That there's a second, even stronger powerlevel further out. And both are identical, except for their strengths. The one rapidly approaching your location is less than half the power of the distant one. Leaving only one question:

    What do you do?
    >Teleport to the one approaching you both, fight the weaker of the two first
    >Teleport to the far one with Meloka, face the stronger one together
    >Have Meloka handle the weaker one, while you teleport to the stronger one. Fight both strong beings simultaneously
    >Ask Elec's ally who else is here, how you sense two different Granolah on this planet
    >Other(write in)?
    >>
    >>6478271
    >Have Meloka handle the weaker one, while you teleport to the stronger one. Fight both strong beings simultaneously
    I was initially going to opt for double-teaming the stronger of the two while the weaker one has to waste time traveling back towards us. However, they're both accurate enough to snipe meteors, meaning they could just as easily take shots at us from across the planet if they get high enough. To that end, I think it might be better to tie the two of them up simultaneously and chunk away at the stronger one while Meloka kills the weaker one.
    Though the real question now is which one of them is more likely to be Baby's host.

    “There's two of them.” you say aloud, eyes sweeping the group. Clearly looking for signs of deception, but all four seem shocked. Elec's usual composure cracks as his eyes widen, and even the diminutive Gas's eyes shoot open widen in surprise.
    “Two?! But Granolah is the only one left, how's there two?” Oil asks dumbly, brows furrowed in confusion. “He's the strongest guy on the planet.”

    “Meloka, take the weaker one heading this way. I'll go to the strong one.” you tell her, ascending into your Berserker God form in a flash. Your wife nods, tossing the sword up, then throws her gi top off and ascends to her Primal Deity form. Catching the blade back as it drops with her left hand casually, right hand going to her forehead. You raise your right to your forehead as well, focusing on the further power. And, with a thought, teleport. You leave the Heeters' ship behind, instead reappearing in a rocky area clear of life, aside from the one you sense. Looking over, there's a fair skinned man sitting cross-legged in the clearing. Wearing a dark olive green shirt and baggy pants under a green sleeveless vest, a long, grey scarf and dark leather belt, gloves, and boots. The man's right eye is covered by a buckled leather eyepatch, and as you appear he looks up, opening his eyes.

    “Monkey. So, you've come.” he says, slowly rising up to his feet. “I will enjoy watching you die.”
    “So, you're Granolah? Then where's the Tuffle?” you ask him, the man blinking once in confusion.
    “The what?” he asks, voice flat, the eye you can see narrowing. “What nonsense are you talking about, beast?”
    “I know the Tuffle parasite came here. Used the Dragon Balls to make itself immortal.” you reply, watching his expression. But from the confusion on his face, he's seemingly unaware of it. “Where is it?”

    “Enough of your games. I care not for any Tuffle. Only your head on a spike.” he replies, taking a fighting stance almost like he's about to shoot a bow and arrow at you. Right hand back by his face, two fingers pointed at you while his left is out and open, perhaps ready to intercept any incoming strikes. You put down the sword, letting it strike the ground point-first and burying itself slightly in the ground. Cracking your neck and fists, only to suddenly be hit with a flash of Foresight. Watching as before you can take your stance he fires a beam from his right hand, which would take you in the right eye.

    >>6478308
    And as the vision ends, you immediately leap into the air. Jumping off the ground the instant he fires. You can see the shock on his face that his surprise attack missed clear as day as the beam flashes beneath you, landing against a massive boulder behind where you'd appeared. Punching right through it, and the beam keeps going. Disappearing off into the distance, only for him to end the attack and blur up at you. Leading with a right spear hand aimed at your guts, and with no time to get a block up you instead flip backwards. Kicking up with your right as you flip backwards, forcing him to back off as well. But he doesn't back off, instead checking your right with his left. Stopping your kick, only for him to jab his hand into the outside of your thigh just above your right knee. And immediately your entire right leg from that point of impact down goes completely numb.

    “What?!” you exclaim, shocked by the sudden loss of sensation in your leg. But Granolah isn't done, swinging with another right. But this time you don't let him swing in, grabbing his right wrist with your left hand. Barely stopping his strike from landing against your lower sternum, the same strike you saw him use in that recording in Towa's Lab against Goku. “Tch! No you don't.”

    But Granolah simply follows up with a left, forcing you to catch that wrist as well, stopping it close to your chest too. Only for his fingers to all begin glowing as he gathers his ki into them, readying a barrage of Finger Beams. Eyes wide as you realize he's trying to go for the kill, instead of trying to pull his arms away you go to break his concentration instead. Drawing your head back and slamming your forehead into his nose, which you feel crunch from the impact. He cries out in pain, the energy he gathered dissipating as his hands recoil towards his face. You release his wrists, letting him cover his face as you go on the attack. Drawing your right back and delivering a powerful punch to the guts, doubling him over. Following that up with the Djem So power combo, the right gut punch followed by a left uppercut to the exposed jaw, then a spinning right back kick to the chest. However, your kick lacks its usual power due to his strike from earlier, only knocking him back a couple paces before he stops himself. Granolah lowers his hands from his face, glaring at you with hatred in his eyes as he retakes his fighting stance.

    But what do you do? How do you fight him?

    “I'm ending this. Right now.” you tell him, and with a thought grab your sword with telekinesis as you charge towards him. The weapon soaring through the air as you charge in, weaving his beams from his first two joined fingertips the handle hitting your palms as you raise both hands overhead. And the instant the weapon touches your hands, you reach out, tapping into the connection with your world through the moon held in your hands. Feeling your power suddenly spike, increasing your speed and power instantly. Something Granolah can clearly sense, but can't react in time to as you close the gap. Swinging the blade down in the heavy Djem So overhead strike. Eyes wide, Granolah tries to activate a technique similar to your Barrier, but solid like your Energy Body. Just a protective bubble around himself, to shield himself from danger. But New Salda's Moonlight cleaves through the shield as if it weren't even there, your blade biting deep into his right shoulder.

    “GYAAAAAAAH!!?” he cries in surprise and pain as your sword swings true, cleaving through his collarbone and embedding itself in his shoulder. Barrier collapsing as he screams in pain, clearly not used to suffering a debilitating injury as his concentration collapses instantly. Which you take advantage of, planting your left boot on his chest and wrenching your blade free in a spray of Cerelean blood. Ripping your blade free, you use the momentum to spin clockwise, leveling your blade horizontally at his neck. Intending to end this with a single strike. However, even in blinding pain he sees your attack coming, leaning back. Narrowly avoiding a decapitating strike, but your blade cleaves through his eyepatch. Cutting through the lens, leaving a shallow cut across the bridge of his nose as you cleave the strap. His eyepatch falling away, revealing his crimson eye.

    “Tch.” you exhale, but don't let off the attack. Following up your horizontal, decapitating strike with a rising, uppercut-like slash meant to bisect him. But Granolah dashes back, narrowly avoiding your blade again. Grabbing his hanging right arm's wrist with his left hand, aiming his right hand's fingers at you and firing a barrage of small, fast energy blasts at you. “You won't get away that easily!”
    >>
    >>6478372
    Dashing after him, you use Moonlight to cut through and swat aside his blasts. Dashing back in, closing the gap and thrusting the blade at his chest. Releasing his right arm, he twists, trying to avoid the lethal thrust. And he does so, avoiding a fatal strike as your blade only lands a glancing cut against his left pectoral. Which brings you into his range, and he retaliates with his left. Thrusting his hand in a spear fist at your throat, your eyes widening as you realize he baited you in. Hissing through your teeth, you twist, his hand barely sliding against your throat instead of caving your windpipe in. His strike leaving a shallow cut against your neck. Not deep enough to be dangerous, but evidence of how close you came to being defeated.

    “Khhh!” you seethe through clenched teeth, narrowly avoiding his strike. Then you go right back on the offense, but his power just keeps rising as you attack. His aura blazing around him as he weaves through your aggressive slashes and thrusts. His left hand clamped over the injury on his right shoulder, until you swing a horizontal slash at his neck, which he ducks. And before you can recover he abandons his defense, lunging in with a lightning-fast strike. His spear hand landing right under your ribs, stopping you. And as his strike hits you, you feel your entire body just... Stop.

    “Gahk-!?” you cough, spitting up blood as your power plummets. All the wind is knocked out of your lungs as you're forced back down into your base from from the damage. Dropping out of the air as your entire body goes numb, crashing down to the earth. Laying there, gasping for air on your back as Granolah flies down. Landing close enough to stand there and look down on you arrogantly.
    “Game over, Saiyan. As you attacked me, I observed your blood flow and muscle movements.” he says, leveling his left hand down at you, energy gathering in his first two fingertips on his left hand. “Learning exactly where to strike to take you down.”

    “You can even see blood flow?” you ask, panting as you force yourself to start sitting up.
    “This right eye of mine is the sharpest in the universe. It sees ALL.” he replies, then stops. Letting the energy fade from his fingers as he glares at you. “I can see you're still concealing your power, aren't you? I don't know what you're up to, but you really don't have the luxury of holding back.”


    cont
    >>
    >>6478374
    “You can even see that, huh?” you reply, groaning as you force yourself upright, leaning on the sword a bit as you rise. “Yeah, I've not gone all out yet.”
    “Hurry up and get on with it, then. I have no duty to wait for your sake.” he answers, then reveals just how much he knows. “As long as that other Saiyan you arrived with is still alive, I can extract what I need from her when I'm done with you. Clever of you to split up, to fight me and my clone simultaneously. But it will do you no good. Because I'm not going all-out yet either.”

    “What?” you exclaim, surprised by his boast as he clenches his fists. And with a roar blazes his own aura, his strength surging dozens of times over as he stops holding back. But knowing he's been holding back this much, and you both nearly killed one another already before even going full-power, means there's only one thing left to do.

    But how far do you go?

    He's gonna need a Senzu Bean. You know, the one he had saved. If we have to pop it this early I'll never live it down, only Trunks (formerly The Boi) had to scarf one down so quickly when we were beating his ass like Vegeta was never around to in his timeline

    Perhaps it will be a choice for players whether to take the Senzu Bean now.
    Comparison of Karn’s current situation to how badly Trunks was losing. It reminded me about Divine Dragon Force. If I remember right it was said that it dreams about Karn's life during the time when it is dormant. The dream just turned into nightmare.

    “Alright, but you asked for it.” you reply, closing your eyes and taking a deep breath in. Exhaling slowly as you dig deep into your power, past the raging fury to the icy chill deep within. Tapping into that frigid rage, and as you open your eyes you can feel your own power surge as well. Your strength rising as you take on your strongest form. “This is Supreme Instinct.”
    “What? Your vitals-?” Granolah starts, but you don't hesitate. Your body moves before you even tell it to, the power of New Salda backing your instincts to destroy this threat to yourself, your people, and your world. Closing the distance in a blink, thrusting the glowing blade at his chest horizontally to slip between his ribs and cut through his heart. But he dodges to his left at the last second, and instead of being impaled straight through your sword cuts him through the right pectoral instead. Your blade biting deep, but glancing off his ribcage instead of piercing through. “Gaah!?”

    Immediately you follow up with a reverse cut, but he leaps straight back and away from you. Dodging the follow-up narrowly, bringing his hands up to once again fire. Unleashing a barrage of shots, but this time you don't even bother trying to swat them away. Letting your body weave and dodge through them on its own, slipping through the onslaught without a single one even grazing you.

    “What?! HOW!” he shouts, doubling the rate of fire as he stays on the retreat. But your body continues dodging and weaving through the attacks, rapidly gaining ground. Until you reach him, swinging down with a vertical strike. Only, it leaves your body open, and he capitalized on it. As you swing, you realize his energy is gathered in both hands. And before your body can dodge what you see coming he fires it, unleashing a MASSIVE blast at your exposed chest. Blasting you point-blank, right as you were swinging down to cleave him in two. The titanic shot takes you right in the chest, but you only feel it for a second. Gasping as your body freezes, eyes going wide as your strength quickly fades. Moonlight slipping from your fingers, landing point-first in the ground beside you as you stagger back a step, looking down. And seeing a massive hole the size of your fist through your chest, right through your heart, you stagger back another step before dropping to a knee. Trying to gasp for air, to take a breath, but none comes as Granolah, grabbing his own bleeding shoulder, winces in pain. “You were. Stronger than I thought. I'll have to go. Back to Monaito, to heal. Before finishing off that other Saiyan.”

    >>6478427
    “Dammit.” you think to yourself, reaching into your arm guard with trembling fingers. Taking out the Senzu Bean you'd kept since Conton City, popping it into your mouth and quickly chewing it as everything goes dark. But Granolah sees this, his eyes widening.
    “What? What did you just eat?” he asks, eyes going wide with shock as he can sense, and SEE the effects almost immediately. You can feel it too, taking a gasp of air after swallowing the bean as your body is restored. Your full strength returned, tapping right back into Supreme Instinct and calling Moonlight back to your hand, taking the Djem So stance. “HOW?!”

    “So, that's what it feels like to be on the other side of it.” you reply, almost to yourself as you smirk, tapping back into your Champion power as well. Returning to full strength, while he stands there injured from the previous battle with you. “Now I can see why Trunks always looked so smug afterwards.”
    “What did you just do?!” he demands, firing a flash of energy from his hand onto the wound, seemingly burning it shut so it quits bleeding as he winces, retaking his fighting stance. “You should be dead!”

    “Yeah. But, unluckily for you, I came prepared.” you reply, settling deeper into your stance with the blade held horizontally over your head, ready to crash down. However, instead of taking his own stance, he suddenly just VANISHES! Disappearing as if he never was, and you immediately expand your ki sense. Sensing Meloka nearby, and the Granolah she was fighting has vanished as well. Both energies recombining somewhere distant, where you can sense a much smaller power by itself.
    “Karn, look out! He just vanished!” your wife thinks to you, her first instinct was to warn you instead of hunting for him.

    “He ran to that other power, to heal himself! Don't let him recover!” you reply with a thought, raising your right hand and focusing on his power. A moment later you teleport, leaving the battlefield behind and appearing outside a Namekian home. Where an elderly Namekian is kneeling over Granolah, hands pressed to him as he heals his wounded body. “Out of the way, old man. He's mine.”
    “I won't allow another soul to die! Not on my watch!” the old man shouts, pouring healing magic into the Cerelean. Only for Meloka to raise a hand, leveling a finger to Death Beam him. But, as she does, you get another flash of Foresight. One that shows her killing him, then the Dragon Balls losing their glow. Leaving you unable to save those the being from beyond broke mentally. If she kills him, the Dragon Balls will quit working. So, right as the vision ends and before she fires your body moves. Dashing over and grabbing her wrist, aiming it down to miss the elderly Namekian by a foot.

    >>6478428
    “Karn?! What are you doing?” your wife asks, astonished and looking at you like you've gone crazy.
    “If he dies, the Dragon Balls quit working. We can't kill the Namekian.” you tell her, your wife's expression shifting through a couple different emotions. Then, with a thought she reaches out with Telekinesis instead, grabbing the Namekian and forcefully pulling him away from the downed Cerelean. Jerking him through the air, right into her grip.
    “Fine. I'll keep him from interfering.” your wife tells you as Granolah rises, looking around in confusion a moment before seeing your wife holding the elder. And his expression turns murderous, far more furious than you've seen yet.

    “MONAITO!!” he shouts, aura blazing up around him as he surges up to his feet.
    “They won't kill me. They need me for the Dragon Balls!” Monaito calls back, the elder Namekian clearly understanding the situation. But whatever else he was about to say is cut off, as your wife teleports him away elsewhere. Leaving you and Granolah alone, outside the Namekian's home.
    “Well well. Looks like we both got a second wind.” you reply, retaking your Djem So sword stance. “Are you ready to end this, Granolah.”

    “I'm going to kill you. Then her. And save Monaito.” he replies, his expression one of icy fury and resolve now as he retakes his stance. “No matter how many times I have to kill you for it to stick.”

    Well? What now? How do you proceed?

    “Bring it on.” you reply, dropping the blade. Letting Moonlight drop behind you, stabbing point-first back into the ground behind you as you blaze your aura up. Then, crossing your arms, you condense your ki around you. Hardening and condensing your aura into your Energy Body, taking your stance. And you can see his expression shift, eyes narrowing as he sees your aura shield you. He looks you over a moment, no doubt trying to see your weak point. Then he blurs forward, crossing the distance faster than ever. Driving his spear hand right into your diaphragm again, your body retaliating with a left short body hook to the ribs. His fingers slam into your armored ki first, but your Energy Body absorbs the blow. And you can see his eyes widen in shock at this, realizing his attack hasn't worked. Then his face scrunches in pain as your hook lands on his floating ribs, Granolah wincing in pain.

    “Khhhh-!?” he winces, hissing through clenched teeth. And before he recovers your body continues the attack, following it up with a right cross to his temple then a left jab to the nose before dropping your level, twisting your hips and landing a powerful right straight with all the power of your legs, hips, back and arm square to his guts. “Gyuuuh?!”
    “What's wrong? Your fancy pressure point tricks not working?” you taunt as he staggers back, hands clutching his stomach. Snarling, he then leaps back, drawing his arms up into that same archer-like stance. Energy gathered in his fingertips, forming a line of crackling power between his hands.

    “DIE!” he shouts, firing that same attack that had nearly killed you again. But this time your body is ready, kicking off the ground and weaving around the massive blast. Which strikes the Namekian's home, blasting straight through it as you charge him. “Shit!”
    “You won't kill me that easily!” you shout back, Granolah bracing his right arm with his left, firing a barrage of smaller blasts from his right fingertips at you. But this is too easy for Supreme Instinct, your body weaving, flipping and spinning through the rain of smaller blasts.


    cont
    >>
    >>6478498
    “Grrrr! DIE! Die die die die diiiee!!” he roars, once again increasing the volume of shots fired. But no matter how hard he spams his shots, he can't hit you. Your body effortlessly weaving through them with the Su Ma movements, thoughtlessly weaving in and out through the barrage as you close the distance. Weaving in and out, getting close once more. Only for him to end the barrage, and try to put a hole through you the identical way he did before, readying that massive attack and using the barrage to hide himself charging it. But this time you're ready, and right as he tries to fire, your body spins clockwise.

    Kicking his right wrist aside with a spinning right heel roundhouse kick, your attack diverting his aim right as he fires. Sending his attack wide, the blast screaming off into the distance harmlessly. And his head wide open as your body continues the spin, the momentum building into a left turning kick to the right side of his head. Knocking him right off his feet, sending him skipping across the ground several times before sliding to a stop. Finishing your spin, you land on your feet, looking over your left shoulder at him lying on the ground. Where, unsurprisingly, he's pushing himself back up to his feet. Clearly not done yet, not giving up so easily.

    “Dammit. How? How are you this strong?” he asks as he staggers up to his feet, turning back to you. Eyes still blazing with determined hatred, but now you can also see the doubt starting to creep in. “I am the strongest! I know I am, that was my wish! I gave up everything for the strength to do what must be done, how can I be losing?”
    “Simple. Because when you wished for power, what did you do with it?” you ask him, as you start walking towards him. “Did you keep going? Keep pushing yourself further, keep training to reach greater and greater heights?”
    “TRAIN?!” he spits, incredulously. “What need for the strongest in the universe have for paltry training? I am the strongest! No one can beat me!”

    And, in that moment, you understand him. And understand why he'll never overcome you, not as he is now. And if he wasn't trying to kill you, you'd almost feel bad for him. He gave up everything, all for nothing. Because you're ending this, now.

Curious what other tricks he may still have up his sleeve, as well as what Meloka is doing with the Namekian and the progress Towa is making on gathering the Dragon Balls and making the wish?

    >“TRAIN?!” he spits, incredulously. “What need for the strongest in the universe have for paltry training? I am the strongest! No one can beat me!”
    Man that... pitiful. It's shame too, because if circumstances weren't what they are, there's a lot he could learn from somebody like Karn. Maybe he'll learn better in the afterlife, assuming he keeps his body I mean.
    >>6478500
    >Ready to keep putting belt to ass on Granolah?
    I'm ready to pay him back for that shot to heart earlier. I'm thinking an Infinite Armed Dempsey Roll is in order.
    >Curious what other tricks he may still have up his sleeve
    A little, but I'm not sure what he has that might bail him out of this one. Between all his wounds and his rapidly draining stamina, I'm not sure he's even in a position to pull out any tricks anymore.
    >Are you surprised the Tuffle is seemingly not present, or did you expect that to be a false flag meant to divide your attention from the current battle?
    I'm just gonna go ahead and assume the sentient space skeet is waiting until we're tired and injured before he makes his grand entrance.
    >>
    >>6478500
    Too bad Granolah never learned that overwhelming strength is meaningless before Karn. Karn has been fighting beings stronger than himself his entire goddamn life. You'd think G-bar have done his homework better what with his unending obsession fueling him. Guess he was just looking at the wrong Saiyan Warrior to see what he had to overcome.
    >>
    >>6478500
    Granolah is shockingly green. Like, I knew he was shortsighted, wishing for power and all, but other than his assassin training he is very lacking in the art of combat. He seems too used to having the upper hand and getting the jump on people.
    >“GYAAAAAAAH!!?” he cries in surprise and pain as your sword swings true, cleaving through his collarbone and embedding itself in his shoulder. Barrier collapsing as he screams in pain, clearly not used to suffering a debilitating injury as his concentration collapses instantly.
    He's clearly not used to pain, and I don't mean bodyshots and stuff, but slashing, impalement and all of the really nasty stuff that would put regular people down instantly. A big powerlevel doesn't save you from that. For someone so obsessively dedicated to studying our fights, he doesn't seem to realize that written tests and practical exams are entirely different beasts.
    >His fingers slam into your armored ki first, but your Energy Body absorbs the blow. And you can see his eyes widen in shock at this, realizing his attack hasn't worked. Then his face scrunches in pain as your hook lands on his floating ribs
    Maybe its because we didn't open up with Energy Body at first and go in at all cylinders that it fucked him over now, but this IS our signature bread-and-butter.
    >“What's wrong? Your fancy pressure point tricks not working?” you taunt as he staggers back, hands clutching his stomach.
    >“Grrrr! DIE! Die die die die diiiee!!” he roars, once again increasing the volume of shots fired. But no matter how hard he spams his shots, he can't hit you.
    Seems pretty easy to get under his skin and make him lose his cool too, especially when things aren't going his way. Seems like an angsty teenager, I think? Like a much younger Freeza, before he embraced The School of Swole. Speaking of gains, this is the biggest reveal of his character.
    >“Dammit. How? How are you this strong?” he asks as he staggers up to his feet, turning back to you. Eyes still blazing with determined hatred, but now you can also see the doubt starting to creep in. “I am the strongest! I know I am, that was my wish!

    >“TRAIN?!” he spits, incredulously. “What need for the strongest in the universe have for paltry training? I am the strongest! No one can beat me!”
    He's lived a life of being a long-range assassin, probably whacking regular schmoes, organized criminals and sorry bastards that owed the Heeters money. He doesn't get what fighting at this level means. His ill-thought plan was to gain the advantage like every other time and control the situation with overwhelming physical power, except he wrapped his ego into it with a big fight with deadlines and all instead of, I dunno, wishing for super poison or meteors to kill all the saiyans. His arrogance and lack of perspective is what kills him. And Karn, too.
    >>
    >>6478580
    I'm saying all of this to say that had we not pussyfooted around in Beserker God at the start, or rolled that once-in-a-blue-moon double critfail (thank you whoever the hero was that remembered our Senzu Bean), we might've been able to dogwalk Granolah and give him a Boi-style assbeating. That said, he IS legitimately dangerous and more competent than Trunks was as a Time Patroller, but he has his weaknesses. I suggest using Force Lightning or the Lightning Energy Body for when he tries that bow & arrow shit or another one of those pressure point knuckle things. Maybe we can use Dun Möch too, but we might be out of practice. The goal here is to keep controlling the fight, make HIM adapt to US, get Granolah to slip up, put the fear of Karn in the boy and annihilate him.
    >>
    >>6478502
    Very true. Best to never count a schemer out.
    I'll say this, not yet. But he's no longer holding back.
    >>6478503
    He's a kid fueled by vengeance who gave up everything for a chance at revenge. But perhaps you won't have to kill him...
    Those two don't stack, as the power comes from the rotation and landing the repeated shots. The Infinite Arms would get in the way after only a second or two
    He did get his wounds healed by the Namekian, you both came into round two healed up. At least his shoulder wound, he still had those small cuts.
    A fair assumption. After all, if they're linked, it knows the level of threat you are and that if it's watching this fight knows your Energy Body you're currently using prevents him from invading your body.
    >>6478519
    Watching a fight on a screen doesn't compare to fighting the person yourself.
    >>6478580
    He's only 35, young for his species, but you'd think that'd be old enough to know better. And he's spent his years, spoiler for those who haven't read the manga: working as a mercenary/assassin for Elec
    Very good observations. He's never been in a fight of this scale, always fighting low tiers and thugs, not actual warriors.
    Long and close range, but yes. He thought if he was the strongest in all the universe, he'd just win. Because the strongest always wins, so if he's the strongest he'll win.
    >>6478582
    If you'd gone all-out from the start so too would he. He doesn't just want to win, he wants to prove himself BETTER.

    >you exclaim, recognizing that darker, malicious ki. “Dammit, not now.”
    What an unfortunate timing. Now Freeza will get all the fun of this fight.

    Last time it was far away on a planet where Arctus’ factory is, so no Saiyan population near. I am really curious what is reaction of modern Saiyans to Cumber? Perhaps they feel the memory of this ancient threat in their blood. I wonder what Vegea will think? I am sure many will be very curious. Cumber is a Saiyan, but he is a kind of Saiyan they never saw before.
    >>6478243
    >Freeza will remember this
    Cool. This will have good effect on him.

    >“You come for a fight, or to play with toy swords?” one of the Heeters, the small one you fought before says derisively.
    >“Oooooh, shiny. Boss, I want one!” the large, rotund one says; pointing at Moonlight resting against your shoulder. “Can I get a glowing sword too?”
    How unsubtle they are in their intentions and in hiding what side they are really on.

    >Taking out the Senzu Bean you'd kept since Conton City, popping it into your mouth and quickly chewing it as everything goes dark.
    If I remember tight. It was Trunks (formerly the Boy) who gave this to Karn. Therefore indirectly Trunks saved Karn’s life today.

    I think this wound could be serious enough to trigger Zenkai.

    >Only for Meloka to raise a hand, leveling a finger to Death Beam him. But, as she does, you get another flash of Foresight. One that shows her killing him, then the Dragon Balls losing their glow.
    Awesome Foresight.
    >>6478429
    >But whatever else he was about to say is cut off, as your wife teleports him away elsewhere. Leaving you and Granolah alone, outside the Namekian's home.
    Very smart. If she could reach out far enough, perhaps she teleported the Namekian to another planet.
    >>6478499
    > “I am the strongest! I know I am, that was my wish! I gave up everything for the strength to do what must be done, how can I be losing?”
    Karn improved since then.

    >And that's it for tonight, everyone enjoying the run so far?
    Yes. Very exciting, though some moments were really scary.
    >Ready to keep putting belt to ass on Granolah?
    Yes.
    >Curious what other tricks he may still have up his sleeve, as well as what Meloka is doing with the Namekian and the progress Towa is making on gathering the Dragon Balls and making the wish?
    Yes.
    >Are you surprised the Tuffle is seemingly not present, or did you expect that to be a false flag meant to divide your attention from the current battle?
    Tuffle may be hiding inside the Cerealian that is before Karn.
    >And are you ready for more?
    Sure.

    Yoink.
    Freeza does get a good fight, and everyone on New Salda will sense Cumber. Which may or may not present a problem, if his energy infects them as well. But surely Freeza's got this.
    Gas still hates you for kicking his ass with ease. And the big one's a little slow. He just wants a shiny glowy sword.
    Oh it absolutely was, I've already added that into the math.
    >>6478605
    >cheater bean
    Ha!
    Better question is what has the Namekian told your wife? And whether or not she believes him.

    “The strongest? Hmph, maybe you WERE the strongest, when you made that wish. But, in the time you've spent after making it, cheating your way to power instead of earning it, I was training. Fighting, giving my all to become better. Stronger, faster, BETTER than I was the day before. While you sat on your laurels, wasting the power you were given.” you lecture as you walk towards him, Granolah panting and struggling to catch his breath. A small trickle of blood coming from the corner of his mouth, that he wipes away with the back of his left hand's glove. “And that is why I'm stronger than you.

    “Tch! You think your pitiful training can overcome what I have become?!” he shouts, taking that same archer stance, energy gathered as he readies that same powerful attack once more. But you don't react, and instead keep walking towards him. “I'm the strongest in the universe! I will kill you, Saiyan, and destroy your world! Just as your people destroyed mine! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!!”
    “No, you won't. You, just like everyone else who's tried, will die.” you say, continuing to walk towards him, unafraid and unhurried. “And your name, your people, everything, will be forgotten to history once you, the last of your kind, go and meet them in the afterlife.”

    “No... No, I won't lose. I, I can't lose! I WON'T lose!!” he roars, shifting his stance. Holding both hands out in front of him in that shooter stance instead of the more archer-styled one, and suddenly you feel his power spiking. Your instincts suddenly warn you he's dangerous again, and with a crack you hear it. You watch as his left eye seemingly breaks, the blue eye vanishing. Iris and pupil consumed as his left eye changes, becoming the same crimson eye as his right. And you can feel his strength surge, power spiking higher than ever as his resolve pushes him to become stronger. As his desire to kill you and have his revenge shatters his limits, and he fully ascends. The tension hangs thick in the air between you, his newfound strength surging as his energy gathers in his fingertips. Your instincts are screaming in warning, but can't find anywhere to run, no direction to move that doesn't leave you right in his crosshairs.

    But what do you do? How do you approach the fight now?

    Watching him, the change in his composure and his glare, you realize you're going to need to take back control, now. So, with a thought you open your Energy Body around the pads of your fingertips as your body lunges in. Granolah fires his twin attacks, the beams moving twice as fast as his attack used to. But your body still dodges it, narrowly. Twisting counterclockwise around the beams, one narrowly grazes your Energy Body. And carves right through your armor as if it weren't even there, you repairing it with a thought and small investment of ki as you continue. Closing in as he ends the attack, and with a thought channel your rage and anger. And as you swing, Granolah raising his arm to block your spinning left backfist, the anger-fueled lightning begins crackling and dancing along your armor.

    “Wha-?!” Granolah exclaims, seeing the change. But it's too late, and as your forearms clash, the Cerelean blocking your strike, the lightning takes the path of least resistance. Directly into his body, the jolting current locking all of his muscles simultaneously. “GHAAH!?”
    “Got you.” you reply, your body reversing the spin with a right elbow straight to his sternum. The heavy blow landing while he's still engulfed in lightning, unable to move before your follow-up lands. The power spike not mattering as long as he can't USE this newfound power, and your body goes on the attack. Following that right back elbow to his sternum with a turning left hammerfist to the collarbone, right short body hook to the ribs under his still-raised arm from the block, a left straight to the jaw that snaps his head back, then a lunging right knee to the guts. Each blow landing and sending more of your dark lightning coursing through his body, paralyzing him between attacks and giving him no chance to retaliate. Unable to bring his power to bare.

    “Gyuuuooh-!” he wheezes as the knee winds him, electrocuted body unable to even double over despite the pain he's in. Following it up with a left shovel hook to his jaw then a second right body hook to his ribs. Feeling them crack as the heavy power blow lands, his face scrunching in pain. But as you go for a left uppercut, he finally unleashes his power and roars. “SH-SHIELD!!”

    And a lime green bubble of energy appears around him, your left slamming into the shielding ki. Your lightning dancing along the outside of his barrier, the Cerelean gasping for breath inside his protective bubble. You strike it, one, two, three times, but are unable to make a dent in that shield of his.

    “Haa. Haaa. Haaahaaa. Hahaha!” Granolah laughs, wincing as his cracked ribs flare, leaving him in visible pain. “Can't. Get me. In here.”

    >>6478644
    “Oh yeah?” you reply, planting your feet, drawing your right fist back. And, focusing on your ki, you decide to try and combine two of your techniques as you end the Lightning Body. Instead of combining it with the hate-fueled lightning, you instead focus on one of your earliest techniques you were taught. Pouring more of your energy into the Energy Body around your right fist, thickening the ki there. Reshaping it as you open your right fist, making the same spear hand Granolah has been swinging at you. And shaping your ki around your hand, combining it with the principles of your Ki Blade Meloka showed you how to make all those years ago. Sharpening your Energy Body around your right hand into a piercing, slashing blade. “HRRYAAAA!!”

    With that roar you swing, thrusting your right hand with all the power of your legs, hips, back, shoulders and arm. Thrusting your hand into his shield, your sharpened ki piercing through. Granolah's eyes widen in shock as your attack cuts right through his shield, your hand piercing his chest as well. Burying your bladed hand to the wrist in his chest, Granolah looking down in shock. His barrier technique fades as you feel his power plummet, his shaking hands grabbing your arm, trying to pull your arm out of him.

    “Ahh-! Ghluck!” he exclaims, then spits up blood as his body goes limp. Tearing your hand free he collapses, crumpling to the ground and clutching at his chest. His left eye returns to normal, curiously enough as his power plummets. Bleeding out, his life fading before you. You did it, it's over.

    However, right as you have that thought, Meloka returns. Bringing the Namekian back as well, your wife LETTING the elder run to Granolah. You look them over in confusion, wondering why your wife is letting this happen.

    “Mel?” you ask her, brows furrowing in confusion.
    “G-Granolah?!” the Namekian, Monaito shouts, abandoning his staff, rushing over to and and kneeling by Granolah. His hands reaching towards him to start healing the Cerelean.

    I agree with you. This makes things much more complicated. Meloka is a very good fighter. I wonder if she is 100% lost already or perhaps she can still try to fight Baby's control. A bit like Trunks in the Dragon Ball GT. Maybe she can resist it a least now.

    The more I'm thinking about it, the less sense it makes for Meloka to be convinced into saving Granolah's life. She's confident enough in our combined power to not need Granolah's help, she's fully aware of the stakes and what we're dealing with, and she has no reason to trust Monaito. If it's to grill Granolah for information, it wouldn't be anything he'd give up or Towa wouldn't know about. She's never been THAT quick to switch up on someone or trust them that quickly. Something isn't right here.

    With your wife not answering you immediately, you get a bad feeling about this. And fearing the worst, that the Tuffle's gotten her, you grab the Namekian by the collar and leap back away from Granolah. Bringing the blade still around your right hand, your shaped Energy Body blade up to his cheek.

    “Talk. What's going on?” you ask him, voice a low snarl. “Convince me to let you heal him, or you watch him die.”
    “Karn, stop! We need him, both of them!” your wife shouts, suddenly panicked. “It's Towa! She's been captured!”
    “What?!” you ask, eyes going wide with sudden worry. And in your shock, release the Namekian without meaning to. He rushes over, kneeling over Granolah and immediately begins to heal him as your wife talks.

    “I took him with me, went to Towa to get out of the way. But the Tuffle, it was hiding UNDER the second Dragon Ball. The moment she went to grab it, it jumped out, and went inside her!” your wife says, her expression panicked as she holds up that Dragon Ball. “It took her! So I grabbed the Dragon Ball and Monaito here, and disappeared.”
    “I can confirm that is true.” the Namekian says, without looking up. “It came here once before. Infected us all. Once it was defeated, I used my powers as this world's Guardian to protect the people here from such influence again. But it would seem that monster is back. I had sensed its presence return vaguely, over a month ago, but could not find it as the creature kept itself hidden. Now I see why. It is fueled by the same anger as Granolah, the poor boy. He doesn't know he and I both owe our lives to the Saiyan Tatsu.”

    Before you can fully process this, Towa herself suddenly appears behind Meloka. And she's not playing around, having ascended into her full power Demon Goddess form. Your wife, sensing this immediately drops down onto all fours, narrowly avoiding a thrust from that god-slaying spear Godsend aimed at her back. And as she drops, the Dragon Ball she'd grabbed rolls out of her hand. Flipping away as Towa follows up the strike with a downward stomp of her heel, your wife pulls the orb to her hand, landing beside you worriedly. But then Towa looks up, and her expression is panicked.

    “Karn, don't drop your guard! She's been taken! That clever bastard was hiding not in Granolah as we thought, but the Namekian!” Towa exclaims, her tone a mess of emotions. “It took her, and she's trying to turn you against me! Don't drop your armor, or you're next!”
    “Don't listen to her! She's the one that's infected!” your wife shouts back, standing beside you against Towa as Monaito continues healing the Cerelean. “She's too strong, if all three of us fight her, we might be able to take her down!”

    You look, back and forth between the two, seeing the hurt in their eyes as you don't immediately believe each of them. But then your wife reaches out, telepathically.

    “Karn. Please, we have to stop her. She broke the sword, the one that could summon that fire to stop your Lifehunt from taking you. It's not her. Please, you have to believe me.” she thinks to you, which settles who was really taken. But that leaves an even bigger problem, how do you save Towa?

    “Dammit, that makes sense.” you reply, leaping away from your wife. Turning mid-air and landing beside Towa, facing down your wife. Whose jaw drops, eyes wide in shock. Clearly having not expected you to do this, and seeing the hurt in her eyes at your seeming disbelief, you know you're going to have to make this up to her later. “We have to get that thing out of her, and save Meloka!”
    “Karn...” your wife says, still not getting what you're doing. But the Tuffle controlling Towa completely buys your act, and from the corner of your eye you can see her smirking at your wife. Clearly enjoying thinking it's gotten the better of you, that it's smarter than you and turned you against your wife.

    “Good. We kill the Cerelean, before the Namekian finishes healing him, then we-” Towa starts before you turn, wrapping your arms around her and hugging her to you. “Wha-?”

    But before she can react, before they realize what's about to happen, you shift your Energy Body again. Readying your Lightning Body technique, and pouring all your hate, all your fury at that bastard capturing your Towa into the darker technique. Channeling it into destructive lightning, letting that current surge through the path of least resistance as your Energy Body-clad arms grab one another and lock her in the hold. All of that power surging directly into Towa. Who immediately screams bloody murder as the rage-fueled lightning fills her, the woman screaming and thrashing as the electricity courses throughout her body. The electricity causing her muscles to contract randomly, making her body thrash as she screams. But you don't relent, even when her flailing limbs hit you hard enough for you to feel yourself bruising through your Energy Body shielding you from the worst of the damage you would have taken.

    “Get out of her!” you snarl through clenched teeth as you keep channeling more and more power, feeling the tips of your fingers begin to burn, then char. But you don't stop, not relenting until that bastard either flees her or dies. “GRRAAAAAA!!”
    “KYAAAAAAAAAAA!” Towa cries in agony, flailing until, all of a sudden, she just... Stops. Her entire body goes limp, like a marionette with its strings cut as she collapses in your arms. Reverting back to her base form, dropping the spear and Dragon Ball as you then end your attack, laying her down carefully, gently. Pressing your hand to her neck, but unable to feel through your Energy Body, you're about to lower your shield. When, once more, you get a flash of Foresight. Seeing that if you lower your guard to check on her, that Tuffle will lunge from somewhere BEHIND you, and get inside you through your ear. So, as the flash of Foresight ends you turn, just in time to see it go not after you, or the Namekian or Cerelean. But for your wife, who's seemingly unaware it's right behind her!

    And that's it for this weekend, enjoying the ride? Did you see that twist coming, that the Tuffle had abandoned her body after taking control of it to wield her remotely? Can you react in time to save your wife, or will Meloka be the next of its many victims? All this and more, next time when Saiyan Conqueror Quest continues!

    >>6478740
    I don't know HOW the Heeters are involved in this, but I get the feeling we'll have to blow them up too. Thankfully Meloka seems to have secured one of the Dragonballs, we just need to intercept Baby in time. But Baby is the nastiest little pest we've had to deal with.
    >>
    >>6478745
    Telekinesis the goo, obviously. He's not very strong when he's a liquid so just bubble his ass when he can't physically overpower the hold. Maybe double it up with a ki barrier around him as well. It's so simple even a monkey could do it. It's never so easy.

    I can't wait to terminate this late stage mistake.
    >>
    >>6478758
    What's faster though, telekinesis or just blasting him out of the air?
    >>
    >>6478761
    I don't think the telekinesis has travel time so probably it.
    >>
    >>6478744
    Come on, you had to know he KNEW that head and the old plans on it were captured. He had to be sneakier. Just didn't expect you to have a kill switch for his egg inside Towa. The moment it turned into a fight, he was going to grab Meloka and make it a 2v1. Turning both yoru loved ones against you. But a double 90s in the back half of those rolls stopped that from happening without interference.
    >>6478745
    Remember, Monaito only protected himself, Granolah, and the people OF this planet. Not the Heeters. Small spoiler, but They've been under his influence long before they came to you with the warning of Granolah.
    >>6478758
    Have you ever tried to bare hand grab jello?
    >spoiler
    Indeed.
    Good luck. This one's even wilier. And with Towa out of commission, no one present can do anything to truly stop him, as nobody here knows how to Mafuba.
    >>6478761
    Telekinesis is technically faster, as it's instant. But it requires more startup. Essentially has a longer startup animation than the beam, but hits instantly. Whereas the beam has travel time. Basically, a question of frames, both are near-identical at this range in terms of effective time.
    >>
    >>6478872
    >Have you ever tried to bare hand grab jello?
    I mean my hand is not an invisible energy with no specific shape, let alone tendons or muscles or bones which dictate the fashion in which force is applied so I don't quite think that's a fair comparison. Also I have bare hand grabbed jello, it's not like it's particularly hard badumtiss

    >Essentially has a longer startup animation than the beam, but hits instantly
    Another benefit to the telekinesis is that you don't have to lead with it either, so when you're trying to danger close you won't run as much of a risk of braining your buddy by mistake. Unless you don't particularly like whomever it is you are fighting alongside, then it's a downside.

    >But be influenced by? How do you know you're not under its influence already? Or if not you,
    I did not realize it earlier, but the effect of Profane Flame is more subtle. It could change what path to Power Meloka will choose. Will it be Primal Deity or something else. Without contact with sentient fire maybe her choice could be different.

    I don’t know how to spot effects of this influence on Karn. Maybe it already affected him and we did not notice.

    Then again, wait a second. Are you implying that the blade was influencing Karn already? Even though he pretty much not used the sword? Just sleeping in the proximity of this weapon and not touching it. Was it enough to affect Karn and other people nearby? If so this a lot more than I initially thought.
    >then what about Kayle?
    Seems like she did not have much contact with this sword. Maybe there is no effect on her yet, but if there would be, it could be subtle. What if it could affect her personality and what kind of person she will become?
    >>6478690
    >She broke the sword, the one that could summon that fire to stop your Lifehunt from taking you. It's not her.
    I guess now that the blade is destroyed all the influence of Profane Flame is gone. Or perhaps it does not go away merely because the item is broken?

    Also I think that it is likely that Okira’s power can perfectly fix this sword, restoring it with same quality as Chilli’s Chaos Magic time reversal could do. Then again if the flame is sentient, does it mean that it is alive and cannot be affected by Imagine Dragon’s power? So many unknowns.

    >>6478689
    >“I took him with me, went to Towa to get out of the way. But the Tuffle, it was hiding UNDER the second Dragon Ball. The moment she went to grab it, it jumped out, and went inside her!” your wife says, her expression panicked as she holds up that Dragon Ball. “It took her! So I grabbed the Dragon Ball and Monaito here, and disappeared.”
    Baby capturing a body of a time traveler Towa is probably one of the biggest wins it could ever score. At first you think he grabbed her and just rushed right after Meloka here to attempt to trick Karn, but Tuffle King’s clone is a smart villain.

    With her powers of time travel he can escape confines of this universe and time. Many of the limits that were chaining him are no more, and the vast priceless knowledge about timelines and time manipulation is available to him thanks to Towa’s mind.

    Remember how Chronoa was experimenting with Timelines and Baby? If I remember right, in one instance he gained control of Berserker Soul. She just deleted that timeline, because that is how much of a threat Baby is, and now he is in a body of a time traveling, magically talented, Demon Goddess.

    I don’t think he rushed after Meloka right away. Instead he did a jump in time to who knows where and when. Using Towa’s knowledge he could find the right place to hide, to prepare. To make sure he won’t be defeated even if we kill him in next episode. Perhaps the Tuffle Parasite that was electrocuted out of Towa’s body is already not the same. It’s another copy-clone something.

    The Baby2 that captured Towa did not return to this time line. This blob that jumped out of her is a new copy made, so that Karn and his allies can kill it and then have their “win”.

    While the true parasite that captured Towa is not even here anymore. With her time traveling powers he could do so much, and then send this Towa’s body back, and make it seem to us that no time has passed in between.

    To us only seconds passed. Towa chased after Meloka “right away”. However with time travel involved he could just escape, do a lot, and return to the same moment, to make it appear to us that nothing more happened.
    This Towa may not be even our Towa, but a clone, or perhaps he send our Towa back here, but not before he already made has a new copy/clone of Towa somewhere in time for himself.

    I know it all sounds crazy, but giving someone like Baby2 access to time ravel is a recipe for disaster and it looks like it already happened. This is a mess that most likely may even grow to a scale of problem that requires Mecikabura, Chronoa or Aeos to do something about it.

    If you say, that there is no need to worry, and Baby did not decide to abuse time travel when it suddenly became available to him, I will not believe you.

    Even if we kill “him” next episode it will not be over.

    Lighting Body just proved to be so good. Karn was going against noticeably stronger opponent and this technique worked like a charm. Awesome.

    >“Oh yeah?” you reply, planting your feet, drawing your right fist back.
    >shaping your ki around your hand, combining it with the principles of your Ki Blade Meloka showed you how to make all those years ago. Sharpening your Energy Body around your right hand into a piercing, slashing blade. “HRRYAAAA!!”
    Karn just did that on a spot. This was not practiced. I do not remember doing this in any training. It was discussed among anons as a possible idea, but never done before. Karn just went from idea in the heat of the moment to making it instantly.
    >Energy Body + Ki Blade
    So awesome in my opinion.
    Also that is why it is not wise to go overconfident against Karn, just because someone witnessed all techniques and moves he did so far. This one was new.
    I like it very much.

    Yes. A lot. Fun episode.
    >Did you see that twist coming, that the Tuffle had abandoned her body after taking control of it to wield her remotely?
    No, but Baby is a smart villain and I’m not surprised he is this clever.
    >Can you react in time to save your wife, or will Meloka be the next of its many victims?
    I hope Karn can, but we will find out next episode.
    >All this and more, next time when Saiyan Conqueror Quest continues!

    >>6478876
    That's essentially what grabbing Baby would feel like, his body's more liquid than solid when he wants to be.
    True enough.
    >>6479739
    I'll say this, it could only have influence over those who HAVE already channeled their ki into the blade. It's not quite the One Ring influencing everyone near it.
    No, the blade only SUMMONS the Profaned Flame. It doesn't CREATE it, it acts like a channel or conduit.
    Yes, Okira could repair the blade.
    >>6479741
    A very interesting theory.
    You know that is YOUR Towa, as over time Karn's learned to tell the difference. And Meloka would have felt her Demon Seal activate if it wasn't your Towa.
    >>6479743
    >spoiler
    You're not near one currently.
    He did pull quite the effective jumping, having predicted you would send someone after the Dragon Balls. Though the WHY he was expecting this you'll have to guess.
    >>6479746
    Against an inexperienced opponent who doesn't know what to do in this situation, it was super effective.
    Yes. THIS is the advantage of Supreme Instinct. I had told you that doing so wouldn't be easy, that it would require a lot of training to do. But that was BEFORE you obtained your current control over Supreme Instinct. And NOW you all see one of the advantages of the power. It allows you to do things in that form you could normally only do through extensive training.
    Towa's advanced Demon God form is not strong, but STRONG.
    Thankfully, you avoided getting the absolute worst wet willie ever. But yes, a very crucial moment is about to happen.
    Glad you're enjoying, and that his sneakiness wasn't predicted.

    “Hearts” thought it would be funny to give Baby a heads-up. This was done so that things aren’t going too smoothly for Karn. I mean Cumber showed up at nearly same time. Suspicious.
    >Yes. THIS is the advantage of Supreme Instinct. I had told you that doing so wouldn't be easy, that it would require a lot of training to do.

    This is incredibly awesome. I guess this explains how Karn managed to shape the Lifehunt ice into blade without trying that earlier. What can I say? Supreme Instinct is fantastic.

    Though I wonder, would Karn be able to combine Energy Body and Ki Blade now? Or is it still only available for him only when he is in the state of Supreme Instinct?
    >Towa's advanced Demon God form is not strong, but STRONG.
    Very good.
    >>6480041
    >Starting to get that same pit in my stomach that I got when Kars copied Botamo's damage nullification back in the first 6v7 Expo.
    Good thing that Kars’ rampaging body did not use this instinctively, when Karn and Meloka were helping him to regain self-control after he lost himself in the hunger, because he copied Meloka’s Primal Deity transformation.
    >>6480521
    >And if the Tuffle hijacked her and left the timeline, Mechikabura's Time Patrol would have known about it, right?
    Of course.
    It's not as if Tuffle was hiding in the body of someone who could potentially have access to magic that allows one conceal themselves and hide from Time Patrol, just like our Towa.
    Can she do it? I mean she researches a lot of topics… so there is a chance she could be more skilled at this than she was years before.

    Time Patrol knows our Towa. This would not lower their guard when it comes to her? Right?

    It’s not like Towa was successfully hiding from Time Patrol for many years, and now all this experience on how to avoid them, is available to the Tuffle.

    Time Patrol is sharp and vigilant. I’m sure they will spot any anomaly. It’s not like they are heavily overwhelmed by beings from beyond invading entire reality.

    Sorry for bringing this whole topic up. There is probably no reason to worry about it. Or maybe there is?

    Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:

    After spending the morning of the fight in bed with Towa and Meloka, Karn and the women get up, dressing and getting ready to go to battle. However, after Towa retreats to her laboratory to prepare herself for her mission, Karn and Meloka's trip to Planet Cereal is interrupted by the arrival of Cumber of all people appearing on New Salda. However, before he could cause trouble, Freeza interfered, taking on the massive Saiyan himself to protect the planet. And then, upon arriving on Planet Cereal on the Heeters' ship, Karn sensed not one but TWO Granolahs. Splitting up, he and Meloka each went to face one of them. A fierce battle ensued, Karn and the stronger Granolah nearly killing one another several times before he ultimately triumphed. Only for Meloka and Towa to arrive, accusing one another of being under the influence of the Tuffle parasite. And with quick thinking, Meloka proved she wasn't the one captured, and Karn electrocuted the parasite inside Towa, rendering her unconscious. However, as we rejoin Karn, the parasite itself wasn't inside Towa, but controlling her remotely! And the real one is going for Meloka, who is seemingly unaware!

    Your eyes widen, seeing the creature trying to sneak up on your wife, its metallic body turning liquid as it tries to go inside her ear. You focus, ki gathering behind your eyes. However, Meloka sees this. And before you can fire, immediately understanding the look of terror on your face, with a thought she activates her own Energy Body technique! Her ki solidifying around her in a small, thin layer of energy. But it's enough to stop the monster from invading her body, its more-liquid form slamming into her shielding energy. Unable to penetrate, as your Eye Beams slam into it, piercing through the creature's liquid-like body. In response, it tries to fully engulf your wife. Its liquid metallic body engulfing her completely.

    “Dammit!” you snarl, leveling your hand towards her, ready to unleash your lightning. However, before you can, suddenly your wife's energy expands out from her. Forming a sphere around her, the liquid metal of the Tuffle stretched out around it. Then, as you watch, it INVERTS. Your wife reversing it, to engulf the Tuffle instead of herself. The sphere reforming in a two foot wide sphere over her right hand, trapping the creature inside. “Wh-Woah.”


    cont
    >>
    >>6480647
    “Little shit, thought you had me, huh?” your wife replies, lowering the orb to stare at the reformed upper half of the Tuffle inside it with a smirk. “Try and take MY body?”
    “Tch! Damnmit, I almost had you!” the parasite snarls from inside the shield, tiny fists slamming futilely against the inside of your wife's energy construct, everything below its waist remaining liquid in the bottom of the sphere's containment. “Release me right this instant!”

    However, you realize something's wrong. The voice coming from that Tuffle, unlike the one you saw before, is unmistakably FEMALE. Unlike the male voice the previous one had. Something Meloka seems to catch as well, her eyes flicking from it to you, a brow raised in confusion. Which leaves one question:

    But what do you do now?

    “Well, we got the Tuffle. I'll call Chaya down, have her seal this one away too.” you say, watching the Tuffle's eyes widen in terror. Clearly knowing about that technique she used, and before you can reach out to your daughter, it speaks.
    “Woah woah woah, there's no need for that Karn! Honest!” the tiny Tuffle says, raising both hands palms-out, shaking them nervously. “There's no need to put me in the jar!”
    “So, you know my name, huh?” you reply, brows furrowing. The voice sounds familiar, but you can't quite place it. “Of course you do, you damned Tuffle. And I know enough about you to know that wish for immortality will keep me from killing you, no matter what I do. So, you're getting locked away for the rest of eternity.”

    “Immortality? I-” it starts, clearly confused by what you say. Only for your Foresight to activate again, and you see it. ANOTHER Tuffle will go for Granolah, while you're distracted by this one. And the moment it does, will fire that same chest-bursting attack the Cerelean fired before, piercing even through your armor. So you have to act fast, or not at all! And as the vision ends you turn, thrusting your hand telepathically. Slamming into ANOTHER Tuffle that had been sneaking up, splattering its semi-liquid form all over the ground as your telekinetic thrust smashes a small crater into the ground. Stopping it well-short of reaching the Cerelean.

    “Dammit, how many of you ARE there?” you snarl, then with a thought grab both Granolah's unconscious body and Monaito, leaping up into the air and dragging them both airborne as well with your telekinesis. And as you all leave the ground, the one you'd cratered stands up out of the ground, now looking familiar.
    “I believe you mean, how many of my children are there.” says the one you recognize, as the slime you'd stopped reforms itself into an identical version of the Tuffle your daughter sealed away. “You filthy apes aren't the only ones who've been... Repopulating.”

    “My King, I'm sorry!” the woman sealed by Meloka calls out apologetically. “I have failed you!”
    “Nonsense, my dear. You performed well.” he replies, seemingly unconcerned before turning his gaze back to you both. Stepping on Towa's neck with his heel, staring up at you with malicious glee. “Now, simians. Release my daughter, and kneel. Submit, and your service to the rising Tuffle Empire will be pleasurable. Or, resist, and the rest of your pitiful lives will be excruciatingly painful. The choice is yours. Choose carefully, monkey.”

    “Why you-!” you exclaim, body moving into its fighting stance on its own.
    “Ah ahh ahh!” the Tuffle replies, holding up a finger and shaking it back and forth as he increases the pressure with his heel. Towa's neck squishing a little more under it, showing how little effort he needs to end her life. “I wouldn't move if I were you. Not if you value this one's life.”
    “Tch!” you seethe, then with a thought reach out telepathically. “Chaya. Problem.”

    “Dad? What's going on?” comes the reply, you quickly filling in Chaya on what's happening on Planet Cereal. And you quickly fill her in as you force your body to visibly relax, to appease the Tuffle and buy time. “Okay. I'm ready. Tell me the moment you're ready, I'll teleport to you and fire it off.”
    “I'll keep the link open.” you reply to your daughter, then with a visible effort power down your Energy Body.

    “Karn?!” Meloka exclaims, the Tuffle's grin widening. And he raises a hand toward you, your instincts screaming at you that you're in danger. With a thought, not raising your hand to your forehead you use Instant Transmission to teleport right to Towa, vanishing from the air and reappearing right in front of the Tuffle. Whose eyes widen in shock, clearly not expecting this.
    “HAAAA!!” you roar, blazing your aura and blasting him back with it. And the instant you do, the moment his boot's off Towa's neck you reach back out to Chaya. “NOW!”

    And the instant you finish the word, your daughter appears in front of you, dropping a small jar at her feet with her tail.

    “MAAAAFUUUUBAAAA!!” Chaya roars, thrusting her hands out at the retreating figure of the Tuffle.
    “SHIT!” the parasite shouts, clearly terrified. However, right before your daughter's attack can connect, ANOTHER Tuffle shoots up out of the ground, getting between your daughter and the Tuffle with a shout.
    “MY KING!” the smaller parasite shouts, your daughter's containment technique slamming into it instead of the king. “KYAAAAAAAAH!”

    “Dammit! Dad, I got the wrong one!” Chaya exclaims, as the King takes to the air.
    “SHYAAAAAA!!” he roars, leveling a hand at your daughter's feet, firing a blast clearly aimed at the jar. So, with a thought you grab it with your telekinesis, pulling it from the ground at your daughter's feet and into your palm. Meanwhile, Chaya twists the technique, slamming the smaller one into the main Tuffle, sending both crashing down to the ground. Leaving your daughter panting for a moment, you seeing a tremble run through her arms.

    “Sorry, I missed.” your daughter says, but then you get yet another flash of insight. And in the vision, you see the Tuffle King firing a piercing beam from the dust cloud, catching Chaya by surprise and punching a hole through her forehead. So, the instant the vision ends, you grab her and leap aside. Narrowly dodging the piercing beam that was fired at her, the edge of the beam scratching your daughter's ear. “Tch!”

    “MOVE!” you tell her, releasing her and landing in your fighting stance. Your daughter does so as well, the two of you ready as the smoke clears. And the king and smaller Tuffle are both standing now, but the one they call King is glaring at your daughter with raw, unbridled HATRED.
    “YOU-! I know you.” he says, clenching his fists and trembling with rage. “Where is he?! Where have you hidden the other me?!”
    “As if I'd tell you.” your daughter replies, powering up into her full powered, strongest form.

    “Useless simians. Then I'll dissect you, and learn the truth from your brain.” he replies as he stands tall behind his spawn. “Take them both.”
    “Yes, my king.” the unmistakably male Tuffle says, splitting itself into two identical copies, both taking Raditz' fighting stance. Then, in perfect sync, they both say, “We shall crush you filthy monkeys!”

    “Tch. Damned Tuffles! I've had ENOUGH!” you roar, thrusting both hands forward as you channel your rage and hatred. Unleashing a storm of lightning from your fingertips, dozens of bright blue bolts arcing through the air towards the trio of Tuffles. Your lightning strikes the smaller ones, who act like lightning rods. Drawing your lightning away from the king and absorbing it as they both scream in pain.

    “KYAAAAAH!” the two scream, writhing in agony as your lightning engulfs them. Only for the king, the familiar one to raise both hands in front of his chest. Creating a massive sphere of dark energy the size of his body, and launching it at you. Only for Chaya to fire a beam of her own, her energy slamming into the approaching orb. Forcing you to end the lightning, so your electricity doesn't travel back down your daughter's beam and slam into her. Instead, you draw your right hand back, focusing your ki and firing a deep emerald beam into the attack with your daughter. But, instead of pushing the blast back, your combined energies detonate. The massive blast wave slamming into ALL of you, knocking you all back and away from the point of impact. You landing in a back roll, rolling over once, twice before landing on your feet and sliding to a stop.

    “Khhh.” you exhale, standing back up. Chaya having landed on her feet as well, sweeping her hand to blow away the cloud of dust. Revealing the Tuffle King is still standing, while the two lesser Tuffles are laying in mangled, half-melted piles. Only for their bodies to recombine, rising up to their full height once more and showing no signs of the damage from just a second ago.
    “Kehehehe.” the two say in perfect sync, laughing at you and your daughter. “Is that the best you've got?”
    “Best?” your daughter replies, smirking as she retakes her fighting stance. “I'm not even warmed up yet! C'mon, make me TRY!”

    Chaya then dashes forward, and both of the lesser Tuffles charge right at her as well. Your daughter then, matching the Tuffle's splitting, uses the Multiform on the fly as well. Splitting herself into to two to match the Tuffle that split, both swinging opposite fists and sending the lesser Tuffles in opposite directions. Then she dashes after both of them, leaving the path for your lightning clear.

    “HAAAAA!!” you bellow, unleashing another storm of lightning from your hands. Directly at the Tuffle parasite, whose eyes widen in surprise.

    “Barrier!” the Tuffle shouts, forming a spherical shield of energy around himself. But the shield doesn't stop your lightning, which cuts straight through it. Your energy slamming into him, causing him to scream in pain. However, it immediately sounds... Wrong. As if he's trying to act, the 'flailing' of his limbs moving incorrectly. So you end the attack, and reactivate your Energy Body. And you hold it for a few seconds, then end the attack.

    “I can tell you're faking it. Drop the act.” you say flatly, lowering your hands. The stream of lightning ends, but the bolts still arc across the Tuffle's body for another second or two before being grounded as he smirks.
    “Oh, and I thought I was acting so well, too. Seems you're able to see right through my acts, today.” the Tuffle replies, grin widening. “Lucky me, you didn't figure out my OTHER acts.”

    Well? How do you reply to this news?

    “Meloka! If he doesn't answer my questions, crush the one you've got trapped into nothing.” you call back to your wife, not taking your eyes of the proclaimed 'Tuffle King'. And without waiting for her to answer, you address him again. “Alright, asshole. I'll bite. What the fuck are you talking about?”
    “Learning how to disguise my presence inside of telepathic communications was rather difficult. But, with these results, I would say they were well-warranted.” he answers casually as you can hear the distant sounds of the Multiformed Chaya battling the split lesser Tuffle. “And discovering you were after the Dragon Balls, well... It made my trap all the easier to set for you. Although it was your ally who fell into it, instead of you.”

    And he gestures at Towa behind you, still laying on the ground unconscious. Then, his voice changes, even his syntax and phrasing changing entirely. Taking on the voice of none other than Grand Elder Guru of Namek.

    “You are too late. The Dragon Balls of Namek have already been gathered. And your doom is at hand with that final wish.” he says, smirking maliciously. And before you can ask what he means, suddenly you sense another powerlevel suddenly SURGE. Another warrior's power on this planet spikes dramatically in power. Instantly it's already eclipsing you, Chaya, Meloka, even Granolah's full power. Someone just reached a frightening level of power somewhere else on this planet, a level above and beyond everyone else.And the Tuffle resumes his previous speech pattern. “And now, my NEW strongest warrior is ready. You filthy Saiyans will not see the end of this day.”

    And a second later, a warrior you barely recognize appears. Though, while his strength and appearance are new, you immediately recognize this new, powerful fighter's ki.

    “Gas.” you say, retaking your fighting stance as the Heeter stares down, notably between you and the Tuffle. He's far older than he was before, noticeably taller as well.
    “I'm going to enjoy breaking you, for what you did to me.” he replies, then before you can reply he flicks a finger downward. Your body leaps back, narrowly dodging being crushed by a massive stone slab with dozens of spikes protruding from it that just appeared out of nowhere. Having scooped Towa up as you leaped back, keeping her from being crushed as well. Holding her in your left arm, you land a good distance away.
    “MELOKA!” you call, tossing the still-unconscious body of Towa up to your wife, then dash back towards the Heeter.

    He doesn't move as you charge, then with a flick of his hands conjure two more of the crushing walls, one on either side of you and closing in fast.

    “HRRRYAAAA!!” you roar, throwing your hands out to your sides, firing twin waves of energy to obliterate the walls. However, as you do, in that instant Gas charges forward. Landing a devastating body uppercut to your guts in that split-second you were vulnerable. The heavy blow winding you, dropping you down to a knee as you struggle for a moment to breathe. But Gas doesn't give you a moment to recover, grabbing your head in both hands, slamming his knee heavy into your nose. You feel it crunch, the sudden warm wetness pouring from your ruined nose as the heavy blow snaps your head back. “Gyaah!”

    Gas then unleashes a powerful body kick, one that sends you flying back. Skipping off the ground more than a dozen times before slamming into the Namekian's house. Crashing through it and skidding to a stop on the other side, gasping for air. However, the Heeter doesn't immediately pursue you, which is both a relief and a worry, considering who you left behind back there.

    “Tch!” you exhale, kicking back off the ground and dashing in. Activating your Energy Body as you dash in, swinging a heavy right. Only for Gas to drop his level, your fist sailing through the empty air his head occupied a moment ago. But you don't stop, using the momentum of your swing to front flip, axe kicking down at his head with your right heel. But yet again Gas dodges, rising up and stepping back, dodging outside your kick. Retaliating with a heavy left hook at your jaw. The heavy blow connects, but this time your Energy Body shields you from the worst of the heavy blow. The powerful blow hits your jaw, and even though most of the blow's power is absorbed, it still transfers enough power to you to spin you counterclockwise. Which you use to your advantage, your body accelerating the spin and raising your left. Your left back elbow slams into the back of Gas' head, staggering him forward a step.

    “Kuhh!” he exhales, planting his feet and firing off a short, stabbing back left elbow. But your body's still spinning, twisting around it into a right turning kick to the right side of his head. Knocking Gas off his feet, the Heeter landing in a roll. You land on your feet, retaking your stance as he rolls onto his feet and sliding to a stop. “Tch!”
    “What's wrong, not winning as easily as you thought?” you taunt, kicking off the ground and dashing in again. This time he conjures a spear, thrusting it at your face. But your body, Supreme Instinct flowing through you dodges it easily. Weaving the thrusting point, the slashing edge of his spear and closing the distance. Landing a powerful right lariat to his collarbones, once more crashing into him and knocking him right off his feet. Dragging him through the air a dozen or so yards before stopping, slinging him off your arm. And as you send him flying you raise your right hand to your forehead, focusing on his energy and Instant Transmission behind him where he's heading. And with a roar, deliver a powerful knee to the back of his head. “HRRYAAA!!”

    Your heavy blow sends him straight into the air, but before you can pursue him your body moves, spinning clockwise and stepping backwards with your right. Only to dodge a beam you hadn't sensed coming, glancing back along it's length to see the Tuffle King is charging towards you. And with his first attack missing he fires a barrage, your body weaving them and closing the distance. Moving far faster than him, landing a flying straight right to his face. Splattering your way straight through his semi-liquid body, splattering him as you flip and land in a slide. Only to kick off the ground and lunge to your left, narrowly dodging a massive, heavy ball on a chain swung from somewhere above you.

    Glancing up, you see it's a weapon wielded by Gas, the heavy ball nearly as large around as you are tall in your largest non-Oozaru form. He then rips it from the ground and spins it clockwise, you planting your feet and catching the massive sphere. The force of the blow sending you sliding back a dozen feet before you can stop it. However, as you do Gas smirks, pulling the chain OUT of the weapon. There is an audible click, your eyes widening as you realize what's happening. And with only a split-second to react you put everything into your Energy Body, making it Unmovable right as the massive ball explodes. Detonating right in your face, your Energy Body eating the worst of it.

    However, using the smokescreen as cover, and clearly hoping the massive detonation had blown away your Energy Body, the Tuffle King comes in again. But you could hear him, turning and meeting his sneak attack with your fist. Stopping him short, only for Gas to dash in through the smoke as well, now wielding a pair of conjured shields on his forearms as he closes in. Shoving the Tuffle back, you turn and cross your arms, bracing yourself just in time to block Gas' double shield strike.

    “Khhh!” you exhale through clenched teeth as the blow forces you back, heels carving twin trenches through the ground as you slide to a stop. Only for the Heeter to THROW both shields at you, one right after the other and you kick off the ground. Leaping into the air, out of the smoke cloud. Only for a dozen or so throwing knives to follow you, and your Energy Body blocks them as you cover your face. The piercing points of the conjured metal sticking into your armor, but not deep enough to pierce your actual body. Grabbing them and tearing them out of you, you then toss the handfuls of throwing knives at the nearest Tuffle Chaya's battling, your focus on the smoke cloud as it fades. Revealing both fighters looking up at you, clearly ready to continue this battle. At the rate things are going, you're going to have a hell of a time overcoming this duo. And you probably can't do it by yourself.

    As you have this thought you glance towards Meloka, the Tuffle she had trapped nowhere to be seen. However, she's fighting almost back-to-back with Granolah of all people, the two protecting the Namekian between them healing Towa as a dozen or so weaker Tuffles are trying to reach them through Granolah's sniping and Meloka's Warding Eyes. Another glance around and you see Chaya's battling the two still, clearly stronger than them but having a hard time pinning them down enough to land a serious blow to them. This isn't good.

    But what do you do now?

    Well? What do you do?
    >Telepathically call Chilli, ask your son to come to your aid and to bring Death to your foes
    > Telepathically call Broly, ask your strongest son to come to your aid and unleash his full, uncontrollable power the Tuffles can't turn against you
    >Call Okira telepathically, that you need her to gather the Dragon Balls while Towa's out and to be careful because Tuffles are seemingly everywhere on this planet
    >Try and turn them against one another, ask Gas if he's so strong why is he taking orders from a weakling like that Tuffle
    >Tap into Lifehunt once more, use that power to try and end the Tuffle King first. If you take him out, hopefully the lesser Tuffles will go with him
    >Tap into your Lifehunt and go on the attack against Gas. He may be stronger than you, but it doesn't matter how strong you are against that power
    >Other(write in)?

    >Telepathically call Chilli, ask your son to come to your aid and to bring Death to your foes
    I'd call Broly, but he's liable to swing on Chaya and Meloka if he goes all out. Here's hoping Chilli can kill that which cannot die.

    These guys are something else. Inviting reinforcements leaves them vulnerable to who knows how many Tuffles on the planet right now. Get that bodyjacking fuckface out of the picture pronto.

    Other anon makes a good point. More allies might be pouring water on a grease fire, so I'll change to this.

    Frieza wouldn't. He'd have had Zarbon or Dodoria pick it up and once they got got Frieza would probably just shrug and vaporize them. Another common Emperor of the Universe W.

    “Dammit. I can't keep this up.” you think to yourself, looking back down at the two foes. Together, they're too much to handle. Between Gas being even stronger than Granolah, and the threat of the Tuffle keeping you from lowering your defense or face possession, you have little choice left. Taking a deep breath in, you sigh out, digging deeper. Reaching into the icy depths of your Berserker Soul's core, tapping into the frigid power at its core. And as you do, you let your Energy Body fade, the icy power forming a chilly cloud around you.

    “You're MINE!” the Tuffle King shouts, dashing up at you full speed. You don't move, letting him approach. However, as he gets close, the moment he swings his hand into the icy cloud around you, you watch as his liquid-like body freezes. His spear hand hitting your closed mouth, shattering into frozen chunks. “Wh-WHAT?!”
    “Let's see just how immortal you REALLY are.” you say, thrusting your fist through his chest. Punching through his liquidy body with ease, his form freezing around your arm. The freezing of his body expanding rapidly, his eyes widening in shock.
    “What? No, this-! This can't be!” he exclaims, reaching down to try and pull himself off your arm. But his own arm freezes as he grabs you, and in only a couple seconds his entire body's frozen. Only for Gas' conjured weapon, a spear this time that he threw up at you to pierce through the frozen Tuffle, directly at your throat. But your Supreme Instinct is one step ahead, your body twisting aside. Letting the spear arc through where you'd been floating, the spear shattering the Tuffle into dozens of frozen chunks that rain down on the ground.

    “Hmph!” Gas exclaims, closing the distance between you and him instantly, a gauntlet conjured around his fist as he swings at you. Lifehunt's frost forming over the gauntlet, but not stopping his swing. Your body reacts, leaning back and letting his swing whistle through the air where you'd been. Only for him to follow up his spin with a left back kick to your chest, arms crossing instinctually and blocking the heavy blow. The force of his kick launches you back, Gas continuing his spin as he conjures another spear in his right hand, launching it at you with the momentum of his spin. The piercing blade flashes through the air, and before you can think to react your body's already moving, catching it with both hands. The weapon freezing solid in your hands, and pulling your hands in different directions the frozen spear shatters, chunks raining down towards the ground below. “You've changed. What is this?”

    “This?” you reply, a cloud of frost ghosting from your mouth with the word. Smirking slightly as you take your stance once more. “Death.”

    And that's it for tonight, enjoying the battle so far? Were you ready for it to be this level of clusterfuck, or are you betting on there still being more to come? Did you expect the Tuffle to have already gotten to Namek, to use their Dragon Balls to empower Gas, to wish for him no doubt to be the “strongest in the universe”? And do you think you actually managed to kill the Tuffle for good, or is he still alive as frozen chunks? All this and more when Saiyan Conqueror Quest resumes, in 11 1/2 hours at noon EST!

    >>6480887
    I was ready for it to be bad, but not "Baby has offspring and already got to Namek" bad. All the more reason to finish strong I guess.
    >>
    >>6480887
    I already know Baby sent an agent to Earth, however, Baba had Devilman smack the crony's ass with the Devilmite beam and one-shot him so it was no biggie.
    >>
    >>6480891
    Finishing strong is a good idea. Especially since you're facing "The Strongest in the Universe" (TM).
    >>6480901
    HA! Although that isn't the only method Earth has to protect itself from him if he had showed up. What happens if you hit an artificial being with an energy drain, like Krillin in this timeline or Androids 19/20 in canon?

    Does it make them have to sneeze but can't so they wind up pulling a face for five minutes while holding up a hand or finger?
