Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:

After arriving on the newest planet to be added to the PTO, Karn discovered that the massive powerlevel was still allive. However, upon arriving to do battle, discovers that it is a Namekian far from home, calling himself the 'Demon King' as he caused destruction in that world's leader's fortress. However, after stopping him a strange machine appeared, delivering a being from another time. Marron, daughter of Amaya and Krillin, Karn's granddaughter. But following her through the tear was a being wearing Amaya's face, Amaya Black. Who Karn easily bested, nearly killing before they were sucked back to their time. Karn then introduced his granddaughter to Chaya and then Meloka, bringing her to his world to show her around. And as we rejoin Karn, you're finishing up your city tour, stopping outside your own home.

“And this is where I live. Used to be on the other side of the planet, but you already heard why we moved here.” you tell her, reaching out with telekinesis and pressing the button. Causing the ramp to begin descending with a hiss, landing on the sand with a solid thunk. “Ready to come in?”
“Uhh, yeah. Sure.” she replies, you nodding to her and leading her inside. Taking the ramp up, only to see a familiar face standing atop the stairs.
“Ah, Haathe. Perfect, I have someone I'd like you to-” you start, only for her to suddenly transform! With no hesitation she instantly takes on her Berserker power, emerald power exploding as she raises a finger, pointing directly at Marron.

“Thou art not of this time.” she says, bristling with power. “Why does thou soul mirror mine lord?”
“Wh-What?!” Marron exclaims, you hearing her step back in shock. From what she'd told you of her story, she'd encountered one of the many Broly who'd grown up without your guidance, who'd gone more wild and became controlled by the Berserker Soul. And it wasn't a pleasant experience, nearly costing her her life.
“Easy, Haathe. She's family, from another timeline.” you say, raising a hand. Which causes her to hesitate, raising a brow and tilting her head as she turns her focus to you. “She's here for our help.”

“Ah, I see. Forgive me.” she replies, sighing out and powering back down. She then turns back to Marron, kneeling before her. “Forgive mine impertinence.”
“I, uhh, yeah. Sure, not a problem.” Marron says, Haathe rising back up to her feet. A moment of awkward silence hangs in the air before you continue speaking where you'd been interrupted.
“Haathe, this is Marron, my granddaughter. Daughter of Chaya, from another time come to seek our help.” you say, then turn to Marron, gesturing to her. “Marron, this is Haathe. She's the one I told you of before, the one I found in the Abyss.”
“So she really did get your powers. Wow.” Marron replies, sounding shocked. “I didn't think you'd look so... Young.”

But, suddenly, this moment is interrupted by-

“Karn! We gotta problem!” Cui's voice suddenly explodes in your mind, shouting out so loud you wince. “We're under attack!”
“What? How?” you reply, not speaking a word aloud and immediately turning from your ship, storming back down the ramp and raising your right hand to your forehead.
“Some bitch showed up and started blasting, my team's already down. We need-!” he says, before suddenly the connection is lost.
“Cui?! CUI!!” you think back, but get no response. And, without any means of reaching him through Instant Transmission, immediately switch gears, reaching out to Raven. “Raven!”

“Already on it.” she replies, opening a portal directly in front of you. Where you find yourself back near the still-smoking ruins of Marron's machine, watching as what looks to be Amaya Black is firing indiscriminately down into the base you'd just saved earlier from the Namekian Piccolo. Without a second's hesitation you charge through, several voices shouting out behind you. However, the moment you do, the figure turns, revealing that it is in fact NOT Amaya Black, not this time. Instead, while wearing mostly similar clothes, this one's wearing a different face.
“What the-?” you say, sliding to a stop, stunned. The figure's tail flicks once in excitement, her eyes glaring at you with the most unsettling expression you've ever felt directed at you. Wearing your wife's smile but with none of the warmth or love. “You-?!”

“There you are. The Karn of this time.” she says, only for your wife to not hesitate. With a shout Meloka ascends directly into Super Saiyan Blue, stepping between you and the clearly not your wife figure. “Tch. Seems I'll have to clear out some of the rifraff before I get you all to myself.”
“Who the hell are you? And what do you think you're doing?” you say, placing your left hand on Meloka's shoulder, giving her a signal to not immediately fly off the handle and attack. You need to know more.
“Don't worry yourself, you need not know anything more.” the fake Meloka says, grin widening. “Because all of you are about to die.”

“Marron. You and the kids go back.” you say, instincts warning you that this battle is going to be dangerous. “Okira, tell King Vegeta what's going on.”
“Of course.” she replies, you sensing everyone else moving back. Except for Marron, who seems frozen.

“Marron! Move!” you shout, clenching your fists and ascending in a burst of Berserker God energy. Your aura explodes up around you, power flaring. Yet this 'Meloka Black', or whatever this presumed Zamasu calls itself still doesn't transform. No, instead... As you transform, her eyes focus on you. And, for just a second, you can feel something. You doubt anyone else senses anything, but you can feel, for just an instant, your own Berserker God energy within that body.

It's not just ANY Berserker God power, but YOURS. That energy flaring in that being's body is your own, flaring up for just a split-second in response to your own transformation. Making you realize that, wherever or WHENever this body was taken from, it was the Meloka from the Battle of Conton City after that fight. Which does bring several questions to mind, but all of them pale in comparison to the surging anger. How DARE this bitch take the body of your family!

But what do you do?

Hey man, when do we EVER fight Meloka and not nearly die?

>>6170272
i hoped we'd learnt not to by now

>>6170272
See, there's two reasons.
First, it's almost always in a sparring context, meaning we're not going all out and trying to take her head off, which allows her to set up some frankly ridiculous shit. In a real fight, it's questionable as to whether or not she'd have the time to pull off any big plays like that.
Second, she's almost NEVER held back against Karn because she thinks she can take whatever she can dish out. She's not entirely wrong, but if Karn is caught off-guard...accidents will happen.

“Go!” you shout, exploding off the ground up at the imposter, Meloka hot on your tail. To which the fake Meloka's smirk widens, not even bothering to take her fighting stance. But instead simply spreads her arms wide, as if inviting you to attack before ascending in a flash. Taking on the same form as Kars, the Rosé form as he'd called it. Her power skyrockets, turning even more divine as it shifts from dark to a bright pink. “HRRRAAAAA!!”
“Yes, that's it, give me all you can bri-!” she starts, before you swing. Not with a single overhand right, but by unleashing your new fighting technique. You feel your power surge, unleashing all of your burning anger. Your limbs become a blur, firing off attacks faster than this Meloka can even react, you seeing only her eyes widen in shock before over a dozen blows land near-simultaneously. Fist fly, knees strike and elbows rock her, your sudden onslaught ragdolling the woman wearing your wife's face. But you don't just use the technique for an instant, no. This creature DARED to take the body of your Meloka from another time, no doubt killing her as well. And you're going to make this bitch PAY! “Guh-?!”

“HRRRAAAAAAA!!” you roar, fully giving in to your anger, feeding your wrath into the Juyo technique. Allowing your body to become a conduit for your anger, a channel through which you wreak havoc upon this monster. For a solid three or four seconds your body is too fast for her to react to, landing dozens of scores of heavy blows that would have put anyone else down for the count. “HAAAAAAAAAAA!!”

However, suddenly, she makes direct eye contact as you unleash your attack, that same confident smirk returning. Immediately your every instinct warns you to get back, to get away, that you're in terrible, immediate danger. But before you can move yourself, your wife shouts at you.

“MOVE!” she bellows, hitting you under your left arm in the ribs, sending you flying off to your right. As she does, you see the other Meloka raising her right hand with a blazing Ki Blade active, your wife blocking it with her crossed azure blades. Twisting with the swing, sliding up the blade then spinning off, firing a right backhanded slash at the other Meloka's head. Who leans back, but you see the blade graze her cheek. Drawing a thin line of blood, making her own mark as well. Only for the fake Meloka to immediately raise her left and fire an ENORMOUS ball of energy, catching your wife and sending her flying straight up into the air.
“MELOKA!” you shout, only for the pretender to turn her focus back on you. Grinning evilly, she draws her blade to her right side, then begins swinging it back and forth. Firing hundreds of Ki Needles directly at you!

>>6170292
“Tch! BARRIER!” you shout, throwing your arms wide and activating your spherical armor. Only for the storm of needles to pierce directly through it without stopping, more than a dozen striking you in the arms, chest and legs. “Gaaah!?”

And with a flourish, raising the blade overhead and pointing it at you, left hand pointed towards you and left knee raised as all the blades begin to glow then detonate. Everything is consumed by the blast, by fire and pain as everything goes dark. That is, until you suddenly feel the ground beneath your back. Knocking you back to full consciousness, eyes snapping open to see this dark-gi'd Meloka standing over you. Looking almost... Disappointed.

“A pity. I was expecting so much more from you.” she says, transforming her blade into a ball of ki in her right hand, leveling it directly at your head. “Any final words?”
“Die.” YOUR Meloka says, teleporting behind this Meloka Black and driving both blades directly through her spine. One azure blade sprouts out in her neck, just below her chin and the other just below her chest, presumably just under her breastbone. Then with a savage motion tears both blades free in a spray of blood, the imposter sent flying over your head as Meloka kicked off her back to help tear her energy free. Immediately deactivating her weapons your wife kneels down to check on you, but you reach out towards her with your right. Realizing your intentions she takes your hand and forces herself back up, helping haul you back upright as well. “You okay?”

“I'll live.” you reply, strength dropping a little as your blood spatters the ground. None of the Ki Needles had pierced too deep, not causing any serious, life-threatening wounds. But enough to make moving hurt, grunting as you stagger back onto your feet. Only to hear clapping from behind you, Meloka's eyes going wide and your blood running cold. Turning, heart full of dread, you see the other Meloka is not only still standing, facing the two of you. But her injuries are actively regenerating. Her pink aura, sparkling with stars the same as Future Chaya's Apex aura's own is focused around her injuries, quickly healing all the damage your wife's attack did. You realizing immediately that this battle isn't over.

“Well well, I hadn't expected much of you. But this is a surprise.” the other Meloka says, lowering her hands and once more taking her wide-open 'stance'. “I haven't fought you both together in years, this may actually be some fun.”

“Shit, a regenerator.” you think to yourself, then reach out telepathically to your Meloka. “Nice try hun.”
“Well, least now we know.” she answers, but you can feel her doubts as well. This being is clearly beyond anything you've faced before, even at this level you feel she's nearly on par with Future Chaya. Even at full power, the two of you together are still outmatched in terms of raw power. To beat her, you're going to need something more. A plan. And, as you have the thought, you notice the same dark wormhole in the air once more. Seems she somehow reopened that path through time Marron's machine and then Amaya Black used to enter your own timeline. If you can get her back into it, it'll probably take her back to Marron's time.

Well? What do you do?

To be fair, what we're fighting is a talentless homework copier with babymode regen turned on. I can guarantee that without the regen, this would've fucked up black's shit. Just wait until DDF gets its jaws on them.

I mean that would kinda drain the dramatic tension of the arc if we killed her in the first fight. reminds me of that time we easily killed a boss so GD had Fu bring in someone else to fight.

>>6170407
and then we rolled a Nat 1 and got insta-fucked. that reminds me we still need to kick him in the dick for that.

>>6170408
Unfortunately Fu is a massive pussy and would never allow himself to come to blows with Karn without having his transformation nullifier active.
I'm sure there's ways around it, but in-character I don't think Karn cares enough to pursue spanking the shit out of Fu like that.

“We've got one shot at this. I'll take the lead, find an opening and take her head off.” you think to your wife, clenching your fists and blazing your aura up around you once more. “If we can send her through that wormhole, even in pieces, it should close.”
“Understood.” your wife replies, Meloka Black smirking at you both.
“Finished making your plan of attack?” she asks, grin widening. “Very well. Come, mortals, and show me the limits of your kind.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qbb5KHYMig

“HRRAAAAAAA!!” you roar, crouching then exploding off the ground directly at Meloka Black. Who, as you approach, this time takes a fighting stance resembling Meloka's own. You close the distance, letting your rage flare as you once more use your Juyo technique. However, this time, you not only unleash the form, but fully release all restraints on your Berserker God power as well. Fully unleashing the power of the Berserker Soul once more. “GWRRRRRAAAAAAAAA!!”
“What?!” Meloka Black exclaims, shocked as you unleash your power once more. Once again she is unable to withstand your onslaught, despite her best attempts takes three to four blows for every one she can block. Her expression of smug confidence disappearing completely, replaced with a grimace of discomfort. “Tch! Grrrr! HRRAAAAAAAA!!”

With a roar she fires off an Explosive Wave, knocking you back off of her. But immediately you close right back in the moment her energy starts to wane, launching right back into your Juyo attack. Letting your lust for battle, your Berserker Soul's rage, and your desire to crush this body snatcher flow through you. Again Meloka Black struggles to keep you off of her, and once more you deliver far more punishment than she can block. As you attack with absolutely every ounce of power you've got, feeling your body using one hundred percent of what it can physically unleash, you also feel your strength waning. Between full power Berserker God and your blood loss, only worsened by your heart rate skyrocketing from this technique, you can't keep this up nearly as long as you practiced. But you're doing it, you're keeping her held down! Just a little more, just a little more!

“That's enough.” Meloka Black then says, Rosé aura blazing as she suddenly catches both your fists in her hands. “You're not bad, but I was expecting a... Well... Challenge. That's too bad. But before you die, I'll show you just how outclassed you really are.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qrer4hJYp4U&t=29s

“BEHOLD! True divine justice given form!” she exclaims, Rosé aura blazing. She doesn't let you go, clasping down on your fists and squeezing so tight you feel your joints groaning as her power suddenly soars. Her aura bursts forth, blowing your Berserker aura back completely away from you as she transforms even further. You watch as her eyes shift from flat grey to a more menacing red and black, getting that familiar smirk back on her face and finally letting you go, the sheer density of her power blasting you back from her. Her pink hair begins to expand and grow down her back, Meloka Black lowering her arms down by her sides, palms towards you as her power grows. You've never felt divine power like this, even when Beerus started taking you and Meloka seriously years ago, even HE didn't feel this powerful. You suddenly feel very, very small and out of your depth. “This is the true power of my Rosé form. Is it not beautiful?”

You're unable to act, to do nothing more than stare in shock at her sheer power. This, this is impossible. She was on par with Future Chaya BEFORE, but now? You doubt even her AND Ace could take her down like this. But you have to do this, here and now. No matter what.

“Tch. No choice, you ready partner?” you ask, summoning forth your Stand. Divine Dragon Force appears, not with a triumphant roar of challenge but a low, threatening growl, clearly not confident in victory either.
“Keep her right there, five seconds!” your wife thinks to you. And while you're not sure what she's planning, you put your complete faith in your wife. So, without hesitation you roar, drawing upon everything you've got and explode forward one final time. Right fist drawn back, Berserker God aura blazing wildly as you close in once more.
“Even hopelessly outmatched, you still fight. Subarashii.” this Rosé warrior says, throwing in a word you don't understand as she once again takes that wide-open stance. “Come to me. Come to your death.”

“HRRRAAAAAAA!!” you roar, swinging your right with everything you've got.
“GRRRAAAAAAA!!” Divine Dragon Force bellows, eyes blazing with the power of the Berserker Soul.

“Wh-What?!” you say, completely shocked. Realizing that this won't work, you switch tactics, opening your right and lacing your fingers through her own while swinging with your left, Meloka Black catching that hand as well. “Tch!”
“Well, if you are really just going to deliver yourself to me, then I shan't look this gift horse too deep in the mouth.” she replies, eyes glowing with pinpoints of light. “Farewell, Karn.”

“NOW!” you shout as you condense your ki, forming your most Unmovable Energy Body yet. Condensing down ALL of your ki, locking not only you in place, but by extension Meloka Black. Whose eyes widen, realization dawning just a split-second too late. She forgot to pay attention to what your wife was doing. Right as she's about to turn her head, to presumably fire her attack at your wife instead of you, suddenly, from somewhere off to your left she fires a beam. One that's the tightest, compact spiral of energy you've ever seen, the beam the size of Meloka Black's forearm piercing straight through Meloka Black's aura. Directly into her neck and straight through, tearing her head almost completely off but for a bit of skin on the front. The attack punched straight through the spine, completely taking her out.

“NOW!” you shout, Divine Dragon Force already on the move as the skin tears, the weight of the hair pulling the head down behind her body's back.
“GWROOOOAAAAAR!!” your Stand bellows, snaking from your arm directly towards the exposed wound. Trying to dive into the opening to enter her body and destroy it from the inside out. But just as your Stand is about to, the Rosé aura blazes around the wound, repelling Divine Dragon Force. Forming a barrier even it can't punch through. “GRRRRAAAAAAA!!”

“Forget it, grab the head!” you shout to your Stand as you deactivate your Energy Body, Divine Dragon Force pulling back. Meloka Black's body, despite already attempting to regenerate from the damage finally falls limp. You sling her body up overhead in a circle, whipping and tossing it towards the large wormhole that's already seemingly doubled in size since you'd first noticed it. As you do, Divine Dragon Force goes to grab the head but stops, you looking from the portal down to it. Only to see the oddest thing. The head, severed from the body begins disappearing as if hit with the Destroyer's power of Hakai. Dissolving into motes of light momentarily before vanishing completely, no traces of its energy left behind. The body strikes the wormhole, both vanishing in a flash of light. And, just like that, it's over. Meloka Black is gone.

Well? What now?
>Power down and telepathically call Maza, get him to get the city's response team mobilized out here asap. These people are now PTO citizens as well and need help
>Immediately call Towa and tell her you need her help, that you have a time wormhole that needs shut before anything else comes through

Immediately call Towa and tell her you need her help, that you have a time wormhole that needs shut before anything else comes through wins it. Unanimously once more. You guys are surprisingly in sync today, either my options aren't really options or you all just really agree on the course this plays out, writing.

>>6170449
it is kinda weird now that you mention it. Means less timeline splitting, we should keep the ball rolling

>>6170449
I mean, the moment I saw that Meloka Black showed up, I knew we couldn't screw around. I'm just glad everyone else is on the same page of "fuck her shit up immediately". But the fact that she anticipated DDF and even resisted it a little worries me greatly. We need more power, FAST.

>>6170449
I mean, to me it feels like the best call. The sooner we don't have to worry about another bodysnatcher from another timeline (for now), the sooner we can actually unfuck the current mess.

>>6170453
But did she even SEE DDF? Or did she just stop both it and you without effort?

>>6170454
I'm all for wiping Zamasu out over every plane of existence when all is said and done. That little twerp is going to WISH he never had "ningen" in his personal dictionary.
>>6170459
Most likely not, but that doesn't exactly solve the problem...

Hey wait a minute, shouldn't our demon seal have been going off when all these blacks started pouring into our timeline? They're hostile time travelers, aren't they?

>>6170449
We can call backup for the relief efforts AFTER we make sure the body snatcher cant come back.

>>6170472
It has ever since Marron appeared, you couldn't feel it change noticeably with a second being from a different timeline.

>>6170480
and we just...didn't use it?

>>6170485
No one wrote in to activate it. IC you didn't think of it, having it be activate-able for so long, when it mattered you didn't remember it. One of the downsides of Karn's legendary pain tolerance.

>>6170485
Consider the fact that had we popped the Seal, we would have have maybe a few minutes to get shit done before we collapsed. Against a nigh-immortal with power that exceeds Future Chaya's, it could very well have happened had we not rolled double crits.

>>6170488
>>6170490
both fair points. I keep forgetting about that nasty ki drain.

>>6170494
The ki drain is secondary to the fact that wielding the Divine power of the Seal while transformed as a Berserker quite literally threatens to rip our body apart.

>>6170496
I thought the power from the time seal was dark energy or demon Ki not divine.

But while the immediate threat is gone, you know this problem isn't over. Not only is Meloka Black still probably fine, you'd thought it over before after you'd sent Amaya Black back through her own portal. If every Zamasu who snatched a body can come back through the same way Marron did, you need to shut this down immediately. And to do that, you know only one person you can call on.

“Towa, need your help out here. Have a time space hole Zamasu keep coming through, need your help shutting it.” you think to Towa, feeling her surprise through the link.
“You have a WHAT?” she exclaims, you explaining to her what happened earlier as well as what you'd just seen. “On my way, five seconds.”

And with that she ends the link, her worry you felt just before it closed worrying you. Causing you to turn, focusing your attention on the air where the wormhole HAD been.

“Karn? What is it?” your wife calls, flying over to you. Not powering down either, following your lead and staying in her Super Saiyan Blue form. “Everything okay?”
“Towa was worried.” you reply, glancing to your wife. Whose eyes widen, then her brows furrow in understanding. Immediately your wife summons out a couple score of her Warding Eyes, setting them all around the space where the wormhole had been. However, as she does, Marron rushes out towards you both.
“You both were amazing.” she exclaims, sounding shocked. “You beat her so easily!”

“She's not done.” you reply, Marron stopping mid-breath. “She could regenerate from damage. There's no way that killed her. She's simply been forced back to your timeline, where she presumably came from too.”
“Oh...” Marron replies, even her voice deflating as her hope is crushed. But then from the portal back behind you, rushes another familiar power. You and Meloka turn, your own eyes widening as you see Towa rushing towards you three. Already transformed into her Demon Goddess form, dark power blazing up around her.

“Everyone get back. I'll send her back and close this portal.” Towa says, leveling the deity-slaying spear Godsend at Marron. “This won't take long.”

“Hold on, Marron can't go back yet.” you say, putting an arm between your alternate timeline granddaughter and the former Demon Princess. Towa raises a brow at your declaration, but doesn't immediately attack. Clearly waiting for an explanation, which you start to give. Gesturing to her first, explaining Marron and her machine that you point out, then gesture up to the space where the wormhole was, now surrounded by your wife's energy and how not only did Amaya Black follow her through, but now an obscenely powerful Meloka Black has as well.

“Hold on. You're saying she created a wormhole to travel here through? The Time Ring allowed this 'Amaya Black' to follow Marron, as the tear through spacetime was recent. But after that one was sent back, it should have closed. If this other being can FORCE open spacetime, this is serious. I'll have to do far more than close a wormhole.”
“But can you keep them out? Even as obscenely powerful as she was?” you ask, Towa's brow raising further. You explain how strong she felt, matching Future Chaya's Apex form with her Rosé power. And how she further transformed, becoming even stronger than anyone else you've ever fought.
“I'll do what I can.” Towa replies, you nodding as she turns to Meloka. “Clear me a path, but don't drop them. Something that powerful can probably come back through, since I'm guessing you've not managed to kill it. And we'll need every edge we can get to win.”

“Understood.” Meloka answers, moving her orbs out of the way as Towa flies up, sitting on the spear as her hands start weaving complex patterns in the air. While she works, you can feel Marron's questioning gaze.
“That is Towa. She's from another timeline too, much like you. But she has now become a permanent part of this time.” you say, Marron nodding but looking up to Towa, watching in awe as she weaves her magic. You watch as her seal appears, hovering in space shrouded by her dark Demon God energy as Towa sighs, powering back down.
“There. That should hopefully stop them from coming back into this time.” Towa says, turning and looking down to you all. “I can't close an already-closed hole, but I can keep it from being reopened. At least, until you're ready to go after them for a rematch.”

“Thanks Towa.” you answer, Towa smirking as she drops down to you. Floating down directly in front of you, and with a small smirk leans in, wrapping her arms around your neck, kissing you. You can feel Meloka's brow twitching, but as she pulls back with a grin you see Marron's expression of absolute confusion. Looking from her to Towa, you see Towa's amusement at having sown a bit of confusion.
“Later.” she says with a flirty wink, vanishing into thin air. Leaving you to explain things alone.

As Towa vanishes, Marron turns a questioning look to you, but you shake your head.

“Later. We have wounded on the field and soldiers mia. These people need help, and I need to locate Cui's team. We need to move.” you say, expanding your ki sense as you look for the largest energies on this planet as you turn to the portal, which Raven has left open. Immediately you find several of the members of Cui's team, each thousands of thousands of times stronger than the beings of this world, whose average is no larger than single digits. “Let's go people, move.”
“Yes sir!” your youngest four say, all firing off salutes before flying back through, then immediately accelerating as they no longer feel New Salda's gravity. The children all shoot off like rockets, diving down over the ledge to help. Haathe, however nods, turning and running off towards the city at a blinding sprint away from the portal. No doubt to gather others to help as well.

“What should I do?” Marron asks you, looking uncertain. So, you turn to her, placing your hand on her shoulder.
“Do what you think is best to help them.” you say, then take off. Flying not towards the nearest of who you presume to be Cui's squad, but to the one whose power is dropping the fastest. Their power is coming from within the inside of what seems to be the 'main' structure, flying through the opening one of Meloka Black's attacks had made to find a scene of destruction. What was at one point some sort of meeting room is is ruins, a massive crater in the middle of the room with the bottom blown out, the blast having continued further down into the structure before detonating. Inside, in the ruins you see the body of one of Cui's people, the lime green skinned member of Appule's race laying there dead. Several others wearing uniforms you don't recognize are also dead or destroyed, oil and blood mixing in the floor.

Then, near the far wall, leaned against a door you find them. A dark green-skinned reptillian being, armor and helmet on his left side blasted to smithereens, arm and leg damaged too badly for him to move sits there, leaning against the door, presumably the elevator deeper into the building by it's design. As your feet hit the ground he looks up, still swinging his right arm's cannon up towards you. Arm slightly trembling, but his one good yellow eye focuses on you.

“G-General Karn?” he mutters, eye going wide as he then sighs out, letting his arm drop. “I take it. That bitch. Is dead?”
“No, but she's gone for now. Couldn't put her down for good this time.” you reply, rushing over and kneeling by him, pressing your right hand to his injured side. The man winces as you touch him, but then relaxes with a sigh as he feels your ki inundating his form. “What's your name and rank?”

“Blueberry. Cui's second.” he replies, coughing up a bit of blood. “Is he-?”
“Everyone else is still alive and in better shape than you soldier, I'm going after them next.” your reply, gesturing behind you with one hand. “So far only one casualty of ours.”
“Tapua. A good man.” he says, sighing out. “I'll tell his family personally.”
“What happened here? Short version.” you say, Blueberry telling you how he'd been here in a meeting with an old man, the one he presumed leader from how the others all treated him. But he was also presumably a robot like the orange gi'd two and the triclops, they couldn't get any reading whatsoever on any powerlevel when the meeting was interrupted. He and the rest of Cui's team as well as the other robots, aside from the scarred one who had tried to stop the blast and was sent down and down, his status unknown had all tried to engage Meloka Black, only to all be swatted away like flies. As he talks his voice becomes firmer, eye focusing better as his mind starts working more.

“Can you move?” you ask him, Blueberry nodding to you.
“Now I can. At least 'till the blood loss gets me.” he replies, hovering up to stand on his one good leg, still dripping blood. “Cui. He an' the boys, they tried to fight her. But-”
“Good. Head back to where I confronted the Namekian and the OTHER time traveler earlier, there's a portal there back to New Salda. More help should be coming through shortly.” you say, the man nodding and taking off without another word. You sweep the room one more time, not seeing either Marron's could-be father in this time nor the triclops. But as you think of them, you feel another powerlevel dropping and leave the thought alone, raising your right hand to your forehead.

With a thought teleport out of the building, going all the way down into the craterous construction of this fortress, where a familiar figure is left hanging in a crater in the rocky cliff face. Unconscious, but as you fly closer still breathing. If a bit shallowly.

“He's okay.” you think to yourself, reaching out and placing a hand on Cui's bleeding chest, infusing him with your power as well. Causing him to gasp awake after a second, eyes wild and disoriented, flailing weakly against your for a second. But then his brain starts working, he blinks a couple times then finally recognizes you.
“Karn?” he asks, sounding equal parts disbelief and relief. “Is-?”
“One casualty, one wounded and on way to evac, two are more stable than you.” you tell him, giving him his team's status. Something you know you'd want in his condition. “Tapua was kia inside the main building, where you were attacked.”

“I see. Thank you, General. But I have to check on Commander Gero.” Cui says, pulling himself out of the crater. However, you then place your hand on his chest with your right, gesturing with your thumb over your left shoulder to where you sense Maza, Caulifla, and a dozen others approaching the portal.
“First, get yourself patched up. Regroup with your people, get yourselves healed up, then we can make more progress on fixing things here.” you say, only to suddenly feel a wave of something wash over you. Making the hair on the back of your neck stand up, Divine Dragon Force materializing around your right arm. Turning, you watch with shock as the Red Ribbon base, seemingly of its own accord, start to repair itself. The damaged buildings reassemble themselves, as does the damaged rail system, the fires extinquish themselves, and in only moments you see the fortress as it presumably was before the 'demon king' Namekian Piccolo attacked.

“Right. Thank you again, General.” Cui says, but before he can fly off, you sense two beings flying towards you. Cui sees them his eyes widening and slightly watering as he recognizes them as you turn around. “Banan! Sui!”
“Cui! General Karn!” the purple-skinned reptilian one shouts, only to be interuppted by the other.
“Did you do it, General?” he asks, the mustachio'd, blue-skinned alien asks. “Did you take that one bitch down?”

“She got away, but Meloka bled her for it.” you reply, the two sharing a worried glance. Clearly not getting the answer they were hoping for. “Reindevou with the remainder of your squad, Blueberry atop the plateau for aid, then we can further help the people here. They ARE our people now, aren't they?”
“Yes sir, this world is PTO territory. Hell of a start to it though.” Cui says, looking out over the destruction a moment before turning back to you. “Will that crazy powerful bitch return?”

Well? What do you tell them?

“She will probably try, but I've already taken precautions to prevent this.” you tell him, powering back down with a sigh. Body shrinking back to normal size, you feel a little tired, a little weary from the blood loss, but you're still doing relatively fine. “Should give me time enough to train, to prepare and be ready for the rematch when I go back with my granddaughter into that timeline.”
“Oh, I see.” he responds, meeting your gaze. Then, after a moment smirks, nodding to you. “Well, I'm sure you can take her. After all, this isn't the first time you've had to train to take back someone who attacked us. Show her what happens to someone who fails to take you down the first time, like that Covvie bastard the Arbiter.”

“Hah. Yeah, I'll do that. Now, one last thing before you go: where did the short bald one go?” you ask them, Cui immediately pointing down towards the city. You turn, looking down the direction he points until you think you see a hint of orange. You then turn back, addressing them all. “That will be all. Now go on, all of you. Get healed up.”

Cui and his other two remaining subordinates salute you, which you return. You all lowering your arms together before the three of them fly off. You then turn your attention back to the city, dashing off towards where you'd seen the orange. Flying over, you slow down on the approach, only to see a bit of orange gi has been merged with a light pole. Presumably one 'fixed' by Okira and Imagine Dragon's powers, but that didn't take the torn bit of gi off. Leaving the back logo hanging there, swaying in the breeze. It is a mostly-symmetrical pattern, with a pair of cross'd boxes bisected vertically by a line, the top hooking down to the left and the bottom hook turning up and right at a wider angle. Something about the symbol stops you in your tracks, you can't read it, yet the symbol itself exudes power. But more than any raw strength, it seems to exude a sort of... Longevity. That, no matter what happens, it will endure.

“DAD!!” you hear Marron suddenly shout, looking down from it and seeing your granddaughter a couple dozen yards away, kneeling by someone. Fearing the worst, you rush over, seeing where he'd fallen. Prepared to take her away from the sight, only to see he's... Well, OKAY isn't the right word, but surprisingly talking despite the shape he's in. “Oh gods, y-you're....”
“Hey now, I know this doesn't look good. But I've come back from worse. Believe it or not.” he says, chuckling a bit. Which, for a guy who lost both arms, torso reduced to little more than a spine and several unidentifiable chunks of metal connected by smoldering wires all attached to a relatively undamaged lower body, sounds surprisingly non-phased. “Thanks to being an android, Bulma and Gero'll have be back at one hundred percent in a day or two, tops. Especially since the city's somehow been restored. I take it that was somehow or other your doing?”

“My youngest, Okira. She can fix damage to non-living things with her powers.” you say, the man nodding once. And despite the damage to his head, leaving metal exposed where flesh should have been, you wonder just how much of him is still alive? And, as if sensing your question, he chuckles and speaks up.

“Everything inside the ol' chrome dome's still me. That and some of my organs, if they survived that blast. Thought I could absorb it all, didn't know she could detonate it even AFTER I'd already absorbed it into me.” he says, your eyes going wide in shock. “Heh. Guess you crazy aliens all have terrifying powers, not just you guys.”
“Like Marron, she wasn't from this timeline. But not from hers, either.” you reply, unsure of how much you want to say. But, before you can ponder it further, he speaks up.

“Much as I'd like to talk, I have to get back, quick. I've only got about a minute of emergency power left before everything starts to shut down.” he says, you sensing a deep worry. Leaving you to ponder for an instant if he loses power, how long would his brain last?
“I'll take you.” Marron then says without hesitation, instantly going into a very competent carry, even making sure to support all the things still wired to his spine with her arms too as she holds him. “Just tell me which way to go.”
“Back into HQ, the main building. We need to get to the sub-basement, quick. Bulma's been down there since Piccolo first started attacking, she probably still hasn't left.”

“Bulma....” Marron says, lost in her thoughts a moment. Before you gently tap her on the back, causing her to snap out of it. “R-Right, lead the way!”

Marron takes to the air, you watching as she goes. Flying past the impromptu flagpole flying his symbol once more. And as they go, you wonder just how much that man's been through, to still be smiling after all that? Perhaps you need to find a symbol like that as well, one you can wear proudly as well? But as you watch them go, you take to the air as well, flying back towards the portal. This day's been eventful so far, but something tells you it's far from over. And you need to be ready for whatever comes next, as at this point, it could be anything.

Calling it a little short tonight, still not feeling a hundred percent. Going to try and get a reasonable night's sleep before coming back to it tomorrow. But enough about me, what do you all think? Enjoy this episode so far, and coming face-to-face with possibly the strongest threat of this arc? Do you think you've got what it takes to beat her, or will it take something more? Curious what else is ALSO going on at the same time this is, the events of the other two options you COULD have been a part of instead of this? What urgent news King Vegeta IV got, and how it could affect your world? Perhaps you'll find out when this episode continues just over 24 hours from now at noon EST! See you all then!
>>6170622
True. Man's not a quitter, and braver than most. Even the Saiyans would respect his bravery.
We'll see. After all, where was she as this all went down? She was there as you went through the portal and confronted Meloka Black, but you've not seen what she's been up to since. She was smart enough to not try anything yet, but had Meloka's attack failed, she was on the brink of activating Blue Kaio-Ken.

Come to think of it, maybe Karn should get a back tattoo instead. Since it seems he loses his shirt all the time.

>>6170621
Damn, Yamcha got FUCKED UP. Glad to see he's still...I was gonna say in one piece but uhhh....I was GONNA say "alive" but uhmm...I'm glad he didn't bite it. This is a very, very interesting Earth, and I get the feeling we haven't even scratched the surface of secrets and lore on this particular planet. Just what have they been up to while we've been off conquering the stars and smiting our enemies across space and time?

Also, Total Zamasu Death in every timeline when? He does not deserve even a moment of peace.

>>6170635
Ha, but probably not. Others may have them, but if Karn didn't get one as a soldier in his 20s, he probably won't get one as a grandfather in his 40s.
>>6170637
You mean Krillin? We have no idea what shape Yamcha's in, if he's even still alive or if he bit the dust in the opening attack trying to save everyone else from that big blast.
Well, good news is the only Zamasu left outside the most recent time clusters are already either a member of the Legion or have been executed for failure to comply. Which means there are less Zamasu than the total branches on your timeline already.

>>6170641
>Others may have them, but if Karn didn't get one as a soldier in his 20s, he probably won't get one as a grandfather in his 40s.
Just for that I am gonna get a tattoo of a silly smiling face pair of orbs when I am 90.

>>6170628
Yeah, it was fun. Meloka doing a crit Makankosappo on Black is the highlight, wish Piccolo was there to see it...
Man, this arc has been a long time coming. I wonder what thread had the first reference to Meloka Black, we should put a pin on that.

>>6170641
oh fuck I can't read. Damn, our son-in-law got FUCKED UP. Anyway;
>Well, good news is the only Zamasu left outside the most recent time clusters are already either a member of the Legion or have been executed for failure to comply. Which means there are less Zamasu than the total branches on your timeline already.

“For Ki Needles, these didn't pierce that deep.” Caulifla says to you as she looks you over before doing her healing, checking your injuries more closely than usual. “Seems that something stopped them, or at least slowed them down. Did you have your Energy Body up when they hit?”
“No. Did have my Barrier, but I thought they just cut right through it. Seems the shield helped, at least a little.” you answer, your daughter nodding before quickly muttering a prayer, ringing her chime and unleashing another wave of icy healing magic. It makes you shiver as it engulfs you, your daughter's Darkmoon magic healing you up almost instantaneously. “Thanks kiddo. If we find any more wounded, we'll bring them to you.”

“Of course. But, Dad...” she says, voice trailing off as if uncertain. Stopping you mid-rise, locking eyes with your daughter's own. Seeing the worry and hesitation there.
“What is it?” you ask, seeing her eyes flick up to the large demonic energy sphere, where Towa's almost-X symbol still burns in the air.
“Do you think that that can REALLY keep something as powerful as Chaya described out?” she asks, you feeling her apprehension at staying so near to where a powerful being can presumably come through. So you reach out, placing your hand on your kneeling daughter's shoulder.

“I trust her. If she didn't think it would hold, she'd still be weaving more magic around it.” you reply, your response causing Cauli to sigh in relief. She then stands, taking your hand and helping you up as well. The two of you share a nod, you then looking back out over the base. In the minutes since you'd flown back up, staying back until your daughter dealt with the urgent cases Meloka and Chaya had gathered from the injured civilians from the base below, order had been restored. And, while bustling with activity, there isn't the panic and chaos present of a civilian city. No, this place, these people are military. Not powerful, not in the grand scheme of the universe, but they do have discipline. And as you ponder your next move, suddenly you see a pair of figures fly out of the main building. Both heading directly up to where you all are.

“Wonder who this could be?” you wonder to yourself, preparing yourself mentally to explain what happened once more. But, as the figures draw closer, you notice something. The larger figure is following the smaller, older-looking one. And as both get close, you hear one of Cui's men mutter something about 'Gero'. Which can only mean one thing: the ruler of this world approaches.

Well? How do you want to handle this, GENERAL Karn?

“I'll handle this.” you say, dusting yourself off as the duo approaches.
“Hold on Dad, here.” Caulifla says, pointing a finger at you. Firing her Clothes Beam, she magics up another suit, this one undamaged around you. “There.”
“Thanks kiddo.” you say, Cauli smiling as you both share a nod. You then turn back to the approaching duo, who land a dozen feet from all of you as you take a steadying breath. The pair are quite the duo, one a small, elderly-seeming man with an odd, cylindrical black hat. Paired with his strange manner of dress, the white-haired being with the rather nice mustache carries himself as someone of import. Wordlessly his eyes scan you all, eventually settling on you. But the other is a far more intimidating presence, taller even than you. He probably stands on par with Nappa, just a broad-shouldered as well. Wearing unusual green and black clothes and with a mostly shaved head aside from a red mohawk, this one is clearly a warrior. Both beings have the red double triangles pointing at each other logo with the white “R” on each half, another symbol. One that looks far more military than the other's.

“So. I take it the situation has been resolved?” the shorter being asks, not breaking eye contact.
“Yes. Wherever they're from, they've been sent back. And the tear through spacetime that allowed her to invade your planet has been sealed. General Karn.” you say, holding out your right hand to him.
“Doctor Gero.” the much shorter, elderly man says, taking your hand in his own. As he does, for a split-second you also see the energy absorbers in his hands too, the same ones in those other two androids. Seems this one isn't entirely human either, just like the massive one behind him. “I must say, your response time is impressive. I had my doubts, General, about placing the care of my world under your emperor. I had expected attacks from their enemies, although not this... Immediately.”

“Sorry for the trouble, but that one's not one of the empire's enemies. That one was looking for me personally.” you reply, the old man's eyes narrowing in suspicion. “That one isn't even from this timeline.”
“What do you mean, this timeline?” Dr. Gero asks pointedly. But, before you can speak up, Okira does.
“How familiar you are with the concept of time travel, doctor?” she asks, you both turning to see Okira laying down, her voice tired. No doubt wiped out from the exertion of fixing all the damage the now two attacks on this place have caused. But also sounding almost eager to speak with this man.

For a few moments the two trade around words and phrases that you've never even heard of before, things that almost sound like words you know. And while you have no idea what they're talking about, you know Okira's well-read enough thanks to her extensive education to be able to better-relate to other highly-educated beings.

“Good enough. It has been proven that our universe at large, and presumably the other eleven as well all operate on the multiverse theory. That vessel there allowed Marron earlier to slip from her own timeline into our own, albeit accidentally. Seems her timeline is on a more distant branch, and the damage from the vessel caused it to end up here instead of its intended destination. But its passage caused a tear through spacetime, one those others were able to 'follow through'. Thankfully it has been magically sealed, preventing further access.”
“I see. You would not take offense, were I to take... Additional precautions? Construct a barrier around this place, construct additional defenses to keep others out to prevent tampering?” he asks, turning back to you. “Last thing either of us want, it seems, is another 'visitor' showing up to cause more problems.”

“That sounds like an excellent idea. Anything to slow them down and give everyone more time to react would be great.” you tell him, then in a more caring tone add. “What's the damage? Your people make it out okay?”
“Minimal casualties. Unfortunately, most of the casualties were the teams trying to assess and repair the damage Piccolo caused.” he says, then his tone shifts as well. “How did you do that? It was as if the two battles never happened, all the damage was undone. Except for the people, but it seems you have even that under control as well somehow. What sort of technology do you have access to to be able to do such things?”

Well? How do you answer him?

“Not technology, at least this time. People. Doctor, I'd like you to meet two of my daughters. Okira, who you've already been speaking with. And Caulifla.” you say, gesturing to each of your children in turn. “They were the ones to repair the damage and help as many people as we could here.”
“Doctor.” Okira nods, Gero nodding back to her, then he turns his focus on Caulifla. Looking up and up her, getting to her face.
“Hello, Doctor. Yes, I'm Caulifla. The one responsible for healing your people.” she says, and surprisingly giving him a proper Saiyan salute. “I'm sorry for the loss of those I couldn't save.”

“Do not be sorry, girl. You saved dozens of lives, just that I personally witnessed. The Red Ribbon Army is in your debt.” he tells her, then turns back to Okira who is still laying on the ground, resting propped up against something you can't quite make out. “And yours as well, presuming you are the one who saved us millions in repairs?”
“We're the ones who fixed it.” she says, raising a hand and gesturing to her Stand, Imagine Dragon. Who nods its head, but Gero simply blinks once. Clearly not seeing it, your daughter understanding just a moment. “My Stand and I. It exists on a specific frequency only certain beings can see.”

“Scanning...” Gero says, you hearing something whrring and clicking beneath his large cylindrical hat, pale blue eyes shifting colors for a few seconds. “What's this? A dragon?”
“You can see me?” Imagine Dragon asks, sounding shocked. Okira also looks shocked, but from Gero's lack of reaction seems he still can't HEAR it. But the fact he can see it is still incredible. “Impressive. Tell him that's impressive.”
“Imagine Dragons says that if you can now see him, that's impressive.” your youngest says, Gero blinking again. Eyes returning to their normal pale, icy blue.

“If beings can physically exist on this spectrum, I shill have to update my security.” Gero says simply, then nods to her. “Thank you both for your efforts as well, the Red Ribbon Army thanks you.”
“You're welcome.” Okira replies, nodding. But then her eyes widen, reaching into her right glove. Pulling out a small capsule, holding it in the palm of her left hand. “Just a moment. You ready?”
“Ready.” replies Imagine Dragon, then as one they speak.

“THE ONE CAPSULE IN OKIRA'S LEFT HAND BECOMES TWO.” they say in perfect sync, the capsule splitting into a pair.
“WHAT?!” Gero exclaims in shock, taking a surprised step back as Okira then returns the one back into her sleeve, yawning before pushing herself up to her feet. “Duplication?”

“Small gift from us.” she says, holding out the capsule to him. “It's an emergency healing capsule. Not sure if it'll work on non, you know, robot people, but it will help people in an emergency. Rapidly-accelerated healing. Can't quite regrow limbs, but can stave off death from all but the worst injuries. Should help your people in the future.”
“And you are just giving this to me?” Doctor Gero asks, looking shocked from the outstretched hand to your youngest daughter's face. “Are you sure? Is she authorized to spread secrets like this?”

“Of course. We just started mass-producing these recently.” you say, stepping back into the conversation. “If you're at the level you can augment living beings, even to the level Krillin was, I'm sure you will be able to further increase production. Who knows, your world could become a producer of more supplies in the future.”
“I see. Very well, General Karn. I understand the assignment. Thank you, once more for your aid. But for now I must be off, there is much to be done.”

The two of you share a nod of understanding, Gero turning back towards the main building. His large enforcer, silent and staring down at you all follows wordlessly, the two flying away. Leaving you with just one question:

What do you do now?
>Instant Transmission down to Marron, see how she and her 'father' are doing

“Alright, now that that's settled, I'm going to go see how Marron and her father are doing.” you say, feeling Chaya's sudden spike in interest. You turn, seeing your daughter looking... Unsettled is the best word for it. “You okay?”
“Mind if I, uhh, tag along?” she asks you, not sounding the usual, confident champion. “I, well, uh...”
“Sure thing, just hold on.” you say, turning to Caulifla. “If anything happens, let me know immediately, okay?”

“Will do.” she replies, you nodding to her then raising your right hand to your forehead. Focusing on Marron's ki, sensing her far below, you teleport directly to her. The world around you both changes, leaving the outside behind and finding yourselves in some sort of laboratory. Marron is with a much, MUCH weaker being, one with blue hair and a white coat similar to the ones Daiko and his boys also wear. Seems white really is a universal color. Several machines with green see-through, fluid-filled containers atop line the area, with a large central computer making the odd beep and whirring noise. But your focus is on the table with the two women, where, to your surprise, he's seemingly already repaired.

“-o us when you did. Any longer and the lack of air and blood could have started causing brain damage.” the blue-haired woman says, attaching arms to the new torso with a pair of clicks. But as she stands back up, she sees you out of the corner of her eye. And without hesitation whirls, drawing and firing some sort of condensed energy weapon directly at your face between the eyes. As she does Marron turns as well, ascending into a Super Saiyan and drawing her blade, only to relax as she recognizes you. Reaching up with your left you stop the short beam on your left hand, the heat uncomfortable for a second but not enough to seriously damage you. You've taken much bigger, hotter blasts of laser weapons fighting the Covenant, you barely feel this one.

“Easy, Bulma, they're with me.” Marron says, the woman not firing again but not lowering her weapon. So, you take this moment to introduce yourself, lowering your hand.
“I am General Karn, of the PTO. The threat has been sent back to its own time, and the pathway sealed behind it this time.” you tell her, the woman sighing out and lowering her weapon. Sounding quite relieved at the news. “Your people are safe.”
“Thank goodness.” she says, returning her weapon to wherever it was stored within her lab coat, then turning her attention back to you. Looking you up and down with an appraising eye, giving you a moment to take her in as well. She seems older, face worn with worry lines and eyes that sparkle with intelligence. But there's something else there, there's more to her than you can see.

“So, you're the big bad alien, huh? Figured you'd look more like the guys Gero was meeting with than us humans.” she says, then notices Chaya too. “Wow, you look like you had it rough up there.”
“Nah, these are all older than today. Had this one when I was still a kid.” Chaya says, gesturing up to the scar over her left eye. The one she'd gotten from that one Covenant Stand-wielder who dared challenge her in her own arena. “So, how is...?”
“Oh, Krillin? Why don't you ask him yourself?” she replies with a grin, turning and pressing a button. Causing the man on the table's eyes to open, not yet moving.

“How long was I down, Bulma?” he asks immediately, not attempting to move.
“Three minutes. Fortunately was able to hot swap your spine and head onto this body, so you should be right as rain.” Bulma says, then gestures offhandedly to Marron. “You have your daughter to thank for that, had you been left in that shape for much longer and you could have started sustaining brain damage.”
“Thanks kiddo, really. You saved my life.” he says, reaching up and placing his hand atop her own. Patting it once gently, smiling up at her before sitting up. “Alright, let's see how this bo-! Woah....!”

As he sits up, you see him make eye contact with your daughter. Freezing in place, eyes widening as his cheeks and even the tips of his ears start to change colors slightly.

“K-Krillin?” Chaya asks, voice a bit hesitant. As she says his name, the man's eyes widen even further, still not even noticing you as his entire attention is held captive by your daughter.
“Someone pinch me, I must be dreaming.” he mutters, before closing his eyes and shaking his head back and forth. But when he opens them again and sees her, he answers. “Y-Yeah, that's me. But who are you?”
“I'm Chaya. Marron's mother.” your daughter says to the shorter man. “I was coming to see for myself who I fell for, in another time.”

“Well, I-I'm not quite the same guy. But whaddya say to giving this version of me a chance?” he asks uncertainly, rubbing the back of his head with his left while holding out his right hand to her. Seems he's already made up his mind on your daughter. But as you turn from him back to Chaya, you wonder how your daughter will respond to him?

And that's it for this weekend, that's the cliffhanger I'm leaving you with this time. Enjoy this episode, and all of its reveals? Did you enjoy getting a small taste of the power gap you will have to find a way to overcome, so you're not running in blind? What do you think of Krillin and Chaya, think anything's going to happen here or will they go their own ways? Ready to take Marron and start her training, or will you prioritize your own? And what do you think Mechikabura's decision will be on your plan, now that he knows what awaits you there? All this and more, next time on Saiyan Conqueror Quest!

Glad both doctors are alright and intact. I'm starting to think Yamcha actually died. What I really want to know though is if Earth still has its hyperbolic time chamber and set of dragon balls. But considering how KP took over the world, I'm guessing that the eternal dragon was put to eternal rest, sadly. But god, PLEASE let the HTC be intact.
>Did you enjoy getting a small taste of the power gap you will have to find a way to overcome, so you're not running in blind
We would've been absolutely FUBAR'd had we tried hunting down Amaya Black and ran facefirst into Meloka Black. Thankfully her flexing gives us a good yardstick. We'll make the decapitation stick next time.
>What do you think of Krillin and Chaya, think anything's going to happen here or will they go their own ways?
I shan't speak of it, lest I jinx it.
>Ready to take Marron and start her training, or will you prioritize your own?
This is the motherfucking GAINZ TRAIN, we can ace both. Marron will be a seasoned galaxy-shattering weapon of mass destruction by the time we're finished.
>And what do you think Mechikabura's decision will be on your plan, now that he knows what awaits you there?
I doubt he'll step in the fray proper. Messed up that the multiverse has to deal with a bouquet of Zamasu, though I'm not surprised that they've been ganking U7 timelines exclusively and "mysteriously" avoiding the other universes. Would love to see them getting Jiren'd.
>inb4 are you sure
Zamasu is a pussy in every timeline guaranteed.

>>6171113
Man knows what he wants. And, thanks to the events of this timeline and having no Goku to rely on, he's become far more competent and accomplished in his own right.
We'll see. The blast didn't reach this level, but if he were inside the base his body would have been recovered immediately. And, as we see with Bulma, Yamcha, Tien and Krillin all clearly have spare bodies on standby.
That would require the Lookout to have survived.
Absolutely, and while she's the STRONGEST of the Zamasu, there are more than you've seen. Good luck. May not be YOUR job to take her down, as that's a gap you can't overcome even with 100% of the Berserker Soul's current power at your disposal.
Fair.
Your levels are so far apart, she cannot train with you. Even 5x New Salda's gravity would push her body to its absolute limits.
>Messed up that the multiverse has to deal with a bouquet of Zamasu, though I'm not surprised that they've been ganking U7 timelines exclusively and "mysteriously" avoiding the other universes.
You say that like Meloka Black hasn't been slaughtering the stronger beings. She bested a Destroyer God, after all. And her transformation today was felt throughout the ENTIRE Seventh Universe and even beyond.
Ha! But is Meloka Black? She's strong enough to clutch a 1v1 against a Destroyer and win, not even a direct Hakai can stop her.

>>6171057
>Ready to take Marron and start her training, or will you prioritize your own?

>>6171126
>Your levels are so far apart, she cannot train with you. Even 5x New Salda's gravity would push her body to its absolute limits.

Can probably just pass her off to whichever of our kids is closest to her in power level, let her spar and do weight training with that aunt/uncle for most of her training time each day, and then Karn just spends an hour or so (or just some time during our sessions with all of our other students) teaching her useful techniques or next levels of Saiyan transformations.

Probably better than having Karn stall his own gains to babysit her. Karn needs to push hard for the next while.

Also, my phone keeps autocorrecting to Karen

>>6171133
Thats a good plan. Caulifla's very responsible, but I'm not sure if she has that kind of space in her schedule, so I'm looking towards the older twins for support

>>6171133
It is a way to train her. Each of your children older than Maz and Kayle have more than enough experience to train her.
Ha.
>>6171145
Most of your children her age and up have their own obligations. Chaya, Broly, Chilli, all have lives outside your world. Caulifla is so busy she misses sleep regularly, and the elder twins... You haven't been seeing much of them lately either, for some reason.

Reckon primary responsibility for making sure Maron gets an efficient training period falls with Chaya. Her alt timeline kid, after all. alt timeline mum surpasses alt timeline grandpa on the duty of care scale.

>>6171183
Yeah, we already offered to train her and I don't see a way to reasonably cut through the power gap without cheats. And I don't wanna offload Marron to our kids so the solution I see is sharing the work with Meloka. And HTC.

>>6171183
Speaking of Marron, I can't help but notice she's not on the powerlevel pastebin yet. I'm curious to see exactly where she stacks up to the regular cast in terms of raw power. On that note though;
>Karn is cruising at a cunt hair under 3 billion in base
Very nice, but it's clear that's just not gonna cut it if we're gonna tangle with the queen bitch again. However, I can't think of a way to accelerate Karn's growth.
Per your own statements, Karn's having the best gains of his life right now on top of giving 110% day after day. What more can we possibly do to even the odds?
Sure, there's potentially ludicrous stuff like abusing fusion or wishes, but I can't really see Karn pursuing either of those options if left to his own devices.
The way things are going, we might have to accept going in as the underdog or come up with a strategy that circumvents the power gap and Zamasu's immortality entirely.
Meloka please unlock Bluper Saiyan 3 sooner rather than later I beg you. I don't wanna have to try and blow the bitch up with the Berserker shard she has.

>>6171189
Best we can do for her without compromising our own training (as I see it) would be putting her through the ringer alongside the rest of our regular students. We might also try teaching her some swordsmanship (really just unlearning her bad habits from being self-taught) while we work on our Energy Body. That said, trying to coach her telepathically while tanking hits from the wife might result in another Meloka Moment.

>>6171190
>What more can we possibly do to even the odds?
Have Towa scientifically calculate the best way to put Karn into a coma with near-fatal damage and force feed him BEAAAANNNNSSSS every day.

>>6171193
Bladed Su Ma would blow her mind.
>>6171205
I don't think Zenkai is that potent at our ripe ol' age anymore to be abusing like that.

>>6171210
Okay, three times a day.

>>6171210
>Bladed Su Ma
Ehhhhhhhhhh, those maneuvers might be a little much for her right now. Djem-So's more conventional movements and strategies seem more her speed.
Not to mention that form is Karn's specialty at this point.

>>6171184
A very good point.
>>6171189
You did offer.
>>6171190
>I can't help but notice she's not on the powerlevel pastebin yet
Of course not. Can’t spoil her power before you see it IC.
I’ll put it this way, you’re not going to be on par with her on your own. By the time you would reach where she is now she’ll have conquered ALL the other timelines attached to yours, killing the mortals within them off completely. But you’re missing what you didn’t use before. The equalizer, what has always allowed you to face beings from other timelines on relatively even ground.
>spoiler
She’s nowhere close to that level, and even IF she discovered such a form, her base isn’t nearly high enough for it to work.

>>6171193
She would be impressed by your swordplay and absorb such lessons.
>>6171205
Zenkai would take a lot to close that gap.
>>6171210
What little she saw of Meloka’s bladework against Black impressed her.
>>6171226
Who is to say Karn would be the only one allowed to teach her swording?

>>6171229
>Zenkai would take a lot to close that gap.
Five times a day?

>>6171228
Ok, the big bitch has to be hacking. No way she got that strong from reverse boosting on powerless muggles and fodder. You telling me that the zealot worked even harder than Future Chaya and Ace combined? Fuck outta here.

>>6171312
He zenkai maxxed. Also cheated. Since he kept his gay ass god powers. And despite what we all think of kais, he was de facto the swolest one of the bunch. He's built different amongst the fruity ones and actually knows how to throw hands.

>>6171312
>You telling me that the zealot worked even harder than Future Chaya and Ace combined? Fuck outta here.
Probably not, but iirc Meloka Black has been active for about a century now. A gap forming after that long is a given.

I'm pretty hyped by this episode, lots of tension and a foreboding feel. Taking drawing reqs!

>>6171232
I mean you don't have that level left in that particular tank period.
>>6171312
>No way she got that strong from reverse boosting on powerless muggles and fodder.
You're right. First, Zamasu took a POST-ToP, post Baby, and post everything between Meloka's body. Second, she's been farming different Karn and their families for XP. Turns out, to a god, a godkiller's quite a prize.
Not to say she ALSO isn't cheating somehow, and I'll include that regeneration in here too.
>>6171323
True. Zamasu was the strongest Kai, even stronger than Grand Supreme Kai of the 7th who beat Moro all that time ago.
>>6171344
Yes. Time is a huge advantage. But everyone's missing how you can beat her. Reread the fight, and consider what you saw. Overpowering Meloka Black isn't necessary to beating her.
>>6171380

I haven't really seen anything noteworthy except for this last part:
>“GWROOOOAAAAAR!!” your Stand bellows, snaking from your arm directly towards the exposed wound. Trying to dive into the opening to enter her body and destroy it from the inside out. But just as your Stand is about to, the Rosé aura blazes around the wound, repelling Divine Dragon Force. Forming a barrier even it can't punch through.
>Meloka Black's body, despite already attempting to regenerate from the damage finally falls limp.
>Divine Dragon Force goes to grab the head but stops, you looking from the portal down to it. Only to see the oddest thing. The head, severed from the body begins disappearing as if hit with the Destroyer's power of Hakai. Dissolving into motes of light momentarily before vanishing completely, no traces of its energy left behind.
This raises several questions. It demonstrates that Meloka Black is aware on some level of DDF and its "delete this guy that I don't like" abilities. If she could see it, she would've commented on it, smug brat that she is. Did she copy the Energy Body technique from *a* Karn, or is this the kind of Jiren flexing where you can't get past the aura alone? I didn't see anything indicating condensing, it looked like the opposite.
Also, note how Meloka Black protected her body and not her head, like how Lobo was desperately flinging his head away back when he was being an asshole. Wild guess, but I'm assuming that her regeneration is about Perfect-Cell tier; putting her down for good means complete cellular annihilation, and headshots are NOT a win condition. And the last thing, how her head started disintegrating when it was separated from the body. Was it the unintentional effect of Meloka Black's brand of immortality? Did she do it on purpose? Either answer prevented Divine Dragon Force from making contact. Word of GD states:
>>6171126
>She's strong enough to clutch a 1v1 against a Destroyer and win, not even a direct Hakai can stop her.
There's no details on how THAT happened or which Destroyer jobbed to Meloka Black (prolly Beerus lol), but it implies she either tanked it or was able to subvert the technique.
Anons, what do (You) think?

My assumption on beating Meloka Black is a long running assumption I've had about the Black Arc Zamasus.

The entire reason Goku Black was able to continue to exist, is that his Time Ring protected him from being Retconned, even when Beerus Hakai'd him in the past.

Meloka Blacks head disappearing upon being severed, but her protecting her body, gives this thought more weight.

Meloka Black isn't protecting her body cause shes relying on her Super Shenron Immortality but more then that shes protecting her Time Ring.

I think if we can cut of Meloka Blacks Time Ring hand, and keep it away from her long enough, she might get hit with the Retcon Hammer like she was a DC Character.

>>6171462
yeah, I had the same idea. Better yet, we can use DDF to give her the Lying Eyes Requiem treatment.

>>6171462
>tfw the divorce kills her when she loses the ring
woah that's like the symbolisms, man. Clever, perhaps?

Would supervillain help even up the power imbalance a bit? Meloka Black is from another timeline after all.

I feel like we're hyperfixating on the power gap right now. Must be because of how long it's been since Karn wasn't the biggest and baddest fucker in a situation, but regardless, we have plenty of shit to even the odds I feel.

>tfw never watched super
I forgot thats why Black got yeeted back in time when he first showed up and got stomped. I was guessing that there was some sort of "core" like with Perfect-Cell and his bullshit nucleus that had to be destroyed. I'll take your time ring theory for a sec and paint a picture.
>Meloka Black swipes a Time Ring
>Gets her identity found out in another timeline and thus retroactively Hakai'd
>Time Ring protects her from getting deleted across existence
Or alternatively, since GD said she tanked a "direct" Hakai:
>Meloka Black gets confronted by a Destroyer for EXP farming too hard and fucking over too many timelines
>Gets Hakai'd, but uses the Time Ring to undo her destruction (somehow?)
>Ganks the unidentified Destroyer in the past before getting Hakai'd, contradicting her fate
>Kind of like how DDF made LER unexist via stable time travel and Karn ganks Truth before awakening LER
But just because it unhappened doesn't mean it never existed, and I think divine destruction would stick harder than basic reality warping. Maybe Meloka Black suffers from a Schrödinger's Destruction, and removing the Time Ring would mean directly observing the metaphorical cat inside of the box, and theoretically remove the contradiction Meloka Black. But even if that's not the case, MB should not have the Time Ring if it allows her to rip open holes in time and give our timeline Zamasu AIDS. Now, the million dollar question is how do we play keep away, and for how long? I came up with some answers that I honestly do not like.
>Gamble with DDF to swipe the ring or delete it from existence
>Use Imagine Dragon to remove it
>Just rip the hand off
>Ask the Dragon Balls for help
>Trick MB into taking it off
>Get Ginyu to bodyswap with MB, take it off and far away from the fight, then quickly bodyswap back
Goes unsaid, but it would be ideal if she didn't have any minions with her.
>>6171479
It might, for about 10 seconds. Then we asplode.
>>6171484
Getting a big head in our long and rich career of turbomurdering things that have no right to be turbomurdered was inevitable. We'll have to rub our braincells to make another miracle like THE PLAN for this arc.

>>6171383
I love those goobers. Need to finish watching the series proper, not paying dub terrorists for it.
>>6171386
You physically cannot zenkai to that level.
>>6171416
Yes and no. The "fires" of her aura around damage regenerating seem to act like Jiren's own, but whether that is simply the strength gap or something else is unclear at this time.
>putting her down for good means complete cellular annihilation, and headshots are NOT a win condition
Yes. For you to 'kill' her, she has to go.
>no details on how THAT happened or which Destroyer jobbed to Meloka Black (prolly Beerus lol), but it implies she either tanked it or was able to subvert the technique
No details yet. Perhaps Mechikabura will return with more information when he comes with his decision?
>>6171462
>The entire reason Goku Black was able to continue to exist, is that his Time Ring protected him from being Retconned, even when Beerus Hakai'd him in the past.
Yes, the Time Ring, just like the Time Kai's power protects one from changes to their own past, even Hakai. Which completely erases the target, reduced to nothing. Can even erase the soul, leaves NOTHING of the victim behind.
>I think if we can cut of Meloka Blacks Time Ring hand, and keep it away from her long enough, she might get hit with the Retcon Hammer like she was a DC Character.
A good theory. But she would begin almost immediately regenerating from that hand that was severed in this scenario. If you wish to do this, you HAVE to get AND KEEP the ring away from her long enough.
>>6171479
Absolutely. You've grown accustomed to not relying on it, since gaining Berserker God. But that power is designed to 'even the odds' as it were.
>>6171484
Yes. While ever since BoG, Karn has been one of the strongest players in the game, he's still used to fighting from a power deficit. Perhaps he just needs reminded of that?

>>6171504
Who said the two are mutually exclusive events? She's had a long career, after all. And I wouldn't gamble on Ginyu. Karn's ANTI-divine Berserker God power and Divine Dragon Force's God-slaying might combined, which if anyone's forgotten beat the Demon God Dumplin and slayed his mortal form couldn't get through her Rosé power, there's no way Body Change gets through sadly. But bonus points for creative thinking.

>>6171517
>You physically cannot zenkai to that level.
24 times a day. Take it or leave it.

>>6171542
Its like you want us to twist our Zenkai bone. Even with healing pods, it's a bitch of a recovery period.

>>6171579
You drive a hard bargain. 8 times it is.

>>6171609
How many times a day you think we can get a Zenkai if we abuse healing beans and multiform?

>>6171610
At least as many times as I can count with on my hands and feet. So 27.

Should we do the intermission this time from Chaya's pov of her meeting Krillin the first time? Or should it be something a little different, going with either Marron's reaction to Karn and Meloka vs Meloka Black or Cui's pov of Meloka Black's arrival and initial attack?

I'm curious to see what happened to Cui and how things shook out before Karn and Meloka saved the day.
If he managed to get Black with the oldest trick in the book, I'm gonna laugh my ass off.

>>6171636
I want to see Cui's intermission. It's been a while since we've last seen our former middle management manager.

>>6171640
One thing I will note is that he's far less content to just sit on his ass compared to most other timelines. Between his respectable 100K powerlevel and taking the lead on a mission like this, he just seems way more motivated.
I can only imagine what caused such a shift in his priorities.

>>6171647
>I can only imagine what caused such a shift in his priorities.
Perhaps having a subordinate rise through the ranks to become Freeza's right hand man before the leadership change had something to do with it?

>>6171898
Well good on him for getting a fire lit under his ass. Living through the Covenant War with an attitude like that only further raises my expectations of his skills as a combatant and a field officer.

>>6171647
As a numberfag, I see that number and think "damn, only 100k?". But I also know that the best kind of comparison is comparing your old self to your new self, and Cui would absolutely eviscerate the old him. If the soldiers had this kind of motivation in most timelines, the Namek Saga Squad would've been ultra fucked a hundred times over.

>>6171988
>As a numberfag, I see that number and think "damn, only 100k?".
I personally like to compare and contrast to known figures from the canon timeline.
On that note, had Cui been this powerful there, he would have been right behind Ginyu in terms of raw strength.
>If the soldiers had this kind of motivation in most timelines, the Namek Saga Squad would've been ultra fucked a hundred times over.
It is funny to think about just how much our allies have blow past themselves in most other timelines. Can you imagine our Raditz being the one visit Earth and pick a fight with Goku? I think the gap in strength would have made Piccolo shit himself.

>>6170621
>Thought I could absorb it all, didn't know she could detonate it even AFTER I'd already absorbed it into me.” he says, your eyes going wide in shock.
I find this to be impressive. Is it okay to assume that Meloka Black has energy manipulation skills comparable to our Meloka? Or is she better or worse?
>>6170641
>Well, good news is the only Zamasu left outside the most recent time clusters are already either a member of the Legion or have been executed for failure to comply. Which means there are less Zamasu than the total branches on your timeline already.
Interesting. I lost track of all the Zamasu that are out there, so I would like to ask what is the status of Zamasu from our Karn’s timeline? Is he still thinking whether he should kill all ningen or is already in Zamasu legion? Is he in some way different from other Zamasu because he is from our timeline?
>>6171126
>You say that like Meloka Black hasn't been slaughtering the stronger beings. She bested a Destroyer God, after all. And her transformation today was felt throughout the ENTIRE Seventh Universe and even beyond.
So it was enough to wake up Beerus if he was napping. I’m guessing Whis, Kars, Old Kai and even Shin are on alert. Maybe even Belmod noticed. Was this enough for El Grande Padre to notice?
>>6171133
Nice plan.
>Also, my phone keeps autocorrecting to Karen
Lol
>>6171057
>Enjoy this episode, and all of its reveals?
It was a lot of fun.

>>6171639
Well, Meloka Black's entrance is quite familiar. But the Red Ribbon response may have surprised Cui.
>>6171640
He's found himself way over his head. But that didn't mean he forsook his duty, something Gero will notice.
>>6171913
He wasn't a front line officer, that's for sure. But supply chains win wars.
>>6171988
Yeah he only nearly 5x'd his canon powerlevel from his canon self three years in the future. Remember, canon Namek is December of AGE 762 and we're halfway into AGE 759.
Oh absolutely. Keeping the Saiyans and having them continuously increase in strength did have an "arms race" sort of effect on the entire PTO. Others, not wanting to be left behind and realizing powerlevels are far more mutable, put it far more work. Especially without Freeza simply obliterating most of their enemies' worlds and keeping everyone weak and afraid of him.
>>6172001
Oh yeah, would have packed Vegeta like vacation clothes.
Piccolo would have sensed him from space, by the time he arrived he or Kami would have likely had a heart attack.
>>6172027
At least. Plus god fuckery.
Meloka Black hadn't found your timeline, yet. Somehow...
Freeza could feel Meloka Black's power, and he can still only barely sense divine energy. He thought it WAS Meloka, for a split-second.
Glad you enjoyed, and glad to be back. Still not 100%, but I can eat, run SCQ and work so good enough.

>>6172126
Will be a fun one. But at this point, not looking like that's what the majority wants, and I was undecided. But it WILL happen, may even have something special in the works...

He directly sensed Rosé, and was surprised. But when he, Whis, and Beerus sensed 3, well. Epilogue/Intermission for another time.

>>6172222

Don't want to spoil what's happening this weekend, but... Well, we'll see soon enough.

>>6172778
I don't know who this Sue Nenoff is but she seems to be lurking all over the place.

>>6172789
It's the encounter GD has been teasing about since the beginning of the quest. We weren't strong enough to meet Sue Nenoff yet. I still think we aren't strong enough now because she is some capital B bullshit featswise

>>6172804
Seriously, she's gotta have at least quasi-omnipresence. I wonder if she could give that imp Mixing Spin Locks a thrashing.

If nothing goes wrong, intermission dropping before I go off to work tomorrow. Getting a bit of time from Cui’s perspective, before things go to hell.

-Saiyan Conqueror Quest 232 Intermission-

AGE 759, PLANET EARTH


“And as you can see, the Hoi-Poi Capsules are the pinnacle of ease of transport on Earth. Haul an entire aircraft fleet right in the palm of your hands.” the blue-haired woman says, holding up the small case lined with capsules.
“And you're saying each one of 'em is a different aircraft?” your second, Blueberry asks in shock. “Incredible. And there's no magic behind this technology whatsoever?”

“That's right! It is all mechanical, a function of the capsule technology my late father engineered. Anything from your phone to a building, a laser-based weapon like the one on your arm or a VTOL aircraft, or even the spherical ships you all flew in on could be contained within Capsules.” she continues in her sales pitch. Clearly enjoying herself and the looks on your men's faces. Especially your own, knowing that you're in charge of your people on this world. “The applications are endless! You can even store food within one, and despite the temperature outside, the items will remain within at whatever temperature they were stored in. Say, you're about to leave for a long spaceflight, you could have home-cooked meals prepared and stored within capsules, even having a supply for every day of a months-long space voyage.”

“I see. This technology is quite sophisticated. Far more advanced than we had expected of a pre-spaceflight civilization.” you retort, bringing a hand to your chin. “There had been reports of such technology before, from the Tuffles, but their process was... unable to be replicated, even with full, unrestricted access to their facilities after the Saiyan-Tuffle War, or what was left of them anyways. The fact this technology thought lost to time has been rediscovered will be quite the discovery. Tell me, what is your planet's capabilities to replicate it? Is this something that can be done at-scale?”
“Of course. May need to modify the process a bit, especially if your constructions use metal alloys or other materials that don't necessarily work with the capsule tech. But I believe that, with the right support it can be scaled up globally.”

“I see. This is quite the unexpected development, but a pleasant one. I'm sure Lord Cooler would see the potential of this technology, and wish to know more.” you answer, pleased with this discovery and how well things are going.

You are Cui, former commanding officer of Freeza Planet 79's outpost and current leader of the strike team designated for the takeover of this backwater world. A planet so far out away from everything that you doubt this mission would have been okayed for another decade or two or for a team as powerful as your own, if that one mysterious powerlevel in the hundreds of millions hadn't been detected. Only for it to mysteriously vanish right before you all deployed. But now that you know who that was, a Namekian calling himself the 'Demon King' before Karn took him off to live with his own people, the real surprises of this world have been revealed. With its technology bolstered to battle a menace that powerful, your interest is in the technology that enabled beings with powerlevels in the single digits to conquer beings on par with Lord Freeza's power. At least before he'd begun training with the Saiyans, anyways.

“Fortunately, large-scale conflicts are now a thing of the past, with the defeat of the last major empire with the strength to oppose us. However, the logistical usefulness of this technology cannot be ignored.” you say, then lean forward, resting your chin on your laced together fingers, elbows on the table as you meet the doctor's gaze. “However, there is one other technology we would be quite interested in that you possess. I saw that energy-absorbing technology firsthand, the one in his hands. I would like to know more.”

Saying this, you gesture to the shorter of the two bald men at the table, the one wearing orange whose name you think starts with a K. Who looks surprised, pointing to himself.

“What, me? You mean the-?” he starts, only for his commanding officer to speak up.
“I take it you mean the devices implanted within some of my warriors.” he says, the other one going silent at this. “Very well. I take it you wish to know how such technology could be implemented into your own warriors, if possible?”
“I must admit, I am curious about the scale such technology could be implemented across the wider Cooler Force. To enable beings like yourselves, beings whose powerlevels, no offense, average in the single digits allowed you to best someone that strong even once is nothing short of miraculous.”

“When you say powerlevel, what exactly are you referencing?” the other bald one, the triclops asks. Which, just like the Namekian, having a Triclops as well on such an isolated world is quite surprising. You'll have to send for a check, to scan the world for other beings previously thought extinct or near to it. “Is this how you measure strength?”

“Yes. To put it simply, the Scouter technology allows us to scan living, non-mechanical beings to gauge their physical power, and rank it numerically. For example, my own powerlevel currently reads at 101,000.” you say, activating your own scouter and reading off your own number. “Whereas your planet was scanned before we departed, and the average powerlevel of living beings on your planet was four. To put that to scale, the General, while an exceptionally powerful warrior even amongst his people, has a power of over a billion. He is a Saiyan, and the average Saiyan powerlevel across their entire population is over nine hundred thousand.”
“N-Nine hundred th-thousand?!” the orange-wearing scarred warrior says, clearly shocked. “And you're saying there's more of them?”

“Yes. The Saiyans, while not the most numerous, with their population only around a quarter million or so now, are the tip of the spear. The PTO's strongest warriors, aside from Lord Cooler and his family.” you tell them, watching their reactions. The three you pin to be warriors all seem shocked, the blue-haired woman clearly confused and the leader, Doctor Gero, still completely unreadable. “So, for you to have a technology that enables even far, and I mean no offense, but lesser beings to battle warriors so much stronger is of special interest to us. We wouldn't want this technology falling into the wrong hands.”
“I see. Well, there is good news and bad news for you. The good news is that such a process cannot be automated, creating an army of warriors like the three I have here cannot be done to scale.” the doctor says, lowering the tension a bit. “However-”

But before he can continue, suddenly a warning klaxon goes off. At the same time, your scouter pings, something has suddenly just appeared. Something powerful, one that raises your reading to its max before simply reading “ERROR”.

“One of yours?” the doctor asks, you shaking your head. Immediately you push yourself up, Gero activating a screen. You all turn, seeing a familiar-seeming figure wearing black hovering near the still-smoking time machine Karn's granddaughter from another time rolled up in. “Another one?”
“Shit, we have to warn-” you start to say, going to push yourself up out of your seat, only for the figure to vanish. Immediately, you suddenly feel a chill crawl down your back, you have a bad feeling about this.
“GET DOWN!!” the orange-wearing scarred man shouts, leaping over the table, over YOU and leaping towards the large window behind you. And then several things happen at once.
“CUI!!” your second Blueberry shouts, leaping over and tackling you out of the way, knocking you to the ground as the blast lands. Directly on the energy-absorbing devices on the scarred man's palms.

However, despite starting to absorb that energy, the blast is simply too massive, too powerful for him to absorb all at once. The force of the blast smashing him down into and then THROUGH the ground, the man shouting as he strains to withstand that level of power.

“YAMCHA!!” the blue-haired woman shouts in concern, but you turn your focus to the figure hovering there. Who, sure enough, looks like the General's wife, Meloka. Except you IMMEDIATELY realize something's wrong. You were her commanding officer for more than a few years on Freeza Planet 79, and this being wearing her face isn't her. She's also clearly crazy, but a different breed of crazy. A far more dangerous crazy.
“This planet is under PTO protection! Who are you, and why are you attacking?” you shout, rising to your feet and drawing the being's attention while giving a subtle hand command to your men. The signal for 'get ready to attack'. “State your name and business!”

“A god does not take orders from a filthy ningen.” the not-Meloka says, looking down at you all with disgust. She then raises her right hand, leveling it at you. “Die for your insolence.”
“CUI!!” Tapua shouts, leaping between you and her hand as suddenly there's a flash of light. As it ends you watch as Tapua's smoking corpse drops, landing on the ground in a heap.
“Tapua?! You'll PAY!!” you shout, raising both hands and gathering your crimson energy between them. “ATTACK! HAAAA! Ha haah ha hah haah ha!”

Firing a barrage of energy shots, your attack landing true your squadmates then blast off past, you ending your barrage as they get close so you don't catch them in the crossfire. But as your attack ends she sweeps a hand to the side, blowing away the smoke as Banan and Sui close in. Only for her to catch Banan's fist with a finger, stopping him in his tracks.

“Wh-What?!” he exclaims, shocked as Sui flies up over him, weapon leveled and overcharged, green energy seeping through the weapon's casing.
“Take THIS!” he shouts, firing the miniaturized Covenant world-glassing laser almost point-blank. But this fake Meloka stops it, firing a pair of beams from her eyes. Stopping the attack until the beam weakens, then firing her energy into his weapon. Causing it to detonate, blasting both him and Banan. Sending the two flying back into the room, crashing into the wall by the elevator you'd taken into the room.

While all this was going on, Doctor Gero and the woman had evacuated into the elevator, the other two guarding it to ensure their escape. And as if seeing this, she smirks, leveling a hand at the doorway. But in that moment, you seize the opening, pointing behind her and shouting:

“General Karn!”

>>6173064
“WHAT?!” she exclaims, whipping her head around where you're pointing, her tone almost too eager. But, in that moment of distraction, the triclops takes the opening.
“KIKOHO!!” he roars, and everything goes white. The next thing you see is the damage to the wall, the massive hole now has four distinct 'edges', marking where a square blast had been fired. But you don't waste time, powering up to one hundred percent and blasting out after her.

“MOVE!!” you shout, all your soldiers following you out. As the strongest you take the lead, seeing the woman looking cross out in the sky. Cracking her neck, as if that massive blinding attack was nothing more than an annoyance. “Take THIS!!”

Again you gather your energy, this time unleashing a single powerful blast. But she casually flicks your strongest attack back, it striking Blueberry and detonating against him. Sending his bleeding, tattered body back into the building, where you hear his body crashing down.

“Damn you!” Kiko-!” the triclops shouts, again gathering his power. But then she's just... Gone. As she vanishes, you hear the man cry out in pain. Turning, feeling far too slow, you see she's shoved a hand straight through his chest. And with a casual motion bisects him, blood and what looks like some sort of vehicle oil spraying out as his two halves fall to the ground.
“I've had enough.” she says, going one after another to each of you, faster than your people and this world's can react, sending you flying one after another until you're the only one left. Then she's suddenly right in front of you, hand around your throat. Cutting off your air, feeling your eyes bulging from the pressure. “And as for you. How dare you get my hopes up?! But, I suppose if I kill enough of you, he'll show himself.”

Then with almost casual disdain palm strikes you in the chest with her other hand, releasing your neck as the blow sends you flying down. Tumbling head over heels, the world a blur until you hit something solid. Feeling it crush behind you, your body embedding in it as your consciousness begins to fade.

“D-Dammit.” you mutter, focusing what's left of your mind and desperately reaching out telepathically to the general. Praying he hears you. “Karn! We gotta problem! We're under attack!”
“What? How?!” comes the immediate reply, relief washing over you as everything goes dark. It's going to be okay, the general is going to save you all. And as you try and explain things, your last thoughts are of the day you'd met the Saiyan. Never in a million years did you imagine he'd one day be the one you'd pray would come and save you.

Oh FUCK we never asked about Tien!!

We really are everyone's hero.

Classic.
Good to see Cui still knows how to lead from the front despite all the desk-jockeying he's been doing.

>>6173074
He and West City shared the same fate. Why do you think this base is made in a massive crater, and Marron's ship appeared here from leaving her timeline's West City?
Perhaps you'll find out later?
We'll see soon enough.
Cui's men are loyal, would each willingly die for their commander because he treats them so well.
We'll see it he's okay or not soon enough.
Yes. The entire PTO knows that if ANYONE can do it, General Karn can. Hero of the Covenant War, Dragon of New Salda, slayer of demons and breaker of worlds.
>>6173099
He doesn't fight fair, he's there to win. People with power can have honor, the weak(er) do whatever it takes to triumph. And absolutely, he's put his men on a training regiment to keep them sharp, as well as himself.

>>6173125
Ah, yeah. KP really did end up blowing up West City here without a Goku to stop him. RIP Dr. Briefs, and presumably his wife and cat too.
>Cui's men are loyal, would each willingly die for their commander because he treats them so well.
I wonder if that's an effect of our successes and attitude in this timeline too. From what I remember, the canon PTO had more of a "dog eat dog" thing going on, and the guy above you wouldn't care too much for your personal safety at best.

>>6173150
I mean Karn has spent literal decades of effort at this point trying to make the entire damn multiverse a better place. His efforts to generally try to be a decent person has pretty much dragged the PTO kicking and screaming into being better people, even king cold is less of an asshole once he got his revenge on buu.

>>6173150
Yes. With no Goku, King Piccolo reigned over earth basically unopposed for years. Until the dragon team and red ribbon army team up took him down.
That is partially due to Saiyan influence, but not entirely. The big shift was the war, as commanders who took care of their subordinates were taken care of when the fighting kicked off. Meaning the worst offenders didn't make it back home, and everyone else got the memo. Even if they don't LIKE their subordinates, they treated them well out of a sense of self-preservation if nothing else.
>>6173342
Not entirely wrong, Karn's influence is wide-felt. But it was also how Karn impacted FREEZA which made a difference. When random murders of subordinates to 'make an example' when someone completely unrelated fails, turns out your subordinates are far more loyal and do better work. And less likely to do so to THEIR subordinates as well.

>>6173342
Well, "less of an asshole" is the most good you can make the Cold Clan, so I'll take it as a win.
>>6173367
>The big shift was the war, as commanders who took care of their subordinates were taken care of when the fighting kicked off. Meaning the worst offenders didn't make it back home, and everyone else got the memo
Ahhh, good ol' reaping and sowing. The world would be a better place if there were more tangible consequences for treating subordinates like dogshit.
>But it was also how Karn impacted FREEZA which made a difference. When random murders of subordinates to 'make an example' when someone completely unrelated fails, turns out your subordinates are far more loyal and do better work.
Freeza probably realized along the way that he probably sniped very valuable talent in anger when Karn went from some schmuck nobody to one of the biggest dogs in the universe, right? Good on the emperor for not being so wasteful.
>And less likely to do so to THEIR subordinates as well.
Reminds me how Tagoma also turned into a twat due to being freiza's punching bag and spending extended time in his presence in Resurrection F

>>6173069
Heh, you got em Qui, you got em.

24 hours to go until this episode comtinues! I hope everyone's ready.

>>6173620
Reaping and sowing indeed. And yes, seeing Karn's rise and introspecting once Karn was on par with him made him reconsider several of his father's policies. King Cold was afraid of too many powerful beings being drained for Majin Buu's revival, but Freeza wants a stronger empire. One strong enough that he doesn't have to handle its opponents by himself, or just obliterating their planets and killing them in the blasts.
>>6173641
That he did

I don't think you guys are ready. Chaya isn't ready either, and neither is a certain big ranch. Their challenge was made without knowledge of Saiyans or their appetites, and Krillin is quite the judge of people's character.

hwut?

>>6174005
You'll see soon enough

>>6172048
>Meloka Black hadn't found your timeline,
True. You said this before. I should have figure it out before asking that it does not seem to be possible for Zamasu from our Karn’s timeline to be in a legion already. However it may mean that he is still with Gowasu now, maybe deciding what he should do with his life. If he is there he most likely felt the power of Rose 3 perhaps even realizing that it was “other him” causing this. This might be getting very complicated and interesting. I wonder where this will go.
>yet. Somehow...
I don’t have a proof of course, but maybe there is more to it. Mechikabura has Karn’s Time Scroll with himself all the time. Maybe he took additional measures of protection using his magic to make Karn’s timeline hard to find and hard to enter.
>Glad you enjoyed, and glad to be back. Still not 100%, but I can eat, run SCQ and work so good enough.
I’m happy that you are getting better. I wish you return to full health and wellbeing.
>>6173064
>“General Karn!”
>>6173069

Nice.
>“D-Dammit.” you mutter, focusing what's left of your mind and desperately reaching out telepathically to the general. Praying he hears you. “Karn! We gotta problem! We're under attack!”
If we made a different choice here >>6170183 Cui and his team would probably be dead by now.
>>6173125
>He and West City shared the same fate.
Grim.
>Why do you think this base is made in a massive crater, and Marron's ship appeared here from leaving her timeline's West City?
So this is former West City.
>>6173944
>I don't think you guys are ready. Chaya isn't ready either, and neither is a certain big ranch.
I’m looking forward to what is coming when episode continues.

Soon

>>6174220
Yes. Curious how, all this time despite having a body with some of Karn's Berserker Soul, Meloka Black and her Time Ring couldn't find your timeline.
Cui did his best. And absolutely, that planet would have been torn asunder. You saved that world. But as for the other choices, well... You can't save everyone.
Yes, the new Red Ribbon headquarters is built atop the craterous ruins of West City, the first city to fall to King Piccolo's 'Piccolo Day' celebration.
It's going to be fun. And the Chaya epilogue will also be a good time after.

Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:

After meeting his grandaughter from another timeline Marron, saving her from Amaya Black, then showing her around his city, Karn then received a desperate call from help from Cui. Returning to the planet he'd found Marron on, Karn discovers it under attack by yet another black-wearing being impersonating another of his family, this time Meloka. However, not only was she obscenely powerful and could regenerate from damage, she showed a form far stronger than Future Chaya's Apex might. Barely managing to send her back through the void, Karn and those with him worked to help fix the damage to this world. And now, as we return to Karn, the first meeting between Chaya and Krillin, Marron's parents from her own timeline.

“Well, I-I'm not quite the same guy. But whaddya say to giving this version of me a chance?” he asks uncertainly, rubbing the back of his head with his left while holding out his right hand to Chaya. Seems he's already made up his mind on your daughter. But as you turn from him back to Chaya, you wonder how your daughter will respond? She looks uncertain, hesitant, her own hand half-outstretched. But then you notice her stump of a tail, watching it wag back and forth. Looks like she's going to go for it, even though the silence stretches on. The bald man attempts to smooth over the awkwardness of the quiet moment, pushing himself up off the table and taking her hand in both of his own. “Hey, I know. There's this little hole-in-the-wall place over in Sorth City by Route 66, has some great food, and they have this eating challenge I bet you'd love.”

“Eating challenge?” Chaya asks, her stump of a tail wagging a bit faster at this as she perks up. “What kinda challenge?”
“This steakhouse I know has a 72oz steak challenge: if you can eat the entire thing in an hour by yourself, you get the meal for free.” he says, a bit of a mischevious gleam in his eye. “Whadda ya say? Want to try it, see who can finish theirs first?”
“Smooth.” the blue-haired woman, Bulma says a bit sarcastically, smiling at the pair as Marron looks back and forth. The anticipation clear on her face for this to go well.

“Well, I guess... If you're offering, I guess it would be rude to say no.” your daughter replies, giving him a small smile. “Plus, what kind of champion would I be to turn down a challenge? Let's go.”
“Thanks for everything Bulma. We'll be back.” he says, then notices you standing there again. Suddenly his earlier bravado fades a bit, but he still stands, squaring up a bit to you. “If that's alright with you, sir?”

“Ha. You threaten her with a challenge, it's your ass.” you say jokingly, then to your daughter add in. “We'll be back home, whenever you two're finished.”
“Great. Alright, let's go. Lead the way.” your daughter says to the shorter bald man, the two heading deeper into the facility, no doubt to head directly to that place from here. Leaving you with Marron and the scientist woman Bulma. However, before any of you can speak, suddenly a wall that you hadn't realized was a door opens, the scarred man stepping out with a towel around his neck.

“You were right, the new body fits like a...” he says, stopping and freezing when he sees you and Marron, Krillin and Chaya already out of eyesight from this door. “Uhh, hey. Looks like I missed something.”
“Just missed it, Krillin got himself a date.” the woman says, you seeing the scarred man's mouth drop open in clear shock. Seems he had little faith in his comrade, in that regard. Perhaps there's a reason to this? He looks from her to Marron then to you, recognizing you and his eyes narrow back.

“So, I take it you came back to stop our attacker?” he asks, tone shifting to serious. To which you nod, the man sighing out in relief, walking over and casually smacking you on the back like you'd been friends and allies for years. “Whew, that's a relief! And here I had my doubts as to if you guys were the good guys or not!”
“Oh? And why's that?” you ask him, curious. To which, again to your surprise, he answers without hesitation.
“Come on, when have alien beings suddenly landing on your planet demanding your surrender been a GOOD thing?” he asks, which. To be fair, is a good point. How many planets had you been assigned to simply wipe out all life on, so the buyer could terraform to their heart's content?

“Fair enough.” you reply, Marron turning to Bulma and gently taking both her hands in her own.
“It was great seeing you again, I'll be by later so we can catch up some more.” Marron says, meeting the blue-haired woman's eyes.
“I'll be looking forward to it.” she says, then adds. “Also, I'll bring in what's left of your time machine. No guarantees I'll get it up and running anytime soon, but if another me built it before, I'll be able to figure it out eventually.”

“Thank you.” Marron tells her, the two sharing a knowing look before Marron releases her, turning back to you. “I'm ready.”

Well? What now?
>Head back to Cui, make sure he and his team are set before going back home
>Ask her if she wants to stay here a bit longer, if she wants you can have Cui call you directly whenever she wants to return to New Salda
>Take Marron back with you to New Salda, it's time to begin her training
>Other(write in)?
