“Sis… don’t worry. Might not be for a while, but I promise… I’ll be back.”

You poke your third pancake with your fork, the syrup soaking into it. Why’s your mind going back to this? Come on, Peppa, everything worked out. And it’s… temporary. That’s all.

…Right?

Mind goes over all that happened. Stopping Baby, the victory meal back at Capsule Corp., talking with everyone, Cocoa sticking by your side the whole time. She even asked you out on a movie and… and… hooh did it just get warmer in here?

“...You gonna finish that?” dad asks. Your fork cuts off a piece of pancake and quickly brings it into your mouth as you look at him. Goku just smiles. Kinda his way of asking if you’re okay… in addition to wondering if he’s gonna be able to steal a bite or two. Might be distracted, but still your pancakes!

“Goku, please, you’ve still got a whole stack left.” mom comments to him. Maple then glances at you. “Though you’re usually done with ‘em by now, Peppa.”

“Just a lot going through my mind, is all.” you reply after finishing the bite you took.

“Well, we did just beat Baby and everything! Heh heh!” Dad smiles happily at you.

Maple places her hands together and rests her chin on her knuckles as she looks to you. “Bulma and I are meeting with King Furry later today, we’ve got a few things we need to talk with him about. After that, I’m going to check up on Launch, Tien told me she’s been feeling exhausted ever since yesterday. If there’s still time, I’m going to check up with the folks over on Pital. We still have Basilea to deal with.”

“I’m gonna meet up with Vegeta later. Still got a LOT of questions for him.” Goku adds in. “How about you, Peppa?”

>A. Actually, I was… just hoping to spend some time with some friends today, if that’s okay with you guys
>B. I want to talk with Basilea today too, there are still some things I’d like to discuss with her
>C. Tell them about Cocoa asking you out to the movies this Thursday… and about the, uh…
>D. …Do you know if there’s a way to get the Dragon Balls working again soon?
>E. Something else?

>>3936582
>E. Hey Dad, you know how Mom's taken others under her wing? What if you did that?
>I have asked some people if they'd like to train under you, even a bad apple, but I don't know if you would be interested or not.
>B. I want to talk with Basilea today too, there are still some things I’d like to discuss with her
>E. Check to see if her gummy chummies have sprung her out yet, if not watch wrestling with her.

“I want to talk with Basilea today too, actually.” you tell them after finishing your pancake. “There are still some things I’d like to discuss with her.”

Dad crosses his arms. “Weird how she hasn’t tried to run off or somethin’ by now.”

“It’s one thing I’d like to ask her. What she plans on doing next.”

The three of you finish up breakfast… and it just feels quieter than usual. You’ve been away from home for so long now, and it felt so, so good finally resting in your own bed again. But… it’s just been quieter than usual. This lingering thought you’d hear Gohan make some snappy, snarky little remark at any moment.

Ugh. Really need to get your mind off of this. Dressed a little casually, you get ready to head off, giving Groucho a pat on the head. Before you do, though, you look to Goku. “Hey, dad, know how mom’s taken others under her wing and trained them? Have you been thinking on doing that yourself any time soon?”

He’s surprised by your question, but curiously so. “Well, sure. Just haven’t really found anyone yet though.”

“There might be a few people willing to train with you. Try talking with Tarble some time.” You give him a wink and place your fingers to your head, locking on to Basilea’s Ki. Before he can reply, you’ve teleported away, appearing in a dark room on Pital.

Basilea floats in midair above a bed in a meditative position, a soft black-red glow around her body. Even with her eyes closed, she notices you enter, brows twitching, tail flicking behind her. “Son Peppa.”

“Hey.” you greet casually.

“Baby’s dead, yes?”

Placing your hands behind your neck, you give a quick “Yep.” in reply.

A very quick, very slight smirk appears on her face. “Good. Now leave me alone.”

>A. All right. Bye!
>B. Basilea, what are you going to do now? Baby’s gone, but you’re still pretty stranded
>C. Can’t. You’ve still got things you need to answer for. Want me to start listing them?
>D. Do you think Towa’s just left you here? You seem pretty… broody and stuff. More than usual, I mean
>E. Something else?

You blink at her and stare for a beat, then shrug. “All right. Bye!” And now just gonna walk out the door. You hear her tail brush against the bed, like she’s trying to get your attention. Turning your head back and giving her a wave, you see her eyes are open, surprised, her mouth trying to open to say something. As her eyes lock with yours though, she turns her head away childishly.

https://youtu.be/1K8ZPxsA_gg

Well, if she’s gonna be like that, you’re gonna leave her alone, heading out to check back up on the lake you faced that Machine Mutant… manta… jellyfish… thing. It’s pretty late in the evening over on Pital, most of the place dark with soft, calming glows of artificial and surprisingly even natural lighting along the way. You think to check in with the mess hall again too, maybe see if it’s still open. Looks like, but it’s pretty vacant, not a lot of staff around.

When you head to the lake, you notice how eerily calm it is. The monster you fought there long gone, any trace of Baby’s nanomachines vanquished, and the memories of what happened… well, they’re healing. You think. You hope. Ugh. Rubbing your head, you start to realize just how much you’ve been through. Like it’s been a year or more since you went off to try and uncover Giru’s origins, even though it’s still summer back on Earth.

“Reflecting on some of your failures?”

Your head turns left. Basilea walks towards you. Raising an eyebrow, you comment, “Didn’t you ask to be left alone?”

“You’re not leaving.” she snipes back.

“If you want me to leave you alone, I’ll do so. If you want to talk, I’ll talk. Which is it?”

Basilea almost pouts at you. “Why did you come here?”

“To tell you Baby’s dead. You didn’t seem to actually like him. You don’t seem like you’re in a talking mood, though, so I’ll leave you alone.” Your eyes look back to the lake.

“And what could I possibly tell you? What, you want to know more about Towa, is that it?!” she barks out defensively. “Or did you come to gloat? Well go ahead, gloat! Rub it in my face that you won.”

And now your eyes are rolling so hard that it’s kinda straining them. “Are you going to be like this the entire time I’m here?”

She grumpily looks away. “…Just tell me what you want.”

>A. To talk, and maybe get you some food. Cafeteria’s still open
>B. Basilea, what do YOU want? To go back to Towa, to leave her and strike out on your own?
>C. Can you tell me more about your time?
>D. Do you really want me to leave?
>E. Something else?

>>3937006

"You know you could be a lot stronger if you trained with my Pops. He is looking for the right kind of student, maybe he can help you beat me next time?"

If I may add something to that write-in, something before we jam it in:
>E. As we're eating, "Y'know, I think I know what the deal is with hospital food: It's Free. There's none of that feeling that comes with buying something with money you earned or eating a meal you prepared yourself. The feeling of getting what you deserve from the effort you showed.
>"At that first tournament, when we met, you basically steamrolled all your opponents. And when I overcame that, you got flattened too.
>"All your power was godgiven, or devildealt. If you work at it, maybe find a teacher who works with your preferences, you can taste something better at the next tournament."
>E. "Also, get a job if you're gonna stay here, no one likes a punk mooch."

“Well, to talk, for starters. Maybe get you some food? Cafeteria’s still open.”

Basilea tries to protest. Her stomach growls, protesting her attempted protest. “…Fine.”

You sit with her as she brings back a large slab of random foods… probably everything that’s still out. Wow, she’s got an appetite that could rival yours. Maybe even dad’s. But you’re not letting it distract you. “Basilea, you’ve done some pretty terrible things. Sure you gave us some pointers on stopping Baby, but that doesn’t really cover everything you’ve done. Tell me, what do you plan to do to make up for that?”

Mid-way through chewing on a large, fried squid, she gives you a pointed glare. The demon girl then rudely slurps it up and gulps it down. “What makes you think I even want to?”

Your eyes stare at her seriously, heavy-lidded. “You know, I think I know what the deal with hospital food might be, it’s all free. Not paid for, not made with your own hands, it’s-”

She bites into the claw of some large crustacean and consumes it, exoskeleton and all, to interrupt you. “All the other food here is junk. I’d be trying something else if it weren’t for that. The fish in that lake? They taste like cough medicine. And I’m pretty sure the patients here are too drugged up on whatever medications the staff are giving them to taste any good either.”

“One, interrupting is rude. Two, I know that’s a bluff, try a little harder next time.” you lecture. “My point being here, you steamrolled everyone in the Junior Division all those years ago, when we- …well, when I first met you. Nobody could hold a challenge to you, not even Videl. Hell, even I was struggling until I managed to transform. Then the tide turned really quickly. All your power is pretty godgiven, or… well, devildealt. You’re used to getting things your way.”

“You don’t know a damn thing about what I’m used to.” Basilea snipes back.

“No? Because I’m gonna be blunt here, Basilea, your actual fighting skills are lacking. Your power’s there, sure, but none of our matches have ever shown you matching my skills. Just my strength.” Leaning back in your chair, you comment, “I bet you could fix that if you trained with someone who didn’t treat you like a blunt tool to hit problems with. My dad’s open to some students.” You then add, with a shrug, “That, or you could get a job at the very least. No one likes a punk mooch.”

A claw emptied of its flesh is thrown at you, with you dodging with ease. Basilea looks like she’s about to try and smack you for that. “Okay you bratty carpet mun-!”

“Language.” you stop her, unimpressed. “If I’m wrong, then please, educate me. Tell me what Towa does different. You did display some smarts in setting all of this up, even if you had a bit of help. And hey, you had a plan that… while I can’t say I agree with, wasn’t what I was expecting. So please, tell me more about this future you come from, and how I know nothing of what you’ve been through.”

“You see this?” Basilea tugs at the furs on her body. “This is a constant reminder to me of what ultimately happens when someone like me shows compassion, weakness. Both my father and mother paid the price for their weakness. I learned that lesson well enough.” She then slams her hands on the table. “And you think that -I- have it easy?! That -I- had my power handed to me?! Look in a damn mirror you arrogant little ape! You started off with the strongest Tuffle to ever exist as the bitch who birthed you! Your FATHER transformed into the Super Saiyan of legend before he even knew he had a brother! The damn genetic lottery, you won it several times over! You and your brother got training from some of the best and brightest martial artists to exist on your miserable little rock! You had EVERYTHING handed to you on a platter of electrum! I had to work my red ass off for Towa, hunting you and all your little friends down in my time, you peasants and low-lifes who SHOULD be beneath me. Serving that abominable would-be ‘Emperor’ in finding the Dragon Balls is just one more thing I had to endure.”

“So what, that’s it, you’re envious of my lot in life compared to yours?” you retort.

“I’m aware of just how stacked everything is in your favor. You’re clearly not. Don’t try to lecture me otherwise, Son Peppa.” She sits back down. “I’ve been forced to train and endure humiliations beyond you. You’ve had it easy. Me? I’ve had to get stronger and stronger to even HOPE of claiming my birthright. Especially when I have to go up against that… THAT…” She seethes and mumbles out swears under her breath alongside some other words. You hear something that sounds like… well, it’s either a name or her self-censoring herself, and she’s not really the type to do that.

>A. Well, it’s clear to me now then. Towa’s been holding you back
>B. …Basilea, I’m sorry, I don’t mean that as an insult to you, I’m just trying to see where you’re coming from
>C. Can you help me learn, then? About you, about them, about everything you’ve had to endure?
>D. Do you have a rival besides me, Basilea?
>E. Something else?

>>3937271
>B.
>C.
>D.

>>3937271
>E. True enough. My mom and dad are strong. Weren't born that way. Sometimes I do think I won the genetic lottery, that all that's special about me is that my hair can go gold, go gold even more, and go gold even longer. So that's why I want to do what's unique, make this strength my own, and prove I'm more than just the product of my parents.
>Does that make sense?

>>3937271
>A. Pffft, Towa has all of space and time to look through and she still couldn't find you a decent teacher. That's hilarious.
>E. Pinch her tail with a claw, "Crabby claw for a crabby girl."

>E."I'm not Future Peppa, by the way. How can I show you that I'm my own person?"

And if it's status you're worried about, the other students up for consideration are the Prince Presumptive of the Saiyans and Emperor of the PTO.

You sigh softly. “Basilea, listen, I didn’t mean that as an insult towards you, I just want to see where you’re coming from.”

She snorts and chomps down on something that looks like salmon, her face freezing up, the demon girl gagging and spitting it out. She looks at the fish meat with disgust, then just… tosses it over her shoulder, smacking another chair with it. “Why? You seem to be sooooo astute and smart, you’re already trying to figure me out.”

Okay, if this is the game she’s gonna play. “Well, I’ve got one thing figured out, that’s for sure. It’s all clear to me now. Basilea? Towa’s holding you back.”

Unimpressed with your deduction, she pulls up what… look like frog legs, though with a shape that reminds you of a sort of branched starfish, and takes a bite. “Explain yourself.”

“She’s making you strong, yes, but she’s also stunting you. Trying to keep you from getting too strong, too out of her control. Probably trying to keep you from ending up too much a challenge for anyone else who she might want to see as ruler of the Demon Realm. Keeping you from developing more skills might be a way to do that. Make you feel stronger, but keep you on a tight leash that she can manage. Let me guess, a few token legacy moves from your gramps and pops, make you think you’re on your way to earning your birthright, but little else.” You rest your chin on your palm. “How close am I?”

She glares at you as she angrily eats the starfish-frog legs. “And what do you think you’re going to gain by convincing me that I’m on the wrong team, or whatever you’re doing?”

And now you’re pinching the ridge of your nose. For the love of… “Maybe I just want to understand you better, is that really so hard to believe?”

“You seem to think you understand me plenty already! You’re no different than-!” Basilea stops herself. “...Forget it.”

Your hands fall to your lap. You look to her reassuringly. “…Basilea. I’m not her. I know it might be hard for you to see that, but I’m really not. Please, trust me on this. I want to learn more about you, can you help me with that?”

She looks down, you feeling someone approaching, though your mind’s focused on her. “Just… ask your stupid question already.”

“Okay, let’s start with this, then. I’m getting the impression you have a rival besides me, someone competing for your ‘birthright’ that Towa’s training alongside you. What’s their name?”

“...His name is Fu. He is Towa’s son. My cousin.” Basilea replies quietly-WAIT WHAT?!

“Towa’s WHAT?!” you exclaim. What? WHAT?!

“Son. Try to keep pace.” she snarkily remarks. “The child of her and Mira.”

“Guess she finally did get over me.” mom’s voice calls out.

Basilea’s attention turns to her. She then pointedly ignores your mother being there. “Just as I have claim to the throne, so does Towa’s boy. Mine is more direct, but Fu is… he’s starting to become Dabura’s favorite.”

“So is… is he a bit like you, or Towa, or…?”

“Honestly he reminds me of your mother, in the worst of ways.”

Maple facepalms. “Towa…”

“Maybe her dialed up to 11 is a better way to put it. He has power comparable to even Mira, but he barely has to work for it, allowing him time for his… experiments.”

>A. And you feel like you have to prove yourself, else he’ll take what you have left?

“Heeeey, mom? Can you leave us for just a bit? Please? I know you’ve probably got as many questions as I do, but…” Not a Spirit Bit…

Maple smiles and nods. “Okay sweetie. I’ll be nearby though, want to talk with a few doctors.”

“Thank you.” Attention back to Basilea again. “So, not gonna lie, your cousin sounds like a huuuuuge nerd. And Towa having a child with her creation is… ick.”

She tries very hard not to smile at that remark. Tries. Hides it through food. “Fu is a damn nerd. He wears glasses.”

“Like Pantea?”

“Those nerd glasses are at least functional, his are these ugly yellow things he thinks make him look cool.” she responds disdainfully.

“So, he’s given special treatment, while you have to work for every scrap you can get… and there’s Towa probably intentionally trying to hold you back. So you feel like you need to prove yourself, else you’ll lose what you have left?”

“You say it like you understand a damn thing about what it feels like.” Basilea growls at you.

“Not as you do, no. What does Fu think of you, though, of us?”

“He has this… arrogant, childish attitude to him. Like he has a bunch of priceless toys he wants to play with. He doesn’t see your group as I do. Probably not even as Towa does.” She… digs some meat out of her teeth with her finger. “If he does understand better… he might just choose not to.”

“So, guessing him helping either you or us is off the table. Help from Fu is… futile.” You give her a wide smile, trying to see if that got a reaction. She just chomps down something that looks like a cold pizza. Oh well. Leaning back again you try to take in all this information. Ugh. Still not… not liking this revelation that Towa has a kid with her own creation. “You do have people who want to help you, personally, though, don’t you? Those two girls who were with you, the gummy chummies who’ve been by your side, Haru Haru and Shun Shun.”

“...Towa had them assigned to me. They did… help me out, but now that I’ve failed, they’ll probably be charged with another assignment.” The pile of food in front of her mostly gone, Basilea takes some hard fruits and stands, leaving the dishes and leftovers at the table. She looks like she wants to leave.

>A. Hey. Pick up your dishes
>B. Better pick up after her, can’t leave a mess out like this
>C. Mom, can you get the dishes for us? Feel like I’m having a bit of a breakthrough here

You take a few dishes up as she starts to leave. “Hey. Come on. Don’t just leave these here.”

She glances back at you like you’re out of your mind. “…What?”

“I’ll help, but you gotta pick up.”

Basilea blinks. “…You’re serious.”

“Why wouldn’t I be?” You casually bring some of the trash to a bin, tossing it away, then putting some of the plates you gathered where they’re supposed to go.

Basilea keeps staring. “Why? This is peasant work.”

“Because you’re not a slob. Come on, I’ll help.”

Begrudgingly, acting like this is some form of punishment, Basilea gives some very token attempts at cleaning up after herself, grumbling the ENTIRE time. Like a little kid being told to brush her teeth. With that done, Basilea heads outside again, her eyes staring up at the night sky. “You’re not my ally, Son Peppa. Don’t think this has changed that.”

“Interesting way to say you don’t think of me as an enemy.” Your tail sways behind you as you stick your hands into your pockets. “…Well, what do you think Towa’s going to do next, as far as you’re concerned? Does she have plans for you still?”

“...Most likely. I still failed, but I’m family to her and my grandfather. She’ll have a plan for me… even if it means I’m one step closer to losing my claim.” Eyes fixed on the night sky, she spreads her arms out. “The Towa of this time still has her ultimate goal, a goal she accomplished in mine. Putting control of the Demon Realm back into the hands of its rightful ruler. Beelzebub’s time in control will draw to a close.”

“You sure you should be telling me that?” you ask.

“Oh please, you knew she was planning that. What, do I have to tell you water is wet next?” she snorts.

“So what plans do YOU have now? Where do you want to go, what do you want to do?”

She… is at a loss for words. Finally breaking eye contact with the sky above her, Basilea lowers her arms and looks to you with a genuine, sad, and almost lost look on her face. “…If you want me to be honest? I just want to go home. Baby’s dead, my mission’s a bust, and my frien-” She stops herself once more. “…My allies probably won’t be seeing me again any time soon. I have no reason to stay here. And no, don’t try and say I should train with your father. My own is completely ready to end me, even though…” Her fists clench tight.

“...What about your mother?”

Basilea opens her mouth to say something you know would be disparaging given the look on her face, but she holds her tongue. She says nothing in response other than, “I’m tired, and I want to leave.”

Almost without warning, with mom yelling to you to look out, two figures teleport in between you and Basilea. “Sorry we’re late, B!” the green gum girl calls out, readying a fighting stance as she stands between you and the demon girl. “Time Patrol’s on our tail, been looking for a chance to lose them. Peppa! You stay away from her, you hear!”

“Sh-Shun-Shun?” Basilea looks down at the green girl in disbelief, then to the purple one beside her. “Haru-Haru? You two- wait, what was that about Time Patrol?”

Beside your mother teleports in a much taller, much pinker gum lady flanked by two other people. One shorter than her, like maybe just a bit shorter than Videl, with black hair… and possessing a tail. The other seems to be a young woman with long blue hair in a deep red Capsule Corp. jacket, black undershirt and matching black boots with black thigh-highs, red shorts and a waist cape matching her jacket, and most telling of all a sword on her back. Both her and the pink lady you’d be able to recognize easily. Bra and Buula! “So, this is where you’ve been hiding her?”

“Hiding? Wait, no, she wasn’t hiding, we-!” you try to protest.

“You keep your filthy hands off her you goody two-shoes!” Shun-Shun shouts at Buula.

The girl with the tail gets into a defensive stance, glaring VERY angrily at Basilea. Basilea returns it, getting into a defensive stance as well. She lets out a growling “YOU.” as her tail sways behind her. This girl feels… familiar. She’s in a red and black gi with yellow pads over her shoulders, an orange headband and yellow belt done up as a bow. There’s this look on her face like she’s just… extremely tired and yet filled with a cold fury.

“Haru-Haru, Shun-Shun, Basilea, we’re taking you all in.”

“I don’t think so! We finally found her, and we are rescuing this princess! Even if we have to fight ALL of you to do it! We’re gonna get her out of here!” Shun-Shun continues to protest.

“Bra, Buula, wait!” mom calls to them. “Everyone, hold in a second!” The black-haired girl seems to flinch when she hears your mother’s voice, then flinch again when she sees you. “Let’s not start a fight right next to this hospital!”

It finally connects. You move away from Basilea’s group and towards Buula’s, calmly to help ease the tension between the two groups, looking over this… older girl. This… older you. She acknowledges you with a sad smile. “Hey… me.”

A good question to ask.

And now, we are back!

>>3937652
“So has THIS been your game the whole time?!” Basilea yells at you furiously. “Get me to lower my guard and have them apprehend me?!”

“What? No! No, I-!”

“I don’t know exactly what game you’ve been playing here, but you’re done.” the older Peppa declares to Basilea. “It’s over! You gonna come quietly, or am I gonna have to beat your ass and drag you back?”

Okay this is already weird. Do… do you really sound like that? Even if she’s supposed to be older that sounds… just, weird. Like when you’re talking on a recording but a bit higher pitched. Gah! No! FOCUS! “HOLD ON! This is one big misunderstanding!”

“Buula, Bra, wait!” Mom stands beside you, trying to get them to calm down. “Peppa!”

She flinches again. The twins protecting Basilea are a little confused, but they seem ready to leave. Buula’s head locks on to the pair of them. “Maple, we need to apprehend them before they get away again!”

“Get away?” Basilea’s aura surges up. “You think I was hiding from you you Majin bitch?! AND YOU!” Basilea points hatefully at your counterpart. “I should have known you’d follow me! Your even more annoying little counterpart should have tipped me off!”

The other Peppa gets this… intense look on her face. “So you wanted to mess with her again, even after her world finally got to enjoy some peace? No more! Not happening EVER again!”

>A. All right, hold on, don’t leave just yet!
>B. Basilea, get out of here!
>C. Calm down, please! We can’t start fighting here!
>D. Don’t let this get even worse than it already is, Clothes Beam both groups to hold them back

Cooperating with Baby violates this ruling by bring shame on Earth and maybe Makai."

“All right, hold on, don’t leave just yet!” you call out to Basilea’s group, but then stand between them and the Time Patrollers, taking a protective stance between them and Basilea specifically. “Everybody, calm down, please! We can’t start fighting here!”

“Fighting? They’re going to get away!” the alternate you calls out.

Right as they look like they’re about to teleport off, you pull out two lollipops you grabbed from a little basket at reception, removing the wrappers and tossing them at the twins in one quick motion. “Tenkaichi Budokai charter, finals, article 3: the final winner of the Battle Royale will be awarded the title of ‘Champion of Earth,’ ‘Strongest Under the Heavens.’” You point your thumb at your chest. “As Earth’s Champion, I have a responsibility to protecting the Earth. And as a fellow Earthling, Basilea falls under my protection too. She still has things she needs to answer for, yes, but I’m afraid I can’t let you guys just run off with her.”

The alternate Peppa looks at you with surprise, the intense look on her face fading a bit, even recognizing those lines slightly… though not exactly as those of the Tournament’s rulebook. Buula raises an eyebrow, her stance easing. “Okay. What the hell are you doing?”

“She’s trying to keep all of you starting a brawl in the middle of a hospital!” Maple replies, pointing at the Majin girl. “Just as I am.”

Looking back to Basilea, you continue, “You signed your consent to the rules of the Budokai Tenkaichi under the name 'Devil Mask,' and-”

“You can stop quoting dad’s show, me. I get what you’re trying to do.” Her tail sways and lashes slightly, the intensity returning to her face but without as much of the hostility you saw before. “Why are you protecting her?”

“Because everyone’s just kinda rushing to a fight when we really, really don’t need to.” You hold your arms out. “Now, can you start explaining things?”

Buula crosses her arms, then nods to Bra and Future Peppa. “All right. We have been trying to keep interventions to this timeline to a minimum, while still attempting to apprehend these Time Breakers. We’d located them a couple times, but they’re rather slippery. Seeing Basilea was on this world for some time meant she might not have a means of escaping. We suspect they were likewise responsible for a massive influx of Negative Energy from this point in time that was thrust into the space between time.”

…Uh-oh.

Basilea actually eases upon hearing that, tilting her head as she looks at you. “…Well?”

>A. And you weren’t able to find her sooner, why, exactly?
>B. She was working with Baby, but both him and some of the Machine Mutants that were working with him are gone now
>C. Thaaaaat… was my bad, sorry. Basilea, we should tell them about the Black Star Dragon Balls you were trying to collect and what happened to them
>D. Something else?

>>3938705
>D. ...heh. AhahahahAHAHAHA! That was me! I'm bad in this timeline. Or maybe I'm good in this timeline, and bad to the rest of the timelines. I guess that makes this timeline the Pariah. Really makes ya think.

You gulp and rub the back of your neck. “Eheh, well… about that…”

“Yes. About that.” Basilea actually moves forward, causing the Time Patrollers to bring up their guards again.

“Thaaaaaat… was my bad, sorry.” The trio of Time Patrollers look at you in shock. Glancing up at the red demon girl, you comment, “Basilea, we should clear up everything for them, tell them what you were trying to do with the Black Star Dragon Balls, and everything involving Baby.”

“She doesn’t have to explain a damn thing to you!” Shun-Shun dashes in front of you… lollipop still in her mouth. “Or any of them for that matter!”

“But I will. Because it sounds like you messed up, Son Peppa.”

“Hey, don’t act like you’re some innocent party in all this!” you grumble at her. “Anyway, from the top…”

And so you and Basilea go over everything. From you getting that letter from her, showing she was after the Dragon Balls, to her collecting them with the help of the Machine Mutants, helping spread some of them to civilian populations. Even involving Tarble, Kuriza, the Galactic Patrol, and more in her scheme to gather up all the dead galaxy’s Black Star Dragon Balls, and what her eventual goal with all of them ended up being. Overloading every other set of Dragon Balls with Negative Energy and doing what happened to the dead galaxy to the rest of the cosmos. Which in turn leads to how you stopped it, making a wish on the Black Star Dragon Balls yourself.

“That’s when I asked the Denuen to remove all the negative energy from the Dragon Balls and shunt both it and all the Black Star Dragon Balls away forever. They went into this big, chasm-like void with these huge crystals in it-”

“Ugh.” Buula smacks her face. “That would explain it. But that means we’ll have to deal with it soon…”

“So, do you know what that place is?” Maple asks her.

“The Chasm of Time. A place that… in a way isn’t supposed to exist. The Supreme Kai of Time sealed away a powerful, dangerous being outside of time about 75 million years ago, a threat to time itself. The greatest among our ranks managed to defeat that thing, but with all that Negative Energy built up in there… it’s going to cause problems. Problems we’ll need to fix.”

Slouching and looking at her apologetically, you ask, “So… where does that leave you now? Basilea didn’t do it, it was my fault, and-”

“And from the sound of things she was still up to her old tricks.” the older Peppa comments. “Couldn’t handle facing us anymore and you took it out on her?”

“Don’t act like you know me.” Basilea hisses in response.

“I know what you think about me.” Her eyes narrow as her tail sways behind her. “And from the sound of things you kept up the petulant child act around her. Let me guess, you gave some big, long, infuriated rant when you were captured pointing out all the ‘flaws’ you saw in her group. Am I wrong?”

You force yourself not to chuckle. “Weeeeell…”

Basilea glares at her. “You know, she took it a lot better than YOU ever did.”

And there’s that animosity coming back and… wow does that intense look on your counterpart’s face just look so eerie to you.

>A. Are you still going to try to take her in, Buula?
>B. Basilea, what do you want to do now? Return home, stay here, or let them take you?
>C. Can, um, we talk for a bit, future me?

To try and get your counterpart and Basilea from fighting again, you ask Buula, “Do you guys need help dealing with the Black Star Dragon Balls and the Negative Energy and everything in that Time Chasm, then? I mean, it is kinda my fault you even have to deal with it in the first place…”

“We’ll keep the offer in mind, but for now, you should stick to this timeline.” she explains.

“Were you really that busy that you couldn’t apprehend them sooner?” Maple questions. “And I don’t mean that you’re slacking, heck, we were able to stop all of them ourselves… more or less. Just, what’s been going on with you guys?”

“Personally, it’s been less than a week since I got done dealing with Babidi and Buu in my timeline.” Bra comments. “And when I get to the Time Patrol, Freeza and Cooler were attacking their main base. Had to round them up. Also for some reason they were stealing track suits? Not… sure what that was about.”

“If I see another tracksuit in my life I’m setting it on fire.” Buula grumbles. “But, yes.”

“Woah woah woah, Freeza?” you and mom exclaim together. “And Cooler too?”

“Ones from another timeline, don’t worry too much about that.” Buula waves her hand to dissuade your worries. “Only after that was all wrapped up were we able to check in on you guys. Boss was most worried about the Negative Energy, so Bra and I started some investigations into it. Upon learning Basilea was involved…”

“I asked to join immediately, the moment I heard it from Gohan. She’s messed with your timeline before. If I’m able I’m not going to let her do that again. Not after all of you managed to prevent the worst from happening.” your counterpart declares.

“Making up for your own screw-ups?” Basilea asks her snidely.

Crossing her arms and giving Basilea a frigid glare, she asks, “So how badly did you get your ass beat here? You got captured by a younger me, failed your mission, and-”

“And you did none of it. What’s it like, knowing you’re not only going to be in Gohan’s shadow forever, but now, even your own?” The demon girl looks down her nose at the older you.

You’re… not sure how you should take that. Was that her attempt at a compliment towards you, or just an insult towards her. Either way they’re at it again and oh god it’s going to keep happening. Break it up, quick! “Basilea, what do you want to do now? Return home like you said, with your friends? Stay here and try to make up for what you’ve done wrong? Or let them take you and face their judgement?”

“I…” Basilea takes a step back, looking at Haru-Haru and Shun-Shun.

“Come on, B! Let’s blow this joint!” Shun-Shun yells out.

“Wait! Don’t you even think about it!” Buula gets ready to dash at them.

“...Peppa.” Basilea closes her eyes.

“Yes?” you and your counterpart answer, then look to each other awkwardly.

“Give me one hour to answer that. Haru-Haru, Shun-Shun, I thank you for your attempt to rescue me. But I… I want you to trust me on this. I need to talk with the two of you as well.”

“But B! You know what Towa will do if you’re not back!” Shun-Shun declares.

“And that’s why I ask for this. One hour.”

The purple twin of the pair gives her a soft smile. “As you wish, Princess Basilea. One hour.”

The older Peppa looks at her in disbelief. Buula and Bra are suspicious, but the pink girl seems to be willing to give her this chance. “One hour. Don’t go anywhere. We’ll know if you do.”

There’s still tension in the air, but you and mom approach the other Peppa. The intensity in her eyes fades just a bit. “…Hey.”

“Hey. So… can we talk for a bit, future me? I’m sure you’ve got as many questions as I have.”

She nods. “Yeah. For a bit.”

>A. Ask her about what everyone’s like in her time!
>B. So… what did Basilea do to you? You’re SUPER on-edge and a lot of it just seems to stem from her
>C. Could… talk about some relationships. Basilea hinted at hers going… bad, and you’re probably one of the few she’d be willing to talk about them with
>D. Digging the outfit, actually, what did you base it on?
>E. Something else?

All right folks, that's all for tonight! Gonna be doing things a little different here, leaving the vote open until we continue tomorrow, which we’ll be doing starting ~5:30 pm PST. I’ll be around for a bit for questions and stuff. Did y’all have fun?

>>3939233
Have a good night!

>>3939233
Thanks for running, Kato! Pretty near seeing this alternate Peppa.

>B.
We've heard hints before, but let's get it right from her. Basilea knew her, something happened between them, and now she looks like she's out for blood.
>C.
But do so tactfully, don't just blurt things out. Bring up the chats with Keli, the post-tournament date, all the worries. Then, if she's okay with all of it, ask for some advice.
>E.
Twofold question: ask her if there's anything she would like to tell us, any advice or directions she'd like to give. Then, ask her if there's anything SHE wants to ask us. From training and techniques to even simple things like shows and games. She seems to be very focused on this world being more peaceful, so let's offer to show her some of the results of that.

>>3939233
>E. So... you killed her dog? What the hell?

>>3939233
>B.
>C.
>E.
"Did you guys have to fight Baby and Hatchiyak?"

>>3939233
>B. "What could make someone so sensible and attractive act so single-mindedly?"

>C. Find out what makes Basilea spit epithets like sunflower seed shells. Maybe let Time Pepptrol know you've found someone special and it is actually working out pretty well.

>E. Try to delicately probe what led this Peppa away from sticking close to family into this wild multiversal Time Patrol situation.

Hooh. Fair warning, this is a long one, but now, we are back!

>>3939233
You and your counterpart sit together on a bench overlooking a pond, Buula keeping an eye on Basilea as she talks with the Majin twins. Mom and Bra catch up some too, with the blue-haired girl curious about Vegeta, and Maple more than happy to give her the full story on what happened with him recently. So, that leaves you and… you.

“God, where do I even start?” you wonder aloud.

Glancing at Basilea briefly, she comments, “Could start with me and her. I’m a little surprised you tried to stand up for her myself.”

“All right. So… what DID Basilea do to you? Because you are SUPER on-edge and a lot of it seems to stem from her. What could make someone so sensible and attractive act so… I dunno, single-mindedly?” You tap your chin with your finger.

She snort-laughs at that, not quite expecting the compliment. “Saying something like that is just a little vain, isn’t it?”

“Question stands.” You cross your arms. “What’s the deal?”

https://youtu.be/OFIW0seuou8

“We… first met when I was a bit younger than you are now. I tried being nice to her, and while kinda… haughty and selfish, she tolerated me for a while. Almost came to see me as a friend. Then something… just happened to her. Most likely Towa scolding and indoctrinating her, but… to me, it was just so sudden. She actively tried to hurt all of us as much as she could, and I’d be the one who’d try to stop her every time. Wasn’t… always successful at that. Gohan would have to bail me out sometimes. One time she went after Videl, gloating about how easy it all was, and how soon Baby would find us thanks to her, and… and I just snapped.” The older Peppa looks down into the water. “I beat her mercilessly. I had enough of her demeaning us, of her sadism and I just… I didn’t stop. Gohan kept calling to me, but I didn’t listen. I kinda… lost control, and it went from me just trying to stop her, to me trying to make her suffer.”

You feel yourself sink back a bit. Might not have gone that far, but… this is ringing a few bells for you. Right when you felt Gohan… felt Gohan die. That… probably gave her some flashbacks. “…Videl, huh?”

She flinches. “I… said some dumb things when I started beating Basilea. Things that I only made worse afterward. Videl was… not exactly receptive to how I felt about her. I saw this… this fear in her eyes. Arguments started, between me and her, and then me and Gohan, and finally me and everyone. It felt like nobody was taking my side, everyone was turning against me. And this nagging bit in my mind told me it was all her fault.” Your counterpart shakes her head. “I rashly went out on my own. I… I just kept blaming everything on her, and I wanted to put a stop to her. For good.” She then gets… real quiet.

“...Didn’t go so well?” you ask hesitantly.

She shakes her head. “No. They kinda… had to drag me back kicking and screaming, barely holding on. It was a trap. No one-on-one like my mind convinced me she wanted. I got ambushed and nearly taken by Baby’s forces. All the while she was mocking me and calling me a failure… among, well, less polite things.”

“Feh, yeah, she’s got a tendency towards that.” You rub the back of your neck.

“I’ve… never really forgiven her for any of that. And when Gohan told me she’d been in your timeline too, I just… I didn’t want her to repeat with you what happened to me.” Placing her hands together, a soft but melancholic smile appears on her face. “Gohan never told mom why I never joined him and Pantea, did he?” A shake of your head is all she needs to continue. “I just… couldn’t face her. Not until I knew I’d gotten over myself.”

“And Videl?” You’re probably one of the few people she’s willing to talk to about this fully. Really should let her.

Future Peppa nods, replying quietly. “Yeah. It… stung. Still stings a bit when I think about it. It was like our friendship was tarnished, and it was all on me. Took years to rebuild some of that trust. Just… all I’d been through, all she’d been through, and then rejection on top of it all, all of it went pretty bad.”

“Did… did Basilea ever show… interest?” you ask hesitantly. “Because she seems a bit too specific with her insults sometimes. Feels like a bit of projecting, if you ask me.”

“Even if she did at some point, I’d want nothing to do with her.” Tilting her head, some of the tension on her face fades, eyes not as cold or intense as before, but still very tired. “So. What’s her name?”

https://youtu.be/YDby9c3hnGM

“E-eh?”

“You know mine. I wanna know yours. Who’ve you got a crush on?” She pats your shoulder reassuringly.

Bashfully, you poke your hands together and smile, blushing. “…Cocoa. Cocoa Amaguri. And… it’s not just crush. She’s my… my girlfriend.”

Your counterpart’s a little surprised by that. “Wow. Really?”

“Y-yeah. We’re actually going to have our third date this Thursday.”

The hand on your shoulder gives it a gentle squeeze. “Good for you.”

“...She’s not alive in your timeline, is she?” You glance at her.

With a sigh, Future Peppa gives a low, “No… she… she didn’t make it.” Yet, she keeps smiling. “Don’t focus on that, though. I’d like to know more.”

“Heh, where to start? Oh, actually, see, there were these ninja…”

“Ninja?”

“Yeah! Ninja! After the Dragon Balls! And you see…”

You recount everything from that point, how you started to realize your feelings for Cocoa were more than just those of friendship, how you talked with Keli about them and how she encouraged and supported you, how you worried you went a bit too quickly with her and how you… kinda embarrassed her during her play. But your friends and family supported you. And… well, now you’ve had your first kiss. There’s a warmth on your counterpart’s face that you can tell hasn’t really been there in quite a while as she listens to you.

“…And well, that’s that. Our world is at peace. For now. Sure there’s still Towa out there and probably some other threat on the horizon, but Baby’s dead. Vegeta and I made sure of that.” Leaning back, you ask her, “What about all of you? You beat Baby and Hatchiyak and them, right?”

“Gohan did, yeah. We helped, but it was him who finally put Baby down. Hell of a thing to see, the person who’d been trying so damn hard to capture the lot of us, who held such power over all of us, finally stopped. His tyrannical regime toppled once and for all. And…” She looks to Buula, who’s definitely been listening in, and then shakes her head when your counterpart is about to add something to that. “…Anyway. I’m glad. Glad everything’s working out for you. Glad it was Gohan and Pantea who went back.”

Resting your cheek on your chin, you ask, “Still some tension with all of them, huh? That another reason why you’re with these Time Patrollers?”

“Not… exactly. Sure, some tension’s still there, though the oldest wounds have finally healed, I think. But personally, I just wanna… move on from things, I guess. Our time’s finally able to know peace. I want to try something new, find my own path.”

“Say I want to try and find MY own path. Any advice on that?” you ask. “I’ve got some ideas of my own, sure, but… hey, your perspective is one I’d really like to know.”

“Heh… well. Maybe a few things. Don’t try to take the weight of the world on your shoulders. Allow yourself time to enjoy life. And…” Future Peppa takes a deep breath. “Protect her, but don’t smother her. Be her partner, as much her friend as you were before, just… moreso. You’re lucky to have someone like her. And… she’s lucky to have someone like you. Cherish that and let the both of you grow together.”

“Thank you.” You give her a hug. “So… one last thing. Is there anything you’ve wanted to ask me? Training, techniques, hell, what shows or games I like! Come on, I know you’ve gotta be a little curious.”

She laughs. “Okay, I’ll bite. Games, shows?”

“Ahem!” You clear your throat, and with your best singing voice, start off, “I wanna be, the very best!~” You pause to let her continue the lyric.

“...Like no one ever was?” she continues, surprised.

“To catch them is my real test!~”

“To train them is my cause. Heh.”

And then the pair of you continue, singing the full song, high-fiving at the end. “Heck yeah! Oh wow, you probably don’t have anything past Gen… 2? 3? Aaaaah, there are even more now! And later this year we’re gonna get remakes of Gen 2! Oh wow, and I bet you never played Drill Dozer, or Brawl, or Okami, or-!”

“Slow down, slow down! Haha!” She raises her hands. “Actually… have you managed Telekinesis yet?”

“Ehhhh… no, not really. Just never got around to it.” you admit.

“Tell you what. Mom’s not let you skip out on Equivalent Exchange, right? You share a technique with me you think would help, and I’ll teach you.”

Ooh, there’s an idea…

“Okay! Have YOU figured out Ki mines?” you ask your counterpart.

“Ki… mines?” She raises an eyebrow.

“OOOH! Well now I gotta show you! Come on!” Your hand grabs her wrist as you stand, leading her away. Once you get a good distance away from the hospital, you form a small orb of Ki in your hand. You then toss it at the ground, but instead of exploding, it digs into it a bit. You then back away, waiting for a moment, and then letting it detonate, a small explosion leaving a baseball-sized hole in the ground.

“Huh. A bit like mom’s Spirit Bits, then?”

You grin wide at her. “Sorta! The trick is setting them just right so they’ll detonate when a foe comes along. But you can adjust how strong they are, just gotta keep a little focus on them. Come on, give it a try!”

And so you both get to teaching one another, you impressing your counterpart quite a bit as you show off the Ki Mines, getting into when you used them against Videl in the Tournament. What’s more, she seems to pick up on them with ease. Heh. Might be from another timeline, but… well, you’re still “you” even with all the differences. That said, you’re curious…

“So, why Telekinesis? Ain’t that more of a long-range technique? I guess there are some more practical benefits, but are you sure that’s the one you wanna go with?”

Future Peppa looks at you curiously, then gives a little wave of her hand. A large, soft, apple-like fruit of some kind clonks you on the head. Ow! You look up, and see you’re under a tree full of them. “Well, among other things, it allows you to grab things from afar. Can call for your Power Pole and pull it right back to you. It also actually helps your reflexes.”

Still rubbing your head, you ask, “Wait, really?”

“Yep. Subtle bits of Telekinetic control for your limbs, in addition to helping you get a better feel for your surroundings. Something mom figured out when she was younger.”

“Huh. Yeah that is pretty useful.” Damn, really should have tried this before.

“Indeed.” She smirks. Another oversized apple falls, but you move out of the way this time. “Hey, you’re learning already.”

It’s a bit harder, but you do manage to get some very basic bits understood. Definitely room for improvement, but now you know some Ki-based telekinesis, even picking up one of those apples she dropped. Woohoo! “Heh, of course, those Ki mines aren’t the only thing I’ve been able to manage. You ever learn the Super Kaio-ken?”

“’Super’ Kaio-ken?” she repeats.

“Using it while in Super Saiyan!”

Narrowing her eyes, she comments, “Wouldn’t that… you know, kinda kill you?”

“I mean if you overuse it then yeah, but dad and I have managed something with it. I’ve even taken it a bit further. Applied the idea of it without completely tapping into it when transformed, instead using it to kinda overclock the power of a Super Saiyan.” With a cool, confident smirk, you tell her, “I call it… Limit Breaker.”

“And that’s what you used to beat Baby?” she asks.

“Mhmm! That, and I kicked Vegeta’s butt with it.” you add.

“Heh, I’ll keep that in mind.”

You place your hands behind your neck as you walk towards her, tail swaying behind you. “Say… you, um, want a console to bring back? And some games? It’ll help whenever you get bored. And… well, maybe serve as a little reminder of what you and everyone managed to accomplish.”

Softly smiling, she nods. “I’d like that, but what-?”

“Okay, be RIGHT back!” Placing your fingers on your forehead, you try and find one of the game store clerks you know, especially since stores should be open by now. Let’s see… where… AHA! You’re gone for about 10 minutes, grabbing a handful of games and a brand new DS Lite, teleporting back and handing them to her in a Capsule case. “Here you go! I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of them.”

Looking down at the Capsule, her eyes water a little. She mutters out a low “Thanks.” and puts it in her pocket.

The two of you are called back. Seems Basilea’s made her choice. Her eyes stare daggers into your counterpart as she approaches, though they’re far more neutral when looking at you. “…I’m not going to pretend that you all apprehending me is something I’d allow, Time Patrollers. But… I’m not in favor of just listening to Towa’s every whim. I won’t stay here. I’m going to return to my own time.”

Buula, Bra, and the other you all look at her angrily, ready to tackle her down if she tries to escape. “And keep trying to mess with this timeline?” Future Peppa asks her coldly.

“No.” Basilea replies surprisingly. “Peppa. I’ll take what you said to heart. I am going to train. I still want to show you that you should never take me lightly. But you have my word that I am not going to try something like this again. And if Towa takes issue with that… I’ll become capable enough to make sure she can’t force me to do so.”

Buula skeptically glares at her. “And these two are just going to go along with this?”

“Eh, we’re here to rescue our Princess. So long as we keep her from your filthy hands, we’re happy.” Shun-Shun replies, sticking out her blue tongue, placing her hand on Basilea’s thigh. “Towa’s probably going to have some plans for us, but we’ll respect Basilea’s decision, so long as it means us leaving with her.”

“I don’t trust your word even the slightest bit.” the taller you tells Basilea. “But I guess I’m not the one you’re directing it towards.” She looks at you. “It’s on you… Peppa. Are you okay with this?”

Well... hmm...

Teasing, then serious.
>You know, I really do have it good in this world. The skills I've learned, the strength I've earned, the friends I've made... they're all because other people worked to make this the Best of all possible worlds. I have Bra and your Gohan and Pantea to thank for that. And the other one, Tree? Victor? Whatever his name was.
>And the other time traveler who made this the Best timeline. Granted, she keeps trying to make it the Worst timeline, but all her warnings, some of her many criticisms, and just all around unpleasantness, she served as a negative example of one who does things on their own to prove a point, who only acts on anger, and the pointlessness of making others suffer when those she targets aren't the ones who did anything wrong.

“One condition. You promise to leave her alone too. I’ve got the full story from you both. I see both sides to this. And I don’t want you messing with her or anyone close to her again.” Crossing your arms, you explain, “Agreeing to this also means you get more time to focus on training yourself. And that means you can further your own goals. So, we have a deal?”

Giving one last glare at your counterpart, Basilea closes her eyes and sighs out, “Deal.”

“Good! Now, Universal Greeting Dance and handshake to accept it!” you declare.

Basilea lets out a flat “What.”

Buula actually smirks at that, somehow completely aware of what you’re about to do. “You heard her.”

“Repeat after me! Ah-he-hem!” You raise and lower your arms, palms forward to Basilea, thumbs covering your index and pinky fingers, then extend all but your middle and thumb, then clench the index, middle, and ring fingers with your thumb and pinky out, shaking your hands as you wave them and skipping in place, and finally finish with your hands forward like you’re about to high-five her, left leg bent at the knee. “Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong!” Maple looks at you with pride, eyes watering up like she’s about to cry, even giving you a supportive clap.

“That is the absolute dumbest thing I have ever seen.” she states, tone still flat and blank, more like she’s commenting on an easily observable fact.

“What, don’t think you can do it?” your counterpart asks with a snarky, arrogant tone.

“Come on, it’s easy!”

The Majin twins, though trying very hard to keep a straight face, are forced to hold back a giggle. Basilea resigns herself to this fate, just so it means leaving. She repeats the motions you preform, irritation in her voice but nonetheless allowing it to go through. The two of you finish by first high-fiving, then shaking hands. “Are we done?”

https://youtu.be/QgWL-vyV7r0

You give Basilea a hug, the demon girl freezing up as you do. “Yeah. Take care, Basilea. And good luck.”

She blushes slightly and pushes you off her and grumbles out a “Whatever” as she stands by Haru-Haru and Shun-Shun. The three teleport away, finally gone.

“I’m genuinely surprised she agreed to that.” the other you comments. “And that you’ve honestly tried to protect her like this, in spite of everything she’s done. Everything you know about her.”

“I guess… maybe I’m just lucky I have it so good in this world, this timeline. I owe what I am to the warning your Gohan gave us, and to Bra and her brothers and Buula looking out for us. But I owe her too, in a way. She… I guess was an example of what not to be. Of what would happen if I didn’t accept the help of others, and just let anger take hold. If I weren’t kind and polite, and just let a sense of superiority take over. I won every fight I ended up in against her, because I didn’t act like her. I tried to be better than her… and wanted to show her that she could be better too.” Hands behind your back, you stare up into the starry sky. “She had a positive influence on me. I wanted to be a positive influence on her. That’s why I’d protect her like that. So she can be better.”

Future Peppa sighs. “You’re a good deal more mature than I was at your age, I’ll give you that.”

Mom walks over and pulls the both of you in for a hug. “You did good. Both of you. Proud of you, Peppa.”

https://youtu.be/4wVhc6gGJjA

The two of you nod at her… and then that’s when you finally notice something. “Aha! I knew it!” They both look at you with confusion. “I’m gonna get taller than you, mom!”

Maple hangs her head. “Gods damn it…”

Your counterpart snort-laughs once more. “Don’t get too proud of it. Izzy’s still taller. Bit taller than Bulma, actually.”

And for some reason, you think you hear your uncle laughing.

Good question. Gimme a list, what DS and GBA games would Peppa want to give to her future self, aside from those already mentioned? Also, Bra isn't really used to videogames, though she's seen the Time Patrol start to talk about a certain simulation game...

Anyway, we are back!

“Well, that sounds like quite a morning.” Keli comments to you, taking a sip from her drink. You sit with her at a cafe in Mifan, Tien’s students apparently having the day off to try and recuperate. “You do anything else before they left?”

“Well, apparently Bra was glad to see how much I’d improved. She was really curious about Vegeta and Baozi. Told her about his Primal Super Saiyan thing, and Buula made this face like she was going to get in trouble. Didn’t really say why, but… eh. Oh! Bra did find out about Super Saiyan 3 on her own, but she recommended to me to try doing more with Super Saiyan 2 first. She’s also planning on trying to find her timeline’s Broly with the help of her allies.”

“Why would Buula be worried about Vegeta’s big monkey form?” Keli asks

“She didn’t say. Other me was curious about it too. Hmm… what else… oh, right, mentioned that Ki hiding trick Cocoa picked up from the ninja and I learned to her. She thought that was kinda neat.”

“Mh.” Keli takes another sip. “I’m still not sure about those ninja.”

“Why, they up to something?”

She puts her drink down, fingers running through her silver hair. “Last I heard they were trying to convince Trip that they could keep those sealed foes they snuck out of the Lookout safe, away from prying eyes. I’m not entirely sure that’s the only reason they’re bargaining to keep ‘em.” She then shrugs. “Or maybe I’m just being overly distrustful. We have some other things to worry about, I guess. And… eh, enough about this. Are you going to try to manage that form Vegeta unlocked? And how about you and Cocoa?” A sly smile appears on her face. “Any special plans?”

>A. Actually, I’d rather try to find my own path than ape Vegeta’s. Plus, the thought of having all that bodyhair gives me the heebie jeebies…
>B. Bet I could if I really gave it a shot… eh, we’ll see

“Well, maybe I’ll give it a try, see if I can unlock it, but actually, I’d rather find my own path. I don’t want to ape Vegeta’s.” you reply.

Keli gives a quick laugh. “Cute.”

“I know I am. But really, if I could find a way to use some of that power without going all hairy, I’d be happy. I’ll focus on Super Saiyan 2 and continue from there. Plus, if I’m being honest? The thought of all that bodyhair gives me the heebie jeebies…” You temporarily imagine what you’d look like with it, then shudder, rubbing your arms. So much hair.

Keli giggles. “Now that you mention it, yeah, that would be a hassle to deal with.” Her hand pats her bare thigh. “I put in enough work to keep mine nice and smooth.”

“For Melee?” you ask with a sly smile, Keli blushing. “How’ve the two of you been, anyway?”

“Ah ah! I asked you about Cocoa first.” She points at you. “Now spill it.”

Chuckling nervously, you reply in a near-mumbling tone, “Aheh heh heh, w-well… Cocoa asked me out on a date this Thursday.” Keli’s face lights up. “And… I, well, I got my first kiss.”

You could swear she’s holding back a very excited, girly squeal of joy when she hears that. Keli tries to straighten her back a little. “And how was it?”

Your face in your hands, you shake your head back and forth. “Even thinking about it makes me feel like it’s suddenly 10 degrees warmer and like there are butterflies in my stomach and I’m suddenly a kilogram or two lighter and…” And you start to ramble, flustered, for half a minute.

“Okay, okay, I get it! Haha…” Keli holds her hands up. “Certainly a bit less awkward than mine.”

“Ahem! Hem! Ha! Hokay!” You clear your throat. “So, you got to hear from me. How about you and Melee?”

She rests her cheek on her palm. “Been seeing each other when we can, but things have gotten seriously busy for her. Prince Beelzebub has been preparing for things down in the Demon Realm, trying to consolidate his things, make sure all his alliances and everything are secure. Melee and Gola have been running all over the place.” Keli runs her fingers through her hair again. “Want to be able to do something to help her relax, when she can, but… I dunno. It’s hard. And I… I guess I’m worrying about her.”

“Ah.” Well. That snapped you back to normal. “Well, what about your training? How’s that been coming along?”

“Decent enough that I was able to make a difference when we took back Mifan. But getting the feeling that I’m not improving as much as I should be.” she admits.

>A. All right. Then let’s train together! Come on! Right now!

You smirk. “Betcha the World Champ can give you some pointers. What are you struggling with the most?”

Keli rubs the back of her neck, then takes a sip from her drink. “Mh. Well. I’m… actually trying a few things Melee has shown me. The MP Buster specifically. I’ve been trying to combine that Magic with some of the other skills we’ve been developing. Some Ki binding techniques. Heh, ‘s actually something Vegeta came up with, but Baozi kinda showed off to us after he combined it with the Dodonpa.”

“Wait, really?” you ask in surprise. “Well now you’ve got me curious. Come on, let’s see.”

Keli brings up a finger, Ki concentrating around the tip. She circles it around, forming a ring of energy above her finger. She flings it towards the ground, the ring getting stick in the dirt. Huh. “It’s able to restrict someone’s movements if you manage to get it on the limbs. Problem is, if you try to mix in Magic with it, it fades pretty quickly. What I’ve been trying to do is use it to deplete the energy of whoever it catches. But it can’t manage such a thing for long.”

Hmm. An energy-draining binding technique. That IS a pretty tricky thing to do, but it’s also a pretty smart one. Maybe… wait, got an idea! You fire off a clothes beam at the circle of energy stuck in the dirt. Giving it a tug, and being a little surprised it’s kinda hard to pull out of the ground, you’re able to tug it free, taking a bit of the dirt with it. You then twirl the rope around. “Here’s an idea. Maybe it can’t continually drain something because you can’t keep applying the Magic to it.”

“Oh?” Keli leans back.

“Instead of a simple ring or bind… try and make it a lasso. Continually apply the MP Buster as long as you’ve got that energy lasso in hand. Whatcha think?” You let the Ki ring finally fall, this time with it breaking once it hits the ground. Hm. Maybe watch the durability on ‘em too.

“I think there’s a reason you’re champ.” She ruffles your hair affectionately. “That’s a great idea. Thanks, Peppa.”

“Oi. Don’t start.” Keli pouts.

You giggle. “Really though, do you two spend a lot of time developing your skills together?”

“I mean… kinda, yeah.” Her finger fidgets with her drink’s straw.

Leaning forward with your chin on your knuckles, you ask, “Well… what else does she like to do with ya? What does she like? Foods, hobbies, come on, gotta be something. Maybe something you can do with her.”

“W-well… a few things.” Keli responds with a low voice. “She has a few foods she really likes. Got a bit of a sweet tooth, actually. And though she might not be very… up front with it, she’s quite into fashion.”

Oooh, now you’re getting somewhere! “Fashion, huh?”

“I mean, she’s learned the Clothes Beam so it’s not exactly something hard for her, but she does like looking pretty. Rather fond of some… uh… lacy stuff.” Keli mumbles that last sentence.

“You know, being off-world gave me a few glimpses into other worlds’ senses of fashion. Maybe you could look into some of those places. And hey, Mifan’s got a spaceport with lots of shops from off-world. Good place to start.” A devious grin on your face, you add, “Maybe you could even model for her~”

Keli laughs nervously, mumbling something under her breath. “A-all right, I’ll… think about it.”

“Now though, you gotta help me with some ideas!” you declare, sitting back. “I gave you some fighting pointers and date tips. Your turn.”

Her flustered look fades, her confidence returning, her eyes narrowing as a devious smirk appears on her face. “Tell me, have you tried a beach date yet?”

“W-well, no, this’ll be our third…”

“Well now you’ve gotta. Still got some summer left, kiddo, use it wisely and soak up that sun.” Tapping her lips contemplatively, Keli then adds, “Got quite a few places you could go, so you better try at least one while you have the chance.”

“Okay, okay, beach date!” You throw your hands up. “What else?”

She starts listing places off on her fingers, “Sasebo is a little chilly this time of year but has a very nice music festival, Dream Land’s opening up some new attractions like a rather romantic gondola ride around the place, Mifan’s zoo actually has a few animals from off-world, though if you want I’m sure you could get permission for a tour around Monster Island too, I’ve heard there are a few places with really soothing hot springs…”

“H-hot springs might be a bit much.” you mumble.

“Laaaast but not least…” Keli points her fingers at you. “Don’t overthink it. Keep her input in mind. Surprises can be nice, but constant surprises and expensive dates can come off a little too strong. Have a back and forth between the both of you. Also… I’m getting the idea that she’s actually pretty forward with what she wants.”

“W-what do you mean by that?” you stutter.

“The way mentioned getting your first kiss. She initiated, didn’t she?” Her eyebrows raise, knowing the answer already.

“Th-that… w-well…” You pout, flustered.

“Yep.” She boops your nose. “Thought so. While I’m betting she likes that she can make you melt in her hands, don’t be afraid to be a little forward yourself.” She pinches at the air. “Little, though.”

“Okay. Okay! Yeah!” You stand and stretch. “Thanks, Keli. You’re a big help.”

“Glad to help. Plus, it’s fun seeing how easy it is for our little Champ to get worked up.” The silver-haired lady winks at you.

“H-HEY!” Oh that…! Ah nevermind. You roll your eyes. “Bye, Keli. Good luck with training.”

“Good luck with your daaaate!~”

Good session Kato! I'm thinking Izzy first, especially if Gohan comes back at the end of his turn. Wanna save that because it changes everything else maybe.

I do want to have Otherworld adventures with Gohan, like visiting dead relatives and teachers and fighters. I also want to do the Scavenger Hunt with Izumi, if it's okay.

Either sounds fine.

Have a good night!

Never took Keli for an Amazon, but hey, Magic Lasso is a cool idea. Had lots of fun, Kato! Thanks for runming! It's good seeing Keli and Peppa interact like this, they're fun together.

I'm good with Izzy tomorrow.

>>3941926
Fun is yes.

I'm a little more excited about Gohan's ridiculous wide array of possibilities at the moment, myself.

Alright we've got a split, so I'll change my Izzy vote to Gohan. >>3941927

Hopefully afterlife shenanigans last a while.

It's pretty weird trying to romance someone who's older than you. Maple pulled it off, but she and Goku grew up together. We didn't grow up with Pantea or Tapion, and they're already mature. How do we compete when they already have an impression of the MCs as mere kids? Like, I don't know how to begin with something like that in either Izumi's or Gohan's case.

Plus there's that whole "gotta get back, back to the past, warrior Tap" thing.

“So he went with those Kai guys, huh?” Sachie asks.

“Tapion and Minotia explained their situation to the Supreme Kai, and while I’m not sure I got all of what they were talking about, but from the sound of things, the Supreme Kai was willing to take the two of them with him to train.” You shrug. “For what, I’m not 100% sure. But Tapion was certainly honored by it. Plus, Gohan has someone he can kinda talk to while he’s… well, waiting to come back.”

“It’s a real shame. I hoped we could spend some more time together before Sachie and I went back.” Zarid comments.

“Yeah. But hey, no need to dwell on the negative!” the blonde ninja girl calls out energetically. “We’ve still got a couple days extension! Let’s make the most of it!”

Zarid sighs and smiles. “Hard to keep you down, huh?”

Looking over, you see Monty staring down at his training sword. You call out to him, asking, “Something on your mind, Monty?”

“Ah.” He looks to you. “Well, just… heh, kinda still taking in how much I was able to really help. I’m starting to get why all of you are so adamant about improving yourselves with martial arts. Wondering on how to really move forward.”

>A. You managed to learn the Multi-Form pretty quick, wanna practice it with me and Sachie?

I hope this does not mean that Gohan stays at the Supreme Kai's world his entire time dead, and even more that Tapion and Minotia are going to be the only ones Gohan can talk to.

“Heh. No longer just trying to impress my cousin, huh?” you ask Monty with a sly, devious look on your face.

Blushing and stuttering, Monty mumbles out, “I… but th-that… w-well, she…”

Giggling, you wave your hand at him. “Teasing, teasing, don’t worry Monty. I’m sure you’ll find someone else.” He sighs loudly, shaking his head. “More to the point, you managed to learn Multi-Form pretty quickly! That’s a hell of a thing to do. I was actually planning on talking with aunt Maple later today, getting some training in with my Magic, but how about you practice the Multi-Form with me and Sachie for a bit?”

Sachie bounces up from her seat. “Oooh! Yeah, come on!”

“R-right now?” Monty asks.

“Yeah yeah yeah! Come ooooon!” She takes his arm by the wrist, you giggling as you head along with them.

You notice Zarid stand up as well. “Oh? You wanna join in?”

“I’ll be nearby, I want to practice a few of my own skills. Might as well be around to keep her from overdoing things if she gets too excited.” the young man replies, stretching.

“I heard that, Zarid!”

“I know. And I only say it because it’s true. You’re gonna dislocate his shoulder if you keep dragging him along like that. Like you did to that one guy from Mongolia.”

“What’s a Mongolia?” You swear you’ve heard that word before.

“He got better!” Sachie protests. Then, after a beat, adds, “Mostly!” Monty makes small, worried noises and tries to keep up with her pace.

With all of you finally reaching a clearing outside of town, you and Sachie stand by one another. “So, one thing to keep in mind with this technique is how it divides your power. Getting stronger makes it more manageable, but only to a point. You’ll need the raw power and practice to be able to use it effectively.”

Sachie laughs, poking your shoulder. “Well look at you, actin’ like you’re an expert at it.”

“Oh not even close. I merely ended up taught by one.” you reply flatteringly. “Anyway, Monty! How many can you manage?”

“I’m up to three total. What about the two of you?”

“I’ve gotten it up to… I think about 200? Though that was using some pretty extreme methods.” Sachie admits. “No more than 10 is really necessary most times for me. What about you, Izzy?”

>A. Actually, I haven’t used it that much. I should test out my limit with it
>B. Betting I could go over 200, but yeah, 10 seems like a good limit
>C. You know… could try it out with my other transformation. Gonna do that!
>D. Something else?

“Heh heh. Four.” you mumble under your breath, making a joke literally none of the people around you seem to get but keeps making you smile.

“Huh. Only four?” Sachie asks, confused.

“Actually, I haven’t really tried it all that much yet. I should test out my limits with it… ooh, ooh, actually! I should try seeing how my other form works with it when pushed to the limit!” Bwahahahaha, this is a great idea! Here it goes! Multi-Form! You place your hands together and focus your energy, splitting your power as you let out copy after copy of yourself. You end up with about… 50 of them before you start to feel a little woozy. Okay, should be enough!

Sachie starts to count, Monty wowed by your display. And now, the real test! You focus your Ki, and around you a swirl of green erupts… ooooonly for it to immediately fade before you can call out a simple “Henshin!” You attempt it again, but not a single one of you can manage it. Zarid approaches, noticing what you’re trying to do. “Perhaps you’ve spread yourself too thin, Izumi. You don’t have enough power to transform like that.”

You sigh and pout, decreasing the number to about 15, the group of them poofing out of existence. “Henshin! YUUSHAAA!” Your armor appears around the group of you, each one donning their own set. Okay! Here we go! Just gotta-!

https://youtu.be/3-8wb8twM1Q

THUNK.

And you trip and faceplant. Why do you feel so heavy? Ngh. Come on. Up. Uuuuuupppp. Haaard to stand like this. You can hear Sachie snickering. Damn it. Okay, focus! Let’s see… here’s an idea! One of you focuses some Ki around her hands, mixing Lightning Magic into it… aaaand gets zapped by her own Magic before she can let it out. Another attempts to mix in Ice and Fire, and the result blows up in her face. This continues for a while, each attempt to try some of your skills backfiring spectacularly, Zarid having to make a little barrier between your copies and everyone else, Monty going from impressed to INTENSELY worried as you try and fail over and over to get a handle on this.

Finally collapsing face-first, starting to feel out of energy, you pound the ground with your fists and grumble into it. “FINE. FINE! AGH!” You push yourself up and power down. Okay, new plan! You return the copies back to you, and while your head feels… strangely lighter but more focused, like you just got some fresh info put in your head, your body only feels more exhausted. You try something a little different, producing multiple copies again, but instead trying to mix in Magic with each one. A Fire Clone, a Water Clone, a Wind Clone, a Lightning Clone, an Ice Clone, a Light Clone, and last but not least, a Shadow Clone.

And the Fire Clone suddenly ignites, bursting into flames before fading into smoke. The Water Clone slowly melts, calling to you, horrifying gargling noises coming from her mouth as she goes from person to puddle. The Wind Clone holds it together… for a moment, before being swept away, light as a feather, and fading into the aether. The Lightning Clone barely holds herself together before trying to take a step forward and exploding into a burst of, well, Lightning. The Ice Clone freezes in place, turning into a block of ice and shattering. The Light Clone ends up bursting in a bright, blinding flash.

The Shadow Clone looks at all the rest and blinks. You hesitantly approach her. “D-did it work?” She shrugs. “OH THANK GO-” You try to place your hand on her shoulder.

She poofs into what you can only describe as black smoke, causing you to cough and fall. You then just… just lay there for a moment. Groaning.

Sachie casually strolls over to you, offering a hand to help you up. “While ambitious, maaaaaybe try to stick with more manageable attempts first.”

You take her hand and sigh loudly. “Damn it all.”

“Leave the more complex stuff to the pros.” Sachie tells you… and you see there’s two more by Monty, and even Zarid, training with the boys. More specifically, she’s attempting to help Monty better manage his energy as he attempts Multi-Form himself. Zarid meanwhile holds off the other copies with relative ease, really just using them as a chance to practice his skills. You do notice though that he seems to be going a little easy on her.

>A. Say, have you tried to get Zarid to learn it? Or have the two of you shared any techniques at all?
>B. Better try one more time, though keep it at two, probably the most manageable
>C. Sachie… can you give me some pointers, please?

Groaning softly, you rub the side of your head. “Think I might have one more in me, but… hmm, would an ocarina help focus my magic?”

“Aaaaare you sure that’s wise?” Sachie asks, placing her hand on your head. “Nothing bumped too hard?”

“I… actually. Sachie? Can you give me some pointers too?” you ask humbly.

“Wait, really?”

Bowing your head, you say, “Look, I’m not so full of myself to deny I just made a fool of myself right now. So, pointers?”

Sachie smiles. “Pointers it is! So! Start basic. You went waaaaay overboard with this tryin’ to act all cool.” She waves her hands dramatically, emphasizing her words. “If you really want to try to manage that super cool Magical Girl thing with Multi-Form, just do one clone to start off.”

“Okay, okay. One clone.” Wax on these wings ain’t melted yet! You breathe in deep. Transforming again, you then create one clone. You start to feel pretty light-headed, but you’re focused enough to at least manage this for a short while. You try the ocarina to help… and while it gets you to focus, it might work better when you haven’t spent a good oh, 30 minutes or so exhausting yourself. The two of you decide to focus on something simple. One of you snaps your fingers and lets out a blast of fire above you, while the other sends out a pulse of water to counter it. The two attacks meet and cancel out… and that’s about as much as you can really manage. You drop out of your form and fall to your knees, exhausted.

“Izzyyyyy, you still alive?” Sachie asks, leaning over you.

“My hubris will be my downfall.” you groan. “I’ve made a fool of myself enough today. I should rest.” You try to stand back up and groan loudly as you feel OH SO SORE. “And I think I haven’t been in more pain in my whole life. I’m… gonna go lay by my pool for a while. Uuuggghhh.”

“Didn’t you wanna meet with Mrs. Maple later?” she asks.

Ah damn it. “I’ll rest, then see if I’m up for it.” Little nap can’t hurt, right?

Anyway, we are back!

>>3943235
After getting mom to heal you up a bit, you try to relax by the poolside… and find your mind wandering. You still feel strangely sore and tired, like you’ve done an exceptional amount of exercise. Staring up at the blue sky, you wonder, is this because you pushed yourself so hard with the Multi-Form technique? You’re getting pretty vague… sort of “memories” of all the failed attempts to push your limits with it, and how they all failed pretty spectacularly. Maybe you should have aunt Maple check in on this. Eeeggghhh… but you just feel like relaxing and resting for the whole rest of the day.

Hmm. Wonder if there are other things you can focus on with the Multi-Form, too. The Kaio-ken, the Raio-ken, the Raio-Ten… hmm… Raio-ken, Multi-Form, and Afterimages might be a really good trick. That said, you’re not sure you’ve even scratched the surface with your new form. You’ve only really focused on offensive Magics so far… well, them, and apparently the Clothes Beam. Wonder if that armor you make when you transform takes all that much energy. It does seem to give quite a defense boost.

You let out a yawn as you keep looking up. Tired… maybe could just… nap for a bit…

>A. Nah, keep thinking. Gotta be some things you can come up with. Body can rest but mind’s gonna work overtime!

You conjure up a small alarm clock and set it by you. Don’t wanna miss Maple’s training, but you… you need a little nap. Laying back, you close your eyes and slowly drift off. Just gonna take a nice, relaxing nap…

‘Heeeeeey.’

Huh?

‘Heeeeeeeeyyyyy! Iiiiizzzzuuuuuummmiiiiiii!’

You slowly open your eyes… except you don’t wake up. You see a white void all around you. You blink twice, moving your limbs. What the…? You were just back home, where are…?

https://youtu.be/YcNFIQ6U8qY

“IT WORKED!”

Okay who even is that? Doesn’t sound like anyone you know. You look around. Where is…?

“Oh, right behind you!”

Your body turns as you see someone barely a meter away in the white void. A tall-ish, slightly muscular man with purple skin and white hair done up in a ponytail sitting cross-legged. He has tiny tinted glasses, black and yellow fingerless gloves, a black, almost skin-tight shirt, and bright yellow pants that reach just above his ankles, matching yellow shoes. There seems to be some kind of sword behind him, small and kinda ill-fitting for someone like him. His hands on his knees he moves back and forth in an almost childlike manner, grinning like an overly excited kid. Who EVEN is this-?!

“It worked! Wow! I really am a genius! Hello!” the man waves to you.

…Okay. “…Hello?” you reply hesitantly and wave back. You know… he almost looks like the Supreme kai. Same white hair and skin color, though his is only shaved on the sides instead of done up in a mohawk like Tapion. And even then not completely. Can’t… really sense this guy. “Uh-”

“Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Aaaaahhh the experiment was a complete success!” He cheers to himself. “Oh, oh, can I have your autograph?!” Bringing his hands up from his knees he seems to conjure a pen and some paper. “Please?!”

You rub the side of your head. You… think you hear Maple’s voice somewhere in the distance. Something… about him makes you wanna punch him in the face. Like. He just has a very punchable face. Might… punch.
