"It's possible because I'm using my powers to communicate through the area in which the temporal lock is weakest... and it just happened that... the place where the temporal lock is the weakest is this place... the realm beyond the physical realm where all places connect through time... the Dimensional Rift..." The girl's voice trailed off for a moment. "But thanks to the Temporal Lock, this is merely only a small portion of the Dimensional Rift, limited to only the unstable history of this single world. The true Dimensional Rift is a place even more dangerous than the Makai... but you don't need to know that!" The voice suddenly seemed to realize they were revealing something they shouldn't. "The point is that even though there's not a direct connection, I can talk to you right now."

"Right. So... you wouldn't happen to have any... well, tips for killing Lavos, would you?" It was a longshot, but... well, she was a god, so if Lavos had some sort of weakness, she'd be the one to know, right?

"As a matter of fact... I do." Your guess was spot on, she did know something after all!

"Really?" You just wanted to make sure that she wasn't messing with you, but you kind of doubted that she'd do something like that after all that she'd told you.

"Yes. The weakness of Lavos' species is within their core. The outer shell is nothing more than a gigantic suit of hollow armor for the true monster which lies within, your target is the core of Lavos. That's the only way to ensure that Lavos is dead... you need to destroy the core." Great, so to kill Lavos, all you need to do is break through the almost impenetrable shell, traverse the insides of the gigantic space creature, and locate the core so you could blast Lavos away once and for all... at least the girl said that the shell was hollow.

"Well, that's something at least... and the exterior head is the only weak-spot in the outer layer, right?" This all meant that you and your allies had a defined target to go after in the coming fight.

"Pretty much, but... if Lavos has already assumed a form close to the Time Devourer once again, then you are to retreat immediately and tell me. If that happens, then I'll have to forcibly disable the Temporal Lock and have the Time Patrol intervene directly... the potential cost to the universe... and to time itself... it's far too high to allow the possibility of Lavos getting free..."

"Do you just prefer the name Lavos over Planet-Eater?" The old man's voice sounded annoyed. "You seem to have taken quite well to using that bizarre name." You could tell with ease that this guy was a total stick in the mud about stuff like this.

"Hey, I'm only using it to make the conversation easier to follow... besides, I think the name 'Lavos' is a lot better than just referring to it by the species name, especially because it's the last of its kind!" You were relieved that there weren't any more creatures like Lavos spread out across the galaxy, there was something terribly insidious about the way that Lavos operated that made it far more dangerous than the typical space monster. Just how much had Lavos ended up manipulating? "Right... anyway, I name you an official temporary member of the Time Patrol, and I temporarily grant you the full authority of a Time Sheriff!"

"T-Time Sheriff?!" The voice of the boy could be heard once again. "Supr- I mean, are you sure about that? That role... it doesn't even exist!" It seemed like the boy was some sort of voice of reason here, though such a force was nothing compared to the girl.

"If you're so jealous about it, I'm sure I can find you a hat and a badge to wear." The girl's voice teased the boy, and it was clear that she had the sort of personality that enjoyed doing things like joking about with her underlings... because it was clear to you that the boy couldn't be anything other than an underling.

"N-nevermind." The boy ceased his objections towards your new temporary title.

"Great! Now with that settled. I just need to make a few last preparations... and..." She stopped talking and you didn't know what to make of things. "OK! I've bolstered the strength of this rift, it should now stay active even after you pass through it to confront Lavos, meaning that you have a place to go back to if you find yourself overwhelmed... or if you defeat Lavos and need a quick escape from whatever time period he's in!" Whoever this girl was, she was surprisingly reliable, even if she was unable to actually directly assist, being able to provide you with a way out was an excellent contribution. Now though... you stared at the rift, beyond it was Lavos...

>Any last minute preparations you want to make before the fight?

>>5046396
>Could you make it so that the other group that's traveling here comes in at the same time as when we arrive? We split into two groups so that we could find Lavos as fast as possible, and we agreed to wait til the other team got there as well.

>>5046396
>>5046408
Supporting this one, makes sense to have the whole gang together. We can destroy it that way, especially now that we know where and when to use the big boy attack.

>>5046408
I'll support.

And add
>Go over a gameplan with the others.
We want an immediate reaction time. Not a disparate every man for himself brawl.

>>5046408
>>5046437
Fair, I'll support adding going over a plan with the others, we don't need to go over anything too complex, I'd think.

>>5046437
>>5046408
Supporting these!

>>5046396

>>5046396
>>5046437
We should ask Magus what his plan of attack is and work around/support it with what we can. He's the one who's been autistically plotting vengeance for ages so I'm sure he has something decent in mind.

"Alright, before we do this..." You looked at the portal that led to Lavos, and to the final battle that was laid out before you. "Do you think that you can make it so that the other group that is traveling through this place comes through the rift at the same time we do, when they find it?" It was a request that you honestly weren't even sure was possible, but hey, there was no harm asking, right? This girl was obviously meant to be a god of some sort, and you hadn't exactly been given many reason to doubt the gods thus far, they generally seemed to know what was going on... generally.

"Huh?" The voice of the girl sounded a little surprised by your request to have the time rift be altered slightly. Though you were hoping it was more out of surprise at your request than it was out of the request being impossible, she had already said that she had modified the rift somewhat to enable it to remain open.

"Well, I'm actually a part of a relatively large group of people who are all working together to stop Lavos already, so... making me a Time Sheriff or whatever was kind of unneeded..." Of course, you didn't mind the title, especially if it meant that the gods were on your side in this matter. "But we split up so that we'd have a better chance of finding the route to Lavos, so I want to ask if something like having us arrive at the same time even though we entered the rift at different times is possible."

"Well... it might be difficult for me to manage the dilation of time to that degree, but I suppose I might just be able to manage something, and have the flow of time between this place and the current location Lavos exist within slow down by a couple hundred times. That way, for every second that passes for you on the other side of the portal, then your allies will have about three hundred seconds!" The girl seemed fairly pleased in her own abilities, though seeing as she was some sort of Goddess of Time, the ability to actually manipulate time like that was really to be expected. "Though there's going to be some difference regardless of what happens, keeping the rift open as things are right now is already difficult, but keeping it stable in differing flows of time will be even harder." She sounded concerned about the difficulty.

"Are you saying that you can't do it?" You questioned the disembodied divine voice.

"Not at all! I'm the Su-" The girl was interrupted by the boy's coughing, and she cut herself off. "I'm a very important person, so it's no big deal for me!" Somehow you doubted that was what she was going to say originally, but it seemed like she was attempting to hide her true identity for whatever reason, not that you had any idea as to why she might consider doing such a thing so important.

"Excellent, then there's only one last thing to do." You turned to the rest of your allies. "Everyone, let's go over the plan of attack against Lavos, the weak spot is the beak of Lavos, so that's where we're going to be focusing our attacks." It didn't make any sense at all to think that attacking the Shell of Lavos would do anything after the amount of damage it had managed to shrug off without any issues. "Magus, do you have anything specific you want to mention, you've been plotting the defeat of Lavos for the longest, after all."

"Whenever Lavos starts to attack, everyone should gather around me, I have the greatest ability to create barriers of anybody here, and I'm quite confident in my ability to create a shield even Lavos cannot penetrate." Magus crossed his arms. "Also, I don't know if you were paying attention when you fought it before, but Lavos has a tell that reveals when it is about to attack, usually, it keeps its beak... mouth thing shut, but only in the moment it is about to attack does it open it."

"So that's our moment to attack. When Lavos opens its mouth?" Khive joined into the conversation, and Magus nodded.

"If we can do that, then we'll be able to destroy Lavos' outer shell quickly, before we enter the shell structure in order to truly deal with Lavos." It was quite daunting, the idea of having to face off against the unknown true Lavos within the shell, but considering that Lavos' shell was obviously some form of armor, it didn't make sense that the inner form of Lavos would be more dangerous, so it wasn't that daunting a task, in your opinion.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Euca looked about ready to brawl, an while she had shown herself to be incredibly powerful, she had still yet to bear witness to the power of Lavos. The Lavos you battled before would've had absolutely no difficulty in erasing Dalton... not that he was particularly challenging for you and Euca, but he was still likely the most powerful opponent you've ever faced with the sole exception of Lavos itself.

"We don't just want to rush in here, Euca." You sighed. "I just want to make sure that everyone is ready for what lies ahead. No attacking Lavos until it reveals itself to be vulnerable, anything else is just a wasted effort, and more crucially, wasted energy."

"Right, for something like this, stamina is important. We're hoping for a quick and clean kill, but... taking that for granted is a pretty damn good way to get your ass kicked." Parzlee reminded Euca that she was very much still the more experienced fighter when it came to battlefield analysis and strategy, and also reminded you of the reason that she was your second in command. She might've been a savage warrior, but she was by no means stupid. In fact, she and her sister were remarkably intelligent compared to their peers back in the day.

"See, Euca? It's not always good to run into things without thinking them through." Sycam tried to remind his sister that sometimes strategy was key to victory, but she just smirked.

"Uh-huh, tell me that again when you can even come close to beating me in a fight." Unfortunately, it looked like Euca still had the opinion that might would allow her to overcome any enemy, and... while her assumption wasn't entirely incorrect in that enough power and speed would allow her to simply overpower even the most skilled enemy, it was wrong to assume that she would always be the most powerful in a fight. Even with her access to the Demon Horns which made her far more powerful than normal.

"I can't believe I'm going to actually save the world." Flea seemed more than a little bemused by his current situation, though he didn't seem dissatisfied either. "Or... well, at least try?" Though his confidence could really do with a little bit of a boost. Seems that Flea was wary of the power of Lavos too.

"Alright, then with everyone ready, let's go." You fished out the Gate Key from your pocket for possibly the last time and you strode through the rift in time, the rift that would lead you back to Lavos.

Everything went white, and the world started to shift around you as a truly crushing pressure threatened to destroy you, slowly you became able to pick out individual objects once again, and what you saw was something you couldn't possibly have predicted.

"Schala!" Magus yelled the name of his sister, who was located atop of Lavos, in some sort of translucent cocoon of energy. The power being exuded by Lavos was tremendous, greater than before by thousands of times at least. You were such non-threats to Lavos as it existed now that it didn't even seem to register your existence.

"Could this be the power of the Time Devourer?" You struggled to remain standing, as did everyone else, the sheer power being exuded by Lavos now was unreal. "Was this... what the Gods managed to defeat?" It was unreal that the Gods had defeated this at all! Even the Scouter was simply giving an ERROR instead of a proper reading. "How are we supposed to defeat this?!" Suddenly, you remembered.

The Chrono Trigger, it was still being kept safe on you, and you retrieved it from the sort of pouch it had ended up in. The egg-like object was glowing brightly, as if it was attempting to get away from you.

I wonder if we'd get a timestop if we absorbed it.

You let the Chrono Trigger go, there's no point in trying to keep hold of the egg-shaped object, not when it seems to be doing exactly what it was designed to do, doing something like trying to keep holding it in a situation like this was idiotic at best. You didn't need to have some in-depth knowledge on the workings of the object to understand that attempting to use it for anything other than what it was made to do was dumb. If you had more knowledge of the Chrono Trigger, perhaps you could justify using it to empower yourself, but as it was, there was no point in deviating from the agreed upon plan.

The egg floated into the air, unburdened by the immense pressure of being near Lavos, and the black swirls on the surface of the Chrono Trigger started to shift around rapidly until suddenly, cracks began to form in the egg.

"Rettace! We need to retreat! Lavos... we can't beat Lavos like this!" Khive attempted to call a retreat, but you shook your head.

"No, this is our last chance, Khive. This is why we have the Chrono Trigger." You really hoped that you were right, because Lavos was likely powerful enough as it was right now to simply erase all of you with a simple gesture, it was really terrifying that the monster you had considered to be your greatest opponent ever was nothing but a fraction of the strength it had right now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O_lINY_fos

The cracks on the time egg continued to form, golden energy peering out from within, until finally, it cracked open and disappeared.

Time stopped. The crushing energy of Lavos no longer reached you, and the rest of your allies were also seemingly fine now. "See?" You felt happy that your faith in the Chrono Trigger had been rewarded, but...

"Yes, however, as much as I appreciate this moment of respite, merely stopping time will not aid us in defeating Lavos." Magus crossed his arms, he looked immensely frustrated by the power that Lavos now wielded, and livid at the fact that Schala was being used by Lavos as a power source. Ironic that the nation who used Lavos as their power source would end up giving Lavos a power source in turn.

"That's where you're wrong, Magus." You crossed your arms and smiled. "We aren't simply stopping time." You pointed to Lavos... or more specifically, to Schala, who despite the apparent stopping of time, was still moving slightly in the energy cocoon, though strangely, as if her motion had been reversed somehow. "We've not stopped time at all. The Chrono Trigger is reversing it." You looked around you at the swirling energy of the bizarre time period that you had ended up in, the one which Lavos resided in, and marveled at the fact that the reversal of time was actually accelerating, the world around you was shifting backwards faster by the second!

"Then... that means that..."

"That's right! When time flows once again, Lavos won't be on the road to becoming this unstoppable Time Devourer any longer, and you'll be able to save Schala! But... don't forget that our goal hasn't changed! When time begins to flow once again, we need to focus on killing Lavos before anything else!" Magus was an important part of the strategy, and you couldn't afford him being distracted when it came to this. All that the Chrono Trigger would accomplish was give you a chance at defeating Lavos, it wasn't a guarantee of anything.

"Right." The cocoon of energy around Schala had almost faded entirely now, and you prepared yourself for time to begin to flow once again...

"Everyone! Get ready!" You called out one last time to your allies as you got into your fighting stance, not that your stance was really that much help against an enemy like Lavos, all it really did was make it easier for you to dodge whatever attack that Lavos might be able to fire off.

Finally, Schala was separated from Lavos, and was standing alone in front of the beast. The raging spacial storm you had caused with your own magic was still ongoing, and you were worried that you might be forced to retreat immediately because of it, until...

Time began to flow once again, and the spacial disturbances all seemed to start to flow towards a single location... as if they were all condensing into something, and your eyes widened when you realized what was happening. "The Chrono Trigger! It's reforming!" Unbelievably, the egg seemed to have another function, in that it was reversing the potential damage caused by your initial attempt to defeat Lavos, no longer giving Lavos the head-start it needed in returning to its maximum power!

You had a chance to act while Lavos was still yet to register that you had returned!

It only opens its mouth to attack, remember? THAT'S our opening! Then we Space Pawnch it in in its true form once we break on through to the inside.

Yeah but we are doing it right this time. It's literary payoff.

>>5049294
Doing it right, in a narratively-satisfying way, would also take advantage of the information we've gathered about Lavos' weaknesses, and probably not happen instantaneously at the beginning of a fight. I mean, if you want to get meta about it.

You couldn't attack Lavos just yet, but you couldn't just leave Schala where she currently was either! You weighed your options in your head, and while you could certainly race towards her and attempt to get her out of harms way, you had a better idea...

"Teleport!" You used the ever useful spell to appear directly next to Schala, you quickly grabbed her wrist and "Teleport!" was all that you needed to say to ensure that the girl was no longer in peril of being attacked by Lavos.

"H-huh?! What are you doing here? Didn't I just... send you all away?" Schala was understandably confused at the blatant violations of the laws of time travel that had been made possible by the existence of the Chrono Trigger, you honestly had no idea how exactly the egg worked either, so it was entirely understandable that she'd be confused by what's happening now.

"Time travel. Don't question it, just know that we're all a lot stronger and more prepared than we were before." You smirked at Schala, who from her perspective probably only sent you and everyone else away a few minutes ago at most. "This time, we won't fail." You said with confidence. With what was at stake, you couldn't afford to fail, even the gods themselves were apparently counting on you now, and you didn't intend to disappoint. It's funny, before meeting gods multiple times, you had never considered yourself to be the religious sort, but now you found yourself doing the bidding of gods more often than not... you didn't really mind, but you didn't really know if you wanted to make a habit out of it. Then again, outside of the request the voice of the girl made to do what you were already doing, you usually got something out of the deal.

"I... uh..." Schala was too confused to properly respond to things, but that was fine, you simply stood in front of her to protect her from Lavos, she was instrumental to Lavos gaining power, so it was absolutely vital that she was kept separate from it, there was also the fact that she was easily the physically weakest person here. You looked towards Lavos and frowned, oddly enough, the spacial distortions were still flowing towards the location where the Chrono Trigger hatched. The egg in question had completely reformed now... you didn't understand how exactly, but you weren't going to waste your focus on thinking about it.

"Magus! Everyone! Get ready!" You barked an order to everyone, prioritizing Magus considering that he was the best at the creation of barriers among your allies, though that wasn't to say that everyone else wasn't going to be integral to success here either. "We've been noticed!" Lavos' attention had finally been drawn, and though you'd likely still be overpowered even after your training if you attempted to face Lavos head on as a Great Ape, that was thankfully no longer the plan.

"Right!" Magus held out his hand and roared the name of his spell. "Barrier 3!" A dome of runed geometric shapes wove around the group as the barrier came into effect, a faint purple light allowing them to be visible to the naked eye.

"Let's try this!" Flea suddenly spoke up. "Barrier 2!" A light blue dome was formed atop Magus' purple dome as he followed the lead of the powerful sorcerer and once demon king. It didn't appear to be as powerful as Magus' barrier, but it was still immensely powerful, you could tell just from looking at it that you'd need to use your most powerful attack to break through it.

"Ready Khive?" Parzlee asked her sister, who smiled at her.

"Ready!" The two of them formed a barrier out of their Ki, joining their energy together and forming a shifting shield of black and white energy that intermittently flashed. The power of the shield was greater than the sum of its parts, far more powerful than anything the two could create individually... it was bizarre.

Not to be outdone, the two half-Saiyans stepped forwards now, not to join their energy together like Parzlee and Khive, but to act on their own. First up was Euca, two horns sprouted from her head as she took on her full power. "I'll show you all how you make a real barrier!" She held out her arms to her side and roared as she powered up, forcing her energy to surround the multiple layers of barriers like a malevolent smoke, the energy she had formed her barrier with was like that of a dense purple fog that you were unable to see through.

"Fine, looks like I'm up." Sycam sighed as he looked at his sister's performance. "I'll show you why I was chosen as the bearer of the sacred weaponry." He looked at his shield for a moment before he thrust his arm towards the sky. "Champion's Defense!" He roared just as loudly as his sister did as a great flash of green energy nearly blinded everyone present, though when your vision returned, you could see that there was a radiant green energy beyond the fog.

"I can't let myself be outdone, can I? Let me sh-" You were about to show off your own barrier, before you were stopped.

"No. You shouldn't." Schala tugged on your sleeve, and you looked back at her in surprise. "Trust me." You didn't know if you really should trust the girl you barely knew, but you decided it would probably be for the best. Even if she lacked physical power, her magical potential was great enough that Lavos bonding with her like it had was one of the reasons that Lavos had become that unstoppable Devourer of Time, a being even the gods themselves could not kill.

You didn't have time to really say anything in response to Schala before you felt it. A tremendous energy that far surpassed what you faced in your last fight against Lavos was being emanated from the direction of Lavos, though you couldn't see with your eyes on account of the multiple layers of barriers in the way, you could still sense the energy and-

"Agh!" Suddenly, for the first time in a while, a vision forced its way into your head, of an immense blue beam of power smashing through every layer of defense rapidly and incinerating everyone without effort! "Damn it! It's not enough?!" You yelled in frustration as Lavos let loose the attack that you had foreseen would lead to catastrophe.

There was a smashing sound as it cleaved through the first two layers of defense, the radiant green light of Sycam's barrier as well as Euca's fog, then it smashed through Flea's barrier, only slowing down for about a second before the barrier couldn't stop it any longer, both Sycam and Euca were forced to take a knee out of the surprise exhaustion at their reserves being burned through nearly instantly.

Then it reached Magus' barrier, and came to a dead stop as it clashed with the pinnacle of barrier magic that Magus wielded, though even that barrier wasn't enough, and you could see cracks in the barrier starting to form. "How... is this possible?! How am I not yet powerful enough to kill you?!" He screamed in pure anger at the creature that was currently in the middle of firing an attack that you had foreseen would be your end. You were almost frozen in shock as you looked on in what could only be described as horror. "I'm not going to give up easily you bastard! Barrier 3!" Magus overlaid another Barrier behind his original just in time for the first to break. "How... much... energy do you have?!" Your eyes widened in horror when you realized what Magus had just said.

"Lavos' energy... is bottomless..." How exactly were you expecting to win out against a creature that had an unlimited amount of stamina in a defensive battle!? You started to weigh your options, you could grab onto everyone and teleport out of the way of the attack, but that would get you back to square one! You still had time! Maybe you could figure something else out that would allow you to turn this around!

"Damn youuuu!!!" Magus roared as his secondary barrier was shattered, and finally there was only one barrier left separating you and your allies from the certain death that was spelled by Lavos' attack. Khive and Parzlee had both closed their eyes in order to focus on maintaining the barrier, but even though it was immensely powerful, it wouldn't last forever against Lavos' ceaseless attack.

"Rettace." The voice of Schala suddenly called out to you, and you turned around to look at the girl. "You can... transfer energy to somebody, right?"

"I can, why?"

"I need you to transfer as much of your energy to me as you can, OK? I... I have a plan!" You hoped that her plan didn't involve lobbing everyone back into a time portal again, you doubted that Gaspar would be happy about the idea of creating another Chrono Trigger... then again, if you could get away with Schala, then you somewhat resolved the issue of Lavos reaching its full power anyway! Not that you'd leave a job half done like that anyway. "I... I'm not going to try to hide or run away from fighting anymore. I... I need to fight too!" She had a lot of resolve, so you nodded, whatever she was planning, she was sure it would work.

"Alright. Just... make sure that you can handle it, alright? I have more energy than your body can handle." You warned the girl as you grabbed her arm and started to give her power.

"Don't worry. I'm going to immediately transform the spare energy into magic energy, but what I'm about to do... it's going to need a lot." You hoped that Schala was able to transfer your energy into magic energy more efficiently than you were, otherwise she'd be better of with just creating her own energy.

Cracks started to form on the black and white barrier created by the Saiyan Twins, and you started to get worried. Schala had her eyes closed as she focused on her spell. You didn't want to alarm her, but... if she didn't do something soon then everyone would die!

The final layer of the barrier shattered, the sound of glass breaking filled your ears as Schala opened her eyes and triumphantly screamed the spell's name. "Dimensional Barrier!" Just as you were about to be consumed in the bright blue light of Lavos attack, Schala's barrier expanded outwards and easily pushed the attack backwards, as if the wave wasn't even there. It was almost like the beam attack wasn't even interacting with Schala's barrier, and was simply disappearing instead of colliding with it. "Haaa... haaa...." She looked light-headed after using the spell, and clung to you for support. "Can't... rest yet." She resolved to keep fighting as she looked at Lavos.

"How long can you keep this barrier up for, Schala?" You were glad at your vision of the future being proven wrong thanks to Schala's intervention, but... it was odd that somebody else took the initiative and changed what you saw instead.

"A minute at best... but that's not what I created it for... this barrier... it's not blocking the energy of Lavos' attack at all... it's storing it." She sounded utterly exhausted, the barrier she had formed was clearly many times superior to even what Magus was capable of.

"It's... what?" You were surprised at Schala's revelation, and she smiled weakly.

"It's complicated, but... think of the barrier surrounding us as a portal... and portals... go both ways! Now!" She suddenly commanded her magic to do... something, and it was only when Lavos' attack started to get pushed back by a beam twice as wide that you truly realized the power of the barrier.

Lavos screeched as it realized what was happening, as the beam it was firing was effortlessly pushed back by a stronger version of itself, until finally, the beam reached Lavos' mouth, and with a colossal explosion that would've sent everyone flying had it not been for the barrier, Lavos' head had been destroyed, leaving only a gaping hole in the shell where it had once been.

With the imminent threat gone, Schala finally allowed herself to collapse, but you caught her before she hit the ground. You would've praised her for her powerful magic, but... she was already asleep by the time you caught her.

You laid her on the floor gently as you stood to face the hole to the inside of Lavos. Whatever you would find inside was sure to be just as great a challenge as the exterior. But... before you could venture inside to destroy Lavos once and for all, you needed to decide on something important. You looked at Schala and then at the rift in time that you had come here through. Somebody would need to remain behind to look after Schala and inform everyone else of what was happening when they arrived. You had asked the voice of the girl to ensure that they ended up coming through the portal at the same time you did, but... considering that the Chrono Trigger activated and reversed time... could it be that she was unaware of the difference in time between the two locations!? You ventured over to the now completely undamaged Chrono Trigger and put it back in a pouch. You hadn't expected it would survive being used, but you certainly weren't going to complain either.

You looked over your allies, who were already a little bit worse for wear thanks to the energy drain that the initial clash with Lavos had caused them, but they were otherwise fighting fit. "Alright, everyone. We're going to need to have somebody stay behind with Schala and to wait for the others, so I think..."

>Choose one ally to stay behind. (Who?)
>Just... wait for Schala to recover and for Crono and his group to arrive.
>Other(Write-in)

Flea's magical breadth is good enough to keep an eye on what's happening further in lavos, I reckon, but by no means is he a heavy hitter like the rest of us.

>>5050581
>Magus
He's our strongest ally but we shouldn't keep him from his sister. He'll catch up with Team B when we need him.

And damn, Schala is amazing.

Yeah, but Magus knows healing Magic, so he can help her get up the fastest.

"Magus... would you mind staying behind with Schala and to tell the others what's going on if they arrive?" While Magus was an incredibly powerful member of your group, his ultimate goal was in protecting Schala, so he definitely wouldn't appreciate being asked to leave Schala with somebody else, but at the same time, you couldn't afford to give Lavos the time it needed to recover from Schala's attack.

"Of course. As soon as Schala recovers, we'll both join you... that is if you haven't already dealt with Lavos by then." Magus was in a much better mood than he usually was, though victory being so close was obviously affecting his mood a great deal, not to mention that he'd finally managed to get Schala to some degree of safety. At this point, no matter what happened, so long as you could get Schala away from Lavos, then you'd avoid the terrifying future in which the beast regained the strength that even the gods feared. But... even if you'd managed to achieve a small victory in averting that... it wasn't yet what you set out to do. No, you were here to destroy Lavos once and for all. "Good luck."

"Thanks, Magus." You turned away from the spellcaster and his sister, looking towards the hole that had been created in Lavos' shell. "Everyone. I don't know what we're going to find within, but... be prepared for anything... I get the feeling we've not even seen the half of what Lavos can do. Especially now that we're directly threatening it by going after the core."

"Understood." Parzlee nodded. "I don't think anybody is going to underestimate this damn thing after what we just went through." Her comment was met with murmured agreement from everyone else. The way Lavos' attack just cleaved through your best defensive efforts was a terrifying reminder of just what sort of opponent that this was. Where one wrong step would lead to your death.

"Good. Then follow me, and... be careful. I don't want anybody doing anything stupid. We attack whatever we find together and don't take foolish risks." This opponent was far too strong for something like that. When you entered, you found that strangely enough, the inside of Lavos seemed more... spacious, than it was on the outside, as if the outside of Lavos could somehow easily fit inside of its own shell. It was a bizarre violation of the rules of space, but you somehow doubted Lavos cared. The strange creature clearly worked off of different rules to normal reality.

There were strange alien constructs scattered all around the dark blue interior of Lavos, despite the fact that you were inside the monster right now, it almost seemed more like a naturally occurring cave. You stayed on your guard, prepared for an attack at any time, but... nothing came. Instead, you eventually found yourselves exiting the odd cave-like corridor within Lavos and... into some form of large chamber. The chamber was far more biological in appearance than what you have just come from however, a putrid yellow and green colored floor that was both spongy and full of tiny holes. At the center of the chamber was a large opening that likely led deeper inside Lavos. The walls of the chamber you had found yourself in were strange too, with patterns running down them, they almost looked to be made out of the same material that Lavos shell was made from.

"What a strange creature." You remarked, despite being such a menacing threat, you couldn't help but find Lavos fascinating, the power of the monster wasn't the only reason you found in interesting either. An odd thought to have, and one that directly conflicted with your nature as a Saiyan, but... there was clearly more to Lavos than just being a monster that consumed all in its path. It had apparently set life up on the planet to achieve a goal, after all. It wasn't simple raw power.

"Yeah, if you could stop gawking at the pretty patterns on the wall, boss? We kind of have to find where that bastard is hiding itself... or should we just blow up the place from the inside?" Euca broke you out of your concentration, clearly bored at Lavos not having shown itself yet, and then you felt something... terribly odd.

From below, you could feel the energy of yourself... but not just yourself, the energy of Magus, of Khive, of Parzlee, Euca, Sycam... everyone! ""What the...?" It was a completely bewildering sensation, but the energy was getting closer and closer. "Everyone! Prepare to fight! Something is coming!"

"Any ideas on what we're up against here?" Sycam drew his sword as he readied himself for a fight.

"...Us." You didn't know what else to say, that was the energy you felt, but then two three pronged hands forced the hole in the floor open wider, and a monster crawled out of it. Chitinous plates lined the skin of the humanoid figure, though it had no legs, it was large enough that it could easily reach anywhere within the chamber with its arms. As liquid dripped from the bizarre monster that had not only the same feeling to its energy as everyone present, but also the same feeling you got from Crono and his friends, and from Dalton and Zeal too!

"What the hell is that thing?!" Euca now clearly regretted her early bravado as she stared directly at the glistening monster. The Scouter was having a nightmare deciding on a number for the monster, it kept glitching out, clearly unable to get a pure read on something that was seemingly composed of so many different energy sources. Biological looking pipes slowly made there way towards Lavos' core and connected onto it, and a secondary set of arms sprouted from its head to secure the pipes that had connected to its head. Even you were a little nauseated by that.

"It's Lavos! It's... somehow managed to copy our energy! I don't know how, but... we need to work together!" Whatever Lavos had done, it was clearly a greater threat than even you were giving it credit for. Having managed to somehow copy your energy in the time it had taken you to reach this chamber, and likely your powers as well. There was no doubt about it, this power stealing monster was the true form of Lavos. "Get Ready!"

"The arms! Focus on destroying its arms! If it loses those, then we'll greatly decrease its ability to both attack and defend itself!" The fight hadn't even truly begun yet, but you could already see what needed to be done. If you could disable the monster by focusing on crippling it first, then it would have nothing to defend itself with when you actually moved to kill it. Not only that, you'd also remove its ability to attack too!

The monstrous humanoid roared as it held out a hand towards you and your allies and began to charge up a white ball of energy. "No way!" Your eyes widened as you recognized the attack, and the energy suddenly split into two balls which were shot as two waves that spiraled around each other as they flew towards you. You leapt out of the way of the attack, which was apparently aimed at you, and it did exactly as you expected it to, readjusting its course towards you. "If you think you're going to do me in with my own attack, you're dead wrong!" You formed two Ki Flechettes in your hands and fired them at the helix patterned wave, which was destabilized and exploded after they made contact with the copied Spiral Mirror Wave.

"Demon Shine!" Euca made use of the moment that Lavos was distracted to attack, firing a black wave of energy towards the monster, and Sycam was quick to also make his move.

"Sword of Orochalcum!" He raised his sword to his face, and began to charge it with energy all while Euca's attack was still in flight. "Champion's Strike!" He brought his blade down, and a slash shaped projectile of red and green energy went soaring towards Lavos, who quickly took notice of the attacks, but instead of actually responding to them with an attack of its own, it simply waved one of its arms and allowed the released energy to detonate the two attacks before they could even touch it. "N-no way!" Sycam was bewildered at how easily his attack had been dealt with... he really didn't have a lot of luck when it came to his fights, did he?

Lavos roared as it turned its attention to Sycam, firing a blast of energy at the Half-Saiyan before he could recover from his failed attack, what's worse, the second blast of energy had clearly been copied off of Euca! Her wave attack was far more powerful than a standard attack! You started towards Sycam to get him out of the way of the attack, but before you could do so, somebody else took care of things for you.

"Demon Disks!" A half dozen orange disks appeared from behind Sycam and cleaved through the wave of energy, intercepting it by traveling right through it and towards Lavos' arm, this time it was Lavos who was unable to react in time, and there were no allies who would come to Lavos' aid either, so the orange disks hit their mark. The powerful hand sized spinning disks of Ki mangled Lavos' hand quite horribly, traveling up the monsters arm before they finally dissipated. You turned to look at the surprise savior of Sycam, and there you saw Flea. "Huh, that was a little more effective than I was expecting."

Lavos screeched in rage as it directed another wave of energy at Flea with its good arm, but Flea dodged out of the way of the clumsy attack, driven by rage, Lavos was incapable of accuracy.

"And I thought I wasn't suited to fighting! You might have a lot of power, big guy, but if you're just going to flail around like that, you'll never hit me!" For somebody who got caught so easily back at Magus' castle, Flea seemed to be pretty good at dodging. That being said...

"Don't get overconfident, idiot!" You barged Flea out of the way of the rebounding Mirror Wave that Lavos had fired at him, before you threw another Ki Flechette in order to destroy your own attack once again. "This thing knows all of our techniques, and worse still, can use all of them too! Don't let your guard down!"

Flea frowned at his failure to realize the danger, though he had still done an excellent job at doing as much damage to Lavos as he had. Khive and Parzlee were both attempting to run distraction by firing balls of Ki at Lavos while remaining mobile and darting around the chamber, but that strategy seemed to not be bearing much fruit as Lavos was powerful enough that their attempt to distract it was probably just annoying it if it felt anything at all from the attacks. You looked at Lavos' right arm, mangled to bits as it was. Cutting attacks... it's weak to cutting attacks!

While we're waiting, who's your favorite candidate for the Rettacebowl?
Parzlee, Khive, Euca or Flea?

>>5052732
Schala

>>5052732
Lucca. Euca and Flea are tied for seconds. I'd go for Ayla if she wasn't taken. Maybe Magus if he loosens up a little.

>>5052761
>>5052793
Something tells me we won't get to keep chilling with Schala, Lucca, and all the other CT cast members after this arc.

I hope I'm wrong though, Schala's great.

>>5052732
Schala or Flea would be fun; if they aren't options, Parzlee AND Khive. Or else neither. Let's not inject drama and jealousy into our core group.

>>5052832
The others have a life to go back to but Schala and Magus don't. Their kingdom was destroyed and we saved them both from a terrible fate. I don't see why they wouldn't want to come with.

>>5052832
Flea doesn't have any attachments besides whoever he's loyal to at the moment, so at the very least he might stay.
>>5052892
Schala will want to go back and help the people of her era, and Magus goes wherever Schala goes.

>>5052925
I can see Lucca coming along just for the chance to discover more alien tech

>>5052732
Schala for me too. Lucca second.
>>5052925
We'll ask her, see if she says no.

>>5052732
Only Rettice had been characterised sufficiently to have any chance and selfcest is shit.

Parzlee is next, with Khive about equal.
The other two have very little, as a result of this ensemble cast.

>YOU NEED TO FUCK MY SISTER RETTACE

"Khive, Flea, Sycam! Use you cutting attacks with your Ki! It's not as protected against attacks that cut into it!" Whereas normal attacks wouldn't do pretty much anything to Lavos in this form due to just how powerful it appeared to be, cutting attacks seemed able to cleave through whatever protection the monster had.

"Understood!" Khive quickly responded to your command and formed a blade of Ki around her right hand, it was a little longer than the last time you saw it, and it seemed like she had been practicing with it when you weren't watching. That Ki Blade of hers was an exceptionally deadly weapon, and if she landed a good clean hit with it to its neck, even Lavos should be killed.

Your other two allies didn't feel the need to respond verbally to you, but Sycam drew his blade and coated it with a layer of his own Ki, causing the green metal to shine in the darkness of the chamber, and Flea just kept throwing his Demon Disks at Lavos.

Lavos roared once again as it began to target Flea, releasing a wave of invisible pressure that caused the Demon Disks to explode before they could even touch Lavos again and blowing Flea backwards thanks to the invisible burst of air. Sycam and Khive managed to hold on to where they were, while Euca and Parzlee hung back, darting around the chamber looking for openings they could exploit against Lavos while he was distracted by the people with cutting attacks.

Sycam fared a little better this time, using his sword and shield, he was able to directly confront the now one-armed Lavos in a physical confrontation, using his shield to block Lavos' attempt to hammer down on him with his huge left arm while he used his blade to lash out at Lavos whenever an opening presented itself, slashing into Lavos' body and arm multiple times while Khive took advantage of Lavos' distraction and darted around close to the monster, using her Ki Blade to carve into the monster's flesh as she raced around it.

You weren't going to let your allies take care of everything though, and looking at Khive's Ki Blade, you started to figure out the specifics of its creation in your head, it may have come instinctively to Khive, but it was a terribly complicated ability for anybody else to replicate. Your mind raced as you began to break down the Ki Formation processes needed for the replication of her technique, by drawing out Ki from a specific point of her body and then commanding it to stick close to her... it was a similar process to the formation of a barrier, but the amount of Ki used was more concentrated and infused with a destructive quality!

Having figured out the basics behind the technique and surprising even yourself through your high-speed analysis of the technique, you looked at Lavos once again, you'd finish this right now!

Unfortunately, just as you made that decision, Lavos screeched again and a pulse of energy blew everyone away, sending all of you crashing into the walls of the chamber, even though you had been flung backwards, you never took your eyes of Lavos, and you grit your teeth when you saw that Lavos had rapidly regenerated from all of the damage he had taken. Of course he had, the people on this planet and their ability to regenerate from wounds was already annoying, but this somehow took the cake. How were you supposed to kill something this durable if even the damage that you could get through was able to be regenerated with but a moment of focus!

"Damn it!" Sycam picked himself up off the floor first, clearly just as frustrated as you were at the monster. "How the hell are we supposed to damage this thing if it can heal whatever we do to it like that?!" Amazingly, he wasn't all that injured despite being the closest to Lavos when the pulse of energy blew everyone back, seems that his armor had managed to protect him.

"Just keep hitting it, it'll run out of power eventually." Parzlee was the next to get up, she was more obviously damaged than Sycam was. Seems that Sycam's armor wasn't totally useless after all. Annoyingly enough, your own armor hadn't exactly done much for you despite the upgrade it received from Lucca. Was it just the case that dark elemental magic was that rare? It's great being immune to something, but it's less great if nothing seems to use that sort of attack!

"No. It won't." You got to your feet now, seeing everyone else was also getting up as well, nobody was that badly injured, though it was clear that the intent of Lavos' attack was more to just get everyone away than it was to actually kill you all. It must still be adjusting to its current form. "Remember, Lavos has unlimited power. We can keep fighting it for as long as we want, but we're never going to exhaust its power."

"Then... those pipes." Khive pointed out the organic looking tubes that were attached to Lavos. "Those... I think those are what is powering it."

"You... I think you're right!" There were six of the pipes, and if each of them was supplying Lavos with the energy stored in the rest of its body, you'd have to slash each of them. "Parzlee, Euca, distract Lavos! Everyone else, target the pipes! Khive, take the bottom right two, Sycam, you take the bottom left two!" The two of them should be able to slash through both of the tubes with a single attack if they got lucky with their attacks. "The top two are the most dangerous to go after, so Flea, go for the left one and I'll take the right!"

"Understood!" Flea held out his hand and began to form four of his Demon Disks. At the same time, Euca's power soared as she unleashed her full power, and oddly enough... Parzlee's power also soared, a dark aura of energy surrounded her and power was double that of what it was before! Did she learn that while she was playing around pretending to be the demon queen? How?!

Euca of course was no slouch when it came to her own power either, her two horns forming atop her head as she started to race around the room, blasting Lavos with dozens of energy balls, not intending to cause damage, but just intending to be a distraction for everyone else to make their move.

The two girls raced around the room at incredible speed that was difficult even for you to follow, or it would have been had you not taken the opportunity to cast Haste upon yourself two times. As it was, even with the two girls having enhanced their power to great degrees, you could easily track the two of them with your eyes.

"Let's go!" With Euca and Parzlee working on distraction, you commanded everyone else to play their part, with you and Flea dashing towards Lavos' head and Sycam and Khive both rushing to his sides, you formed the blade of energy you had devised over your hand, and though the tip of the blade was only a hand's length away from the tips of your fingers, you decided it would have to do!

In a single instant, four attacks were performed simultaneously. Khive and Sycam succeeded in their goal, slashing through the organic tubes and causing a strange green liquid to flow freely from the destroyed pipes. Your own attack was also a success, slashing through the pipe on your side closest to Lavos' head and causing it to spew out that liquid as well! Which means that there was only one last-

"Yikes!" Your eyes widened in shock as you saw Flea flying upwards towards the roof of the chamber involuntarily, Lavos had managed to see through his attack alone and had retaliated by smashing him away with its huge fist.

"What the hell were you thinking! Those disks are a ranged attack!" You yelled in frustration at Flea, who you could feel was still alive, but badly hurt. "You could've just..." You grit your teeth, now wasn't the time to chastise your allies for poor strategy, and the chances are that Lavos might've noticed what was going on completely if Flea had tried to use his Demon Disks as a ranged attack.

This did however leave you in quite a dilemma, floating right next to Lavos' head, on the other side of the last pipe that needed to be cut. If you didn't cut it, he'd almost certainly just heal the damage done to the other five! You needed to act, and fast!

>>What will Rettace do!?
>Try to get over to the other pipe and cut it.
>Target Lavos' head instead, you can finish this now!

We're in a confined space, and we can clearly see where we need to be. Even with how fast we are, we've seen Lavos has omnidirectional attacks which could prevent us from reaching the pipe through standard means...

As such, it's the perfect moment to bust out our short range teleport and cuck Lavos out of his regen.

We'll get a crit eventually, and I think we'll make it no matter what anyway, hopefully the others show up first though, so they get the EXP too.

You could try to reach the other pipe by dashing towards it as fast as you could fly... but that didn't make all that much sense. Not when you had a much better solution to dealing with Lavos available to you. You had used Haste on yourself twice, but you still had some magic units left in reserve thanks to the conversion of Ki to magic... at least three, with the ability to use your Ki to create more as needed.

"Teleport!" You called out the name of the spell and instantly disappeared and reappeared in front of the last of the pipes. "This will end it!" You slash downwards in an arc, the blade of Ki on your hand easily cleaving through the organic substance the tube is formed of and depriving Lavos of its source of energy. You flipped through the air away from Lavos as it reeled in pain at losing its last source of power. Now it would be working with whatever reserves it had stored in that ridiculously oversized body that it was fighting you with.

"Nice work, Rettace!" Parzlee praises you for your effort, and you nod in her direction. She'd taken a moment to catch her breath now, seeing as Lavos wasn't exactly focused on anything other than what must've been the agonizing pain of being removed from the energy that it was surviving off of.

"Not so tough now you don't have limitless power, huh?!" You yelled at Lavos with a smirk on your face. You were taking great satisfaction at having dealt such a blow to an opponent as powerful as Lavos, though you weren't going to let your guard down either. Lavos was still far from defeated, and all this blow had done was stop it from replenishing itself using the reserves stored in the rest of its body. For now, the core had been separated from the body around it.

You dissipated the blade of Ki surrounding your hand, no longer having use for the potent weapon now that it had served its purpose in severing the tubes that were powering Lavos. Lavos was being eerily quiet now though, no longer was it roaring or screeching, instead, it remained dead still. As if it had stopped responding entirely, though its eyes were affixed directly on you. What was going on? There was no energy being emitted by Lavos anymore.

"Is... something wrong? Did... did we kill Lavos?" Khive asked as she walked towards you. Nobody really seemed what to make of Lavos' sudden loss of functionality. Had you truly done it? Had you really managed to kill Lavos? No, it couldn't have been as easy as just... cutting those six tubes, right?

"I... honestly couldn't tell you." You were no longer sensing the energy of everyone from Lavos, and... it did seem as if there was no energy to be felt from the monster at all, but... at the same time you couldn't seem to come to any single conclusion. "I think... I think we should destroy the rest of the body, just to make sure. Even if there's no energy being given off, I don't think we should be complacent."

"I agree! Is everyone OK with using their strongest attack to destroy Lavos once and for all?" Khive looked around to the rest of your allies, but then-

Two beams of energy were shot forth from Lavos' eyes, the first piercing through your chest and incinerating your heart and the second cutting Khive into two pieces split vertically down the middle.

You clutched your forehead after receiving the warning of danger from your psychic powers, and in that moment, you could tell that you only had a fraction of a moment to choose your way to solve this, you could already see the rapid energy build-up in the monster's eyes, and you knew that you needed to act fast, or else your vision would come to pass!

wasted energy. But it's pretty on brand for DBZ

You had to get out of the way of that attack, and you needed to get Khive out of the way too! You couldn't even afford to spend the time it would take to grab Khive and activate your teleportation, you just needed to move! Now!

Activating your enhanced speed mode, you raced towards Khive, you needed absolutely every single bit of speed that your body could muster to save both her and yourself! You strained your body to your absolute limit as you tackled Khive to the floor, the two of you bouncing across the bizarre, spongy surface that made up the chamber's floor.

Just as you hit the floor, you could feel the searing heat of the eye beams that Lavos had attempted to kill you and Khive with behind you, even after getting away from the attack, you could feel their power. You didn't need to imagine what those beams would've done to you or Khive if they had hit you, either. Your future vision had shown you just what might've happened to you if that happened. The lifeless expression in Khive's eyes as you saw her die in the vision...

"You... shameless monster." You could feel an anger burning inside of you as you stared at Lavos with a newfound hatred. "How... dare you try to..." Your power started to surge within you, a newfound energy was building within you, this... newfound source of energy?! What was it?! "How dare you..." The flash of that future that never came to be had burned itself into your vision. Your own death and Khive's death... brought about through the usage of trickery. Had it not been for your ability to see the future, you and Khive would've been killed... not even through battle... but through a shameless trick by a monster!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBPhMRiZrZQ

"How dare you try to kill my friends! Hraaaaaaaaaaagh!" You could feel your hair start to stand up on end, as a glow of golden power started to surround you. You were stronger than ever, and your power was still building! Lavos' own energy had started to surge now, it looked like the monster was trying to match your growth of power with his own!

"Rettace! Calm down!" Khive looked up at you, grabbing your arm and causing your rage to stop building. "I'm fine... we're both fine! There's no need to do... whatever it is that you're doing!" As her words reached you, you realized that your vision was just that. A vision that you had managed to overcome thanks to your own power. Losing yourself to anger entirely like that wasn't going to do any favors, if your power grew any further than it had already reached, your body would probably tear itself apart.

Immediately, your power stopped surging upwards, but it hadn't decreased at all. Whatever you were about to reach... it looks like you won't reach it now. But this power, you still had access to a great amount of power more than what you had before... your power right now was even greater than what you had access to as a Great Ape!

"Thanks... Khive." You looked your comrade and friend in the eye as you came to terms with your new power. "If you hadn't calmed me down, I probably would've ended up exploding my energy outwards... I don't think I'm really ready for... whatever power I've reached." You gritted your teeth as you tried to restrain the terrible anger you felt for Lavos.

"Rettace... don't you remember the legends?!" Parzlee shouted at you. "That state... it must be that of... the Super Saiyan of Legend!" Was she for real? "Your power... it's out of this world!"

"No. This... this... power. It feels incomplete. I refuse to believe that this is the power of the Super Saiyan of Legend... it's too... unstable. As if at any moment, I'll lose my grip on it." You closed your eyes and focused on Lavos, which was looking at you in curiosity now, if the monster could speak, you were sure it would be asking you questions about this newfound power. But... you didn't have any answers yourself. You were sure that there was more to the power you were now using than this, but... you couldn't afford to second guess yourself now. You looked at Lavos and narrowed your eyes, your anger was already building up once again just from looking at the monster. You knew that you couldn't afford to let go of your rage entirely, lest you lose this power you had achieved before you killed Lavos.

With this much energy, surely we've got more than enough. And with it being a new power... It's very unlikely it'll last, even from Rettace's POV, right? So we should make this thing pay while we still can.

The reason I'm not opting for the warp punch is the new energy is unstable so I wouldn't want to try turning it into magic in case something goes wrong and Rettace blows up.
So we blow off the excess steam the old-fashioned way.
I wonder how False Super Saiyan's getting treated. I figure since it's flooding the user's body with as much Super Saiyan energy as it can fit given the user's current power it's a multiplier of some sort (perhaps the notorious 50X), but once the user gets strong enough to reach about 150M with the transformation it would convert to proper Super Saiyan.

You locked eyes with Lavos, for a moment, you thought that you could see a small semblance of uncertainty and fear in the eyes of the monstrous humanoid. You exploded your power outwards and flared up your aura as you charged towards Lavos. "Hraaaaaagh!" You roared as you rushed towards Lavos before you slammed your fist the into huge creature's abdomen, causing a massive dent within the monster's body before you immediately leapt backwards and dived in again. Swinging one of your legs upwards to slam into the monster's elbow, and using the incredible power of your current state in combination with your motion to cleave the entire monster's arm off entirely with a single strike.

Lavos shrieked as you leapt away once again, and the monster tried to blast you with the same eye-beams that you had already dodged before, but this time, you intercepted the attack quite easily, batting away both eye beams with relative ease.

"That's not going to work." You snarled at Lavos before you quickly began attacking again, quickly closing the distance between you and Lavos and smashing your fist into the upper body of the giant enemy. Then you slammed your other fist into him, then you followed up with the original fist once again, over and over again you attacked Lavos, the monster had been completely overwhelmed by your power in combination with the speed of the Haste spell that had still yet to wear off.

Lavos tried to use his remaining arm to smash downwards and crush you with his bulk, but at your speed, dodging the clumsy attack made out of desperation was child's play. You were far too fast for Lavos to keep up with right now, even if you had dropped out of your state of enhanced speed because of losing your focus, you still had about half a minute left of your Haste spell before it wore off. More than enough time for you to deal with Lavos.

You looked Lavos in the eyes once again, seeing the frustrated look upon the monster's face, if it could talk, it would be screaming in rage about being incapable of hitting you no matter what it tried. Thankfully you were putting Lavos under too much pressure for it to use magic, which you knew it could likely hit you with if it got the opportunity to do so. Lavos had however been under too much pressure to focus on casting such magic for the entirety of the fight!

Smoothly dodging an attempt to grab you out of the air by Lavos using its one remaining gigantic hand, you started to run up his arm. "This will finish it!" You started to convert your overabundance of Ki into a massive amount of Magic Energy, a hundred units in total, and started to form that Magic Energy into the shape you needed.

Spiraling the magic around your right arm and reaching an apex at your fist, you leapt upwards, staring down at Lavos for a moment as the monster's eyes opened wide. "Say goodbye! Spacial! Warp!" You started to rapidly twist the energy around your arm to the point your arm was almost invisible behind the twisting white glow of your magic, and your smashed your hand downwards towards Lavos' forehead.

"PUUUUUUNCH!"

Your fist connected with Lavos' head, and you flipped backwards through the air as your magic flowed into the monster. Everyone around you had been stunned into silence by your performance, you landed on you feet and exhaled as you looked at the white cracks that had started to open up all over Lavos' body as your attack tore it apart from the inside out. Lavos screamed, a shriek that could only mean it was in pure agony.

You finally lost your grip on your anger enhanced state, and you could feel the incredible power leave you as Lavos violently exploded, the massive humanoid had been torn apart and chunks of alien flesh had been left all around the chamber. It... it had to be dead now, right? You were completely exhausted after that last attack, the golden power that had coated you was gone now, and you didn't know if you could access it again.

"Ha...haha..." You started to laugh as you looked at the crater in the middle of the room. You'd done it! You finally did it! Lavos is finally dead! You had killed a being that even the Gods themselves all those years ago had been incapable of destr-

But... the future refused to change.

No.

No no no.

You froze as the flash of the future paralyzed you with uncertainty and... to your shame. Fear. "How... how could this be?!" Lavos wasn't dead... and what you had assumed to be the monster's core... was just... another shell?! You had seen it for only a single instant, but... the true core of Lavos... it was coming, and unlike the monstrous humanoid that you had just slain, what you saw had managed to inspire true terror into even your heart. Into even the heart of a Saiyan.

"Rettace? W-What's wrong?" Khive was quick to ask, but you flung your hand out to stop her from getting any closer to you.

"Stay back!" You barked an order at Khive as you saw chunks of flesh from the huge humanoid start to flow back together, compressing down into another monstrous humanoid, but this time it was far smaller, barely taller than you were... but unlike with the inner form... both you and your scouter could determine just how much power that Lavos had. A power level of over ten million, and... still rising!

Lavos shrieked once again, and the energy of the shriek alone was enough to knock you off your feet and send you crashing into the walls of the chamber, as well as deal some pretty severe damage to you in the process. None of your allies had fared much better against the sudden attack either, having crashed into the wall with just as much force as you had.

You struggled to your feet as you looked at what had to be the final form of Lavos. It had tricked you twice already, but with this power... there was no way this wasn't everything Lavos had. There was a rough semblance of a face on the terrifying creature that made up Lavos' core, and it was looking straight at you. "Heh, you really are a tough bastard, huh?" There were two strange pods that were floating around Lavos now, both seemed to be significantly less powerful, with each only getting a reading of about five hundred thousand.

Lavos didn't dignify you with a real response, but instead only held out one of its arms and began to charge up a ball of energy, if it hit you, you'd surely die.

>>What is Rettace going to do?!

Khive and Parlzee are as usual genius

This... this isn't going to be the end! You won't allow it! "Damn itttttt!" You held out your right hand and put as much of your remaining energy into your shield as you possibly could, going as far beyond your limits as you could as you formed a shining white shield of energy in front of you. The shield flickered with instability, but it was the best that you could manage with your body in such a battered state.

"Rettace! You... you won't be able to block that!" Parzlee tried to take a step forwards after getting up, but her body had taken a bad hit when she was blasted away by Lavos' energy pulse, and she fell after the first step.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T414IgsMc2Y

"J-just shut up and stay back! Khive! Focus on healing everyone else before you worry about me! So long as Lavos is distracted while you do, there's... there's still a chance!" You just hoped that Crono and the rest of his group would hurry up and arrive. It was clear that you and your group had reached your limit now, Lavos' constant trickery and increasing power had finally managed to grind you down to a level where defending against his next attack was impossible.

But... even if it was impossible, that didn't mean you were going to give up. You were a Saiyan... you could never bring yourself to just lie down and die, even against an enemy that was so much stronger than you like Lavos was.

"Damn you!" You roared as the monster fired the ball of energy at you, and you could immediately feel your shield starting to buckle underneath the superior power that Lavos wielded. "Damn you!!!!!" You watched almost in slow motion as the energy ball shattered the barrier and approached you. You could do nothing but watch with resignation in your eyes as the ball of energy engulfed you. The energy burned.

Then... nothing.

You had died.

But... what you weren't expecting were for your eyes to open again, and to find yourself standing in what looked like some fancy ornate wooden room, with... Kami standing in front of you? "Ah, Rettace. It's unfortunate that this ended up happening, but... I did foresee this." The God was relatively nonchalant over the fact that you had just... well, died. Your armor had been ruined too, with only the bottom part of the apparel still in any sense of usability. Looking upwards, you could see a golden halo hovering above you. You really were dead, huh?

"You... knew this would happen?" You narrowed your eyes at Kami as he looked quite a bit guilty, he clearly regretted not telling you about how you'd meet your end on the planet he specifically sent you to, but then he started to speak.

"Do not think ill of me for it, but... this happening was expected, and... you will not remain dead for long, I assure you." Wait... what's that supposed to mean, that you wouldn't stay dead for very long? Where even were you right now... wait, how the hell was Kami here? "Time is a bit... unstable for you right now, to me, it's been years since our last meeting... the being you are fighting on that planet... it is having an effect on time itself."

"You're... going to need to explain in a little mo-" You were about to ask Kami for some more details, until suddenly you were interrupted by a man in a tattered orange and blue fighting uniform, a floating golden halo above his head told you that he was dead too.

"Hey! You! You're... You're a Saiyan, right?!" The man in tattered clothes with spiky hair approached you, impolitely cutting you off from your conversation with Kami and demanding information from you, there was an aged looking green alien behind him with a frustrated look upon his face.

"I... am, how could you tell?" Deciding it would be easier to just deal with this man first, you turned to address him.

"Well, I was wondering... Saiyans have tails, right?" You looked behind you and saw that your tail was freely moving around, having come loose of your body at some point. "You... you're really strong! After my training, I'd like a chance to be able to fight you!"

"Goku... please stop bothering the other dead warriors." The aged green man stopped the fighter, who you now knew of as 'Goku' from harassing you for information anymore.

"Oh, uh... sorry, Kami. I got a little carried away, but... it's not often that I see somebody that strong... I'm really going to need to train harder than I've ever trained before if Saiyans can get as powerful as that!" Wait a second, the green man was also called Kami? Well, the name was more a title, so it did make sense.

"Well, just so long as you remember what your brother said before he retreated back into space, the other Saiyans are much stronger than he was. You and Piccolo may have driven him off this time, but..." The old man trailed off, though Goku didn't look all that bothered.

"It's fine, Kami. When I've finished training with King Kai, I'm sure I'll be more than strong enough to deal with all of them!" His brother...? Goku wasn't a Saiyan name, so... what was going on here? Or could Saiyan naming conventions have just changed that much in your absence? You didn't know what to make of the overly cheerful dead man, nor how he thought he'd be coming back to life, but that did bring you back to the original question you asked Kami.

Turning away from the warrior and the god who was accompanying him, you looked at Kami again. "Right, so... how am I meant to... come back to life?" You really needed to get into the fight sooner rather than later, especially considering that the rest of your allies were still in terrible danger.

"I wouldn't worry about that too much, look up." Kami had a smirk on his face, and you did as you were asked, noticing that the halo above your head was... gone?

"Huh?" It didn't make sense, you were... alive again?!

"Yes, I can't tell the reason why, but... something back on that planet is... bringing you back." You could feel yourself being grabbed by an invisible force as you were dragged backwards, and your vision faded once again. "We'll meet again soon, I am sure..." Kami nodded as you disappeared.

You gasped for air as your eyes opened once again, finding yourself laying on the floor of the chamber where you had just died, your armor was in perfect condition again too, and... your body had been completely restored! That's not all... your power was far greater than it was before you had died! Your Saiyan genes had remembered your defeat and caused you to grow stronger because of it! But... how were you alive again?

Your question was answered when you looked to your side and saw the Chrono Trigger... or at least you saw the Chrono Trigger's shell. The powerful object had seemingly been what had brought you back to life... or so you thought.

"Ch-cheep!" A small blue chick appeared out of nowhere and suddenly started to hop on your chest, "Ch-cheep!" Wait... the Chrono Trigger... hatched!? You knew that it was egg shaped, but... that it was actually an egg?! You got up to see that... everyone was fighting Lavos? No... it wasn't just your own group, but... Crono had arrived too! Schala and Magus were with them as well, everyone was fighting together! It looked like everyone had been healed too, with your Saiyan (or partially Saiyan) allies having become stronger thanks to their genes. You decided to put the blue chick in your hair for now, to keep it safe. You owed it that much considering it had undoubtedly brought you back from death.

Lavos didn't appear to be struggling in the battle, even against so many of your allies, at once. Nobody had noticed that you were alive again yet, but not only were you alive and healed, your energy had been completely replenished as well! Annoyingly enough, it looked like Lavos was doing so well thanks to those two annoying pods floating around it, healing it and empowering it.

I want to get off Mr. Lavos' wild ride.

Well, the name was more a title, so it did make sense.

>"Well, just so long as you remember what your brother said before he retreated back into space, the other Saiyans are much stronger than he was. You and Piccolo may have driven him off this time, but..." The old man trailed off, though Goku didn't look all that bothered.
Shit, you're right. I didn't notice it at first. And it sounds like Goku will train even harder now that he's been inspired by Rettace.

Let's see how everyone else does...
Here we go...
Ayla, Crono, Marle, Schala, Magus, Lucca, Flea, Robo, Frog, Euca, Parzlee, Sycam, Khive

>>5058841
Euca and Sycam are combining their efforts I see.
And Parzlee does some real good damage, always nice to see.
Schala and Lucca are about to get fucked up though.

You had the perfect opportunity to strike out at Lavos now, and you were not going to squander it by revealing your presence. Everyone was far too focused on fighting to have noticed your miraculous resurrection, so absolutely nobody in the chamber had noticed you weren't actually dead... anymore, at least. Charging up a great deal of energy in your hands, you smirked at the inhuman looking monster. Only about a minute ago you had died at Lavos' hands, but despite that... you couldn't be feeling more confident.

With the spiral mirror wave fully charged, you couldn't help but laugh as you roared at Lavos. "Hey! Lavos! Dodge!" You launched the shining white spiraling energy wave at Lavos, which was clearly quite startled at your sudden resurrection. It seemed that even Lavos had written you off as dealt with and no longer a threat. The wave itself wasn't powerful enough to really do that much damage to Lavos itself, but that was never your goal in attacking here.

The monster raised its arms to defend itself from being hit by your attack, but just as the wave was about to collide with Lavos, you had the mirror wave split apart and attain new targets, namely, those two pods supporting Lavos with their magic!

Lavos shrieked in alarm as the energy waves screamed towards the two relatively harmless looking pods that were floating around it, and in the blink of an eye, the center more humanoid pod dashed into the path of one half of the mirror wave preventing the pod on the right from being damaged. The pod on the left was triumphantly destroyed entirely though, the pods might've been strong, but with your now enhanced power destroying them was a simple matter.

""R-Rettace?! You're... alive?!"" Khive and Parzlee both spoke in unison as you floated triumphantly in the air, readjusting yourself after having thrown the energy attack.

"It's going to take a little bit more than death to stop me, you two." You boasted, enjoying the moment for a brief second before refocusing on Lavos. "I was out of it for a second there, give me a status report!"

"Right! Everyone else arrived just as you took Lavos' attack, and Schala managed to use her barriers to seal off Lavos long enough for Marle and Khive to heal everyone's wounds! Everyone... except you..." Parzlee frowned. It was obvious to you that she wanted to know why you weren't dead anymore, but you didn't have time to go through the explanation right now.

"Don't worry if you were unable to heal me, I really was dead for a moment there. It just didn't stick." It was odd, explaining that you really did die, but you knew that it was unlikely that you'd be believed, even if they had seen you die. There were many explanations that were easier to believe than you having actually died and been brought back to life.

"You know, you're really not making a great deal of sense here." Magus joined in on the conversation as you dodged a clumsy energy ball from Lavos, who was only now retaliating against you. "Not that I'm complaining, we could do with the help." It did look like there was something of a stalemate between your allies and Lavos. The monstrous being had clearly been incapable of dealing with all of your allies working together. There were enough people fighting Lavos right now that even when somebody made an error, there was always somebody to bail them out.

You could see Lavos attempting to defend against all of your allies' attacks again and again, but... why was it being so defensive? With a Power Level of around ten million, there wasn't anything that your allies really should have been able to do to stop Lavos... yet somehow, other than when he had killed you, he hadn't managed to even really harm any of your other allies. Why was Lavos fighting so defensively? Unless...

Suddenly, the right core pulsed with power, and the left core reconstituted from... nothing at all! Damn it... it was still capable of regenerating itself, even now! But wait... it took specific action to defend to pod on the right... so maybe if that was destroyed, it would lose the ability to-

"Everyone! Watch out! Lavos is going to alter time!" Schala's worried voice suddenly took you out of your thought process as she alerted you to the danger, and as she had warned, the right pod started to gather a massive amount of energy.

"What?!" You demanded more information as you fired another blast of energy at the right pod, though this time at the same time as the rest of your Saiyan allies, only for the attempt to be blocked by Lavos once again.

"Just... hold on! I'll try to ease the effects it has on everyone here!" You didn't know what Schala meant, but it didn't matter. You braced yourself for the worst, and as you did, the chamber you had once been standing in disappeared, being replaced by a world of fast moving green energy. "We... we're traveling through time right now!" It wasn't like the travel you had experienced through using the Time Gates, no, the travel through the time gates was usually near-instant. This however... it was like you were trapped in a maelstrom of time flowing past you. Locales and landscapes flashed past around you, some familiar and many unfamiliar. "Lavos is... siphoning power off of the planet itself! Off of... every moment in time at once! If he's not stopped... he'll absorb the entirety of the spiritual energy of every being that will ever exist on this planet over the course of millions of years!" Schala sounded incredibly worried now.

"Don't worry. He's not going to absorb anything." You declared with confidence.

It was more to see if anybody would crit or crit fail, but Lavos is simply too powerful for anything else to matter that much, and on the flipside, there are too many people watching each other's back fof a minor fail to matter that much.

Then kick Sycam and Eurcca's mum's ass, just to say we did it.

I'm all for that, but with Schala saved I don't see how it could happen. Lucca will need some time to repair our spaceship anyway.

After that we should head straight to planet Plant, find it gone and be brought up to speed. We don't even know that the Tuffles got genocided or that the Saiyans got conquered iirc.

That is an impressive amount of 87s... I'll give you something special for that.

>>5059601
Nice!

You fixed your glare back onto Lavos, and you could tell that it really was now or never right now. If Lavos was allowed to absorb the energy of the planet in the way it was trying to, then it would be the absolute end. The amount of power that it would gain from such an action was just... unreal. That much spiritual energy over such a lengthy period of time would make Lavos thousands if not hundreds of thousands times more powerful. You knew just how ridiculous the energy could be gained from such an action could be, even if the average power level of a lifeform was 5, if that much energy was converted into spiritual energy for every being that had ever existed on the entire planet, then the resulting power would be almost impossible to fathom.

As you stared at Lavos as it started to gather the power into itself, you made your decision. Lavos would die, and you would be the one to strike it down. You formed the Ki around your right hand into a blade once again, this time it was longer and more stable than the one you had previously used against his last form, and all the more deadly for it. This would be the weapon you would use to kill Lavos, you could only hope that you were capable of actually cutting through Lavos with it. All you would need to do was destroy that Pod on the right, that wasn't just Lavos' source of healing, it was also the source of the time disturbances too! Even though the power level was so much lower, it was all a trick! That pod must be the true core!

"This is it!" You fully formed the Ki Blade and gathered the Magic Energy inside yourself. You needed to be as fast as possible for this next part, so with a quick silent cast of Double Haste upon yourself, and by focusing to enter your enhanced speed state, you were ready. You took a deep breath as everyone else was still trying in vain to damage Lavos with their energy attacks, though they would only be blocked by the monster, and nobody wanted to get into close range with Lavos' humanoid body in order to use Ki based blades upon him. The only one of your allies who had a ranged cutting attack was Flea, and his demon disks simply weren't strong enough to overwhelm Lavos from a distance, a veil of energy shielded Lavos from the effects of the cutting attack.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mcHP1HYkds

Gathering your magic energy and converting some of your Ki to replenish your reserves, you closed your eyes for just a moment. "Teleport!" You roared the name of your spell as you willed yourself to appear behind the right pod, swinging your arm downwards with the hope of slashing the right pod in two!

But just as you were about to slash the damned core into two pieces, the humanoid body of Lavos appeared in front of you, using its two freakishly oversized hand-like appendages to clasp around your Ki Blade, preventing you from finishing your strike and finishing off Lavos once and for all. Lavos looked at you silently, the alien's deadly visage was cold and furious.

"Not, so... fast!" you powered up as much as you could to try to force the blade downwards, but it was no good, with the way Lavos had grabbed onto the sides of the blade, and with how much stronger Lavos' main body was than you, it was a pointless endeavor. You couldn't budge the blade a single bit, and Lavos was already preparing a counter attack to attempt to finish you off once again.

"Ka-Kacheep!" The bird in your hair suddenly started to chirp, and you were confused for a moment. What was it doing? It might've saved you from death, but... you couldn't even sense the creature's energy! It must be so weak physically that sensing such things was impossible!

Just as you were about to attempt to teleport away from Lavos to attempt to strike out at the monster once again when a better opportunity was presented to you, you felt the Ki Blade start to shift downwards. Somehow, you were overpowering Lavos now, despite being so massively overpowered by the monster, you were the one winning the engagement. The Ki Blade... it felt different. As if it had been empowered by an energy that was not your own, but... that wasn't important right now. What was important was taking your opportunity when it presented itself!

"Die!" You cleaved downwards with the Ki Blade, and the humanoid form of Lavos as well as the Right Pod that it had attempted so valiantly to defend were slashed in two by your Ki Blade. The monstrous enemy gargled some noises for a moment before the separated pieces of the once terrifying adversary began to... glow. You stayed on your guard as the pieces of Lavos, as well as the restored Left Pod, first turned to dust, and then blinked out of existence entirely.

"Kacheep! Kacheep!" The bird that you had put in your hair for safe-keeping now decided to come out of the relative safety and start to flutter around your head. Had... it been the one to help you deal with Lavos once and for all? It landed on your left hand, looking overly smug and proud of itself before you quickly put it back in your hair. You needed to get out of this place.

"Everyone! We... we did it!" You called out to your allies, who were silent as they stared at you, were they that shocked by your defeat of Lavos? The only one who wasn't completely stationary was Schala, who was looking around with a worried expression for whatever reason. You supposed that it was quite impressive though, you single-handedly defeated the monster at its best after quite literally coming back to life. It was strange, but they all suddenly seemed to come to their senses at the same moment.

In those few instants, a few things started happening all at once. The first was that the glowing world of shifting time around you started to shake uncontrollably, the second was that your allies didn't yet seem to realize that Lavos had been killed at all, still in their fighting positions, and the third and perhaps most strange of everything, was the portal in the middle of the chamber that had opened up.

"Come on! All of you need to come through right now or else you'll be lost in the Darkness Beyond Time!" A familiar voice from beyond the portal called out to you all, and you immediately recognized it as the girl from before. "Come on!" The shimmering purple portal called out to you, and you looked at it for a moment.

>What will Rettace do?

In a way I'm kinda sad Khive was not the one to slice Lavos up since she was the best at Ki Blades. It felt like would have been some kino build up and foreshadowing of her skills.
Well, maybe if this had been a proper story and not Quest where (you) is supreme after all. Oh well.

>>Go through the portal to wherever it might lead.
Time to meet the Time Patrol.

>>5059763
>Go through the portal to wherever it might lead.

Nice new move. This must have been the something special.
>Space-Time Blade: A technique that can only be used with the express permission and power of the yet unnamed Time Bird that hatched from the Chrono Trigger, a ludicrously deadly technique that is infused into a Ki Blade that doesn't just destroy a target that it hits, but erases them from history entirely, ending their threat once and for all. Because of the power of this technique, it can only be used if the target is a threat to time itself. As this attack cuts both space and time, most forms of evasion and defense should be impossible.

>>5059763
>Get everyone through the portal

>>5059775
DB is about whoever is the strongest. We are the strongest, so Khive can't really compete against a bullshit thing like Lavos.

also FUCKING HELL>>5059778
"Erased from history"? So that means that Lavos never existed, effectively rendering most of ou- You know what. Fuck it, time travel rules suck, lets just get back to our timeline.

>>5059844
>We are the strongest, so Khive can't really compete against a bullshit thing like Lavos.
Neither could we until Toki Toki Hax.
If we're gonna get at that Lavos Core should have won second 1 if we go by the powerlevel reading here >>5057371 since even as Oozaru Rettace, the strongest of the bunch at peak, is still at least ten time weaker than Lavos was at the start of the fight.
And the whole point of the Ki Blades is that they are a fuck you to powerlevels and can shank even people who're technically "stronger".
Look at what Schala did despite her piss-poor Powerlevel when absolutely no one could touch Lavos in any meaningful way.
We're measuring Powerlevels for funsies first and foremost so let's not go all unga bunga higher number da bes.

>>5059846
Don't worry about Khive not landing the finishing blow on Lavos too much, I've got a lot planned for the Saiyan allies in the coming arcs.
>>5059844
The 'Erased from History' bit means that Lavos' existence has been irreversibly removed from the universe, and outside of time travellers, nobody is going to be able to remember it. The actions that eventually led to Lavos' defeat however have not been altered though, so the history of the planet exists in a strange state of flux where the things that led to Lavos being defeated still happened for seemingly no reason.
Anything else would lead to some tremendous time paradoxes.

>>5059846
I did mean "He is the big boss of the level, we are an active protagonist as well as being stronger than her, smarter than her and better at fighting than her and she never really stood a chance with all that in mind."

She simply never had a chance, if we are looking at this from the perspective of the quest, with even Magnus having more of a claim to thematic victory and Lavos' being stupidly powerful meant even he couldnt keep up.
I'm not saying "our number bigger so we win" I was saying she just didnt have it in her.

>>5059851
>I've got a lot planned for the Saiyan allies in the coming arcs.
Looking forward to it.
I'm not sure why but I've gotten kind of attached to Khive. Guess I'm a sucker for her type of character.

"You heard her everyone! Through the portal! Now!" You barked a command to the rest of your allies as you dashed towards the purple tear in space, your allies were quick to recover from the confusion of the current situation and soon began to follow you as you raced through the portal to god only knows where.

You were the first to reach the portal, and while you hesitated for a moment, not wanting to potentially leave your allies behind, you put the thought behind you. You were their leader, and it was up to you to set an example for them all to follow. Going through the portal was a potential danger, after all, none of you had the faintest idea of where this opening could take you. That's why as the de-facto leader of at least half of the group, you took the initiative.

Seconds after jumping through the portal, you were ejected from another portal, tumbling across a grassy floor with a good amount of velocity before you came to a stop, you weren't at all hurt from the tumbling though. As you came to a stop, the small bird that saved your life fluttered out of your hair and hopped down onto the floor. The rest of your allies were also rapidly ejected from the portal, heading in your direction, so you had no choice but to scoop the bird off of the floor and leap to your feet in a single smooth motion, avoiding getting buried under the pile of your own allies.

"Jeez, you guys... you could've taken it a little easier, y'know? You didn't all need to pile in as quickly as you could." You saw the speaker as you looked around, it was the voice from before, and... it belonged to a short pink girl wearing some form of robe-like outfit. "That aside though, I'm glad that all of you are OK! You've all done history a great service!" She clapped her hands together, before she stopped and looked at you and the bird that you were holding. "But... some problems are going to arise too, because of what ended up happening."

"Problems? What are you talking about, and... can you tell me your name now? I'm Rettace, but I'm sure that you already knew that much."

"My name...? Well, for now, just call me the Supreme Kai of Time... and as for the problems I'm talking about, you should look no further than that bird you're cradling in your hands there." She crossed her arms. "It might not look like it, but that bird is... a potential threat to history too." She sighed.

Your eyes narrowed as you looked at the girl, was that a threat? "If you think that I'm-"

"Woah! No, that wasn't a threat, you can trust me on that one, it's just... complicated. I can't really explain things without going into a lot of detail about how time and history works, but... the birth of another Time Bird like the one you're holding shouldn't have been possible. While a corrupted Time Egg could've given birth to a false version of Toki-Toki, the creation of an entirely new..."

"Hold on, you're... going to need to explain this slowly. I'm not exactly well versed in this sort of stuff."

"Sorry, I just... got a little ahead of myself. To tell the truth, I'm actually kind of excited for this meeting, it took even me by surprise, if you'd believe that." She scratched her head sheepishly. This girl was clearly the deity in charge of time... or if not the chief deity, she was at least high up on the hierarchy of controlling it. "Toki-Toki!" She suddenly called out the name of somebody or something, and before long, what she summoned appeared.

Flying around the side of the large main building in the grassy area was... an owl-like bird? "Toki-Toki?" You repeated the name, and the girl smiled.

"Toki-Toki here is a very important being, his existence serves as... something like a foundation for history to be built atop of." The owl landed on her shoulder, and it didn't appear to be that large anymore, maybe slightly larger than the average bird. "The point being that outside of inferior fakes, it shouldn't be possible for there to be more than one existence like him... but, that's not the case with you and that new Time Bird that you're holding."

"What are you getting at here?"

"I'm trying to say that a brand new and stable history has been created thanks to what has happened. Meaning that the future, which... is normally something that is set-in-stone and already written... has yet to occur at all!"

"And... that's supposed to be a bad thing?" You couldn't really understand where she was going with this. How could a non-deterministic future be a bad thing?

"I never said that it was bad." She shook her head. "In fact, it's actually a wondrous occurrence that shouldn't have been possible! But... it could bring about problems... for both your newly created history and the original history that I watch over. There are certain... groups and beings that will attempt to exploit your newly created history for themselves and attempt to direct the flow of time and events to end up helping them."

"So you're saying it's only bad because there are people who might come after me? I don't see how that's a problem, personally."

"You don't, huh?" Suddenly, another voice cut into the conversation, the boy's voice from earlier? He appeared from behind an odd looking contraption, on his back was a blade, but his Power Level was disappointingly low, while you couldn't sense the girl's power at all, the man's power level was a measly five. "Let me show you how bad things can get. That scouter on the side of your head works, right?"

"It does, of course. I wouldn't be wearing it otherwise." It was odd to be questioned on the state of your equipment, but you felt no need to obscure the information.

"Good." Power began to swirl around the man, and his strength began to surge to an unbelievable level. "A million... ten million... twenty million... sixty million... error?!" You couldn't believe how powerful that the man was, he was clearly around your age or only a few years older, but with his level of power, it was clear that even defeating Lavos would be practically child's play to him. He then dropped his power back down to five."What you just witnessed was me using a very small amount of my full power, the enemies that I face are far more powerful than just that much."

"That's quite enough, Trunks. We're not trying to intimidate Rettace, you know." She unexpectedly scolded her underling. "Besides, so long as we keep things under wraps, the only way for anybody to reach into this branching history will be through breaking into the Time Vault itself!" More words that you didn't really understand, but... you were probably not expected to understand.

"Uh... right, sorry, Supreme Kai of Time." The man tried to look innocent, his previous cold battle-hardened personality melted away under the glare of the goddess who he had clearly just managed to annoy.

The rest of your allies were back on their feet now, and were mostly staring around with looks of wonder and amazement on their faces, with an exception of Magus, Schala and Lucca. Magus was simply staring at his sister still, stunned into silence by your final victory against Lavos and the rescue of Schala from the monster. Schala for her part was eyeing the Supreme Kai of Time suspiciously, and Lucca... Lucca was inspecting the odd machine that Trunks had stepped out from behind of.

"Interesting... very interesting... is this a time machine? It has some design similarities to the Epoch, but... there are clear differences too, not to mention the fuel requirement... this isn't like Epoch though... Epoch changed the future by changing the past, but this machine... it would simply create a new divergence in the past that splits into two futures..." It was amazing that she was able to figure out that much from just a quick examination of the machine's exterior as well as the interior.

"H-hey!" Trunks suddenly stopped focusing on you entirely and stood protectively in between Lucca and the Time Machine. "You're... definitely not supposed to be able to examine a time machine like that!" Trunks was protesting pretty

"Maybe if you actually didn't leave it just lying around, you wouldn't run into problems like this, huh, Trunks?" The Supreme Kai scolded the man again, and he just winced.

"And why not?" Lucca responded to Trunks. "It's hardly the most advanced time travel device I've laid my eyes upon, in fact, I'd even go so far as to say that it has a few fundamental flaws in it."

"Fu-Fundamental flaws?! Like what?!"

"Well, for one, the aforementioned fuel requirement is going to be a nightmare to deal with, especially when it appears advanced enough that only a sufficiently advanced time period will have the resources available to create more of it... that brings me onto my second problem with it, the time travel aspect requires fuel to function, so there's a limit to how far it can travel in either direction of time. The final problem I have with it... is that it's a flawed time travel device, the reason that it requires fuel in the first place..." Lucca adjusted her glasses and laughed like a madwoman. "It's because it needs to act as a catalyst for the creation of an entirely new timeline!" She then coughed. "Of course, that's not to say that it's not impressive by itself, by creating a brand new timeline rather than altering the future through the past, it's in many ways far more impressive than simple time machine. Not to mention that it seems to also be capable of traveling in between divergent timelines too! It can actually visit a past that didn't occur in its own timeline!" Lucca actually seemed to have some praise for the machine, even if she believed it to be something of a failure in terms of actually classing as a Time Machine.

"She's... not wrong." Supreme Kai of Time looked pretty shocked at Lucca's effortless examination of the time machine. "But getting back on topic for now, I need to understand what actually happened before I can make any real decisions about what needs to be done. A lot of what happened on that world... it was shrouded to me, so... Rettace, as my officially appointed Time Sheriff, would you like to give an account?" Wait... she was still going to use that title for you?

>>What will Rettace do?
>Give a completely truthful account.
>Tell a mostly truthful account, but leave some details out (Like what?)
>Ask the Supreme Kai of Time a question instead. (What?)
>Refuse to give an account of what happened.

We'll need her to upgrade the scouter again, not a great sign if it errors after 60 million.
