Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:

After having her latent power awoken by Grand Elder Guru of Namek, Karn tested out this power before Raditz, now empowered as well stepped forward. Karn discovered that Turles had ascended to the level of Super Saiyan Three as the two young Saiyans fought, then Karn learned much of the history of the Saiyans he'd never known, along with the origins of his near-unique Berserker power and the fate of its last known wielder. Returning home to the news of Cenoria's pregnancy, and after witnessing his deceased father Tatsu dragging a demon trying to invade New Salda down to hell, life quickly settled back into routine. Days turned to weeks, weeks into months as the Saiyans began enjoying this newfound era of peace. But as we rejoin Karn, just after a long day of training and a filling supper, it looks like that peace is about to be challenged once more.

“Hey Karn, it's me Arctus.” your ally thinks to you out of the blue. “How would you like to get your hands on the hacker who tried to have your kids killed, and set Freeza up to get mind controlled by Babidi?”
“I'm listening.” you reply immediately, your full attention focused only on him through the mental link as you raise your right hand to your forehead. “Who is it?”
“I'm sure you're familiar with the Zoldycks.” he tells you, your jaw dropping in shock. No way, THEY'RE the ones behind everything? “The younger brother, Milluki. He is the one behind everything. He's the one who hacked Dreadzone, bypassing the security to try and get your kids killed. The one who hacked both you and your daughter's ship's security systems, allowing the Lin Kuei to try and assassinate you both. The one who tried to cause the Lucrehulk to self-destruct, and even made the plan for Babidi's move on Planet Namek. He's behind it all.”

“Karn? KARN!?” your wife Meloka shouts, startling you out of your temporary shock. You aren't sure how long you were stunned, but from her worried expression it was longer than you thought.
“Huh? Wha-Mel?” you say, confused.
“Is everything okay?” she asks, you realizing she's holding you by the face with both hands. You THEN realize that your power is running wild, emerald aura blazing while lightning crackles around your body. “What the hell just happened?”
“It's Arctus. He found the bastard who tried to kill the kids back during the Hive war, and the one behind Babidi's attack.” you tell her, Meloka's expression growing deadly serious as well. So you telepathically add her to the mental connection and refocus on Arctus. “Sorry about that. Please, continue.”

For a moment, you're tempted to just telepathically reach out to Silva and appear at their home and level the entire thing. But you reign in your murderous impulse, restraining your burning hatred to allow yourself to hear him.

“I'm in. What's the plan?” you answer, and can almost feel his smirk in response.
“I'm going to be landing on his world in a few minutes.” he thinks to you. “Tekkadan and I are delivering his 'prize' for helping us out in weeding out where the Remnants were hiding.”
“You're REWARDING that bastard?!” you exclaim, both aloud and telepathically. “What the hell?”
“When I'd not known he was the one behind it all, I'd employed Milluki's help.” Arctus tells you. “With promises of one of those Gundams, should we win. And now that we have, Tekkadan and I are delivering the mech to their home. But when he opens it up, at the very moment he thinks his victory is certain, I want YOU to be the one in the cockpit. Grab him, and don't let him escape.”

“But how won't he notice someone as powerful as Karn?” your wife asks, bringing up a good point. “We can lower our powerlevels a bit, but not by that much. They'll know my husband is in it the moment we land.”
“They would, normally. But Tekkadan's spent the past several weeks readying the suit, and installing an energy dampener in the cockpit's lining. If you can lower your powerlevel even by half, the dampener should make your strength seem only as strong as the average Saiyan warrior's. Then when it opens, it'll be too late for him to flee.”

You're liking this plan more and more by the minute. But then he continues, adding a strict command.

“However, you're NOT to kill him.” Arctus adds sternly. “Under no circumstances are you to end him. Not until King Cold metes out justice. I have all the evidence we need to convict him, and see how Old Man Zoldyck wants to proceed. But if you kill him early, it'll devolve into an all-out war with the assassin clan. Promise me that you're not going to let your rage consume you and kill him on sight.”

Well?
>You promise you won't kill him until given the order
>Promise that, unless the other Zoldycks attack you, you'll not kill the little bastard
>Tell him that you can't promise him that absolutely, but that you'll do your best to not let your anger out until it's time

"I promise." you tell him telepathically. "I won't kill him until King Cold or someone else gives the order."
"Very well. Then head on over, and let's get you into the robot." Arctus replies, you and Meloka sharing a look. But before either of you can ask, he continues, addressing Meloka directly. “However, Meloka, I cannot have you here on the ship.
If your massive power is sensed as well, the gig'll be up. Instead I'll have to have you wait there, on New Salda until King Cold arrives as well. Once he's here, then you can come down for support and to watch Karn's back.”

“I see. Very well, I can wait.” your wife replies to him, then turns to you. Wordlessly she flies up, kissing you deep and passionately for several seconds before letting you go. “Go get 'em hun.”
“I will.” you reply, bringing your right hand back to your forehead and focusing on Arctus's power through the telepathic link. It only takes a moment, then as you do you take a deep breath in, then power down as you exhale. Your body shrinks dramatically back down into your base form, powerlevel decreasing by the second. Feeling Arctus's power through the link, you keep dropping your own strength until it is noticeably below his own. Then, with your power now sufficiently suppressed, you focus, and teleport. One instant you are on your home world, the next you find yourself in zero gravity. Which confuses you, but before you can react Arctus grabs you.

“C'mon Karn, get in the robot.” he says, launching you towards the giant mech's open torso. Where the young man your daughter'd healed, Mikazuki, catches your hand.
“Easy, grab on.” he says simply, swinging you to a bar that you can grab onto. Which you do, then look into the cockpit space. Where sits a single chair, two arm grips, as well as some sort of plug into the back of the seat. You notice the opposite, a metal dome-like structure built into the back of the younger man's suit that would no doubt plug into the mech and allow him to pilot it. But how're YOU supposed to move it? And as if reading your thoughts, Arctus flies up to a stop by the both of you.

“Don't worry about piloting, that's what I've got this for.” Arctus says, showing you the small computer screen on his wrist with what looks like an outline of the white suit. “Just get in and get comfortable, I'll remote pilot Bael here when we touch down planet side.”

“Brace for impact. Entering atmosphere in three, two, one.” a voice calls out over the speakers, then you feel it. The entire ship begins trembling, you sitting down in the cockpit as Arctus starts shutting it up.
“Remember, keep your powerlevel restrained.” he tells you before it shuts fully, you hearing it seal completely with a hiss. As the seal closes, several screens come to life around you, showing you what's happening outside the soundproofed, climate controlled chamber. When suddenly Arctus's voice calls out to you, somehow. “Hey, can you hear me in there?”

“Loud and clear.” you reply, Arctus flying up directly to the mech's head where some of the cameras are and looks directly at you.
“Remember, keep your power concealed until the last second.” he tells you sternly. “Even a moment's notice will be enough for someone like Zeno Zoldyck to act. Now, we're landing shortly, so do whatever it takes to stay calm and keep your power repressed.

Taking his advice you close your eyes, focusing only on your breathing as the ship lands, Arctus pilots the suit out of the ship. As he does you open your eyes, seeing it coming to a stop and kneeling beside the roof of a rather large manor. You see the unmistakable figures of Zeno and Silva Zoldyck, as well as several others gathered. You see Arctus standing near the assassin family, bringing the suit to a stop. A rather portly man rushes up to the roof's edge, and you see Arctus give you a serious look, hand over the controls. It's time.

Well? How will you do this?

But despite the cockpit opening, you remain calm. Having focused your mind, your wrath is no longer bubbling over. Instead of letting it run rampant, you've focused it, honing it into a deadly blade. And as you see the fat man's face turn from excitement to shock, you unsheathe it. Your power explodes as you Ascend back into your strongest form, the fat man immediately trying to step back, to get away in his sudden confusion. But you don't let him go anywhere. Without moving a muscle, you focus that razor-sharp rage towards him. With a thought you lash out with your telekinesis, grabbing him with your overwhelming strength and holding him bound.

“Going somewhere?” you ask, voice low and menacing as you remain seated. But he's not the only threat, as suddenly, despite the appearance of not only King Cold but his sons Cooler and Freeza as well, Zeno attacks you.
“DRAGON LANCE!” he bellows, firing a dragon-shaped blast of violet energy directly at you. His sudden explosion of power is surprising, but you're not so easily bested. Focusing your power inward, you condense your blazing aura into the super-condensed Energy Body right as his attack strikes you square in the neck. But you don't even flinch, your energy absorbing the majority of his attack's power. You barely even feel it, eyes focused solely on the one responsible for everything that's happened. And begin dragging him towards you.

“Eeep! F-Father, please! Save me!!” Milluki cries out pitifully, you glancing towards the Zoldycks as Zeno's technique ends, seeing the roof cracked beneath their feet as Cold's imposing Under Pressure hovers in the air behind him. No doubt using its gravity powers to keep the rest of the family pinned in place.
“What is the meaning of this, Cold?” Zeno demands, eyes burning with fury. Yet, despite the others clearly struggling under the intense gravity, he remains seemingly unphased. “You DARE come to my home, and attack my family?! We had a deal!”
“One that your boy over there, in the grip of that Saiyan he tried to murder several times over, broke.” Cold says, you seeing the shock then thousands of thoughts a second go over the assassin patriarch's face. “Arctus, if you would?”


“Of course.” Arctus replies, turning towards you and projecting the display of his computer up into several split monitor displays. Each one showing a strange, golden avatar speaking with not only several different Remnant personnel, but one with that damned wizard Babidi himself. Which Arctus focuses on, dismissing the rest.

“So what you're telling me is, that that despicable bastard Cold's favorite son will be undefended?” Babidi asks him. Then, with what is a distorted voice Milluki responds.
“Yes. I've already set into motion the Remnants' demise by giving Arctus the location of their stronghold.” Milluki says, you and King Cold both noticing the tubby assassin's face go even paler. “As King Cold, Cooler, and probably the Saiyans all attack that stronghold, thinking they'll be hunting you, Freeza will be on Namek, virtually alone. The only real challenge with him will be the Ginyu Force.”

“I've already prepared countermeasures for them, especially that little green bastard.” Babidi says. “His stopping time won't function next time, and indeed will only trap him! Then with his bodyguards busy fighting the Remnants I have here with me, I'll overpower that spoiled brat's mind and bend him to my will! With the power he possesses, Majin Buu's resurrection will be assured! And I'll finally have my revenge on that bastard King Cold!”

“I think that's quite enough.” Zeno Zoldyck says, eyes still filled with fury. “How does some stranger's conversation with the enemy implicate my family?”
“That's the best part. Your son was so arrogant, he tried to attack ME.” Arctus says, switching the feed to what appears to be the inside of your massive ship, the Lucrehulk. But you see Arctus again speaking with this golden avatar, then reaches out using his telekinesis on the figure. At this scene Milluki's eyes burn angry for a moment, no doubt remembering what happened. “After this encounter where, after failing to take control of my Lucrehulk then trying to blow it up, I backtraced him. I followed his trail through spacenet, searching every single branching path and backway to find you. And every single path always led back to one, single place. Here.”

“But that's not true!” Milluki suddenly squeals out, writhing in your grip now like a fish desperately trying to get back into the water. “Nothing ties this back to me! I'm innocent!”
“That's what I thought too, at first.” Arctus continues, again changing the display. But this time it shows Arctus, Cooler, and King Cold all gathered in one room. While Cooler and Cold trash metal splitjaws and Lin Kuei, he's typing away furiously at a computer you've never seen before. But somehow, the building looks familiar. And then you remember it, you've been in that building!

“But when we raided the Remnants' fortress, I went digging through their server and found the most damning evidence of all.” Arctus says, bringing up what look to be some sort of logs. “Each one of these is a call to the Remnants organization, directly from your personal line. The same line you'd given me, allowing you to contact me directly once you'd 'found' how the hacker you'd claimed got into your system and where they were located. If we'd have simply blown up the planet and been done with it, I would never have gotten the proof I needed. But with this, the evidence is concrete. Zeno Zoldyck, your son Milluki is an enemy of the PTO charged with sabotage, attempted assassinations on both General Karn and his family, notably his children, and treason for aiding public enemy number one Babidi unleash the monster Majin Buu.”

“So that's why we didn't just blow it up.” you think to yourself, watching the situation unfold below. You don't spend much focus on Milluki, your telekinetic grip keeping him firmly in your grasp and unable to run away or escape. “He needed to find this out.”

But what do you do?
>Pull him to you, once he's in your hands perhaps he'll settle down and stop squirming
>Keep him out at several arms' length away, but hop down out of the robot and join King Cold and the others facing the Zoldyck family directly

You know how I want to deal with tubby? I want to drag him into the gundam with us, close it and just squeeze him into paste. Let him enjoy the comforts of his robot. His pulverized guts are never coming out of the upholstery after all. There may not be enough room in there at first but with a little bit of pressure fatso will be plenty compressed to fit.

“Do you have anything to say in his defense?” King Cold asks the clan of assassins, all of whom look various shades of outraged and furious. Except for the raven-haired one you'd seen talking to Silver in your ship that one day several months ago, who only looks smugly self-satisfied with everything going on. Almost as if he KNEW this was all going to go down....

“Dammit boy. I TOLD you the Saiyan was off limits!” Silva suddenly bellows angrily, his own pale aura blazing to life around him. But you don't look down at the older assassin, keeping your focus on Milluki's restrained form. Despite being unable to break free of your grip, he's still got full use of his arms and legs for now. So you remain vigilant, staying focused and ready should he tries some sneaky attack towards you or the Cold Clan. “Now look what you've done!”
“I didn't do anything!” he squeaks back weakly in response, trying to curl up into an even more rotund ball, arms going to shield his head as if expecting a blow to strike him. “I didn't do anything wrong! I promise!”

“You claim to have all of this proof, yet I doubt the validity of these claims.” Zeno says, eyes narrowed as he glares at King Cold. “It sounds to me like your dear nephew fabricated false 'proof' to have my grandson killed.”
“I figured you'd say that. Which is why I had the entire server the former Lin Kuei and Covenant Sangheili were using.” Arctus claims, pressing several buttons on his wrist computer. A few seconds later, from the corner of your eye you see several Tekkadan technicians, flanked by more than a dozen of Arctus's B1 Battle Droids on each side as they bring a hovercart down the ramp. Upon it is the entire giant computer you'd seen in the security footage Arctus had shown just minutes ago resting upon it, the machine nearly as tall as the suit you're sitting in's leg. “Feel free to have one of your people go through the information on this machine, and compare it to the information on your son's own devices. I'm sure you'll find the data matching. Unless.... HEY! Milluki! Before we take you away, give them your passwords. Or I'll be forced to break your security and access it all myself.”

“Like HELL!” the portly assassin suddenly roars, pale aura blazing around him as his hair stands on end, lightning crackling around his body as he draws a hand back in a throwing stance. “I'll never let you into my search history!”
“No.” you say with icy fury, reaching out with your right hand. Refocusing your telekinesis, you grab the entire portly assassin in your grip while slamming your open hand shut. Slamming his arms to his sides, legs straight as you hold his body perfectly still. “You're not doing ANYTHING. You tried to kill my kids; you shit. You're lucky I haven't already ended you."

His eyes widen in terror at your declaration, his struggles ceasing immediately, but then you hear a woman's voice call out in agony.

“Not my baby! Don't let that filthy monkey hurt my baby!” she wails, but then her cry is interrupted with another voice, one filled with anger and malice.

“You watch your tongue!” Freeza seethes you sensing his powerlevel spiking as he no doubt goes into his Golden form. “If you call him a monkey again, I'll tear that disrespectful tongue out of your throat!”
“Threaten my wife again, and not one of you will leave this world alive.” Silva declares, his own powerlevel suddenly surging as well. And to your surprise he's a lot stronger than you remember, probably a near even match for King Vegeta's Primal form. Which surprises you, but with the rapid escalation happening below, you're certain this whole thing is about to turn into a brawl. One that could leave several bodies behind, and not all of them those of the Zoldyck clan.

Maybe small spoiler, but she’s been here and hiding since Bael opened up.

Honest question but outside of killing, what would be a good enough punishment/fate that would satiate Karn's vengeance.

>>5468792
Castration, I guess. You tried to take Karn's kids from him, he'll take yours from you.

>>5468792
He made moves to take away something that can't be replaced and will always remain a threat in that regard.
His utter erasure from all planes of existence is the only thing that can happen as far as I'm concerned.

>>5468801
>implying the fat ass neet would have kids anyways.

>>5468810
It's never the measure of a man to simply have children, but how he raises them.
Now THAT is something he would definitely fuck up.

Might be late, but we could kill him, and use DragonForce wish to erase the memory of him from everyone else in the galaxy so it doesn't cause an incident.

>>5468804
Damn, Karn doesn't play around when it comes to his family. Makes it hard to believe that anything outside of that would be a good enough remedy for such fury.

>>5468827
See I would agree to that but do we want to waste what could be months of wait period just to get away with murder.

>>5468843
I agree that it's probably a waste, but also aren't we time skipping anyway?

But it's also the only idea I could think of.

With how tense this situation is, you can't see any way out of it without an all-out war with the assassin clan. So, instead of acting rashly you reach out telepathically to the emperor's father, King Cold directly.

"How are you wanting this to go down?” you ask him seriously. “I'm ready to kill this fat bastard at a moment's notice then join the battle myself, should it come to that.”
“No no, there is no need.” King Cold replies, almost casually in contrast to the tense situation unfolding below. “Zeno knows the laws, and I'm sure any second now he'll try and fall on this sword himself.”
“The sword?” you ask, just before the aged assassin begins speaking.
“I invoke the right to trial by combat.” the wizened killer says, the tense atmosphere below vanishing almost instantly as everyone hears him. “Milluki has the right to prove his innocence in battle against the accuser, Arctus.”

“What?” Cooler, who'd been silently ready to attack says in sudden shock. “You what?”
“Oh? Interesting.” Freeza says. “This shall be good.”
“Trial by combat? Interesting.” King Cold says aloud, turning from Zeno's face to Milluki's. “Do you accept the proposal?”
“Y-Y-Yes! I accept t-trial by combat!” the fat man squeaks out, King Cold turning to you.
“Let him go.” the emperor's father thinks to you, then adds almost immediately. “Gently.”
“Sir.” you reply with a thought, rising from the seat and walking from the Gundam's interior and stepping out onto the roof before dropping him at your feet. He scurries over to his grandfather on all fours, cowering and hiding behind him. Silva then walks up behind his son, grabbing him by the scruff and hauling him upright. He whispers something into his son's ear, who suddenly seems a lot less worried about the trial.

“I-I invoke the right of a champion!” he says shakily. “I call for the right for a champion to battle in my stead!”
“Very well. I shall do the same. And as the accuser, I shall name my champion first.” Arctus replies, glancing to his cousin then up to you, smirking. He then reaches out telepathically to you. “What do you say? Want to do the honors yourself, or should I ask Freeza?”

Well?
>Accept, you'll take whichever Zoldyck wants to try and save that bastard down, then you'll kill him too
>Let Freeza take this one, as long as you get to do the honors on Milluki yourself
>Telepathically reach out to Freeza and see how he wants to settle this

"Freeza can have this one, as long as I get to do the honors on Milluki myself." you say to him, seeing him grinning maliciously. He then telepathically adds Freeza to the mental link, then addressing him as well.
“Well cousin? What say you?” Arctus asks him. “Karn says you can have this one, if he gets to do in the portly one himself.”
“Very well, I shall take the head of the Zoldyck snake myself.” Freeza says telepathically, confidently smirking at Arctus then glancing to you. But he doesn't address you directly, instead ending the mental link as Arctus speaks up.

“I choose Emperor Freeza, my cousin as my champion.” Arctus declares, clearly surprising Zeno Zoldyck and the rest of his family. Even the raven-haired one looks surprised, glancing aside to you as if he was expecting you to take on his family.
“I-I-I choose my grandfather, Zeno.” Milluka says, his grandfather sighing out.
“I accept. I shall battle for my son's innocence.” Zeno says, looking to Freeza. Who laughs.

“Oooohohohohoo. Very well. I, Lord Freeza, shall be the one who defeats the infamous assassin.” he says, clenching his fists and letting his golden aura blaze up wildly around himself.
“This contest needs rules.” King Cold says, his Stand releasing its gravity hold on the Zoldyck clan as he leans back, sitting into its opened hands. “First of which, our arena. I take it you all have a suitable location here on site for this conflict?”
“This roof will do.” Zeno replies, turning to his son Silva. You get the feeling they have a brief conversation, as the larger man nods once, then begins corralling his family towards the far corner of the roof. “This helicopter landing pad will be our stage. First to touch anything other than this roof, or their competitor loses. All force up to death is allowed, as we're battling for my foolish grandson's life.”

“Very well, I accept your terms. Use any technique you wish, assassin. But know that it all will pale before the glorious glow of Golden Freeza!” the emperor declares, taking his wide stance with his arms spread. But as he does, he reaches out to you telepathically. “Watch the rest of them. I wouldn't put it past these assassins to try and jump me while their patriarch holds my full attention.”
“Of course.” you reply, looking over to them all. Where you see Silva holding onto his rotund son's shoulder with a firm grip, probably ensuring he doesn't try escaping.
“No time limits, first to concede, touch down off of this roof, or die loses. Let the battle to decide the innocence or guilt of one Milluki Zoldyck BEGIN!”

“SHYAAAAAA!!” Freeza declares immediately, throwing his left hand forward and unleashing a Scatter Beam at the assassin. Or, more accurately, the assassin's afterimage as he's already on the move. The elder assassin has taken to the air, gathering his energy into his dragon-shaped attack once more. He then fires it down directly at the golden form of Freeza, who notices it at the last moment and leaps backwards to evade the attack. But the assassin turns the attack at the last second, redirecting the shimmering energy dragon directly after Freeza. “What?!”

“HAAAA!” Zeno snarls, his energy construct slamming directly into Freeza's chest. The dragon made of energy bites into him, pushing him directly off the stage! Zeno then twists his hands and arms, redirecting his energy dragon back towards the side of the building! If Freeza hits it, then this fight is over already! “Begone!”
“Nice technique. But such a simple thing-!” Freeza grunts, brute forcing the energy construct's mouth open, then tears it IN HALF! “Is child's play!!”

Destroying the energy creature with ease, Freeza stops himself a mere foot from the side of the building, flying up and landing gently back atop the roof.

“Ohohoho, if that is the best you've got, you may as well surrender now, assassin.” Freeza taunts. “Because now it is my turn to go on the offensive! I shall show you the true terror that is Golden Freeza!”

Oof

Welp looks like Killua is going to be an orphan. You would think the fact they have 3 more kids who are vastly superior to Milluka and fit the assassin's mold better would be solid ground to let the black sheep straight into the wolves for their own blunder if it meant preserving the rest of the barn.

>>5469210

I know. But that wasn't important.

>>5469383
Hey now, don't sleep on Zeno and Silva. I don't think we could get away with taking on ALL of them. Plus, think about the king's friend with benefits Emilia Zoldyck. We only have beef with porky over here.

Man, I hope this isn't in any way insulting or belittling to GD's writing to say, but dealing with Crossover stuff as we are right now is the most exciting part of this quest. The Covenant Wars, the meaty part of the Remnants arc, the current ongoings with the Zoldycks are vastly more interesting to go through than all the canon/movie/OVA stuff we've gone through (Hatchiyak, Majin Buu, Time Patrol mini-arcs). I can't wait until we enter the DC setting proper, because Lobo is an amazing appetizer that leaves me wanting more. I genuinely want to speedrun to Beerus' arrival just to get him over with, rather than looking forward to actually clashing with the Crutch Cat.

>>5469632
>I don't think we could get away with taking on ALL of them
Neither does King Cold, which is why he has arrived personally with his sons, nephew, and the two strongest Saiyans used to dealing with bullshit. He knows the way to deal with them is an overwhelming show of strength.
>>5469656
>Man, I hope this isn't in any way insulting or belittling to GD's writing to say
Oh boy here we go.
>but dealing with Crossover stuff as we are right now is the most exciting part of this quest
Why would I be offended? Seeing how different settings interact is almost always interesting, you already 'know' how canon events generally unfolded before.

>>5469656
I'd be a liar if I said I understood everything since I have a surface level knowledge of Jojo and nothing about HxH or whatever the fuck DC is now, but it's pretty good fun.

>>5469690
I'm also ignorant of most of the anime crossover stuff honestly, but it's never really impacted my enjoyment of the quest.

Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:

Given the heads up by Arctus that the one who'd been behind many events that put his family in danger was one of the Zoldyck clan, Karn accepted a spot in the genius's plan by hiding away in a robot. Where, upon the younger assassin thinking he'd gotten away with everything, was instead confronted by the father whose children he'd attempted to have murdered. A fight nearly breaks out before the Zoldyck patriarch, Zeno, called for a trial by combat. Which was accepted, Arctus declaring his champion to be Freeza as Milluki declared his father Zeno. And as we rejoin Karn, this confrontation is just getting started.

“Prepare yourself!” Freeza shouts, exploding off the ground and charging directly at the aged assassin. Before Zeno can move to escape the emperor has closed the distance, driving his elbow at the elder's chest. Zeno twists aside clockwise, narrowly avoiding the point of Freeza's left elbow. But as the emperor sails past, he twists his entire body counterclockwise, swinging his tail at Zeno's chest. He raises both arms, blocking Freeza's tail with them both. Yet he can't fully withstand the emperor's power, the swing sending the elderly assassin sliding backwards. Finishing his spin, Freeza then fires off a Death Slash with a left backhand, the horizontal blade aimed at bisecting the assassin.

Zeno leans back just enough to dodge the blade, rising back upright just as Freeza fires a second Death Slash, this one a more vertical blade from his right hand. Zeno leaps back, easily avoiding the second blade as well. But this time Freeza closes the position almost instantly, and starts unleashing a barrage of strikes. You see their fight from the corner of your eye, as your main focus is on the rest of the assassin clan. Mainly Milluki and his father Silva, who's hand is still holding onto the rotund man. From what you can tell, he's mainly holding him in place so he doesn't run. Silva's wife watches the fight, standing beside the raven-haired one, who is intensely watching his grandfather battling Freeza. There's also a younger girl you hadn't noticed before watching as well, wide eyes staring at the battle unfolding above her. Probably the first time she's ever seen her grandfather fighting seriously.

But as you watch them, curiously you see another figure suddenly appear next to Silva!? From the attire you'd assume it was one of the staff, the man crossing one arm across his chest and bowing at the waist to the assassin. Who exchanges a few terse words, the man again bowing then vanishing once more?! Shit, this could be trouble!

“You won't escape me!” you think to yourself, expanding your ki sense and tracking the now-invisible man's movements. He doesn't go towards Freeza and Zeno, instead walking to the edge of the building and leaping off. You can sense his rapid descent, stopping abruptly and walking into the estate.
“SHYAAAAA!” Freeza bellows, slamming a heavy right into Zeno's guard, launching him back crashing down to the roof back-first. Freeza then raises his right hand, forming a planet-breaking black orb with violet lightning crackling around it. He holds it for a second or two, giving Zeno a moment to recognize how dangerous the attack is. “Now you DIE!!”

And Freeza pitches the attack straight down at the elder assassin.

Sensing how much power Freeza's just thrown, you know the blast could easily destroy the entire planet, not just their home. So you abandon the mech behind you, flying directly over to the Zoldyck clan and standing between them and Zeno as the Zoldyck patriarch catches Freeza's world-destroying attack.

“What're you-?!” Silva starts as you throw your arms wide, ending your Energy Body as you unleash your energy out from you with a shout of “BARRIER!” Your emerald energy surges out, forming a dome of ki that solidifies into a solid barrier around all of you. “What's this?”
“Brace yourselves.” you say, digging your feet into the building below as you brace your own body as well. “It's about to blow.”
“Wha-?” Milluki asks, then Freeza's attack explodes.

KABOOOOOOOM

As Lord Freeza's attack detonates, everything outside your emerald dome simply vanishes. Everything is consumed by the fiery explosion, you hearing the Zoldycks behind you all start shouting in shock and surprise. But your energy holds, shielding every one of the Zoldycks within your protective energy. The explosion lasts for several seconds, you keeping your shield up until the fires of Freeza's blast fully fade. You then end the Barrier with a sigh, and immediately feel your instincts warning you of danger. So you whirl around, only to see Milluki taking a couple steps back from you. He was far closer that he'd been when you activated the Barrier, and immediately realize what he was probably planning. So you glare directly into his eyes, and with a smirk reactivate your Energy Body.

“Go ahead, give me an excuse to kill you early.” you reply with a voice filled with venom. He pales even more at this, taking two steps back before tripping over his own feet, falling onto his backside and he starts trembling nervously. “What, can't attack me to my face?”
“This is all your fault, you know.” the raven-haired one says smugly to his shorter, rounder brother. “If you hadn't done all this, they wouldn't be here for you now.”
“That's enough.” Silva says seriously, addressing both of his sons without turning his gaze from his grandfather. “Your grandfather is fighting for our family's honor over there. Watch, and maybe both of you will learn something.”

The two boys settle down after this, silently watching on as Zeno rises up from the crater in the roof. Which surprises you that the entire roof is still there, you'd expected Freeza's attack to have destroyed the building at least. Yet it's clear he took the brunt of the blast, his clothes tattered and scorched from the attack. But he still stands, cracking his neck as he raises his gaze back up to Freeza.

“You held back.” he says simply, a slightly accusatory tone to his voice.
“Oh, you noticed?” Freeza replies, drifting back down to stand on the edge of the several foot-deep crater in the heavily reinforced roof. “My own people are here, so I must show some level of restraint. Can't go destroying the world and taking my own subjects out along with you, now can I?”

But what do you do?

As Freeza and Zeno stare each other down, you start walking away from the Zoldyck clan, walking along the edge of the rooftop back towards King Cold and the others. You're not worried standing by the assassins, but as you were watching the two fighters a question had come to mind. One you want to ask of King Cold directly, since you've had time to think. So you walk around the raging battle, Freeza's power forcing Zeno onto the defensive as the emperor relentlessly presses his attack. As you reach the first 'neutral' corner Freeza's pressed Zeno to the edge of the platform by the other Zoldycks. You watch both the fight and the rest of the Zoldyck clan over your shoulder as you quickly step over to King Cold, Cooler, and Arctus,

“Good work, General.” King Cold addresses you without turning his gaze from the fight, Freeza forcing him off the roof and back towards another tower. The wizened assassin keeps his defenses tight, blocking and deflecting every one of Freeza's strikes despite the apparent power gap. “That should have them abide by the rules, once Freeza wins this little scrap.”
“Speaking of, is it just me or is Freeza's powerlevel stronger than it was before?” you ask, turning to stand beside him while watching the fight unfold.
“Perceptive. Yes, I've been...retraining my son from the ground up.” King Cold tells you as Zeno suddenly vanishes, Freeza swinging through the afterimage left behind. His fist nearly strikes the wall that had been at the old assassin's back, but he pulls his fist short. Instead firing off a powerful shock wave that shatters the tower, launching bricks and other materials flying.

But as it explodes, suddenly Freeza is surrounded! Dozens of Zeno are hovering around him now, the afterimages all shimmering slightly as Freeza brings his hand to his chin, pondering. But right as he does, your instincts again scream out at you in warning, something's got a target locked squarely on your back! Immediately you trust in your Energy Body, and rocket yourself backwards at full speed. Before what or who ever is behind you can react, you crash bodily into them. You hear a man's voice grunt from the impact, stopping your momentum and spinning around to see.....Nothing. There's no one there. Yet again your instincts warn you of danger, then suddenly dozens of what appear to be coins appear in the air for several feet in front of you.

“Hmph.” you scoff, arms blurring as you move and catch each and every projectile, even the ones that would have gone wide. Just in case they were aiming at King Cold or one of the others. After two to three seconds the barrage stops, you opening your hands and dropping the dozens of coins down to the ground far below. Yet your attacker still hasn't revealed themselves, so you rapidly expand your ki sense. Revealing the same powerlevel from earlier, the one who'd gone below into the Zoldyck manor. That mystery solved, you cross your arms and address the man directly. “Go ahead, try it again. But your attacks won't even so much as scratch me.”

Then without a word the man launches another barrage of coins. But this time you're not playing around, drawing your right fist back and punching forward with a “HAAAA!” The shock wave of air pressure blasts all the coins aside, slamming into the still mostly-invisible man and sending him flying back. You track his powerlevel as he drops, falling through the air and eventually crashing down to the ground in the forest below. You turn back towards the battle and your allies, only to see more than a dozen figures in similar suits laying dead around King Cold, Arctus and Cooler nowhere to be seen. You then notice your wife was here, her blades clasped in Silva's bare hands standing where his family'd been moments ago. Yet the rest are nowhere to be seen, only a giant hole in the roof behind Silva's feet indicating what had happened. They're trying to flee!

“If you wouldn't mind, go after them Karn.” King Cold thinks to you. “I already sent Arctus and Cooler in pursuit, but they're wily ones. They might escape.”

Well?

I love that flying directly through terrain is a viable strategy now.

"Leave it to me!" you shout, dashing over to the hole and leaping in. As you do, you shoot a quick telepathic message to Meloka. "If you need a hand, let me know."
"I got this asshole, go kill 'em all." Meloka replies with a thought, detonating both of her blades and leaping back, keeping Silva's focus on her and allowing you to head down into the manor without pursuit. You smash through several floors towards the sounds of battle, smashing through a final one emerging into a surprisingly large room.

But immediately you find yourself hovering above a bizarre battle. Cooler is fighting the young seeming girl whose drawn a paper fan, wind twisting around her like a small tornado. With each sweep of the fan she sends thousands of small white specs whistling through the gusts of air she makes, Cooler's Ice Ice Baby creating walls of ice that intercept her attacks. But to your surprise, the gusts actually cut through his frigid wall after several seconds!

“TCH!” Cooler exclaims through gritted teeth, his wall giving him enough time to avoid the blast and fire back with a half-dozen icicle spears. But they're destroyed completely by her gusting winds and the whatever they are dancing around inside her current. You, however, don't have time for this.
“OUT OF MY WAY!!” you bellow, charging directly for the cracked door behind the kid. Who sees you coming and at first sends a trio of small tornadoes your way. But you don't even flinch, using your Energy Body to the fullest and charging directly through them. The surging winds bounce ineffectively off of your armored ki, the young woman leaping aside at the last moment. You slam into the double doors at full speed, knocking both off their hinges as you charge through.

“Ice Ice Baby!” you hear Cooler shout out from behind you, no doubt taking advantage of the opening you'd made him. But you don't slow down to make sure, you have your own target. Surging through the halls, you start to see what appear to be some sort of automated defense system, the machines seemingly cut through by a white-hot blade. Which means Arctus went this way, confirmed a few moments later when the hallway opens up into a larger room and you find him.

>>5470075
Arctus is standing perfectly still, staring the raven-haired man down as his pitch black hair swirls out around his head. Yet neither seems aware of your presence, focused entirely on each other. Which could be a problem, he may have your friend pinned! But then you see it! He makes a subtle move, index finger on his right hand twitching towards the door, instead of at his opponent. And in that moment you understand completely, he's pointing you towards where the rest of the family went! So, without hesitation, you turn from Arctus and charge the next set of double doors, blasting through them as well. Immediately more of the security turrets that you'd seen the remains of open fire, but you pay them no mind. Their energy shots are completely ineffective, the energy streaking across your Energy Body as you keep charging forward.

After a dozen seconds the hallway ends in another set of double doors, you charging shoulder-first through them both. Knocking them both off their hinges, the two doors flying towards the mother and Milluki, who is already breathing heavily. But right before impact another of the black-suited butlers blurs forward, catching both doors in her large hands.

“Thank you Tsubone. Please, protect us.” the woman with the visor says, turning to Milluki and in a scolding tone continues. “Come ON Milluki, move! He's right behind us!”
“Wh-Wha-? Oh shit!” he shouts, scampering to his feet and the two rush towards the far door. While the butler woman, Tsubone presumably, hurls the doors back towards you one at a time. But you don't let them slow you down, charging straight through them directly for the door behind the butler. You've not got time for her. But then, to your complete shock, she braces her feet, and catches you! Despite pushing her back dozens of feet, she actually manages to stop your charge short of the door.

“I will not let you pass, ape.” the woman says sternly, veins bulging on her head as she holds you back, aura blazing. “They are under MY protection!”
“You're stronger than expected.” you reply, leaping back from her and landing on your feet. You then take your fighting stance while focusing your ki sense on the retreating ki of Milluki. You're not letting him get away, no matter what!

-Saiyan Conqueror Quest 186 paused-

>>5470078
And that's it for this weekend, everyone enjoy the ride? Ready to see how the battle of Zoldyck Manor plays out, and what the final result will be? Curious what other sorts of powers will be put on display before you catch Milluki? All this and more, when Saiyan Conqueror Quest resumes!

>>5470078
>“I will not let you pass, ape.” the woman says sternly

lol. This bitch doesn't know what we rolled. We're going to run through her like Indian street food through a tourist's bowels.

>>5470072
Depends on if Killua's been fully processed yet or not. It's at least worth a shot.
And hey...a life for a life, I could see it getting approved by a certain god of death. Killua would take way more lives than the fat fuck would anyways, so it's a net positive for the jergster.

>>5470078
Poor you, you were a real one, damn shame you all die today.

>>5470078
I have no idea who this old woman is, but I'm a bit sad that it has to come to this either way.
Not sad enough to stop mind you, but still.

>>5470083
You also don't know what SHE rolled to stop you.
>>5470094
She's the strongest of the servants, in terms of raw power and physicality.
>>5470099
A longtime servant of the Zoldyck household.

>>5470078
You know the shape of her legs remind me of baseball bats. And how people kick through them.

>>5470112
>You also don't know what SHE rolled to stop you.
DC 85 minimum I bet. Kek wants a show I guess.

>>5470117
Believe it or not, it's not super difficult to kick through the handle of a baseball provided it's held firmly on both ends.

>>5470130
That's what I'm saying my friend.

>>5470117
Only if properly braced. Which is why you can palm strike through a concrete block, when its supported.
>>5470125
She’s the single strongest of the butlers, stronger than most of the people in the manor.

>>5470078
That's racist, they're monkeys, not apes. Also, humans came from apes. So show some respect to yourselves before you die.

>>5470165
>Only if properly braced.
Like when you're putting your weight onto a leg, perhaps.

>>5470168
Ha.
>>5470172
An experienced martial artist would let the leg go, taking the fall instead of losing the limb. Especially with flight.

...I wonder what Emilia is doing now. Good grief what a shitshow.

>>5470210
Losing your center of balance is still a disaster in a fight even if you can fly though. Last thing you need is for a meat mountain like Karn to get a hold of your other ankle as you go ass over teakettle.

But even supposing you react quick enough and let yourself tip say goodbye to the feeling in that leg anyway. That shit fucking sucks. Like the mother of all charlie horses. Of course that's if you're aiming for the thigh or calf. If you're aiming for the ankle or knee it could probably still do some serious temporary damage.

>>5470254
Yeah, feel sorry for her.

>>5470254
Spoilers. But yes, a shitshow indeed.
>>5470258
Oh it’s awful, but not protruding broken bone awful. Which is what defense is all about, mitigating damage to sustainable levels.
>>5470259
We’ll see how this all plays out

>>5470275
>Oh it’s awful, but not protruding broken bone awful.
Fair.

NGL i thought they would have at least had enough honor to not try shit until after the trial by combat, but fuck man they literally don't even attempt to respect us, we should just murder their whole damn planet and see if they lot can breathe in open space.

>>5470719
>Honor
>Assassins
Pick one

Ya know, I can understand where Silva is coming from on this.
I certainly don't condone it, but that's besides the point.
Milluki might be a worthless shit, but he's still Silva's son. We should have expected they'd try and pull a fast one after we came for yet another member of the clan.
All this said, I thought Silva was smart enough to realize that this was a choice between Milluka getting executed for heinous crimes or the entire clan getting wiped out just to cover for a waste of space.

>>5470303
All about that mitigation.
>>5470719
>but fuck man they literally don't even attempt to respect us
True. They sent one guy after you, and a dozen at King Cold and his sons at the same time.
>>5471054
>Ya know, I can understand where Silva is coming from on this.
>I certainly don't condone it, but that's besides the point.
Right? If say Chaya, when she ran away had started a war with some other universal super power stronger than you, would you just stand by and let it kill her “for her crimes”? Or would you do your absolute best to save her, regardless of the power gap and consequences? There’s a smart, cold, calculating answer. And then there’s a father who has already lost one child and refuses to lose another

>>5471062
Hey, If Frieza is being trained from the ground up again, does that mean he's being taught Djem-So as well?
I only ask because we could use a regular sparring partner if we really wanna master it before diving into Juyo.
Cold might fit the bill better in that regard, but I have no idea if he's going to want to remain active now that he's finally put an end to things with Buu.

>does that mean he's being taught Djem-So as well?
>King Cold says, changing up his stance and taking one that's far more unguarded. His body's left side is facing you, left forearm held up vertically while his left is up over his head, hand pointed like a knife towards you.

Looks to me like Cold was taught either Ataru or a variant of Form VII instead

>>5471062
>And then there’s a father who has already lost one child and refuses to lose another
That's what kills me. Its been years in universe and out of universe where we had the children to take care of, so unlike say Truth or Trigon's many demonspawn, the Zoldycks are pretty sympathetic in this situation. How long is this timeskip gonna be, GD? I think that we'll have enough downtime to resurrect a Zoldyck or two depending on what happens later and have Divine DragonForce raring to go by the next saga. Oh shit wait, the Namekian Dragonballs could do it too.

>>5471212
I am not wasting a wish trying to bring back anybody who might be threat to us or our family. The way I see it, the entire Zoldyck clan can be categorized as such thanks to this fiasco.

>>5471208
Someone’s been paying attention. Remembering who Cold studied under.
>>5471212
They are sympathetic, to a point. But in the end, they’re harboring a traitor, a saboteur, and murderer. And not a state-sanctioned one either.
>DDF
While your Stand could be strong enough to revive the dead, there would no doubt be a price. Exponentially so for more than one person.
>>5471250
They have made their bed, and now must lay in it. But we’ll perhaps see how Zeno handles his son’s reckless actions.

>>5471257
I think Zeno is well aware that offering himself up in lieu of Milluka wouldn't work, so I have to wonder how he plans to navigate this disaster.
That's assuming Frieza doesn't kill him before he can execute his plan, but still.

>>5471281
Zeno very clearly hedged his bets on his skill being able to overcome Freeza’s overwhelming power. But it would appear that Silva didn’t have faith in his father’s ability. Or faith that you all would honor the trial by combat.

>>5471316
Poor grandpa. The only one worth half a damn and no one believes in him.

>>5471316
>Zeno very clearly hedged his bets on his skill being able to overcome Freeza’s overwhelming power
We're he dealing with Frieza as he once was, that might have been the correct assumption to make.
>But it would appear that Silva didn’t have faith in his father’s ability.
Disappointing, but understandable.

How many months has it even been between Namek and now? Was Frieza truly already retrained the same way Cooler was?

>>5471322
A fate Karn’s avoided so far, luckily for him.
>>5471334
It would have been a certainty, before Cold’s...Re-education. Now not so much.
>Disappointing, but understandable
I don’t think Karn would understand that. Anyone under his protection NOT having faith in his strength and skill is something he’s not had for a long time.
>>5471354
Several months, but not yet. Cold’s only getting started, and brought Freeza along as he figured this situation would devolve like this and assumed he’d need Freeza’s power

>>5471400
I can't help thinking about Zeno and how alike Karn could become, one day. Both are dragons and head of their respective clans, it's interesting to see whether Karn will be seen the same way, one day, fifty, sixty years from now, when his eldest children's eldest children have kids of their own.

>>5471443
>I can't help thinking about Zeno and how alike Karn could become, one day.
It's quite possible, depending on how events play out and if he survives to that age.

We've got to wipe out every one of these cunts now. After the Shangheili, then the Lin Kuei, I've had enough of stealthy assassin fuckers. Refuse to deal with it. So better make sure we don't have to.

This week's interlude should be of Zeno Zoldyck imo

>>5472269
>+1

Kind of a shame that arctus didn't choose cold as his champion
The two eldest of each clan fighting each other would be a fight to remember, even if cold isn't technically as powerful as freezie pop.

>>5471575
>>5471591
Ha.
>>5471594
It’s the magic. Can’t grow a wizardly beard without magic.
>>5471678
King Cold would agree with the sentiment
>>5472269
>>5472321
Hate to disappoint, but not yet. Too soon to reveal his thoughts, that ooc knowledge could color upcoming decisions.
>>5472372
The Zoldyck clan fought Cold once before, a long time ago. Specifically Maha, Zeno’s grandfather.Which is why the Cold clan, much like the Karn clan, are on the no-hit list.

>>5472580

...that gives me a funny thought, how would the zoldyck clan react to that one stupid stunt canon goku pulled by putting a hit o himself so he could fight Hit

>>5472607
They wouldn’t think twice about Goku’s stupidity, but would potentially judge Hit heavily based on what information he had.

Intermission this week is going to be something a little different, told from the youngest daughter’s perspective. Are you ready for a long-standing mystery to finally be solved?

>>5472943
YESSSS, I have been waiting

>>5472972
care to enlighten the rest of us anon?

>>5472580
I forgot about Maha's existence because he does literally nothing, both in the actual show and in this quest. If he's even still alive in this quest.

>>5473067
Cold probably killed him so they put him on the no-hit list

>>5473176
Beat him in a fiddle contest.

>>5473178
Cold probably has more than a few solid gold fiddles in his collection.
Speaking of, we still have no idea what Kazuma was freaking out about when he was walking through Cold's treasure horde.

>>5472972
Just a little longer
>>5473067
Oh, he’s still around. Small spoiler I guess.
>>5473176
He tried, but neither managed to put the other down when they fought.
>>5473312
Ha. But considering what all Kazuma saw, items from such prolific anime, which one not expressly mentioned would surprise him the most? Remember, he got isekai’d in 2013 pre-BoG release, so it couldn’t be anything AFTER that time.

>>5473337
I'm gonna be real, you might be expecting too much of me and the rest of the anons to actually piece together what the artifact could be.
Remember, the collective IQ of any given playerbase will never exceed 70.

>>5473386
I mean true, no one figured out how to open the box. Even after Chilli’s wedding, when I introduced you to an ultimate master key. But someone else will recognize Okira’s power

>>5473456
GD, you don't honestly expect us to just wish for shit to happen without it being a monkey's paw sort of deal, do you?
I apologize if that sounds condescending, but just about all of us are gonna look that gift horse in the mouth.

>>5473461
He was talking about okiras stand, not our wish stand. Because she can change reality by speaking and I never seem to remember that's a thing that she can do.

>>5473462
>He was talking about okiras stand, not our wish stand.
It's still my natural inclination to assume that it can't possibly be that easy.
There has to be some kind of toll that we're not aware of.

>>5473461
True, especially with DDF. But Imagine Dragon’s only drawback is seemingly how tired it made your then-infant daughter to change an entire wedding venue all at once.
But it is the correct approach. However, HOW the box was designed to be opened is kind of funny.
>>5473462
I did show her potential off a bit in a patron story comm, should she choose to lean into iher Stand’s power. But her Stand can beat Made in Heaven easily.
>>5473464
There’s always a price. Sometimes the only price is not getting that “Aha!” moment from figuring out a puzzle

>>5473585
At this point I expect THE BOCKS to be opened in an ultimately anti climatic way, like hitting it with a stick with the word "CLEANSING" written on it 200 times. Also I honestly did forget Okira could do that shit since she doesn't really do much else on account of being a toddler.

>>5473585
Would it take more out of Okira and Imagine Dragon to open the box or to give Karn the knowledge of how it opens?

>>5473594
Its going to be opened soon, you’ll just have to wait and see. The old scientist was clever, but didn’t make it impossible.
>>5473603
Okira and Imagine Dragon cannot affect living things.

>>5473633
>The old scientist was clever, but didn’t make it impossible.
There it is, every dungeon master's first mistake when making puzzles.
It also didn't help that he left it to the current Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of Murder and not somebody who's at least mildly inquisitive.
>Okira and Imagine Dragon cannot affect living things.
I knew there was a catch. Though I guess that brings into question what "living" is in regards to Imagine Dragon's abilities.

>>5473711
>Though I guess that brings into question what "living" is in regards to Imagine Dragon's abilities.

My god I just realized who is going to open the box. It's karn jr. isn't it. probably while playing with it like a toy.

>>5474063
It opens when they NEED it to open. Get it?
My money is on Okira, either by speaking it open or by having it on her when shit gets real and she becomes a warrior of legend.

>>5474042
Honestly after so much time, the box opening will probably be like "that's it?" because the suspense has made it into a monster. I'm putting my money on it being a cloud of nanomachines, son.

>>5474035
>He literally made it so anyone who becomes a Super Saiyan would open it.
Are you fucking kidding me? After all this time? That's how you open it? That is the most genius fucking idea I've ever heard.

>>5474045
The transformation itself doesn’t open the box, as you tried that before.
>>5474063
Not him.
>>5474090
Potentially. But it is a valuable reward.
>>5474144
The transformation itself isn’t what opens it. But he made a box any Saiyan could open, yet none have yet. That’s the best achievement

Well, his prototype that’s in it could have changed the course of any of several battles. But with it being opened, let’s just say the Time Patrol’s Senzu Beans aren’t such an unfair advantage anymore

AGE 751, NEW SALDA

“What do you mean, he isn't here?” you hear someone shout, turning your attention from the little crab trying to pinch your fingers towards the voice. Where you see an unfamiliar guy talking to Miss Guardian Raven, with a black-skinned scary monster as well. Who looks over at you, but instead of snarling like a scary monster he smiles and gives you a small wave, you smiling and waving back. He's not scary anymore, in fact he feels almost familiar somehow. But as the man keeps shouting he looks back to him, you pushing yourself upright. “We finally managed to break into the old man's encrypted files and got a bunch of information. Including more details of his prototype that's still sealed within that cube.”

“You mean that unopenable box Karn's had forever?” she asks, you suddenly realizing what they're talking about! You've seen Daddy playing with the box a few nights, always giving up and putting it back on his high 'do not touch' shelf. You could easily fly up there and take stuff off of it, but Daddy told you and all of your siblings that everything up there is off limits. So you've never tried to. “You actually found a way to open it?”
“Umm, well....No. Not yet.” the guy replies, deflating a bit. “But his prototype inside is invaluable, it could be used to save lives!”

“Like big sis Cauli?” you wonder to yourself, Imagine Dragon slithering out of your mouth to look at you and talk. “What do you think?”
“I think we should help him.” your Stand, Imagine Dragon says. “He's helped your dad before, so we should return the favor.”
“I agree.” you reply and start walking over towards the three of them. You are Okira, youngest daughter of Daddy Karn and Momma Meloka, and the wielder of the powerful Stand Imagine Dragon. When your Stand had first appeared, you hadn't understood what was going on and couldn't talk correctly anymore, since it had replaced your tongue. And others couldn't even see it, much less hear it, so you'd retreated into yourself. But now, with not only Daddy, Cauli, Miss Queen Cenoria, AND your half-brother Koruza all with Stands too that can see and interact with yours, you no longer felt so alone. Now, just like big sis, you want to use your power to help people too! So, you walk over to the adults, who all don't notice you at first.

“-ven if I knew where he kept it, I'm not taking it without his knowledge.” Miss Guardian Raven is saying, looking annoyed now. “And both he and Meloka are in the middle of a really important fight right now with Lord Freeza and his father.”
“Daddy an' Momma are off fightin'?” you ask her, both adults turning as they realize that you're listening. “More bad guys?”
“Yes, more bad guys.” Miss Guardian Raven says to you with a gentle smile, patting your head. “But they'll be back soon, once everything's taken care of.”

“Then I'm sure Daddy would want us to help you instead.” you say confidently, your Stand nodding along as well. But, since none of them can see your Stand, they all look at you instead. You then turn to your Stand, and ask, “Ready?”
“Ready.” your Stand replies, you both taking a deep breath together even though your Stand doesn't need to breathe. Then, as one, you speak at the same time while holding your hands out.

“DADDY'S BOX NOW IN MY HANDS.” you both say, then as you finish speaking the box appears right in your hands, just as you'd said. The adults and even the monster guy all make surprised noises, taking a step or two back each as their jaws drop.
“Wh-What?” the man asks, eyes wide in surprise. This sort of scared reaction is why you'd hidden your Stand away, you don't like people being too afraid to be your your friend. But if he wants what's in the box to help people like big sis Cauli, then you're gonna help him! “The s-sealed cube? But how...?”

“Okira, I know you want to help, but...” Miss Guardian Raven says, then stops as if searching for the words. But before she continues, the man kneels before you, grabbing the cube before standing back up and looking it over. While he does, you turn to Miss Guardian Raven.
“I heard Daddy say he he just wanted this stupid thing open already.” you tell her with a smile. “If it can really help people, then he would want it to be used.”
“Precisely.” the man says, lowering the cube from his gaze. But then his eyes go even wider, looking from the cube to you and back. He then kneels back down, getting close to eye level with you and placing a hand on your shoulder. “Your name is Okira, right?”

“Uh huh. And this is Imagine Dragon.” you say, gesturing to your Stand. “But he's invisible.”
“I see.” he says, clearly not seeing your Stand. Which you find really funny, and giggle a bit at his words. “Did your friend Imagine Dragon bring the cube here?”
“Yeah! When we say the same things at the same time, what we say happens!” you tell him excitedly, then lean in and whisper in a serious voice. “But Daddy said I have to be really careful with this power, or I could hurt somebody by accident.”

“Very good advice, you should always listen to your father.” he says, nodding seriously. But then he smiles, and asks, “Can you both use that power again?”
“Uh huh, me an' Imagine Dragon have gotten a lotta practice! We're really good at it now!” you tell him, excited that someone else seems interested in your power. “But we can't change anything that's alive. We can't fix people, like big sis Cauli can.”
“That's quite alright, I had a different idea in mind.” he says, setting the cube down on the sand before you then standing up, taking a step back. “Do you think you two can tell the box to open up?”

Now it's your turn to be surprised, you and Imagine Dragon sharing a look as you hear Miss Guardian Raven gasp in surprise. Seems she never thought of it either, you seeing her look from you to the box and back out of the corner or your eye.

“What do you think?” you ask your Stand. “Do you think we can do it?”
“Hrmmmm. I think we should give it a try.” your Stand says after a few seconds. “What's the worst that can happen?”
“We'll do it!” you tell the man excitedly, then pick up the cube and hold it in both hands. But as you take your deep breath, the monster guy reaches out and plucks it form your hands with his claws. “Ah-! H-Hey?!”
“Please, just a second.” he says, putting it carefully back down on the ground before raising his gaze back up to you. “We don't know how it opens, so you should leave it there on the ground. I don't want it accidentally cutting you when it opens or something.”

“Oh, that makes sense. You're real smart, mister....?” but then you frown, realizing you don't know his name. “Uhh, what's your name?”
“Bee Seven.” he says, giving you a warm grin. “I'm Bee Seven.
“Thanks Mister Bee Seven. You're real smart.” you tell him, then turn your focus back to the box laying on the ground. Time to open it up! You and Imagine Dragon both take deep breaths in, then as one like your older siblings Tatsu and Tomi start speaking.

“DADDY'S BOX OPENS ITSELF.” you both say together in perfect harmony. But then, to yours and everyone's surprise, the box is somehow crushed! As if your Daddy just reached out and grabbed it, the box is crushed! Your eyes widen in shock, the man lunging forward and grabbing it with a shout of “NO!” He picks it up, but as he does, you see something fall out of the bottom of it. Your Stand snakes forward, reaching out and catching the falling item in its teeth. Then your Stand retracts, dropping the item in your open hands for you both to look at. But what is it?

“Have you seen anything like this?” you ask your Stand, who shakes its head. “Weird. I wonder what it is?”
“The prototype is intact?” the man asks, dropping the broken cube and rushing over. He sees the oddly shaped thing in your hands, sighing out in relief. “Ahh, good. It survived.”
“What is it?” you ask, not taking your eyes from the thing. It's clear, but split in half inside with two different liquids in it. One is a light blue, almost blue green. But the other is a dark, dark blue, almost purple even.

“In his notes, the old man speaks of your father battling an organization known as the Time Patrol, and how they always have the advantage in a fight.” he tells you, staring at the bean-shaped object that fits easily in your palm. “Especially with the ability to heal mid-fight by consuming magical items known as Senzu Beans. Magical fruit able to heal all wounds and completely restore one's strength and stamina. His encrypted notes speak of his experiments, combining the Bacta Healing Pod fluid with the Saibamen Growth Accelerant to make-”

“His own Senzu Beans?” you ask, surprised. “No waaaay!”
“Haha, not quite. But according to his notes, these little beans will work functionally the same way.”
“So, if you have all of his notes and research, why do you need the prototype?” Raven asks him, a hint of something mean in her voice. “Surely you can now replicate his work without needing this one as well.”
“Of course we can, but, well...” he says, seeming a bit sad. “I just wanted to see the old man's last project, before he passed away.”

He looks really sad, like you felt for a while when Daddy sent Grandpa away. Feeling bad for him, you want him to have this piece of his own daddy to take with him. So, exchanging a look with Imagine Dragon, you both nod, take a deep breath in, and speak together while holding out your right hand.

“THE ONE BEAN IS NOW TWO, ONE IN HIS HAND AN' ONE IN MINE.” you both say, and suddenly a second bean-like object just appears in your hand. At seeing this the man's jaw drops comically, you giggling to myself at his funny face.
“What-? You-? How-?” he sputters, completely shocked by your ability. It takes him a few seconds to recover, looking from your bean to his, when his eyes meet yours. “You can copy items too? Anything?”

“Uh huh. S'long as it's not alive.” you say proudly, grinning widely to him. But his expression changes, free hand going to his chin as he thinks something over. After a few moments he lowers his hand, offering his right to you. “Huh?”
“My name's Daiko.” he tells you, kneeling to put you closer to on the same level. “And if you want, we of the Lab could always use your power. You could do a whole lot of good with that ability of yours.”
“Ummmmm....” you say uncertainly, looking from him, to the happy monster man who's smiling, to Miss Guardian Raven who looks confused. “I don't know...”

“Don't worry, this isn't something you have to accept today.” he says with a laugh, taking his open hand and ruffling your hair. “If you want to help us out, our door will always be open to you. Just ask your father, and I'm sure he'll bring you right to us when you want to.”
“Oh, okay!” you reply, no longer feeling that uncertainty. When Daddy comes home you're gonna tell him all about it! Which reminds you of the box, you looking back over to it. Then, after sharing a glance with Imagine Dragon you both start speaking again.

“THE BOX FLIES OVER TO MY EMPTY HAND.” you and your Stand say, it flying over and landing gently in your palm. You then flip it over, finding the hole the original bean probably fell out of and dropping yours into it before you both continue. “THE BOX NOW IS NOT CRUSHED ANYMORE.”

And as you both speak the words, the mangled box expands outwards, returning to its original boxy shape. You then shake it a little, hearing the new bean rattling around inside. You can't wait until your Daddy comes home, and you can show him what all you did. He's gonna be so proud of you for opening the box!

I guess the scenario the old man had in mind was Karn crushing it out of frustration when it still didn't open during a dire situation, right?
Also, I have to wonder if that's even the original prototype since...ya know.
