With the Tournament of Power brought to a close, the Seventh Universe has emerged triumphant once more. Led by the Saiyan warriors, the Seventh's victory was secured. And with the wish on the Super Dragon Balls used to restore the other universes that were eliminated and erased, the final hidden trial was passed, and all eight of the universes up for elimination were allowed to remain. Yet, even with this victory, peace doesn't last in the Seventh Universe for long. As old hatreds rise and long-buried grudges resurface, will you have what it takes to keep everything you've worked the last 28 years of your life to build? Or will those who seek your end ultimately triumph? That all depends on you, and your choices.You the players will (most often) control Karn. A Saiyan man who has grown from his lowly beginnings as a mid-tier Saiyan Brawler with a sub-3000 powerlevel in Age 733 to become not only the strongest Saiyan of his time at AGE 759, but also personal friend to the former emperor Lord Freeza, father to over a dozen powerful and unique children, a mentor and teacher to his fellow Saiyans, and the indisputable winner of the Tournament of Power. Wielder of the Berserker Soul, and the powerful Stand Divine Dragon Force, you're fully equipped to handle any threat that comes your way. But what will you do when the threats aren't always physical, when you can't simply punch all your problems away?Character sheets and other info: https://controlc.com/46ec566dhttps://pastebin.com/u/GrandDragonQMArchive:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=Saiyan+Conqueror+QuestHelp fund quest art commissions and get exclusive side stories as well as artwork by joining the patreon for only $1/month at https://www.patreon.com/GrandDragonQMQuest rules are as follows(unless otherwise noted):>30 minute vote times>Pick ONLY ONE option when voting>Dice rolls are all best of three correctly-rolled dice>At ten minutes past your previous roll, and there are not yet enough rolls, you may roll an additional roll>Crits are 100 on a d100>99s or paired rolls may net you extra bonuses>Crit fails are a 1/100 with no passing rolls, or if two 1s are rolled regardless of the third>Write-ins are both allowed and encouraged, but OOC options will be ignored>If your goal is simply to troll, at least put in enough effort to make it funny>Have funSCQ will usually start on Saturdays at noon Eastern Standard Time, and run throughout the weekend.

>>6362251Previously on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:After Karn learned of Granolah from the Heeters and battled the strongest of them, Gas, Karn then started doing some digging of his own. Learning what he could from Nappa, who led the attack on Planet Cereal then Towa, who promised to dig up what information she could. Karn then went to Raven, went with her to Other World to find his deceased father to talk to about the mission. Only for Demongo to be leading a revolt to escape hell, recruiting and enslaving Karn's many, many, MANY victims over the years. But with Divine Dragon Force's new power, the attempt was foiled, Demongo defeated, and Other World set back right. Now, as we rejoin Karn, your father has confessed quite a surprise to you.“Hold on, you're the reason a Cerelean survived?” you ask him, jaw dropping in shock. “What? How?”“I'll explain shortly. For now, let's get out of Hell.” he says, eyes sweeping over everyone looking around, getting corralled by the demons wearing “HELL” shirts before lifting up into the air. “Come on, follow me.”“Right.” you reply, confused as he takes off through the air. You follow him as Tatsu leads you back to King Yemma's, then once there leads you out a side door. It opens back up onto the path above the clouds, the two of you now alone. In the distance, towards the front of the castle you can see a line of floating things moving single-file towards the castle's front entrance. Memories suddenly resurfacing of the times you'd caught glimpses of this place before. Realizing how close you'd come to death sticking permanently on several occasions.But what now?>Ask about the Cereleans, what happened and why he calls himself responsible>Ask first if he knows about Omat, the one who went missing and was never found>Stay quiet, let your father tell you everything at his own pace>Other(write in)?

>>6362259>>6362253But after this realization, you don't speak up. Instead, you let your old man talk at his pace, tell you his story how he wants. And, after a few moments, he begins.“The invasion of Planet Cereal went smoothly, at first. Like many others before it.” he starts, looking off in the distance, reminiscing. “But that changed when one of them destroyed their planet's own moon. A gamble to stop our Oozaru rampage, to give them the advantage. As, without the mighty form's power back then we would have certainly have been wiped out by them. But, my old Power Ball trick worked, and let us stay transformed.”As he talks, you both look out towards the front of the castle, where more and more of the tiny what you now recognize as souls file inside it.“We crushed them. They were powerful, but with our Oozaru power, their people were crushed and we won. But then, the next morning, we went about finishing off the stragglers. That's when I found her.” Tatsu's voice trails off, his expression turning conflicted. “Muezli. She was holding her boy, couldn't have been more than two or three. Hiding out in the ruins of a building, trying to protect her son. She tried to murder me, the moment she saw me. But I took her, and her boy to the other powerlevel on the planet, an old, green alien.”“A Namekian.” you interject, to which he nods.“Yeah. He said he'd watch over them, as I got the call we were leaving and to finish up with the survivors. So, I... Broke protocol. They could hide their powerlevels, so I fired a blast off, had them hide their powers as it detonated in the forest, and then left. Regrouped with everyone, and we all got in our pods and returned to New Salda. Wasn't until we arrived that Nappa noticed he was a man short.”“So they're not the ones who...?” you ask, Turles shaking his head.“No. Couldn't have been. We were all alive that morning, and I was the only one to discover Muezli and her son, and the Namek. Whatever got him, had to be someone or something else.”Seems you've learned about this Granolah's origins, how it's thanks to your own father that there's now one last Cerelean on the loose seeking revenge. But you don't hold it against your old man. This is just a problem you'll have to take care of. One way or another. But, that does bring a question to mind.“Speaking of, have you seen him down here?” you ask, Tatsu raising a brow. “Omat. Does King Yemma have a record of him?”cont
>>6362275“That's... A really good question.” your father replies, bringing his one good hand up to his chin, thinking. “I'll have to ask some of his assistants to go through the records. A LOT of beings died in the last twenty-odd years, thanks in no small part to you.”At this he gives you a smirk and nod of approval, but his mind clearly going over what happened.“We'll figure out if Omat's been down here, what he knows if he is.” he says, then almost hesitantly adds. “If he hasn't already been through the Soul Cleansing Machine and reborn.”Well?>Ask what this Soul Cleansing Machine is, and if you can see it>Wait for him to continue, if he'll address it or change the topic>Ask if he's been doing well, if he's content with how things are going for him or if there's anything you can help him with before you have to return to the mortal realm>Tell him about Divine Dragon Force's new power, to change what you can see and ask if he wants his body restored.

He had plenty of chances to get replacements before he passes after all.

>>6362276“I see.” you reply, wondering what this machine is. But, instead, you decide to ask your old man something more important. “What about yourself?”“Me? What do you mean?” he asks, raising a brow.“Have you been doing well? Are you, well, content with how things are going?” you ask him. “Is there anything I can help you with before I return to the mortal realm?”He's silent a moment, before chuckling. Reaching over, patting you on the shoulder with his one hand.“I appreciate it, son. I'm... Doing well. I have a purpose here, a job. A lot better than a lot of beings who've passed on and are left to rot.” he says with a sigh, meeting your gaze. “Thank you. The offer means more than anything you could actually do.”He then looks at you a long moment, then continues.“But it's about time for you to go back.” he says, sounding tired. “A mortal can't stay here for long, in this place. The afterlife'll begin to stake its claim on you. And you still have a family to return to, a world that still needs you. Come on, son. Let's get you back home.”“Understood.” you reply, the two of you sharing a nod of understanding before heading back inside. Where Raven is still standing by King Yemma's desk as he passes judgment on another soul.“Karn. Tatsu.” Raven says to you both, giving your dad a small bow. “Are you ready to return? Did you find out what you needed?”“Yeah. And maybe something that'll help resolve this situation.” you reply to her, then turn back to your old man. Holding your hand out to him. “Until next time.”“Next time? HA!” he laughs, grabbing your forearm with his hand. His grip far stronger than you remember, your hand taking his as well. “Take care of them, Karn. And take care of yourself as well, watch your back out there. Just because we're not at war anymore, doesn't mean we're not at danger. Other beings still in the mortal world seek our people's end, through any means necessary. Stay on your guard, Karn.”“I will.” you nod to him, then turn to Raven. “Let's go home.”cont
>>6362334Raven gives you a nod, then holding out a hand opens up a portal. Reconnecting you to your home as you both step through the portal back to New Salda. Standing on her beach beside her as the portal closes behind you both, you taking a deep, full breath of the fresh air.“So, what now?” she asks you, looking up to your face. Which is a good question.Well? What now?>Head over to King Vegeta IV, let him know what you found out, and see what information he's managed to dig up through official channels>Return to your home and get back to training.

>>6362335“Good question. First, the king.” you reply, focusing on his ki signature, and finding him in his nearby city. “Coordinate information, figure out as much as we can.”“And then?” she asks softly, brow raised. “When you finally confront this Granolah, how will you handle him? After everything you now know?”And her knowing what's inside your head, what Tatsu told you not surprising you in the slightest. But you take a deep breath, squaring your shoulders.“I'll do what I must. I won't let him hurt my people.” you tell her, Raven nodding.“Then good luck. I wish you well.” she says, you reaching over and ruffling her hair through her hood. Raven lets out a small squeak of surprise, clearly not expecting your touch.“And thank you. For letting me see him.” you tell her, giving the Guardian a genuine smile before lifting up into the air, taking off back towards the city. Flying over the small sea separating her island from the mainland, flying right to the heart of Vegeta City, where you sense your king. Dropping out of the air you land lightly on the steps of his fortress-like palace, the two Royal Guard at the top immediately recognizing you.“General Karn!” one shouts, both snapping to attention.“At ease, just here to discuss...” your voice trails off, unsure what to call this for a quiet moment before continuing. “Secret mission, can't share details yet.”“Of course, sir.” the other says, turning and pushing the double doors open while the other makes sure you're not followed. The two then closing the door behind you, as the king isn't in his throne room. But, with your lock on his energy, you know he's in his office, lower. So you head to the stairs, descending into the ground and going straight to his office. Which you open without knocking, seeing Vegeta's desk a mess of papers and diagrams, all sorts of things you can barely comprehend. But there's one that catches your eye, a document labeled “Classified” at the top, then right below it are the words “By Lord Cooler's Order”.cont
>>6362386“Karn, good, there you are.” King Vegeta says, not looking up as he continues looking over something on his monitor. “Turns out there are quite a few... Noticeable details on that Planet Cereal job, looking deeper.”“Oh?” you reply, sliding into one of the seats as the door closes behind you. “Like what?”“Well, first, I figured out who first bought it. The planet.” he says, raising his eyes to meet your gaze. “Elec.”“What?!” you exclaim, brows shooting up in shock.“Yeah. He then sold it to another people, the Sugarians. Another people who lost their homeworld, who now inhabit the planet.” King Vegeta continues, brows lowering. “And, it would seem that they're the ones who took that last pod as well. The signal vanished from the pod moments before their ship left planet Cereal.”“You don't think...?” you ask, a terrifying thought coming to mind. Elec's brother is strong, if his rate of growth to this power he now possesses now matches your own, then back then he'd be more than strong enough to wipe out a single middle-class Saiyan warrior instantly.“We have no proof, so we cannot make accusations.” King Vegeta says firmly, then continues. “However, I then started digging into records of planets the Heeters purchased. Looking for any other... Anomalous activity in their dealings. And that's when I found this.”Turning his screen, you see another planet on the screen, one you don't immediately recognize. But, after a few seconds, it clicks.“Wait, is that...?” you ask, eyes going wide.“Yes. Planet Hoven, the frozen world those Remnants had built their base on.” your king says, eyes narrowed. “His name was taken off, the buyer someone called Bi-Han. A name that doesn't appear on any other listing, or even have an account with the galactic bank.”“So, a shell? A name to say they have it instead of him, and let him walk away free and clear?” you ask, Vegeta nodding. “So we know this bastard's involved. How do we get him?”cont
>>6362387“We don't.” King Vegeta replies, your eyes going wide.“What? That bastard's clearly working against us, we need to-!” you shout, your king holding up a hand.“I feel the same way. But, unless he takes overt action, we can't retaliate.” Vegeta says, shaking his head. “This is a political matter. And several factions Freeza held completely control and loyalty over are divided on his brother's rule. Cooler's made enemies. And having one of his backers so publicly eliminated could fracture the PTO entirely. It would be war.”War. The word stops you cold. It's been years since the last war ended, your youngest born only months before the Covenant War reached its end.“What do we do?” you ask, Vegeta crossing his arms. Meeting your gaze, expression more serious than you can ever recall.“We figure out his goal. And beat him to it.” King Vegeta replies, tone hard. “While you fight the last Cerelean, Granolah, we'll have another team deployed. One to gather those Dragon Balls, and keep them out of Elec's hands. Lead by your wife and Bardock, who have the power to fight off even that one's strength. And your youngest daughter, Okira, who'll be able to find them faster than anyone else. If, you'd be willing to let her join this mission?”Well?

>>6362389“I think she's certainly the best-suited to the role.” you reply with a nod. “I agree. You're right, and her power could prove useful in unexpected ways.”“Precisely. Your daughter's got quite the impressive power. And, with such a... Nebulous threat as Elec's mysterious plan on the horizon, her power could be the deciding factor.” the king tells you with a nod. “One week. When you teleport to Elec's ship, Meloka will follow as soon as you give her the signal you've landed on the planet. And once you have, they'll go hunt down those Dragon Balls. Keep that bastard Elec from getting his hands on that power, and whatever wish he's doubtlessly aiming to get.”“But what happens after that battle?” you ask him, Vegeta raising a brow. “That's still his planet, right? Sure, he sold it, but there's no doubt a clause that'll let him return whenever needed.”“A good point. However, that's where Okira's power will come into play. The dragon balls aren't living beings.” the king says, a devious gleam in his eye. “Once she's gathered them, her power will be what stops him from ever using them.”“Her power doesn't work on living beings.” you say, confused.“Exactly. But the Dragon Balls themselves aren't living beings. And “the Dragon Balls will no longer answer to Elec's call” is quite the effective stop to his plans, no?”“You've really thought this through.” you reply, nodding approvingly.“A king must think five steps ahead.” he replies, smirking as he sits back in his seat. And the moment he does, his door opens. You turn, and see a much smaller Vegeta standing there. “Speaking of thinking ahead. Are you finished with your studies, my son?”“Yes, father. I'm ready to train!” Prince Vegeta V replies, clenching his small fists. “W-Will General Karn be joining us today?”“That's a good question.” the king says, turning to you. Clearly waiting on your answer, giving no indications on what he's thinking.Well? Is today the day you train the son, just as you trained the father?>Of course, you're ready to put him through his paces. See just how powerful he's become>Tell the prince that's up to his father, turn it back on the king.

>>6362422“Heh. Of course.” you reply, standing up and turning towards the boy. “You ready?”“Yes sir!” the young prince replies, eyes wide with wonder.“Good. Then follow me. Today, you're training in my home.” you tell him, the boy almost bouncing off the ground as he follows you from the king's office. You both head outside then take to the air, flying across the land over the forest to your home. “I'll start you off today the same way I started your father all those years ago. Tell me, how high of gravity have you trained in so far?”“Right now? I'm up to five times our planet's gravity.” he answers as you fly over the clearing in the forest, crater visible through the trees before you'd even reached it. Passing over it, more than halfway back to your own ship.“Five times? Not bad. We'll start out with the same workout I started your father with.” you say, and you can feel his excitement radiating off him as your city comes into sight. “1000 pushups, on each arm. Then, after than 1000 situps. Any questions?”“Th-That's it?” he asks as you drop out of the air, catching yourself with your flight inches off the ground, then touch down whisper-soft right outside your ramp. The prince doesn't decelerate nearly as smoothly, kicking up a huge wave of sand as he lands beside you. “Just that?”“That's where we'll start.” you tell him, leading him inside and to your gravity chamber. Which is empty, the door closing behind you both as you go to the controls. Cranking it down from where you'd last set it at, turning it to twenty times New Salda's gravity. The room turns red as the gravity shifts, and you see the prince try and brace himself. But he's clearly not ready, the weight of the chamber slowly pulling him down to the ground.“Guh! W-What kind of-? Gravity! Did you set-! This to?” he asks between panting breaths, clearly struggling to stay upright.“Just a few times more than you've been training at.” you reply to him, dropping down into the pushup position, only on your right arm and toes. “Don't tell me this little bit's too much for you, your highness. I can turn it down, if you can't-”“DON'T-!” he shouts through clenched teeth, getting down into position as well. “I won't! Back down!”“That's the spirit.” you reply with a grin, going down and up once, then again. “One. Two.”Over the next half-hour, you push the young prince to his limits. Watching him closely as he struggles. But, despite how hard he's struggling, he doesn't quit. You see his father in the lines of his face, the set of his jaw as he fights. And, without stopping, he manages to complete the first part of your training. Finishing the final situp he collapses, gasping for air.cont
>>6362481“Baaaah! Haaaah! Faaaaah!” he gasps, chest heaving as he struggles to catch his breath. While he does this you stand up, rolling your neck and shoulders, loosening up. Bouncing on your toes, getting ready for what comes next.“Come on, prince. No time for laying around, we're just getting started.”“St-Started?” he gasps, eyes opening as he turns his head towards you. “Wh-What do? You mean? Started?”“That's only step one.” you say, walking over to him, lowering yourself and holding a hand down to him. “Now that the warmup's over, time for the real training to begin.”“The real. Training.” he says, taking a deep breath then reaching up, taking your hand in his. Letting you pull him to his feet, swaying a moment before catching himself. “Okay. What's next?”And to that you smirk, leaping back from him and take your fighting stance. To which his eyes go wide with understanding.“What? No way.” he says, still struggling to catch his breath. “I'm exhausted, I can't fight like this.”“So you'd just let your enemies win? Let your people down without a fight?” you ask, the prince freezing at your words as you stand back up to your full height. “Your enemies won't wait for you to be rested and at one hundred percent before coming to take you down. They'll find you at your weakest, most vulnerable, and THEN they'll strike. If you're going to one day lead our people, you're going to have to be ready at all times. To face all comers, to tackle any and all challenges that appear. And to protect our race and way of life, from all who would seek to take it all away.”You can see it in his eyes as the understanding, the realization dawns. He's a smart kid, and understands the implications of your words. He nods once, you returning the gesture as you retake your fighting stance. The prince taking his own as well, reminding you so much of his father all those years ago.Well?

>>6362510>>6362513>>636251572/100, 78/100, 58/100. Two successes and failure, looks like he's gonna break through. Writing.>>6362515Yes, and it seems the manga's getting further adapted as well. Interested to see if they'll 1:1 it, or how they'll censor it to keep their lower age rating.
>>6362482As you look to the young prince, reminding you so much of his father, you remember back to your first ever fight with the now-King Vegeta. And one of his techniques comes to mind, one you decide to try now. Drawing both hands back, gathering your ki into both hands.“Let's see you handle THIS!” you shout, throwing one hand forward. Firing a small blast of energy, not strong enough to damage the gravity chamber, but enough to make his eyes widen directly at him.“Gah?!” he shouts, dropping down to the ground. Where you draw that hand back, gathering another spark of energy as you thrust your other hand down at him. Firing your second blast, seeing the panic in his eyes. But he doesn't stop moving, rolling out of the way of your second attack as well. Letting that orb slam into the floor and dissipate without a metal-shearing explosion as you follow his movements, leading him with the third shot. Catching him by surprise, your blast slamming into him. Detonating in a small blast, knocking him up into the air. Where his body meets your next blast, sending him flying back and slamming into the far wall of the gravity chamber. Bouncing off it and falling to the ground, where he lay stunned.“Your enemies won't give you time to recover, they'd finish you right now!” you call out to him, snapping him out of it as you fire a fifth blast. Prince Vegeta immediately leaps up,springing up off the ground as your attack narrowly misses. His eyes lock onto your own, blazing green as his power spikes. And suddenly he transforms, ascending into a Super Saiyan. However, your only response is to put proportionally more power into your next shot, sending it right at him. The young prince dodges, moving far easier in the gravity now that he's transformed. And starts trying to close in on you. But you don't let him, for every foot of ground he gains between your attacks, you step back just as far. Circling away from him in the gravity chamber, forcing him to try and keep chasing you through your storm of energy you send his way. “Come on, my prince, you need to do better than this!”cont
>>6362559“Khhh! HRRAAAA!!” he roars, golden aura blazing as he powers up even further. Pushing himself as hard as he can, dodging and weaving through your blasts as well as swatting aside those he can't avoid. But as he keeps pressing forward and you retreat, you can feel his frustration mounting. Veins bulging on his forehead, snarl growing more and more pronounced. “KRRRAAAAA!”“Is that all you've got?” you say, smirking as you keep one step ahead of him. The young prince's fury unable to keep pace with his exhaustion as he begins to falter. Losing a step, then two. Moving just too slow to dodge one blast, then another and another. Your attacks pushing him back now, forcing him back away from you. “Come on, Prince Vegeta. Is this the best you can do?”“GYAAAAH!” he cries out as he tries to deflect another blast, but he mistimes his swing. The blast slamming straight into his face, the blast sending him flying back, crashing into the wall. Bouncing off it, he lands down on his hands and knees as you stop your attack. Holding the energy in both hands, waiting to see if he's finished or not as his arms and legs tremble. “N-No-! I-! I'm not-!”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w50zQ67D6wYYou watch as he tries to stand, to rise, pushing himself up on exhausted arms. Managing to get his feet under him, only to collapse back down to a knee. You sigh, powering down as you let the energy in your hands fade away. But as you take a step closer, suddenly, you feel it.“Hmm?” you exhale, feeling something shift. You feel it, feel the young prince's power begin to change. His body, beaten and battered to its limits, his power should be going down. But, it's not. Instead, you can feel his power begins to rise. His aura starts blazing to life up around him, his body rising back up to his feet, fists clenched out by his sides as his head hangs down. Then, as he raises his head, veins still bulging in his forehead and along his arms, you feel his power continue to surge. Electricity beginning to crackle around his aura as his strength continues to rise.“I'm-! I'm not! DOOOOOONE!” he roars, his energy surging. You feel his power double as he does it! And you smile as he ascends beyond a Super Saiyan, transcending his previous limits.cont
>>6362561“Well well, this is quite the surprise.” you say, grin widening. Only for the prince to suddenly BLUR towards you, rocketing at more than twice the speed he was moving before you'd downed him. Catching you by surprise, closing the distance before you've got your guard up. His fist slams into your chin, knocking your head back and staggering you back a step. But you catch yourself there, the boy unable to move you even with his newfound power when you put your back into it. “Looks like you're not done after all.”“I won't quit!” he snarls, following up his punch to your chin with a turning kick, but you bring your forearm up. Blocking the strike, then shoving him back. The boy flips backwards, landing back in his father's stance as he stares you down. Eyes hard, determined as his aura blazes, lightning crackling around him. “I won't ever give up!”But what now? What do you do?>Go on the offensive, test his defense now that he's gotten his second wind with this transformation>Defend, let him come at you. See how he fights, what your former disciple has taught his son>Keep up just as you had been with your ranged attacks, see if he can push through now with his new form and close the gap, or if the same scenario will repeat once more>Telepathically call Vegeta and Cenoria to come over, to witness their son's transformation>Other(write in)?

Only collapsing and passing out when the fight's finally over, especially early in his career? Conditioning. Doesn't matter how strong you are if you don't make it to the end of the fight.
>>6362582>Doesn't matter how strong you are if you don't make it to the end of the fight.Words of wisdom. It's for this reason I elect we rebase our entire city to the top of New Salda's highest mountain peak for mandatory cardiovascular endurance training.
>>6362563“That's it! That's the spirit!” you shout, retaking your stance then gesturing for him to come at you with your upraised hand. And he doesn't hesitate, kicking off the ground and closing the distance as fast as he can go. But you're ready this time, no longer caught off-guard by his sudden speed increase. Catching his first flying, heavy right with your left hand. Stopping his charge cold, but he doesn't keep trying to win with power. Instead he spins clockwise, inside your guard and closing in with a left turning kick aimed at your head. Bringing your right up, you block his kick with your forearm as well. Prince Vegeta V continuing to attack you with the movements of the Su Ma. Flipping, twisting and spinning around you, keeping up the attack. Not relenting for a second, continuing his assault against you. “Give me everything you've got!”“HRRRAAAAAA!!” he roars with fury, yet even with the ascended form's rage coursing through him, he retains control. Launching a remarkable Su Ma assault, one that keeps you on your toes. But as he attacks, you begin to recognize his patterns. And realize that perhaps he isn't in control like you thought. He's not making adjustments, not changing his attacks when they don't work. Still going through his attacks in the same patterns, the same rhythms he no doubt trained. And that's when you realize it, he's not in control. The boy's completely lost to his anger, to the wrath of his transformation. But he's still following his training, attacking in the ways his father had taught him. The Su Ma,s basic forms and combinations so ingrained in the young man already that, even completely lost to fury, he doesn't swing mindlessly.“Hmph. Well done, Vegeta. Taught him well.” you murmur as you stay on the defensive, blocking the prince's attacks. But as you do, as he rages against you, you begin attacking his openings. A stiff jab where he'll be as he spins, and elbow there, a kick there. Knowing where he'll be, his attacks predictable as you begin to counterattack. Carefully controlling your own power, only hitting him with around his own strength, each blow sending the young prince flying. But with each hit he rebounds, launching himself right back at you. Over and over, refusing to go down. Refusing to quit as he keeps up his assault for well over five minutes before even this power begins to falter. His newfound strength, unable to continue supporting his exhausted body pushed beyond its limits falters. And Prince Vegeta V drops to the ground, falling to his hands and knees. The golden glow fading from his body as he reverts back to his base form in exhaustion.-Saiyan Conqueror Quest 255 paused-
>>6362600And that's it for tonight, everyone enjoy this episode so far? What do you think of how Vegeta's trained his son so far? Any advice you'd give him, moving forward? And any words for the young Saiyan, now that the sparring match is well and truly over? Ready to get to training, to get preparing for the confrontation with Granolah? Or do you want to keep conversing with others, talking to other people first before you dive back into an intense week of training? All this and more when Saiyan Conqueror Quest continues at noon EST, 11 1/2 hours from now!

it continues SOON right?
>>6362600With a sigh you power down as well, going over to the gravity controls and turning it off. Letting the enhanced gravity fade away, then go back to the downed boy. Walking over to him and kneeling by him, placing your hand on his back.“You did well, my prince. Rest, catch your breath.” you order, patting his back. And with a sigh he collapses, laying on the ground and focusing on his breathing. You stay with him as his ragged breathing slows, taking deeper, more controlled breaths as he recovers. Rolling over onto his back, sighing out as he looks up at you.“Gen-Karn. I, was that...?” he asks, eyes wide with wonder.“Yeah, you did it.” you tell him with a mentor-ly grin, offering him your hand. “You ascended. Well done, my prince.”He returns your grin with a huge, proud smile as you help him up to his feet, staggering a step before regaining his balance.“I ascended.” he says, tone awed as he looks down at his hands. Clenching them into fists before raising his head, meeting your gaze. “Thanks to you.”“No, you did all the hard work kiddo. I just pushed you over the edge.” you reply, reaching down and ruffling his hair. “If you weren't ready to transform further, what I did wouldn't have made a difference. Now, you know what comes next, don't you?”“Yes, I have to train even harder now, to control that power.” he says, eyes filled with determination before giving you a proper Saiyan salute then bowing to you. “Thank you, General Karn.”“Of course, my prince. My pleasure.” you reply, returning the gesture. And as you rise he then freezes, then his grin widens.“I'm gonna go tell mother, she'll be so proud!” he says excitedly, rushing from the gravity chamber. Clearly excited to talk about his newest achievement, sprinting out of your home. Leaving you standing in the gravity chamber alone, with one question:What now?>Telepathically reach out to your family, find out what everyone on-world is doing>Start your own training, you have only a week before your confrontation with Granolah>Reach out to Chilli telepathically, let him know what's happened and see how he's doing>Take some time to reconnect with your world, with New Salda itself and look over your world>Other(write in)?

>>6362743>>6362744>>6362748Reach out to Chilli telepathically, let him know what's happened and see how he's doing wins it. Writing.
>>6362742With everything quiet, you decide to reach out to your firstborn son, see how he's doing. So, with a thought you telepathically reach out to Chilli.“Hey son, everything okay on your end?” you think out to him, feeling his mind connect to your own.“Yes, everything's fine on my end. Why? What's going on?” your son replies, and you can almost see his brows furrow in confusion. “You need backup?”“Not today, son. Just checking in, making sure everything's okay.” you tell him. Then, decide to fill him in on what's been happening on your end. Tell him about your meeting with Tatsu in the afterlife, on discovering what happened on Planet Cereal, the Heeters, and the missing Omat. And once you finish the story, your son is quiet for several moments.“I see. Well, on my end, we've had an... Interesting development. Had an outsider land on my world, talking about a coming darkness, and the only option to stop it is some ancient hero called Tapion trapped inside an enchanted music box. I'm studying it now, trying to figure out a way to open it.” he tells you, and you get a flash of what he sees. And, sure enough, you see on his workbench is what appears to be a simple wooden box with a crank handle on one side.“Want me to get Towa, she probably already knows how to open it?” you ask him, your son declining.“No, I'll open this myself. Besides, I could use the practice.” he answers you, leaving you curious what he means by practice. “But if I need your help, I'll let you know.”“Sounds good. One week from today, I'll be dealing with that Granolah.”“Wait, one week? But that's Meloka Wolbach's birthday.” your son says, you freezing in place. “You're going to make it to her birthday, aren't you?”“Yeah, I'll make it. Either before I go take care of business, or after I handle that situation. Wouldn't miss her day.” you tell him seriously. “How old will she be now?”“She'll be five.” he says, you leaning against the gravity chamber's controls with a sigh. Five years old. Your granddaughter will be five whole years old in only a week.“Five, huh? They grow up fast, huh?” you ask, feeling a flood of emotions through the link.“Y-Yeah.” he replies after a few moments. “That they do.”cont
>>6362779The call ends shortly after this, you both saying your goodbyes and leaving you alone in that gravity chamber once more. One week. One week to prepare for your fight with Granolah, to get your present for your granddaughter if she's not old enough for the sword you'd found in the M'lurnian ruins last year. There's plenty to do, which leaves one question:What now?>Gather all of your family on-world in a telepathic call and let everyone know what's happening, so everyone can be prepared for what's coming>Crank the gravity up to its limits, time to get to work on yourself and start training>Telepathically reach out to Broly, let him know that there are plots moving around and to keep his eyes open for trouble>Spend the day going to your allies like Leyas and Sarada, Turles, Goar, and the others, and let them know the broad strokes of the situation and to be on their guard>Telepathically call Freeza, see if you can get his help training for the next week to prepare for Granolah>Call one of your friends or family to train with you for this fight (write in who)>Other(write in)?

>>6362781Considering what to do next, you decide to share the news of what's happening with your allies. With the Heeters no doubt working an angle, trying to get the Dragon Balls and the possibly-related incident going on with your son, there are too many things happening for it all to be coincidence. For a moment, you think that Chronoa has to be behind this setup. But then you realize that, not only is she now under Mechikabura's watchful eye, but she's now “SUPPOSEDLY” on your side against that other entity beyond reality, The End. However, all of this can't just be coincidence. And so, you decide to reach out to all of your allies, visit with everyone and let them know what's going on.“But where should I start?” you mutter, closing your eyes and expanding your ki sense. And, right in town are the twins, Leyas and Sarada over at the arena. So, with your first targets acquired you raise your right to your forehead, focusing on Sarada's energy and teleport yourself to them. Leaving your gravity chamber behind, appearing beside her in the arena stands. Where two younger Saiyans are going at it, both of them maybe around Okira's age. “Hey Sarada, Leyas, we need to talk.”“Karn?” Leyas asks, turning towards you. His eyes light up as he sees you, grinning. “Been awhile, what's going on?”“Quite a lot, right now.” you reply, filling the two of them in while the younger Saiyans battle. You watch your friends' expressions change as you explain everything going on, Leyas immediately mirroring your own thoughts once you've said it all.“Too much to be coincidence. Someone's behind all this.” he says confidently, raising a hand and clenching his fist. “What do you need us to do?”“Yeah, what's the plan, General?” Sarada adds, her tone teasing but no less sincere. You know they'd both lay their lives down for you, for your people. Just as you would for them. “Which ass you want us to kick?”“None, yet. But to stay on your guard, keep your eyes open. I'm sure there's even more going on, if now right now then soon. And we may need all hands for what's to come.” you say, both of the twins nodding seriously to you.“Whatever it is, we'll crush 'em.” Leyas says confidently. And, to your surprise, suddenly his eyes shift. Transforming into the eyes of his Primal Demon form, powerlevel spiking yet his body doesn't change. Tapping into his more primal might, without taking on the full transformation. “You're not the only one who's been training.”“That's right. We've been working on our own powers, while you were playing in that little tournament.” Sarada teases, her own power spiking similarly. “Whenever you need us, we'll be there.”cont
>>6362823“I know you guys will. That's why I wanted to give you a heads up, so all this didn't catch you off-guard.” you tell them with a grin. “Don't want you making excuses if someone like Gas kicks your ass.”“Why you-?!” Leyas starts, letting out a strangled noise. Only to see your face and laugh, swinging around his sister and slugging you on the shoulder. “Bastard. Just for that, when this is all over, I'm gonna kick your ass!”“Looking forward to seeing you try.” you reply, raising your right hand to your forehead as you expand your ki sense once more. Next, you find Goar's energy not too far away, in the forest behind the arena. And he's not alone, you sensing two other, weaker powers with him. One close to his own strength, the other no doubt his new charge. And so you teleport to that trio as well, appearing by Goar, Sheeva, and Cesha. Where Goar and Sheeva are sparring, the four-armed woman pressing the attack against your largest student. And you appeared right between them.“Hrrrraaaaa!” Sheeva shouts, launching two separate punches simultaneously. Her eyes widen as she sees you, you raising your left knee to stop the right body hook, catching her left aimed at your jaw with your left hand. “Wh-General Karn?!”“Nice attack.” you reply, the four-armed fighter backing off immediately. “Goar, we need to talk.”“Of course, what's going on?” he asks, immediately looking serious. And you explain to him what you'd explained to Leyas and Sarada, letting the four-armed woman Sheeva and Goar's ward both hear everything you tell him. And when you're finished, he's standing there with his arms crossed, expression concerned. “And you don't think this is coincidence?”“Never is. There's always something more going on.” you say, shaking your head. He nods at this, Sheeva looking contemplative as well. “Don't know what else is coming, but I'd rather all my friends be ready.”“Understood.” Goar says, and to your surprise salutes you. “I'll be ready, Karn. When you need me, give me a call.”“Thanks, Goar. Means a lot.” you say, returning the salute before expanding your ki sense once more. Searching for Turles, and you find him. For some reason he's in Vegeta City, you teleporting from the forest across the planet over to him. And as you appear, he turns towards you. Panic in his eyes.“Karn! She's gone!” he shouts, terror in his voice. “Ticho's gone!”Well?

>>6362847We'll see...
>>6362825“Ticho's missing?” you ask, eyes widening in shock. And immediately you close your eyes, reaching out telepathically to New Salda itself. Merging your mind and soul with your world, feeling the avatar's presence in your mind.“MY CHAMPION.” New Salda's 'voice' booms in your mind. “I can feel your urgency.”“There's a missing child. I'm going to find her.” you reply, and as your power and senses are enhanced by taking on your Champion form, you immediately focus entirely on your ki sense. And you can sense EVERYONE. Every last living being on your world, from the mightiest warriors to the smallest blade of grass. From the Rak'kari and Hydae under the sea to the birds in the trees, you can feel every last living being. But as you search through them all, feeling everyone's presence in your mind. But one's missing. “What?”“What do you mean, what?” Turles asks, you opening your eyes and meeting his gaze.“She's not on the planet.” you tell him, seeing Turles' eyes widen in shock. “I can feel EVERY ki signature on the planet, and she's not one of them. Did she tell you she was leaving?”“No. I was training, then when I left the chamber, she was gone!” he shouts, you feeling the fear and worry in his voice. “And I can't reach her telepathically either! My little Ticho, she... She...”You reach over, placing your hand on his shoulder. Meeting his gaze, expression resolute.“We'll find her.” you tell him, nodding to your friend. “No matter what it takes, we'll find her, Turles.”“How? If she's off-world, who knows where she ended up?” he exclaims, clearly terrified. “If that bitch snuck onto this world and kidnapped my daughter, I-! I'll-!”“We'll find her.” you tell him, expanding your senses even further beyond the planet. Widening out your ki sense as far as you can detect, going further and further beyond your planet until, suddenly, you find it! You find her, but, she's not alone. Sure enough, there are a half-dozen powerlevels with her. All seven of them rapidly leaving your home behind. “Got her! Let's go!”cont
>>6362875Immediately, Turles powers up. Ascending straight into his Primal form as you ascend into your Berserker God state, raising your right hand to your forehead. As you do, he lays his hand on your arm, taking a deep breath. You inhale as well, then with a thought teleport. Leaving your world behind, appearing in space between the seven beings and wherever they're traveling to. Appearing in the void of space, seeing a half-dozen Tamaranean warriors all freeze, stopping dead in their tracks as they see the two of you appear.“DAD!” Ticho clearly shouts, her voice not traveling through the void but her shouted exclamation's clear. She's in rough shape, clearly having been beaten and kidnapped against her will by the other Tamaranean warriors present. And one of them makes a terrible mistake for himself, striking her with a backhanded swing. And at this Turles' fury EXPLODES, aura blazing as he surges forward. Closing the distance in a blink, slamming his fist THROUGH the chest of the Tamaranean that struck his daughter! With a visible growl he grabs him with his other hand as well, tearing him in two in a spray of blood. Turles' face a mask of blood and fury as he turns his glare on the last five would-be kidnappers.You don't know what their plan was, but two things are clear. Not one of them is going to survive this, and they're doing this under orders. And you know just who in Tamaran's leadership no doubt holds a grudge against Turles, and would try and kidnap his daughter. Their daughter.-Saiyan Conqueror Quest 255 paused-
>>6362877And that's it for this weekend, everyone enjoy the episode? Ready to deal with this kidnapping attempt? Do you think they're doing this under the Queen of Tamaran Komand'r's orders, or is someone else behind what's currently happening to Turles and Ticho? And is this relevant to what else is happening, or is this a particularly well-timed interruption someone's timed to get you out of the way? All this and more when Saiyan Conqueror Quest continues!
>>6362878I'd ALMOST feel sorry for them if they didn't rough her up and give Ticho the Mister Ruckus backhand in front of the fucking father. At least then it could've been an open casket funeral. Unfortunately for them, nobody can hear you beg for mercy in the vacuum of space.
>>6362877>he grabs him with his other hand as well, tearing him in two in a spray of blood.Like a goddamn wishbone kek.>>6362878I don't think Blackfire is dumb enough to think this would work. Might be a gayop. I will blame Fu. Fuck Fu.
>>6362882Yeah, this was clearly not a well-thought-out operation. Not if the goal was to kidnap Ticho successfully.>>6362884The wrath of a furious father's not one to get in the way of.She'd have to be high off her gourd on something to think STEALING Ticho would be a good idea. No, she's usually far more conniving. Perhaps someone wants to infuriate Turles into taking Komand'r out for them? Clearing their way to claim the throne.
>>6362893>Perhaps someone wants to infuriate Turles into taking Komand'r out for them? Clearing their way to claim the throne.That's what I'm thinking. These dudes are patsies for a falseflag operation who think way too highly of themselves to act this belligerently. And between us and the Butcher of Bachelorettes there is no way she's lost THIS much of her mind.
>>6362877So...is Blackfire being framed for this? She's stupid, arrogant, spiteful, but she isnt suicidal. And this isnt her style when she'd rather do it herself. Regardless, they hurt our buddies kid, they will be handed over to our Best Torture Daughter for...interrogating.
>>6362900Would take either courage or foolishness to try and steal a child from New Salda. Especially with the example King Vegeta made of those slavers.>>6362940She does prefer to be in the thick of things, when you knew her at least.
QM UPDATE/QUESTIONSFeels like it's been awhile since I've done one of these, want to check in with you guys and get your opinions on things, see how we're doing. Gonna start general and get more specific. Everyone enjoying the different direction of this arc so far? We're getting a different tone and feel of this one compared to the previous couple arcs, whereas before we'd have more of both IC and OOC knowledge of things going on, know who our enemies are/were and what we're generally up against. Whereas this arc you're having to discover more information. And, I'll say this, small hint. The big bad of this arc could completely get away with it, if you don't discover their plan. There's a lot riding on this arc, more than just your own world and people. So, I hope everyone is paying attention when getting IC knowledge.And onto more fun questions, who are you most excited to see more of this arc? Either through direct interaction or through intermissions/epilogues? SCQ has quite the expansive cast, and as we move into the new year, finally out of AGE 759, we'll have more fun stories on the horizon. Arcs which may or may not be related to your own, across realms, worlds, universes and possibly timelines. colliding.Which character(s) have you had enough of, who you don't really want to see any more of anytime soon if possible? Some characters have gotten a lot more shine than others in the last three to four arcs, being more directly and tangentially related to the plot.If you get the opportunity to focus on your own training, what areas are you hoping to focus on more? Further mastery of your Supreme Instinct? Better attacks or improving your fighting styles, or perhaps spending more involved time training your children?And speaking of others' training, whose training are you hoping to get to see the results of? Besides Turles, of course, as you're about to see a glimpse of his newfound power against these poor, dumb Tamaranean patsies.And lastly, which franchises are you hoping to see either make their debut or return to SCQ? Incorporated a lot of different works across all sorts of mediums over the years, which have been your favorite and least favorite among them? Any you wish to return to or wanted to get more time in the spotlight? Or perhaps some you never want to see again? Always open to you guys' ideas and input, without you all SCQ wouldn't have lasted nearly as long as it did.
>>6363267>The big bad of this arc could completely get away with it, if you don't discover their planIt was goddamn Colonel Mustard I fawken knew it.>Which character(s) have you had enough of,Moro. You should just write him outta the story. No biggie. Don't worry about it. kek>And lastly, which franchises are you hoping to see either make their debut or return to SCQ?Berserk. I have a pathological need to hit femboys with a hunk of iron. Real talk I am a little surprised there hasn't been as much Star Wars stuff. Since usually when people involve Star Wars in a fic it winds up being a big deal in some way or another. I will say it's very refreshing for the Sith artifacts we have encountered to not *just* be Revan stuff. You think full potential Palpatine could have handled Buu? I think if it weren't for Buu being literal reality-defying magic Palps might've been able to take him.
With all this talk of Cooler having trouble keeping political factions loyal, and this probable false flag attempt, it feels like someone is trying to start a PTO civil war.
>>6363285HA!>MoroWell, now that he's a Destroyer, he's not YOUR problem anymore as long as you stay out of the 10th Universe. If he tries to start trouble in yours, Zen-Oh will slap his shit.>BerserkI did enjoy it early on, having him be another warrior out of time Aku catapulted through history. But with his passing I let Guts move on and rest as well. RIP to another goat, we lost too many of the greats in the last few years.>spoilerOf course. Can't just have everything go back to one character, that's lazy writing. And the reason it's not a bigger deal, is, well, it was a long time ago, in a galaxy that was mostly wiped out by Buu. No. He could have POTENTIALLY sealed away Buu, but never outright defeated him. Now a full potential Chosen One, maybe.>>6363300Absolutely, it does feel as if someone's trying to topple Cooler's rule, doesn't it?
>>6363301>RIP to another goat,For real though. Man was a real one. Need more like him.
>>6363267It feels like a drama mystery this time around. These days our heads are held high, so a lot of people move quietly and quickly beneath our immediate notice. One off irregularities here and there spread out far enough to make us think its a coincidence and never get all their questions resolved. This could be the big moment to finally uncover what's been going on under the hood.>who are you most excited to see more of this arc? Either through direct interaction or through intermissions/epilogues? Been a minute since we've seen Boros or the humans on Dragonball Earth. Are they still being cagey with the tech?>Which character(s) have you had enough of, who you don't really want to see any more of anytime soon if possible?You offscreen murdered the one guy I didn't really want to see come back after he humiliated himself in the first 6v7 expo. So I mean this in an "I'm ok with them sitting on the bench this time" way and not an "I don't like this character" way when I say that I could go with less Chaya. I feel like narratively, she's settled in. No longer obsessive and immature as she once was, and while she'll always have that desire to soak up the spotlight, she can also be a team player that can hang out with the Big Boys. She started her change visiting Yardrat, made the big shift when she defeated Baby, and cemented those changes when facing off against Jiren. She has grown up a lot while staying true to herself and I am SO GLAD the bed didn't end up getting shat after the bold, yet controversial journey. I really care for Chaya a lot, which is why I want to say I wanna see more of the other, younger children taking a step up in relevance. In their due time, I hope.If you get the opportunity to focus on your own training, what areas are you hoping to focus on more?I want that lightning energy body. too cool.>And lastly, which franchises are you hoping to see either make their debut or return to SCQ? I'm mostly wondering where the other characters and setpieces of the franchises introduced so far are at. Like, I get Deathclaws existing in a "plucked out of canon" state, but I can't help but wonder where people like Gon and Ratchet & Clank went.
>>6363267>Which character(s) have you had enough of, who you don't really want to see any more of anytime soon if possible?I cant think of anyone I dont want to see, mostly who I want to see more of, but there's so many options I cant decide. Mostly just Batman and the chance to have him help us investigate this shit, and maybe find out why he fucked up so hard. Maybe train him or send him to Elder Pybara. Bringing Moro's bitch ass back when we fucking won fair and square though was bullshit.>If you get the opportunity to focus on your own training, what areas are you hoping to focus on more?Probably a combination of Supreme Instinct training, and then basic stamina and power training. Otherwise training with out kids. Maybe Give Gaor advice on dating since I didnt realize he was as young as he is.I'm really curious to hear our old squad buddies and how they've been getting on. Check on our demon kids since we dont really get a chance to seem them all at once.>And lastly, which franchises are you hoping to see either make their debut or return to SCQ?I miss the old Covenant War races we hung out with, aside from Asia Clan Clan visiting with her daughter, we dont see the goofy cats all that often. Obviously I also want more of the DC Earth and all the spirals we caused while being there, maybe muck about with Flash since we never really got to talk, or even better, Plastic Man, since he is a real bro and we didnt get much chance to talk to him.>>6363285Guts would be a welcome addition to New Salda, help him rescue Casca and get his grove back, then teach him how to shoot lasers so he never has to deal with this bullshit again.
>>6363675>Guts would be a welcome addition to New Salda, help him rescue Casca and get his grove back, then teach him how to shoot lasers so he never has to deal with this bullshit again.>guts after a training arc with karnIf only man. But a struggler must struggle.
>>6363345All the legends of the pen have been leaving us the last decade.>>6363398True, there's been a lot going on behind the scenes.>BorosTrue, wonder if he's been getting along better or worse with Cooler than Freeza?>DB EarthWe'll see.>ChayaShe's reached the end stages of her overall arc, she survived with her mind and soul intact. In your words, she has grown up. The other children are gonna get their own times to shine, their own arcs. Some of whom have already started.>Lightning BodyYou already have that technique, it's the second technique on your character sheet.>GonWell, his entire planet was blown up, so...>Ratchet and ClankConsidering Chairman Drek is still in charge of the Blarg, either it's too early for him, or he was on another planet when the populace was eradicated.>>6363675>MoroThere may or may not be a reason Super Shenron chose to bring him back as well. But for at least this arc and probably the next, depending on what happens, he won't be your problem to solve.>GoarHe's big and strong, and because of that and his mustache people think he's a lot older than he is.>all at onceThat's because they're off doing their own things. Maza's the closest, as he spends his time running your city. Learning every aspect of rule, of maintaining a city and talking with King Vegeta about what running an empire involves.>Clan-ClanHoo boy, are you in for fun this arc with their plan. Do you remember their agreement with King Vegeta?>GutsHe's earned his rest, found his peace.
>>6363755>All the legends of the pen have been leaving us the last decade.just one of many ways time gives us the vicious reminder that the world of today is only temporary.>True, wonder if he's been getting along better or worse with Cooler than Freeza?Cooler strikes me as a stickler for detail. Probably has less tolerance for Boros's business and it might be why the latter has been making himself scarce when near PTO territory. >She's reached the end stages of her overall arc, she survived with her mind and soul intact.thank goodness for that. A proper saiyan warrior needs to be made of pure grit and determination on the inside and the outside. >You already have that technique, it's the second technique on your character sheet.Oh, yeah. Now I remember. Kinda feel dumb now.>Well, his entire planet was blown up, so...Lemme guess, "meteor"? Though I will say King Cold would be 110% justified, Chimera Ants are no joke.>either it's too early for him, or he was on another planet when the populace was eradicated.I didn't think about it, but it is possible he missed his call to adventure or that someone else picked up that phone. Oh well.
>>6363776True. Nothing lasts forever. Why we enjoy the stories we have while they last.Perhaps. Or perhaps Cooler's weaponized Boros against someone else...?Yes. She's reached her current pinnacle, and perhaps even a fight with her future self's in the cards now? Once she masters this power anyways.>spoilerNo, that was after you all crashed their planet after the fat one tried murdering your children, Arctus, and causing other problems. The rest of the family defended him out of familial loyalty, and that was all I wrote. Episode 186, if memory serves. Somewhere in the 180s, but I think it's 6.If he's still on his homeworld. Who knows where the last Lombax ended up? He might have even been added to someone's collection...
>>6363779>No, that was after you all crashed their planet after the fat one tried murdering your children, Arctus, and causing other problemsnow my noggin's jogging again. A retread is probably in order for me. Maybe next week...
Anyone ever hear a song and decide, "Yeah, I'mma make a boss fight for that soundtrack"? Totally not related to the quest or anything, no, why would you ask?>>6363967Every time I pull up the archive, it's just... Wow. We all did that.
>>6364113Not boss fights specifically, but I have definitely choreographed fight scenes to certain songs in my head before.Pretty much anything with flamenco guitar in it gets me in the mood for boxing or fencing, so that probably has something to do with it.
>>6364113The amount of songs I imagined characters doing some actiony sequence in has got to be in the thousands by now.
>>6364114Unironically one of the hardest anime fights of all time. That rematch of Ippo vs Sendo 2 was the peak of the series in my opinion, and when the soundtrack hits at the mix up? Perfection. Modern overly-flashy fights don't capture the grit of a heartfelt brawl like this. And Sendo's roar right before his big counter? That's what I imagine Karn sounds and looks like to everyone who goes up against him and backs him into a corner. Top 5 anime fights of all time, hands down.>>6364140True. And TSFH are masters of the genre, unironically fall asleep to the Solaris album nowadays as background noise. Used to use it to imagine quest scenarios until I fell asleep, now I've pavlov'd myself into the album putting me out.
Also just uploaded the story to go with Haathe's art, think you guys're gonna love this one! Karn's adopted daughters are bonding.
