Dragon Ball: After the End

[PoptartProdigy]

That'll do. You will be jumping Lady Vegeta, coming back to talk Dad down and, if you fail, spiriting Jaffur away using the Solar Flare and Instant Transmission.

 

[PoptartProdigy]

Just a head's up for you all: you failed the Communication check to get Dad to back down. And no amount of cookies will be fixing that check.

By which I mean you don't have enough stockpiled between yourselves to fix it.

 

[PoptartProdigy]

On the other hand, one cookie offered up will allow you to succeed on grabbing Jaffur and legging it. @Terrabrand, I presume you're still good with devoting yours?

(These rolls are killing you. Well, granted, the easiest check you've made so far had you rolling at a total comparative malus of -40, but still)

 

[Chaossama]

This....will not be a pretty update, will it?

 

[Terrabrand]

On the other hand, one cookie offered up will allow you to succeed on grabbing Jaffur and legging it. @Terrabrand, I presume you're still good with devoting yours?

That's fine. This is a critical enough juncture that I see no sense holding my cookie while everything goes to hell. What would I use it for if we died or something, after all?

 

[Kelirapc]

Hey, I went with the jiichan vote, seemed way more simpler.

That's fine. This is a critical enough juncture that I see no sense holding my cookie while everything goes to hell. What would I use it for if we died or something, after all?

Cookie struck from the cookie jar, and you all have successfully juked a Full-Powered Super Saiyan, for the time being.

...and successfully convinced Jaffur to back down and detransform! You're doing great!

Spoiler: Winning Vote

[X] I stand with the Senzus. No. This has gone too far, and you don't think everything is as it seems. Join Raditz in stopping Lady Vegeta, and...fight your Dad...somehow...
-[X] Instant transmission next to Lady Vegeta, grab her, then teleport away with her and knock her unconscious.
--[X] Once Lady Vegeta's knocked out, teleport back and attempt to talk Dad and Jaffur down.
--[X] If Dad attempts to attack you/knock you unconscious after you come back, use Solar Flare, grab Jaffur and teleport away with him:
---[X] Afterwards, make sure you both power down, knocking Jaffur unconscious if necessary.
--[X] If Dad attempts to prevent you from teleporting away with Lady Vegeta and you aren't touching her yet, do the same as if he tries to attack you.

Prelude
​

There is a single moment of conflict stretching out across the milliseconds -- nanoseconds, really, at this point -- before you come to a decision.

You are not ready to Seal Jaffur. You need more.

You need more information.

You need more time.

Something about this situation doesn't add up. Why is...Daddy alive? You shudder even asking it, but you need to know.

You need answers, and for that, you need this situation to be defused.

There is one point you can target to achieve that.

In a second, your fingers are on your forehead and-

vip

-your palm is slapping into Lady Vegeta's shoulder and with an effort of will you lock onto a random human a thousand miles away and pull-

vip

-arriving five thousand feet up in the backwash of an airplane before deliberately using that same signature to cast yourself a thousand miles due west-

vip

-over an ocean with an island just below and lock on again and carefully, carefully snap your head into hers and drop before zipping another thousand miles off-

vip

and gather yourself, re-orient yourself and from that figure out which way to go to return to the Training Hall.

Trait and Reputation Gained: Decisive

You can't, of course, simply lock onto Dad's ki signature. He's inside the Hall, and while you can sense things outside the Hall from within, the reverse is, quite by design, not true. Things go in, but not out.

But you've been there maybe four nights out of every five for your entire life; you know where it is.

vip

The sentry on duty, Masqued, jumps as you appear in front of him. "Scion?" he says, before bowing deeply. "I hadn't realized you'd left."

Vegetan, you think. No Gokun would bow and scrape like that.

"I needed to fly a bit," you say, swallowing. "But I'm back now. Let me in?"

[Deceit: Greater Success]

"Of course," he says, tapping out the pattern to open the gate. The rock melts out of the way with a familiar slithering sound. "Please do let whoever is on duty know that you're leaving next time, though. Your Lord father would be very angry with us if you got lost and we didn't know where you'd gone."

"You'll be fine," you say, smiling at him. He's being nice, after all. You start to head back into the Hall.

"Oh, and Scion, congratulations!" he says, giving you a grin.

You blink at him. "Huh?"

He gestures at you. "Your transformation. Congratulations on unlocking it."

You abruptly realize that you're still transformed, and flush.

"We all felt it when the storm moved in," he says, still grinning. "And that wall shattering -- before and after? Must have been a hell of a fight."

Your eyelid twitches, but you manage to smile back. "Ah...thanks. It's...something. I should go, though. Dad'll be wondering where I am."

He nods. "Of course. Good luck today!"

You give him a curt nod and head into the Hall.

As you enter, you sense two things.

Those things are your parents, and are distinctly not Jaffur.

Then you pick him up.

He's unconscious. Great.

You stop just short of stepping into the Hall, taking a quick breath. Then you head out into the arena.

Both of your parents are looking at you. They couldn't have missed your approach; you can't actually manipulate the Super Saiyan boost at all, it's just a monolithic body of power unless you drain it through exhaustion or injury. They felt you coming the whole way down.

Dad is holding Jaffur by the back of his gi, and the other Scion is out cold. Mom is standing back, with a mixture of fear and anger on her face.

"Kakara," says Dad. "I'm not angry. But I am very disappointed in you."

Your prepared defiance evaporates under that phrase. Dad's opinion means so much to you. You can't bear to think that you've let him down. "I..."

"I want to know why you thought attacking Lady Vegeta was a good idea, Kakara," he says. "No excuses, no dodging. Explain. Now."

[Communication Check: Oof. Well, you sound your age]

"...I don't trust her," you mumble, looking away. "She was hurting Jaffur. She said it wouldn't, but he was screaming."

Dad sighs. "Byproduct of the spell, Kakara," he said. "It didn't hurt Lord Vegeta, she thought it wouldn't hurt Jaffur."

"I don't believe her!" you shout.

"Lord Vegeta was sleeping, Kakara," he says, patiently. "It makes sense that he wouldn't react, even if it hurt. I don't forgive her lack of proper precautions, but mistakes happen."

You change tacks. "But what about Jaffur?" you ask. "If he's so bad, why aren't you...you..." You hiccough, and realize that at some point you've started to cry again. "He didn't k-ki...he didn't really hurt you, even when he had the chance."

Dad sighs. "And I'm thankful for that. It's that side of him that we're trying to preserve, Kakara. This will keep him from losing it. He needs this, Kakara."

"But that spell she was casting was wrong!" you scream, trying and failing to find the words to encapsulate the sick feeling that her magic inspired in you.

And the wrong words they are, because at the sound of them Dad's face hardens. "I raised you better than that," he whispers, audible to you even fifty meters away thanks to your enhanced senses. "The Sorcerers sacrifice so much to keep us safe. Glory, respect -- in the eyes of many, undeservedly, their honor. I thought I'd taught you to honor that sacrifice. Clearly not."

You hunch your shoulders, wanting to scream that that wasn't what you'd meant, but before you can, he speak again.

"Get over here," he says. "You're going to take me to where you left Lady Vegeta, and we're going to finish this. Now."

You start shuffling towards him, eyes downcast. "Where are the Senzus?"

"Gone," he says. "They tried to fight me, and lost. They're flying back to their family hall now."

Indeed, with a slight stretching of your senses, you can feel them flying off.

Slowly off, and spreading out. Hm.

You come to a halt in front of Dad. He reaches out to you. "Take me to Lady Vegeta."

You look at his hand, look away, and slowly reach up.

[Deceit: Bare Pass]

You manage to disguise yourself raising your other hand by scratching at your hair, and only raise your hands to your forehead at the last second. "Taiyoken!"

"AARGH!"

As the strobe of golden light goes off and blinds your parents, Jaffur lunges up, apparently conscious after all, transforms, and seizes your Dad's tail. Dad stiffens and falls to the ground, his strength gone, and Jaffur lunges out, reaching towards you. You reach out, and the instant your fingers touch-

vip

-you are clear to the other side of the planet. You begin flashing around as fast as possible to confuse pursuit.

"Drop the-"

vip

"-transformation!" You say-

vip

-to him, earning a scornful look.

vip

"Why on Earth would I-"

vip

"-do that?"

"We're Super Saiyans now, they can track us!"

[Communication: Pass]

He snarls. "Fine!"

With a pulse-

vip

-of golden light, he reverts to base, and you do the same.

vip

You both conceal your power levels as much as you can-

vip

-and then you take a few more jumps for safety's sake.

vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip vip

Just basic precautions, really.

[Where did you land: Maybe good, maybe bad]

You whirl on him. "Okay, I want some answers-"

He waves you off, closing his eyes. "Later." He frowns. "Do you sense my cousin?"

"Answer my-!"

"DO I LOOK LIKE I FEEL LIKE ANSWERING QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW!" he yells, whirling around at you.

And...no. No, he does not. He is beaten and bloodied. Now that he's not transformed, he's shaking. Blood bubbles from his lips with every breath, and he's getting paler by the second.

You close your eyes, and-

-blink. "They're right there!"

You both whip around, and sure enough, the Senzus are there. At least, one of them is, just barely over the edge of the horizon.

"Betarel!" gasps Jaffur, waving.

The boy waves back, turns, and shouts at the top of his lungs, "I found them!"

The rest of his family zips over to you in the next few seconds.

Raditz comes to a halt in front of you. "Good, I was hoping one of us would spot you once you stopped. Betarel?"

The boy fumbles around for a Senzu and tosses it to Jaffur, who simply eats it straight out of the air with a grunt. The entire family masks their power levels, as Jaffur swallows, and...very conspicuously does not power up, instead simply flexing his muscles and closing in eyes in contemplation. "Hmph. Not much of a zenkai. Makes sense, I guess. You're not actually stronger than me when we're both at our best."

You huff. "Well excuse me, jerk, I only just saved you!"

"Debatable."

"Rrragh, you make me so mad-!"

"Enough!" shouts Raditz, pushing the two of you apart. "Scion Kakara, we are grateful for your actions, but we need to get the two of you out of here right now. I don't know how long it will take your Lord father to find Lady Vegeta, and even beyond that we need to move before he realizes why he can't sense my family anymore and-"

[Speak of the Devil: Oh, shit]

vip

Raditz goes flying, his wife vanishes, Betarel and his siblings all seem to simply fall asleep, and you and Jaffur transform in barely enough time to leap up and out of the way.

Your Dad comes screeching to a halt with a titanic BANG of compressed atmosphere, plasma created by the sheer pressure of his passage roiling out in a great wave through the air.

"I am done with this!" roars Dad, powering all the way up. "Kakara, you will power down this instant, and let me do this! Jaffur is not stable or safe, and I-"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"

Jaffur zips by you with a roar in a streak of golden light, launching himself at your Dad. To your eyes he flashes around Dad as more a golden halo than any kind of trajectory, passing beyond visibility. Yet despite that, Dad doesn't seem bothered, blocking everything.

You gulp, and leap in.

[A bunch of Hand-to-hand checks say: impressive showing, but...]

You...have better luck. Better, in that Dad doesn't seem willing to strike back at you, even to block. So he just lets your blows bounce off of his body.

It's infuriating. Nothing you do is having an impact. Perhaps if you were better, faster...stronger. Perhaps then you would have even the slightest hope of defeating him.

But you knew going into this that you didn't, and the plan was never to face him head on. You couldn't account for all of the factors drawing you close to him, and now it's all spun out of control.

Finally, Dad tires of your efforts and phases away. It wasn't even Instant Transmission, it was just so fast as to make no functional difference at all.

You and Jaffur freeze mid-attack, help in an iron grip of ki.

Dad sighs. "This is so wasteful of ki. But I don't want to hurt either of you." He phases in front of you, and places a hand on your forehead. "Let's see where Lady Vegeta is."

And suddenly, you are thinking of the exact spot where you left her, and then Dad is reaching out for you-

vip

-and you are there.

Dad leaves you two behind in the surf on the island's shore and strides away to wake Lady Vegeta up. He doesn't bother with any subtlety; he simply pours ki into her as he approaches, making her awaken with a jerk and a gasp.

"Do it," he growls, blowing past her. "I am done."

"No."

Dad's head snaps up to something above your field of view. "Raditz..."

"No!"

"Give up!" says Dad, lifting off. "This is for the best, and you can't stop it!"

"No. This...is not your affair. Not your business. You have no right! I...I..."

Raditz's power level spikes-

CRASH

"You dare?!" roars Dad, suddenly out of sight. "Your resistance, I can understand, but to dare reach for the transformation? Don't you speak to me of what my rights are, you lawbreaking cretin!"

There is an impact, and then Raditz falls to the ground, unconscious. Dad drifts back down, and-

"DAD!"

-he sighs, closing his eyes and pinching at the bridge of his nose as Betarel rockets in, smashing ineffectually away. "Boy," says Dad, "sit down. Please?"

Betarel simply screams and keeps attacking, to no avail.

Lady Vegeta shakes her head slowly and turns to the two of you. "It's going to be alright, Jaffur," she says, raising her hands. "I'm going to make you feel better. I promise."

Jaffur's ki is a roiling storm beside you, and you can nearly hear his screaming.

Lady Vegeta flips through a series of hand seals and says, "Paparapapa."

Jaffur snaps the binding your Dad has on him, but not to attack.

No, Jaffur breaks free simply to scream.
You are Prince Jaffur Vegeta, the Scion of Vegeta.
Lady Vegeta starts crying, but continues her spell. "Paparapapa."
You are Prince Jaffur Vegeta.
Jaffur curls up on himself, wailing.
You are Jaffur Vegeta.
"It'll be over soon, Jaffur, I promise! Paparapapa!"
You are Jaffur.
"Please!" shouts Jaffur, writhing.
Jaffur.
In the distance, your Dad snags Betarel out of the air and tucks the boy under his arm.
Ja...Jaff...Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
"Let him go!" screams Betarel.
You are Jaron Somerlad.
Jaffur drops out of his transformation.
You are eight years old, and have a Mom, a Dad, and a little sister.
"Paparapapa!"
You sometimes resent your Dad, because he works so much and is gone so often, leaving you and your little sister alone.
Jaffur flickers between his base form and his Super Saiyan state, struggling to maintain control.
But your Mom is always there for you.
His eyes lock on you and he screams, "HELP ME!"
And you love her.
Lady Vegeta's hands twist through another array of seals. "Papara..."
You love her with all your heart.
Jaffur screams to the heavens, flashing back into his transformed state...
And nothing else is as important as that.
"PAPA!"
You love her. You love her with all your heart. You love her. You love her with all your heart. You love her. You love her with...
...and then he crashes down through his base state and into his Masque before slumping back on the sand, eyes fluttering shut.

Dad releases you and Betarel, and you both collapse on the sand, your eyes locked on the fallen Scion.

He looks oddly peaceful this way. His skin is fairer than it is as a Saiyan -- but that's typical, really. Clan Vegeta tends to frequent the polar regions more often, and their Masques match that. His hair is curly, the color of burnished brass.

And when his eyes open, locking with yours, they are a purely human blue.

The two of you stare at each other for a long time. His brow furrows. "Who're you?"

The bottom drops out of your stomach drops out, and you stumble to your feet and a pace back from him in revulsion at the implications of that statement.

He scowls in offense, looking around. "Mom? What's going on? Where are we? Who-?" He does a double take, looking at you. "Does she have a tail?"

"Saint preserve me," she mumbles, making a sign. "'parapapa. Go to sleep, Jaron."

His eyelids immediately droop, and his head falls back on the sand.

Dad steps forward with a weary stride. "I didn't know his Masque Name was Jaron. Never tried to find out, really. Didn't know his hair was blond, either."

"It's usually not," says Lady Vegeta, reaching out to stroke her son's hair. "Not curly, either. Nor are his eyes blue. Him being transformed when the spell fired must have interacted with the spell oddly. But...no, it's holding steady. He is Sealed. We'll have to move homes in order to cover up the change, but he's Sealed."

Your revulsion reaches a critical mass. Maybe it's too late, but you can't just watch this, it's wrong! You launch forward with the full power of a newly-ascended Super Saiyan and-

-stop dead, as Dad catches and restrains you without looking. "Dandeer, would you?"

She blinks at Dad. "What, really?"

"Yes. She needs to settle down."

"Okay. 'papa."

Ki floods out of you, dispersing into the air and leaving you exhausted. You slump in your Dad's arms, and he picks you up. "It amazes me that you can do that so casually," he says.

"I'm not a Master for nothing," she says, turning back to her son.

"...tell me he'll be okay, Dandeer," says Dad. "Tell me that I haven't made a mistake."

She doesn't respond for a long moment, smiling at her son and petting his hair. Finally, she says, "You haven't. He will live the rest of his life as a happy and carefree boy. He isn't Prince Jaffur anymore -- he's just Jaron Somerlad, whose Dad runs a business and whose Mom takes care of him. He has nothing to worry about other than school and the fact that girls are going to start acting weird very soon. And he will be happy. He'll have his family. He'll have me, always, even when his father is away at work." She sighs. "I...wish it hadn't hurt. I honestly thought it wouldn't, after Vegeta. But it's done now, and he's safe. He won't turn into the monster he could have been. Never. I have my son back. I have my family back. Thank you, Berra." She gathers Jaffur up into a hug, sighing deeply.

Dad nods, slowly. "It was...the right thing to do." He lifts off. "Goodbye, Dandeer. I'll see you again some time soon. But for now...I have to see to my own family."

She nods. "Of course, Berra. Thank you. So much."

Dad carries you back to the Hall, and you fall asleep out of sheer exhaustion on the way there. He either doesn't notice, or doesn't mention, the tears sliding down your face and into his gi.

Tutorial Complete

* * *
​

oh FSM, we're doomed

Click to shrink...

What no why would you think that thats crzy...

In all honesty, you all had a good plan. It avoided combat with Berra and had you on the run as soon as you could while eliminating the biggest threat. But you couldn't have predicted the actions of the Senzus, and ending up within their search net truly was a random roll. From there, Berra had an opening to find you.

And at that point you were fighting a Full-Powered Super Saiyan head-on. The kindest roll in that matchup had you operating at a relative -60. Even if you all burned your cookies at once you weren't turning that around. The tragic thing is that you even had really good rolls, and passed several checks out of combat in style...but the Power Levels system imposed colossal penalties. You even managed to juke your Dad in close quarters, which astounded me! The plan was great, you just got screwed by outside factors.

Moving forward...

The official story given to everybody after the Sealing was that you transformed and were a vital assistant in the effort to Seal Jaffur. As far as anybody knows, you had your first transformation defeating your insane counterpart. Only you, and those present, know the truth...

Spoiler: Show 'Em What They've Won!

Defeat Gained: Jaffur's Sealing! You fought with Jaffur to prevent his Sealing at his Mother's hands...and you failed. You put up a valiant showing, taking your father across the globe in his attempts to help Dandeer, but ultimately circumstances beyond your control took the victory from you. Now Jaffur is as good as human...as far as you know, permanently.

Reputation Lost: Weakling! While few adults dare say anything to your face for fear of the consequences, your fellow children are more open. You are regarded as a despised weakling with no stomach or spine for fighting. While Scions are ordained by Seers at birth, many question why you of all people hold your position.

Reputations Gained: "the Mighty!" You are the first Scion to have their first transformation in battle in centuries -- even Jaffur had his after the fight was thoroughly concluded, and what followed was no fight. You ascended mid-battle and proceeded to fight a duel with another Super Saiyan, dominating the clash. While you consider the events that followed to be no victory, as far as the wider world knows you won a mighty victory over Jaffur and then hounded him across the planet before helping to put him down. You haven't disabused them of this conceit yet, although that may change. You are a figure of sheer awe and in some cases literally religious significance. The stain of perceived cowardice has been wiped clean, and in the eyes of many, your words hold immense weight.

Decisive: Your recent actions have led to a reputation for quick thinking and swift action in a crisis. Despite the misconceptions most hold regarding the matter, you must admit that your ability to act decisively is not one that's been exaggerated. In an urgent situation, people will more often look to you for direction.

Temporary Trait Lost: "A Promise to Jiichan!"

Trait Gained: Mature! You have been forced to make difficult choices and endure great pains and trials well before anybody your age should have. This experience has changed you in some undefinable yet easily-noticeable way, putting you a lonely step ahead of your peers. The QM will transcribe more age-inappropriate statements verbatim, and you gain a small bonus to all mental actions. You take a small penalty to interact normally with others of your age group, although you can counteract this with careful action.

You've used your skills to the verge of your abilities during this week, and looking back, you can say that you've grown by it. Of the skills you've used a lot and can improve at this time, which one have you particularly improved in? (Choose one of the following to rank up in)

[ ] Hand-to-Hand Combat [Dueling]
[ ] Communication
[ ] Deceit
[ ] Solar Flare
[ ] Instant Transmission
[ ] Ki Control

What is your reaction to Jaffur's Sealing, once you've had the time to take a step back and reflect on it? Vote for all that apply. The top three will win and form a trait together, with standard tiebreaker methods. Conflicting choices are allowed! Feelings are hard, okay?

[ ] Understanding. You can get why Lady Vegeta did this. You understand her wish to have her family back.
[ ] Horrified. This...this was monstrous. You can't condone this. You will never condone this. Lady Vegeta has your fear and revulsion now.
[ ] Guilty. You should have stopped this. You should have been better. You should have thought before acting and making things worse. It's all your fault.
[ ] Furious. How dare she? This is a horrific crime, and you won't ever forgive it!
[ ] Intrigued. So...this is what magic is capable of, in the hands of a master. The possibilities are fascinating.
[ ] Glad. Okay, so, on balance Jaffur was a total jerk, and given the time to reflect on it, you're pretty happy he's gone.
[ ] Write-In. Six options don't really encompass the totality of the emotions you could be feeling right now.

For newcomers: the above votes are now closed.

​

...anybody for hugs? I'm giving out free hugs.

We commence normal gameplay after this vote concludes. Typical gameplay structure will involve you voting what you plan on doing for a year in broad strokes (i.e., train Hand-to-Hand Combat [Dueling]). You'll get a certain number of options and a lesser amount of actions to use on these options. Some options will be mandatory (for example, primary school as a human, which is essential to the Masquerade and thus non-optional). Once that's been decided, we'll handle the resolution of those choices in update chains much like the one we've just concluded. But that's for later! In the now, you get to rank up and pick your last tutorial trait! Bear in mind, from this point onward you will still gain traits, but at a reduced pace.

Hope you all have enjoyed the tutorial! Before I close this out, I have one rule change: cookies are now restricted to no more than three applied per check given how game-breaking they can be. I don't want to artificially restrict the supply though, so I'm just yoking back on how many can stack up at once.

[X] Communication

Communications is one of the only checks it seems like we could've realistically passed and didn't. No amount of being stronger that we could have done would've let us take Berra.

I'm horrified that the Lady Vegeta pulled this off: For one thing, the two clans thin kept power in check. Now, if Berra goes insane or gets mind controlled or even just garden variety deceived, no one on the planet can stop him. There's no hope if Berra is convinced to try to strike us down (admittedly unlikely, but mind control...), or otherwise take a bad course.

There is an impact, and the Raditz falls to the ground, unconscious. Dad drifts back down, and-

[Larekko12]

Welp I hate dad. Now. I have quite thoroughly lost my ability to respect him.


Jaffur won't have shit. Jaffur is dead. Until his body dies and he has the ability to make his wrath known in the afterlife.

For the grand crime of not letting himself be mindraped and trying to get out from under his abuser.

Oh and knocking us out while senzu beans where a thing and we were sparring.


There are many many many things I feel.

But glad and intrigued are the worst. A kaka that felt that at this I'd scum that deserves to rot in the Home for infinite losers.

Freiza is laughing there at this.

And Raditz almost went super over it.


Can we get a write in that encompasses an absolute hate and fear of everyone involved in this crime against nature and a bone deep desire to correct it and trip apart the system the encourages it.

I mean the after life is a thing. If they think he will inevitably go saiyan crazy they can simply kill him.

Ooh, i like that. I'm genuinely worried/suspecting that the Lady Vegeta is an evil sorcerer with plans to take over the world and that taking out 2/4ths of the most powerful beings on the planet is step one.

Like, I seriously think she's a grave threat that something needs to be done about, even if she's not intentionally malicious she's drastically reduced our military and law enforcement strength in one fell swoop. And I like Jaffur, as a bonus, but I'm not convinced that even the Lord Vegeta being sealed wasn't a bad thing.

[X] Intrigued. So...this is what magic is capable of, in the hands of a master. The possibilities are fascinating.
