I have been convinced, changing my vote.
 
Multiform should not affect the mindset needed to reach genki dama. Gohan helped us get into said mindset before, we had two clones active and that didn't stop us.

You feel it all, and in this place, you feel farther than you ever have before, something in the rocksoilwatergrasstrees carrying your awareness miles further than even your prodigious talents can achieve on their own. You sense an entire world, with people scattered all around, and somewhere, not far at all, a tiny home with a presence that feels like warmth and comfort, iron and will, protection and discipline, respect and confidence -- like all good mothers everywhere-

Your eyelids flutter. Grandma Videl?

Yes, that's her. You didn't think I'd work too far from home, did you? But bring it out again. No thoughts. And tell me...where is your ki?

Out your awareness spreads once more, and only once you can drift no farther do you peer again throughout it all for yourself, and...and-

Back.

You blink, pulling yourself up off the couch and away from Endivan and Fasha as you feel One's ki signature flickering back into her body. It feels...

You huff. Two, do you feel that?

Yeah, I do, Three. Can you get away from our siblings and check on her? I'm elbow-deep in note-taking with Miss Fren.

You wrinkle your nose. Lucky. Yeah, I'll throw something together. Three out.

You look down at your little siblings. "Hey, wanna play hide-and-seek?"

Fasha pops up, grinning. "Yeah!" She turns and starts to immediately run away before checking herself. "But, uh, no sensing!" Another few steps, then pause. "Or flying, that's no fair!" Once more. "And don't do that vippy thing you do!" She makes it out the door. A moment later, her head pokes back in. "Come on, E!"

Your littlest brother, still panting on the couch, hops up and sprints after Fasha.

You watch them go and wait until they're a good distance away. Mato looks up at you with a wry expression. "You're gonna do that stuff anyway."

You snort. "I mean, yeah, but not while looking for them. I just needed a minute to go check on something."

He nods. "Okay. Makes sense." He goes back to his notes. "Bye, Kakara. Love you."

"Love you too, doofus," you say, putting your fingers to your forehead.

You reappear next to One. She's flat on her back, staring up at the sky with blank eyes and a massive, blissed-out grin.

...you stare at her for a second.

...Two, did we find out what drugs do at some point, and I just forgot?

...um. No? School has a unit in a couple of months on it?

Yeah, thought so.

...wwhhhyyyyyy?

I'm trying to figure out if One had some at some point. She looks like that drunk guy we saw that one time did.

...what did Grandpa do?

I have no idea. I'm gonna wake her up.

You step forward and poke her. "One. Hey, One. Wake up. I'm not re-merging you when you're like this, I don't want it to spread. Come on, One."

She giggles quietly.

Yep, we're tied. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if the QM just took the casting vote, this once.

I am voting for "feel the grass" because I prefer the simplicity of it. No frills or fiddly bits.

No helping our guys get some respite from the beating they are getting.

I- it's not going too well," she says, pointing to the fight.

Trying and failing to shake cobwebs from your head, you sit up, looking towards the ki signatures you feel.

Yammar looks as bad as he did when he left, just in different places. Dad looks only slightly better. Grandma is on the ground, in base, barely a flicker of ki left after what feels like severe burnout from Tabe's trick, fumbling with numb fingers for a senzu bean. Dazarel stands above them all, actually somewhat hurt but still in fighting shape. He looks furious.

"Di- did you learn what you nee- need- needed?" she asks, looking at the fight with honest and open fear.

You haul yourself to you feet and stare at the fight, your head still echoing with the feeling of that distant Other World and Great-Grandfather Mato's words.

"Kakara?" asks Maya as Dazarel's tail catches your father across the chest, spikes raking a gash there. The dragon lets out a cruel screech of laughter. "Kakara, what are you going to do?"

I mean, this is raising death flags all over for me - I don't actually care all that much about the sorcerers (beyond that I can't see a way for it to backfire unless you count interacting with Dandeer at all to be a net loss) but I'm very worried that there are going to be some survival rolls this fight, and they're going to be significantly harder without us taking the heat long enough for them to Senzu up.

EDIT: Also, I thought the fact that Armageddon Initiative got brought up every time was the joke?

This is getting silly guys, I'd also like to point out that situations like this, where we need to be in two places at once are like the point of having learned multiform

This vote and the counter vote do essentially the same thing except this one has a couple of flat out positives that the other one doesn't. The first positive is that we'll be able to distract the dragon in order to give the adults a break giving them better odds of survival at no personal risk to us and with no negative effect on the Spirit Bomb. The second positive is that if asking the sorcerers succeeds then we get Maya out of danger in addition to ourselves with the only possible negatives being the death of a couple of sorcerers.

Jesus Christ this is silly I've seen some poor reasons not to vote for options before but simplicity really?

Present counterpoints if you wish, but refrain from insulting the opposition's motivations.

EDIT: I'm not deliberately trying to tie things up.
The option with addons feels like an example of SV over-complicating things.
