Ship of Fools: A Taylor Varga Omake (Complete)

If they Hate Time Travel then I wonder how they would react to universes like Negima, Sailor Moon or Doctor Who. I have to ask how you guys would rate technology from Nanoha, TYPE-MOON, Sailor Moon, Doctor Who, Metroid and the Kirby Series in comparison to what the Ship of Fools has already collected? Could the Ship be improved much using tech from these universes? It is too bad that they can't get the Ori's tech without being caught.

Even the Varga does not mess with true time travel.

There are things more powerful than a Greater Demon out there and at least one of them is liable to turn up and inquire very politely and coldly what the hell you think you're doing. You don't want that to happen :)

No one wants that to happen. Especially not twice...
Poyo. A certain Pink Thing for example? He is as powerful as he is as a child now so imagine just how strong he will be as an adult.

Negima, not that familiar with it actually. Sailor Moon, Ranma and company nuked the time gates into non-existence just barely in time to prevent their entire dimension from suffering catastrophic reality failure because the time gate was monkeying with time travel. As for Doctor Who, I believe that dimension is categorically labeled as "off limits" and everyone is surprised it still exists.

Regarding tech, they would likely never encounter any tech from the Whoverse because nobody is insane enough to go there. TYPE-MOON to my knowledge mainly deals with amoral mages and beings of godlike power, not advanced technology. Sailor Moon's tech mostly turned out to not actually be from the Silver Millennium. It was either found by the time gate (the silence glave) or was created by the Senshi during one of the many attempts the Time Gate made to recreate the Silver Millennium. And while it was interesting, the tech proved inferior to Ranma and company's phones. The tech in Metroid isn't actually all that impressive either. Well, the ability to digitally download physical weapon systems and weapon upgrades into a biological system. Oh, and form missiles/bombs from the corpses of random critters. As for the Kirby series, the tech there is again not generally speaking that impressive. The impressive tech is generally magic fueled clockwork tech or pure magic.

Also, I'd probably suggest that staying well away from Nanoha's branch of the multiverse is a Good Idea.

TYPE-MOON Has the Kaleidosticks and the Moon Cell which both use technology and Magic. And Kirby has the Ancients who built the Nova's and designed the Lor Starcutter. I would have figured that the Robobot armour would be interesting if only to take over Nick Fury's Helicarrier like it took over the Battleship Halberd.
 
You mean the Kirby who can survive without issue in a black hole the size of Earth? Not the mass, the size. That's some Varga-level BS, right there.
Yes, THAT Kirby. If Characters in Smash were allowed their FULL POWER than anyone who chose Kirby would have a Insta-Win unless it was against another Kirby. It is nice to see Taylor merge with Varga, Now Imagine Taylor getting turned into a Female Kirby.

He's easily the most powerful character in all of the Nintendo franchises, by numerous orders of magnitude. The things he's done are absolutely insane, when you stop to think about them.

There's a definite reason why he Kirb-stomped DBZ's Buu in the Death Battle, and that's with them massively phoning it in on his feats. I mean, he threw a giant monster (along with a giant frying pan) hard enough to orbit the sun and slingshot back, and they only counted it for its escape velocity! He literally threw that thing faster than light, given that it flew well over twice the distance to the sun in under a minute. He's easily on par with Dora the Explorer, Silver Age Superman, and Saitama for sheer WTFitude.

...and I think this is off-topic. Back to the story!

I wonder just who else the Ship of Fools will end up recruiting in the Future? I'm sure that there are plenty of people out there who would want to leave their native universe for one reason or another. If it was something like DBS then I could see WHY. WHO would want to stay in a part of the multiverse where it's ruler can decide to Erase your Universe on a whim. I'm also certain that there are AU Timelines of Universes there where the MC is Gender-Bent Or it is a combination Universe that makes full logical sense existing (Negima, Ranma 1/2, Kotekyo Hitman Reborn, Inuyasha, Nanoha, Sailor Moon, Pretty Cure, Digimon, Oh My Goddess! and Bleach sharing a Universe) or one where the MC has a Bad End. Example being a Female Harry Potter who had everyone turn on her for something that is stupid but the Purebloods believe is smart and toss her into Azkaban without trial like Sirius Was because she is OBVIOUSLY Guilty (Cedric's Death or Opening the Chamber of Secrets because she is a Parselmouth). It would be interesting seeing the Family show up in a Combined Universe and cause chaos once they finish up here. What else is left for them to do anyway? Is it Important?

Saurial leading a strange man in the BBFO :
"Joe let me introduce you to my cousins Metis and Ianthe! Metis, Ianthe this is Mr. Black ! He is interested to see our tech. and to see if we would be interested to teach somes class in his castle on an island near the polar circle"
Aka 'Mr Black meet the giant lizards' :lol:

A scene with the Lone Traveller could be fun too now that I think about it

Now the image of an AU Mad Scientist Akane Tendo joining the Family after deciding to weaponize her "Cooking" is in my head after I started reading "Desperately Seeking Ranma". Imagine the rampaging abominations that is Akane's "Cooking" being used for "Training" the New Slayers and Superheroes.
 
It's like whatever mysterious agency handed out tinker powers didn't want people leaving Earth.
Heh, if Baal wasn't in such a rush he had a good chance to figure out something rather important there.

Regarding tech, they would likely never encounter any tech from the Whoverse because nobody is insane enough to go there.
The Whoverse is one of those 'Warhammer-style response' realities that you just nope right out of at maximum velocity should you ever find yourself there, in Warhammer it's because Chaos. In the Whoverse it's because you're dealing with a reality where retcon weaponry has been employed so frequently and on such a massive scale that it has left a permanent scar on the very nature of existence, and if there is anything that is more problematic to deal with than Chaos, it is retcon weaponry.

TYPE-MOON to my knowledge mainly deals with amoral mages and beings of godlike power, not advanced technology.
Given the Second Magic, there is a non-zero chance that the Ship of Fools won't find TYPE/MOON so much as TYPE/MOON will find them. Specifically in the form of a certain old magical-girl-obsessed vampire and\or his apprentices.

There was a TV omake where she was summoned to the Discworld, and another where a dark lord tried summoning a demon only to be told that BBFO's schedule was full at the moment.
It is a good thing that they can seemingly avoid Summonings like that. I wouldn't be surprised if when Traveling the Multiverse, Saurial checked the Native Earth's Internet for "realities where you don't want to end up due to loss of sanity or extreme anger". I'd be pissed if I ended up Summoned by Louise from Familiar of Zero because of both Louise herself as well as the crapsack World that the setting is in. I would still be upset if I was summoned by Tiffania instead of Louise but not as upset because Tiffania's personality is adorable and doesn't make me what to strangle her like Louise does.
 
Eh, as a being that is personally capable of interdimensional travel being summoned into FoZ is only a mild inconvenience; the FoZ familiar contract isn't 'sealed' until the summoner kisses the summoned familiar, so as long as said summoned being can travel between realities on their own there's no reason they can't just turn around and leave.

Assuming of course that they enter the summoning portal in the first place, as both the FoZ manga and anime show that the FoZ familiar summoning works by creating a portal in front of the summon target which they must then pass through (intentionally or accidentally) rather than by summoning them directly. Working more like D&D's Gate style summoning than the typical 'grab target and metaphysically yank' method, so as problematic summonings go that one is fairly low down on the list, even if the completed familiar contract does employ a degree of coercive mind control. (It is somewhat unclear exactly what goes on there, though the novels do confirm that the Gandalfr\Void Familiar runes coerce their bearer to fall in love with their master while suppressing memories of their past and various other slow-onset mind fuckery, given the history of the original Void familiars exactly how deep that mind fuckery goes is very much debatable.)

I think four feet of sharp EDM could probably do a pretty good job at keeping Louise from kissing Saurial.

Or, you know, an arm. Louise is an unfit ~150cm 16 year old young woman raised and indoctrinated in a highly insulated, pampered environment and the kiss needs to be on the lips or lip equivalent. Preventing her from kissing you if you don't want to be kissed is not difficult.

Isn't the main reason that people get Kissed in Fanfiction because they DON'T expect to get kissed in the first place?

I would assume so, but if I suddenly found myself in an unfamiliar place surrounded by unfamiliar people speaking an unfamiliar language and after what is obviously an argument one of them suddenly moved towards me like that, I'd be putting my arms up to hold them off whether I was expecting to be kissed or not. Sudden invasions of personal space are not the sort of thing most people are mentally conditioned to just allow, at least not western people. Can't speak for other cultures.

I was just saying, Saurial doing her usual 'pull a sword out of literally nowhere' would certainly get her point across.
