Last time, on Dragon Ball Tuffle Quest Z! You and Chiaotzu escaped from the illusion planet that took the form of Brench and made it to Metamor, where you learned about their Fusion Dance technique, attempting it with a suspiciously familiar redheaded girl and... not quite getting it on the first try. But this little detour seems to have been cut short, as Chiaotzu warns you of Lazuli attracting the attention of Cooler!
Hoo boy this sounds like a mess in the making. "Now, hold on, what do you mean by that? How'd she get the attention of Cooler?"
Chiaotzu lowers his head sadly, presenting you with a piece of what looks like paper. "This is being broadcast over several systems. People here just picked up on it. It's..."
"A wanted posted?" you ask aloud, looking it over. You can't quite read it, but it's exceptionally clear what it's stating. There's an image of Lazuli on it, mostly disguised with what seems to be some kind of face-concealing scarf and rather loose garments, but... there's this look of fire in her eyes. As if she'd seen deepest, darkest regions of the Demon Realm.
And resolved to not rest until she stopped it.
Gods, what's she been through? Chiaotzu looks up at you nervously. "They know what she looks like. We need to get to Brench soon."
>A. All right, let's get to the ship >B. ...you know, she might be doing fine if she's lasted this long on her own, let's try to investigate this a bit first >C. Something else?

Picking up some supplies for the trip may not be a bad idea. Never know when you're going to need to do some quick fixes on the ship, or if there's any way to install modules on the ship to make it more stealthy for a better getaway.
In addition, Maple knows that Cooler is at least as strong as 2nd or 3rd form Frieza, who was capable of crushing them pretty handily. Taking a moment to investigate more about this fusion dance or any other interesting techniques that the Metamorans might have could be useful when they go to rescue her.
Grayson Young
I agree with this actually. Though at 640,000 she's pretty much nearly a match for third form Freeza. Maybe we can start preparing the lawsuit?
Brayden Roberts
This. We might need some gear moving forward.
James Rivera
You are about to agree with him, but stop and think it over. "Wait... Chiaotzu, I know gut instinct is to try and get her out as soon as possible, but if we rush into this without a plan... well, it'll just end poorly for all of us."
"But Maple, if we don't act soon, Lazuli-!"
"Will be able to handle herself. We've got to put some faith in her if she's made it this long. Do you really think any of us can stand against Freeza or Cooler yet, especially if we just rush in there without a real exit strategy?" you ask calmly. "We'll meet up again soon, I know she needs our help, but we can't do anything without gathering some more information first, forming some kind of plan. Something that'll give us an edge if we're confronted with Cooler."
He frowns and attempts to protest, but lacks an alternative and merely nods. "Well... what do you propose?"
You take another look at the paper. "Hrmn... first off, let's get some information on what all this says. Could give us something to work off of."
>A. Try for one of the locals >B. See if that other redhead and her bodyguard know anything >C. Try to find that blue alien man again, he seemed knowledgeable >D. Something else?

Hi Kato
I managed to pick up that spaghetti and cook it on my own.
