Dragon Ball Tuffle Quest Z #43

>You are Maple Son-Mahogany, one of two young Tuffle twins thrown at Earth starting in early Dragon Ball by your "father," Dr. Raichi

>"Canon" had already taken a sharp turn from the "norm" when you began, and through your actions, choices, and dialogue, took even further turns from the "norm," and will probably continue to do so

>Stats and dice mechanics are used, and can be explained again as needed

>Let's all try to have some fun, ok?

Last time, on Dragon Ball Tuffle Quest Z! The battle against the Frost Demons continued, with Cooler and Freeza falling and the Tree of Might Smoothie being handed out to you and your allies. Sadly, you fell in battle against King Cold in a terrible stroke of luck, though with Chi-chi's aid you managed to be restored quickly, and were greeted by a warning about the future from your son Gohan! But before he could continue with any more of his warning, another, angrier Time Traveler appeared before you...

The pink woman's glare seems to send a chill down Gohan's spine. "I'm going to use this as a lesson for all of you. And I really hope you all pay attention to this. Now, are all of you listening?"

Bra and Trunks nod cautiously, the older Pantea emphatically nodding in agreement, Gohan gulping and nodding, while most of your group seems to give their own affirmations. You cross your arms, look turning to Goku. "Looks like our boy's gotten himself in a bit of tr-"

"This goes EXTRA for the two of you!" Buula shouts strictly, pointing at you and Goku. "My boss was lenient given the stunt Kami pulled here. Don't test her patience now that you know better. Now, everyone?" You see her take in a lot of air before she shouts, loud enough to almost knock everyone over, "TIME TRAVEL IS DANGEROUS!"

Agh, ears ringing! Ow! Gohan seems to look at her in an apologetic manner. "I-I'm sor-"

Buula holds up her hand. "No, you don't really understand what you've done. The method you used to Time Travel, as your friend here told me, allows you to almost freely move back and forth between points in time, depending on the date you put in it. Correct?"

Gohan seems... smaller as he nods. "B-Bulma said it wouldn't require as much fuel-"

"Because it siphons small amounts of fuel from time itself." she states, eyes going into a squint. "It isn't a bad design, I admit, but the problem is that it can cause... issues..." she motions to Bra and Trunks.

Goku nudges you in the shoulder. "Don't really think I'm getting this, Maple. Mind helping me out?"

>A. Remember our... "trip" to Planet Plant? Oozaru training?
>B. Let her finish first, can explain later
>C. Wait, Buula, so your "boss" is...
>D. Something else?

>A. Remember our... "trip" to Planet Plant? Oozaru training?

>A. Remember our... "trip" to Planet Plant? Oozaru training?

>A. Remember our... "trip" to Planet Plant? Oozaru training?
>D. Something else?

Aren't you time traveling right now? How come you can romp around in our timelines and engage in potentially planet-shattering combat and we can't?

This

>D. Something else?
Why not just put us under your bosses payroll?

Win-win for everyone! We already deal with Towa on a regular basis.

Doesn't Buula's race spoil our own future?

As soon as we see Buu we're going to be like 'FAT BUULA!"

>Letting Buu be released
Vegeta no

You rub the back of your neck nervously. "Yeah, uh... remember our 'trip' to Planet Plant? Oozaru training?"

Goku takes a moment, but then vividly seems to recall it. "Ohhh, right, with Daikon and Parsley!"

"What are you two talking about?" Vegeta barks. "Wait, was it more of that Pendulum whatever?"

"S-something like that!" you respond, giving an innocent smile. Your attention turns back to Buula. "Wait, if Time Travel is so dangerous, then why are you here? I can assume you're Time Traveling too, right? Why can you do it when we-"

"Sis, think for a moment." Acer tells you with an annoyed expression. "How else would you be able to stop people from Time Traveling?"

"Erasing the timeline." Buula informs you grimly. "I'm sure the two of you have heard of the 'Butterfly Effect.'"

"...the hell does time have to do with butterflies?" Vegeta grunts with annoyance in his voice.

"Small, subtle changes can have dramatic results. Flapping of a butterfly's wings can influence hurricane on another side of a globe." Buula explains. "It's more complicated than that, but apply that logic to changing the past."

Trunks and Bra seem to freeze up. "W-wait, but..."

"I know all of you had the best of intentions in going to the past." Buula continues. "But Towa certainly doesn't. She never has. As you two saw with Mira. My boss has encountered her many, many times before, in different timelines."

>A. Maybe your boss can hire us as help then! Enemy of our enemy!
>B. So, Gohan and Pantea's Time Machine "siphons fuel" from time? Mind explaining a bit more on that?
>C. ...what do you mean by "erasing the timeline?"
>D. Something else?
