Story 01: First day at Orange School

Main

Akazu leaves home for college at The Orange School in West City. Nanko gives him a capsule full of food to help him make friends.

When he gets to the main building, a very large car pulls up and Joviss gets out for a photo op of Zura starting her first day on her own at The Orange School. She tears herself away as quickly as possible. Akazu tried to make friends with her, as she is the first person he meets. They do hit it off pretty good, but he's also really awkward.

Akazu meets Pip and they become friends when Akazu shows off his "rooted to the ground" technique. Pip has apparently wrestled a tree out of the ground before.

Both of these new friends correctly surmised that he was one of the "tail people" from the World Martial Arts Tournament. When Zura sees even a little of his incredible abilities, she wants to know if he was one of the people who fought Zygote. She wants to know what happened. He gives a vague and traumatized response.

Akazu does a good job of introducing himself to plenty of people in his dorm by throwing a banquet with his mom's food. He can't make friends just like this, but now they know he's the grandson of some king and he's got good food.

Should I include anything else from this first day?

Story: 01, 02, 03

Concept:

Take the characters from the first game of dibs that we did, plus a little bit extra, and advance the timeline to the point where akazoo has entered college, and now we do all of the stuff that happened pre-boo.

New Characters (in order of appearance):

Zura - videll-like, but never wanted to learn martial arts and is an unknowing half demon, and decently tall.

Joviss - Hercule-like, basically the same guy but seen with clear eyes

Pip - if a goomba were a femboy on a wrestling scholarship with a crush on Akazu

Linden - Zura's longtime friend

Doozer - classic douchebag. Went on one date with Taro while she was pissed at her parents, but he tried to take things too far

Returning Characters (in order of importance):

Akazu

Taro

Momo

Nanko

Kaser

Bloom

Petal

Chamoy

Siggy - tween age child of caser and Bloom

Saky - Child of otapa and petal. 2 years old

Orca - once a bully, then a friend, and now a full-blooded gear in thanks to the balls

Gelata - came into all of this off screen after zygote, and has adjusted to life with them. That's gelato

Otopa - revived by the balls after he went through various trials in the afterlife and was given an opportunity to try again in times of Peace. Can you be called a nepo baby when it's your brother who is vouching for you?

Ruta

Vinzendt Neolander - Kaiba-like who developed "gamer ki" (aka heart of the cards) and unsuccessfully groomed Taro

Continuity notes:

This is primarily based on our first playthrough of dibs, but it takes on some of the things we came up with in subsequent playthroughs.

The whole Watt storyline hasn't begun yet.

Blutenkrieg (Underwater Naval Base)

Prev

Next

Main

Nucky and Bloom took off for safety. Petal, Otopa and Momo took a sub down to the underwater Dragonball. But the Blutenkrieg under General Blue are hot on their tail.

The radar leads them to a sea cave, where they encounter unusual traps near the entrance. Undeterred, our heroes progress and find a cove with pre-Capsule era high-tech pirate ships. A little further on, they find a whole town, but it's abandoned.

They start exploring the town, looking for the dragon Ball, but the eerie silence is broken by two things: the sound of the approaching soldiers, and the mechanical motions of a monstrous automaton hell-bent on their destruction. Momo tells them he'll stay back to fight these off while the others go after the ball.

Momo fought the pirate robot and the Blutenkrieg soldiers at the same time. Robot fought Momo and the soldiers at the same time, at the same time. Ultimately, Momo won, but the resulting explosion shot Nyōinbo into the cave ceiling so hard that it cracked, beginning a chain reaction of destruction.

Otopa and Petal in Ashtown

Prev

Next

Main

O&P went to Ashtown, where her research showed a single carrier plane and some soldiers terrorizing the place. When they got there, it was actually 6 planes and a hundred soldiers. Otopa went for it anyway, enduring guns and rockets, beating them and launching their bodies all over. At one point he managed a shotgun ki blast!

After the forces were neutralized, Otopa started destroying/disabling their planes and Petal asked then for Intel. One only gave it up after Otopa flicked his teeth into his throat one by one. Ashtown was supposed to be the bread basket for the Blutenkrieg, so they needed to secure it. He also told them that they took photos of the both of them to send to HQ (these would ultimately fail).

Petal also asked the villagers what happened and they explained that a whole back, a perfectly round stone fell out of the sky, and when the soldiers saw it they asked for reinforcements to find more of them.

Otopa was severely injured after this, but getting fed to completion by the villagers and having a few days rest basically put him back to normal. Petal had never seen this level of power from him, and especially never saw this kind of recovery from anyone.

Just as quickly as he healed, the feds were on their way to arrest the soldiers. But before they could arrive, Blutenkrieg reinforcements showed up. A squadron of fighter jets. Otopa took the air bike and met them midair. Epic showdown. Crashing himself into cockpits, letting one plane shoot another down. Ki blasting. Crashing his bike into the cockpit. He got exploded on and fell with the wreckage of the last plane, but he got them all.

Petal was distraught and teary, believing him dead, but he survived. There was about a week of cuddling before he recovered. The feds did show up and took the soldiers away. Then, it was time for us to go. Otopa to train with Roshin and Petal to West City. Her parents had finally realized she was gone by the time she showed up. Bloom was shocked by all this news.

It's pretty much the same as in the source material, so I'll list the important changes instead. Not everything happened the same way, but the consequential outcomes should be mostly the same, except as follows.

Pear made the wish on the Ryutama and is now the very proud owner of a lifetime supply of the world's best catnip.

Chamoy was ready and excited to take on every dojo in West City, but he got beat soundly 0-2 by the third ranking student at the very first one he went to. Bloom has been trying to encourage him but he's been sulking and we can already see where the cracks are going to form in their relationship. He is nothing if not stubborn though, so he's going to keep going back there in order to learn the fundamentals that the wolves couldn't teach him.

Otopa and Petal have been hanging out in the city together since the dragon, giving him the chance to learn some culture and society. It's basically been a series of dates that neither of them are calling dates. Petal is enjoying the sincere male attention, even if it's not romantic. Otopa has no concept of romance. They're just about to leave to seek out the Blutenkrieg, because Otopa wants to see how he stacks up against an army (especially the tanks), and Petal wants to interview some soldiers as a journalism project that will let her skip high school entirely and go straight to college.
