"Talking"
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'll never get over how cramped these ships are," Fubuki sighed, staring out the window as she and Gray started to approach the Planet Mam.
"I told you last time," Gray smirked lightly as the woman sat in his lap, looking rather comfortable as she leaned into his large, muscular chest, "You could've shared with Asia or Celia, and you would've had more room."
"I-I was being thoughtful for Zombieman!" Fubuki justified, her blushing face betraying her words, "He's a tall guy, a-and he's my superior as an S-Class hero, so I was just giving him more options!"
"The same Zombieman who said he'd share with Bang?" Gray teased lightly. The newest addition to their little planet-conquering squad was understandably a bit distrusting of Gray and the other Saiyans, so he'd wanted to share with either Fubuki or Bang.
Obviously, Gray had quickly made the decision for him to share with Bang, as-
My sexy gravity chamber is for personal use only-
Meaning Celia was now sharing with Asia, while Bang and Zombieman took her Saiyan pod.
"I-I was being nice and leaving the option open for him," Fubuki huffed, blushing again. Gray just grinned, letting her off the hook as the planet grew bigger.
"I… I can't believe I'm on this mission either," Fubuki muttered, looking a tad bit nervous at the orange-black surface of Mam, "This is something Sister should be doing… not me."
Right, she's got an inferiority complex towards her S-Class older sister.
"You're doing fine," Gray said comfortingly.
"I'm sitting back and watching, and trying not to die," Fubuki shot back dryly, shifting slightly nervously in Gray's lap as she leaned forward and looked out the window, "Even that's difficult. I couldn't even keep track of what was happening when you were fighting Homeless Emperor…"
"That's all you need to do," Gray hummed, grinning as he casually wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her back into his chest, "I'll protect you, alright? If you're feeling useless, just remember you're the only reason your race is even alive right now."
Harro had mainly been spared by Gray because he needed strong allies, but he had only considered making the heroes allies after discovering that Fubuki was both able to control gravity and hot as hell.
She's the main reason. The heroes are decent, but I'll still need more allies to take on Frieza. I'll need to search some more after this mission. It'd be nice if I could get a quest for something involving gaining allies.
Gray blinked as a notification suddenly appeared in front of him as his pod entered Mam's atmosphere and started to be surrounded by fire.

Failure:
A much harder journey!
Where the hell was this quest before?! I've been trying to get allies since I kicked Raditz's ass on Earth! Those will count toward the quest, right? Is asking for a quest all I gotta do, damn game?!
Gray was a bit pissed the allies he'd gathered until now - which, admittedly, was really only his squad, maybe Shizuka and the Z-Fighters counted, the Yardratians, and the three heroes with his squad on the mission - might not count towards the quest since it appeared after he gathered them, but he couldn't be too mad.
This quest is OP as hell! Finally being nice to me, huh, Nightmare Mode?
If the quest counted the Yardratians, or if Gray was able to ally himself with another entire planet, then he'd get an insane amount of points. The Yardratian population was at least in the tens of thousands, so he'd get tens of thousands of points for having them as allies.
The perk and skill token rewards are nice too.
Gray was even more inclined to find strong allies now, even if they weren't hot women - who were the usual suspects he spared.
"Y-You're right, I guess," Fubuki said from his lap, drawing Gray out of his thoughts about the quest.
+400 Reputation with Fubuki (For making her feel better) [4x from [Ladies Man], [A Humble Master]]
Gray grinned lightly at the notification, just nodding and not saying anything more as she blushed lightly. The Saiyan Pod continued to stream down toward the surface of Mam and slammed down in a large crater a few moments later.
As Gray stepped out of the Saiyan Pod, he glanced around at the rather normal-looking city around him. The ship had crashed down in the middle of the street, just like how it did on Harro, but the city itself was much less developed-looking. Instead of towering skyscrapers and buildings, there were much shorter wooden buildings sitting around him. The street the pod landed on was unpaved, and dust was in the air.
Overall, Gray felt like he'd been teleported back a couple of hundred years. It was almost as if he were in a midwestern movie.
His squad's ships slammed into the planet around him, and they quickly grouped up again. The entire city seemed empty, but Gray could sense a group of energy signatures far in front of him.
Why is there even an entire city if there aren't that many residents?
The city wasn't massive, but it looked like there were at least tens of thousands of houses. Despite that, Gray could only make out a couple of dozen energy signatures on the entire planet.
"How long until the moon's overhead?" Gray asked casually as he looked at the group of energy signatures, one of which looked to be rather impressive.
If he's not the boss, then we're actually in trouble on this planet.
Gray estimated one of the signatures was at least Homeless Emperor's size, possibly even higher, which was actually a bit concerning if anything. Homeless Emperor had an extreme amount of Ki, an amount much higher than his power level, because he was a Ki-based fighter. This monster was probably a martial artist, meaning his power level could actually be close to Gray's.
One of those might even be higher than mine. Hell, it looks like it could be higher than even Caulifla's.
"...At least half an hour," Celia responded after glancing into the sky for a moment, "Maybe 45 minutes."
I should learn how to do that. If she's ever not around, I'll be in trouble.
"I take it there's a bunch of heroes here, and I can't just blow up the city?" Gray assumed as he glanced at Fubuki, who nodded.
"There are no S-Class heroes, but a lot of lower-class heroes and civilian martial artists came here," She explained, "It would be appreciated if you didn't kill them all in a big explosion."
"Yeah, yeah," Gray sighed, stretching his arm as he looked back at the group of energy signatures, "I'll just go kick their asses."
"One of my students is here as well," Bang spoke up, looking at Gray, "After learning that there's a way the monsters are turning humans into monsters, I can't be sure if he'll look as he once did. Allow me to look for him before you kill the monsters, if you would."
"Sure," Gray agreed with a shrug, tensing his legs as he narrowed his eyes at the group, "Just don't take too long, alright?"
He burst into the air before Bang could answer, blasting toward the group of energy signatures as he sensed his group start to follow behind him. It only took him a minute to arrive at the building the group of power levels was in, which looked like an old wooden stadium.
The structure was only a couple of dozen feet tall all around, and there was a large rectangular dirt arena in the middle. The seats looked like they had been carved out of a single piece of wood, stretching upwards in a circle around the dirt rectangle. In the middle, there was a collection of tall human-like monsters.
Their bodies were human-shaped, with a torso, head, and four limbs, but they had very obviously monster-like features. One had red scale-like skin with sharp teeth, two horns sticking out of his head, and a bunch of sharp spikes sticking out from his body. Another was rather huge, with four eyes and dark muscular skin, along with horns sticking out of his head as well.
In total, there looked to be nearly two dozen monster-like beings in the arena, but only a couple of them were actually notable to Gray.
"Just eat it!" The first notable one, the red-scaled figure, shouted as Gray floated overhead. He was standing over a pretty normal-looking man who was wearing a white martial-arts Gi and had a large frame. The monster was holding a black ball in his hand, shoving it toward the kneeling, bruised and bloodied man.

[Sadistic] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally sadistic, enjoying inflicting pain on others.
What the hell is up with that title? Also, another Ki user?
Gray wasn't sure if Renzo was mistaken when he said there were magic users in the Planet Coalition, or if he just hadn't met any of them yet. So far, everyone had used Ki, and no one had used MP.
And, 'Monster Form?' So, he's not normally a monster?
Gray didn't even have a chance to observe the normal human-looking man on the ground, though his Ki pool was pitifully small, as the man grabbed the black ball and nervously put it into his mouth. A second later, he hunched over, letting out a scream of pain as blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth. He twitched and clutched at his stomach for a moment, and then fell over onto his stomach and didn't move again.
"Another failure," The taller, much more powerful, dark-skinned and muscular monster spoke, his four eyes staring down harshly at the corpse.
He seems decent. Observe.

[Monster Association Executive]
Age: 34

[Greedy] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally greedy, constantly desiring more wealth and power.
He's almost as strong as I am.
That was excluding all the available points Gray had, which he was just hoarding to maximize his stat gains from fighting opponents closer to his level, but it was still more impressive than any other monster he had seen.
Also, 'Monster Association Executive?' Sounds like they're ripping off the Hero Association.
"There's no point in trying to convert those with no potential," The final monster of interest spoke, belonging to a monster standing a few feet away from the rest of the group. He was even taller than the roughly 10-foot-tall Gouketsu, looking closer to 15 feet in height. He was muscular, but leaner than the other bulkier monsters, definitely fitting the image of a martial artist.
His skin was a tan, and he could've passed for a normal human if not for the spikey helmet of horns sticking up from his head.
[Talented] Suiryu (Monster Form):
[Void Fist Martial Artist]
Age: 23
PL: 12.72 Billion
HP: 5,727,175/5,727,175
TKI: 4,128,220/4,128,220
TMP: 0
Reputation: 0/100 (Neutral)
[Talented] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally talented, having the ability to gain power with minimal effort.
He's fuckin' strong. If I dumped all my points right now, I'd still be a lot stronger, but it seems like the difficulty is finally ramping up.
Gray couldn't help but let his lips twitch up into an excited grin, his heart starting to beat at finally seeing a powerful opponent. Even as he took in the sight around the man, his grin didn't drop.
Well, I know why the city is so big and there are so few people now.
To the side of the now-dead man who'd eaten the black ball, there looked to be close to fifty equally as dead men. There were small pools of blood around them, and Gray didn't need to be a genius to assume what had happened.
"There's no harm in trying," Gouketsu responded calmly, "Even if they are weak, once we get back to Monas and feed them the-"
"Woah! These guys look tough!" The monster was cut off as Caulifla unsubtly caught up to Gray, shouting down at the group of monsters with an excited grin, "I get all of them, Gray!"
"We have eavsedroppers," Gouketsu chuckled as the group of monsters turned to look at their flying forms.
"You get that one," Gray shot back bluntly, continuing as Caulifla opened up her mouth to argue, "You'll need to take him seriously. He's almost as strong as you, and he'll have some powerful techniques."
Let's hope she remembers my training.
Gouketsu was still over 3 billion power level short of Caulifla, but if he was an actually good martial artist then the woman could struggle. She was a lot smarter of a fighter after training with Gray, but from the short time he had with her, he didn't know if he'd even consider her a 'good fighter' yet.
"That one's mine," Gray grinned excitedly, locking eyes with Suiryu.
I can use my points if I really need to, but I'll try not to. After all, I just need to stick with him for…
"30 minutes," Gray shouted down to the monster, who looked almost bored as he looked back up at Gray - a stark comparison to the excited grin and eager, hungry eyes Gray was sporting.
"If you can't kill me in 30 minutes, then you'll all die."
