It's not about devising the most overly-complicated kill method known to the PPC. The more outlandish you make it, the less likely it can (realistically) work, and the more Sueish your agents get.
And you still haven't addressed the question of non-canon, cross-canon contamination.
So, I've had this on my mind for a while: why is there only one Dragonball Z fic that we've sporked so far? Knowing that a Sue in that continuum would be extremely hard to kill, I figured out a method that should be able to take down ki users.
After checking the wiki, I found that ki is basically life energy: the stronger a being's lifeforce, the stronger its ki manipulation. But what if that life energy was taken away? With less energy, a ki user would logically become less powerful. But how to do such a thing?
Introducing the Scepter of Life Draining and Sanguinite, both from the Minecraft continuum as mods (Twilight Forest and Metallurgy, respectively.) Using the former and weapons made from the latter, Dragonball Z Sues should be taken down with substantially less risk.
Next, I remembered my days of playing D&D, particularly every adventurer's nightmare, the rust monster. Then it hit me: the touch of a rust monster's antennae causes any metal to corrode into uselessness in a matter of seconds, and stats do exist for weapons made from these parts. Using such devices, Sues capable of metalbending, as well as mechanical ones, could be taken down more easily-particularly that Golden Freddy replacement I reported (Considering that Hasbro owns the rights to D&D, it makes sense for it to be there as well!)
And lastly, I'm a big fan of the Prehistoric Park franchise-a TV series that lasted for one season that starred wildlife expert Nigel Marven going back in time to capture prehistoric animals and bring them to the present, rescuing them from extinction in his zoo, Prehistoric Park. While it has a relatively small fandom, badfic does exist of it, mainly fanmade extra seasons. But the problem here is the creatures: what do we do with them? Personally, I think that the DMFF would be a good home for them. Anyone agree?
Our just push the Sue through a portal into the heart of a volcano?
If you want to kill a Saiyan, just point it at Freeza. He'll get rid of your monkey problem very quickly.
That would be pretty sweet, now that you mention it.
... either call in the All-Purpose Department or the ESAS.
"So, I've had this on my mind for a while: why is there only one Dragonball Z fic that we've sporked so far?"
Well, if someone's not interested in sporking a certain continuum, there just won't be many missions. Simple as that.
"Knowing that a Sue in that continuum would be extremely hard to kill, I figured out a method that should be able to take down ki users."
Now, I'm not a DBZ fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't think the killing process would be any different for all the other Sues. The agents don't win by overpowering their targets, they do it by devising clever, canonical kill methods, which brings me to my next point.
"Introducing the Scepter of Life Draining and Sanguinite, both from the Minecraft continuum as mods (Twilight Forest and Metallurgy, respectively.) Using the former and weapons made from the latter, Dragonball Z Sues should be taken down with substantially less risk."
So... now you want to introduce cross-canon contamination? And non-canon cross-canon items at that?
Using extra-canons methods can be allowed if it's ironically appropriated, or if the canon is really broken, but the Flowers would ask explanations for this, and your agents will pay the price for this. Besides, if you want to kill DBZ Suvians, just drop them on a planet on the verge of destruction, I don't think glitterbags can survive a planet-shattering kaboom, or deep space for that matter.
Now, it might work for a Minecraft setting, and there could be laughs at the agents trying to keep the Suvian entity in the trap long enough for the life drain effect to proc. However, a DBZ mission is no place for that, because it's not canon to the setting. The point is limiting the damage to the continua we work in, not do more by bringing in random gubbins from an assortment of different universes.
