"Are you sure about this?" A very naked, sexy and distracting Asia asked Alex as she draped over the bed in a provocative manner, her legs splayed out in a way that only increased her natural seductiveness.
"Am I sure about what?" Alex asked back, while also wondering when exactly he'd lost his 'pure' and 'innocent' Asia.
The former nun pushed herself up with her elbows, strands of her blond hair falling in front of her face and breasts jiggling as she did so, before she clarified,
"About sending those two to find the Dragon Balls." Alex chuckled lightly at the question even as he played with the ass of the other woman laying next to him.
"Yeah, I'm sure. This could be a good opportunity for those two." The words were barely out of his mouth when the girl who's ass he was playing with spoke up,
"Is it true that you gave the Dragon Balls you created to Ophis?" When she heard that the naked form of one of Alex's favorite sex toys rose up, her bountiful breasts bouncing enticingly with her every move as she asked,
"Is that true? Is mine God the owner of thine's Dragon Balls master?" His eyes never leaving Tio's delicious looking nipples, Alex nodded as he said,
"Yep. I figured that since I'm away from Asora so often then I should give the Dragon Balls to someone who isn't, and that they would also need to either be equal to me or more powerful altogether. So naturally I decided to ask Ophis." The girls all looked intrigued when they heard that, while Alex was pretty sure that Tio was planning to go after the Dragon Balls next after the girls were done with them.
"And Ophis accepted?" Asia asked curiously, as she was one of the people closest to the dragon God due to her affinity with dragons in general.
"Yep, I was surprised as well. But Ophis said she wanted the chance to create her own dragon from scratch. Apparently she was growing more interested after meeting so many of my children..." Alex then shuddered from the look Ophis gave him when she said that, making him wonder if she'd been becoming interested in becoming a mother herself.
Alex then put the idea out of his head by turning his attention back to the plethora of naked beauties before him. Starting with one redhead in particular who currently had her ass in the air, with the cords of numerous toys sticking out of her plainly visible puckered hole, Alex purred as he caressed the cheeks of her presented rear,
"Are you ready Kokoa? I heard you were acting rather presumptuously earlier." The 'proud' and 'noble' vampire could only whimper in anticipation, before Alex began to brutally 'punish' her presented ass.
***
"Are you sure about this?" Videl parroted Asia unknowingly, as Myuu led the way with a magic compass in her hand, neither aware that they were doing exactly as Alex wanted.
Though Myuu was directing the compass to lead them to the other six Dragon Balls, both girls were surprised to see it lead them to a sub-space orb that had been built without either of them noticing in the pavilion.
"Since when was this here?" Videl asked curiously, to which Myuu replied after a moment of thinking,
"I remember asking papa if we could put more monsters on the island to train against, but he said it'd be too dangerous for anyone who just started training..." Though Videl didn't understand what Myuu was getting at, the Dagon recalled that her papa and his wives would use their own sub-space orbs to train with monsters that lived within them.
Growing even more excited by the second, Myuu readily placed her hand against the warm surface of the orb, vanishing within as she left Videl all alone.
"Wait! Don't leave me here alone!" Videl cried out, before she too placed her hand against the orb to be sucked within.
The next thing Videl knew, she was standing in the middle of yet another pavilion at the top of a great mountain, overlooking a great valley that was enshrouded in mist.
"Look at this Videl!" Myuu's voice suddenly cried out, tearing Videl away from the mystifying view to see several large paintings hanging on the pillars around them.
Each one depicted a different scene, a sweltering desert, dense jungles, frigid snowy plains, islands surrounded by blue oceans, towering cliffs that extended up past the clouds, endless plains of tall wavy grass, and treacherous looking swamps.
Larger than all of them though was a giant painting of a map, depicting each of the same habitats that were in the other painting, along with eight markers that were spread out amongst them. Curiously though, in the area that the girls deduced they were in, the marker next to it had a bright red flag on it.
"I think that's to say 'you are here'." Myuu suggested out loud, to which Videl could only nod in agreement since that seemed the most logical answer.
"I wonder what these paintings are for though?" Myuu added as she turned her attention back to them. Knowing her papa, there was a reason they were there instead of just being to look at.
When she tried touching the painting depicting the ocean though, Myuu was stunned as the image rippled at her touch.
"Woah!" She exclaimed while quickly retracting her hand, shock appearing on both her and Videl's faces.
"What was that?" Videl asked cautiously, while Myuu's smile was growing by the second.
"I think I know what those other markers are now!" Then, without explaining anything else, Myuu rushed directly into the painting of the beach, disappearing entirely while the painting itself rippled like a pool of water.
"Myuu!" Videl cried out in alarm, before bracing herself as she too dove into the painting, only to immediately feel pleasantly warm sand on her feet.
Looking around, Videl was in awe as the sound of seagulls crying filled her ears, accompanied by the crash of the waves. Then she was alerted by the sound of Myuu crying out in joy, as the other girl quickly stripped to her underwear before rushing into the surf.
"Come on Videl! The water is amazing!" She cried out joyously, her Dagon side rearing its head as she eagerly began diving to admire the coral reef a little ways off shore.
"Come back Myuu! That's dangerous!" Videl cried out, forgetting that Myuu was literally from a race that thrived in the ocean.
Naturally, her cries were ignored as Myuu continued enjoying the warm tropical water. Giving up after several minutes of yelling, Videl decided to explore the island she was on.
They had ended up within yet another pavilion with numerous paintings hanging from the pillars, except there wasn't a beach painting amongst them. Instead, there was a painting of a forested valley covered in fog, surrounded on all sides by towering mountains.
It didn't take a genius to figure out what the paintings were and how they worked, as they were obviously portals to the different areas within this sub-space, allowing those within it to travel to the different zones in an instant. As she was thinking about that though, Videl blinked before muttering to herself,
"Something must be wrong with me if even this doesn't faze me anymore..." She then thought back to when she first arrived at the Misty Manor, when Myuu had readily showed her all the 'impossible' things that she and her siblings were capable of doing.
"Videl!" Her reminiscing was then interrupted as Myuu called out her name, prompting Videl to look over to see the Dagon returning from the surf with an armload of various types of seafood, such as oysters, fish, and even a couple of crabs.
"Let's have lunch!" Myuu said as she dropped all of the gathered food onto the beach, before going to collect the materials needed for a fire.
...
A short while later, after Myuu showed Videl how to properly clean and prepare the food she caught, the duo were snacking as they discussed their game plan for collecting the rest of the Dragon Balls.
"I've already conformed there's one near here." Myuu said, surprising Videl as she asked,
"Really?!" Myuu nodded as she stood and walked over to the large map in the pavilion, and pointed to an area of the ocean near them that was shaded darker.
"It's in the bottom of this trench here, which I'm willing to bet is home any number of monsters that papa put in here." That made Videl cock her head in confusion as she asked,
"But, we haven't seen any monsters since we've been here?" Myuu however shook her head as she recalled,
"When I was diving before I saw a few moving out in the distance, but since I'm so small they didn't bother with me. However, when I dive to get the Dragon Ball it'll be a different story since I'll be moving into their territory." Though Myuu showed no hesitation at the idea of diving into the trench to collect the Dragon Ball, despite the sea monsters, Videl couldn't help but to feel uncertain about the whole situation.
Before she could voice her concerns though, Myuu readily strapped a pair of metallic bracers to her forearms and said,
"Wait here, I'll be back as soon as I can!"
"Wait!" Videl cried out to try and stop her, but it was too late as Myuu once again dove beneath the waves, this time not resurfacing as she swam out into the middle of the ocean.
This left Videl all alone on the beach, unable to follow Myuu since she couldn't dive or swim like she could.
Minutes trickled by as she waited, with trepidation filling her more and more with each passing minute that Myuu didn't return, until finally Videl leapt to her feet while crying out,
"AHHH! If I have to wait then I might as well do something!" She then began jogging through the sand around the island, intending to work her body to take her mind off Myuu's absence until she returned.
The island itself was about the size of a small lake, giving Videl plenty of space to work her body as she repeatedly lapped the trees clustered in the middle. Though the condition of her body HAD been improving due to Alex's ridiculous training regimens, Videl was till feeling the burn soon after due to the increased burden of running solely on sand.
After running ten laps, and barely being out of breath as she finished, Videl took a five minute breather as she once again watched the waves for Myuu. With no sign of the Dagon girl's emerald green hair appearing in the surf though, Videl moved on to the next segment as she skipped around the island ten times.
By the time she was finished with those laps, set sun had noticeably sank in the sky since Myuu departed, making Videl worry even more. Just as she started to curse Myuu's foolishness though,
"HEY!" Videl nearly jumped out of her skin as Myuu's voice called out begin her, making her whirl around to see the Dagon approaching her through the trees, covered in scrapes and nursing what appeared to be a broken arm.
"Are you ok!?! What happened?!" Videl cried out as she rushed to Myuu's side, only to have her concerns waved away as Myuu said,
"I'm fine, I already drank some gods water so everything's healing." As she said, now that Videl had a closer look, the numerous scrapes covering Myuu's body seemed to be rapidly closing. Her attention was then taken as Myuu held up a baseball sized golden orb with four red stars within it, and said with a cheeky smile,
"But I got it!" Videl's mind stalled slightly as she stared at the beautiful golden orb, before she turned back to Videl and demanded,
"What happened?! I was waiting for hours, and thought the worst had happened!" In the face of Videl's concern though, Myuu just chuckled awkwardly as she said,
"Well...I started out well enough, avoiding the sea monsters and all, until I actually found the Dragon Ball." Myuu then went on to tell Videl about how a monster crab had been guarding the ball, meaning she had a hard time fighting it due to its armored shell.
With it wildly swinging its large claws at her, Myuu had been lucky it only managed to hit her once. That was how she broke her arm, and obtained the numerous scrapes and cuts on her body as she impacted the sharp rocks. But as they began preparing another meal, this time with the numerous snacks and supplies Myuu had stored in her storage ring, the bone in her arm had completely reset and mended itself.
Looking up at the skies, Myuu said as they ate,
"I think we have time to find another Dragon Balls or two today if we hurry. They shouldn't be as hard to get as this one, and we only have a few days to find them all before morning."
With her saying that, Myuu quickly finished eating while the rest of her wounds healed, and got dressed before pulling out the magic compass and returning to the pavilion to study the map within. With the compass being able to give her much more than a simple direction, Myuu used the map in the pavilion to determine where the rest of the Dragon Balls were.
Eventually she clapped her hands loudly, and declared,
"Alright! Next we're going here!" As she said that Myuu pointed to an area on the map that was to be their next destination, the jungle.
Together this time, both Myuu and Videl the dove through the painting depicting the vibrant jungle, and the crashing of the waves was replaced by the numerous cries and sounds made by the animals around them. Again they were in a pavilion, but there didn't seem to be any concern of the animals and monsters coming close as Videl and Myuu quickly took in their surroundings.
"Ok, which way?" Videl asked after a moment, wanting to get this Dragon Ball and move on as quickly as possible. Myuu responded by holding up the compass and focusing her attention on the Dragon Ball closest to them, before saying,
"It's this way! But let's hurry because it's moving!" After saying that, Myuu then grabbed hold of Videl and took off into the air.
Though she had gotten used to flying with Alex after going too and from the island to train over the last several days, Videl was still somewhat scared as Myuu wove through the trees. She was glad to be flying though when they passed some of the creatures that called the jungle home, such as overly large pythons and Jaguars.
Following the compass, Myuu quickly honed in on the Dragon Ball even as it continued its slow trek through the jungle, until her and Videl came up it and gaped at the what they were seeing.
*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!*
With each step it took the ground rumbled, the trees shuddered as leaves fell from them, and anything that was around them fled. What Videl and Myuu were looking at, was a massive brown elephant, covered in thick layers of what appeared to be moss and other vegetation.
"There!" Myuu said as she located the Dragon Ball, nestled within the vegetation on the elephant's back.
Slowly, the duo approached the creature while trying not to startle or alarm it, but if it did notice them then it just ignored them as it continued its thunderous trek. Even when they landed upon its back, the elephant barely reacted as Myuu collected their third Dragon Ball.
"And, that's another one down!" She declared excitedly, not caring if the elephant heard them or not, even as it continued its slow journey through the jungle.
***
For the next day both Myuu and Videl traveled throughout the sub-space orb that her papa made for them, fighting monsters and collecting Dragon Balls as they went.
After finding the six star Dragon Ball in the jungle, the duo went on to collect the two star ball from the desert, the five star ball from the snowy plains, and then the three star ball from the rocky and mountainous region. In each location when they found the Dragon Balls they also found numerous monstrous animals and monsters that would typically hinder their progress, like the sand worms in the desert, the Arctic wolves in the tundra, and the flocks of giant Eagles in the rocky region.
Naturally Myuu did all the fighting, and thankfully the broken arm she got from the crab was the worst of the injuries she'd sustained during their adventure, and all she got after that were scratches and cuts. In fact, Videl began feeling more sorry for the animals as she watched Myuu fight them with the metallic weapons her bracers would change to.
And now, they were finally on their way to collect the final Dragon Ball, back in the misty forest region where they first arrived.
"Only one more left to go!" Myuu declared excitedly as they walked through the thick and misty forest, prompting Videl to ask her,
"So do you know what you're going to wish for Myuu?" The Dagon stopped when she heard that, before pivoting around to look at Videl and said with a wide smile,
"I'll wish for a strong ability, like a Devil Fruit power! I'll also want to become older to seduce papa! And maybe I'll wish to be able to use magic as well! Or maybe-"
"How many wishes do we get?" Videl suddenly cut her off, as she was growing increasingly worried that she wouldn't be able to wish back her dad like Myuu said.
Her worries were unfounded though, as Myuu readily said,
"I think we'll get three, like a genie. So I'll get two wishes, and you can have the last one to bring back your dad!" Relief flooded Videl that she'd still be able to make her wish, to which she then muttered,
"Finally..... I'll be able to see my dad again and get out here....away from 'him'." Videl was so relieved, that she didn't notice Myuu stop walking all of a sudden and accidentally crashed into her.
"Huh? What's wrong Myuu-"
*SMACK!*
The next thing Videl knew she was flying back and landed on the ground, the entire left side of her face throbbing in pain. Then, before she could figure out what had happened, Myuu was straddling Videl's stomach with her left hand cocked back, before it too impacted Videl's face with a tremendous force.
"STOP-"
*SMACK!*
"BADMOUTHING-"
*SMACK!*
"MY-"
*SMACK!*
"PAPA!"
*SMACK!*
Over and over Myuu slapped Videl in the face, holding back enough that she wasn't actually doing any damage, but it still hurt the relatively 'ordinary' girl quite a bit.
When she finally stopped Myuu's chest was heaving as tears streamed down her face, her expression contorted in anger as she said to Videl,
"I'm not strong..... I'm weaker than everyone else despite being papa's oldest... No matter how much I try I can't catch up...."
As Myuu ranted at her, Videl could only listen with tears from the pain she was feeling streaming down her face as well, before she continued,
"But then papa told me that someone was coming to stay with us, someone who lost their dad and who he wanted to help.... I was happy.... Finally there would be someone like me.... Someone who I could be friends with while we both worked to become stronger...."
As she trailed off Myuu began to sniffle slightly while guilt welled up within Videl, even before Myuu declared,
"But all you do is badmouth papa, no matter how much he tries to help you! All you want is to hurt and get away from him, like you're a prisoner instead of a guest! Even now, when you're about to see your dad again, you can't forgive papa! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!"
As she shouted at the top of her lungs, Myuu wound up to hit Videl once more, only to freeze at the last moment.
"..."
"What was that?" Myuu demanded since she didn't quite hear what Videl said between her own sobs.
"I-I'm sorry..." Videl sobbed out as she truly broke down crying.
"I'm so sorry...." She cried, even as Myuu got off of her and flopped down off to the side.
For several minutes neither of them said a thing, the only sound coming from them being the occasional sniffle from Myuu, and the sobs from Videl. When these too eventually began to die down, Videl muttered once again,
"I'm sorry..."
"You said that already.." Myuu replied without looking back at her, making Videl flinch before she said,
"It's true..... I've been a brat. Alex has tried to help me ever since we met, and I've done nothing but criticize and insult him..." Without saying anything, Myuu nodded in agreement as she had been the one who'd listened to Videl's griping the most since she arrived.
She'd put up with it until now due to her papa telling her to be nice to Videl, which Myuu understood. But now that they were so close to collecting the last of the Dragon Balls, and reviving Videl's dad, she didn't see why Videl should continue holding a grudge against her papa, especially since her own dad died due to his own actions to begin with.
With that in mind, Myuu had had enough.
As the awkward silence stretched after Videl's earlier admission, the human girl stood up and approached Myuu. Then, despite her severally swollen cheeks, Videl got down on her knees in front of Myuu, and said,
"I-I can't take back the things I've said and the way I've acted... But, do you think it's possible for us to start over as friends Myuu?" For a moment Myuu didn't say anything, instead narrowing her eyes at Videl as if she were studying her expression for falsehoods.
Just as Videl was about to begin thinking Myuu wouldn't forgive her, the Dagon stood up suddenly and said,
"Apologize to papa when we get back. Do that, and we'll always be friends!" Saying that, Myuu smiled widely as she offered a hand to Videl, making the other girl sigh in relief as she accepted the offered hand.
"Here." Myuu said once Videl was back on her feet, as she gave her one of her vials of gods water to splash on her face so the swelling would go down a bit, as the current Videl looked a little like a bright red chipmunk.
Having learned about the gods water from Myuu since they started looking for the Dragon Balls, Videl didn't waste any time rubbing it onto her cheeks before once again following Myuu's lead.
Soon the duo arrived at the location where the last Dragon Ball was, a massive cave that was covered in moss and vines. And while the cave appeared harmless enough, the rumbling they could hear from deep within said otherwise.
"What do you think is in there?" Videl asked Myuu warily, to which the Dagon said,
"I don't know, I haven't seen a lot of the monsters we've seen in this sub-space orb before. I think they might be creatures my papa used Alteration magic on to make more powerful, so it could be anything in there."
As Myuu said, there were numerous monsters that they'd seen in the orb that she had never heard of in her home world of Tortus, or even in Spira. But by the sound of the rumbling in the cave, which she thought was snoring, the thing sounded just as big as a behemoth.
Preparing herself for a fight, Myuu said to Videl,
"Wait here, and be ready to move out of the way if needed." Nodding slowly in affirmation, Videl hid behind a tree as she watched the entrance of the cave closely, while Myuu strolled right up to it.
For nearly a minute after she entered the cave nothing happened, until a roar rang out that shook the very air around her and made Videl's teeth clatter. Soon, there was a crash as the creature that had been within the cave came rushing out after Myuu as she tried to take some distance from it.
The creature was a massive bear looking thing, with longer legs than what bears usually had, and white runic patterns covering its chest to contrast its otherwise dark grey fur. As Myuu took flight to get away, its angry eyes focused entirely on her as it moved faster than something its size should have.
Watching the runebear following Myuu, Videl glanced towards the cave it had just come out of as a crazy and stupid idea popped into her head. Confirming once again that it's back was indeed towards her, Videl took off for the cave as fast as her legs could carry her.
"What the-!?" Videl uttered, as her body moved faster than she ever ran in her life, showing her the first results of the training Alex had been putting her through for the past several days.
Putting the sudden realization out of her head for the moment, Videl quickly rushed inside the cave to locate her prize. It didn't take long though, as a golden orb with seven stars on it was fairly easy to locate when the only other things in the cave were massive piles of poop and bones.
Quickly grabbing the orb as the smell of the runebear's dropping assaulted her, Videl swiftly fled from the cave to find Myuu still fighting the thing outside.
"Myuu! I got the Dragon Ball!" Videl cried out, letting Myuu know that they already had what they came for. Except the runebear also heard her.
"KYAAAAAA!" Videl screamed as the runebear changed its target, and crashed through the surrounding trees to get at her.
Videl sprinted as fast as her little legs could carry her through the trees, while the runebear crashed through anything in its path right behind her, quickly gaining on her despite its obstacles. Soon however Myuu appeared right beside Videl as she flew through the air, grabbing onto Videl's arms as tightly as she could and going upwards before the runebear could reach them.
"Go faster!" Videl shrieked even as Myuu broke through the tree line, right as the runebear leapt up and snapped at them, it's teeth missing Videl by the slightest of margins as it fell back down to the ground.
"Phew....." Myuu let out a sigh of relief as she soared higher into the sky, angling herself so that they were headed towards the pavilion where they first arrived in the sub-space.
"Finally, we have all seven..." Myuu panted the moment they touched down, before the two girls immediately hugged each other while crying out with a girlish squeal,
""WE DID IT!""
For several minutes the duo celebrated their success, not only for acquiring the last Dragon Ball, but for so narrowly escaping the runebear that had been guarding it. Soon however Myuu settled down, and looked her companion in the eye.
"Are you ready Videl?" Myuu asked her, to which Videl nodded while her hands clenched and unclenched nervously.
"Y-yeah, I'm ready." She said, anxious for what was about to happen next. She was about to revive her dad.
As she thought about seeing him again, Videl also recalled her mother, Miguel, and briefly wondered if the dragon would be able to bring them both back for her. There was only one way to find out, as Myuu removed the other six Dragon Balls from her storage, and placed them next to the seventh on the ground.
"Ok.....now what?" Myuu suddenly asked, to which Videl suddenly fell over in shock at the question.
"You mean you don't know how they work!?!" She then exclaimed at the Dagon, to which Myuu shrugged as she said,
"It's not I could ask papa how they work while spying on him you know." Videl just sighed as she tried to figure out how to actually activate the Dragon Balls, before suggesting,
"Maybe they need a password, like 'open sesame' or something? But what would it be...?" For a moment neither of the two girls said anything as they tried to think of possible passwords to activate the Dragon Balls, before Myuu said,
"Maybe it's something simple like 'come out dragon!' Just kid-" Though Myuu wasn't being serious, the moment those words left her mouth the Dragon Balls suddenly lit up with a brilliant light.
The two girls hurried back from the Dragon Balls as they began to glow brighter and brighter, while the sky grew darker and darker. And then, something erupted out of the Dragon Balls that quickly grew to an enormous size, extending out for miles and miles, while it grew to be as big around as a mountain.
When the light finally began to fade, the two girls were standing face-to-face with a massive snake.
Covered in black scales, and surrounded by an eerie red aura, the snake seemed to glare down at them before opening its serpentine mouth, and hissing,
"I, AM THE WISSSH GRANTING DRAGON, PHOSSSPHOR! SSSTATE YOUR WISSSH!"
As they stared up at the giant and ominous looking dragon, both Videl and Myuu had the same exact thought as they uttered in unison,
""Aren't you a snake?""
Immediately a tick mark appeared on Phosphor's head as he retorted,
"NO, I AM NOT A SSSNAKE! I AM A GREAT AND POWERFUL DRAGON! NOW HURRY AND MAKE YOUR WISSSH, SSSO I CAN RETURN TO MY SSSLUMBER!"
Again, in unison, Myuu and Videl glanced at each other from Phosphor's defensiveness, and thought in concert,
'He's definitely a snake...'
This time however they didn't say it out loud, as apparently such a topic was testy to the 'dragon', and instead Videl hurriedly asked,
"Can you bring back people that have died? Even if their soul has been shattered?" Videl's heart felt like it was going to burst as she asked her question, and even more so as she awaited Phosphor's answer, before the giant dragon answered,
"INDEED I CAN! ISSS THAT YOUR WISSSH?"
With relief flooding her, Videl was about to answer that it was before Myuu immediately cut her off, and asked instead,
"How many wishes can we have?" Videl paled as she realized that they didn't even confirm how many wishes they could make, which was something they would HAVE to do before wishing for anything though. However, the answer they got was something that neither girl expected.
"ONE WISSSH PER SSSUMMONING! THOSSSE ARE THE RULESSS!"
The duo felt their hearts sinking as they realized that Phosphor was completely unlike a genie, as he only granted one wish altogether instead of three, or even one per person.
With her heart sinking even further at the realization that she might not be able to revive her parents, Videl was startled as Myuu suddenly said,
"You use the wish Videl."
"Huh?" Videl uttered as she turned towards Myuu, who smiled at her as she said,
"I told you to use the wish! I can wait, but you really want to see your dad again, right?" In the face of Myuu's selfless offer, and her radiant smile, Videl could only sniffle as she felt tears running down her cheeks.
"Th-thank y-you Myuu! I-I know I don't deserve this..." As she said that Videl recalled everything Myuu smacked into her earlier, about her bad attitude, and the way she'd been behaving towards Alex ever since she met him. And despite all of that, now Myuu was giving her her wish instead of asking for one of the any number of things she herself so desperately wanted.
In the face of Videl's gratitude, Myuu just grabbed her by the shoulders and said,
"It's ok Videl! Just promise me we'll still be friends when you go back with your dad, ok?" Videl readily nodded as she pulled Myuu in for a tight hug, and stated,
"Of course! You'll always be my friend!" Myuu then happily returned Videl's hug as the two reaffirmed their friendship, before the voice of Phosphor asked from above,
"SSSO ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE A WISSSH, OR NOT?"
Jumping apart at the voice, both Videl and Myuu laughed awkwardly as the former stepped forward to state her wish.
"I wish-" Videl began as she clearly pictured both her mother and her father in her mind, but, when she opened her mouth, no sound came out.
"YOU WISSSH..." Phosphor repeated for her, trying to get Videl to spit out what she wanted.
Shaking herself off somewhat, Videl then began again,
"I wish-" But again, nothing came out after that.
Instead, Videl suddenly heard Alex's voice in her head as she recalled one of the lessons Alex gave in the last few days.
...
"There are no true shortcuts in life, no matter how much it seems otherwise. Even if you suddenly became the most powerful person in the entire universe, you would be unable to properly wield that power due to the fact that you never trained to that extent before. You would most likely then have to take the same amount of time training to use your strength as it would've taken for you to develop it naturally.
"Not only that, but you would then never truly be able to appreciate your abilities since you never properly 'earned' them. Instead, you would only feel empty inside due to never being able to feel the gratification of overcoming your own limits, and finally taking what it is you so desperately want with your own hands. Though it may seem pointless now, when you look back ten years from now, you'll be grateful for the struggle you went to eventually get there."
...
Alex had told her all that when Videl asked if there was a way to become stronger faster, as well as being able to master using energy since she was still struggling.
'But this and that two completely different things!' Videl angrily chastised herself in her head, even shaking it as she tried to clear her thoughts. Ignoring the looks both Myuu and Phosphor were giving her, Videl looked back up at the great dragon and said,
"I wish...... I wish..... I........" Faltering again and again at saying what she wanted to the dragon, Videl shocked Myuu as she fell to her knees and said,
"I-I can't do it...." Rushing to her friend's side, Myuu asked her,
"What can't you do Videl?" Myuu was then even more shocked when Videl looked at her with tears running down her face, and said,
"I can't take your wish Myuu..... I didn't earn it...."
Though she had gone into the cave and retrieved the final Dragon Ball, Videl hadn't actually helped Myuu at all in finding the other five. Instead, she'd been left behind at a safe place while Myuu charged headfirst into whatever danger there was to retrieve the desired orb.
"You fought so hard for these Dragon Balls, and all I did was watch..." Videl said to her while holding back her tears, until Myuu pulled her into a hug and asked,
"Are you sure? This is your chance to bring back your dad." Even as Myuu told her that though, Videl fought down the urge to accept them as she said,
"I'm sure. When I'm strong enough, I'll gather the Dragon Balls myself and make my wish. I'll wait until I can do so with my own strength!"
As she said that, the girls gave each other one last squeeze, before Myuu stood up and faced Phosphor herself.
"ARE YOU FINALLY GOING TO MAKE A WISSSH?"
Phosphor asked irritably from being made to wait for so long, to which Myuu nodded her head as she said,
"I am! I wish-"
***
"I wonder where they are..." Alex muttered to himself as he waited for Myuu and Videl to arrive on the island used for his children's training.
With Myuu's abilities he figured they should have already gathered the rest of the Dragon Balls, and made their wish. When he thought about the detail of each summoning only getting one wish though, Alex uttered,
"I hope they aren't fighting over who gets the wish..." Though it seemed like a decent idea at the time, since he didn't want people trying to abuse these Dragon Balls, in hindsight it might not have been a good idea to send the two girls to gather them when only one could use the wish.
"I'm sure they're fine." Yuna said to Alex as she embraced him from behind, the rest of the girls having already gone on ahead to start their day.
Trading a gentle kiss with her, Alex was about to stand to go and get the girls himself since they had school, when they suddenly appeared from the sub-space orb he'd left on the island.
"There you guys are-!" Alex began, before pausing as he noticed something VERY different about the two girls.
"Papa!" Myuu cried out as she eagerly rushed forward to hug him, though Alex and Yuna were both focused on something else entirely.
"What's this then?" Alex asked her while playing dumb, as he pointed to the fur covered monkey's tail that now extended from both Myuu and Videl's backsides.
"I made a wish on the Dragon Balls!" Myuu stated excitedly, before turning around and sticking her butt out at him so Alex could get a better look.
"I see that..." Alex said, completely forgetting that he was supposed to pretend to be 'mad' at Myuu for 'stealing' the Dragon Ball he had.
Surprising him even more was that Videl had stayed rooted in place ever since she and Myuu arrived, instead of the usual attitude she'd shown him since arriving. She was currently dragging the tip of her foot through the dirt at her feet, while her own newly acquired tail twitched nervously behind her.
Then, before he got a chance to ask what was wrong, Myuu quickly ran up to Videl, and shoved her forward at him with enough force that Videl practically ended up in Alex's lap. Catching her in order to prevent an 'accident', Alex asked her,
"Are you ok?" What happened next shocked him as Videl quickly got to her feet with a bright red face, and said,
"Y-yeah..... And.....I'm-" What Videl said next was mumbled low enough that not even Alex could hear it through his 'Domain', making him ask,
"What was that?" Turning even redder, Videl hesitated until Myuu poked her in the ribs, finally getting her to say,
"I'm sorry, for how I've been acting until now..." Needless to say, Alex was more than a little surprised at Videl's sudden apology, which made Myuu smirk proudly when she saw his reaction.
Placing a hand on the top of Videl's head, making her twitch at the contact, Alex then said to her gently,
"Don't worry about it. I never held your attitude against you since it was pretty justified. However, I'll be glad if things can improve between us from now on." As he said that, Alex ruffled Videl's hair slightly while both Yuna and Myuu watched on with a little bit jealousy in their eyes.
A second later however he removed his hand from her head, and said,
"Alright then! It's morning outside now, so that means the two of you need to get ready for school, and we'll have to fix your uniforms so they can accommodate your new tails now too." As he said that, Alex glanced back at both Videl and Myuu's tails curiously, while also noting that both seemed to have powered up a fair bit after being turned into Saiyans.
Thankfully though Myuu still had her webbed fingers and finned ears, meaning she didn't completely turn into a Saiyan, and Remia wouldn't try and kill him later for it.
