Dragon Ball: Saga Of The Strongest Human 18 I Wish For...

"Hmm?", wondered Darc and looked at the nimbus. It started circling around at the same alt.i.tude and stopped again. "Can't go up anymore? Well, it's alright little guy." He patted the nimbus and started to fly himself.

"See ya later, Nimbus.", he said to the cloud and charged off upwards on his own.

It didn't really take long and he saw the underside of the lookout.

Flying past it and landing on the top side he started inspecting the things that were here. It was by a lot larger than Korin's tower and some plants were placed neatly around the platform. And some others in straight lines in front of a building that stood erect on the opposite side of the platform where he was standing right now.

He closed his eyes to feel any presence up here and he picked something up. The energy was pretty strong actually but because he wasn't that good in differentiating the difference in power he couldn't tell how strong the presence was. There really weren't many people at all he could feel a presence from so he had not that many references

But judging the power it was pretty similar to his teacher. Probably a little stronger since the person here is calm right now and doesn't seem to have charged up his energy. He wondered if it was Kami? But still, wasn't this kinda on the weak side? He felt he had more energy than the person. He shook his head confusedly and shrugged once.

He thought it also strange that he also only picked up one presence but no second. There should be two?

He held his head high, placed his hands against his mouth to amp his voice and started shouting. "Hey!!!~ Anyone home!!?~" He didn't want to go inside the building. It was like breaking into someone's house and that felt wrong.

Darc stayed where he was and waited, tapping his foot on the ground while doing so.

"Well, h.e.l.lo there." a voice behind him said.

Darc jumped up in surprise and looked back. The one he saw behind him was Mr. Popo. Darc sighed out in relief. "Scaring me like that..." Darc looked Mr. Popo up and down. "Are you G.o.d(Kami)? d.a.m.n, seems like when one becomes a G.o.d you feel like a corpse. I couldn't sense you at all." Darc said still complaining about the scare he got.

He genuinely could not feel Mr. Popo´s presence and that made him wonder how this guy does it? He is strong but why does he feel like as if he doesn't exist?

Mr. Popo smiled at him and it let Darc´s mouth twitch. That was kinda creepy. "You can´t feel me because I am one with nature. And I am not Kami. I am Mr. Popo", he answered to Darc.

Darc didn't bother to deny it. He guessed once ones ki control reached a high level there would be no leakage of said energies. "I guess its true. My name is Darc. Then is the one that is coming over to us Kami?", Darc remarked and looked back at the building where a green-skinned old man was coming from and slowly approaching them. He wore a white robe and, who would have thought, had a wooden cane.

It was the nameless Namekian that later would become Piccolo. Right now he calls himself Kami.

"Yes, that is him", Mr.Popo answered and went to the side of Kami when he reached here.

Kami looked down at Darc because Kami was pretty tall and Darc still missed some inches. "h.e.l.lo, my boy. I heard your words. My name is Kami and I am indeed the guardian of this earth." , he said while smiling. "I also know why you are here. It's impressive to have collected the dragon b.a.l.l.s with your age. I will give you the last dragon ball but only after you tell me what you want to do with them. I do not want harm to befall the earth with an unwise wish from someone. After all, I am the creator of those beads and need to take responsibility."

Darc heard him out and smiled at him back. "Sure, if that is all I need to do to get my wish granted, why not? It's pretty simple. I want to get stronger but here on earth I am not gonna become stronger. I plan to wish myself onto a planet where I can learn the best martial arts.", gave Darc as an answer.

Kami had a complicated look on his face. "You would abandon your family and friends just to pursue strength?", he asked solemnly.

Darc waved with one of his hands. "Don't worry, I don't plan to stay there forever. I know for a certain fact that aliens already visited our planet many times. You should know about that as well since you are a G.o.d, right? Or should I properly address you as an alien yourself?" He grinned brightly after saying those words.

Kami was now surprised and even Mr. Popo was showing a surprised reaction but the second remained pretty silent. Only Kami continued. "That...how do you know that?"

"I once saw a weird pod land in some mountain region. There was nothing inside but from that day onward I knew there had to be life outside this planet. And you look like you are not from this planet. Our planet does have many races but most are humans, anthropomorphic animals or dinosaurs. You don't look like any of them. Well, I could have been wrong but you in the end just proved my thinking.", Darc explained while completely lying as good as possible.

Kami listened to him and calmed down. It seemed he took that lie on a silver platter. After all, he himself gave himself away. "I see, child. But wis.h.i.+ng for something like that really is highly risky."

Darc nodded to that. "I know, but I will have to do it. Technology outside of earth seems way ahead of ours so I shouldn't have problems coming back..."

Kami only sighed. He hesitated to send a promising protector of the earth to go into his demise. Especially such a young lad. Let's hope that no harm befalls this child. "Alright, here is the last Dragonball for you.", he stated and reached out the last ball to him.

Darc nodded, grabbed Kami´s hand where the Dragonball was with his own two hands and bowed.

He remained silent for a while and Kami thought it was his way of saying thanks. And shortly after it proved right because Darc said thank you.

Then Darc placed all the Dragonb.a.l.l.s together on the ground and started the chant after raising his hands upwards.

"Come forth, Shenron! And grant me my wis.h.!.+", Darc shouted out.

The wish beads started to glow and it became dark all over the earth. With a lightning zap, the mighty dragon Shenron charged out of the beads, coiled around in the air and slowly materialized with a roar.

It began with its head and traveled to its body. The red eyes stared at Darc with an imposing majestic aura and the green lush scales glimmered in the dark sky like beautiful emeralds. Its two whiskers moving in a rhythmical manner. Truly, the earth dragon looked the best.

The dragon Shenron slowly moved its mouth up and down and a deep voice filled the air.

"Now, state your wish. I shall grant any wish you have" the dragon stated.

"Alright.", Darc breathed deeply in and out, preparing himself. "Shenron! Please transfer me to Planet Namek were Porunga lives!"

At those words, Kami became instantly shocked and pale. This kid actually knew about planet Namek? What is going on?

"You! How do you know about that!? Are you.....", he shouted and wanted to find out what this was all about but Shenron interrupted him pretty fast "It shall be granted.", said Shenron and his eyes glowed. Soon after Darc vanished from Kami´s lookout.

Kami only looked at the empty s.p.a.ce where Darc stood. He had his mouth wide apart. He started sweating. Did this kid plan out everything to this point? Did he lie to him? Well, not entirely but he sure added some spice to the meal.

Kami actually got worried and couldn't sort his thoughts.

"I shall excuse myself now.", gave Shenron from himself and started to vanish. All the Dragonball started spinning in the air and scattered once again over the earth.

Darc stood still and blinked his eyes. He looked around himself and saw a greenish sky and a pretty scarce vegetation.

The ground was normal but the gra.s.s here was blue in color and the water was just as green as the sky above. Just a darker shade of green.

Darc grinned brightly. ´It worked´, he thought.

He was on Namek. Now to the next step...

He took out a round object and pushed the b.u.t.ton and soon a beeping sound gave him a signal. It picked up the Dragonb.a.l.l.s on Namek. Darc actually started to chuckle but coughed afterward.

Then he scratched his head. He could sense a lot of energies around him so he wasn't troubled to know where the villages are but the question is how does he approach them and not get killed?

He shook his head. It should be alright. These Namekians should be really peaceful as long as he didn't do anything stupid.

The language barrier is also not that hard to solve. Korin and Kami had a certain technique to read minds. Even Goku learned it.

And since reading minds is a useful technique, Darc also learned it on his own way back when he was still in his town. Its all about guiding ones ki in one's mind and connecting to people. Weirdly enough Kami didn't seem to notice him reading his mind.

He already tried it out. So he knew it would work. All he needed to do was touch someone and concentrate to get the required information from the mind of the subject. Just like that he got Kami´s knowledge about the Namekian tongue.

He could also already speak monkey.....Don't bother asking. He kinda thought understanding bubbles later would be neat so he learned the monkey language from earth. If that actually will help in anything? He kinda doubts it.
