Shortly after he made his mind Darc flew back to the grand elders home. With the enhanced strength, the flight was so much easier now and by far faster.

After arriving and landing there he saw Nail standing guard as always. Sometimes Darc wondered how this guy can just stand there and do nothing else. Well, they did get their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. So Namekians are pretty much plants?

"Yo, how are you holding up, Nail?", asked Darc after coming closer. "Looks like you are taking a break from training?"

Nail looked at him and smiled. It looked like in these two weeks Nail had a 180-degree change of personality towards him.

"Hey, Darc. I just meditated a second ago but felt you coming over so I stopped.", Nail answered.

"So you are making progress. I still can sense a lot of your energy gushing out from you but its lower than when we first met.", Darc noticed after eyeing him up.

Somewhere around the first week, Darc came over from time to time to test his strength and doing some spars with Nail. It was not to beat up Nail but to get a feel for his fighting sense back now that he a lot more power. He wasn't a bully after all. And it definitely didn't have anything to do with boredom.

Nail also didn't draw the short stick out of this relationship since Darc taught him some basic arts like how to control and feel ki and after that how to suppress ki or vice-versa to increase it over his limit for a short time.

He also taught him some basic martial arts since Nail actually didn't really had that much prowess in them and mostly knew some energy techniques and everything else was kinda brute force attacks.

So all in all while testing out his powers he ended up teaching Nail. And Nail in return absorbed the teachings pretty quickly and improved by leaps and bounds. He was now already twice as strong as before.

Nail had a lot of potential in himself as well but when Darc mentioned that he would always say its because he was born a warrior.

"And I do know for a certain fact that you are about twice as strong now.", Darc added to compliment his improvement again.

Nail smiled and laughed a little. "Its all thanks to your teachings. I wouldn't have known otherwise. Your martial arts from Earth are really something. They do not base on pure power but on technique. At the same time, they give so much power over time as a reward for the effort one puts into them. I do see now why you would have such an increase after grand elder unlocked your potential"

Darc chuckled awkwardly. He heard these compliments a lot nowadays and it made him kinda blush a little. He didn't think that his understanding of the arts was that great. Maybe he should compare with some other martial artists when he comes back home. Just even if for comparing notes only.

"Well, look at you going on and making such statements as if you were the only one learning. I also took your techniques in return after all.", Darc said while scratching his head in embarra.s.sment. He wondered if teacher Zarid felt like this?

Nail nodded at his answer. "Sure, the few techniques I had. But most of them you learned are magic techniques and the one teaching them to you was Moori. I was amazed that someone else besides our dragon clan can utilize magic. If I had to learn them I would never succeed."

"Well, there are other beings that can use magic. But I neither thought that I would be able to use magic.", Darc said while placing one hand to his chin and thinking about it "And it was just out of curiosity. I saw Moori teach some young Namekians the use of magic and got interested. I even tried it out. For me, it isn't that different from using ki. But I do feel a distinct difference that they are not the same. Maybe the same source of energy but used in different ways?", Darc said as he tried to explain it.

Actually, Darc noticed pretty quickly that magic was useful and gave it a try. He wondered about it why he could use it since they were two different things but then again it just felt the same as ki for him. For example the healing magic. It was as if he infused his ki into wounds and let them regenerate.

He would still need to experiment with it. Right now he only learned things like healing and materialization. But even that only to a basic level.

It felt like the spells were some kind of exchange. You would for example exchange some of your energy for some cloth to materialize out of thin air. That was pretty convenient. It was basically an exchange with the energy around him. It was like a law here of equal trade. But at the same time energy did seem to weight more than material.

"Just trying it out, huh. You should have seen Moori´s face when he talked to me about it. You were very proficient in magic even though you only started using it.", said Nail with a little snort.

Darc waved his hand in submission. "Alright, let's stop talking about that. I am actually here to say my goodbyes. I am gonna collect the Dragonb.a.l.l.s today."

Nail heard his words and nodded. "Alright, I wish you luck then, Darc. May we see us again. And hopefully not when we need your help. And if we do, please help us out."

"Hey, aren't you relying too much on a kid?" , said Darc with a big smirk.

"A kid stronger than most adults ever could be.", corrected Nail with a smile.

Darc waved himself away and started to fly off to Moori`s village. "See ya sometimes! And you as well grand elder!", shouted Darc while flying off.

----

Not long after he arrived at Moori´s village he explained to him that it was about time.

Moori only nodded to him and lead him to all the different villages that had the Dragonb.a.l.l.s. Then he placed them all together at a remote place. He didn't want anyone to know what he wished for so he activated them alone. It was time to make his 3 wishes.

"Takkaraputo popurunga pupirittoparo! (Come forth Porunga and grant my wishes!), called Darc out in the Namekian language.

Just like the Earth Shenron, Porunga set forth and materialized out of the Dragonb.a.l.l.s. He was hulky and looked way different than Shenron. He also had 4 Horns instead of 2 antlers. Darc actually didn't like Porunga as much as Shenron but that doesn't really matter now.

"Thou has collected the 7 Dragonb.a.l.l.s. State your desire. I will fulfill any 3 wishes.", said Porunga in the

"Porunga, my first wish is this. Change my race into a Saiyan´s...", Darc told him as his first wish and wanted to try something out.

Silence at first. Then Porunga stated. "That wish cannot be granted. Chose another wish."

´Thought so. Can't just change my race that was predetermined by that old geezer.´

"Then, can you grant me the Saiyan body const.i.tution. I mean with the Zenkai ability?", he asked Porunga again.

"Is that a wish?", Porunga asked.

"Yes", Darc confirmed.

"It shall be granted.", said Porunga and his eyes shined. A single bulb of light grew out of thin air and merged into Darc´s body.

Darc stretched himself a little and smirked. He felt immense vitality traveling through his body. His lifespan has probably been improved by a far margin and he even noticed that his hair was now a little bit spikier than before. They have a lot of vitality in them to oppose gravity. Seems like that's why the Saiyan got those unique hairstyles. His own hair right now looked like a combination from 11-year-old Gohan and Goten after cutting it.

Actually, was he now kinda like Cell? Nah, that couldn't be. Then his wish for a race change would have been granted. He is still after all 100% Human. That's for sure.

Still, this felt pretty good. Now he could also do some gravity training. Otherwise, he would pretty sure shorten his life and damage his body permanently when training in higher gravity. And even have an obvious limit to where he could not be turned to mush.

"State your second wish.", Porunga interrupted him.

"Please grant me a s.p.a.ce ability. Something to create s.p.a.ce pockets or separate dimensions. The affinity for s.p.a.ce would also work and I could combine my magic with it.", Darc said.

Porunga stayed silent for a while and thought about something. Seems that wish wasn't so easy to grant. Will he deny it again?

"It shall be granted.", confirmed Porunga and again a light merged with his body. This time the light was way bigger than the first and it radiated brightly. It engulfed him and vanished inside him.

Darc didn't really feel any different this time. He probably needs to figure out how he uses whatever he got from Porunga.

"Your third wish. Now." It was Porunga again and he looked kinda impatient. Was he losing a lot of power and couldn't stay? Or does he just want to go back sleeping? If that was the case, what a lazy dragon.

"Alright. Porunga, my last wish is to be sent to planet Yardrat.", Darc smirked and closed his eyes. Now it was finally time to leave Namek. He planed to learn the instant transmission on planet Yardrat so he can travel unhindered.

"It shall be granted", stated Porunga this time instantly.

After a short time waiting, Darc vanished from planet Namek.

Nail felt his ki vanish and looked against the sky where it slowly became daytime again after Porunga dispersed. "So he went home.", he mumbled.
