Who knows, it could play by some different rules, might not be something we’d want to use… especially since we don’t know who it’s linked to. It could be a Namekian that’s still alive out there, somewhere… or at least someone like Trip.”
“Scouter’s Dragon Radar function is registering it as giving off the same energy signature as other Dragon Balls.” she explains, tapping it. “It definitely might have a different ruleset, wish specifics, all that, but at the very least, it registers like the others do. Who it’s connected to though… that is a good question.”
Tugging at Piccolo’s cape, Kajika asks him quietly, “What’s this ‘Dragon Ball’ thing? Is it like a special kind of dragon’s egg? Do they hatch from ‘em?” Piccolo makes a face, taking him aside to explain things.
“Should try to find some way to keep ‘em safe then, especially if we don’t want ‘em falling into the wrong hands. Maybe even if it means just taking one with us back to Miss Supreme Kai of Time.” you remark. “Or… maybe hand it to that Null guy, at the very least. Especially with all the negative energy that’s spread throughout the universe, no telling what might happen if a wish is made on ‘em. Though… hey, Supreme Kai, would that be some way to kinda help manage all this negative energy? Like, at the very least putting it into a place like… well, here?”
“Under more normal circumstances, negative energy would flow down to the Demon Realm.” he replies, rubbing his chin. “Using a set of Dragon Balls to set things right again though… it might be possible, but it might also cause the Dragon Balls to take in a substantial amount of negative energy themselves.”
“If a wish is made, please don’t repeat what Peppa did.” Buula requests, her voice dry. “We understand why she did it, but that caused a few… issues.”
Percel and Bra shudder, with the alien man commenting, “Our boss has managed it at the very least, but…”
“Point is, please don’t… shove it into the end of time or whatever.” Buula adamantly states.
“Well… I guess some others might be out there, but we shouldn’t let this revelation become a big distraction from what’s at hand.”
“Agreed.” Maple confirms. At the same time, Piccolo finishes going over what the Dragon Balls are with Kajika and Gigi.
“So, we ready to head on to our next area?” Buula questions.
“I believe so.” Kajika responds. “Man, you guys get up to quite a lot don’t ya?” He places his hands behind his head and grins. “Not complainin’ though. Ready Kai Guy?”
Supreme Kai gives a nod. “Yes, let us be off then.”
