She pats your head. “Missed you too, Gohan.”
“You pulled out so many amazing skills during your fights… hell, you were probably the one who carried your team more often than not.”
That statement gets an annoyed “Hey!” from Izzy, but you can tell she isn’t really that upset by it. Pantea rubs the back of her neck. “Eh, I wouldn’t go that far. But I am glad I was able to put a lot of the things I’d been working on to the test… and even experience a smidge of that Mahou power for myself, not just as an observer.”
“Man, that fusion was something I don’t think anyone was expecting, how much did you practice it?”
She sheepishly laughs. “I mean… we did some image training the night before.”
“...Oh. Oh wow, and you actually pulled it off first try?” That was… a REALLY risky move then. And a damn awesome one.
“More or less worked out in the end, though I can’t believe it took that much effort to even come close to KO-ing Peppa.” She rubs her sides as she walks with you. “Especially after how well Pandel worked against you.”
“Thanks for the reminder.” you mumble in faux irritation. “But at the same time, Pandel was you and Videl, your rival and best friend, and the both of you with with your potentials unlocked. Izzy with her Mahou powers are a bit different than just a raw strength boost.” A thought then crosses your mind. “Hey, have you and Izzy even named that fusion? Didn’t make any confident announcement or anything during your fight.”
“Well… kinda leaning Panzumi, because Panzi…” She waves her hand dismissively. “Yeah. The other option is like… Iztea? Izutea…?”
