(Unknown P.O.V)
Just after Brian had gathered the Black Star Dragonballs and left, with Krillin and the others helpless to do anything…the world stilled.
Krillin's actions slowed as he hang in the air mid-flight towards Goku. The rising dust stopped and the wind that was blowing also went quiet.
A portal glowing yellow opened and out walked a middle aged man. He had short hair, was roughly 6.2, black with a light compression and a loving smile on his face.
A smile that was dedicated to the two kids who looked no older than 7 that he was with. Both of them had red flaming hair, though the boy's was shorter than the girl's.
The girl floated about excited as she looked at everything and everyone.
"Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! I cant believe you brought us here dad!"
She squealed in happiness and tried to dart away to study the capsule ship belonging to Bulma, only for her to stop in mid - air.
" Honey, what did we say about you running off alone while in a hostile world?"
The man asked her as she tried and failed to break out of the hold restricting her.
"But daaad, you told mom that no one is strong enough to hurt even a single piece of my hair here."
The man pinched his eyebrows in a little frustration mumbling about super babies and the like.
"Ok. Just don't go off world okay?"
He finally relented.
The girl's smile threatened to split her face in two.
"Okay, let me just go and get some pictures to show May Day once we get back home."
Saying that she flew off.
The other twin looked bored with an impassive expression on his face. He couldn't quite hide the shiny glint in his eyes though. He pulled on the older man's sleeve and said,
"This is it, isn't it?"
The older man smiled.
"Yeah…this is where I took the first step. The first step on the road to reality manipulation."
The boy snorted.
"Mom always says you were so dramatic when you were younger. I can see what she meant."
The older man looked at the boy in mock hurt.
"Your mother told you that?"
"That's not gonna work on me old man. I'm not my sister."
The boy sneered at him and the man burst out laughing. As payback he also ruffled the boy's hair, much to his consternation.
"Dad, I told you not to do that anymore! I'm not a kid!"
The man rose an eyebrow at that.
"7 years old still counts as a kid, son. So look forward to more hair ruffles till you and your sister are at least 14. Now let's go get her before she breaks the world."
He lightly pulled on the boy's hand, grinning as he listened to the boy complain about being treated like a child when he could destroy the whole galaxy if he wanted to.
After he'd shown them everything they'd wanted to see, including a trip to the lookout, Frieza's ship, where the twins had naughtily drawn on Frieza's face, the world of the Kai's and finally Zeno's grand palace, they left the same way they came…unseen, unheard and undetectable.
(Brian's P.O.V)
Due to my actions, I had decided to hole up in the wilderness. Particularly, a mountain that was rich in wild animals, edible plants and a source of water. By using my abilities coupled with my super strength, constructing a cabin was easy. And so began my life of a hobo. Mostly.
The solitude was welcome. Allowing me to think as well as proceed to the next step. The Black Star Dragonballs had remained untouched for a week as I built my shelter.
But now I was ready to claim my prize.
I sat cross legged, a pose I was very familiar with. The balls were before me, looking mundane if it wasn't for the black stars that always stayed the same no matter which side or angle you looked at them from.
I breathed in deeply. The easier thing to do would be to make a wish and be done with it. A great option if it wasn't for fact that the earth would get destroyed one year after, if the Dragonballs were used the correct way. Correct doesn't always mean right. And I wasn't going to be responsible for the death of billions if I could help it.
Besides my way was much more suited for me. I placed my hands before the dragonballs and probed them with my energy. I gasped.
Impossibilities…assaulted my senses. The energy inside was brimming and also completely foreign to me. It was like nothing and everything I'd ever felt before. It felt like Ki at one point then the next like psionic energy, ever shifting yet remaining the same.
A sentence came to my mind to describe what I was feeling,
"Pure wish energy. Like a remote to input commands to the television that is existence."
I delved fully into understanding what I had before me. When I later came to my senses, a month had passed. A month which I'd spent without food.
Instantly the hunger pangs hit me and a feeling of weakness invaded my whole body. I dragged myself up, fished by using ki spears, picked up some fruits and had a hearty meal.
On something totally unrelated to the Dragonballs, I guess I now knew the limit that my body could go to before it needs sustenance. Even moving Ki had felt like a monumental task. New goal, immortality.
After I came back from looking like a skeleton, I settled down and thought about what I'd learned from my study of the Dragonballs. Basically, they worked on the principle of 'bullshit' and a side dish of 'Da fuck?'.
I had no effing clue man. And that's after spending a month, a whole month! The only thing I'd gleaned from my analysis was that my cultivator essence was even more bullshit than the Dragonballs. I could absorb the energy contained in them just like any other artifact. Something I was thankful for and also gave rise to the question…could I do more with this?
I shook my head to get rid of the distracting thoughts and then pulled.
( Kami's P.O.V )
" Kami, she has arrived."
Kami was staring out at the world from the lookout.
The world was beautiful. He'd made it his mission to ensure it stayed that way and although he'd come close to failing his duties more than one time, the forces of good always prevailed.
But now…the planet was facing a serious crisis. Their enemy had disappeared with the Blackstar Dragonballs. One of his biggest regrets. Why anyone could create something with such a miraculous effect only to flip the scale and make the drawbacks too big for anyone to use them had always bothered him.
The Blackstar Dragonballs weren't like the normal Dragonballs. There wasn't a limit to their power.
To ensure that the earth would still be around a year from now, Kami had taken some… drastic measures.
"Still around you old croon?"
The raspy voice belonging to the witch Uranai Baba rang out uncaring of the wind around the high heights.
Kami felt a brief surge of amusement as he turned around to look at the short woman floating on a crystal ball next to Popo.
" Grave times are ahead of us Baba."
The witch snorted in derision.
"The world is always in danger. World ending calamity? that's an average Tuesday. What is so different about this one?"
Kami sighed as he felt a headache building up. Looks like a long talk is overdue.
"Popo, could you please get our guest some tea?"
"I'll have a few cakes as well with that tea."
She added boldly.
Popo looked at Kami, who nodded and then Popo left.
"I need you to look into the future Baba. The fate of the earth depends on it."
"You know my terms Kami. An upfront payment of 10, 000, 000 Zenny and then we can talk."
There was no use in grumbling or complaining so Kami nodded.
10,000,000 Zenny was a simple matter when the fate of the world was on the line.
(Brian's P.O.V)
I pulled and pulled and pulled with seemingly no end to the energy contained inside the Dragonballs. My body shook with weakness.
It had already been 6 months. In all that time I'd never moved from my position of meditation. I turned a little of the energy I was absorbing into ki to sustain myself but even with that I was more than mentally exhausted.
The energy I turned into ki was nothing but a sliver of a sliver but even with that, my life force had no doubt grown. Increasing Ki this way was something I didn't like doing because of how much it messed with my control.
Increase in my physical strength was more welcome because my control of ki increased as a result. My body adjusting itself to manage the new reserves. Increase in ki from an outside source however, didn't come with a great increase in my strength and that meant my control was left at the previous level as well.
Anyway, besides the long grind ahead of me, there were some good news. 9 months later, I managed to absorb all the energy and compress it.
My palm opened and in the middle, a shiny bead of white energy lay innocently, looking so…normal. all in all it was underwhelming. Outwardly I mean.
Inside the bead, on the other hand…I gulped nervously. If I'd lost control for even a second during the absorption, this whole planet would simply be gone.
The Blackstar Dragonballs laid on the ground looking grey. A little breeze hit them and they turned into ash floating on the wind. Fitting, I guess. After all I'd just sucked out every last sliver of energy contained inside them. I'd also edited that energy to get rid of the earth destroying curse.
I ran a hand through my hair as I stared at the pure wish energy bead. This thing… I could use it to get anything with no constraints… But I doubt I could survive the explosion of energy as the bead activates to fulfill my wish.
From the feeling I got off it while absorbing the energy, this bead is akin to an Infinity stone taken to the extreme. The reality stone but more…potent and not restricted to one universe.
My whole being needed to be at a higher level, whether mentally, physically or spiritually. At least at the level of a supreme Kai if I wanted to use it safely.
But I was going to take it slowly. One step at a time.
I brought up the Interface and did a spit take.

My ki had jumped over ten times. Ten. Times.
I swallowed, then turned my attention back to the bead of energy I had in my palm. I was going to think about that later.
(Interface, analyse the energy signature of the bead and calculate the chances of replicating more of it.)
[ Unable to analyze ]
I had expected that.
(Use the energy contained in the bead to evolve yourself to the appropriate level. Enough to allow you to follow the primary directive )
[Affirmative]
A little bit of energy, not enough to even be noticeable, was directed to the Interface. The bead seemed to melt into me and I barely noticed it when I passed out. I came to a while later, lying on the floor of my cabin and rose up.
I decided to not look at the changes and went to clean up on my rigged up shower. I then roasted some boar meat I'd caught over a slow fire, adding some wild spices I had come across during my exploring and dug in.
The meat itself was tender and juicy. It had a rich flavor to it that I attributed to the presence of ki in this world.
After the meal, I went back to my previous position and sat down.

Okay. What just happened? My thoughts were stalled as another blue box appeared in my vision, rephrasing the last one.
[ Evolution complete. ]
[ Analysis Complete. Conclusions drawn. For the the Pure wish energy bead to be made into a sustainable and rechargeable unit, more analysis needs to be done on similar sources of energy. You're going to need the following items:-
