Sunset was siting on the floor, Goku nervously looking at his mother. Sunset glared the floor “I promised myself I would never use those powers and yet I did.”

Everyone else was tense save Bulma, Bulma walked over and sat down in front of her. Bulma sighed “I don’t understand why your upset, you helped a lot of people out there. You did the right thing, you seem to have a good sense of right and wrong.”

Sunset looked at her with a weak smile “I owe that to Gohan, he taught me the importance of morals and that one should always help another if they can. I broke a promise I made to myself.”

Bulma frowned “You did it to help people, you put the need to not use against the need to help others and made a choice. I think you made the right one, you could have just killed him but you just nullified his ability to be a threat to others. I know it may be difficult to accept but you did the right thing.”

Sunset rubbed the back of her head “Thank you, Bulma.”

Bulma frowned “You did the right thing” she then turned around “I know must do the same and bring back a friend who was willing to give their life for me.” As Bulma walked down the stairs, she saw Jackie sighing in her seat. Bulma walked over and joined her “Is something wrong?”

Jackie grimaced “I met Yamcha when he was younger, he was terrified of girls back then but I put the effort to break through that shell. He tried to do everything to impress me, when we became bandits he tried to be the best bandit. He became more and more violent, it hurt him when I rejected what he had done. He starting killing those he robbed when I was not around.”

Bulma raised an eyebrow “I don’t understand.”

Jackie slumped “I didn’t have the guts to say anything after I discovered the first body, his violent ways scared me. I was too scared confront him about it but seeing you crying there. I had tolerated his violence for too long and I had to make it up to you, this was my fault for not acting sooner.”

Bulma smiled “You are here now, that’s enough. We just need that last Dragon Ball, we will be there soon. You will have to sort that out with him. Bulma hopped into the driver’s seat and began to drive the truck.”

Oolong frowned “How much longer do I have stay with you guys?”

Bulma was about to reply when a rocket tore into the truck, Bulma manged to bring the truck to a halt. A huge mech landed as everyone got out of the damaged truck. Sunset frowned “Why is there a dog hovering in his seat?”

Goku frowned “He’s in a mech.” He leapt at the mech punching a hole in it, Goku frowned “These guys are weak. I was hoping for a challenge.” A woman carrying a rocket launcher jumped down and fired a rocket at him, Goku turned around rapidly and kicked it into the air.

Jackie glared at the woman “Who are you two?”

The blue eyed woman smirked as she pointed her rocket launcher at her “I am Mai and the dog behind you is Shu. We demand that you and over your Dragon Balls for the glory of Emperor Pilaf!”

Bulma growled “We will not hand over the Dragon Balls to two random people!”

Yamcha groaned as he joined the group “Who busted up our ride.”

Puar frowned “We have bigger problems than our ride being busted up Yamcha! Look.”

Mai was about to fire another shot from her rocket launcher, she blinked and her weapon was no longer in her hands. Sunset had snatched it from her, Sunset broke it in half with ease. Sunset frowned “I suggest you run.”

The pair decided to do just that. The group noticed that the three were running in the same direction as the last Dragon Ball on the radar. They chased after them and it did not take them long to find a massive pyramid. Bulma led first, they wandered through the stone halls of the pyramid. They entered a room and another brick walls covered the entrance.

Bulma growled “Well this is bad and…”

Sunset frowned “I can feel them above us.” Sunset leapt upwards punching through several floors before ending up in a room with Mai, Shu and what appeared to be a short blue goblin looking creature.

Sunset glared at them “We are here for your Dragon Ball. Now give it to me.”

The little blue goblin shouted “I am Emperor Pilaf, you don’t insult me!” Sunset tapped the wall with her finger and it crumbled, Pilaf panicked tossing her his Dragon Ball “Okay, okay. Take the Dragon Ball.”

The ball hit her in the face before falling into her hands, Sunset grumbled as she hopped down into the room and punched a hole in the wall allowing them to leave. The group of four returned to the truck, Bulma carefully removed Twilight's body and laid her before the Dragon Balls that were placed together.

Bulma looked at them “Mighty Dragon, come forth and grant my wish!” The sky darkened as a serpentine dragon covered in green scales surged out of the Dragon Balls.

The Dragon looked down upon them “I will grant your one wish, any wish that you desire.”

Bulma looked at the Dragon “I wish you to bring my friend, Twilight back to life!”

The dragon's eyes glowed as it spoke in a deep voice “Your wish has been granted! Farewell!” Twilight’s eyes opened as the sky returned to normal and the Dragon Balls flew into the distance.

Bulma wrapped Twilight in a massive hug as tears flowed from her eyes “I’m so sorry Twilight, I’ve been a bad friend! I should have shown more care!”

Twilight blinked “How am I back, I was dead?”

Sunset smiled “The Dragon brought you back, it was the wish Bulma made.”

Twilight blinked “I though you wanted a boyfriend, what happened to that.”

Bulma looked down “That doesn’t matter as much as you, you are my friend and I had shown you such disregard. I will be a better friend to you, still we need to get back to the city.”

Twilight smiled “Thanks” she then blushed “Um, what are you wearing?”

Bulma looked over herself “This was the clothing that Oolong gave me, I didn’t think on it much. I wanted you back but it does suit me doesn’t it.”

Sunset rubbed the back of her head “Well I guess this is where we part ways but I hope to meet up again.”

Bulma smiled “I hope so to.” She turned to Oolong “If you want to pick up girls, you will find more in the city.”

Jackie tossed a capsule revealing a large truck “We will drop you off before heading back to the desert. Wish you all luck and hope to meet with you again.” The three groups soon split up, all hoping to meet again one day.
