The sound of a soft breeze.....

Once more its calming sound together with the water running down a small lake echo through a forest.

By the edges of the lake were sitting multiple giant fishes that were caught seemly recently and on a rock that was in the middle of the lake, was a girl whose brown hair floated with its wild style, she didn't seem to brush it very often if that said something.

We already know who it was, now with her newly acquired jacket that she is happy to have, after all, her stock of clothes was all on her System Inventory, which by now was basically broken in pieces, with only one-third of it still with her.

*plash~*

"Nothing....."

Sitting by the rock, Mumei had both her legs crossed as she used her right arm elbow resting by her right thigh to rest her head on, bored.

Since yesterday much didn't happen, she watched Kro and Fauna training, but couldn't join as her energy was still recovering very slowly, she didn't have much Life Force, making so her body recovers even slower.

All she could do was hold the improvised fishing rod she had, and hope to get something more to play around with, that was the mindset she had until now, and how she caught the pile of huge fish by the lake's side.

Sighing after the fish seemly grew some brains and now were scared to pick her bait, she raised her head from her arm and stared at the clouds in the sky, an activity she always liked doing, be it in her current body or her older one.

The peaceful skies, she always loved it.

She is a free bird after all, what bird doesn't like the feeling of wind hitting their faces as they take flight?

" .... Shit is about to hit the fan..... I can't do my stuff anymore... *groan*..... Why Fu had to appear now.... He could appear after I smashed Cell's brains in that arena of his, or maybe after I played with Android 17, which now....*grin*... Will be stupidly stronger...."

A recognizable face appears once again on her, but she shakes her head to get it away.

"No! Bad Mumei!.... I need to focus on how to wreck the shit out of Fu..... Fukari is out of the question for now..... Since my control over high quantities of Chaos has shown....*looks at hand while clenching it*... That I still have a looong fucking way to go.... Maybe If I find this Universe's Bae?..... *flinches*.... Bae... Auuugh!*groan* I feel like an asshole..."

*thud*

Falling to her back as she lets her fishing rod by her side, Muun continues staring at the clouds for a good ten minutes in silence, thinking how would she react to meeting the Rat.... But she knew this universe's Bae didn't have anything to do with her.... or if she even had Chaos....

Those are huge variables if she even could find someone to give her a hand to see what path she had to take.

' Super Saiyan is something that I can learn even easier now that Kro has it..... The other thing that I am planning will work if midget shows up, which he will most certainly will....'

Planning her things like always, she tries to find ways to help herself and some of the others, she didn't want to progress alone as she knew the others had the potential to help her and reach higher, they just had to sweat their asses off.

And as she lay there looking up, her feather twitched, but she didn't even flinch as she stayed there on the ground.

*steps getting closer*

" Muun... *Looks at the pile of fish*... You caught quite a lot huh..... *looks back at her*.... I know that you must be overthinking in that bird's head of yours again, aren't you?"

Walking out from inside the forest, Kro, with her clothes that had seemed better days, gets to the edge of the lake seeing the birb lying on the rock in the middle of it, a bit worried.

*ush~*

Floating up slightly, she landed where Muun is and picked her head as she crouched down, raising slightly, before putting it into her lap as she sat down.

The one who had her head moved without consent just stared at the blue head with her glowing eyes, as if asking something, yet she wasn't.

Kro's eyes with her slightly blue glow were locked on in the other's suns and were just taking her time appreciating them. As now Fauna was resting after their sparring session, she could finally have some time alone with her Owl.

And that made her realize that it was finally time to say what she heard from King Kai's call, not saying before as she wanted the one in her lap to at least have some breath of air after experiencing so much after recovering her true self old memories.

Raising her left arm up, she rested it on Mumei's head, patting it to try and see if that helped.

"*Sigh* Muun..... King Kai called me a day after we landed here, he wanted to see if we were okay or if Fu was still around, after some random talking he explained to me that we will be transported back with the Dragon Balls as you expected... But there is another thing too... Calli and Kiara were there and spoke a bit about Pillars."

Widening her eyes at the last part, Mumei was paying Kro her full attention as she knew that Fu spoke about that, it also seemed slightly different from what she knew as ' Concepts '.

Raising her other right arm so she could rest her hand under her chin, Kro continued.- " It seems you together with them are not considered ' True Pillars ' yet, but ' Pillar Candidates ' as they called... From what I understood they have higher authority than G.O.Ds as they walk around the Universe's as they want."

Nodding as she was following her thinking process, Muun was connecting the dots.-' So... OA-chan is replacing Zeno like I thought... and the Pillars are the others huh.... Wait....*stares at Kro*'

Her face gaining a strange look makes Kro tilts her own in confusion as to why she was being stared at like that, her response was a boop to the nose that made her flinch back a little with Muun's right hand pointing finger.

" If we from Hololive are Pillars... or candidates to it, doesn't that mean ya are somewhat one to? Same with Fauna.... I mean, she might as well truly be Mother Nature or at least the damn Concept of it here, you evolved to half Time Dweller too right?"

Repeatedly bopping Kro's nose as she spoke, the bird had a smug look on her face seeing Kro getting annoyed, before she had enough, and used her hand that was by her chin to hold the bird's hand and push it back to Muun's chest so she could stop playing with her nose.

"M-My....H-How lewd.... Didn't have ya for this type Kro...."- Trying to hold down her laughter as Kro groaned, Mumei tried putting on a show but didn't have much effect as the other one was serious.

And taking in some breath she tried making the one by her lap also take it seriously.

"Mumei, What about Bae?"

Saying her name like that made the Owl immediately stop her act and look away, back to the sky with a distant look, her playful face changing to a slightly worried one.

Pushing her head up, she jumped up to her feet still looking up, and Kro just watched waiting for an answer as she wanted to see what could maybe happen.

The silence that was covered by the sound of the river hitting some places and the splashes of water was calming at least.

" If I say that I know, I will be fucking lying, *closes eyes*... For more strange and short that my and Bae's interactions back then were, she cared enough to try to help me, she seemed to be even considering humans too as long she helped me...*small smile*...I... Imma be truthful... I feel like shit for what I did, and even if forced, I will certainly go back there to apologize someday....

*looks at Kro with open eyes*

As of right now?*big grin*

Let's have fun while we can and be friends with them, this time I can and will, everyone would want that, be it my parents or the friends I met for a short time back then."

Stretching an arm towards Kro, Mumei shot her the classic Owl grin, a gentle one for many, a trickster one for others, and a lovable one for two.

Kro's eyes almost shined as they widened hearing that, and seeing the face of the one giving a hand, she couldn't help but blush with a happy smile of her own.

' You always remind me why I fell for you, don't you Sussy Owl?...'

Grabbing the hand, the blue one shot a smug look back, a malicious one, and Mumei didn't like it one bit.

"Kro...Wai-*𝑺𝑷𝑳𝑨𝑺𝑯!!*"

" Ahahahahah!"

Pulling in Mumei as she jumped inside the lake, Kro started laughing while seeing Muun's wet hair almost blinding her vision.

" Now you did it!"- Falsely getting irritated, the Owl threw her arms forward sending a small wave of water towards the blue head.

"Woow!!"- Almost falling out of the lake, she is able to swim forward a bit, and move her arm forward with a controlled strength to match Muun's current one so she didn't throw a tsunami towards her.

"Bleepth...*spits water*.."- Also swimming forward above the wave, Mumei still spits some water as a smile of joy is stamped on both her and Kro's faces, but both of them flinch at the sound of running steps.

" I WANNA PLAY TOO!!!"

*𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐌!!!*

Jumping high in the air and falling in between them like a cannonball, Fauna almost makes both of them eat some pebbles that floated up from the bottom of the lake.

As the other two try to spit the water they drank, Fauna moves her arms around shooting even more water toward them, and they started attacking back after getting all the water out of their mouth.

Playing around for a good while, they notice how Fauna's strength was strangely bigger than the last time they saw her, Kro knew she was strong as even with her weakened state of Super Saiyan the green woman could keep up with her when she got one-third of her real power that circulated around the planet, she wondered what the full one would be like...

..... But what happened that made her only slightly stronger?

Space, the place where silence is not an option, but a hard-to-break law.

And also the place where beings have to go across to get to their destinations, which normally aren't the closest thing.

* UUUSH!!!*

Passing by various planets of different colors a pod strangely resembling a Saiyan one goes through this infinite silent darkness, seemingly already finding its objective as the one who rides it grins seeing a giant tree.

" I finally found it..... Took some years but I was sure this wasn't just some babbling I heard from those fools of the Cooler forces..."- As we move a bit closer, inside the space pod was someone very uncanny, grinning widely as his black eyes were fixated on that giant tree.

His armor was a blue version of the Frieza forces one, and on his face, a red scouter was beeping from time to time showing him the chats that were happening on the guys he had been robbing information from.

As this scouter was a special one. Well it couldn't measurably massively high powers, but he could keep tabs on both Frieza and Cooler forces, and hearing the chats coming and going he continues to grin.

His hair moves very slightly, and having a better look at it, said hair was identical to one of Mumei's friends, earth's protector, Son Goku.

The same could be said for his appearance, that it was as if someone copied the Earth Saiyan and pasted it, the only differences being his height and skin tone, which was way more tanned.

*𝒄𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒌!*

Moving his arms, he cracks both hands already anxious to get his hands on something considered gold, something he has been searching for more than eight years already since he found out about its existence.

And after so many travels, he found more and more evidence that it was actually real.

" The Tree of Mighty.....*Massive grin* I can finally get my hands on it! Frieza is already down from what I heard..... Then I can go after that Cooler bastard.... he too must have his hands on our planet's destruction...*clenching teeth*... We were great warriors, the best that this universe had to offer! Your whole family shall pay after I acquire this power that belongs to Gods!!!! AHAHAH!"

*ZUUUSHhhh*

With his laughter being suppressed inside the pod, he goes toward the giant tree, hopping to be able to attain strength to be capable to end the ones who exterminated his race, and becoming the True Emperor of the Universe, just like he thinks his race would've had become if those Frost Demons had left them around.

As the new addition closes in on the giant tree, the planet it was planted on starts acting strangely.

It was like its forests started moving by themselves, feeling something approaching its atmosphere, and the second they did, a certain green-haired lady had finally woken up.

She was resting by one of her trees, and as her eyes slowly opened, they had a different glare from the one she showed to her friends usually.

The light yellow glow that although not nearly as strong as Muun's unusual ones, still held immense awareness.

Blinking slowly, she used the tree's trunk to stand up, looking high at the clouds as her blank stare turned into a frown. Saiyans were somewhat animals so she could tell their intentions, that's why she didn't mind interacting with Mumei and Kro.

When she noticed that she could feel their intentions she actually felt a little dumb thinking Kro was one of the bad guys back when she first saw them because Mumei's own animal presence was way larger than the bluehead.

" Nuisance."

One word was muttered by the gentle girl, with a tone full of disgust as she felt the amount of greed whoever was getting close was emanating, she also felt the same from Muun when she was making those plans of hers, but the one she gave off....

Was way more pure and good, it made Fauna feel funny and giggle, the Owl was too honest, and that made Fauna even more intrigued, it was like the feelings she had internally were always outside.... the good ones that is... she could feel something inside Mumei.

She didn't know what it was but she was sure it was what made her be in that state she arrived.

But that was something she already knew from the girl herself, 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒐𝒔.... And even knowing what it was. It still left an unquiet feeling in her.

Going back to the scene, Fauna glanced at the tree trunk she was with her hand on, before entering it like it was made of some sort of liquid.

Not even a full second later she appears by one of the huge tree's branches, her face back to a blank look.

Eyeing her tree and its leaves, she gives a brief look at the hundreds of small golden dots on the leaves, she had put them there for decoration since she liked how the fruit looked, but for some reason, the being descending into her planet showed great interest on the humongous tree.

Blinking, she sat down by the branch, her eyes closed.... But with her eyes closed she felt her whole 'body' or to better say, everything that the planet that was considered 'alive' gave her a bit of information on the new addition.

So she could watch and see what this new intruder would be doing, if he is after the one who was fishing and the other one who was teaching her, she would smash him as soon as he stepped closer to them.

And as she did that, on the skies something rained down, Kro and Mumei didn't even notice it, being too small that even the animals around there were probably stronger.

With a flaming glow, a pod flew close to one of the roots, before finding its landing location.

*𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐌!!*

And impacting on the ground while creating a relatively big crater, inside it, the man was a bit shocked, his scouter was going crazy, it wasn't an old one, he was sure even someone two times stronger than Captain Ginyu would be okay for the device. Having upgraded the device over the course of years, it was a unique piece.

"What the hell!?!?!" - *click*

Being smart, he turned it off, it was already approaching the two hundred thousand and it didn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.

" Ugh... The bloody thing must be broken, well it was a long trip.... *smile*... I guess I will fix it after ending the Father and Older Brother duo.... "

*Shhhh~*

*tap*

The entrance opens, and the tanned man doesn't waste a second already getting up and stretching his arms and legs as he walks outside, glancing around he sees the giant vegetation as well as the tree, where he could see golden dots all the way up.

*𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑺𝑯!!!*

With his grin getting even wider he flies up with a white aura explosion as he lifts up, flying at.....

Relatively fast speeds...

𝙃𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙡𝙤𝙬....

Compared to those around here, he is nothing but an ant moving, as for them, they are airplanes.

Seeing that, Fauna simply opened her eyes... and instead of her frown... she was trying to hold her laughter.

She thought someone as strong as that guy who faced Muun would show up, but now feeling the man and analyzing to see if he was holding his power back... Just getting up quickly she tried biting her lips as she walked to the edge of the branch, waiting to see it by herself.

" What is your foolishness going to make you do~ Little Monkey~?"- Her tone was playful this time as she sat by the edge and swung her legs back and forth.

Not really believing she took this so seriously, Kro already said to her before now that she thought about it... How the universe they were in was weak. Even their current strength was already putting them far above many, if not most.

Kro got as far as telling her that maybe ten or a few more people in their Universe at the moment could face Mumei if she gets her health back, and that was at the moment... the blue-head was sweating while she talked how the Owl wouldn't stay in that position for long....

Now that Fu touched the hive with his bare hands.... even Kro wasn't sure what they should expect, or what degree Mumei would be willing to go now, but she was sure. Speaking with a huge grin by herself, Fauna still clearly remembers how proud she spoke.

" 𝑴𝒖𝒖𝒏 𝒊𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒎𝒚... Huh... Oh... He reached the fruits.."- Laying forward with her right arm resting on her thighs, she put her chin on her right-hand palm while repeating the words she heard, also having a small smile on her lips.

"Uuuuuu~ Here was I thinking he was a threat... *sigh*... I will go see Muun."- Standing up, she turns around totally ignoring the man as she phases inside the giant tree through its main trunk.

Leaving the Saiyan who as soon as he reached the tallest point had his breath roughed up, the air there was so tough that he felt like coughing all the time.

" Finally.... Uug... I... Will...Become the... 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗦𝗧!!"- Arriving at a golden apple the size of his head, he wraps his hands around it trying to rip it off.

"UGHHH!! WHAT!!!! *PULLS HARDER* DAMNIT!!! GET. OUT!!!!!!"

*𝑽𝑼𝑼𝑺𝑯!!*

Supporting his feet by some branches around the fruit he tries pulling even harder to the point he flares up his Ki and throws his head back trying his best, just to not even budge the giant golden apple.

He grunts and screams with everything he has until his body shakes as he can't push more power out.

Giving up the current strategy, he leaves the fruit and floats back a little with a big smirk as he closes his eyes, and rises his right hand up ready try to something.

*𝐔𝐔𝐒𝐇!!* - " The hard way it's then!!!"

A white sphere appears shining brightly above his hand as his eyes open.

Putting his concentration on this new trial of his made him oblivious to his surroundings.

Moving around the man were hundreds of Vines and he only noticed them as he looked up to throw the Power Ball...

Just to not see the sky.... but just many vines moving around...

"Wha-"- He didn't have time to scream as a vine latched to his mouth, another to his arm and legs, making him immobile as he was dragged inside the tree leaves, his grunts could be heard as he tried moving but the things didn't even move.

Tears rolled down his eyes as they screamed for help before he was entirely dragged inside the leaves...

The only thing that made people know he was there was the white ball that slowly started to go down.

No more was the man who once wanted to rule this Universe, being 'eaten' and turned into nutrients to 𝑴𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆.

" Aaagh.... My clothes.... Damnit Kro....*sigh*"

Shaking her head while naked, Mumei looks at the one who left her clothes in this state as the culprit used her Ki to try and warm up the bird with a big smile.

" What? We just bathed. Don't know what you're talking about."- Smiling pretending she didn't drag the birb inside the lake, was Kro giving her a look slightly blushing too as she peeked around Muun's warrior-like body.

By her side already fully dried up was Fauna, copying Kro as she also helped in drying Mumei.

Their process was simple, just a small hand wave with the addition of some Ki to warm the air up, sending a breeze of hot air.

Simple yet effective as Muun was almost all dried up, and hew hair puffed randomly like a bird's feathers would when wetted.

"*Yawn*..... Tired as hell....."- Scratching her eyes with her hands, the brown bird was feeling like sleeping as tomorrow she would have to deal with a lot of things, also tired of playing around the lake.

" Just a little more Muun..."

Patting the other's hair, Fauna smiled as she waved her hand a little faster, that gentle smile never going away as Kro just deadpanned her.

Staring at each other for a second the air got colder, they did indeed put their differences aside, but this wasn't a difference they had, they had a similar liking, and Kro didn't like that one bit.

All of them were not wearing anything as the clothes were by the side... well except Fauna as she didn't wear anything anyways.

After another minute Muun felt she was all dry up and while stretching her arms up with droopy eyes she stood up, leaving the other two there with their staring competition as she walked to her clothes.

Not even bothering to put them on completely she walked towards their root shelter as she constantly yawned.-" Not having the energy to do shit sucks ass..... Can't wait to be back at full capacity again...."

Walking through the path that was created as Fauna moved her forest earlier so they could have a better path, she whistles with her clothes by her shoulder, only her jacket on so she could at least hide her breasts slightly.

Her body seemed to have gained even more shape since entering Namek, her muscles didn't grow but got denser to absurd levels.

This was the body she cultivated with her sweat.

" Hmmm...*close eyes*... I am still curious tho... I have a tail..... Super Saiyan is by the door.... maybe I will ask Raditz..... Hmm..? What's dat sound? *opens eyes* It's annoy....ing..."

With both arms behind her neck she walks out of the forest, having a view of the gigantic tree, and in front of her about to hit the ground, was a slowly moving white orb, and her tired head didn't have time to think.

*𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐎𝐌!!*

As the thing hit the ground, exploding with a white glow, Muun's eyes and heart started palpitating, with just the first glance she was hypnotized.

And without a second something started growing all over her body....

.

.

.

.

.

.

" Just stop with the act already...."

A bit behind Mumei was Kro, who was walking side by side with Fauan.

" She's a free bird, she said she doesn't know me that well, I just have to show her more of me then!"

Firing each other lightning in their eyes as they side-eyed each other, they wouldn't actually fight like before, but these talk-fights weren't hurting anyone so they didn't stop.

*𝑩𝑶𝑶𝑶𝑴!!* - * 𝑼𝑺𝑯𝑯!!*

Immediately as they heard an explosion from where the bird was, they didn't even hesitate as Kro turned into her Super Saiyan and Fauan burst behind her in a light green Ki.

Their talk was something they could continue later as they frowned following a super bright light on the other side of the forest.

* * 𝐔𝐔𝐒𝐇𝐇!!! * *

Arriving there....They were immediately terrified....

The sight in front of them fueled them with....

𝑪𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔?....

A giant barn Owl, its eyes closed with only one of her legs down, small breathing sounds coming out like ' Hooos '.

Behind her was the source of the light.... And Kro immediately understood what happened.

*uush~* -" *sigh* That scared the crap out of me..... ahh... But how come a Power Ball be here? Muun created it?*raises a brow."

Going back to base as she scratched behind her neck, the long-legged woman stared at the humongous Owl, she was so big, that Kro was still small even while being close to one of her talons.

"*whistles* She's way bigger than the Ape one too.... I guess that answers the question we made some years ago... but damn, Muun probably reached at least forty meters...(131 feet)..."

Looking up as she circled around the Owl, she couldn't help but be mesmerized.... also noticed how big the Owl's tail was, it was probably double the size it should be with its size, probably the monkey one gave it that size up....

She actually wondered what happened to the monkey one... but a second later shook her head.-' In this is the universe, people can blow planets by sneezing... Magical clothes... Talking about magical clothes....'

Flying up, she smiled seeing the bird with the yellow and black jacket that sized up to meet its wearer.

" Neo really left something convenient huh..."

As she floated up there, thinking about how cute the sounds the bird made were while also cuddling its fluffy feathers.

On the ground, Fauna's eyes were fixated since arriving, not blinking once...

The animal that is in front of her was Mumei..... She didn't know how to react, and its feather looked so fluffy, yet its overall appearance looked to be capable of tearing a world apart.

And with a blush, she had only one word for the oversized Owl.

"𝑪~𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼𝑼~𝑻𝑬!!!!"

Before also lashing forward to hug da big birb.

Indeed, a bird's day.
