Rare or unique minerals? She had a few in mind, and new just where to find them. "Can do. I'll be right back." She took off, leaving Slak alone in the secluded forest. She wanted to cast a shield around the general area, but she didn't want to disturb his meditation. She had no idea what all went into attuning oneself with the planet, but she figured it required being able to... be in touch with the
entire planet, as opposed to just a small little bit of it.
"Oh well," she muttered. It would be alright. The Judge was dismantled and she made sure to keep Sarada's construction under wraps as far as intergalactic news went. The Saiyans knew, but no one else did. With that secrecy on her side, the chances of trouble finding its way there were slim.
She flew towards a mountain range twenty miles from where her palace was being built. There was no rush, so she took her time and thought about the wishes she was going to make. Resurrecting those lost during Tundra's invasion was a given, as was transporting them from Otherworld to one of the Saiyan worlds. Assuming they got a third wish like Tiamat, that was the main concern. Other than the first two, she had no real desires, nothing that she would want to waste a wish for. Earth showed her that she could save it for a rainy day, when they really actually needed it right then and there.
Hm. Oh!
Then again, the second wish Ochazuke made gave her an idea. His wish was for their future enemies and their plots to be revealed. With that in mind, she decided: she would wish for their
present enemy's plots to be revealed. The Ulthan had been a thorn in their side since Darkle. The fight with them was hellacious and they probably got lucky. They had several so-called "gods" on their side, yet the M-Fighters still managed to kill half their team, while only losing one of their own - who was killed by one of their own. Even still, she didn't feel comfortable not knowing what they were up to. The three remaining ones - Ishtar, Lady Binder, and Last Daughter - weren't as powerful as they were right then, but she didn't dare think that meant they weren't a threat. They were, especially since they had eight uninterrupted months to plan and make adjustments. She and the rest of them needed to know what they were up to.
With that, her three wishes were decided.
"Ah, here we go." Before building began, Sarada took an extensive tour of the planet, during which the surveyors teamed with Avoca showed her several points of interests. One of which was a mine deep in the base of a mountain range. It had been excavated and explored beforehand, and it was determined that there was over five billion galactic credits worth of minerals down there. Despite the massive number, there was a very minute amount of it, and it apparently as only found on a few planets in the galaxy. That should have qualified for rare and unique, in her mind.
Sarada landed at the mouth of a small cave and walked inside. Her hand became alight with pure white ki to illuminate her steps as she ventured deeper within. The walls were speckled with translucent gemstones of varying colors that all sparkled brilliantly as she walked by. It was mesmerizing. There were dozens of mountains and basins across the planet, all of which were sure to have some kind of mineral deposit. It was at that point that Sarada felt she had an idea for an export that would make the Empire quite a bit of money, especially with the posh, materialistic space "aristocracy" that practically lived in Space Vegas and loved to show off their affluent lifestyles.
Eventually, after five minutes of carefully venturing deep into the cave, Sarada reached her destination.
The light from the ki ball floating around her pierced through the massive gemstone pillars and refracted, turning the mine into living kaleidoscope. She stood stock still, eyes wide with unabated marvel and wonder at the sight before her. She took a step forward and spun around to take in the full breadth of the sparkling beauty. Beholding it made her reconsider her initial idea to make a profit off the mine. Something wondrous like that needed to be preserved, not exploited.
It was something to think about, certainly.
Maybe a drip-feed type thing would be a better idea.
Sarada broke off several pieces of the rare mineral and held one up in her hand.
She kept one for herself, and placed a dozen more pieces in a sack. She wasn't sure how many Slak was going to need, but having too much was better than not enough.
As much as she wanted to remain and explore, there was time for that later. She exited the cave more quickly than she arrived and took off for where she left Slak. With hope, what she gathered for him would work and they would be on their way to having their own dragon balls.
