"I know what I want." smiled Dan "And you're just going to give it to me!"
"Of course master!" nodded Lucy happily. "My powers are yours!"
"Technically, that is exactly what I want, Lucy. Your powers to be mine." he grinned "The idea of becoming a titan among men is tempting, but I feel like it wouldn't be as terrific as it could be if I still have to need your help when I can get these powers myself. And shrink with my own magic all girls so I'm the one reducing their sizes at will."
"Of course master!" Lucy said "You're right, as always!"
Dan looked at her "Of course I am! And I'd feel safer knowing the kind of magic device your friend Angie and you obtained isn't somewhere, available for someone to work against me! I need to be in control of all this power. So, here's my wish, Lucy. I wish your friend Angie and you never found this power of yours, but that instead, all this genie powers of yours were mine. In fact, I want my powers to be increased hundreds of times compared to yours!"
He didn't know if that made any sense considering Lucy's power already seemed unlimited, but if he could get more powerful, why not give it a try?
"But, master..." Lucy started.
"YOUR MASTER COMMANDS IT!" Dan exclaimed. Of course she wouldn't like it. She loved him, and he wouldn't need her anymore, he thought. And he'd be more powerful than her, making her useless to him.
"Yes, Master, your wishes are my commands..."
She seemed sad, as she lifted a hand, and worked her magic. There was a flash of light, and Dan grunted as he felt the power growing inside him. Like a warm ball expanding in his body, allowing him to pump in its power to realize what no other human could do. "Yes... YES!" he shouted, feeling everything around him fading as the reality was adapting. He opened his eyes to gaze at the poor, useless Lucy... and found her smile sadder than ever. Well, too bad girl, but he didn't need her anymore, and he'd shrink her as soon as this power would have stopped growing in him...
... but he realized soon that his power seemed so amazing that it was almost like trying to escape from him. He could feel the air around him going warmer, like it was also infused with magic! What the hell? No! No! He closed his eyes, focusing on the powers he needed to control and...
He heard "BOOM!" and the world seemed to explode around him.
"Damn..." Dan muttered, as he slowly got on his feet. The world around him was blurry, but blinking, he managed to have a good look at it. His furniture had changed. His walls too. These last ones seemed... made of gold? He smirked. After all, he made himself a billionnaire, so why not? Lucy was nowhere to be seen. Fine, she was probably back to normal, and not remembering how she ended up turning him into a god. But the TV had vanished too. Instead, the room was full only of pillows, a small table in the center, fruits, jugs of water here and there... and Arabic lamps at the walls.
"Weird." muttered Dan. "But I want my TV back."
He pointed at the wall, focused, and smiled as he felt his magic powers awakening in him. He thought about a TV, felt the power flowing into his arms and... nothing. It was like his magic was trapped inside him, stopped right before his hands! He looked and noticed two large, golden bracelets glowing. What the hell were these?! They looked like the chains he putted on Lucy and...
"No! No, it can't be!"
Dan ran around the room. And as expected, found his walls slightly curved. And no exit, without one. A hole with no door, at ground level. As he stepped in, her realized that he was in what looked like a golden chimney with slippery sides, one he couldn't climb despite his best efforts. And at the end of the chimney, he could see in a distance, not the sky... but what looked like his former ceiling.
He was tiny, and prisoner of a genie lamp somewhere in his house. He wished to become a genie, and even Lucy tried to stop him. But he didn't listen. The only way to become more powerful than her was to be more of a genie than she was. The reason why he was now gifted with powers beyond imagination, but trapped in a stupid magic lamp! And without anyone at home, as Lucy and Angie were now probably far away, not having a slight idea of who he was, and without even a magic mean to help him.
"No.... NO!" he shouted, realizing what he had done.
Now... he could only wait for someone to find him... and maybe help him?
