Nayr leaned in closer to one of Kain's victims that he had spared momentarily at the utterance of what was most likely a stupid myth... but it was a most intriguing myth...
"Samantha!" Nayr called, his voice carrying like an echo on the wind. "Come here!" The demon priestess landed in front of her brother, her earrings jangling as she landed.
"Yes, brother?" she asked smoothly, staring at Nayr's hostage. "Why have you not taken his soul?"
"He mentioned an artifact called the Dragon Balls... if all seven are brought to one place and wished upon, that person's wish will be granted." Nayr said with a smile, glancing over at his sister. Samantha smiled as well and bent down looking at the man.
"And how do you know this?" she asked, her silky voice capable of intoxicating any man's thoughts immediately. The man smiled dreamily.
"Because I have one..." he said with a stupid grin, reached into his pocket and pulled at an orange ball with three red stars in the center. Samantha turned to her brother and smiled.
"We thank you for your help. Nayr, make his death painless." Samantha said. Nayr broke the man's spine, then incinerated him in fire. Samantha smiled. "Nayr, I would like you and our children to lay low for awhile while I find more of these... dragon balls. I will let you know when to strike against them."
"Yes, my love." Nayr responded and called off Kain and Lillith's bloodfest as Samantha took off into the fading night sky as morning began to bleed over the planet.

The day brought nothing but sorrow for the Z fighters as they learned the fate of Pan. Trunks had been given a senzu bean at the last second, barely sparing his life. Goten was just fine, thanks to Uub following them out that night. Pan wasn't. Her lifeless body was put in a capsule coffin, her grandfather, Goku, and her parents, Gohan and Videl, looking down on her. Goku didn't seem that unhappy, however.
"What do we do now?" Gohan asked gloomily. Goku smiled.
"We can wish her back with the Dragon Balls, of course! We just need to find Bulma and get her dragon radar and we'll be off!" Goku said. Gohan nodded and smiled. As usual, his father's optomistic solution was a sound and reasonable one.
"I already have the fourth one. I've been studying dragonball properties recently." Gohan told his father. Goku nodded.
'Then there are only six to go!" Goku said and took off towards Satan City and Capsule Corporation.

Celipa blinked. It was morning and she had been unconscious for the past few hours. In those past few hours she had come to a realization that seemed hard to swallow. She was from a whole other reality than this one, a reality where her father had not turned traitor and the saiyans still were a formidable force in the grand scheme of things. She had gone off to intercept her mother's ship when something had knocked her into another plane of existance... and she still had no clue what this was that had gotten her here. All she knew was that anything that had happened here was a serious mistake. She had been fighting people and disrupting lives of people that weren't even like her.
The saiyan stood up slowly, her wounds still aching and burning like they had just been made. She looked to her side and saw her scouter laying next to her with a note that was written in her native langauge.
"In another place and another time we could have been friends. - Goku" she read to herself and folded the paper up. Goku was Kakkarot's name here... Celipa shook her head. This had gone too far. She had to right the wrongs she had made. Celipa slipped her scouter back on and tapped it. She noticed that someone had fixed the lens as the display showed up. They were to the West... and-- their power levels were dropping?! What was going on? Celipa wasted no time as she took to the air.

The two killers walked slowly towards Satan City, stopping first at Capsule Corporation only to be met by Goku and Gohan at the front door. Kain smiled and jumped at Goku with sword drawn ready to cut the saiyan in half. Goku smirked and lifted a finger to block. The sword stopped right at Goku's finger. Kain's eyes widened and the symbol on his head began glowing a firey red. Nayr watched from the darkness, his power level at zero to make sure nothing happened to himself. This was it. They would soon know the true power of these Saiya-jin.
"Stand down, fool, in the name of Samantha DoLucifer!" Kain boomed, his voice deep and satanic. Goku's face formed a puzzled expression.
"Samantha? Who's that?" Goku asked in bewilderment. Kain didn't bother replying but instead dashed at Gohan this time and swung his sword again. Gohan wasn't expecting the sudden increase in Kain's power and slid back when he caught the blade with his hands.
Nayr frowned. He had given them 25% of his power but it wasn't having any noticable effect. Nayr gave them 80% to componsate as Kain transported behind Goku and brought the sword down over Goku's head. Goku grabbed the sword and ripped it from Kain's grasp, bending it in half and throwing it to the side. Kain's eyes glowed a fervent red as he dashed at Goku with a incredibly swift punch that knocked Goku back into the concrete wall that guarded the entrance to Capsule Corp. Goku jumped back to his feet and fired a few ki balls at Kain. Kain smiled and absorbed every last one of them for his own energy, draining Goku's power. Lillith stepped in at this point and put her hand on Goku's head and began pulling power right out of him. Gohan took his cue and kicked Lillith in the side while dealing a side blow with his fist to Kain. They both landed on the ground incapcitated. Nayr's eyes flashed a bright red tone as he charged up a blast. Here were a few he had learned from Sarial herself...
"Kaioken times 50!!!" Nayr said to himself. Goku spun around noticing the spike in power. "Ka...me...ha... me... HA!!!!!!!!!" Nayr screamed as a huge ki ball streaked towards Gohan. Goku jumped in front of it took the full blow. The blast knocked Goku back into the Capsule Corp. builiding, demolishing the lower floor. Gohan blinked in astonishment as Goku slowly got to his feet.
"Who was that?" Gohan asked. In answer, a pillar of fire appeared in the sky. The pillar began to swirl about itself, more and more tightly together until they began to form the shape of a person. Soon Nayr appeared as the result of the fire, glaring down at them. Nayr brought his hand out and smiled as he fired a huge ki ball at the Capsule Corp building. Goku and Gohan took to the skies as the blast hit the building and wiped out Capsule Corp... along with the rest of Satan City.
"Wow! You're pretty powerful!" Goku said to Nayr. Nayr raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, but what it comes down to at this point in time is whether YOU are powerful, saiya-jin." Nayr replied with little change in emotion.
-Nayr.-
Yes, my love.
-I almost have the last dragon ball. It's in the house of the one you are fighting called Go-han.-
Okay, but after you get it, we need to lay low for awhile. These Saiya-jin outclass me by several times...
-What is their power level?-
More than 350,000,000 by Freiza standards.
-Okay, we'll lay low after this. I'll come pick you up after I grab this dragon ball.-
Nayr's body burst into brilliant blue and red flames and the sky darkened with black clouds. These parlor tricks wouldn't do anything to scare away these saiya-jin, though... but it did look damn cool. Nayr dashed at Goku and Goku prepared to block. Nayr turned into flame and went straight through Goku, the flames beating against the fighter. Nayr reformed behind him, still flying backwards from his dash, launching a powerful ki blast at Goku. Goku knocked it away, but Nayr flicked his wrist back towards himself and the blast came back, this time at Gohan. Gohan was caught completely off guard and knocked into the ground, the ki blast exploding even bigger, making a crater for miles around. Nayr snickered. Maybe they wouldn't have to delay after all... Nayr's laughter was cut short as he was caught in the head by Gohan's leg. Nayr flipped sideways in mid-air as Gohan brought both hands in a fist down on Nayr's back and knocked him down into the crater.
"MASENKO!!!" Gohan screamed as he launched a huge ball straight at Nayr. Nayr's eyes widened as he put a hand out to block it, but there was nothing he could do. The demon collided with the ground followed shortly by the Masenko, the blast spreading outward at incredible speeds. Goku and Gohan watched the smoke clear, awaiting the fate of their enemy...

Samantha and Nayr sat next to each other in a destroyed building up in the frozen north of the planet, an area where a certain Doctor Willow once operated.
"So, what do we do now, my love?" Nayr asked in irritation, still recalling the fight he had almost lost his life to. Samantha smiled and leaned her head against Nayr, her huge aratop earrings jingling.
"We will practice... and when the time comes wish on these dragon balls. In a year's time, we will be unstoppable." Samantha replied with a warm smile this time, looking up at her brother.
"Sarial will be very pleased." Nayr added. Samantha closed her eyes and nodded.
"Indeed she will. Already she has retaken her place in Otherworld and soon we shall rule at her side."
