Author's Note: This is the best story out of the trilogy, in my opinion. ^^ While reading the

previous story is not necessary (as a prologue is included), I do suggest it. Anywho, if you

have any comments or corrections or suggestions, etc., please let me know in a review or e-mail

me at nayr@gsrc.org. As always, enjoy the fic! ^^

PRELOGUE

When we last left our fighters, they had just laid waste to two vampiric entities that

professed to be followers of Samantha before running into another fighter that they knew

nothing about. This fighter was none other than the demon priest, Nayr, the brother of the

demon priest and leader of Lucifer, Samantha. Nayr was snatched from the jaws of death

by his sister Samantha where they decided they would lay low and train before reappearing

to conquer Earth.

Meanwhile, Celipa, a saiyan from another reality, came to from Uub's Genki-Dama and

used her scouter to locate Goku and Gohan and took off to offer her assitance after discovering

that she was in a completely different reality than where she had been born. With West City

and Capsule Corporation destroyed, bringing the Z fighter's friends' death toll up to a much

more significant number of at least four there are many questions to be answered now.

Will Goku and Gohan be able to find the Dragon Balls without the aid of the

Dragon Radar. That shouldn't be too hard for them should it? What do Samantha and

Nayr think about it? And who is this Sarial that they mentioned? Find out some of these

answers and more in "Fusion"!

Chapter 1

Vegeta trudged in the front door of his summer cabin. It had been two months

since the fight with Celipa and since the one time encounter with "Samantha"'s deciples.

Whoever they were they would be back. Vegeta knew it. The dragon balls couldn't be

found anywhere... not even there energy signatures were traceable. Vegeta simply trained

to prepare unlike his foolish counterparts-- with the exception of Celipa. For being a

low-class fighter she sure didn't act like one anymore. Vegeta appreciated the company of

a true saiyan again and told her to stay at his home. The original reason for this was to

make sure she didn't turn against them again, but he was soon convinced that she had

nothing against them anymore. Not entirely convinced, mind you... just mostly. At that

moment Bra stomped up to her father with an irritated expression on her face.

"Celipa is making me train with her again! I don't want to fight like you guys!

Can't I just go to the mall?!" Bra asked in anger. Vegeta smiled. That was at least one

thing he liked about Celipa. She was your typical saiyan mother; a bitch... but a damn

good one. Not quite the same as Bulma, but in Vegeta's opinion they both had their ups

and downs personaltiy-wise.

"I don't think anyone can prepare us for the threat that opposes us and we need all

the help we can get. If Trunks has to train then so do you, Bra!" Vegeta yelled as his

daughter. Bra glowered at her father and gave him the finger. Vegeta smiled. He had

raised her well. Bra began walking towards the door anyway until Celipa appeared in

front of it with a mischevious smile on her face.

"Where do you think you're going, Bra?" Celipa asked in a taunting voice. Bra

tried to push her way past the female saiyan, but Celipa grabbed Bra's hair and held her up

in front her face. "I'm sorry, but the answer is that you're coming with me to the Capsule

trainer again for some fun in two times Earth gravity." Celipa dropped the girl on the

ground and dusted her hands off.

"But Cela..." Bra whined. Cela was Celipa's nickname, a name given to her by

Krillin's daughter, Marron. It wasn't meant to come out that way, but Marron stumbled

over her words and it came out; and no one would let it down. "It's too hard..."

"Too hard?! A child of mine believes TWO TIMES Earth gravity to be HARD?!

I train at THOUSANDS of times Earth's gravity!!!" Vegeta boomed in rage, Celipa

smiling, knowing that the daughter of Vegeta had made a bad choice of words. "Celipa! I

want you to train her at FOUR times Earth's gravity! Keep me posted on her progress!"

"Four times?" Bra squeaked in horror. Celipa laughed cruelly.

"Come on, girl, we have some work to do..." Celipa told Bra and put a death grip

on the half saiyan's hand. Bra winced in pain as they walked off towards the Capsule

trainer to begin training again. That was something else that wasn't going so well...

Capsule Corporation was still being rebuilt and Red Ribbon combined with Pod

Corporation were milking its downtime for all it was worth. Trunks announced he would

take the place of Bulma until they could wish her, Pan and Bulma's parents back. This

annoyed Vegeta, as his son's time would be better spent preparing for the inevitable future

battle with these "Samantha" desciples. Still, he didn't make an issue, because they

needed the money at the moment...
