A bitter north wind howled through the narrow mountain pass. It brought with it driving snow, and visibility so poor you could scarcely see more than a few meters ahead. Amatricina did not mind, this frigid cold was nothing to her, insignificant beyond the fact snow continued to clump and melt against her attire. She was a fire demon, born on a burning world under a black star. Her kind could survive in the void of space itself, no earthly cold could best them. She had arrived on this strange blue marble of a planet only a few hours ago, the next location in her newfound quest of sorts. Not long after her encounter with the Knight of Manus, Sir Gallius, Amatricina had come upon a strange relic in her travels. A large gemstone, a vibrant orange in color and marked with five perfectly identical five pointed stars. She could tell its value immediately, sensing the incredible magical powers within her treasure. Sadly though, all attempts to activate the gem had failed, its power locked away by yet unknown means. It was vexing to the demoness, and that vexation had quickly grown to agitation. None of her courtly wizards or sorcerers had been able to assist her, and none of her ancient tomes or manuals had held secrets to its origin. But, Amatricina was not completely without answers. One scroll, an ancient parchment she could scarcely decipher, had alluded to this particular world being the origin of the mysterious five starred gem. It was the closest thing the demon had to a lead, and she took it gladly. Leaving her eldest brother Raigu to act as her regent and preside over her clan in her leave of absence, the demoness had once more invoked the ancient incantations in the tome Gallius had left her with. Once more a wound in existence had been torn open, and she had been pulled through time and space itself to the far flung corners of the mortal realm. This time though on her own terms, and her own accord. When the demoness arrived she was in a place utterly opposite her own. A world of fire and brimstone replaced by a world of ice and snow. She had wandered for an hour or so, before coming across a small village of mortals. They were a curious race, their power levels pathetically low, and seemingly incapable of utilizing ki in even the smallest ounce. Amatricina had suppressed her demonic ki down to their levels, not wishing her true nature or strength to be known by any on this voyage. She was here to learn and discover, not make new foes. With her demonic power levels suppressed down to a mere hundred or so, the demoness decided she need go one step further to ensure her ruse was absolute. Weaving her black magics Amatricina fashioned herself a guise in the form of these mortals. Much as it pained her, her true demonic appearance commanded far too much attention. If she was to venture forth among these primates and learn of her gem's origins, she needed to look the part physically and spiritually. Her great crown of horns replaced by a simple black headband, holding her long mane of ruby hair neatly. She deigned to change her precious hair, thought she did fashion her flowing locks into a long ponytail that braided its way down to the small of her back. Her cloak and gold and crimson armor replaced by a downy light blue parka with a thick white fur lining. Winter gloves replaced armored gauntlets, and snow boots and simple black leggings traded places with her knee high armored boots. Golden jewelry and necklaces faded away, replaced only by a humble blue scarf that wrapped gently around her neck and trailed behind her in the winter winds. Even Amatricina's normally crimson gaze faded away, replaced by much humbler soft blue eyes. She would not bring herself to hide away her figure, the sin of pride heavy within her black heart. She maintained her captivating beauty, impressively well endowed with her slender waist and wide childbearing hips. Her winter apparel did little to hide the generous curves of her wanton figure, and at last confident in her disguise, Amatricina had set off. The mortals of the village had been welcoming to the strange young woman who clutched a large orange orb under her right arm. They had welcomed her with open arms into their halls, going so far as to offer her fresh food, a hot drink, and a warm bed for the night. She refused their generosity, having little time or patience for their hospitality. When it was quite clear the villagers held no knowledge of her mysterious five starred orb, or anything of note beyond the lands of their mountain home for that matter, Amatricina told them she felt it best she get going. They refused her request, demanding she stay inside until the storm had passed. A burly villager went so far as to grab her arm and stop her as Amatricina attempted to open a door to leave. In that moment a cinder of rage boiled up within the demon. How dare these mortals defy her will? She had no concern for the "dangers" of the "storm outside." This weather was meaningless to her, and for a brief moment she considered slaying them all for their insolence. Amatricina snapped back to her wits, regaining her composure as she remembered her guise. She would need to act the part, and leaving a village of charred corpses would only draw suspicions. Against the protests of the villagers, the young woman had headed back out into the blizzard, clutching her round gemstone and moving with enough speed the villagers were sure to quickly lose sight of her. And so she wandered, deciding flight would only draw unwanted attention, Amatricina had consigned herself to walk the frigid mountain pass in search of more information. For hours she walked, bundled up tight in her winter clothing with her scarf trailing behind her as it whipped in the winds. The large orange orb clutched tightly under her right arm, she held her precious treasure snug against her to keep it safe. The voice in the back of her head told her that she should have left the orb safe in her fortress' archives where her warlocks could continue to study it. But if the gemstone was needed to find or activate others of its kind, Amatricina needed to have it with her. So there she was, walking steadily through the driving snow and howling wind up some long forgotten mountain trail, no destination in mind but wherever this path took her.

Growing tired of his solitude lifestyle with his current living arrangement tempted Gurki into visiting other places on Earth and possibly the universe. With the broke down ship he was living in, universal travel was currently limited until he was able to either fix it himself or find someone that actually knew what they were doing. With him being low on funds he probably couldn't pay but he would offer his martial arts services in exchange. Gurki opened the hatch to the ship as the howling winds immediately whipped into the doorway, causing his aura to flare up and cover him in a blanket of warmth as if it was done without him even thinking about it. Gurki looked out surveying the frozen plane looking at the emptiness and quietness that he had grown accustomed to over the past few years. This had been his home for so long yet it started to feel like an icy tomb that always kept him coming back for the sheer comfort and privacy it provided him.
Gurki made his way outside of the broken ship walking to the edge of the mountain top as he prepared for his decent into a world of unknown pleasures and sins. Although he had been born on Planet Earth he still was oblivious to alot that this sole planet had to offer. For the first time ever he had met a Shinjin, a being he had only heard tales about when he was younger. This only made the young teen even more curious about the world that he lived in. It was time for him to open up and accept this world for everything it held within and also everything it unleashed upon its inhabitants. Gurki jumped off the mountain peak diving towards the ground before landing feet first causing a small crater beneath his feet. This ice was more durable than most terrain as the frozen landscape was repeated being covered with sheets of ice year round. Gurki rose to his feet before looking back and upwards towards the mountain peak he had just lept from, this was truly his farewell as he nodded to himself before making his way through the icy area.
As he walked with no destination in mind he thought about his brother Gula and how he would always follow him on crazy adventures. This brought a smile to his face as images of him and Gula getting in trouble by the locals for some mischief that they had just been involved in. "Those were the days brother" he mumbled to himself as a tear fell from his eye as Gula's tragic ending appeared in his mind as well. Gurki clenched his fists as anger engulfed him forcing him to stop walking as he no longer thought about anything else except his brothers dearth. Gurki let out a scream of rage as his aura flared up violently causing the ground below him to slowly crack beneath his feet. The rage a saiyan had now been awakened in Gurki as he continued to scream out in pain and rage. Deep down inside Gurki was a young boy that was deeply hurt and alone in a universe that seemed to not care.

Amatricina had been content to simply walk along in the depths of the blizzard. Thought she was no closer to her destination, not that she had any place in particular in mind. The solace of wandering the mountain passes alone had given her time to reflect and think more on her treasure. This... five star orb, for lack of a better name, was unlike any gemstone she'd laid eyes on before. It was large, big enough around she needed to tuck it securely under one arm. It was perfectly round, and immaculately smooth. Moreover, it was seemingly indestructible, she had tried on several occasions to crack it open like an egg. Neither brute force nor ki blasts had so much dented it. Whatever its origin, it was clearly mystical in nature. As she held the gem in her hands, inspecting it with her now soft blue eyes, Amatricina could feel the power resonating inside of the orb. Her demonic nature made her very in-tune to magic in general, and this gem was a font of magic. She would unlock its secrets one day, and claim its powers for her own. But first... this blizzard needed to subside. Now constrained to her guise as a mortal woman, Amatricina deigned to fly, or do anything that required manipulation of her ki at large. That meant a very long and winding walk through the ice covered terrain. The demoness was still lost in her thoughts when she felt it, like a wave of pressure that howled even against the driving winds. Her ki sense immediately picked up the power level not far away. It was further up the slopes of the mountain, it has familiar to her... She had felt powers like this before, some years ago. When? Amatricina picked at her thoughts, trying to place the memory. Suddenly, it came to her. That girl, that mortal child on that desolate jungle world. Zerori, she had a ki that felt similar to this being. Saiyan, that was the name of her race. But this power did not feel quite the same, Zerori had been half demon as well, Amatricina could smell the corrupting influence of demonic ki on the child's aura. This power felt, different. It was uncorrupted by demonic ancestry, and far stronger than the young child had been. Moreover, Amatricina could sense the emotions of the being. Demons were very attuned to the negative emotions of other beings. She felt the fires of anger, of pain, and sorrow, and loss. Her eyes shimmered with wicked intent, as thoughts raced within the demon's mind. Mortals were easiest to manipulate when their emotions were off balance, it was easier for her to work her claws into a wounded soul than an unbroken spirit. Curiosity and her scheming nature set the demoness' path towards this newfound power level. It was by far the closest thing she had to a lead on this frozen wasteland of a planet. The last Saiyan she had encountered had been snooping about an ancient temple, accidentally summoning demoness in the process. Perhaps this race held an affinity for hunting down magics, or held great knowledge of the arcane? Either way, it was a better course of action than wandering without purpose. As she drew closer, Amatricina played up the part of her disguise. She began to shield the wind from her eyes with her free hand, bundled herself up tight in her scarf, and walked as through she was fighting against the force of the driving winds. "Help! Is anyone out there?" She called out, her voice barely audible above the howl of the storm. Her calls continued, until she could begin to make out a vaguely humanoid shape against the pounding snowstorm.

Gurki's rage had slowly faded away as his brother's last words overcame the extreme anger he had felt in his heart. He knew that his brother was always watching over him and at times when he felt most alone it seemed as if is brother's energy was right beside him giving Gurki a warm feeling inside. As his anger subsided he could faintly hear someone yelling out, but Gurki couldn't make out which direction it came from. The howling winds and echoes made it hard to determine where this particular sound was coming from causing Gurki to immediately rise into the air hoping to see the exact location. Despite his efforts this didn't help him at all as the fierce winds caused him to intensify his aura that was currently keeping him warm. Gurki wondered why someone would be out here without knowing where they were going or who they were looking for. Gurki shrugged thinking that not much worse could happen, "Probably another challenger" he thought to himself.
"I'm up here in the sky" he yelled out in each direction hoping that his flaring aura would provide somewhat of a marker for the person to find and follow. Gurki continued to yell at as he began to think that if it was someone wanting to fight he was really giving his position away and leaving himself open to a blind attack due to the low visibility in the frozen landscape. A slight grin came across his face as the thought of testing his own reaction time to a blind attack would show how far along he had come over the years. Gurki closed his eyes searching the area for any power level that would pose a threat, but what he felt was not a threat but what seemed to be a normal person. Upon opening his eyes he headed in the direction that he had sensed the power level from only with caution. He didn't know who or what was out there and knowing that he could suppress his own power it could of also been a trick to lure him out in the open.
Gurki scanned the ground flying lower and lower hoping to actually catch a humanoid figure and that he did. What he saw was not a challenger but what seemed to be a beautiful woman lost. Immediately a red flag entered into the brain of the young half-breed it had to have been a trap, there was no way possible a woman would be out here in this environment unless she was well crazy. From what Gurki had learned about the other gender was just that, they were CRAZY. Despite his cautious outlook he decided to make his way towards what seemed to be like a female human. A slight smile crossed his face as his shyness was about to set in since it had been a very long time since he had seen someone of the opposite gender. As he made his way towards the woman he would try and remove the smile from his face but only ended up looking ridiculous with a strange and forced facial expression as he approached her.
"Hey, over here!" Gurki shouted still several yards away from the woman as he now slowly walked towards her as several pick up lines started processing in his brain. Gurki wasn't even sure what to say once he had reached her and most likely he would look in awe before actually giving her any kind of help. Such a typical seventeen year old boy Gurki was, stunned and preoccupied with thoughts most young boys his age would have.

With false blue eyes the demoness watched as the unknown Saiyan rose into the sky, no doubt looking for her. "Good." She mused to herself, "There is compassion in him as well." Between the driving snow and the fearsome winds, it took him a while before he spotted her. She kept her power well suppressed, doing her best to maintain the guise of mortal weakness. From what she had observed the beings of this world could not fly, sense ki, or even have notable speed or strength. It left her with precious few resources in her ruse, but no matter. As the unknown warrior moved closer towards her location, Amatricina made sure to play up the part of "lost maiden freezing to death." She shivered extra hard, chattering her teeth slightly as she clutched her winter clothes. In truth though this cold was insignificant to her, and she could see this entire mountain range a burning inferno... if that was truly what advanced her goals. "Yes, I'm here... over here!" Amatricina called out through the harsh winds, waving her free arm to signal the warrior closer as her other clutched her orb tight. As he drew close enough to see clearly, the demoness at last got a good look at him. He shared many similarities with that Saiyan girl, the half demon. Both had spiky jet black hair and a well muscled physique. Though the girl's eyes had been red from her demonic heritage, this Saiyan's were coal black. Perhaps he was a pure bred of their kind? These questions could be answered later, for now Amatricina had more important roles to play. Amatricina threw herself eagerly against the Saiyan, hugging him tight as she assumed a mortal could. Her enormous bust squished lovingly against the Saiyan's muscled chest, Amatricina looked up at the warrior's face with crocodile tears streaming from her false blue gaze. "Thank you thank you, so much." She spoke, her words feigning the panic of near death experiences and the elation of rescue. "I didn't think anyone was going to find me. I thought I was going to die on this mountain. I... I'm so cold." She stammered, snuggling tighter against the Saiyan. "The village elders were right, I should never have traveled here by myself." Her faked tears turning to small shards of ice as they landed in cold snow.

Gurki was surprised that she was so quick to run and hug but what caught his eyes was something he had never seen before. He couldn't even focus in what she was saying as his gaze was only focused on a particular area and it was extremely noticible that he was getting more than an eye full. Tears dripping from her eyes caused him to withdraw his attention from her chest, allowing him to refocus on the situation at hand.
"Who would send you out here and why would they do such a thing" he asked embracing her into his chest closer in an attempt to keep her warm. He looked her in the eyes and wondered why she wouldn't even accept such a harsh mission. He figured that if she made it this far without freezing to death she was more capable then she let on.
"How about I take you back to my ship so you can tell me all about how and why you chose to come out here." Gurki sent her a smile as he slowly pulled himself away from her embrace turning his back towards her. "Hop on my back it'll be faster" he said looking back at her. Although he still felt suspicious of her he felt the sooner he found out more about her the faster he could continue on his on journey without interruption.

The feeling of lust hung from the Saiyan like a stench, if only for a moment. Amatricina sensed it immediately, and smiled internally for it. Mortal men and their weaknesses, they were too predictable, not that she minded one bit. The prideful nature of the demoness relished whenever others lusted over her body, there was little she would do to curb this attention. The Saiyan's words snapped her back into clarity, and the scent of lust fled from his heart... pity. Amatricina accepted his embrace, nuzzling tight against them as their eyes met. She could see in his eyes the mortal was puzzling over her appearance. The demoness had been concocting her own little story since she first decided to approach the warrior the gain his aid. "No one sent me. I came on my own." She said sniffling, wiping the tears from her eyes as she spoke. When the warrior mentioned his ship it came as old a mild surprise to the demoness. The other Saiyan had a ship too, their kind must be space faring in nature. Were they colonizers, conquerors, or simply nomads? She would ask this one if the opportunity presented itself, Amatricina decided. "Yes, thank you so much. It's a long story... I can tell you all of it when we're out of the cold." She added as the stranger pulled himself away. When he told her to hop on his back she feigned excitement, bouncing on the heels of her feet in joy, which sent her more voluptuous assets jiggling as she did. "I knew you could fly!" Amatricina said delightedly, "I thought the cold was making me see things." She hopped onto the warrior's back, wrapping her lush thighs around his waist. She wrapped one arm around his powerful chest, holding on tight, the other still clutching her strange orange jewel tight against her side. Amatricina was sure he'd appreciate the feeling of her bust against his back, especially as she pressed herself tight against him. "Thank you so much for rescuing me." The temptress stated sweetly. "I don't even know your name yet stranger. I'm Amata, Amata Tricina."

Gurki nodded slowly agreeing while she gave him some answers to his questions although not enough detail was given but it would do until they got to the ship. He had a large smile on his face hidden from her view as she seem to be overly excited knowing that he could fly. As she hopped on his back and wrapped her thighs around his waist he grabbed underneath each thigh making sure she wouldn't fall off, feeling that she was very comfortable holding on to him tightly. What did catch his eye was the strange object she held so tightly as if it was a sacred jewel of some sort.
"Are you ready to fly" he asked her right before leaving into the air not giving her a chance to respond back. His aura flared out more covering both of them in what seemed to be a blanket of white flames, defending them against the frigid temperatures and disrespectful winds that howled as they flew to the ship. Good thing they weren't that far from the ship Gurki thought as he ascended the mountain peak which only took a couple of minutes.
As they grew closer Gurki's ship slowly revealed itself as the mental link he had with the ships system deactivated the camoflauge in which up until this point kept him fairly well hidden. "Aww we are here" he said as the hatch to the ship opened up allowing him to fly directly in before closing behind him. The ship was pretty large being able to seat several people with room to walk around. It was pretty open except for a door that was opposite of the the entrance which seemed to be a personal room of some sorts. Gurki landed in the middle of the ship slowly squatting down so that she could get down.
"Sorry for the delay but I am Gurki, it is a pleasure to meet you." Gurki gave a large smile placing his right head behind his head as if he was shy. Little did she know was that Gurki was extremely shy but he was pretending not to be for whatever boyish reasons he had. "Would you like some warm tea or maybe so ice cold water" he asked her as the remark about the water made him chuckle a bit. He was pretty sure she didn't want anything cold considering she had just came through a blizzard.

As the two flew through the air, Amatricina studied as much about the Saiyan as she could. He was still holding quite a bit of his power back, it didn't take much practice to learn how to fly, and she barely weighed enough for him to notice her. Based on his temper flare earlier, this warrior had more power hiding away than any mortal she'd yet met. He probably surpassed the Knight of Manus too, at least by her estimates. The journey took only a few minutes, but it gave the demoness plenty of time to think. Soon enough they'd crested the mountain top, and the Saiyan's ship revealed itself from the ether. Cloaking technology, that was a surprise to the demon. The mortals space faring technology was at least on par with that of the demon realm's. It was something she should have anticipated. The duo entered quickly through a hatch on the vessel, the faintest bit of wind whipping in behind them as it closed. The vessel certainly felt bigger on the inside, and it was a balmy temperature compared to the exterior. The air was a bit stale though, no doubt running through a filter that recycled it for long interstellar voyages. "Here we are indeed..." Amatricina repeated idly, distracted as she looked about the ship's interior with genuine curiosity. Amatricina hopped off, still looking around with childlike wonder. She paused only to wipe the melting snow from her gem, polishing it back to an immaculate shine with one end of her scarf. Once sufficiently satisfied she turned back to her rescuer. The Saiyan introduced himself, and she was all too eager to return the greeting. "A pleasure to meet you Gurki. You're a real hero." She gave a wide smile, leaning in close to plant a quick kiss on the Saiyan's cheek, he seemed almost embarrassed trying to speak with her. Gurki's mannerisms came off like one trying to hide his awkwardness. The temptress in Amatricina did so enjoy playing with those emotions. As she drew back from her kiss she gave him a pleasant smile, her face positively glowing with warmth. "I'll take the tea, that sounds rather lovely." She had no idea what tea was, but decided it would be too out of character for a human to want a cold drink... after being almost frozen to death. She briefly wondered how fast she needed to pretend to recover from the cold? "It's nice and toasty in here." Amatricina added cheerfully, finding a couch and making herself comfortable. She set her orb down gingerly besides her, not letting it out of her sight. "Anyways, I already told you my name, now I might as well tell you my story." She cleared her throat and began to speak. "I come from a small village, on the far side of these mountains. My father was a simple woodsman, and my mother worked our garden. It was a simple life, but a few years back my mother caught a fever during the height of winter. She did not survive." Amatricina's eyes watered as she played her part in her ruse. "My father grew very sentimental after my mother died. His own health was failing in his age, I think he was dying of a broken heart. One day he took me deep into the woods, to a secret temple mostly buried under the earth. It was an ancient place, he claimed it once held an object of great power. But the temple was empty, just vines and roots and stone. When we returned home he pulled a trunk I'd never seen out of the attic. Inside was this."Amatricina held up her five star ball, for Gurki to inspect. "He'd been hiding this in that trunk for years, decades even. He told me his grandfather had found it when he stumbled on the temple a century ago. It's supposed to be an ancient relic of magical power. But nothing they ever tried could activate the magic within it. My father entrusted it to me, telling me to keep it save with me at all times, as he had before me. When he died, I sold our home and took what little money I had an began to travel the world. I've studied with mystics and monks, sorcerers and priests, I've never stopped traveling. I think there's more of these gems, at least four, since mine is the five star one." Amatricina patted the gem lovingly, she almost had herself believing her tale. "I've learned a lot about magic in my travels, even if I'm not very good about it. But I've never come any closer to unlocking this gem's secrets. Anyways, I heard rumors there was a powerful warrior living high in these mountains, where no man dared to tread. I was told all sorts of things, that he was the last of an ancient order, that he was sworn to a vow of silence, that he was a being from another world. Some claimed he was a sorcerer, others said he was a monk, some even said he'd been dead for years. I was sure this mysterious man could held me, and held some knowledge of my orb. So I decided to find him." The woman let out a long sigh, she'd barely paused to breath. "But the village elders at the base of the mountain warned me not to make the trek. They said the weather was too unpredictable this time of year. I didn't listen, and ended up getting caught in that storm. I was too far up the trail to turn back, my only hope was that I'd find the mystic warrior in time." She smiled and hugged her gem lovingly against her ample chest. "Luckily I did, and now I've met you. Also, that tale left me kinda parched. Is the tea almost ready yet?" The demoness added, a tender smile on her ruby lips as she set her orange starred ball down.

Gurki went to go make tea as his new visitor made herself comfortable and began to tell her tale. As the tea brewed he made his way over near her standing up with his arms crossed listening carefully to every detail if her story. Gurki followed every word up until she got to the rumors about him. Although it sounded great and like something he would want to be remembered by it truly wasn't his story.
Gurki eyed the gem and her chest faintly remembering his brother Gula telling him something about legendary orbs of power, but he honestly couldn't recall what was said as they were very young during that time. Gurki stood up retrieving the tea and bringing her a small cup. "Why haven't you checked the library around town, I'm pretty sure they'd have something as magical as those orbs in their records" he asked picking up his own cup of tea and taking a gulp.
"So what are your plans now that you've discovered this legendary warrior for n the mountains" he said with a smile and a short chuckle afterwards. Gurki placed his cup of tea down extending his hand towards the seductive beauty before him. "If it is true that those hold power we should find the other four, I actually came across something in this ship when I discovered it. Follow me please."

Amatricina smiled playfully as she caught the Saiyan's eyes catching wandering glances, she did so love when men lusted over her beauty. Gurki seemed to swallow her story hook line and sinker, or at least, he showed no outward signs that he doubted her tale. After all, what man could resist being the noble hero to an innocent damsel in distress. The deceiver in the demoness loved her little deception, it filled her black heart with childlike glee. Amatricina gentle took the tea cup in hand, taking a small sip. The drink was hot, and surprisingly good. She let out an audible "Mmm..." As she sipped, eyes closed contently. "What do you make this with?" The demoness asked sweetly, she was genuinely curious. Was it something you boiled, a nut or leaf or plant? Most produce on her world was grown in vast hydroponic bays or imported from off world, few plants could survive her ashen homeworld. The demoness expressed genuine surprise when Gurki commented on the library. She rubbed at the back of her head with one hand, mullingover his comment. "I was unaware the town had a library, or that it had any knowledge on my gem." Amatricina feigned a cheerful expression, playing up the part of being a charming but somewhat ignorant woman. "I guess that's why I'm lucky I found you. There's so much about this region I don't know about!" That part at least, was honest and true. Amatricina extended out her own slender hand, taking Gurki's hand. His skin felt coarse and callused against her flawless porcelain complexion. The hands of a warrior who clearly spent much of his time training or working, that and his race was not gifted with demonic vitality. The demoness hopped to her feet, following alongside her new companion. She left the gem where it rested on the couch, though she still held her tea in her other hand. "My plans now. Hmm... Well." She stated, pretending to formulate her thoughts. "Now that I've found my handsome warrior, I'll need to find a way to repay him for his bravery. I was mostly hoping you knew more about my gem, or where the rest of them might be." Soft blue eyes blinked several times when the Saiyan uttered his last remark. "What exactly did you come across?" The woman asked eagerly, following the taller Saiyan along with a spring in her step. He didn't have one of the other gems did he? There was no way she was that lucky, though maybe he had a means to scan or locate them. The demoness was practically holding her breath in anticipation as she followed the warrior along through the modest interior of his ship.
