Amatricina, never content with one wish, immediately began her search to amass the Seven Dragonballs once more. She knew not fully how their mechanics worked, and when the orbs had scattered across the sky it had been a surprise to the demoness. Now she was forced to scavenge for them anew across the galaxy. She had already the Five Star Ball from the ashes of Shuma Village. The mortals there, the 'Shouten' warriors and their champion 'Asuka' had been powerless before her might. Only their divine priestess had given Amatricina any pause, and the woman had been broken for her insolence. With the Five Star Ball now safe, stowed away on the deck of Dain Sincara's warship, Amatricina returned to Earth to begin her hunt anew.

The demoness arrived via her signature Dimensional Rift, cleaving open a wound in space itself. She stepped forth, glaring around the mountainous countryside around her. She was near the witch Lilith Nevermore's abode. She could sense the girl's minute power level from here. Though the witch was a hundred fold weaker than the demoness, she was still an order of magnitude stronger than the average Earthling. Amatricina briefly considered visiting the witch, and checking in one her gifted imps, but decided against it. She had more important matters to tend to. The demoness sensed at the air, her surroundings, feeling for the strange magic that radiated from the Dragonballs. Lilith's own magical energy was obscuring her senses, like a large radar signature blocking out smaller ones. "Damned girl must be working on something ambitious..." Amatricina said to herself, rocketing off to the north to put distance between herself and Nevermore.

As she traveled further north the climates grew colder. Already sparse mountains became barren and then coated only in snow and ice. She was further north than North City, and that was very north indeed. All the while she sensed outwards, trying to detect the faintest pulse of Dragonball magic amount the power levels of the Earth. Her eyes went wide, and the demoness caught a whiff of her prize and turned to arc her trajectory towards it. A wicked grin on her face, the demoness picked up speed. The sonic booms of her travel sending avalanche after avalanche along the mountainsides. She cared little, and truth be told the region was sparsely populated. Eventually the demon came to an abrupt halt. Her gaze glancing left to right, she had lost the signal.

Amatricina groaned slightly, her brow furrowing as she scanned the mountaintops. "Where is it? Where did it go?" She grumbled to herself as she searched. Something was blocking the Dragonball's magic energy, or masking it with its own. Some powerful sorcerer intent to claim them for themselves? Was this Lilith's doing and Amatricina would need scold the child for it? Amatricina then came to detect something she hadn't before, not in eighteen hundred years of life. A strange, peculiarity kind of ki that was unlike any she'd felt before. It's power level fluctuated wildly, from almost nothing up to levels of a Super Saiyan without any rhyme or reason. Amatricina was perplexed, and decided it was the source of her woes. She zoomed in its direction, only a few mountains over.

The Demon Queen landing with a graceful stop as the air pressure from her surging flight whipped the snow of the mountain into a momentary blizzard. The ground meters around her was melted free of snow by the hellish heat that radiated from her demonic ki. Amatricina looked before her, and saw only a strange pink creature that she could not identify. Its ki was truly unlike any she had felt before, and it gave the demoness pause. No creature could transform and suppress that rapidly, could they? And if so, why? Was it a clever tactic to disguise their true strength? Was its body unstable, like some perverse magical chimera?

The demoness cleared her throat before addressing the pink creature with its back turned to her. "You, I have questions for you... Stranger." Amatricina was momentarily lost for a proper word. The ki she sensed was neither demonic nor divine, and unlike that of the myriad of mortal races she'd seen across the galaxy. The demon who believed she knew all their was of the arcane and godly had met a being outside her understanding. Her gaze narrowed on the jubilant creature. It wore simple clothes, no armor or appropriate attire for the climate. So like herself it possessed great resilience. "What is your name, and what exactly are you?" She asked the strange pink being, folding her arms crossed beneath her enormous bust as she awaited its reply. If it could not speak, she'd resort to addressing it telepathically or beating the information out of it.

Amatricina was slightly sickened by the creature as its head swiveled about, like its body didn't possess bones. It seemed... highly elastic, at least at a casual glance. The demoness watched in muted silence as the strange being before her gazed up in amazement to finally meet her eyes. The words that came from the strange pink woman though, were not what she had expected in the least. Amatricina groaned internally, coming to the realization the girl before was a child. A very young child at that, still filled with wonder and innocence. It was the simplest explanation for the strange being's simple manner of speech and general obliviousness. That or the being before her was simply very, very stupid. The end result was much the same regardless of which prospect proved true.

"Big?" Amatricina said questioningly, filled with slight self consciousness. Did the simpleton mean big as in tall, or as in fat? While Amatricina was only average height for a woman of her race, she did find herself on the higher end of the spectrum among mortal women. And though she would admit her own figure had... flourished a bit since consuming the immeasurable Dark Energy that radiated from Monsigneus' moon, Tenebris, Amatricina was quite proud of the fact any growth had only further accentuated her voluptuousness. "Oh." The Demon Queen thought to herself when the strange being said 'super big and warm'. "She means my power level..." Amatricina thought, chuckling slightly to herself.

"Yes. Very big, and very warm." She replied to her dim witted acquaintance, trying to dull her speech down to her level. "But I could be much stronger, and much hotter... if you anger me." Amatricina grinned a sinister grin, hoping to instill some modicum of fear in the creature. Much like her ki, the being's soul was particularly difficult to read. It was... so damnably pure... and pink? It almost felt like a blank slate, whereas most mortals were tinged by the dark stains of their own sins and desires. It made Amatricina's eye twitch slightly but she stayed her anger. Her curiosity at the strange being was outweighing her desire to be rid of it, for now.

The odd little pinkling introduced herself warmly, announcing her name as Zam and her race as a Majin, whatever that was. Amatricina raised an armored hand to her chin, rubbing it slightly as she mulled over the revelation. She had expected a more thorough explanation, and a name with more syllables. "Zam the Majin." The demoness said with mild exasperation. "Could you perhaps tell me more about yourself? Elaborate in more detail. I will answer your questions, then I expect you to answer mine." She spoke sternly, like a teacher giving clear instructions to a particularly slow pupil. Zam's clear enthusiasm for the conversation gave Amatricina hope this... Majin, would be compliant in her answers. She seemed to have little to hide, she simply lacked the intelligence or maturity to express it.

Amatricina watched the Majin orbit around her like an excitable pink moon around a curvaceous but rather annoyed molten planet. When they met at eye level she noted the particular pupil and iris coloration of the girl. It was reminiscent of that of many demons, yet her bizarre ki did not distinctly feel demonic. It simply felt strange, unique, enigmatic. "Yes Zam, of course I have a name. Everything has a name, even if you don't know it." Amatricina placed a hand on her expansive chest, beaming with pride as she spoke. "It is a 'big name', I suppose. My name is Amatricina. And my titles are many, though for you just know that I am Queen of the Demons." Amatricina did not wish to overwhelm the Majin with such 'advanced' words as 'warlord', 'eldest', or 'avaricious'. Her most distinguished title alone would suffice, for now.

"As to where I am from, I hail from the Demon Realm. It is a..." Amatricina stumbled for a suitable word that was simpler than 'dimension.' "...place that exists opposite this realm. It can only be visited by magic portal, and is home to the majority of demons. I rule as its Queen, because I am by far the strongest demon." The thought briefly occurred to her she may overwhelm Zam's simple mind yet with her words. Amatricina waited an ample length of time for the thoughts to properly be absorbed into the Majin's head before she continued. "My 'tingle' as you call it, is my aura. You have one too... and yours feels strange. I'd very much like to know why that is. My aura is warm because I am a Fire Demon, and the element of fire is my affinity. At full strength it is like the surface of the sun. You do not want to experience that Zam." With that said, Amatricina waited to see how the Majin handled her brief lecture.

When next Zam spoke, Amatricina's expression changed from ever curious to increasingly annoyed. The enthusiastic child was clearly far too stupid to be of any real use to her. It could not even pronounce her name completely. Amatricina herself had not been called 'Ama' in over seventeen hundred years. Her mother abandoned it as a pet name for her when she reached a century old, and her youngest siblings learned to cease calling her it as quickly as they could formulate her full name. "Yes." The demoness said sternly, groaning as the words left her lips. "You may call me Ama." She allowed the Majin, only because she did not desire to see it stumble over a five syllable name any longer than needed.

Amatricina could figuratively feel her brain cells committing suicide one by one as she stood silently and watched the wheels grind slowly in Zam's head. The girl's mind was nearly void of thoughts. The demoness attempted to probe her via telepathy, but the total absence of any mental barriers quickly turned her off the prospect. It was like probing the thoughts of an animal, beneath her. Whatever was actually going on in that empty head, she did not wish to know. Amatricina was particularly irritated that Zam did not even know what the sun was. One orbited her planet for Tartaros' sake! A vein throbbed slightly at the Demon Queen's forehead, and she sighed heavily, exhaling a puff of black smoke as she did so.

"Zam." Amatricina stated coldly. "The sun is the ball of light in the sky. If is... very very very very hot. You do not want to touch it, or you burn to death." This conversation was fast losing its novelty. The demon did not come to this world to lecture a child on the name of their own damned star. It took great mental strain to remain calm while speaking with Zam. When the Majin herself finally spoke, it was precisely what Amatricina did not want to hear. Useless, trivial information. She lived in the same city Carambolis' fleet had once arrived at Earth at, She like activities typical of a warrior. Was her's a warrior race? Was it even a race, or just one pink imbecile? The last bit though made Amatricina's eyes go wide. Not the word itself, but the fact it was three syllables long. She did not think Zam could manage such a feat. What followed was further butchery of the common universal language, and more naive ignorance.

Amatricina just sighed, then a slow sinister smile crept across her face. "Very interesting Zam. All good to know." She reached a hand out, tenderly patting the girl on the head. Her body was squishy and rubbery, though Amatricina could not feel its texture fully through her gauntlets. "Your aura is the energy field you emit with your ki, it grows stronger as does your power level. Your ki, strange as it is, is neither demonic, nor divine. Not that you understood any of that. You are an enigma to me, a riddle up until now I desired to solve." More gentle patpats, as Zam would call them. All the while the demoness gave her a malicious smile, which she'd likely interpret as friendly. "I've been to East City, it's quaint. I can see why you like it there." The demoness chuckled, she was humoring herself more than Zam with this conversation, one sided as it was.

"We have a lot in common Zam. We both like flying, fighting, snacking, and destruction. Except you likely didn't even understand that fourth word." Amatricina patted slower, thump....thump...thump. Until her hand was simply resting against Zam's forehead. "You claim to be immortal, Majin Zam? Let us test that claim." The demoness cooed soothingly, ruby ki pooling at her palm. The air crackled with ebon lightning, and the demon's gaze was punch drunk on maliciousness. "Goodbye Zam." She said sweetly, blasting the Majin point blank with an energy blast of demonic ki. The energy wave evaporated what remaining snow clung to the mountain, burrowing a hole deep into the mountainside and blasting out the far end.

No trace of Zam was left, and her power level had seemingly vanished. "Immortal." Amatricina scoffed to herself, reaching down and plucking up the Dragonball from the ground with her now free hand. She held it aloft, inspecting it lovingly, before pressing it deep into her expansive cleavage to secure it snugly between her bosoms. Two down... and five more to go. Amatricina let out a chuckle to herself. An immortal being, just wandering in the snow with a Dragonball. The audacity of it, and to boot, it was as dumb as a child. She sighed, truly that had been enough comedy for an afternoon.

Amatricina was gathering the Dark Energy in her free hand to carve her way home when her eyes went wide. She could sense it, that damnable strange ki of the Majin. Where was it coming from? Her eyes darted left to right, scanning for the source as she tried to pinpoint it. It was coming from... all around her, and coalescing at one point. The demoness flicked her wrist, dispelling the ruinous energy it held back into her form. She wanted to observe what exactly was going on here. This Majin creature, this 'Zam', had more tricks up her non-existent sleeves than her intellect let on. Perhaps there was some truth to her claims, perhaps. To the demon's surprise the strange, magical being was reconstituting from seemingly nothing. Had portions of her body simply survived the blast? Or was the magic of her soul able to re-materialize lost tissue without being forced on to the Other World? It was a vexing display, and Amatricina stood in silence idly fingering the orb in her hand as she watched.

It was fascinating, how the Majin repopulated her physical form. This was not how Amatricina did so, using Dark Energy to force cellular regeneration to occur at an astronomical rate. Nor was it how the Namekians did so, by rapidly regrowing their own missing limbs with some biological adaptation. Zam wasn't really regrowing anything, she was just gaining gelatinous mass that seemed to force itself into her previous shape. Like taffy being pulled into a Zam shaped piece, until with finally with an audible pop she had returned as good as knew, albeit naked for the brief moment before it discolored its own flesh and formed it into the shape and appearance of its airy attire. With that, Majin Zam was back, unharmed and unhinged.

Amatricina snickered a bit when the creature began to literally vent steam. It reminded herself ever so slightly of her kinds' tendency to snort jets of flame from their nostrils when greatly angered. The Majin's power level rose steadily, even against the wild fluctuations within its elastic ki. Its anger was unleashing its latent power, though Amatricina did not move a muscle in response. Even without an accurate reading, she could easily tell it was an order of magnitude below that of her greatly suppressed power level. Even still, it put Zam a thousandfold stronger than the average Earthling; no, closer to a hundred thousandfold it seemed.

The Demon Queen was humored by the nursery rhyme Zam shouted, as if it were a celestial law to be obeyed by the whole of the cosmos. The now constant battery of her bountiful bosoms however, was less appreciated. They wobbled mightily beneath her armored brassiere, though the magic garment kept everything perfectly in place despite the motion of her ocean. "Losers weepers." Amatricina said simply, flaring her aura enough to knock the Majin on her butt from the Demon Queen's kiai. She chortled slightly at the sight of knocking the angered Majin flat onto her ass. Shame there wasn't still snow for added comedic effect. Hard rocks would do. All things considered, it was far from the worst Amatricina could have done to the child. Her curiosity was shielding the Majin from the vast majority of the demon's wrath.

"This, 'shiny treasure', as you call it, is rightfully mine." Amatricina said commandingly, glaring down at Zam like a scolding parent. "It is part of my collection, and I am recovering what is mine. You simply got to its destination before I could arrive. The Strong take, and the Weak give. That is the one true law of the universe." With that said the demon's eyes remained locked on the little Majin's now crimson gaze. It was such a demon expression, was this creature a demon not born of her realm? She had never heard of Majins living among the feeble devils of Hell. Was was she like the Makyans? Demons that had used sorcery to move their planet outside the Demon Realm. A sinister thought crept into the demon's mind. A way to coax more information from the girl.

"Zam." She said soothingly, feigning sweetness to the Majin girl once more. "I will give you an even better shiny treasure. A bigger one, filled with a magic flame.... but, I will only do so if you tell me more about yourself. How old are you Zam? Who are your parents? Where were you born? Are there others like you, and where do they live? Who is your leader, or the strongest among you? Answer enough of my questions and I shall grant you your prize." With that said Amatricina held out her hands, drawing forth Dark Magic to create a large obsidian orb, roughly the size of a bowling ball. It swirled with black smoke and hellfire beneath its ebony surface. The Fire Demon equivelant to a crystal ball, Amatricina was quite fond of giving these magic gems out to mortals in exchange for their cooperation. Her dread mother had shown her how to materialize them some eons ago when Amatricina herself was but a girl. Even now, she continued to put her mother's lessons to good use.

"There is no law called 'dibs'!" Amatricina barked in reply, why she was even debating this with the Majin girl was simply beyond her. It made her blood boil, which was an incredible feat as her blood was perpetually at molten temperatures. The rejection of her own offering sent a searing jolt of anger through the demon's spine, and she crushed her obsidian orb in hand into a brilliant shower of arcane needles. They fell to the ground to become the sacred shards of the Shikon Jewel, probably. "The only one being stupid here is you, Child." Amatricina stated irritably, crossing her arms and turning up her nose to the irritating little goblin known as a Majin. She was more than half way tempted to blast Zam into ash once more. It was stress relieving.

Amatricina listened with clenched fists and thinly veiled rage as Zam recounted what little she yet knew of her own kind. Again, it was idle fluff. Nothing of substance. No rulers, no royal lineage, no home planet, not even a place her race resided. The demoness was especially taken aback by Majins grotesque attempt to para mime an elderly Earthling man. It almost distracted the demoness from the stupidity of what Zam actually said. The demon stood silently, mentally trying to decipher Zam's attempt at mimicry. She sighed heavily, before addressing the imbecilic girl. "So your kind does not have parents. I assume then you are an orphan... it would do a lot to explain your vocabulary. And if I'm translating correctly, the 'origins of the Majin are a mystery'. In a way, that is the most useful thing you've told me, and yet it is you telling me nothing. Astounding." Amatricina thought briefly on who this 'stronger' Majin was who was sleeping. She assumed Zam meant more than just a nap. Some kind of slumber or hibernation. Though as weak as Zam proved to be, the demon quickly moved on from the thought.

An armored gauntlet caught the rubbery hand midair as it reached out towards her ample cleavage for the second time now. Zam should count herself lucky it was all born of her naivety and ignorance. Amatricina loathed unwanted sexual contact more than almost anything, and were that the Majin's intent she'd currently be whipped around by her arm like a pinwheel before being slammed face first into the mountainside. Luckily, Amatricina saw her for what she was. Just a greedy, self centered, ignorant little child. "The only thing stupid here, Zam, is you." The Demon Queen said with a slight grin, holding the Majin at arm's reach. "You are not getting back 'the shiny.'" She added, huffing out two puffs of black smoke from her nostrils. Her crimson eyes then proceeded to glow red, charging Amatricina's deadly Burning Gaze as she gathered demonic ki. She fired the devastating lances of ki, two lasers of demonic energy slicing clean through Zam's arm before exploding upon contact with her torso.

Amatricina discarded the severed limb, which wiggled and spasmed like a fish out of water on the ground. She then raised her hands, summoning more dark magic as she materialized another orb. This one far larger than the first, larger across than the demoness was tall. Bright pink, with cotton candy swirls along its shimmering surface. A brilliant shine to it and bright red stars on its forward face. The demon's pride had been wounded slightly for the rejection of her gift. This was now a personal matter. She would create something this Majin liked, or find the limits of her 'immortality.' Whichever came first. Amatricina crossed her legs and sat atop the massive pink gem, waiting patiently for the strange Majin girl to reconstitute once more.

"Hmm?" Amatricina said simply when Zam piped up about seeing something 'cool'. The demoness did not actually know what cool was a euphemism for, her own vernacular held many archaic terms and idioms. For the demon was long lived and her own culture was very slow and ponderous to adapt to linguistic changes. She assumed it just meant 'interesting', as most words mortals used, like neat, dope, and shwifty all seemed to. There was something sinister about the Majin as she spoke, a certain darkness swirled around her heart that Amatricina found far more interesting than anything the girl could possibly hope to offer her. Without warning though Zam raised her arms and condensed a massive blast of her strange Majin ki, firing it nearly point blank upon the Demon Queen.

Though Amatricina was caught momentarily off guard, not expecting such an attack from the Majin, she was nonetheless still more than prepared. As the energy blast crashed against the Demon Queen, her own demonic aura drank in much of the radiant ki that fueled the powerful blast. As her Demonic Siphon absorbed the brunt of the blow, she raised a hand forward and pushed against the beam. It washed over her like waters being parted, and Amatricina simply stared silently into the shifting pink maelstrom of energy as it crashed around her. When the attack finally finished, Amatricina was left unharmed, if not annoyed. The landscape behind her could not say the same, and Zam had carved a long gash only the length of their own mountain ridge with her attack.

The demoness stood there for a moment, reflecting on the strange taste of the Majin ki she'd absorbed from Zam with the girl's blast. It was unlike anything she'd ever tasted in ki before, and not necessarily in a good way. The godly ki wielded by the divine entities of the universe, the Kais and even lesser Shinjin was the sweetest ambrosia to Amatricina. It was like a pure nectar, a proverbial mana from Heaven to her palette. She'd have gorged herself on the young Shinjin Niha, but the delicate waif was barely a morsel to the Queen of the Demon Realm. Luckily for the girl too, the Namekians had held other plans that day, sparing the child from her grim fate. Meanwhile, demonic ki was an all too familiar taste to the Demon Queen. Where divinity tasted sweet, demonic tasted sour. Luckily for Amatricina, she loved intense sour tastes, and found the ki over her own kind quite enjoyable. The normal ki wielded by mortal races however, was a mixed lot. Its taste waxed and waned by the individual. Different races had different tendencies, she'd found the energy of a Super Saiyan to be greatly preferable. Though by and large it depended on how pure of heart the victim was, the purer the sweeter it seemed.

Regardless, Zam's strange energy was neither sour, nor sweet. It was something in between, a strange shifting taste that was almost taffy-like in quality. Amatricina did not know yet if she enjoyed it, as it was an utterly new experience. But the blast had also been dripping with magic, which meant it stung far more than it should have. The Demon Queen narrowed her gaze on the child, magic still crackling at her fingertips. Her power level had nearly doubled from before. It seemed Zam had great inner potential, which she could tap into at will. Amatricina wondered what the fullest extent of that potential was. But first, she had other plans for the child.

Amatricina smiled sinfully, taking slow steps towards Zam across the now smoldering mountainside. "Now that was interesting." She practically purred, placing a hand at her hips. "You are full of surprises Zam. Very strong, and very magical. I like what I have seen, in spite of your... personality." The curvaceous demoness made her way close to Zam again, reaching out once more to softly pat her on the head. "You're a very special little girl, aren't you Zam? You are not getting your shiny back, not unless you can beat me. But, if you like candy, I can give you that instead." Amatricina leaned down close, putting her hands on her knees as she bent over to meet Zam at eye level. "I can get you all the candy you could want. All you'll have to do... is take it." The Demon Queen said sweetly, putting on motherly innocence to lull the child into a false sense of security. Not that it seemed needed, Zam's mood shifted more often than the wind. "Deal?" Amatricina added, lips curling into a sinister smile.

"Yes yes Zam, you're the strongest their is. So strong in fact I easily absorbed your attack." Amatricina said nonchalantly, waving a head dismissively as her other patted the young child. This Majin creature, it was so horribly absent minded, its thoughts drifting from one topic to the next with its every breath. It was worse than a child, as even when she was a young demon Amatricina had been significantly more intelligent and focused. Zam claimed to be ten or so years old, at that age Amatricina had already begun mastering Dark Magic, fought several siblings to the death, and studied for hours a day under her dread father's watchful tutelage. Zam though, Amatricina highly doubted this Grandpa Gohan or Netto had taught her much of anything. In one ear, out the other. The girl was literally full of steam, clearly she had an empty head. Amatricina chuckled at her own joke, withdrawing her hand from the Majin.

"Deal it is." Amatricina said sweetly, already looking forward to the idea of corrupting this strange magical Majin. "Indeed Zam, let's go get some candy." The demoness said sinisterly, raising her hand and pointing to the east. "That way is a city, a large one at that. Several hundred miles east of here, nestled in the mountains. I have been there before, and they have plenty of candy." Amatricina was of course referring to North City, the frigid industrial hub of the northern continent. There was far more than candy there, it was a regional center of commerce. But, Zam was an idiot and likely would assume commerce was a type of food. So Amatricina kept things short and sweet. Amatricina's demonic aura flared, and she lifted herself into the air like a blazing meteor of ki.

"I'll race you Zam." She said with a chuckle, as if it were even a contest. Amatricina would only use five percentage of her power or so, it should be more than enough to keep pace with Zam without totally blowing her out of the way. With that Amatricina took off, flying eastward at blistering speeds soaring through mountain passes and frigid valleys. The sonic booms of her flight triggering ever more avalanches in her wake. Woe to those caught on the slopes below, though they were hardly her concern. She withdrew the magic orb from her cleavage, holding it aloft and inspecting it with ruby eyes. Two down... five more to go. Then she would have her second wish. She could scarcely think what to wish for when the day came. If push came to shove, Immortality was an interesting prospect. Perhaps that was how Majin Zam had acquired her own? Amatricina looked back and saw a pink meteor hurtling after her. Why zigzagged through the air instead of flying straight, she did not know. But it was keeping pace, mostly, and Amatricina lazily matched speed until she was slightly faster than the girl. The lights of the distant city slowly emerging on the horizon far to the east.

Amatricina landed gracefully besides the Majin child, shaking her head and sighing at the creature's whimsical absentmindedness. "What exactly is 'Nyoom?'" The demoness commented, pausing to think for a moment. "On second thought, I don't need to know." She noted the magical being even shrugged off injury unlike other creatures, impacting the ground Zam appeared to simply squish and contort to absorb the kinetic energy of her impact. It was frankly sickening. Majin Zam did not appear to have bones, or blood, or anything resembling the make up of the vast majority of organic life, mortal or otherwise. She was seemingly composed entirely of her strange pink rubbery substance. That was, aside from a few key things like her hair, eyes, or teeth. The girl's clothes even appeared made of her gummy body substance, rather than magically materialized the way Amatricina created her own attire. She briefly wondered if they had the same rubbery texture to them as Zam's skin did.

With a great sigh the demon strode up to the trash covered girl, lifting her up by the scruff of her neck and setting her on her feet. "Follow me." She said simply, as she began to lazily walk down the city streets. The two had made quite a commotion, what with Zam's arrival and Amatricina's imposing figure. Earthlings were used to aliens on their soil, but magical beings they were not. They attracted quite a few stares and many gave them a wide berth. The Demon Queen was silently searching the throngs of people, the teaming masses for one earthling who was rife with the sin of gluttony. Unsurprisingly, Amatricina did not find her target 'walking', but rather driving his personal car down the street while he was busy gorging himself on processed food.

In one fluid motion the demoness disappeared, shifting out of existence with her Bunkai Teleport and reappearing in front of the man's car with her armored heel extended. The vehicle collided with her boot, burying the demon's foot deep in its engine block and deploying the airbags as the windshield shattered instantly. Amatricina smiled, leaning forward and placing her hand on the crumpled hood of the vehicle. Her eyes flashed with sinister black light, and tendrils of Dark Energy ensnared the man's arms as he cried out in panic. The demon dragged him forward enough to meet him eye to eye, a wide grin on her face. "Tell me Mortal. Where is the nearest candy shop?" Amatricina purred in feigned innocence.

"Wha-wha-what?" The obese glutton stammered out in response.

Amatricina glowered, annoyed at the simpering fool's cowardice. "A candy shop. A vendor that sells candy. Sweets, chocolates, confections. I assume you know of these, you're fat enough I'd be stunned if you didn't."

"I, uh. I mean. Two blocks down, take a left. On fifth and main. There's tons of places to eat. There's a fudge shop too! Please lady, don't kill me. I have a wife and kids." The man begged, unable to clamp his hands together to beg for mercy.

The demoness scoffed, repulsed by such groveling. Still, she had gotten what she needed. "Good. See how peaceful things are when you are compliant? You'll live... though your wife is cheating on you and your children do not love you. Furthermore... I need not kill you, heart disease already is." Amatricina added nonchalantly, speaking as if she had divined this truth. Though she could gaze into the hearts and souls of others, and sense the sin and evil within them. She was hardly omniscient. Amatricina merely sensed the man's great sin of Envy, the way he felt emasculated by his out of shape body, and the many insecurities that riddled his mind. She told him what he feared most, and confirmed suspicions in the man's mind. He was left to muse in silence for a moment in self reflection. He then came to many realizations, pulling out his phone and panicking as he hastily dialed some number. Amatricina did not care, she was already sauntering away. Even as onlookers watched the display in surprise and confusion.

"Come with me Zam... I have found the place that has our candy." Amatricina said with a haughty giggle, placing her arm around the Majin's slender shoulders to guide her as they walked. "I want to teach you a very important lesson Zam. A lesson in power, and taking what you want. You're a smart Majin. I think you'll learn quickly." With that she gave the child a motherly smile, gently patting her head with her other hand twice as the two continued their leisurely stroll. It would be a few blocks to this fudge shop. Luckily earthlings were sensible builders, and their roads and streets tended to follow predictable grid patterns. It made navigation easy, even for one as ignorant of their planet as the Demon Queen herself.

"Fascinating." Amatricina said flatly in response to Zam's elaboration of 'nyoom.' It was perhaps the boldest lie of Amatricina had told in her incredibly long life. Truly, Zam was a marvel of childlike wonder, strange unknown power, and magic the likes of which the Demon Queen had never encountered. It was just the most damnable shame she was such a simpleton for it. If Zam were more powerful, or more intelligent, she could be a threat on a planetary scale. If she were as strong as Amatricina, and half as intelligent, she could be a threat at a cosmic level. Amatricina quite liked the idea of that, even if it was an extremely unlikely event. This 'Majin' creature before her, threatening the entire universe? It was laughable at best.

Amatricina watched as the child sniffed at the air. Was her sense of smell that impeccable to pick up a candy store from blocks away? Amatricina sniffed the air as well, and smelled nothing but the fear on the mortals around them and the cold northerly air. She gaze Zam a questioning side eyed glance as if the Majin knew something she did not. The innocent look on Zam's pink face and the empty thoughts that swirled in her head told Amatricina clear as day there was no greater meaning to this display than what was on the tin. No matter, as Zam obediently followed Amatricina as they walked. Well, Zam floated alongside like a pink moon orbiting a red planet. The Demon Queen preferred the feel of her armored heels on solid ground. Flying to her was a means of locomotion, or a combat tool, not something done idly simply because it could be.

The Demon Queen was again vexed by what Zam said next. Stoppy Car? Was this a game the child frequently played? What a delightfully destructive pastime. It made the Fire Demon giggle slightly as Zam elaborated on the rules of the game. "I am a natural at many things, Child. I shall master this 'Stoppy Car' as I have mastered far more difficult tasks." Amatricina boasted, placing a hand on her expansive chest as she spoke. When the girl patted her side, Amatricina was briefly irritated, but the total innocence of the gesture led her to just rolling her eyes. She was far too used to unwanted physical contact being of a more... sexual nature. Her thoughts wandered back to the time Dain Sincara had slapped her rear while trying to be flirtatious with her. The planet Arcose was presently missing one of its moons as a direct result of that 'intimate' gesture...

"What? What is it Zam you can stop that now." Amatricina said irritably to the girl, pushing the young Majin away from her side with a hand. "Hmm... Oh right, Stoppy Car. That one?" She replied with a grin, pointing to the antique red sports car that still drove on rubber tires. These earthling primitives had not yet fully embraced hover craft technology it seemed, some vestiges of wheeled vehicles remained within their society. "Alright then, tell me how many points this is forth." With that Amatricina vanished from sight, disappearing as she seemingly faded away into countless cubes. A Bunkai Teleport, an advanced demonic technique wielded by only the mightiest of her kind.

Amatricina reappeared, materializing in front of the red sports car. Her right foot swung out, and the car buried Amatricina's foot firmly in its engine block. Airbags deployed, and the driver was knocked unconscious or killed by the sudden stop. It mattered little, as Amatricina help no desire to speak with this mortal. This was merely for fun, and with that Amatricina withdrew her foot from the wreckage. She craned back her leg, unleashing it in a savage kick that sent a rush of hurricane force winds ripping down the city streets. The car was impacted with the force of a major airliner crashing into a landmine factory, and sent hurtling into the air in a burning meteorite of wreckage and debris. The largest portion of the car, the frame and much of the body, remaining relatively in one peace. It soared high over the city skylines, reaching thousands of feet up into the air before arcing gracefully for a moment. It then began hurtling downwards, crashing elsewhere on the edge of the city in what was no doubt a very fiery impact.

The demoness chuckled slightly to herself, admiring her handiwork. Nothing remained but a few bits and pieces of the front end of the car, and leaked oil and gas staining the city street. Traffic ground to a stop, and onlookers stared in abject terror at the sudden and unprovoked display of demonic strength. With that Amatricina wiped her hands against her other, lazily sauntering back to Zam as she did so. The demoness grinned, looking down at her bright eyed enigmatic companion. "There you have it Majin Zam. One 'Stoppy Car.' How many points was that one forth? It was quite the kick, though I could have done better. I didn't want it to completely disintegrate on me." She looked proudly at the young Majin, eagerly awaiting the judge's final verdict.
