Chapter 3
"Ah, so you are Gohan. Please come over here." The boy did as he was told. He then felt a large hand come to rest on his head. "Yes, I can tell that your intentions are noble and your heart is true. You also have a hidden power, the greatest I have ever felt. I will uncover it for you."
White flames surrounded the boy. He let out a startled cry as the last of his hidden power came to life. Anemone had the strongest feeling of déjà vu when she saw it. What was it about such a sight that made her feel like she'd been in her friend's shoes?
Nail came up quietly and placed a hand on her shoulder. You must remember.
Remember what? the girl inquired with a tone of curiosity.
When the demon came. Guru knew that you would be the only one able to defeat it, but only after your full potential at that time was awakened.
I remember now. Everything that happened. Arigato, Nail-sensei.
Vegeta started shouting from where he was, outside the building. The three warriors came out, confronting him. Gohan's glare caused the Prince to laugh. "You think you can take me on, boy? I'll get straight to the point. Where is the Dragon Ball?" he cruelly demanded.
"I don't have it."
This single statement caused Vegeta to lunge forward. He grabbed Gohan by the collar of his outfit. "If you don't tell me where it is right now, I'll pop you like a grape!" His voice was rough with the anger he felt. He would not let them keep him from his wish if he could help it.
Suddenly, Dende popped his head out of the door. "Guru just told me that there is a powerful force heading straight for us!" he exclaimed. The Prince dropped the boy in surprise.
"It's probably Goku." Krillin commented, relaxed. He didn't know of the evils of those who had arrived before any of them.
"Lie, that's not Kakkarott. Not Kakkarott at all!"
Anemone trembled. The dark powers she was sensing were even worse than the demon's power. And he had nearly destroyed the planet. What would they do to Namek?
"He's right. I, too, sense an evil presence." Nail murmured.
"It is the Ginyu Force. Five warriors, each one as powerful as I am." Then Vegeta lost all of his composure. "If I'm immortal, we can beat them. Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I promise!"
Krillin looked like he was about ready to refuse his enemy, but then Anemone stepped in. "There is something that you need to know about these Dragon Balls. Since this is the original set, there are three wishes." Her tone was soft, showing that she did not wish to get any of them angry.
The small Chikyuu-jin warrior turned back to the Saiya-jin. "I'm not making any promises, but we'll get it just in case."
Just as they were about to leave, Nail halted them. "Anemone could be of some help to you. If or when those other warriors show up."
Vegeta growled under his breath. Great. Another rug rat to be wary of.

Bulma sat in her chair, fast asleep. Then she let out a sudden yelp as she fell. "Krillin, what on Chikyuu are you doing?" The rope tied about her ankle quivered as the knots about the ball were untied.
"Gomen, Bulma. But I need the Dragon Ball."
Vegeta landed next to him. "Come with me." he commanded. The two lifted off, rejoining the children hovering in the air.
"WAIT!!" the woman below them cried. She then muttered a few choice words under her breath, and also wondered aloud what they were doing.
They flew to the place where the other spheres were hidden. "In here." Vegeta smirked as landed and ran along the ground. "Well, what the hell are you waiting for?"
Anemone looked to the sky, as she had sensed something. "It's too late! They are here!" she cried. Then the villains landed right in front of the group. They were in a bit of a formation that had absolutely no fighting or defense ability whatsoever.
"Now, Vegeta, long time, no see." Ginyu chuckled. The other four started to laugh as well.
"Hey, I just found the other five balls." Recoome boomed.
"Vegeta, you just hand over the other two." the Captain declared.
"And I suppose you want me to go back quietly with you to Frieza." he growled.
"That's the plan."
"To Hell with your plan!!!!!!" The saiya-jin warrior then leapt up into the sky and threw the sphere as hard as he could. Burter leapt up into the air after it. With intense speed at his disposal, he caught the ball then came back.
"Nice try, but Burter is an excellent center fielder." Ginyu declared.
Vegeta turned to Krillin. "Destroy it!" he roared.
"Nani?" the Chikyuu warrior cried before throwing a punch at it.
Suddenly, Anemone saw everyone freeze, except for the toad-like creature. This creature ran forward and stole the orb from her friend. That little sneak. That does it. He's gonna be toast if he tries that one again.
Krillin let out a startled sound as the effects of the freeze wore off. "So it's true, what they say."
"Are you going to tell us?"
"They say that Guldo can freeze time. You must be careful of what you think around him. He's got the power of ESP." Vegeta explained.
"I'll take these back to Frieza. Just remember to capture Vegeta alive. Do what you will with the others." Ginyu commanded. He lifted off, carrying the magical orbs with telekinesis.
Guldo then stepped forward, challenging the warriors. The three small ones tensed up, it was clear to even those who couldn't read minds that they weren't going to give up. "Damn. And here I was hoping that they would give up without a fight." the toad creature whined.
"Ready guys?" Krillin called out.
"Hai!" the two young warriors chorused.
"Let's turn up the heat!"
The trio screamed as their ki flames enveloped them. Recoome let out an impressed whistle. Vegeta then felt his attention being drawn to the small girl's ki. It was impressive for one so young. She hadn't even been trained as the royal family should be, yet she was much more powerful than he'd been at her age.
No wonder she could counter act the Time Freeze. Her power nullifies it, but only for her now. The Prince felt the effects of another one, but, with his mind's eye, he saw Anemone knock the evil creature to the ground. She is definately who these tags claim she is. My father's younger sister is her mother... Anemone is my cousin!? Now I know I am not alone. He felt a small amount of relief. She, also, was an heir to Vejitasei. No matter that their homeworld was now spacedust, he knew that if she had escaped, then what his father had been planning with his parents and the seer had worked. Their race would not be extinct with the deaths of those who were grown.
During the time that he had been startled, the small warriors were caught in a body bind. Guldo soared up into his own attack and pummeled each one of them. But when he got to the saiya-jin girl, there was a surprise in store for him. Although Anemone couldn't escape, she could move about slightly. She used this advantage to hit the evil creature right in the gut.
The toad-creature fell from them, holding his burning stomach. How the Hell did she do that? The body bind should've held her in place as it is with the other two.
"Hey, Guldo, if you don't finish them off soon, you're off the Force." Recoome threatened.
