Chapter 4


"You can't kick me off of the force! These guys are dead meat!" Guldo cried. He then turned a huge tree into a skewer. "Hope you like shiscabob!" he cried as he flung it at them.

NO! I can't move! Neither can they! What are we going to do?! Anemone thought in alarm.

Vegeta's eyes became clouded with rage. Oh no you don't. Saiya-jins stand up for each other. He was desperately trying to distance the fact that this girl was family. The warrior leapt forward then fired a ki beam right through the neck of his adversary. This made the freeze vanish, freeing the three small warriors. They dove away from the tree quickly. The Prince then blasted the evil warrior into the after life.

Recoome let out an impressed sound. "My turn." he muttered to his companions. Then he turned to the saiya-jin. "Hey, Vegeta, now it's show time!" He then got into the most ridiculous pose that the smaller warriors had ever seen.

Their attention was suddenly attracted by the loud roar Vegeta gave off. His steel blue ki flames surrounded him. This caused Anemone to blink in shock. His power is similar to someone else's. But who's? The memory is more like a dream. The massive free-for-all followed her cousin's power-up. When it ended, the small warriors could see that Vegeta had nothing left, not even to enough defend himself.

"It's been fun. RECOOME BLAST OF DOOM!!!"

"Let's help him!" Krillin cried.

"Hai!" Gohan replied. Just as the attack came out of the evil warrior's mouth, Gohan tackled Vegeta, and Krillin kicked Recoome, causing him to fall. "Vegeta, are you all right?"

"I was until you intervened." he growled.

Anemone walked over to them. "Don't be angry with them, Vegeta. Even I could tell you needed help."

He blinked at her tone. She'd inherited that no-nonsense tone of voice from her mother. Many times, he recalled, had she used that tone of voice to pull him back to reality.

The evil warrior Krillin knocked down and let out a moan. "Did anyone catch the number of that bus?" He flipped up. "Oh, it was you." Then he kicked the Chikyuu warrior, causing him to go flying. "Awe, too bad. I thought he would go twice as far."

Gohan glared angrily at him. "You...you hurt my friend!" His power went up in a split second. The little boy gave the lumbering giant a strike to remember. Suddenly, the battle took a turn for the worse for the boy. He fell down, his power spent. There had been a sickening crack. From long experience, she knew it was the sound of a breaking bone. She leapt in front of her friend, ready to defend him should help not come soon enough.

He's a little faster than I thought. But there is someone coming who is even faster than Burter from what I can tell. Anemone mused. She could tell his power was great, yet he was hiding the truth of it from those with scouters.

Goku showed up, startling the other warriors. Gracefully, Anemone stepped aside, allowing father to approach son. "Gohan, are you all right? He went all out, gave everything he had. That's my boy. Here, take this." The grown warrior gently pushed a seed into his son's mouth.

He's too relaxed. That isn't good. Vegeta thought.

"Hey, buster, don't you know who the Ginyu Force is?" Recoome demanded. He was ignored by the saiya-jin that had recently arrived.

"Daddy, you made it!" Gohan cried happily.

"Yes, I did. Looks like you roughed up that big guy a little."

"Yea, and he roughed me up a lot."

"Looks like Krillin was another victim." Goku looked over to the small girl. I wonder who she is. Well, that's one incredible power from one so young. He started to walk over to his friend, when Recoome tried to stop him. The girl knocked the lumbering giant over, allowing her friend and his father to go to the small warrior. Slowly, Recoome got back to his feet. He had not expected such a blow from one so obviously young.

Then the small warrior was given one of the senzu beans. Krillin got up, and stood next to the other two warriors. "Wait here, guys." The saiya-jin walked a little ways away from them. "Hey, Vegeta, catch!" Goku flung the seed through the air, zipping past the lumbering giant. The Prince caught it. He then looked hesitantly from the seed in his hand to his fellow saiya-jin. "Eat it, Vegeta!"

He did as instructed, and was shocked at the results.

"Daddy, where are you going?" the boy inquired.

"To teach that big guy a lesson." No one messes with my friends and family and gets away with it.

Recoome laughed as the saiya-jin approached him. "My name's Recoome, it rhymes with doom and you'll be hurting all to soon. I truly am a man of many talents."

The saiya-jin then smirked. "Well, you will never lay a hand on me."

He started to laugh wildly. "Hey guys! This shrimp says I'll never lay a hand on him. I guess that means I'll use my feet!" The evil warrior turned back to Goku. "Still smiling, pretty boy? Well, you won't be for long."
