NOTES: I'd like to inform you of the fact that the only version of the 'Arrival' that I've seen has Raditz telling Goku that Vejitasei was destroyed three years previously. So, according to that, when the first battle was going on, Anemone was three, during the later saiya-jin saga she was four and now she is five. Gomen nazi about the long wait.
Chapter 5
As Recoome started to power up an attack, Goku lunged forward. His elbow dug into the evil warrior's abdomen, causing him to let out a pained cry. The saiya-jin pulled back, allowing the stricken one to fall. "Sorry, but I saw an opening that just screamed attack." Confused murmurs came from the two other warriors from Chikyuu.
Vegeta's eyes narrowed slightly. What's this? A year ago, this guy didn't even know he was a saiya-jin, and now he's found the Golden Fleece of our entire race. All that power and he desires nothing. He's like a mountain. Impassive. Immobile. And that makes him even harder to defeat. Just because he has no weaknesses. he thought. Then a sharp outcry caught their attention. When they turned around, they saw that Burter had ahold of Anemone.
"Back off, all of you." he hissed. The group complied, backing away.
That's it. I've had enough of this guy. She powered up a simple ki blast. He dropped her like a hot potatoe, but it was too late. There was a massive burn on his abdomen that had been caused by her ki.
"Girl, you are going to wish you had never done that to me!" Burter roared. The others watched in awe as the young amazon kept the Ginyu Force member at bay. With the ease of experience, she blocked his punches and kicks. Each dodge was one they could see she would've been unable to block. Then, her own blows were with the force that many children lacked.
"Burter, that's enough! She's not worth the effort!" Jeice called out. The evil warrior glared at the child before striking her over top of her head. The impact dazed her so badly that she couldn't move from the position that she had fallen in.
Then the evil warriors started to lung at Goku. The warrior only dodged them, causing confusion to run through them. "Hey, you, make a move!" the small orange warrior cried. He looked him right in the eye then punched his nose.
"Jeice, is it bleeding? Be careful, you'll stain your gloves."
"Shut up, Burter." he growled, from behind his hands, then he removed them from his face, glaring at the saiya-jin warrior. "You, cheap shot."
His expression lightened. "Well, you said 'make a move'. I thought that you meant that you were ready to fight."
Gohan rushed over to Anemone. "No, don't try to move. You could be hurt." He looked up, seeing Burter fall from the sky, due to his father kicking him. He cringed. Ow, that had to hurt.
"Man, I'm bad, but not that bad. Sometimes you've got to know when to go, go, go!" Jeice cried. He soared off, back to the ship.
Vegeta quickly killed the remaining members of the Ginyu Force. "Vegeta, what's with you? You know how to receive mercy but not give it." Goku cried.
"You really don't understand. They wouldn't have changed. After recovering they would've tried to kill you and your son." He then spat to the side. Two rapidly approaching ki's caused them to alert. "Kakkarott, they are coming. Help me to locate Frieza."
"Sure." They cast out with their ki sense, looking for the huge dark power the Ice-jin had. "I sense a humongous ki in that direction. There's no mistaking. That's Frieza."
"Oh no! That's the direction that Guru's house is in! And if he's killed, the Dragon Balls disappear!" Krillin cried.
"Nani?" Vegeta demanded.
"The Dragon Balls are linked to Guru because he created them. And when he goes, they go with him." Gohan explained.
Anemone attempted to get up again, but a groan escaped her. An unwelcome darkness blanketed her mind as the evil warriors landed. She felt herself being picked up by the older male saiya-jin. Then the sensations of flight came through to her subconscious.

Vegeta looked down at his cousin as he flew on. I hope that she's all right. They arrived at the ship, and the Prince easily disposed of the guards. He went back to where he'd hidden the girl, then carried her into the infirmary. Once there, he looked her over. Well, she's all right physically. I think I'll just let her sleep. His gaze wandered to her face. She looks like she's having a nightmare.

Anemone stood silently in the darkness. "Lady, to know who you truly are, you must understand who your people were."
"Nani? Who are you?"
"I am King Vegeta. Anemone, you are a saiya-jin, born of the Royal line. Your mother was my younger sister, and your father a Lord to our people. Many would call you a lady, but you are a Princess, another in line for the throne."
The King then appeared, causing her to gasp. "I see you remember what I looked like. Know that the saiya-jins are a warrior race, so your power increases after each battle."
She gasped sharply. "Something's wrong with Nail! He's never done this before!"
"Then it's time for you to go."
*~
She sat up sharply. Where am I? Then she saw Vegeta leaning up against the regen tank, asleep. Even now he's intimidating. Silently, she edged away from the side of the table closer to her cousin. Yet, somehow, she was beginning to understand why he was that way.
