Krillin let out a sigh of relief. "Now that we've found you, Bulma won't bite our heads off."
"Yea, and Vegeta won't give you a one way ticket." Anemone replied then started laughing. Gohan joined in, realizing what she meant. Suddenly, her laughter stopped. She looked paler than what she should have. The impact of her dream had just hit her. She couldn't tell anyone what she'd seen. Not one person was to know. It could cause a paradox that couldn't be fixed.
Mia gently laid a hand on the girl's shoulder. "Is something bothering you?"
"Nothing much. I just...had an unusual dream." she replied, purposely vauge. It was quite clear to those who knew her well that she was hiding something from them. The amazon knew that it wasn't right to tell them of the threat that would come in the future. Someone else would have to do that, if what she felt from Mirai Gohan was correct. A young warrior, around sixteen years of age, would come and let them know.
Kayura let out a startled gasp as she turned away from her scrying glass. "Anemone, where did you say you were taken from?" Her voice trembled slightly. The city she'd just seen had many more people than Toyama did.
"West Capital. Why?"
"That's the city that Taulpa has captured. You mustn't go back alone."
"Maybe we should take the fight to him. I've had enough of him bringing the battle to us." Ryo declared, as he planted his fist in his opposite hand. The group went outside, then got startled as the three from West Capital took to the sky without anything lifting them. "Suit up, guys. This looks like it'll be a long day." He suited up into the armour of Wildfire, startling those hovering in the air.
They samurai were lifted into the sky by the powers of the Ancient clan. "Lead the way." Kayura declared.

"What a mess. Taulpa trashed it." Kento declared. Anemone felt tears fill her eyes. The building she was closest to had been home for her for just about a year. And now it was in desperate need of repairs. A muffled voice came from underneath a mass of rubble then it shifted. "Ow!" It had cried.
"Yamcha, is that you?" Krillin called.
"Hai, Bulma and Piccolo are here too." They came out of the mess, and had startled looks on their faces when they saw the young amazon.
"Anemone!" Bulma cried. She ran over to the woman, then hugged her. The force of her lunge knocked her to the rubble-covered ground. "You are so rambunctious. Such a toddler."
A delighted laugh came from her. "You wouldn't want to see a saiya-jin toddler. From what Nail's told me, I was pretty destructive whenever I threw a fit." Her reminder was well-placed, as Bulma burst out laughing with her.
Within Piccolo, Nail chuckled softly. She's telling them the truth. Fortunately, her tantrums could be contained. With difficulty, but it was done. He shook his head in confusion. How could a child who was so cheerful be a violent girl was just too confusing. But then again, he'd seen that side of her on Namek. She'd really laid the smack down on Frieza when he was in a weaker form. Piccolo shifted his gaze to the overcast sky, sensing the darkness that threatened.
Lady Kayura looked on in confusion. A saiya-jin? That's her species? She turned her attentions to the others. Only one among them had energies similar to the girl's. Gohan? He's part saiya-jin? If so, then there must be pure ones left. Then, she nearly smacked herself. Of course there are. Anemone is full-blooded, and she told us about her cousin and another warrior who had defeated an ice-jin tyrant. Both were pure saiya-jins. Yet she kept her species secret. I can understant that, because that's why the Dynasty was after her. She's got powers that humans can never dream of. Taulpa took those powers to restore his own. Kayura alerted. "They're here." Dynasty soldiers surrounded the group, cutting them off from any retreat. Meancingly, they brandished their weapons in an attempt to frighten those they had surrounded. Scythes and chains rattled as swords gleamed in the dim light.
"They're really starting to tick me off!" Kento cried, brandishing his staff angrily.
Ryo slashed through five with the same swipe. "Keep your cool. We have no idea of what he's got in store for us."
That's how you do it. Puncture the armour. Anemone drew her hands back, building up her ki for an attack.
Krillin looked up sharply. He recognized that move. "Watch out! She's going to use the Kamehameha wave!" The small warrior leapt back, to avoid the energy wave.
"KAMEHAMEHA!!!!" the girl cried as she shot her attack at the enemy. Many of the soldiers near the path of the attack were disinigrated by the sheer power of it. The resulting explosion took out more of the soldiers that had been unlucky enough to be standing near the site of impact. When the dust cleared, there was a bit of a crater that had been created. A few smoking pieces of armour littered the perimeter of it.
So, that's what he meant. It's an energy attack. Cyae leapt back, startled by the evil creations. "You're asking for it." he cried as he held his spear parallel to the ground. "SUPER WAVE SMASHER!!!" A wave of water shot out from his weapon, impacting them like a tidal wave.
This caused the last of the soldiers to fall in shambles. Then, from the darkness, an evil voice laughed. "Well, you're more skilled than I thought. But still, not even the one bearing the armour of Wildfire can defeat me."
The demon emerged from the shadows with a slow, deliberate action. "You are on my turf now. The battleground is my home, for I am Hades." He laughed again. "This will be your last battle."
"We'll just see about that." Ryo hissed. The Ronins began to link up to the Inferno armour. The evil warlord was shocked, for he hadn't counted on this. Theirs was a power that went beyond the ages, and penetrated the soul. He lunged forward, but then another power made itself known.
"KIENZEN!!!" Krillin cried, flinging the energy disk at him. The evil creature managed to dodge it. Anemone knocked him down, keeping him from getting away. His face was in the crumbled asphalt of the street, and a sharp young knee was pushed into the small of his back. Hades hissed in anger, struggling.
How could a child be so strong? Oh no... The warlord began to struggle more violently.
"Anemone, get out of the way!" the Ronin shouted. The amazon leapt away from where she'd been standing, giving him a clear path of attack. "RAGE OF INFERNO!!!" Hades let out a scream. "It isn't enough!" Clearly their enemy was withstanding the attack.
Sekhmet stepped forward. "I'll give you a hand. SNAKE FANG STRIKE!!!" The evil warlord let out another cry of pain as the poisoned swords struck him.
Kuso*! I didn't expect them to work together! "You will never succeed!" He cried as his body was vaporized. When the light faded, not a thing remained of what had once been a powerful warlord. And still, the Ronins hadn't seen a hundreth of what the Z senshi could do. Yet now they had allies in the fight against the darkness. And by the powers that had begun to show, the darkness wouldn't win.
*- Trust me, you don't want to know. It's very impolite.
