Chapter 2



Anemone sat quietly, looking at the young warrior. My cousin is so paranoid. She pushed her bangs out of her face, only to have them fall back to their original postion, and averted her gaze. Vegeta needs to lighten up.

Deep in her heart, she could sense that something was bothering the recent arrival. There was such a desperate air to his aura. She got up, then went over to him. "Are you all right?" The concern in her voice mirrored that of the one he knew, and this one was so much younger than her counter-part.

He blinked in shock. Man, Gohan wasn't kidding about her reading auras easily. "I'm fine. Just concerned about something."

The amazon cocked her head at him. "More like someone." she corrected. The impish gleam was back in her eyes, as she was figuring it out.

Mirai Trunks flinched. Anemone's good at this. He was saved from replying by his tracking unit beeping. "Hey, two hours have passed. Goku should be arriving any time now."

Those who could sense ki were shocked. "That's some power." Yamcha commented. Then, a spherical ship shot through the atmosphere. A massive crash was heard as the pod struck the ground.
Dust rose into the air like the smoke from a smokestack. The group rushed over in excitement. "Check out the size of that crater!" Gohan cried. It was no deeper than those caused before, yet looked it.

"Yea, whoowee, what a landing. I hope he had some air bags in that baby." Krillin commented. His attempt at a joke.

"Why? To protect the ship from Goku's head?" Yamcha retorted.

He's so dense. That is one bad sense of humor. But then again, he was with Kaio-sama* for about six months. Anemone thought as the door to the pod opened. Her eyes became fixed upon Goku.

"Huh? Hi, guys." Goku muttered. A massive celebration started as he levitated up towards them. "I don't get it. How did you know I was coming?"

Anemone looked him right in the eye. "This guy told us." she declared, gesturing at the unknown warrior.

"He knew all about you, Tousan!" the boy cried. Joy laced his voice for his father was finally home.

The warrior's gaze shifted to him. "That's impossible. We've never met!"

Mirai Trunks looked Goku right in the face. "Goku, I need to talk to you, alone." The two flew off to get some privacy.

The young girl stood next to Gohan, trying to figure out what was going on. This is too weird. He's so desperate. But why? What's happened to him?

Anemone continued to watch the other warriors, not seeing her cousin's reaction to the display of powers. Then, Piccolo nearly fell over, and let out a surprised sound. "Is something bothering you?" she inquired. I know that he can hear them. But why was he surprised?

"Nothing." he growled. Goku came back to them, muttering in confusion. They were informed of the facts the boy from the future had revealed.

Then, they left the area, readying themselves for three years of training. Three years. I hope we can do this. Training for this one's going to be worse than any other session before. She sped up her flight. While her cousin was there, he was going to be hard on her. All the techniques she'd learned under Nail were going to be needed if he took to training her.
