Chapter 3


(3 years later)




Anemone quietly stood on the grassy cliff next to Bulma. She could now sense the approach of her friends. Friends that she hadn't seen in so long. Trunks let out a wail, startling the three already there. They managed to quiet him before the others landed. She shook her head in exasperation when Goku just about blew his cover. But he sure recovered quickly. He's such a goof. the amazon thought.

Krillin then landed, joining the group. "When did that boy say the jinzouningen would get here?"

"At 10:30. Bulma, I think you should leave. It's nearly time for them to get here now." Goku declared. His gaze went out over the city in an attempt to find them.

"Oh, relax. I just want to see what these things look like, that's all." she replied. The sounds of an approaching air car caused them to look up. When it had landed, the one who came out was ... Yajirobe? Surprise flashed through the group, as he was no warrior in comparison to them.

"Goku, Korin wanted you to have these. They may come in handy." He tossed the bag over to the warrior he'd addressed before getting back into his air car and flew off. On the way away from the island's air space, his vehicle exploded in a bright flash of orange and red. They noticed two small dots flying back down into West City.

"Gohan, go see if Yajirobe is alright. Bulma, hold onto these." Goku tossed the bag over to her. "Why didn't we sense their ki?" He sounded angered by the event.

"Tousan, they're jinzouningen, so maybe we can't." Gohan declared. Then he took off for the area the air car had gone down in. He was out over the ocean before any reply could be made.

"Looks like we have to do this the old fashioned way with our eyes." Piccolo declared. That wasn't a pleasing thought, as many innocent people could be killed before the jinzouningen were found.

"The Red Ribbon Army symbol should be a dead giveaway if they are wearing it." Goku added. They took to the air, then split up to search different areas of the city.

Anemone silently walked along after landing, looking at the people she was passing. Talk about a needle in a haystack. This looks so hopeless. Wait a minute... All living beings have ki, but the jinzouningen don't! If one of them is in my field of view, I'll be able to tell! She opened her ki sense all the way, allowing the minuscule kis of the humans around her to be felt. Then, she felt a ki more powerful than that of the other humans starting to fade. Yamcha! He's in danger! She took off in a flash of blue, startling the people around her. Not many knew how to fly. Once in the air, others joined her.

They landed at the place where a gas station had recently been. Now there was a fire, and clouds of billowing smoke that rose into the crystal sky. The two jinzouningen did wear the symbol of the Red Ribbon Army. "Krillin, get Yamcha out of here. Take him back to Bulma!" Goku commanded.

"Right Goku." He lifted his friend up then took off, flying back to where they'd left Bulma.

"There are too many people around here." the warrior muttered.

"I agree." the taller jinzouningen declared. He started to fire ki blasts from his eyes, causing multiple explosions.

"NO!!!" Goku cried, punching his face. This knocked him off balance, but only his hat fell to the asphalt they stood on.

"I was merely clearing the area of innocents, in accordance with your wishes."

"Leave these people out of this!" Goku snarled.

The small white one smirked. "There are no people left to leave out."

"Well, if you wish to fight elsewhere, lead the way Goku." They took to the sky, flying to a far off uninhabited island.

"Now, how did you know my name?"

"There was a sophisticated device that was planted on you at the Tenkaichi Budokai when you were still a boy. It was keyed into your very specific life energies. This device followed you throughout the years, studying your fighting techniques as they became more advanced and more powerful. So, those files were transferred into us, his ultimate creations. We are here to avenge the Red Ribbon army and take over the world in accordance with Dr. Gero's wishes."

Goku smirked. "Tell me, did this device follow me into outer space?"

"No, enough information had been gathered for Dr. Gero to build the ultimate fighting machine."

Piccolo smirked. "Well, did your creator tell you that Goku would one day become a super saiya-jin?" At the shocked look on the speaker's face he continued. "Yes, your creator chose a fine chapter to leave out of your data banks."

Goku powered up quickly, showing them the qualities of a super saiya-jin. "Well, this is certainly surprising. But nothing we can't handle. As 19 will demonstrate." The small white jinzouningen came forward, ready to destroy his enemy.

"I wouldn't bank on that decision if I were you." Goku powered up even more then lunged with a scream. The battle had only just begun. Danger was on the horizon, and it wouldn't be pretty. The warrior that had saved Chikyuu so many times was in grave danger. And from something so small, it would take a microscope to see it.
