Chapter 4
Anemone watched with growing horror as Nineteen drained Goku's life energies away. Piccolo still lay on the ground, feigning unconsciousness. Something was telling her not to interfere, yet how she wanted to. A blur came through the area, and the jinzouningen was knocked away from him.
"Nobody kills Kakkarott while I'm around." Vegeta snarled.
The Namek suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. "That's who interfered!" he cried, standing.
"But didn't he..." Gohan broke off.
"Yes, he got a shot in, but only after Vegeta interfered."
The Prince looked down at Goku. "You're pathetic! You were warned about the heart virus three years ago, and should have realized that powering up to super saiya-jin would only activate and aggravate the disease."
He then kicked the fallen warrior over to his friends. This new pain was too much for him, causing him to pass out just as he was caught. Yamcha took off, carrying his friend slung over his shoulder.
The evil white droid lunged into the sky after them, but Anemone grabbed his ankle, jerking him back down to the earth. "I don't think so." she hissed. The jinzouningen looked right at her, confused. He accessed his data banks, searching through them for her.
"Twenty, I haven't any files on this girl."
"Nor have I. Just get rid of her."
She glanced at Vegeta, who gave a slight nod. This would buy time for him to power up. The evil creature lunged, but the young amazon dodged him. "Huh?" he muttered. Then, a loud scream erupted from him as she pushed him down, into the earth.
"As Piccolo said, your creator chose a fine chapter to leave out of your data banks." she snarled. Then it dawned on them: she had been met while the others were on Namek. Now they knew they were in trouble. With no files on her, they didn't know how to conter any attack she'd use.
Anemone leapt out of the crater and glared at Twenty. Just then, Vegeta burst into golden flames. The girl leapt back, allowing him to attack the jinzouningen. What an ego. She thought as he bragged about how he'd achieved this power. Tone it down, Vegeta. This is a battle, not a contest of egos. Her mental voice carried a scolding tone, yet had the desired effect. Her cousin quit bragging.
The group watched as the two fought against each other. Suddenly a hand-less Nineteen ran across the field, uttering strange noises of fear. The Prince blasted the evil thing into pieces. Twenty glared at him as he dusted his rear off. "Well, your friend managed to take quiet a bit of energy from me. If you attack right now, you just might defeat me." He was clearly boasting, yet one who knew him not didn't know that.
His tone frightened the jinzouningen, who took off. The girl took a senzu from Krillin and walked over to her cousin. "Vegeta, I don't know which is worse." she commented while handing him the bean. "Your ego or your mouth." He looked like he wanted to slap her before realizing she was right. Anemone took too much after her mother; for Sirena would've said the same thing.
The others smothered laughter at her statement. It was true. Which was worse with him? His ego or his mouth? The Prince took off in a sudden flash of gold. Piccolo's gaze shifted to the cliffs. "We should help him out. This is a large area to cover."
They flew off, splitting up to search different areas. The amazon quietly walked through her area, keeping her senses on alert. So, he thinks that he can hide out here forever. But, I know that he's going to need to absorb more energy soon. My cousin is too hard to beat if he doesn't.
She felt like she was being watched, so she turned about, looking for the one watching. Her gaze nearly caught him, promting him to flinch back into the darkness.

I have no idea who this girl is, but she is defiantly a very powerful warrior. Who could she be? I just don't understand. What is going on here? Twenty looked about at the others. Vegeta is still too powerful for me to take on right now. But the others have come like lambs to the slaughter. An evil grin came over his wrinkled and bearded face.
~
Vegeta continued to grumble angrily. This was just unacceptable. He fired off an attack, but the jinzouningen absorbed the energy. He was very angry with himself now. He'd made an unacceptable mistake. He was acting like he was kicking himself.

Anemone looked about uneasily. Then, she sensed Piccolo's energy begin to wane. She flew over to the area, and found Gohan striking the evil creature away from his friend. "Thanks, Gohan. You saved my life." he panted.
"Krillin, he needs a senzu bean!"
"Hai*. Catch!" he cried, flinging the seed at his friend.
Piccolo ate it then sank down to the level that the other two were on. "Let me take care of this one, Vegeta. I owe him. If he manages to get passed me, then you get him."
"I don't care if you want to fight him. I don't care if you get yourself killed. But I do care if he manages to steal more of your energy and makes himself even stronger. Just remember that when you're having your little bit of fun."
"Yea, I'll make sure that doesn't happen again."
The jinzouningen lunged, but kept getting thwarted. "He grabbed him again!" Gohan cried. The dust cleared, allowing them to see better. "No, wait. Piccolo grabbed the grabber!"
Anemone looked at the jinzouningen more closely. When Bulma taught me to read her language, she used her father's magazines. He looks so familiar. Could he have been in one of them or a colleague to Capsule Corporation? She shook her head. No, he's not a colleague of Capsule Corp. He's... Dr. Gero!
Then, the Namek broke his arm off. "I used to be like you, you know. But I've changed. It's simple, you're desire to kill is killing you." Then, he looked at the lower arm in his hand. "There was a good chance you could have put this hand to good use. What a waste of technology."
The girl silently agreed with her friend. This was just odd. Would have Dr. Gero done that to himself? Did he regard life with such little value? No, she wouldn't let him get away with anything he'd done. The lives that he and Nineteen had destroyed would not have died in vain. That she would make sure of.
She would find a way to use what she'd learned about them by remote viewing of the deaths to find a weakness in this model. But, something was telling her that this was only the first generation. There were at least two others that were close to being awakened.
