Chapter 6




"Well, if I have to fight Kakkarott in the first round, the first thing I'm going to do is punch him in the gut." Vegeta declared. Anemone let out a moan and smacked the back of his head. She was one of the few people who could get away with disciplining him. All that filled his field of view for the millisecond after the blow was the gray stones of the path they were walking on.

"You need to behave. If he throws up because of you punching him, I hope they make you clean it up." The amazon then stopped sharply, gazing at the two people in front of them. The smaller, purple man came up to Goku, then started to talk to him. When they shook hands, a rather odd look crossed Goku's face. Then they vanished into the crowd around the drawing box.

Anemone suppressed a shudder. Those are some weird vibes. Why are they so powerful? Why are they here? She followed her friends over to the area they needed to be in. Then, she really did shudder.

"What is it, Ane-chan?" Gohan inquired.

"I'm sensing something evil. But it's a little hard to pin point." Her eyes slid closed as she attempted to find out where this darkness was radiating from. "They seem to have M's on their foreheads. I don't know what they are after, though."

"We'd better get over there. They are going to be calling names soon." The couple walked over to where they needed to be. After the draw, the matches were announced. She'd be fighting Yamu, Videl was up against Spopovich, Krillin would be fighting someone who resembled a huge genie, Piccolo was fighting Shin, Gohan, fighting as the Great Saiyaman was against Kibito, Juuhachi would be up against Mr. Satan, and Vegeta was up against Goku.

"Please go to the waiting area until you are called to the ring. Good luck to all of you." The guide left the area so that the warriors could settle in before their matches. Krillin and his opponent left the waiting room and entered the arena for their bout.

Anemone was gazing at Piccolo in concern. He was acting much worse than he had before the final battle with Cell. I know something is bothering him. Could be Shin. He's sort of...well, unusual. His power is similar to none I've ever sensed before. Her gaze was redirected to the ring. That giant must have a walnut for a brain. Whoa, he's a little more agile than I gave him credit for. But he's still a nutcase.

She chuckled as the small warrior came back into the building after winning his match. "Piccolo, are you all right? Looks like you need to relax a little." he commented.

"Hey, Krillin, about relaxing, relax your grip on your ki sense." He did as she asked, not really knowing why she said that. Then, the reason flooded into his concsiousness. There was a powerful warrior nearby.

Spopovich passed Shin on his way out to the ring. The smaller warrior looked up at him sharply. It's just as I feared. Bobbity is after the pure energies of these warriors. Why else would he have possessed two such unassuming fighters. He absentmindedly brushed up against the lone female saiya-jin, not knowing about her powers.

Anemone pulled back like she'd been burnt. That was the power of a kai, one that was the one above all kais. But, why would he be on Chikyuu? How could he be so powerful?

Shin blinked. She's the prophesied one. Her light can save those threatened by those possessed by the dark magic of Bobbity. She's very powerful for a mental miracle. Probably because she's not of this world. His gaze was trained on her unwaveringly.

"Shin, why are you staring at me?" Anemone felt like she was being examined with a microscope. That was the extent of his stare.

"Gomen, Anemone, is it?" She nodded, confirming that was her name. "Stay alert in your match. They are more than they seem." The amazon blinked in surprise. How could have he been able to see past the appearances of those fighters? Unless, he really was the Supreme Kai.

Shin walked back to Kibito so that he could speak with him. "That girl you saw me bump into could be of great help to us. She, somehow, is figuring out who I am. We must be wary of the Namek. If they found out why we are here, there could be more danger than what there is now." And that danger is waxing greater with each passing minute. Why didn't we observe those wizards more? This would have never happened if we had kept a better eye on this area.

His obsidian black eyes traveled to the ring where another match was beginning. The amazon fighting was very skilled for a young human, and had courage to spare. It was known to him that she knew some of the ki techniques, but not all of them as of yet.

The rough cold wall behind him managed to compose him as he leaned back into it. If he showed his powers now, all could be lost. The time would come when they would be shown. Until then, he had to find allies against his enemies.
