Chapter 11
Anemone got a sudden chill, one that went straight through her bones. Something's wrong. We've been targeted!
"He knows we're here!" Vegeta declared, in a tone of warning. Well, as close as he could get to that tone. The demon king leapt up and fired at Kibito. When the others cried out in shock, he noticed an opening.
"Look out!" Shin cried, but they got his warning too late. Dibora had spit on them. "I should have warned them sooner."
"Hold on!" Goku cried.
"No, Goku! Don't touch them now! If you touch them, they could break, and there would be no way to put them back together."
"But what happened to them?"
"They were turned to stone. That is one of Dibora's abilities. Anything he spits on is turned to stone."
Anemone trembled, more from the attempt to control her powers than from fear. "I might be able to help them. At least offer a bit of protection." The Supreme Kai blinked in surprise, but then remembered what he'd felt in her earlier. Her abilities would keep soul with the body of stone.
"Do what you can. Just be careful."
She nodded, in response to his request. Then went over to a place between her friends and knelt down. The others flew off, before Shin could stop them. "I'm sorry, my friends. This is all I can do." Anemone fell into a trance, seeing the light of her own soul. She let this light shine upon the bodies of her friends who'd been turned to stone.
The amazon came out of her trance rather abruptly, then flew down to the ship. "No! They've closed the door!" I won't let them fight alone. She sat back down, to all appearances she was in a meditation. The Supreme Kai's uncertainty was strong on her mind, she could feel its depths. Please, have faith in them. After all, each one of them faced Frieza. Your faith is what they need, not your worry.
Anemone! Where are you?
Outside. Don't worry about me. If Dibora comes out, he'd be signing his death warrant.
Watch out for any of the others.
I'm alert. They won't get me that easily. After all, I do have my own alarm system. There was a bit of a laugh in her reply. Her weakness she had turned into a strength. She felt her ki flare again, so she pulled away from where she'd been, easily avoiding the attack.
"Nani? How did you know I was here?"
"It's easy to sense an enemy who comes from downwind and smells of garlic." By her tone, it was easy to tell she did not like what was happening.
He growled angrily. That girl is pushing it. The warrior lunged, fist out, intent on hitting her. His body hit the ground forcefully, knocking the wind out of his lungs. What is going on? I didn't even see that move! He sprang back to his feet, dirt streaking his face.
"I have a bit of advice for you. Know your enemy."
"Kuso! You brat!" He lunged at her, throwing a punch. She blocked his fist, and brought a knee up into his gut. The evil soldier stumbled back, shocked. Who was this girl? She was too powerful to be human. He chose his most powerful attack, then launched it at her. Anemone easily deflected it, shocking him. It exploded deep in space, where it could hurt nothing. But the threat had angered her past all attempts for the darkness to reason with her.
An aura appeared around her, showing that she'd accessed her ki. "Not this time." Her aura intensified as she powered up her own attack. "GALE FORCE!!!!" An anguished scream erupted from him as his body vaporized. Anemone's aura vanished, and she looked around uneasily. Something was wrong, she felt like she had been watched. That, and she felt like a target. I don't like this. But I won't abandon my friends.
