Chapter 16
"Let's strike together. Hold nothing back." Gohan declared, building up his ki to attack level.
"I think we should take this outside. I'd hate to be in here when Bu wakes up."
"Wizard." Shin hissed. "You don't need to worry about what your monster will do to you when you still have me to contend with."
Bobbity only laughed, and cast his spell. Once they were outside, he turned to the demon. "Dibora, are you up to this?"
"They will be no trouble. I have a far more painful fate in mind for them than stone."
Anemone looked over at Gohan and leapt away from him as his aura became the golden one of a super saiya-jin. He was remembering the pain and suffering that Cell had caused, and knew that Bu would be even worse. It would be dangerous to stay near him when he was like this. He fired a Kamehameha wave at the shell, and it was joined by one of Anemone's unnamed attacks. The sphere fell away from where it was, then fell open.
It was empty, but the pink smoke that had come out of it was rapidly condensing into a body. Bobbity let out a cry of joy when he noticed that it was Bu, who was at full power. Anemone flinched at the pain of her ki surge. Bu was way too dangerous to be taken lightly. The mistakes of others, she would not repeat.
Then, she noticed two young, yet strong, kis coming their way. Goten and Trunks. Not good. They have no idea of what they're getting themselves involved in. Suddenly, she heard something from Vegeta. He wasn't very happy. Her attention was drawn back to the battle that was developing. Bu's darkness was causing her ki to fluctuate wildly. Such sudden, drastic changes were very painful for her, but she was also feeling the pain of betrayal. How could you? Bobbity will find a way to gain full control over you. Aren't you even the least bit concerned about us? About your son? Bu is free, you baka! Why did you want to give up all you've gained? What kind of stunt is that?!
"Shin." she whispered, getting his attention. "Vegeta did it on purpose. He wanted to be the dark warrior he was while he'd been under Frieza's control." Her voice sounded like she was on the verge of tears.
Gohan was shocked. Vegeta had jeopardized the lives of the people on Chikyuu with his own selfishness. But, that was just like him. When he wanted something he was selfish about it, never once thinking that it would hurt those who were dear to him. Then, he heard Anemone smother a cry, so he turned to see what was wrong.
She was struggling to keep herself from crying out any louder. Her ki was surging, and the frequency was what was hurting her. Gohan placed his hand on her shoulder, offering her mute sympathy. Her power is greater since we first faced this darkness. But all of that at once isn't good for her. His hand tightened its grip on her shoulder, as he wanted to take her pain away. They needed her help in the fight against Bu.
Her pain faded away, in response to the grip on her shoulder. "Arigato, Gohan." He blinked. Gohan hadn't expected his wish to help her in her struggle. But somehow it had. The brother-sister bond that they had lifted the powers of family and friendship within them. That had been what she needed in her struggle against her pain.
