Chapter 19
I've got to fly faster. Dende, please be there. A sonic boom filled the air around her as she sped up. Korin Tower loomed in the distance, signaling that her flight was nearly over. Good, he's there. Better try to keep Videl from seeing me. Once she got to the tower, she flew vertically until reaching the platform. Once she landed, her aura vanished. "Dende!"
"In here, Ane-chan."
Anemone followed the sound of his voice, and when she found him, he noticed the expression on her face. "Don't worry about Gohan. His sleeping ki is waking up." Then, his own expression became thoughtful. "You forgave Dibora. Why?"
"He realized his mistake. That is why. It would have been pointless to hold it against him when he was trying to destroy Bu." Her gaze shifted to the scrying bowl, then she suppressed a gasp. The Supreme Kai was in terrible danger, and every fiber of her being was screaming for her to help him. But he had told her to leave. This danger wasn't hers.
"Anemone, Korin's all out of senzu, and I can't leave the lookout. If I did, that would leave me vulnerable to Bu. Find Gohan and stay with him as long as you can."
The amazon nodded, leaving the room. She leapt off of the edge of the lookout, her blue aura exploding around her form again. Then, she cast out her ki sense, looking for her friend's ki. It grabbed onto her with ferocity, letting her know that he needed help. Her eyes scanned the ground, looking for him so that she'd know where to land.
Anemone saw him, and landed lightly next to where he lay. "I'm here, Gohan. I'll stay as long as I can." She sat down next to him, then gently wiped the blood off of his face. An uneasy gaze went around the clearing. Two great warriors were out cold, and her cousin was over confident. This was a recipe for disaster. The amazon fell into a trance, trusting her ki to warn her if darkness threatened this sanctuary.
A scene unfolded in her mind's eye, showing the danger that the others were in. What it Bu up to? He's acting like he's crazy. The declaration he made concerning Dibora wasn't one that was easy to accept. Dibora lashed out at the pink marshmallow- like creature, knocking him across the valley. He flew back, startling his new enemy.
Anemone fell forward in shock. Vegeta had cut off her connection. But, there was enough residual force for her to see an after image of the demon's fate. Then, the kis of her two friends who'd been turned to stone came back. "Gohan, they are back." A large blast of ki startled her to her feet. Vegeta! Baka! What could you hope to do?
Piccolo's ki raised slightly, in shock. He didn't know why the prince was there, or why he'd blown up the ship. Her cousin's resolve filtered thorough his ki, to her. She could tell, just as easily as she'd read Piccolo's emotions, that he wouldn't let Bu win.
Even against the Supreme Kai's wishes, he would face the darkness that threatened. He would fight Bu and win, or die trying. Tears built up in her eyes. Vegeta no baka! Do you even realize that you could be killed, and all of your attacks wouldn't put a dent in him? She turned to look at the unconscious form of Gohan. "I might have to leave." She hugged her knees closer, more uneasy than she'd been since before Cell had been killed. It was up to them to protect this world from the darkness.
