Chapter 20
Anemone felt the battle begin. Piccolo's uncertainty filtered out to her. "I'm sorry, Gohan. I must go." She took to the sky in her characteristic flash of blue. Her speed carried her back to the area she had fled from so recently, and once she landed, clapped one of her hands over Trunks' mouth. "That's quite enough out of you. Don't you even understand the gravity of this situation?"
Vegeta slammed Bu down with a ki blast through the gut. "Piccolo, no. That blast should have done more damage to him than it did." she declared.
He kept himself from shouting, not thoroughly understanding her reasoning. Then, he saw why. Bu had leapt up, and regenerated his missing part. His power level started rising, showing that the blast had angered him a great deal. Not good, not at all. Now what was the bloated beast up to?
"I think it's time for us to leave." Krillin muttered.
"Everyone, take cover!" Piccolo commanded, causing each one of them to dive into a crevace in the cliff face. After the explosion had passed, he shoved a boulder off of himself, calling out to the others to see if they were all right. Then, the group turned back to the battle on the valley floor below them.
"Not even Vegeta can stop him and live." Anemone muttered, her voice trembling. Bu pulled a piece of himself off, grossing them out.
"Man, I wish Goku and Gohan were here." Krillin muttered.
Goten turned to him in anger. "They'll be here!"
"Vegeta!" Anemone cried. The others turned back to the battle, only to see that he'd been tied up with a slab of Bu's own body.
"Trunks, no. We can't loose you too. If you go in there now, you'll only cause Vegeta pain." Piccolo declared. But, the boy didn't listen to him. Trunks erupted into super saiya-jin flames, then leapt down towards the battleground. The amazon leapt to stop him, but was restrained by Piccolo.
"Hey, wait for me!" Goten flashed after him, transforming before he did. The Namek warrior dropped his hold on Anemone, and grabbed the boy by his arm. "Let me go!"
"No. You stay here."
"If I were Gohan, you'd let me go!"
He dropped his hold, allowing the boy to fly away. The amazon tried to go after them again, but was stopped a second time. "Anemone, they may be able to help. Stay calm." She quit squirming to get away, then looked over at the two streaking towards Vegeta. Trunks had his father's courage, that was for sure. But did he have the skills to back it up?
The two young warriors flew past the laughing wizard, startling him. "What was that?" His voice showed his confusion, as he hadn't even seen them nearby; however unlikely that was.
Trunks kicked Bu away from his father, then they unrolled him from his prison. Bobbity noticed that they were trying to wake him, but he was stopped from intervening by Piccolo. He launched some sort of blue parasite type of creature at him, but the powers of the warrior threw them off. The fleeing wizard was easily wounded, preventing him from doing anything else that would have endangered the planet.
Anemone shot into the sky suddenly. She'd seen Vegeta hugging his son, and knew what would happen next. A simple blow knocked the boy out, and then another knocked out Goten. The two in the sky landed next to them, noticing that Bu was coming up.
"Take the two boys as far away from here as possible. Go, now." Vegeta commanded. Piccolo explained what would happen to him, but he'd accepted that fate. He was now fighting for the right purpose. Anemone picked up Trunks while Piccolo took ahold of Goten. They started flying off.
"Krillin, come on! Vegeta's going to blow!" Anemone cried. He took to the sky sharply, quickly regaining the ground he lost as he caught up to the warriors in front of him.
What did she mean by that? He couldn't possibly do a kamikaze attack, could he?
