Chapter 26
Anemone shot to her feet, sensing a huge burst of power. Her very soul was screaming about what happened. An entire city, wiped off the map. Then, the reaction Goku had from what Baba had told him only added a bit of humor to a day that had become gloomy with sorrow. Her ki sense caught a faint group of kis from deep below the demolished city and she sprang to her feet.
A bright blue aura surrounded her as she leapt into flight. "Anemone, where are you going?" Piccolo demanded gruffly.
She paused, hovering in midair before turning to face him. He still stood on the lookout, and looked about ready to follow her in case he had to catch her. "Ground zero. I sense several faint kis there. You had better concentrate on what you have to learn, sensei." She shot off with a sonic boom. Green trees interwoven with gray strips of pavement gave way to the destruction that had once been a thriving city. Landing, her bright blue aura vanished. She knew of a deep, subway system in this place. That had been what saved the people that were now crying out for help.
Anemone drew her fist back and struck the ground with a mighty blow. It crumbled under her fist, forming what appeared to be the mouth of a cave. Using her aura, she lifted and flung away excess dirt. "Are you all right?" She carefully descended into the system.
Relief flooded their faces when the saw that she wasn't Bu. "We're fine. Thanks for the opening." The man became nervous when he noticed the tail about her waist. "Saiya-jin." he whispered, trembling. His skin became as pale as wax, eyes as wide as saucers.
Children came tumbling along and knocked her over. She laughed, a merry sound not in the least sadistic. "Relax, I may be a saiya-jin, but I was raised to use my powers to protect." Her amused expression remained until the children scurried back to their parents, shouting about meeting one of the warriors that had fought in the Tenkaichi Budokai. Then, the smile vanished and merry twinkling in her eyes became a hard gleam. "I would suggest that you stay underground. If Bu sees you, he'll most certainly kill you."
The amazon left the cavernous subway system and leapt into flight. She flew through the fluffy white clouds, hiding her trail among them. Ow! Gohan yelped, nearly causing her to fall out of flight.
Bruise your coccyx? There was a hint of laughter behind her question and in her tone. She had gotten a flash of what had happened.
No, but I was close. A sigh escaped him. How could I have lost so much? He sounded so confused.
Anemone burst out laughing at the tone. Our years of peace have gotten to you. At least we dropped the charade before now. She wiped a tear away from her eye. The peaceful times got to me, also. It just wasn't as apparent, with all of those ki surges and all.
Gohan let out a mental growl as he swiped the air with the sword. What did Tousan do?
He went to the third level of super saiya-jin. By now, he's heading back because he just showed Trunks and Goten. Bewilderment laced her tone. Such a power she could never have access to, simply because it frightened her by just looking at it.
Many colors past beneath her in a blur as she sped up her flight. Relax, Ane-chan. My tousan would never harm Chikyuu. He let out a mental chuckle as he continued concentrating on his training. You told Videl.
So? Her tone was a little indignant. She asked; I didn't volunteer the information. Besides, she chuckled again, I can tell that you like her. Uh-ah, I don't want to hear anything about it. Anemone terminated the connection as the lookout loomed into her view. Once over the floor, she landed lightly. "How are they doing?"
Her query brought attention back to her. "Still learning." Videl replied. "The dance itself seems rather ridiculous and they've made some goofy errors."
"A comedy of errors, I suppose." Her statement caused some of them to burst out laughing. Only she could get away with saying something like that while they were learning new techniques. They could never catch her when it came to their prank-filled revenge. Not once had she fallen into their traps. Neither had Gohan, but they still thought him dead.
