Chapter 37
Bu lunged at Vegito, attempting to attack him but found himself thwarted. His enemy was too fast. Anemone teleported away from where she'd been and to another cliff, where she could get a better view.
"I'll give you until ten, Bu." Vegito stated before he started counting. Yet from behind him came a part of Bu that had nearly been forgotten. As he finished counting, he was surrounded by a mass of pink goo. "Yikes! This isn't good!" Vegito appeared to be trying to power up, but it was too late for that precaution. The goo struck Bu's front and was absorbed into him.
He burst out laughing. "I did it! I finally won!" He laughter was getting the best of him when Anemone teleported in front of him.
"Don't celebrate yet."
But halted in shock, she hovered there as she had before and it angered him. Why wouldn't she just stay down? He lunged at her and missed.
"Are you forgetting something?" Her tone was completely innocent.
Bu turned and saw his antenna in her hand. She regarded it with wide, innocent eyes before tossing it into the sky and thoroughly disintegrating it.
He growled, dangerously low and threw a ki sphere at her. She easily diverted it, then felt a foot crash into her back. As she had been prepared for such an attack, she only moved five feet.
"So, you are forgetting something."
A bright blue aura surrounded her once again. The amazon lunged at him and vanished from his sight. Reappearing from the side, she delivered a fierce kick. Once more, Bu shot to the ground from the force of her blow. Dust billowed in the air and she hovered, waiting with an attack ready. He lunged out of the crater made by his body and was met with a ki sphere to the face.
The resulting explosion blew his head off again. I agree with Vegito. That is a better look for him. A barely audible chuckle escaped her.
Bu regenerated his missing head and glared at her with hatred. "You shouldn't have done that." He threw a punch and she caught his hand. Her grip tightened to a shattering pressure. Then she kicked his gut, releasing his hand and punched his face.
She held her hand to the sky and built up another attack. Bright, lightning-blue light spilt from the sphere as she flung it at him. A thunderous explosion rocked the area and before the smoke cleared, the amazon shot into it and struck him to the ground.
The dust gradually cleared, revealing the most unexpected tableau. The amazon was pinning Bu to the brown, stony dirt by his neck with her forearms. The pressure she was using made him appear buggy-eyed. Anemone leapt back gracefully, allowing him to regenerate and rise.
Bu rose and floated to her level. "Not what I expected." He brushed the dirt off his shoulder. "But you know that you can't win."
A bright laugh escaped from her. "I've heard that one too many times. Besides, by now you should know, the strongest doesn't always win the battle." He can be such a comedian. She brought up her ki even more, revealing more of the powers of a female saiya-jin to him.
Seeing that his enemy had herself well in hand, he switched tactics again in an attempt to trick her. "Anemone," he began in a voice similar to Goku's, "stop resisting. We're fine, join us."
She laughed again. "Nice try, Bu. That was close but no cigar. I know them better than that and you are an idiot." Her aura surrounded her once more. A faint use of ki made itself known to her ki sense.
Suddenly, a pained cry burst from Bu. "W-what's happening to me?" His arms curled around his burning abdomen. As he was distracted, Anemone shot forward and shoved him into the ground.
They're fighting back. It's about time. She hovered nearby and kept a wary eye on Bu as he concentrated on stopping the burning pain. He looked rather ridiculous like that, but she wasn't about to say anything. One, for fear of harming those on the rescue mission and another for fear of alerting him to what they were attempting to do.
He would be in the dark until he felt them taking his prisoners and reducing his power thereby.
