Chapter 38
The amazon could sense something happening within the writhing creature. No! Goku, Vegeta, be careful! It was apparent to her that they were no longer in the place they had been.
Then Bu got to his feet, his stomach rumbling. He took to the sky and Anemone let him. "I know you're hungry. There's a great bakery that way." She gestured to a city that he hadn't destroyed in one of his earlier rampages.
Bu shot into flight with the amazon following him. She cast a quick glance to Dende and Mr. Satan. If you must follow, stay out of sight. Then she chuckled. I can still hear them. Goodness, does this guy have a one track mind. Get him thinking about food and all other thoughts vanish.
A sympathetic rumble came from her own stomach as she soared over the brown and wasted land that had once been beautiful green grasslands. I guess I'm hungry too. Once in the city, she noticed that Bu had found the bakery and was chowing down.
Anemone made a disgusted face before vanishing into another area. Quickly, she found the store that had enough for her saiya-jin appetite gathered up what she needed and pulled out a wad of bills. Leaving a record of what she had taken and what it had cost as well as the payment, she then settled down to her meal and finished it quickly, yet neatly. Then she joined the two waiting for her outside the bakery. "That's gross."
Her whisper alerted them to her presence. Still they didn't take their eyes off Bu. He was truly a mess, with icing and crumbs all over his face. He finished with one bakery and moved on to the others in the city. "I'll keep tabs on him." Anemone volunteered. "Dende, get some rest. Your ki is too low for much more flying." She then shot off after Bu. Those two have their work cut out for them. I have a feeling that he knows what they are up to.
Bu landed on a grass-covered cliff, being outwardly still. All around him was ignored as he concentrated on what he had to do to preserve his power.
"I don't think so." She growled. Her foot connected fiercely, forcing him to the ground with a resounding crash and still he didn't respond. Anemone hovered nearby, watching him warily. Sharp pain shot through her as his ki began to rise. She recognized the wild expression in his eyes and powered up swiftly. "Bu." She called, prompting him to look at her.
A fist crashed into his face, sending him sprawling. Bu sprang back to his feet, glaring at the amazon before him. "You shouldn't have done that." He powered up, a pinkish aura surrounding him and causing a wind to kick up.
A sizzling Namek-go curse escaped her lips. "I will do whatever I please." She built up the attack, and then sensed something. She then altered the technique, modifying it quickly so that he wouldn't expect what she was about to do.
The bluish sphere leapt from the hand she held it in and struck her enemy hard. A large explosion rocked the area as light and smoke blocked all view of anything that could have otherwise been seen. Finally, the smoke diffused away revealing the result of her attack.
Blisters and burns were all over the magical creature and he glared angrily. "You bitch of a saiya-jin! That hurt!"
She laughed lightly, trying to get control of herself as she gazed down at him. He stood there completely tattered and totally enraged. "You should see the look on your face! It's priceless!" She managed to chock out through her laughter. It echoed over the area, bouncing off of stone, cliff and nearby water seeming to echo in his mind.
Her laughter served its purpose, causing him to boil with rage. Steam shot out of the pores he wore. Anemone spotted small, black dots within it and shot over to the proper area; for as they shot away from him, they regained their size. The amazon then joined them on the ground in the little blind canyon where those who had been trapped were laid down. "Anemone, what the hell did you do?" Vegeta demanded. His voice sounded as it usually did, gruff and angry.
She chuckled lightly, and Goku grinned. Her laughter could tend to be infectious. "I got Bu angry. He's even easier to tick off than you!"
They continued to free their allies from the pods that had encompassed them. Anemone cocked her head as she heard them moan softly. "They're beginning to come around." Then, she seemed a little distant before another soft chuckle escaped her. She couldn't stop it and fell into a laughing fit.
"What's so funny?" Goku inquired.
The amazon managed to get herself under control enough to say something. "The Kais. They've been watching through the crystal ball and the Elder Kai threw a fit like a toddler." Laughter burst from her again and Goku joined in.
Indeed, the Elder Kai was quite the character. He had a good deal of mental abilities, but sometimes acted like a child or teenager. He was centuries older than Shin and yet seemed to be more of a child than his younger successor. What was it about that sword that had seemed to turn the clock back on his maturity level? Or had he hit his head beforehand, hit it so hard that he knocked a few screws loose? And then those screws had knocked others loose.
Anyway, that's not important right now. Then, she felt something that seemed to be from her darkest nightmares. The ki of their enemy had changed. She couldn't tell what had happened... This is bad. This is very bad. I have this feeling that the end of Chikyuu could be at hand. We need strength. Not to endure, but to stop him from wanton destruction. May all above help us.
Anemone trembled slightly, noticing that her cousin and Goku seemed completely unconcerned about what she was sensing. But then again, they weren't alert to the changes quite yet. She couldn't tell them; they had to find out on their own.
