Chapter 39
They finally finished freeing their allies and turned to face Bu.
"He's a little kid!" Goku cried as Vegeta laughed.
"And you were so worried." The Prince chuckled.
"Like you weren't. You were white knuckled and you know it." Goku retorted.
Anemone's tail had puffed to twice its original width with pure fear. "You're underestimating him." The quivering in her voice didn't go unnoticed. Her ki was also flaring wildly as she struggled to keep it under control. Goku cocked an eyebrow at her. He knew Anemone's judgment was good; but this?
"You can see how small he is."
The amazon shook her head. "Don't trust your eyes, they can deceive you. Remember Krillin? He was underestimated because of his size and so was Chaozu." Obsidian black eyes locked onto the childlike form of Bu. Here, the amazon's apprenticeship on Old Namek stood her in good stead. All the old ways of Namek-jin warriors imparted to her warned of this form's power. A lethal power, not to just one planet, but many.
Her ki condensed as her instincts prepared for something that would be quite spontaneous. Then, she noticed a ki preparing to come. It felt like Kaioshin and Kibito merged together. He'd be there soon, but before he arrived... The child-Bu moved quickly.
"Uh oh, I don't like this." Goku moaned.
Bu screamed loudly, causing all left on the planet to cover their ears. Finally, he shut up and turned to the three remaining saiya-jins that stood to face him. An oval ki attack soared at them and each saiya-jin used their own ki to divert it into space.
"That was enough to destroy the planet." Anemone stated, staring at the evil thing.
Vegeta couldn't take it anymore and turned to the enemy. "It may be your business if you want to destroy Chikyuu, but at least fight us first!"
The child turned with a scowl.
"Some gifted speaker." The prince added.
The amazon's eyes widened as Bu built up an attack. "No!" She yelped. "That's too much!" The sky began to reflect the pink light that shone on the ground beneath it.
"It's enough to blow this planet to pieces ten times!" Goku added. "Guys, I don't think we can stop this one. Let's grab them and get out of here." The trio leapt away from the blast. Goku was swooping down to get Dende and Mr. Satan and she poured on the speed to get to where they had left the others.
The amazon filled her arms with their allies and shot back into the sky. Unfortunately, her cousin didn't see her soaring up towards them. He was concentrating on getting to where they could safely teleport.
A Kai appeared between the two groups and was shocked to see the planet-destroying blast. He held his hand out to Goku who managed to grab it and Vegeta grabbed onto him. Anemone wrapped her tail around his wrist, startling him for a split second before they vanished from the doomed world.
Finally, they rematerialized on the World of the Kais. The amazon instantly released her hold on the Kai and staggered under the weight she held. Gently, she set them down on the soft green grasses before dodging the Old Kai. She studiously avoided looking at the sky, knowing that there were many moons. An oozaru saiya-jin here wouldn't be the best thing to happen.
"You made it! You're alive! There's still hope!" He cried, leaping around the scenic land.
Vegeta turned from the Kai to Goku with a snarl. "You had to save them instead of the boys, didn't you? How could..." His words were cut off as Anemone leapt forward and kneed him in the gut.
"Calm yourself Vegeta. They're right over there." She gestured to the unconscious warriors. Her cousin glared at her for a few seconds before deciding that it wasn't the best time to treat her like a punching bag.
Anemone turned to the Kais, who were watching a rather ridiculous sight. A pained yelp startled the warriors gathered and caused the Old Kai to burst out laughing. "He's quite entertaining!"
The amazon rolled her eyes and turned to the Namek with them. "How can you stand his ignorance, Dende?" She queried. He shrugged as Kaioshin let out a yelp.
"How could he be regenerating already after a blast like that?"
They gathered around the crystal ball and found that the fiend was indeed regenerating, as usual, in a pink gooze.
The group shuddered, knowing what this could mean. Suddenly, Bu vanished from the asteroid belt that was Chikyuu.
"Instant Transmission? When did he learn that?" Goku cried. Shock laced his voice as the creature appeared on a different world. Something was very wrong about this...
