Anemone stayed back, not letting them see her hiding behind the foliage. Goku's skill was certainly showing through as the fight continued. She grimaced as Bu reformed himself after a particularly nasty explosion. Good, Goku's keeping a level head. She then ground her teeth in anger. The warrior had been flung into a cliff by the pink monstrosity.
Pink light shot all over the planet as the two exchanged fire. It was infuriating her to no end to watch this. The sky then grew dark. Oh no! Was the core hit? She took a few deep breaths. Stay calm. You won't be able to do anything to help if you are panicked. Softly, she swore in Namek-go as the red haze cleared from the air. He needs me now!
She lifted into the air with a brilliant blue burst of ki. Lightly, the amazon landed next to Goku. "Don't move." She found what she was looking for fairly quickly. I'm glad that I figured out a way to carry these without them being seen and targeted. "Here, this'll help." Anemone gently pushed a seed into his mouth.
He sat up quickly afterwards. "You should've stayed away, Anemone."
She snorted. "He's after me too, remember? Bu would've found us if you two hadn't powered up."
Goku shot into super saiya-jin three and head butted Bu away from Vegeta. "Sorry about butting in like that, but I think I should take it from here."
"Sure, be my guest." Vegeta muttered. He floated down to the boulders to sit as he contemplated his situation.
A light touch on his shoulder drew him out of his thoughts. "Anemone, you shouldn't have come back. Hell, if I'm outclassed by Bu, what could you do?" When I was a child a cousin was all I wanted. Now that I know I've had one for so long, I don't want her to be harmed.
"Drop it, Vegeta. I know he's more powerful than me. By now you should know that brains sometimes wins out over brawn. Intelligence makes it where strength can't cut it. Think things through. Act, don't react." Anemone shook her head, slightly irritated. Some never learned the lessons imparted to her by her sensei. It was best to learn those lessons early on.
Her obsidian eyes sparkled in anger. They had to do something. Finally, Goku floated back to them. "Kakkarott, what's gotten into you? You could've finished him off before now!" Vegeta exclaimed.
"I was holding back because I thought you'd want another crack at him. When I was fresh, yes I could've, but not now."
"How long do you need?" Anemone queried as she stepped up to them. The fire in her eyes was that of a warrior. This amazon brought three differing worlds into one. Born on Vejitasei to the saiya-jins, raised on Namek and taught there by Nail, and finally coming to Chikyuu and learning the culture. She was a nearly perfect blend of each world, without knowing that was how all of her people had been before shadow invaded their hearts.
"A minute. That's all I need to gather the ki together." Goku replied, glancing down at his hands.
Vegeta leapt off the cliff and floated next to his comrade. "I've got it covered." He declared.
"Huh?" Goku turned to the Prince in shock.
"Your minute, I have it covered." He elaborated.
"Whoa, hold on a minute. Vegeta, you've already died once. If you cease to exist here there is no way you could be revived." The warrior sounded a little more than concerned as his ally would be in grave danger if he did this.
"It's only a minute, Kakkarott. Sixty seconds. If I can't last that long maybe I don't deserve to exist." Vegeta then powered up to his super saiya-jin form. "Stay here, Anemone. I don't want you involved."
She snorted. I'll stay back as long as I can Vegeta. But if you need help, I'm here for you. Then her gaze shifted to Goku. "Both of you are acting like I'm made of glass. Please remember that glass wouldn't have survived the squeeze Bu put on me earlier. Glass I am far from." Then she noticed that Bu was strangling her cousin. Unable to watch anymore, she leapt into battle before Goku could attempt to stop her.
Wait a minute, Goku. He silently chided. She had a valid point. That was a lot of pressure that Bu put on her and she survived. I have to remember that she had tough training all of her life.
Anemone came to the field of battle and fiercely kicked the arm wrapped around her cousin's throat. A sizzling curse escaped her as she kicked him again. "That's enough, Bu!" Her tone was murderous. The amazon then shot forward and crushed her knee into his face before pulling back and launching a ki sphere. Kid Bu exploded in many tiny pieces before falling all over the place.
Vegeta pulled what remained of the arm off his neck and flung it away as Bu reformed himself. "I told you to stay out of it." He snarled.
"Like I was going to let him destroy you?" She snorted. "I may be a girl, but I am also an amazon. Besides, you know me by now." She sank into a guard as the creature began to approach them once more. "I will fight this abomination and all others to my last breath." Her tone left no room for argument. She would fight alongside them and fall with them if they failed.
