Chapter 42
Vegeta glared at her before they dodged another attack. He found himself wrapped up in Bu's arm again. Then he found himself being flung through the air in a trajectory that would cause him to hit many boulders.

Anemone shot into the air and went in front of her cousin's path, striking the stones away from where they had been so that he wouldn't get as hurt from the impacts. Quite suddenly, Vegeta was pulled through the ground, brought back up and slammed into it.

"That's enough, Bu!" Mr. Satan declared, leaping into the battle. He was successful in diverting the evil thing away.

Anemone landed next to her cousin and handed him a seed. "Here, Vegeta."

"Something's wrong." Goku panted as he sank to the ground and fell back to his original form. His breathing was still heavy as the others approached. "This body is an energy guzzler." Anemone touched his shoulder and held out a seed.

"This may not get you back up to full power, but at least those injuries won't be draining your energy."

He accepted the bean then looked into her eyes. "Keep the rest of them. You may end up needing one as well."

She nodded. I only have one left. If someone else needs it before I do, that one will get it. Her gaze traveled to the field. "I think they're going to need my help." She leapt into the sky in a flash of blue. Good Bu lay at his other side, unconscious. "Quite the surprise, Mr. Satan."

The amazon slid down into a lion guard, glaring at Kid Bu. He lunged then found himself flying away from the force of a tornado kick.

Kid Bu tumbled to the dirt and sprang back to his feet with a snarl. Mr. Satan struck the enemy's side, knocking him down again; as Bu hadn't been expecting it.

Suddenly, a ki blast knocked both to the ground. "Leave him be! He Bu friend!" Good Bu stood there with his mittened hand outstretched.

"Welcome back, Bu." Anemone declared as she landed next to him from a leap she'd taken. An astonished look was on Mr. Satan's face. He rushed over as Bee barked happily.

"Bee!" Good Bu happily cried, greeting his friends.

But the reunion was cut short when the other Bu leapt back to his feet and attacked once more. Anemone punched him back, following it up with a hard kick. A flash of pink shot past her as Good Bu head butted his counter part in the stomach. She pulled back, startled.

Then, from a far off place, she felt a familiar power awaken. Porunga. Ha, Vegeta always figures something out. Anemone shifted her gaze to the sky. Genki Dama! Her obsidian eyes closed for a brief second as she let some of her own ki join the growing sphere. Subconsciously, she checked on her friends and found that they were indeed back on Chikyuu.

Mr. Satan's angered cry drew her attention back to the battle. Good Bu couldn't access any more ki and he appeared a more than a little beaten up. The amazon teleported over to his side and lightly touched his arm. "Bu, this should help." She placed a bean in his hand.

"What it called?" He inquired.

"It's a senzu bean. They heal injuries and restore strength." She purposely kept her explanation soft, as well as keeping an eye on the evil kid.

"Bu, try." He ate the bean and then made a face. "Taste nasty, but worked."

"Pace yourself." She whispered. You can't hit him all at once. Pace yourself and make the large attacks when they count.

Good Bu nodded, understanding what she meant. Both leapt into the air, attacking simultaneously. Evil Kid Bu was having a more difficult time blocking both their attacks. Pain raced through him as each punch, kick and attack hit home.

They pulled back so that Good Bu could have a breather. Anemone powered up her attack. "GALE FORCE!!!!" She launched the glowing blue sphere and the force of the wind came with the explosion. A pink ki ball followed it up, creating another explosion.

Kid Bu emerged from the smoke, beaten and battle-weary. Stubbornly, he regenerated himself to attack again. He stopped short and flew the other way when Anemone threw a kienzen. It tailed him like a smart bomb then, when it was half way through him, it exploded.
