Chapter 49: The Guardian
Bob waited impatently in his hideout. "What's taking so long?"
Then, a figure in shadows approached from behind.
He glanced behind him. "Its about time you got here."
The figure bowed slightly. "Forgive me, I wasn't expecting your summons."
Bob's gaze softened a little, but only a little. "Forgiven. Now, you know what to do."
The figure nodded. "Yes, my lord."
~*~*~*
The three fighters touched down on the top of Kami's lookout. Rose still was gripped onto Trunks.
Slowly, she peaked her eye out and seen they weren't flying anymore. Slowly, she slipped onto the solid ground and breathed a sigh of relief.
Trunks looked at her with a mischevious gleam in his eye. "What do you say we take a look over the edge?"
Rose frightfully looked at the lookout's edge. She closed her eyes and showed a look of pure determination as she crossed her arms. "No thanks."
David jumped off Piccolo and went over to the girl. "Feeling better?"
"I will when there is dirt under my feet."
Piccolo walked away. "I'll find Dende."
Then a thought hit Rose. "You guys never told me: Who is Dende?"
David looked on with interest.
Goku smiled. "Well, Dende, see he's this planet's guardian."
An image came into Rose's head and she tried to imagine what Dende looked like. A picture of a guy wearing a sailor suit popped into her mind.
A similar image was in David's head. "A planet guardian? Just like back home!" He looked at Goku. "Does every planet in this solar system have a guardian?"
Goku looked thoughtful. "No, I don't think so."
Rose and David nodded in understanding.
~*~*~*
Piccolo approached Dende. "Dende. There is someone here to see you."
Dende looked at him bewildered, but quickly went to a nearby window and looked at the girl in question. "Who is she?"
Piccolo smiled. "It's a long story."
~*~*~*
"What's taking so long?" Trunks said, clearly impatient.
Rose would never have said it, but she was thinking the exact same thing.
"Ah, here they come!" Goku said.
Rose looked and seen the green guy coming back. Beside him, a smaller, younger-looking green guy approached. 'That's the guardian?'
The small guy smiled at Rose and bowed slightly. "Nice to meet you; your highness. I am Dende, this planet's guardian."
Rose curtseyed back. "How do you do?"
David was not so polite. "You're not human?"
'Oh, God.' Rose thought. 'I hope David didn't insult him!'
But, fortuaatly, Dende smiled. "Nope, I'm a Namekian, from the planet Namek."
Rose and David blinked. "Namek?"
"A planet that is very far away from this solar system." Trunks said. "A time ago, their planet was destroyed by an evil being known as Frieza. After Goku defeated him, we used the dragon balls to give them a new planet to stay on."
Rose was bewildered. 'Dragon Balls?'
"So, Dende, do you have any idea of how we can get Rose back to her own world?" Piccolo asked.
Dende sighed. "The only possibility I can think of is the dragon balls."
The others, other than Rose and David, sighed heavily.
"Um, what are the dragon balls?" Rose asked.
Dende looked at her. "They are seven gold balls that, when brought together, summons a magical dragon. That dragon can grant the person who summoned him any two wishes."
"Like a genie?"
Dende nodded. "But there's a few catches. First, the dragon cannot grant the same wish twice, and second, after the dragon grants the wishes, the dragon balls scatter around the world and become regular stones for a year."
"And the problem is." Piccolo interrupted. "That now, the dragon balls ARE regular stones, and we can't call the dragon."
Dende looked hopeful. "Yes, but the year is almost up! I estimate that in or around a month, we could use them again!"
"That's good news!" Goku said.
But Rose looked worried. 'A whole month? I'm stuck here for a month?'
Then, an aura shot through her heart like lighting. "Oh, no."
Trunks, Goku, and David looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"I sense an enemy."
