Zhen looked at the scouter again. "Nothing."
They were flying for over three hours now over the town with no luck. They flew over the town first, then went deeper into the woods and finally reached the mountains, to no avail.
"I'm telling you, Zhenny, the girl left the country," said Monroe.
Realizing that Monroe might be right, Zhen told Monroe, "You're probably right. Maybe we should start flying out of Japan."
Within an hour of flying over the water, the scouter started to beep. "It's coming from that way," Zhen said, pointing toward the direction the scouter was indicating.
"There's an island," said Monroe. "She must be over there."
"Let's step on it, buddy," Zhen said.
They both powered up and rushed toward the island.
Marron and Rhea awoke abruptly as they sensed the approaching Kis. "Do you feel that?" asked Rhea.
"Yes," responded Marron. "Two powerful Kis coming, fast." Marron stood up. "It's Zhen and his friend. We are not going to be able to wait any longer. We have to get the Dragonball now."
Rhea nodded and started to get the six Dragonballs ready. She followed Marron all the way up toward floating lair.
Dende walked out of the little house when he felt the approaching Kis. Mr. Popo looked at the Earth Guardian with a worried face, showing that he also felt it too.
"Dende, I feel the evil coming," said Mr. Popo.
"Yes, Mr. Popo, I feel it too."
Several minutes later, two females flew up and landed on the aerial station. One of them, a blonde of about 18, wore a brown leather suit resembling the traditional Amazon attire. This one was a stranger to Dende. The other, a bit older, Dende knew. She also had blonde hair and she wore a dark blue cloak over tight black suit the accentuated her curvy body. She was remarkably beautiful. The only particular feature about her was her eyes, which were a bloody red.
"It's been a long time, Dende," she said. "It is good to see you."
"I'm sorry I can't say the same to you, Marron," Dende responded.
"Oh, Dende, I'm hurt," Marron responded mockingly. "Is that any way to speak to an old friend?"
"The Marron I knew died 16 years ago. You are not that person."
"Well, who wants to get into specifics. That's not why I'm here."
Dende walked up a little. "I know why you are here."
"Good, then you know what you have to do."
A look of confusion came toward the Guardian's face. "Oh, you got me there, Marron. What is it I am supposed to do?"
Marron's face became still now. She looked at her companion behind her for a second and turned again. "Why, that is to hand it over, of course," she said.
Dende looked at Mr. Popo and laughed. The poor little guy seemed confused though. Marron looked a little taken aback. "I'm sorry, Marron, that little detail must have slipped my mind."
Marron became angry at the mockery and yelled, "All right, you fucking Namek, you have tried my patience enough already! Give me the fucking Dragonball or you will be sorry!"
Dende quieted down now. "You know I can't do that, Marron. As Guardian of the Earth, I just can't do that."
Marron turned again toward her companion, who was quiet the whole time, and said, "I was hoping he would say that." She then stepped back toward the young girl. "I won't even bother with him. Go get me my Dragonball, my daughter."
Rhea walked up toward the Namek. Dende stood in a fighting stance. Without warning, Rhea flew up toward Dende and hit him straight in the stomach.
"DENDE!!" yelled Mr. Popo. He ran toward were the Guardian was knelt. Rhea saw this and shot a Ki blast toward him that sent him flying back and left him unconscious.
"STOP IT!! LEAVE HIM ALONE!!" Dende said. He managed to stand up. "It's between me and you."
He charged toward the girl, only to receive a knee in the stomach again and a fist in the face, sending him back toward a nearby pillar. The girl followed her attacks by pounding the Nameks face. Only when she saw him slipping down did she stop.
"I'm sorry for all this, Dende," Marron said, grinning. "But you left me no choice." She went into the house, Rhea following. They came out a few moments later, Dragonball in hand. "Finally, I have all seven Dragonballs! Now I'll be able to wish my master onto the Earth!"
"I don't think so!"
Marron and Rhea turned to see Zhen and Monroe landing. "Let go of that Dragonball or I'll be force to take it!" Monroe said.
Rhea stepped in front of Marron and got in a fighting stance. "Then take it, because we are not giving it up!"
"Well, that's just fine then." replied Monroe. He was about to charge when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Wait. I'll take care of her," Zhen said. "This one is personal."
"Be my guess. Don't take long, though. I don't want here all day."
Zhen walked up toward the girl. Rhea's face softened a little. Am I going to have to fight him? She thought. He must have taken it pretty hard and now he's looking for revenge. She wasn't looking forward towards this.
Zhen spoke up. "Well, we meet again."
Rhea didn't respond. She bent her head.
"What's the matter? Getting scared? Well, she should have thought about that before you took something from me! Now get ready to fight!"
With that he charged toward her. She dodged out of the way and flew up. He followed her and speeded up until he was over her head. He caught her with a hammer strike on her head that sent her flying back down. She crashed on the ground. Zhen headed back down ready to follow his attacks. He was about to stomp Rhea, but she rolled right out of the way and stood back up. Zhen charged again with a flurry of punches and kicks. Rhea evaded as much as she could, but Zhen pounded her face with a one-two combo, hit her in the stomach with a right fist and finished off with a left uppercut on her chin. She flew back and fell straight on her back.
"What the FUCK are you holding back for, you fool?" Marron yelled furiously. "Fight him and finish him!"
Zhen and Monroe looked in confusion. Was she really holding back? If she was, why?
Rhea stood back up. Blood was coming out of her nose and mouth. Zhen messed her up pretty badly. Rhea looked at Marron, who gave her a stern face. Rhea turned and thought for a minute. Finally, she got in a fighting stance. "AAAAAHHHHH!" she yelled. She then flew toward Zhen.
