A/N – Sorry it has taken so long for me to post, but I'm on spring break, so I'm not at my computer very much, seeing as I'm with my dad (I only see him 3 times a year). I get back home in California in exactly a week, but I think I will post at least chapter 11 by then, but it will be slow, so don't expect anything. Here it is – Please review!
Bulma opened her mouth to say something to Nappa, he had told her about his plan to escape, but she still had a few questions. But, realizing that she still couldn't talk, she sighed. Nappa sensed her frustration – she had not been able to talk for a while now. If this plan worked, though, she should be able to regain her voice, if she is given the proper treatment when we get back to Vegeta's, he thought. But really, n0ow that she had lost her voice, he didn't know what to do. He could talk to her, and she could listen - but she couldn't respond - and he knew he needed her mind to help him figure this one out.
She thought deeply. There must be some way they can communicate. But she didn't know how. So she, motioning with her hands (that he could just see in the light-less cell) that he would have to continue without her being able to talk. So, he did just that.
They decided to commence their plan the next time Bulma was called upon to have her beating. Nappa nodded silently as he took his position. He retraced the steps of their plan in his mind, well, it was his plan, and she did whatever she could to help with input. He knew it probably wouldn't work, or it would go wrong, because –even he knew- that he lacked even the capability of adding 2 + 2 without getting 4. *Its-going-to-work-its-going-to-work* he said over and over in his mind, because he needed to calm his nerves. If this went wrong, it would result in both of their deaths, most likely.
Once again, he tried to think of the plan. It went something like this…
When the door opened, and before they could press the button on Nappa's chains, Nappa was going to knock whoever was lucky enough to be opening the door at that point in time, out. Nappa would be standing right next to the door so he could hit them over the head. He would instantly grab the man, who would have the keys to all the chambers, plus the 'button' that would not only prevent him from getting tied up, but would have the key to get them off. Shutting the door, no one else would be able to get in, and they could make their escape whenever they wanted too. They would probably do it right then – take them by surprise. Nappa would have to carry Bulma, because she was still a little weak, but that would be fine. He could still shoot ki blasts at the on coming soldiers with one hand. Making their escape, he could just fly on over to the Great Forest, or just hit it on the ground in turbo-speed if they had gyrocopters on the lookout, but he didn't think they would have enough time to get ready.
Little did they know that on the floor below them, Chichi was ready to be taken back to the maiden quarters. She had had her punishment fulfilled, and was ready to go back, along with an escort of 50 guards. On the floor below them, 50 guards - not good - but how were they to know?
This, though, turned out to be somewhat of an advantage. Many of the other guards, who were not in her escort, wanted to see her off, so abandoned their posts. Because of this, the only man that was outside of their 'room' was the guard who was opening the door, and was going to be knocked out in just a few moments.
Nappa heard the lock rattle and prepared himself. Now that he was calm, he knew he could do this, it was very simple and actually, he thought, required a lot less action than he had thought.
The noise form the lock became nosier.
The door opened ever so slightly, so that only light could be seen.
It opened more, the top of a head appeared.
Finally, a whole head appeared.
Goodbye.
Nappa did not issue a sound as he brought back his hands and bought them crashing down on the back of the mans skull. He landed on the floor in a heap, not moving, and with the light that emitted form the door, Bulma noticed he wasn't breathing either. He was dead.
Normally, Bulma would have screamed at the site of the dead body that had fallen before her. But she was beyond that. She had seen and been through so much, that when it came to Lord Kinas and his followers, she was more ruthless than even the Saiyains of old – more pitiless than the great legend Vegeta – prince of the Saiyains, who under Freiza's command was feared by all. Instead, she wanted to cry out with joy as she saw this man, who would have brought her even more pain, was now lying on the floor before her, as his heart stopped and the blood slowly drained to the bottom of his body, turning his bottom half blue and the top half pale white – deathly white. (A/N – She is not like this always, she just hates them, with anyone else who wasn't a member of Kinas's group, she would have cried. You get it, right?)
Nappa looked out in surprise as he saw that no one was in the corridor. In between the times that the door was open, he noticed that they had over five guards, not including the one that would come to administer their penalties. All for the better, he thought, so he ran over and found the keys and the remote control. On it were two buttons, the one that locked him up, or released him. Unfortunately, he pressed the wrong one. the magnets in his chains at his wrists and ankles slowly were drawn together, and he fell on his knees. To Bulma, it was a comical scene – this big, tough warrior on his knees – but she knew the situation. So gathering up her strength, she scooted over to the spot were he kneeled. She wished she had a camera, but continued in pressing the opposite button and releasing him from his captured state. Gratefully he let them fall off, and where the were he could see where they had efficiently rubbed the skin off of his wrists, and no the blood ran freely down his hands and arms.
Taking the keys with him, he picked up Bulma and threw her over his shoulder, and ran down the hallway until he came to a flight of stairs that led to the next level, which led to another flight of stairs, and a next story, and so on, and so on. Unfortunately, as he turned the corner, one story down, he ran smack into a group of 10 soldiers, who were leading the procession. Quickly lifting a hand, he blasted them to bits. Bulma, who was able to look over his shoulder, smirked as she heard them scream. But Nappa, who kept going, soon ran into the left over group, who now numbered in 40. Nappa made his way through easily, making a pathway by blasting a couple people here and there, and effectively scaring the rest away – or at least a good distance away. But as he passed them, they were able to come up to his unprotected back. Bulma noticed this, but before she could do anything, they had grabbed her and ripped her out of his arms. He whirled around only to see Bulma in the middle of a group of men that looked like they were protecting her, unlike the real truth – stealing her.
Bulma realized the predicament – she knew that Nappa wouldn't leave without her – he had promised himself that long ago. So she took in a big breath, and leapt up, trying to get close enough for him to hear her. She jumped over a few men, and was able to grab his hand. He pulled, but when she grimaced from the pain, he loosened his grip. Before she was pulled back into the mass of guards, she was able to whisper, even though she knew she couldn't. But, unlike all the other times, she managed to get something out – in a final, despairing plea.
"Tell Vegeta I…I loved him. Go, that's your job, I order you to go…" And with that, she was pulled back. Nappa snapped out of it. That was her wish, and now he had a new message. He would get that message to Vegeta no matter what. Then he realized that he hadn't even told her what Vegeta had said to him when he ordered him to leave. As he turned, the image of Vegeta running down the hallway flashed across his mind. But before the whole scene was reenacted, he ran into Chichi. She had been left unattended, and was in shock as she watched the sight before her.
"Hi." was what he said, before he swept her up, making her take Bulma's place. The men knew that bulma was probably more valuable to Kinas than the rest, because Kinas did 'fancy' Bulma, so they let them run. A few tried in pursuit, but Nappa was to fast. He finally ran outside the door, and blasted off into the sky, both of them scrunching their eyes because they were so used to the darkness of the towers. Soon, the Great Forest was in site, and Nappa slowed as the safe haven was reached. Touching down on the ground, he led Chichi to the opening that he knew would take them home.
A/N – So there it is. Next Ch. will be about what Vegeta was up to during this 4 ½ month period (Nappa was there for around 2 weeks.)! Stay tuned! Please Review!
