Here's chapter 135! Thanks to Rawrzx3 and DarkReina for the reviews for chapter 134.
A/N: Internet issues and storms have kept me from updating a bit as has work on other fics. On with the chapter!...
...
Daiz glumly stared at the energy bars that comprised his cell. His "trial" had lasted mere seconds with a sentence being issued immediately. A defense was deemed completely unnecessary as his association with Turles was considered evidence enough to validate proof of his crimes. Well it had been an interesting, often entertaining existence. It just stung that he was turned over by someone that he had truly learned to care for. More than stung, it actually caused physical pain to realize the blue-haired beauty must never have really cared for him at all. Did he love her? Well he certainly thought so, Daiz hadn't had many romantic involvements. He only knew he missed the bluenette's smile, her laughter, her sweet kiss that made his head spin, her sheer presence. If he survived this situation by some miracle, maybe it would be prudent to put off any further romantic entanglements for a time.
...
Jeiclyn cursed as Turles disabled her left arm. If there was just some way of making this monster feel the pain she felt being unable to destroy her brother's murderer. Her Crusher Ball had been wildly thrown missing its intended target. A cold smile suddenly crossed her face, of course! She knew just the thing that would make the cursed ape suffer...
"Tha' green-haired woman at tha' medical station was yer's wasn' she?" the Brench taunted.
"WHAT?" Turles snarled.
"Yes, ya specifically ordered her ta be delivered there. Dodoria picked up tha transmission while he searched for Vegeta. Ah suppose tha brat she carried was yer's as well..."
A cold chill went through the livid Saiyan. Was the woman hinting that she was there when Zailora and his child were obliterated?
"By yer reaction Ah'm positive tha' little bas.."
"Consider the state of your existence before you utter another word!" the pirate hissed.
"Dodoria graciously allowed me tha' pleasure o' sending that Kabochan bitch and her mongrel straight ta' Hell!" Jeiclyn crowed.
For further emphasis she raised her right hand and mockingly made a sound reminiscent of a ki-blast.
Before she could even blink Turles had seized her once more. Jeiclyn was forced to breathe through her nose as an iron grip held her jaws together. Her eyes widened in horror as his hand slid higher and slowly began to squeeze. She couldn't pry him loose though she desperately clawed at his hand. Bones began to splinter, blood began to flow...
A muffled scream was all Jeice's sibling could manage before her lifeless body was flung to the ground by the planet marauder. He raised his right foot and destroyed what little remained of the woman's skull. It was time to leave this place the carrion of this world could see to her burial.
...
An excited Bulma took her seat on the small shuttle that would carry her and Chi-Chi to the small outer world known as Kanish. There they could seize the ship she had constructed and start the search for the Dragon Balls and...
"This still just doesn't feel right, Bulma!" Chi-Chi insisted as she settled into the seat beside the bluenette.
"Don't be feeling guilty about Daiz. He made the choice to go along with Turles's murderous rampage on Earth. Remember we're doing this to bring back our family and friends, " Bulma stated.
Chi-Chi nodded but the utterly heartbroken visage of the Kabochan pirate still haunted her. She shivered as she considered what Turles's reaction to their escape would be. And what about Gohan...how would he take the news about Daiz?
...
Gohan clapped his right hand over his mouth so he wouldn't erupt into giggles at the sight of the groaning Kardanagan who was covered from head to toe with bright purple splotches. The door to the ship opened revealing a blood-drenched Turles. It was quite evident to his two crew members that the blood wasn't his own.
Gartoas grumbled under his breath as the pirate commander burst into laughter at his appearance. He glared at the half-ling who could no longer contain his personal amusement.
The hefty pirate wished he'd never consumed a crumb of the meal the raven-haired witch had prepared. First he'd had the mother of all bellyaches and now he itched from head to toe. Everywhere he'd scratched erupted into purple blotches that itched even worse!
"What have you done to yourself Gartoas?" the Saiyan queried between snickers.
"Those blasted women put somethin' in muh' food! " the former thief bellowed.
Turles narrowed his eyes obviously the two females had collaborated on disabling the bearded behemoth.
"And where are they now?"
"Daiz took 'em with 'im ta get some supplies..."
"But that was hours ago! " Gohan interrupted.
Turles tapped his scouter as it signaled an incoming message. Gohan exchanged a worried glance with the now silent Kardanagan as the Saiyan's face darkened in anger as he accepted the message.
"It appears Daiz is currently enjoying the hospitality of Quiltor prison, " the brigand growled.
"But what about my mom and Bulma?" the demi-Saiyan shouted.
"Daiz was turned over for arrest by BULMA!"
Gohan stood with his mouth hung open too stunned to move. He was all too aware of just how Daiz had felt about Bulma...
Why would Bulma do such an awful thing? It didn't make any sense!
Gartoas shook his head. He'd warned the stubborn Kabochan but his admonitions had fell on deaf ears. Now the former royal could possibly pay with his life.
"Commander, what are we going to do?" Gohan pleaded.
"It's quite simple, we are going to interrupt an execution, " Turles replied...
...
Appule cursed under his breath. For some reason the tracking device he'd installed under the flesh of Vegeta's right shoulder was no longer emitting a signal. Had the fool Saiyan damaged it somehow? Frieza would be none too pleased to learn that the renegade prince had slipped away once again.
The Saiyan prince breathed a sigh of relief. A full day had passed without some of Frieza's ilk in hot pursuit at his heels. He needed to secure some transportation off of this detestable rock he'd been forced to flee to. But first he was going get his hands on some food. Vegeta couldn't remember the last time he'd had as much as a morsel of sustenance.
...
"I shouldn't NEED permission to remove MY ship from this port! I created that ship!" Bulma fumed.
The vermillion serpentine being that manned the Kanish Port Authority post refused to acknowledge Bulma's ownership.
"I'm sorry miss but we take our security measures seriously here and you are not cleared to remove the aforementioned craft from this port, ' the scaly official stated firmly.
"Look, if it's a matter of expense.."
The snake-ling drew himself up to his full height and interrupted before the daughter of Dr. Brief could even complete her sentence.
"Madam, are you attempting to bribe a Port Authority officer?"
"NO! I simply want my property back!"
"You have absolutely no proof of ownership and I distinctly heard you offer currency in place of a permission of removal statement..."
"I'm trying to get YOU to be reasonable!" Bulma shouted.
"Refusal to comply with an officer's orders, attempted bribery..."
A powerfully muscled life-form that looked like a grey humanoid rhinoceros seized Chi-Chi roughly by the left shoulder. In sheer outrage at being man-handled in such a manner the Ox-princess delivered a punch that dropped the alien to its knees.
"Add assaulting an officer to the list of charges!" the reptilian officer declared.
"Charges?" the Earth-born scientist repeated.
A beefy blue elephantine entity stepped forward.
"The two of you are under arrest for violations of code 239, 584 and 433 of the Kanish Port Authority, " ...
...
Until the next chapter!
