Chapter 39
~
Bulma landed quietly on the sacred courtyard of Kami's lookout. She walked over to a patch of hibiscuses and gave a low whistle. "For his age, Mr. Popo, sure does know how to keep a garden" she said as she plucked one and sniffed it lightly. She loved her Sayain senses they made her feel more -alive.
She gently wove the flower in her hair 'I wonder where he is though -Kami too?' she wondered as she looked around 'This place is deserted. The peace and quiet is pretty nice though'
She finished weaving the flower through her hair and brought her hands to her cheeks and pointed them out around to form a funnel around her mouth.
"Hello!" she called "Is anyone here? Kami, Mr. Popo?" Her voice echoed through the empty corridors, mimicking itself over and over. So much for peace and quiet.
Bulma scanned the fortress once again and groaned in discontentment "Where are they?"
Bulma sighed nonchalantly 'It must be time for their naps'. She leapt up over the 3 steps that lead up to the solid wood double doorway that lead to the Grand Palace of the Lookout. She was about to rest her hand on the sparkling gold doorknob when she felt a hand clamp down on her shoulder. She stumbled backward in surprise and tripped over the small rack of steps. A small chuckle emitted from the duo.
"That wasn't funny!" Bulma protested even though she was smiling whole heatedly. "I looked everywhere for you guys where were you?"
"We were at Korin's tower" Kami explained "We saw you approaching and wanted to catch up so we could give you these...." Kami pulled a small deerskin pouch out of his tunic.
Bulma reached out for the pouch gratefully "Oh wow, thank you!" she said enthusiastically. "Good thing you came back from Korin's and brought me these. I would've never checked there for you two" she laughed and continued "Besides, I totally forgot about the beans -even though I really shouldn't have taken the situations" her cheery face darkened. "That is why I came here. To ask you if I could use the chamber"
Kami and Popo exchanged worried glances. "What for?" Popo interjected "You are stronger then all of those Brutes, don't be discouraged by that small one's ability"
Bulma looked away "That's not why I want to use the chamber..." she paused unsure of what to say. Should she tell them? She bit her lip -they would find out sooner or later anyway, but still.
"Bulma, is there some kind of danger that we should know about?" Kami pleaded "You can tell me"
Bulma looked back at Kami. "I can only tell you if you swear, and by the kai's you swear you cannot tell a soul until the time comes"
The two nodded "We swear" the said together.
"You see, it's like this. Freesia has sent over all of his top forces to Earth to reclaim Vegeta -and capture me. But the thing is all of his top forces are being overcome with such ease by Vegeta, and I, and everyone else."
Kami interjected "But that's a good thing right?"
"Overall no." She said flatly "Because Freesia has no one left to send. His top two right hand men, his elite force, and probably a half of overall army, have been defeated -or are in the process of"
"I still don't understand your point, It's good that his forces are being annihilated. Is it not?" Kami reasoned.
Bulma started again but her voice was quiet and she was finding it hard to find the words she wanted to say "If there's no one left then..."
"Then?" Popo asked in a way to beckon her to continue on.
She took a deep breath and looked them both in their eyes. Timed seemed to stop, even the comfortable breeze there was up on the courtyard stopped, the only sound was that of her own heart. Her voice was low and contained no emotion at all "Then won't he come himself?"
Popo and Kami's mouths dropped. They looked at her in total horror and shock. Was she right? She couldn't be... could she?

Vegeta waited for the smoke to clear, expecting Recoome to emerge from the rubble. He wiped some blood from the corner of his mouth. He drew his eyes to onlookers "Well?" he shouted.
Piccolo mumbled something about 'having cows' that made the boy laugh a little. Vegeta couldn't quite pick up what he said, but really he paid no mind to it, there were more important things to worry about.
"He's still in there a little bit!" Tein shouted "Just use your finish move now, while you still have a chance!"
Vegeta lip curled into its trademark smirk "GALLET GUN!" he shouted releasing a massive pink blast with golden jolts of electricity veining through it. Vegeta wasn't a huge fan of the coloring -but hey it did get the job done.
Things were going good with the Ginyu Force. So far Guldo, Burter, and Recoome were disposed of. Only Jeice and the Captain himself were left.
"Yeah, he's gone all right" Krillen stuttered. He was a little shook up by the whole 'GALLET GUN' thing. It was a massive blast, but it still was pretty cool.
"I wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of that blast" Yamcha said from behind Krillen.
"I think that goes without saying. Don't you think" Krillen joked.
"yeah, you're right about that" Yamcha replied.

"I think it's about time I got back to battle" Bulma said breaking the icy silence. "They might need these" she said shaking the bag of senzu's lightly.
"You are a brave woman, Bulma" Mr. Popo said taking a small bow. "I honor and have the up-most respect for you"
Bulma blushed a little "Thank you, Mr. Popo and I you." She said returning the bow.
"The chamber will be ready in about 2 days at the latest" Kami informed. "How much food and supplies should I stock"
Bulma looked to the sky in thought "A lot" she said through a smile. She patted her stomach "We Sayain's have 'healthy' appetites."
"Will do" Kami smiled warmly "Will do"

Someone: Ooooh, what will happen?
Me: I don't even know yet :P
HELP! @_@
