Chapter 42

"7... 6..." the computerized voiced continued. The ship began to rumble and shake tossing Bulma around like a salad.

Bulma continued to race down the hallways expecting for the launch sequence to be a joke. Boy, was she wrong.

"5..."

~

"It's an honor to serve you!" Kuwi shouted over the rumbling and rocking of the ship.

"What!" Freesia shouted back.

"I SAID IT'S AN HONOR OT SERVE YOU!"

"WHAT!"

"I SAID...OH, NEVERMIND!"

"4..."

Freesia just shrugged and continued to swill his wine round and round. "Ah, the simple pleasures of life" Freesia muttered to himself.

"WHAT!" Kuwi shouted. Freesia just rolled his eyes with no reply.

"3..."

"Where is he going!" Nappa shouted as he watched the ship slowly levitate a few feet off the ground.

"We have to stop him!" Tein shouted.

"There's got to be a way to deprogram it..." Piccolo growled but paid no mind to what he had just said.

"Bulma!" Gohan shouted "Bulma can deprogram it I'm sure she knows how!"

"Only one thing where is Bulma?" Krillen said trembling in fear for his friend.

"What Krillen?" Gohan asked nonchalantly.

"She's not here!" Krillen answered looking over his shoulder at the tree where Bulma had been sitting.

"The ship!" Nappa hissed his voice rising after "She's IN the ship!" Everyone stared in horror at Nappa not daring to believe.

"2..."

"Kuwi!" Bulma slurred as she blasted the telegraphy screen it fuzzed black and white. Kuwi tuned around to be met in the face with a massive Destructo- Disc. His face was massacred; his eyes oozing from their sockets, his royal blue flesh now a deep crimson, and his antenna's twitching wildly in agony.

"Now you die, bastard!" Bulma said as she swung her hand back and connected it with Kuwi's nearly disintegrated neck.

~

"What was that!" exclaimed one of Freesia's minions.

Freesia threw his wine glass to the ground and glared at the screen "NO NOT WHAT BUT WHO!" he shouted foaming at the mouth as the screen flashed for a brief moment for Freesia to see the death of his newly aquatinted right- hand-man -and a blue haired female making the final blow.

Vegeta's snapped back at what he had thought he had heard Nappa say. 'Could she really be in there?' His thoughts were awoken by a slam in the jaw from Ginyu.

"Your feelings are making you weak Vegeta" the purple horned alien taunted "Just like your fathers. If he wouldn't have came back for your carcass he still would've been alive. It's such a pity"

"Shut up!" Vegeta snarled "My fathers death had nothing to do with feelings he didn't come back for ME he came back to..." Vegeta stopped mid-sentence because the spacecraft was rising at an alarming rate into the atmosphere.

Even Ginyu gave up the chance of the cheat shot opportunity because the ship had... had left him!" "KUWI!" Ginyu yelled "KUWI, COME BACK! DON'T LEAVE ME!"

~

Bulma watched Kuwi's head roll down across the ship's floor. His eyes were still open lifeless and dull, and his mouth still in open in a scream. Bulma knelt down and used two fingers to close his eyes "No wonder why Vegeta made this his finisher" she grinned slyly "it's very effective."

"Now to get out of this cheap piece of metal" she muttered to herself as she walked out of the room. She just walked out side the door when a computerized voice came on.

"Launch sequence completed. Destination Lord Freesia's Mother Ship" it said.

"L - L - Launch sequence!" Bulma stuttered "That means I'm..." she ran into the room next to the control room and looked out a window to see the lush green Earth shrinking below her.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

~

"That's it Ginyu," Vegeta sneered "Even if you manage to win this fight you still have to fight the Earthlings. You won't even get past Nappa, or the Namek, the half-breed just might give you a run for your money too. There is no escape for you or any of them." Vegeta said eyeing the two hundred or so of the minions left that were in total panic and chaos. "The ships gone and it ain't coming back for you or any of them. You have NO escape off this planet" Vegeta taunted.

Ginyu paled. Realizing his defeat he feel to his knees. "No." he whispered he voice rising with each syllable "It can't end this way! I will not be beaten!"

~

"Calm down, Bulma. Calm down" Bulma kept repeating to herself as she searched through the corridors, trying to remain calm. "I just have to find the control room and then I can turn this ship back around."

"Arg! Why does this ship have to be so big" she growled as she opened a door to find it was another soldiers' cabin "At least if I'm stuck on this thing I have a bed." She mumbled nonchalantly as she closed the door, and put her back to it. She closed her eyes and sighed "I wonder if they know that I'm gone"

Okay, way too late again. I'm sorry I just haven't been inspired lately.
