Chapter 2: The Captain of the SSPS
Wrrrrr!
The engine roared as Gohan's spaceship shot out of the atmosphere. What did Bulma mean by stealing? He got the radar from his universe... his Bulma. For a dimension that was so advanced, it seemed odd that they were just making a dragon radar... and they did not have dragonballs on their planet (or in this galaxy) so how did they find out about them?
More questions unanswered...
Gohan was getting frustrated. Being a smart boy, he had questions, and he was used to getting them answered. Not here.
He blinked.
He realized hadn't moved since he initiated lift off. He looked around the space craft, it wasn't much different then the one back home. The tiles were a different color and he noticed the gravity could go up to 800 instead of 500.
That would be great for training, he thought smiling.
Walking over to the window, he looked outside.
Space.
The starlight shone through the windows as Gohan leaned forward to get a better view. He had always love space. The eternity of it never ceased to amaze him. Everything was perfect...beautiful. How could something so amazing be so dangerous? So cold?
Gohan continued to stare, until something caught his eye. There was a ship. And it was following him.
Chief Hirou hung up the phone after his conversation with Bulma. He was not happy.
The Chief took out a large cigar and sat back in his chair fuming.
The front guards opened the door and General walked into the large office, the door closing silently behind him and began walking towards the Chief.
"General!!!" the Chief barked.
Quickly, the General ran up to his Chief.
"Yes sir?" He asked in a professional voice.
"It seems out security was not enough to guard our radar. Do you know of this?" the Chief asked in a stern voice.
"Sir, we were just going to inform you of it. We caught the culprit and we have him in custody." the General said proudly.
"Good job." beamed the Chief. "I knew no one could get past our superior security system. Give a call to Dr. Briefs for an identification check."
The General nodded and headed for the door, but almost bumped into a smaller man.
"Call for General Hercule Satan, in your office sir, its your daughter." he said in a meek voice.
"Tell her she'll have to wait, I've got very important business to attend to." General Satan said in a gruff voice, pushing past the small man.
Generals cannot be weak.
They cannot be with held up with such minor things such as their daughters...
"Yes sir." The small man said, taking one last look into the office at the Chief, then leaving quickly, the door shutting with a soft click.
The Chief was all alone in his office again, to smoke his cigar.
Ring... Ring... Ring... click!
"Bulma Briefs speaking."
"Uh huh."
"Great!"
"Be over in a second."
"Buh bye."
click!
Bulma hung up the phone. They caught him. She smiled.
Good, the little thief...
She quickly left her lab, securely locking it behind her.
I wonder if the ship is still in tact, she thought hopefully.
Sliding into her hover car, she slammed the door and took off.
When Bulma arrived, the guards escorted her to the Chief's office, where she now sat.
"Bring him in." The Chief ordered. He was eager to see the criminal and press charges.
Bulma fidgeted with her hair impatiently
She heard the sounds of foot steps approaching, dragging and struggling.
Finally, the large doors opened.
Wait...that isn't...
The solders were dragging up to them, a large man.
... him.
The man looked in his late 20s, he had wild black hair (hardly contained in a kerchief) and wore ragged clothes with a long brown tail whipping furiously behind him. His face was strong and tan, his eyes shining, and full of anger. The man also had a very advanced ki restraint collar on, (with such powerful aliens on the planet, they could not risk not having such an invention.) he was obviously very strong... which made him dangerous.
Finding her voice, she spoke.
"There must be some mistake, this isn't him."
Everyone looked at her, including the man.
"With all due respect, this must be him Dr. Briefs! He is a saiyan, and he was carrying the dragon radar!" One of the solders explained.
Bulma was confused.
"The person I saw take the radar was a boy! A young man." She said remembering him.
"It could be possible that the boy gave the radar to this man." Said the other solder, thinking.
The Chief stared at the prisoner.
"What is your name, thief?" he asked, sitting forward in his chair.
The man smiled softly.
"I am Kakarotto, captain of the S.S.P.S."
Gohan stood there at the window, panicking.
They were gaining on him.
He knew the ship was going as fast as it could go... he needed to escape or they would surely capture him.
Gohan need something faster... smaller...
Then three words came to his mind:
Emergency escape pod.
A thread of hope!
He smiled.
Rushing to the escape pod, he jumped in. Gohan suddenly heard the banging on his outer door of his space ship.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His eyes widening, he quickly put on his seat belt, and he was just going to start the machine when...
I forgot the key
Cursing, he quickly unbuckled him self and jolted towards the key that was hanging up by the gravity controls.
Why do you need a key to a emergency escape pod?!
Running back to the pod, he tripped.
BANG!
The door behind him flew off with a piercing screech of metal behind him.
Gohan looked back over his shoulder from his situation on the ground. There was no more door.
He seized the flooring. Gohan was being pulled back forcefully by the vacuum of space. The oxygen in his ship was leaving rapidly.
Gohan started crawling towards the small pod when he heard another noise behind him.
Several men in space suits, equipped with guns, started coming onto his ship.
Crap.
Using his strength he threw himself into the pod closing it behind him.
The men started running towards his pod in their space suits, firing their guns
Gohan shoved the key into the ignition and started the space pod. Turning the escape pod to full throttle he shot the pod out through ship and back into open space.
Breathing heavily, he put on his seat belt.
He narrowly escaped, yet again.
One thought entered his mind.
I'm hungry.
