Chapter 12: explosion
Capsule Corp:
Bulma was pacing the kitchen, waiting to hear of any news from the others when Emily, Mirai Trunks, Zara and Gohan instant translocated in, making the aged scientist jump up and run over to him.
"Thank Kami you guy's are back! What happened? Where are Goku and Vegeta?" She cried, not hesitating even for a second to start asking her questions.
"They're still fighting two aliens on the spaceship as a fused level five Gogeta, they told us to leave them to it." Gohan explained as the group spread out around the room.
"I can't believe dad talked me into leaving them, what was I thinking?" Emily muttered to herself, staring wide-eyed at a spot on the wall. Mirai Trunks walked over and pulled her into a hug.
"Em, you've been knocked unconscious, he didn't want you to get hurt." He soothed, Emily just pulled out of her husbands grip and folded her arms.
"But I'm not hurt Trunks I'm fine! It's not as though I've haven't been knocked out before." She argued. Before Mirai Trunks could reply, loud footsteps could be heard.
"Mom, what's going on? Are they back?" Trunks's voice called as he and Goten hurriedly turned into the kitchen. Gohan looked over to them and smiled.
"Hey Trunks, Goten, welcome back." He greeted.
"So what happened?" Trunks asked after giving the older demi a small nod for a hello.
"You guy's went into dream like comas, I did too as well as Emily here. I somehow managed to bust out of my dream and took Goku into Emily's, mainly cause she was destroying her house by powering up so much. Anyway, cutting the long story short, I fused with Emily, took out this alien called Molana then when we came out of her dream, we went to a space ship where Goku and Vegeta are still fighting as ssj5 Gogeta." Zara explained, earning herself two shocked stares from her two best friends. Goten blinked as he tried to take it all in.
"So let me get this straight, we were all dreaming so you and Em fused and then went to a spaceship to fight some bad guy. So how did we get out of these dream comas?" He asked.
"Zara busted you out, she reprogrammed the controls to let you out." Gohan explained, Trunks nodded his thanks to Zara who slightly blushed and nodded her head back. Goten noticed it and shot Zara an amused look but quickly shrunk back at the glare Emily shot at him.
Emily had known for a while Zara had feelings for Trunks, after all it was her anger over seeing Trunks die that helped create ssj5 Emra. So she knew that Goten's teasing was the last thing they wanted at the beginning of a relationship.
Well he doesn't want to marry past me, and Zara is a really good person for him, someone to look out for him. She thought smiling a little bit, but she gingerly screened these thoughts, as she didn't want Zara to hear her.
But then her thoughts soon went back onto Gogeta still fighting on the spaceship and narrowed her eyes.
"So what's up with Em?" Trunks asked staring at her now, Gohan looked to his sister.
"Don't mind Em, she got knocked out up there so she's not all there, you know kinda out of it." He said with an amused look as he received a death glare from her.
"Excuse me Gohan? Not all there? What's the matter, too afraid to tell them the other bit about what's going on up there? The real reason I'm upset Trunks is that Gogeta told us to self-destruct the ship. And when he defuses, he might forget about it and..... you know." She mumbled, not wanting to think that far ahead, then turned away.
"Dad could die?" Goten asked.
"Emily, dad wouldn't be so careless, don't worry he'll be fine." Gohan snapped, trying to assure his brother in the process.
"I know he's gonna be fine cause I'm going back up there." Emily shouted.
"What?!" Gohan, Mirai Trunks and Zara yelled at the same time.
"Are you nuts Em? Dad told you to stay here!" Gohan yelled at her.
"Yeah well dad doesn't know I'm conscious. I know their tricks and I'm going to help." She said firmly, putting her fingers to her forehead, ready instant translocate but Gohan lunged at her and grabbed her arms, pinning her to the wall before she could even get a lock on them.
"Your not going anywhere Emily, dad told you to come back for a reason so let them fight. You saw how easily they knocked you out; they could easily do it again. And it's only Gogeta up there so there'll be no one to carry you to safety." He snapped.
"Get off me Gohan! Fine I'll stay but I'm not happy about this! They'd better destroy him." She yelled, pushing him off her. They all went into the lounge from there and sat down eagerly awaiting to find out what was going to happen up in Earth's orbit.
Jacina and Findla's Spaceship.
"So it's about time you got rid of your friends, they would have only gotten in the way." Jacina sneered, Gogeta growled and lunged at him and, catching his stomach, he sent Jacina through a wall then aiming a kick, Findla went hurdling through after his brother.
Glancing at a monitor on the ceiling, Gogeta saw he only had ten minutes left until the ship blew up, which meant he only had five minutes of level five left. He suddenly saw a shadow appearing from the wall and powering up, blast a large energy wave through the hole.
"Uh oh, I haven't got long so I'd better hurry up." He frowned and then looked down to his hands in a mild amusement.
"So this is what it's like for Emily in ssj5. This power is incredible, I wonder why she never liked it." He muttered to himself then shrugged it off and lowered into a fighting stance.
Inside the hole, the two brothers were lying side by side, struggling to get up.
"It's no use Jacina, we cannot win here. these suits are useless compared to his energy. He is even stronger than we first saw that girl." Findla whispered.
"You fool, we won't let them defeat us, we've come too far with our plan." He snapped back, suddenly a siren started going of.
"10 minutes to self-destruction. 10 minutes to self destruction." The ships computer started announcing. Findla's eyes widened.
"What? Self-destruction? Who programmed that? Grr, I bet it was that girl, I knew she had knowledge in spacecraft." He growled, answering his own question in frustration. This was not a good sign.
"Come on, we have to beat this guy, then escape in an emergency pod." Jacina said, nodding they both quickly jumped up and sped out the hole.
"Will you two stop hiding and fight like real warriors, if you don't mind, I'd like to be home next year." Gogeta sneered, then all of a sudden got fisted in the face and then sent into a wall, cracking it a bit, then groaned. Jacina and Findla started snickering as they both stood side by side with their arms crossed.
"Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news." Findla laughed.
"But I'm afraid your not going to even make it home for dinner." Jacina chuckled. Gogeta stood up and narrowed his eyes at the two of them.
"What are you talking about?" He demanded, they looked at each other then back at Gogeta, both wearing identical evil smirks.
"Even if with the biggest miracle that you end up beating us, this ship is going to self destruct, and I am certain that your species can not breath in space." Jacina announced.
"You morons don't you think I know that already? Who do you think gave the signal to hit the self-destruct button on this ship? And I know a little move called instant translocation, how else do you think I got to this ship in the first place? So if all you two are gonna do is waste time talking, I'll like to finish you off now." Gogeta snapped. They both widened their eyes, not sure whether to believe him or not, but quickly narrowed them again.
"So you think you can outsmart us. Well this is our ship and we have a few "little" moves of our own." They both cried lunging at him.
For a couple of minutes they were both blocking attacks, the two brothers somehow matching the saiyan speed of level five. How is it they're keeping up with me? I can barely keep up with Gohmily at level five; actually I didn't think I did. Gogeta thought to himself as he continued to block the brothers' attacks.
"We can hear thoughts on this ship you know, and these suits don't just protect us from your energy but it can also match our speed with yours. Another useful gadget we stole from the Kailens." Findla laughed. Gogeta's eyes widened at the mention of the familiar name. They had been the species warring against Zara's father's species, the Kalroos. But he soon got past that and growled as he lunged at them, sending them into the hole in the wall again.
"7 minutes to self destruction. 7 minutes to self destruction." The computers voice bellowed.
Gogeta floated over to see the temporarily stunned brothers dazed on the floor and quickly put his hands together.
"Big bang Kame..." He started, stirring slightly, the brothers slowly got up, squinting their eyes to get a clear picture of their opponent.
"Ha…me..." Gogeta continued and the ball of energy continued to grow. Jacina and Findla took to the air and lunged at Gogeta, trying their best to avoid the blast.
"Haa!!!" Gogeta screamed, releasing the energy. Stupidly, the two brothers backed together in panic, enabling the energy to hit the two of them, molecular disintegrating them instantly, but the energy hit a wiring case on the wall behind them.
"Self destruction has been damaged, this ship will self destruct in three minutes, I repeat, this ship will self destruct in three minutes." The computer bellowed, causing Gogeta to growl.
"Now look what I've done! I had better get to an escape pod quick! I used up too much of my energy in that attack, I don't have enough to instant translocate home." He muttered running out the room.
Capsule CorpEmily looked up and smiled a bit.
"They've killed them, it's finally over." She announced, everyone cheered at this and Goten and Trunks slapped each other high five.
"Great, way to go Gogeta." Gohan sighed.
"But their move has hit the self destruct monitor, instead of seven minutes to escape, they only have three and they defuse in two minutes. I have to go and help them." Emily declared standing up, only to get pulled back down by Gohan.
"Em, I've told you, dad told you to stay put." He said sternly.
"Gohan there's no more danger on that ship, and Gogeta has zapped all his energy creating his move, he hasn't got enough to get home." She argued.
"And just how do you know that? We can't see what's happening!" Bulma pointed out as she frowned at the younger woman.
"She can read Gogeta's mind from here. Wish I could do the same thing but I can't get an accurate lock on them whilst they're on the ship." Zara said disdainfully as she frowned at the floor.
"So none of you guys know what's going on! But I can and I have to get up there!" Emily cried and jumped back to her feet and managed to get her fingers to her forehead this time before she was dragged back to the evil sofa.
"I don't care if you can see it, your staying here no matter what." Gohan snapped and Emily growled at him, folded her arms. Even as an adult, he still acted like her father.
Findla and Jacina's SpaceshipTwo minutes have passed and Gogeta had split, both Goku and Vegeta were running around the ship trying to figure out which ones were the escape pods.
"Its all in another language! It's not even the one Frieza sometimes used! How are we supposed to know what it stands for?" Vegeta complained in harsh frustration and slammed a door, which turned out to lead to the medical bay.
"I don't know Vegeta, but we better find out which room the pods are in before this place blows, we've got three minutes to get off the ship." Goku replied, wincing at the siren announcing that another minute had passed. Growling, Vegeta ran to the bridge where the self-destruction button was first off but was quickly pulled out by Goku.
"What on Earth do you think your doing Kakarot? Do you even want to get off this ship alive?" He growled, thrusting out of the 'third class's' grip. Goku frowned and just pointed to the bridge in reply. Vegeta looked just in time to see the room erupt into flames.
"All the machinery here is slowly over heating. We have to get off this ship in the next minute or the pods won't work." He said
"Two minutes to self destruct!" The computer chose this moment to announce.
"Come on, move it Kakarot! This place isn't going to wait around to explode. Why did you have to use up your energy anyway?" Vegeta snapped, running along a corridor. Goku followed, frowning at the back of Vegeta's head.
"Hey it was the first time Gogeta was at level five Vegeta, you should be proud of this not annoyed." He protested. Vegeta just shook his head.
"Ninety seconds to self destruct, escape pods are no longer at function." The computer announced again, making Vegeta and Goku stare at each other in shock.
"Any more bright ideas?" Vegeta asked.
Capsule CorpThey were all sitting in the lounge anxiously awaiting the return of Goku and Vegeta, when all of a sudden Jake and Alex appeared out of nowhere.
"Mom! Dad! You guy's are home!" They cried running over to them.
"How did you two get here? We told you to stay with your Grandma!" Emily exclaimed in surprise.
"Mom, I know instant translocation remember, Grandpa Goku taught me." Alex said. Emily stared at her daughter thoughtfully.
"Don't worry, Daisy is still with Grandma." Jake added.
"Instant translocation. Alex you're a genius, I'll be back in two ticks." Emily announced getting up.
"Emily where are you going?" Mirai Trunks asked.
"I'm going to get our dads back! Dad can't instant translocate home, Vegeta can't do it, so I'll go up and bring them home." She declared.
"Em, I've just told you, dad told you to.." Gohan started but Emily cut in.
"Stay here. And Gohan, I'm sick of listening to that. I was out cold so they didn't tell me anything. Besides, the pods aren't working anymore, so it's up to one of us to get them home. I'm going and no one try to stop me." She said putting two fingers to her forehead and instant translocating out. Gohan sighed and sat back against the couch.
"That girl…" he grumbled, earning a snicker from a certain pair of demi-saiyan boys.
Jacina and Findla's ship (or what's left of it)
Emily arrived to find the room they had been in previously in flames.
"Dad? Vegeta? Gogeta?" She yelled, walking through a hole in the wall. The sound of footsteps greeted her ears and her father and Vegeta turned a corner to face her.
"Emily, what are you doing here? I thought I told you to go home." Goku said, startled to find her there.
"Why does everyone keep reminding me that, and besides, since when do I listen? I've come to take you both back since there is no other way off this ship." She announced smirking. Goku and Vegeta grabbed her shoulder.
"Fine, just do that little trick." Vegeta said.
"30 seconds to self destruction." The computer announced.
"Your welcome Vegeta." Emily said slightly sarcastically and instant translocated to earth.
Capsule CorpArriving in the lounge, Emily ran to the window to see a bright light in the blue sky, to what other people thought looked like a second sun.
"Well that's the end of them." She said, turning to face the others. Alex and Jake were hugging their grandfather whilst Bulma was crying on Vegeta's shoulder.
"Get off me woman." He snapped, but Bulma knew that he was happy to see her even if she did give him a snide remark about it.
Trunks walked awkwardly over to Zara.
"Thanks for freeing me from that dream Zar, I really appreciate it." He said shyly.
"Anytime Trunks...it didn't exactly look…enjoyable." Zara replied, just as awkwardly. Trunks grinned at her then continued with what he wanted to ask.
"Listen, if your staying on Earth for a bit, then I was kind of wondering if you wanna go the movies with me or something. Just as friends?" He asked. Zara caught Emily watching them and saw her smiling and nodding. Zara then turned back to Trunks.
"I'd love that." She replied with a happy smile plastered over her face.
"We have to have a party to celebrate!" Bulma cried after her 'touching moment with her husband. Everyone sweat dropped at this.
"We have a party after every battle! Oh well, it'll be something to take our minds off the dreams we 'saw'" Emily replied shuddering a bit. Just the thought was too much for her.
"And we have a bedroom to reconstruct." Mirai Trunks added. Emily grinned.
"Ah don't worry about the bedroom Trunks, I'll have that fixed in no time." She replied and after that everyone went their separate ways, arranging to meet back after a good nights rest for the party.
