Sorry it's been a long time since I've updated. Real life has been quite busy. My husband and I got a dog, as I'm sure you've seen in my other story notes. Crowley has been keeping us busy and recently he's had his surgery and doesn't want to rest as he's supposed to. Puppies love to play but he needs to rest and heal. It's going to be a long week. Here's the next chapter of this story since I've had a bit of time to work on it. It may need a rework or two if there are any plot inconsistencies. PM me if so.

Five – A Quick Plan
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Vegeta grumbled under his breath as he shot across the desert like a bullet. Time was running out and his relocation would have to be in just under two days. He waited until Frieza cleared the atmosphere before rushing to the hidden base deep underground, his body quaking with the effort. This was his fault, he was to blame, but he wouldn't dwell on it. The safety of the saiyans now rested on his shoulders alone. He saw everyone going about their lives, trading goods, building shelters, working on space crafts. The time was now, it had to be today.
He settled on the highest point in the central hub and his ki spiked into a flash that made people stop and take notice. "Come forth and listen."
His voice was heard, a hollow echo, teeming with pain. "The king has fallen by the hands of Frieza. I am at fault. My mission here had blinded me and now we have little time to move away from the planet. Frieza has tasked me with a mission but I have a plan. It will take us 24 hours to leave here and another day for me to make my escape under the guise of his mission. This will be tricky. We have six hours until the planet is rotated enough for him not to notice the ship that is to carry our survivors. Is it space ready?"
"It is, my lord." Bardock came forward then, with Bulma by his side. "With her help, we are ready to leave the planet by your word."
"Good." Vegeta sighed. "Begin your preparations, we leave one hour after nightfall. I will follow you after the proposed deadline. Bardock, Bulma. With me. We have much to discuss."
"Yes, my prince."

Bulma watched the other saiyans scatter as they began cleaning up and packing. She felt a bit out of place. Kakarot and Bardock had welcomed her with open arms but others were wary of her. Rightfully so, she supposed, she wasn't exactly natural. However, she did find a friend in the human Kakarot saved. Chi-Chi was fun, talented, and an amazing cook. She was happy to have a fellow scientist to talk to. Bardock helped her with all the plans in multiple fields. He made working more efficient and that's why the ship was completed ahead of schedule.
She followed Vegeta into the meeting room and listened carefully as he began to speak.
"I know this is a sudden change of events, but it could not be helped given the circumstances." He sighed. "I take the blame for this. I was not cautious."
"It isn't your fault my prince, your father has been denying what's happening to our people for a very long time. You reacted out of the need to stay and keep us hidden. Do not blame yourself for his demise. If it wasn't now, it would've been after something else Frieza would've found fault in. His days were numbered as soon as he entered the alliance." Bardock reasoned.
"Quite. What of the other devices you've made? Will we be able to transport everything as you've said?"
"Yes, Bulma is quite the genius and her father gave her quite a scientific education. She finalized the capsule technology, his life's work. They will be of great aid to us moving large equipment to the base."
"Excellent." He looked at his mate. "How long until we're ready for the sequences?"
"Not long. I can have it done in three hours and the ship loaded in one." She replied with a smile. It was nice to feel needed and serve a more practical purpose.
"Good." He turned to Bardock. "Gather your sons and Nappa. Start loading the capsules and the ship. I need a moment with my mate."
"Of course." The door closed with a soft click and he turned to her, their eyes meeting, her body quaking. It had been a few days since they last talked and this connection they had needed to be refreshed. Would they finally kiss? An action they had only done in their minds up till this point. She wondered about how it would feel in real life. He approached her, his gloves off, his fingers gently easing into the blue curls of her hair.
"It's softer than I imagined." He mumbled before claiming her lips.
Her knees buckled as he kissed her, strongly but deeply, encouraging her to mimic his movements. Their minds reconnected too, the bond refreshing, the link strong between them. She groaned into his mouth, his tongue finding hers, as they danced together in moist delight. When they finally pulled away for much-needed air his body had hers pressed against the far wall while he panted harshly.
"We have no time to do what I want to do at the moment." He sighed before pulling away from her. "Frieza is searching for you now. He's sending me to do it."
Her eyes widened and her body trembled for a whole new reason now. The master would be angry if he found her here amongst his enemies. Especially coupled with one. She did not want this.
"Woman." He placed the holodisk upon the table and the image of her showed up on the screen in her full battle armor. Her tail waved slowly behind her and her blue hair was cascading over her shoulders.
A hollow voice came from the device, sickening, evil, a bit seductive in its tone. She shivered again having not heard that voice in weeks.
"This is my little Blue Flame. I was still testing her out and not quite ready to announce her existence yet. No matter. She is a saiyan/human hybrid. The first of her kind, and also the last of her kind. She succeeded where other experiments have failed. I want her found. I suspect she ran away from me, how insolent of her. She is to be captured unharmed and brought back to me for punishment and claiming. She is soul property of the Galactic Empire! A reward will be given to you upon her return. A favor, binding, signed contract that I will not deny you and it will be a promise kept. Plus a hefty sum of money as well. There will also be no questions asked upon her return, she's that precious to me."
"Fuck." She looked at him. "No doubt he's transmitted this message across the entire galactic system within range!"
"I'm sure he has, but no one from the saiyans in my power will turn you in. They are loyal to me and we take care of our own." He pulled her into his embrace. "You are also my mate and my guard will die to protect you."
"I don't deserve it." A tear rolled down her cheek. "They look at me like I don't belong. Especially the females with their children."
"They do not know of your origins. I have told no one except Bardock. The only reason I did was that it would serve him better in protecting you." He eased her back and kissed her again. "You are mine and he will not take you from me."
