Bulma got right to work. Grabbing whatever material she could find she began to build the parts for the engine. She melted and hammered and polished the pieces and laid each one carefully next to the engines skeleton she had worked on the day before. It wasn't complicated figuring out the parts but the process for each piece was at least 2 hours. It was all very time consuming but it helped ease her mind. She had just finished polishing the last piece when she heard the loud explosion coming from across the hall. The familiar shouts and screams of protest were music to her ears. She figured Vegeta had woken up and was fully recovered. Question was where was he now? What did he plan to do? A loud pounding on the door brought her back to reality.

"Open up earthling I'm under orders to watch over you if Vegeta could not fulfill his tasks." The voice became a person as the figure stepped through the door. It was a small sized man. His skin was red and had long white hair that trailed down his back. He wore one of those weird uniforms that made him look an insect and she saw he was well built. He was sort of attractive.

"Where is Vegeta? She replied hoping she sounded clueless as to what had just happened.

"He destroyed one of our healing pods so I sent my men to detain him and throw him in a cell, much like the one you were in."

"That's all?"

"Why should I tell you anything?!"

"I was only asking, she replied defensively. Besides I am going to die in a few days anyway and it's not as if I can just go where ever I please."

"True. I suppose I can shed some light on the subject."

"What's your name?"

"Jace, he replied coolly."

"Do you know Vegeta well?"

"You could say that, he said as he gritted his teeth. We had an encounter a couple days ago and it would seem the little savage got the better of me in a fight."

"Aaahh so you want revenge?"

"Your clever than you look. I should not have been so easily bested and I should have been the one in charge of you. I am Frieza's head general and yet he gets in my lords good graces! He blew up the ship for cripes sake!"

"So you want to sabotage Vegeta's task and somehow prove to Frieza that you are…"

"That I am a true warrior! I deserve to fight by his side not keep watch on minor planets!"

"Don't you think Frieza will be angry by your little trick?!"

"Perhaps but at least if all fails I'll still get to kill Vegeta."

"You can't do that! He'll beat you like last time."

Jace stared at her coldly and laughed. "He won't be in much of a fighting shape when I attack."

"You coward!" Bulma had to think of a plan and fast.

Of course! His scouter! Vegeta mentioned that it had a recording system. If I could hack into it there may be a previous conversation of where he planned to take Vegeta and where he is now! Looks like I'm on my own.

"You're doing a lousy job of watching me and I already finished my days work! Honestly if you weren't so self absorbed in your personal back story maybe you would have been half the general you described yourself as!"

"You are a low class scum and will pay for your insolence."

"You couldn't even fight without that scouter and without it you are nothing. Just an empty waste of time and that's probably why this Frieza character can't be bothered."

Jace through his scouter across the room. It bounced off the walls and landed on the desk in the corner. "This changes nothing! I am still a warrior and you are still some pathetic life form. You aren't worth my time and since you still have a job to do I'll leave you to it. I have something to take care of as well. He turned around satisfied and headed for the door. Oh and it was nice talking to you, he smirked as the door slid shut with a lock sliding into place."

That JERK! I won't let him hurt Vegeta! I got to get out of here.

With that in mind she pulled out her screwdriver and smiled. I could unlock a bank vault with this screwdriver this door is gonna be a breeze. Oh! The scouter!

She raced across the room towards the scouter. In a matter of seconds she had managed to pry open the device and found a small box with a micro speaker inside. There was a button on the back of the device and she quickly pressed it. With a triumphant smile she listened to the conversation she had had and a conversation involving Vegeta's cell number and security codes to the cells and ward halls. She slid the box in her pocket and held the screwdriver in her left hand. She unhooked the bolts on the door and gently pushed it open. Peering around she saw the coast was clear. With the recording device in her possession she had all she need. Slipping the screwdriver in her other pocket she slowly crept down the halls remembering where exactly Vegeta had dragged her from.

I sure hope Vegeta is okay. I guess I might have feelings for him but that doesn't mean he feels the same. I just surprised he feels anything. At least I know he does now and I'm glad. Okay there's the entrance to the prisoner hall. I guess no one bothered to guard it since there's an alarm system and security code. What did that guard say again? 24…13…7

Bulma typed in the numbers and watched in amazement as the door slid open granting her access. She wore a proud grin and stepped inside careful not to make a sound. The corridor was long and cold like she remembered. She shivered once then made a right, a left, and another right. The sound of her footsteps echoed across the tile as she passed cell after cell. Finally she stopped at one down the end of the hall.

Okay Bulma you can do this!

With one final thought she punched in the seven digit code. The hinge unlocked and the handle felt loose in her grasp. Wasting no more time she pushed open the door and stepped inside.
