Chapter 3

To The Place of Memories: Destination Earth!

The two left the bar to plan their next course of action. According to Baruh, Vegeta had headed for a distant planet known as Earth. It was on the outer reaches of the empire and her prince sought to hide out there and train until he became powerful enough to kill Frieza. So they would need to take a ship there as soon as possible and luckily Baruh just happened to have a large ship that they could comfortably travel upon to Earth. They planned to meet early the next day at the Calopian Intergalactic Space Port and take leave for Earth as quickly as possible.

Bulma dropped her heavy cape to the floor. It was good to be home after her long day. But it would not be for long. In the morning her and the Saijiin girl would leave for Earth.

Earth, it had been so long since she had been to that place She had thought she would never go back to that place. It held far too many memories; some happy, many more however were not.

It was the place of her birth, and the place where she had lost everything. What had happened so long ago, it still haunted her to this very day. It was the sole reason she had become a bounty hunter, to insure that nothing like that would happen again. But she could not; no she would not think of that right now. She would have to rise early the next day and she had to be focused on her mission. And Chikyuu could well prove to be a terribly distracting place.

The morning shone bright on the Calopian Intergalactic Space Port, a drastic change from the dreariness of the past few days. There was not a cloud in the sky on this day; all in all it was a perfect day for a shuttle launch. She stood her short hair blowing slightly in the wind and her heavy cape whipping about her as she gazed up at the ship that would take her to Vegeta.

Baruh's ship was a stunning golden color and the insignia of Vegetasei was encrusted onto its hull along with something that was apparently written in the Saiyan language. Baruh quietly came up behind Bulma.

"She's beautiful isn't she?" Baruh commented lightly.

"What is her name?"

"I see you do not read Saiya-go," Baruh laughed nonchalantly. "Well it basically translates to The Saiyan Butterfly." (heheheh ^_^;;)

"I see. I imagined it would be something of a far more violent nature being a saiyan vessel and all," Bulma commented lightly.

"Ah well there are many things about my people that I am sure you know nothing about. But we must take our leave. I don't trust to stay here much longer," Baruh stated glancing around warily as if at any moment they could find themselves in grave danger.

The two started towards the ship when Baruh's scouter suddenly went off. She listened to the voice on the other end for a moment. Shit," she cursed she had expected to escape Calopia with little trouble but it seemed that she was never so lucky.

"What's the matter?" Bulma questioned.

"It seems we have some company."

Oh are there people after you?

"Perhaps, but I'd be a fool to tell a bounty hunter such a thing now wouldn't I?

"I suppose your right. How many?" Bulma asked coolly.

Baruh whispered into the scouter for a sec. "Twenty. But they have low power levels. It seems they have underestimated me. But I'd suggest you prepare yourself to fight. I can't waste time saving your ass."

Bulma drew her sword and smirked. "Oh trust me I don't need any help."

The two made quick work of the men. Baruh was cutting through them like a hot knife through butter whilst Bulma was forced to sheath her sword and employ her deadly ki destabilizer.

Bulma surveyed the launch area; there were no other enemies that she could detect but that did not mean they were out of harm's way. She turned to Baruh only to see her making a dash for the ship.

Baruh turned her head and yelled over her shoulder, "Come on Bulma unless you wish to die this day."

The bounty hunter took off after the girl and did not hesitate until she had safely boarded the ship.

"All right bounty hunter you better buckle up or hold onto something cause we are launching now!"

Shots rang out as their assailants fired at the ship trying futilely to stop their launch even as the ship lifted gracefully up and out of the scope of their weapons.
