Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Nossoreg's Revenge ❯ Chapter 26

Chapter Twenty-six

"That was quite an explosion!" Krillen commented as they all flew toward Master Korin's. They were anxious to see their loved ones again and let them know the ordeal was over.

"It had to have destroyed Nossoreg," Goten said.

"Not necessarily," Vegeta warned. "He could have had a bomb-safe room somewhere deep in the ship. That would explain why he didn't choose to escape when he had the chance."

"I guess we will just have to wait and see," Goku sighed. "After all, Dr. Gero came back when we thought he was dead."

"Dad. . ." Trunks began. "We all thought you were dead, too. How did you do it?"

"The Sensu bean sitting in my mouth gave me just enough energy to regain consciousness," Vegeta explained. "I was just about to chew it when I felt the transmitter moving along the inside of my arm. I cut it out with a piece of broken glass from the chamber. Then I chewed the bean and healed myself."

"But how did you get out of the room with the shield on?" Gohan asked.

"Nossoreg put too much faith in that shield. He was so sure that no one could go through it, that he didn't dream anyone would go under it."

"The computer!" Trunks exclaimed. "You got out under the computer terminal!"

Vegeta nodded. "I followed the cables down to the main computer. Nossoreg didn't even have sensors to pick up on the blasting I had to do. I was able to do a bit of sight-seeing, completely unnoticed. I was just taking care of our other counterparts when Nossoreg called the clones back to the ship."

"But if Nossoreg did survive, he could still use the dragonballs," Yamcha suggested. "They wouldn't have been destroyed that far away from the blasts."

"The dragonballs are safe," Vegeta said. "That was one of the first things I took care of. They are scattered throughout a forest a few miles back. And I have the only dragonradar left." He pulled Bulma's radar from inside his armor.

"It was lucky the ship went down in the desert," Goku commented with a sidelong glance at Vegeta.

Vegeta didn't respond, but gave half a smile that confirmed what Goku suspected. Vegeta had planned it that way all along.

When they arrived at Master Korin's, the ancient cat was the only one there.

"Bulma wasn't feeling well, so Videl flew her up to see Dende," he explained. "Then she came back for Chi Chi. I would have given her a Sensu bean, but I already gave my last ones to Goku."

"Thanks, Master Korin," Goku said as Vegeta took off at top speed. The rest of them continued to fly straight up to The Lookout, the home of the earth's guardian.

Vegeta landed and ran toward Dende and his assistant, Mr. Popo. They gave him startled looks because of his armor, but didn't comment on it as he stormed up to them.

"Where's Bulma?! What's wrong with her?!" he demanded.

"There's nothing wrong, Vegeta," Dende said, trying to calm the agitated Saiyan down. "The baby has just decided to join us a little earlier than expected."

It took a few seconds for Vegeta to process what the Namek had told him. When it did, his eyes flew open wide and his jaw dropped. "Where is she?" he asked.

Mr. Popo took Vegeta inside to where Bulma was resting, Videl and Chi Chi hovering nearby. Chi Chi tried to explain that everything was all right, but he wouldn't listen. He had to hear it from Bulma herself.

"I'm fine," she told him when she woke up from the commotion. He was concerned about the paleness of her face, but she just dismissed it with a weak wave of her hand. "You're the one I was worried about. What happened down there?"

Vegeta told her all that had transpired since Goku had taken her to safety, trying to keep her mind off the pain that came and went harder and faster. Chi Chi tried her hardest to kick him out of the room, but he wouldn't budge. She finally gave up and worked around him instead.
