Memory of the Sun

Chapter 18: It's Goku!

"If I wasn't such a genius and I didn't have such a positive and energetic personality, this situation would really be unbearable..." Bulma said to herself as she soldered together more pieces of the circuit board before frowning. "Man, here I am slaving away for friends that forgot I even exist... It's a darn shame, that's what it is. Guess I shouldn't be too surprised... Those guys are always taking me for granted!" She mumbled, attaching the newly finished board to the machine in front of her. Bulma growled, picking up the phone to her left before speaking into it.

"Hey yo, diary..."

"Diary loaded. Please record."

"Hiiii me, just a reminder to kill Gohan and Krillin when I see them... And to kick Goku in the shin." She finished with a sigh, "I guess that's it- Huh?" She paused for a moment, her eyes lighting up when the machine in front of her came to life with a beep. 

"Wow! Great!" She cheered, mentally patting herself on the back. "Gosh Bulma, you are really just too much!"

A large explosion in the distance made her jump, sending her tumbling backwards over her chair as she winced. 

"Ugh, that's probably going to leave a lump..." She mumbled, rubbing the back of her head as she noticed the dragon radar had fallen off the table as well. She picked it up, pressing the button on top before nearly dropping it again in shock.

"What?! All seven dragonballs are together! This could be a serious problem... On the other hand, this could be perfect! What a fantastic opportunity to cash in on someone else's hard work!" Bulma finished with a grin before dashing out into the open. She pulled a small case out of her pocket, grabbing a pink capsule from inside before clicking the button on top and throwing it out in front of her. When the dust had cleared, there sat a pink hover bike, perfect for traversing the Namekian landscape quickly.

Bulma climbed on, about to take off before the thought of Gohan and Krillin stopped her. Oh! What if the guys come back for me and I'm gone so they leave?!

"Hey, I know! I'll just wish myself back! Yeah... That's it! I'll just ask the dragon to send me back to Earth! Why didn't I think of that before?" She laughed, revving the engine as she floated upwards before taking off.

"Alright dragon balls, here I come!"

...

Back with Krillin, Luna and Gohan...

...

"Ugh... what?" Luna mumbled, opening her eyes while seeing Gohan and Krillin staring down at her. "What happened?"

"Goku was right... Looks like we showed up just in time..." Krillin explained, helping her to her feet as Gohan smiled at her. "It looked like that Ginyu guy was about to finish you and Nail off..."

Luna looked around, not seeing the Namekian warrior anywhere as she got a sinking feeling in her stomach. "Oh no! Where is he?! Did... Did Ginyu-"

"No, no! He went back to check on Guru and Dende!" Krillin said quickly, making her sigh in relief before another voice made her tense up again.

"What did you do to her?!" Captain Ginyu roared, looking at the girl who was down for the count only moments ago. "H-how?!" He shouted, his shocked face glaring at them all as he suddenly started laughing. 

"It doesn't matter... I'm still going to kill all of you! So get ready to DIE!"

Krillin and Gohan stood next to Luna, all of them getting into a fighting stance as they stared down the purple man in front of them. 

He's not playing around anymore... Luna realized, noticing the cruel look in the man's eyes. We all have to be on our guard or else-

"Captain!"
