The transport yard, looked like a factory that was set up for an invasion. Which, wasn't wrong, given what Baby had done.
Massive ships rested on launch platforms, their engines glowing a dull blue as crews of Tuffleized humans loaded crates of machinery, weapons, and supplies into their cargo bays. Floodlights washed the area in sterile white, illuminating rows of blank-faced workers moving in perfect coordination.
Hidden behind stacks of cargo crates, the group was hidden. But Pan noticed the transport of weapons going to and from the ship.
"Weapons? Why do they need weapons?" Pan muttered under her breath.
Scarlet gave her a deadpan unimpressed look, as if saying. Really? You're really going to ask that?
Above them all, Planet Tuffle loomed over, like an opened scab that hasn't healed.
"So, what's the plan again?" Hercule asked softly and low.
Scarlet face palmed. "We sneak on board that ship, Hijack it and take it from here up there." She gestured towards the looming planet over their heads.
Pan glanced around a bit as she noticed the thousands, if not trillions of Tufflized people. "One tiny problem, how are we going to get past them?"
Scarlet groaned. "Kid, just wait." She turned to Buu as he raised a finger up. "Okay, Buu. your job is to turn everyone here, not us. Into candy, but don't eat them. Got it?"
Pan's face paled as she heard what was said, Buu only nodded. The idea was perfect for sure, but at what cost?
Buu didn't say a word as he walked towards the center of the loading dock pad. He grinned widely. "Everyone turn to candy!"
Before the Tufflized people could even react or attack, Buu's pink candy beam fired from his antenna. Everyone around him had turned into candy. Buu then turned around and waved the three over. "Buu done! Pale lady can come over now!"
Scattered around the area were every type of candy. Chocolate bars, wrapped bonbons, jaw breakers, jelly beans, lollipops, candy corn. Any and all types of candy were there, treading carefully not to step on anything, Hercule kept his gaze down that the ground while Pan hovered over towards the ship.
Hercule stopped inches away, as a giant gummy worm blocked his path. "H-Hey uh....I can't get by."
Scarlet who walked up behind him, kicked him in the back, sending him off balance as he fell over the gummy worm. "Was that so hard?" She asked. "Get onto the ship, we're leaving."
~~~
The ships engine roared to life as Scarlet threw two Tufflized pilots off the ship, she sat down in the pilots chair as she scanned the controls.
"Hey, you do know how to fly this thing....right?" Pan asked.
"Only one way to find out." Scarlet muttered. "Can't be too hard."
The ship lurched as it rumbled underneath them. Hercule gripped onto the railing. Buu tumbled and stumbled, Pan yelped as she grabbed onto the seat.
"Warn us next time!" Pan growled.
Scarlet didn't answer, she focused on trying to pilot the ship, the docking ramp stayed open. The ship struggled. The metal groaned, then she turned to look at Pan. "Unload the crates, we're carrying too much weight."
Pan looked unsure, but let go of the chair. She steadied her footing as the ship lurched once more and groaned.
Scarlet hissed, setting the ship to auto pilot. "Do I have to do everything myself?!" She growled, standing up, pushing past Pan. Her sharp nails on her Grimm hand, sliced through the straps that were holding the cargo in, using her Grimm strength. She pushed the crates towards the ramp. They slid off one by one. Making the ship lighter. "Was that so hard?"
The ship had stopped groaning, the flight was steady now. Taking a seat, Hercule glanced towards Scarlet. "So do you think....Goku's ya know?"
Scarlet glanced towards him, she wasn't sure if Goku was or not. But something told her, he wasn't. "I doubt it, it's Goku after all."
"Yeah but...how do you know my grandpa? You never told me your name, I've never seen you in my life." Pan spoke, putting her hands on her hips. "More importantly....you're not even human."
"No shit Sherlock." Scarlet spoke sarcastically. "Knowing who I am isn't important."
~~~
The transport ship left Earth's atmosphere and into the night sky, over their heads. Planet Tuffle loomed, growing bigger as the ship approached it.
Scarlet sat in the pilots seat, looking out the window. Seeing the planet grow larger by the second. "Look alive, we're nearing the landing zone." She stood up from the chair and turned to look at three. "Baby's probably going to know we're coming. If he isn't too busy being a royal pain in my ass."
"Hey, language." Pan spoke.
The ship suddenly lurched hard, Scarlet stumbled into the controls as Pan face planted onto the floor, Buu tumbled and rolled as Hercule fell backwards on his butt.
"What the hell!" Scarlet hissed, she turned around to look out the window as she glared hard outside the window.
Pan who got up, face red from falling hard on the floor. Stumbled into the cockpit, her eyes went wide like plates. Outside the window, was Gohan, Trunks and Bulla. All floating there, Gohan and Trunks had their hands held out in front of them. Pink ki blast forming. Bulla smirked widely.
"Kill them." Bulla spoke.
Trunks and Gohan chuckled, Scarlet acted quick. Using her semblance, she stopped time. She grabbed Pan, and headed into the back of the ship, she couldn't really grab Buu, but she cut open a hole in the side of the ship, the vacuum of the planet's gravity was harsh. She gritted her teeth and put all her weight into her feet to stop the suction from pulling her. She grabbed Hercule by the back of his shirt.
Glancing at Buu, Scarlet couldn't do much to save him, not yet. But she knew Buu would survive. He was a Majin after all. Letting the weight from her feet loosen up. The gravity of the planets suction sucked her, Pan and Hercule out of the ship. Scarlet blinked, as time resumed.
Buu took notice quickly as he knew what was going on. His body liquefied and right as Gohan and Trunks fired the ki blast, the ship blew up.
Bulla chuckled darkly as she watched the ship explode. "What lovely fireworks. Come, let us report back to Baby. He will be pleased."
Trunks and Gohan nodded as they flew off. Pan gasped as if she had been holding her breath, Hercule screamed, but he covered his mouth. Not wanting to be heard from anyone below. Buu managed to slip out of the ship. Poofing back into being whole again, Buu flew towards the three.
"You made it." Scarlet muttered. "Here." She handed Hercule over to Buu, her grip on Pan loosened as Pan flew beside. Scarlet however, just free fell. Not caring one bit if she landed successfully or hard.
"Um should we, grab her?" Pan asked.
"Pale Lady strong." Buu spoke as he hovered down.
Pan was feeling uneasy that Scarlet wasn't going to ask for help, getting to the ground safely. But when she landed first, she did a super hero landing. The dust cleared as Pan and Buu landed on their feet.
"Was that really necessary?" Pan asked with a slight groan.
"We're here aren't we?" Scarlet asked shooting her a glare.
Pan opened her mouth to say something, but closed her mouth. Scarlet was right about that, they did make it to planet Tuffle. So...now what? What was next? Did they even plan for what was to happen next?
Luckily Hercule spoke up. "So uh....what now?"
Scarlet crossed her arms. Shifting her weight to her right leg, she sniffed the air. "I can smell two women nearby. Baby's scent is mixed with theirs."
"Two? Could it be Grandma Chi-Chi and mama?" Pan asked.
"Stay here, don't go anywhere." Scarlet spoke. "I'm going to have a look."
No one argued with her on her choice, but Pan wanted to help. She was getting tired of people treating her like a kid. But before she could even move forward. Scarlet took to the shadows, vanishing before her eyes.
