>>6161008Since Capsule Corp has its own power supply, the building down in the lower levels is still completely active despite seeming abandoned from the outside. A strategic maneuver Bulma had made back when the Androids had started their rampage years ago, one that's still paying off even now.
“Bulma... I. I promise. I WILL find a way.” you gasp out, dropping to a knee as the injuries you'd received against Black, the damage she'd caused starts to register. Without the adrenaline of the fight, without the might of a Super Saiyan sustaining you, you feel your consciousness starting to fade in and out. Your vision turning fuzzy, the room spinning. Gritting your teeth, clutching the precious canister of time machine fuel to your chest, you force the pain, the exhaustion, all of it down. Focusing on doing what you must to finish this. Pushing yourself back up, you stagger over to the Time Machine, it resting where you and Auntie Bulma had set it up when Black first appeared. After you'd lost trying to stop her, barely escaping with your life.
That day you both had realized it was out of fuel, having long thought your time was safe and it wouldn't be needed ever again. When you'd both sworn to save your time, no matter what it took. And as you insert the canister, the machine humming to life, you think back on everything you'd lost since that day. How many millions of lives were lost because you were too weak to stop Black, how many sacrificed themselves to give you this one chance. Everything hinges on this, if you can't find a way back to your time with the time machine, strong enough once more to face this threat, then your entire world is doomed.
“Hey, p-positive th-thoughts.” you manage to get out, remembering some of Auntie Bulma's last words to you. She said she had a plan to get you back, that you just had to trust her. Even in death you trust her, wearily climbing into the time machine. Fingers running over the controls despite the spasms of pain wracking your body, you start up the launch sequence, the machine starting up. On one display, you see that the fuel level is fifty two percent, just enough to make the trip back in time as the clear dome seals shut over you. Finishing the launch sequence, the boosters all start up, the machine launching itself into the air. Capsule Corp opens up, your time machine flying straight up into the dark, smoke-filled sky. Where you see Amaya Black turn, facing you almost immediately as you launch past her higher into the air.
