Default Going around what to do?

What would you do in the following situtation:

You are approaching a non towered field, communicate right and all that
stuff, your on final, suddenly a cessna pulls up and starts it's take
off roll.


I'd either land or go around, it depends on how much room I'll have behind
the Cessna.



Also lets bring the same situation to a towered airport where the
controller tells you to go around while you are on final.


If I'm VFR or on a visual approach I'll overfly the runway while climbing to
traffic pattern altitude and enter the traffic pattern via the crosswind
leg, unless given other instructions by the controller. If I'm on an
instrument approach I'll execute the published missed approach procedure or
proceed as instructed by the controller.



I am asking this because I am just wondering that at some point the
aircraft could collide (one climbing out, the other at pattern
altitude), and what the pilot going around should do...


I'd avoid colliding.
