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.

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

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...

In both cases, announce your intentions, offset your approach and fly an
upwind leg (typically to the right of the runway centerline). You should
adjust your upwind leg to keep the rogue aircraft/pilot in view until it is
no longer a collision threat.

Ok thank you...
How would you say the intentions though?

I'd probably say I was going around due to a fool on the runway, but
otherwise I concur with what you suggest. :-)

I normally unkey the mic and THEN say what I really want... :-)

What did you see in the OP that suggested the departing pilot was a fool?

I'd bet that you'd want less words and sooner!

Something on the order of...

"location, NXYZ, going around, right of XXX" (this assumes that
runway XXX is not on the left side of a parallel runway...)

Get out of the way. If at a towered airport, and they tell you
to go around, don't bother with all the details, just agree,
something like

"NXYZ going around"

because they'll probably tell you which side to offset, or even more
detailed instructions, such as

"go around IMMEDIATELY, turn (left or right) as soon as possible,
wait for further instructions"

yes, I've had this happen to me when an aircraft broke down on the
runway. They sent us all out to the SE or SW with instructions to
go away for a while.

"Going around, sidestepping to the right"

"Going around, sidestepping to the right"
Isn't "Going around" sufficient. The default is "to the right" so you
don't tangle with other planes on crosswind and base.
