Hey guys.  How'd you like the last chapter of "Quest for Power"?  I'm sorry I didn't update in a while, but please forgive me.  So, lets not waist anymore time. 

Me no own

Vegeta was tired and wounded, barely breathing.  His eyes were heavy since the pain was getting to him so, and he could barely think at all.  "Bulma."

"She's safe."

Vegeta opened his eyes to see who replied to him, and it looked like Frieza.  "Frieza!"

"Hardly.  I happen to be his better older brother.  The name is Cooler." 

Vegeta then felt something enter his arm.  He then realized that he was chained to a wall in some kind of a dungeon.  "What did you just do?"

Cooler smirked.  "I have no interest in you, or that woman of yours, but I do find you amusing, so I definitely would like to test something out on you."

"Why you….!"  Vegeta tried to force himself out of the chains, but he felt a sharp pain and his energy began to leave from his body.

"I wouldn't try that if I were you Vegeta.  I have power, not you, and if you even think about trying to come against me, you will be a vegetable."  Cooler chuckled.  "No pun intended."

"What did you do to me, you freak?"

"I don't know yet.  It's a new disease that my scientists thought of.  I'm not sure what it does, but you're the perfect candidate."

Vegeta's body began to grow numb, and he lost his consciousness.

"Lord Cooler," said one of Cooler's guards. 

"What is it?"

"What should we do with the boy and Prince Vegeta?"

"I have no use for either one of them.  Put them back on their ship and send them off."


"And Bulma?"

"I'm not quiet sure what to do with her yet.  I might just  kill her, but I'm sure I could do something else to cause my brother pain."

"If I get out of here," said Bulma "I want you to come with me."

Oninu smiled as she tried to hold back her laughter.  "Bulma, you do not understand how Cooler's mind works."

"I know you're his favorite, but that doesn't mean that we can't get you out of here.  If I get you off of this planet, will Cooler come after you?"

"No, but…"

"Then why doubt?"

"Shhh!"

"Why?"

"I feel him.  He's coming."

"Feel him?  What do you mean by that?  How can you feel someone?"

"It's something I learned when I became blind.  I couldn't depend on my sight, so I had no choice, but to use my other senses, but I learned that even though my hearing had become stronger as well as my scent, that wouldn't help me on a place like this when you have to fight for your very survival.  I had no choice but to learn how do defend myself, so that's what I did."

"Can everyone do this, or just you?"  Bulma sat next to her, being intrigued by her words. 

"Tell me more."

"Well, it's energy that I feel.  Cooler's is so high, as well as Frieza's."

"This seems like a real plus."

Oninu turned away from Bulma and tried to think about how she is a strong Saiyan and shouldn't break down and cry, but a tear escaped her eye. "It's not so good when you feel Cooler ravaging you. I feel him so strongly and he does things to me....things only King Vegeta should have done."

Bulma reached her hand on to comfort her but when Oninu felt it, she shook it away. "He's coming. I don't want him to see me like this. I don't want him to get the satisfaction. Ice-jins enjoy seeing our race breakdown, so I can't allow myself to."

Bulma nodded in agreement and respected her courage. "You're so strong."

"You seem strong yourself, and my son must think so."

Bulma blushed. "Well....he has marked me. How did you..."

"I can smell him on you. I wasn't sure if it was him when you first arrived, but I knew you weren't pure." Oninu tensed up. "No be quiet. Don't say anything about me feeling energy. I don't want him to know!"

Bulma whispered "Can he?"

"I don't know, but he knows much more than Frieza and is much more deadlier."

Cooler then walked into the room with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face. "The monkey prince will be safe, as well as the stupid boy."

Relief came to Bulma. "Where are they?"

"None of your business. You're lucky Vegeta's a Saiyan or I would have just killed him."

Oninu cocked an eyebrow. "That doesn't sound right at all. Wouldn't it be the other way around?"

Cooler couldn't help but begin to laugh a little bit. "Since you Saiyans have such strong immune systems, you make for good test subjects."

Anger began to rise up in Bulma and she charged at Cooler, but he felt Oninu grab her.


"Calm yourself, Bulma!"

"No! He's a monster like his brother!"

Oninu held Bulma back with both of her arms.

"He's your son! Don't you care?"

Oninu tried to keep calm and strong in front of Cooler as long as possible, but the thought of actually hearing good news of her son and then him being a test subject for Cooler was too much and a few tears fell down her cheeks. "Calm down Bulma! You'll only be killed."

Cooler smirked and walked out of the room and as soon as he did, Oninu feel down on her knees and began crying.

Bulma stopped struggling and realized that of course Oninu cared, but she was the wiser one in this situation. She knew Cooler and his ship, and she was trying so hard to keep her prideful image. 'Poor Oninu.' Bulma held her close to her. "I'm sorry Oninu, but I'll get you out of here somehow."


To be continued....

A/N: Oh, but how will Bulma get her out of there? Will Bulma even make it out of Cooler's ship? Wait and see. Review! Reveiw!
