A/N: Hello everyone. I finally got in the mood to work on another chapter of this story. I didn't think I would get around to it since I have so many other projects going around and this story was done when I was completely bored one day. Well anyway I appreciate all the reviews and I hope you enjoy this chapter as well.

Dreadful predicament

Months have gone by since Goku arrived with the much-needed supplies. Even with these supplies the planet was still falling apart. Goku was walking around with Nappa, Raditz and Turles around. The Earth Saiyan looked around at all the desire that his people were going through. His mind was racing as it took in all the sickness and dire looks on their faces. Raditz turned to his younger brother. " Now you see what we have lived with for so long? The Saiyan race is falling apart and this is worrying even Prince Vegeta. He will not allow his family line and our race to fall now, not after all this shit you went through."

Goku's face was one of pure shock as he turned to his face. " So if I understand what you're saying to me, our race is dying. Bulma is the one who will give Vegeta his heir… but what will happen then? Won't it just be a race of survivors of what ever this disease is?"

" None of us have gotten that far yet. Father is working on things as we speak. Even with his brilliant mind there is no certainty that anything will get solved."

Goku grasped his chin in his hand and he began thinking about it. " I might have a solution to this mess."

The other three Saiyans turn to Goku and they blinked a few times. " Wait, what do you mean Kakarot?" Turles questioned.

" Well I don't know if you know… but on my planet we have a think called dragonballs. There are seven balls in all and when they are brought together the person who summons the dragon gets any wish granted. I'm thinking if I go back to earth and I look for the dragonballs I can asked the dragon to help us with our problem here on Vegetasei."

Nappa turned to Turles who in turn, turned to his older brother. Raditz looked at Goku with a hint of confusion but a small smirk grew on his face. " What a helpful little brother you are…" He grabs him around his neck in a joking matter, and then rubbed his hair roughly. " I always thought somewhere in that head of yours you had fathers brains… And Turles always thought you were an idiot like Nappa."

" Now hold on! I never said that! Stop putting worlds in my mouth Raditz!"

Nappa narrowed his eyes and turned to Turles who he picked up by the collar. " You think I'm an idiot you low level! Huh… I'll show you who's an idiot around here!"

Raditz sighed as he turned away from his cousin and his bickering ally. ' Those two really give me a headache.' Goku looked back at the two fighting Saiyans and looked to his brother. " Aren't we going to stop them?"

" There really isn't any reason for us to try… trying to stop those two from fighting is like trying to hold back the holding back a damn of water with a finger."

Goku cocked his head for a moment and then stated, " Well I did that once…"

" That's not the point I'm trying to make brother. For any normal person that isn't the easiest task. Just let the two of them have it out. They should be done fighting in about an hour and by that time they will forget everything they were arguing about and then things will be back to normal."

Goku nodded. He looked straight ahead as they continued to walk through the crowds of sickly Saiyans. " So brother, how have you managed to say well with all this going on?"

" I was one of the lucky ones. Being one of Prince Vegeta's guards and close friends I was allowed to stay within the palace walls. As far as we know the disease hasn't progressed that far but soon we fear no where will be safe."

" You really think that there is no hope for these people?" Goku asked. His eyes were close to tears as he saw a young looking woman around Chi-chi's age crying over her sickly child. " They look so helpless…."

An man around their age crawled up to them. " Please sirs… help us…."

Raditz narrowed his eyes. " Get away you filth…" He stated in a cold voice.

Goku looked at his brother with a disapproved look. " Raditz.. that's not very nice." He pulled out a small bag that was on his belt. The elder Saiyan stared at the bag a few moments and then frowned when Goku handed the begging man one of them. " Here you go… this should help a little bit."

" Bless you kind sir… may the gods always protect you…"

Raditz pulled Goku along. " Brother what was that all about?"

" I had to do something. That man was begging for help.."

" Nothing you do can help."

Goku smiled. " No actually I think it did."

Raditz stopped in his tracks and looked back at the man. His eyes widened as he saw the man who only a few moments ago was sicker then sick can be and now was jumping around looking like he had never been sick in his life. " What the… what did you do?"

" I figured this might help a little bit. These beans aren't just ordinary beans. They have special healing powers and I've found out throughout the years it work miracles on a Saiyan's body. I thought I'd take a gamble and it paid off… that man looks better then he did five seconds ago."

" Unbelievable. You're not here that along and already you are changing the way things are around here. First you help out with all those supplies… and now.. you are healing very ill people in the streets."

" Maybe that's it!" Goku exclaimed. " That's how we will help these people… get a lot of these beans… that would work for sure. Unless this disease keeps returning."

" That's possible… but you never know… we may be on to something… well we better not waste any more time here… I must be getting back to Bulma. Vegeta would have my tail if anything happened to her."

Goku let out a nervous laugh. " I wouldn't want you to get into any trouble because of me. So lets get moving…"

The brothers made their way into the palace and soon arrived at Bulma's room. Raditz knocked on the door. " Miss Bulma… It's us, open up."

"The door's open…" She called back.

Raditz opened the door and he and Goku walked in. Goku walked over to his childhood friend. Bulma was on her bed with slightly wet hair. By this time Bulma was definitely showing signs of her pregnancy. " Hello Goku. It's been a while since you came to visit me. And Raditz… where have you been lately… you haven't been around much to check up on me?"

" It's been rather difficult to get away. Being one of the only healthy Saiyans alive I've been working harder then before to keep up with the demand around here. Not like its not to be expected or anything."

" Speaking off… when did my father say the baby was due?" Goku questioned.

" Bardock said that they baby should be born in about seven to six months. Sometimes I wish my baby would just come now… I've been getting so much morning sickness… its getting ridiculous. I don't even know what I'm going to have…"

Raditz got a bit closer to the child and did a quick scan. " Well if I'm not to rusty with these things your going to have a boy."

" A boy… that's great!" Bulma exclaimed, " Vegeta will be very pleased about that."

Raditz smiled. " Indeed he will be pleased… but at this point… he's happy to get anything he can…"

Bulma looked out the window. " I've been seeing the change around here… people falling sick and everything.. I really want to help."

" I'm sure we can think of something… I suggested that we can get the dragonballs… but then after that I discovered the Senzu beans help in the recovering process…"

" Perhaps that might work… Bardock could try to make an cure out of them… Goku for once I think you really do have a good plan."

Prince Vegeta was in his main chamber starring out the window. ' What a

dreadful predicament our race is in… I can only put my hopes in that woman and her unborn child…. And the only remaining scientists on my planet… If they can't come up with anything, the Saiyan race is as good as extinct and will not let that happen!'
