A/n: Hello everyone. I'm sorry I haven't had updated this story for a while but like with most of my stories I've had very little inspiration to work with. I think I finally got some after I watched a few clips of this movie so I hope you all enjoy it. Without further ado here is the seventh chapter.

Research begins

Once this big discovery hit the fan all the available scientific minds on the planet began to work on the cure to this devastating disease that had been killing off or severally weakening Saiyans left and right. Prince Vegeta was just as determined to find a way to prevent the end of his race. He felt the answer lied with his mate, his unborn child and Goku.

Bardock sat in his laboratory working vigorously trying to find the exact combination of chemicals to fight off the disease. He was tired and very annoyed when every time he tried one it didn't seem to have any effect. The fact that there were less brilliant people working so closely with him also added on to the aggravation that he felt. Bulma walked in and approached Bardock. " I take it things still aren't working out for you down here?"

" Not even close to finding a solution. It's really pissing me off sometimes I fell like just giving up but I know that there are many people counting on us and I refuse to let them down." Bardock commented. " I know I have the correct chemicals and stuff but there is just something missing…" In anger Bardock slams his fists down onto the desk he was sitting at. Silence filled the room as they were concerned by Bardock's recent out burst. The eldest Son took a deep breath and folded his hands placing them above the bridge of his nose and his look turned to one of deep thought.

Bulma placed her hand on his shoulder and looked at him with a look of sympathy.

" You'll get it Bardock. Sooner or later you will figure this whole thing out and together we will beat this thing."

Bardock seemed to get his second wind as he just went back to work typing fast trying to get all his equations to add up. " Thank you Bulma, you certainly a big help to me right now…"

" Would you mind if I help you out with this?"

Bardock stopped his fierce typing and looked at her. " You want to do this? You sure I mean it is very complex."

Bulma smiled at the scientist. " Bardock I am one of the most brilliant minds on my planet. I may not look at it but I have invented some of the most advanced technologies out there… I even helped my dad redesign the space pods your people use. Besides all that I know what it's like to have something that is hard to figure out. For example we have a disease that even we are having a hard time treating… it's a serious one that kills millions every year. No one has found a cure for it yet, but we are working on it. Every year we are getting closer and closer to getting rid of it for good. We will do the same thing here… we will use all the supplies at our disposal to solve it."

Bardock nodded at her. " Well it's always good to have another hand here. I would be grateful for your assistance."

Bulma smiled as she sat down at the desk next to him and she looked around the room at the other people and her expression turned to one of determination. " What are you all just standing around for! We have work to do… move it, move it, move it!" The other scientists jumped as they quickly continued their work again. Bulma bit her thumbnail and looked at a rouge report that was stashed on her desk. She opened the file and a simple 'um….' Escaped her throat. " Bardock what is this?"

Bardock broke off from his work and turned to Bulma. " That would be a medical report that we got from a recently discovered case of this disease, why do you ask?"

" This may prove useful… By any chance do you have other files of others diagnosed with it?"

" As a mater of fact we do… in the medical ward, if you like I could escort you over there."

Bulma nodded as she stood up. " Thank you Bardock."

Bardock saved his research file he was working on and turned to the rest of them,

" Continue your research and don't leave one stone unturned, any bit of information could be vital in our fight. If I find out that someone isn't pulling their weight I can assure you will be dealt with."

Bulma and Bardock made their way down the halls to the medical ward. " Bulma, do you really think that medical files will help us discover a cure?"

Bulma nodded. " Yes I do. Learning about the disease itself can also prove helpful, for instance it's way of reproducing and how it attacks the body. Depending on what information we get I can use that to figure out a way to get rid of it."

Bardock was amazed by Bulma's approach to the problem. He wouldn't have even thought of checking the medical files. This might actually be the missing piece of puzzle he was looking for. They walked down a corridor where the medical ward was.

" Plantor… can you pull out the medical records of those who have reported symptoms of the disease." Bardock stated as he entered the room.

" Certainly." The doctor walked over to the medical computer and began typing up the inquiry and a large number of records showed up. Bulma's eyes widened as she realized how much work this was going to be. " Each patient is classified in the stage they are with on the disease…"

Bulma walked over and looked at the files. She found it a bit difficult because of course the files were in the Saiyan dialect. " Plantor would it be possible to show me this in English?"

" Sure, no problem." He walked over and changed the language format.

" That's better.. Alright then." Bulma took her seat and began comparing each person's reactions at the different levels. " Um, this is a very interesting disease. It's almost undetectable within the first few days of attraction and then the symptoms begin to show. It's a mutated form of a dangerous disease from Earth." She looked over at a culture sample on the lab table and she looked the microscope. " I don't believe this. It is a rapidly growing virus. This is going to be harder to handle then I first thought."

Within moments Goku entered the doctors office. " I knew you would be here Bulma. Did you guys get anywhere with finding a cure?"

" Not yet but I did find out something about it's growth and habits. Your father tells me he had the correct combination of chemicals to shut it down but it still won't destroy the disease. I think I'm going to attempt a little test in a little bit." She turned her attention to Goku. " So what's the problem Goku?"

" It's getting out of control. Even those who weren't infected in the beginning are being to come down with symptoms. I seem to one of the only people untouched by it."

" So it's broken through the palace walls. We are going to have to isolate the prince until we can settle things. From the looks of it the only people still safe are the scientist staff, and you Kakarot." Bardock commented.

Bulma eyes narrowed. " That's strange. Goku, tell me…were you and Raditz in the same location when he came into contact with it?"

" Yeah, but I seem to be fine. Raditz told me he wasn't felling well…. What are you getting at Bulma?"

" There must be something in your blood that is protecting you. Goku, I have to take a sample of your blood to take some tests."

Goku's eyes widened in fear. " You mean you have to give me a NEEDLE!"

" Afraid so…" Bulma said as she pulled one out. " Please Goku, everyone's life could be depending on this."

Goku shook like a little baby and began running out of the room. Bardock sided as he grabbed onto Goku by the back of his Gi. " Kakarot, you are acting like a big baby. Hold still!"

" I HATE NEEDLES! STAY AWAY WITH THAT THING!" Goku shouted as he tried in vein to get away from his old man.

" Bulma just do it… I can't hold him forever." Bardock called out.

Bulma rushed over and scrubbed Goku's arm and then put the sharp object into his skin. Goku's hair stood on end and then he passed out. Bulma sighed once again as she watched the container fill up with blood. " After all the things you have been through, the only thing that scares you is a needle… remarkable."

Bardock looked over at Bulma. " Maybe with this we will be able to solve the mystery."

" I hope so, I pray this will hold all the answers…"

To be continued…
