《Ultimate Legend Of Dragon Ball》 1 Awaken Amidst a dark and empty void silence reined. In this place Its existence was eternal yet ephemeral, until suddenly a single thought disturbed this endless empty space. "Where am I?" This singular thought like a single drop of water falling onto the smooth even surface of a still lake caused ripples to form which soon elicited a second thought....then a third, a fourth and so on. Soon theses thoughts like sparks of electricity began to jump from one thought to another, growing stronger which each consecutive jump until suddenly a final spark jumped, which like the last piece in a jigsaw puzzle caused sentiency to coalesced as a joyful shout suddenly rang out. "I remember now! I remember everything!"The consciousness shouted happily as it began to recall its entire life. I was born in a small seaside villa along the east coast of America. As a child I fell in love with martial arts and was fortunate enough to have a grandfather with the same passion. When I turned six he introduced me to his best friend, Grandmaster Long, who accepted me as his legacy disciple of the (Áú) Long school of martial arts. Grandmaster Long says the word Long is a illustrious word from his country that means Dragon. Grandmaster Long said that most people in Asia, the birthplace of martial arts believed martial arts was divided into two different schools, inner and outer. Although both schools each had their own unique fighting techniques their core foundations were quite different. Inner martial arts focused on building and purifyingthe Ki or life energy within the body, while outer martial arts focused on the physical aspect of the human body, such as building muscles, stamina and strengthening the skin and resilience of various parts of the body. However the school Grandmaster Long belonged two believed that both schools were right and that a combination of a strong physical foundations coupled with a robust and pure inner Ki would make one the strongest martial artist. However it was because of this taboo like belief which conformed with neither of the two mainstream schools which caused Grandmaster Long to have to leave Asia with his own Grandmaster when he was just a boy to come to America. Every day I would wake early in the morning before the rise of the sun and perform an hour of foundational building exercises, then would meditate for another hour as the sun rose facing the coast using Grandmaster Long''s secret Ki breathing technique [Dragon Breath]. Grandmaster Long said that the purest Ki one could absorb was called the purple Ki from the east, which was a tiny burst of purple color which appeared just as the morning sun rose. Having finished my morning training I would then get ready for school. When school was over I would hurry home to finish my homework so I could begin my afternoon training. More foundation building exercises followed by several hours of peaceful meditation. On the weekends I would spend my time with Grandmaster Long, who would answer questions I had and check my progress, correcting any flaws I had made. Summer vacation was my favorite for I would spend the entire two months with Grandmaster Long exercising and meditating. However, just like me and grandpa, Grandmaster Long was also a diehard fan of everything martial arts, and had a large collection of goods, books and movies about martial arts, especially anime. Grandmaster Long despite his ascetic exterior was a hardcore battle manga otaku and had one of the largest collection''s of manga and anime I had ever seen. Even the most obscure of battle manga''s or anime''s which had even the slightest amount of martial arts in it could be found in Grandmaster Long''s extensive library. Yet despite the numerous choices, I surprisingly discovered that Grandmaster Long''s was a even more hardcore fan of my absolutely favorite battle manga series Dragon Ball than me, which could clearly be seen by the vast number of collectible Dragon Ball items he had prominently displayed as the centerpiece of his collection. Even are schools Gi or "Training Clothes" was the same classic orange and blue one that Son Goku and friends wear with the small exception of the symbol changing from the (¹ê) for turtle to the (Áú) symbol of are "Long" or "Dragon" school. The first summer I spent with Grandmaster Long before we even started training he suddenly declared that we would have a Dragon Ball weekend-long marathon in which we would not stop until we had watched the entire series. As we watched the many adventure''s of Son Goku and friends Grandmaster Long''s usually ascetic facade was replaced with that of a diehard Dragon Ball fan, his face lighting up like a young school boy while he excitedly lectured on the various flaws made by characters during fights and various other ways the Ki techniques each character had could be used more efficiently saying repeatedly that Dragon Ball was a decent reference for a martial artist so pay close attention..etc. After we had finished the entire series he actually gave me a 1,000 question test which fortunately was multiple choice. 2 Ki Control and Ki Sense After two years of training like this Grandmaster Long finally said I was ready to learn to fight. Thus began a new set of exercises which were much stricter, for Grandmaster Longs school did not have a set of special forms but used Ki to enhance the basic forms of martial arts. Grandmaster Long said that the strongest martial artist was not necessarily the one with the most powerful Ki but the one with the most control. As long as I could master complete control of my body''s Ki I would be able to utilize all sorts of useful and powerful Ki techniques. However before I could control my Ki I first had to be able to sense it. Although I had been meditating for 2 years already to enhance and purify my Ki, I still could not easily sense my Ki. Over the past 2 years there had been a few times while I was in the midst of meditating that I had briefly sensed the Ki within me flowing smoothly along what Grandmaster Long said was the "Microcosmic Circuit" however this feeling would only last for a few seconds before being lost. In order for me to be able to sense my Ki Grandmaster Long decided to teach me Tao Yin and Tai Chi. Tao Yin would help me gain flexibility and develop what Grandmaster Long called "Minds Eye-Heart Power", which I would couple with Tai Chi which promotes balance of the self, which Grandmaster Long said was the first step towards control of self and in turn Ki Control. I took another 2 years before I was able to freely sense the Ki within my body. Despite my own belief Grandmaster Long said I was a talented genius since it usually took at least twice as much time for most gifted martial artists to sense their body''s Ki. After 4 years of diligently training I could easily sense my Ki, which had grown to nearly 4 times the average humans. Grandmaster Long using the power level system from Dragon Ball would jokingly say that I had started with a power level of 10 and now had a power level of 40 but I still had a long way to reach Grandmaster Roshi. Taking these words to heart I continued to assiduously train every single day. After one year of training I had basic Ki Control. The following year I had achieved advanced Ki Control. After three long years of tirelessly training I had mastered Ki Control and was able to freely control all of the Ki within my body moving anywhere I wanted or sealing it within my body. Being able to suppress ones Ki and prevent it from leaking out was apparently very important according to Grandmaster Long, who said just like in Dragon Ball skilled and powerful martial artist''s could use Ki Sense to detect a person''s Ki. Grandmaster Long apparently had also mastered Ki Sense and was able to detect even the weakest persons Ki for miles around him, which explained why he had always easily won when we would "train" my stealthiness by playing hide and seek. Now that I had mastered Ki Control Grandmaster Long said I was ready to learn Ki Sense or Ki Detecting. The ability to sense my own Ki that I had already learned which apparently was just initial Ki Sense was just the basic requirement to learn Ki Control and not the Ki Sense Grandmaster Long planned to teach me. Grandmaster Long explained that Ki Sense was the ability to sense the location, amount and type of Ki all around you. The range of what you were able to sense would depend on first the level of mastery of Ki Sense one had attained and secondly how much Ki one possessed. Ki Sense training was actually easier than Ki Control training. Grandmaster Long and I would simply sit facing each other with a distance of no more than 2 feet apart, then would close our eyes and meditate. While I would try to Sense Grandmaster Long''s Ki he would release enough Ki to radiate a power level of 50. After another year of continuous hard training I finally had basic Ki Sense and could sense Ki within 5 feet of me. After another year I managed to increase my range tenfold reaching 50 feet. The following year I once again increased my range another tenfold reaching 500 feet. Now with both Ki Control and Ki Sense Grandmaster Long began to spar with me, saying that while I had a strong foundation I was still lacking the most important part for one to become a powerful martial artist, experience. At first we fought slowly as Grandmaster Long explained the various tactics and techniques of using Ki when one fights, using it to strengthen attacks and ones defense while also increasing ones speed of movement then once I had a few days to practice he no longer spoke simply attacked. Every day after that he would attack me randomly, day or night, asleep or awake, while i was eating or studying, even if I was showering or on the toilet, I quickly learned that no place was exempt from Grandmaster Long''s merciless assault as he continued to ambush me, raining down a few precise powerful strikes with his Ki infused fist''s before retreating far away in an instant leaving the demeaning sound of his mocking laughter in his wake. The worst part was that at the exact moment he attacked he would suddenly shout "OPENING" causing me to momentarily pause out of shock. 3 College Girls Slowly but surely after a year of Grandmaster Long''s relentless attacks my Ki Sense quickly developed on par with my battle experience and I began to anticipate Grandmaster Long''s attacks. As I accumulated battle experience my body began to move reflexively, dodging Grandmaster Long''s initial attack while I instinctively positioned my body in the optimum form to both defend and counterattack. Pouring Ki into both my legs and fists my counterattack was swift as I struck Grandmaster Long''s incoming fists and feet directly with my own, countering him blow for blow, the sound of metal striking metal ringing thru the air as are Ki infuse limb''s caused small explosions of air to fill the area around us. This like many of our most recent momentary bouts would only last for a few seconds before Grandmaster Long would quickly retreat with a few powerful steps, traveling hundreds of feet with every step that he took. By now my Ki had advanced by leaps and bounds and I had already attained a power level of more than 100, more than enough for me to make a few basic Ki Blasts. Yet despite the fact that unlike Son Goku and friends with the small amount of Ki I had arduously accumulated my Ki Blasts usually were no larger than a golf ball size orb of whitish light, and I could only fire off a few before I fully depleted my Ki, and their range was still only around 50 feet, and they took several seconds to form making them completely unusable for combat, I still felt excited every time I fired off a Ki Blast, watching the tiny glowing star-like orb shooting thru the air before with a bang it vividly exploded on striking its target, the blast radius covering at least several feet in every direction. Another year quickly passed during which so many wonderful things happened to me. I became far more proficient at fighting and finally was able to keep up with Grandmaster Long when he tried to escape. Now instead of leaving me in his dust when he retreated I would follow him and continue the fight until I grew tired or Grandmaster Long''s was forced to say stop. I also turned 18, went to prom with Mary (a nice girl who was the captain of the school gymnast team which had made it all the way to nationals) where we were voted best looking couple and chosen to be class King and Queen, and finally finished high school graduating as valedictorian. I also got accepted into my first choice college which surprisingly was M.I.T. since despite my handsome but thuggish look, (a side-effect from year of martial training) I was actual very mechanically inclined and according to my high school tech teacher was a unprecedented engineering prodigy of the century. When the day finally came for me to pack up the few things I had for college in the trunk of my slick 2015 dark green Toyota 86 I walk with a bounce in my step, excited for what the future held for me and felt fortunate that it only was a 2 hour drive from the campus dorms I was going to be staying at to either my parents or Grandmaster Long''s which I planned to visit frequently. Life as a student college was surprisingly both easier and harder than that of a high school student. with the more open class structure I should have had more time to train, yet for some reason seemed to have less time since I also had to get a part-time job and way more content to study. Still all in all I enjoyed my life and continued to walk forward along the path I had made for myself. However there was one really.... interesting...no terrifying thing I had discovered about college, girls! To be specific how they reacted to me. Despite the limitation of my age, after 4 years of high school I had gone on my fair share of dates with several beautiful girl''s and had even managed to avoid any of the usually nervousness of my fellow male peers, taking the dominant lead in ever relationship as I skillfully yet gently made it to 3rd base with all of them. Yet I had never really felt a strong enough connection with any of them prompting me to aim for a home run and unfortunately being the gentleman that I was, out of consideration for what was best for them I was forced to play the ass that broke up with all of them, but despite this I somehow managed to remain really close friend with them, because according to them I was supposedly the greatest guy they had ever met. So you can see that I had always been really well liked, especially by the opposite sex, but it had always remained at the level of a sunlight warm crush. Yet at college it seemed that all the girls had lost any and all social inhibitions they had towards the opposite sex when they met me, especially sorority girls who were a particular hassle for me. Many a time they would ask for my help to study only for me to get halfway thru the lesson and some sort of incident would occur with them desperately "needing" to remove several important articles of clothing concealing their most intimate parts. The worst part was the competitive spirit most girls seemed to have for my general affection. A simple careless hello casually given to any girl would result in countless looks of hatred and envy being focused on the unfortunate recipient who''s moment of bliss would quickly be followed with week long chastisement and jealousy fueled spurning. Hell, I couldn''t even finish a date without it being interrupted by the "unexpected" appearance of a few girls I had met who just happen to "coincidentally" be at the exact same place that we were. Like anyone would be coincidentally in a rowboat in the middle of a lake on a romantic moonlit night or rock climbing 800 feet in the air, yeah.....I''d say chances are slim at best. 4 Career Choice Out of curiosity about this strange phenomenon I consulted with Grandmaster Long who said it was a common side-effect experience by every user of our schools secret breathing technique [Dragon Breath] which caused them to have the highest purity of positive or Yang Ki humanely possible. Unlike the average person I had an overwhelming amount of Ki not only greater than ten healthy people combined but also exceedingly purer. Because of this excess of uncontaminated positive life energy I was constantly shrouded in a beguilingly charismatic aura while subtlety exuding a strong sensation of overwhelming goodness tinged with a inescapable magnetic allure people, especially those of the opposite sex found exceedingly addictive for it was in essence the aura of a peerless alpha male. So basically women felt not only energized but intense pleasure in my presence, as their bodies were filled with an instinctive yet inescapable and unexplainable desire to mate with the ultimate alpha male before them, which resulted in a woman having almost endless micro orgasms from my gaze alone. No wonder they were so obsessed with me, to these barely legal girls filled with raging hormones I was the human equivalent of extra strength catnip. However this strange side-effect would only greatly affect those with an average Ki, as for those who had trained their Ki but had less than me they would be able to resist it with some difficulty while those with at least twice as much Ki would be immune. This also explained why Grandmaster Long lived in seclusion, rarely dealing with the opposite sex. Probably the only reason they hadn''t tried to jump me yet was because I usually used Ki control to suppress my Ki reducing my power level to around 15 which was the lowest I could currently go. This also made me realize that if I released all of my Ki I''d probably cause them to all faint from a overdose of pleasure, or at the very least collapse on the ground as waves of pleasure ceaselessly wracked their young nubile bodies. Realizing the inevitability of my situation I decided to handle the problem head on and called the four most influential and beautiful girls on campus who had made little secret of the affections they held towards me to discuss the situation. After growing tired of several hours of heated discussion I was forced to implement a compromise which would mostly satisfy all party''s present. I would just date them all at the same time and they would just have to accept it. They would all be my girlfriends, simultaneously engaging in all the typical romantic activates that regular dating couples engaged in, this way no one would be left out. Even romantic nightly activities would be had together. Fortunately I had a really big bed in my apartment and an ungodly amount of stamina, which coupled with my transcendent technique and breathtakingly enormous equipment lead to countless long nights of passionately entangled limbs, sweat slick skin and nearly endless earsplitting girlish cries of wondrous world-shatteringly euphoric ecstasy. Time continued on and another seven years passed before I was finally ready to graduate. After years of industrious behavior it was time for me to reap the fruits of my labor, namely ten doctorates, yes ten. At first I had planned on getting only one but once I started college I discovered several parallel fields of study that greatly interested me. Bio Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Material Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and several others. This was also a side effect from training as a Martial Artist. Having a robust and pure Ki enhances every aspect of a humans body especially their nervous system and cognitive abilities. Due to assiduously training since I was 6 I had not only eidetic memory but powerful computational abilities that could rival most high-end supercomputers. At this moment at the age of 25 I graduated from MIT with honors and an impeccable academic record having achieved astonishing accomplishments for a person of my age. As a side note my four girlfriend who had remained with me since freshman year now lived with me and had insisted on holding off on their own graduation claiming they wanted to graduate with me. Now that I had graduated it was time to finally start my career. With my academic records and degrees I had hundreds of offers from all around the world, each offering incredible employment incentives however all along I never intended to take a office job for I was at heart a Martial Artist. I hadn''t spent 19 years diligently training just so I could stay indoors, HELL NO! The hot-blood of a Martial Artist that ceaselessly flowed throughout my body cried out for battle. However in this modern day with the global superpowers at peace with each other it was difficult to find a battlefield, indeed quite difficult, but not impossible. I decided to seek the wisdom of another who had proven throughout my life his astute sagaciousness, Grandmaster Long. Consulting with Grandmaster Long about my career choice once again proved the correct decision, and revealed a secret about my family I had carelessly failed to discover. Apparently Grandmaster Long and my grandfather were not only best friends but also business partners in a joint business venture, having founded the illustrious Dragon Corporation, a top class international private security firm that specialized in protecting high profile targets as well as performing rescue and retrieval missions. It seemed that both my parents worked in the corporate sector of the company, handling the red tape and meeting with potential clients. Although I had always known my parents both worked at the same company dealing with important people, the actual details of their jobs and the companies specialization had eluded me since I had spent the majority of my youth training and studying for school with a few brief interludes in-between. However what truly interested me about this company was the mainstream fieldwork side of the company. Despite sounding monotonous, being a bodyguard for an internationally high profile target has a surprisingly high death rate, for you would be surprised by the depths people would go to eliminate a single person. Rescue and Retrieval was even deadlier and required and even greater level of skill. A single misstep could turn a cakewalk mission into at the very least, a complete failure or at the very worst, a nightmarish deathtrap with zero chance of survival. 5 Dragon Corp. It was now blatantly clear to me that my grandfather had apparently introduced me to Grandmaster Long with not completely altruistic intentions, since apparently I was suppose to eventually inherit the huge international company they had built together, however being the magnanimous adult that I was I could forgive him since I adored Grandmaster Long and the path of the Martial Artist he had guided me onto. Resigned to my destiny, I decided I would like to see the company my family had created unbeknownst to me and promptly requested for a tour of the facilities so I could get the "lay of the land" so to speak. More than happy to acquiesce to my request Grandmaster Long make a phone call and less than 5 minutes later a corporate helicopter landed in the courtyard ready to take us to the company. Thirty minutes later we arrived at corporate headquarters which was a huge complex with three soaring skyscrapers connected by glass walkways and landed on the roof of the tallest skyscraper a 108 story building where we were met by some security guards and my grandfathers PA who had already arrange for a full-access tour of the entire company. As she handed me my security pass, are hands lightly brushed and I inwardly cringed as I noticed a familiar burst of barely contained desire suddenly blossom within her eyes as she breathlessly licked her upper lip, a crimson hue of color appearing on her lovely face as her heart began to race. Quickly thanking the young lady for her hard work, I gave Grandmaster Long a subtle look urging him to get the tour underway while I silently made a mental note to start wearing gloves. Noticing the predicament I was in Grandmaster Long smiled as a playful look of mischief appeared in his eyes before he also verbally commended the young lady attentiveness than skillfully distracted her before smoothly excusing us as he gestured for the security detail to hurriedly lead on. After years of hard work my grandfather and parents had turned Dragon Corp. from a US corporation to a multinational conglomerate that had subsidiaries which controlled major percentages of every conceivable industry known to man. From household appliances and motor vehicles to top secret military grade armaments and next gen research projects to food and entertainment and even real-estate and space exploration, Dragon Corp. had become one of the strongest global economic powers in the world, however the core of their business remained in private security and rescue and retrieval which had grown into a multi-trillion dollar industry for Dragon Corp. generating 65% of the conglomerates yearly income alone. This truly astonishing accomplishment had been a result of both my grandfather and parents hard work but the true key to their success had been the numerous brilliant suggestions Grandmaster Long consistently provided over the many long years. However Grandmaster Longs most brilliant suggestion which had revolutionized the private security industry had been to change the companies format from a strictly private structure to that of a hybrid form of both private and public with the employment of a freelancer like business structure. While originally only high-profile people could engage Dragon Corps. services, the company would now offer their services to the general public as well as allow people to make requests as well on Dragon Corp. official website or Smartphone app. Just like with any online service, Dragon Corp. required a user to first make an account then they could submit a mission for a monetary fee which would be determined by Dragon Corp. skilled administrative assessors after the missions ranked had been determined. Once the fee was paid in full the company would hold the money in escrow while the mission was posted on the Official Website. However all missions were restricted by their mission rank. If the mission was higher than a agents rank then they would be unable to see it, let alone even accept the mission. Joining the new and improved Dragon Corp. was now a simple process with only a few steps, however there were a few basic prerequisites to become a Dragon Corp. agent which were first, to be over 18 and Second, have no record of criminal activity anywhere whatsoever, if you met these then you could begin the process of joining. The first step was to pass a basic certification exam which checked ones skills as well as an extensive physical and background check. Once you obtained your Dragon Corp. agent certification you first major decision was deciding if you wanted to be a Free Agent or sign with the company as a Corporate Agent. While both choices had their pros and cons such as larger mission choices, discounts at all Dragon Corp affiliates, generous health and insurance plans, it ultimately came down to whether you valued your freedom more or your security because although it came with some major strings it was basically much more beneficial monetarily to become a corporate agent. Regardless of which type of agent you chose to become all new agents started as 1 star agents. Every agent was ranked on a scale from the lowest rank of 1 star to the highest rank of 7 star. Free Agents could work their way up to 6 stars but only Corporate Agents could become 7 star agents. The ranking system was another idea of Grandmaster Long who based it on the iconic Dragon Balls he loved so much which is why every agents id card had a familiar 3d graphic of a dragon ball showing their rank. To rank up a certain number of missions needed to be completed with a high enough completion percentage continuously then an agent could apply for a promotion exam. If they passed the exam they would be promoted to the next rank. 6 I Bought IT! As Grandmaster Long acted as my personal tour guide he showed me every inch of Dragon Corp. Headquarters which was based around three large skyscrapers which each filled a specialization. The main one we landed on was the corporate building were all of Dragon Corp was run from the top floor being the CEOs huge penthouse office and the floor beneath it the Executive Boardroom. The other two skyscrapers were respectively top-secret research labs on the left and Agent HQ on the right were housing, training, recreation, spas, armory, hospital as well as various other benefits were provided for the hundreds of thousands of agents signed with Dragon Corp. The towers also had their own specific names which had been decided by Grandmaster Long. The main corporate skyscraper was called Zeno Tower the research Skyscraper was Bulma Tower and the agents skyscraper was Goku Tower. After showing me the rest of Zeno Towers various facilitieswe came to the culmination of are Zeno Tower tour, the Executives Lounge. We then headed across one of the 3 skywalks heading towards Bulma Tower. Although a lot of the labs were filled with top-secret government projects I didn''t have the proper clearance level to see there was still several Dragon Corp. private top-secret projects I could see which Grandmaster Long who had the proper clearance level said was a real time saver since most of the governments projects weren''t that interesting. Although Grandmaster Long lead me from lab to lab showing me various brilliant inventions in many different fields of study the most shocking project was the C-Project which was a top-secret project Grandmaster Long was personally funding to create surprisingly enough Dragon Balls iconic "Capsules" that to my utter astonishment was actually nearing completion. As I gazed upon prototype C-736 (which was a 7 inch long black cylinder with C-736 in bright yellow printed on the side and only a button on one end) in disbelief I watched breathlessly as a scientist pressed the button before tossing it into a sealed reinforced lab before quickly shutting the door. Bouncing a few time it suddenly went POFF as it burst into a cloud of black smoke which quickly dissipated revealing a slick Dragon Corp. rice cooker. Unfortunately a few minutes later the rice cooker started to shake before groaning finally culminating in a violent explosion causing pieces of rice cooker shrapnel everywhere. It seemed they were still have trouble with materialization atomic stability. Still I voiced aloud my amazement as I complimented the various researchers generously for their world-changing accomplishment. The rest of the tour of Bulma Tower was a blur as I was still captivated by the C-Projects capsule research, my mind momentarily overflowing with various ideas. Once he''d finished showing me the rest of Bulma Tower Grandmaster Long proceeded to head towards Goku Tower which he confided with me was not only his favorite building but was filled with a lot of his personal idea''s. As we enter from the main public entrance I saw various huge recruitment ads playing on the exterior of the building which apparently was not only a wall but a display device as well. Entering the lobby we were greeted by several young ladies dressed in Dragon Corp.''s popular Corporate Agent uniform which was a slick black jacket with a golden Dragon Corp. logo (which was basically the letters D.C. surrounded by a coiling golden Shenron coming out of a pile of 7 glowing golden Dragon Ball''s underneath) on top of a formfitting black Gi with a golden obi-style belt with the same logo on the back and a pair of Dragon Corp. specially designed matching black combat sneakers. On the front of both the jacket and Gi was the agents name and a 2d golden dragon ball, prominently displaying the rank of the agent. Incidentally these lovely young greeters were all surprisingly 3 star Corporate Agents who were filing one of the mandatory jobs stipulated in their contract with Dragon Corp. Waving warmly towards the young ladies Grandmaster Long flashed them a winsome grin as we passed them followed by saying a few greetings to the ladies at the front desk before we continued onward to Grandmaster Longs private elevator. Riding the luxurious high-speed elevator Grandmaster Long would make random stops as he showed his favorite floors to me one by one. The most outstanding floors from are tour was the ones dedicated to training which were designed to simulate every possible situation an agent might face. The dojo however stood quite out with the rows upon rows of hundreds of men and women wearing the familiar Long School of Martial Arts orange and blue Dragon Ball rip-off Uniform loudly practicing their combat forms. This was only one of the many things I had shockingly discovered Grandmaster Long had seemingly taken from his beloved dragon ball series. Out of great curiosity after seeing countless references to Dragon Ball I asked Grandmaster Long how Dragon Corp. could have so many things from the Dragon Ball series incorporated into it without getting sued by the series creator. Turning towards me with a solemn expression Grandmaster Longs grim facade suddenly cracked as a toothy grin appeared on his face while he happily cackled aloud, "I bought IT!" gloatingly informing me that the first thing he did with his portion of the companies vast wealth was to buy the series from the original series creator as well as any and all rights associated with the series already sold by him for a hefty sum, and had also gone so far as to buy the entire company the series creator was signed with. Finally to seal the deal and show his sincerity he also gave him a brand new private villa so he could work in peace and continue to produce more of his favorite series. Damn, I had to respect Grandmaster Long, for he truly had gone all out showing how much of a hardcore Dragon Ball fan he was. 7 Seven Star Agen As we neared the top floors of Goku Tower we neared the 7 Star Agent domain which was the exclusive residential area for only 7 star agents. Every room on this floor was a luxurious suite fit for royalty with 24-hour call service which would fill any request in short order. Although at present there was only roughly 30 7 star agents with a male to female ratio of 7:1 they were all the best of the best and had mandatory training sessions with Grandmaster Long who taught them foundational Martial Arts and Ki meditation. With the full support of Dragon Corp. behind them and Grandmaster Longs meticulous training regimes 30 powerful fighters had been skillfully cultivated who could deal with any situation possible in the field. Unlike lower ranked agents, 7 star agents were mandatorily placed in teams of 5 with a equivalent distribution of skills held by each member with titles for each position which were Striker, Guardian, Medic, Intelligence and Support. These teams would periodically change members based on each individual team members progress which was determined during every mission they undertook. The teams were also ranked with incentive prizes to promote cooperation and general improvement of each agents mission performance. The agents ranking were prominently displayed on a ranking board in the center of the 7 star domain and was called the Rising Dragon Board with the top five names on the board were known as Dragon Corp. Super Dragon''s. While each team had a name and would periodically change a few members the best team however that bore the proud name of Dragon team had not changed since its inception and was filled with the 5 most skillful corporate agents in the world. Another peculiar thing I learned as Grandmaster Long brought me to meet Dragon Team (which was currently engaging in a training session) was that every 7 star agent was given a code name which was decided by Dragon Corp. mainframe computer upon passing the 7 star promotional exam. However what was peculiar was the names chosen were from a list of dragon ball characters which I realized when Grandmaster Long introduced me to the team leader of Dragon Team Trunks, followed by an introduction to their support member Bulma which apparently was another great idea of Grandmaster Long. Finishing the tour we headed back to the lobby were I promptly signed and underwent agent certification becoming a 1 star agent. However because of my unique position although I was in essence a Corporate Agent the traditional contract was waived in lieu of the fact I would be basically signing with myself. Waving goodbye to the many wonderful staff members Grandmaster Long and I headed back to the helipad were we were picked up by a Dragon Corp. Helicopter. Stopping to drop off Grandmaster Long at his private retreat the helicopter then took me to my home in the city, a 30 story apartment building of which I owned the entire penthouse floor. Hear I lived with my 4 special ladies who were all still out at work by the time I got home. The next morning having familiarized myself with the corporate agent literature given to me the day before I hailed a taxi and headed to Dragon Corp. to begin my life as a Dragon Corp. Agent. I had decided to work as a solo agent and over the next few weeks after completing a number of easy assignments I was promoted to a 2 star agent. The following month I was promoted to a 3 star agent, 2 month later I became a 4 star agent, then another 4 months passed before I became a 5 star agent. It took another 7 months to reach 6 star rank and the exam was somewhat difficult but I still managed to pass with flying colors. Now as a 6 star agent I was doing really well earning almost $500,000 after Dragon Corp. took their various processing fees per mission despite the danger and long hours. But now began a period of difficulty even for me what with my rapid ascent thru the ranks for it would take me at least a year to undertake enough missions to reach the final rank granted that they all were without any mishaps and so I continued to sojourn onward as I aimed for the rank of 7 star agent. And just like I had thought it took me 13 months before I filled all of the requirements to undertake the 7 star agent promotional exam. However according to Grandmaster Long this exam was different from all the others for after the usual exams and physical ability tests there was an additional final round of testing were I would have to challenge a 7 star agent to fight, if I won I would become a 7 star agent, lose and I had to start all over again. Historically since its inception everyone had chosen the safe bet to fight the lowest ranked 7 star agent I however was of a completely different opinion for I had been receiving Grandmaster Longs teachings since I was a child and learned that spiritual growth could only be achieved by facing and overcoming adversity. Having read the rules thoroughly I decided to raise the limit an challenged all of Dragon Team. The computer quickly accepted my challenge and summoned all of the members of Dragon Team to training room 1 which was located undergroundand was a massive space as large as a football stadium. Since an agent in essence was a protector I had to protect a human dummy while fending off Dragon Team who would act as a team of assailants trying to assassinate my ward. I had to protect the dummy for 3 hours or disable all of the assailants to pass the exam. As I headed towards the elevator for training room 1 I noticed several agents placing bets on the outcome of my exam which would be displayed live for all 7 star agents. 27 minutes and 44 seconds later when I exited the elevator, my uniform completely intact I was surprised by the looks of disbelief and even fear on most of the male agents faces while I even heard someone behind me whisper "Monster" as they pointed towards me. Thinking back to the fight I had just finished I realized why the male agents were so fearful of me was probably because I had mercilessly crushed Dragon Teams leader and striker Agent Trunks crotch with several rapid precise powerful kicks when he tried to sneak attack me from behind by reflex and also because I had accidentally stomped heavily twice on Agent Ox Kings crotch who was the teams Guardian when he had been knocked down from a series of powerful chops, this also was by reflex. After receiving Grandmaster Longs merciless training regime my attacks were all made with the intent to destroy my opponents with no hesitation whatsoever while my reflexes had been honed to perfection almost surpassing the speed of thought causing me to lash out whenever I detected an incoming attack instantly. 8 Legacy Technique Heading towards the processing desk for 7 star agents I signed several new documents after giving them a detailed examination then waited for the main computer to finish its evaluation of my exam and most importantly choose my new codename, my mind alight with the many possibilities still available. 15 minutes later the main computer finished its evaluation and a complete evaluation of myself was projected from a holo display on my Dragon Corp. agent wrist communicator. I had managed to ace every test given and after analyzing the final fight with Dragon Team the main computer determined I had a mission proficiency of 99.5% completion, penalizing me .5% since I hadn''t killed any of the team members. However the area where my new codename should be was still displaying a blinking "Processing...." causing me to hold my breath with anticipation as I hoped it would be one of my favorite characters. Roughly a minute later with a resounding "DING" the main computer finished its assessment an prominently displayed the name "Broly" in bold font. Making a fist pump I excitedly exclaimed aloud "YES!!!" for I had got my favorite character from the series who I felt had been very underrated due to simply not being the MC of the story. However after reading why the computer had decided to award me this codename I wasn''t sure whether or not I should still be happy, especially when I got to the part which stated I exuded "strong sociopathic traits" and was possibly "emotional repressed" as well as exuded immense joy upon "crushing" several opponents reproductive organs which was a "classic" sign among animals of masculine dominance as I asserted my position as "Alpha" by repressing their ability to procreate. Still I tried to focus on the positives instead of the negative as I still was all in all quite happy with my new codename. Of course Grandmaster Long expected me to pass with flying colors, after all I was "HIS" legacy disciple after all who "HE" had diligent raised since he was a small boy I overheard him cockily boast as he quickly walked from agent to agent collecting various large sums of money from betting on the outcome of my exam. Grasping a pile of cash which should at least added up to a few million firmly in his hands Grandmaster Long appeared next to me laughing as he patted me on the back and "generously" passed me 10 dollars which apparently was my cut of his winnings before he congratulated me saying I had managed to protect the Long School of Martial Arts reputation and then he momentarily became solemn as he said that since I had shown true sincerity he now would pass onto me the core inheritance of the Long School as he secretly handed me a small booklet before telling me to eat it once I had memorized its contents. Going straight to my newly assigned residence I sat down before quickly pulling out the small booklet Grandmaster Long had given me for examination. Apparently the secret breathing technique Grandmaster Long had taught me [Dragon Breath] was only the first level of the technique. According to this booklet, The Long School of Martial Arts core breathing technique was called the [Eternal Breath of the Unlimited Dragon], a pinnacle breathing technique created by the founder of the Long School that had been passed on for generations, each inheritor improving it until now when it had reached me, perfected thru the ages by my predecessors. Unlike other breathing techniques this one focused on continuous eternal Ki growth and once mastered incorporated the best aspects of meditation into daily life enabling one to attain a passive state of perpetual Ki purification and growth as well as a state of pinnacle well being at all times regardless of what I was doing. The second level focused on the [Unlimited] aspect, creating a passive continuous cycle of Ki growth, enabling the user to train at all times with every breath increasing the total amount of Ki they could possess. The legendary third level which only two other inheritors had ever reached focused on the [Eternal] aspect which would incorporate a complex meridian Ki circuit within the body that would use the force of Ki leaving the body to pull even more in, creating a positive feedback cycle and in essence give the user and endless amount of Ki which would never deplete. Now once I mastered the second level [Unlimited] of this pinnacle legacy technique with every breath I took whether I was asleep or awake, breathing slow or fast my Ki would continue to be purified while also growing slowly yet inexorably with every second allowing me to in essences train at all times, anywhere. After memorizing every detail of the legacy technique I followed Grandmaster Longs instructions and ate the small booklet which apparently had been made out of some sort of edible paper which surprisingly tasted like a scrumptious sugar cookie. Activating the privacy function that every 7 star agents personal suite had I quickly started training to master this awesome breathing technique. 5 days later I emerged from my room exuding a flawless bearing that appeared as though I had become one with nature, while the sound of my breathing had gained a certain inexplicable charming rhythm to it. Much to my surprise Grandmaster Long was right outside my room when I emerged and wordlessly stared at me before giving me a cursory examination his piercing gaze discovering all the changes I had acquired after my period of solitude. Nodding once towards me approvingly he uttered a simple "Second level Unlimited, good" before suddenly disappearing down one of the corridors. 9 Exciting News From this day forth I was different from other people, for whilst most people would continue to grow weaker the older they got, I would continued to grow stronger with every second that passed yet perhaps out of long habit I continued to remain steadfast to my assiduous physical training regime. This continuous increase of strength of course did cause a few things in my life to change but the most significant was when I arrived home one day and discovered my girlfriends had brought home two more girls which they insisted I add to our family. According to them it was becoming increasingly harder for them to withstand are long nightly sessions of lovemaking which would leave them thoroughly drained the next day. While I had noticed a slight increase to my libido I hadn''t realized how demanding I had become and promptly apologized for being and inconsiderate lover to them all. However they said I had nothing to apologize for since I was the perfect lover and had faithfully brought them all to heaven every night, filling them completely with unimaginably addictive pleasure it was just that they would also like to wake up in the morning not completely drained, so they had discussed the situation amongst themselves and decided that if they added a few more girls they could spread the love so to speak and would be less tired every morning. Curious about the opinion of two girls they had chosen to add to our family I introduced myself warmly with a smile and asked if they were ok with the situation and discovered they were very agreeable for they were also freshman from my college days and had apparently fallen in love so deeply with me that year that they had avoided any other guys hoping for a chance however slim it may be. Knowing this I could easily imagine how ecstatic they had been when they had received the call from my girls about joining are little group. Seeing they were so happy I shrugged and said as long as it was ok with them it was ok with me knowing that this wouldn''t be the last I heard about this. And so are little family grew by two more (for now) but are nightly sessions remained as eventful as ever. Another three years went by and I continued to achieve the impossible with my mission feats outclassing all my peers, my exploits now legendary amongst those in the same field of work whilst the myth of Dragon Corp. Agent Broly had become larger than life with a reputation for both creating miracles in the field while also possessing terrifying might which was only exceed by his bloodlust. As I entered Zeno tower today to work in my corporate office I warmly greeted everyone I passed wearing a perpetual grin from ear to ear on my face and happily humming a fanciful tune as I energetically headed towards the elevator. But by the time I reached the elevator I started to notice the weird looks people were giving me. It seemed everyone was shocked by my peculiar behavior but I couldn''t help it for I had unknowingly gained a certain bounce in my step as I will filled with endless vigor for life. Of course I knew why I had gained this extreme vigor for life and it all started the morning after I had returned from a week long mission almost three weeks ago. During that morning a few weeks ago as I gave my traditional morning goodbye kisses to the row of lovely ladies next to the front door which was the last thing I did before leaving for work every morning I was suddenly informed that the most wondrous thing had happened, for it appeared our already large family was about to grow again for all 12 of my special ladies had all somehow miraculous become pregnant at the exact same time, (hmm...I smell a plot, my precious angels must have schemed behind my back again) and were now all in their 4th month of pregnancy carrying5 boys 4 girls and 3 pairs of twins much to my disbelief. In about 5 months or so I would suddenly become a father with 15 beautiful children I was so excited I couldn''t contain myself as I had already taken the entire floor beneath the penthouse and had it remodeled as a state-of-the-art nursery and was now filled with what must have been every type of baby toy in the entire city, especially stuff animals. However after a week of me constantly buzzing around the penthouse as I attempted to take care of all 12 of my now pregnant ladies (who all looked even more radiant than usually as they all literally overflowed with womanly energy and motherhood especially when they happily rubbed their slightly bulging stomachs with looks of immense joy and wonder for the miracle of life contained within) they had all grown less fond of my incessant hovering and nitpicking and were now practically pushing me out the door saying they would be alright for at least a few hours. So I went back to work, but decided I would stay in my office and maybe try and finish off a few of the mountains of paperwork on my desk so I could go home every night but after the first few weeks of joyful jitters I started to worry until it became so bad that even meditation and Tai Chi didn''t really help. Eventually I realized I needed to get physical and blow off some steam so I decided to accept a 7 star retrieval mission and get out of town for a weeks. 10 BULLSHIT!!! Now we come to end of my story, which although epic in its nature was also unfortunately quite comical of and ending for a 7 star Agent and Martial Arts Master such as myself. Even now I cringe as I recall the circumstances of my demise. In order to blow off some steam I had accepted a 7 star retrieval mission set in Nepal. It appeared a certain warlord had gotten his hands on a prototype stealth MIRV and was dead set on launching the terrifying weapon on Shanghai. The nighttime airdrop got me in smoothly enough and I made a perfect landing. Following a cursory check of my equipment I began dismantling the mountain fortress''s various defenses and 300 or so guards easily, then made a quick trip to the command center where I easily dealt with the warlord, who by the way was a complete and total ASS who just wouldn''t stop with the insults. I then found the prototype stealth MIRV which had already been programmed and fueled and had already begun its countdown sequence. Unfortunately they had modified the missile removing the external wireless access meaning it now could only be deactivate by direct access. Leaping 20 feet into the air, my Ki shrouded fingers easily pierced thru the black stealth coated inch thick exterior metal shell of the huge missile as I quickly climbed up 30 feet to the access hatch. Ripping off the hatch, the metal briefly groaned before popping off with a screech. However just as I reached inside to disengage the launch I suddenly heard the sound of a missiles engine explode behind me. Much to my disbelief it turns out that the mission briefing had apparently been missing a vital piece of information which was that there was actually 2 experimental MIRVs instead of the one I was currently clinging to. As I gazed up in disbelief at the missile shooting into the morning sky I quickly assessed the situation. First, as all Dragon Corp. stealth missions dictate I had no method of external communication, also the MIRV was designed for perfect stealth and becomes completely undetectable once launched, and finally there was no aircraft within hundreds of miles leaving me with only one option. Leaning my head right I activated my earpieces music playlist while I pierced my arm and feet deeper into the MIRV''s shell, a sigh of exasperation escaped my scowling mouth as I made a split decision, furiously cursing under my breath as I continued moving my hand while changing what I was reaching for. Bracing myself, I angrily cursed out loud "Ah hell, This is BULLSHIT!!!" as I press a red "LAUNCH" button, the first bars of "M?tley Cr¨¹e''s - Kickstart My Heart" began to play while simultaneously the missiles engines instantly roared to life, rapidly launching us into the sky. As I, along with the stealth MIRV went from 0 to Mach 10 in under 60 seconds I increased the amount of Ki covering my body to protect myself from the increasingly growing strong wind currents, chilling cold temperature and the missiles rapid movements as it adjusted it flight path. Less than a minute later we soon caught up to the other missile with a distance of only a few dozen feet in-between. with one hand pierced into the side of the missile I was riding and the other still within the access hatch I continued my work silently cursing my fate as I set the missiles to change course in 5 minutes towards outer space and the self destruct for 20 minutes. My work with this missile done I took a deep breath as I gathered my Ki into my limbs, than making a precise estimate launched myself off the missile I was currently on towards the other several dozen feet ahead right when the song roaring in both my ears past the 2 and a half minutes mark growing soft. I would be lying if I said I was completely unafraid for the moment I was in-between the 2 missiles in mid-air my ass clenched while my heart rate spike. As adrenaline flooded my body everything seemed to slowdown and I held my breath as I neared the missile, my hands slowly reaching out in front of me before with a jolt the music grew loud once again and time resumed its normal speed while I discovered I was safely clinging to the middle of the missile. With a laugh of joy and disbelief that I had actually just pulled that off I quickly climbed the body of the missile towards the access hatch then with a "RIPP" followed by a "POP" the hatch disappeared while I humming along with the epic end of the song reached inside the hatch and after glancing at my watch set the course to change in 3 minutes towards outer space and the self destruct for 18 minutes. I had set both missiles with precise calculations to change course just as they reached the middle of the south china seas so I could bail out safely over the huge body of water, whereupon I would go down while they would go up and hopefully safely detonate in the depths of space outside the atmosphere as long as none of the satellites had changes their orbit in the last 10 hours. 11 Epic Death Alas mother nature is a fickle bitch, whose temper is only exceeded by her wrath. With only one minute on the clock until I was supposed to bail the missiles suddenly entered a massive thunderstorm while my playlist continued onto the next song, the familiar twang of a electric guitar playing as the "Scorpions - Rock You Like A Hurricane" began to echo in my ears. With black clouds blocking my sight and lightning raging all around me I felt my blood run cold as I instinctively sensed immense danger. Unfortunately the lightning was much faster than I was and a massive bolt struck me head on rapidly depleting most of my Ki while bouncing across both missiles. this first bolt was followed by a strange second even stronger green bolt which finally pierced thru my Ki Guard. As the minuscule bolt of pure green energy entered my body I felt my vision grow dark as I barely remained conscious. Unfortunately my time was up for the course change timer I had set activated and the missiles began to rapidly ascend once again. A few seconds later the missiles erupted from the dark storm clouds as they headed full-speed ahead for the outer atmosphere. Despite the massive drag factor of wind and gravity, traveling at mach 10 which is faster than the speed of sound in less than a minute both missiles entered the stratosphere while the temperature began to rapidly plummet, a thin layer of ice already forming on the noses of both missiles. Barely conscious, after being struck by a powerful bolt of strange green lightning it was a miracle I was still alive let alone conscious, yet my situation continued to look grimmer with each passing second as I travelled farther and farther away from the planet''s surface while the meager amount of Ki I had remaining which incidentally was the only thing protecting me from a variety of deadly factors was also rapidly being depleted. A minute later the missiles exited the mesosphere and entered the thermosphere officially reaching outer space and it suddenly grew eerily silent yet I could still feel their engines continue to roar as they rocketed towards the exosphere and then the depths of space. As I gazed down upon the entire planet, my earpiece suddenly glowed to life as the last song I would ever hear in this life, "Europe - The Final Countdown" began to play and as I listened to the lyrics which oddly resounded with my present situation I had to admit that as far as last things to see go it was by far the most beautiful thing probably anyone had ever seen ever, for what filled my eyes was a heavenly vision of the entire cosmos with the moon on my left, the sun on my right and earth like a glistening jewel in the heart of this breathtaking sight. It was at this moment that I realized I wasn''t going to make it back home, not that I had resigned myself to my fate for I would never lose hope nor stop striving my utmost to survive but I had done the calculations and in less than nine minute when my Ki depleted I would either suffocate, explode or turn into a popsicle however any of these would kill me almost instantly with my current injured state although I figured all 3 would happen simultaneously to me. Worst was that I had no strength left in my body so removing my arms which I had pierced quit deeply in to the missiles metallic shell during the thunderstorm was impossible meaning even if I had more Ki I would still die from the nuclear explosion. Still my mind raced with thoughts as i desperately tried to find any chance to survive. Yet once again fortunate seemed to favor me poorly for tragedy befell me once again in the form of a small field of space debris which traveling at the speed of 17,500 mph was literarily a "field of death" to me. As I mustered what little will remained within me to survive I braced myself for what I figured was the end. when the space debris finally collided with the missiles it was like being in the middle of an intergalactic warzone with various sized pieces of death hurtling by from every single direction simultaneously, sparks shooting up from every place the missiles were struck by debris. Yet as soon as it started it suddenly ended and I had somehow survived what should have been my end. However it seemed I had spent the last of my luck surviving the debris field for unbeknownst to me a piece of shrapnel had damaged the missiles detonator causing the countdown to accelerate exponentially. The last thing I remember was laughing as I gazed down at the world which had been my home while the faces of everyone I had ever loved or known flashed thru my mind culminating on a vision of my parents, my grandfather, Grandmaster Long and all of my lovely ladies carrying my unknown unborn children waiting for me back home, then a flash of blinding light and heat covered me then.....nothing, the missiles had detonated and I had died instantly. Yet he now recalled that at the moment he had died he had felt some sort of residual lightning leftover from the huge strange green bolt that had pierced his body stir within him as though it was struggling to escape. However as he quickly went through his memories again he suddenly realized there was one very important thing missing from his memories. "Wait.....what''s my name, I can''t remember my name?" Despite the eerily strangeness of being unable to recall what his name had been it seemed that it was the only thing he could find missing from his memory as he went thru them for a final third time. "Well it looks like I lived a pretty good life, made no major enemies and even managed to leave behind a considerable genetic legacy so my lineage will continue and my parents will be happy, still I must admit I was really looking forward to raising all 15 of them." "So as someone that lived then died I believe all in all I did rather good, living quite the fulfilling life before I died. But as far as regrets go I figure the only true regret I have is that I will never managed to fulfill my hearts deepest desire which is to discovery what is the true pinnacle of Martial Arts and how far I could have climbed thru effort and diligence." Having come to terms with his former life he now began to examine his unusual present state as a bodiless consciousness floating amidst a sea of twinkling stars. But now that he was apparently dead he wondered where he was for this peaceful dark place certainly didn''t look like heaven nor did it bear any resemblance to hell. As an active catholic he remembered hearing Father Sebastiano''s sermons every Sunday morning about the fate of those who died and the boundless mercy God gave to those who truly repented from the heart. Which now caused him to wonder about last rites since he was pretty sure his entire body had been disintegrated instantly by the explosion. Unsure of where he was or what had happened to him he decided it was best that he just focused on dealing with his present condition and dealt with these questions later. 12 Miraculous Rebirth!!! Now as a bodiless consciousness, after experimenting for a while with various methods he seemed to be able to somewhat move slowly around, propelled by his will alone. In a strange way it felt like swimming thru a sea with a density thinner than water, but thicker than air. After practicing for and inestimable amount of time he became proficient enough to move about at a rapid pace. This form which lacked a body seemed to never grow hungry although after moving around for a while he would feel weaker and would have to rest for a bit. After learning how to move around he decided he would explore his surroundingsand see if he could find a way to escape this strange place. From where he currently was he could see various multihued specks of light floating in the void around him. Each speck of light had a different size and level of brightness. However there was only a single speck that was closest to him. Unfortunately it was one of the largest he could see and looked like a blazing green sun which exuded a supreme sovereign-like aura. But as someone who had already died once he was undaunted by the sun sized speck of light and immediately heading unswervingly towards it with his will like iron and his heart like diamond, both completely peerless in their solidity. As he neared the immense green golden sun he suddenly heard the powerful roar of a ancient mythological beast before suddenly feeling himself begin to be drawn towards the sun against his will. Realizing he was being pulled in he instinctively began to resist, struggling to escaped the suns inexplicable gravitational pull. Putting all his strength into fleeing, just as he felt himself begin to pull away he suddenly felt a surge of energy from within suddenly awaken sensing the nearby green sun which unhesitatingly began to head straight towards it, it strength immeasurable he was powerless to resist it pulling him along with it directly piercing into the green golden suns unknown depths. As he entered the glowing green sun with a thunderous POP he momentarily sensed another incredibly primitive yet powerful consciousness within but it suddenly disintegrated from a burst of overwhelmingly powerful green lightning which shot out from his core, the suddenness of this attack completely unanticipated. As the consciousness began to dissipate it unleashed a powerful cry of rage which suddenly became a scream of terror as he felt himself rapidly begin to draw the now powerless consciousness into himself smoothly absorbing the entirety of the disintegrated consciousness. With his absorption of this other consciousness he felt himself grow stronger then suddenly sensed a change in the atmosphere from cold aloofness to sudden unquenchable desire to nurture as he felt himself starting to merge with the powerful radiant green golden sun, within its welcoming embrace. As the process naturally began he felt himself growing sleepy and smoothly entered a restful state of slumber. ..... An inestimable amount of time passed before he suddenly awoke from that state of restful slumber. As his incoherent thoughts began to coalesce he suddenly began to sense that several things had changed. The first thing he realized was that he had eyes again because he reflexively opened them. Tentatively he looked around discovering he was in a dark place without light but he could feel that he had a body again and that he was completely submerged floating in some type of fluid. However he seemed to be unable to move his limbs which felt weak and although he was unable to breath normally he was still breathing. Suppressing the sliver of fear he felt he focused his chaotic thoughts, calming himself thru sheer willpower then closed his eyes and began to sense the entirety of his newfound being. Focusing on the faint rhythmic sound of his heart beating, he slowly fell under its hypnotic beat entering a state somewhere between conscious and unconsciousness, time seeming to slow down until he reached a perfect balance within allowing him to extend his senses to the innermost of his being. Focusing on the blood within his veins he focused on the flow, following it from his heart up through various different sized veins within his head then back down again into his body were it flowed out towards his limbs then back towards his stomach where his belly button should be. Focusing on his belly button he sensed a strong flow coming into his body and going out simultaneously, causing his eyes to instantly snap open with shock as he suddenly realized why he felt so weak and more importantly where he currently was. "Unbelievable!!! I''m a unborn fetus inside a womb. Judging by how weak I feel and the fact that I just regained consciousness I''m probably only 5 months old which means at least another 4 months of floating around in here until I''m born. Still, I can''t believe I''m alive again and will have a second chance to live again. Wait a minute....that means I have to go thru puberty again! Shit! Still it''s better than being dead. I wonder where I am and who my parents will be? Oh well only time will tell!" As he was currently unable to go anywhere and he had many questions but no means of answering them he decided he would take advantage of the significant period of time he now had and begin to meditate using the most foundational breathing technique of not only the Long School but of all Inner Martial Arts Schools, Embryonic Breathing. This breathing technique actual was created to emulate the state of a baby within it mother''s womb who breaths through his abdomen from his umbilical cord. By utilizing this method one did not simply breath air but blood and even the purest life energy which is the so called Ki. This technique would help promote not only Ki but health, longevity and general wellness of ones entire being even go so far as to prevent one from easily becoming sick. Grandmaster Long had even known several ascetic monks who had mastered the technique so well that they could seal themselves underground and remain there without air, food or water and emerge completely fine many years later. Entering a meditative state he easily began to employ the embryonic breathing technique since technically he was already breathing thru his abdomen via his umbilical cord. However as he reached the part of the technique were one began to draw in Ki from the cosmos he suddenly felt a massive influx of Ki unlike anything he had experienced before. If he was to make a comparison then while the largest amount of Ki he had drawn in his past life had been like a tiny trickle of water the amount he was drawing in now felt like the unceasing flow of a roaring, raging river and to his utter shock he felt the flow was slowly growing stronger with each passing second. At first he was afraid his immature body would be unable to handle the massive influx of Ki and explode, but surprisingly instead of feeling himself become dangerously bloated from too much Ki he felt the cells of his body leap with joy as they ravenously devoured the in-flowing Ki and within a short few moments discovered the flow of incoming Ki was unable to keep up with his cells seemingly limitless rate of absorption. Realizing there was no problem with the vast amount of Ki he began to focus on increasing the incoming amount, going all out with his embryonic breathing technique causing the river of Ki to continue to grow larger and larger. As he continued to mediate and focus on maintaining the continuous flow of the massive current of Ki to his apparently bottomless cells time continued on and soon he felt himself growing stronger then even his strongest state in his previous life. Days soon turned into weeks and his rate of grow was ceaseless for he continued to grow stronger and stronger while the river of Ki had now split into two massive rivers twirling around each other in a spiral as they were drawn unceasingly into his body, where they were instantly devoured by his voracious cells. Based on the amount of Ki he had absorbed so far he figured he was now at least a hundred times more powerful then he was just before he had died and although he felt somewhat afraid of this rapid rate of growth he was far more concerned with who he actually was and what was so different about his new body''s monstrous bloodline that made it able to continuously absorb so much Ki. 13 WHAT! IsM THE LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN!!! As the weeks turned into months his strength maintained its rapid pace of growth while the only difficulty he faced was the ever increasing amount of Ki needed by his cells. By now the two rivers of Ki had become nine and were flowing continuously around the clock, while his strength had reached a level he had never imagined possible in his wildest of dreams. If his estimations were correct he was now at least 500 times as powerful as his previous life''s peak and if going by Grandmaster Longs estimation of his strength had been at a power level of 103 than that would me he now had a power level of more than 50,000. While this meant he now had a immense amount of Ki, in gaining it so quickly he had sacrificed balance and control. However he had maintained his rapid rate of growth despite knowing this because he had instinctively sensed that when he was born he would be in dire need of great strength to survive. But now that he could sense he was nearing the time for his birth he began to gradually slow down the flow of incoming Ki until it finally stopped. With the remainder of his time he would focus on attaining Ki Control Mastery and regaining his Ki Sense as well. As he continued to meditate with a focus on controlling the massive amount of Ki within his small body time continued to flow on and the day of his birth continued to grow closer until a few days past a week he suddenly felt the amniotic sac surrounding him beginning to weaken as well as sensed changes happening to his mother''s womb telling his greatly anticipated moment of birth was imminent. A few hours later he suddenly felt a loss of pressure near his head as the fluid around him began to quickly drain signally his mother was going into labor. Fortunately his efforts at attaining control of his Ki had born stellar results and although he had yet to obtain complete and absolute control, as far as hiding his Ki and lowering his power level to almost nil was something he could now easily do with even greater skill than his past life and which he promptly did lowering his power level to what he figured was about 3 which was a suitable level for a healthy newborn infant. A few minutes later with a little subtle help on his part and he emerged from his mother healthy and whole in the hand of what he only could assume was a doctor. But as he attempted to look around his newborn eyes were instantly blinded by the glare of bright lights overhead. Fortunately the blindness was only temporary and a few seconds later with the help of a sliver of Ki into his eyes he could see again. Now wary about the bright lights he tentatively opened them again and beheld a shockingly familiar yet unexpected sight. Surrounding him was three familiar looking human-like creatures wearing white face masks and white full body medical gowns with a set of upper torso armor with wide shoulder guards on top. But what caused him to be shocked was not the appearance of these so called "Doctors" which although strange could be easily explained with a variety of reasons but the device firmly attached to their left side of their face. Unbelievably it was a scouter, one of the most common seen devices from Dragon Ball used by Frieza Force who had made the device standard issue since it not only could be used for communication but had long-range life-form detection abilities which could accurately determine the power level of every detected life-form. Seeing three pairs of orange beady eyes studying him intently he suddenly heard one of them speak with a raspy tone. "Saiyan infant 10001 delivery successful, Gender: Male, Parents: Paragus and Cress, Power level: 3. Evaluation: low-class warrior. Nurse immediately deliver the Saiyan infant to the nursery room for viewing and assignment." "WHAT!!! Did he just say Saiyan Infant!? And my Parents are Paragus and Cress! That means that I''m....no I can''t be, Paragus is probably a very common Saiyan name. Yeah very common.....right?" Soon a lovely young Saiyan nurse wearing a pink short gown and with shoulder length black spiky hair appeared next to the alien doctor holding him and gently took him. As he was lifted his view shifted and as he was brought towards the door he could see another woman laying in a delivery bed, her eyes closed with sweat on her brow which did little to hide her natural beauty. The young nurse gently carried him thru a maze of identical corridors until they arrived at a dimly lit room filled with rows of tiny beds for Saiyan Infants. As they entered the room he could hear a baby''s incessant crying filling the room. To his great misfortune he was placed on the bed right next to the wailing infant Saiyan. Having finished delivering him to the nursery the lovely nurse quickly departed and soon he was alone in the dimly lit room with a bunch of slumbering Saiyan infants who seemed to be unaffected by the irritating crying which filled the room. Turning towards the crying infant, his face scowling with a look of blatant displeasure at the infants malevolent exploitation of his seemingly limitless lung capacity he carefully studied the infants features before he released a sigh of resignation. "Damn it! I didn''t want to believe it was possible but this proves it. This is definitely Son Goku or rather Kakarrot which means I must definitely be the Legendary Super Saiyan....Broly. And now that I''m next to him I can completely understand why he hated Goku so much, heck I''ve only been here a few minutes and already I want to choke the life out of the little bastard. Such a genius level ability to annoy could only belong to one Saiyan protagonist. But more importantly it seems I dodged a major bullet by suppressing my Ki to a power level of 3." Originally Broly was born with a power level of 10,000 which caused King Vegeta who feared his limitless growth potential as a future threat to his leadership to order his execution immediately after he was brought out of incubation 2 years later. This of course was a foolish mistake made by a petty king who was completely oblivious to the impending doom of his race brought about by his own greed by giving the visiting god of destruction Beerus "the second-best pillow in the universe instead of the first which he wanted " which King Vegeta took, this resulted in him greatly injuring the king out of displeasure with his insulting behavior, and easily defeating Prince Vegeta - who attempted to attack the god. After this incident before going to sleep, Beerus ordered Frieza to destroy Planet Vegeta because they annoyed him, which he quickly carried out although it was later revealed that Frieza also had a strong fear of Saiyan power. Still it was really hard to think with Goku''s loud crying going on practically next to ears like a bullhorn. However unlike the original Broly he was able to skillful use his Ki which made dealing with such a problem for him quite literally child''s play. Gathering a speck of Ki on his right forefinger, with a series of rapid flicks he shot a few tiny energy bullets precisely into a several pressure points on Son Goku''s body causing him to stop crying as he entered a state of restful slumber. As the formerly noisy room was suddenly filled with silence he breathed a deep sigh of relief before beginning to assess his current situation. 14 Advantages To start with he began to check his physical state, examining his limbs and body and was surprised by many things. first of all he had a full head of hair which reach all the way to his bottom were he discovered he had the traditional Saiyan monkey-like tail which he realized he could easily manipulated. After playing with it for a few minutes moving it all around, scratching his nose with the tip and even using it as a blindfold to cover his eyes he finally placed it in his hand and braced himself before giving it a gentle squeeze. Surprisingly instead of feeling a surge of pain and a loss of all bodily strength he merely felt the firmness of his grip upon the tail. This was unexpected since the greatest weakness most Saiyans have is their tail, which when squeezed will cause them agonizing pain. Only elite-class Saiyans who have trained hard to overcome this weakness are immune to this debilitating limitation of the Saiyan physique, some even going so far as to use it as a weapon. However he and Grandmaster Long had always theorized that with the right training and application of several secret tail techniques it was absolutely possible to turn the Saiyan tail into a terrifyingly powerful weapon beyond even the greatest of Saiyans imagination. Now that he absurd as it may seem was in fact an actual Saiyan with his own monkey-like tail he could actually now turn this theory into fact. In fact now that he thought about it, he realized he was actually in the Dragon Ball Multiverse which Grandmaster Long had constantly lectured him about so assiduously throughout his youth. With the vast amount of content and future knowledge he possessed he could easily acquire countless benefits which would enable him to rapidly grow in strength. But his biggest advantage was not this knowledge but his body, the body of the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly which had the strongest warrior bloodline of the Saiyans, containing the greatest potential in all the universes combined. With the skills he had diligently cultivated under Grandmaster Long in his past life plus the skills he could acquire in this world he would be able to draw out all 100% of his limitless potential. It seemed God had answered his prayer and granted him a second chance to reach the pinnacle of Martial Arts. Now his first major concern was when Frieza would destroy Planet Vegeta for there had been some discrepancy on the actual period although the exact year was age 739 which was the same year that his little annoying neighbor Son Goku was sent by his parents Bardock and Gine at the age of three to earth. Seeing as Goku had only been born a few hours before him he could safely assume he had at most 3 years to prepare to escape the Planet. As he was thinking about the future he suddenly heard two alien engineers stop outside the door to the nursery. "Alright you take corridor L - 27 on the right and I''ll get the one on the left and make sure you use the right calibration setting this time. The Chief said we could only go home after we finished installing all the computers on this floor with the right settings and updated them with the new software and its already two hours into the new year and I haven''t even gotten a drink." "I hear that, I been working two shifts straight and I could really use a hot meal with a cold one." "Then get your scaly ass into gear and finish your work....." As the voices of the two aliens faded away as they both hurriedly departed he realized from what he had overheard that it was the new year which cleared up some of the confusion he had about what year it was confirming it was the first day of age 737 and also that Goku was born in 736. This meant he only had less than 2 years instead of the initial 3 years he had erroneously estimated previously to get ready to escape Planet Vegeta. The original Broly had escaped the planets destruction by deploying a unique technique to him, the Ki Barrier which was strong enough to withstand the force of the exploding planet and escaped into space with his father Paragus. He of course had no plans on helping Paragus escape since he had eventually placed a mind control ring to assure his own safety but later he made plans which reduced Broly to a pawn that he could employ to help him achieve universal domination. Such a power hungry bastard he would never help, but that didn''t mean he couldn''t take someone else with him. After all he had a long road ahead of him and he didn''t plan to travel all by himself. Perhaps over the next 2 years destiny would intervene and he would meet just the right person to take with him when he made his escape but only time would tell. After spending another hour making plans for his future eventually the fact that he was a newborn took its effect and he slowly drifted off to sleep. 15 Meeting Paragus The next morning he was awoken by the sound of several people entering the room. Looking up he saw a familiar looking head of spiky hair on top of a ruggedly handsome face with a large scar on the left check and a scouter with a green lenses attached to his left ear. He has a slightly darker skin and fully outlined, sharper eyes. he wore a dark blue and green Battle Armor, and has red cutted pants and black and green combat shoes. It was Bardock, Goku''s dad and next to him was his wife Gine, a petite Saiyan woman with a lighter-pale skin complexion, onyx eyes, and shaggy black hair reaching her shoulders. She wore a sleeveless black combat bodysuit and pink combat armor highlighted with green and outlined by white, in addition to purple armbands and white combat boots. Her armor also had a thigh-length hoop. "Ho, there''s my little Saiyan warrior! Look at him Gine, Kakarrot looks just like me his father!" "And it looks like he sleeps just like him too! Look at him Bardock, our son is sleeping so peacefully and here I heard from the nurse earlier he was very spirited crying loudly when he was delivered." As Bardock and Gine continued to talk another person came into the room, his steps sounding heavy with emotion. Walking solemnly towards Bardock and Gine who upon seeing him curtly saluted him. "Commander Paragus, it''s a privilege and an honor sir. On behalf of Bardock squad I''d like to extend my deepest appreciation for your brilliant strategies which have saved me and my men so many times." "At ease Bardock, there''s no need for formalities between two fellow Saiyans who have both fought on the same battlefield. In any case I''m not really in the bests of moods right now." Noticing the heavy expression on Paragus''s face, Bardock''s faced flicker with several unseen thoughts before he solemnly spoke. "I heard about Cress Paragus, it''s a real shame." "It''s no one''s fault Bardock, who could have expected her, a almost mid-class Saiyan to die only a few hours after give birth to our son. In anyways I only have a little time to make arrangements for Broly as I''m scheduled to head off-world for Planet Gards this afternoon." "Ah Planet Gards! I hear the fighting is getting rough their?" "Which is exactly why King Vegeta is sending me. The little bastards have a high-level of technology which they''ve used to build disposable bio-bots which have a power level around 500 and are really good at tunneling. Their scientist are embed deep underground in several mobile military bunkers were their pumping out thousands of the ugly things continuously which continue to attack are men with suicide tactics around the clock." "Well then, the best of luck to you Paragus!" "And you Bardock, now if you''ll excuse me, I''d like to talk to my son for a moment." "Not at all, me and Gine were just going to take Kakarrot home to his incubator anyways, right dear!" "Y-Yes of course! Come on Bardock, best get are little Saiyan warrior home and safely placed in his incubator!" As Bardock picked up his son Goku who was now wide awake we happened to lock eyes and he waved at me, his face covered with a wide winsome grin. "Bye!" In response I only narrowed my eyes before uttering a low grunt of acknowledgement to my future rival for regardless of whether I was the original Broly or myself the new and improved Broly we were destined to be at the very best rivals, or at the very worst, sworn enemies. As I turned backed to face my father I did little to hide the stern expression on my face which oddly enough perfectly matched the one currently on my father Paragus''s face. Locking are gazes, we silently entered a staring contest with each other which lasted for several minutes before suddenly Paragus''s solemn expression broke as he smiled. "Good, despite your low battle power you have the disposition and courage of a mid-class Saiyan like your father. This will serve you well in the years to come, however that will depend on whether you survive your first mission. You look so much like you mother, and have the same low potential she had which is why I can''t bear to look at you Broly. I am going to place you in a incubator were you will spend the next three year growing.You will then be sent off-world as and infiltration infant. Survive and prove you are worthy of the noble Saiyan blood which flows thru your veins." Have said all that he felt needed Paragus signaled to a nurse who had silently entered the room and gave her explicit instructions concerning the agreements he had made for me than without saying another word departed. As I watched him leave the room I had a strange feeling that this was probably the last time I would ever see him again but who knows what the infinite future had in store for me. The nurse who was a sexy pink skinned alien with bright orange hair and a modest bust flashed me a smile before picking me up and carrying me thru the maze of corridors like a skillful navigators who unerringly knew the way to are destination. Eventually after half an hour of walking we arrived at a door with I-998 printed on it. Entering the room I could see several long rows of egg shaped glass chambers which were filled with a luminous bubbling green tinted fluid. Most of the chambers already had a Saiyan infant suspended in the middle of the fluid peacefully resting. However in the far corner near the front row there was a single chamber empty which I figured was where I was supposed to go. ..................... Authors Note: So with this I''ve posted 15 chapter so far and we are now at the threshold of the dragon ball canon story line. Posting chapters will probably be stopped for a few days since I have been working really hard on another original story also posted here (Level-UP Hitman) which I am also writing. I am planning to push out a bunch of chapters over the coming weekend to finish that stories first arc then will start to really focus on this one but ULDB''s releases will still be slow with probably only 2 chapters a week since I want to write a unique yet canon accurate story that I''ve always wanted to see for Broly. Since his character was first introduced I fell in love with this amazing character which is why I was so furious when he continued to illogically lose twice due to the MC''s plot armor. Now I plan to rectify that error since Broly is clearly the most OP of DB characters ever made, having innate talent far surpassing Goku and Vegeta. Now as far as ULDB''s story line goes I have it all planned out as far as the end of the tournament of power but I also plan to have Broly leave the main canon story line alone for the most part although he will meet most of the familiar DB characters and martial arts teachers long before Goku does as he learns the many wondrous and awesome techniques they know. But he also will see, meet and discover new characters and many other things which are of my own logical creation and will fit in perfectly with DB just fine. Lastly, the answer to the most obvious question is yes he will collect all of the dragon balls, probably more than once and make some interesting wishes, but what those wishes are you will just have to wait and see. So best of luck to all and thank you for reading my vision of the ideal Broly in all his OP glory. - Sagacious 16 Identity Acceptance As the nurse brought him to the incubator she started to talk to him with a smile on her face, as she informed him about how lucky he was to be able to use the latest incubator which apparently were exclusive to only Saiyan infants who had elite-class potential. The latest incubators apparently could improved a Saiyans infants power level growth rate as well as their physique improving bone density, blood purity, musculature definition of the body, and basic knowledge enabling a newborn Saiyan infant to emerge several years later with a powerful body couple with resilient Ki and basic combat knowledge. This wondrous miracle of technology was made possible by a wide array of sensors coupled with an arrays of supercomputers which would continuously monitor the infants vitals to precisely control the concentration of the nutrient solution, which was the green fluid which filled the incubator. The nutrient solution was a significant discovery made by the Saiyan on Planet Vegeta which was originally called Planet Plant during the decade long Tuffle-Saiyan war. Other than its remarkable healing properties it had powerful enhancing effect on all aspects of the growth of Saiyan infants especially their power level allowing a Saiyan infant to emerge with a power level of at least 300. It was this historic discovery which led to the creation of the Saiyan infant incubator which all Saiyans now used to raise their children in their initial years until they reach the age of three were they would either begin training as a warrior, engineer, or be sent off-world as and infiltration infant. As he listened to the nurse list all the key aspect of the latest Incubator he suddenly heard something that made him somewhat anxious about entering the incubator. Apparently he would have to breath the nutrient solution which was designed to be easily inhaled. However seeing all the other Saiyan infants nearby which looked perfectly fine he gritted his teeth as he roused his will to dispel his doubts. Pressing several keys on the incubators control panel the top of the chamber smoothly opened revealing the gently bubbling nutrient solution within. With practiced skill the nurse slowly lowered him into the solution which was actually lukewarm. As the nutrient solution reached his shoulder she suddenly thrusted him into the greenish solution feet first causing him to suddenly plummet with a gentle splash into the azure depths of the incubator. Moving swiftly she quickly pressed a button on the control panel causing the hatch to swiftly close with a hiss as it sealed. Despite the expected fearful struggle from a suddenly lack of oxygen the nurse''s eyes blinked in disbelief as he slowly floated inside the chamber with arms crossed. Flashing her a flirtatious wink he suddenly opened his mouth and resolutely inhaled deeply causing several gallons of nutrient solution to flood his lungs. Tensing his muscles he resisted the urge to struggle as he forced himself to breath in and out. After taking several deep breaths he became accustomed to the strange sensation of breathing a liquid which was heavier than air. Seeing the look of shock on the nurses face his eyes briefly glowed, exude a strangely hypnotic force he then flashed her a winsome grin before dominantly dismissing her with a single wave of his hand. Surprisingly the nurse respectfully bowed towards him before immediately departing the room. It wasn''t until several minutes later after she had departed that she suddenly paused as she realized the oddness of what had just happened and wondered why she had felt so compelled to follow the young Saiyan infants silent command. Shaking her head in dismay she made a mental note of the peculiar infant before continuing to walk on. This bout of compulsion had of course been his doing using a combination of body language and ocular hypnosis to subtlety influence the subconscious of the nurse to obey him briefly. He had done this because firstly he wanted to be on his own but mainly he was somewhat miffed over the nurse suddenly dropping him like that into the incubation tank since he was sure it had been one of the instructions of his "father" Paragus. Of course this slight manipulation would cause no lasting damage and was in truth a simple prank played by a newborn child who bore no ill will towards the young nurse, merely a brief spat of childish displeasure. But enough about this, it was time for him to consider more important things and he would first start with his identity, for what was a person without and identity. Even now he still could not recall his name from his past life and had started to feel this was intentionally done by whatever force had allowed him to be reborn, as though forcing him to accept a new one to foster a stronger integration into his new life. While he abhorred the fact that someone held such control over his existence, he could also understand and was in truth grateful for being given a second chance at life realizing this was probably for the best. Having acknowledge this he thought for a moment, considering several different names before deciding it was best that he stick with the one his body currently had for he felt it was a rather good name for the dragon ball universe and also because for a few years as a kid he had secretly wished his parents had named him this name instead of his former name. So from this moment on there was no original nor new and improved, there was only him, Broly, The Legendary Super Saiyan and he fully intended to live up to that title, for just like in his last life he was sure that his exploits in this one would also be legendary. 17 Ki Marbles Ultimately one of his main goals was to defeat Goku and the rest of the Z-Fighters in front of all the universes at the Tournament Of Power, proving he was the strongest in the entire Dragon Ball multiverse. However that was not for another 41 years and more importantly this was a competition between universes which meant that even if he wanted to compete against Goku he would be stuck being on the same team. Therefore the only way he could avoid this and several other disturbances of universe 7''s timeline was to leave universe 7 altogether and migrate to a different universe were he would set up shop and blend with the locals. This of course was perfectly fine with him since he actually realized he could now achieve one of his more romantic Dragon Ball obsessions, the union of Broly and Kale, who was the Legendary Super Saiyan from universe 6. However at the present moment she wasn''t even born yet and wouldn''t be for at least 20 years hence he estimated, which meant that he had plenty of time to train before they met. So currently his primary goal was to perfect his basic combat skills and master his unique Ki Barrier technique, Powered Shell so he would be able to escape the Planet when Frieza destroys it in 2 years, then he would find a place to lay low and train for another year. After that he would try to locate a space ship or at the very least an attack ball and head to earth were he would start his journey of universe 7''s and stock up on various provisions and items as well as pay a visit to a few famous Dragon Ball character to learn several useful and powerful techniques. With his currently plans made he felt his mind and heart become free of any and all unnecessary thoughts and worries which was the optimum state to enter meditation and begin his Ki training, however he would have to be careful to control his Ki to maintain his low-class Saiyan facade and remain low-key. And so Broly began to meditate, practicing the secret breathing technique of the Long school causing his Ki to flow throughout his body along a certain path as he slowly refined the Ki entering his body from the nutrient solution, purifying it with every breath he took as he laid down a solid foundation for his future. After several days had past he began to train his Ki Control using the Ki Marble Technique he had invented to train his Ki Control which was divided into tiers of mastery which were basic control 25, intermediate control 50, advanced control 75, mastery 100. First he would create a small ball of Ki to appear on his finger-tip which he would then slowly control to roll along the exterior of his hand like a remote-control car. Several hours later he added a second one, then another hour after he added a third one. Every hour after he would increased the of Ki Marbles by one causing the difficult to rise but also enabling him to swiftly promote his mastery of Ki Control. A week later he could smoothly control 25 Ki Marbles and could manipulate them as if they were his own hands and feet. The next week he managed to double that number raising the total number he could control to 50 Ki Marbles. Two weeks later he reached advanced control and a month after that he finally achieved mastery. With his Ki Control training finished for now he moved on to training his Ki Sense. Unlike the other Saiyan infants who were either suspended loosely or in a fetal position in their incubators Broly had crossed his legs assuming a lotus stance with his palms firmly pressed together in front of the center of his body and his eyes closed as he peacefully meditated, extending his Ki sense around him like a field of invisible energy which enabled him to observe everything in his entire surroundings so clearly and precisely that not even the slightest movement of a single speck of dust could escape his notice. As the days passed on so too did his range continue to swiftly grow gaining hundreds of feet by the day. by the end of the first week of his training he could observe the entire base around him, and incidentally discovered that the incubator room he was currently in was in a secluded part of the base deep underground. This of course was currently advantageous to him and he blessed his good fortune to be located in such a remote area. Now he would be lying if he denied observing the Saiyan women''s bath for long hours as he watched them cover their lovely toned bodies in mounds of foaming soapy suds or touching each other''s various shapely assets playfully in comparison, however he had only done so a few times out of purely scientific curiosity of the female Saiyans anatomy and not out of any baser perverted desires,....honestly, after all he was still just a child. True he was a child inhabited by the soul of a mature 30ish year old who was used to spending long vigorous nights of giving limitless bliss to multiple ladies simultaneously, but still in essence, at least physically he was a child so there was no problem...right? 18 Unexpected Guests! Immersing himself fully in his training his gains rapidly soared and the range of his Ki Sense after 1 month of training had extended to encompass half of Planet Vegeta and he now could observe every Saiyan currently on the planet for despite being the most powerful warrior race in the universe, after losing both their homeworld of Planet Sadala and then undergoing a decade long world war with the original inhabitants of Planet Vegeta the Tuffles, their population had dropped dramatically and they now number barely 33,000 causing them to inhabit less than 1/10 of the entire planet. Furthermore since they had been annexed by Frieza they had become mercenaries who would invade worlds then conquer or cleanse them of their inhabitants in preparation to be sold, causing them to have a high mortality rate which further compounded their populations issues. It had now been 3 months since he had been born and his training had been going exceedingly well while he had managed to conceal all traces of his Ki from his fellow Saiyans and especially King Vegeta who despite having a power level of about 10,000 which was only 1/5 his own power level still posed a serious hidden threat to the current him, for unbeknownst to him Frieza had specially instructed his engineer corps to fit every piece of equipment given to the Saiyans with various surveillance devices which could monitor and track every living Saiyan, especially the ones who wore a scouter which was literally transmitting their location in real-time. Which is why despite knowing he had unlimited potential he was fully aware that currently that was all that it was, potential and he still desperately needed time and a safe place to grow. As long as he could continue to train in peace he would quickly grow. This is why he remained quietly training in his incubator waiting for Frieza to arrive instead of immediately leaving the planet for despite the planets impending doom, for the next 2 years he was completely assured of his safety. As he reached the 4 month of his new life Broly continued to train and suddenly realized a tragedy that was currently going to happen on earth, the death of chi-chi''s mom, who should be quite near to if not already dead from and unknown illness. This was a big event in chi-chi''s life for she would grow up not having a mother causing her to be shy and cry easily when fighting. Of course after meeting Goku she started to change until they eventually grew up and got married whereupon she turned into a somewhat tyrannical dictator of their home and became obsessed with Gohan, her first sons academic accomplishments, while having a negative attitude towards his involvement with all things concerning martial arts. All in all though she was an excellent mother to her 2 sons and regardless of her countless bouts of displeasure with them both for becoming involved with martial arts and her husband Goku''s behavior she only wished the best for them. A few days later near the afternoon he suddenly sensed two people slowly approaching his incubation room and paused his training to listen and observe the 2 individuals who suddenly stopped a few feet away from the door to Incubation room 998 having a rather humorous conversation. "Wow! How bold Chief!" "Quiet you jinx!" "Are you sure about this Chief, what would your wife think if she saw you dragging a beauty like me into this secluded area filled with hints of forbidden romance?" "She ask me to wash my hands before coming home for dinner since she could see I was dealing with a barely Saiyan child oddity that reeks of idiocy, failure and explosives." "Ouch, you''re obviously not pulling your punches Chief! In any case I don''t understand what the big deals is, this wasn''t even my fault. So several people were badly injured, I did take care of the clean-up as well as submitted a formal apology in triplicate to all party''s involved with the explosion just like the Director ordered! Ooh, now what is this interesting place?!" "Enough! We''ve all had it up to here with you, your constant deceptive words and most importantly, you''re crazy destructive inventions which always, ALWAYS EXPLODE! Now both I and the Director have tried to overlook your many mishaps over the last few years on account of how deeply we both respected your parents who as everybody knows were both incredible first-rate engineers, but this, is, IT! From now on you are assigned to incubation room 998, were your only duty is to make weekly reports as you monitor the incubators for any issues. Stay here and try to avoid causing anymore issues you accursed jinx. One more mistake, just one tiny thing and you''ll be on the next ship off-world as a field support engineer, understand you inescapable vortex of disaster?!" "Yes sir! Oh by the way chief." "What?" Mwah! "Thanks Chief!" "Wh-Wh-Whatever you inveterate child flirt! Just remember, not one more mistake! NOT! ONE! MORE!!!" 19 A Shocking Discovery! Watching the Saiyan Chief engineer hurriedly scurry off down the corridor he turned his attention to focus on his apparently new roommate who had a completely unique yet enthralling appearance. Clad in an uniquely designed white Saiyan skintight combat jumpsuit that clung to every inch of her body and left little to the imagination in the form of a long-sleeved one-piece dress that started with a plunging neckline which revealed a generous amount of her uncharacteristically for a Saiyan Double D ample cleavage and stopped mid-thigh, halting a few inches shy of the top of a pair of sexy ivory high-heeled thigh-high combat boots. On top of this alluring assemble she wore a black mid-calve lab coat with a big crimson plus on the back and a slit in the back near her rear from which a dazzling typical yet unusually colored half dark gold and half sparkling silver Saiyan tail extended from waving playfully to and fro as she sauntered around the room, her hips swaying hypnotically from side to side. Unusually straight and long for a Saiyan black hair flowed down her back to her bottom with luminous gold and silver highlights running throughout it like thick strands of constant flowing energy. A sleek looking black scouter with a crystal clear display was attached to her left ear, covering a shimmering silver colored eye which was the leftmost half of a pair of entrancing heterochromia eyes, the other colored a dark gleaming gold. However it would be the height of foolishness to assess her by her frail entrancing appearance alone for she rather blatantly and foolishly exuded a vigorous Ki with a power level of roughly 500. Despite her earlier voiced dismay for her new assignment she exuded a cheerful impression and was apparently quite diligent as she quickly began to assess her surrounds before proceeding to explore the large room filled with row upon row of the latest incubators. After she finished exploring the room she began to hum a playful yet soothing tune under her breath as she went from incubator to incubator making notes of her observations on a thin clipboard shaped holo-screen projected from a high-tech looking sleek black wristband computer on her left arm with a graceful wave of her right pointer finger. Examining the inside of her coat carefully with his Ki Sense he slowly search her pockets and despite a variety of devices and hi-tech tools securely attached to the insides he eventually discovered a ID Card inside the inner left pocket of her black lab coat which had a picture of her winking flirtatiously and her basic information which read, Name: Jewel, Gender: Female, Date of Birth: 731, Potential: Low-class, Occupation: Engineer. Above the line which read Occupation there was a large SUPER handwritten in bright colors with a downward insert arrow before the word Engineer. Saiyan engineer Jewel, her name truly suited her for despite being a part of the battle born Saiyan warrior race she had a heart pounding figure with unbelievable hourglass curves forming the ideal compact goddess-like body with a height around 4''7" (her 4" heels included) coupled with her youthful gorgeous face which exuded and incomparably soothing air of love and kindness tinged with a child''s insatiable curiosity culminated in the miraculous creation of a uniquely precious and dazzling treasure. Yet despite her earlier exuberant and buoyant start, after finishing with nearly half of the fifty latest incubators her enthusiasm seemed to have waned, her pace becoming sluggish as it continued to grow slower by the second until eventually she wore an indifferent expression upon her lovely face as she gazed at the young Saiyan infants quietly asleep in there incubators, her eyes having lost their brilliance now having grown clouded with complete and utter boredom for her newly assigned monotonous and simplistic duty which could easily be done by someone with far lesser qualifications then her own. But this sudden loss of interest in her newly assigned duties was a trivial matter next to the mind-boggling issue he discovered after he did some simple math in his head for he had suddenly realized she was only 6 yrs old, SIX!!! Simply unbelievable, for she had the appearance of a overdeveloped 16 year old, that was nearly three times her real age, which then made him wonder what she would look like when she did in fact reached her Saiyan adulthood. This also explained why the Chief engineer had called her a Saiyan oddity because typically Saiyans go thru a few phases of growth instead of a continuous, slow growth until maturity like normal Earthlings. Saiyan infants develop mentally at a much faster rate than Earthlings, as they''re able to take care of themselves and even fight at a much earlier age than human babies, and tend to enjoy rough behavior that would be considered unsafe for a regular human infant. But unlike Earthlings Saiyans have a naturally much long childhood than humans, retaining a small childlike appearance for much of their early life, which is an natural defense mechanize designed to allow them to deceive others around them as they grow older. Growing tends to vary between Saiyans as much as it does with Earthlings, but in general most Saiyans tend to grow through 3 phases, infant, child and adult. After being born a Saiyan infant will rapidly mature in a few years into young child who appears as though they were a 7 year old Earthling. At the age of 14 most Saiyans will appeared to have stopped growing still looking like an average 7 year old Earthling and even several years later they will still barely exhibit any signs of further growth at all, their limbs growing out only slightly, as well as a small increase in height and musculature. However upon reaching physical maturity around the age of 20 a Saiyans body will undergo a massive growth spurt that causes the Saiyan to grow into a size suited for battle. Beyond superficial changes from this point on, the Saiyan will hardly age at all, remaining in the prime of their life and ready for battle for the rest of their life unlike Earthlings. Logically she should be in the young child phase yet she looked like a sexy teenager with a pair of perky Double D''s which meant there was either something really wrong with her body or she was a really special type of Saiyan and this was in fact her child phase. This shocking thought caused his imagination to overload as he realized if this was so then she would definitely grow up into a peerless beauty with a perfect knockout body. 20 Brolys Uniqueness Revealed! As she made her rounds she slowly drew closer to the incubator Broly was in, quietly meditating as he used his Ki Sense to observe her drawing nearer. When she arrived near his incubator he watched her pause, her dull eye growing bright once more as she suddenly noticed the differences between him and his fellow incubator neighbors for unlike their loose or fetal appearance he was in a elegant lotus stance, slowly breathing in and out large amounts of nutrient solution. Intrigued by this blatant difference Jewel examined the holo readout in the upper corner of the incubators clear chamber which read, Name: Broly, Gender: Male, Parents: Paragus / Cress, Date of Birth: 737, Potential: Low-Class, Power Level: 25, Time in Incubator: 4 months. The reason his Power Level was now 25 was because he was gradually raising it to maintain his facade since it was normal for a Saiyans infants power level to grow while inside a incubator. After reading his information, Jewel was unable to suppress he curiosity (after all despite her mature appearance she was only 5) and approached the incubator chamber, pressing her face against the glass-like material for several seconds as she wondered why his appearance was so different from the other slumbering Saiyan Infants before moving back a few inches. Tentatively she extended a finger and tapped on the egg shaped chamber making a "TINK" "TINK" "TINK" sound with her fingers elegant gem-like nail. After several gentle taps she seemed to become emboldened, losing some of her apprehension as she continued to tap on the chamber increasing the tempo and force of her taps. Hoping she would lose interest he continued ignored her tapping despite the immense annoyance it brought him, however 10 minutes later Jewel was still persistently tapping on the chamber although by now it had changed from a gentle series of taps into a furious tempo like the sound of a herd of running horses, each tap flowing into the next almost without pause. Maintaining this pace, Jewel continued her relentless assault on the exterior of his incubator consumed by a child''s insatiable curiosity for another 2 hour without pause. As they started to near the 3rd hour Broly felt he was nearing the very limits of his patience and just as he was about to say something Jewel suddenly stopped. Relieved, Broly reflexively breathed a deep sigh of relief, unfortunately Jewel had only stopped tapping but was still observing him closely from the exterior of his incubator. As a Saiyan her eyesight like all Saiyans was very keen, hers was exceptionally so, so she easily noticed the sudden change in his breathing upon her abrupt cessation of tapping causing her to gasp aloud before a mischievous smile appeared on her beautiful face while her gem-like eyes began to radiate a playful glow. "Ooh, now that''s interesting! Your very interesting indeed Broly!" Of course Broly realized his mistake the moment he made it however it had been reflexive and it had already happened so there was no point in worrying about it anymore. Still he disliked the obsessive look upon Jewel''s lovely face for it caused her to have the appearance of a devoted hardcore stalker, a look he was unfortunately quite familiar with from his past life. Seeing her eyes blaze with the undying intent to uncover the wondrous mystery which lied before her as she once again pressed her face against the incubators glass-like surface caused him to sighed heavily as he realized she was now hooked and there was absolutely zero chance of dispelling her interest in him. "Well, I guess I just have to deal with her, otherwise it will be impossible to train in peace from now on with her constantly investigating me." he thought pensively. With this thought Broly suddenly opened his eyes while channeling a small amount of Ki into them causing them to glow malevolently and her to jump back in fright as she released a uncharacteristically for a Saiyan high-pitch squeal of fright. Channeling more Ki into his eyes he instantly increased their brightness before suddenly stopping causing his eyes to momentarily blaze with white light before returning to normal. Seeing Jewel cowering on the ground recoiled in fear, Broly gracefully separated his hands and rested them on his thighs then began to study the annoying precocious beauty while wearing a stern expression on his childish face, his brow furrowed with vexation from having to halt his training. Like two powerful spotlights Brolys eyes roamed slowly from head to toe, examining Jewels physique and clothing for clues just like Sherlock Holmes allowing him to rapidly deduce several distressing facts about her and her personal life. Noticing his extraordinarily piercing gaze which leisurely yet carefully examined her from head to toe seemed to cause Jewel to regain some of her courage and she quickly rose to her feet wearing a playful smile on her gorgeous face as she once again tentatively approached him before she suddenly stopped and made several slow flirtatious spins, pausing in several different poses to show off her good angles all the while giggling, her face glowing with mirth and the playfulness of youth. Halting her provocative display she moved even closer to the incubator then spoke, her voices like the sound of tinkling chimes. "Well hello their Broly, I''m SUPER engineer Jewel, did you like my SUPER sexy dance? I could see you were checking me out you naughty boy so I decided to give you a better look. I wanted to show you all of my SUPER good points, "WINK" or were you looking at my SUPER special custom made uniform, it''s from a planet of weaklings I discovered in the galactic database called Earth. Apparently all of their engineers and medical staff wear big coats like this and call them lab coats although only the medical staff have ones with this big red symbol on the back. I thought it was SUPER cool so I made my own but I added a few SUPER special additions to the original design. Anyways tell me why your body is in such a different stance then the other infants and how come your eyes suddenly went "FLASH" and why are they not going "FLASH" now and I also want to say I wasn''t afraid and I definitely didn''t scream, for I am a Saiyan and a SUPER engineer and that means I''m, like never afraid of, like anything, understand!? Wait, why am I even asking you this anyways, your only a stupid Saiyan infant and even if you could talk it would still be impossible for you to do so since your still inside your incubator." 21 The Start Of A SUPER Friendship! Hearing her disparaging remarks Brolys eyes suddenly narrowed as he felt himself grow annoyed by Jewels blatant disregard for himself and more importantly his abilities which is what caused him to be suddenly overcome by a completely irrational urge to personally voice his contrasting opinions to the precocious Saiyan girl directly. "I wouldn''t be too sure about that Jewel." Brolys childlike voice suddenly rang out in her ears eerily. The applications of Ki were nearly limitless, which is why the Dragon Ball multiverse had so many wondrous techniques. You could even project your voice using Ki, allowing you to speak from long distances away directly into someone''s ear or even with the right technique their mind. Although he had not learn such wondrous techniques, by a special application of Ki Control he was able to project his voice into someone ear as long as they were in range of his Ki Sense. This is how he was able to speak to Jewel even though he was fully immersed in nutrient solution. "AHH! D-D-Did you just talk to me!" Jewel exclaimed frightful as she shakily pointed at Broly calmly floating in the middle of his Incubator. "Yes, I did." "B-B-But how, it doesn''t make sense!" "It makes perfect sense "SUPER" engineer Jewel as long as you understand one thing. That I Broly, am "SUPER" awesome." He mockingly replied. "W-W-What, that doesn''t answer my question at all!" "Hello, I''m Broly." "Ah yes, nice to mee...Hey, don''t try and change the subject!" "Ugh...Fine, it''s just a "SUPER" special way of using power okay Jewel. "Oh, that make sense. So why are you in that weird stance and why are you able to talk already?" "As far as why I can talk I already told you, it because I''m "SUPER" awesome." "But..." "NO BUTS! I BROLY AM AWESOME! UNDERSTAND!!!" "Bu...fine, your awesome Broly...." acknowledged Jewel quickly after seeing the scary look in Brolys eyes as she tried to deny his self-proclaimed "AWESOMENESS". "Good girl. Now this stance I am in is to help me with training my power." "Really?" "Yes really." "But that''s completely different from how we Saiyans normally train, I should know, since I already finished basic training 2 years ago when I left my incubator." "Well my way is better than whatever foolish way you were taught. And before you ask how I know, it because I''m AWESOME! UNDERSTAND!" "Yes. So maybe you could teach me, like if you wanted, I mean, I''m not saying I want to learn, just that I would be willing to, if, you like wanted to that is, okay?" Jewel tentatively asked. "Maybe later Jewel, right now I have little time to waste and already I''ve lost valuable training time talking to you." Broly dismissively replied. "Oh.....Okay. Well it not like I wanted to learn your stupid training stance thing anyways stupid Broly, I don''t need to waste my SUPER "valuable" time talking to some stupid Saiyan infant, I mean what does a stupid Saiyan infant like you know anyways...Hmph!" exclaimed Jewel petulantly. "Now Jewel there''s no need to act like that, believe it or not I already know a lot about you so don''t try to fool either of us with those empty lies and that glass facade, not only is it mentally demeaning to both of us but only serves to hinder the growth of our wonderful new relationship. If you must know, from what I''ve seen so far despite your irregular for a Saiyan outward appearance you are only 6 yrs old but because of your remarkably high intelligence and fear of rejection you act flirtatious like an older female who cares little for relationships would as a defense mechanism, while in truth you desperately crave social interaction and acceptance from the other Saiyans which has consistently proven impossible so far not only because of your odd mature exterior appearance but also because of your physical differences (different colored eyes, tail and hair) which has caused you to be permanently ostracized by the rest of the Saiyan community. This coupled with your low-class potential, subpar power level and a intense fear of fighting makes you unable to connect even on the most fundamental issues to a Saiyan which is why you are constantly trying to build useful inventions so that people will like you and also is why every night when you go home you cry yourself to sleep." Broly said deductively while smugly thinking "take that Holmes." "H-H-H-How do you know all that?" Jewel exclaimed in disbelief, her mouth gaping wide as she covered her face in embarrassment over Brolys penetrating analyses, his words peeling back every layer of her hearts defenses as he effortlessly exposed all of her deepest secrets making her feel both naked and vulnerable before this bizarre Saiyan infants emotionless emerald eyes. Yet at the same time for some inexplicable reason she also had a sense of euphoria at someone finally paying her so much attention. Smiling for the first time since they had met, despite his infantile exterior Broly exuded a venerable and otherworldly air as he replied with a nearly forgotten tone now unfamiliar to Jewel, a tone full of warmth. "Because unlike the other Saiyans I am really looking at you with eyes free of social prejudice or disgust for your differences which allows me to clearly see the real you Jewel. A bright, gentle girl who is both intelligent and beautiful." "D...Do you really mean that?" she asked tears forming in her eyes as she braced her vulnerable heart for the usual piercing rejection she had come to habitually expect. Yet instead of the expected killing verbal blow Broly remained true to the words he had spoken as he raised his right hand and placed it firmly atop her left hand which was also pressed against the incubators glass then projecting a stream of invisible Ki filled with his goodwill he caringly replied exuding the aura of an absolute protector and stalwart defender causing her to feel for the first time in her life a sense of unprecedented safety as he spoke. "I do indeed Jewel. You are truly one-of-a-kind!" Hearing his reply filled with all the feelings and emotions she had always wanted to hear from another Saiyan her tears overflowed from her eyes as she began to heavily cry, two rivers of tears forming on her beautiful face as the dam in her heart which had repressed her true self for so long finally shattered from the penetrating warmth of his words causing a tidal wave of emotions to flood her mind as she stutteringly expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Broly. "W-W-Wow, t-t-thanks B-B-Broly! That''s...that''s the nicest...nicest thing anyone''s ever said about me EVER!" "Well I meant every word of it girl." he warmly said reassuringly. Looking at her staring at him with her star struck teary eyes and a expression of true joy upon her lovely face Broly suddenly felt his heart race as he momentarily forgot his was still an infant before he quickly suppressed the manly urge to burst out of his incubator and grasp her tightly within his heart-warming embrace. She was like a lost little kitten desperate for warmth and attention from another living being and Broly had finally given her that. Without wanting anything in return he had given her something she had wanted for so long, acceptance and acknowledgement of her existence instead of the usual distain she regularly receive from her peers and fellow Saiyan. "You know, I think this is the start of a "SUPER" friendship Jewel." Broly amusingly said with a warm smile. "HA-HA-HA...I...I think you may be right Broly!" replied Jewel with a laugh. "Of course I am Jewel! Stick with me girl and I''ll show you the wonders of the universe!" Broly said confidently. "Pfft-HA-HA-HA-HA, what do you know about the wonders of the universe Broly?" Jewel exclaimed in humorous disbelief. "More than you could possibly imagine Jewel, more than anyone in this universe could possibly imagine, but I promise you Jewel, in time you too will see, if you decide to stick with me for the long haul." Broly said his brilliant eyes momentarily radiating and unfathomably mysterious profundity as myriads of unseen thoughts swam within their ageless depths. "Really...w-w-well I''ll hold you to that promise then Broly." Jewel tentatively said while lowering her face embarrassingly, her checks suddenly gaining a reddish tinge as she timidly played with her fingers. "Be assured girl, I make it a habit not to disappoint, especially when I am dealing with an intelligent, beautiful young lady such as yourself." Broly confidently declared with a good natured roguish wink. "Oh Really...hmm, well aren''t we a match made in heaven, a girl who looks older then she is and a boy who acts older than he really is." Jewel teasingly responded. "Indeed, perhaps despite its fickle nature fate did take some part in are fortuitous meeting for it would seem we truly are a destined duo. And as such a fated union would seem to be the predestined course of our wondrous new relationship I would be remiss of my true nature if I didn''t immediately insist that you impart to me what is causing your heart such agonizing turmoil. And don''t bother trying to denying it Jewel, my eyes are quite perceptive and have already beheld everything imaginable so please feel free to lay your troubles down upon me and share your "emotional burden" so to speak. However, I realize you may find sharing difficult so let''s start with something recent. Tell me about the "explosion" that got you sent down here in the first place Jewel." Broly asked candidly. "THAT WAS NOT MY...um, I''m mean...what explosion, I...I was sent down here because of a little accident not some "explosion" Broly." Jewel denied falteringly. "Listen Jewel, I was born at night, not last night. I already told you not to treat me like a normal Saiyan Infant. Even though I''m currently stuck in this incubator don''t assume for one bloody second that I can''t see what''s going on around me. I saw that explosion and it was in no ways "little" at all, it took out 3 whole lab blocks and seriously injured 37 other engineers. Now tell me exactly what happened!" Broly ordered firmly with an even authoritative tone. "H-How, right, I almost forget, you''re "awesome"." Jewel stutteringly exclaimed. "Exactly, now talk girl! I assure you this will be very good for you, sharing with someone else are life''s troubles has always been a very therapeutic process, for it has an intrinsic way of clearing the mind and cleansing ones heart of stress and emotional anxiety Jewel. So please Jewel, let me help you carry your hearts burden." implore Broly dependably. "A-Alright...thanks Broly." "I''m here for you Jewel. Whenever you''re ready." 22 Isll always have your back. Taking a deep breath several emotions flashed across her face while her eyes became dark with memories as she recalled the accident that had happened 3 days ago. For almost a year now she had been working on her latest creation, a revolutionary new type of gel which could absorb a massive amount of Ki. This invention would lead to a vast number of even more powerful weapons and conventional device, however the chemicals required in its creation were extremely unstable and highly volatile so she had taken every precaution possible, being very careful with every step of the lengthy procedure she took. Finally 3 days ago she was nearing the critical stage of the gels refinement but had suddenly had the urge to go to the little girls room so she had quickly departed after securely locking her lab and leaving a big sign which blatantly read "DANGER VOLATILE CHEMICALS WITHIN - DO NOT ENTER" however at the moment she had just sat down she suddenly heard a thunderous explosion. It seemed that a group of her fellow mentally inferior peers (both Saiyans and aliens) who had a notorious reputation for being troublesome had become curious about what she was being so secretive of and had been watching her lab very closely for the past few day for a chance to enter her lab. So when she left for the little girls room they had seized the chance and tried to enter her lab but their efforts were in vain for she had truly taken every precaution in securing her lab. Incidentally one of the Saiyans smashed his clenched fist against the wall in frustration using all his strength, which unfortunately sent powerful vibrations through the wall and caused a vial of particularly corrosive fluid to fall off the shelf it was on and burst all over several other chemicals causing a chain reaction to rapidly occur that resulted in a massive explosion. The worst part was that although she shouldn''t have been liable at all for this gargantuan incident, the Director of the engineering department had unhesitatingly decided to put the entire blame on her rather small yet shapely shoulders and had completed let off the troublemakers who had caused the explosion in the first place, saying it was her lab so it was her fault. "What a horrible thing to happen, you have every right to be furious Jewel! The nerve of those small minded single celled blood-crazed xenophobic BASTARDS is truly shocking! Still, although I truly sympathize with you Jewel and would very much like to jump out of this incubator and rip those juvenile JACKASSES into tiny pieces, then slowly grind them up into dust under the heel of my tiny boot, I also have to admit I am very thankful to those accursed troublemakers and feel that despite your anger you should also be thankful too." "WHAT! Why Broly? Why should I be grateful to those dimwitted bigoted blockheaded BASTARDS who ruined my hard work and made me look like an incompetent troublemaking engineer in front of the entire engineering department, WHY, WHY, WHY!!!" Jewel exclaimed angrily, pressing her face harder into the Incubators glass with every exclamation of "WHY" she said. Breathing deeply, a few bubbles floated out of Brolys nose before he calmly replied, a look of enlightened mirth in his enigmatic emerald eyes. "Well, if they didn''t cause that explosion then you would have never been sent down here in the first place and we would have never met. So although they truly are a bunch of bastards who I will never ever forgive for causing such a gorgeous gentle genius girl like you trouble, I also have to feel a deep sense of gratitude for the long-term consequences of their foolhardy actions for they inadvertently sent me a priceless treasure." Hearing his reason a deep crimson hue of embarrassment suddenly appeared on her face as though she had become a ripe tomato causing her to instantly jump back as she pointed at him shakily, stuttering incomprehensibly "you...I...how" before swiftly turning her back to him as she desperately tried to hide her blazing face and the myriad of euphoric thoughts and emotions raging thru her eyes, head and heart from him. However in her emotion fueled rush to hide from him she inadvertently overlooked how honest her tail was for it was shaking back in forth ecstatically, declaring her incomparable joy for all to see. As her racing heart finally began to slow several seconds later a spark of insight suddenly appeared in her mind as she realized the truth of his words. If the explosion hadn''t happened she would still be in her lab working on her invention and still be alone and would not have met Broly, this awesome insightful embarrassing silver-tongued young Saiyan infant who she realized had strangely suddenly become so important to her despite only just meeting him a few hours ago. Gathering what little courage she could muster she suppressed her embarrassment as she slowly turned towards him, her face still tinged slightly crimson. "Your right Broly, thanks to those bastards I did managed to meet you so I guess I should be grateful for the trouble they caused but I still really, really, really, HATE THEM!" "HA-HA, that''s fine and completely normal to feel like that Jewel." replied Broly with a laugh. Jumping into the air she did a few sideways spins before softly landing her body straight like a cross then stretching her arms even wider she let out a cry of happiness. "AHH I feel sooo much better now. It like a big weight has suddenly been removed from my chest. Now I feel as free and light as a cloud. I guess you were right Broly, talking really did make me feel better." Flashing her a winsome grin he humorously spoke. "I knew it would! Feel free to talk to me anytime about anything that is bothering you for even the most trivial thing Jewel, even if I''m training I''ll definitely make time for you. And....I want you to know that I hope, with time, you will realize you can depend on me for anything Jewel, I''ll always have your back. I swear this with my heart!" Clenching his right fist firmly, he brought it swiftly inwards, his inner arm parallel to the ground and beat it firmly against his chest, directly above his heart, a solemn expression on his face as he made his oath, his eyes glinting with his iron resolve. "WHAAA....W-W-What are you swearing you IDIOT! You have to stop saying such embarrassing stuff Broly!" Jewel stutteringly exclaimed. "It''s not embarrassing at all, I''m serious Jewel, you can depend on me for anything!" Broly said assertively with a authoritative tone. "W-W-W-WHAT DID I JUST SAY IDIOT! Stop saying such embarrassing stuff Broly....my heart can take much more sweetness."exclaimed Jewel, her voice tapering off into a barely audible whisper by the time she was halfway thru her sentence. 23 Surveillance Devices Noticing how red her face had become, Broly realized he may have said too much too soon and decided to take pity on Jewel so he rapidly changed the subject with another question. "So Jewel, you''re a "SUPER" engineer right, so that means your good at making devices right? That scouter your wearing looks very different from the standard issue ones , did you perhaps make it?" It took several minutes for Jewel to finally answer him for she was still lost amidst the clouds, afloat in her own personal pink colored world, her eyes closed tightly, with her graceful hands holding her lovely crimson tinged ivory face as she moved her head side to side while her body also wiggled back and forth and her tail wagged happily, muttering blissfully to herself for a few seconds more before she finally emerged from her imaginations pink realm of romance. "Oh...Aw...YES, yes I did. Do you like it? This is SUPER engineer Jewels special, super, ultra, extreme scouter which I made from various spare parts I rescued from the junkyard before they were recycled. But even though its built from spare parts its way better than any other out there and its has a ton of cool features. Besides the usually communication package and Power Level analyzer it also has a x1,000 Image Magnification, Atomic Analyzer, Data Collection, Comparison and Innovation Generator, Infrared, Night-Vision, Vector Analyzer and it can also wirelessly link to an arm cannon enabling pinpoint accuracy up to 2.5 miles." "Wow, what and amazing device Jewel, you truly are a "SUPER" genius engineer, building your own custom scouter at such an early age, simply astonishing Jewel." Broly lavishly complemented before asking after a short pause for effect, "Still one question does elude me so pardon me asking Jewel but since you personally built such a brilliant device, are you absolutely sure it has no surveillance devices within whatsoever?" "Curious you should mention that because the original parts did in fact have some rather strange chips installed that could have been used for surveillance but I stripped them out because they were a waste of space however I must say I''m quite surprised by your incisive query Broly, why perchance do you ask?" asked Jewel a look of insatiable curiosity within both of her big sparkling eyes. "Well before I say anything more, I''m sure such a "SUPER" engineer like yourself has several ways to check for any sort of surveillance devices so could you be a dear and thoroughly scan the entire room as well as every device in here for them as well?" politely asked Broly. "No problem Broly, for me this is something "SUPER" easy." she said smugly as she reached into her lab coat withdrawing three metallic marbles which she tossed into the air were they suddenly lit up and began to fly around the room emitting several wide luminous beams of reddish light as they rapidly began to scan the entire room while Jewel skillfully controlled them from her computer gauntlet, her supple fingers skillfully tapping away at a holographic keyboard as her eyes darted quickly to and fro as she focused on multiple holographic screens simultaneously. Several minutes later with a triumphant "beep" as she made her final keystroke she raised her hands as the three metallic marbles gracefully landed in the palm of her hand with a gentle twirl whereupon they became inert as she casually put them away within her black lab coat before she turned towards Broly flashing him a mischievous wink and raising her finger to her lips making a barely audible shushing sound before she reached within her lab coat once more withdrawing another wondrous device which appeared as a thin silver rectangular remote-like tool with several barely protruding circular buttons on it. Walking towards a certain corner of the room she swiftly pointed the silver device towards a ensconcedlight fixture then pressed a button causing a thin silvery wave of energy to be emitted which she slowly drew across the light fixture until upon reaching the middle were the wave of energy changed color turning green. Pressing another button the wave of energy changed color once more turning red before she pressed one final button causing a small electric "fizzle" to ring out followed by several quickly "POP" "POP" to ring out signally the end of whatever surveillance device had been secretly installed within. Following this Jewel repeated this debugging process another 16 times on several other fixtures, a few control panels, 6 incubators and even a few chairs folded in the very back. After finishing she quickly returned with a smile upon her face. "Well I believe I got all of them. Fortunately these appear to be recorder models which store data then transmit once their storage is full so I managed to destroy them before our earlier conversation was transmitted. I also set up a dummy device which will transmit only silence and a few occasional sounds so they won''t know I''ve already destroyed all of their little toys." "HA-HA, excellent work Jewel, simply incredible! You have truly gone above and beyond what I expected. Now with the surveillance devices gone this has become they safest place on the entire planet to talk freely. I would like to suggest Jewel that you get your things from your room and move down here with me. If anybody asks why (although I honestly doubt they will) simply tell them it''s because you don''t see the point in making such a long trip everyday so you might as well just stay down here all the time." 24 Roomies! "You want me to move down here and live with you? Wow, I''ve never had a roommate before, especially a boy roommate and it''s not like anyone will care whether I''m living here or up their...OK! That sounds like a great idea Broly, but why do you want me to move down here with you? Are you perhaps lonely Broly all by yourself down here in this dark gloomy room?" "Maybe I am Jewel, but that is not my main reason for asking you to move down here. Now off you go my lovely Jewel, go and fetch your stuff and make the necessary arrangements then return and will talk some more. Now go." "Wh-Wh-Who are you calling "your" Jewel IDIOT!!!" she screamed embarrassingly, her face once again tinged a crimson hue before she rapidly ran off, slamming the door behind her as she raced down the corridor towards the lifts unaware that he could still see her face which now had a euphoric smile upon it while her mouth continued to wordless repeat the same sentence over and over beneath her breath. "His lovely Jewel...His lovely Jewel...His..." Shaking his head side to side deprecatingly with a sigh Broly thought to himself. "She still quite an emotionally naive young girl. Girls like that you have to take every opportunity to make advances otherwise you''ll never make any progress with your relationship. But still what a peerless young lady, why I wouldn''t be able to call myself a man if I didn''t fully strive to make her join my family and be all mine. The rest of these Saiyans are morons for not realizing the priceless treasure which has been in their midst this entire time, but fortunately for me their lose is my fortuitous gain and now that I''ve met her I will never let her go. Now with a little more than a year and a half till Planet Vegeta''s Doomsday I must take every precaution to avoid any unnecessary changes to my precious Jewel and to fully reinforce my place in her heart. But she''s such a nice girl, who despite being so smart still has those inescapably pesky desires to be wanted by everyone so I thinks its best I not tell her about the planets destruction till the last few moment when I can muster up some proof for I know despite my warnings she would probably still try to futilely warn everyone which could cause unforeseen changes to the future events that I know." With his eyes closed, he smoothly brought his hands back to together and continued to mediate while once again extending his Ki Sense field as he focused on Jewel, watching her progress like a parent bird watching its young from on high. Despite a number of clumsy incidents caused by her rushing to collect a variety of things from her house (which was surprisingly extremely messy with various machine parts and clothes strewn everywhere, multiple devices half-disassembled, and a mountain of dirty dishes overflowing from the overfilled sink in her kitchen) she remained unharmed and whole as she quickly tossed several handfuls of metallic marble drones into the air employing them as her labor force as they efficiently swooped down upon various items and furniture as directed by Jewel before effortlessly hoisting them into the air whereupon they formed an orderly line and followed her out of the house as she quickly raced back towards the lifts and Broly. Seeing she was okay and was headed back Broly maintained a cursory focus on her while he returned to his meditative training, smoothly driving his secret breathing technique as he slowly drove his Ki along the heavenly circuit within himself. Roughly and hour later after another small humorous event with the lifts Jewel returned triumphantly leading her long robotic drone caravan of household goods into room 998 and promptly like a general began issuing orders to them to begin depositing her furniture and other possessions in specific places along the wall. Fortunately the chamber amply large enough for her to move in having a open free space along the wall right in front of Brolys incubator just big enough for her to put all of her things and still have plenty of elbow room to move around with ease. As soon as she finished organizing the last of her things she quickly grabbed a chair and brought it next to Broly''s incubator where she promptly plopped herself down with an excited air about her, her eyes glinting with anticipation for her future cohabitation alone with Broly although in truth they were not really alone for there was also five rows of ten evenly spaced incubators housing forty-nine other Saiyan newborns asleep in their incubators also in the room with them but Jewel choose to overlook this minor detail for already Broly was the only one of any interest to her now with him being oddly awake and exceedingly mature and intelligent for an infant causing her to not only deeply admire and respect him far more than one should with how briefly they had known each other but to even elevate him to the level of her beloved parents in her heart, for she now truly considered only he was on a even higher mental and emotional level then her and was the only possible candidate she would ever consider as a viable roommate. Flashing him a warm grin Jewel happily said, "Well I''m all done unpacking new roomie!" "That great, "SUPER" new roomie!" Broly said cheerfully returning her grin. Staring at each other with excitement and mirth filling their eyes, together they both suddenly began laughing happily filled with various feelings of excitement and anticipation for what the future would hold for the both of them. 25 Sincere Oath Authors Note: Seasons Greeting to all! A lots happened to me over the past few months which is why I haven''t written in a while. To sum the series of tragic events, parents died, car accident with a drunk driver actually named GARY (the curse continues) a few days after funeral, both arms end up in casts, in-laws fighting over parents will, etc... Basically I have been under a lot of stress and haven''t had any time to commit to the writing in quite a while. Still last week my casts came off while yesterday I finally had some breathing room and suddenly felt the urge to write so as my present to you I will be posting the few chapters I have written since yesterday, sorry if they''re a little grammatically rough. Hopefully by the new year I will be able to free up enough time to post regularly every day. ... After spending some time to together chatting amiably about some basic daily things he would have to know when he came out, Broly suddenly asked something which he had been mulling over in the back of his head for a while now. "Jewel, I noticed your home was somewhat messy, which to be honest for a girl, even a Saiyan girl is quite unusual. And it made me recall what the Chief engineer said to you earlier in the hallway, about your parents. If it not to painful, would it be too much asking what happened to your parents?" "My parents are both dead." Noticing the look of concern which suddenly appeared on his face Jewel smiled warmly as she said. "Oh it alright Broly, it''s not a secret or anything since everyone knows about my parents." Her face then grew dark as her eyes flashed with ominous unseen emotions before she continued speaking in a grave tone tinged with immeasurable sorrow and rage. "It''s only been a little more than 2 years since they died and to this day I still can''t accept how ironic their death is, for them to both go in such a senseless manner, after everything they''d been thru, what with them both surviving all of the horrors of the Tuffles war only to be killed on a priority mission by friendly forces. Can you believe it, they were both super engineers and veteran mid-class Saiyan warriors but one priority mission off-world and they are both killed not in battle, nor protecting something vital but by a stray attack made by Ginyu Force. FUCKING GINYU FORCE!!! Their supposed to be are allies yet they always treat us as disposable pawns. I will never forgive those traitorous backstabbing bastards, NEVER!!!" Shouting out the final "NEVER" with gritted teeth, she suddenly buckled at the knees collapsing upon the ground in tears as she cried with a low heart wrenching moan of pure sorrow for the parents she had lost at an early age. Seeing her cry evocated sadness within himself as he silently winced in pain, his heart suddenly resonating with Jewel and the her overwhelming feelings of lose. "Jewel, I''m so sorry, I...I shouldn''t have asked you to tell me about them...it...it was wrong of me too." Raising her tear streaked face a smile appeared as she heard his comforting words. "No, its fine Broly...I... I wanted you to know, about them and how I truly feel. Besides, like I said there death is not a secret." Yet despite her denial of his self-incrimination and heartfelt words of sincerity he only felt a stronger urge to share his vehement feelings with her. "You don''t understand Jewel, seeing you cry, feeling the sorrow within your words as you spoke about them and now knowing the consequences of my thoughtless question, that it inadvertently caused you pain by making you remember something awful, causes the beating heart within my chest to hurt so much. Now I''m certain, I don''t ever want to see you cry again Jewel. I promise you Jewel, I''m never going to let you have a reason to cry again, no one or thing will ever cause you sorrow. NOT EVER!!!" Hearing his sincere oath of eternal protection while seeing is eyes suddenly blaze with brilliant green flames of ardor as he said "NOT EVER!" caused a warm wondrous sensation to suddenly fill her heart as she smiled with elation until her deeply rooted doubts continuously eroded this feeling until finally her smile suddenly began slacken somewhat as her doubts outweighed this warm feeling and caused her to hesitatingly asked, "You can''t be serious Broly?" Looking directly into the depths of her lovely eyes he solemnly spoke with a voice resplendent with a manly aura of absolutes as he stated what was in his opinion an absolute fact and not negotiable whatsoever. "I''ve never been more serious, for not even death can keep me from keeping this promise to you Jewel. I promise you Jewel, not even death!" Hearing the finality of his tone caused a roaring sun of pure joy to suddenly burst into existence within her heart, its blazing rays instantly filling every inch of her heart before quickly overflowing filling every part of her body with a torrent of incomparably warm joy causing her to suddenly begin crying once again. See her start to cry again Broly wore a look part grimace, part uncertainty as he quickly said, "Please don''t cry Jewel Didn''t I just say you won''t have to ever cry again so long as I am her to support you so why are you crying again Jewel?" Hearing his heartfelt words filled with pure feelings of concern and compassion Jewel smiled despite the two rivers which continued to flow down both sides of her lovely face and said joyfully, "It OK Broly, these are tears of happiness not sorrow, so it''s perfectly OK!" For several more minutes Jewel continued to cry, letting her tears flow unceasingly without restriction for this was a spiritually cleansing process and the more she cried the freer she felt of her troubles. The dark emotions and doubt which had plagued her for the past few years having been fully dredged up by their conversation were now slowly yet inexorably being washed away by her purifying tears of joy. Like an evening after a long hot day of hard work the feeling of the filth of her heart and soul was completely expunged by the cleansing rain of her bittersweet tears was indescribably wonderful. Eventually she finished crying and excused herself saying she was going to go wash her face then head towards the mess hall to get something to eat. But who could believe Broly would hear about Frieza''s personal elite squadron Ginyu Force so soon. Originally Broly was planning on laying low and letting events play out the same as he remembered but now it seemed he would have to step in and deal with these evil alien bastards personally since it appears they had inadvertently indirectly caused his precious Jewel so much pain and sorrow resulting in a lasting mental trauma which could only be cured by their painful demise. "How dare these filthy aliens cause such a beautiful kind girl like Jewel to cry, unforgivable!" He thought mercilessly. " For the sin of making my precious Jewel cry there can be only one judgment, DEATH!!!I promise I will make their death wails echo throughout the universe!" 26 Friezas Fear "Listen Jewel, I promise I''ll help you deal with Ginyu Force, for it seems we won''t be working for Frieza much longer since it is now quite clear that he doesn''t trust us at all, what with him putting surveillance devices in every piece of hardware he gives us." Hearing his promise of aid filled Jewel with another burst of warmth, but as she started to smile hearing him continue to name the origin of the surveillance devices she had discovered caused it to morph into a blank expression, her eyes widening in disbelief. "What, you mean all of those surveillance devices I removed were from Frieza, but why, why would he do that Broly?" Wearing a solemn expression, Broly paused momentarily before continuing to explain the hidden truth behind Frieza''s treacherous actions. "Because Frieza has since childhood heard stories about are powerful ancestors, the Legendary Super Saiyans who possess immense power far greater than his own which has caused him to fear for his own life. And now as he watches us slowly getting stronger despite are population remaining low he has begun to worry about the future and the possibility of another Super Saiyan being born who could threaten his existence. So in his paranoia he has ordered surveillance devices to be installed within all devices given to us Saiyans so that he can constantly monitor us and to constantly search for the appearance of any so-called Super Saiyans." Learning of the treacherous true nature of Frieza seemed to only fuel Jewels hatred of him and his forces for an angry grimace appeared on her face as she clenched her dainty hands tightly in angry before with a shout she smashed he right fist into a nearby stone wall creating a small crater around her fist surrounded by a radiating web of cracks. "DAMN HIM! We should have known that Frieza would act this way, what a coldhearted devil! It''s been seven years since he annexed our race, reducing us to his personal intergalactic mercenaries and even though we have sacrificed untold numbers of are brethren, conquering thousands of planets and aliens races for him he still doesn''t trust us after everything we''ve done, after everything we''ve sacrificed for him! what a merciless fiend and all because he fears the appearance of another Super Saiyan from are legends." Alas how fate makes light the works of mortals, playing with them despite their utmost efforts thought Broly to himself, for he already knew what fate the future held in store for Frieza. Ironically in his paranoia, Frieza''s actions now would lead to his own downfall and the return of the Super Saiyans spoken of in Saiyan legend. Roughly 25 years from now Frieza and Son Goku would meet on Planet Namek and during the ensuing conflict, with the pure rage he feels for the death of his best friend Krillin at Frieza''s hand fueling him Son Goku will miraculously make the breakthrough to Super Saiyan. This will lead to the defeat of Frieza and with it the end of an era of oppression and the rise of a new legend. Seeing Jewels face fill with a myriad of emotions while her shoulders began to sink as she realized the gravity of the situation and the bleakness of the Saiyan''s future Broly sighed heavily before saying, "Jewel, in truth despite how horrible the situation may currently seem you have nothing to worry about for you have met me. No matter what terrors we will face in the comings years I will always protect you so you can rest assured that regardless of what the future may hold in store for you, it will not end because of one measly Frieza." Hearing Broly reassure her filled her with immeasurable joy and despite his appearance as that of a mere infant she instinctively felt she was completely safe for she had come to realized after interacting with him for half a day that Broly was no typical Saiyan infant and that his power just like his knowledge was truly unfathomable. However possessing the sensitivity of a child coupled with her racial instincts she realized the sincerity of his words and knew that she had now finally found her rock, who would protect her from whatever the future may hold in store for her. After another hour of meaningless conversation with Broly she suddenly yawned and realized it was time for her to go to sleep. As she drifted off to sleep only a few dozen feet away from Brolys incubator, for the first time in her life since her parents died, she fell asleep on a dry pillow, wearing a smile on her lovely face. 27 DAMN CHARMER!!! The next morning when Jewel awoke she was greeted by a Brolys childish voice as he briefly paused his meditation to wish her a good morning from his incubator before he continued his training. Mumbling a response in reply he watched as Jewel (who apparently wasn''t a morning person) sluggishly left the room and headed across the corridor to a nearby restroom, but stop observing at the doorway after making a quick cursory scan of the rooms interior ahead of her, exerting restraint as a gentleman to respect Jewels privacy. Returning to his Ki training, less than a hour passed before Jewel emerged from the restrooms, now fully awake and ready to seize the day. Running up to his incubator, she flashed Broly a winsome grin then gave an enthusiastic greeting before quickly departing as her stomach loudly growled for the mess hall for breakfast. Closing his eyes once more he continued training, diverting a small portion of his awareness to observing Jewels progress while the rest continued to drive his Ki employing the long schools secret breathing technique as he took several slow deep breaths of invigorating azure nutrient solution. Several hours later, after merrily devouring a massive amount of food easily 3 times the size of her entire body''s mass Jewel quickly returned to the incubator room at top speed a look of contented satiety upon her lovely face as she happily raced down the various mazelike corridors, leaving only the enthralling "click" "click" sound of the pointed heels on her dainty booted feet rhythmically colliding with the solid metallic floor in her wake. Upon loudly returning to the incubator room, unleashing a thunderous yet mesmerizing greeting the exact moment she joyously bounded through the door before rapidly dashing towards the quiet corner Brolys incubators was placed, not even pausing to hear his reply. Grabbing a pod-like chair from a nearby desk as she passed it she suddenly leapt into the air flipping over several rows of incubators while positioning herself upon the chairs seat before landing sitting comfortably on the chair a few feet shy of Brolys incubator facing directly towards him with her arms crossed in front bolstering her impressive bosom and her right leg crossed over her left. Flashing Broly a cocky grin, she remained silently smiling apparently awaiting an evaluative response from him for her impressive acrobatic display. Seeing her with his Ki Sense gracefully sitting their exuding the aura of an adorable pet wagging its tail awaiting approval and a reward for successfully completing a trick for its master, Broly desperately once again fought to suppress the sudden intense urge to burst out of his incubator and squeeze her tightly as all people who suffered from an immense attack of pure cuteness would. "Damn she''s cute! I must have done something really good in my last life to meet such a cute girl only 4 months after being born" he thought elatedly. However thanks to his hardened iron will he successfully overcame the urge despite a slight pause, then casually raised his right eyebrow (his eyes remaining firmly closed) before calmly uttering, "Not bad!" Hearing his lukewarm response caused Jewels smile to droop simultaneously as her shoulders did before she suddenly closed her eyes as she clenched her fist, feeling a strange onset of rage from his lacking response. Trembling all over as though she were a rumbling volcano she suddenly leapt to her feet with a shout apparently erupting as she screamed at him angrily, "NOT BAD! NOT BAD, did you even see what I did Broly, what kind of shitty half-hearted response is that!" Taking another slow deep breath Broly paused momentarily, his eyes still closed before calmly replying, "An honest one." Immediately the temperature in the room rose several degrees while a large throbbing vein appeared on Jewels forehead as she clenched her teeth, grinding them angrily as she felt even more fury rapidly growing within her by the second, her thoughts clouded by her childish rage. Infuriating, absolutely infuriating! How could Broly continue to display such an indifferent expression, not even bothering to open his eyes to look at her! Trembling with immeasurable wrath just as she was to unleash hell upon the passive Broly she suddenly heard a torrent of uncontrollable laughter fill the room. Grasping his torso with both arms, large streams of bubbles continuously streamed from his nose and mouth as the sound of his laughter grew louder and louder. "HAHAHA, I..I''m sorry Jewel, y..you just looked so cute I...I couldn''t help myself from t..teasing you a little bit but I n..never expected you to give an even more cute response, seriously you are just too cute Jewel." Instantly all the anger she felt dissipated from her body yet her face surprisingly grew even redder as she embarrassingly stuttered loudly. "BROLY YOU I-I-IDIOT!!! Wh-Wh-Who are you calling C-CUTE! Let me tell you, I''m not some cheap woman you can easily sweep of their feet with a few sweet w-words like c-c-cute, so don''t expect to get out of this that easily y-y-you DAMN CHARMER!!! Unfortunately for Jewel she reflexively retreated as she spoke, jerking back in her embarrassment causing her to clumsily fall directly backwards along with her chair, her trembling right arm still fully extend straight out from her shoulder to the tip of her index finger like a spear from pointing accusingly at Broly now pointed directly towards the ceiling, rigid like the Eiffel Tower. Seeing the humorous figure she now cut another, even stronger wave of laughter erupted from Broly as a thick cloud of bubbles shot out of his mouth like a trains whistle. Her face slack, still in shock from the fall, Jewel remained frozen for several minutes until her mind finally finished processing the strange series of events abruptly clearing to the sound of frothing bubbles and Brolys childish laughter. Although angry at first that Broly was still laughing, as her wandering subconsciousness reflexively imagined her current appearance she suddenly clamped her mouth shut yet failed to stop the mesmerizing girlish giggle which suddenly escaped from her dainty lips. What followed was a pair of jokesters whose endless laughter seemed to resonate with each other''s souls as they connected on a deeper level, laughing not at each other but with each other as they reveled in the pure bliss of youthfulness and life. 28 A Solid Foundation Several months passed and despite Jewels many humorous interruptions Broly continued to train his Ki Sense and Ki assiduously creating a firm foundation for his future. In addition to training his Ki Sense he had taken an interest in observing the lessons taught to the handpicked Saiyan infants with high potential chosen for special training. Although the majority of what they were taught was completely wrong and wasted the majority of their potential, hindering their bright futures, there was a few things he learned that were quite useful, such as flying, aerial combat tricks, and most importantly racial specific techniques for despite looking like an Earthling (if you ignored his magnificent tail of course) he was in fact a pureblooded Saiyan of the purest bloodline. The most interesting of these few specific techniques was the Power Ball technique. Like all warrior races who belong to a special bloodline, Saiyan are born with their own special trait, namely a brown monkey-like tail which gives them the unique ability to perform The Great Ape Transformation. A Great Ape is essential the royalty of all primates and as such it towers above all other primate species having a monstrous height of more than a 100ft while its body possesses the superior physical characteristics from multiple different primate subspecies. Its face although appearing mostly similar to that of a gorillas possess the maw and frontal features of a mighty baboon with blood red eyes and a mouth lined with razor-sharp teeth. It''s immensely powerful body has a prominent and defined musculature build coupled with a long girthy Saiyan tail and is entirely covered in dark brown and black fur excluding parts of its face, its hands and its prehensile feet which are covered with an opaque leathery black skin. A Great Ape''s power level is equal to the Saiyan''s power level prior to the transformation multiplied by ten and surprisingly despite the massive increase in size the Saiyan remains as fast and agile as they were before the transformation. Despite the limitation of most users losing clarity of thought and going berserk, since most Saiyan use it only as a trump card during combat with a powerful foe they don''t really consider it a weakness at all. In fact, as Saiyans mature, they can potentially be taught how to reign in their berserker instincts and retain normal cognitive functions as Great Apes. In order for the transformation to take place, the Saiyan needs to have an intact tail, as the glands responsible for initiating the transformation are located exclusively there. The Saiyan also needs to absorb at least 17 million zeno units of Blutz Waves through the eyes to initiate the transformation. Unfortunately Blutz Waves are found only in sunlight reflected by a moon. The Power Ball technique is a technique developed and used by Saiyans to create an energy sphere that mimics the presence of a full moon. By combining Ki with the planet''s atmosphere, a sphere of condensed Blutz Waves is created. Using this, a Saiyan can achieve the Great Ape transformation even when a full moon (or similar planetary body) is not present. Attack Pods also come equipped with a device that can project a hologram of a moon that is realistic enough to allow Blutz Waves to be reflected in the event of their landing on a planet that lacks a moon. The highest form of the Great Ape Transformation is known as The Golden Great Ape Transformation but requires a Saiyan to have mastered The Great Ape Transformation and also be able to transform into a Super Saiyan. After observing the Saiyan instructor demonstrate the Power Ball technique to a group of Saiyan youths a single time Broly suddenly felt that he now understood all of the techniques intricacies. Surprisingly he succeeded with his first attempt, perfectly employing the technique as he created a pale, moonlike orb above his right hand, which he quickly crushed anxious that he may inadvertently trigger The Great Ape Transformation. This effortless success lead him to the wondrous discovery that he now possessed one of the most coveted abilities of the Dragon Ball Multiverse, Mimicry, which is the miraculous ability to copy another fighter''s technique after seeing it used only once. Flying also came easily to him, as he effortlessly moved himself slowly around the inside of his incubator by will alone, his precise Ki Control causing him to barely exert any Ki at all, remaining in a lotus stance as he slowly spun himself around in every direction. After several hours of playfully zigzagging in every direction possible Broly figured he had successfully learned to fly. Further mastery would have to wait for a future point in time after he finally left his incubator for good. After spending 9 entire months within the latest incubator while continuously training his Ki his infant body had already started its qualitative metamorphosis from that of a newborn infant into that of a young child with some musculature definition. The incubators exterior physique augmentative environment coupled with his interior promotive Ki training had created a perfectly balanced synergistic effect upon his entire body inside and out, continuously strengthening him all the way down to his cells at a measured pace, with each breath he took he could feel himself growing inexorably stronger in every way possible. Now having finished laying his solid foundation his great future was even more likely to be greater thanks to his diligence, knowledge, and unlimited resources he was already off with an excellent start, and was completely sure he would greatly surpass his martial peers. Having learned several new techniques it was now time to begin mastering one of his most important innate techniques, Powered Shell. Originally Powered Shell was the first technique ever used by Broly, who had employed it instinctively while and infant as Planet Vegeta was destroyed around him, so by that fact alone he felt confident he would be able to learn the unique Ki Barrier technique with great ease. Alas it wasn''t as easily acquired as he thought for he had forgotten to take into consideration the immense amount of pressure Broly had been in with death all around him, his little heart racing as he desperately sought a way to survive forcing all of his potential to suddenly awaken this unique technique to save himself. However in the end thru sheer diligence he still managed to learn it, for after several days of tireless practice and experimentation a small translucent sphere of greenish energy barely large enough to contained his entire body flickered into existence around him, quivering a few times before fully solidifying. In the weeks that followed this resounding success his continued experimentation coupled with his unique creativity allowed him to further improve the technique to the level where he could not only create multiple Powered Shells simultaneously but could even use Powered Shell independent from his body, enabling him to encapsulate other things around him within a certain albeit limited range. Unfortunately one of the limitations of this technique was the requirement that the item or person would have to be fully encapsulate otherwise whatever was not within the sphere would be severed when the walls of the sphere were formed, a fact he surprisingly learned when he was practicing with a chair next to his incubator, the incident leaving half a chair with a smooth spherical cut separating the back from the seat looking as though someone had used a massive razor sharp ice cream scoop on it. 29 Jewels Keepsake More time quickly passed and soon he found the end of the year quickly approaching as he entered the last month of age 737. Each day now passed routinely and like most people he soon fell into an enjoyable rhythm with morning greetings then training, engaging conversations with Jewel, then more training followed by dealing with whatever typical humorous events Jewels continuous experimentation would reliably create followed by briefly scolding her then comforting her and more training late into the night. One morning Jewel returned from the bathroom her usually buoyant self wearing her usually enticing outfit but with one minor addition whose sudden appearance Brolys keen eyes didn''t fail to notice around her graceful ivory neck, a dark metallic decagon pendant 3mm thick, precisely engraved in gold with a roaring Great Ape''s face. The Great Ape''s eyes were inset with two dark jewels which seemed dull and lifeless. However while at first it appeared a simple creation, Brolys keen eye''s skilled at appraisal quickly realized that its unique design eluded to its rarity and that it was in fact a priceless masterpiece, clearly the brilliant work of a master craftsman who had for some unknown reason chosen to cleverly disguised it as a simple pendant of little or no value. His curiosity piqued, he warmly inquired, " This is a first, I''ve never seen you wear jewelry before. But I must admit, that is a rather fetching pendant Jewel. Does it perhaps have some special meaning to you?" "This...this is the last keepsake I have from my parents. The last time I saw them, just before they went on that fatal last mission my parents gave it to me and said that if I something happened while they were gone and I found myself in trouble it could guide me to a safe place." "A safe place?" "Yep, that exactly what they said Broly, a safe place?" "Huh... it seems your parents left you with a rather cryptic message. I''m starting to sense that their death may have not been so simple as friendly fire during a dangerous mission. Now that I think about it, as veteran mid-class Saiyan warriors and renowned super engineers they would have definitely been exempted from the mandatory 1 mission every year and would have been left to their own devices instead of being sent off on dangerous missions which could get them killed. Tell me Jewel, how often did your parents go off-world on missions?" Broly questioned sharply. "Well, while I was in my incubator I recall them being gone for long periods of time however on the year I came out they stopped leaving and never left afterwards. In fact the messenger who delivered the dispatch orders said it was a special mission directly from King Vegeta which they were ordered to comply with immediately." Jewel explained pensively "Hmm...The more I hear the more I realized how much more is hidden, yet I can sense that the answers to all of our questions and the mystery behind your parents last words lie within that pendant they left you with. This fact alone compels me to ask, why did you in fact decide to suddenly begin wearing it now of all times Jewel?" Broly asked inquiringly. Taking a deep breath Jewel gathered her thoughts, countless feelings running thru her before she slowly started to explain. "When I first learned my parents had died Broly, I was completely devastated. It was so bad, that in order to cope with the pain I eventually placed everything related to them away in storage, but now I realize I was just running away from the problem. Lately however, with all the time we''ve spent together, sharing with one another as a real family would, I''ve begun to think about them more and more. Yesterday, while I was going thru one of my piles of stuff in storage I found it tucked away, safely inside the container along with the rest of the stuff that was related to them that I had hid away. Seeing it again, I instantly remembered that final moment with my parents and found that although I still felt pain there was now something else that I felt when I looked at it, Love. I had been so focused on the sudden loss and the pain that it brought me that I had forgotten all the love they had had for me. Yet despite running away from the pain these last few years have only gotten worse with everyone else rejecting me, the pain only continued to grow while my true self continued to sink deeper into the darkest. But just when I thought all was lost and that this was my fate I found you Broly. In the depths of that darkness like a blazing beacon you were the only one who cared enough to pursue me. Without fear or hatred you blazed even brighter, extending your light to drive away the shadows that had haunted me for too long and showed me that I truly mattered. Thanks to you Broly the chains I''ve felt restricting me for so long are now broken. I don''t know what would have happened if I had never met you Broly but I do know that you saved me and now continue to give me the courage I need to finally face my painful past instead of running from it. So, when I saw the pendant I figured wearing it again, the last thing they ever gave me would be a good start." Jewel elegantly finished, raising her head she faced towards Broly wearing a radiant smile upon her lovely face, however the smile soon was replaced by a blank look as her eyes landed on Brolys face and discovered him wearing an unfamiliar expression. With his faced scrunched up and great big pearl shaped tears streaming from both of his half-closed watery eyes anyone could tell that Broly was crying having been deeply touched by Jewels words, her explanation having reached all the way past his heart, directly to his soul. In a loud booming voice Broly suddenly tearfully exclaimed, "AH...WAAA...BOO-HOO-HOO What a heartwarming narrative Jewel. My..My gorgeous treasure has been thru so...SO MUCH! I''m so proud of you my LOVELY JEWEL!!!" This unbecoming yet heartwarming display of affection lasted for several hours during which Broly continued to verbally applaud Jewels character causing her and increasing amount of embarrassment, her face grow redder with each additional adulation before Broly finally managed to stop, having released all of the pent-up emotions he had felt from Jewels earnest explanation. 30 The Last Day of Age 737 On Planet Vegeta Several weeks later, on the last day of age 737 he happily celebrated with Jewel her birthday, which is surprisingly today the same as Son Goku on the last date of the year, who with his Ki Sense he can see at this very moment is peacefully asleep, floating in his incubator at his home, his mother Gine in the kitchen preparing a huge meal for her family while outside he can see Bardock who is here on a break from his latest mission talking to his oldest son Raditz about how to put power into a fist before they suddenly jump apart, then Bardock makes a beckoning gesture wearing an excited smile while Kid Raditz also with an excited smile burst forward towards his father unleashing a series of punches and kicks. Turning his attention to another area he focuses on a private training chamber where a young Kid Vegeta wearing his typical cocky scowl upon his face furiously battles against 5 Saibamen, madly engaging in a mixture of close quarters melee combat with several energy blasts and energy bullets interspaced in-between. Outside the training chambers with his arms crossed wearing a solemn expression on his face as he closely observes his training progress is Nappa who occasional compliments Kid Vegeta before giving a few pointers on how to more efficiently kill his opponents. Then focusing behind the Palace at a private launch pad he can see a grim looking King Vegeta talking to his youngest son Tarble who is only a few years old clad in a typical Saiyan blue skintight combat jumpsuit and body armor, lecturing him for several minutes about how he is far too weak for a Saiyan prince, lacking even the most basic amount of fighting talent making him the greatest disgrace of the Saiyan Royal family, then he emotionlessly orders him off the world for an indefinite period of time before mercilessly kicking him into an awaiting open attack pod followed by a dismissive gesture which causes the attack pods door to harshly close with an ominous "THUNK"upon which the attack pod automatically begins to hum for several seconds before rapidly blasting off into space shrouded in a white aura already preprogrammed for a remote world personally selected by King Vegeta himself. As King Vegeta turns back towards the palace wearing a solemn expression on his face Broly manages to hear him barely mutter beneath his breath "be safe my son" as he grimly marched onward, his shoulders slightly lowering briefly before rising again as though he had once again shouldered a heavy burden he was quite familiar with before becoming accustomed to its weight once again, the weight of a ruler. Opening his eyes a myriad of thoughts flashed like bolts of green lightning within the peerless emerald orbs then with a blink return to their normal passive state as he turned and faced towards a mountain of food with a pair of small shapely white thigh-high boot tightly clad legs visible beneath it slowly approaching him causing a look of disbelief to appear on his face, his mouth going slack as his jaw dropped while he suddenly wondered in disbelief how she had managed to get thru the door without dropping anything. With a crashing "BOOM" Jewel dropped the giant tray holding the mountain of various dishes upon a large metallic workbench which despite their harsh handling remained intact and whole. With practiced ease Jewel quickly disassembled the mountain spreading various dishes across a large table she had set up the previous day in front of his incubator. Looking at the various delectable dishes Broly suppressed his urge to drool for he could already taste them with his powerful imagination alone. Rushing back out the door she soon returned dragging a large metal keg-like barrel twice her height with a flashy label which read in bright bold letters "NEW 7 Flavor Space Soda - Every Sip is a Different Flavor" which apparently was quite heavy for the metallic bottom was making sparks as it scraped against the smooth dark silvery metal floor. With a "HAAA" followed by another "BOOM" she dropped the massive keg next to the table before dusting her hands off on each other. Going towards another workbench covered with various devices in different stages of completion she was working on she dug around for a bit before she cried out joyfully "Found It" then quickly bounded like a jackrabbit back to the Soda Keg holding a long silvery metallic hose several feet long with a spigot on one end and a complex connector on the other end. With a single jump she effortless leaped onto the top of the Keg and quickly with a hiss skillfully worked the complex connector attaching it to the connection on the top of the Soda keg before with a back flip leap of the Keg landing smoothly on her two feet fully upright. Grasping the other end of the hose with the squeeze spigot a large metallic tankard appeared in her other hand as she gave the spigot a few squeezes cause a constantly color changing bubbling fluid to squirt out several times before she felt it was satisfactory then proceeded to fill the metal tankard to the brim. Slapping the hissing and bubbling metal tankard on the table haphazardly she sat down next to it as she gazed at the numerous tasty dishes before reaching into her lab coat and withdrawing a silvery metallic baton 6 inches long. Pressing a button on the side the baton grew thinner as the end quickly morphed one after the other into several different utensils before finally stopping in the shaped of a large silvery spork. 31 Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!!! However just as she was about to dig in she suddenly heard the sound of Broly clearing his throat in her ear with a soft yet authoritatively thunderous cough "A-Hum" which caused her to suddenly freeze as an instinctive chill ran down here spine while her eyes slowly drifted towards Broly across the table peacefully floating inside his luminous incubator in a lotus stance yet unconsciously remained downcast as she had sensed from the tone of his previous interruptive cough that she had down something grievously wrong. Seeing jewel display a demure manner caused Broly to feel slightly sheepish for it had not been his intention when he interrupted her to diminish her confidence but had been intended as a light chastising reminder to observe the bare minimum of table manners of saying a small prayer of thanks for the bounty before them before she began to ferociously devour the large field of food before them in the traditional Saiyan manner. Still despite his unintended blunder he maintained his solemn facade as he slowly spoke in an even tone saying, "Dearest Jewel, how about we say a simple prayer of thanks for the bounteous feast before us and for all that we are thankful for having on this last day of the year." Still with her eyes lowered Jewel slowly raised her head a reddish hue of awkwardness dyeing her two lovely checks as she flashed him a wide grin while cutely tapping her right fist against the side of her head with a cute "PON" before saying, "Ah...sorry Broly I completely forgot, tee-hee!" Despite maintaining his solemn facade as he heard Jewel go "tee-hee" any and all feelings of regret instantly dissipated as a vein in his forehead began to throb menacingly while his voice although still even was suddenly tinge with an air of exasperation for her lackadaisical response and attitude as he quickly responded "Don''t tee-hee me Jewel, you may be SUPER cute but don''t think you can cutely tee-hee yourself out of this for no matter how immensely SUPER cute you are, no matter how much your adorably SUPER cute dimples cause my hands to itch to pinch them and not matter how much your insanely SUPER cute smile causes my heart to throb with the urge to squeeze you tightly within my embrace, I will never, I mean never ever ever, let you get away with not using the bare minimum of table manners befitting that of a young lady, for it is my duty as one who deeply cares for your to hold you to a certain standard, which will elevate you above the base mannerless masses of the universe, for you Jewel are not merely a SUPER rare SUPER cute creature distilled from the purest essences of cuteness, but a SUPER cute noble young Saiyan lady and will display the proper decorum of one whenever possible, understand Jewel...Jewel?" Studying Jewel closely Broly suddenly realized for some unknown reason during his informative soliloquy she had unbeknownst to him inadvertently gone stiff like a statue on her chair. But after listening closely for signs of life he discovered she was still alive and breathing, just very slowly and deeply as she muttered repetitively something barely audible over and over again beneath her breath. "...ute...super cut....again he called me super cu....super cut...he called me, ME super...." Realizing she was apparently stuck in some sort of existential verbal fixation loop concerning the excessive usage of the words "cute" and "her" in the same sentence repetitively he was completely dumbfounded into utter disbelief as he shockingly thought, "Oh no, I think I broke her!" Immediately he began to call out to her hoping to jar her out of her debilitating psychological fixation, "Hey Jewel,...Jewel....JEWEL!!!" As he projected his voice directly into her ear, shouted her name with a thunderous roar she seemed to suddenly snapped out of her personal diatribe as she unexpectedly jumped to her feet, her eyes still tightly clenched shut while her arms began waving like two windmills and abruptly began shouting embarrassingly over and over, "IDIOT BROLY, MORON BROLY, STUPID BROLY, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID !!!" While simultaneously grabbing the nearest random huge platter of food and tossing it at him each time she said "stupid". Instantly he smoothly extended his right hand and began creating several Powered Shell green spheres, completely encapsulating each and every massive dish sent hurtling towards him then skillfully rotated the green energy spheres causing the dishes to be upright before gently moving them back over the table followed by making a dismissing twitch of a finger as he effortlessly dispersed each Powered Shell, deftly returning every huge platter to its original place. After several rounds of Jewel mindlessly tossing huge platters of food in a simplistic attempt to cope with the overload of unfamiliar girlish emotions she was suddenly experiencing for the first time in her life while Broly silently yet skillfully continued to catch and release as he continued to perfectly deal with every dish sent his way, preserving its original state as he returned it to its original place Jewel finally began to calm down throwing fewer and fewer dishes until she finally stopped altogether, collapsing back into her chair completely exhausted while breathing heavily. Relieved that Jewel had finally calmed down, Broly remained still and silent exuding a tranquil air as he patiently waited for Jewel to regain her breath. After several minutes the sound of her heavy breathing gradually slowed until eventually it dropped to a barely audible level leaving only the soothing low humming sound of the various latest incubators to fill the air. Seeing she had finally regained her cool Broly warmly said, "Well,.. I guess this concludes the event part of our double birthday/end of age celebration Jewel so I guess we will just move on to the feast part, then follow that up by exchanging gifts and if afterwards were still mostly coherent we may possibly add a quick bedtime story to top off the nightly festivities." 32 LETS EAT! Still completely mortified from her earlier violently intense emotional outburst Jewel remained quiet, her face a bright crimson red and just quickly nodded her head back and forth, submissively giving Broly her silent approval of his straightforward schedule for the remainder of their evening. Flashing a winsome grin Broly cheerfully declared, "All righty then Jewel,...LETS EAT!" Without hesitation Jewel immediately leapt onto the nearest dish (a huge platter of roasted drumsticks each the size of a baseball bat from some unknown creature) as she quickly began to voraciously consumed each and every piece of meat on each leg bone not leaving even a single speck of meat before moving onto the next drumstick. In a matter of minutes Jewel had finished off the entire platter which had been filled with enough meat to feed a average family for a week, leaving only a pile of clean ivory leg bones in her wake as she quickly moved onto the next dish. Over the course of the following hour Jewel continued to ravenously consume dish after dish. Like a bottomless black hole her mouth easily sucked in every ounce of food place within yet remarkably her stomach barely expanded, remaining the same size and shape as when she started, defying the natural laws of physics as she consumed enough food with a mass far exceeding her stomachs capacity by at least a hundredfold. Yet this too was another wondrous trait of the miraculous Saiyan warrior physique that possessed a powerful metabolism which required a large amount of sustenance and could quickly process food at an unbelievable speed. With a sigh of contentment Jewel leaned back into her chair wearing a loose smile on her lovely face as she happily rubbed her stomach which despite the monstrous quantity of food she had recently devoured only slightly bulged outward, giving off the appearance she had only eaten 5 pounds of food instead of 5,000 pounds of food. Shaking his head in disbelief yet again for the umpteenth time at the astonishing capacity of a Saiyans stomach Broly sighed before shrugging his shoulders as he shed all concern for this minor issue having donned attained a carefree attitude for the rest of the evening''s festivities as he studied Jewel across the room reclining in her chair from within his incubator as he contemplated over the gift he had secretly prepared for her birthday. Although he was currently unable to leave the confines of the incubator while the nurturing program was running without setting of an alarm, which much to his demise even Jewel was unable to deactivate, he had still felt the need to give her something special for not only was she his first friend since he had arrived in the dragon ball multiverse but was also someone he felt truly deserved a present which would give her a moment of pure happiness after all that she had been thru over the past two years since her parents had died. While something material was usually the type of thing most people would give as a gift Broly felt that what she really needed was something immaterial which would help her deal with the trauma of the pain she had went thru for the past two years. After racking his mind for several days in a row he finally recalled a miraculous technique he had learned several years before he had gone off to college. After considering the techniques usage requirements and the necessary steps needed to learned the technique he had begun to train the technique in secret during nighttime while Jewel slept peacefully across the room from him wearing only her tight one-piece dress, the rest of her clothes haphazardly strewn across the floor forming a strange meandering trail towards her bed. Now after weeks of super secret training he had once again mastered the technique and was now completely confident that he would be able to use the miraculous technique on Jewel to give her a miraculous birthday gift. Noticing a thick blob of drool start to flow down the side of Jewels face he let slip a slight chuckle as he shook his head finding the peaceful sight both heartwarming and amusing before whispering into her ear a playful warning. "Jewel darling, wipe your face, a large glob of saliva is cruising down the side of your face as it desperately tries to flee from the terrifying confines of your lovely gaping maw." Hearing his voice Jewel semi-glazed eyes suddenly became clear as she lifted her right arm crudely wiping her face clean with her right sleeve while licking her dry lips with her little lithe pink tongue. Feeling her mouth had grown dry she hopped out of her chair her tail playfully waving behind her as she swiped her now empty tankard off the table with practiced ease. With a few gracefully steps she reached the giant metal soda keg and began to fill her empty tankard with the kegs multi-hued sweet bubbling nectar. The spraying soda slowly filled the tankard but as it neared the top of the tankard the flow began to slow before completely tapering off. Squeezing the spout several more time Jewel realized she had drained the entire keg and tossed the spout behind her haphazardly with a shrug before slapping the side of the keg good-naturedly cause a hollow sound to ring out as she gracefully skipped back to her seat plopping herself back down before taking a long chug of her tankard of soda followed by slamming it down on the table while giving out a long sigh of enjoyment wearing a lascivious ear to ear grin of pure bliss upon her lovely face. "Ahhh, there''s nothing like a cold space soda after a nice tasty meal Broly!" Jewel suddenly exclaimed happily. Wearing a slight grin on his face Broly warmly replied, "I''m glad you''re enjoying yourself Jewel, Happy seventh Birthday!" "HA-HA-HA, thanks Broly, It been several years since I''ve had such a wonderful birthday."Jewel replied warmly. "Well, how about we move on to the best part of the evening''s festivities Jewel...GIFT GIVING!" announced Broly. "Oh let me go first, let me go first Broly!" Jewel excitedly said leaping out of her chair as she raced towards her workbench. Digging thru the many piles of half completely projects she quickly found a small silvery metallic box emblazoned with large gem-shaped J which she dusted off with a few swipes of her hand before polishing it with her only remaining clean sleeve. Racing back she leapt onto the table causing several piles of picked clean dishes to go tumbling down with a deafening crash. Despite suddenly stopping as she reached the edge of the table the inertia she had built up was not completely dispelled causing her upper body to continue moving forward and collided with exterior of Brolys incubator. With the remarkably familiar "SPLAT" sound of and insect colliding with exterior of a cruising car''s windshield Jewels whole face was now firmly pressed almost completely flat against the exterior of his incubator. Peeling herself off his incubator Jewel retained her cheerful nature despite her inglorious accident as she quickly presented her special birthday gift to Broly. 33 Brolys Miraculous Gift! Opening the rectangular metallic box Jewel revealed a sleek and futuristic looking golden scouter with a blue tinted display similar to her own and proceeded to explain all of its nifty features. Not only was it equipped with all the same abilities as her own but she had improved its range, performance and processing capabilities by almost 50%. What and awesome gift Broly thought happily, he had always wanted his own scouter and now thanks to Jewel he had one which was not only better than any other out their but also looked really cool. "Whoa, my own super sleek scouter, thank you Jewel, I absolutely love it!" Broly happily exclaimed wearing a wide grin on his childish face. Pink feelings of joy and embarrassment filled Jewel as she heard Broly excitedly thank her for her gift causing her to laugh awkwardly as she lowered her eyes and rubbed her head, a crimson hue staining her lovely face as she tentatively said, "Re-Really, well it not that big a deal, I just cobbled together a few parts I had lying around Broly." In truth Jewel was being modest as she tried to play off her effort for in fact she had tirelessly worked on the scouter for the past two months, although most of that time was spent on improving the scouters software and building a special array of Ki sensors even better than the ones she had installed in her own scouter. "Well I think it is a big deal and I really truly like your gift Jewel. Now I have another reason besides wanting to give you a great big hug to get out of this incubator." Broly said happily. "H-H-Hug? You want to hug me Broly? But it''s too soon to take are relationship that far Broly! My hearts still not ready to endure that much sweetness yet!" Jewel quickly rambled her face turning redder and redder the more she spoke. "Um...Okay. Anyways Jewel, now it''s my turn to give you my present." Broly quickly said, trying to change the subject quickly so he could avoid another of Jewels emotional meltdowns. Fortunately it worked for Jewel was quite excited to see what Broly was planning to give her. After all it had been two years since anyone had given her a present, let alone celebrated her birthday with her and ever since three months ago when she and Broly had decided they would hold a joint birthday/ end of year celebration together and Broly had insisted that they would both be giving gifts she had wondered what sort of gift Broly could find while still stuck inside his incubator. Now at the moment of truth Jewel was consumed with curiosity of the unknown and was both scared and excited by the prospect of uncovering the truth and discovering what Broly had secretly prepared to give to her for her sixth birthday. "Well Jewel now it''s my turn to give you my gift. Although as we both know that due to currently being stuck within my incubator I am presently unable to retrieve any sort of material item to present to you as a gift, I personally however feel that any such gift would be far to meager an offering for one as special as you dearest Jewel, so instead I have prepared a very special present for my very best friend in the whole entire universe." Gesturing for her to come closer Broly floated close to the incubators surface then closed his eyes momentarily, to focus his thoughts as he prepared to use the technique he had arranged to use on Jewel. After several minutes had passed Broly released a powerful jet of bubbles from his nostrils and the sides of his mouth like an awakening dragon as his closed eyes suddenly snapped open exuding a powerful and magnetic force. "Look into my eyes Jewel!" Broly''s hypnotic voice flowed into Jewels ears like molten gold giving her a warm fuzzy feeling as she unhesitatingly complied with his order, moving closer to him as his eyes drew her in like a moth was drawn to an open flame. As she felt the very essences of herself begin to flow into Brolys magical eyes she was unaware of Brolys skillful actions. Like a master ninja casting a powerful ninja technique Brolys hand quickly made 5 perfect hands seals one after the other lightning fast while soundlessly uttering one of the 5 elements as he made each seal causing a different color of energy to be added to his eyes each time he made a seal. "D¨¬qi¨²!" (Earth!) "J¨©nsh¨³!" (Metal!) "Shu¨«!" (Water!) "M¨´!" (Wood!) "Hu¨¯!" (Fire!) As he made the final hand seal for fire and invisible wave of energy suddenly exuded from his eyes as the 5 different types of elemental energy within combined having completely fused forming a ring of luminous rainbow energy in both eyes while simultaneously the world around them seemed to slow until everything just stopped. And eternity within an instant past in the blink of an eye then Broly suddenly made a final hand seal breaking the stillness with a powerful shout "D¨£K¨¡I!" causing both rainbow rings within his eyes to suddenly begin rapidly spinning inward towards the center of his face while a low hum rang out throughout the room and quickly grew in volume until suddenly two beams of multicolored energy shot out of Brolys eyes and entered into Jewel causing her to immediately go limp as she became unconscious. Instantly Brolys eyes returned to normal while seeing Jewel as expected slip into and unconscious state. As his eyes became clear he instantly extended a hand lightning fast as he materialized a Powered Shell outside his incubator, completely encapsulating Jewel before she had even fallen a few inches. Skillful manipulates the glowing green sphere of energy Jewel was contained within, with the twitch of a finger he caused the sphere to smoothly rotate so that he could examine Jewels face closely for any dangerous signs. Finding her merely peacefully slumbering he sighed a breath of relief and made another gesture with another finger causing the sphere to slowly float towards Jewels bed where he gently placed her hovering only a few inches above her bed before he dismissed the Ki Barrier causing her to softly land with a gentle "PLOP" onto the thick pile of fluffy pillows heaped atop her bed. Closing his eyes he once again focused his Ki Sense to check Jewel for any anomalous signs hinting at a failed usage yet auspiciously found none dispelling any final doubts his overactive mind was harboring for Jewels safety. The technique Broly had just used was a powerful hypnotic eye technique called [A Moment of Everlasting Affection] which was created by a talented and powerful martial artist who specialized in eye techniques and was also a skilled Asian doctor trained in both traditional Eastern medicine and Western scientific medicine. After witnessing the horrors of war first hand and personally treating the increasingly growing casualties of it every day with rapidly diminishing supplies of Anesthesia and Antibiotics inspiration struck and he painstakingly developed this technique as a superior substitute which was based on the concept of the immense untapped power of the human mind over the body combined with his vast knowledge of eye techniques. With a single look he could use this miraculous technique to penetrate into the depths of his patients mind. The technique would then instantly sift thru all of the patients memories and draw out the most precious and loving moment in the person''s life and would then use the wellspring of positive emotions this moment was filled with to tap into the hidden parts of the mind of this patient which controlled the desire for life and the will to live. While in this euphoric state the patient would be free of pain and all worldly concerns, entering a tranquil regenerative state of slumber helping them to rapidly heal. Unfortunately this miraculous technique had limited usage for it could only be used once a month on the same patient without causing lasting mental trauma. Furthermore the difficulty of learning this technique was high for not only did it require a talented martial artist who had Ki and was skilled at using eye techniques, but also required them to possess high intelligence and advanced medical knowledge of both traditional Eastern medicine and Western scientific medicine. Fortunately Broly had been deeply interested in eye techniques and possessed a superior intelligence, while Grandmaster Long had been skilled in both types of Eastern traditional and Western scientific medicine and had passed on all of his medical knowledge to Broly, which is why he was able to master this miraculous eye technique despite so many others before him failing to do so. Although Broly was confident he could use the technique with just his eyes he had employed the absolute amount of precautions using the 5 elements to further stabilize his skill to ensure Jewels complete and utter safety for he would never be able to forgive himself if he made even the slightest error and caused Jewel even the tiniest amount of damage. After all, this was meant to be a priceless gift he was giving her that was free of any and all problems and Broly would tolerate absolutely zero problems on Jewels special day, especially with the gift HE was giving her. 34 Unburdened Jewel. The next morning he awoke feeling refreshed despite the amusing antics of the previous night. Looking across the room at Jewels bed he observed the passed out form of Jewel holding a large stuffed animal in a vicious choke hold with her legs, a look of absolute contentment upon her sleeping face which was relaxed, being completely free of any and all worries. For the remainder of the day Jewel remained asleep and although occasionally she would quietly mutter something, (a word or name) she still remained peacefully asleep while her ivory skin seemed to be undergoing a continuous rejuvenation, growing even more lovely and smooth with each passing second. Finally after 10 long hours of peaceful slumber Jewel slowly awoke, her stomach growling in protest from hunger after having remained empty for more than 8 hours but despite this she remained indifferent to its growling pleas for she seemed to be preoccupied by something else as she slowly got out of bed, her eyes although clouded by something were still gleaming with a newfound look of ease and tranquility as though a great burden which had been secretly plaguing her spirit had now been lifted from her causing her soul to now be wonderfully weightless and carefree as she slowly walked over to Broly wearing a strange expression upon her face. "Good evening Jewel, did you sleep well?" Broly asked pensively. After several slow steps Jewel arrived next to his incubator and paused momentarily before she suddenly sat down with her back facing him and leaned against his incubator. Remaining silent for a few moments longer Jewel seemed to gather her thoughts while also seemingly trying to permanently engrave what she had seen during her long sleep into her mind before she slowly spoke, her voice filled with complete and utter sincerity. "Thank You Broly! Thank you so very much! That was the best present I have ever received in my entire life!" As she said this her eyes started to flow as two sparkling rivers quickly formed on her face yet instead of feeling alarm at the sight of Jewels tears Broly only felt relief seeing this sight for these were tears of joy not sorrow and this was also a symptom that had been recorded in the techniques manual that should be expected after a person had successfully awoken from experiencing the full effects of [A Moment of Everlasting Affection] along with having a pensive state for they had not only recovered from a horrible injury escaping the merciless grasp of death but had experienced a life altering moment having miraculously relieved the happiest moment in their life once again causing them to be filled with a storm of confusing and even in some cases forgotten emotions. Nodding knowingly Broly warmly replied, "Your more than welcome Jewel, I hope this helped you find some measure of closure with whatever has been plaguing your soul for all this time Jewel, for only with a open heart and a carefree soul will you be able to reach your true potential and Jewel, you have so very, very much potential buried deep inside of you, my lovely little "SUPER" engineer." Rubbing her wet face dry with one of her sleeves Jewel simply smiled as she quietly listened to Broly speak, his words and facial expressions causing her to feel a warm fuzzy feeling she had not felt for a long time, the feeling of someone caring deeply for her, the feeling of having a family again, for she now felt stronger than ever that Broly was her family, the most important part of her new family and that despite the distinct difference in their ages that she was the younger sister while he was the strong and wise dependable older brother who would always keep her safe no matter who they may face or what may come. For the rest of the day they both just remained the way they were, with Jewel leaning against his incubator, her head bowed down as she remained peacefully lost in her thoughts while Broly floating above her in a elegant lotus stance with his eyes closed quietly meditating was above her like a indomitable slumbering silent sentinel eternally keeping watch over his ward as he continued to improve his Ki Sense''s range and sensitivity while simultaneously diverting a portion of his Ki Sense to focus directly on Jewel and her surroundings to insure his precious little Saiyan was safe at all times from any and all dangers. ...... The following few months quickly passed much the same way as the past year had and besides the continuous all-around improvement to himself Broly made he soon discovered a new issue that concerned him. This growing concerns was surprisingly his lack of clothes / nudity. Although he had a rather liberal mindset having the mind of an adult despite being physically only one year old, he still felt somewhat embarrassed around the mature looking Jewel, for although he was well aware that she was only a 6 year old albeit a precocious one possessing high intelligence, she still was a child as far as he was concerned. Yet as his body continued to grow he discovered and unforeseen oddity with his physique, specifically his manhood. Based on his memories of Son Goku all thru his youth, even during his teen years he recalled him having a child-sized one, which he had always assumed was the norm for most Saiyans and had taken the issue for granted. Yet he had now begun to notice a significant change in the size of his own, which unexpectedly was rapidly nearing the size of a grown adults. This increase in size had started to have and unconscious effect on him for he found himself growing increasingly self-conscious in Jewels presence as he would now defensively move his hands over his crotch to hide himself from her gaze reflexively. With his profound medical knowledge he estimated at the rate he was growing he would soon surpass the level of an average male and begin his unexpected ascent into the ranks of epic bedroom warriors far earlier than he or anyone else had ever suspected possible. It now seemed that even in his childhood Broly truly lived up to his imposing title for even this part of him was destined to be legendary, far surpassing any previously held record in the universe for a male humanoid mammal. However the subtle distraction this caused him soon became so bad that he was forced ask Jewel to acquire for him a pair of short. Although somewhat curious about his request she quickly complied, fetching him a pair of black skintight trunks made of the same material used by most Saiyans in their combat jumpsuits and passing them to him compressed into the shape of a tiny pill thru a solids intake port. Although the snug trunks left little to the imagination they still provided the bare minimum of decency which was more than enough for him to finally have peace of mind for the time being. 35 The Urge To Stretch! One month later Broly awoke refreshed after a peaceful night of meditation, a jet of bubbles shooting out of his mouth as he deeply exhaled like an awakening dragon expelling the turbid air from his body. Craning his head slightly upwards he glanced up at the corner of his incubator as he examined the glowing readouts reversed words prominently displayed there. Name: Broly, Gender: Male, Parents: Paragus / Cress, Date of Birth: 737, Rank: Low-Class, Power Level: 213, Time in Incubator: 15 months. 15 months, "wow, how time flies" Broly thought as he read how long he had been inside his incubator the numerical reading echoing in his mind causing him to actually begin to considered how long he had really been inside this small space and the shear thought of it caused him to start to feel a little cramped. Indeed after 15 onerous month of being confined within a small enclosure Broly was starting to feel the urge to stretch his legs yet he continued to meditate and train assiduously for he wisely knew that in little more than a few fleeting months the entire planet would be no more than a pile of dust floating thru space and that during his daring escape with Jewel (his lovely yet somewhat lacking combat wise companion) he would have to face incalculable amounts of unknown issue''s along the way with the entire planet erupting around them both. So with his honed willpower and adult mentality he channeled this strong desire for freedom back into himself and used it to fuel his urge to train and to further his need to grow stronger for unlike the majority of the universes inhabitants he had a clear grasp of the power structure of the universe and was well aware of the strength of the many power houses out there. However regardless of what his true power level was he had continued to keep up his average saiyan infant facade, maintaining the seemingly steady rate of growth of his power level by gradually increasing the amount of Ki he released from his body. But despite exuding a robust power level of 213 he was still classified as a Low-Class saiyan by the system and based on his understanding of saiyan warrior classes and from what Jewel had told him he would be considered one until his Power Level was near 5,000 the level of a decent Mid-Class saiyan warrior. The rest of the day past as usually, but the next morning Jewel informed him of some good news. It seemed she had finished creating the new OS software for some special modifications he had asked her to make to his incubator. His latest incubator being the newest model came with a variety of new and improved technologies all combined to help promote the growth of the young saiyans housed within them into the perfect warrior. Not only did it help strengthen the body and power of the young Saiyan, it went a step even further by helping their minds grow stronger, teaching the saiyan infants thru a sort of VR sub-neural wireless uplink in their sleep of the basic knowledge of the universe, the history of their people, and most importantly how to fight. Knowing his incubator was also equipped with this sub-neural uplink he had asked Jewel to modify its software to allow him to have not only direct cognizant mental control of the entire VR system but to link it up directly to the Galactic Database so he could learn and study about the Dragon Ball universe around him. Hearing his revolutionary ideas Jewel was indeed immensely intrigued and had spent the last few months furiously tinkering away at her wrist computer, rapidly working her way thru billions of line of code as she created a new OS specifically tailored for him to run on the incubators sub-neural uplink. The final product was a massive software packaged she cleverly disguised as a normal software update which fortunately for both of them she managed to smoothly uploaded into his own incubator safely. Still when the incubators console displayed "UPDATE COMPLETE" both Broly and Jewel sighed with relief before Jewel suddenly smugly stuck out her chest as she proudly boasted to him saying, "I don''t know what you were worried about Broly, such a simple software modification is easy peasy for a SUPER engineer like me!" Smiling gleefully Broly coolly replied, "You did indeed make it look easy, so I guess in this case, you also could claim to have momentarily been almost as awesome as I always am Jewel and thank you for a job exceedingly well done, you truly have gone above and beyond this time my lovely little saiyan engineer." "SUPER engineer" Jewel quickly interjected with and insistent tone. "Oops, your quite right Jewel, my lovely little saiyan "SUPER" engineer!" Broly complyingly corrected with a roguish grin on his childish face. "That''s much better." Jewel happily spoke while nodding her head approvingly back and forth with a look of prideful contentment on her face. "Indeed Jewel, I''m glad you''ve gotten over your embarrassment and have come to accept your fate as one of my families most prized members. Why I thought it would take nearly twice as long for you to accept the inevitability of your situation but this is a most welcome turn of events if I do say so myself and so as the head of my family I graciously welcome you as the newest familial member to the most exclusive familial society in existence and now with you joining that brings the total members up to...2! Well I guess I better take this new OS of yours for a test run so welcome to the family Jewel and TTYL!" Broly said cunningly with his silver tongue, pulling and entire herd instead of just one rabbit from his empty magicians top hat before quickly like a world renowned magician he slipped away smoothly without anyone realizing, safely sending his mind into the digital world of Jewel''s OS. Still nodding her head back and forth happily high on the fumes of her success, Jewel unthinkingly continued to agree with everything Broly said before reflexively responding to his farewell warmly saying, "Why thank you Broly, I''m so glad to have been given the honor of joining your family Broly and good luck, I''m sure my "SUPER" OS will blow you aw....." Her voice suddenly tapering off as she finally managed to process the entirety of Brolys last few sentences causing her face to not turn the usual red but rainbow, going thru every shade of color possible as she realized what Broly had just tricked her into agreeing too by skillfully twisting her silent agreement into a full blown 1,000 page contract. At once she was filled with two conflicting powerful emotions, rage and joy. The rage was fueled by more embarrassment then the fact that she had been fooled while the joy was pure for it was driven by the single thought that Broly had wanted her to join his family so badly that he had resorted to word play and trickery to achieve his goal, for without the slightest hesitation he had cast aside any semblance of honor and respect he had accumulated so far to unerringly acquire her complete and total assimilation into his family. After sorting thru her various thoughts and feeling for awhile Jewel''s joy eventually overpowered her other thoughts and emotions causing a pinkish hue to stain her faces ivory cheeks as she fully accepted her integration into Brolys family thinking "Well, I guess I don''t mind being part of your family Broly" before whispering privately to herself in the deepest part of her heart, "Take good care of me!" 36 The Wonderful World Of Sub-Neural VR. Unaware of the series of important emotional events Jewel was going thru Broly was happily immersing himself in the wonderful world of sub-neural VR. Now thanks to the modifications Jewel had made all he had to do was close his eyes and think " System Activate " and the OS''s interactive desktop would appear in his mind. From their he could instantly access the Galactic Database, navigating thru its vast interactive digital archives of information by thought alone. After he had cunningly woven his wordy web Broly quickly made his getaway by closing his eyes and securely crossing both his arms across his chest before taking a single deep breath then commandingly thinking "System Activate". Instantly the darkness was pushed away by a blinding white light which quickly dimmed causing the darkness to briefly appear once more before the glowing white words on the black background of his mind "LOADING..." appeared and started to repeatedly flash for several seconds before disappearing to be replaced by the sudden appearance of a animated cute cartoon logo of Jewel giving a thumbs up and winking once with the words [JEWELSOFT] beneath it made from glistening gems followed by the enchanting sound of tinkling chime-like laughter before completely fading out. "Wow, that was such a sweet presentation" Broly thought, absolutely impressed by Jewels adorable logo. As the [JEWELSOFT] logo faded out the darkness spawned countless specks of light as it transformed into a starry place that made it appeared as though he was actually in space, quietly floating alone amidst countless tiny stars if you overlooked the massive glowing white search bar, its rhythmically blinking text cursor and the wide empty space next to it silently urging him like the devil to input his query and discover the unknown secrets of the universe. Heeding this enthralling devilish call, he wholly gave into the inescapable urge to know the unknown with childlike abandon as he discard all sense of caution with a single thought as he casually entered "Planet Vegeta" causing the space around him to whoosh as he was suddenly hurtled rapidly thru the cosmos past countless stars, solar systems and other wondrous cosmic formations until he arrived outside of a yellowish red planet with a massive information window hovering next to it listing the various information about the planet including its age, location, history, list of inhabitants and pretty much anything else you could possibly want to know. "FANTASTIC!" Broly thought, his eyes sparkling with endless excitement for the infinite possibilities of VR. Over the next few months Broly spent the majority of his time immersed in VR exploring the Galactic Database. Starting from Planet Vegeta he gradually began to exploring outwards in a spiral moving from the nearest planetary body to body. With each new thing he learned he made new wondrous discovery''s which caused him to have even more questions as his thirst for knowledge became insatiable driving him onward as he studied everything and anything he could think of ranging from different civilizations and planets to current galactic news and trending pop culture. However he was most consumed with history and spent a great deal of time researching the history of Saiyans and other powerful warrior races throughout the galaxy who had briefly been mentioned by Son Goku when he had gone on his exploration of the galaxy. Eventually though his quest for knowledge came to a jarring halt when Jewel who had been waiting patiently for three months for him to emerge had grown tired of waiting and forcefully ejected him out of the VR system. Needless to say he was quite aware of her feeling when he suddenly snapped his eye open angrily and discovered Jewels face pressed firmly against the incubators tank with a terrifying scowl upon it. After learning how long he had actually been inside the system he begrudgingly agreed that he may have become slightly addicted to VR in his pursuit of knowledge and acknowledged he would stop using it for awhile. Despite his three month long mental journey he had made great strides in his training for VR had caused his mind and Ki Sense to grow vastly stronger and if he extended it in a straight line like a stretched rubber band he could reach over 200 million miles which is roughly 2.5 AU (Astronomical Units) easily surpassing far beyond Planet Vegeta, reaching nearly beyond the entire solar system. Yet this sudden increase in mental ability had come with a cost for his body had now become seriously unbalanced with his body not as strong as his mind cause a dissonance between the two. In order to rectify this situation Broly began to focus purely on training his body, meditating to draw in Ki and using this Ki to cause his muscles to pulsate rhythmically inducing the strain of an hour of lifting weights and condensing it into a few minutes. Although immensely painful at first as the days slowly turned into weeks his young body quickly grew stronger and stronger until eventually several agonizing months later he had attained the muscle definition of a god of war, every ounce of baby fat on him transformed into flawless gleaming muscle that although perfectly defined (with it looking as though it had been sculpted not gained thru hours of excruciating exercise) was not obscene for one so young but in fact mind numbingly attractive, his adorably cute childish body having transformed into that of a 3 foot tall young manly Adonis overflowing with charm and vigor with a perfect golden ratio. 37 Brolys Gift! The rest of the year quickly flew by as Broly and Jewel who were now quite familiar with each other had attained a subtle harmonious rhythm with each other causing time to literally fly by as they each continued to grow stronger in their own respective paths, Broly as a warrior and Jewel as a "SUPER" engineer. Before they realized it they had reached the last week of the year giving them barely enough time to prepare for the end of age / double birthday celebration. After rushing around the city Jewel managed to acquire a large assortment of foods and several huge keg of Space Soda while still managing to find time to finish her present for Broly in secret which Broly respectively avoided examining with his Ki Sense to not ruin the surprise. Just like last year this party was even more eventful with Jewel causing a huge scene when a carelessly thrown leg bone collided with one of her half finished devices causing a beam of energy to blast out and incidentally collide with the bunch of huge kegs of Space Soda which all instantly exploded causing a fizzy tidal wave nine feet high to crash into the table covered with food and all the incubators in the room causing the food to wash of in the bubbling surf. Fortunately for Jewel Broly reacted with lightning reflexes extending a hand as he instantly enclose Jewel within a luminous bright green Powered Shell Ki Barrier saving her from a foaming fizzy doom. After the tidal wave had subsided the room was filled with a 2 foot deep bubbling lake with a wide assortment of soggy foods bobbing to and fro throughout the drenched fizzing room causing Broly to feel like he was inside the stomach of some sort of giant prehistoric monster. Dispatching dozens of marble drone to begin to clean up and drain the room Jewel balanced atop the top half of a Space Soda Keg floating upon the fizzy sea with a scowl of disappointment on her face, her stomach growling as she looked with yearning at all the wet food she had not managed to eat. Eventually hunger took over and she grabbed a big soggy loaf of bread floating nearby and hesitantly bit into it. Finding the taste surprisingly delicious she ravenously dug into it quickly consuming the entire loaf before she directed a few other drones to hoist various other soggy foods from the bubbling waters for her consumption. Laughing at Jewels cute antics which caused her to cheeks to bulge out making her look like a hungry squirrel Broly thoroughly enjoyed himself for the entire event and was especially excited when Jewel gave him his present, a sleek wrist computer just like her own with several upgrades that matched his scanner perfectly while Jewel was equally excited when he gave her his present which was music. Specifically the musical hits of the 80''s from his past life which had been a real passion of his for although he had loved countless songs from throughout the ages from countless genre''s his all time favorite songs came from the 80''s. During his time in the VR he had sent a great deal of time transferring the hundreds of songs from his memories into data which he secretly stored wirelessly on his personal scouter in digital form. Fortunately it wasn''t that difficult to find a program on the Galactic Database designed for creating music via neural transmission which he used to accurately recreate all of his favorite songs. From Bon-Jovi to Billy Ocean, from Madonna to Michael Jackson the top hits of the 80''s were born into the world with every note perfectly placed and every word spotlessly sung by Broly who was both the chorus and the lead singer. Of course his level of shamelessness had risen to a new level with him using his own name in place of every musical artist and band for he knew these people and groups did not exist in the world so he might as well claim them as his own so every song was by "Broly" the musical genius instead of the original artist / group. Transmitting his voice thru the air with Ki he issued a voice command next to his scouter causing it to transfer the plethora of music files he had created directly to Jewel''s wrist computer and scouter. Once the transfer was complete the small program he had created began to run instantly causing a specific song he had preselected to play thru the speakers in Jewels headset. Of course with the first few notes of "(Kool & The Gangs) Broly - Celebration" Jewels ears started to twitch excitedly and with the first few words perfectly sung by Broly stars appeared in her eyes as she was completely mesmerized by this wondrous new thing Broly had given her called music. Seeing the joyful look upon Jewels face Broly smiled knowing he had chosen correctly for he was now certain she was overjoyed with his gift. Still several days later he wondered if he had made a error in his choice of gift with Jewel blastingthe "(Scorpions) Broly - No One Like You" and "(Journey) Broly - Faithfully" among several others over and over again while she continued to tinker away at her workbench pausing many times to leap to her feet and begin to sing along with a excellent albeit booming voice which made it difficult for Broly to concentrate on his training. But he was the one who had opened this can of worms and had already made his bed so he would just have to lay in it for awhile till he adapted to this incessant noise pollution or at the very least, convinced Jewel to were a set of headphones. However he did wonder why of the large selection of songs he had recorded for her she continued to mainly listened to the ones dealing with love repeatedly all the while glancing at him while she sang certain sections of the lyrics dealing with oaths of eternal love and confessions of undying eternal love. Perhaps there was more to her song choice and glances then he had thought at first... Nah he was just over thinking the situation once again...right? 38 God Of Destruction Beerus Arrives! Now that it was age 379 Broly began the last stages of his planet escape plan, giving Jewel specific instructions on building a swarm of wireless microscopic spy cameras which he told her to secretly spread throughout the Saiyan city, planting themselves in key locations, especially inside all the walls inside and out of the Saiyan castle and all around King Vegeta''s throne room. These were preparations for the arrival of that eccentric fickle bastard god of destruction Lord Beerus who''s arrival should be anytime soon. Although he could easily watch the throne room using his Ki Sense he was terrified of being detected by Lord Beerus for he would surely be able to detect him spying with his strong Ki Sense and provoke his curiosity. Furthermore if he even layed a single eye on him he would easily be able to see his true power level despite him controlling his Ki emanations to a low level for Beerus Ki Sense was insanely sharp, especially since he used Godly Ki instead of normal mortal Ki. While he may take a positive interest in him, with his unique indecisive temperament he might also instantly destroy him with a single finger in the blink of an eye. No after thinking about it for almost a year he had decide it would be much better to avoid such a unpredictable situation altogether, postponing their meeting for the distant future when he had reach a level to talk as equals and not as a bug. Still he needed to know when he visited to estimate how long until the planets demise which is why he turned to technology to avoid suspicion and detection. Under his instruction Jewel had programmed the micro spy cameras to remain active at all times and to begin recording once they detected a target with a power level above a certain set limit, then to scan if it originated from a unknown alien species. If it did it was to continue recording the target and transmit all video data to a hidden server on the other side of the city far from the area were Broly''s incubator was, another measure he had insisted on to add a additional layer of protection. With these preset parameters he felt confident Lord Beerus would easily be discovered and even if when he visited he did detect the spy cameras at the very least he would ignore them as something unimportant while at the utmost he would simply destroy them all simultaneously with a casual thought. Either way he would have achieved his goal of discovering Lord Beerus''s visit and gain additional time to prepare knowing that under his orders Frieze would soon begin the planets destruction and the next stage of Broly''s planet escape plan would soon be under way. Several weeks later, just as he had predicted Lord Beerus arrived on Planet Vegeta and although his visit was a brief one it did in fact decide the fate of the planet. Of course Broly did not discover his visit until the day after when Jewel accessed the cameras logs and discovered a series of video''s uploaded to the system. It seemed fortune had favored Broly once again and Lord Beerus had ignored the spy cameras existence enabling him to actually study the appearance of universe sevens god of destruction and witness his visitation in full. Just like he had seen before with Grandmaster Long, the video started outside the castle with the sudden appearance of two unique looking individuals appearing on the edge of the city''s market. The first figure was obviously Lord Beerus who is a purple anthropomorphic cat with golden yellow eyes and large pointed ears. His form appeared hairless and while overall he was defined in build, he was still very much thin and bony. He appeared to be of a similar height to the future adult Son Goku, being only a head shorter, but his long pointed cat ears atop his head making him appear taller than he actually was. He donned black, blue, and gold Egyptian-looking attire with the same white and orange diamond decorations as all gods of destruction wear. The second figure is the usual companion you find with every god of destruction, their angelic attendant. Lord Beerus''s eternal angelic attendant whose name is Whis appearance was that of a tall, thin humanoid with pale blue skin, tall vertically combed white hair, violet eyes, and rather effeminate features. He held in his right hand a long blue staff capped in gold with a Saturn shaped dark gem with a vertical ring that floats above it, while around his neck he wore a large light blue ring. His attire consisted of a maroon robe, a black cuirass with the same white and orange diamond decorations as Lord Beerus, and a blue sash. He also wore black high-heeled shoes with white spats. Despite the whimsical bemused expression on his face Broly could see a look of dissatisfaction with the way Lord Beerus suddenly discarded his noble godly appearance by stretching before beginning to walk like a common bowlegged gangster out to make his daily collections, both of his hands stuck in his pockets as he sauntered into town. But like all angelic attendants, although he may not approve of all of his deity''s behavior he is still fully bound to the service of his deity and usually does not leave him unaccompanied. Still after spending roughly twenty minutes searching the market for any new delicious foods and failing they both disappeared then reappeared in the Saiyan castle in King Vegeta''s throne room. A look of shock and absolute terror appeared on King Vegeta''s face as he dismissed his councilors with a fearful yelp and a wave of his hand as he hastily leapt of his throne and collapsed to his knee''s bowing his head submissively as he stutteringly spoke a loquacious greeting. Standing upright like a pillar, his left hand behind his back Lord Beerus waved his right hand dismissively a few times vaguely acknowledging King Vegeta''s greeting than ask if he had completed the mission he had asked him to complete for that item. Tentatively raising his head King Vegeta rose to his feet and clasped his hands rubbing them together as a merchants smile appeared on his bearded face as he nodded yes, informing him his men were bringing it as he spoke and were only a few hours away from the planet before politely asking Lord Beerus to let him host a banquet for him while he waited for them to arrive with the item in question. As a diehard foodie''s Lord Beerus as well as his angelic attendant Whis easily agreed to King Vegeta''s ingratiating proposal causing him to quickly order all the best cooks in the castle to begin cooking a feast of the finest Saiyan foods planet Vegeta had to offer. Soon steaming dish after dish began to emerge from the castle''s kitchen and were quickly placed on the long dining table which Lord Beerus was sitting at yet although delicious they were not anything special and Lord Beerus soon lost interest in eating them. Fortunately the feast bought King Vegeta the time he needed and by the time Lord Beerus lost interest with the banquet King Vegeta''s men radioed him that they were landing at this moment on the private landing pad behind the castle. Quickly King Vegeta informed Lord Beerus his men had arrived and he was leaving right now to go retrieve the item and would be back soon. Nodding acceptingly he ordered him to hurry up saying he had grown bored with this unsavory Saiyan food and then suddenly his finger flickered with a light as a small purple energy ball appeared on it with several translucent light rings revolving around it as he said with his face growing dark that if he didn''t hurry he would destroy him and his boring uninteresting planet. Still anxiously smiling, a thick sheen of sweat covering his back King Vegeta''s begged him to wait just a little longer before racing off towards the landing pad behind the castle at his top speed leaving only a blur in his wake. 39 King Vegetas Cunning Scheme! In a few moments King Vegeta arrived at the landing pad were a flying saucer type spaceship had landed with several lowered struts and a wide gantry which a group of Saiyan warriors was marching down carrying a large white oval locked container between them. Setting the white container down in front of King Vegeta the warriors saluted him then reported despite the loss of 93% of their dispatched forces they had returned successfully with the requested item. Noticing the impatient look on King Vegeta''s face they quickly unlocked and opened the white contained revealing two plush looking gleaming white pillows. Although at first after hearing his men had successfully completed their mission King Vegeta looked excited and relieved the discovery of two pillows instead of one within the secure confines of the white container caused him to furor his brow in question for their should only have been one pillow. Turning to the squad leader King Vegeta asked "What the hell is this! Why are their two pillows instead of only one like you were ordered to retrieve?" Saluting King Vegeta the squad leader informed King Vegeta that this was "the most comfortable pillow in the entire universe" pointing to the topmost gleaming white pillow and that this was "the second most comfortable pillow in the universe" pointing to the bottommost one. According to him the target had both in his custody when they had finally reached him and they had decided to bring them both back to his majesty King Vegeta. Studying them both closely he failed to see or feel any difference between them before placing them both back down in the container. Suddenly a dark thought appeared in King Vegeta''s mind, the arrival of two such nearly identical items instead of one offered him a unique opportunity to enact a simple yet cunning scheme to achieve some sort of simple petty revenge against that insufferable bastard god of destruction Lord Beerus. Despite his subservient manner and actions before Lord Beerus King Vegeta was a very prideful and stubborn person, a trait his son would emulate consistently in future for all to see, but in front of the god of destruction Lord Beerus and his immeasurable might, he could only scrap and bow his proud Saiyan head like a weak and worthless bug because as Lord Beerus loved to inform everyone he met who even slightly annoyed him he just has to move his finger, and him, his men and his beloved Planet Vegeta would completely disappear from the universe. At god of destruction Lord Beerus''s level, destruction and creation could be achieved effortlessly with just a thought. This amount of power causing them to be indifferent to the plights of mortal and who was good and who was bad. In their eyes good and evil was not important, their duty was only to treat everyone equally and maintain the balance of the universe. As a god of destruction If Lord Beerus felt like destroying, then he would ruthlessly destroy whoever or whatever he wanted for that was his purpose in the universe as a god of destruction, to destroy. Now with these two practically identical pillows before him the chance to enact a petty scheme against the god of destruction Lord Beerus to gain some semblance of revenge and to alleviate his greatly wounded pride had appeared before him. With only a moment of contemplation a wicked smile appeared briefly on King Vegeta''s face as dark thoughts momentarily flickered across his eyes before he quickly order his men to take this white container to his room while he retrieved the bottommost pillow which was "the second most comfortable pillow in the universe" and began to race back to his throne room. Bursting into the throne room he collapsed onto the floor into the room before Lord Beerus who still held his finger pointing upwards with the small purple energy ball that could spell the end of the planet floating above it. Wearing a scowl upon his face Lord Beerus looked down with disdain at King Vegeta saying "your late" and his typical line "I think I will destroy you and this worthless planet" causing King Vegeta to quickly beg him to have mercy and that he has the item he asked for right here he said offering up the gleaming white fluffy pillow. Dispelling the terrifying despite its minuscule size ball of planet destroying purple energy Lord Beerus jumped to his feet happily, a smile on his face as he grabbed the gleaming white pillow saying "OOOHHH YES, this looks exactly like what I ask for" he said before asking "Your sure this is the most comfortable pillow in the universe?" Nodding his head up and down King Vegeta quickly replied "Most assuredly Lord Beerus, despite the great difficulty it took to acquire it, this is without a shadow of a doubt the most comfortable pillow in the universe just like you asked for." "Excellent" Lord Beerus happily exclaimed as he quickly snatched the gleaming white pillow from King Vegeta''s outstretched hands before plopping himself gently down on the carpeted floor, placing the pillow under his head as he closed his eyes. Seeing Lord Beerus laying on the floor happily with the pillow King Vegeta quietly sighed a breath of relief feeling the reapers blade retract from his neck, his sweat covered face relaxed while a cunning and devilish gleam flickered within the uttermost depths of his eye until suddenly Lord Beerus eye''s snapped open as he shouted aloud "What the hell is this!" Leaping to his feet Lord Beerus exuded a faint killing intent which caused a shiver to run up King Vegeta''s spine as he once more collapsed to the throne room floor on all four subserviently before the angered god of destruction. In a halting confused tone King Vegeta hesitantly asked "What anger''s you s..supreme Lord Beerus?" "Oh, you don''t know why I''m angry?" said Lord Beerus grimly as he placed his left foot atop King Vegeta''s head. "Do you have any idea why I''m angry?" he continued questioning King Vegeta, "Well do you?" Gasping aloud terrified King Vegeta quickly answered "Because I couldn''t carry out your orders before the appointed deadline?" "Wrong! I am a very generous god, but there is one thing I absolutely cannot tolerate. The insensitivity of those who do not pay me my do respect." He replied before stepping down on King Vegeta''s head causing a spider web of cracks to appear as he embed his head into the solid stone floor of the throne room. "I gave you the order to bring me the most comfortable pillow in the universe. You stole it from a planet somewhere." He angrily said in a low tone as he twisted his foot grinding it into the back of KIng Vegeta''s head. Removing his foot from King Vegeta''s head, Lord Beerus quickly squatted down as his left hand firmly grasped King Vegeta''s head and hoisted him almost to eye level before continuing his explanation. "I don''t know and don''t care how many people you killed. But you kept the best pillow in the universe for yourself and gave me the second best one. Did you think I wouldn''t notice?" Squeezing his head slightly harder he pushed him back down onto the hard stone floor causing King Vegeta to scream aloud as he snapped the bones in his right shoulder effortlessly causing such intense pain that King Vegeta blacked out. His left hand still atop King Vegeta Lord Beerus suddenly looked to his left as a young kid Vegeta emerged from somewhere yelling his usual catchphrase "Don''t be so full of yourself" as he angrily charged towards him. Turning questioningly towards him in disbelief at the sight of kid Vegeta charging towards him Lord Beerus narrowed his eyes as he emitted a sliver of his overwhelming killing intent towards him causing kid Vegeta to suddenly freeze before collapsing to the ground paralyzed from absolute fear. Rising to his feet Lord Beerus sighed unhappily as he said "What an absolute disappointment. This planet turned out to be both annoying and really boring, I guess there really is nothing good about Planet Vegeta Whis." "Indeed Lord Beerus." Whis replied in his usually calm high pitched tone. "Let''s go." Lord Beerus briefly said before both he and Whis disappeared from the throne room. 40 Bardock Returns "HOLY SHIT!!! King Vegeta just got owned by that purple cat dude!" Jewel exclaimed in disbelief as she jumped to her feet dropping her giant 2 ft tub of greasy saltines onto the floor. "Language young lady!" Broly quickly uttered flashing Jewel a penetrating corrective glance. "Oops, tee-he, sorry Broly." Jewel replied as she flashed him a wide grin while cutely tapping her right fist against the side of her head with a cute "PON" before reiterating in a lackluster manner by saying "I meant WOW! King Vegeta was easily defeated by that fathomless godly lavender cat-like expert." "Hmm....better." Broly blandly acknowledged while secretly wondering to himself where she had learn such crude language before continuing by saying "Remember what I taught you Jewel, when is the only time appropriate for a young Saiyan lady to use such coarse language?" "When...fighting?" Jewel asked tentatively. "And..." Broly prompted questioningly. "And facing a life or death situation." completed Jewel with a smile. "Correct! Only in those two situations should you employ such rough language." Broly reiterated for the umpteenth time while nodding repetitively with his arms crossed across his chest sitting in his usual lotus pose. Still he could understand why she had been so surprised to see King Vegeta humbled so easily for the concept that he was the strongest Saiyan had been one that he had secretly promoted strongly causing it to be accepted as a veritable fact amongst Saiyans and whilst it was also common knowledge that Frieza was supposedly far stronger than King Vegeta no Saiyan had ever witnessed him being easily crushed. But now that Jewel had witnessed with her own eyes Beerus crushing King Vegeta with ease in a mere second she had suddenly become aware of how despite him being lauded as the strongest Saiyan and warrior in the universe how truly weak in comparison to certain other aliens he truly was. Such a stark difference caused her to feel shocked but also secretly sowed the desire for power in her innermost heart. Perhaps this was the moment when she finally began to awaken to the true path that all Saiyans pursued, the path to absolute martial skill and power. "Now Jewel, things are about to get quite lively around here and soon you and I will being going on quite the trip, so let''s begin are preparations. Also I''m going to need you to make a few adjustments to are scouters and...." ...... The gears of history continued to turn and within a week of the departure of the god of destruction Lord Beerus, Frieza''s suddenly issued a order to all of his alien force''s to gather his armada around Planet Vegeta in preparation for a special announcement of a new galactic war campaign. Several months later after Frieza''s issued a second absolute order he could sense the end was near. Frieza''s entire armada had already arrived outside the planet, completely surrounding the planet with and inescapable net, his flagship situating itself directly above the Saiyan capital in space. Already Frieza''s issued return summons to all Saiyan squadrons off-world had gone out, calling them back to their doom and already most of the squads had returned, his father Paragus and his remaining warriors were some of the first to arrive amidst cheers of their fellow Saiyans for their bravery. Only a few months more and the planet would be destroyed. Fortunately Broly''s preparations were done. Not only had he mastered all the necessary techniques to survive as well as memorized the star charts of the surrounding locations, but he also now knew the locations of hundreds of planets nearby to Planet Vegeta, of which a few dozen had a breathable atmosphere, while only half of these had life and vegetation. After careful consideration he had already decided on a small habitable planet 20 light-years away which could sustain them both. The database also said there was a small decommissioned outpost on the planet shut down four years ago. A few months later, only a few short weeks from the end of age 739 Bardock finally returned to his home Planet Vegeta. With his arrival Broly finally knew that the clock was already ticking and that this would be the last day of Planet Vegeta. Tonight, Bardock from his instinctive fear for the unknown future of the Saiyans would send off Son Goku as a infiltration infant to Planet Earth just before the day that Frieza would commence his attack on the planet wiping out the majority of the Saiyans and destroying their home, Planet Vegeta. Because of the long journey before them Broly has already gotten Jewel to gather a feast for herself which she happily began to consume at a rapid rate while Broly secretly watches with his Ki Sense the last moments of Goku''s father Bardock on Planet Vegeta who is happily making his way home. Greeting his lively fellow Saiyans which he had not seen for quite awhile since he was a battle nut who had been gone for several years now off-world invading other planets. As he entered a meat supply warehouse a short distance from his home a smile appeared on his face as he gazed upon a lovely little Saiyan beauty, her brown silky furred monkey tail waving around playfully behind her, holding a large meat cleaver in her right hand as she methodically sliced with skill a large piece of meat into steaks. "Hey I''m home Gine!" he exclaimed happily with a winsome grin upon his roguishly handsome Saiyan face. "BARDOCK!" shouted Gine excitedly as she dropped her cleaver on her chopping block and quick thru herself into Bardock''s welcoming embrace. Hugging each other closely, Bardock leaned down and tenderly kissed his lovely little Saiyan wife, then slowly separated his face again while still gazing warmly into her eyes before asking with a roguish grin, "The town sounds like were having a festival." "Yeah it''s because everybody''s back." Gine replied with an adorable nod. "Where''s Raditz?" asked Bardock inquiringly. "He''s already a combatant. He was sent to some planet with Prince Vegeta. But it''s a far-off planet so he hasn''t come back yet." informed Gine proudly. "Prince Vegeta huh... That''s one pain in the neck to have as a partner." commented Bardock knowingly before asking her "Is Kakarrot still inside the incubator?" "Yeah, it''s been almost three years so I''ll get him out soon, you want to see him?" asked Gine. Nodding yes, Gine lead the way to their home with him following close behind her the short distance. Entering their home Gine led him to a large clear egg-like incubator against the wall with a young Saiyan infant sleeping inside, floating gently in the center of the clear bubbling nurturing fluid. "He''s grown big." Bardock proudly exclaimed aloud with a grin. "Yeah, he looks just like you, doesn''t he? Especially that unique hairdo." Gine replied humorously pointing at his head. "..." "..." After studying him and silently contemplating for a short while Bardock came to a decision and declared "I''ll go steal an attack pod at night. We''re going to launch him to a different planet tonight." "WHAT!" Gine exclaimed in disbelief before asking "Why do we have to do that now? Being an infiltration infant can be very dangerous?" "It''s for Kakarrot''s safety..." Bardock solemnly answered. "What? What do you mean his safety..." asked Gine confused. Pausing momentarily in thought, Bardock gazed up into the sky at Frieza''s fleet of space before saying "Frieza''s up to something... I sense the presence of death..." Seeing the solemn look upon Bardock''s face Gine fell silent before quietly saying "It''s not like you Bardock to be worried about your kid." "Hmph...I must of gotten it from you since your such a softy." Bardock replied with a warm smile as he looked away from the sky and faced towards her. 41 Friezas Worries Meanwhile in space aboard Frieza''s flagship in the command center sitting comfortably on his floating throne the hover pod gazing down on Planet Vegeta is a unique looking child-like alien with a likewise youthful face. His head was a large white chestnut-shaped skull with two straight black horns that protrude at near 45 degree angles. His body had purple sections on his head, shoulders, and abdomen. He also had pink parts with lines on his body which appeared on his arms, legs, and cheeks. He skin was lilac in color which was visible on his face, feet, and hands. His faces most arresting feature was his terrifying red eye pupils which brought a chill to ones soul and his large dark red lips in their perpetual state of a disdainful sneer which stood out in stark contrast to his light lilac toned skin. He wore white armor wristbands and ankle bands with brown sections with lines on the front on all four of his limbs. He also was girded with a white natural armor covering his chest and shoulders atop of which he wore the standard armor of Frieza Force, consisting of a purple body suit with yellow shoulder guards. Hanging over the edge of his hover pod was a section of his long tail which had a spiked end and was relatively thick in width, about the same width as his legs which ended with three talon-like possible toes for feet. This alien was the emperor of the universe, Frieza in his first form. While other beings in the Dragon Ball Universe would usually transform to increase their power, Frieza was born with power so immense that originally his body could not properly control it, and so Frieza developed a series of physical transformations to limit his actual strength. After many hours of internal contemplation he created four forms, with his fourth and final form being his true original form. The first three forms were the ones he had designed to restrict and conceal his true power from his enemies. Many a time he would claim in the future that even upon transforming to his second form he had a hard time controlling himself due to the immensity of his current strength. That was because his second and third forms were mere physical augmentations that allow Frieza to build enough strength to revert to his true form. It also was a sadistic method for him to mentally torment his opponents by giving them a false sense of hope. With each transformation his power would increase tremendously and he would fully rejuvenate and even repair any damage sustained in his previous form. Especially his fourth final form which released all of his power increasing his regenerative power to their highest level ever with him being able to even regenerate any previously lost anatomy. Wearing a menacing grin upon his youthful face, Frieza gazed down upon the doomed Planet Vegeta as his thoughts were filled with impatience and fear. Although he had been contemplating destroying these warrior space apes for quite awhile as a preventative measure to his rule he had continually delayed the issue for more than a decade because they had been such a helpful race of soldiers. Helping him immensely by shedding their blood to conquer thousands of world for him which had been sold for vast sums of money filling his forces coffers with immense wealth which fueled the gears of his war machine. Still as he watched their population numbers plummet thru the years of interplanetary conquest he had noticed a steady increase in the growth of their power. This coupled with the legends that were known thru the universe that even his parents had told him since he was a little boy of the Legendary Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God born once every new eon with immeasurable power had caused him to grow increasingly worried thru the years which is why he had secretly ordered many years ago that all equipment issued to the Saiyans was to be bugged so he could keep a close eye on these space apes. He liked being the emperor of the universe, feared by all beings and doing what he wanted. Which is why he would mercilessly eliminate any threat to his sovereignty of the universe. Now despite believing these legends were merely stories his fear had finally overshadowed all of his thoughts of still using these useful peons for he had begun to oddly sense the shadow of his doom from this race of battle crazed space apes. "Legendary Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God..." Frieza spoke aloud with displeasure. "Master Frieza, I''m sure they''re just the usual heroic legends we hear about all the time." assured the alien attendant behind him confidently. "I know. But I cannot overlook even the slightest possibility. Anyhow, the Saiyan race are a bit too proud to be truly loyal to me. It''s about time I wiped them out along with their planet." replied Frieza with a terrifying grin. "That is a pity. The Saiyans make really good warriors." acknowledged the alien attendant. "Hmph...indeed those primitive space apes were decent warrior peons." agreed Frieza indifferently before asking, "By the way, how many Saiyans have returned to Planet Vegeta so far?" "Most of them should be back in another month or so. But it will probably take a little longer for every single one to come back." answered the alien attendant informingly. "I CAN NOT WAIT THAT LONG! I WILL EXETERMINATE THESE SPACE APES TOMORROW MORNING!!!" Frieza ordered aloud impatiently while firmly slamming his right hand clenched in a fist down upon the side of his hover pod. For it had been too long since "that" person had commanded him to remove this planet from the universe and he knew quite well how fickle he was with time. Sometimes he was loose, giving much leeway to complete his orders while other times he was incredibly precise. Either way it was in his best interest health-wise if he finished this backwards planet and these untrustworthy and now greatly unliked by "that" person space apes as soon as bloody possible. "But won''t the surviving Saiyans suspect you Lord Frieza?" questioned the alien attendant. "HAHAHA suspect me ... Tell them a huge meteor fell on the planet." laughed aloud Frieza disdainfully. 42 Departure Of Goku! Later that night Bardock and Gine quietly jumped thru the night sky, leaping only a few dozen feet into the air, traveling effortlessly across the rugged terrain of Planet Vegeta as they made their way to the far side of the planet. Breathing heavily, Bardock carried a white space pod which he had stolen from the city''s port with his infant son Goku inside on his right shoulder. Despite being a older model it was reliable and would serve his purpose of carrying his youngest son Goku to safety. Still the stifling feeling of impending doom was growing stronger causing him to grow increasingly impatient as he began to speed up before landing. Noticing the look of worry on his face affecting her son Goku inside the attack pod thru the porthole as they landed Gine calmingly said to him "Calm down Kakarrot." Then turned and asked Bardock "Hey, why can''t we all escape somewhere together?" "We can''t Gine. They''ll find us easily with their scouters." replied Bardock grimly as he continued to leap forward. Finally they reached a suitable clearing to launched the attack pod safely. With a light "thump" Bardock set the attack pod on the ground gently then pressed a button on the exterior as he entered a series of coordinates into the pods navigation system. "I''ve programmed the pod to head for a distant planet called Earth. The planet has plenty of food, but the race there has a low technological and combat level so he should be able to survive there. Also the resources their aren''t worth much, so the Frieza Force probably won''t attack it. It''ll be the perfect place for him." Staring into the attack pod thru the porthole with tearful eyes, Gine stifled the urge to cry as she looked at her young son Kakarrot warmly, her hands on the porthole directly atop Kakarrot''s tiny hands inside the attack pod only separated by a few inches of see-thru material as she said reassuringly, "If Bardocks wrong we''ll come get you as soon as we can!" "Never forget, you mustn''t look up at the moon for too long." reminded Bardock solemnly to his infant son. "I''ll tell Raditz of this too." followed Gine. "Remember, you have to stay alive no matter what! And watch out for the Galactic Patrol!" Bardock repeated. "See you later!" said sorrowfully Gine. "Later..." solemnly said Bardock as he placed his hand atop his young infant sons. Then with a low whirl the attack pod slowly lifted into the air, slowly rising several dozen feet before pausing briefly as it blazed with white light before blasting into space leaving a faint trail of sparkling white light in its wake. As the attack pod blasted into space Gine ran forward a few feet as she looked up forlornly crying out desperately into the starlit midnight sky as she watched her little Saiyan son fly off into the unknown, "KAKARROT!!!" ...... As Broly watched the touching scene of Goku''s parents sending their infant son away to safety he felt himself filled with respect for such Saiyan parents who had gone against the norm for a Saiyan by protecting their child despite him being a weak, low-class Saiyan infant. This showed the potential for Saiyans to actually care for others despite their being no benefits for themselves in such a relationship. As Goku''s attack pod blasted off into space Broly internally waved goodbye, whispering to himself, "See you in a few years Kakarrot." Retracting his Ki Sense into himself, Broly turned to the eager Jewel who had finished her final feast on this doom planet, and began to explain the future events and his plan to escape. "Jewel, have you finished preparing the things I asked you for?" asked Broly. "Yes, I have them all here. A set of custom Saiyan combat attire, a matching custom Jewel original arm cannon and I''ve made the modifications to both are arm computers and scouters that you asked for, theoretically we should now be able to detect signs of Power Levels in excess of one trillion." "Excellent Jewel, as always pure perfection. I would expect nothing less from such a cute SUPER engineer like you Jewel." complimented Broly. "C-c-cute,...ah, he said it again today." mumbled Jewel as her face turned crimson with a cloud of white steam radiating off of it. Ignoring Jewel''s typical bashful display whenever he complimented her he continued speaking. "Now I have some rather disturbing new Jewel, tomorrow morning, a couple of hours from now, Frieza will destroy the planet and all the Saiyans here along with it." "WHAT! IMPOSSIBLE!" Jewel cried out in disbelief, snapping out of her daze with a look of shock and fear on her young beautiful face. "I''m afraid not Jewel. The day I''ve hinted at for the past few years is now upon us and it is time for us to begin are grand adventure and we will start by escaping this planet without Frieza discovering the fact that he had failed to successfully kill us during the planets destruction alongside the other Saiyans." quickly said Broly with a vicious glint in his eye. Taking a few deep breaths Jewel slowed her fearfully beating heart, calming herself down with the spiritual support of Broly''s confident reassuring gaze, then calmly asked, "So what''s you plan Broly?" Flashing her a winsome grin he opened his eyes and said mischievously, "well, it start with us stealing something...."
