Baby (57)

Dr Barrel wiped the sweat off his brow and admired his creation.

Baby was a four-foot-five android.

He had dark blue skin that glistened under the dim lighting of the secret laboratory. Baby appeared to be wearing a chest plate, a light blue material covering its pectorals as its dark blue abs poked out, hinting at its combat capabilities. Baby's hands were balled up into to fists and its feet laid flatly on the ground itching to be powered.

Baby also had a strange yellow-red patterned neck guard, the same pattern also decorating its gauntlets around its wrists and guards around its ankles, appearing finally above its left eye, eyes that turned thoughtlessly into space as its solid hair swooshed down, just out of his eye-line. It had deep-black eyes that had red-lines going through the irises, its body also adorned with markings that concealed hidden weapons.

"He's ready!" Dr Barrel said excitedly, Dr Barrel had already paid off one of Queen Nana's spies who instantly assisted him in placing a tracer on Broly's ship. While sneaking Baby into the ship was too difficult, determining the location of it was not and so Dr Barrel wired the tracker into Baby who glistened ominously twitched ominously, standing in place.

Dr Console, while he had helped, wanted to do as little as possible with the production as possible and so he packaged the parts and instructions for Baby and delivered them to a discrete location where Dr Barrel collected them.

In the first place, he was the inventor for Baby although he had worked with a troublesome man named Dr Myuu who tried and failed to claim rights.

A wide smile bloomed on Dr Barrel's face, the first smile he had made in months came upon him, he sat back down at his desk and checked his computer, looking for the location of Broly's spaceship.

Dr Barrel's eyes widened.

'He's already taken off!'

Dr Barrel knew at some point Broly would be flying into the universe, in fact, he even counted on it as that was a much more suitable location for Baby to possess Broly however he didn't expect it to happen already!

Queen Nana hadn't even announced him leaving!

Dr Barrel was lost in thought, wondering what his next course of action was.

'I'll have to build a spaceship for Baby and send him after Broly' he thought deciding on what to do.

Dr Barrel tiredly left his office and made his way home, done for the day.

Baby stood, in the middle of Dr Barrel's office, deactivated.

Crimson red ki surfaced on the edge of Baby's skin, the cold and chilling life energy powering him. His eyes opened foggily, the black metallic containers filling up turning blood red and he lifted up his arm, gripping the air in front of him tightly.

'The Broly Tuffilization Plan is already in effect!'

Baby moved his body around, stretching its muscles and exploring his range of movements.

'Form Test concluded, Results: Satisfactory'

Baby silently levitated into the air as crimson red ki engulfed his body, the raw energy allowing him to fly.

'Ki Test concluded, results: Exemplary'

Baby then dropped, his blue feet landing on the ground as he brought his index and middle fingers to his temple.

'Detection Wave!'

A thin transparent hemisphere of energy formed around Baby and then rushed out, passing through the wall and the ceiling allowing Baby to see any technological thing it touched. The thin wave quickly passed through Tuffle City, the position of every device, object and person now engraved in his mind through the help of various tracking devices.

'Technological Security Test concluded, results: Passable'

Baby blinked, quickly using the various devices in his control as portals to access Skynet.

'Virus detected!' the Tsufurian Supercomputer, underneath Tuffle Queen Palace whirred loudly as it detected Baby.

Baby hurriedly downloaded all the data on Skynet, compressing it at the same time and then encrypted it and stored it in a physical fresh data bank that existed in the Technological Department.

'Virus lost! Scanning all data...data unharmed, event recorded' the Tsufurian Supercomputer whirred again as it continued to search for Baby.

Baby then downloaded the first batch of data in order of recency to its own physical data stores, in a few seconds he unzipped the data and decrypted it, finding out what happened on Planet Sythis in the last few months.

Baby stood in the middle of Dr Barrel's office, seemingly staring into space as it sorted the through information, rapidly approaching the footage of the tournament that took place a few months ago.

"Commencing Body Comparison Test....incompatible"

Baby murmured as it sorted through the Saiyans, finding their lack of brainpower and older bodies unfit for possession. Its primary purpose was to possess Broly but Dr Barrel hadn't completed him yet so Baby had no idea what Broly looked like, only having some incomplete data Dr Barrel had managed to string together.

'Compatibility Detected, rating...100% compatible'

But Baby was a sentient AI.

"Commencing Ki Composition Scan"

'Scan complete'

'Searching for a successful match in Tuffle City...search failed'

'Searching for Saiyan DNA...Searching Succesful'

'Locating DNA samples...Location Found'

Baby continued to work quietly in the room, occasionally murmuring to stimulate the brain portion of its processor, performing various activities in Tuffle City while the Tsufurian Supercomputer followed his trail, trying to shut him down.

In the morning Dr Barrel entered his office startled, seeing several tiny mutant machines he didn't recall making all operating on Baby.

As the door closed behind him, a small mutant machine walked towards him and stopped in front of him, offering a formal salute.

It was a basic machine, looking like a mini-tsufurian with a white paint job.

"I have made a series of adjustments to Creator's invention in order to carry out Creator's order more effectively!" the mutant machine started clearly and then moved back to Baby.

There was only really a few adjustments left to make to Baby and for the most part, he was done yet Baby had autonomously decided to tweak itself.

'Technology is truly a scary thing' Dr Barrel thought as he watched the mutant machines operate on Baby, many crates with biological samples and chemical mutagens opened and being used by various helpers to enhance Baby.

'My credit card!' Dr Barrel thought, hurriedly checking his smartphone, he had briefly considered putting his personal details into Baby just to save him time but didn't think of the possibilities.

Sure enough, he saw a massive sum of money within his bank account relaxing temporarily only to see a small "-" in front of his balance.

"Fuck!" he called out, quickly trying to contact his bank before any more money could be taken out.
