Frieza Force? (66)

"Who are you?"

Cui started to panic internally.

'Lord Frieza said our Scouters had an upper limit of-'

Cui didn't even want to finish that train of thought.

'He has to be an anomaly, yes an anomaly who triggers a malfunction in the Scouters!'

Cui reassured himself and stood up approaching Broly confidently.

The rest of the Frieza Force soldiers cowered in the background fearfully, they didn't know the exact limit of the Scouters but they knew that the person in front of them should not be messed around with.

Broly looked at the strange purple-skinned alien in front of him and blinked lacing his eyes with ki trying to gauge the threat in front of him.

Broly was using ki sense, a technique that he had unconsciously used since he was a child, to him, it was such a basic and easy move that it couldn't even be described as a technique.

'I can't sense his ki at all?' Broly thought confusedly, he had considered himself very good at sensing ki and the judging strength accordingly but he really couldn't feel much of anything.

'Is he concealing his strength? Stay on edge!' Yami warned in his head.

Cui was about to speak but Broly beat him to it.

"What is your purpose on this planet?" Broly asked.

'Why is his voice so deep?'

Cui panicked again, any confidence he had immediately fleeing.

'What would happen if the rest of the people on this planet look and sound like him?'

Cui feared the possibilities.

"Well, S-Sir, we crashed landed on this Planet by mistake, we were actually sent someone to kindly ask whether we could borrow some supplies to get back into space," Cui said, hurriedly.

'Supplies?' Broly and Yami thought.

'They're just weaklings, they're not hiding their power at all, it's just so small that you could hardly sense it' Yami explained.

'Ah! Well we can at least get them out of the way by helping them with repairs' Broly thought, quickly closing his eyes.

He readied his mind and activated a ki wave, a big field of energy bursting out of his body immediately channelling through all the walls.

'Ack!'

Cui who was standing right in front of Broly bore the front of the blast, he was knocked back a few steps and he stared at Broly whose eyes were closed and tightened.

'Did I offend him?'

Cui looked at Broly confusedly, if he was going to make a move he had to do it quickly, he wasn't sure what Broly was doing but he was sure it wouldn't last for long.

Quiet grunts could be heard in the background as the wave of energy Broly released hit the other Freiza Force soldiers, all of them now sure the person they faced was out of their league. The concussed soldiers were sent over the edge and collapsed in their seats, knocked out. The rest of them cowered silently as they waited for Broly to make a move.

Cui looked at Broly, his eyes observing the heavy, exposed muscle on his body, a faint ki shield surrounding him.

'I can't win'

Cui didn't want to look like a coward in front of his own soldiers but he had no choice, the opponent in front of him was already using advanced techniques like shielding himself with ki.

He knew that he stood no chance.

After what seemed like an eternity, Cui spoke up.

"I surrend-"

Before he could finish speaking, Broly reeled his arm back, reaching for something.

'Shit! He's going to kill me anyway!' Cui said, closing his eyes trying to brace himself for the inevitable.

CLANK!

A large metal toolbox was caught by Broly's hand.

'Huh?'

Cui looked at the toolbox confusedly.

"Let's have a look at it," Broly said, indicating for Cui to lead the way.

Cui coughed twice, regaining his composure and walked Broly towards the navigation room.

'Why did you use telekinesis? If you ran there, grabbed it and ran back, it would have been faster!' Yami questioned.

'I have to practice it somehow!' Broly responded, walking past the frightened soldiers.

Broly laid eyes on the navigation system.

'Eh? What kind of antique is this?' Broly remarked startled, relatively certain he had seen a model like this in Tsufurian museums.

'Then stop wasting your time and blow up their ship, dead people can't complain!' Yami said cynically.

'You barbarian! They're innocent people who stumbled upon this planet by accident! I can't kill innocents!' Broly responded approaching the system.

Cui looked at the large man awkwardly, they had been in the room for more than 30 seconds now and he was yet to say anything.

'I'm so glad we sent the pilot instead of going ourselves' he thought, relieved.

'I'm going to have to upgrade their systems, no wonder they weren't able to stay on course when they were flying with this scrap'

'Geek!'

"Give me three minutes," Broly said to Cui.

'Three minutes? That's not nearly enough time to fix the systems!'

But Cui had no courage to voice his concerns.

"Yes sir!" he said aloud before hurrying out of the room.

'I would rather be a geek than a barbarian' Broly said to Yami.

'You're a failure as a Saiyan' Yami said bluntly.

Broly snickered.

'Can you help out with calibrating the mainframe? I think there's a Gordian knot in here somewhere,' Broly said, intentionally making fun of Yami.

'Wake me up when you're finished, this is too boring' Yami said, retreating into Broly's mind.

[5 minutes later]

"All done, sorry it took longer than I expected, I had to forcibly enhance your systems," Broly said apologising.

"Don't worry about it," Cui said hurriedly.

"Just punch in the coordinates and your set"

"Really? That simple?" Cui said, not believing.

Broly nodded.

"Say kid, you ever consider working for the Freiza Force?" Cui said trying to entice Broly.

Broly's expression crumbled and his face hardened.

"Why would I ever want to work with those people?" Broly said his eyes narrowing.

Cui's heart rate quadrupled as Broly's penetrating stare ran through him.

"It was a silly suggestion! But someone of your skillset would be able to do a lot of good in the universe! I just thought you would like the protection that's all!" Cui said.

He was trying his best to distance himself from the Freiza Force in the eyes of Broly but not abandon them completely as he was in front of his cowering soldiers.

Somehow it worked.

"Well that's all right then," Broly said leaving the spaceship.

"Uh wait!" Cui said stopping him.

Broly turned around, his face carrying light irritation.

"Could you help out the other ships as well, they're stuck in a similar situation," Cui said quietly, twiddling his thumbs.

Broly stared long and hard at Cui.

An idea appeared in Broly's mind.

"Sure! No problem," he responded, maybe a little bit too happily.
