Physical Struggles (31)

WAP!
Broly's fist collided with the level 5 android producing a crunch.
'Tch! It's still so hard!'
The android didn't flinch and then punched Broly faster than he could see, Broly stood his ground, trying his hardest to stand up under the shower of punches.
Broly then covered his fist with ki and punched in the direction of android.
The android dodged seemingly vanishing and smashed it's leg down against Broly's head.
Broly's legs buckled as his muscles tensed to keep him standing, he winced for a second, slowing down as his body processed the impact that shuddered through him.
WAP!
The android sunk its fist into Broly's little chest lifting him into the air, it then covered its right leg in ki and smashed its foot against Broly three times pushing his whole body back.
"Kuah!"
Air was forced out of Broly's lungs as he helplessly flew backwards in the air.
The android wasn't done yet, it covered its whole body in ki and dashed towards Broly, shooting one ki beam that pressed Broly into the opposite wall.
Broly gritted his teeth, barely landing on his feet.
"Again!" he said approaching the Android who in turn charged towards him vehemently.
"He's been like this for 3 hours," Dr Limiter said bluntly to Paragus who watched Broly get elbowed through the sparring room windows.
'If he could use his ki freely, he would have beaten the droid a long time ago' Dr Limiter thought wistfully.
Broly had managed to brute force his way through Android level 3 and 4, after consecutive injuries and healings his body hardened in combat.
Broly had been struggling to control his ki efficiently in battle and especially against an opponent who had near-perfect ki mastery, robotic martial execution as well as a stronger and faster body it was a miracle Broly was still standing.
"He's still worried about Freiza isn't he?"
"I told you that you shouldn't have told him, he's too young!"
It had been a nightly routine for Paragus to tell Broly stories before bed and eventually, the topic deviated to Planet Vegeta.
"I didn't want to lie to him," Paragus said honestly.
"Again!" Broly roared, getting back to his feet.
"Look where that has got you," Dr Limiter said critically.
"We're going to discuss at Tuffle Queen Palace, this evening, make sure he does his homework," Paragus said leaving.
"You know I can't get him out of there," Dr Limiter said helplessly.
Paragus sighed as he walked towards the castle.
Paragus arrived at the palace, a flash of guilt in his eyes.
'As adults, it's our job to protect him, not the other way around'
Paragus entered the throne room and he saw Aspa and Celery seated in casual clothes near in each other. Mushro and Queen Nana were also there, both wearing royal silky nightdresses.
"Paragus you finally arrived," Celery said flatly.
"Broly is worried about Freiza, he's been training non-stop since I told him and I just went to check up on him," Paragus said, shame detectable in his voice.
"And for good reason! Freiza is a monster," Mushro said, emotion tingling within his eyes.
"How strong is Freiza?" Queen Nana said leaning against Mushro's shoulder, unconcerned about the whole matter. The Saiyans had arrived nearly six years ago and Freiza up till now still hadn't appeared. As a Queen, she had to stay several steps ahead and so she had already arranged emergency measures to ensure the Tuffles safety and dedicated a self-learning AI to develop these measures.
This was all done a year after the Saiyans arrived.
At this point, she was certain that even if a thousand Freizas attacked the Planet Sythis they would still have a way to escape.
She rubbed Mushro's back affectionately and Mushro understood the message.
"Frieza's power level was never confirmed but it can't be under a 500,000," Celery said caution present in her eyes.
"So low?" Nana said disinterestedly.
"Low?! That's the highest recorded power level in the entire database!" Aspa said, slightly triggered.
"Our most powerful robot: Baby has a power level of 2 million and Mushy's power level reached 90,000 this year, if he goes into his giant monkey form then he could easily take Freiza," Nana said softly, her interest in Freiza long dead.
'His power level's at 90,000!' Celery and Aspa thought at the same time.
"That's higher than mine!" Paragus accidentally blurted out.
"Is it now?" Nana said a provocative smile forming on her face as she embraced Mushro further, now rubbing against him.
Mushro could only smile wryly as this was not how he wanted to announce his progress. The Saiyans truly had a steep learning curve, although Tsufurian training facilities were advanced, he could only jump so far at one time, his body still had a limit, no matter how high it may be.
"In any case, we can't control our Great Ape Form so it may not be as useful as you think," Celery said, rebutting Nana's point.
"Make a device that helps Saiyans control their great ape form, noted, I'm sure freelance inventors will appreciate the inspiration," Nana said dryly.
The Saiyans were silent.
Maybe it was because they had met Freiza but they were sure that the matter wasn't as simple as Queen Nana made it seem, their instincts warned them that they shouldn't take Freiza lightly at all.
"We can't continue to stay like this we're getting soft, we need to really focus on increasing our strength as Freiza could appear at any moment," Paragus said wisely.
Celery and Aspa couldn't disagree with Paragus, life on Planet Sythis was so easy, they had gotten complacent and enjoyed life too much, completely forgetting that Freiza could swoop in and kill them at any moment.
Mushro couldn't wipe off the 'Speak for yourself' look on his face, behind the scenes he had worked hard to overtake Paragus in battle power and was a bit disappointed that his fellow Saiyans couldn't even say 'well done'.
A cold silence descended on the Saiyans.
Queen Nana sat up and whispered into Mushro's ear, his face turned bright red and he then said: "If there isn't anything else to say, you are all free to go".
Aspa, Celery and Paragus didn't waste time and promptly left the palace.
