A Pleasant Surprise (94)

The sky was a pleasant dark green colour, clouds moving by cheerily as the suns shone warm love onto the soft bluegrass.

Broly approached Ice City, a small briefcase held in his left hand as he cut through the air like a missile, now flying with little to no difficulty.

He entered the castle quickly, all too familiar with the crystalline layout.

'This planet has promise it would be nice if I could transform this place'

Broly had thought about it while he was browsing the Freiza Force archives, although he would be welcome of Planet Sythis, he wanted his own base of operations, a place that he had more or less complete control over and a place that he could come back to at any time.

Planet Mentels, while it was majorly underdeveloped for the most part, had an extremely valuable resource.

The ki crystals.

Broly was unsure what Queen Drizzle had done specifically while he was absorbing the Lightning but he knew that she had lied to him to some extent and let him suffer without guidance when he tried to absorb it.

On the one hand, he was annoyed that she didn't help him at all but on the other hand, Queen Drizzle was a small threat, all things considered, the type of person Broly could handle blindfolded.

'To be honest, I'm over it but for the sake of negotiations I'll pretend to be angry about it'

The Elemental Greatsword more than made up for the pain Broly felt, on top of looking vicious, it was seemingly made for Broly, allowing him to dump all the ki he wanted and produce various effects. Furthermore, his ki was able to evolve into a stronger energy, increasing his battle capabilities in ways he couldn't quantify yet.

'I'll have to make a sheath for it later'

What kind of barbarian makes a sword without a sheath.

"Mr Broly!"

A shocked voice called it as Broly set foot in the Royal Palace.

"Take me to the Queen, I won't ask twice," Broly said with a vexed expression.

'We're fucked!'

Although Broly asked one person, several people answered him, fleeing the throne room and beckoning him to come towards them.

'This is a nice place'

The walls were made of stone but adorned with Ice patterns, portraits of orange-skinned people lining the walls. There was a window in just about every corridor and there was a long bright red rug under his feet.

About six or seven servants, stopped at one door, a panicked expression on all their faces as they cleared Broly's way.

Broly pushed the door open confidently, moving past their startled bodies with no remorse.

His eyes landed on a focused Queen Drizzle, meditating quietly on her bed as her bright red hair raised in the air, her eyes that were naturally orange turning a deep shade of blue.

Broly looked at her, captivated for a few seconds before collecting himself.

He closed the door loudly, causing Queen Drizzle to open her eyes.

They locked eyes.

Queen Drizzle's face turned a ghastly shade of white as Broly's scowling face found her sight, causing her to tremble slightly, just barely resisting the urge to kneel and beg for her life.

"I have a proposition for you, dismiss it if you wish to die," he said clearly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the horizon of Planet Mentels, a thin prehensile object could be seen racing down towards the ground, a tiny rocket blasting through the air. The machine was not ki powered instead relying on nuclear reactions to propel forwards.

The moment it was about to hit the ground it stopped as a crimson red energy engulfed it, strangely rotating and then landing right-side up.

Baby squinted as he analysed the statistics for the third time.

'According to my calculations, Broly's power level right now should be at... 33.25 billion?'

Baby was perplexed at how Broly had managed to increase his power level so dramatically in such a short time-frame. Baby knew that it was unable to make mistake so that value was the ineffable truth.

The reason Baby knew this was because he had released a small mechanical bird onto Broly's ship, already calculating that the probability of Broly finding the bird was around 3.2 per cent.

The ship around Baby collapsed, revealing its short and thin frame with two other robots beside it. Both of them were much taller than Baby being completely white in colour, they looked humanoid for the most part, aside for the odd bumps and horns that appeared at their shoulders, they also sported lean muscle and angular faces.

Initially, Baby wanted to create separate mutant machines for different jobs but upon his seventh revision of his plan, he made them all into one being and on the twelfth revision, he made another one.

'Current probability of success...12%'

Baby frowned profusely.

The statistic despite all of his efforts was simply too low.

Following the accounts of the Saiyans on Planet Sythis, he learned that the Saiyans would essentially lose control over their bodies whenever they transformed which nulled any increase in power the transformation would give Broly. As they attacked and moved on instinct he would be able to manipulate the situation with his superior intelligence.

After all, Baby did not need to win, he just needed to cause a scratch.

'Detection Wave'

The same wave of crimson red ki that hit Tuffle city washed over the entire environment, moving tons of miles in seconds.

Baby's expression harshened severely when realising that the civilization on the planet was a primitive one but its spirits were lifted slightly on locking the exact position of Broly's ship.

It was very hard to miss.

Baby squinted once again as it detected the energy readings for the Earth underneath him, intrigued by the strange image the congruent data painted in his mind.

Baby soundlessly ordered G1 and G2 to start digging, their arms immediately enabling their multi-purpose functions and transforming into drills, ploughing into the soft rock easily. Baby's body dropped, to the ground, becoming a slime-like mixture and sliding into the holes his machines had made.

'Analysing crystalline compound.....!'

Baby was startled, re-analysing the results to make sure a mistake wasn't made.

'Checking metallic compatibility.....successful!'

'Initiating primary integration test...successful!'

'Initiating secondary integration test.....successful!'

'Re-evaluating probability of success.....47%!'

'Initiating extraction sequence!'

Baby, now aware of the potent and useful crystals trapped underneath the earth, rapidly began digging, locating and freeing hundreds of crystals at a rate faster than Broly. He quickly uploaded the instructions for the development of his body into his robots while he mined.

Baby cackled evilly as he slipped under the surface of the mines, analysing crystals of various elemental properties.
