Trouble in the Headquarters

As Broly waited for Alea to come out, few younger disciples walked passed him. They looked and whispered among themselves. They seemed to think that he was about to have a bad time. Slowly a small crowd had formed around Broly. Suddenly the crowd parted, making way for a mature looking woman. She had shoulder-long smooth red hair and long legs. Like Alea she was well-toned, although her sizes were comparably smaller, she gave off a kind but also fierce vibe in her battle armor. She was slightly taller than Alea. As she walked towards Broly, many of the boys were staring at her swaying butt. Although she gave off kindness, no one seemed to dare to approach her.

"Hello Broly. Long time no see." She smiled brightly at him.

"Cana? Man, what the fuck happened to you girls?"

"Hm? What do you mean?" She tilted her head confused.

"You both became really cute. I can't help but feel tempted to…"

"What?! Me, cute- I hehe..."

He looked at her flustered expression with a smile.

"How have you been?" Being spoken to, she came out of her dazed state.

"I have been great, thanks to you."

"Hm? I have been away for the last 6 months though and before that I only trained you."

"True and that was the best thing someone could have done to me. To be honest after you forced me to see the truth, I was kind of lost and wanted to make it up to you, be useful. After the time you trained me and just left to go on your journey, I realized that you didn't want anything in return. Sigh. It really took me too long to realize that I had a place where I belonged to. People who supported me unconditionally."

"But I did try to kill you so-"

"Which only showed how truly upset you were about me. Maybe you really wanted to kill me, but the fact is that you saved me instead. If you hadn't meant it, my life would probably have been worse than death. Only with your truest intent, you were able to pull me out of that dark place. This is why I wanted to thank you."

She stepped closer and held his hands, looked him in his eyes and smiled.

"Broly, thank you for saving me."

Thud-thud.

Broly could hear his heart beat, looking into her sincere eyes.

'There it is again. My emotional energy is agitated? The flow of energy is going down to my lifeforce center and…'

The door suddenly opened and Alea stepped out, interrupting Broly's thoughts. He looked at her and saw Alea in her battle armor. Although he saw that armor numerous times in the past, he couldn't help but feel happy, as it was tightly hugging her figure.

Cana distanced herself, after Alea came out, but still had a bright smile on her face. Alea moved her squinted eyes between the two.

"Alright let's go." Broly turned around and started walking, as the girls followed behind, each of them on one side.

Broly was leading the two and headed towards the cafeteria. The crowd parted a path for them, only a group of three Saiyans seemed determine to stand in their way.

"Alea, who is that? I already said that I won't tolerate any other male friends of yours! You are my future wife! You should accept your fate. We are the future royalties and not a nobody like him should be near you. We are the future royalty-"

The guy in the middle, kept babbling on and on. Broly didn't seem to bother at first but as he said that he was a nobody, Broly fixated his gaze on him.

Alea and Cana looked at each other and could read each other's expression. 'This will not end well.'

"A nobody?" His eyes turned yellow. The fellow felt like the gaze pierced through him, as his back was getting wet from sweat. His knees became wobbly, as he took a few steps to the side.

"I am a Legend." Broly said to him as he passed by. The guy fell to the ground and seemed to leak a bit.

Alea caught up to Broly and wanted to explain that kids' identity.

"Broly that kid wa-"

"I don't care."

It was a short answer, but it conveyed much more than it appeared. Alea understood what he meant. He didn't bother, no it should be that he thought of the politics and identities of people as insignificant. Broly was always striving for strength, it should be obvious that he doesn't value arrogant people who rely on their background. Alea thought about something Broly said to Taro when they were training together.

'You are chatting away about how you are confident that you will be the strongest, but it is only arrogance when you aren't able to back it up.'

Of course, Broly beat Taro up afterwards.

As she reminisced about the past, she saw Cana do the same with a slight smile on her face as she gazed at his back. She looked at Broly and thought that his shoulders seemed to be broader…

They quickly arrived in the cafeteria, got some food and started to eat away. While they were devouring their food unlike their previous imposing image they displayed, Broly asked them about Taro and Aize. They told him that they were in space investigating a rift. It seemed that it was quite stable and could potentially be used to leave this planet. Since it is dangerous in space, they sent the strongest up there to analyze it. Alea and Cana were supposed to be there as well, but they had just come from another mission which ruled them out for now. The majority of the Saiyans who had the black liquid inside them, were also sent up into space and the trip usually took a few months.

They were eager to experience a thrill and were bored to hunt down wildlife, so they jumped at the first invitation to go investigate a dangerous area with the additional reward of finding a way to leave this planet.

Broly then asked them about their progress in their mastery of their Super Saiyan. After overcoming their initial difficulties of becoming a Super Saiyan, Alea was the fastest to gain strength afterwards, quickly surpassing Cana. Taro was close behind her strength wise and Aize lacked behind the most.

Although he still gained Super Saiyan shortly after the others, his overall strength was the weakest among them, but he could close the gap to Taro in a fight, as he was more of a strategic fighter. Against Alea and Cana, he had more difficulties as they weren't relying solely on their strength unlike Taro.

Now after a few years of mastering Super Saiyan, Alea and Cana broke through the next level, attaining Super Saiyan 2. It appeared that Cana was now very good at using her emotions and was quickly able to reach the next level with the advice Broly had given them in the past. Alea was just talented and was able to go to the next level after training to the extreme.

Taro and Aize were on the verge of breaking through, but they still needed some time to do so.

Broly estimated that they should be only a bit weaker than Kakarot and Vegeta in the Buu saga.

"Did anybody else show up that can turn Super Saiyan, or at least have the potential to become one?"

"Not really the generation after us, are rather weak to be honest. The strongest hovers around 400 thousand and he is already 15. It will take a while before someone talented shows up again." Cana continued with a frown.

"After the war there was no external threat and with no one challenging us, the new generation got laid-back. They don't have a sense of threat and think of themselves above everyone else, only because the other races give us some face. It starts to be annoying talking to them."

"Don't you send them to do missions?" Broly asked as he became more dissatisfied with what he heard.

"Well, yes but only that are far below their strength. The upper-level doesn't want to lose more of younger generation, as we are still few in numbers."

"Tch. How does it help to have numbers, if we are too weak to defend ourselves?"

Broly complained.

Cana gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"They entertain the thought to stay here…"

"What nonsense! We are proud Saiyans! Have they forgotten what race they belong to!" Broly slammed his fist on the table, instantly turning it into dust.

Alea began to speak after the dust settled.

"Broly the father of the kid you beat up was from the leader of the department of trade, he and a bunch of other Saiyans have made a pact with some of those who had their strength risen through the black liquid, to take control of the headquarters. We got wind that they prepared for the moment we went through the rift."

"How did you get to know of this and why didn't you do anything if you knew about it?"

"We still have many loyal eyes in other apartments, they are especially loyal to Gine as she had saved many lives back in the day. We haven't gotten any concrete evidence. We only know that it stems from the father, since he is one of the weaker Saiyans, who would be in trouble if we made contact with the outside world again. We think that he fears to lose his power as soon as we do. But we can't just imprison them without evidence, it would cause displeasure among the other Saiyans and-"

"You sound like a human."

"Human?"

"Who told you that we need evidence to justify our actions?"

"Eh? The city lord said that most races would become displeased with a government that suppresses other opinions and since our race was becoming more gentler, we thought it would be a good idea to listen to him-"

"Indeed. He's right, the city lord is wise but he's not a Saiyan. He won't understand us, just because he read about us. Although we became more laid-back and gentler, we are still Saiyans! Even the kindest Saiyan would feel his blood boil, seeing an epic battle. The will to strive for strength and battle is deeply rooted in us. Only because we are in peace doesn't mean we have changed. As for that guy and his group, they are not fit to be called Saiyans. It seems I have to remind our race, who we are."
