The Story of Ba and Broly

Broly had spent long years living with his father, Paragus, on the harsh, barren planet Vampa, until one day he was recruited by Cheelai and Lemo and joined the ranks of Frieza's Army along with his father.

Broly slowly started to change after meeting others besides his father. When Broly witnessed a soldier from Frieza's Army mistreating Cheelai and Lemo, he flew into a rage and saved them both.

Thanks for the help earlier, Broly.

What? You want some water?

Give it here. ...This'll be easier.

Huh? Ordinary water.

Have you never had water before?

Ah. That fur thing of yours, right?

Ba was my friend. He was big. Bigger than this ship. I named Ba after the sound he would make sometimes.

Ba was scary, but every day, I would train by dodging his attacks. Over time, we became friends.

Grrrrrr...

Your first friend ever, huh?

This displeased father. Training with friends isn't training at all, he said. Then he shot Ba in the ear. Ba became angry.

Wow, Broly. You actually talked. A lot!

It's rare to hear something so moving. Especially here.

You're one of a kind, kid. Pure.

I bet you don't even like fighting, do you?

Broly's dad saw his potential and wanted to capitalize on it. Trained him against his will, I reckon.

Dear old dad thinks of you as a weapon, Broly.

A tool for revenge and making a name for himself.

What she said.

You shouldn't take orders from a man like that.

...

After that, Broly headed to Earth under Frieza's orders, where he encountered fellow Saiyans, Goku and Vegeta. Broly rapidly powered up while battling the two, and the death of Paragus later awakened Broly's Super Saiyan form. What followed was an epic clash transcending all limits!

Broly unleashed unimaginable power, yet struggled against Gogeta, the fighter born from Goku and Vegeta's fusion. To save Broly from the certain defeat, Cheelai and Lemo stole the Dragon Balls Frieza had gathered and summoned Shenron!

Cheelai's wish sent Broly back to Planet Vampa, ending the fierce clash among the Saiyans. Having betrayed Frieza, Cheelai and Lemo followed Broly, heading to Planet Vampa as well...

Whew... Morning at last.

Looks like the storm has passed.

Seems like nights are synonymous with bad weather.

Where on this planet could Broly be?

Ah, look. A grassland.

I can't believe grass could grow on this barren rock.

Huh?!

Those insect creatures are sucking something from the grassland!

Groooooooar!

Yikes! That's not grassland. It's some kind of giant beast!

The insect creatures live by sucking the beasts' blood, and in turn they serve as food themselves.

Yuck... This planet is disgusting...

Whoa! A bunch of them are coming!

Groooooooar!

D-Did that one just save us?!

Yeah, right. It probably just wanted to eat one of those creatures.

Hey! That beast is missing its left ear!

Could it be Broly's friend, Ba?

Aaaaaaagh!

Broly!

Grrr...

...

Thank you! Broly!

Groaaar...

...

Grrr...

H-Hey, Broly. Is that your friend, Ba, you mentioned a while back?

...

That's great! Broly!

Exactly!

Maybe you could patch things up with Ba!

Of course you can! Definitely!

We came after you.

From now on, we're also your friends, Broly.

A simple "Thanks" is fine!

And so their new lives bloom on Planet Vampa. Ba, Broly, Cheelai and Lemo formed a bond transcending species. Perhaps this could bring about some change in this harsh world, where survival had ever been the only way of life.
