Part 12, Chapter 4: Super Warrior Broly

Hey, look what we have here! Haven't seen you for a while...

We were sure that you'd abandoned us.

Perish the thought... I should have you know that I think very highly of you both.

There aren't many warriors around that have what it takes to deal with Shallot after all...

Nice to see that someone gets it! Don't worry, we've got an ace up our sleeves that's sure to take that punk down.

So? What do you want? I know you didn't come here just to flatter us.

Right, let's get down to business.

We've managed to find some clues as to the whereabouts of your brother. I expect you'll be able to see him again soon enough.

What?! You serious?! Man, you really kept us waiting!

We're making good progress in our search. I'll be in touch when I have more information to share.

"Good progress", huh?

That sounds pretty fishy to me!

Huh?

I see...

We're only working with you in exchange for finding our brother. That's the deal!

So I'm not too fond of him being used as an excuse just to keep us around!

I know what you're capable of. If you really felt like it, you could find our brother in no time. Isn't that right?

...

Sorry to disappoint you, but I've got a knack for sniffing out ulterior motives.

Hmph...that's quite a nose you have there... Fine, what is it that you want?

Haha, I like guys that catch on quick! Don't worry, it's nothing difficult.

We just want an invitation to your base...to see you hard at work with our own eyes!

Ahh, so that's it... You wish to see if I truly am searching for your brother.

No, no, you misunderstand... We just wanna be friends, that's all.

If you really do think as highly of us as you say, this should make you happy! Hyehehe!

As you wish... I shall grant you the privilege of coming to meet me... May this be the beginning of a beautiful friendship... Hahaha...

You just keep getting dragged into fight after fight. You'll never be able to find allies at this rate.

That's just the world we live in. I'm sure we'll only find more as we continue searching.

While I may be to blame for some of those setbacks, I agree with Giblet.

You should leave this place soon. There's no telling how many enemies might be on their way here right at this moment.

Yeah, this area's dangerous, and we need to search for Broly. What're you gonna do, Nuova?

I...

I promised you a rematch, didn't I? I need to train... I need to get stronger...

I like the sound of that! And don't worry, next time I'll win all by myself.

Ha... I look forward to that.

At this rate, I don't think you'll be able to keep that promise.

...?!

Nuova, right? You can quit the tough guy act. You're in a lot more pain than you're letting on, aren't you?

...

Haha... Saw right through me, didn't you?

What?! N, Nuova, you...! Have you been toughing it out this entire time?!

I didn't...want you to see me in such a miserable state...

Grr...! Cheelai, is there anything you can do for him?

What do you expect me to do?! My first aid won't work on injuries this bad!

You could take him to the city... Although with his high body temperature, there's a chance that a fire could break out.

Even so, if we just leave him here, he's sure to be preyed upon by any fighter who happens to drop by...

Our only option is to wait here until he recovers. We can protect him if the need arises.

I guess that's all we can do...!

I'm sorry Cheelai. We'll have to hold off on searching for Broly for a little bit.

Oh, it's fine! It is what it is, so don't worry about me!

Besides, this planet isn't nearly as hostile as the one Broly lived on. He might even be enjoying himself here!

Hm? What kind of planet was he on?

Water and food are scarce, there are these weird bug-like creatures, and also this huge beast. That's the kind of place it is.

Wow, a huge beast, huh? Now you've got my attention. I bet it tastes delicious!

Whatever you do, don't mention that to Broly when you meet him. That beast was his friend.

Even now, he's got a fur pelt from it wrapped around his waist. It's his most prized possession.

Huh? He wears his beast friend's pelt around his waist?!

Yep. I told him to throw it away though because it smells pretty funky, but...

Wait, it smells too? What kind of smell? Can you describe it?

Uhh...I don't remember! Why are you so interested in smells all of a sudden?

Because I figured it out! I know how we're gonna find Broly!!

You're gonna find him by scent?! You can do that?!

You betcha! You shoulda mentioned earlier that Broly was wearing something so easy to sniff out!

Easy to sniff out...? Why on earth would I think that would be of any use to you?!

I know how you feel...

So you're telling me that we'll be able to find Broly in no time?

That's the idea! Once Nuova's back on his feet, we can get out there and start looking again!

Oh, right... I almost forgot! This isn't the time to be worrying about Broly...hahaha...!

...

I can handle things here.

Huh?

You guys can go on ahead without me and look for that Broly guy.

A, Are you sure?

There's no reason for all of us to wait here...

And I owe you one for what you did during our fight against Syn Shenron.

Well...when you put it that way...!

I guess that settles that! I'll leave Nuova to you, but you better not mess up, alright?

Hmph! You're the one I'm worried about! Are you sure you'll be okay without me?

Heh! Just watch! I'll find Broly and be back before you know it!!

I'm really sorry about this...! You had to leave your brother so soon after your reunion...

Don't sweat it! I'm just looking forward to finally meeting this Broly guy you keep going on about!

I'm still worried about Giblet. Will he really be okay by himself?

He'll be fine! You've seen how strong he is! I don't think there's anything he can't handle!

In that case, I'll be counting on that nose of yours, Shallot! Now let's find Broly!

You got it! We can take care of any bad guys along the way too!

It should be...this way! Oh yeah, I've never smelled a beast like this before!

That's incredible...! I can't smell a thing!

I know, right? Shallot's nose is on another level!

I just need to sniff for animals that aren't from Earth!

I've pretty much got the scents of this planet's animals memorized, so it'll be a piece of cake.

Who knew you had such a good memory?

...! This stench...

What?! Did you find him already?!

No...

But I found a couple of losers that're coming this way!

Hya-haa!!

Whoa?!

Hey, watch it!! How many times are you gonna try and jump me out of nowhere?

You dogs!!

You watch it!! How many times do we have to tell you we're not dogs?!

Whatever... That detestable attitude of yours ends today...!

This time, we've prepared something special to kill you with... Hehehe...!

What's up with these dogs?!

Didn't you hear me?! I said we're not dogs!! Why do idiots always have to travel in pairs?!

I don't care what you say, you look like a pair of mangy mutts to me!

Jeez...give me a break! We just started looking for Broly again...!

I don't have time to play fetch! But I'll gladly send you home with your tails between your legs!!

You're gonna regret underestimating us, you punk!!

Yeah, just wait till you see what we've got in store for you!!

Suu!!

...!

Bwaa!!

You'll have to do better than that!

Gya?!

Gueh?!

Hmph! I'll admit, you've gotten a little better, but you still don't stand a chance against me!

You bastard! How dare you make fools of us?!

Stop fighting like fools then if you hate it so much! More bite, less bark!

E, Enough with the dog stuff!!

Wow...those dogs are pretty strong!

Although what's with this playground-level trash talk...?

You really love running your mouth, don't ya?! I guess some things never change.

Better enjoy it while you can!!

You seem pretty confident... Is this that "special something" you mentioned?

Oh, it's a doozy! Watch closely now, I'd hate for you to miss it!

(Tch... Just what are they plotting this time?)

(My nose is no good to me here... All this smoke that guy spewed out is getting in the way. I'll have to rely on my eyes for now!)

It's time, Brother!!

Got it!!

Come at me!!

Now!!

What?

Ahhhh?!

...?!

He he he...! That was easier than I thought!!

H, Hey! Let me go!!

Huh?! Cheelai?!

Hyahaha! What do you think?! This is our secret plan!!

What?! That's the oldest trick in the book!

That's right! And I'd wager that you're the only one that it would work on!

We know how much you like playing the hero! Hyahahaha!!

Grrrrr...!!

He he he... You can't lay a finger on us now!!

How about you lose the red hair for us first...!

Ngh...!!

Do it!! Or we'll put some holes in that lady of yours!

Da!!

Dammit...!!

Goood...! Easy does it...!!

Now then... How should we finish you off...?

I could give you a nice poison bath and watch as you die a slow, painful death! Hyahahaha!!

Do what you want with me, but you have to promise to let Cheelai go!

Ha...! Even as you face death, you're worried about someone else. How disgustingly kind of you!

We can promise you that much. We still owe you for that food you gave us after all.

Cheelai!!

...?!

Wh...Who was that?!

Gahhhh!!!

Daaa?!

Wha?!

B, Brother?!

Master Lavender?!

That voice...! I don't believe it...!!

Broly!!

Aaargh...!!

Haa...!!

Hroah!!

What the...?!

What's with this guy?!

(Was that...his Ki...?!)

How dare you do that to my brother!!

...

He's...not listening to me at all!

Let...Cheelai...go!

What?! Speak normally would ya?! Don't think you can act all tough just 'cause you've got some muscle!

W...Wait!! There's no way you can beat this guy!!

That's what you think!! But I've got this...!!

Hnng...!

Wroaaah!!!

Hm...!

Now take this!!

Wolfgang Pressure!!!

Haha!! How'dya like that?!

Hmph...!!

What?! Not even a scratch?!

Gaah!!

Guhaaa?!

Ho...!!

W...Wow!

Grrr...! What's his problem?!

Ugh...! Brother!! This...

...is bad! I know!

(Tch... We can't hold onto a hostage like this...!)

Screw it! Fall back!!

...!! That hole?! It's the same one that Frieza and Syn escaped through!

Hehe! That's right! It's a good thing your ol' buddy told us how to use it!!

What?!

We'll be back, ya hear?! And next time, you won't be so lucky!!

W, Wait!!

Huh...?! Master Lavender, Master Basil?! Don't leave me here!!

You...!

Hyeeh?!

Let her go...now!!

Oh no...oh crap...!!

He...he...! I've been abandoned... Guess all that's left is to run...!

Hey, Mr. Saiyan! I'll leave the rest to you, okay?!

What?! Y, You!!

Wait!! ...Shallot! Broly!!

That bastard!! He's trying to make me look like the bad guy here!

You... You're with them!!

...!!

(His Ki's jumped up again...! I'm gonna have to fight if I don't do something quick!)

H...Hey! Can you just wait a minute?! I'm not...!!

I will not wait!!

Out of my way!!

Daaah!!

Ugh...!

Owwww!! Just calm down and listen to me!!

Oh no...this is bad...! I need to clear things up!

You're gonna get in between those two freaks?! What are you, crazy?!

Shut up! If you wanna run, be my guest!! I'm going back!!

You're a hostage, remember?! Without you around, that monster's gonna kill me dead!

How's that my problem?! Just let me go already!!

(...!! Dammit...!! Cheelai's getting further and further away...!)

Nuahh!!!

Gah?!

I said just wait a minute! If you keep fighting me, you're gonna lose sight of Cheelai!!

You want to save her, don't you? So go bash that guy around instead of me!!

Wrooaahh!!

Guuhh!

(What's this guy's deal?! It's like he can't even hear me!)

Haaa...haaa...!!

Urrrrrrgh...!!

(And his Ki just keeps rising...! At this rate, Cheelai will be long gone before he calms down...!)

Argh...fine!! We'll do things his way!

Sorry, bud, but if you won't calm down, I'll just have to beat you down.

Wroah!!

Hmph...!!

(...?! It didn't work?!)

Raagh!!

Gahh?!

(How...?! His attacks are even stronger than before! And he's more agile too!!)

(I can't afford to pull any punches! Time for Super Saiyan God...!!)

Nguhh!!

(...?! I'm not gonna make it!!)

Daryah!!

Gwaaahhh?!

Haaa!! Haaa!!

Ngh...! Chee...

Chee...lai...

Right...! Cheelai!!

Must find her...!!

...

Argh...haa...!! I thought I was...a goner for sure...!

(I know Cheelai said he was strong, but I've never seen this kind of strength before...!)

(It's dangerous.... If I just let him rampage, who knows what'll happen...)

Come on! Just leave me here, okay?!

Q, Quiet you! Why would I take orders from my own hostage? That's not how this...!

Found you!!

...!

Hy...?! Hyeeeeeeeh?!

Grrr...!

S...Stay back!! Or I'll kill the girl!!

...! Ah...!!

Hey...! Stop that!! Broly doesn't mean you any harm...

You expect me to believe that?!

Now, now, how about you just play nice and behave? Or better yet, how about a nap?!

Gyeeahh?!

...?!

Sh...Shallot!!

*pant* *pant* Man...! I really took a beating...

Although, I only managed to save you thanks to Broly, so I guess it all worked out in the end! You alright, Cheelai?

You betcha! Freedom at last!

Thank you, Shallot!

He's...not bad...?

Took ya long enough! No, I'm not your enemy!

Well, to make a long story short, Shallot's my friend, and he's a Saiyan like you!

I...see...

...

Uhh...

Huh?

I'm...sorry... For hitting you...

Haha! Forget it! I'll be fine after a quick rest! I've trained myself to bounce back from a few knocks to the head!

I actually wouldn't mind fighting you some more later!

Okay...!

God...! While you two were having fun fighting, I was almost kidnapped!

That's just Saiyans for you.

But now that we've found Broly, we can move on to the next part of our plan, right?

Oh, uhh...Broly! I know this might be sudden, but do you think you could help us?

You've noticed it too, haven't you? The fighting that's going on in this universe, it's not right, and we're gonna stop it!

...

I...can't...

Huh?

Dad...

I need to find my dad...!

Your dad?

Broly...don't you remember? Your dad...

Wait! He might be in this era too!

He's here...I think...!

I know how you feel! I'll bet that he's somewhere just waiting to be found!

Yeah...

My dad's amazing... He taught me so many things.

How to speak, how to live... So many things...

So he's like your master, then? Sounds like your old man's a pretty incredible guy!

...! Yeah!

Did he teach you how to fight too?

Just a little... I got stronger by training with Ba!

Ba? I've never met anyone called that, but they sound super strong!

This is Ba's ear... Ba's a big animal, a giant...

That fur around your waist is an ear? That's one hell of an animal! I'd love to see it sometime! Haha!

...

(As far as I'm concerned, Broly's father and his upbringing are absolutely sickening...)

(...but I know he doesn't have many fond memories, so I'll just let him reminisce.)

Oh?

I'm...hungry...

You've gotta be kidding me... You're telling me you did all that on an empty stomach?!

I need to...hunt...

Broly, it's fine! You don't have to go hunting on this planet!

You can get something to eat in a nearby city, our treat!!

No need! We can scrounge together our own grub just fine!!

Huh? Why?!

Well, it's faster that way! And besides, after hearing how hungry Broly is, my own stomach's starting to rumble!!

Didn't you just eat in the city?!

Okay, Broly! I'm gonna teach you how to find food on this planet!

...! Really?

You betcha! I heard that your planet only has bugs and beasts on it.

Well this planet has got way more for you to sink your teeth into!! Like fruits, or fish!!

Fruits...? Fish...?

You've never heard of them? Guess I better teach you, then. Come with me!

Phew! I'm stuffed!

That was...good...!

Fruits...and fish... So much to eat on this planet! I want to tell my dad!

I hear ya! When it comes to food, this planet's got everything!

The cities have some pretty good stuff too, but sometimes you've just got to get your own grub to keep those instincts sharp!!

I think most normal people would be fine without those instincts! You really are just like a wild animal...

Shallot...

Thank...you...

Haha! Did you learn that from Cheelai? It's no biggie, I didn't teach you much!

It's nice to see that you two are already best friends!

So, what are you going to do next? Broly wants to look for his dad, right?

Hmm... In that case, I want to help him find his old man! How about you, Cheelai?

Me? Uhh, you see... The thing is...

There's no need for those without a future to make plans...

...!!

You... You're Rilldo, right?!

I've come to put an end to you, Shallot.

Now say your prayers!
