Part 13, Chapter 2: Promised Reunion

Alright... If you're still itching to fight, I'll gladly take you on!

G...Goku...?! Come to save Shallot, have you?!

(No, it can't be that...! It's almost impossible to track Ki on Earth now...! So how did he...?!)

Huh?! Save Shallot?! Well, I guess I could do that too!

What?

I honestly had no idea that Shallot was even here! Hahaha!

You didn't?!

You're the one I've been looking for... Uhh...Lavender, was it?

W-What do you want with me?!

(I don't know what he's after, but it can't be good!)

(Basil's still out cold...!! I'll have to play a little dirty if I want to get out of here alive!!)

Come on out, you two!!

Go after Shallot!! He should still be feeling the effects of the poison!!

You...bastard...!!

How about that, Goku?! Can you protect your friend while fighting for your own life?

And let you get away at the same time...?

Oh...oh no! He's got me completely figured out!!

I'm not letting you get away, and I won't let anything happen to Shallot either! So bring it on!!

Haaah!

Curse you...you useless weaklings!! I can't get away like this!!

Now, now, just calm down. I'm not here to hurt you.

Then...w-what do you want?!

You're able to use that hole in space-time, right?

The one that leads to Zahha...

?!

Sorry, but I want you to come with me...and bring your sleepyhead brother too...!

So he's after the hole in space-time...?

Well, what'll it be? You'd be doing me a big favor if you could just come quietly.

Or are you really that loyal to Zahha?

Tch...

It's true that our alliance is only temporary...and I'm honestly not overly fond of him...!!

But that doesn't mean I'm just gonna do whatever you tell me to!!

*breathes in deeply*

Uh oh! Shallot, hold on!!

Bwaaaaaaa!!

Phew! That was a close one!

That bastard! He still had something up his sleeve...!

(Finally! I got some distance!!)

Hey, Basil! Get up already!! We're outta here!!

Ugh...! G...Got it, Brother!!

They're getting away!!

Hehehe! Farewell, knuckleheads!!

How troublesome...

Gah?!

Gueh?!

Wh...What was that?!

I followed you all the way here... ...and this is what I find?

You're having too much fun, Goku... Just beat them down and bring them back... It's more efficient...

Ugh...hrrr...?! Hit...?! From...Universe...6...?!

H-Hit! And...Gohan, too?!

Are you alright, Shallot?

D-Dammit! Goku was bad enough, but now these two show up?!

W-Wait a minute...! How did you even find us?!

You must've used some kind of trick!! So tell us already!!

We used the Dragon Radar!

The Dragon...Radar...?

You know about the Super Dragon Balls, right?

Well they send out these electric waves or something that this radar can pick up from just about anywhere...!

What are you blabbering about? I don't see any Super Dragon Balls here, do you?!

You're right! There aren't any "here" at least...

But, like I said before, this radar can detect those waves from anywhere...

And right now, it's found one...

Inside that hole in space-time you opened!!

?!

It's pretty simple, really! I mean, Zahha's Omnificence Crystal is just on the other side of that portal!!

And since his crystal is basically a Super Dragon Ball, tracking it with the radar is a piece of cake!

Of course, when the hole closes, we can't track it anymore, so I wasn't sure how helpful this thing would be...

But then you guys just kept opening holes over and over again...

It really made you easy to find! Hehehe!

Grrrr...! D-Dammit...!!

I'm going to tie you up, okay? Let me know if it hurts anywhere!

Ow ow ow! It's too tight, dammit!

Oh! I'm so sorry about that. But can you just try to grin and bear it for now?

Then what was the point in telling you?!

Alright! I guess we got what we came for!

And it's good that we came when we did! Any later and Shallot might've been done for!

S-Shut up!! I could've handled it... All...by...myself...

...!

You're on your last legs...

Take it easy. You always push yourself too hard!

Here! Eat this!

A...Senzu Bean...?

...!! T-That's it!!

...?

I better take one first...!

Phew!! Thanks for that!! How many Senzu Beans do you have left?

Huh?! Umm...well you ate one, so that would mean that we have two left... Did you want another?!

Yes!! I just need one more!!

It's for someone else!!

Someone else?

Oh, right! He's crazy strong! But he got hurt protecting me...!!

Got it! In that case, just take 'em both!

Thanks, Goku!! I have to get back right away!

Shallot, wait!

...?

What happened to your communicator?

Bulma said she hasn't been able to contact you for a while! She's worried, you know?!

Ahh, about that... It kind of broke...

Oh, so that's what happened! Take this with you then!

This is the one I've been using!

We're heading back to the lookout anyway, so you may as well have it! Give Bulma a call when you have time!

I will! Anyway, I'm off!

Make sure to take care of that crazy strong guy, okay?!

Don't worry! Once he's back on his feet, I'm gonna ask him to join us!

And just wait until you see this guy!! His power is unbelievable!!

He's always in a rush, isn't he...

He's got an injured person waiting for him after all!

We'd better head off too and get these dogs back to the lookout!

Right!!

Ahhhh!! It feels so good to fly at full speed again!!

I'll be back in no time at this rate! Just hang on a little longer, Broly!

S-Stay back!! You...punks!!

If you come any closer...I'll shoot!!

Heh! Aren't you feisty! Do you really think that tiny gun of yours can save you?

You'd be doing us a favor if you just gave up now! Hehehe!

As fellow members of the Frieza Force, I'm sure we can put your belongings to good use!

Y-You...scum...!!

(I could maybe take care of one of these guys...but I don't have a chance against all three!!)

(I don't have a choice though! I'm the only one here who can protect Broly!!)

(I'm not gonna let it end here! Broly and I will get out of this mess...together!!)

Hmmm... Your battle uniform seems to be in pretty good condition too! I bet it'd sell for a pretty penny!

And what's that dirty rag your friend is wearing? A fur?

Gross! That's just filthy!! I bet it's all moldy and smelly! Kyahahaha!!

Grr...! You...!!

That "rag" is very important to Broly! So you better watch your damn mouth!

S-Shallot?!

Huh? Who the hell are you?

Sorry to keep you waiting, Cheelai!

Didn't you leave to get help?! Why'd you come back alone?!

Also, you're looking a lot better than when you left. What happened to the poison?!

That's not important right now! I need to deal with these guys first!!

What?! It's super important!

Hey! Broly! You awake?!

H...Huh?

Open up! You need to eat this!!

Hnng?!

Hey, wait a minute!! Can't you be any gentler?!

...

Wh...What?

My body...doesn't hurt...

How in th?! He really woke up!!

What a relief!! That's Senzu Beans for ya!! Hahaha!!

But why...? How...?

It's all thanks to that bean Shallot gave you... What'd he call it again? Sen...zu?

...? Sen...zu...?

I've never seen anything like it! It just looks like an ordinary bean!

You really had me worried there, Broly! Getting yourself hurt protecting us back there!

But...I should thank you...! After all, it's because of you that we're all safe and sound!

I'm glad...you're safe!!

You should be worried about me too!

...?!

So you got a new communicator and you didn't think it'd be a good idea to give me call?!

Agh!! Bulma?!

Oh...right! Goku lent me his communicator!

He told me what happened when he got back... If you're safe, the least you could do is let me know!!

All of a sudden, I couldn't get in contact with you! Do you realize how worried I was?!

Haha... Sorry, Bulma! I guess I caused you a lot of trouble too...!!

It's fine... We've got more important things to discuss anyway...

...?

You know how Goku brought back those guys who can open the hole in space-time...?

Well, now Lord Beerus is putting together a plan of attack...!

And he wants everyone to come back to the lookout and wait for further orders... That means you too, Shallot!

What?! Right now?! B-But that's too soon!

I promised Broly I'd help him look for his dad, I can't leave now!!

I know how you feel...but there's really not much that I can do...

Ughhhh...! What a mess! What are we gonna do?!

Sounds like there's a lot going on... So Shallot really has to head back now?

...

It's okay...!

Huh?

Father... I'll find him myself...!

But...I can't...!! It just wouldn't feel right...

You have something you need to do too...

I...don't want to bother a friend...

But I'll be sad...when you're gone...

Broly...

...

Sorry, Bulma! Tell Beerus I'll be a bit late!

Huh?! What are yo?

Wait...never mind... I think I know already...

What? What is it?

Broly! Fight me! If you're a Saiyan, you should love to fight too, right?

...!

I'm not exactly a huge fan of sad farewells! Hehe...!

Okay! I want to fight you too!!

That's what I like to hear! Let's go!!

Uwroaahhh!!

Daryaaahhh!!

Hahaha!!

You really are something else, Broly!

You too, Shallot! You're even stronger than Father and Ba!

Hehe! Thanks!!

That was a lot of fun! I wish you could stay...but I know you can't...

So...

When I find Father...I'll come back to help! I want to fight with you!

...!! Really?!

It would mean a lot to me if you did!! Make sure to find your dad quick, okay?

Okay! I will!

I promise!!

I'll hold you to that!!

Jeez... Just when I thought they were gonna have an honest heart-to-heart, they ended up fighting like always... Are all Saiyans like this?

All the ones I know are... But maybe it's what's best for them...

I know what you mean... Seeing Broly this happy...it makes me happy too, ya know?

Cheelai! What about you? You gonna stick with Broly?

That's the plan! I'm still not ready to leave him on his own... For a lot of reasons...

That means we'll be splitting up too. I'm sure we'll see each other again soon though!

Shallot, you've been making all these promises about meeting back up, but you haven't even told them where you'll be!

Ahh...!

Hahaha! Honestly, you're such a dolt sometimes!

Well, you know where the lookout is now...but was there anything else?

I think we're all set! We should be able to find you guys when we're done!

In that case, I should probably get going!

Broly! Good luck with your dad!

Good luck to you too!

It was fun travelling with you for a bit, Shallot! Oh, and give Giblet our regards too!

I will! Make sure to watch yourself out there, Cheelai! Though I guess with Broly around, I don't need to worry!

Haha! Well you're not wrong there! You'll keep me safe, right Broly?!

Of course...!

Oh, right! Broly, take this!!

...?

That's the Senzu thing you gave Broly earlier, isn't it?

Yeah! It's my last one, but I didn't really have a use for it in the end. Use it if anything happens, okay?

Thank you!

Alright! I better get going! See ya!!

Bye!!

...

Well...guess it's time for us to head off too!

Yeah!

Uhhhh...! Which way was the lookout again?

Just keep going straight.

And hurry up if you can. You're already late as it is and I don't want to make Lord Beerus angry...!

What about Giblet? Wouldn't it be better if I brought him back with me?

I contacted him ages ago...

Huh?! Since when did he have a communicator?

I gave him his own to use. Just in case...

But if I'd known you were going to break yours, I would have given him a spare too!

Grrr...!

As for Cabba, Jaco should have sent word to him to come back!

I wonder how things are going over there! Honestly, I'm just excited to see everyone again! Hehe...

Won't this be the first time we'll have everyone back at the lookout?

It would've been nice if Broly could've come too...

Not much we can do about that...! Finding his dad is his top priority after all!

Hell, I wanna meet him too! He's the guy who managed to raise such an unbelievably strong son!

And I'm sure he's crazy strong too... And probably a super nice guy, just like Broly!

...

What are you smiling about? Was your fight with Shallot really that much fun?

The fight...was fun... But more than that...

I'm excited...to see Shallot again... We promised...

That's right! You both promised to meet again soon!

That's why I need to find Father... Then I can go back to Shallot and...

Broly...! I found you...!

...?!

Is that...?! No...it can't be!!

F-Father!!

Broly...!

I was so worried about you...! I'm glad you're safe!!

What?

F...Father...?

You were worried about Broly?

Of course I was. It's only natural that a father be worried about his son.

I guess you have a point...but...!

Broly! It's good to see you again! Come! Let's eat to celebrate!

(I have a bad feeling about this... He's completely different to how he was back in our era...!)

Okay! I'll go find some food! My friend...he showed me all the stuff you can eat on this planet...!

Like fruits...and fish... I want you to try them too...!

Hmph...hahaha...! There's no need for that Broly!

Return with me and there'll be the most exquisite banquet waiting for you.

R...Return...?! Where...?!

Isn't it obvious?!

To my master... Lord Zahha...
