Ultimate Legend Of Dragon Ball - C21 The Start Of A SUPER Friendship!
Hearing her disparaging remarks Brolys eyes suddenly narrowed as he felt himself grow annoyed by Jewels blatant disregard for himself and more importantly his abilities which is what caused him to be suddenly overcome by a completely irrational urge to personally voice his contrasting opinions to the precocious Saiyan girl directly.
“I wouldn’t be too sure about that Jewel.” Brolys childlike voice suddenly rang out in her ears eerily.
The applications of Ki were nearly limitless, which is why the Dragon Ball multiverse had so many wondrous techniques. You could even project your voice using Ki, allowing you to speak from long distances away directly into someone’s ear or even with the right technique their mind. Although he had not learn such wondrous techniques, by a special application of Ki Control he was able to project his voice into someone ear as long as they were in range of his Ki Sense. This is how he was able to speak to Jewel even though he was fully immersed in nutrient solution.
“AHH! D-D-Did you just talk to me!” Jewel exclaimed frightful as she shakily pointed at Broly calmly floating in the middle of his Incubator.
“Yes, I did.”
“B-B-But how, it doesn’t make sense!”
“It makes perfect sense “SUPER” engineer Jewel as long as you understand one thing. That I Broly, am “SUPER” awesome.” He mockingly replied.
“W-W-What, that doesn’t answer my question at all!”
“Hello, I’m Broly.”
“Ah yes, nice to mee…Hey, don’t try and change the subject!”
“Ugh…Fine, it’s just a “SUPER” special way of using power okay Jewel.
“Oh, that make sense. So why are you in that weird stance and why are you able to talk already?”
“As far as why I can talk I already told you, it because I’m “SUPER” awesome.”
“But…”
“NO BUTS! I BROLY AM AWESOME! UNDERSTAND!!!”
“Bu…fine, your awesome Broly….” acknowledged Jewel quickly after seeing the scary look in Brolys eyes as she tried to deny his self-proclaimed “AWESOMENESS”.
“Good girl. Now this stance I am in is to help me with training my power.”
“Really?”
“Yes really.”
“But that’s completely different from how we Saiyans normally train, I should know, since I already finished basic training 2 years ago when I left my incubator.”
“Well my way is better than whatever foolish way you were taught. And before you ask how I know, it because I’m AWESOME! UNDERSTAND!”
“Yes. So maybe you could teach me, like if you wanted, I mean, I’m not saying I want to learn, just that I would be willing to, if, you like wanted to that is, okay?” Jewel tentatively asked.
“Maybe later Jewel, right now I have little time to waste and already I’ve lost valuable training time talking to you.” Broly dismissively replied.
“Oh…..Okay. Well it not like I wanted to learn your stupid training stance thing anyways stupid Broly, I don’t need to waste my SUPER “valuable” time talking to some stupid Saiyan infant, I mean what does a stupid Saiyan infant like you know anyways…Hmph!” exclaimed Jewel petulantly.
“Now Jewel there’s no need to act like that, believe it or not I already know a lot about you so don’t try to fool either of us with those empty lies and that glass facade, not only is it mentally demeaning to both of us but only serves to hinder the growth of our wonderful new relationship. If you must know, from what I’ve seen so far despite your irregular for a Saiyan outward appearance you are only 6 yrs old but because of your remarkably high intelligence and fear of rejection you act flirtatious like an older female who cares little for relationships would as a defense mechanism, while in truth you desperately crave social interaction and acceptance from the other Saiyans which has consistently proven impossible so far not only because of your odd mature exterior appearance but also because of your physical differences (different colored eyes, tail and hair) which has caused you to be permanently ostracized by the rest of the Saiyan community. This coupled with your low-class potential, subpar power level and a intense fear of fighting makes you unable to connect even on the most fundamental issues to a Saiyan which is why you are constantly trying to build useful inventions so that people will like you and also is why every night when you go home you cry yourself to sleep.” Broly said deductively while smugly thinking “take that Holmes.”
“H-H-H-How do you know all that?” Jewel exclaimed in disbelief, her mouth gaping wide as she covered her face in embarrassment over Brolys penetrating analyses, his words peeling back every layer of her hearts defenses as he effortlessly exposed all of her deepest secrets making her feel both naked and vulnerable before this bizarre Saiyan infants emotionless emerald eyes. Yet at the same time for some inexplicable reason she also had a sense of euphoria at someone finally paying her so much attention.
Smiling for the first time since they had met, despite his infantile exterior Broly exuded a venerable and otherworldly air as he replied with a nearly forgotten tone now unfamiliar to Jewel, a tone full of warmth. “Because unlike the other Saiyans I am really looking at you with eyes free of social prejudice or disgust for your differences which allows me to clearly see the real you Jewel. A bright, gentle girl who is both intelligent and beautiful.”
“D…Do you really mean that?” she asked tears forming in her eyes as she braced her vulnerable heart for the usual piercing rejection she had come to habitually expect.
Yet instead of the expected killing verbal blow Broly remained true to the words he had spoken as he raised his right hand and placed it firmly atop her left hand which was also pressed against the incubators glass then projecting a stream of invisible Ki filled with his goodwill he caringly replied exuding the aura of an absolute protector and stalwart defender causing her to feel for the first time in her life a sense of unprecedented safety as he spoke. “I do indeed Jewel. You are truly one-of-a-kind!”
Hearing his reply filled with all the feelings and emotions she had always wanted to hear from another Saiyan her tears overflowed from her eyes as she began to heavily cry, two rivers of tears forming on her beautiful face as the dam in her heart which had repressed her true self for so long finally shattered from the penetrating warmth of his words causing a tidal wave of emotions to flood her mind as she stutteringly expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Broly. “W-W-Wow, t-t-thanks B-B-Broly! That’s…that’s the nicest…nicest thing anyone’s ever said about me EVER!”
“Well I meant every word of it girl.” he warmly said reassuringly.
Looking at her staring at him with her star struck teary eyes and a expression of true joy upon her lovely face Broly suddenly felt his heart race as he momentarily forgot his was still an infant before he quickly suppressed the manly urge to burst out of his incubator and grasp her tightly within his heart-warming embrace. She was like a lost little kitten desperate for warmth and attention from another living being and Broly had finally given her that. Without wanting anything in return he had given her something she had wanted for so long, acceptance and acknowledgement of her existence instead of the usual distain she regularly receive from her peers and fellow Saiyan.
“You know, I think this is the start of a “SUPER” friendship Jewel.” Broly amusingly said with a warm smile.
“HA-HA-HA…I…I think you may be right Broly!” replied Jewel with a laugh.
“Of course I am Jewel! Stick with me girl and I’ll show you the wonders of the universe!” Broly said confidently.
“Pfft-HA-HA-HA-HA, what do you know about the wonders of the universe Broly?” Jewel exclaimed in humorous disbelief.
“More than you could possibly imagine Jewel, more than anyone in this universe could possibly imagine, but I promise you Jewel, in time you too will see, if you decide to stick with me for the long haul.” Broly said his brilliant eyes momentarily radiating and unfathomably mysterious profundity as myriads of unseen thoughts swam within their ageless depths.
“Really…w-w-well I’ll hold you to that promise then Broly.” Jewel tentatively said while lowering her face embarrassingly, her checks suddenly gaining a reddish tinge as she timidly played with her fingers.
“Be assured girl, I make it a habit not to disappoint, especially when I am dealing with an intelligent, beautiful young lady such as yourself.” Broly confidently declared with a good natured roguish wink.
“Oh Really…hmm, well aren’t we a match made in heaven, a girl who looks older then she is and a boy who acts older than he really is.” Jewel teasingly responded.
“Indeed, perhaps despite its fickle nature fate did take some part in are fortuitous meeting for it would seem we truly are a destined duo. And as such a fated union would seem to be the predestined course of our wondrous new relationship I would be remiss of my true nature if I didn’t immediately insist that you impart to me what is causing your heart such agonizing turmoil. And don’t bother trying to denying it Jewel, my eyes are quite perceptive and have already beheld everything imaginable so please feel free to lay your troubles down upon me and share your “emotional burden” so to speak. However, I realize you may find sharing difficult so let’s start with something recent. Tell me about the “explosion” that got you sent down here in the first place Jewel.” Broly asked candidly.
“THAT WAS NOT MY…um, I’m mean…what explosion, I…I was sent down here because of a little accident not some “explosion” Broly.” Jewel denied falteringly.
“Listen Jewel, I was born at night, not last night. I already told you not to treat me like a normal Saiyan Infant. Even though I’m currently stuck in this incubator don’t assume for one bloody second that I can’t see what’s going on around me. I saw that explosion and it was in no ways “little” at all, it took out 3 whole lab blocks and seriously injured 37 other engineers. Now tell me exactly what happened!” Broly ordered firmly with an even authoritative tone.
“H-How, right, I almost forget, you’re “awesome”.” Jewel stutteringly exclaimed.
“Exactly, now talk girl! I assure you this will be very good for you, sharing with someone else are life’s troubles has always been a very therapeutic process, for it has an intrinsic way of clearing the mind and cleansing ones heart of stress and emotional anxiety Jewel. So please Jewel, let me help you carry your hearts burden.” implore Broly dependably.
“A-Alright…thanks Broly.”
“I’m here for you Jewel. Whenever you’re ready.”
