"Gine, if you are all so concerned, why don't you leave. The technology is more than enough to leave for other planets, isn't it?"
"Sigh. Yes it is. We won't leave, because we can't. In ancient times the natives tried to leave early on, but they were unsuccessful or that is what we believe what happened. The city lord has probably described it to you already, about the three Origin Crystals. The cornerstones of Perditus."
"Perditus?"
"Ah, yes. That's how the planet was referred to in ancient texts. After they arrived in this solar system, the crystals lost their might and with it, Perditus lost its protection. The outside space was distorted by the planets teleportation and was incredibly dangerous. Maybe they didn't know but the natives decided to travel outside in search for their home.
That was also the last event the natives were still around. Some say they successfully escaped and never turned back, others say that they were torn apart by space. Either way, thereafter different species emerged from space rifts on this planet. Fast forwarding a few thousands of years and here we are. The outside space still as chaotic as ever. We don't know what would greet us, if we flew inside the distorted space. What would greet us on the other side or inside, would we even be able to survive the space? Most are more afraid of the unknown than some creatures that we have clashed with already. Although they are strong, they aren't unkillable."
"Rather fight the enemy than face the unknown. Huh."
"Yes. Now you know why we don't just leave. Ah, Broly could you do me a favor and fight against the class I'm supervising? I think it would be nice if they spar against someone much stronger than them in their age."
'Their age? Oh right. Sometimes I forget that I'm only, what is it, 4 years old.'
"Sure, why not?"
Gine beamed after she heard the answer, she turned towards the children who were sparring with each other and gathered them in front of her and Broly.
"I have a little surprise for you! The champion from last year's prodigy tournament agreed to spar with you. You can go all out, he can handle it."
She told the group of 8 while slapping Broly's back. He stumbled a bit forward. He regained his balance and was about to say something before being interrupted.
"Broly, the champion!!" "Wow!!" "Are you really as old as we are?" "Are you really a Super Saiyan?" "Why are you so tall?" "Why do you still have your tail?".
He was bombarded with questions, he blanked out for a second. He quickly came out of his daze, before clearing his throat.
"Cough. Yes, I am 4 years-old. Not a Super Saiyan yet. I like my tail. As for my height…" Why was he taller than them? With 180cm in height, he was already approaching the original adult's height. If he remembered correctly, as an adult he should become over 2 meters tall. He started to think about it, as he was literally looking down at the group of kids in front of him. They all looked around 13 years of age, but they couldn't even compare to him.
From the series he knew that this should be the norm. Kakarot was also only growing after he became 15, getting several growth spurts until he turned 25. It was a Saiyan trait. Saiyans have evolved to have a slowed aging process upon reaching physical maturity in order to fight longer. But why would they only reach maturity at 25, why didn't they grow up faster?
'Hmm? Aren't Taro and the others a bit to tall as well, why are we so tall? They should have the same height as the group in front of him, right? What about us, differentiate us with them? Maybe our strength? Maybe it has something to do with the lifeforce. With more lifeforce and energy pumping through our veins, it would certainly make sense, why it would allow us to grow faster. We could also be influenced by the Mother Blood Crystal. After all it evolved our cells, well either way, doesn't really matter.'
"…it is because I'm strong! Now, enough with the questions let's fight."
Without waiting any further Broly and the group started to fight each other. Needles to say that the group couldn't hold a handle to him.
After the sparring session, the group was panting on the ground, while Broly was talking leisurely with Gine.
The next morning, he woke up and went outside for a bit, before sparring against the kids again. With them he went to a Saiyan restaurant and had lunch with them. The portions really honored the name of the restaurant 'A Saiyans Meal'. Broly could barely eat two dishes before his stomach threatened to burst.
For the evenings he started to read up on some information about the planet and legends of the crystals he borrowed from the city lord, as he would try to find and absorb the other two crystals as well.
This continued for a few days, before he decided to take a break from his rest. Although he sparred a bit with the kids, he was itching for his training. He went back to the city lord's palace, going straight for the trainings room, shortly meditating under 500g. Still under 500g he started his workout routine with the basics, deadlifts, bench presses, squats and other exercises. He had asked some of the scientists to develop him some durable weights which could withstand the high gravity pressure. Although the poles from the weights were a bit bigger than he was used to, it served its purpose.
He segregated his workout routine into weight training, just to increase his strength, martial arts training, so he could use his muscles more efficiently and end it off by sparring with different opponents.
Another year has passed and he stopped getting stronger. His strength stagnated at around 12 million, which was higher than most in this city and with the Oozaru form, he would be probably only be second to the city lord. He didn't know why he didn't get any stronger, but he could tell that his S-cells still continued to grow. So, he placed his focus on meditating again. It didn't really affect his base strength, but he could worry about it after he achieved Super Saiyan.
Now other problems arrived. It has been 3 years since the CE attacked. Under full moon another attack was incoming, the whole city was tense as they waited on full alert for the enemies to appear. Broly was waiting as well, standing tall on the wall with his assigned group consisting of Aize, Taro, Alea and Cana.
