He looked suspiciously at the three Saiyans.
"Don't be a scaredy-cat. We just want you to get stronger, otherwise it would be boring." Broly smiled, but Cell couldn't help but feel that he was hiding something. He comes out of nowhere and gave him this kind of treasure? It would be foolish of him not to suspect something, but he knew very well that he doesn't really have a choice, now does he? Cell looked at the other two Saiyans, one didn't show any emotions and the other had his arms crossed, while tapping on one with his finger. It was clear that that one was impatient.
Instead of making a fuss, he just bit the bullet, in this case the fruit. As soon as he bit into it, he felt immense energy flowing into him. They were nourishing his body and he could feel his strength instantly increase. These thousands of humans, he just absorbed were nothing compared to this single fruit!
He even felt that he had enough energy to attain the next step of his path to become a perfect being, but he had to be patient. He needed the androids to evolve to get the best results. Theoretically with enough energy he could do it without them, but he had no prior information on the next evolution, if he made a mistake, his foundation would be flawed, but with the androids the process would almost be automatically.
As he felt the energy, he had dropped his guard for a second. In just that instant Broly seemed to have teleported right in front of him. Broly pointed his fingers at Cell's head, before he could react, his mind went blank as something seemed to drill into his head. His body shook for a moment before Cell stabilized himself. He quickly recovered and slapped Broly's hand away as he jumped backwards.
Broly only grinned but didn't follow up with anything. He then turned to Aize.
"Aize have some fun with him."
Aize didn't say anything unnecessary as he directly dashed to Cell, who was surprised by the sudden turn of events, nevertheless after Broly's attempt to attack him, he wouldn't be caught off-guard again! He directly engaged Aize and overpowered him quickly until Aize turned Super Saiyan.
Cell stood no chance against Aize now and was quickly dominated by him. He was being pushed through the whole city. He was like a baby in front of an adult. He stood no chance but no matter what he wouldn't just bent his knee!
Broly yawned as he looked at the fight, he already sensed Piccolo's ki swiftly approaching. After a round of pushing Cell around, Piccolo had finally arrived. Broly called Aize back and slowly rose into the sky.
Piccolo frowned as he looked at the three Saiyans and the miserable figure, which gave off a familiar ki signature.
"We have warmed him up for you. No reason to thank us, Piccolo. It was our pleasure." Broly said cheekily before heading off with his crew in tow.
"What now?" Taro asked, he was beginning to feel bored. The fighters here weren't bad but still far from being his or Aize's match.
"We are going to keep Goku busy until Cell absorbed the androids."
"Oh, so that is that bug's name. Why do you want him to absorb the androids?"
"Well, he needs the androids to evolve to his final form, his strength will increase significantly. He will not be as strong as you guys but still nothing to scoff about."
"If he and the others can't even keep up with us, why did we even come along if there is no one for us to fight?"
"Hehe, they will be strong enough for you if you motivate them correctly, you will see."
"Whatever you say, you are the boss, but can't you just make Cell motivated? You already have him under your control, haven't you?" Taro inquired. Broly glanced at him for a second, giving Taro a fright. He had already told them to not speak about it so causally if they aren't in a secure room. Broly created a ki barrier around the 3, which obstructed the sound. The light of the barrier started to brighten, preventing someone from lipreading.
"If that motivation comes from their deepest desire, they become stronger exponentially. I could make him, but he would be inferior if that desire had come from himself. I only give him some pushes here and there, but I can't directly make him, that's a no go. I already messed up with Cooler, can't make the same mistake now. Cell is too valuable."
Cooler had improved considerably, but he was far from becoming Golden Cooler. It was possible that he just wasn't as talented as Frieza, but Broly could tell that he didn't give 100 percent in improving, something was obstructing his progress. After Broly had experimented with some elves, he noticed the difference in their progress, if he commanded them to train or make it a necessity for them to train.
"He is? He isn't that strong, even if he had his final form, if he is not even as strong as we are as you say. Why don't you just go to the top ranks of the universe and control them."
"Do you think it is easy to control a soul without them noticing? Even if I become vastly stronger than them, most of them have years of experience and many would have trained their mental energy, which directly connects with their soul. They would notice something different immediately, but Cell on the other hand is just a newcomer. He has yet to notice his soul, he wouldn't see anything wrong, even if his soul was in shambles. That is why I did it now, with his potential, he will soon be one of the strongest fighters in the universe."
"He is going to become one of the strongest?"
"Don't let his look deceive you, his body contains the DNA from Frost Demons, Saiyans and Namekians. His body is a collection of three races with immeasurable potential."
"Alright. So, we just need to help Cell absorb the androids."
"We don't have to help him, he will do it himself. He already ate a fruit of might, he will hunt down the androids now, but he isn't strong enough to defeat Goku. For now, we keep Goku from killing Cell until Cell reaches his final form."
"Understood." "Alright." Aize and Taro answered. In the next moment, Broly undid the barrier and sensed for Goku's ki. He squinted his eyes as he noticed that Goku had suppressed it. The others seemed to have vanished as well. Even Cell was gone. Broly thought that since Cell had enough energy, he would go out to hunt the androids now, but instead they all hid.
Broly grinned that they thought that they could escape his senses. The next moment his vision changed, revealing all energy types to him. He sensed the most prominent lifeforce and immediately recognized that they had gathered at the lookout.
The three didn't attempt to hide their presence as they directly headed towards the lookout. Without obstruction they arrived above the lookout. They looked down at the Z-Fighters who returned their gaze. Krillin was gulping and the others were uneasy as well.
Broly couldn't find Vegeta or Trunks, which meant that they probably already went inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Goku, Raditz and Gine were there as well. Broly wondered why Goku was here, since he had more than enough power to kill not only the androids but the current Cell as well. Instead of wasting time here, shouldn't he be on the lookout for them? Well better for him, now he doesn't have to follow Goku around.
Piccolo on the other hand wasn't here. Was he killed by Cell? Broly quickly dismissed that idea, they were currently on the same level. If he wasn't careless, he shouldn't have died against Cell.
Broly slowly opened his mouth and started speaking.
"Listen up, you, worms! I had given you 10 years in hope you will drastically improve, but you weaklings barely made any progress after 3 years! Since I am generous, I give you another 2 weeks. I will create an arena, where you will fight against my followers. If you can beat one of them, I will only take action in 7 years as promised. If you fail, you can all die with this planet! Now sent your elites to fight them until then no one will leave this planet!"
Broly's voice echoed in the sky. He made sure to amplify his voice, so it would reach every creature on this planet. He wanted to make sure, Cell had heard it too, no matter where he was.
After delivering his message he, Taro and Aize seemingly headed off again. Unbeknownst to the Z-Fighters they still hovered in the air without a care in the world. They were hovering and even brought out some food, they had stolen from the temple, completely in plain sight, but no one seemed to notice them.
