In the Form Realm
In the area reserved for training, without laboratories or other facilities… two grown men walked through the immense white esplanade while the biggest and weird of them showed the other the place
"Here we are Trunks, my private dimension where time passes slower
Perfect for more time to train, do homework, watch TV series to prevent your family from spoiling you...
And much more…" Broly said to Trunks, as if he was showing his bachelor floor to his alternate son
"Wow awesome…
It's like there is no end..." Said Trunks, he never imagined that Broly would have a private dimension like this one... although at this point nothing surprised him…
"Yes whatever you say, but take off your shoes!
You are dirtying the floor..." Said Broly very angry, showing great anger towards Trunks
The same anger and displeasure that he had shown towards him the first time he met him and discovered that he was the son of Vegeta and his wife
A sudden change in attitude that Trunks quickly identified as a danger to his life "Sorry, excuse me, I didn't know that..."
"It's a joke!
Do you intend to train without shoes?
You have to take care of your feet" Broly said slapping Trunks on the back, showing with a smile that this had been a joke
"Ahh .. haha ... okay ... that was ... funny ..." Trunks replied after feeling that his testicles returned to their original place
Obviously he hadn't found it funny at all… he was still shaking in fear…
An absolute failure to ease the tension between them that Broly had no choice but to accept.
"I wanted to make a joke ease the tension between us, but instead it had the opposite effect…
Anyway, let's get down to business, I have to at least train you until you're on a similar level to Goku and Vegeta, but...
First of all I have to check how strong you are to know what you lack ... so you will fight against me until you have no energy left...
Don't reserve anything, otherwise this exercise wouldn't make sense
Otherwise it won't be possible for you to defeat that bastard...
Give your best from minute 0" Broly said, indicating to Trunks with his tail that he should attack him... that unlike other occasions he didn't do it in a mocking way, he was being very serious about
A seriousness and change of attitude on the part of Broly that forced Trunks to leave behind his fears and doubts
Broly hadn't taken him to this secluded and unknown place to kill him ... for whatever reason he wanted to make him stronger
And Trunks couldn't miss that opportunity, he just shouldn't
"Ok, Broly-san, I will give everything" Trunks said with great determination as…
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
As he transformed into super Saiyan…
Obviously this wasn't the normal Super Saiyan that he used the first time he came to the past
Of course it wasn't about the imperfect and muscular transformation that he learned with his father when he came to the past.
And neither was the Super Saiyan 3 that Goku this time had no chance to learn.
His appearance was similar to that of a Super Saiyans 2... however it wasn't a Super Saiyan 2...
His hair was more golden and spiky than a normal Super Saiyan 2, the amount of aura he gave off was much more intense and dense
But above all, his power was the most different ...
Despite not being transformed, he was even more powerful than a Super Saiyan 3
Ann that power and appearance even surprised Broly "Fiuuuu...
Attack"
Therefore, the combat began
"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
A combat in which Trunks with his sword tried to mortally wound Broly…
A Trunks who fought with a power, speed, control and imagination that would even blow Vegeta and Goku by the wayside if they fought with the same kind of power level
However, no matter how much he tries to hit Broly it was impossible, his tail always got between him and his sword
So hopelessly, Trunks was unable to do anything except drain all his energy trying to uselessly reach for Broly's neck, which didn't even move from the beginning of the fight.
Terefore, 12 minutes later…
"Dam!" Yelled Trunks on his knees and holding onto his sword as he finished his transformation
He didn't even have the strength to take another step, much less to maintain that powerful transformation
The only thing he had the energy to do was curse his humiliating defeat and his inability to even force Broly to take him seriously in this fight
One more defeat in his long history of failures and half victories that wounded his already damaged soul
But Broly didn't see it that way, he was quite satisfied with what he saw. "I don't usually give compliments to anyone ... especially to Vegeta derivatives ... but with you I am forced to make an exception
You have achieved something that none of the others Non-Broly Saiyans have achieved on their own
Surpass the Super Saiyan 2 in a stable way ... and not by little margin, you are very close to reaching the maximum limit of the multiplier X500
You may even have more talent than Gohan ... Bulma's genes have favored you [It's not surprising that in the manga Goku in Super Saiyan 3 was scared when he felt Trunks' Ki ...
If he hadn't resorted to his divine energy, Trunks would have easily defeated him...
Even Trunks fights better than Goku now…
If all half Saiyans trained like pure Saiyans they would be incredible]"
"It's been ten years…
I've been training every day as if my life depended on it" Trunks answered, accepting with some prid that compliment as he tried to get up off the ground.
"I see, in that area you are better than Gohan ...
I congratulate you, you have earned my respect" Answered Broly, who partly criticized that since Gohan had become a father he had loosened his training a lot
And…
PAM!
Broly sent Trunks back to the ground with a blow of his tail an said "We can end the fight now, get up"
[Was that hit really necessary?
Fuck!] Trunks thought somewhat angry as he tried to get up again that day
He had already lost, acknowledged his defeat, he had no energy and he attacked him by surprise
It's evident that he still hates him!
Or is he like that with everyone?
"Yes it was…
And yes, I can read minds, so be careful with your thoughts" Broly said to scare Trunks a bit
As always his educational trick was one carrot and two sticks
"I'll keep it in mind Broly-san
Then…
Have I passed your test?" Trunks asked as he tried to empty his mind just in case
"I would like to say no and then tell you it was a joke, but… it would be stupid…
Yes, of course you have approved, with great margin
Thanks to your talent ... surely inherited from your mother ... and effort you will avoid a lot of time and suffering during your training
Time that we can dedicate to other tasks" Broly said as he tightly clenched his fist ...
A part of him still hurt to praise him due to his genealogy
"Really? What does the training consist of?" Trunks asked a little more excited than before, but watching in case Broly hit him again without warning.
"The first thing of all is to teach you my technique of body multiplication
You already saw it in action a decade ago...
This technique uses your S-Cells as fuel to create permanent clones and these clones can only be created with perfectly activatable S-Cells...
In your case you have practically mastered the 500 units, so you will be able to perfect this technique quickly
I think it is not necessary to mention to you what are the benefits of having this ability always activated right?" Broly said using his classic power point to illustrate the explanations of his abilities
"No need not sir!
I know them well" Answered Trunks as if he were a recruit on the first day of instruction
He obviously knew the advantages of this ability, as he saw how Gohan used it during his fight against Cell while his mother explained everything about it.
"Perfect, less saliva to waste...
The next thing I'm going to show you is this
Try to feel it" Said Broly while…
Apparently he did nothing
"…"
"…"
For one minute...
Until Trunks had to raise his hand to ask
"Broly-san, are you playing a joke on me again?
I don't feel anything at all" Said Trunks, who once again thought that Broly didn't want to train him seriously
"What you haven't been able to feel is divine energy
A type of energy of higher quality than the Ki that mortals use and that obviously gives a lot of advantage in combat and in daily life...
A type of energy that will be very useful when facing another enemy that use divine energy like Black Goku, since only divine energy user can sense divine energy" Answered Broly, showing that he was serious although he liked to make his alternate stepson's doubt
However, that and many other of his doubts were resolved after knowing this information "It's true…
When Black fighted seriously I was unable to feel his Ki...
How did you..."
"Che, che, che ... I'm not done yet
I will also teach you the Kaioken, it's very useful combined with body multiplication ... apart from other auxiliary skills such as putting a washing machine...
In addition, if you are able to surprise me, I will give you a great gift...
A privilege that until now only Gohan has been able to obtain" Broly said, interrupting the unnecessary and easy-to-answer questions as he gave Trunks new incentives for completing this training.
"Only Gohan?
Why are you so generous all of a sudden?" Trunks asked somewhat moved, he didn't understand why precisely he deserved this honor
Especially when everyone knows how Broly is like
"It's obvious…
I can't let my wife's alternate son go around the world looking and fighting like a beggar
What kind of alternate stepfather would I be?" Sid Broly in his tsundere mode.
What was the reason?
Broly didn't really hate him that much ... but he had to keep playing his role...
He had promised Bulma that he would seriously train Trunks to make him as strong as he could…
He also wanted to replace Vegeta as his father figure creating a good bond during the training…
And above all ... was something more or less necessary for his plan...
Or at least to disguise his true plan...
"Hahaha...
Thank you very much Broly-san" Said Trunks who laughed genunally for the first time since he was alone with Broly in the Form Realm
He never expected to see some... supposedly ... cute side of Broly
In fact, he even thought for a moment that Broly was actually someone quite kind instead of the cruel and dangerous psychopath ogre he pretended to be and that everyone except his mother had described
"You have finally laughed naturally…
Perfect..." Broly said smiling just like Trunks… but suddenly "NOW ERASE THAT SMILE FROM YOUR FACE!
From now on the pain begins"
Suddenly Broly erased the wide smile from his face to become the incarnation of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman himself
An abrupt change of attitude that scared Trunks again, who withdrew from his mind everything he had thought of Broly a few moments ago
"Don't panic...
It is part of the ritual" Said Broly paraphrasing one of the best fictional teachers
"Yes…
Ok…
Right…" Trunks replied, who was starting to get used to that kind of schizophrenia that characterized Broly when he talked to him
Maybe…
"No you aren't" Replied Broly while reading his thoughts…
It was clear that he wasn't fully focused now...
"Can we start now?
Please…" Begged Trunks, who wanted to end this tense situation as soon as possible.
Taking a beating from Broly seemed even preferable to him than all this shit...
