"Rahhhhh!" the young super saiyan yelled, as he decked his father in the cheek and sent him flying and sliding across the ground.

"*huff* *huff* *puff*," he falls to the ground on one knee and returns to his normal state. "How was that father?"

The ground started to shake and Broly erupted from the ground, enveloped by his surging, overwhelming green ki. He started to laugh maniacally and concentrated his aura into his right hand to create a powerful ki blast. Brutus got up slowly and powered up once more.

"Just try and survive this one!" shouted Broly, as he proceeded to fire the blast at his son.

Brutus stuck out his arms to stop the blast but it was too much for him to handle. He started to get sucked into the blast and he screamed in agony.

"Come on son, I know this isn't all the power you can muster! If you can't even push back something like this then you're a pathetic excuse for a saiyan warrior!"

Brutus gritted his teeth and shouted, "I'll... show you... WHO'S AN EXCUSE!". He mustered up the rest of his strength and started undergoing a transformation. His torso became much larger, and the rest of his body expanded as well, ripping his purple jeans and his lime-green tracksuit. His hair spiked up and turned green and his pupils faded from his eyes.

"NGHHHHRRRAAHHHHHH!" he shouted as a battle cry, and miraculously he managed to push his father's blast back at him. Broly, in awe, barely manages to dodge his own attack and the blast flew into the depths of space, where it exploded, creating something that seemed like a green nebula.

Brutus, drained from deflecting his father's blast and from experiencing a new power, reverts to his normal state once more. "What...was...that?...*huff* *puff* *wheeze*"

Broly lands next to his son and answers his question, "That was our family transformation, Legendary Super Saiyan."

Brutus's eyes widened when he heard the name. "L-Legendary Super Saiyan?... That's the first time I've heard about it.

"I kept it a secret because I wanted you to find out what it was on your own. I'm proud of you son." Broly feeds his son a senzu bean and hugs him. Brutus's blushes a bit since this is the first time he has been hugged by his father, this is the first time his father even praised him actually.

"T-Thanks dad," he responded hesitantly. Broly released his son and stared at him before he gave his son his new set of instructions, "I've been thinking about it for awhile now and today's training confirmed it. You're ready to be out in the world on your own now. Travel the world son...no, travel the universe, I want you to get stronger, strong enough that one day I'll fight you as my equal."

Brutus was a lot loss for words. He didn't know how to respond to his father's statement, all he could do was stare at him like a deer in headlights.

"I already talked to your mother about this," Broly added. "She packed your bags while we were training."

"B-but dad, I'm only 17. I can't move out just yet," cried Brutus. Instead of getting angry, Broly smirked and rubbed his son's head.

"You'll be fine," he said. "It's a scary thing at first but you'll get used to it. I was exiled from my home planet when I was a child and I had to learn how to survive on my own, that's how I got these scars. If I could do it when I was only a child then I know you definitely can, you're older and way more powerful than I was back then." He looked his son up and down and for the first time, he exposed his smile to his son. "You know you're the splitting image of me, from your hair, your eyes, even your scars that you've obtained from me during training over the years. The only difference between us is that you don't have a tan and you're shorter than me, but I've prattled on long enough. Now, let us go home and shower and engage in our last family meal together."

Brutus was astonished. He had no idea that his father was capable of harboring such feelings. His entire life he's only seen his father's frown and was yelled at daily during training so he could meet or exceed his father's expectations, but today he finally got to witness his father's soft side, a side that he's never shown to anyone, not even to his wife. Brutus stood up and dusted himself off and flew home with his father.

Brutus took his shower as soon as he got there and started thinking: What awaits him? Will he be able to meet his father's expectations? Will he even be able to survive on his own? All these questions began to give him anxiety. He tried to turn the shower off, but he used too much force due to his anxiety and he broke the valve and water started to spray everywhere. Brutus quickly exited the bathroom and used his ki to dry himself off. He put on some underwear and a pair of pants and headed down to the kitchen where his mom and dad had already started to eat without him.

"Hey! Don't eat everything before I get any!'" he yelled. He joined them in the feast and they had laughs, embarrassing conversations, fights over the remaining bits of food, everyone had a good time that night at the dinner table and they went to bed with smiles on their faces and their bellies stuffed. Brutus slept like a rock that night especially since it was his last night sleeping at home, in a comfortable bed.

The next day rolled around and it was time for Brutus to take his leave. His mother hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek and wished him farewell. His father, on the other hand, was making his usually grumpy facial expression. He wasn't expecting his father to say anything, but he did, in the saiyan way anyway. Broly charged at his son and thew a punch. Brutus dropped his bags and countered with a punch of his own. Their fist clashed creating a shockwave that obliterated all the windows, glass, fine, china, and everything else fragile within the house. They both smiled at each other and lowered their fist.

"I'll be waiting for your return runt," said Broly.

"Next time we meet you won't be calling me a runt," responded Brutus.

Broly laughed and wished the best of luck to his son and returned inside the house with his wife just to get yelled at.

Brutus picked up his bags and let his ki envelop his body and he took off flying at light speed. After flying for a couple of hours, Brutus decided to stop somewhere to eat, however, this decision would be the one that leads to his journey to another world...
