Thank You everyone for your incredible feedback! Nearly 200 hits, 6 reviews, and already 9 followers! I am so glad that this story was so well received! Almost everything said was positive, and you all seem to have no qualms about speaking your mind regarding the questions I asked at the end of the prologue. I will keep the questions up, however I have already decided one of them based on your reviews. Tune in at the end of the chapter to learn what I have decided. Also, I will clear some things up that were mentioned in the reviews. Now, the chapter begins!
Chapter 1
Age 749, Mt. Paozu
"Goku, I'm coming for you! Prepare yourself for my attack!"
"Bring it on Broly! I'll take everything you've got!"
The two fighters ran at each other with speeds past the limits of a normal human's comprehension. As Broly's attack met Goku's guard a thunderous sound split the clearing around them. A giant cloud of dust sprung up around them, blocking the martial artists from view to passing wildlife. As the dust dispersed, two standing figures could be seen staring each other down. Two deep cuts were gouged into the ground where Goku's feet were moments before, leading to him about 10 yards from his previous position.
*Damn, he pushed me back,* Goku thought to himself, *I really thought I had gotten stronger.*
Broly smirked at Goku, but his thoughts betrayed him. *I seriously can't believe he's still standing! What is he made of?* Broly stepped back, standing square to Goku.
"That was a good bout Goku. What do you say we call it a day?" Broly said, rubbing his fist he attacked with. Goku unceremoniously let himself fall to the ground on his back.
"Whew, I thought you'd never ask. I'm starving," he whined, rubbing his stomach as he spoke. "I know," he hollered as he shot up like a rocket, causing Broly to sweatdrop at his antics, "Let's go fishing! There is always some in the stream in the woods over there." He gestured with his tail as he spoke, brushing the dust off his clothes.
"I swear, you're the most childish person I know, especially where food is involved." Broly said. *Well, he's the only person I know besides Grandpa.* Broly thought to himself. "Alright, let's go get some dinner." He added, following Goku to the stream. As they reached the water, both boys declothed themselves, Goku throwing his to the ground while Broly folded his neatly. They both caught a huge fish, each one enough to feed an entire normal family for days. They dried themselves off, put their clothes back on, and began to lug their fish back to the house. They were almost there when each of their ears picked up a strange noise making it's way down the dirt road to their house. They each turned around, just in time to see a big metal machine making it's way toward them. Broly jumped out of the way in time, but Goku was hit. The machine screeched to a halt, and a door opened on it's side. Out stepped a tall, humanoid figure. It ran towards Goku, only to be halted by Broly, who stood protectively in front of him.
"Who are you?" he said semi angrily, "Are you a person?" The figure looked at him in confusion, contemplating his question.
*What does he mean, "Am I a person," of course I am.* She then said, "Relax kid, I am Bulma Briefs, and yes, of course, I'm a person." Broly's eyebrow lifted, and he partially dropped out of his defensive stance. He was about to speak, but was then distracted by Goku getting up and rubbing his head where the machine struck him.
"Well if you're a person, what the heck did you hit me for?" he asked with a pouting look on his face. He walked over towards her with his staff, prodding her with curiosity. Broly walked closer as well, looking Bulma up and down as if she were a painting or statue. Bulma blushed at his inspection and took a step back, smacking Goku's staff away at the same time.
"Quit touching me with that thing! You're not supposed to touch girls you don't know dummy!" Bulma screeched. She then took out her a circular electronic and fiddled with a few buttons. When she put it back in her pocket she asked, "Do either of you know where a dragon ball would be around here?" They both stood there with confused looks on their faces thinking, *Why does she want a dragon's balls?* Bulma sweatdropped at their ignorance and then began to think. *Hmm, maybe they live around here, and the ball is at their house or something.* she pondered.
"Well then, I think that since you all crashed my car you should at least take me to your house to fix my injuries," she said. They stood there for a moment, still confused, and shared a dumbfounded look on their faces. Broly was the first to recover, stepping forward.
"You're a girl?" he asked, having never seen one before, "I don't believe you. You'll have to prove it before we take you to our house." He crossed his arms and smirked, thinking that he caught her in the act. He felt rather smart until she smacked him on the head with an angry look on her face.
"YOU IDIOT I'M NOT GONNA DO THAT!" she yelled, "JUST TAKE TO YOUR HOUSE ALREADY!" Broly was going to strike her back, but he remembered that his grandpa told him never to hit girls. Also, he was afraid she was going to yell again, since his superhuman ears could barely take it anymore. The boys picked up their fish and made their way to the hut they called a home, all the while Goku poked and prodded Bulma with his staff as if she were some sort of monster. *I should let Broly handle the conversation. He is much better with his words, and she's really scary.* he concluded.
They finally reached the hut with Goku taking his and Broly's fish and beginning to cook them over the fire they kept. Broly went to get the first aid kit that Grandpa Gohan left them, and gave it to Bulma. She did little more that rub an alcohol wipe on herself. Broly just shrugged his shoulders and sat next to Goku, taking control of his fish. Goku began telling Bulma of how they lived out in the woods and, to Bulma's major surprise, he showed her his and Broly's tails. Once Bulma finally calmed down and Goku finished talking, they waited quietly for a few minutes until an outburst from Bulma made them jump.
"Aha! There it is, the four star ball!" she proudly proclaimed. She stood up and grabbed the ball off of it's pouch and was about to put it in her pouch when Goku snatched it from her angrily.
"You can't have Grandpa Gohan, he's ours." he said, holding the ball protectively. He looked to Broly for confirmation.
Broly shook his head, telling Goku, "For the last time, that ball is not Grandpa. It's just an old trinket of his." He walked over to Goku, taking the ball and putting it in Bulma's hand. "If you want it, take it. However," he started with a serious look on his face, "You'd better give me a good reason for you wanting our only memory of our Grandpa." Bulma's face went from surprised to sympathetic when Broly mentioned the boy's late grandfather. *These poor boys must be all alone out here, at least since their grandfather died. I should at least give them a proper explanation for why I need the ball.* she thought. She then took a deep breath and began the tale of the dragon balls and what they did. She then told them of her status as the heir to the Capsule Corporation, and why she wanted the dragon balls. Once she finished her story, she waited for a reaction. Goku seemed to want to speak, however he waited for Broly to come to a decision first. Broly's face showed hints of confusion, contemplation and then, finally, determination.
"So, you want to use our Grandfather's ball, along with all the other dragon balls, to wish for a perfect boyfriend? I can't let that happen." he said finally. Bulma was about to retort but was silenced by Broly, who raised his hand to signal her to stop talking. "I didn't say you couldn't have the ball, just that you can't wish for something stupid like that. Therefore I have decided, we will accompany you on your quest to find the dragon balls. That way I can be sure it goes to good use." he said with finality. He looked to Goku and watched as Goku thought for a bit, then nodded. They both then looked challengingly at Bulma, waiting for her reply. Bulma had an unsure look on her face and thought about it. Eventually her face fell and she let her shoulders sag.
"I guess I don't really have a choice in this, do I?" she said. "Alright then. Let's get going, and find those other balls!" she said as she stood up straight and smiled.
High above the sky and across the world, a certain green skinned guardian smiled warmly. He then said to no one in particular, "It seems their adventure has finally begun."
TIMESKIP
Broly, Goku and Bulma set off on a journey to find the of the Dragon Balls. First they met a dehydrated turtle and, after taking it to the sea, met Master Roshi. He
gave them the 3 star ball and the Flying Nimbus, a cloud which the pure hearted could ride. Both Bulma and Master Roshi would fall through, but Goku and Broly
could ride it. They then set off to gather the rest of the Dragon Balls, gaining new companions in: Oolong, a shape shifting perverted pig; Puar, a shape shifting
floating cat; and Yamcha, a desert bandit. Each of them were easily beaten by Goku and Broly, and decided to join after seeing the strength of the boys. They then
went to Fry-Pan Mountain, meeting the Ox King and his daughter Chichi. Broly found Chichi quite annoying, but she immediately took a liking to Goku. The group then
returned to Roshi's island to get the Bansho fan, however the fan was nowhere to be found. Master Roshi then joined them at Fry-Pan Mountain, using his famous
Kamehameha Wave to put out the fire. Though the mountain was destroyed, they found a Dragon Ball in the rubble. Both Goku and Broly then showed their ability to
easily replicate the Kamehameha Wave, to everyone else's surprise. The Dragon Balls were then stolen by a gang of criminals under the rule of Emperor Pilaf, who
was going to use them to wish for immortality. The dragon Shenron was then summoned but after a rather easy battle, Pilaf's gang was defeated and Oolong wished
for panties so that Pilaf could not use the wish for evil. Afterwards, the group decided to go their separate ways for a while, with Goku and Broly returning to Master
Roshi's island to train. They then met with another prospective student, Krillin, and went to find a girl for Master Roshi so that he would train them. They returned
with Launch, a personality switching bluenette. Master Roshi then agreed to train them. This is where we pick up.
Age 749, Kame House
Broly looked at the outfit that Master Roshi had given him, trying to figure out why the old man wanted him to wear it. *This wouldn't even be good for training. It's too weak and it barely covers anything. He's probably just making us wear them so Launch will wear one, that old perv.* he thought. For some reason unknown to himself, Broly become greatly angered whenever the old man tried perverted things on Launch, almost to the point of being defensive. Broly brushed off his thoughts and crumpled up his and Goku's maid outfits. *I'm not going to wear this, and I can't let Goku either. It would be an insult to our pride.* Broly walked through the house toward the door but caught a sight that confused him. There stood Launch in the outfit that the old man wanted them all to wear. To his confusion, he felt his face heat up as he blushed at the sight. *Ugh, I'm no better than that old geezer,* he thought.
"What's up with your face?"
"Wha-?" Broly said as he jumped. He turned to see Goku looking at Launch confused.
"Why did your face turn all red when you looked at Launch?" Goku asked, ignorant of Broly's embarrassment.
"N-nothing. Let's just go outside and start training." Broly said as he pushed Goku out the door. They went outside and Master Roshi started their training for the day.
Over the next few months of training both Broly and Goku gained strength at incredible speeds. Both had far surpassed Krillin, and could even give their master a run for his money. Both boys still had great respect for the turtle hermit however, and had bonded with him greatly. Broly's confusion regarding Launch grew the more he saw her, but she seemed not to notice. Then one day Master Roshi brought up the World Martial Arts Tournament. All three boys decided to sign up. Broly and Goku were both especially excited at the idea of facing strong opponents. They traveled to the island where the Tournament would take place, and they met with Yamcha, Bulma, and the rest of the crew. Once they finished with the sign in, Goku looked to Broly with a look of determination and anticipation.
"You know Broly, if we both advance far enough, we'll get to finally figure out who is stronger." Goku stated with a smirk. Broly looked back with a confident grin.
"I think we already know who is stronger," Broly replied cockily. "But at least give me a good fight."
Goku just smirked again and said, "We'll figure out for sure when we fight. Just don't lose before we meet." As the two boys stared each other down the speakers began to buzz, followed by an announcement.
"Attention all fighters. Please report to the preliminary arena. In 10 minutes, the World Martial Arts Tournament will officially begin!"
Finally, the story officially begins. Was that a Broly vs Goku teaser at the end? Maybe. Anyway, next up, the World Martial Arts Tournament begins. Now, for me to clear a few things up.
1) Broly's power was sealed by Kami (As stated in the prologue) to the point where he is about Goku's level. What this means is that he will have to work to gain power, just like Goku does. Eventually his power may be unsealed, but that is a while off (Otherwise he would one shot everyone in the series all the way up to Cell).
2) Broly and Goku will be a good bit stronger than Goku was in canon, since they train together and have had more zenkais. This does not mean they will be insanely powerful, but instead they will just be stronger than normal.
3) When it comes to LSSJ, I will be giving my take on how that works. I will stick as close to the movie's explanation as I can, but will change things where I see fit.
Also, If this chapter seems sub-par, it is because Dragon Ball is simply not as action packed as DBZ is. This does not mean that there won't be incredible fights, it just means that there was really no room for action in this chapter, since I skipped so much of the less exciting things. Next time however, we will get to see some incredible fights.
As for my question in the prologue regarding Raditz, I have decided that due to your reviews he will not be a main character. Now, for my questions to you readers.
1) Who should Broly end up with? Bulma(Who is second to Launch in the reviews), Launch(Who is winning by the reviews), and OC, or someone else. (Note. Chichi is out. I have decided to keep the Goku/Chichi couple due to your reviews.)
2) Should Vegeta be a main character? I do plan to have canon Trunks, so he will be there for a while, but I am asking if I should keep him for good.
3) Should I do a power level chart? Would you all appreciate that? Or should I leave it a secret?
Please answer these in a review. Also, anything I haven't brought up that you want to give input on please feel free to comment that in a review also. Any support or criticisms are appreciated.
Thank you for reading Saiyans of Legend. Please come back for the next chapter in the story of the legendary saiyans!
