Chapter 8 - Family Reunion Pt.2
"Huh?" Said Goku, tilting his head and making a confused expression on his face. Morningjewel blinked. "Y-You know my mother?" Asked Morningjewel, holding onto her surprise. 'Why isn't Broly fighting?' Wondered Krillin. Broly nodded his head. "You wouldn't remember," he said. "You were small at the time." Morningjewel sttod there agaped. "I'll explain," said Broly. "If you get me out." Morningjewel thought for moment. "JEW!" Shouted Nuclear who is now helping Vegeta get back to his feet. "Whatever you do, don't listen to him!" Morningjewel said nothing. "Don't worry, I won't hurt anyone." Said Broly, narrowing his eyes on Goku now. Morningjewel smirked in response. "I'd love to do that, but I've seen people do the same thing to me and ended up being the ones who wanted me dead." She began forming an emerald green force field so thick even Broly couldn't escape. Everyone led out a sigh of relief.
A few hours later (I was lazy :p), everyone went to do their own thing. Nuclear played with Goten and Trunks, Piccolo trained Khaos, Vegeta working out at the Gravity Chamber, and Goku and Krillin sparring each other. While Broly was sitting inside the field, Morningjewel was watching him so he wouldn't escape. Although, to me, I wouldn't say she was "watching". Morningjewel looked at her crystal ball. She kept it with her since the incident happened and during those years, she realized that it was a source of energy that it can be used in different ways. She searched for the other gem-like balls across the land and to do that, she used the one her mother had as a tracking device. Anyways, back to the story here! As Morningjewel held the emerald ball in her hand, Broly could see a tear falling on her cheeks. "Why are you crying?" Broly asked. Morningjewel quickly wiped the tear away. "Nothing," she replied. "Doesn't look like there's nothing," he said, sitting beside her (he's still in the force field in case if you're confused). "How would you know?" Asked Morningjewel. This time Broly didn't reply. There was silence for a while. "Why did you attack Goku?" Asked Morningjewel. Again, no response, but she could tell that he clutched his hands tightly. Morningjewel sighed and looked back at the crystal ball. Broly turned his head seeing her looking at the ball. "What is that in your hand?" Asked Broly. "Why do you want to know?" Said Morningjewel. Once again, no response. 'Why is he talking to me?' She wondered. "May I look at it?" He asked. Morningjewel sighed and handed him the green ball. Broly held the ball in his hand, seeing a green gem inside. "Where did you get this?" "My mother gave it to me," Morningjewel replied. "It was supposed to be a birthday present for me, but she . . . . she was . . ." Morningjewel could feel her throat holding back the pain she saw long ago. But it was too late; Broly could see the tears forming in her teal eyes. "I understand," Broly said. "H-How?" Morningjewel choked as she tries not to cry. "Because," he said as he placed the ball on Morningjewel's hand. "I've seen it happen to your mother. And yet she did it for everyone's safety. Especially yours too." Morningjewel had heard someone say that before. She looked at the ball then at Broly. Morningjewel was little when the disappearance of her father happened, although her mother never told her about it, she felt like maybe, just maybe . . . . Morningjewel got up to her feet and faced Belly who also got up. Morningjewel held hands up and began to glow. "Huh?" Said Broly as the emerald force field began to to fade away. As the force field stop at its end, Morningjewel lowered her hands and walk towards him. Broly made a confused expression on his face that signified the sentence "What was that for?" But before he was about to speak, she quickly wrapped her hands around his waist, forming a hug. Broly hesitated at this action and his face almost heated up, but it quickly faded away and hugged her back. "I missed you Daddy." Said Morningjewel as she let the tears fall. Broly smiled and brought her closer to him. "I missed you too."
