My name is Paragus. A saiyan from the planet Vegeta. Once I was a Colonel of my people's army. I left that post to find my son. Who was taken from me unjustly by King Vegeta the 3rd. I am writing this in the event that I've passed on to the next life before anyone has managed to respond to our distress signal. Please above all else, if you are reading this, please ensure that my son can have a life beyond this hell world.

If it is you, my son, reading this. Then I am sorry that I have failed. Just know that from the moment that you were born, I've always been proud of you.

It has been Three Years.

Three years of time that was I was trapped in this hellhole. I had thought that my experience in combat would have prepared me for this landscape, that I'd seen everything that the universe had to offer. And I still believe that to be true. What I hadn't realized was just what I would have to endure stuck on this planet.

There was no food other than those disgusting bugs. No water source at all. I couldn't grasp how that came to be, but me not grasping that wouldn't give me water. So, I am forced to drink the goo that these bug creatures have in their legs.

Only two things sustain me.

My hatred for King Vegeta.

The monster would throw away my son. Just for being jealous at his own being weaker in the tube, for that he feared the potential of my son. He was a coward, not worthy of his metaphorical crown. I would not allow him to destoy Broly's future. I would have my vengence. I would ensure that my Broly has his vengeance.

That was the second thing that sustains. My son.

I would not let everything I'd been through to be for nothing, what my son has been through to be for nothing. Broly is special, in a way that even I hadn't realized. Most of the time, Broly was a gentle boy, far too gentle for a saiyan warrior, far too good for Vampa. But other times he was a savage, a berserker with little control over his actions. Now, that didn't mean he was dangerous to me…

… unless there was a full moon. As an Oozaru, Broly was practically unstoppable. A raging monster that was not only far too strong for me to ever hope to subdue, but also very capable of destroying this world just by accident. If I had help, it would be no issue. Just a single other saiyan and a quick grab his tail in that form, then this wouldn't be an issue. No, I was sadly forced to cut his tail off, and I have done it twice at this stage. I can only hope that I will catch it in time if he regrows it yet again.

My missing eye shows the proof that it would take more than a stern tone to keep Broly under control. No, I would sadly have to resort to more brutal methods to keep Broly's temper in check. It was only by luck that a small amount of an electrical shock would stop my son in his tracks.

I was worried, though. If he did keep getting stronger at the rate he is now, then I may have to up the voltage. Given the area I'd placed the shock collar on him, that meant he would be in a lot of pain once I activated. I would leave this only for the greatest of situations. Too much use of the device and Broly may be too traumatized by my use it.

I suppose I should describe the boy, but that would be a waste. We are the only humanoids on this planet. He should be easy to find if you have found this message. He will be within the area.

Know this, as long as you approach him with an ease and a smile he should return to you the same. It is like I've written before. My son is far too gentle for Vampa. I fear that some of the predators may take advantage of his playful nature. For while he is far stronger than any of them, all it would take is one moment of weakness.

Already, I've had to take action to distance Broly from one of the larger monsters of Vampa. A giant, green, canine-like creature that has somehow evolved so that most of its body is underground. Their mouths are large enough that they could eat even the largest of saiyans in a go.

Broly would play around with the creature. It was worrying. For even the gentlest of canine is known to bite people on occasion, and with this one's size, that just wasn't a risk I was willing to allow. So, I blasted its ear off so that it would not let Broly near it. Broly took that message well enough. There was some crying, but that vanished by the morning.

That was over two months ago, and I am not sure for how much longer I can keep up the demands that this planet aks of me to survive. I at least take solace in the fact that, even though I lack the strength, Broly will live on. I have trained him well enough that even my passing wouldn't lessen his chances at survival.

But please, I ask again. If anyone finds this, take my son away from this hellish landscape. Take my boy home to Planet Vegeta.

So that we may have our vengeance against King Vegeta.

Author's Note: Surprise Interlude. I was just inspired to post this. It is unbeta'd, so I would appreciate my mistakes being pointed out to me so that they can be corrected.

I thought that a look into Paragus would be an interesting interlude given what we learned in the last chapter. What do you think? Have I captured what you thought of him? Have I gone too far one way? YOU MAKE THE CALL!
