Once fast asleep, you had been awoken by the sound of yelling. Groggily sitting up on the stone bed where you lay, you almost wondered if you were imagining things when seeing Goku's form flying down past your window while Broly seemed to be pursuing him?
"Huh?" you murmured, blinking multiple times before standing up and walking over to your window. A gasp left your lips when seeing Broly viciously attacking Goku who seemed to be trying to dodge his blows, clearly not wanting to engage in combat.
You rushed over to your brother who laid on the other bed in the crudely made room, pushing on his form to awaken him. It was actually amazing the energies hadn't disturbed him. "Vegeta! I think Goku may be in trouble!"
"…Ignore it. Their little spat is of no concern of mine," Vegeta said crossly, not even bothering to open his eyes while he turned his back to you.
You puffed up your cheeks and would have pushed him off the bed, yet you knew there was no time to argue. Even though they had flown a good distance from the palace, you could feel Broly's energy flourishing, and you quickly made your way toward it.
"Selena! Stay back! His energy is the one I've been following!" Goku cautioned, causing you to pause in mid-flight instead of landing where the spiky haired male stood.
"What?" you whispered, lavender orbs widening wondering if that meant Broly was the Legendary Super Saiyan? From the animalistic yells and immense greenish-yellow energy that surrounded his form, he certainly did seem rather formidable. Even his muscles seemed more bulgy than before.
"Broly! Cut this out! Stop! I command you!" Paragus shouted, landing not far in the distance as you noticed he was once again holding out his hand with the blue gem upon it glowing.
"Listen to what your father's telling you! Calm down, please!" Goku tried to reason with a concerned frown.
Paragus approached his son closer while Broly let out a rather sadistic sounding laugh, sneering down at his father. "Stop it, Broly! Stop it now!" the older Saiyan yelled out desperately.
Very slowly Broly began to calm down, his energy fading and becoming much weaker as he returned to his original more relaxed state.
"I apologize for the disturbance, princess. It won't happen again. Come, my son," Paragus muttered, sending you a quick bow before he was flying off with Broly.
Is Paragus controlling Broly with that gem of his? It's almost like its restraining Broly's full power you realized, biting down on the inside of your mouth while your hand moved to rest on the pouch at your side. Almost like my crystals do for…me….
Despite what had happened last night, Goku had told you with a smile everything was going to be okay. You had held back from telling Vegeta Broly was possibly the one he was seeking, knowing he wouldn't believe you in the end. But maybe that had been the wrong decision since your brother was heading for Paragus' ship to leave the planet and continue his search, followed by Broly and you.
"Wait! Wait, King Vegeta! Hear me out!" Paragus cried out breathlessly as he stopped in front of the dark haired warrior. "My lord, we've found him. We should be able to pinpoint his location by tomorrow in the latest."
Vegeta just let out an annoyed growl, walking past Paragus, only to pause when realizing Broly had stopped in his tracks. "Come on! What are you waiting for?"
"K-Ka..karot…." Broly said through gritted teeth when hearing Goku loudly calling for Vegeta as the cheerful Saiyan seemed to already be inside of the large space craft.
"Vegeta, you don't have to go anywhere. The Super Saiyan you're looking for is right here," Goku announced, his words you noticed, causing Paragus to grind his teeth.
"Stay out of this! You have no idea what you're talking about!" Vegeta snapped, furrowing his brows at Goku when the Saiyan flew out of the ship and landed in front of all of you.
"Paragus, why don't you tell Vegeta here that Broly is the Legendary Super Saiyan," Goku said casually with a smile, his onyx orbs landing on the tan warrior.
"Vegeta, he must be confused. That's preposterous! Not to mention completely impossible, my lord. Look at him! He has less power than I do! The boy is pitiful, can't you see that? Let's drop this nonsense and return to your palace,"
"Father! Don't listen to him!" Trunks exclaimed, making his presence known as he landed beside Goku. "This so called Planet Vegeta is nothing but a fake. An illusion! Just look at that! Ruins!" Trunks motioned over to where it looked like a large city was being constructed. "He didn't build this for you. Paragus twisted everything you see here using these disadvantaged people. They'll tell you everything!"
You glanced down at a nearby cliff where you saw the small child from before and his people as the boy was shakily pointing at Broly. "That's him! That's the one who destroyed our home planet!"
"You tricked me?!" Vegeta said lowly, turning to glare sharply at Paragus.
Paragus closed his one good eye, letting out a dark chuckle. "Heh! Its about time your spoiled miniscule brain figured it all out. Your son is most certainly right though, Vegeta. This meaningless place has no value to me. Its been miserable here putting on this charade, but do you want to know what I really care about? It's a little sphere in the north galaxy called earth!"
"Ahahahaha! A lush green, healthy planet! The most beautiful in the cosmos! You have no idea how long I've waited for the right time to reestablish Saiyan dominance. You think I want the earth to look like this?!" Paragus continued, walking amongst all of you. "A barren waste land littered with battle scars and rubble! Of course not! Which is why I've decided to create this elaborate ruse!"
Paragus let out another chuckle while sending Vegeta a snide smile. "An imaginary town for an imaginary prince. Oh how your father would be laughing at you right now…Oh and just one more thing I forgot to mention to you fools. I also chose this planet because in a few short hours it will collide with comet Camori. An astronomical object of colossal proportions! And when you're gone, our rule of earth or any planet will go completely uncontested!"
Broly slowly started to approach Goku, yelling out his Saiyan name over and over again as his energy dangerously spiked, ignoring Paragus who was telling him Goku wasn't worth it.
"No! This Saiyan is mine! RAAAAAAAAAH!" Vegeta declared, going Super Saiyan as he lunged at Broly, aiming a kick at his thick neck that didn't even seem to faze the long haired Saiyan.
"Whoa! Vegeta's attack was like nothing to him!" Goku voiced in mild amazement. His eyes narrowed seriously before he jumped back a few steps. "Lets get something straight. Some friends call me Kakarot, but I'm Goku! And you're not my friend!"
"Hahahahaha! Well, I might not have to wait for the comet to see you die. It seems Broly has other plans for you. Broly, attack!"
You furrowed your brows at Paragus, wondering why he seemed to have so much hatred for members of his own race? "I don't understand any of this! You say you want to establish Saiyan dominance, but you're planning to wipe out what remains of the Saiyan's…That's not rational at all!"
"Taking out scum like you is completely rational, princess. Though you may be the last of the female Saiyan's, I cannot risk having you give birth to a half-born. No matter how much power would come from such a being," Paragus told you with a cruel smirk. "Broly gives me enough trouble."
His words left you feeling both confused and troubled, but you were unable to question Paragus on what he meant because Trunks had quickly grabbed you to pull you out of harms way from the powerful blast Vegeta had sent at Broly. You would have been sent sailing backwards like Paragus was otherwise.
"I don't think now's a good time to be spacing out," Trunks told you with a small smile, eyes narrowing when Broly let out a scream; an unearthly green glow surrounding his body.
Once back on his feet, a look of pure fear was on Paragus' face no doubt because Broly was causing the entire planet to shake just from the power he was unleashing. "Easy! Calm down, Broly! You'll destroy the planet! Enough! I'm telling you to stop!"
Broly only let out a rather psychotic sounding laugh, the sky darkening while lighting crackled around the area. After calming down for a moment, only to let out a fierce battle cry, you noticed the crown he had once been wearing on his forehead shattered; his black hair now a greenish-yellow while the energy coming from the heavily muscular male caused you to shiver.
"Vegeta?" you murmured, your concern turning on your brother when noticing he was shockingly trembling himself. Not only that, but he had landed on his knees while transforming out of his Super Saiyan form.
"He's…the one. The Saiyan of legend…." Vegeta said through haggard breaths of air once you were beside him. He didn't even look this frightened when your battle against Frieza had seemed hopeless….
"You, Kakarot. I choose you to be the first of my victims," Broly said in his rough voice, a cruel smirk on his face while his eyes were completely white and seemed devoid of any humanity within them.
"No you don't!" Gohan exclaimed boldly, moving protectively in front of his father who seemed taken aback by Broly's strength himself.
Goku quickly knocked Gohan out of the way when Broly charged straight for him, the two of them just barely being able to dodge the green blast he then launched.
"Their in trouble! C'mon, dad!" Trunks cried out in panic when seeing Broly suddenly upon Gohan, blasting the poor boy who started to fall; thankfully Goku managing to catch him before he could crash into the trees below.
"…He'll kill us. He'll kill all of us…I heard stories, but I wasn't sure he existed…." Vegeta murmured, completely frozen with fear where he didn't follow after Trunks who had taken off without hesitation.
"It makes sense that only you could truly feel the depth and magnitude of Broly's power," Paragus spoke up, walking up to the two of you, a dark smirk on his features. "Tell me, Selena. I'm sure ever since you've arrived, you've felt a connection with my son, correct? Now that he is broken from my control and become a true Super Saiyan, he's become a killing machine. Just what both of you were always meant to be…."
"W-what are you talking about? You're not even making any sense!" you uttered, kneeling beside your brother; a hand resting on his tense shoulder while you glared up at Paragus.
"So, your father never told you? How you were born for nothing more than experimental purposes…."
It felt like your form had been cloaked in ice while your brain was having difficulty processing what you had just heard. "I-I don't…understand…."
"What don't you understand? Broly is a half-Saiyan like you. Born from a Tuffle mother, the same as you," Paragus said harshly. "While most of the Tuffles were wiped out, many were kept as trophies. That's how your dear father learned when a Saiyan and Tuffle mate, a child of unimaginable power is born. And so, he picked out his best warriors to procreate with the females where he hoped to create the perfect warrior. However, there were…complications…."
Paragus glanced up at the sky where Broly was engaged in fierce combat with Goku, Trunks, and Gohan. "Many of the children's power was so great, they were unable to cope with it and died right after birth along with their mothers. The few babies that did manage to survive, their power was far too great and appeared unstable, so they were put down when your dear father realized he couldn't control them. This was the case for my son….
"I pleaded with King Vegeta to spare Broly, that he would be a great asset to you and your brother. After all, you were a mixed breed and were completely stable, even pathetically weak. Yet your father was threatened Broly would become too great a threat for him, so we were left to die and thrown out like garbage…!
"Ironically enough that same day, Frieza would have our planet. Not us…Some how, Broly harnessed his power and liberated us from the blast. And since then, I have lived only for revenge. If not on King Vegeta, than on the next best thing: his offspring," Paragus concluded in a cold tone. "You will now have to experience the fear and pain we endured for so long! And then…you will die!"
You gripped at your chest, finding it difficult to breathe. All those times you had felt an intense rage, a need to destroy; the moment when you had first became a Super Saiyan and nearly blew up an island inhabited with countless innocents…it was all because of your DNA.
Does that mean, I'm going to end up like Broly one day you pondered, tears forming in your eyes when you glanced up at his hovering form, seeing the destruction he was causing with his deadly Ki blasts. Yet this wasn't what caused the most pain to your heart.
"Vegeta, is what Paragus said true…? Was I nothing but some experiment to father? Did he actually…hate my mother and me…?" you questioned in a cracked voice.
Vegeta was silent for the longest time, his eyes closed before he finally said, "I honestly had no idea about father using Tuffles to try and create some ultimate soldier…Perhaps your mother may have started out as nothing more than a breeding tool, but father did care for her. If he hadn't, then he wouldn't have shed tears during her death…."
Your brother's onyx orbs opened where he gave you a sharp look. "I don't know what's going through that head of yours right now, but your not and never were a test subject. Father wouldn't have given a damn about you otherwise…And another thing, you will never be like that bastard Broly!"
"What a touching speech, King Vegeta. But are you certain you're not just trying to deny the fact that your baby sister may one day end up more powerful than you like Broly clearly is," Paragus snorted out, earning a heated look. "Just look! Even as Super Saiyans' your friends are clearly about to be massacred!"
You wiped the tears from your eyes, seeing that Paragus was unfortunately speaking the truth. When seeing that their attacks were having no effect on Broly, they fled for the ruins. Most likely to have some form of cover in case they needed to escape.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?! If they clearly can't beat him, what chance do you think you'll have?!" Vegeta affirmed, gripping tightly onto your wrist when you slowly started to hover up into the air.
"…If Broly does have Tuffle blood in him like me, then maybe there's a possibility I can calm him down. Maybe…just maybe he can't help these destructive urges of his," you voiced with a weak smile. "Please. Let me try…."
Vegeta grinded his teeth, but hesitantly let go of your wrist and you gave him a grateful look before taking off to where your friends were. Goku and the others seemed to be having a stare down with Broly, but you had no idea why Krillin, Master Roshi, Oolong, and the little aliens were in such a dangerous area….
"So, the little slaves decided to be brave," Broly taunted when his attention moved on the small green skinned and pink haired aliens who were shivering and holding onto each other. "I notice that you like to look up at the sky at your silly little planet. Your probably dreaming that you can go back there someday?"
Your orbs widened when realizing what he meant to do, quickly appearing behind him as you placed a crystal against his back. "I know its not your fault you're causing so much mindless destruction, Broly…You're not in control of your emotions, but you can be…."
"Wh-what the hell do you think you're doing?!" Broly growled out, gripping at his head in what looked to be pain.
"I-I don't believe it…Broly's power is starting to fade…!" Trunks gasped out, his lips parted in amazement.
A faint smile was on your face since he was flashing back and forth between his blond haired self to his black haired one. "That's it. You're not just some monster, Broly. You were never a threat, and didn't deserve what happened to you…."
"No…No…NOOOOO!" Broly roared out, making you cry out in pain since he had suddenly backhanded you into one of the cliffs.
"S-Selena?!" Gohan yelled out in horror since your clearly winded form was suddenly being lifted up by Broly; one of his large hands tightly wrapping around your neck and making you gag.
"Stupid girl. I enjoy this power and the destruction," Broly told you with a maddening smile. "Seeing you all cowering in fear and knowing that your end is near, feels me with immense enjoyment."
You flinched when he moved his face close your neck, taking in your scent.
"So, father was right. You're a half-breed like me…I can smell it. Hah! Then you must desire it too. The need for power, the need for destruction!" Broly exclaimed with a boisterous laugh, turning slightly so he could aim his hand at a nearby planet. "Maybe you haven't witnessed enough destruction to know how much you crave it!"
"P-please…stop…." you wheezed out, but your words were heard on deaf ears as Broly merely laughed, sending a single ball of energy that completely destroyed the small aliens' planet.
"He's…he's pure evil…." Gohan murmured out, his eyes wide in complete shock.
"If we let this dirt bag live, he'll taint and destroy the entire universe!" Trunks mumbled with clear anger.
"Krillin, I need you to get everyone out of here!" Goku instructed in a clear tone that meant not to argue, his harsh glare focused on Broly. "Let go of her now, Broly!"
Broly just chuckled, carelessly tossing you to the side where you coughed, trying to catch your breath-lunging at Trunks first; his large arm wrapping around the poor teens neck where he slammed him hard enough against a cliff that it left an indentation.
"Kakarot? How much do you love your son?" Broly asked, turning to look back at Goku with a malicious grin.
Goku narrowed his eyes, instructing Gohan to leave, the young boy doing so despite the clear hesitation on his features before the two were charging at one another, gripping onto each others arms to hold the other back. Goku lifted up his knee, hitting Broly in the chin, but it had absolutely no effect and Broly ended up picking him up, throwing Goku backwards and right into a ledge.
"D-damn it!" Goku hacked out when Broly took off at top speed, heading in the direction where Gohan had gone.
"Selena, you should go back to father," Trunks told you before flying off with Goku, the two rushing off to help Gohan who was no doubt in desperate need of it.
You noticed your crystal laying on the ground, amazed that it hadn't been shattered, gingerly picking it up and holding it close to your chest.
I sort of feel bad for Broly. Despite all the horrible things he did, it wasn't his fault…My father is the reason he's like this…But killing him might be the only way to end his madness you pondered sadly, placing the crystal safely back in its pouch and taking in a breath of air before you shot off to where the others were.
Your eyes widened when seeing Gohan's unconscious form hanging from a knob on one of the building's; his father, who was trying to rush for him, getting hit with one ki blast after another by Broly.
"Why don't you give up?" Broly goaded, charging up a larger blast to hit Goku's battered body with.
"I-I never really learned how to…." Goku said with an awkward grin and laugh; wincing as he was sent crashing into a tall building.
You frowned, crouching down in mid-air to gather up energy before extending your hand above your head where four good sized purple blasts formed. "Crusher…Volcano!" you yelled out, sending the blasts at Broly-finishing the move with a much larger golden blast.
Light pants left your lips as you waited on the smoke to clear, only to gasp seeing a grinning Broly shooting toward you, grabbing you by your ankle and swinging you around before he sent you crashing to the ground.
"Did you really think…you could injure me, girl?" Broly said through large pants. "I'm becoming stronger…Yes…much stronger…!"
An orb of green surrounded the power hungry being, and blasts of ki went shooting off all over the planet, destroying anything they came into contact with including the only ship you had to escape on.
"Ahahahahahah! What's the problem, Kakarot? Have you given up?" Broly questioned in amusement since in your damaged or unconscious forms, none of you were even able to move. "Then say goodbye to your son!"
Broly charged up yet another blast, sending it straight for Gohan, only for a yellow energy to come out of nowhere and stop the Ki before it could hit.
"What?" Broly grunted out, turning his attention on where the energy came from. "Oh? A little green bug has come to get squashed."
Even though your aching body was screaming at you to lay still, you managed to lift up slightly to see Piccolo standing on a pointed building; his cape coolly blowing in the wind. Piccolo...you really did come...
"You usually pick on the children first?" Piccolo questioned in a cold tone.
"I do what needs to be done. What do you expect...from a true freak? HAHAHAHAHAH!" Broly finished off with a sickening laugh.
Piccolo had flown off to retrieve Gohan, landing right where you were and placing the boy beside you, inserting a Senzu Bean into his mouth. "Gohan, wake up. Eat."
Hearing his mentor's voice seemed to cause Gohan to respond, and he slowly chewed on the bean before opening his eyes. "Piccolo? Piccolo! You're here?!"
The Namekian just gave Gohan a small smirk, helping him to sit up before he turned his attention on you. "I thought I told you to be careful?"
"I'm glad to see you, but you really shouldn't have come here…." you expressed weakly, blushing when Piccolo knelt beside you, lifting up your form where it was against his before he placed the bean into your mouth.
Piccolo just grunted, pulling you up to your feet once your body was healed. "I had a feeling you guys were in trouble. Especially after overhearing Goku and King Kai's conversation,"
"I'm not sure if it's a good thing you can overhear people's thoughts or not," you said with a smile, yet you were as amazed as ever by the techniques your mate possessed.
Piccolo simply gave you a smirk before he headed off toward Goku and Trunks to give them the Senzu Beans. You remained close to Gohan, thankful Broly was staying in the distance and unleashing that chilling laugh of his. This whole situation was like one huge game to him….
Maybe if we all fight Broly at once, we can defeat him you thought, following Gohan up into the air when he took off to where Goku, Trunks and Piccolo had surrounded the huge warrior. Vegeta…I know your scared, I am too…but we really need you right now….
(A/N: Hee hee! This was an original idea a friend of mine helped me come up with. Since Tuffles and Saiyan's seemed to have a strong hatred toward each other, it's an interesting thought that they shouldn't even create children together or there will be consequences. Kind of makes it just a little more interesting to why Broly was so insane besides Goku's crying driving him that way. xD So Selena has a darker side that she never knew about hidden under her more gentle persona. Probably one of the reasons she seems to attract villains or former villains. Poor girl. ^^' She may even become an antagonist herself one day in the future~ ;D
And I'm sorry there's not going to be much Broly x Selena interactions in this where he does show an interest in her since I know a few of you would have liked to have seen that...but I'll have a story with these two posted soon. Hopefully it'll turn out to be super cute. x3
Also I just realized when discussing ages with my friend, Selena should technically be older than Goku...Vegeta was 29 when he was on Namek, so Selena would have been 26. And I wrote she was 17 when she arrived on earth...*Bangs head on desk* Probably need to go back and fix that. Actually, Selena is probably older than Piccolo, too. x_x Ages in DBZ are complicating to figure out...)
