### Somewhere in the North ###
.
The pale moon light shined over the silent landscape made everything had a blue tint painted on. Thin cloud was hovering over a few parts in the sky casting a shade of dark over the canopy which was swayed slightly by the night wind, there were a few drakes flying in the distance over the horizon finding their own meal for the night.
Some may call this a peaceful night but the old warriors will always felt unsettling about a silent night.
In a small clearing far in the north, near the border of the Orariens Kingdom, there was a camp belong to a scout team of the said kingdom.
The team consist of 6 persons, one priest, one mage and four espionages. They were all trained in fighting and information gathering.
They were in a mission of finding the bases of the demons.
Currently, they were preparing the meal for the day. Two of the espionages were setting up trap around their camp.
The two females of the team, a mage and an espionage, were making meal for the whole team. They quickly brewed up a pot of stew and some fresh vegetables from the surrounding.
While the two female were taking a rest, the remaining two guys had completed their tents for the night.
When everyone had gathered around the camp fire where their food was cooked, the female espionage spoke up.
"Hey Bert, did you see the tournament last week?"
The priest was folding his white robe neatly and placed it to the side, with a baby face and dreamy wavy brown hair he would be a fine lady man if only he was not a priest. Looking up with his clear blue eyes, he answered his teammate.
"Eh? Yeah, I saw it. The church in the city has its own 'sh-ch-rin' thing so I watched it with them."
"Wow… lucky you. I had to climb to the roof of the bell tower to see it. And it is spelled 'screen', you sucked man." The espionage next to him said poutingly.
"Oi, Mike, man up. You were with me and I didn't complain or are you saying that being with me is unlucky?" The mage girl said menacingly with a dark aura surrounded her. Her long red hair floating slightly, her one beautiful face was now shadowed with her bang but her sharp red eyes were somehow still visible and seemed to gleam a little, that made quite a scary image for everyone around her.
"N-No, please calm down Lara, that's not what I mean! You are my lovely little flower, I can't live without you." Mike with a pale face quickly rushed to his girlfriend, even though quite scared but he was still able to blab about some lame flirty lines.
"Hmm." Lara looked the other way and smile a little at the brown-hair amber eyes boy. She liked to play around with the poor boy, everyone could see that she wore the pant in their relationship.
"Agh! That's sound disgusting! Stop it you two!" The espionage girl with a short statue couldn't take it anymore stood up holding her ears and shouted at them. Her short blonde ponytail swaying around wildly, her light blue eyes looked with disgust at the couple.
"Yeah, I totally agree with Tina on this one."
"Wait, you didn't agree with me before?" Bert ignored Tina question with a straight face.
"Let's get back in the topic guys! I am also interesting in the fights."
"Yeah, me too. I am as curious as our captain here."
The last two man were the captain Zodd and his vice-captain Kane. They were both in their forty and had a lot of experiences on the battlefield. Zodd got a bald head with lots of scars on his body and face, and his body was quite big, a head taller than his team and steel-like muscle. His black eyes surprisingly were like that of a kind grandpa, well, an unknowing person might say that but his teammates would say he was a fox with the strength of a giant bear, he was a captain of a scout team after all.
Tina quickly took the lead.
"Right! The fights looked so awesome! She was like *Vuss* *Vuss* and her opponent's weapon shattered left and right."
She was excitedly swinging her hands around to imitate the hero.
"People are very excited about the fights but if I recalled correctly, in the entire tournament she only attacked once, and that was because the champion of Locarina requested it." The vice-captain Kane said with his hand support his chin, his stubble beard, black short hair and black eyes made him look quite the warrior but unfortunately he was a scout type.
Locarina was the kingdom to the south of their kingdom. It was famous for its warrior's quality, almost all the great warriors of the past came from that kingdom. Luckily their king was a battle maniac and not a war monger.
"Well, seeing the destruction of her fist no wonder she didn't attack at all. I mean they can't keep repairing the arena each fight right?" Mike commented with an understanding nod on the only attack the hero made.
"No, you idiot! She didn't mind about the arena but her opponents. Can you imagine yourself taking that hit? You will turn into mist along with the rubble behind you!"
His red-hair girlfriend corrected him with a fist on his head.
The captain looked thoughtful for a moment and said.
"I think that she held back a lot in that attack."
"Huh? How do you know that captain? Wasn't the attack pretty strong?" Tina asked with her head till to the side, her ponytail made a small sway in the air.
"Just think about it. If that was her full strength or even half her strength she would be able to attack her opponents to end the tournament quicker without problem."
"What do you mean? She can't attack her opponents?" Tina asked again with a confused look on her face.
Surprisingly, Bert the priest was the one answer her.
"What captain Zodd meant was that the hero couldn't hold back enough yet. If she attacked everyone will die even though she hold back to the limit. Well she could grab or push her opponents around, she could open doors after all but that is not a fight and her opponents will be humiliated."
"Yeah, Bert is right. I am surprised that you know so much about this kind of thing Bert." The vice-captain agreed with Bert and looked at him with a curious look.
"I was at the church in the city when the Pope came to check the condition of the statue of the goddess. That time there was someone who asked how strong the hero was. The Pope said that if you pissed her off enough she would flip the continent over like you flipped a table. Everyone think that was a joke, but I guess yesterday proved otherwise huh."
"I think she may actually capable of that." Mike said while still holding his head.
"Yeah, just look at the match. Even the champion couldn't take an attack from the hero, and that fist wasn't even connected, just the wind force alone knocked him out." Zodd said with one hand massage his bald head.
"Well, except the one attack she made, the whole tournament looked like a competition to see who can land a hit on the hero, and there are no winner at all." Lara the red-hair mage said cheerfully, she felt proud somehow with the fact that the hero was a girl even though she was some kind of golem.
"Oh, right Bert! You just mention about the Pope, what is she like?" Tina excitedly asked.
"Why do you ask? I am not acquaintance with her."
"Come on! You are from the church, you must know more than everyone." Tina persisted on.
"She has a point you know. Don't be stingy, just tell us." Lara joined in on Tina side, she also wanted to know.
"Alright, I guess it is not much of a secret but she is quite… energetic and doesn't care much for tradition, which is fine by everyone except the old men."
"Eh, isn't it problematic to make enemy of those old bastards? No offend Bert!" Tina quickly followed up after her slip of tongue.
"It's fine. Everyone thought the same but the past month, she shown us that the church was now her playground, er… home, anyone messed with her or the church all had their property donated 'voluntarily' to some charity events she held. And what's more, the king approved of it."
"Ah! So that is why there were so many charity events lately! Poor old bastards!" Tina was chipping without a shed of sympathy, not like anyone did.
"But it is quite a surprise to know that beneath that kind and happy-go-lucky face is a cunning and frightening girl." Lara honestly put in her thought.
"It's not like she is planning all day you know. My colleague in the capital said that once he was in the hall together with the Pope, she was studying magic under Priestess Diana the ex-Pope, then it happened."
"W-What happened? Don't stop in the middle like that! It's so mean!" Tina impatiently asked.
Bert paused a little longer to increase the drama.
"Cardinal Mason came around together with two bishops and started to criticize her for being unbefitting the position and didn't have the ability to handle the church." He looked around and continued.
"And you know what she did? She stood up facing everyone in the hall and announced casually: 'Oh, I forgot to tell you all that tomorrow there will be a charity event at the slum district. I thank the Cardinal for reminding me. By the way, Cardinal Mason and the two bishops here are the sponsors for the event, please give them an applause.'. And as she said they all honestly clapped and praised the trio."
He signed and smiled quietly at his own story.
"The truth is she was thinking that all up on the spot and making it a reality right after. I didn't see it but my colleague said that the Pope was depriving all the priests who was in cohort with the old Pope before Diana. So my guess was that she has been doing cleaned up the past month whenever someone had a funny idea."
"I get it. She didn't see them as obstacles at all. Is she a tactician or something?" The vice-captain nodded his head and inquired Zodd.
"I am not sure but I was briefed on her profile once when I was in the capital and I may say she is a fearsome opponent. You can't underestimate a follower who stayed with the hero till the end and even jumped after her to another world."
Zodd shared his thought with his team, but he left out the more sensitive information such as she has properly had a way to monitor all the neighbor kingdom, or an apocalypse shelter is being built under every city by her workforce alone, one at a time of course.
"I wonder what their world was like." Tina spoke out while in her own imagination of the hero world, a world with huge monster and fearsome enemies.
"You are in luck then. Last time in the capital I heard the other captains talking about the King asking the Pope to show us the hero's life as a promotion campaign to increase her popularity. Soon there will be a show about her life on those screens just like yesterday tournament."
Captain Zodd said with a smile on his face. He was, just like everyone else in the kingdom, curious about the life of a hero.
"Oh, shit!"
Mike suddenly shouted out. And received another hit on the head by Lara.
"Shut up Mike! What is it?"
"T-The stew..."
Hearing that everyone became panic and gathered to save their dinner. Luckily nothing got burn.
After having their meal they were going to take turn on watch and rest.
But before they were able to go to their tents the transmission orb of Lara glowed up palely and vibrated a bit.
Everyone halted their step and gather around Lara. The air became tense and heavy with seriousness, gone was the happy atmosphere just a while ago.
The red hair mage took the orb out and put some mana to it.
The sound of distress and explosion resounding in the background. The mage that was calling them was in a battlefield, the signal came from the east of their location. That was fortress Garendo watching over the monster infested forest to the north of the kingdom.
"… *ha* *ha*… T-This is from Garendo, we are under attacked from the demons but still holding out. Team Zodd quickly get to the capital to request reinforcement, the big transmission orb here is being blocked. Be careful, the demons somehow can track the transmission so be haste, they are coming to your way… *crack**ptss*…"
The last sound was from the forceful disconnection on the other side and the crack on their orb. The other orb was properly shattered to pieces and the connection was cut off with a surge of mana making their orb useless now.
Without thinking too much, they all grabbed their bag and begin running to the capital. They couldn't risk making too much noise or they would be dead.
Despite all their carefulness, the demons still dispersed everywhere to search for escapees, so team Zodd also encounter some demons on their way to the capital.
The night had quickly turned into a carnage.

### Summoning Tower ###
.
The tall tower didn't change much over the month.
The stone surface was smooth but still retained the stone-like texture.
Big gate, several windows and the roof was fixed.
Guards and soldiers were patrolling and doing exercise, mages were doing their own magic stuffs.
Overall, it still looked the same… from the outside.
After walking through the big door of the tower will be a cube-shape chamber that sterilize germ on body through laser scanner.
The chamber was made of grey steel, smooth and cool with a science research laboratory looked.
Pass that was The Lab as known by everyone.
Over the month, the main researcher and the only one in this lab, Hikari had make a total overhaul of the place.
New light system and water source with the assist of magic. The floor was smooth and reflective white marble seamlessly put together, even the pillars were replaced by marble-coating adamantine poles. Everything was made to feel like a lab base on someone taste.
Of course every materials used were synthesized by the synthesizer and converted by the Nano machines.
She had made three fairy type android assistants, a triplet with different color theme.
No.01, alias Omega, is the overseer of the lab with increased processing capability. She has waist-long white hair, big round green eyes and likes to wear white camisole dress.
No. 02, alias Airi, is A2 support unit or assistant. She has red hair, green eye and likes to wear red.
The final one is No. 03, alias Alisa, was supposed to be Hikari assistant but currently helping Omega manage the lab and the secret lab below. She has golden hair, big round green eyes like her sisters and prefers yellow camisole dress.
They all had a childish personality, which was fine because they were kids by their age. And because they were kid they liked getting attention and willingly helping out if you asked them nice enough.
There had been a few additions to the lab near the left wall. One such thing was four Nerve Chairs (imagine the one in Crysis 2), a device to link the androids to the server of the tower. One only need to sat down on the chair and the option to access the server would be available for them.
Currently, there was only one occupant, A2.
She was using the combat simulation on the server. That was a program made to resemble the xenoverse 2. With a lot of fighters from Dragon Balls with their strength based on the manga and anime version, the battle grounds was all from Xenoverse 2.
A2's training in the simulation began shortly after she learn how to control her strength.
Day by day, she diligently battled the fighters such as 17, 18, Krillin, Cell and even Buu occasionally.
She had been in the simulation since returning from the tournament. In this one week she had become more proficient in controlling her power. Because she was an android, she was easily able to apply the percentage system to manage her power output. Her defense couldn't be lower but that was good in itself.
"Sis, why is A2 taking so long?" Airi jumping around asking Omega.
"Don't worry Airi. She said she want to release some stress for a while."
She patted Airi on the head and turn back to the computer to typing something on it, she had made a small hologram keyboard for her use in the lab.
"Hey you two! Why don't we take a peek at her training?" The yellow-wearing fairy Alisa asked excitedly at her two sisters.
The three of them were gathered around in the lab with nothing to do.
"Yeah, sis! Let's do that!" Airi joined in her sister excitement.
Omega stopped her work and looked thoughtfully at A2 direction before answered her sisters.
"Alright. I will project it on the big screen on the wall. Let's cheer her on!"
She was tempted into curiosity by her sisters.
The biggest screen in the room switched from the default current status of every machines in the lab to showed the back of A2, who was hovering in the air above the wasteland with numerous rock mountains around.
When Hikari programed the simulation she made the spectator mode had the option to follow the user liked in the game, just for fun, and the androids loved it very much.
Hovering before A2 was Broly in his Legendary Super Saiyan transformation. He was a giant mass of muscle, buffed up to the limit combined with his height of above two meters, rage-filled expression, green-tint golden spiky hair and a greenish golden fire-like aura made a very scary sight for the weak will people.
Broly had bruises all over his body but no serious injuries, the snarl on the saiyan face showed that he had already in a berserk beast-like state.
A2 wasn't much better. Her body made sure that she would heal almost instantly, even her clothes got repaid back to top notch condition by the nanites, but if one looked careful enough, A2 was covered in soothe and had been exerting herself a lot.
That was not to mention the environment around them. Many variety of fissures all over the place, some places even had lava leaking out of the ground. The earth crust where they fought might not hold on for long.
["Kakarot, KAKAROT ! ! ! Argh ! ! !..."]
Suddenly Broly's aura exploded outward and zoomed in on A2 with his right fist aiming for her head.
The fist glowed green with ki was deflected by A2's left hand but he immediately followed up by a series of punches and kicks, A2 also started to put more and more strength into her attacks to counter the mad exchange between her and Broly. The attacks were too fast for normal eyes to see, reaching up to several Mach speed created shock waves and sonic booms.
["I am not Kakarot."]
["kill… kill… I WILL KILL YOU ! ! !"]
A2 still kept up with him but the back and forth of their attacks had destroy all the high protrusions on the ground and a good portion of it.
Mountains crumbled, ground dug up and turned over, lava covered everywhere, the sky cracked up with lightning and distorted with energy the wind force pushed all the clouds away. It looked like the end of the world was happening.
"Wow! She is fighting Broly already. He looked so scary up-close."
Omega commented after seeing A2's opponent.
"W-W-WHAT IS THAT ! ? !"
Hearing a surprised shout, the triplet turn back to find out who that was.
Standing there at the door out of the decontamination chamber was a girl with a thin figure with a height of about 1,65 m, small cute face embraced by her blonde hair which was gathered up into a side ponytail, her eyes were ocean blue and has a round shape.
Her small body was wrapped up in a grey robe, the normal standard one for apprentice mage.
She was Lucy Calisto, the Archmage's disciple.
Next to her was a man with big frame and tan skin, nearly 2 meters, a tough looking square face and a bush of black hair on his head.
He was the champion of Locarina, the only one who took an attack from the hero. He was wearing the normal leather armor similar to the one he worn during the tournament.
His face currently had the same look of shock as Lucy because of what they were seeing on the screen.
"Oh hey, Lucy! You are late! And who is that?"
Alisa poutingly admonished her while gave the man a questioning look.
Lucy had been moved here to join the mage in their magic research but she somehow became a lab assistant under Omega and Alisa.
"A-Ah… I apologize for my lateness. This guy here was using his status as the champion of Locarina and special guess of his Majesty to try to get here so I was assigned to guide him by the Prime Minister."
Shaken out of her shock, she quickly gave a bow and explain thing but her eyes still glued on the fight.
"I am Gordon but introduction can be done later, what important is that! What in heaven is that ? ! ?"
"What? Are you a brute? Well fine, I have your profile anyway." Alisa scowled at him but let it go quickly.
"And that is a fight you are witnessing. What else did you think it is?" Airi added her own piece to the brute a bit irritated.
"That is a fight? … You got to be kidding me."
"Now, now, let's leave it at that. The fight has begun to pick up a notch." Omega dismissed their antic and focused back on the screen.
.
.
The exchange of punches and kicks had become more vicious with ki blasts in the mix.
A2 received a few punches in the stomach but also landed a few kicks to his chest and face. Stray ki blasts from the two had fractured the earth beyond repair.
["KAKAROT ! ! !"]
Broly super charged a green ki ball in his right hand, grabbed it with said hand and threw it hard at A2. That was a frequently used move of Broly, the Gigantic Omega, based on how much he charged it could rupture the earth crust and destroy a planet.
["I already said - "]
A2 charged a ki blast of her own and fired it at the green ball of death that Broly just threw at her. Her ki blast deflected the green ball into space making it exploded near a moon and taking a big chunk out of it. She charged in on Broly with a clenched fist infused with ki.
["- I am NOT KAKAROT!"]
Her right fist connected to his face launching him high up into space with break neck speed. That was a technique call Super God Fist she had just learnt recently. It infused her fist with highly dense ki making the impact multiple times more devastating.
She signed after taking a look around, it was like a picture of hell. Lava pools of various sizes and shapes, pillar of molten rock and earth erupted everywhere, the sky had been gradually fill up with black smoke and dust. The earth crust here had finally done for.
Looking up A2 quickly located Broly and dash toward him with a speed of about Mach 2. It looked like he has a concussion and black out for the moment but still in his Legendary Super Saiyan form, what a tenacious man.
.
"Miss Fairies, can I ask some questions?"
Omega looked back at the big man named Gordon, a bit surprised because of the polite manner.
"Ok? Ask away."
"Who is that man? Why is he fighting the hero? And where is that place? It looks kind of… familiar?"
"That is a lot of questions but alright.
That is Broly, a legendary mad warrior. Just be glad that he isn't in this world or else demon will be the least of your worries."
Gordon nodded his head in agreement. Seeing the destruction and madness of the warrior scared him a bit but he would never admit it.
"A2 is currently training in a simulated reality, Broly is her opponent and that place is a replica of your planet."
Looking aroud he saw that the hero was lying on a weird chair with closed eyes.
"… uhm… what is a planet"
"… well… a planet is an astronomical body orbiting a star or stellar remnant that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity, is not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion, and has-"
"OK! Please stop! I don't understand anything you said at all!"
Gordon felt like he was not ready for this scholar stuff. Just hearing a few sentences and he had already lost. The sword was the right choice for him it seem.
Omega had an unamused look at being interrupted. Luckily, seeing her liked that, Lucy quickly picked up and answer Gordon question in a simpler way.
"L-Let me explain it to him, I have already seen our planet when helping Alisa to launch the satellite."
"Hum… you can deal with him." With a pouting on her face, Omega turned back to her sisters.
"Mister Gordon, the planet is this world we stand on, if we fly high enough we can see the ground is actually a small part of a big sphere that was covered by land and sea."
"Eh? You mean that big ball of earth and water on the screen is our world?"
"Yeah, and the place that they has been fighting at a while ago is the border of your kingdom and this kingdom."
Omega said while looked back at him.
"Now be quiet and let us watch the battle. Broly has woken up and gotten even madder than before."
Just as she said, everyone saw that the mad man had recovered himself and become the incarnation of wrath.
.
Broly had powered up higher and higher than before. If this continued, he might as well go Legendary Super Saiyan 2.
But luckily he didn't reach another transformation, the power still enormous though.
["… who… are you… I don't know you… I will kill you… I WILL KILL YOU! DIE ! ! !"]
He launched himself at A2 again but this time much faster and stronger. She only had time to rise her hand up to defend herself against the fist of the giant saiyan.
The impact was very heavy that he pushed her back into the atmosphere and continued on attacking like a mad bull.
He sure is screaming a lots. How did he talk in space though?
A2 was overwhelmed by the vigor of all the punches, kicks and ki blasts so she could only block and deflect attacks that aim at her important parts like her cores or the maintenance facility.
The both of them became a flaming ball, ignited by the friction of the atmosphere and their speed.
They was coming down to above the capital of Orariens, but a few exchange of their attacks had already put a few parts of the city to ruin.
Finally having a small opening after she shot small beams at his face through her eyes, A2 quickly released a burst of powerful ki made it exploded around her and blew Broly far away.
Never let a moment get wasted, A2 shot straight at Broly's abdomen with another Super God Fist. He coughed blood and was flung back in a blur but not too far this time.
Broly's hands began to glow green and balls of condensed energy appeared in his grasp.
["If only you let yourself be defeated, you wouldn't have to suffer. DIE!"]
["You don't have a large vocabulary, do you?"]
He threw numerous Blaster Shell at her in fast motion while screaming nonstop.
Not having any intention of taking the condensed ki ball head-on, A2 fired her own ki blast that she had been overcharged with 10% of her total reserve for a while in a rapid torrent of hundreds of small bright golden ki ball.
The collision of their attack made big explosions all over the sky over the city, a few stray shots from them wiped clean the earth of anything resemble a city.
With the amount of ki balls of her attack far exceeded his, Broly received the full brunt of the blasts by his body but still held out.
["What! Impossible! I am the legendary super saiyan, I WON'T LOSE!"]
Without a second thought, A2 used Vanishing Step to close in on him and gave a planet-shattering uppercut to his lower jaw, launching him back again in space and collided with the remnant of the moon.
A2 quickly followed up on him to deliver a finishing blow but when she got near the moon, she was slammed in the gut by Broly's fist. He had track of blood all over his body and his face had been distorted by extreme rage and madness.
The force of the fist sent her flying far back to the ground but she had taken control of the flight and stopped before colliding with it.
From the ground looking up, A2 saw green light covering the sky even though the sun was still out.
It was getting brighter and brighter. A2's instinct kicked in and told her to get away as fast as she could. Follow her instinct she quickly fly out of the atmosphere and looked back just in time to see a big green ball of light fast forward to the planet.
The ball of light collided with the ground and crack of light appear all over the planet. The ki blast punctured through the earth crust and exploded, everything flew up like a meteor collision. Lava and light leaking out of the ground, the earth bubbling up and finally everything was consumed by the explosion of the ki blast.
The planet quickly went supernova, which combined with the blast from Broly's attack nearly went up to become a hypernova blasting everything in the surrounding to space dust.
A2 quickly flooded her body with condensed ki to reinforce her body to the max.
The supernova swallowed both her and Broly but A2 still felt his present going strong.
She needed to end this quickly, her own objective to preserve the planet had failed. She was still not good enough.
Floating up above the new bright star, she saw Broly also had his body extremely reinforced with ki and was charging up another ki blast aiming at her.
She charged up a Big Bang Kamehameha with half of her ki reserve. Letting out all her frustration into this last attack she smiled a bit at her opponent. A bit wrathful maybe but he was an honest and simple guy, good for punching too.
["See you later big guy."]
["DIE ! ! !"]
["…"]
They both unleashed their attacks at each other. The two ki blasts struggled to push one another back and Broly seemed to lose. With a beastly roar, he powered up more and pushed back the attack.
A2 was pushed back began to push more power into the attack but it was not enough.
Thing would go bad if it continued like this. She decided to use the Kaioken, even though she hadn't mastered it yet but there was no other way.
["Hah!"]
A red aura wrapped around her body, power rushed through her system but she also felt a small drain on her stamina. Her ki blast was also shrouded in red outline making it strength doubled and pushed the mix energy ball toward Broly.
Even with all that he still held on. You really couldn't underestimate a saiyan. Deemed it necessary to go a notch further, A2 decided to take it up to KaiokenX4.
The red aura become more intense and so is her powered. The drain on stamina became significantly heavier, it began to take its toll on her. The KaiokenX4 multiplied her power by four making her ki blast overpowered his.
["I won't die! I WILL KILL YOU SOMEDAY!"]
Broly, losing the power struggle, was engulfed by her ki blast and disintegrated.
Finally, the battle was over but the planet was gone. Her strength was higher than his but it was still a hard fight. She needed more training.
With a final melancholy looked at the aftermath of the 'battle ground' she logged out of the simulation and backed to her body.
.
Outside the simulation, mages and guards in the lab had gathered around to watch what was on the screen. The people in the lab had gotten used to technology and no longer confused by the thing they saw.
Seeing the fight between the hero and a monster of a man, they all felt awestruck and insignificant. What can they do in the in the present of such giants? But then again they were fighting with the demons, and knowing that there were beings outclassed them and the demons so much such as the hero and that mad man reassured them somehow.
Everyone's acceptance thought aside, the sister trio were dancing around and cheering noisily, Omega was more calming than her sisters so she wasn't dancing but still clapping nonstop.
Gordon and Lucy were speechless when they saw the planet exploded. They didn't know how to react anymore.
For Gordon, he had never grasp how big the world was but after seeing the hero zoomed in and out of the planet with that man he finally accepted the fact that he was living on a ball of earth and water. And what's more? The continent he knew all his life that consisted all the kingdoms was only a patch of land on a vast ocean, he even saw other continents that no one knew ever existed. No, it couldn't be help. No one dare to venture out in the far ocean, there were big bad monsters that would capsize the ship and eat all the passengers. That was seriously not a joke, the monsters were big, city-size even, and they were sometime spotted by fisherman or civilians near the coast.
But what did that even amount to? Nothing! Absolutely nothing!
The whole world felt so fragile now that he know of the kind of power the hero possessed.
Tales about great feats of the gods now didn't look so grand anymore, or more like the hero was godlier than them?
Anyway, the fight was great but he couldn't see anything at all when they were trading blows, only blur body parts and destruction could be seen.
Could he train to be that strong? No, of course not. But knowing a level of power above all else he ever known made him excited. He wanted to stay here to see the hero and learn more.
I don't want to go home, the hero has kind of become my life goal. I will write a letter and send it back to get permission to stay.
While Gordon was fan-boying and overthinking himself out, Lucy had recovered from the shock of seeing the planet exploded and asked the sisters about the fighters' power.
"Please, can I ask? How real was what we saw?"
Of course she had doubt, she just witnessed a man destroy her world even if that was only a simulation.
Everyone in the vicinity heard what she asked and tried to listen on their conversation, even Gordon in his fantasy had snapped out and listened.
"Hm? What do you mean? This is a simulation, you could see A2 lying over there."
Airi the red hair fairy replied her with a confused look and pointed at the Nerve Chair that A2 currently lied at.
"No, Airi. She means the realistic of the simulation." Omega corrected her sister and continued "For your information, the program uses the data collected from real life so everything that happens in the simulation can happen in real life too."
"W-Wha… t-then that man really existed? Who was that Broly guy?"
Lucy was surprised that the man was not a made up existence. Unlike the people around, she had been helping the sisters a lot in the lab so she knew a bit about the computer and that it could create lots of stuffs.
"Eh? We don't know much about that, Hikari didn't upload her memory to us and the simulation only has a bit of information about him."
Alisa answer Lucy's question a bit dejected, shaking her golden hair a bit.
"… Uhm… Let's see… Broly is a saiyan the same race as Hikari and appears to be the latest of the Legendary Super Saiyans who appear every thousand years. He has a real problem in controlling his rage so his father used a device to mind control him. When he broke free of the control device, his thirst for combat and desire for death and destruction of thing become unyielding. He is not from this world so don't worry."
Omega tried to explain Broly background from the little information she had.
The reaction vary from person to person, most of them were surprised by the fact that the Pope Hikari was the same race as that man. They always thought that she was a monkey beast-kin.
As they finished their small talk, A2 opened her eyes and stepped out of the Nerve Chair.
Seeing the group gathered in the middle, she moved toward them for greeting.
"Hey, I'm done with my training."
"Welcome back." Omega.
"Ah! A2, that was awesome!" Airi.
"Yeah, right! Broly is super scary but you beat him and with a big boom at the end too!" Alisa.
The trio quickly flew around her and chipping nonstop.
"Stop it! That's annoying!"
A2 looked at the big man standing next to Lucy. Lucy she already know in the past month but the man, he looked kind of familiar but she couldn't remember.
Before she could ask, the man had opened his mouth to greet her.
"Greeting, hero. I hope it's not too bothersome but can I stay here to train? I want to learn from your training to get stronger myself."
That will be quite a bother.
A2 scowled at the unknown man. How would she answer? The tower was big but and there were not many personnel left after she had her body back. Well, better leave to the experts.
"What do you three think? Do we need to ask Hikari?"
The three sisters stopped flying around, rubbed their chins with their left hand and used the right hand as support while making a serious face which was completely nonexistent with their cute small face and big eyes.
"There are still a lot of rooms upstairs and he will be no difference than the personnel here anyway. Hikari won't disagree with you anyway so we don't need to ask her."
Omega said after carefully thinking about it, the other two nodded while making 'Uhm uhm' sound. They properly didn't think anything at all and leave this kind of stuff to Omega, such lazy girls.
While feeling a bit irritated at their drama, A2 turned to the big guy.
"Well? You heard her. Just ask around and choose a room."
"Thank you, I am very grateful for this."
With this done, even if his kingdom didn't allow him to stay here he wouldn't listen.
Then A2 suddenly remembered something and asked the girl again.
"Where is Hikari? She is supposed to be here all day, right?"
"Hikari? Yeah, I forgot to tell you!" Omega looked at the time on the computer.
"Right now was 1 p.m., about 3 hours prior or 10 a.m., a few of our satellites were destroyed by an unknown forced. Hikari has been investigated up there since then. Her last message was:
'The things up here can only be done by me, you take care of all the things down there. See you soon!'
That was two hours ago."
A2 didn't register what was said for a moment and thought back to her world and the war with the alien.
She quickly shook her head to clear all that thought.
This is a different world, if anything, Hikari and I were the aliens here.
She smiled a bit at that irony and thought about the thing that only Hikari could solve.
If the problem required Hikari's strength then that was not something anyone can do.
She could have been fighting the local gods or something…
…
… That's… somehow doesn't sound funny at all.
"I am going outside to practice with my sword, call me if there is anything."
After saying that she grabbed her sword, the Type-40 Blade on the wall and went outside.
There was no use in thinking about problems outside of your control. Everyone seemed to think the same as her so they returned to what they were doing before.
"Ow, she is training again, did the saiyan cells affect her?"
"Leave her be, Airi. Why don't you help us make a gun for her, I am sure she will be delighted to receive this."
"Aye! Let's make a gun!"
"Lucy, you join in too! It will be fun!"
"A-Ah, Y-Yes, I'm coming!"
The girls quickly gathered themselves up in a corner of the lab and planned things out.
"Eh… what about me…?
…
… I guess I will go practicing sword swing with the hero then."
Feeling a bit dejected for being left out Gordon quietly went outside to the training ground and joined with the soldiers to watch the hero's swordplay. Which shocked him again with the way she handling the great sword like a short sword.
That inspired him greatly but first he needed to increase his strength, a lot.
What a day! Can I be her follower too?

END OF CHAPTER 7
.
Broly isn't stronger than Kid Buu
but sure is stronger than a normal Buu.
Don't forget the fact that he's getting stronger the more rage he feels
and he has a lot of rage, he is the Legendary Super Saiyan after all.
If he wasn't dead, he would be one hell of a monster along with the others.

Thank for reading.
