I know, I know I'm late, sorry as usual personal issues keep getting in the way, but good news. I got a new job one that demands less time and more pay so I should be able to write as regularly as I used to. I will as usual try my best at writing these chapters per week, I doubt any of you believe me as I've made these promises before, but I really will try, I know have the time.

Ok on with the chapter.

Discovered Truth

In the far reaches of space, on the planet that Paragas had ruled his empire from. Home of some of the fiercest fighters that had served under the Cold empire and had became soldiers under the Saiyan's service, are now decimated.

A golden boot stomped on a man's head, he looked to be nothing more than one of Paragas's common foot soldiers. But he was actually second in command of the Saiyan's empire, and now his son Broly is looking down at the supposed warrior, though he expected him not to put up much of a fight he was still disappointed. Broly scoffed as he looked around, the entire area was surrounded by corpses. 1 hour prior to now there were only 6 now at least 20. "This is the best father's army had to offer, how pathetic." Indeed, for the supposed general instantly died when he threw the first punch to his gut, he was actually holding back to test how strong his opponent was even as he was still weakened. Even without his power the soldiers are nothing it seems. "Hmph" The behemoth then began walking towards one of the space pods that the soldiers used to arrive.

Broly was thankful that his father taught him how to set destinations on these rockets otherwise he'd be forced to wait out the remaining two days in sheer boredom. And the legendary super Saiyan hates to wait, so what better way to kill time than to destroy the empire his father spent so much time creating? Then when all is done, he will go to earth and destroy the fighters who had bested Paragas. What better way to thank them for killing his father than to grant them a battle from the strongest in the universe?

He hopes they will provide a challenge.

Earth

Back on the lookout, Dende walks out of the palace to see 17 and 18 close to the palace's edge. "It's time Trunks and Tarble have exited the chamber."

The androids turned to the namek and both sighed knowing the long wait was over.

17 smirked. "About time I was really getting bored waiting." He looked to 18. "You hear that 18 you finally get to see your boyfriend."

18 gave 17 the usual glare. "Shut up." She replied. Despite her bitterness towards 17 she was glad that Trunks had gotten out of the chamber, she got to see him after a year only to have him leave for a day while fighting Paragas. Perhaps after their trip to Namek she, 17, the half-saiyan, and the saiyan Tarble can truly start on better terms.

Tarble was the first to step out, he looked no different than usual other than the nurmorous cracks on his armor, a large hole on his jumpsuit underneath, along with a few unhealed scrapes.

17 commented. " A year passed in there and you look the same as ever."

Tarble looked to the android with a stoic expression and shrugged. "As do you."

"True"

Then Trunks walked out, his armor was also cracked all over and the jumpsuit was a bit torn as well. He looked more mature then he did before he entered the time chamber, his hair was longer and in a ponytail.

Android 18 looked at Trunks up and down, though her expression was blank she did like the new change in him. "Good to see you." She then looked to Tarble. "Both of you."

Trunks nodded as 18 tried to be friendly. "Thanks" He said as he looked around along with Tarble. "I can't sense Paragas's energy anymore, is it over now?"

17 nodded. "Yup we took care of him yesterday, didn't take long either." He said bragging.

18 decided to one up her brother. "Would have done it sooner if someone hadn't decided to toy with him."

"Hey"

18 ignored her complaining brother. "Anyway it's not over yet, Paragas's soldiers were still able to kill a lot of people before you got rid of them, Bulma said that we have to get to Planet Namek to revive the people back to life since ours dragonballs already revived them once."

Trunks sighed with regret that he couldn't save them again. "Well I'm glad that it's over now we just have to repair everything they've done." He looked to his Uncle. "So what now, are you going to leave already?"

Tarble nodded. "Yes"

17 raised an eyebrow. "Wait what's going on here?'

Trunks looked to 17. "Tarble decided that if you already beaten Paragas he's going to go make sure there isn't anything left of Paragas's empire."

"Wait what but I wanted a rematch you can't just-"

The full blooded Saiyan interrupted. "Oh stop your whining, I'll be coming back anyway, I decided to stay here on earth so I'll be back to beat you again if that's what you want." He said with a smile.

17 growled while 18 snickered a little.

Tarble looked to Trunks. "Tell your mother I'll be back soon, this has been...interesting."

Trunks chuckled. "You can say that again."

His uncle started floating and looked to Dende. "Thank you for letting us use your time chamber, and it's been a pleasure."

Dende nodded. "I was only helping as best I could, hope to see you again soon."

Tarble flew off in the direction of his space ship, leaving his new friends and family.

Trunks looked to the Androids. "So...I guess were off to Namek then."

The two nodded silently knowing how awkward this is, it has been awhile since the three of them have been alone.

17 was the first to speak. "We should get this over with, the sooner this is done the better."

Trunks nodded at the androids and levitated, the half Saiyan turned to Dende. "We're going, see you later Dende."

The namek nodded. "Give everyone my regards."

He nodded and the trio flew off to capsule Corp.

Bulma had fixed all the wires on 16 and smiled. "There all done, and look I even manage to add 15's power core into your system, now you have the power of all three Androids and your own." She said proud of her accomplishment.

16 closed his eyes self analyzing and smiled. The total power he had had was now comparable to 17 and 18, he looked to the scientist. "As usual your expertise exceeds my expectations, I appreciate your work."

She smiled enjoying the praise from the stoic Android. "Think nothing of it, now all we have to do is wait for-" She heard the front door open. "Well there here, alright come on big guy."

The two walked out of the lab and see Trunks with the cyborgs. "Good your back and" she paused looking at her son. "And now your older, I guess you really did spend a year in the time chamber." She said observing the young man's features.

Trunks nodded his head. "Yeah but mom listen, we need to get to planet Namek, were going to use their dragonballs to revive everyone who died during the invasion"

Bulma nodded. "We'll alright, come on I'll show you how to use the controls." She paused as she looked left and right as if she's missing something. "Hey wait where's Tarble?"

Trunks then remembered. "Right, he left, he decided that he was going to make sure that whatever Paragas left behind won't be doing any more harm." He stated and smiled. "But he did say he was coming back, I uh kind of told him that he was free to stay with us, sorry."

Bulma smiled and shook her head. "We're family aren't we, I say let him stay with us, anyway come on I need to show you how the controls work.

Bulma had explained the controls to Trunks, after knowing for sure she got the hang of it she decided to ask him an important question. "Are you sure this is alright with you, I mean, if you don't want to go with them it's fine."

Trunks looked in the corner of his eye to see 16, 17, and, 18 in the ship. "It's fine mom, I'll manage."

Bulma looked at her son, she of course trusted 17 and 18 but knew that her son's views on the androids are more wary than hers were. She wanted to make sure that her son was ok with traveling with them for 6 days. "Are you sure?"

Trunks smiled and nodded. "It'll be ok mom, I promise." He spoke with no hesitation. "Besides, I decided a long time ago that I needed to let go of something that wasn't their fault, I've needed to anyway for a long time."

Bulma could hardly recognized her son, he was always polite and mature but now he was more grown up. Guess that's what happens in a year. "We'll alright Trunks, now get going, and you be safe." Her son nodded and walked towards the ship, a few seconds later the door closed and the ship flew off with Trunks and the androids. She knew her son wouldn't hurt the androids, he had to know by now that they were innocent, but she hoped that he was truly alright with traveling with them. "Be alright Trunks." She said with her hand close to her heart

Hera system

As his pod few Tarble reflected on what happened during his trip to earth. The whole point of arriving was to defend the planet from Paragas's warriors and to destroy the androids if they were still active.

Who would have thought things would turn out the way they did. He remembered aiming his attack at one of the androids responsible for killing his brother, although 18 wasn't the one who killed Vegeta he still despised her for what she'd done to the planet. Then out of nowhere, a young man dressed in saiyan armor comes to see him. He was still surprised that Vegeta even had a child, his brother was always cold hearted towards other races.

And then Trunks actually shielded the android, this was extremely eye opening for him. To defend someone who had killed their father with smiling faces. Then came the explanation, the reason why the androids weren't so hostile. Tarble still felt indifferent towards them since Vegeta did die by 17's hands. However there was a time where Vegeta relished in killing, even if it was under Frieza's orders, he still found enjoyment in it. And he wasn't being mind controlled like 17 and 18 were.

A sigh escaped his lips. "I wonder what you'd say about all of this Vegeta."

All the same he was glad he met the boy, Trunks was different from his father yet quite alike. The boy was determined to get stronger and gets over confident when winning a battle which he took notice in the time chamber. Yet his desire to get stronger did not come from desire to be the strongest but for the sake of the earth, also he's very humble and polite, which he must have gotten from his mother. He formed a bond with Trunks, proud to be his uncle. That year they spent in the chamber reminded him of his younger days when his older brother Vegeta would help him learn the basics of fighting in secret. Only this time he was helping Trunks with his low self esteem, he knew how it felt to be left behind while others around him grew stronger and was glad to train him and with him.

Of course he still had no idea how to feel about the androids, perhaps he should try to get along with them once he returns to earth.

Tarble was pulled from his musings when he reached his destination, his space pod had landed in Paragas's main planet. Right away when the saiyan's space pod was in the earth's atmosphere he already felt that something was off. There isn't a trace of energy on this planet, none whatsoever. He thought perhaps the soldiers are suppressing their power, however even Paragas didn't learn how to so why would his underlings. Regardless he decided to investigate this odd situation.

Tarble got out of his space pod and flew upward over the crater his pod had created. He scanned the area around him, everywhere he looked craters, dead bodies, destroyed buildings and fires. "What could have done this?" The saiyan flew over the area wanting to find out if this was a good or bad thing. "Whoever it was had to be strong." After all Paragas's soldiers were some of the strongest the galaxy had to offer, but someone out of nowhere was able to do all of this. "Hmm"

"Nothing here." Tarble stated as he landed on the ground, he looked to his right to see a scouter from one of the corpses. He grabs the scouter from the dead soldier's head and puts it on his ear, he then clicked the button to see if he could hear anyone. "Hello, can anyone hear me?" He heard nothing but static from the channel his scouter was locked on, he switched it most of them were nothing but static and then he came across one where he heard a voice.

"Can anyone read me, this signal is from planet Paragas 574, requesting back up from all available troops throughout the Hera system, repeat requesting back up planet Paragas 574!"

Tarble took the scouter off. "I suppose Paragas isn't that much different from Frieza." He said taking note that he named his planets after him. "Who's doing this, someone who wants revenge?" He asked aloud understanding the need for vengeance. Tarble looked to the space pod and flew to it. "Whatever this is, I'm not sure I like it."

(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-

A day had already passed since Trunks and the androids left earth. The half saiyan hadn't said a single word to either 17 and 18 since the trip started, only ocasionally speaking 16 when they were alone. Although he decided that it was time to let go, his instincts still told him to keep his distance. So far he spent his time awake training or eating in his room away from the twins. He still found it hard to even start a decent conversation with either of them, even though he had a year to begin anew with them, two counting the time chamber.

17 and 18 more or less did the same, they stayed out of his away aware of his desire to be left alone. 16 would silently sit the whole time, when he wasn't sparring with 17 or 18 whenever Trunks wasn't in the gravity chamber that is.

17 decided to talk. "You know, you can try to talk to him."

18 looked away from the window and to 17. "What are you talking to him."

He shrugged. "Trunks, who else?" He asked sarcastically, 18 made a glare. "I know, I know, you want to give him his space, but were not doing him any favors by pretending his not here or the other way around."

18 sighed and looked out the window watching the stars pass. "Even if I wanted to, what would we talk about?" She asked with a blank stare. "It's already awkward that were riding this thing with him, maybe we should have stayed on earth."

"Yeah, we'll he's not gonna stop ignoring us if we keep ignoring him you know?"

18 glared over to her brother. "If you care so much why don't you go talk to him?"

He shrugged. "I don't really care what he thinks of us, hell, if he still hates us that's fine with me." He sees the glare on her getting harder. "But I know it bothers you."

18 sighed again and looked back out the window hiding her saddened face from her brother.

Although 17 didn't show it, he was worried for his sister. Even though he liked to joke about the idea of 18 and Trunks being a couple, he knew it bothered her much more than it bothered him. In truth he didn't like the idea of being hated for something Dr Gero forced him and her into doing but it never bothered him too much. After all, what's done is done, as long as 18 was around he was happy. He looked over to the silent Android 16.

"Hey 16, how many more days till we get to New Namek?"

16 looked over to 17 with his stoic stare. "5 days from now until we reach our destination."

17 sighed, if this keeps up this will be the longest week he's experienced.

(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-

Tarble had reached planet Paragas 574 and this time he did feel energy, only that there was only one signature. 'What is this?' He could sense an energy he's never felt before, not only was this power strong but it was familiar, it felt like the power the soldiers gave off, only it was more complete. 'This energy, it's just like a saiyan.' This energy felt different than the soldiers, it was the what made their energies similar to one another, who could this saiyan be? 'Whoever he is, he's no ally of Paragas.' He thought as he felt smaller energies disappearing around this individual and remembered the previous planets he visited not too long ago.

The Saiyan decided it was best to change course. "Computer change destination, head towards the planet with the highest power level." He stated.

"Destination change." The computer voice replied as it headed down towards the planet.

Tarble felt worried, whoever this saiyan is, he hopes he will be another ally.

Broly smiled at the destruction around him, it was good to let loose. The corpses that littered the streets, the broken down crumbling buildings. It was all so breath taking to him, the scene was his art, the power he had now was enough for him to enjoy a planet's destruction rather than just blowing up city after city like he did in his younger days. Looks like Paragas did do something useful for him, and now that he's gone he'll be able to rampage throughout the universe once he gains his power back. Perhaps he should take it slower, this new approach seemed more enjoyable to him. But first he will fight those warriors from earth, after all they may be the only ones in the universe capable of challenging him, and that made his blood boil.

"Hopefully they will be more amusing than these peons who call themselves warriors."

Another day, just one more day and finally his power will return. The universe will be his playground once again, if it wasn't already that is. Now he can willingly transform into his super saiyan state at any time, and he actually uses his base form making his massacres last longer. Before Paragas had taught Broly his self control he was no different then a wild animal attacking everything in sight destroying army after army unlike now where he can truly appreciate the destruction he causes. He wonders if he can control his legendary super saiyan form unlike in the past where he automatically transformed into it without willing to, it was as if the form had a mind of it's own. Hopefully he could, after all, this was much funner than it used to be. And if not, oh well, as long as he can have his fun.

As Broly looked to the sky he sees a figure coming close. "Hmm?" He destroyed every soldier on the planet, how could there be another left alive? Oh well just another to kill once he get's closer. However as the figure got closer he looked different, his hair was familiar. Like King Vegeta's only black with a strand in front of his forehead. He glared as he sees more of the figures features.

"Vegeta?"

The other saiyan came into view, and stopped looking down at him from the air, giving him a strange look.

Tarble looked at the man, he's definitely a saiyan, he could tail just by looking at him. This warrior was over twice as tall as he was, and extremely muscular. "Who are you, do you know Paragas?"

Broly raised an eyebrow. "He's my.. was my father." He stated earning wide eyes from Tarble.

Tarble was surprised, Paragas did mention he had a son that his father king Vegeta used as a hostage but had no idea he was alive. "Paragas mentioned you, although I assumed my father killed you."

Broly glared even harder as his more sane mind put the pieces together. "Are you saying that your prince Vegeta?

The shorter warrior can see hate in his glare. "No I'm his younger brother Tarble."

"Tarble?" The taller warrior hadn't heard that name before, and did he call himself Vegeta's brother? "Brother eh, never heard of you."

Tarble looked away for a moment. "My strength wasn't up to my father's expectations." He stated sadly at his memories, he then heard Broly laugh.

"You mean you were weak." He stated with a smile. "I'm surprised he didn't kill you instead."

Tarble ignored that. "So" He looked around. "Is it safe to assume that you aren't very fond of your father?" He asked seeing the destruction of the planet.

Broly chuckled. "I only wish I was the one who destroyed him, only fair since he used my power as if it were his own." He said in an angry tone, glad that the elder saiyan was dead.

"Your power? What do you-" Tarble's stopped mid sentence as he connected the dots. The power he was giving off, the feeling it had was like the soldiers when they used their power gauntlets, and like Paragas's. "You, Paragas was using your power to aid himself and his subordinates." He realized. "I thought what he said about him being the legendary super saiyan was a lie, so you must be the true legend, right?"

"Hahaha, that old fool only wished he had the power I do, now then" The warrior stopped attacking and charged at Tarble.

Tarble was surprised but prepared, he swayed a punch from Broly and another. "What are you doing?" He asked surprised.

Broly only smiled. "Just fight back!" He yelled throwing more punches at full power at his base form.

Tarble blocked a punch with his forearm, cringing at the impact, he then threw a swift punch which Broly barely swayed as he threw his own, striking Tarble in the face making his head turn, cringing at it.

Broly looked surprised that the smaller saiyan took it and was still conscious. Tarble used this surprise to his advantage and jump kicked the saiyan in the face sending him upward, the brutish saiyan was sent upward but stopped his momentum with his head still looking looked at him with blood coming out of his lip, he licked it and smiled at him.

Tarble gagged slightly that he licked his own blood but kept his poise, he didn't want to fight if it could be avoided however from what he heard of the legendary super saiyan, he wouldn't have a choice in the matter.

Broly chuckled. "I'm glad you came, now I may be able to enjoy myself."

Tarble couldn't help but be curious. "What do you mean?"

"Come now, were both saiyan warriors, even whelps like yourselves can appreciate the idea of battle." Broly stated chuckling. "I'm sure you can provide me with some minor entertainment." He stated as a blue aura flared around him. The warrior cringed his teeth as his hair flared up, it then became gold, as did his hair. "Rah!" Thus the ssj transformation was completed,this was only the second time he transformed since he awoke from his hibernation chamber. And now to make things even more interesting. "Now, you, transform if you can."

Tarble was surprised to see a new super saiyan, however he kept calm and shook his head. "You and I aren't enemies." He stated. "It's clear that you weren't fond of your father so why fight?" The warrior tried persuading. "I'm not like other saiyans, I simply can't enjoy battle like most others, if your angry about your father than I'm sorry we had to-"

"HAHAHA! I don't care about Paragas, nor your cowardice." Broly said still laughing and immediately notices the confusion on Tarble's face. " That old fool was always in the way, always trying to keep me caged, destroy only when he deemed it necessary." He looked crazed for a moment at his reluctant opponent. " A true saiyan has no need for a reason to fight, he only needs to destroy everything as he pleases, now transform or die." He said, surely if this warrior knows of Paragas than he too would be capable of transforming.

"Tss" Tarble never liked that his kind were known for their barbaric nature, however he should have expected this, most saiyans are extremely blood thirsty, especially the legendary super saiyan that comes only every thousand years. The warrior started powering up, being wary of Broly in case he'd interrupt his transformation, of course he wouldn't he wants a good fight like most saiyans. The warrior brought out his ssj state faster than he was ever able to before his training with Trunks. Thus his hair became gold with emerald eyes just as Broly. "Just remember you brought this on yourself." He stated taking on his defensive stance.

Broly put on a blood thirsty grin. "Come, now's your time to die!" He said flaring his golden aura.

The two warriors were now ready for battle.

Ok now, Broly has made himself known to Tarble, now the first fight of the Broly saga can begin. Now in case you guys are curious to where everyone is in terms of strength I will explain.

Paragas was between ascended Vegeta and Goku.

17, 18, and, now 16 with 15's power core are now close to that level only slightly lower than Paragas.

Trunks and Tarble are on par in terms of strength, their powers now rival Goku after he exited the time chamber. Why is Trunks stronger than he was in canon?

We'll remember he had already trained for a year BEFORE he entered the time chamber so now he's had another year in addition to the hyperbolic time chamber's harsh enviorment. Then there's also Tarble who unlike Vegeta was willing to train WITH Tarble rather than on his own. Had Vegeta and Trunks trained together they could have become even more powerful maybe not as strong as Gohan's ssj form but still strong. So with Tarble as a sparring partner and both thinking of ideas for SSJ it was clear to me that they would achieve the same level of strength of atleast Goku's level.

Why isn't Tarble stronger? He spent time getting Trunks stronger so that he could have a sparring partner to work with, also Trunks felt much more motivated after being defeated so many times.

Now for Broly being so talkitive? Remember he's a lot more sane, wheter he keeps it or not will be shown in later chapters.

Ok so that's my reasoning for eveyrone's strength, Broly's will be discussed in the next chapter. Anyway now reviews.

Guest: I don't understand what you mean, this version of Trunks never had them. But now he's surpassed his canon counterpart so I guess that answers your question.

Lazer355: Thanks, I tried to let him keep his sadistic nature with a dash of sanity.

The Tell-Tale Man: Thanks, soon? I have an idea on when it will happen, but I prefer not to spoil, you'll have to wait and see.

shadowwriter01: Thank you, and yeah the ussj definitely had it's list of weaknesses, I just didn't think it was important to list them all. I was only trying to make a good reason why Trunks new better of the ussj's flaws unlike in canon. I'm enjoying Broly's personality as well, if only they had it in the movie. I see a while ago you updated your story, I'll give it my review soon.

Ok, guys, have an awesom day as always. :)
