Chapter 8 - Invasion Plan

Dragon Ball timeline is such a convoluted mess now that I think about it. I remember reading on Wikipedia that Cerealian subjugation start around Age 733, but somehow, Bardock alludes to his newborn son Kakarot, when he saw the mother and child duo, Muezli and Granola. Even though Kakarot or Son Goku should be born around Age 736 or 737 because he's 4 or 5 years younger than Vegeta and I.

Looks like the timeline inconsistency corrects itself here. From what I saw on my scouter, the Cerealian subjugation has just entered the preparation stage. I immediately sign up for the invasion and I was granted the highest authority on the Saiyan Force by the higher-ups, which in this case, King Vegeta himself. Now that I've become the leader of the Saiyan Force in this expedition, I send the notice for all the participants to meet me at the place I acquire from the logistic.

When I arrived at the meeting place, I saw a group of 6 Saiyans standing in the middle area. They have some conversation with each other, while a big Saiyan can be seen munching on something. I see the owner of the iconic messy hair of Son Goku, sitting on a rock while closing his eyes a couple of meters from the Saiyans Group. As I walk towards Bardock, he opens his eyes, stands up, and alerts the other Saiyans to my presence. I decide to start the conversation first by addressing the team co-leader.

"Bardock I presume? My name is Broly, your team leader for the invasion of planet Cereal. As this is originally your team, and I'm still in the learning process, I nominate you as the co-leader and will defer to your expertise from time to time. But know this, I will have the last say on any matter" I begin cordially but sternly.

"Of course, Broly-Sama," Bardock says while nodding. I can see skepticism written on his face.

I don't need to show dominance, as most people in the Saiyan Force know me as Prince Vegeta's aide. That title would normally mean nothing for a Saiyan though, as they only believe in power. They would've scoffed and demanded an explanation of why their leader is a brat, but a series of shouts stop them from doing so.

"Wh-wh-What the Hell!"

"Impossible...."

"Gurgk...."

"Hey hey, what the hell happen to you guys?" the only female Saiyan asks their group.

"His...His power is off the chart!" a Saiyan with a buzzcut says.

"Eh? Hmm... Let me see... Wh-what?! Over fifty thousand?!" the female Saiyan exclaimed.

Bardock's head turn so fast towards me that I fear he got whiplash from it. He clicks on his scouter, and he widens his eyes.

'Yes yes, it's over 9000, get on with it' I thought.

"Enough, get over here and introduce yourself," I said, bored of this routine.

A series of "YES SIR!" later and they get closer to introducing the six. The rotund Saiyan with a bowl haircut introduces himself as Shugesh and he also introduces the biggest Saiyan in the group named Borgos. Then two Saiyans with similar appearances introduce themself together as Tora and Taro, the taller one is Tora while the shorter one is Taro, and both of them are cousins. The buzzcut Saiyan is named Leek, while the only female Saiyan is named Fasha.

"Again, my name is Broly, I will lead this group for the Planet Cereal incursion. Seeing as I'm still inexperienced on this matter, I will defer to your previous leader, Bardock, from time to time and reinstate him as a co-leader of this group" I explain to the Saiyans.

"If you have any questions for me this is the right time," I say while observing them.

"Broly-Sama, if I may?" Bardock start, then he continues.

"How are you so strong Broly-Sama? I have seen numerous Elite-Saiyan, but no one has come even remotely close to you" Bardock gives voice to the group question.

"That question has a simple answer Bardock. I train" I answer while shrugging.

"Err, not to be a dick or anything Broly-Sama, but we also have a daily training session. We even undergo hard training in preparation for missions" the rotund Saiyan, Shugesh, answers.

"Yes, you guys train harder, but it doesn't mean you train smarter. You guys know that Saiyan gets a boost in their power every time they survive a battle right?"

"Yeah, the Zenkai right?" the shorter cousin, Taro, answer me.

"Indeed, Zenkai triggers when you survive and healed from your battle injuries, increasing Saiyan's power to overcome the bigger threats. What Saiyans lack is a method to continuously have a significant Zenkai, because most Saiyans don't have access to heal their injury after such battle. We do have a healing tank technology, but they are not effective, as the injured Saiyans need to wait for quite some times inside the healing tank to fully heal"

"And if every Saiyan are doing this, we will have a long queue of injured Saiyan who wait for their injury to get treated in the healing tank. In the worst-case scenario, they will either die or be permanently disabled, and both will severely deplete our manpower. Thankfully, with my help, this will no longer be the case"

All the present Saiyans become giddy when hearing this.

"Will you provide us with the healing tank for the training, um... Broly-Sama?" Tora asks eagerly.

"Hmm? No, I will heal you myself" several Saiyan give me a confused stare as I say this.

I walk towards Tora and give him my lightest jab to his abdomen. He immediately buckled and retch while holding his abdomen, which rile the other Saiyans. They instantly enter a combat stance, ready to help their fellow Saiyans. I admire their camaraderie towards their own, willingness to face even if they know they have no chance. I stop the notion with a left-hand gesture and heal the downed Saiyan. The effect is immediate, as Taro stops retching on all four and stands up. He began patting his stomach with a confused expression.

"Sorry for the crude demonstration but as you can see, I can heal any injury you may sustain. Oh, one more thing" I said, explaining while preparing a new set of cloth for their training.

With a thud, the weighted clothes materialize in front of each Saiyans, which freaks them out.

"Don't be a baby, this is a simple ability of mine. These are your new armor set for the duration of your training with me. Each set of those cloth weight 50Kg and you will wear it anytime, except when you need to change if it's damaged or when you cleanse yourself. If it's damaged or dirty and you want to change it, I will provide you with a new one. Don't think about not wearing them, I'll know" I said while looking at them.

I saw most of the Saiyans gulping, while Bardock's eyes look fired up. Heh, like father like son, huh?

"Chop chop, we don't have all day and I need to explain to you about a bunch of things" I shout to the Saiyans and they lift the training clothes and run to get changed.

I can feel the strain on my muscle as I force my body to move under the constant stress from the pressure to dodge a KI blast coming from behind me, felt by my KI sense. I spin to turn against my attacker, then throw a KI ball I charge in my right hand. I saw Tora try to deflect my KI ball with a right backhand but completely miss it as the ball swerves. Surprised and overextended, he got hit by the KI ball which threw him and then explode.

I exhaled a sigh of relief for the battle is finally won. A fight to the death is not common among fellow Saiyans as we're not lacking for an enemy, but allies are rare for us. The usual training method is usually a spar that ended in bruises, unlike what Broly-Sama taught us. With him as a hard taskmaster, we are demanded to learn what he believes the standard KI technique any fighter worth their salt has. KI sense, suppression, and barrier. The first two, in my opinion, make the main purpose of a scouter entirely useless. While the last one helps us survive the harshest condition on any battleground.

Training in these three techniques also boosts the efficiency of our KI control. If before I use a lot of KI when charging a specific KI blast technique and takes a while before I can unleash it, after undergoing Broly-Sama's KI training, I use less KI when charging the same technique, and it also takes less time. What confuses me is when he taught me a KI technique called Kamehameha Wave. He said that it's a Legacy, even though I don't remember my family besides Gine and Raditz. I'm not complaining though, as it's a very potent KI blast technique.

I walk towards Tora who regains consciousness after Broly-Sama heals him, eager to get healed too.

"You did great for a second there Tora, but you get cocky and didn't anticipate Bardock's counter-attack" Broly-Sama chastised Tora.

"Hehehe, Sorry Broly-Sama" Tora laugh unabashed.

'Guess it's my turn now' I sigh.

"And you Bardock, you rely too much on your KI sense. It's a good way to accustom yourself to KI sense in the heat of battle, but if you depend on it too much, an opponent who can suppress their KI well can catch you off guard" Broly-Sama said, giving his evaluation.

"Yes, Broly-Sama" I nod with a grimace.

As Broly-Sama finish healing Tora, he went on to heal me. I felt the warm sensation washing over my body, as the healing technique works its magic. Broly-Sama claims that it is actual magic, but none of us Saiyans ever heard of such a miraculous thing. He tried to teach us Magic, but only Borgos manage even learn the basics. So far, all Borgos can do is move a pebble and send some garbled telepathy to us, unlike Broly-Sama who can do something as ridiculous as move a two-story building with ease and converse with us from the other side of the planet through telepathy.

When all my injuries are treated, I can feel my power increase a little bit. The weighted clothing that Broly-Sama makes, helps us strain our body to the maximum as he increases the weight little by little every time we got used to it. We always feel elated when Broly-Sama orders us to take off the weighted clothing in some sparring session. He says that we need to get used to fighting without the weighted clothing too as we wouldn't wear it on a mission.

"Everyone, I'm proud of what you guys managed to achieve these past 3 months. I can claim without a shadow of a doubt that you stand beyond the so-called Elite-Saiyan in power"

"Usually, an invasion wouldn't require a group with battle power in the range of 25 to 30 thousand like you guys, but I have a different agenda for this mission" Broly-Sama explained to us.

"I fear that Frieza getting restless with our race when we grow our power after each mission. His paranoia is unhealthy, and if he deems us as a threat, genocide is not unlikely"

I clench my fist when I heard this, as I have the same thoughts. I saw my fellow Saiyan's eyes narrow, angry thoughts towards Frieza painted on their face when they heard this. Broly-Sama continues and says something that burns our fighting spirits.

"Prince Vegeta and I plan to kill Frieza one day, will you guys help us?" he said, revealing his true plan.

"Of course Broly-Sama!" "You can count on us!" "Umu..." my comrade answered in a series of affirmative.

"I will help you Broly-Sama," I said with conviction.

"Thank you, friends. Now let's report to our mission station, we depart in one week" he says with a smile.

There is no doubt in our mind that Broly-Sama will achieve greatness, and we, as fellow Saiyans will help him reach it. After all, Broly-Sama is not a mere Saiyan. Deep in our hearts, we believe that Broly-Sama will one day reach the top, and become the Legendary Super Saiyan.
