25 Sincere Oath

Authors Note: Seasons Greeting to all! A lots happened to me over the past few months which is why I haven't written in a while. To sum the series of tragic events, parents died, car accident with a drunk driver actually named GARY (the curse continues) a few days after funeral, both arms end up in casts, in-laws fighting over parents will, etc...

Basically I have been under a lot of stress and haven't had any time to commit to the writing in quite a while. Still last week my casts came off while yesterday I finally had some breathing room and suddenly felt the urge to write so as my present to you I will be posting the few chapters I have written since yesterday, sorry if they're a little grammatically rough. Hopefully by the new year I will be able to free up enough time to post regularly every day.

...

After spending some time to together chatting amiably about some basic daily things he would have to know when he came out, Broly suddenly asked something which he had been mulling over in the back of his head for a while now.

"Jewel, I noticed your home was somewhat messy, which to be honest for a girl, even a Saiyan girl is quite unusual. And it made me recall what the Chief engineer said to you earlier in the hallway, about your parents. If it not to painful, would it be too much asking what happened to your parents?"

"My parents are both dead." Noticing the look of concern which suddenly appeared on his face Jewel smiled warmly as she said. "Oh it alright Broly, it's not a secret or anything since everyone knows about my parents." Her face then grew dark as her eyes flashed with ominous unseen emotions before she continued speaking in a grave tone tinged with immeasurable sorrow and rage. "It's only been a little more than 2 years since they died and to this day I still can't accept how ironic their death is, for them to both go in such a senseless manner, after everything they'd been thru, what with them both surviving all of the horrors of the Tuffles war only to be killed on a priority mission by friendly forces. Can you believe it, they were both super engineers and veteran mid-class Saiyan warriors but one priority mission off-world and they are both killed not in battle, nor protecting something vital but by a stray attack made by Ginyu Force. FUCKING GINYU FORCE!!! Their supposed to be are allies yet they always treat us as disposable pawns. I will never forgive those traitorous backstabbing bastards, NEVER!!!" Shouting out the final "NEVER" with gritted teeth, she suddenly buckled at the knees collapsing upon the ground in tears as she cried with a low heart wrenching moan of pure sorrow for the parents she had lost at an early age.

Seeing her cry evocated sadness within himself as he silently winced in pain, his heart suddenly resonating with Jewel and the her overwhelming feelings of lose. "Jewel, I'm so sorry, I...I shouldn't have asked you to tell me about them...it...it was wrong of me too."

Raising her tear streaked face a smile appeared as she heard his comforting words. "No, its fine Broly...I... I wanted you to know, about them and how I truly feel. Besides, like I said there death is not a secret."

Yet despite her denial of his self-incrimination and heartfelt words of sincerity he only felt a stronger urge to share his vehement feelings with her. "You don't understand Jewel, seeing you cry, feeling the sorrow within your words as you spoke about them and now knowing the consequences of my thoughtless question, that it inadvertently caused you pain by making you remember something awful, causes the beating heart within my chest to hurt so much. Now I'm certain, I don't ever want to see you cry again Jewel. I promise you Jewel, I'm never going to let you have a reason to cry again, no one or thing will ever cause you sorrow. NOT EVER!!!"

Hearing his sincere oath of eternal protection while seeing is eyes suddenly blaze with brilliant green flames of ardor as he said "NOT EVER!" caused a warm wondrous sensation to suddenly fill her heart as she smiled with elation until her deeply rooted doubts continuously eroded this feeling until finally her smile suddenly began slacken somewhat as her doubts outweighed this warm feeling and caused her to hesitatingly asked, "You can't be serious Broly?"

Looking directly into the depths of her lovely eyes he solemnly spoke with a voice resplendent with a manly aura of absolutes as he stated what was in his opinion an absolute fact and not negotiable whatsoever. "I've never been more serious, for not even death can keep me from keeping this promise to you Jewel. I promise you Jewel, not even death!"

Hearing the finality of his tone caused a roaring sun of pure joy to suddenly burst into existence within her heart, its blazing rays instantly filling every inch of her heart before quickly overflowing filling every part of her body with a torrent of incomparably warm joy causing her to suddenly begin crying once again.

See her start to cry again Broly wore a look part grimace, part uncertainty as he quickly said, "Please don't cry Jewel Didn't I just say you won't have to ever cry again so long as I am her to support you so why are you crying again Jewel?"

Hearing his heartfelt words filled with pure feelings of concern and compassion Jewel smiled despite the two rivers which continued to flow down both sides of her lovely face and said joyfully, "It OK Broly, these are tears of happiness not sorrow, so it's perfectly OK!"

For several more minutes Jewel continued to cry, letting her tears flow unceasingly without restriction for this was a spiritually cleansing process and the more she cried the freer she felt of her troubles. The dark emotions and doubt which had plagued her for the past few years having been fully dredged up by their conversation were now slowly yet inexorably being washed away by her purifying tears of joy.

Like an evening after a long hot day of hard work the feeling of the filth of her heart and soul was completely expunged by the cleansing rain of her bittersweet tears was indescribably wonderful. Eventually she finished crying and excused herself saying she was going to go wash her face then head towards the mess hall to get something to eat.

But who could believe Broly would hear about Frieza's personal elite squadron Ginyu Force so soon. Originally Broly was planning on laying low and letting events play out the same as he remembered but now it seemed he would have to step in and deal with these evil alien bastards personally since it appears they had inadvertently indirectly caused his precious Jewel so much pain and sorrow resulting in a lasting mental trauma which could only be cured by their painful demise.

"How dare these filthy aliens cause such a beautiful kind girl like Jewel to cry, unforgivable!" He thought mercilessly. " For the sin of making my precious Jewel cry there can be only one judgment, DEATH!!!I promise I will make their death wails echo throughout the universe!"
