35 The Urge To Stretch!

One month later Broly awoke refreshed after a peaceful night of meditation, a jet of bubbles shooting out of his mouth as he deeply exhaled like an awakening dragon expelling the turbid air from his body. Craning his head slightly upwards he glanced up at the corner of his incubator as he examined the glowing readouts reversed words prominently displayed there. Name: Broly, Gender: Male, Parents: Paragus / Cress, Date of Birth: 737, Rank: Low-Class, Power Level: 213, Time in Incubator: 15 months.

15 months, "wow, how time flies" Broly thought as he read how long he had been inside his incubator the numerical reading echoing in his mind causing him to actually begin to considered how long he had really been inside this small space and the shear thought of it caused him to start to feel a little cramped. Indeed after 15 onerous month of being confined within a small enclosure Broly was starting to feel the urge to stretch his legs yet he continued to meditate and train assiduously for he wisely knew that in little more than a few fleeting months the entire planet would be no more than a pile of dust floating thru space and that during his daring escape with Jewel (his lovely yet somewhat lacking combat wise companion) he would have to face incalculable amounts of unknown issue's along the way with the entire planet erupting around them both.

So with his honed willpower and adult mentality he channeled this strong desire for freedom back into himself and used it to fuel his urge to train and to further his need to grow stronger for unlike the majority of the universes inhabitants he had a clear grasp of the power structure of the universe and was well aware of the strength of the many power houses out there.

However regardless of what his true power level was he had continued to keep up his average saiyan infant facade, maintaining the seemingly steady rate of growth of his power level by gradually increasing the amount of Ki he released from his body. But despite exuding a robust power level of 213 he was still classified as a Low-Class saiyan by the system and based on his understanding of saiyan warrior classes and from what Jewel had told him he would be considered one until his Power Level was near 5,000 the level of a decent Mid-Class saiyan warrior.

The rest of the day past as usually, but the next morning Jewel informed him of some good news. It seemed she had finished creating the new OS software for some special modifications he had asked her to make to his incubator. His latest incubator being the newest model came with a variety of new and improved technologies all combined to help promote the growth of the young saiyans housed within them into the perfect warrior. Not only did it help strengthen the body and power of the young Saiyan, it went a step even further by helping their minds grow stronger, teaching the saiyan infants thru a sort of VR sub-neural wireless uplink in their sleep of the basic knowledge of the universe, the history of their people, and most importantly how to fight.

Knowing his incubator was also equipped with this sub-neural uplink he had asked Jewel to modify its software to allow him to have not only direct cognizant mental control of the entire VR system but to link it up directly to the Galactic Database so he could learn and study about the Dragon Ball universe around him.

Hearing his revolutionary ideas Jewel was indeed immensely intrigued and had spent the last few months furiously tinkering away at her wrist computer, rapidly working her way thru billions of line of code as she created a new OS specifically tailored for him to run on the incubators sub-neural uplink. The final product was a massive software packaged she cleverly disguised as a normal software update which fortunately for both of them she managed to smoothly uploaded into his own incubator safely.

Still when the incubators console displayed "UPDATE COMPLETE" both Broly and Jewel sighed with relief before Jewel suddenly smugly stuck out her chest as she proudly boasted to him saying, "I don't know what you were worried about Broly, such a simple software modification is easy peasy for a SUPER engineer like me!"

Smiling gleefully Broly coolly replied, "You did indeed make it look easy, so I guess in this case, you also could claim to have momentarily been almost as awesome as I always am Jewel and thank you for a job exceedingly well done, you truly have gone above and beyond this time my lovely little saiyan engineer."

"SUPER engineer" Jewel quickly interjected with and insistent tone.

"Oops, your quite right Jewel, my lovely little saiyan "SUPER" engineer!" Broly complyingly corrected with a roguish grin on his childish face.

"That's much better." Jewel happily spoke while nodding her head approvingly back and forth with a look of prideful contentment on her face.

"Indeed Jewel, I'm glad you've gotten over your embarrassment and have come to accept your fate as one of my families most prized members. Why I thought it would take nearly twice as long for you to accept the inevitability of your situation but this is a most welcome turn of events if I do say so myself and so as the head of my family I graciously welcome you as the newest familial member to the most exclusive familial society in existence and now with you joining that brings the total members up to...2! Well I guess I better take this new OS of yours for a test run so welcome to the family Jewel and TTYL!" Broly said cunningly with his silver tongue, pulling and entire herd instead of just one rabbit from his empty magicians top hat before quickly like a world renowned magician he slipped away smoothly without anyone realizing, safely sending his mind into the digital world of Jewel's OS.

Still nodding her head back and forth happily high on the fumes of her success, Jewel unthinkingly continued to agree with everything Broly said before reflexively responding to his farewell warmly saying, "Why thank you Broly, I'm so glad to have been given the honor of joining your family Broly and good luck, I'm sure my "SUPER" OS will blow you aw....."

Her voice suddenly tapering off as she finally managed to process the entirety of Brolys last few sentences causing her face to not turn the usual red but rainbow, going thru every shade of color possible as she realized what Broly had just tricked her into agreeing too by skillfully twisting her silent agreement into a full blown 1,000 page contract. At once she was filled with two conflicting powerful emotions, rage and joy.

The rage was fueled by more embarrassment then the fact that she had been fooled while the joy was pure for it was driven by the single thought that Broly had wanted her to join his family so badly that he had resorted to word play and trickery to achieve his goal, for without the slightest hesitation he had cast aside any semblance of honor and respect he had accumulated so far to unerringly acquire her complete and total assimilation into his family.

After sorting thru her various thoughts and feeling for awhile Jewel's joy eventually overpowered her other thoughts and emotions causing a pinkish hue to stain her faces ivory cheeks as she fully accepted her integration into Brolys family thinking "Well, I guess I don't mind being part of your family Broly" before whispering privately to herself in the deepest part of her heart, "Take good care of me!"
