Chapter 38 - 35: King Colds Retirement! (V) (1/2)

”Why is one of the special pods being occupied!? These pods are meant only for the mightiest of our elite Saiyans. I demand an explanation immediately!”

Upon hearing King Vegeta's enraged voice, each of the royal scientists in the room felt cold shivers go down their spines, and quivered, but in order to please the King from not getting any angrier the one who was holding the power level gauge stepped forth. Upon closer look this Saiyan was the tallest of the three that were hovering near the green pod. He had a rather large oval-chiseled face and short brown hair that waved off to the right side. He was currently holding a an advanced model of the power level gauge that was hooked up to the mainframe that was hidden within the Chamber of Pods. Him, along with the other two were wearing pale blue lab coats with white insulin stuffed around the neck area, and each one wore the standardized battle armor, black plating, but he didn't have any shoulder guards. His face appeared to be rather scrunched up, he was called Totor. The middle Saiyan was the smallest of the three, who appeared half the size of Totor. His hair almost appeared to be shaven, with two small bangs protruding over his forehead. He had a thick mustache that converged into a finely cut beard. He was called Ghenji. The last of the three was called Turrin, and his height appeared to be in the middle of Totor and Ghenji. He rather had a serious air on him, also having short hair but two long bangs dr.a.p.ed down both sides of his face with slanted eyes. He also didn't have any shoulder guards on his battle armor and only Ghenji actually had yellow shoulder plating. All three of them were non-combatant Saiyans and they hid their tails underneath their robes. It was Totor who spoke up to King Vegeta in a panic.

”Y-Your Majesty, there is indeed a Saiyan occupying the special green pod. We saw Colonel Paragus come here with a newborn Saiyan and personally placed him inside a couple months ago, right after that strange phenomenon happened. He's called Broly, Y-Your Majesty, the son of Colonel Paragus.”

”That Paragus got a kid, huh? But why the hell did he place his son inside one of the special pods!? Even if he belongs to the Palace, they're only meant for the mightiest of our elite warriors! Surely he can't match my pride and joy!”

”Y-Your Majesty, when we first scanned Broly, his power levels fluctuated by quite a bit and it even peaked at 10,000! Without a doubt Broly will grow into one of our finest warriors to date. In fact out of the registered power levels his is the highest that we've ever seen here in the Palace! He even placed higher than the twins that were born seven years ago, it was really surprising.”

”A power level of 10,000!? That's preposterous! Prince Vegeta was born with a power level of 5,000 and he is destined to rule this universe! Hand me that power level gauge immediately, I'll test him personally. Also, one more word regarding those two devil spawns and none of you will live to see the light of day!”

”O-Our deepest apologies, Your Majesty. Here is the power level gauge Y-Your Majesty requested.”

Totor kept stuttering his words as he spoke his honest opinion to King Vegeta, only to end up enraging him even more, which threatened the lives of the three. King Vegeta then immediately snatched the power level gauge and with a bang, he placed his hand on Broly's Pod. The loud bang caused Broly to wake up from his deep sleep, and started to cry loudly, but King Vegeta ignored his crying. King Vegeta then turned on the device and he slowly started to see the number climb from 0. Once the device climbed all the way to 10,000 sparks started fly off the device, before a loud boom echoed throughout the room, causing the device to explode into small metal chunks. Right Before it exploded into tiny pieces, King Vegeta felt a very powerful jolt streak up his right arm, which he immediately grasped onto with his other hand, and felt a slight pain, causing him to retreat a few steps. Ghenji and Turrin immediately hovered over the broken device, collecting its pieces, as Totor tried to calm down King Vegeta.

”O-Our deepest apologies, Your Majesty. I-It seems the power level gauge has malfunctioned. We will go retrieve a new one immediately.”

After saying this, Totor signaled his assistant who was doing her assigned work further down the room, and she was a female Saiyan. She wore a smaller pale blue robe that had battle armor over the top with no shoulder plating just like Totor and Turrin. She was called Jino, and she also hid her tail beneath her robe, from view. Her hairstyle was rather unique as it appeared to be like an upside down pot with large curved bangs going down the sides of her face, and it was deep blue in color. The air around her seemed to be more of that of a secretary rather than a laboratory assistant. Even though she was further down, the bang from the explosion was loud enough to catch her attention, only to see Totor's power level gauge burst into pieces shortly after. Jino then heard Totor call out to her for a new one and she immediately rushed off to their storage area. It only took a few moments before she came rushing back in, handing a new power level gauge to Totor, before she resumed her duties which included checking the pods' stability and durability, all while holding a tablet that assisted her note taking.

Upon receiving another power level gauge, Totor immediately placed it on Broly's pod, who during this time fell back asleep thanks to the pod's sedative. Baby Broly did not hear the beeping of the power level gauge, and before long Totor saw the number climb from 0 only up until 5,000, which was half than the spike he had seen previously.

”Your Majesty, it seems it only recorded a power of 5,000 this time, which is less than half of what it was previously. When we scanned him a few times before and there were a few anomalous ratings but maybe it was because of the previous malfunction that did that...but there is no doubt that Broly's latent abilities far exceeds that of the Prince's, Y-Your Majesty.”

”Also, even if we purge those anomalous readings Broly gave off previously, his latent abilities are still quite exceptional, Your Majesty.”

At this time, it was Jino, who was further away than the three scientists, that pitched in. Hearing this still caused blue veins to appear on King Vegeta's forehead.

”The Prince's latent abilities are record-breaking for us Saiyans. Are you saying that Paragus's brat rivals that of my pride and joy!?”

”T-That's correct, Y-Your Majesty. He might even be the L-Legendary Super Saiyan!”

As if the ball was dropped, silence soon pervaded the Chamber of Pods. Anger soon turned to annoyance on King Vegeta's face and he soon couldn't take it anymore.

”Anything related to the Legendary Super Saiyan are just fairy tales! Besides even if those myths were true, my son would definitely be the one to become the Legendary Super Saiyan, not this brat with these abnormal readings. Paragus's son might even be a danger to our race, given the severity of these readings...Proper action definitely needs to be taken.”

”Y-Your Majesty, Colonel Paragus is currently away on a mission, wouldn't it be better for him to be here before you relay any news regarding his family?”

”Tch, it's been mission after mission from those Cold Force bastards, making us seize planets for them. We have our pride as a warrior race, we shouldn't submit to those bastards! How long will it take Paragus to return?”

”No more than two weeks from the looks of it, Your Majesty.”

”Very well, I will decide the sentence within these two weeks, I will have the royal guards bring Paragus to the Palace once he returns.”

”As you wish, Your Majesty!”
