145 Back on Exousia (1/2)

Broly silently looked at the Z-Fighters for a while.

”Since you have won, I will return in 7 years for your judgment.” Broly's voice sounded out clearly. Taro looked surprised.

”But Broly they-” Taro quickly stopped speaking after seeing the glare Broly gave him.

”I mean, King Broly, it was obvious that these two weren't from earth and had definitely something to do with their sudden increase in strength, otherwise-”

”Otherwise you would have won? Lucky for you, I was there to save your ass. The two didn't step into the ring so even if they used magic to help the Z-Fighters, it wasn't something I forbid.” Taro seemed to want to continue arguing but seeing Broly's glance, he just swallowed his words. He knew that look, Broly would definitely beat him up if he continues.

Broly turned to the Z-Fighters and let his eyes wander through the group. Their expression gave them away. It looked like they thought the fight would continue as well, but after Broly said it was their victory, they breathed out in relief.

Broly's eyes stopped at Cell, who involuntarily froze like a deer that was about to be hit by a car. Broly grinned slightly.

”Cell, how about it? Want to join my ranks?” Broly offered a hand, which stunned Cell and the other Z-Fighters for a moment. The others looked at Cell waiting for his answer. Cell pondered about it. He was somewhat aware when he was controlled by Towa. He had witnessed Broly's strength, especially after he took off that necklace. If he stayed here, he would need to seriously train to overcome the gap between them and even then, it wasn't a sure victory. He had already trained for a year in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and still saw no way of him beating Broly. Maybe he could absorb every earth's warrior, but even then, would he be able to win? No, he didn't think so.

Cell already took it for granted that this planet was doomed if Broly came back in 7 years, but maybe. Maybe he could follow Broly into the vast universe and absorb as many strong warriors as he could until he became stronger than Broly!

With time and enough warriors to gobble up, he would surely become stronger than Broly someday, but for this he had to become Broly's subordinate and that wasn't something he could endure! He thought about declining the offer, but after feeling Broly's presence and the way he talked, he wasn't sure if he survived if he did decline. As Cell had trouble answering, Broly's voice sounded out once again.

”Just see it as a temporal alliance. I just want to see how far you can go with my support.” Broly had a grin on his face, nobody knew what he was thinking. Cell was skeptical as well, but he felt like he didn't have any choice but to accept the offer.

”Hmm. If that is the case, I see no problem in teaming up.” Cell answered with a seemingly confident smile.

Cell walked steadily to Broly and stood on his side next to Taro. The Z-Fighters didn't say anything as they were aware of Cell's personality after the time, he spent with them. He also had directly destroyed a city after he woke up, they weren't surprised seeing him join Broly after being invited.

”How about you, 17 and 18?” 17 was directly angry after being asked to join Broly's forces.

”You! Do you think we would team up with you after what you did to 16?”

”Sigh, emotional I see, but you do know 16 is a machine right. He may be offline now, but I am sure after you repair him, he will be as good as new and surprisingly I have the tools to do so.” Broly said with a grin. The two androids hesitated to decline now.

”Don't, Bulma will be able to repair him as well!” Unexpectedly, Krillin shouted out, making the two androids renew their stance.

Broly didn't want to wait any longer.
