148 Resurrection (2/2)

”Daddy, no. We can beat them!” Rah, the oldest, screamed out.

Thud.

”I love you.” Lys said and slumped down as her strength left her body.

”I am so sorry.” Reap apologized as he gently put her on the ground while supporting her head. Lys' breathing became short and abrupt. She grasped Reap's hand tightly as if to encourage him. She couldn't say anything as blood filled her mouth. She took a last look at her children before every movement ceased and she died.

”Cut into her neck. Write 'For Alea' and then I am satisfied.” After hearing this, Reap hatefully looked at Daz.

”Seems like you don't want your sons to survive after all.” Daz said without changing his tone.

Reap could only swallow his hate and write down the message on his wife's neck like he did to Alea. His hands were trembling and only with difficulties was he able to finish it.

”I did what you ask me to do!”

”Yes, you did.” Daz said, looking at Broly.

”Kill his sons.” Broly said coolly.

Reap immediately jumped to his kids but on the way his body was pressed to the ground by an invisible force.

”We had a deal! You would let them live!!” Reap struggled to get up but to no avail.

”Daz said he wouldn't kill your sons, but that didn't include us.” Broly said as he sat down on Reap's back and straightened Reap's head to look at his sons. He forced his eyes open and made him watch them.

The others moved out and started beating the sons to death, while Reap was helplessly made to watch. His eyes were bloodshot and tried his best to struggle free but crippled he stood no chance.

After a while they stopped moving.

”Even if I die today-” Reap's hateful voice sounded out but his teeth were instantly smashed by Daz' kick. Broly stepped back. Daz stomped on his back, snapping it in half, before Daz generated ki in his palm and pulverized Reap's body. Nothing was left of this fearsome assassin. The others disposed of the other bodies as well before Broly blasted the whole castle into oblivion, which finally alerted the other inhabitants of this planet.

Broly and the others disappeared through space and after making some detours. Broly and Daz made their way to Exousia while the others went to New Namek.

Fortunately for them, the dragon balls weren't used again. They quickly gathered them from the Namekians and waited for the others.

Broly and Daz arrived shortly after with Broly carrying Alea's body. Broly put her body down in front of the dragon balls. They quickly made the two wishes to heal her body and to return her soul to her body. After Porunga confirmed their wishes they released a sigh of relief. After all, there were some situations when Porunga couldn't revive someone before and that made them anxious.

Alea's eyes trembled slightly before she opened them and looked around. Broly helped her up and hugged her tightly. Alea seemed to have remembered something as her eyes became watery and tears fell down her cheek.

Daz and the others hugged her deeply and tried to cheer her up, but she could only sob. They returned to Exousia after making their wishes.

They remained with her for the next day and tried to cheer her up before they departed and let Broly and Alea have some time for the two only.

Broly knew that it hit her quite hard. Although she was a strong fighter, she was also a very gentle person and wouldn't easily handle something like being killed. Broly had toughen the girls up with the training sessions but that was all they were, training sessions. After the day the others spent with her and her tears had dried, one could guess that she would recover soon but Broly knew that wasn't the case.

He had seen the memories from Reap. She was cultivating and was about to make another jump in terms of her control but at a critical moment space opened and a sword directly pierced through her chest. As tough as a Saiyan's physique is, she didn't die immediately but started counterattacking with some ki blasts, but her strength was already lessened rapidly.

The attacks were easily blocked by Reap. She tried to escape but he prevented all of her attempts and pinned her down. She slowly bled out. She knew if she only opened the door, her ki would be noticed by the others. As she was pinned down, she hoped that someone would safe her but until her last breath no one did.

Broly had seen her expression filled with fear. He saw the hoping glint in her eyes until she couldn't last any longer.

Slowly dying, hoping for rescue to come only to die alone with an assassin in an empty room.

This wasn't something she could easily brush off after being revived. Broly feared that this would scar her, so he stayed with her until she would recover, no matter how long that would take.
