231 Hyperbolic Time Chamber (1/2)

…

Broly's head slowly turned towards Goku, who had listened in on the conversation. Goku was scratching the back of his head, while laughing as if what was just said wasn't a big deal. A vein bulged on Broly's forehead before he relaxed again.

He deeply sighed out. ”Of course, he did. When was it? Should be yesterday, right? I probably have another week left for preparation.” Broly asked Vegeta.

Vegeta's face darkened even further as he heard Broly's questions. ”A week ago. A day after the fight on Exousia.” Broly just let his head drop on the table as he just couldn't take it anymore and asked disheartened, ”When is the tournament?”

”Tomorrow.”

Silence. No one said anything as they all knew what was on the line, the only thing clearly hearable were Broly's deep breaths.

Alea sat down next to him and caressed his back to cheer him up. However, Broly stood up and walked towards Goku.

”You fucking MORON!!” Broly screamed at Goku, who just laughed it off. Broly's body was heaving heavily as if he was about to lose it. He closed his eyes and breathed out long.

”Puuu. At least, I managed to stall this tournament for 3 years, otherwise I wouldn't have my breakthrough or couldn't even have participated-”

Broly said calming himself down by seeing the positive side of things.

”Actually, I wouldn't had asked Zen-chan to hold the tournament, it was only after I achieved Super Saiyan Blue that I was confident enough to take on the other universes.”

Goku said with a laugh.

”Sweetie, some things should be kept to you.” Gine said with a slight smile on her face. She knew what was about to happen.

”That's it, you are dead!” Broly suddenly shouted as he grabbed Goku at the neck and flew away.

In the distance the thunderous booms were indication enough to what was happening, but no one made any attempts to help Goku out of this predicament.

Bulma suddenly thought of something. ”Alea didn't you say Broly had been to another universe?”

Alea turned around and was a bit confused by the question, ”Yeah, why?”. Bulma didn't answer her but she instead turned to her husband.

”Who out of you, Goku and Broly is the strongest?”

Vegeta was startled by the question and crossed his head as he seemed reluctant to answer the question but under Bulma's scrutinizing glare, he gave in.

”I suppose, Broly is slightly stronger than Kakarot or me.”

Bulma rubbed her chin as she pondered out loud, ”If even Vegeta admits that Broly is stronger, that means Broly is actually on a whole level above the two…”

Vegeta gritted his teeth as he listened to Bulma's mumbling. However, he didn't refute her.

”Since Broly seems to know more about the other universes and seemed to want to be even stronger before the tournament starts, wouldn't that mean that the other universes have some scary powerful beings?”

As soon as her question fell, the others seemed to have realized her concerns and began panicking as well.

At this moment, Broly reappeared with a person that had a swollen face, which made it hard to identify the person.

He landed calmly before he gave Goku to the other earthlings, who tried to feed him a Healing Capsule, but to no avail as his mouth was too big to eat anything.

”Broly!” Vegeta shouted out. ”We have a room called Hyperbolic Time Chamber, in which one year is only one day outside. How about we head there and train?”

Vegeta said as he pointed into the direction of Dende's Lookout with his thumb. In the meantime, Oolong used force to squeeze the capsule into Goku's mouth.

Broly thought for a second. ”Sure. By the way, who will be in our team?” Vegeta started flying towards the Lookout as he shouted, ”I will tell you on the way, let's go.”

Broly patted Alea on the head and then quickly caught up to Vegeta. Another light could be seen following shortly after the two. ”Wait for me, I want to train too!” Goku screamed out midflight.

****

Broly stepped into the pocket dimension called Hyperbolic Time chamber and could immediately tell the difference.

He also instantly knew that even though some flaws had already been fixed, so one wouldn't die if one entered a third time, it still shouldn't be used carelessly.
