All the pressure withdrew, and a voice sounded out.

"Are you okay?" Unexpectedly the voice was gentle and filled with excitement, completely contrasting the dominating and violent pressure the stranger gave off a moment ago. He tapped on his badge before focusing his attention back to her.

"Yes, I'm alright."

"Good. Do you need something? Something to eat, to drink?"

"I- I'm fine. My- my village was attacked. My parents. Dad, sacrificed himself to save..." Her voice became quieter as she mumbled to herself, seemingly not wanting to believ her own words.

While she was deep in thoughts the city lord appeared in the room, without the woman noticing.

"What's your name?" Broly asked the woman who was still mumbling to herself. Coming out of daze, as she looked at Broly.

"Violet" She responded in a quiet voice.

"Hey Violet, I'm Broly. You are in Elpis now. I swear nothing can hurt you anymore." He answered with a smile.

"I don't know what you are feeling right now. But I need you to be strong now. Tell us what happened, so we can stop whatever attacked your village, so it can't hurt anybody else." Broly said while holding her hand tightly.

She looked at him, repeating the words 'be strong' in her head. She took a deep breath.

"The CE attacked us."

She recounted all that she saw, tried to remember the number and appearance of the CE and any other details she could think of.

"Well done, Violet. Now rest well, we will take care of the rest. You have helped us tremendously." Broly was about to leave with the city lord, before she screamed out.

"Wait! I-I want to join the army." The army of the city, Elpis was entirely trained for the battles against the CE. They were at the frontline, fighting and protecting the city and the villages in the vicinity.

"Alright. I will send someone to pick you up." The city lord wanted to reject her at first but after he saw the resolve in the young woman's eyes, he knew that she would find other ways to confront the CEs in the future to take revenge. It would be better if she had others to support her.

They went back to the city's hall for emergencies, here all the heads of the various races were already assembled to hear what she said after waking up. Broly was the only one who wasn't a leader but as the champion the other races acknowledged him with a nod. There were a lot of races involved other than the 10 warrior races, which participated in the tournament. All the other races were mostly who were fonder of brains than brawn as they would say it. They were the reason why the city was a scientifically developed on. All the training rooms were also invented by them.

Broly was a bit confused by the point, if they had the technology why didn't they leave. It wouldn't be that difficult to move everyone in the timespan of a few years with the technology they had on hands. He could accept the fact that they didn't want to abandon their home planet, but they are risking going instinct to stay here and they aren't a warrior race to begin with.

The discussion became heated, as they didn't know how much weight they can put on Violet's story. They couldn't accumulate much in one-year time to last them and all the villagers, who will be coming, for long. Usually the attack would only last a month, as long as the moon is up, but now it would be indefinite. Maybe now they would send all their hidden forces to attack. They couldn't be sure that it wouldn't last longer than the rations they have.

'They are testing the waters now, if it was as usual, we would have a few days to come up with a solution, but for now we should call in an emergency situation, calling the villagers back for protection, temporarily at least.'

After the meeting was called off, the city lord asked Broly about his situation, feeling that Broly was a bit different than before. Before a bit of aura would always leak out but now, he couldn't sense anything.

"I completed my control." The city lord widened his eyes a bit. This would only mean that Broly's progress would only accelerate. The city lord looked forward, what Broly would show him in the future. To what extend he would grow.

"So, what do you want to do now, more missions?"

"For now, no. I will wait here and train. The current me would be of limited use, but once I achieve one of my goals, I will be unstoppable on this planet." Broly's eyes were practically gleaming as he talked.

"Oh? Pretty confident for a 3-year-old. Hehe. I hope you will surprise me."

*****

For the next days the city was flocked with thousands of people from all kinds of races. There were more and more reports of CE sightings. Few of the CE were killed, but they didn't initiate a large-scale attack, with the exception of a few villages, it was pretty much quiet. However, they did attack Elpis at one point, Broly saw their futile attempt of attacking the city's barrier, before being killed by the guards.

Another week passed before the CE retracted towards the far north, seemingly gathering into a single place. Usually they would all retract to different directions, but now they focused on one point. It was an unfound behavior from them. Therefore, making their retreat from an initial happy event to an anxious one.

Broly was still training undisturbed by those happenings anymore. This time he wasn't meditating he was done with controlling his center, now it was time for him to train his body. Although he didn't completely erase meditating from his routine, the last few days were just physical training under 400g in the gravity chamber. Doing basic bodyweight training that he did in his past life.

He spent hours in there before he went to the other disciples, who were training in there respective training rooms, for a spar. He would usually battle it out with Zinjo or Atrog for close combat before going to Yenari to have a taste of her white feather-shot and Blitz for his incredible speed to train his mobility and speed. He was increasing tremendously after each and every battle he had. So much it frightened the others, putting them under a lot of competitive pressure.

He always saved the best for last. He loved to fight against Alea, as she always polished her techniques and movements. Her talent for martial arts were top-class. In terms of using her strength in the most effective way, she was considered the best amongst the disciples.

He was learning a lot from her, adapting to her way of fighting only made his movements increasingly sharp. Of course, Alea progressed in leaps and bounds as well, to be exact every sparring partner from Broly did. Since it was rare to have such a dangerous sparring partner, who could not only dodge most attacks but also just bulldoze through attacks without flinching, if he wanted to. Against him they were constantly on alert, if they didn't want to be punched into a wall.
