Planet Vegeta's atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
It was probably because Frieza was about to arrive.
In the Saiyans' eyes, Frieza was a despicable man. Years ago, Frieza had conquered King Vegeta, forcing the entire Saiyan race to serve him.
The Saiyans had been in a bad position at the time. They had only just overthrown the Tuffles' rule, and their people needed time to recover. There was nothing they could do about Frieza's oppressive rule.
But they had all seen how Frieza oppressed them.
So the Saiyans hated Frieza!
Now Frieza had summoned all the Saiyans back for no apparent reason. No one knew what he was planning.
Two spaceships descended from the sky, and Kasso and Ausbie jumped out.
Kasso and the others hadn't traveled from Yardrat solely by spaceship. If they had, it would have taken them another six months to return.
Instead, Kasso and Ausbie had first used Instant Transmission to reach the area near Planet Vegeta, then boarded spaceships to make the rest of the journey.
That way, they had returned to Planet Vegeta legally and would have an excuse if anyone asked.
Kasso and Ausbie went home first. Seeing the familiar furnishings, they felt as though nothing had changed.
But something seemed odd: there wasn't even a speck of dust in the house.
Ausbie ran a hand over a chair and exclaimed, "It's so clean!"
"Aunt Gine must have cleaned it for us!"
Seeing how well-kept the house was warmed Kasso's heart. He couldn't imagine Bardock or Garis doing something like this.
They were both very good to him and Little Biel, but only when it came to important matters. They definitely wouldn't concern themselves with everyday chores like these.
Night soon fell.
Kasso and Ausbie lay in bed, enjoying Planet Vegeta's last moments of peace. Before long, Frieza would destroy the planet.
Kasso planned to visit Bardock and Garis later and explain the situation to them.
Planet Vegeta's nursery.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
Warning! Warning!
Warning: Massive energy detected!
Warning: Energy level exceeds 10,000!
Two incubators stood side by side in the nursery. One was empty; the Saiyan who had been inside it had long since disappeared.
A Saiyan infant lay in the other. As he cried, alarms rang throughout the nursery, and red lights flashed in the dim room.
"What's going on? Why are the alarms going off?"
"Those young masters had better not be in trouble, or we're done for."
A group of aliens in white lab coats rushed over. If anything happened to the Saiyan infants in the nursery, even ten of them wouldn't be enough to satisfy the Saiyans' wrath!
These researchers were prisoners captured during the Saiyans' conquests. If they hadn't been reasonably skilled in technology, the Saiyans would have sent them to meet King Yemma long ago!
"No, this can't be!"
"Look!"
They saw something unbelievable: the infant Saiyan named Broly's power level was rising without stopping.
"8,000."
"8,500."
"9,500."
How was this possible? How?
A newborn Saiyan infant had such a high power level!
And it was still rising.
"10,000."
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
Warning! Warning!
"Quick, go report this to King Vegeta!"
Inside King Vegeta's palace.
"What? A newborn Saiyan named Broly has a power level over 10,000?" King Vegeta looked disbelieving.
Impossible. Could he be the Legendary Super Saiyan?
"No. Only my Prince Vegeta is the strongest."
King Vegeta's face twisted with murderous intent. "Broly, don't blame me. Blame yourself for having such a powerful battle power!"
He raised a hand, about to signal his men to kill Broly.
Then he suddenly asked, "Who is his father?"
"Your Majesty, he is Lord Paragus's son."
Hm?
Paragus's son?
King Vegeta turned around, his back to his subordinates. His cape, blue on the outside and red on the inside, hung behind him, and he stood clad in battle armor. From behind, he seemed to be deep in thought.
"Go. Arrange a spaceship to send Broly into exile on a distant, desolate planet," King Vegeta said quietly to his loyal subordinate.
"Yes, sir!"
King Vegeta returned to his throne and propped his chin on one hand. "Paragus, don't blame me. I've already shown you mercy."
Meanwhile.
"Lord Paragus, congratulations! Your son was born with a power level of 10,000!"
Some of the researchers were Paragus's trusted aides. They hurried over to congratulate him.
Paragus stood frozen in place, mouth agape in disbelief.
This had to be a mistake!
"Is my Broly really that strong?"
"They've already gone to report it to King Vegeta," one of his trusted aides said.
At that, Paragus realized something was wrong. After working under King Vegeta for so many years, he knew exactly what kind of man he was: ruthless and cold-blooded, willing to do whatever it took to eliminate anyone who could threaten his position!
"Lord Paragus, this is bad! Broly is being exiled!" A Saiyan hurried over. He was one of Paragus's men!
"Damn you, King Vegeta! After all these years of loyal service, how dare you do this to me!" Paragus glared furiously. He knew the Saiyans were cold-blooded, but he hadn't expected King Vegeta to disregard their years of loyalty!
"No! I have to stop him!"
Bang!
A powerful aura burst from Paragus's body. White energy enveloped him as he shot toward the spaceship launch center.
At the launch center.
"What a shame. King Vegeta can't tolerate him!"
"If he could accept Broly, the Saiyans would have an invincible god of war!"
"Yeah, no kidding!"
The workers here were all Low-Class Warriors, and they were discussing what had happened.
By the time Broly's power level had exceeded 10,000, the news had already spread across Planet Vegeta.
Just then, a middle-aged Saiyan flew down from the sky.
He swept his gaze over the area and immediately spotted the spaceship carrying Broly.
"Lord Paragus, you can't go over there! King Vegeta won't spare us if you do!" The Low-Class Warriors tried to stop him.
Just as Paragus was about to rush over and stop the spaceship from taking off, it was already slowly rising into the sky. In an instant, it vanished from sight.
"No!" Paragus roared. He was too late.
"Tell me, which planet is Broly being exiled to?" Paragus grabbed a Low-Class Warrior beside him. His eyes blazed with fury, and his body trembled as if he still couldn't believe Broly had really been exiled.
"He... He's being sent to Planet Vampa, at the edge of the universe!" The Saiyan went pale, afraid Paragus would attack him.
"Prepare a spaceship for me at once!" Paragus snarled.
A short while later!
Whoosh!
Another spaceship lifted off from the launch center.
"I have to bring Broly back!"
Paragus's spaceship followed close behind Broly's. He knew Planet Vampa was uninhabitable, and Broly wouldn't survive there!
"Just you wait, King Vegeta. When I bring Broly back, you'll regret this!"
