Dragonball Super: Spiced-up Broccoli

Epilogue & Author's Note

Five Years Later…

A warm summer breeze blew across the field. Lemo paused from planting a fresh crop of vegetables to feel the wind caress his sweat glistened face, breathing in the fresh air. He leaned against his hoe and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his face. He spotted Broly's twin boys sparring with each other. As he paid closer attention, it looked more like a scuffle and he sighed, letting the hoe fall to the ground.

"C'mon you two, break it up. What's going on this time?" he yelled and one of the boys cracked the other with a fist that hit him square in the nose while he wasn't looking and he was knocked to the ground. The one who hit him wiped blood from his nose and sniffled a few times, glaring down at him.

"Now we're even, Bok," he said and Lemo reached out with his hand to help Bok back up. The twins had wild hair like their father, Broly, but their skin and hair color were just like their mother, Cheelai. The other twin, Choi, walked over and shoved Bok back and Lemo stepped in between the two, holding them back.

"Cut it out, you two!" Lemo barked.

"He started it!" Bok cried out.

"Stop lying!" Choi retorted and Lemo groaned.

"How the hell am I supposed to get any work done if I have to keep you two from tearing each other apart?" Lemo said and he glanced up to see Broly shadow fighting on his own in the air. Lemo grabbed the two boys by the backs of their shirts and walked them forward.

"Broly! Come down, your boys are at it again!" Lemo cried out and Broly stopped. He landed in front of his sons and his imposing figure made them look away.

"Talk," he told them.

The boys didn't say anything for a moment and Broly glared down at them even more.

"Bok stole something from mama's dresser!" Choi said, pointing a finger at his brother.

"Is that so?" Broly said, crossing his arms.

"No, I didn't! You're the one who stole mama's bracelet and I had to get it back from you!" Bok said and Broly sighed.

"Show me," he ordered and Bok slowly pulled back the sleeve of his shirt and one of Cheelai's bracelets was around his wrist.

"It's not right to take things from other people," Lemo told them.

"Why? Mama still does it," Bok said, wiping the blood that was still dripping down from his broken nose. He didn't care that his nose was broken (it wasn't the first time), and Choi tried to wrestle free from Lemo's grasp. He was about to take to the air to pull Lemo up with him but Broly stopped him with a stern glare.

"You can let them go, Lemo, I'll take it from here," Broly said and he took his sons by their arms, walking them to their house.

When they got in, Cheelai was lounging down in a chair, sleeping. Her belly had grown huge with a second pregnancy with her due date a month away. The sound of the door opening woke her up and she adjusted herself in her chair, rubbing her belly and feeling a kick coming from inside.

Broly nudged his boys forward, frowning and Cheelai stared at them, sighing.

"Not again."

"Bok stole one of your bracelets," Broly said and shoved Bok forward. He gave Cheelai her bracelet back and he looked down at the floor.

"Sorry mama," he said.

"Go clean yourselves up and stay in your room until Lemo gets dinner ready," Broly commanded and the boys ran off to the bathroom. He knelt down on one knee and placed his hands on Cheelai's belly. He felt a couple of kicks underneath his hand and he smiled a bit.

"She's going to be a feisty one, that's for sure. She kicked a lot more often than they did," she said.

"Have you thought of a name for her? I was thinking of going with Arugula," Broly said.

Another kick and Cheelai winced a bit. "Dunno if that was her liking the name or hating it."

Broly let her name the boys since she felt that Saiyan names would be appropriate. But for this one, she drew a blank and figured Broly would have something clever. When she heard the name Arugula, she laughed a bit in her head, realizing that it's another Saiyan name but she realized she probably would've gone with something silly instead. She repeated the name a few more times in her head and she liked the sound of it even more. She glanced down at Broly's face and she frowned. The way the boys looked made him upset and she had a feeling why.

Broly looked up at her and sighed.

"They are still copying your bad habits," he said and Cheelai leaned on her elbow, covering her face in embarrassment.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry. I stole one of Lemo's kitchen knives to cut something because I couldn't find the damn scissors and I realized I did it without thinking twice. I hastily put it back because I felt like shit for doing it. I'm trying, Broly, I really am. I hate that my boys are picking up this bad habit and I don't want them to grow up this way, but it's so hard," she continued but tears streamed down her face as she was speaking and Broly put his fingers to her mouth. He wrapped his arms around her and she sobbed a couple of times into his chest. Her emotions had been running wild throughout this pregnancy and it became a chore for her to control them, occasionally having a meltdown during a petty argument with Lemo or yelling too loudly when scolding her boys for something insignificant. Broly held onto her until she was calm again and she wiped her face, grabbing a few tissues from a box beside her.

"Thank you, I've been needing that," she said, laughing a bit. Broly wiped as much as he could off her face with his fingers and she stared at him.

"You've been an amazing dad, Broly. I wouldn't know what to do with those two without you. We're still figuring this out but I feel we're doing alright. What's Lemo up to?"

"Tending the crops," Broly told her and she groaned as she slowly got to her feet, the added weight of this coming baby making it difficult for her to move around liberally. She slowly walked to the door, dismissing any help from Broly and she saw that there was another individual talking to Lemo and they both shared a laugh.

"Is that…Goku?" she said and Broly glanced at her. She looked more closely and she recognized his hairstyle immediately. Broly walked over to the door and he smiled as he saw Goku as well. She patted his arm and nudged him forward.

"I'll keep an eye on the boys, make sure they're not getting into trouble again," she said and made her way over to their room. Broly floated above ground and flew the short distance to meet him. He noticed that Goku was wearing a different colored gi than before, all blue without an undershirt and unique looking boots. Goku waved at him.

"Yo, Broly! Glad to see you again!" Goku yelled and Broly smiled.

"It is good to see you again, Kakarrot," Broly said.

"It's been too long. I wasn't sure you were ever going to visit us," Lemo said and Goku chuckled.

"Sorry! I've been busy training a new kid. He's the reincarnation of Majin Buu and he still has the same strength he once had when he was evil, so I gotta teach him to bring out that power once more and fight as a good guy now."

Lemo and Broly looked at each other, confused.

"Majin Buu? That large pink guy who's always eating?" Lemo asked. He vaguely remembered Buu, but what stood out was how much food that bubble-gum colored fellow packed away in his mouth. Lemo eventually had to tell his friend Mr. Satan that he wasn't going to continue making food as he had other things he needed to work on and Buu pouted, throwing a small tantrum which forced Mr. Satan to calm him down.

"Oh no, not that one. This Buu was different," Goku assured him. "He was far stronger and way eviller than the Majin Buu we know right now. It took a while but when we finally beat him, I asked King Yemma to reincarnate him as a good person. I met that kid at the World Martial Arts Tournament and I knew he needed training so he could be strong. That way I could get to fight him properly again."

"Let me get this straight. You want to train up some kid just so you can fight him? You didn't hit yourself in the head, did you?" Lemo said, eyeing him suspiciously.

"No, it's not like that. I know how strong this kid is and if I train him properly, he could even grow to be as strong as Lord Beerus if he puts all his effort into it," Goku said and Lemo's eyes widened. Broly coughed to get Goku's attention.

"Did you come here to spar with me?" Broly asked and Goku closed his eyes, grinning. He laughed a bit, resting his hands behind his head and Broly sighed, smiling.

"I gotta find some way to keep my strength at its peak. If all I did was train Uub (that's his name by the way), then I wouldn't be able to keep up with you or Vegeta."

"I've got two boys now who I know will be very strong when they're older and I have a daughter on the way. She'll probably inherit her mother's feistiness," Broly said and Goku's face lit up in excitement.

"Woah! You're a daddy?! That's amazin'!" Goku exclaimed and Broly cleared his throat.

"We shouldn't waste time talking, I'm afraid. I can't leave Cheelai alone with them for too long since she needs as much rest as she can before our daughter is born."

Lemo waved his hand in front of Broly, smiling. "Don't worry about that, big guy. I'll make sure she's alright. You two take as much time as you need to spar or fight, just don't destroy my crops while doing it."

"Thank you, Lemo," Broly said and he took up a fighting stance. Lemo sewed together a fighting gi for Broly that felt loose and mobile on him, and the wind made it ripple against his skin a bit. Goku took up a fighting stance himself and smiled.

"I hope I don't have to transform this time," Goku said and Broly smirked, closing his eyes. When he opened them, Goku could see that they were yellow and a green aura flared around Broly as he was ready to start. Goku smiled and the two flew at each other, connecting and blocking each other with their forearms as their fight began.

Author's note…

And thus concludes this story.

First off, huge shout outs to NALA1588 and FunsexyDB on Twitter for their amazing artwork of Broly and Cheelai, both SFW and NSFW, which inspired this fanfic to begin with. Give them all the follows, likes, retweets, support, and love for their artwork. They're very talented artists and they love Dragonball a lot.

Now that this story is finished, I can polish it up and correct a few things. Some scenes obviously, a few plot elements that reflect more of the movie after repeated viewings, that sort of thing.

But once that's taken care of, I can get back to work on Ascension, Part 1 (and eventually part 2) and really get that story going since that's my bigger project that I hope to see completed before the end of 2019. I haven't decided if I'm going to tie in Ascension with this story or not based on the content of the story overall. Spiced-up Broccoli might just be a one-off and the involvement of Broly, Lemo, and Cheelai in Ascension could be different. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, lol.

Thank you to those who've followed this story and for all the feedback, I'm happy that there are quite a lot that have been receptive to the idea of Broly and Cheelai getting together and keeping me motivated to flesh out these characters a bit more, even though this was more my interpretation than what we'll actually get. We'll see how Toriyama-sama writes these characters when Super comes back and whether the Broly movie will be adapted to a televised format.

And go check out the latest Dragonball Super manga chapters, I'm really stoked at how Toriyama and Toyotaro have been crafting this arc with a new villain. Any new developments in Dragonball are giving me tons of ideas I want to work into a fanfiction and this will be an exciting year for me writing-wise.

Take care, everyone.
