After a long discussion both Maria and Gohan had agreed not to fight and save it for later, however the young girl was itching to punch someone and that was very clear to Gohan. Knowing that he was behind on collecting the dragon balls he tried to think of what to do, but just as quickly as he questioned himself he came up with the answer.

"Hey! I have an idea! Maybe we could work together and collect the dragon balls, since you're so eager to fight maybe if we get into trouble you could fight off the soldiers or whatever! Does that sound ok to you?" Gohan asked with the other saiyan peering at him, the instant he said fight he would have sworn her eyes flickered green for a second. A giant smile curved on her face before she got all excited flaring her ki in the process, the amount released blew Gohan back a bit and caused the water below to tide below her.

"That sounds perfect! I love that idea! But what are we looking for? I don't know what these dragon balls are?" She asked, Gohan digging into his pocket showed her a picture of him, his father and grandmother. Pointing directly at the ball on his hat she quickly understood what he was getting at, but didn't understand completely due to never seeing such a thing. "Oh, so that's one. How many are there?"

"There's seven of them, my dad and Piccolo are gathering two others that we saw on the radar. I was supposed to get one, but the namek won't let me in due to the elder needing protection." Gohan said as he glanced at the building not too far away, Maria also looking in that direction glared at the tall namek before slowly flying towards him. Gohan following with her felt warning with this girl, her energy from first feeling seemed unstable and very powerful.

Upon landing before the namek Gohan was sure he would refuse their entry again, but before he could ask the girl with him marched past him and glared at him.

"Alright green man! You listen to my every word! We need to get in there and get that dragon ball, so I advise you let us in or I'll gladly separate your head from your shoulders!" Maria said bluntly, the namek looked down at her and was about to speak. But before he could utter a word grunting was heard inside.

"Nail.... I can sense the threat on our planet.... These two are of no threat to me, let the children through...." A groggy voice said inside the structure, the namek sighed before he stepped aside and opened the door for the two. With Dende following them in the two saiyan children looked upon a giant bloated namek, taking a deep breathe the namek gestured the two to get closer. "Children of another world, I appreciate you saving young Dende from the invaders.... And I heard from outside you are searching for the dragon balls, but I must know why you require them...."

Maria looked over to Gohan for an answer since she was clueless on why anyone was here, she just wanted to punch someone and that was basically it. Gohan walked past her and took a deep breath.

"We need to get the dragon balls to prevent Frieza from getting immortality, I'm not that filled in on what's going on but from what I can understand he needs to be stopped!" Gohan said while emphasizing with his fist in his hand, the old namek sat there quietly before reaching up and getting the giant ball off the top of his chair. Maria grabbing the orb looked up to see his hand facing both, with bated breaths he smiled and gestured them to his sides.

"I believe you children to do the right thing.... Stand beside me younglings, to serve as encouragement I will unleash some of your inner potential...." Both looked to each other and shrugged, going under the namekian's hands both began to feel this magical energy flow through them. However, Maria was quickly overwhelmed by the boost in power as her energy almost knocked the chair over, Gohan quickly looking over to the other side he saw the girl's eyes glowing bright green along with her veins.

After finishing the boost and being excused Gohan flew beside his female companion concerned, he could clearly tell the boost worked on her considering the amount of energy she was emitting. As the two were heading back to Bulma to hide the orb Vegeta flew through the atmosphere trying to see if he could find one of these balls for himself, but much to his luck he had found none so far.

"I have no idea on how I'm supposed to find these things, that Chondria thing wasn't clear on what to do!" Vegeta grumbled to himself before spotting a green light coming right towards him, moving out of the way slightly he hopped to just pass by the creature. But the moment they passed a sense of dread was felt as the world slowed, a long haired man passed by with an evil smile on his face.

Stopping immediately afterwards Vegeta was completely frozen, the feeling of dread faded as the figure vanished into the distance. But after feeling such malice it could never leave his mind, he was clearly a saiyan but none had that effect on him.

"W-Who was that guy?! Is he the one who that thing was talking about?!" Vegeta asked himself as he watched as the green aura disappeared, as he flew there Broly in the distance was following an energy signal that just urged him to challenge! Goku was oblivious to the fact that he was being followed, by the time he got back to Bulma Broly was not far behind. Goku landed and placed his ball with the others, having three so far they already had a lead over Frieza.

"Well! Four more to go! Piccolo, what does the radar say now?" Goku asked as he looked to his rival, however Piccolo was looking behind him. Hearing metal land behind them Goku swerved around to face the newcomer, Broly grinned as he clenched his fists and increased his ki. His eyes bloodshot as madness started to form in his mind, how many ways he could kill the small disobedient saiyan.

"Finally! I have found you Kakarot! We can finally settle this, and then I will kill you!" Broly said as he prepared to fight, but what threw him off was that his opponent was looking at him confused.

"I would be up to fight you buddy, but I have zero idea who you are? Plus I have more important things to do, so if you wouldn't mind I need to get the dragon balls and stop Frieza." Goku said calmly before a blur of pink rushed up to the taller saiyan, already knowing who it was Broly groaned in annoyance as Maria hugged his leg.

"Right when I'm about to brutally murder someone you just have to get in my way! Can't you see your father is busy?" Broly yelled as he knocked the small saiyan off him, Maria's expression turned glum in rejection before walking away and sitting down against the caves outside layer. Goku seeing this glared at Broly with disapproval, certainly he wasn't the best parent either but he tried his best and never scolded Gohan.

"Hey! That was completely uncalled for! Your daughter was just excited to see you, she should be your main priority here since Frieza's trying to get immortality!" Goku said in Maria's defense, but the taller saiyan groaned and clenched his fist.

"I don't care about her excitement! All I care about is having fun, which should be the same for you Kakarot! Destroying planets, making lesser creatures suffer agony before killing them, and other things that are very entertaining!" Broly said in a stern tone expecting Goku to agree, but it made him livid as Goku gagged at the subject.

"Ugh.... How is any of that fun?! You got to be a sick person to enjoy that stuff!" The two would continue arguing for what seemed like hours, eventually both stopped when Goku took a deep breath and put a finger up.

"Ok, here's the deal Broly. Much like you I want to fight as well, but I have more important things to worry about. If we don't stop Frieza he'll kill all of us, so we need to get the rest of the dragon balls. If you would like to help, then we'll be able to fight sooner. Sound like a deal?" Goku said with Broly looking away, a scowl spread across his face as he couldn't believe himself.

"Fine! I'll help you pathetic weaklings, since comparing power levels you all wouldn't stand a chance against anyone here!" Broly said as he crossed his arms, "Child! You're coming with me! I don't want you near such insignificant trash!" Maria hearing her father's orders stood up and zipped to his side, her eyes showed hope that he would notice her power increase.

The two after being directed by Piccolo on where the next set of balls were took off in blurs of green light, as they vanished over the horizon Maja landed on the island and smiled upon seeing everyone still alive. Only hearing about them in her timeline she was relieved that they were here, the group turned to look at her as soon as her heels touched the ground.

"Hey! Are you that little girl's mother?! She just left with Broly to get the dragon balls!" Goku said as she approached them, he noticed her different eyes and felt an ominous energy leaking off her.

"You cannot imagine how relieved I am that all of you are alive, in my timeline you all were killed and I've only heard stories! But it is great to see you all!" Maja replied as she stopped and bowed her head to them, "My name is Maja.... I come from 50 years in the future.... But before you ask for future advice, there is little I can tell due to being asleep through most of it...."

Goku put his hand away as he was just about to ask something, but looking into the distance he had a itching feeling. "Hey Maja, do you think I should go follow your husband? I feel like he'll need my help." Goku asked, surely Broly had threatened to kill him but it wouldn't be the first time he was told he was going to die.

Maja looked over at Goku and sighed, gesturing him to shoo off Goku took flight and followed Broly's energy. With Broly and Maria far ahead the two passed by Frieza's ship, and with both of their energy the scouters inside went on the fritz. Frieza surveying the outside noticed the two green blurs passing by, feeling as they were looking for the dragon balls a smirk spread across his face as he pressed a button beside him.

"Zarbon.... Dodoria.... Come here...." Frieza said calmly, almost instantly a cyan and pink alien duo opened the door and bowed their heads.

"Reporting in Lord Frieza! What services do you require?!" Both said with Frieza turning around and pointing into the distance.

"I feel those saiyans are searching for the dragon balls, I'm sending you both to kill them! I'm also going to send a request for the Ginyu Force, just in case something happens." Frieza said as he returned to his chair, both looked to each other confidently and went to follow the saiyans. Broly and Maria after a while eventually found one of the spheres, Maria went to pick it up to try and show how strong she was but looking back Broly was looking the other direction.

"Daddy? Is everything ok?" She asked as she went up to him, seeing his eyes narrowed he was clearly seeing something she wasn't.

"I can feel it.... We're being followed.... Get out of here! I have no need for your assistance!" He said as a creepy smile formed, Maria putting the dragon ball down crossed her arms and scoffed like him.

"Maybe if you'd let me help you could see more of my strength! I didn't get the stupid nameks power boost for nothing! I'm trying to impress you!" She yelled out before he grabbed her by the throat and brought her to his face, his eyes flickering red as he scowled at her.

"You might have that power!! But you don't know SHIT about using it!! You wait for permission, when a true saiyan warrior fights whenever they desire!! What do you desire child?! The thrill of battle?! Or the acknowledgment of me?!" Broly said sternly, he wasn't choking her as much as he wanted to. But something was preventing him from doing so.

"Whenever I wanted to kill or destroy, I did as I pleased without a worry of what others thought of me!! The only time I didn't was when I had that damned crown on my head!! But with it off, I am free to slaughter as many worthless beings as I desire!! I see no crown on your head, so tell me why are you asking to kill someone!!"

Both Dodoria and Zarbon heard the father yelling at his daughter, upon approach Broly stopped and glared at them. Throwing Maria away he was not in a good mood, rubbing her neck and feeling upset the little girl picked up the ball and flew off.

"HEY!! SHE'S GETTING AWAY WITH THE DRAGON BALL!!" Dodoria yelled before Zarbon stopped him from giving chase, Broly flew up to equal eye level of the two and shook his head. A smile creeped across his face as his energy exploded around him, chuckling to himself he caught both their attention as he waved at them teasingly.

"Why go after the little runt when you have the strongest of the saiyans right here?! I know a lot about how Frieza's stupid little system works, so if you think about it. If you two kill me, then you'll go up in rank! Unless you both are content at being Frieza's suckers!" Broly said with both glaring at him, turning on their scouters the instant they turned on they exploded in a instant.

"Dodoria, here's the plan.... We both go at him at once and give him everything, then when he's weakened, I'll turn and squash him!" Zarbon whispered into Dodoria's ear, Broly chuckled as the two charged at him but before they could even land their lariat he ducked underneath with his arms crossed.

Turning around he gestured them towards him with a cocky grin on his face, both going in different directions began barraging him with punches and kicks which he didn't fight against. But what started creeping them out was the fact that this saiyan wasn't screaming in agony, but instead was laughing more and more as each blow landed.

Eventually Dodoria got tired of the laughing and charged at Broly head first, ramming into the saiyan sent him flying off and impacting one of the hills. But even when he was spitting out blood and bleeding he still laughed, clenching his fists the crater he laid in exploded as his energy ruptured out of his body. Flying up again Broly chuckled before he licked the blood from his mouth, his wounds healed almost instantly and his eyes began to turn bloodshot.

Both aliens looked at each other concerned before Zarbon begun his transformation, bulking out with his head becoming lumpy he was expecting Broly to panic. But all the saiyan did was yawn and close his eyes.

"So, you can transform.... I would transform as well, but I don't think you two deserve it.... I can kill you both in base form, now then.... Let's see how hard I can make you both laugh!" Broly said before he charged at Dodoria with a green orb forming in his hand, chuckling to himself he upon approach point blank fired the ball right into the alien's stomach.

Feeling great pain Dodoria fell to the ground and coughed up blood, in his mind he wondered how such a simple move would be his undoing. But as Broly watched the alien bleed out Zarbon was on the approach and ready to crush Broly's head, but someone else was on approach with a blinding blue light with him.

"KAAA.... MEEE.... HAAA.... MEEE...." All three of them heard the chanting as the blue light got bigger, Broly grimaced as he knew that his rival had come to "help" him. But figuring that if Kakarot was so eager to kill someone, maybe they weren't that different when it came to their mindsets.

Goku had his eyes directly at Zarbon with Broly hiding behind the bulky alien, not knowing that Goku grinned as his attack was reaching it's appropriate charge. Throwing his hands forward Goku screamed the final word with the blue beam launching from his hands, consuming Zarbon in its light he had thought he killed him by the end of it. But as the smoke cleared all Zarbon got was a few burns, but then a fist was shoved through the alien with Zarbon gargling. Retracting his hand both saiyans watched as Zarbon plummeted into the ocean below, if not by bleeding to death he would surely drown.

Landing on the ground without saying a word Broly proceeded to wash the blood off his arm and gauntlet, although he had a twisted mind he hated how sticky blood was. Landing behind him Goku walked up to the saiyan and sat down.

"Nice job there Broly, although I feel bad that he's going to drown.... But hey I've killed before, it's not easy and I didn't want to but you know...." Goku said trying to start a conversation, however all he got was a grunt and Broly sitting by the water. "Look.... I know you want to kill me, but I just don't understand why. At least give me a clue or something at what I did, because I can't remember seeing you before."

".... You didn't do anything.... We were born on the same day dumbass...." Broly grunted back after a few minutes of silence, "Children born on the same day have instinctual hatred for the other, from what I can understand at least.... You might not remember but somewhere inside is the instinct to kill me, and that same instinct is present in me as well...." Goku hearing this looked behind him at the long haired saiyan, he did feel some form of instinct but it was more of punching than killing.

"I mean I just want to fight you, like a sparring match or something. I don't want to kill you, I don't want to kill anyone unless I have a reason to!" Goku said with a smile on his face, Broly then stood up and scoffed.

"That will be your undoing Kakarot.... Your kindness will be the death of you and everyone else you care about, and go ahead and don't believe me.... But eventually you'll understand, why do you think I kill everyone that opposes me?... Now, are you going to keep talking, or are we going to collect the rest of these stupid balls?" Broly asked with his back turned, Goku also standing up didn't say a word and took off back to their hideout.
