Unveiling the Future (A DBZ Watching the Show Story)

Broly

The reaction was instantaneous, yet no less expected.

Despite how the Saiyans were stunned and frozen by their commander and seemingly their past, the hooded figure moved to motion to the viewing screen. "Well, shall we move on? I do believe that we have the rest of the... viewing... to get through."

The hooded figure barely had time as immediately, the elite's power levels raised at the tone. He was thrown off his feet with a kiai blast from the female elite who had finally lost her own temper, unable to maintain her self control in her equilibrium. The force of the ki blast did not harm, only burning through the sleeves of his robes as he raised it to block the energy blast that slammed him into the wall, creating deep gouges. A ki blade formed from her wrists were aimed with surgical precision at his neck, the tip of it glowing with flares of a brilliant orange that was scant away from his vocal chords. Despite the violent, sudden reaction from the Saiyans, he still merely only stared amusedly at the elite, then turning his attention to the others of the warrior race who looked ready to fight.

"My, my... If I had known such a past event would have been such a traumatic experience, I would have skipped it altogether."

The ki blade of the owner was ready to sink it into his neck and King Vegeta from behind, alongside the group of elites, their arms raised to blast him, while the King himself was torn between addressing the stranger who had knowledge of the past of what had just occurred. All the instincts of battle and as conquerors made them wary as the figure knew of the past.

"My King..." Kohlrabi was ready to sink her blade into his neck, her gaze turning to her King before it burned back onto the hooded figure. "I will eliminate him now."

King Vegeta did not let anything surprise him. His own pride and experience in the field of battle, ever since they took over the control of the planet of their home that once belonged to the Tuffles, the Saiyan King could not stop himself from freezing in place.

As he gazed at the man, he knew that this hooded figure knew far too much. He knew far too much for his own good. What else could he possibly know that was dangerous to them all?

It led to perhaps another thought. Above all, he desired the future that this stranger supposedly spoke of. A future in which their race would be extinguished and their culture and history and all they strived for would be forever gone.

Perhaps it was a mistake. Perhaps this stranger knew far too much, even of the past. All signs indicated he should destroy this man now, or imprison him to gather the information out of him before disposing of him.

Yet he could not, and he knew it and the rest of his brethren knew it.

It was the reason why the hooded man did not even respond to the threat posed by one of his Queen's elites. There was no danger presented to him, for even as they could not accurately detect his level of power with their scouters, this individual had abilities and knowledge that, should they eliminate him, would be lost forever. It was the reason they could not eliminate him now.

"Release him, Kohlrabi."

"Sire..." Kohlrabi glanced at her King in disbelief.

"Release him."

For the first time, the Elites heard their King sound... accepted. As if there was truly no option presented other than to continue on and see what had been presented.

Kohlrabi looked back at the hooded man in her grasp, and after a long second of reluctant deliberation, released her grip and extinguished her ki blade, only able to glare at the individual who knew far too much.

The hooded man brushed himself off, smiling at the group. "Of course... The past is as important as the future, and as such, it's almost the entire reason why I showed you Frieza taking the reign and control of the formerly Cold Force. You have to understand the past as much as the future to make a decision that benefits you all." He crossed his arms. "That of course, means every decision you make... every action you take... even if it's for the benefit of your race..." He looked at King Vegeta, then to the race.
