Broly of Equestria
New and Old Friends
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt had been well over an hour since my 'revival' and I now found myself in the castle dinning room chowing down like there was no tomorrow. After all, over a thousand years of an unquenched saiyan appetite is nothing to scoff at. That is why for the past hour I have been putting the kitchen staff on overtime to keep up with my demand for food. So far I've eaten everything but the kitchen sink and was barely half way full!
Meanwhile Celestia, Cadence and a few guards were just standing by. The guards were in various states of shock and/or disgust, Cadence looked to be in awe at how much I was able to eat and Celestia was calmly sipping some tea as she had long since grown used to my eating habits. Her and her sister had tried, emphasis on tried, to teach me 'proper table etiquette' only to fail spectacularly. So overtime they had just learned to accept it, which I am thankful that she hadn't forgotten. In fact Celestia hadn't changed one bit since the last time I saw her, which was when she and Luna had me encased in stone.
Just the mere inkling of that memory brought untold rage and made my saiyan blood boil to make them pay for their betrayal. I squashed such thoughts down into the deepest parts of my mind however, as I had already sworn to not let my anger control me again. Being a man, or in this case saiyan, of my word was very important to me.
It was another hour later that I sat with a full stomach and four stacks of plates nearly reaching the ceiling. While the various kitchen staff started to take the plates away to be washed, along with complaining about my pit of a stomach, Celestia had decided to speak up. I was beginning to wonder when she would address the elephant in the room.
"Broly while it is good to have you back I must ask, are you well?" she asked as she stared intensely into my eyes.
While the others around us were confused at the simple question I understood perfectly what she meant. What she was really asking was if I was going to go insane again. Despite keeping myself in check so far I knew my sanity was on a thin thread and that one wrong move, or even a second of weakness and I would go back to the crazed killer I had been over a millennia ago. Taking a few moments to think of my answer I finally looked at Celestia and answered with complete honesty.
"Truthfully, I am not a hundred percent sure Celestia. However with some time, effort and a lot of help I will be." I said with a smile at the end. Celestia just stared at me for a few more moments before she let a smile of her own form.
"That's good to hear old friend. Now onto other matters. For one, what do you plan on doing since war has not been a problem for a very longtime, so your previous profession is not really needed at the moment." stated Celestia.
Just as I was starting to think of what I could possibly do the doors to the room were opened and a very familiar filly ran into the room. Said filly had purple colored fur with a straight darker purple mane and tail with a hot pink streak through it. She was about five feet tall from what I could guess, and she was dressed in a dark purple jacket over a white blouse and a short white skirt. This filly could be none other than Twilight Sparkle.
"Princess! I finished that assignment you ga-" she began until she saw me and froze with her mouth open.
The two of us just continued to stare at each-other for the next minute as I didn't know what to say and she was apparently in a state of shock. Just as I was about to ask if she was alright she disappeared in a purple blur. Then suddenly she was in my lap with her eyes looking up into mine with childish awe and wonder.
"Your the Legendary Warrior Broly!" she exclaimed making me sweatdrop at the rather blunt statement.
"Uh yeah that's me. And you are?" I asked despite already knowing who she was. The one thing I had done right during my time in Equestria was not tell Celestia or Luna my knowledge of the future. My mere presence already screwed up enough things with the timeline if I had to guess so no need to screw it up even more.
"My name is Twilight Sparkle and I'm Princess Celestia's student!" she exclaimed proudly making me smile at her childish antics.
"Well Miss Sparkle how old are you?" I asked so I could maybe get a grasp on what the timeline may be.
"I'm thirteen years old mister. Broly and don't call me Miss my name is Twilight!" she exclaimed with a pout that made me chuckle as I couldn't help but ruffle her mane a bit.
"Alright but only if you call me Broly, none of that 'mister' stuff, deal?"
"Deal! But if I may ask Broly, how old are you?" she asked innocently and the question itself stumped me. Out of the corner of my eye I could see the other ponies looking on with just as much interest.
I myself had no idea what my age was, due to the fact I was in Broly's adult body and was trapped for over a thousand years. Hell not even Celestia or Luna had asked such a simple question. Still I needed to answer her so I decided to say the age I was when I was first sent to Equestria.
"Well technically I am eighteen. I don't really count my time in stone." I said which made her look at me in happiness.
"Your just as old as Shiny and Cadence! Are all the stories about you true!? Did you really win the war against the Griffon's and Minotaur's singlehandedly!? Did yo-mph!" she started to say before I cut her off with a hand over her mouth.
"Slow down there kiddo, I don't even know what stories are told about me to begin with!" I said with a quick glance at Celestia making her blush a little bit in embarrassment. By god what stories did she tell about me!?
"Oh yeah I guess you wouldn't know being trapped in stone and all. But why were you trapped in stone, and will you be my friend?" she asked suddenly a bit shy.
"Well for your first question, that is too long to explain so maybe some other time. To answer your second question, yes I will be happy to be your friend." I answered. Her gaze turned sad when I didn't tell her the reason for my imprisonment, however she lit up like a firework when I said I would be her friend. She instantly wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me tightly while yelling, 'yes, yes, yes, yes,' repeatedly. She pulled away a minute or so later.
"Do you want to help me and Spike I the library Broly! We can even read one of the stories about you if you want." she asked eagerly and I couldn't resist the cuteness.
"Sure thing Twilight but I got something's to discuss with Celestia first. So I'll meet you there okay?" I said and she nodded happily before running off presumably towards the library.
As soon as Twilight was out of sight however my smile dropped and I turned to look at Celestia and Cadence. There were no more guards so I assumed she had sent them off once Twilight had arrived. I could see the sad smiles they were sporting as they stared at the spot Twilight had been. When they noticed me looking at them though they both sighed heavily, both already knew what I was going to ask.
"My student has very few friends, especially with her new status as my student. In fact I think she is even more alienated than ever because of it." said Celestia while Cadence turned her head away angrily.
"Oh please Auntie those brats are just jealous that their not in her position. I know you've heard all the rude things they say about her behind her back. Do you know that the guards have actually had to break up a few altercations when the students tried to get physical with her!" declared Cadence.
"Yes I've heard of those incidents. Not to mention that the guards have caught multiple intruders that were apparently ont heir way to Twilight's chambers. Seems my enemies are trying to get to me through her." said Celestia sadly.
As more and more things like this were being said I could feel my anger rise. I didn't give a damn who these bastards thought they were but I would not tolerate it! Twilight was one of my most favorite characters from the show and I would be damned if I let her get hurt when I had the power to stop it. So before Celestia or Cadence could continue I suddenly stood up startling the two of them.
"Broly what are yo-" began Celestia until I cut her off.
"You asked me what I planned to do now that I'm back Celestia? Well now I know, I want to be Twilight's personal guard." I said seriously surprising both princesses.
"What? But Broly why would you want to do something like that? Granted I know how defensive you are of those close to you but you've just met Twilight." pointed out Celestia.
"You act like that should matter? I want to be her bodyguard because I am the most qualified for the job. From what I see my reputation is still as feared as it was back during the wars so that should discourage any kidnappers right there. Second is that no little shits are gonna try to pick on her when I'm around, and finally I need to get caught up with the times and if Twilight is even half as smart as I think she is then she can help me immensely." I pointed out and watched as Celestia adopted a thinking pose to think over my reasons. Eventually she gave a resigned sigh before smiling at me happily.
"I can't argue with your reasons Broly. So I officially name you Twilight Sparkle's personal bodyguard. The guards and public will be informed of your new station and just to keep you entertained whenever your not guarding Twilight I'll have a training ground built just for your use." she said with a smirk at the end. I had to admit that the mare knew me and my love for training. Plus this would help keep my battle urges in check for now.
"Well now that that's settled I'll be on my way. But can one of you point me in the direction of the library?" I asked sheepishly making both mares sweatdrop before Cadence spoke up.
"I'll lead you there. Can't have Twily's new friend getting lost now can we?" she asked teasingly as I rolled my eyes. Still I followed her to the library to meet Twilight, and to start my life once more. Hopefully I can make this work without ending up in stone again.
