The first thing I felt when my consciousness returned, is a feeling of being submerged in water. No, it's similar but different. Richer and substantial. I open my eyes slowly and what greets me is some kind of green liquid. I know a baby shouldn't have the ability to see the first time they open their eyes soon after they were born, but Saiyan baby gonna Saiyan I suppose.
There is no time to be wasted looking around the futuristic tech around me, the first order of business is to teach myself a way to lower my power level to an acceptable amount. I have about a week or so before they brought me to the same room as Vegeta. Hopefully, with my FIRST IMPRESSION Perk, King Vegeta would give leniency for my cute butt.
'The tale of my legend begins today'

I felt powerless when I saw Frieza's ship flies away to outer space. I can't believe the proud Saiyan race was reduced to a mercenary brigand that grovels at the feet of other beings. The deal has been made, and the Saiyan race officially join the Galactic Empire. I can feel the scouter crack after I clench it too hard.
'No, this is the result of my powerlessness. I can only pray for future generations to make things right again.'
I start to walk towards the birthing chamber scientist, eager to heal my pride when I can finally see my son.
"Take me to the birthing chamber"
"Yes, Your Majesty" Nod the scientist.
After a few minutes of a brisk walk, we finally arrive. Row upon row of a birthing tank can be seen, and in the middle of it stood higher than anyone else.
"Ho ho ho ho ho, he's growing bigger and stronger with every day. My son, my pride and joy. The latent battle power within you is astonishing. It is you that will rule the universe. That monster Frieza thinks the Saiyan will serve him without question, but he'll fall to US!"
I can feel a grin start to show on my face as I inch closer and place a palm on my son's birthing tank.
"I look forward to watching you grow into a vicious king"
With that, I turn back and step down into the lower level of the birthing chamber. But then I recognize another baby in the very room of my son. I look into him while raising my eyebrow. I should have felt anger for the impertinence of putting another baby in the same room as my son. After all, this birthing chamber is specially made to nurture a baby Saiyan with the most latent power. There is no way any baby can come close to my son's power.
"What is this? Why is there another baby in this room Doctor? From my understanding, this room is supposed to nurture the best Saiyan" I ask calmly, surprising myself.
"Ah, yes Your Majesty. It seems young Broly here has the same latent power as your son. Young Broly has a little bit higher power level than your son even"
"Indeed? And how much is both power level currently?" Intrigued instead of anger is lacing my question.
"Yes Your Majesty. Prince Vegeta currently has an astounding power level of 1500 and young Broly have the power level of 2000" he answers succinctly.
Widening my eyes at the unprecedented power level of both, pride swelled in my heart even when hearing someone else's son have a higher power level than my own.
'Maybe, I don't need to make my son bear the burden of responsibility of elevating our race toward greatness. Maybe he can share his burden with Broly, this way our difficult quest for revenge against that monster Frieza could be reduced'
"If I may Your Majesty"
I turn around and face another scientist to my right and nod.
"Ahem, I would like to propose an experiment of a sort"
"An experiment? Of what?" I ask while raising my eyebrow.
"There is a statistical precedent that has shown us that our fellow Saiyan grow stronger faster when there is a rivalry between them. As we all know Saiyan race grows stronger after a near-death experience following an intense battle, better known as Zenkai"
I nodded my head, silently agreed with him, and urge him to continue.
"Well, if we want Prince Vegeta to grow stronger faster, we can make a safe environment where he can do battle against his rival, in this case, young Broly, and induce a controlled Zenkai for both of them. Without young Broly to give Prince Vegeta 'Adversary', at some point Prince Vegeta's power level would be higher than any of us, thus also making him stagnate and we certainly don't want that for our Prince"
"You are right Doctor. Yes, I can see the benefit of this experiment of yours, my Prodigious son certainly needs an aide that can stand beside him if he wants to be the greatest King of All Saiyan"
Without any fanfare, I turn around and give the command to the doctor.
"Make it so Doctor Pine"
"Very good Your Majesty" Doctor Pine answered and I can see his shadow bowing towards me.
With a smile on my face and the giddiness, I felt in my heart, there is only one thought running through my mind.
'Soon, you will meet your maker Frieza'
๐๐๐ ๐๐
'Pheewwww, crisis averted'
Looking at the back of the King and the scientist, I felt glad. After training nearly every waking hour of my new life I finally can taste freedom. Even though now I have to become Vegeta's 'rival' or more like play mate, I can only think of the benefit granted to me by King Vegeta. I need all the training in the world if I want to live past 5 years old when shit hit the fan.
Now that I have started my journey anew, I can try teaching myself a KI technique or even a Magic technique that didn't need my body to be performed. If I remember correctly, I read that Saiyan can learn magic. They don't use it because no one teaches them. Thankfully with my PREP-TIME perk, I can teach myself any skills that I desire as long as I can conceptualize them.
'It will take about 3 years before Vegeta and I are released from the birthing tank. In the meantime, I will master my KI control and my Magic shit.'
๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ข๐จ๐ถ๐ด
I receive a congratulatory message from my com. The sender is Doctor Pine, the scientist that taking care of my son Broly, telling me his birthing is successful and in the meantime, he's inside the specially made birthing chamber, used by the royal family or the Saiyan baby with the highest latent power. Even though I'm an Elite Saiyan, I know I'm not a Royal, so it can only mean my son's latent power is so high, that it is equal to or higher than Prince Vegeta himself.
If the message makes me smile ear to ear, the second message, again from Doctor Pine, makes me grin like a loon. It even manages to make my cheek hurt.

'Broly, you've just born a couple of weeks ago and you already make me proud'
After resolving my joyous mood, I prepare myself to meet King Vegeta. Can't make the King wait for any second longer after all. Even though the acceptance ceremony is a mere pretense, I would not even think about declining this honor if given the choice. With that, I take off from my home and fly in the direction of Royal Palace.
