AN: here we go again. Just an idea I had.
Fyi, will be going around the end of Z for when this starts. Cool? Cool.

Waking up I knew something was different. Off. Rubbing my head I began to sit up and confirm my suspicions that something had drastically changed.
My hearing begins coming back and I hear the slow breathing of someone to my right. Looking over all my suspicions are brought to light. Because standing before me is a man I can only describe as a saiyan… though I don't know exactly who he is.
While I'd seen my fair share of dragon ball it was never a true deep dive like I'd done with other anime such as naruto. Forgive me, but I find it a bit more grounded. At least before the Boruto stuff started.
Back to the clearly powerful being beside me, he was sitting in a lotus position floating. His body, what I could see of it, had scars. The most prominent one was above his right eye.
The man opened his eyes and they locked onto mine. Instantly I felt like I was looking into an abyss of power. Something I haven't ever felt. His voice resonates when he speaks.
"You've awoken. Good. I've waited for a long time, it's time….Broly."
I was good with everything he said until my name. Broly. I knew that name. An uncontrollable killing machine that took both Goku and Vegeta to beat.
'Of all the people to be born as…' I think before the man before me speaks again breaking my train of thought.
"My name is yamoshi. You're predecessor. It's time you learn to control yourself."
Instantly I was interested. I may not be super knowledgeable about the small things of the dragon ball anime, but I do remember the later Dragon Ball Super was fairly powerful in regards to the DBZ storyline I grew up watching.
So I decide in that moment that despairing about how I got here will do no good. All I can do is look forward, and take what is offered.
For the first time I speak, my new voice sounding odd to my ears. "Okay… yamoshi. Please teach me how not to be a beast."
And with that, the rigorous training began.
———————
I don't know how long I spend with Yamoshi. In truth, time fades away when all you do is fight, meditate, fight again, and then meditate once more. Only to repeat the cycle again. And again. And again.
"Calm yourself Broly." Yamoshi says seeming to read my frustration.
"Forgive me sensei. I merely see no point in maintaining this cycle. Is the best teacher not hands on experience? I cannot even go super saiyan yet, let alone control the legendary state," I say with my tail swishing behind me.
'That's something I'll have to take care of eventually as well. Regrow my tail. I'll use the dragonballs if I have to.' I think to myself, preparing for that.
Yamoshi's voice broke me out of my thoughts, "As I keep telling you my pupil, by achieving what I'm teaching you-compression and perfect ki control- you won't need to achieve the super saiyan state through emotional turmoil. As for the legendary state, you're own hypothesis is correct, you must transform and try to allow your body to become used to it as any other Saiyan transformation. The key will be not destroying entire sectors of space en route to gaining the needed control."
I deadpanned at him. "So, the most dangerous transformation the saiyans have outside of Divine ki usuage is just a 'jump and see if there's no rocks under the surface,' kind of thing?"
My teacher at least had the good graces to look sheepish, "you're correct. It's not a perfect method. But nothing is."
I sigh before speaking again, "that's not even getting started on the collar Paragus put on me. What am I to do about that?"
At the mention of my 'father' Yamoshi gains a dark look. "That is for you to decide. Perhaps you can show him you're in control or…" he trailed off. Neither of us needed any more words to understand what he meant.
I'd thought about it to. Removing him from the board. In my opinion he would be the same as if we resurrected vegeta's dad. The old saiyan way runs too deep. It's not something I'd enjoy. Patricide. But if the dude wouldn't take the collar off me what other choice would I have?
Yamoshi again seems to read my mind. "Perhaps there's a way to forgoe him all together. To leave him to the fate Vegeta Sr. Left for him, to die on Vampa."
I look at him. If there were a way off this planet paragus would've found it. He's had decades.
My teacher needs no urging to continue, "the yardrats have a peculiar technique that allows them to go anywhere they can recognize a Ki signature."
My mind begins working until I remember Goku using something like that. "That's well and good. But i don't know anyone other than my dad." I say to him.
He gains a knowing look before speaking, "that will matter less when you achieve transformation. Your perception will increase beyond your imagination right now. That will allow you to find a ki signature regardless and at least get to a civilization that may have a ship."
I nod agreeing with that. "Very well. Let's continue." I say getting into a lotus position and slowly rising into the air.

Paragus Pov
Broly hasn't woken up after that last shock. It's been days and I'm beginning to worry. Cruel as it may be to keep the collar on him I merely wish to preserve my own life. When he gets out of control my son is a force of nature that cannot be stopped.
Just as I'm about desperate enough to try and shock him back awake, I see his eyes begin to flutter. A telltale sign of awakening.
A deep groan fills the room. I tense, ready at a moments notice to activate the collar should broly not be the kind boy I know him to be.
With a stretch of his already massive arms, my sons eyes open fully and he sits up. Garbed in nothing but the animals fur and his saiyan pants.
"Broly?" I speak as softly as I can to him, but it still comes out as a thick growl.
He looks me in my eyes and I see somethings changed. I don't know what but where before was naivity Is now replaces by wisdom.
"Father." He replies to me. Again stretching his arms and beginning to get off the bed. "Forgive me for losing control earlier. I assure you, it won't happen again."
Once more, the look in his eyes when he spoke about not losing control is different from the other times. I simply nod.
My son begins to stretch his body out. Putting his feet together and laying his palms on the ground. He holds this for a few seconds before splitting his feet shoulder width apart and repeating the action. Lastly, he spreads his feet wide and leans onto one leg each for a few breathes.
With that done he grabs his saiyan undershirt and begins to head out the door.
"Where are you going?" I ask him. Uncertainty clear in my tone.
Broly doesn't even look back at me. "I told you. I won't lose control again. I'm going to gain that control." He says before beginning to walk toward the door once more.
"Wait son!" I call trying to come with him. "Let me come."
My son does turn to look at me now, and the coldness in his eyes could rival that of the cold family. "No. I cannot be worried you're going to shock me while I try to understand my power. This is something I must do. Alone."
With that he turns and walks out of the small abode we call home. While I'm left trying to reconcile what I just saw in my son.
———-
I made my way quickly away from the house. First going north then doubling back and going south. I don't want Paragus to follow me.
I go do what Yamoshi taught me. Meditate to understand my power. It was easier in my mind. But as I feel the truly endless supply of my ki while hovering a bit above the ground in a lotus, I begin to wonder if I can do this.
'No. None of that. A warriors only as good as his will to succeed.' I think to myself. Closing my eyes and remembering my lessons. 'Compress it. Still it. Make it obey.'
I don't know how long I meditated, but when I came out of it I felt moderately more confident.
I knew the moment had come. To unleash some of this well of energy. Not to transform yet, but to feel it. To understand it.
I got in the classic pose, took a deep breathe in and then released a primal roar.
"Aaaaahhhhhhh"
I see my body covered in green ki. 'So the natural color of my ki is that of the legendary super saiyan as well? Interesting.' I think seeing my ki move like a living cloak.
I don't push further right now. This will suffice. I simply need to feel it. I can meditate and analyze later.
I don't know a lot. But I know one thing, I'd taken my first true steps to making my mark in this world.
