Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Broly Joins the Group, Beerus Heads to Planet Vampa!
"Hmm… in Universe 7, who else should I invite to join the group?"
Sitting inside his cosmic domain, Jack—the leader of the Universal Thug Group—rested his chin in his hand as he pondered the decision.
His top priority was to strengthen Universe 7's lineup. It wasn't favoritism. Universe 7 was simply the protagonist universe, filled with wild cards, geniuses, and warriors that could rival gods.
So far, Jack had already invited Android 17, Android 18, and Majin Buu. All three had accepted the invitations without issue.
But now, he found himself stuck.
Son Gohan? Jack had considered him. But Gohan had long abandoned the path of martial arts. Without him committing to that journey again, it wouldn't make sense to bring him in.
Trunks and Goten? They were still kids—strong for their age, sure, but ultimately inexperienced. Letting them take on interdimensional missions would be risky. There was a good chance they'd screw something up, and Jack wasn't willing to take that risk.
As for Future Trunks, the problem was different. He existed outside the current timeline. Jack couldn't reach across time and space to invite someone not bound to this present world.
Mr. Satan? Jack chuckled. He had respect for the man's courage, but in truth, Satan was just a normal human. There wasn't a single mission he could complete at the scale the Thug Group required.
And Yamcha?
Jack smirked. "I'll wait. Let's see if anyone else in the group remembers Yamcha exists."
Just like in the original timeline, Yamcha was often forgotten—poor guy. Even during the recruitment for the Tournament of Power, his name never came up until it was too late. Jack figured it would be fun to let history repeat itself a little.
But then—
"Wait… how could I forget about him!?"
A bolt of realization struck Jack, and his eyes lit up.

Planet Vampa
In the distance, green skies stretched above a barren wasteland. Jagged rocks and desolate cliffs made up most of the scenery. A harsh environment, unforgiving and silent.
Amid the desolation, a lone warrior stood—Broly.
He was tall, muscular, wild-haired, and shirtless, with a pelt wrapped around his waist. At the moment, he was entertaining himself the only way he knew how: tossing massive boulders across the valley like they were paper balls.
"GRUHHH!!"
With a grunt, he hurled a rock the size of a truck into the sky, watching it disappear over the horizon. It was one of the few pastimes he had on this isolated world.
But just then, a strange voice echoed in his mind.
> "The Universal Thug Group invites you to join the group chat. Do you accept?"
"...Huh?"
Startled, Broly turned his head sharply. There was no one around—no figures, no animals, no ships. Just emptiness. And yet, the voice had been crystal clear.
"Who said that?" he muttered, scanning the terrain.
Again, the voice repeated:
> "Do you accept?"
Broly didn't understand what it meant… but something in his instincts told him it wasn't a threat. Maybe… it was an opportunity?
After a moment of hesitation, Broly chose 'Yes'.
---
Meanwhile, within the Thug Group chatroom, notifications started to pour in.
> "Seventh Universe - Android 17 has joined the group chat!"
"Seventh Universe - Android 18 has joined the group chat!"
"Seventh Universe - Majin Buu has joined the group chat!"
"Seventh Universe - Broly has joined the group chat!"
The new additions instantly stirred the group's older members into chatter.

Goku: "Whoa! New people joined again?!"
Krillin: "18! You're here too?! And 17? That's awesome!"
18: "Yeah, I joined. Krillin, is this the group of thugs you told me about? It's pretty amazing."
Krillin: "Oh, it gets even better. You'll find out soon."
17: "What exactly is this group? Where am I?"
Piccolo: "Newbies, check the group announcement. It explains everything about the Thug Group."
Just then, Jack made an appearance.
Jack: "@Beerus, I have a mission for you. Head to Planet Vampa, retrieve Broly, and begin training him. Help him stabilize his power."
Jack: "Once the mission is complete, I'll reward you with an invitation token."
---
Goku: "Broly?! Wait—is that the Broly?! From the new timeline?! No way… That guy's insanely strong!"
Beerus: "Understood, Lord Jack. I will not fail!"
The moment Beerus received the mission from Jack, he stood up with fierce determination in his eyes. This wasn't a request—it was an order. And Beerus wouldn't dare take it lightly.
"Whis," Beerus said, turning to his angel attendant, "we're heading to Planet Vampa."
Whis nodded with a graceful smile. "Shall I prepare the travel path?"
"Immediately."
Within seconds, the two vanished, traveling through the void.
---
Back on Vampa, Broly stood motionless, staring at the interface floating before his eyes.
Broly: "Who are you people? Where am I? Why was I brought here?"
Jack: "Welcome, Broly. You can check the group announcement for full details. But don't worry—I know your story."
Jack: "You've spent your life on Planet Vampa, a place barely suitable for survival. You've endured extreme isolation for decades, growing strong through hardship. But now, that's over. I've sent someone to bring you to a better place."
Broly's eyes widened slightly.
"How… do you know that?"
Jack: "Let's just say I watch over many worlds. I know your potential. You're more than just a strong fighter—you carry the Chō-Saiyan (Super Saiyan Prodigy) bloodline, one of the rarest and most powerful bloodlines in existence."
Jack: "Unfortunately, that power comes at a price—you lose control. Rage takes over. But we're going to fix that."
Broly was stunned.
He had never spoken to this "Jack," never met him, and yet… he knew everything.
"Fix… it?"
Jack: "Yes. I've assigned Beerus and Whis to train you personally. With their help, you'll learn to stabilize your mind and control your power."
Jack: "If you succeed, you'll become one of the strongest beings across all universes—far beyond even Goku and Vegeta."
Broly's hands clenched slightly. For the first time, he felt like a door had opened—a path beyond loneliness and confusion.
---
Elsewhere, in the group chat, more messages rolled in.
Majin Buu: "Hehehe, this group is fun."
17: "Still don't get it. But okay. I'll observe."
18: "Hey Krillin, are the missions dangerous?"
Krillin: "Some of them are. But the rewards are worth it. Just don't upset Lord Jack."
Goku: "Man, I really wanna train with Broly!"
Piccolo: "Focus, Goku. The last time you fought him, he nearly tore a hole through the planet."
Goku: "Heh. True."

Back on Planet Vampa…
Beerus and Whis arrived through a spatial ripple, stepping onto the rocky terrain.
"There he is," Whis said, pointing toward the lone figure in the distance.
Broly stood in awe as the two figures approached—one with purple skin and golden eyes, the other a silver-haired being holding a staff.
"Are… you the ones sent by Jack?" Broly asked.
Beerus smirked. "That's right. I'm Beerus, God of Destruction. And this is Whis, my attendant and teacher."
"We're here to take you off this rock and help you tap into your full potential," Whis added.
Broly looked hesitant. "Why?"
"Because you're a wild card," Beerus replied. "Untrained, unstable, and yet overflowing with power. Jack thinks you're worth the effort. And to be honest… I agree."
Whis gestured toward the sky. "Shall we?"
Broly hesitated just a second longer—then nodded.
And with that, the three vanished from Vampa.
---
Jack, watching from afar, smiled.
"Broly is on the path now. With guidance, he'll become more than just a berserker."
He leaned back, eyes scanning the group's activity. The Thug Group was evolving fast—and it was only the beginning.
