THE COUNCIL OF HEROES 2

THE COUNCIL OF HEROES 2

After saying this, Broly knelt down before Son Goku, bowed his head and implored his mercy. Son Goku, however, hardened his heart the moment he perceived what Broly was driving at so that none of his words drew any compassion from him. He was too tense about everything that was going on and he couldn’t stand his asking, and less of all his gesture. He wanted the discomfiture to cease so he answered.

Son Goku: “Stand up, Broly. We have heard you, and have seen your gesture. Our answer is that if you don’t attack us, we will let you live. You shouldn’t expect anything more from us. After what you did to my family, I refuse to forgive you and take you home. That would be treason in my opinion. Understand that if you had had your way in the past, we wouldn’t be here talking.

Thanks to Agape, we’re alive and what you did wasn’t fatal to us. That, however, doesn’t change the fact that it hurt us, and continues to for the scars are still here. You said it yourself; it’s asking too much. Be content to live a quiet life with Galactus. I say it clearly so there should be no misunderstanding: Broly, you’re not part of us. If that was all you had to say, we’ll ask you and Galactus to leave our space field now.”

The agents heard Son Goku, and although some didn’t approve what he said, they let him speak for them. How could they reproach him? It was Son Goku who was personally hurt by Broly; and it was still Son Goku who saved Nootra on the three occasions Broly attacked the city. Although that response was contrary to what their civilization would normally give, the Council of Heroes let Goku’s case be as he said, given the things he suffered at the hands of Broly.

Broly raised his head and gave a pleading look at Son Goku. The hero, however, was intransigent. He stared hard at him, anxiously waiting for him to depart. Broly got up and shyly turned away, and walked back to Galactus. None of the heroes stirred for they were all behind Son Goku who was their spokesperson in that matter.

Nevertheless, their attitude outraged Galactus, and he drew near and rebuked them.

Galactus: “Nootra, is this what your civilization has become - one man speaking for your entire city? You violate the very essence of what your forefathers left behind when they built this civilization. I was present when Captain Universe and his peers took all the risks to make this city stand on justice and love. This inevitably meant collaborating with people who had harmed them, and those who even posed a danger to them. They did so because they stood on the faith that evil would see goodness and transform into good. This trust was perilous to some yet they refused to let fear or revenge hinder the revolution they were bringing into the world.

‘Your forefathers were persuaded Nootra was the new world they were building, and so they went where man refused to go. They forgave enemies and embraced former detractors because they believed only challenging steps as those could change this world. That was the dream of Captain Universe, your first Captain Nootra. He passed this dream to you so that you should live this lifestyle and spread it, not only across this galaxy, but to the entire universe. Have you forgotten already that this isn’t about you, your planet or your personal ambitions and dreams? Remember that this is about man, whosoever he is, villain or hero, Nootran or Saiyan, Kryptonian or Aegelist.

‘There is yet one pertinent thing you stubborn Nootrans aren’t taking into account. The Supreme Fighter is at the gate of our galaxy with the Ablom. I saw what he did in the seventh galaxy, and I promise you Kainos isn’t joking when he talks of conquering the universe. Take him lightly and you’ll take this entire galaxy to perdition through that futile resistance you plan to raise against him. Ablom is emperor of a dimension of eight galaxies of a thousand planets, and his resources are limitless. He is doing the opposite of what Captain Universe did with this expedition of conquering the worlds. And now that he is Supreme Fighter, don’t think your secret force will stand a chance against him.

‘If we want to preserve our galaxy, we need all our fighters, and without a doubt, Broly is our trump card. He fought you once or even thrice, and the last time you changed him. Isn’t this what you wanted; what you shout everywhere – transform everything into good? Why reject him now that he’s good? Where do you want him to go? You said this city is the best place in the world and all men should come and live here. Yes, Nootra is the paradise of the universe. What do you now mean by excluding someone who has openly shown that he wants to be part of you and live your dream?

‘Are there not some wise ones among you: Superman, Pikkoro, Prime, J’onzz, and especially you, Captain Nootra, the one whose heart has the same craving as your ancestor’s, Captain Universe? As long as you’re here, your fathers’ dream will continue to flourish for you’re the reincarnation of the one who first embodied this dream. Will you now leave your responsibility to others, and let little Goku make that decision when it is your place to do so? I advise you to forgive Broly and accept him as one of yours. Accepting him will also mean accepting me, and you’ll have the two most powerful fighters of the galaxy on your side. Captain, I adjure you to speak for your city. If you inherited the Nootra Shield, you know what it stands for, and you know what to do in this case. I’m done, and I await your answer, Captain.”

Captain Nootra kept his eyes on Galactus while this one spoke, and when he finished, he looked at Broly who was standing at a distance from Galactus. Then he turned and faced the Council for he couldn’t speak without consulting the heroes. He asked Galactus to give him some time before he delivered his answer, and raising the Nootra Shield, he opened a force field, which covered him and his peers for a briefing. Son Goku had drifted further away from the rest, and he wasn’t taken under the influence of the shield. The Saiyan stood there aloof and wouldn’t take his eyes off Broly. Storm came to him and asked him to join his comrades.

Storm: “Goku, don’t allow anything external to change the man you are. Don’t let them dominate you and make you another. You’re who you are and it’s not from the outside you’ll be influenced. Come; Nootra calls and we must heed.”

Son Goku: “I have expressed myself already. Nootra knows my position. I won’t lower my guard until these two are out of my sight.”

Seeing how restless his companion was, Iron Man took some security measures, and came to reassure him.

Iron Man: “They won’t attempt anything while we’re in Council. I have created a perimeter and posted my armours all over the place. They’ll report immediately they pick up something. Those two won’t succeed if they try to trick us in any way. Let’s get in and sort this out together.”

Son Goku listened to Iron Man and with Storm, they joined their fellows in the force field. J’onn J’onzz enabled the satellite, and they talked with those who were in the city.

J’onn J’onzz: “Headquarters, did you follow us so far? We’re now in Council. You can start, Captain.”

Captain Nootra: “Son Goku spoke for us all, but everyone’s opinion must be heard. What I’m asking from you is honesty. We’re comrades yet just as we differ from each other, so our opinions vary. We have been taught since childhood that we can have different opinions, tastes, and beliefs yet we don’t cease to be one people. What we cling to is our oneness, not our differences. Only one decision will be made at the end of the day, and we will all abide by it because we act as a single body. Yet everyone must voice their thoughts. J’onn, what’s your stance?”

J’onn J’onzz: “I think Broly is sincere when he says he has changed. I read his mind, and it is so. But that’s not the issue. The issue is, are we ready to live with someone who has tried to annihilate our people on three occasions?”

Superman: “Galactus talked of our ancestors wanting this city open to all. He was right about that. Our ancestors, however, didn’t face a trial as this. I believe each generation has its own challenges, and becomes a landmark by the way it reacts to this unique test to which it has no reference. Even if there had been a similar case before, it is not this one since everything here differs from its antecedent. We should decide from our own point of view, and not refer to the past. The future will see what we have done and appreciate from their own point of view; if it was noble or not. Personally, I have nothing to say in this case. I may be Superman, but sometimes, not even Superman has the answer to the world’s problems.”

Invisible Woman: “Are we going to betray one of us to practice what we say our ancestors left? If we fail to make a decision ourselves and rely on what we think our ancestors would want, won’t we be instituting a law and practicing an idea without giving our appreciation? That’s the very thing our ancestors were trying to avoid. We’re the ones present now, and it is we who make that decision, and we shouldn’t rely on what we might wrongly think our ancestors would want. The spirit of Nootra is in us and we’re this civilization.”

Storm: “I’m with Susan. Our civilization was never founded on concepts, narrated in the form of words. Our civilization is based on people living a higher consciousness. Our ancestors left us this civilization and we live it by developing every facet of its values. We don’t rely on the past, but on people who experience justice and love. What is love in this case; what is justice here? If we honestly answer these questions, I believe whatever we decide today will be in line with what our civilization stands for, and expose a new aspect of its beauty. Then we won’t be living for values, which are all abstract ideas, but we’ll be living for people.”

Iron Man: “Ororo’s point is relevant and to emphasize it, I would say, this civilization is nothing but us, the people who live it. Civilization is just a word, those values are only concepts, and the past is a memory; the present alone is real. We don’t trust in something, we trust in people, and we present are this civilization. In reality, this civilization has no values in itself; the people who live these values give substance to this civilization. I say we don’t depend on what our ancestors did. We do what we think is good for the people of Nootra.”

Batman: “Heroes, if truly Broly has changed, as J’onn confirmed, I don’t see why he shouldn’t join us. Apart from being a villain, nothing can prevent anyone from being a hero of Nootra. You take things personally when we’re supposed to be objective in this case. We’re currently in crisis with the Ablom posted at the entrance of our galaxy. It is the same warship that subjugated the seventh galaxy, the largest of our dimension. To have a chance to stand up to it, we need the best elements, no matter where we can get them. Agents, a world is coming against us, and no other than the strongest. We must let go of personal grudges and see what would be most beneficial for our people. Goku, you too have to see things in this light.”

Son Goku: “You’re free to express your opinion, Batman, and what you say is logical, as always. Yet I refuse to forgive Broly. Whatever Nootra decides, that will be it. I have stated my stand and you won’t make me change my mind.”

Wonder Woman: “We shouldn’t be speaking in the conditional. The reality is we’re all here now. Yes; Broly did threaten us in the past, but he didn’t succeed. Maybe it was for this reason we had to fight him these many times; so that he changes and helps save our galaxy from the Supreme Fighter.”

Cyclops: “We won’t split into parties because of someone who tried to annihilate us on various occasions. Goku, I understand you. It was you who suffered the most from Broly’s three attacks. Your sons, Goten and Gohan, were seriously injured in those attacks. That’s why I ask everyone to say if we take in Broly or not. What the Council decides in the end, everyone will abide by it.”

Optimus Prime: “I don’t like this thing of vote; it’s never good. Since we must reach an agreement that will go against the desires of some, I suggest Captain Nootra decides for us. Captain, you inherited our ancestors’ will, and we trust you. I am convinced what you decide will be good for our people and civilization. Anybody objects?”

Charles Xavier: “I approve. It’s the only way to settle this.”

Jean Grey: “Cap, you’re choosing for us.”

The Council of Heroes unanimously agreed that Captain Nootra, their ancestral figure, decides for them. He was the one who wielded the Nootra Shield, first brandished by Captain Universe, the city’s patriarch. He had his spirit, and the heroes believed that would guide him to do what was right.

Captain Nootra, however, didn’t like that the final decision came back to him. He had tried to shift his responsibilities onto others, but as Galactus said, that was his decision to make. He was afraid for he remembered making a decision once, which turned out to be his worst nightmare. Yet he couldn’t let that failure hinder him forever. He looked at Batman, and as in other cases, wanted him to get him out of there. Yet he knew it wasn’t what Batman wanted that he should do, but what he considered was right. His peers also encouraged him.

Thor: “We trust you, Captain.”

Wolverine: “Don’t pressure him, bub. Kid, responsibilities require you to always be at the helm.”

Pikkoro: “Be confident, Nootra. What you decide will be the right thing.”

After these words from his best friend and his two masters, Captain Nootra closed his eyes, and went into a minute of meditation where he considered everything revolving around that case. When he opened his eyes again, he spoke without hesitation and affirmed his verdict.

Captain Nootra: “Son Goku is the one who defended us the three times Broly attacked Nootra. If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t be here talking. Our civilization wants to receive everyone, but if we had been wiped out, there wouldn’t be anyone to receive anyone. I, Captain Nootra, speaking from my deepest convictions and with the most sincere love for my people and my faithfulness to Nootra, say we do as Goku says. He saved Nootra, and if he doesn’t want Broly, Nootra doesn’t want him either. We’re not letting down our own, whether citizens or heroes.

‘This civilization doesn’t only mean accepting people who want to be part of us; it also means being faithful to every single one among us. We do not forsake our own. It would be treason if we welcomed Broly and go against the expressed will of the one who defended us at the risk of his life. Heroes, the sons of Goku, Gohan and Goten, are the ones Broly threatened. It was still Son Goku who cast out the menace. Although some may wish to fight alongside Broly, and though he might be an asset, we refrain from him. If Broly is going to be one of us, it will happen when Goku accepts him. As for the Supreme Fighter, he will be defeated. Agape won’t let the enemy erase this civilization. This is His city. He gave us the Nootra Shield, and so we’re bound to win all of our battles, with or without Broly. This is Nootra’s answer to Broly’s request.”

Captain Nootra’s response settled the matter, closing all debates and putting the heroes in one accord. He united them all with the enlightenment he brought to the issue and they knew that was the answer. The Council adjourned and Captain Nootra suspended the force field, and the Council once again met with the two redoubtable fighters. Captain Nootra gave this answer to Broly.

Captain Nootra: “Broly, we stand by Son Goku and decline your request. We’re sorry, but after what you did to our world, we can’t make you one of us. We recognize you have changed, the reason we trust you’ll understand. You’re transformed into good and we praise you. Spread this good everywhere. Broly, you find family, friendship, and happiness. Life is good to you. Broly, you find a people who accepts you. This is our blessing to you, and it is so. Now we must ask you and Galactus to leave this space sector.”

Broly was disappointed after hearing Captain Nootra’s ruling. He turned to Son Goku, pleading with a dejected visage and eyes full of tears, but Goku looked away, having promised to not reverse Broly’s case by feeling pity for him. Broly looked at the other agents and there was such resoluteness on their faces he turned around and flew off to Galactus, asking that they leave. Galactus was furious at the Council’s response and wanted to speak, but Broly stopped him.

Broly jumped on Galactus’ shoulder, and this one retraced his steps. They flew away from Nootra’s gravitational influence under the heroes’ unyielding gaze. Yet while their outward expression showed intransigence, the hearts of the heroes hit them hard for it was the first time they had rejected someone who desired to join them. They returned to the city, and on their minds was Broly’s dejected face when they gave him that answer, the cruellest that could be given to any man: No.

THE COUNCIL OF HEROES

1 THE COUNCIL OF HEROES

This happened two years after Nootra forces had eliminated the threat of Legendary Super Saiyan Broly. Galaxy Brave wasn’t ready for what was coming against it. The ten inhabited planets were caught in a danger far bigger than any their world had ever faced. This came from the Hidden Dimension and turned out to be the biggest menace of all-time. The Hidden Dimension was the Closed Realm, as opposed to the Open Realm, which were the known parts of the universe. The mystery of the Hidden Dimension lay in the fact that no radar from the Open Realm could trace it. The Braves were aware of its existence for many evidences confirmed its reality. Still, they couldn’t locate it on the map of the universe. Those who ventured out of there called it Dimension 1J414. These people were trapped in Other Dimensions since the location of their world was unknown, hence the name Hidden. These adventurers from the Hidden Dimension told stories of their magnificent world and its powerful leader. These stories, however, sounded like fables in the ears of the Open Realmers for the splendour of that world seemed to be grossly exaggerated.


The mystery of the Hidden Dimension was unveiled when its emperor entered the Open Realm while announcing his goal to conquer every planet, system, galaxy and dimension, and rule as Emperor of the Universe. This man, Kainos Ablom and Rak Emperor, was also known as the Supreme Fighter. Although his face was unknown to many, his fame had spread throughout all civilizations for the ingenuity of his person, the dreadfulness of his techniques, the complexity of his technologies, and the vastness of his empire. Kainos Ablom was The Phenomenon. He alone boasted of having subdued, not only an entire dimension, but also of keeping its galaxies in an unprecedented state of modernisation.


After conquering his native planet Zoe and Galaxy Bold, the Supreme Fighter took upon himself the audacious ambition of ruling over the world. He launched a campaign to incorporate all galaxies of the Hidden Dimension into Ablom Empire. He achieved this when he conquered Telem, strongest galaxy of the Hidden Dimension. Despite its technologies and the fearlessness of its warriors, Telem was helpless before the might of Rak Emperor and his fierce companions. At the report of the conquest of Telem and of Master Seth’s desertion, the people’s hearts sank. Although they fought relentlessly against Rak domination, one after the other, the galaxies of Dimension 1J414 fell to the Ablom. The Ablom was the Supreme Fighter’s warship, an artificial mobile sphere, the size of an asteroid, which harboured the might, power, and ingenuity of Rak Emperor. 


After sweeping aside all the galaxies of his dimension, the Supreme Fighter included them in his domain and sat as absolute monarch of Dimension 1J414. Having consolidated his dominion over the Hidden Dimension, Kainos Ablom turned to the outside world and launched the second phase of his expedition. He planned to achieve this in stages because of the immensity of the universe. Having observed the many dimensions of the world, he was attracted to one in particular. Dimension 2C519 caught his eye once he learned it housed the most powerful warriors of the universe. So he began his conquest there. The Supreme Fighter appeared in the Open Realm with a desire to prove his superiority over all other human, artificial or intellectual resource. 


Dimension 2C519 sheltered nine galaxies and for this universal phase of the campaign, the Ablom undertook a mission of subduing the nine galaxies. Instead of attacking the second galaxy directly, as was his desire, the Supreme Fighter assailed Galaxy 7, the most populous of the realm. He fought there three days, and it fell under his superior war tactics. One of his revolutionary technologies was a time-bending machine, which falsified reality. With this, the Ablom isolated the seventh galaxy from the world and the eight neighbouring galaxies obtained false information on the situation until the siege was over. Rak Empire eventually incorporated Galaxy 7 and Kainos Ablom became ruler of one of the galaxies of the Open Realm. When the rest of the galaxies saw how fast and how easily he subdued the biggest galaxy of their world, the rumours about the Hidden Dimension and its powerful leader were confirmed. Then the people feared. 


The Supreme Fighter published his victory to the rest of the galaxies, ordering them to surrender or be annihilated. He particularly addressed the second galaxy, his next target. He gave the Braves six months threatening that their refusal to comply would result in the destruction of their world. In all of his campaigns, the Supreme Fighter was accompanied by his big brother Abel, and his younger sister and commander of his army Enam. A group of faithful companions from his childhood, from planet Zoe, and Dimension 1J414 had unreservedly adhered to his cause. Notable among them was Asvran of Rak, chief of Ablom Special Forces. The Supreme Fighter also had a number of men walking by his side, some of whom were among the most redoubtable in the universe.
Now, the fall of Galaxy 7 shook the entire dimension, particularly Galaxy 2. The ten inhabited planets were troubled on learning that their galaxy was next on the Ablom list. It was in Galaxy Brave, second galaxy of Dimension 2C519, that Nootra, home world of the superheroes, was found. Having raised a civilization of four millennia, which experimented freedom, justice, love and truth, the Supreme Fighter’s campaign principally affected the Nootrans, as his claims went against everything their city stood for. Surrendering to him would mean the end of their culture and render obsolete everything their ancestors lived for. 


The Nootrans were a people who were not governed by an individual, a system or an entity. They were a people who trusted their civilization having their countless heroes as champions of their cause. These were committed to upholding those values, which were experienced by citizens on a daily basis. Because of who they were, it was impossible for them to give up their values by surrendering to someone whose will wasn’t the mind of their ancestors. The essence of Civilization Nootra was their freedom. They wouldn’t relinquish what had liberated them from all bondage, so that they enjoyed the unlimited treasures of existence. So when the Supreme Fighter contacted NSF and gave them the ultimatum, the heroes left him no room for illusions. The Council of Heroes stood as one and categorically said no to him. 


Nootra’s response stimulated the other planets and they too declined the conqueror’s demands. Galaxy 2 subsequently launched a secret program to create a fighting unit so as to frustrate the enemy’s plans. 
After receiving the answer of the Brave, the Supreme Fighter moved the Ablom to Galaxy 1, which was sparsely populated. With his multifaceted technologies, Kainos Ablom conquered it in no time, and made it his base of operation. He shortened the deadline against the Brave to three months. Whenever he threatened the total destruction of a galaxy, the Emperor of Rak had this habit of issuing an ultimatum followed by a deadline. He considered himself the strongest man in the world and none had proven him wrong so far, for none of the fearsome fighters he had faced ever defeated him. So he never acted impulsively, but gave time for his victims to weigh the odds.


Following the prevailing threat of the Supreme Fighter, the various security forces of the planets summoned a series of interplanetary meetings in secret locations. They talked of attacking the enemy in his ship. The most important point on the agenda was the creation of a galactic force consisting of fighters from the ten planets. Representatives of the various worlds kept in absolute secrecy what was being discussed at those meetings for the success of the operation depended on the element of surprise. Thus their dealings were held in complete confidentiality until the actualization. The delegates returned home after any of such meetings and reported the findings to the ears of the prominent people of their worlds.


The delegates from Nootra returned home and NSF convened an assembly with its renowned heroes. The following formed the Council of that session: Captain Nootra, Son Goku, Superman, Ancient One of Heyas, Ms. Marvel, J’onn J’onzz, Iron Man, Invisible Woman, Mr. Fantastic, Optimus Prime, Bulma, Cyclops, Storm, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Professor Charles Xavier, Batman, Vegeta, Thor, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and others. It was in the underground hall of Central Headquarters of Nootra Security Forces of Mid Nootra that they gathered. Scarcely had the session opened when L5 contacted the Council. The agents working in Mid Nootra’s spatial secret base reported sighting Galactus approaching with a white flag tied to his finger. The Council dissolved immediately, and all agents hurried to space, some using their flight ability, and others anti-gravitationals. They rushed to the edge of their planet to stop Galactus before he entered Nootra’s atmosphere.


The five headquarters and secret bases among other bases, agencies, and security centres of Nootra had their weapons targeted on the incoming villain while following his progress through snipers. J’onn J’onzz had ordered his commanders to not open fire until they knew the intent of the planet devourer. A protective dome was activated the moment NSF captured the menace and a force field covered the whole planet, turning the sky over Nootra yellow. This indicated to citizens to stay indoors. If the sky changed to green, they were to carry out an evacuation plan onto which they had been trained. This protection was only an indicator for NSF had set up a greater defence since the time they heard of the Supreme Fighter menace. This invisible barrier enveloped the city to keep the people safe.


The agents reached the planet’s threshold and moved further to keep Galactus as far away from the city as possible. Galactus ran into the superheroes as he travelled to Nootra and NSF stood in his way and showed him they wouldn’t allow him to gain more space in that direction. Galactus stopped. He observed that the whole Council had come to give him a cold welcome. Captain Nootra, Storm, Cyclops, Batman, Son Goku, Invisible Woman, Pikkoro, Vegeta, J’onn J’onzz, Jean Grey, Iron Man, Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Mr. Fantastic, Wonder Woman, Thor and Superman were all on full alert and followed the devourer’s slightest movement through their techs and sensory faculties. He too passed his eyes on each one of them, staring hard at them. 
Captain Nootra separated from the group and moved closer to Galactus. He addressed their guest in an unfriendly tone. Galactus’ visit was undesirable. NSF didn’t want another villain to deal with now that the Supreme Fighter was behind their back.


Captain Nootra: “Why are you here, Galactus? State your intention clearly, and avoid any form of sarcasm for we’re not fond of it.”
Captain Nootra was impulsive, and Pikkoro followed him in front to get a clear-cut answer as to the arrival in the city of one of the most dreaded super villains of the galaxy.


Pikkoro: “Let’s get to the point. Make your stand clear, Galactus. What’s the nature of your visit? Have you come to fight us or not? Answer yes or no.”

Galactus: “I don’t intend to respect any of your conditions, Namek. I’m not a child that I should answer yes or no.”

Vegeta also dissociated himself from the crowd and spoke, rather aggressively, to the visitor.

Vegeta: “If you came to make guesses, Galactus, we aren’t interested. Our mightiest fighters are here present and your size doesn’t impress us. You have one minute and if you don’t show us your motive at its expiration, we’ll charge at you. So you better start talking, villain.”

Galactus: “You better not give me ultimatums, Vegeta, or I’m making you my special case. Continue if you want to incur my wrath. Nootra, I’ll obey none of your requirements and whether you like it or not, you’ll listen to what I have to say. Yet it is not I who wants to speak to you. Here he is who seeks you.”


As the heroes’ eyes were on Galactus, they saw Broly come out of his armour. He was in his normal human form; tall and slightly sturdy with long black hair and beautiful eyes. The sight of him put the heroes on full alert, and they grew tenser. The least they wanted was the traditional case of Broly to encumber them at a time they were facing an external threat the size of the Supreme Fighter. They took position, but didn’t launch any offensives for the enemy wasn’t in Legendary Super Saiyan mode, and had shown no hostility towards them. Broly was rather calm and his whole expression was gentle. He started advancing towards the heroes, but Son Goku transformed into Super Saiyan, and leaving his companions behind, went past Captain Nootra. Son Goku’s movement stopped Broly, and the hero had something for the planet devourer.


Son Goku: “Galactus, I warned you last time that I wanted this chapter closed for good, but you insisted on taking him with you. We have our hands full at this moment and we can’t fight on two fronts. You said you were responsible for this case, so what do you mean by this?”


Galactus: “If you want to know why we’re here, you’ll hear it from his own lips. You’d better be attentive for my Broly doesn’t speak as rowdily as you band of poorly behaved kids do. Broly, what do you want to say to Nootra?”


Cyclops: “I can’t believe this. Is he actually pampering him there?”
Broly finally got the heroes’ audience and he addressed them.

Broly: “Nootra, I am Broly, Legendary Super Saiyan. I am the one who caused you many troubles in the past. I almost destroyed your galaxy and home because of a complex I received in my childhood. I take full blame for what my actions cost you and today, I’m sorry for what I did. I wish I could erase that history. Since our last confrontation where your champion defeated me, I have been with Galactus, and living in him these two years made me see truths I was unaware of. Yet what caused what I can call ‘change’ in me are the words, which you, Son Goku, said to me when you beat me. You said you admired me and dreamed of seeing us fight side by side. Although I brought suffering to you and your loved ones, you still found love to speak to me with kindness at that time, which was supposed to be my last, even before the miracle happened through Galactus who saved me.

‘Nootra, I came to ask you something I know I don’t deserve. Yet when I learned that your civilization was the most promising in the world, I resigned myself to asking you this, even if you might consider it impudent. I heard your city gave a new beginning to a man though he might be the worst of men; that you’re a people who offer second chances and give people the opportunity to redeem themselves. When I saw you all fighting side by side, and when the villains Megatron, Magneto, and Galactus allied with you, I perceived there was something in you that I didn’t have. 

‘I want to belong to this civilization and live your dreams. I want to know your friendship; and this love you have for each other, I want to be part of it. I haven’t always made life pleasant for myself and the people around me. I lived to destroy. Planets, systems have been wrecked by me. Yet seeing you standing as one to defeat me, it dawned on me that you were living something beautiful, something I didn’t know. I don’t want to fight the wrong fight anymore. Now I want to use my powers to protect the people of Nootra and the galaxy. This is what I’m asking of you. Since you didn’t kill me, give me the chance to live what you’re living in this city.

‘Kakarot, I know it’s asking a lot but still, I have to make every effort to refuse to let guilt prevent me from living what has been revealed to me as the beauty of friendship and family in the city of Nootra. I beg for your forgiveness for what I did to you, your children and friends, your people, and the people of the galaxy. My plea goes to you directly because it was to you I did all those things. I considered you my enemy whereas you didn’t do anything to me. But I tried to harm you in every way I could. Forgive me and allow me to join Nootra and be one of you.”

MY STORY

Dearly Beloved,

I would like to share my story with you.

I have been writing songs to the Lord for decades, but I have not been able to produce them. I asked the Father to perform what he has given me for everyone to hear it, and enjoy the beauty of these songs, as he showed me in the dream. Then I defined a project for this, and combined twelve songs on the Incarnation, twelve songs on the Resurrection, and twelve songs on Pentecost. I called this project Lord Messiah: The Oratorio.

Oratorio is exaggerated, but I used it because the project contains some of the greatest songs Father has given me over the years, many of which I received in the dream. And so, I call it oratorio for this is the Mystery of Christ - his Incarnation, Resurrection, and the Communion of Holy Spirit, in the form of songs.

I would like you to perform these songs, not all of them, but even two for the Resurrection of the Lord in this Jubilee Year 2025. The songs Christ Pantocrator and Apokatastasis is the utmost of the songs Father has given, and a festival of blessings with the choir and instruments, as I saw in the dream. These are songs for this Jubilee for this is the acceptable time for it to be performed.

I don’t have the means to do it by myself, so I submit this request to you, and I pray the Father that you embrace this call, and we do it together. I would love you to see what I see in these songs, and make it your vocation to perform them. The Jubilee is upon us, the favourable time has come, this is the acceptable year of the Lord. Father has connected me to you, the one who will perform what he has given me.

Trying to release these songs over years has been a long journey, and I had to trust Father, even in my frustration of not seeing them realized. It has been delayed for decades, but the Jubilee has finally come, the time for the songs to be released. I see the Father’s kindness who has called us to share in the vocation of his Son to bring his light to all. Christ’s loveliness is beautiful to behold, and his love constrains us, and we burn with desire to make all men see this treasure that has found us.

I am not a singer, I am not a musician, I am not an artist, but Father has given me these songs, and I want someone to direct me, guide me, arrange these songs, and make them suitable for music. Let’s do this together for I can’t do it by myself. The songs might not be as great as I think; I know, but I just can’t quit because yesterday again, Father gave me another song. I was meditating that Father is pleased with his Son, and therefore, Father is pleased with all men. And I got this marvel in the form of a song.

I don’t know how people would consider my songs, but to me, it is a miracle. I used to say, The Lord is the Song that I sing because this is the place where I love him to the fullest. This is my response to the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ; this is my apologia for the gospel. It is the Mystery of Christ I convey in these songs. The gospel I have heard, which I have received, I give it out in the form of songs.

The lyrics speak of the fullness of creation in the one who is its Firstborn – the God-Man Jesus Christ. The melody is offbeat, and more like a canticle, and draws out to fit the message, which at times, is a whole scripture passage. That is why I need you to arrange them musically, and perform it according to your expertise and knowhow and spirituality in sacred songs.

These songs might not be a great deal to others, but it must be to the one who received it. If I don’t cherish them, if I don’t produce them, who will? Yet it has been one hard thing trying to release them. Many times, I have given up. But when I come to sing them after a long time, I am perplexed, and so I try again and again to produce them, and seek people to help me do it.

I would be so grateful if you would grant my request and perform even one of my songs. Ask, please and I will submit the songs Christ Pantocrator and Apokatastasis. Even if it’s only these two, would you please arrange and perform them so that in the Resurrection of our Lord and throughout this Messianic Jubilee, the world may sing the glorious splendour of Christ’s majesty in these songs.

I am happy I can tell you these things, which are very precious to me. I trust you are the one Father has given to perform these songs. Thank you for your faithfulness in the work of the ministry.

Yours sincerely,

Margaret Newmeli
