Year 758
After Radditz easily defeated Perfect Cell with his Jyhad Attack, Broli reappeared. Disguised as Jin to keep an eye on the Z senshi, he?s now had enough and wants to end our heroes? misery...in death. Have the Z senshi trained enough in the past years to withstand Broli?s legendary power?
Broli was standing before the Z senshi, his arms crossed with a devious smile up his face. The blowing wind broke the following silence and Gohan spoke.
Gohan: " How did you get here!? "
Broli: " Ha, ha, ha. I am more than a mere warrior; I am the Legendary Super Saiyajin! I have powers beyond your comprehension. I can control my existence in all dimensions and time periods. I AM THE ULTIMATE BEING! "
Piccolo: " If you?re so powerful and wanted to get rid of us, why not have done it sooner? "
Broli: " First, I had to look for you. It wasn?t easy, but when I found you, instead of destroying you immediately I decided to have a little fun and let Gero?s Jinzouningen get rid of you. I thought it would be a nice show...Of course, I warned Gero of your coming so he cloned himself, which allowed him to keep on working. I helped him out a little, pretending to be " The Master ", until he was finally trashed by Cell. I hadn?t counted on 17 and 18?s betrayal, though, so I thought that if Cell couldn?t finish you off by himself, I?d take matters into my own hands. A scientist once said: " If you want something wrong done right, you have to wrong-do it yourself. ". So this is the end of your miserable existences. It?s a pity that you won?t be able to enjoy life any longer...unless, of course, you are willing to join me. I offer you, once more, this opportunity of a lifetime... "
Goten: " No way! "
Trunks: " Get outa here! "
Piccolo: " You know my answer... "
Radditz: " It?s the first time I actually see you, but you look too evil to win my loyalty! "
Neo18: " I?ve already ignored Cell?s offer. Yours is no better! "
Neo17: " My sister?s right! We can?t trust a mad man like you! "
F.Trunks: " Bakana! I can?t join you! You destroyed my time! I?ll never forgive you! "
Gohan: " No one can serve such a monster avid for power and destruction. "
Krilin: " I don?t know who you are, but my friends obviously don?t trust you. You are too far from my old friend Jin! Go to blazes! "
Broli: " Very well. If you won?t join me, then YOU WILL DIE!!!!! "
Broli charged up and went to Super Saiyajin 2. This was the cue our heroes were waiting for and they all blasted into their strongest form. With auras of power crackling around each warrior, Krilin noticed his clear inferiority.
Krilin: " Gohan-san! You?re all too strong for me! "
Gohan: " Go, Krilin! You might be more of a burden then help. We?ll handle this! "
Krilin: " OK! Good luck! " Krilin quickly flew away from the battle area. Even though Broli could?ve stopped him, he didn?t.
Goten (Now in SSJ 2): " I was sure you would?ve tried to stop him, Broli! "
Broli (smiling): " This worm is of no interest to me, you fools! You are the ones standing between me and total domination! "
Gohan: " NOW! " Surrounding Broli, the Z senshi had just been waiting for Gohan?s signal. All dashing toward their enemy, they prepared an attack.
Broli: " Silly... " Broli charged up and released huge wave of energy spreading outward from him and knocking every Z senshi away.
Broli: " Can?t you just admit your defeat? "
Broli dashed at piccolo first, kicking him upward and smashing him down with a powerful piledriver. Feeling Goten?s imminent attack, he turned around and caught Goten?s head in his huge palm, violently throwing him to the ground. Trunks, now in SSJ2, then made his move, kicking Broli in the back of the head. Broli, was unaffected and uppercutted his aggressor to the sky, finishing him off with a quick beam of energy.
F.Trunks (SSJ 2): " BURNING ATTACK!!!!! "
Smiling, Broli turned toward him and easily batted the beam away. Gohan then joined in with bakuretsu punches(a series of powerful punches), but Broli just stood there, unaffected. He used his elbow to drill his opponent in the ground, drew him out and blasted him away with a great fireball. Gohan landed heavily in the distance.
Neo17: " ENERGY HA!!!!! "
Neo18: " ENERGY BALL!!!!! "
The two attacks hit Broli simultaneously and his body started to glow. Then, as an echo of each attack resounded, Broli shot back the two fireballs to their casters. 18 avoided the blast while 17 rose his Barrier. Broli then appeared over 17?s head and hammerpunched him away, following this attack with a fireball of his own which 18 could not avoid.
As Broli was fighting the two Cyborgs, Future Trunks and Piccolo decided to try a double energy attack and as they charged up, Goten guessed their plan.
F.Trunks: " FINISH BUSTER!!!!! "
Piccolo: " GEKIRETSUKOUDAN!!!!! "
Goten: " KAMEHAMEHA!!!!! "
It?s only after getting rid of 17?s latest attack that Broli noticed the three energy attacks coming toward him and was unable to block them. Broli was blown back by the impact and felt his back roughly hitting the ground. As he got up, he wiped some blood off his chin and smiled.
Broli: " Impressive. I never thought anyone could hurt me with such a simple strategy. I?ll stop acting so nicely now. Remember, you had your chance at joining me. Don?t come crying to me saying I wasn?t fair...ha ha ha...
Broli blasted in SSJ 3 form. Looking at his ennemies with a cruel smile, his long hair flowing with the wind, he bent down and charged at Piccolo. Hitting him with a flurry of punches, he then grabbed the Nameckjin by the throat and smashed him into the ground...12 feet deep!
Gohan: " MASENKOU!!!!! "
Broli jumped out of the crater and let the downed Piccolo take the blast.
Gohan: " PICCOLO-SAAAAAAN!!!!! "
Broli: " ERASER CANON!!!!! "
Still under the shock of hurting his own teacher, Gohan didn?t see the energy ball coming toward him. He was blown about 100 feet away and didn?t get up. Meanwhile, Goten and Trunks had fused and charged up to SSJ 3.
Gotenks: " Ha! Now that I?m here, Broli, you?re doomed! Here we go! "
Gotenks: " Galactica Donut! "
Broli felt the energy ring coming his way and deflected it toward Future Trunks, tying his arms to his body. Unable to defend himself, Trunks was Broli?s next target. He grabbed him by the neck and hit him with three massive punches in his stomach. Broli then threw him away and ended his attack with a great fireball, putting Future Trunks out of commission.
Gotenks then attacked with a kick to Broli?s chest followed by a blazing uppercut. Broli fell back and landed on his feet, ready to avoid 18?s flying kick. He caught her in the air and blasted her away using a huge ball of energy. 18 fell down, broken.
Broli (to Gotenks and 17): " Ha ha ha! Four down, two to go. "
17 then noticed a sudden change in his opponent?s facial expression. Broli looked panicked and turned around, feeling a huge power coming from behind him. Unfortunately for him, it was already too late.
Radditz (powering down from SSJ 2): " Forgotten about me? "
Radditz: " JYHAD ATTACK!!!!! "
Broli: " What the...? "
Radditz?s triple beams caught Broli off guard. Their pure energy started consuming the legendary warrior?s body...
Broli: " NOOOOO!!!!! " And in a few seconds, Broli?s body was completely destroyed...
Gotenks: " Not bad, Radditz...My next attack would?ve killed him anyway... "
Neo17: " That was too easy! Radditz, you hid until you got a clear shot? "
Radditz: " That?s right! "
Neo17: " Why did you power down? "
Radditz: " Super Saiyajin prevents the use of pure energy. "
Neo17: " I know I?m strong, but a few more seconds and we would?ve all died. "
Gotenks: " What are you talking about? Only with my physical and spiritual presence could Radditz have thought of such a plan! "
Voice: " Hm hm hm hm hm... "
Radditz: " What!? That sounded like... "
Neo17: " ...Broli! "
Voice: " Hm hm hm...Thought you?d won, eh? "
Neo17: " Show yourself! "
A cloud of smoke formed in front of the three warriors and Broli emmerged from it, fully healed and ready to fight.
Neo17: " Bakana! "
Broli: " Ha ha ha! You fools! I?m the Legendary Super Saiyajin! I can?t be killed! I can?t be imprisonned! I can?t lose! "
Radditz: " How is this possible? "
Broli: " Hm hm hm...You, Radditz! These men have clouded your mind with their happiness, their joy and their stupid Dragon wishes! Let me put you back on the right track! "
Broli dashed at Radditz and placed his palm on his chest, engulfing him with a yellow glow. Broli then folded his arms and smiled as the expression on Radditz?s face seemed to get much meaner...
Radditz (with an evil smile): " Yes...I remember. I used to be a proud Saiyajin warrior until that Nameckjin put a spell on me! Now I?ll get my revenge for what you all did to me! "
Broli: " Get that damned Cyborg traitor! I?ll handle the other one... "
Radditz (smiling): " Yes, Master. For the glory of the Saiyajin Empire! "
Radditz dashed at 17 with a blazing punch. As the Cyborg dodged, he threw an Energy-Zan at him. 17 used the Barrier and retaliated with his own beam.
Neo17: " ENERGY HA!!!!! "
Radditz could not avoid the beam, his opponent being clearly superior to him. He landed softly from the blast, his back to 17, and turned around only to face a second energy ball coming at him!
Radditz: " NO!!!!! " Radditz was thrown back by the blast and landed heavily. As he didn?t seem to get up, Broli started to laugh.
Broli: " Ha ha ha! You standing against me is pathetic! I was able to get rid of one of you without a single hit. "
Neo 17: " Why you... " 17 dashed at Broli, but Broli quickly grabbed him, charged up, and ripped his head off.
Gotenks: " 17! "
Broli: " Ha ha ha! This is all too easy! "
Gotenks: " Too easy? Too easy for me, you mean! It?s my turn to fight now! "
Gotenks: " Galac-.......! "
Broli?s fist had already connected with Gotenks? chin. As Gotenks started to fall back down, Broli powered up.
Broli: " THROWING BLASTER!!!!! "
With a confident smile, Gotenks avoided the blast and prepared his own beam, only to get smashed down by a kick from behind! After kissing the ground, Gotenks looked up and tried but couldn?t entirely avoid Broli?s next fireball, hurting his right arm in the process.
Broli: " Ha ha ha! Even the mighty fusion is too weak against me and I?m only in Super Saiyajin 3! "
Gotenks: " Gu gu gu... "
Gotenks: " Too bad! Time for a little scare! "
Gotenks then made three ghosts of himself and commanded them to attack Broli, but as they rushed toward their opponent, he simply avoided them and smashed his fist into Gotenks? stomach. He then turned around and used a Renzouku Energy-dan to destroy the ghosts. After the smoke cleared, Broli smiled.
Broli: " That?s it, fusion warrior! THROWING BLASTER!!!!! "
The poor Gotenks took the blast without any protection and the impact split him back into Goten and Trunks. Barely able to move, they both helplessly watched as Broli slowly flew toward them...
Broli: " It?s over. You lost, and now I have to kill you all, so let?s start with... "
Broli: " ...you, with the purple hair! "
Broli went toward Trunks, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the ground. He wound up his punch and...
Broli: " Now, you will die...he he he... "
As Broli began throwing the finishing blow, a sudden look of pain appeared on his face.
Broli: " Gu gu gu- What?s happening...? "
??????(with an angered tone): " NOOO!!! YOU WON?T!!! "
A huge burst of light came from Broli as he slowly let go of Trunks? neck. Trunks crawled back, looking at the glowing warrior, and suddenly noticed yet another change in Broli?s expression as the legendary one finally understood what was happening to him...
Broli: " BAKANA! NOOOOOOooooo..... "
Broli?s body vanished once more, as a familiar silhouette stepped out of the light...
Trunks: " Tousan! "
Goten: " Vegita-san! "
The Saiyajin prince was standing proudly as he had finally been able, out of anger and hatred, to break away from Broli?s control.
Vegita: " Chikushou! That son of a bitch! How dare he try to destroy my son, his own descendant! "
Trunks (getting up): " Tousan! "
Vegita: " We? ll celebrate later! I?ve managed to put Broli away for a few minutes only. He?ll be back, so we need to get ready. I will go get some senzu seeds to heal everyone. "
Trunks: " What about the Cyborgs? Senzu won?t affect them! "
Vegita: " Move them away from the battlefield. " Vegita then flew away.
Flying toward Karin Tower as fast as he could, Vegita arrived after a few seconds and landed.
Senpyou: " Who...? "
Vegita: " Give me some Senzu seeds, cat! "
Senpyou: " I...I can?t... "
Vegita: " Give them to me NOW!!! "
Senpyou: " Your emotions are evil. Your heart isn?t pure... "
Vegita: " Then, out of my way! I have no time! "
Pushing Senpyou-sama away, Vegita took a handful of Senzu seeds and blasted off to where he came. After a quick flight, he arrived at the Cell Game area and landed close to his son.
Trunks: " 17 and 18?s bodies have been secured. "
Vegita: " Good. Let?s give a Senzu to everyone except Radditz. Since he?s against us, he won?t be of any help. "
After healing everyone and briefing them on what had happened, Vegita explained what he had learned while " inside " Broli.
Vegita: " Broli didn?t kill me because I am one of his descendants. "
Gohan: " What!? "
Piccolo: " How can this be? He?s younger than you! "
Vegita: " Shut up and let me explain! We have very little time! Broli is the legendary warrior born every 1000 years. A thousand years ago, he took over our home planet and named it Vegitasei, creating the new race of the Saiyajin. He then took on the name Vegita and proclaimed himself King of Vegitasei. After about 30 years, he vanished mysteriously, leaving his son as the new King Vegita. 30 years later, the new king?s son murdered the king and took his place. And so, about each 30 years, the king?s son somehow takes over the planet as the new king. I am the 33rd Prince of the Saiyajin, so the next one would?ve been Trunks, but by adding 30 years 33 times, you get pretty close to a thousand years, so Broli is born once again and he plans on becoming the King once more. He doesn?t care about Trunks since, logically, Broli himself is supposed to be the next King and since Vegitasei still exists in this timeline, he plans on taking over it and then the Universe. We have to stop him! "
Goten: " How do we do that? He?s far too strong! "
Vegita: " Having been inside him, I?ve been able to grow much stronger than I was. I hope it?ll be enough. "
Piccolo: " Any idea on why he acted so stupid the first time we met him? "
Vegita: " I don?t know. Maybe it was a ruse of some kind. "
Gohan: " Can you become a Super Saiyajin 4? "
Vegita: " No, I can?t. Only he, the legendary Super Saiyajin, can go to level 4. No one else can ever do it. Level 3 is our physical limit. I know he was able to hide some knowledge from me and it?s probably because he didn?t go into SSJ 4. That?s all why I?m afraid that there may be nothing we can do to stop him. "
F.Trunks: " Then all is lost... "
Vegita: " No! We may be able to create a warrior able t o withstand Broli using fusion power. "
Vegita: " Of all of us, Gohan and I are the two most powerful. Even though you are weaker than me, Gohan, our fusion would still create an incredibly strong warrior. Are you ready? "
Gohan: " What!? I don?t even know how to do the fusion dance correctly! "
Vegita: " We have to start practicing now! Broli will be back in less than ten minutes, so if we fail the dance, we?re doomed! "
Gohan: " Then let?s go. "
Using Goten?s, Trunks? and Piccolo?s knowledge of fusion power, Vegita and Gohan practiced the dance a few times until, six minutes later, Broli?s voice was heard.
Voice: " I?m ba-ack! I?m reconstructing my body now! And Vegita, you?re gonna die for your treason! "
Vegita: " NOW, GOHAN! " Performing the dance, Vegita and Gohan finally touched fingers...
Vegita and Gohan: " FU------SION! HA!!! "
A bright flash came from the two warriors as Broli reappeared in his humanoid form.
Piccolo: " Did they succeed? "
As the light grew weaker, the one fused-man appeared clearer and clearer...
Goten: " Did it work? "
Piccolo: " Yes! They did it! "
The flash vanished, presenting a muscular warrior with a mocking smile and an overly confident look in his eyes.
???????: " Howdy, kiddies! Meet the strongest, most intelligent and best looking guy ever to exist in the entire Universe: Vegitan, the almighty fusion warrior!!! "
Broli: " Well, well. That was your idea, Vegita. I didn?t think someone as proud as you would agree to fuse with another person...even worse, you fused with a half-Saiyajin! Ha ha ha! You lost your style, Vegita! Still no chance! "
Vegitan instantly charged up to Super Saiyajin 3 and folded his arms.
Vegitan: " Shall we begin? " Vegitan dashed at Broli, unleashing hundreds of punches Broli had a hard time blocking. The fused one then tripped his opponent and threw a fireball down at him.
Vegitan: " BIG BANG ATTACK!!!!! "
Broli couldn?t block and slowly crawled out of the 18 feet deep crater which was formed. He got up and dodged Vegitan?s next kick while throwing his own foot in Vegitan?s back. The dual one stabilized and sent a few fireballs upward, which Broli easily batted away, but Vegitan quickly used a flying headbutt , connecting with Broli?s chest. The legendary warrior was sent to the ground, painfully trying to get up.
Goten: " This is great! Vegitan is better than Broli! "
Piccolo: " Never underestimate an enemy, Goten. Remember your defeat against Gohan in the last tournament. "
Goten: " Gohan-san beat you too, you know! "
Piccolo: " Keep quiet! This fight will seal our fate! Just shut up and watch! "
Broli was breathing hard. For the first time in ages, he was losing. How humiliating! It seemed it was now the time...
Broli: " Enough! This is the end, Vegitan! "
Broli charged up, bolts of energy swirling all around him. His hair grew shorter, turning to bright red. His body grew bigger and stronger as a skin-tight red aura surrounded him, his yellow aura blazing with even more intensity. Broli loudly yelled out as a gigantic red wave of energy spread out from him, badly hurting every Z senshi. Even Vegitan could not block the wave of anger, which blew him 20 feet away. Stabilizing, Vegitan wiped some blood off the corner of his mouth and stopped smiling. This warrior, this guy with the red hair and auras of energy glowing around him was no joke. He was the ultimate in strength and power...the legendary Super Saiyajin 4...
Broli: " You have no idea what power truly is, Vegitan! For giving me such a hard time, you will DIE!!! " Broli?s body started to glow strangely. Beams of light converged toward him as he concentrated his ki between his palms.
Broli: " BANNING ATTACK!!!!! " The beam of red light blasted from Broli?s hands and went straight at Vegitan with incredible speed.
Vegitan: " WHAT!? NOOOOO!!! "
Vegitan was unable to avoid the attack. It connected and, after a second of hesitation, a huge explosion engulfed the fused one. As the dust from the explosion finally settled, the Z senshi saw the bodies of both Gohan and Vegita, trying to get up, desperately seeking a few more seconds of life...
Broli: " HA HA HA! That?s what happens when someone dares to face the legends of the past! No one can ever defeat me! No one can ever harm me! No one can ever hope to live after facing me, Broli, the Almighty Master of War and Destruction!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! "
To be continued in the final chapter of the story... Shadows! Warriors of Legend!
