Year 785
The sun was up, it was eight o? clock. Everyone was present in Gohan?s backyard. F.Trunks was the first to speak.
F.Trunks: " Now that everybody?s here, It?s time to go. This is a new time machine that will allow us to travel back and forth through time and between my dimension and yours. When we arrive, we will appear close to Capsule Corp. Broli will be just a few miles away. I do not want any of you going to see kaasan. The shock might be to great for her. So we?re not going to lose any time and we?ll go on to face Broli immediately. Got that, tousan? "
Vegita: "... "
F.Trunks: " Let?s go, then! "
Goten: " Wait! I hate to bring this up but we have to give you a new name, Trunks-san. "
F.Trunks: " ?! "
Gohan: " Yeah, he?s right. Calling two people " Trunks " is going to be hard to deal with. "
F.Trunks: " ... "
F.Trunks(insulted): " Are you saying I was named Trunks unrightfully? "
Gohan(embarrased): " Of course not...eh, guys? " (Big mayday, over here!!!!!)
Goten: " How about Trunks 1 and 2? "
Trunks: " Baka! That won?t cut it! "
F.Trunks saw that Trunks wasn?t as uncomfortable around him as he was around Trunks. He simply seemed to consider him like any other guy. This reassured him a little.
F.Trunks: " But my name is Trunks. I don?t want to change it. "
Piccolo: " Let?s just call him Future Trunks even if he actually comes from the past. "
F.Trunks: " Fine. "
Since everyone seemed to agree on that name (except Vegita who didn?t comment), F.Trunks opened the dimensional time machine?s main hatch and went in first, and everyone followed. Goten and Trunks looked around. The first was amazed while the latter had a " not bad, but not awesome " look on his face.
Goten: " Trunks-san, how many people can this machine carry? "
F.Trunks: " It?s designed to hold 10 passengers, but at maximum capacity, I guess it could carry about 25 people, but it could only hold one Vegita! "
Vegita(not too happy): " I?ll take that as a compliment! "
F.Trunks(smiling): " You shouldn?t, but I don?t care. "
F.Trunks: " Now everyone, take a seat and buckle up. " And so everyone did.
F.Trunks: " Powering up all systems...activating dimensional control...activating temporal systems control... "
Vegita: " How about activating your butt and getting us there, already! " F.Trunks ignored him.
F.Trunks: " ...Temporal and dimensional coordinates set...here we go! "
A big flash of light blinded everyone, and then...nothing.
Goten: " Are we there already? "
F.Trunks: " Hai. We have arrived. "
Year 783a
They got out of the time machine, and everyone turned toward F.Trunks.
F.Trunks: " You can all feel his ki, now. Keep in mind that he learned to do the same and is already aware of us, now. To avoid damaging Capsule Corp. and putting people in danger, we?ll move toward him and meet him in a deserted area. Are you all ready? " Everybody nodded and flew through the ruins toward Broli?s ki. As they arrived, Broli was destroying a small building with a single punch. He looked at them and spoke.
Broli: " Well, well. You?ve come back, Trunks. I hope that this time you count on surrendering, huh? I also hope that these are the new troops you are giving me... "
F.Trunks: " Not at all, Broli. They?re all here to help me get rid of you. Prepare to die. "
Broli: " Stop wasting my time and surrender. It?ll be easier and, besides, I just might forgive you all. "
F.Trunks: " No way! Power up! "
The Z senshi turned to Super Saiyajin. Piccolo snapped his fingers and his cape and turban disappeared. He then powered up along with Gohan.
Broli(unimpressed): " Hmph! Pathetic. " He turned to Super Saiyajin himself.
Vegita, Goten and Trunks then immediately transformed to SSJ2 while Gohan powered up to his maximum strength. Broli, in a defensive position, didn?t move a muscle. Vegita was the first to launch an attack. He dashed toward Broli and unleashed a Renzoku energy-dan (i.e. a flurry a fireballs). Broli just stood there, amused, then folded his arms and smiled as the fireballs vanished at his contact. Vegita didn?t waste any time and attacked him up close with combos of punches and kicks. Broli wasn?t moving. Seeing this, Vegita backed off. He looked at Trunks and Goten.
Vegita: " Fusion! Now! " The two boys understood and moved out of the battle area.
Vegita then looked at Gohan. Gohan nodded and jumped high in the air, Broli following his movement with his eyes. Vegita dashed at him again and punched like crazy. Broli was unaffected. Meanwhile, Gohan fell back to the ground a few meters behind Broli and shot an unannounced Masenkou. While Vegita was still punching him, Broli turned around and caught the beam in his right hand. He then closed his fist and the beam disappeared. Both warriors jumped back, surprised at Broli?s awesome power. Finally, the two young men returned as one.
F.Trunks: " Who are you!? "
Gotenks: " I?m Gotenks-sama, the extraordinary, wonderful and almighty fusion of Goten and Trunks. I?m far too strong for that bozo. Everyone back off! I?ll handle this and in three seconds we?ll be on our way home. "
Gotenks dashed at Broli, which got his attention. Vegita took this moment to transform into SSJ3. Gotenks punched Broli in the face a few times, knocking him back. Broli stopped smiling and turned to SSJ2, his hair turning from purple to greenish-yellow. He dashed at Gotenks, punched him in the stomach, kicked him high in the air, smashed him back to the ground and ended his move with a huge energy-dan, blasting Gotenks. The fused one got back up, smiling. But suddenly, he lost his smile and fell back down to the ground, unconscious. Everyone was stunned and Broli laughed cruely, slowly floating back to the ground. Vegita looked at Gohan, who was still behind their enemy and they both jumped at the same time. Gohan attacked first, landing an ineffective kick in Broli?s back, and then Vegita unleashed a ki-powered uppercut right on Broli?s chin, blowing him back. Broli got back up, pissed. He dashed toward Vegita but was blown sideways by Piccolo?s punch, seemingly coming out of nowhere. Broli stabilized before hitting the ground and shot an invisible blast at Piccolo, blowing him a hundred meters back.
F.Trunks: " BURNING ATTACK! "
Broli didn?t block the beam coming his way and, once hit, his body started glowing.
Broli: " Baka! You can?t stop my Echo Blaster. "
Then, an echo of F.Trunks?s attack resounded, and Broli released all the energy of the attack that had hit him. It was like Broli had bounced the Burning Attack back at F.Trunks, but added some of his own power. F.Trunks instantly produced the Barrier around him and was unaffected. Vegita then launched a new attack, punching him up in the air, then he spun around him while punching like crazy, kicked him back to the ground and ended the combo with a Big Bang Attack...that instantly came back his way! He couldn?t avoid it and was blown a few dozens of meters back by the force of the impact. He got up, smiling.
Vegita(to himself): " Nice move. I didn?t expect that at all. "
Broli(smiling cruelly): " I heard that. And I?m glad you enjoyed. "
Piccolo then appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Broli from behind with his arms. He stretched his arms and legs, curling them around Broli?s body and charged himself up with electricity. Broli was shocked, but resisted the attack. He charged up, knocking Piccolo away. Gotenks finally got back up, but Broli dashed toward him, unleashing a flurry of kicks. Gotenks couldn?t block, and Broli ended his combo with a devastating punch that sent two bodies flying. Two! His punch was so powerful it had split the two warriors apart from their own fusion! The two boys were out now, period. Gohan then attacked with a flurry of punches and F.Trunks took this opportunity to take Goten and Trunks? bodies to the time machine. As he came back, he saw that Gohan was getting machine-gunned the same way he had attacked. Vegita knocked Broli away with a well timed kick, giving enough time to Gohan to get up and jump back, but as he was looking for his enemy, he received a knee on the head that pushed him through the ground. F.Trunks decided to help, preparing a powerful Finish Buster. Piccolo, who was close to him, saw what he was doing.
Piccolo: " Trunks, stop! He?ll just throw it back at you! "
F.Trunks lost his concentration for a second and couldn?t dodge the Eraser Canon Broli had shot his way. (Note: Broli?s Eraser Canon is shot with the arm, not from the mouth like Rikkum.) F.Trunks didn?t have time to start a Barrier and was badly damaged by the blast. He jumped back to momentarily get out of harm?s way. Vegita jumped in and landed a Super Dash combo that knocked Broli away. He then flew high over him to use the gravity and his power to accelerate his fall, ki-powered-fist first. Broli got it in the stomach and shouted in pain.
Vegita(to his comrades): " I told you you couldn?t defeat him without me. "
Broli: " You?re right, you know. "
Broli took this moment to dash at Vegita, pounding him with a few fast punches then following by an even faster flurry of punches that Vegita could only take.
Gohan: " KAMEHAMEHA! "
The attack was so fast Broli didn?t shoot it back and was forced to block it by using his ki. Vegita dashed away from him.
Vegita: " Bakemono! "
Broli: " I?m more than a monster. I?M HELL!!!! "
Broli: " THROWING BLASTER!!!! "
The blast was so fast Vegita had to ki-block it, but he was blown back by the impact. He looked like he couldn?t believe it. If he hadn?t blocked it...
Vegita: " K...kusooooo! Masaka! How can he be so strong!? "
Broli: " It?s about to get far worse if you stay here. I?m starting to get bored. "
Gohan dashed at him from behind, trying to catch him by surprise, but Broli simply extended him arm behind him and grabbed Gohan?s face without even looking. Still holding his head, Broli punched Gohan twice in the stomach then smashed his face on the ground and finally, threw him away. Gohan landed heavily on the ground, but he wasn?t out yet, struggling to get back up. Broli didn?t move. He just waited until Vegita tried a combo. He blocked the hits, but Vegita was soon joined by Piccolo and Broli jumped away. He was still very calm, though, as if all attacks had done him nothing. Meanwhile, Gohan, although in bad shape, had been able to get up, F.Trunks stepped out of the battlefield and Piccolo and Vegita were the only ones left standing to face the monster. Piccolo was looking worried while Vegita was totally enraged. But he smiled and dashed toward Broli with a glowing fist. Broli blocked, then was banged on each side of the head by a couple of knees. Goten and Trunks then hopped down, douple-punched Broli in the stomach and double-uppercutted him with glowing fists that dropped Broli to the ground.
Broli: " Kuso! "
Trunks: " Nothing like team work, eh? "
Goten: " Still with you, Trunks! "
The two boys had returned, to everyone?s surprise. Vegita had tried to gain the attention of Broli while they were setting up their attack.
Broli: " Very good, or...surprising, should I say. But I must also say that I?ve had enough. Time to put an end to this little game. "
Vegita didn?t give any attention to Broli and concentrated on his attack. As he was about to hit his opponent, he was blown back. Broli had started charging up. Vegita gave a quick look to Goten and Trunks, visually telling them to triple-attack Broli at the same time. As they started their move, Piccolo guessed their little plan and prepared an energy attack. Vegita, Goten and Trunks dashed as one toward their enemy and tried a triple punch attack, but Broli was unaffected, still charging up. Goten and Trunks slowly moved back, looking at Broli powering up, but Vegita kept punching...ineffectively. Seeing this, Piccolo dropped his ki attack. Everyone but Vegita saw that the monster had become SSJ3 and was still gaining more and more power.
Vegita: " I won?t let you... "
Broli was still powering up, not bothered by Vegita?s constant attacks and finally, he broke the barrier. Broli?s hair shortened. They were back to SSJ1 length, but they had become bright red now and Broli was surrounded by a skin tight red aura, his yellow aura still blazing a few inches from him. This was it. This was...it had to be, even though it was thought to be impossibl e, it had to be...
Broli: " Behold, puny insects! Behold the power, the might, the strength, the cataclysmic feeling emanating from me...the legendary Super Saiyajin 4!!!!! "
