The North and West Kais were pacing back and forth on the North Kai's planet.
"You sure you got that Goku and not someone else?" The shorter of the two Kais glared at his peer. "Ofcourse I'm sure! What do you take me for? Goku just said something about his wife wanting him to finish building the shed for their new car. I swear, one day that woman will be the cause for the end of all life and when that happens I'll go down to Enma's personally and make sure she gets sent to hell!"
"Send who to hell?" The familiar voice belonged to a young looking male standing behind the North Kai. For a second the king froze in terror, fearing Goku might have heard him condemn ChiChi to hell, but then he remembered that unlike normal people, Goku was serious whenever he asked this question and would have no idea of what had just been said. "Oh nothing, don't worry about it," the North Kai sniggered awkwardly, then thanked his lucky star that there was someone bringing chaos and destruction to the Northern galaxy, a perfect way to change the topic.
"Can you sense that being yet? He's getting dangerously close to planet Earth."
Goku looked around, trying to find the best spot to search for this mysterious threat. He took a few steps away from the other Kais, not being as proficient in long-range ki sensing as they were. The Saiyan closed his eyes and tried to sense a large force in the galaxy. The first power he sensed was Cell's, who was still waiting at his arena. Goku expanded his search area and soon he'd located all his friends on Earth. Quickly he searched even further. Within seconds he'd picked up on an enormous power level heading for Earth.
"Is that all?" Goku's question had a rather disappointed tone to it. "That guy is somewhere inbetween mine and Vegeta's power levels... His power is impressive, but Cell is a far greater threat. Hey... This is odd.. Why did he stop?"
The Kais, still shocked by Goku's disappointment, could sense it too. The threat had ceased moving. "He's landed on a planet, still a fair distance away from Earth. Maybe he's recovering from using his own energy to fly to our planet?"
The Kais shook their heads almost simultaneously. "I'm afraid not, Goku... We've been keeping track of this guy for a while now, he's never once stopped. Even this much energy spent on holding up a barrier and flying at such a high speed doesn't seem to wear him down at all! He might not have a higher power level than you or Cell, but he's what power he has got, he seems to have a nigh-limitless amount of. But I wonder why he suddenly decided to stop."
"Maybe he wasn't heading for Earth at all, but that planet instead," Goku suggested.
"No, I have a feeling this guy is heading for Earth still, that planet's never had anything of interest, there's not even-" The North Kai froze. He sensed another power level, very similar to the attacker's in size. "Do you guys sense that too? It feels like... Like Frieza!"
On the planet the trio were spying on, the tall Saiyan had just detected the other's presence as well. It didn't feel familiar, but it was the highest he'd ever encountered. This wasn't Vegeta, but he would be a nice practice dummy. The giant smirked and headed for the source of the power. Before long he could see a spaceship in the distance. Its circular design looked vaguely familiar to him. He flew closer to take a better look. He didn't bother to surpress his power level, confident in his abilities. Before he could reach the craft, a hatch opened and from it a purple reptilian creature emerged. The Saiyan tilted his head, remembering a past conversation he had as a kid.
He'd once asked his friend, the young Saiyan prince, what Frieza looked like, since only the royal family was permitted to have an audience with the emperor. Vegeta smirked and said Frieza looked like a small pink lizard, he didn't look very strong and Vegeta and his father always had to travel up to his spaceship, which looked like a big round disk.
"Frieza?" The Saiyan must have been within earshot, as the reptilian creature seemed to flinch and faded from sight, only to reappear right in front of the giant. "What did you call me?! Do not confuse me with my pathetic little brother!"
The Saiyan smirked. For a second he was worried his information of Vegeta having killed Lord Frieza being incorrect, but if this was Frieza's sibling, not to mention a stronger sibling, he would make for a nice test of his power.
"So... Frieza's your sibling? Good..." Broly laughed and punched the alien in the chest, sending him flying backwards into his own ship, wrecking the landing gear.
Within an instant the entire ship exploded, the sound of the explosion just barely masking the screams of agony of the crewmen aboard the ship. In the crater stood the same creature, though it seemed to have assumed a different shape. It had grown taller, to the Saiyan's heigh, with a "helmet" and "armor" formed by his body to cover his head and torso. Spikes protruded from the helmet, forming a sort of crown around the alien's head.
"How dare you punch the great Coola?! I'll make you pay, worm!"
Broly felt a little disturbed. He wasn't very good at estimating power levels, but if his instincts were right this Coola was now stronger than he was. Broly braced himself as his enemy charged towards him. At the last second he lashed out and aimed a punch for the alien's head. To his shock what he ended up punching was just Coola's after image. From behind the real Coola appeared behind him and kicked the side of Broly's head, sending him flying into the opposite direction, crashing through an entire mountain.
The rubble
collapsed on top of the mighty Saiyan, whose head was spinning. He
had never been hurt like this, this kind of pain was a strange
feeling to him. Thoughts raced through his head. His mental
representation of Vegeta killing Frieza, his friendship with the
Saiyan prince, the betrayal, the possibility of him not being able to
get his revenge.
"No!" The rocks and boulders piled on top of
him were reduced to dust as lightning struck it. The Saiyan rose to
his feet, his fists clenched tightly.
Coola was surprised to see this. He hadn't expected his adversary, who was already a Super Saiyan, to get such a second wind. At least he was able to draw confidence from the knowledge that Saiyans cannot get stronger than Super Saiyan.
And yet... Broly's power level skyrocketed, though Coola was unable to sense it. The dust around him swirled up into a tornado as lightning struck the very area Broly was standing. Letting out a bestial roar the Super Saiyan became engulfed in light, forcing the changeling to cover his eyes to avoid being blinded. When he opened them again, the Saiyan who stood before him looked different. The muscles on his body were bulging and seemed to have at least doubled in size, his hair was more spiked and his eyes had gone completely white, almost seeming to glow.
"So the monkey got a little bigger... Didn't anyone teach you muscles that big would only slow you do-" Broly's massive fist dug into Coola's stomach, knocking the breath out of him. Before the alien could get knocked away, Broly grabbed his ankle and slammed him head first into the ground. "I'm sorry, what was that?" The Saiyan laughed and hurled the stunned Coola into the air, only to punch it and send it flying. He dashed after him, hurling energy blasts at Coola's body. When it finally crashed through enough surroundings to come to a halt. Letting out an angered cry the emperor rose to his feet, turning to face Broly, who was standing behind him, his arms crossed triumphantly.
"Don't... Think you've beaten me yet, ape!" Coola raised his right hand to the sky and started gathering energy above it, in the shape of a ball that rapidly increased in size.
"You
think you're so strong? Try catching this!"
The energy being
stored in the orb was enough to disrupt the weather, as dark clouds
gathered around it. The force of this blast was enough to wipe out
the planet and everything on it in a matter of seconds, making
Frieza's signature Death Ball attacks look like peanuts. Broly
sensed the enormous destructive power of the attack and braced
himself, intending to take Coola up on his challenge.
"You fool! Send my regards to my brother when you reach hell!"
Coola hurled the ball at Broly, who only laughed as he stretched out one hand to 'catch' it.
At King Kai's planet Goku, King Kai and the West Kai had been following the fight intently, all three had noticed the outrageous increases to both fighters' power level, easily putting them in Cell's league. Before any of them could comment though, one of the powers vanished completely. The planet had been destroyed.
