Krillen whimpered. "What the hell do we do now?" He asked. Goku sighed, trying to hide his nervousness. "I'll go. I should have gone from the beginning. Besides, it was me he was after from the beginning." Celdric stepped in. "No. He's mine." He said. Celdric glanced to the sky. At Broly. Clouds had begun to form. Already there was a slight trickle, which soon transformed to a thundering downpour. Celdric's black hair was plastered to his head. His grey eyes, boiled like the storm above him.
Without a word, he started to float to the sky. Celdric stopped once he was level with Broly. "You are my next victim?" Broly asked, grinning wickedly. Celdric just glared at him, while he started to get soaked. "This ends now, Broly." He said. Broly grinned. "Let the fight commence," he cackled. As soon as he finished his sentence, Celdric disappeared. Broly continued to grin like a child who just found out he was going to get his favourite toy, unworried by Celdric.
His happy expression transformed to a look of surprised rage, when Celdric brought his fist down on Broly's head. He brought his knee around, spinning, into Broly's face, sending him flying backwards. Before he could fly far, Celdric reached out and seized his foot.
With a grunt, he started to spin, faster and faster, twirling around. With a shout, he let go of Broly, who sped towards the sky. Celdric glanced up towards the flying Broly, and raised his hand. With a grunt he shot a small blue Ki blast at Broly. The fighters below gaped and cheered. "This is crazy!" Piccolo gasped. "He's not even a Super Saiyan!" Uub looked over. "How do you know he's a Saiyan?" Piccolo smiled. "I can tell by his power level. Also I've been around Saiyan's for most of my life. I know what they smell like." Uub shrugged, nodding in agreement, before turning back to the fight.
Through the smoke, Broly came speeding, roaring. He bellowed, incoherent, as he launched punches at Celdric, who dodged or blocked, keeping up. "Look!" Gohan shouted, pointing. "Broly actually looks hurt!" True enough, Broly had scratches, along his body. "If he's that strong, then he better finish off Broly now!" Roran shouted.
As if hearing them, Celdric turned the tide of the fight. Every other blow he threw, landed, and caused Broly damage. Broly never needed to block punches or attacks, but now he desperately needed to, and he wasn't very good at it. Celdric smirked as he rammed punch after punch at Broly's unprotected stomach, causing him to cough up blood. In the middle of his assault on Broly's stomach, Celdric effortlessly transformed into a Super Saiyan. Electricity cackled around him, signalling his sudden Super Saiyan 2 transformation. Broly roared, powering up, trying to stop Celdric. Celdric backed off, floating away slowly.
"Oh, what's wrong?" He asked. "You wanted to fight me just a moment ago!" Broly snarled, lunging towards him. Just before Broly's hands closed around Celdric, he disappeared. Broly gaped, then bellowed. "His power!" Gotex shouted. "It's sky rocketing!" Goku stepped back horrified, preparing to take flight. However, there was no need. Celdric appeared behind Broly, his leg implanted in Broly's back. Broly shrieked in pain, and spun, to try and catch Celdric. Broly threw a fist at Celdric, green energy cackling around it. Celdric glared at Broly as he raised his left hand and caught Broly's incoming fist. Broly made a surprised face, before roaring, pushing harder.
Celdric held his expression, but started to power up, electricity sparks, dancing around him. Lighting flashed around them, illuminating the two titans of power. Celdric narrowed his eyes, as he started to tighten his fist around Broly's. Broly snarled, but didn't back down. Even from down below, Goku could hear the shattering of bones. Broly looked startled, and brought his leg around to kick Celdric's face, who effortlessly caught it with his free hand. Broly growled. Celdric's expression hardened as he brought both Broly's leg and hand down, bringing his knee up, into Broly's face. Broly's neck snapped back, blood pouring freely from his nose. He staggered back, floating, then let out a huge roar, before raising his hands to the rain. A huge green Ki expanded around his hands.
"Feel that energy!" Gohan breathed. "If we don't do something he'll destroy the planet more then ten times with that energy!" Broly snarled and flung the huge Ki attack at Celdric, who faced it, his face impassive. At the last moment, with a grunt, he kicked it, upwards. A moment of struggle, and it is flung into the pouring rain, into space.
"Finish him!" Raditz shouted. Celdric raised a lazy hand, though his expression rock hard. A gold energy ball started to form. Broly roared, and started to power up. "What's happening!" Gotex shouted. Before his question was answered, Celdric released his Ki blast. With a shout, hit grew to massive size, completely engulfing Broly in its gold cocoon. Broly screamed, in pure agony and rage. Through the shimmer and brightness of Celdric's attack, Gotex could barely see Broly changing. Before he could see anything more, Broly gave on last scream, before disintegrating.
Vegeta gazed at Celdric, above, slightly unnerved but doing well to disguise it. Who is he? Vegeta thought furiously. He just destroyed a Super Saiyan 4 Broly, as just a Super Saiyan 2! Fighters every cheered, at the defeat of Broly.
"I thought we were gonna be goners!" Jeice shouted. Piccolo silence everyone. "Now, we get one whole day of training, and relaxation!" He thundered. "Don't waste it!" As he spoke a figure could be seen rising from the ground. It was Taroas. He alighted on the Lookout, and glanced around, assessing the situation.
"That was quite a fight," he said, bowing to them. "What are you doing here you scum!" Gotex snarled, powering to Super Saiyan 2. "Easy!" Goku said, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. Gotex looked rebellious, and glanced to Vegeta. The Saiyan Prince nodded in agreement, for Gotex to stand down. Gotex powered down to his base form, looking crestfallen. Taroas cocked his head at him. "As I was saying. I'm here to congratulate you, on your…victory." Taroas smirked. Piccolo started, as a thought struck his head.
"You knew Broly wouldn't destroy us all!" He accused. "You just wanted him to pick off some of our best fighters!" Taroas shrugged. "I had some ideas, but those are behind us now! I'm here to invite two of you-scratch that, three of you, to a little break. There will be food, refreshment, and on my honour, no harm shall befall you." Taroas said, bowing again. "Piccolo frowned. "Who?" Taroas straightened and smiled. "Prince Vegeta." He said nodding towards Vegeta. "The legendary Goku." He continued, bowing at Goku, who scratched his head, smiling. Finally he turned to Roran. "And you, young one." Roran pointed a finger at himself, stunned. "Me?" Taroas nodded.
"And why do you want him?" Gotex asked, angrily. "I'm stronger! I'm of royal blood!" Taroas looked at him in irritation. "First of all, I have no need for you. Second of all, check your senses, you might be surprised." Gotex rocked back, as if slapped. "HOW DARE YOU ASSUME HE'S STRONGER! I AM PRINCE GOTEX! THE GREAT PRINCE VEGETA IS MY GRANDFATHER!" He shouted, powering to his max. He leapt at Taroas, his fist raised. "Die fool!" He spat. Taroas looked at him, bored. Before Gotex reached him, he staggered back, his eyes glazed. He sank to his knees, clutching his stomach in obvious pain. He jerkily raised his head, and spat, "How….Did you…" he sank to his hands. "You think a weak attack like that will keep me down?" He snarled, trying to rise to his feet.
"Maybe this will." Taroas smirked, appeared above the fallen Gotex. With earth shattering force, he brought his elbow onto Gotex's back. Gotex raised his head, his eyes glazed, his mouth open, but only empty air came out. With a thump he slumped to the ground, unconscious. Taroas floated back to his spot, everyone stunned. "Why did you do that?" Goku demanded, angry. "He was just a kid!" Taroas flicked his hand.
"If I didn't deal with him now, he would've annoyed me all day with his insane babbling." Everyone remained silent, but Roran. "But he's right! He's stronger then me!" Taroas peered at Roran. "No, child. It was close, but you are the one I would like to speak to. Besides, I only have room for four at my dinner table, so if I had also chosen him, someone would have to sit on a stool, which in my opinion, is a glorious misfortune." Roran blinked. "I'm stronger?" Taroas nodded, and sighed. "Now, come my friends." He turned, preparing to jump down, but was stopped by Vegeta's voice. "Stop clown! How dare you assume I will do what you want! None of us are coming down, so forget it, cretin!" Taroas turned and sighed. "What I have to offer might be of some importance to you Vegeta." Vegeta's eyes widened. "Oh, so now you are trying to bribe ME? The Saiyan Prince will bow to no one!" Vegeta raised his palm to face-level at Taroas. "Now get moving, before I re-model your face." Taroas smiled, and stepped off the edge of the Lookout.
"Did you read his mind?" Goku asked Piccolo who frowned. "There's something wrong. When I entered his mind, I only heard one word whispered over and over." "What word?" Goku asked. Piccolo frowned, and glanced down after Taroas.
"Obey."
