Last time on Generic Opening Z!
Broly has made his appearance. Trunks may have beaten Bojack, but not he has a whole new mess to deal with! With a bag of Senzu beans and three androids benched at the sidelines, does Trunks stand a chance? Find out. . . now! Ohhhhh myyyyyyy nooooooo.
Curb Stomp
"So, let's put on some bets. How long will he last?" 17 asked the others.
"What could you possibly have to bet with?" she replied.
16 interrupted. "Trunks' fighting power is currently lower than Broly's by a factor of 0.9. However, Broly seems to be using a lower level of Super Saiyan and is using more raw power." His eyes lit as he analyzed the situation. "Broly has power, but Trunks has the speed advantage."
17 chuckled. "Interesting. . ."
Trunks ducked a jab, elbowing Broly's gut and pushing him back a few feet. The taller saiyan brought his fist down, but Trunks brought his block up, straining to hold the hit back. Broly threw a second punch. Trunks ducked onto the ground below it, sweeping one of his legs out. Trunks slid back, launching a blast into Broly. The brute powers through it send his own green energy ball at Trunks.
Catching the ball, it pushes Trunks along the ground through several streets and buildings. Pushing up, he throws it into the sky before it exploded. Looking forward, a second blast was already coming. The entire area lit green and exploded. Broly looked up as Trunks appeared above the crater unharmed. "MASENKO, HA!"
Broly clasped his hands as he smacked them both against the blast. A small struggle occurred as he knocked it away before he launched larger green ball. "Eraser Cannon!"
Trunks answered with his own ball. "Burning Attack!" The two spheres of energy connect and explode, taking half the city with it.
They meet in the smoke, clashing forearm to forearm before starting a strike exchange. Broly catches Trunks' fist, then the other. He pulls Trunks in, connecting his knee into the smaller saiyan's gut. Trunks pulls back, then in, knocking heads with Broly. Having his grip loosened, Broly loses Trunks' arms.
Trunks then grasps both Broly's wrists and bring both feet up. He dropkicks the legendary saiyan away, into the ground. The large warrior lands feet first, getting angrier. Trunks charges down as the two both throw a punch, each hitter the others jaw. Each is thrown in the direction of the others previous punch.
Trunks flips to his feet as Broly skids to a halt. Broly starts firing blasts. Trunks leaps up over the first and sends one back. His blast detonates on Broly's aura. A second blast homes on Trunks, who dashes to the side to a building, firing another blast back and getting the same response. Trunks ducks a third blast. After images a fourth.
He appears on the ground charging a purple colored attack at his side. He charges Broly as the monster sends another Eraser Cannon. Trunks ducks into a slide under the large attack. "Galick Gun. . ." He halts just under broly. "FIRE!"
His attack launches Broly into the sky.
Back with the androids. . . .
"Well, Trunks is certainly on fire." 17 was impressed.
"As long as he keeps Broly engaged. He holds the advantage." 16 commented. "However, Trunks is using far too many energy attacks to compete with Broly's vast reserves. He won't last much longer."
"Which is why I have these." 17 holds up Trunks' bag of Sensu Beans.
"You took them?!" 18 accused.
He shrugged it off. "From what I hear, every time a bag this big comes around, they always take it into combat and it gets shot. It's for safe keeping."
Another large explosion catches their attention. Trunks is launched into a building with two blasts following him in. The structure explodes, but Trunks charges back. He elbows Broly. He ducks a punch as he kickes Broly's leg out, bringing the legendary saiyan to his knee. Trunks spins around him, clasping his hands together and knocking him away.
Trunks charges another technique. "MASENKO!" He launches the attack after Broly, gaining another large explosion. He hunches over, breathing heavily. "Alright. . . I can do this." He reached down, but felt nothing. "What?! Where is it?"
Barely detecting a whooshing noise, he turns to catch a Senzu Bean. He looks up to the androids seeing 17 holding the bag. "Ugh! Can't tell them to do anything." He eats the bean, immediately powering up to full.
As soon as he's powered up, Broly erupts from under the ground, punching Trunks away. Broly chased him down, unleashing a barrage of punches. The SS2 blocked each attack with great effort, speeding away. Trunks lands on a building, gathering power. "FINAL FLA-"
Broly clasps his hands against Trunks', a green glow overpowering the yellow of Trunks' attack. Both attacks explode in the users' faces.
Trunks appears on ground level, holding his hand up, palm facing behind him. He catches a second Senzu bean, having already taken damage. I can't afford to be the injured one in this fight. One crunch and his power is back. He finds Broly up above him, almost completely unharmed. How much damage can that bastard take?!
Broly powers up a litter more, his muscles briefly pump up. Broly charges down at Trunks, who meets him half way. One large hit and Trunks is knocked across the city. He flips and recovers mid air, looking up to see Broly on him again. The giant punches through an after image, Trunks appearing behind him. "HA!" He releases all his power into one blast point blank.
The light blinds the androids above as they watch it subside. They find Broly standing exactly where he was before, now with a full green energy shield around his aura. Broly powers up further. Trunks charges in for a punch, which Broly tilts his head to dodge it. Broly's fist crushes into Trunks' face, sending the demi-saiyan into the city rubble.
"Trunks has lost the advantage." 16 state.
18 calls over. "17!"
"Right. Senzu Bean number four." He tosses it into the fray, Trunks catching it.
"Each time he takes one, his power increases further than before, but not enough to keep up with Broly's increases." 16 analyzes.
Trunks crunches the bean down. "Try this again!" He takes his stance. Puts his absolute power into it He draws his sword as he holds his hand out for another bean. He begins slashing his sword, releasing massive energy slashes through the air at Broly. Upon finishing, his power drains him to normal, but he pops the bean in. He reignites into SS2, firing his God Breaker attack after his slashes with his offhand.
The slashes hit the growing energy shield, opening it enough for the beam behind the slashes to break through, hitting Broly.
Did I stop him? Then he felt the power, making him shake a bit. ". . . Not even close."
The debris cleared, revealing Broly at full power. He was still screaming out, releasing energy that tinted the sky a sickly green.
Trunks charges, sword in hand, at Broly. See if this works. He swings his blade, only for Broly to catch it. He struggles to pull the blade away, but Broly snaps the blade off the hilt. EVERY TIME!
Broly, holding the blade, slashes Trunks across the chest. Before the blood even falls, Broly hooks Trunks deep into the city, destroying several buildings.
"17!" 18 yells.
"Come on!" 17 answers. Both prepare to charge in.
"Wait." 16 pauses them with that. "Trunks may decide to detonate the planet soon. We should give him one more bean, then make a retreat."
Below, Trunks rips himself from the rubble, staggered and almost tripping over himself. Pulling his hand from his chest, he finds it covered in blood. "Guess its time." He coughs up blood before looking up. Broly continues charging his power.
He barely reacts when a Senzu bean hits his face. He picks it up from the ground, crunching it. Number 7. A surge on energy powers him up as his wound heals.
Now SS2 again, he flies into the air. "Time to do this." He looks at the charging legendary super saiyan. He shuts his eyes with his hands up. "SOLAR FLARE!" Once the technique subsides, he begins charging his signature.
He aims it down. Time to do this! "Burning Attack!" He sends a large ball down towards the ground. He glares up to where Broly was. Die you bast- Broly roars with power, sending off blasts of energy in all directions. Trunks looks down as several of the random blasts hit his attack. FUCK! His attack detonates before hitting the ground.
Broly starts to see again, finding Trunks in the air, stunned. He fires off a ball at the boy. "Omega Blaster!"
Trunks barely snaps out from his stunned state to react, catching the blast. However, it expands to a gigantic size, engulfing him before exploding.
Trunks opened his eyes, seeing the sky and Broly powering up, destroying everything with random blasts. He tried to move. He couldn't. He was in his base form again. He couldn't hardly see before his vision blacked out.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Don't tell me that's all you got? Trunks' eyes snapped open. He looked around at nothing but darkness. Don't tell me I trained you all those years for you to go on a suicide mission. An amused and familiar voice filled his hearing.
"Gohan?" He looked around, finding, indeed, his master. Who now has both his arms again.
"Hey there!" He waved at Trunks. "I see you've been doing great! Until the last few minutes, that is."
Trunks looked down in shame. "I can't beat him. Nothing I do will work. It's the androids all over again. I can't even die and take him with me."
There was a moment of silence. Trunks almost thought Gohan had disappeared again. "Coward." Trunks snapped to attention. He looked Gohan in the eye, who stared calmly back. "It's what your father would say, and seeing that he can't talk to you, I guess I'll have to."
"What do you mean?"
Gohan chuckled. "Well? Let's take an example into account, me. I believed that even though I would die against the androids, I could at least take them with me and leave you in a better world. The end result was that I died trying to use my death as a gain, and it ended up as a loss." He then got serious. "Suicide missions are NOT the way we do things." He brightened again. "Speaking of my death, nice choice of friends lately."
Trunks winced at the topic. "Not my choice. I can't forgive them for what they did. I mean, don't you feel the same?"
Gohan thought about it for a second. "Well, let's see. My best friend through childhood was a green demon known as the worst homicidal ruler in history. Not to mention, those two ARE fighting to keep you alive right now."
Trunks gasped. "What?!"
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
18 slams all fours on the ground before leaping left to dodge Broly stomping on her. He blasts her before she can react, which plants her into the wall of a ruined building. Before she even moves, he rams her through and launches her out the other side.
Over with Trunks, 17 lands and prepares a bean for him. "Down to 4." He pulls one out and smirks. Out of nowhere, Broly clotheslines 17 away, making the bean drop beside Trunks' unconscious body.
17 skids to a halt, taking a fighting stance as Broly rushes him. 17 barely jumps over him and spin kicks the side of Broly's head. His head hardly moves as he eyes 17. His fist plants into the androids gut.
17 drops to the ground, out of breath, gasping for air. Broly holds his hand up to destroy him before a pair of arms wrap Broly. He turns to see 16. 18 lands with 17 as they both charge, unleashing a barrage of punches on Broly, who, while affected, hardly shows reaction. After a few seconds he grunts in annoyance and roars, blasting all three away.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
"Yeah. They sure look evil these days." Gohan said, chuckling.
Trunks looked annoyed. "You're one of the ones they killed. You don't feel any hatred?"
Gohan seemed to think a moment. ". . . No. I was always too forgiving. Almost more so than dad."
"I noticed in the past timeline." Trunks muttered.
Gohan locks eyes with Trunks. "You need to get up. You need to stop Broly."
"How?"
Gohan pointed behind Trunks before his image disappeared. Trunks turned around surprised.
Goku smiled wide at him. "HEY! Nice to meet you, finally."
Trunks seemed confused. "Oh right. I met you in the past. It's good to see you. Wait, what is it that you're gonna show me?"
Goku chuckles, excited. "Just pay attention to all the details. Watch closely."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
16 hits the ground, no arms on him. His circuits showed. 17 and 18 crashed into the wall of a building, bouncing off and hitting the ground. They struggled hard to stand and powered up two attacks. The blasts fire and hit Broly, who walks through them, smirking. Her grips them both by the throat and slams them back into the wall.
"I'm tired of dealing with weaklings. Just die already." Seeing the Senzu bean bag on 17, he sets it on fire with energy from his eyes.
17 chuckled, despite being choked. "Huh. It DOES happen every time."
18 coughs up some blood. "Not the time, 17."
Broly's hands glow with energy until a blast hits Broly from behind. He dropped the androids, who stare at the attacker. Broly turns with a smile to see Trunks crunching on the last bean that landed by him. Trunks' power returns as he goes SS2 once more with electricity flowing around him.
Broly chuckled. "Again?"
Trunks smiled back, wiping blood from his mouth. "This won't be the same. Trust me." He tosses off the remains of his jacket. "I notice that you haven't attained any new levels of Super Saiyan over the years. I wonder why that is."
Broly tilted his head. "We've met before? I wasn't aware of any mistakes I made to not kill you."
Trunks disregarded that. "See. Different levels of super saiyan require deeper and deeper levels of emotion and loosened restraints. You on the other hand, only operate on the same level." Trunks smiled. "This is the power of ascension!" The ground shatters along with all the still standing buildings left in the city.
Trunks screams out with a massive release of power. His power fires up higher, and higher, and higher. His muscles strain and veins start popping out at the stress. The green tint of the landscape turns yellow as light pouts out from Trunks, his screams becoming louder and more high pitched.
His hair spikes up with more intensive spikes before is starts extending. It keeps getting longer and longer, as lightning sparks around the battlefield.
"Wow. . ." 18 barely gets out.
"Insane." 17 comments
The light starts to recede as lightning circles around Trunks, his hair down to his lower back in golden spikes. Trunks' voice grows rough as he talks. "This, I guess, is Super Saiyan 3." He glares at Broly, who smiles back.
"Oh, impressive, but I'm still more powerful."
"In raw power, perhaps." Trunks says. "Otherwise." Trunks vanishes. His knee appears in Broly's face launching him through the rubble and craters before he comes to a stop. 17 and 18 stagger, standing up next to Trunks. The double ascended saiyan had one thing to say. "Now, round 2."
Power has erupted! It seems the super saiyan pool never has a bottom! Can Trunks defeat the legendary super saiyan with this new found power? Let's find out next time, on DRAGON BALL Z!
