(Continuing From Where The Last Chapter Left Off On The Ice Continent. . .)
"Urghh. . .I swear, being near the blast zone really sucks. I can't even see a thing,"
Kuzuku coughed a bit before finally glancing around. The surrounding area was covered in nothing but ash and smoke that continued to rise due to the air currently going upwards. As far as he knew, the last thing he saw was a blinding flash of light before everything went blank as he was forced to shield his eyes while flying back a bit to at least not get caught in the explosion. Other than that, he was most certainly sure about one thing which worried him. The cause of the explosion was Broly. . .that was a fact in its truest form. He waited in silence, his focus on trying to sense whether or not his comrades were alive or worse. . .
He shook his head at the thought and frowned, his ears ignoring the sound of water raging below him that was most likely melted away by Broly's burst of power, "Come on. . .I gotta stay positive here! Now, where are they?" His eyes wondered for a bit all the while the smoke began to clear around him.
Soon enough, the first thing he could see was the now massive and widespread lake that was formed around him. The primal Saiyan was slightly shocked at first though he kept his eyes moving until he noticed something a little odd. He focused in, his body instinctively leaning forward to get a better look. Catching his sights, he could see a thick layer of ice floating in the middle of the lake. It was barren with no one seemingly resting on it until a hand shot up from the waters and latched onto it. Quickly, the owner propped himself up to reveal a familiar dark blue hair that was not drenched with water while dragging something behind him. He groaned, forcing his knee onto the platform before finally mustering the strength to pull up another person with all too notable hair.
As they both laid themselves on top of the ice, Kuzuku could feel his face brighten a little in relief, "There they are. . ." Without hesitation, the primal Saiyan flew down to meet them, his feet almost touching the ground too quickly as the ice rocked back and forth a little.
Regardless, he jogged over to his exhausted comrades and knelt down to help Zugo off his back a bit, "You two alright? That looked like one hell of an explosion, especially since it caused all this damage."
"We're fine. . .to think that I went from waking up and running errands for my wife to fighting-ngh! That. . .monster. . .," Zugo groaned.
Kuzuku nodded as he couldn't agree more, "That makes the both of us, I really thought today was just going to be a good training day." With that said, Kuzuku noticed Gohan shift a little, his muffled groans barely audible. Kuzuku could see the noticeable bruises and burns that tattered his clothes. His shirt was blown almost clean off with one half hanging loosely over his left shoulder while his pants might as well be considered shorts at this state. That aside, the half-breed was most certainly unconscious.
"He's knocked out. . ." Kuzuku muttered
"Yeah but. . .it's impressive," Zugo noted, gaining the Saiyan's attention, "He was the closest person in front of the blast's radius and he's only knocked out. If I had to say, if I was as close as he was I would have died right there."
His eyes widened at the Astackian's little comment before looking down at Gohan in surprise. Despite the obvious injuries, Kuzuku could faintly sense that he was indeed very much alive though it was weak. Though, that did beg the question. . ., "Just what kind of training have you been doing Gohan? Are you trying to find that power again?" He thought back to the last battle between Universe 7 and 11.
He could recall the fights as vividly as he could. The desperation of everyone's faces as they fought against what seemed to be unbeatable forces of nature. A God of Destruction Candidate, A Merciless Enforcer Whose Use Of Potential Was Beyond Logic and The Mortal with strength that even outclasses his own God of Destruction. However, despite that, Kuzuku couldn't help but recall Gohan's transformation back then when he was up against Toppo. The power he felt and the Ki he emitted was something so unique to him that he couldn't quite put his finger on it but one thing was for sure: his former master was an amazing fighter in his own right. Even now, he just showed off a technique that even had someone such as Broly on his toes for a bit while also using it in tangent with Zugo's technique. That in mind. . .
"Hehheh. . .," Kuzuku chuckled, his legs hoisting him up onto his feet while Zugo watched with a blank expression. The primal Saiyan turned his back to the vast lake in front of him. The wind blew fiercely though it was only momentarily before he spoke, "You two really are awesome, you know? Thanks to you, we still have a chance."
"Oh. . .? We still have like 3 minutes left. In that amount of time: what are you going to do by yourself?" Zugo smirked.
Kuzuku chuckled, "I think you can already guess it. Though, I'm not sure what'll happen to me if I overdo it this time." The Astackian laughed weakly a bit before extending his fist out to him in encouragement. His smile was evident despite the pain that was currently washing all over his body.
"Then give him the worst 3 minutes of his life for me, will yah?" Zugo quietly requested with a smug smirk.
The primal warrior stood for a moment before nodding silent. Without a word, he walked forward a few steps before taking off into the air towards the direction where he felt Broly's Ki signature as the Astackian watched him leave. He let out a mused huffed, silenting wishing the Saiyan luck for what was about to occur. As Kuzuku flew through the air, he looked around before noticing an enormous crater that was incredibly deep as water seemed to flow down into the hole almost endlessly. However, the primal Saiyan's eyes were only focused on one particular thing in the center of the sink-hole. A small yet powerful glowing green light that illuminated the bottom of the a hole as it began to gradually rise higher into the air.
His eyes narrowed in focus as he could now clearly see Broly's large form oozing off an even more sinister aura. From what he could tell, the wild instincts that the enraged Super Saiyan below were most certainly reflecting his power even more now. They were lucky that the whole planet was incinerated from the explosion but thanks to Gohan and Zugo's containment, that didn't happen. Regardless, Kuzuku knew he was in for an even tougher fight than before. After a moment of just a few short breaths, Broly eventually spotted his prey looking down from above. He growled, snarling at him as if he were some feral beast before flying up to meet him at the same altitude. The short display of speed said it all to the primal warrior's face.
"This guy really is something special. . .his power is completely different from how it was a moment ago," Kuzuku mentally noted. He breathed and closed his eyes despite Broly's growing urge to charge at him as he watched him as if he were his next meal. However, Kuzuku simply focused and began to search for the feeling he felt back then. The sensation that he experienced back in the Tournament of Power when his back was against the wall. The things that he witnessed when he was in a state of acceptance along with the power that came at the end of it. All of it replayed in his mind before he mumbled, "It's now. . .or never!"
His body began to tense as his fist clenched at his side. His eyes slowly opened before grunting as he began to focus. Seeing this, Broly was getting ready to charge in as his feral nature was at an all time high in terms of his senses. However, the sudden burst of pressure that spread throughout the waters forced him to put a halt to his initial action. He wasn't aware as to why but Broly couldn't shake the feeling of anxiety that washed over him. It was weird to say the least. Someone who was blatantly out of control of his actions yet he couldn't make a move? Irritated, he let out a low yet gradually growing growl until suddenly. . .the primal Saiyan's Ki flared to life. In that moment, Broly could feel his body waver a bit, the pressure emitting from the sudden eruption of Ki that had reached high into the skies and deep into the waters below pressing against his body. But that wasn't it. It was something that he would only experience when dealing with his strict and abusive father back when he was just a boy. Something that caused his eyes to widen and his jaw to open up a bit as he quivered from the power that was pressuring him. It was fear.
"HRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Kuzuku roared, his power rising to an extent that caused the area to tremble from his might. The skies darkened while the remaining pillars and mountains that stuck out of the water surrounding them were threatening to crumble away. Nevertheless, the primal Saiyan continued to raise his power with the flames of his amber Ki swirling around him before flickering to a more yellow and orange color. However, his body was incredibly tense, the energy becoming more and more wild as he tried to tame it; the power that was kept dormant for most of his life until now. But he couldn't stop now, not with everyone counting on him. He growled a bit before roaring one more time in order to draw more of the power out, thus unleashing another burst of energy outward to which Broly was nearly blown away. The fierce gales began to cut deep while also rippling throughout the terrain.
(Meanwhile, Whis And The Saiyans From Universe 6 On The Ice Continent. . .)
From afar and between the numerous icy structures that stood in it's way was a bright yellow and orange light that was generating winds that flew between gaps of each construct of nature. The clouds in the sky above were moving away from the source while the ground trembled due to it's might. Despite this, a certain Angel who stood amongst the exhausted Saiyans of universe 6 who his sister left with him along with the Blue Haired scientist that became quite a friend of his simply cupped his chin. He hummed, "Hmmm. . .so he's gone and done it after all?"
"Wha-what's going on, !? I've never felt this kind of power before! It's like it never ends!" Cabba asked in complete shock. Though he wasn't alone in that regard as his fellow companions watched the spectacle along with them, their expression mirroring that of bafflement.
Regardless, Whis simply held out his staff in response and emitted a light from the orb that hovered in the center of it's circle. From there, a small beam shot out to form a decently sized rectangle before the image was displayed before their very eyes widened at what they saw. The very source of all the power that they were sensing out of nowhere was none other than Kuzuku himself who was putting in all his effort to unleash it. His aura was so bright and fierce that they couldn't believe that something like this was possible. They knew that Universe 7 was incredibly strong as they were the winners of the death tournament they all participated in. They knew full well that the Saiyans of Universe 7 who they were now training with achieved even greater heights than they remembered. But. . .they never expected the gap was so huge that they simply couldn't comprehend it. Even Lottus, who wasn't even a fighter in the tournament, was left in a state of no words.
Knowing all this and how they exactly felt, Whis couldn't help but smirk with a hint of pride in his universe. Something that Angels rarely show, "Watch closely now You don't get to see this everyday. This is the power that Kuzuku discovered all on his own."
"You mean that transformation he obtained during his last fight with Jiren?" Bulma asked
"Yes, you are correct, Bulma. Though. . .," The Angel nodded, before showing a bit of seriousness, "He better watch himself. I told him that the form he took, Super Saiyan 5 he calls it, is highly unstable. If the worst comes to be, then he'll most likely die during the fight."
The wife of the Saiyan Prince felt her face grow pale as she grimaced at the revelation, "Di-Did you just say he will die!?"
"Why yes," Whis affirmed before explaining further, "The nature of the transformation itself is simply like an untamed beast. It's a form that exerts wild and ferocious Ki at extreme levels. When I healed Kuzuku's injuries, I deduced that his body couldn't handle the form's overwhelming power so much that if he stayed in it any longer then he would have died. But. . .him transforming into it now does present an opportunity.
The blue haired princess raised an eyebrow at that last comment, "An opportunity? For what? For a chance that he'll die doing this!?" The Angel shook his head, immediately dismissing that assumption as he stared forward at the projection of the Saiyan's transformation.
"No, an opportunity to learn more about this form. There is still so much that not only we don't know but also Kuzuku himself. This is the perfect chance to analyze Super Saiyan 5 in order to confirm several theories I had on it." Whis replied confidently with a small smile.
Noticing the Angel's expression, Caulifla couldn't help but point it out, "You seem a bit too happy for a benevolent being."
"Well. . .," the Angel giggled before replying, "It's incredibly rare for a mortal to achieve something like this in your own universe. I bet that my sister Marcarita was somewhat pleased when she and Lord Vermoud met Jiren."
(Now With Beerus And 21 At Bulma's Personal Island Resort. . .)
The sun was still as bright as ever, it's blazing rays illuminating the island that was now shaking slightly due to the sudden pressure that was echoing throughout the planet itself. Despite that, Beerus remained calm and relaxed in his spot since he could clearly sense what was happening in the distance. He was slightly tempted to go over there and see the spectacle himself but what kept him at bay was the baby that was now sleeping peacefully on his stomach. Her blue hair and facial expression being a perfect match when paired with her mother while the nature of her Ki resembles that of her Saiyan father. Knowing that, he was sure that if he woke her up in any way then he'll have to deal with her annoying wails for the next hour. Something that he didn't want to deal with.
He sighed, "To think the God of Destruction being reduced to a mere babysitter while an entertaining fight is happening just a few feet away is what I've become. How revolting."
"Uh, sorry Lo-Lord Beerus. Thank you for watching Bulla for a bit while I went to get her baby formula," a female voice timidly said.
He turned to see the Saiyan's wife holding a baby bottle towards his left. He huffed, closing his eyes as he didn't want to look at her at the moment while he replied, "Whatever. . .just get this brat off me."
Nodding, 21 carefully lifted Bulla off Beerus before resting her in her arms. The scent of the baby formula was enough to cause the infant to stir awake before she gave an innocent smile that begged to be fed. The majin scientist chuckled at how cute she was and hovered the bottle just a bit so she could grab it. Like a typical Saiyan, Bulla wasted no time in drinking down the formula while 21 smiled at how eager she was. Though her attention was short as she felt another burst of power that occurred, her eyes instinctively directed themselves towards the source.
She could instantly tell by the familiar Ki signature on who it was, her eyes widening a bit as slight worry dawned on her expression, "Ku-Kuzuku!? This energy. . .but he. . ."
"Hmmm?" Beerus hummed, opening one of his eyes to curiously glance at her sudden worriness. Though, it didn't take him long to remember as he cupped his chin, "Oh yeah, Whis did mention to me about the risk of the boy's limit-breaking power. The fellow he is fighting must really be a powerful foe indeed to make him be this desperate. Now, I'm curious on how this power will manifest this time around since he can't control the output."
21 face crestfallen at the God's words, her free hand unconsciously resting on her stomach, "Kuzuku. . .please don't do anything reckless." In response, Beerus let out a short breath and sighed. He would go out of his way to say that they do have a means of wishing him back if the worst does happen, however, he knew that in mortal's cases: death was something that will never be easy to deal with. Even if the person comes back to life shortly afterwards. There will always be pain due to loss and that pain negates all thoughts of rationality. Something that he's seen one too many times over.
"Don't worry," Beerus muttered uncharacteristically, the tone of his voice snapping the worried 21 out of her trance. She was a bit shocked though Beerus ignored the face she was giving him and continued, "That guy survived way worse than this. Just have faith like you had during the tournament of power."
There was a momentary moment of silence between them before 21 gave him a kind and loving smile that caught him off guard a bit, "Thank you, Lord Beerus. . ." The God of Destruction stared at her for a bit, his eyes slightly wide before turning back towards the direction of the huge power from afar. He let out a mused huff as he smirked with one thought in mind.
"You sure got yourself a good one, huh Kuzuku. . .? Now, show me what you got this time!"
(Back With Kuzuku's Transformation Against Broly On The Ice Continent. . .)
Kuzuku could feel himself getting close as the surrounding orange part of his aura began to condense and swirl around inside the wild yellow Ki. His eyes began to turn yellow as his hair was showing signs of white while the fur covering his body began to darken to a dark grey color while his hair grew longer in the process. Before long, his vision grew black as though he was transported to an unknown place that felt so familiar. He was confused until heard the roar of an Oozaru echoing throughout his head. He smirked as the feeling was nothing more than reminiscent of the first time he transformed. Something that'll remind him that he shouldn't forget who he truly is. That in mind, his surroundings returned to normal as he went in for the final push.
"Time to show you my true power, Broly!" Kuzuku exclaimed, before tensing his body in order to brace himself for what's to come. His aura slowly began to condense around him before it completely diminished as if he was preparing for something. The enraged Super Saiyan didn't dare to make a move as Kuzuku suddenly let out a loud ferocious roar of power, "HRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
In that moment, his energy erupted into a ginormous orange and yellow Ki that shook the very fabric of the planet itself. The shockwaves echoed and traveled far and wide, so far that even the surrounding planets within the Solar System itself tremble from his raw power alone. The light generated was so bright that Broly had to shield his eyes while trying his hardest to not be blown far away from the pressure. He grunted, though the light itself soon began to settle down but not entirely. He slowly loosen his arms that hovered in front of his eyes and took a peak. At first, he noticed golden streams of Ki flowing past him as if they were the wind itself while the source of all that power floated in front of him with a serious expression on his fast.
The primal Saiyan of Universe 7's white hair flowing due to the gentle winds. His dark grey fur that covered his body wrapped in an orange flame similar to Ultra Instinct while the more energetic yellow Ki emitted the streams of Ki from his body thus creating a two-toned aura. Then lastly, his yellow eyes glowed as the black eyeliner trimmed around it. His overall change left Broly motionless, his instincts unable to respond to such a drastic change in power. He tried to move but his body only told him that he should stay away. That. . .he should run while he still has the chance. But mentally, his rage and anger still wanted blood and overpowered those instincts entirely as he growled at the opponent before him.
"This, Broly. . .is what I call Super Saiyan 5," Kuzuku noted, his stance already forming into an offensive form. He was a lot more confident in a head on clash though he knew he still had to be careful and that he didn't have a lot of time. He could already feel the effects as sparks of electricity began to cover his body occasionally with each one providing a hint of pain. Nevertheless, the primal warrior was still determined to see this through as Broly got ready for battle. His eyes narrowed in as he focused on the battle at hand, "Sorry. . ."
Before Broly could so much as charge, the enraged Super Saiyan only blinked for just a moment until he finally realized that his opponent had disappeared. In a mixture of panic and confusion, he searched both left and right multiple times over to no avail. However, he soon felt something hard. . .very hard slamming right into his plexus. The pain he felt was unimaginable as he lost almost all the oxygen supporting his body from a single blow. His body shivered from the agony he was feeling as his vision became slightly blurry to where he could barely see Kuzuku's fist embedded into the striking spot.
"I don't really have much time in this state, so I'll do as much as I can if you don't mind," Kuzuku concluded prior to kicking Broly hard in the chin to the point that he went flying into the air. Nevertheless, Kuzuku flared his Ki before zipping through the air in order to chase after him in a zig-zag motion. He was too fast for Broly's eyes to track as he watched him catch up to him in only a few short moments. Then, the primal warrior clenched his fist as he was ready to send Broly down towards the Earth. However, with a quick glance, Kuzuku noticed the goliath's open hand extended towards him as energy was gathering in the middle. His eyes widened as the blast was unleashed point blank as soon as he got close.
But, that was quickly proven ineffective as the energy wave fired simply fazed right through an afterimage of the primal warrior which left Broly confused. Before he knew it, Kuzuku had already maneuvered behind him with shocking speed as his fist still remained closed. Forcefully, he thrusted his hand forward into an open palm as he unleashed a powerful Kiai that slammed it's immense pressure into Broly's back; his screams echoing as he was rocketed towards the water below. As Kuzuku watched him impact the lake at full speed which resulted in a large geyser of water to erupt, he could feel his body beginning to break down. There wasn' time to waste. . .he had to make this count.
Kuzuku flared his aura before charging into the waters in order to keep up his assault. His speed was forever increasing by the second until he noticed something glistening in the dark abyss below. He raised an eyebrow for a moment until he noticed them getting closer and closer by the second. From there he understood, and decided to speed up even more though he was still careful. Soon enough, the primal warrior was met with a barrage of energy waves that stood in his way, each one carrying the intent to kill if they dare touch him. In his current condition, he couldn't afford taking any more damage than he's already taken. Knowing that, he paused for a moment and waited before taking off towards the left in hopes to get out of the width of the blast zone. Expectedly, the energy waves flew past him barely to which the Saiyan inwardly smirked until he felt something slam into his neck. He gagged at the feeling of his throat getting smashed as Broly dragged him through the waters and back onto the surface with the share might of his biceps alone.
He groaned a bit and grit his teeth in order to cope with the pain until he decided to counterattack now that they were close. With his impressive strength, he latched onto Broly's arms and used it as a tool in order to twist his body just enough to land a hard knee into his ribs. The blow was enough to cause Broly to stop in his tracks before Kuzuku gripped his large arm tighter in order to hoist him over his shoulder. A powerful battle cry escaped his lips as he then hurled the berserker through several glacial mountains with a single throw to which the speed at which he was moving was enough to split them in two. In record time, Broly's body crashed into the ground with enough force to level several cities if they were in the vicinity of the landing zone as the shockwaves traveled an enormous distance as frosty smoke erupted towards the sky.
Despite this, Kuzuku decided to become more aggressive and chase down Broly once more though this time closing the distance faster than he could recover. The berserker's eyes widened as his back laid helplessly on the ground while Kuzuku's fist was already to strike. It began to glow, his aura flaring as his eyes stared fiercely into his blank pupils.
"Dragon. . .," Kuzuku let out a low growl before roaring, "Imperial Claw!"
Without hesitation, the primal warrior slammed his fist down towards Broly's stomach. Upon contact, the ground beneath them became further indented into a decently sized crater as Broly let out shrill screams of pain while Kuzuku could feel his whole arm go numb for a moment. He groaned, the feeling of his body being torn to shreds slowly by his own transformation taking its toll both physically and mentally. He was really beginning to question how on Earth did he manage to fight in this form, "This is more taxing than I thought! I better hurry up or-!" Suddenly, his fast train of thinking was interrupted by the sudden large palm that was just inches from his face.
He knew who it was as his body was already beginning to obey his impulses until he suddenly felt another surge of pain that prevented him from dodging. His eyes widened in shock as Broly's hand had gripped onto Kuzuku's face before blasting the both of them off into the air at full speed. The primal warrior grunted at basically being dragged like a ragdoll while he helplessly struggled to move his body while Broly was more infuriated than before. Before long, the berserker finally found the most solid mountain he could find as he proceeded to slam his prey onto the highest point before dragging his body across the side of the mountain towards the ground. His loud snarls overshadowed Kuzuku's muffled groans as they made their descent.
However, Kuzuku noticed quickly at how close he was to impact and mentally hissed at the thought of being slammed. He simply couldn't afford it, "Like hell I'm letting you have your way again!" Premediately, Kuzuku extended his hands behind him and focused his Ki for a moment before unleashing an energy wave towards the ground. The sudden action threw Broly off guard as the force created by Kuzuku's maneuvered was strong enough to stop them a little over halfway towards impact. Nonetheless, the primal warrior noticed Broly's focus wavering and took the opportunity to land a roundhouse kick directly into his neck: the sudden strike causing him to loosen his grip around his face as he was stunned by the blow. Seeing this, he then followed up by unleashing a barrage of punches at high-speeds so fast that they seemed like a blur with each one pushing the enraged Super Saiyan back as well as ripping around the entire mountain due to the shockwaves formed by his power. He was rushing and he knew that. Though it wasn't like he had much choice. Especially since his body was beginning to ache unbearably all over.
Meanwhile, the remaining Saiyans of Universe 6 along with the Angel watched the onslaught from a safe distance. For the most part, the Universe 6 Saiyans were amazed at how well Kuzuku was doing as before; all of them together didn't even come close to doing what he was accomplishing right now. However, Whis seemed to be in a lost of thought, his mind more focus on observing rather than being wowed.
"Incredible, Kuzuku really wasn't lying when he said that Super Saiyan 5 was on a whole other level!" Cabba commented in amazement.
"Yeah. . .but remember, he can't last long in that state," Lottus reminded him while Kale remained silent next to him.
Whis nodded, "That is true and I fear that is becoming more evident now. . .Kuzuku's Ki is still uncontrollable and his striking power is all over the place. At the point that he's at right now, he's simply rushing his attacks in order to compensate for the lack of time."
"Isn't that a good thing? It looks like he's on his way to finishing him off right now," Caulifla asked.
There was a moment of silence for a moment until Whis shook his head while looking at Kuzuku's barrage of punches "No. . .in fact it's the opposite and unfortunately you'll see why soon enough."
Back to the fight at hand, Broly could feel each blow threatening to break his entire body in half. He couldn't see the punches coming nor did he have any means of avoiding them as he was backed into the side of the mountain that was nearly at its end. With one final roar, the never-ending assault of Kuzuku's fist ceased fire only for him to kick Broly hard in the stomach before he was sent flying through the mountain thus finally splitting it in two. His body soared through the air until he was eventually stopped by the ground itself as he tumbled against the icy surface several times over before stopping just before the edge of the lake. He groaned, the pain numbing his body and dimming his vision as he struggled to stand.
From afar, Zugo could see Broly stumble a bit as a relieved smirk crept upwards, "Looks like things are going well."
Just as he said that, Kuzuku landed several meters away from the struggling Broly. The primal Saiyan could feel his body shaking as he was trying his best to hold out for as long as he could. His breathing was heavy from fatigue though he knew he could push further. He looked forward as Broly seemed to have received significant damage from the attack earlier though despite that, he could still feel a lot of fight left. He groaned mentally as he watched Broly snarl at him before raising his power even further: his aura flaring and rupturing the ground around him while the waters behind were blown backwards. Kuzuku could feel his increased pressure pressing against his body though he was still confident that his current state was enough.
But. . .he couldn't help but be impressed, "Even after all that damage, you can still get stronger. Truly an anomaly in your own right huh. . ." His words seemed to have gone deaf to his ears as rage overtook Broly in every aspect. His feet dug into the ground before dashing forward with the intent to bury his opponent. However, Kuzuku simply glared back at him, his hands forming into the finishing move at his waste.
"Even so, I'll have to sadly put an end to this. . .!" Kuzuku roared, his aura bursting to life as he began to manifest more strength. He was determined to end this here and his power had already spiked to even greater heights as the ground began to tremble beneath his feat. Despite this, Broly still continued on his pursuit with no fear in his eyes. He was really bent on trying to destroy whatever was in his way at this point. Nevertheless, Kuzuku still stood firm, his resolve steeled to do what must be done as he began to chant, "True. . .Roarin-NAAAAAGH!"
At that moment. . .everything began to go black. His eyes widened from the sudden pain that washed all over his body, his aura becoming more jagged and out of control before immediately dispersing away. The primal warrior could feel his body begin to stumble forward as it began to glow for a moment before reverting back into his base form. Most of the onlookers were completely bewildered by what had just happened as Kuzuku completely collapsed onto the ground, his body shaking and battered as sounds of silent agony escaped his lips. He was in pain. . .pain that he didn't think was possible. Now that he was more aware of it, it only made it hurt a lot more as he couldn't move a single muscle.
Whis couldn't help but shake his head as he knew this was going to happen, "It was to be expected. Due to the fact that he rushed his attacks without pacing himself lead to him burning out far quicker than intended. His body couldn't handle that level of power which was why he deformed."
"Tch, damn it!" Caulifla cursed, punching the ground hard enough to indent it, "He was so close! If only he lasted a bit longer. . .!"
As she damned both herself and the sequence of events, Kale couldn't help but give Whis a pleading look, "Pl-Please. . .You have to go help him! If you don't, then will. . ." The Angel sighed, shaking his head as he declined to request.
"I can't go do that unfortunately. . ." Whis reminded, shocking everyone present.
Lottus growled, his face displaying slight anger towards the angel, "And why not!? You're just going to let him die without doing anything?"
"It's simple really, remember what I said before?" Whis responded almost immediately, "I can't interfere with the conflicts with mortals unless I am given permission to do so by the Grand Priest or Lord Beerus."
They all choked on their counter arguments right there as they had no response to it. All they could do was sit idly by while Kuzuku was only mere moments before death. However, only one person made an attempt to come to his aide as Zugo charged forward in hopes to intercept Broly's approach. His Ki flared, propelling him forward as fast as he could but the distance was far too great for him to make it in time. His teeth grinded with one another in frustration, "Da-Damn it! I won't be able to make it in time. . .!"
As pain continued to wash all over his body, Kuzuku could only catch a faint glance of Broly's fast approaching figure. He internally groaned, his mind trying to force his body to at least move an inch but to no avail. Was this really how he was going to go out? Well, I guess it wasn't so bad if you disregard the suffering he'll soon have to endure once Broly closes the distance between them. He'd most likely be pummeled to death if that were the case. That said, all he could do was brace himself for what's to come, his only word escaping his lips.
"Damn. . ." Kuzuku weakly cursed as Broly's fist was only a few feet away.
As he drew close, Broly was only fractions of a second away from finishing his prey for good. . .until he felt a powerful kick slamming into the side of his head. He didn't even have time to process what had happened as his body tilted towards its side a bit before he found himself being sent hurling into a round ice dome in the distance. Kuzuku along with everyone else were confused at what had happened until Whis smirked slightly at the energy he felt. The young Saiyan watched as the newcomer spun in the air to land on his right leg with grace. He wore black kung fu shoes similar to the defeated Saiyan himself while his white pants were held up by a dark blue sash that wrapped around his waist in a knot that flowed with the wind. His black gauntlets were barely visible due to how dark it was but the most noticeable park of his attire was the trademark black and gold vest that Kuzuku knew all too well.
The mysterious newcomer looked around for a bit as he spoke, his voice overlapping between two recognizable ones, "Seems like you guys were having a pretty wild party without me. Though, I guess the guest of honor always has to be fashionably late, don't you agree?"
"You. . .you're. . ." Kuzuku murmured, his voice raspy and weak as his saviour turned to face him.
Now in full-view, he could clearly see the facial resemblance. His hair was black and spiky in a Vegeta like fashion except it was wider and more refined in it's edges. His onyx eyes match a combination of both the hero of Earth and Prince of Saiyans though his body structure was more Goku than anything else. With everything else aside, his Ki was what gave him away. He smirked, his confidence expression mirroring both Saiyans perfectly that made up his being perfectly, "Oh that's right, this is your first time meeting me huh? Well, it's not like we fused like this before haven't we? Well, I am neither Goku or Vegeta. We are, Gogeta!"
"Go. . .geta," Kuzuku repeated, the name rolling off his tongue before smiling weakly, "Heh, I like it. Though. . .I wish you could have done this faster. . ."
"Heh, sorry. Creating someone as strong as me does take a lot of time. But you held out pretty well if I say so myself, so take a nice long needed rest. . ." Gogeta assured.
As if on cue, a large eruption of raging green Ki blew away the chunks of ice that buried the berserker. His growling was loud as he stepped forward towards the fusion that had sneakily struck him when he wasn't looking. Gogeta chuckled, his feet treading forward with confidence in his abilities as the cold air around them began to blow. Though, as soon as he left, he could sense Zugo already landing near the battered Saiyan which did give him some reassurance that they'll be alright despite what's about to go down. His attention was only focused on soul reason as to why he was creation, his eyes observing him from afar.
Smirking, he got into a stance as Broly was threatening to charge at him out of vengeance though his scary and out of control demeanor seemed to not faze the fused warrior in the slightest. His body began to become shrouded in gold as the winds began to pick up speed. The anticipation in the atmosphere reflected the battle that was on its way to happen. A battle that could only be described as a clear showcase on the potential of the mortals that resided in universe 7. On one end was a Saiyan who lived a secluded life on an uninhabited planet only to be forced to fight against some of the most well established warriors in his own universe with his power rising exponentially over time. Then you had the opposition, a newly born fighter whose make-up is arguably from the greatest Saiyans in history. A warrior whose very existence challenges even the gods themselves versus The berserker whose power threatens to climb high enough to eradicate everything in his path with his unbounded rage.
The mere thought made Whis smile as everyone watched the staredown from Whis's projection, "This will be interesting, now would it?"
"Ye-yeah. . .So that's the fusion between master Vegeta and Goku? He hasn't even begun fighting yet but his power feels astonishing!" Cabba noted.
Lottus couldn't help but agree, "You're right, it isn't that he's overwhelmingly strong. That's part of it but. . .it's as though his Ki feels calm and in control despite what he's up against yet so out-of-this-world that it's difficult to comprehend."
"To say the least," Whis added, his smile widening across his face, "I'm curious as to how this fusion will perform. I can only assume that we'll be in for quite a 'treat', heheh."
Suddenly, the winds blowing calmly around them began to cease, the freezing hair only tickling against Gogeta skin as he confidently steeled himself. From initial glance, one would assume Goku's traits were the dominant portion of his personality though it was too early to assume that until the fight truly began. Though, his carefree and loose demeanor seemed to be completely dismissed by Broly ever increasing bloodlust. The fused warrior chuckled, his eye narrowing in as that aloof confidence that was once present on his face was replaced by a semi-serious one.
"I'll handle everything from here. . .let's go!"
On his cue, the fuse warrior flared his semi-gold aura and took to the skies at speeds far surpassing simple logic. In no time, Broly did the same, his aura bursting forth quickly as he chased after Gogeta in the skies. Wasting no time, the goliath extended his hand out forward as several energy waves were shot straight towards his fused adversary. Gogeta simply chuckled at the sight, his body already changing directions in order to move out of the way. The energy waves flew past him as he flew through the air while Broly was still hot on his tail as he unleashed an even larger onslaught of energy waves his way.
The two warriors raced through the terrain as the wild wave of energy exploded against the ground as they missed their target that was maneuvering through the dangerous barrage: the explosion leaving large trails of smoke that Broly came straight out of with more waves. Impressively, the fuse warrior didn't so much as bat an eye behind him, his body dodging left before ducking under several more blasts as he turned around intentionally to avoid some that passed barely against his hip. His eyes caught sight of three more energy waves coming his way, however, he remained unbothered as he quickly slapped one of them away while fluidly dodging the second with a spin before kicking away the last one into nothing but particles as the energy wave he dodged impacted the ground in a large explosion.
He smirked at the large Saiyans' surprised reaction though Broly was still adamant on pummeling the warrior to pieces as he sped up to close the distance. Chuckling, Gogeta clenched his fist as golden energy began to brighten around his body, "Hehaha, let's skip the warmup. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!" Gradually, the aura began to grow brighter and brighter in conjunction with his rising power. His hair began to illuminate as he roared while Broly drew closer and closer as time went on. However, as soon as his aura reached its peak luminosity, he let his energy burst, the light shortly blinding the area before revealing his golden hair and aura.
The fuse warrior stared forward, his eyes now met with the sight of Broly's fist nearly inches away from his face. Confidently, he was unfazed as his arm raised to block the punch with only fractions of a second to spare with the blow forcing him back through the air upon contact. He stopped himself quickly and charged back in to retaliate with a swift punch across the face that left Broly stunned as his vision was suddenly forced left before Gogeta followed through with a flip-kick to the chin that sent him flying. The goliath howled in pain as his body spiraled out of control before quickly regaining control. He growled and curved back towards Gogeta at full speed while the latter smiled at the challenge.
In a blink of an eye, the two found themselves instantly locked into a constant exchange of strike. Their fists were but a blur with each one narrowly striking the other. However, it didn't take long for the fusion to land in several sneaky hits as Broly felt several punches in his solar plexus, ribs, and even his stomach. The quick blows were abnormally heavy, his mouth threatening to let out a gag but his rage overthrew that feeling as he let out a roar: his large arm swinging straight down at Gogeta for revenge. The fuse warrior mentally shook his head at the wild swing, his hands shuffling between each other before deflecting the punch to the side thus resulting in Broly's off-balance posture. Then, before Broly could so much as realize it, Gogeta punished him with a side-elbow to his stomach, the impact strong enough to cause the goliath to contort in pain: his mouth wide as blood coughed out of his mouth. Though, he didn't have much time to fully process it as the fuse warrior spun around into a roundhouse kick to the side of his head.
There was a slight pause as Broly let out a low, muffled groan before the kick sent him rocketing towards the ground at speeds so fast that he left a sonic-boom behind him. The moment he impacted the ground caused the terrain below to crumble to large chunks of its former self that floated into the air with several ice structures shattering into glistening shards. Seeing this as an opportunity, Gogeta back-flipped a bit higher into the sky before raising his hands above his head as a dark blue orb emitting two rays of light began to form. He watched as Broly struggled to get up though he knew it was too late to dodge this one.
"Take this! Stardust Fall!" Gogeta roared, his hands swinging down to unleash an enormous rain of light-blue energy bullets beneath him. The enraged Super Saiyan shook his head in hopes to get rid of the headache before noticing the barrage of blasts descending upon him. His eyes widened in shock before he was inevitably pummeled by the seemingly endless rain of energy. Each one hit him rapidly, the explosion earning large screams from his lips as he tried to not fall while Gogeta continued on his attack aggressively. However, impressively, Broly eyes began to glow as a dark green aura began to shroud his body. Before long he roared, the aura bursting into a round barrier that continued to expand while deflecting away a large number of the energy bullets. With raised eyebrows, Gogeta became a bit surprised until he noticed Broly shot forward towards him at high-speeds: so much that he closed the distance between him as his hand was already aiming to grab him by the neck.
Before he could catch him, Gogeta suddenly vanished from his sights though impressively enough Broly had already tracked him down and vanished as well. In mere moments, the skies were then littered with several afterimages of the two warriors clashing with each one leaving behind a shock wave that shook the very core of the Earth itself until the fuse fighter ducked under a punch before uppercut him quickly thus leaving him stunned a bit. Though, the goliath simply shook his head a bit before glaring back at the Saiyan with loud growls. But, those growls were quickly silenced by the sights of another punch from below. Instinctively, the enraged Super Saiyan crossed his arms to block though the punch caught him immediately off guard as it faded into nothing along with his current prey. His eyes widened and searched for a bit until Gogeta revealed himself to have already taken his back.
"You're wide open!" Gogeta shouted, his leg already swinging to send Broly flying. Shockingly though, he noticed the goliath eyes staring back at him before seemingly vanishing from his sights to which it caught him off guard. Before he could find him, the fuse fighter caught a glimpse of a back-fist coming his way. Seeing this, he raised his right arm and blocked the blow before it connected though he was still sent flying through the air while Broly glared at him. He thought for a moment, his face still surprised at what had happened, "His speed just increased? Just how far can this guy go?"
The moment that thought passed, Broly dashed after him with another fist ready to be hurled at him. He smirked, his Saiyan urges tingling right then and there to where his aura flared brightly unintentionally "Ohoho, you've piqued my interest some more!" Now more excited for the fight than ever, Gogeta burst forward to meet his challenger: his speed leaving behind a huge torrent of energy from his previous position. The two streams of light bisected the sky until they clashed dead in the center as their respective fist's collided with one another: resulting in a spark of green and gold Ki to erupt as they separated. The streams of light then swirled around each other at high speeds, occasionally clashing and repeating the burst of energy that resulted from their strikes smashing into each other. They were beyond what one could call fast, their movements leaving behind those faint trails of their aura throughout the entire sky before spiraling down in a helix towards the ground. The moment they touched Earth led to them separating as the two warriors continued to unleash a barrage of fist while circling throughout the area. Before they knew it, they found themselves making a spiral that grew smaller and smaller as they continued to throw punches and kicks without letting up until they reached the center. Time seemed to have slowed around them, their aura flaring as they were revealed to have each of their fist readying to intercept their intended target. The ground levitated around them as the weight of their powers cracked the ground beneath their feet.
Then. . .their fist fatedly clashed, the power generated becoming so enormous that the burst of energy formed erupted and spread throughout the terrain with the very few remaining surrounding them disintegrated while it towered all the way to the stars above. The shockwaves from the collision had spread all the way to the onlookers who were both shocked and confused as to what was happening while Whis simply observed as the towering energy seemed to have ceased expansion before suddenly being drawn back into something.
"Now, what!? This is totally insane!" Caulifla complained as she wasn't faring much better than the rest of her fellow Saiyans who were struggling to stay on their feet. Bulma was surprisingly holding on pretty well to one of the tall rocks for dear life while Whis seemed completely unaffected by the powerful force threatening to blow everything away.
"How interesting. . .to think their power would reach the point that a mere clash would cause their contrasting powers to do this. . .," the Angel commented.
Lottus grunted before asking, "Do what. . .?" Whis continued to stare before deciding to tap the tip of his staff to form a barrier for the group to be safe in. They all relaxed with a heavy sigh of relief.
"Well, now that I made sure you won't get caught up in it then I assume you'll be safe enough to watch what happens," Whis noted with a smirk as they questionly stared at him before answering the Universe 6 prince's question, ". . .the raw creation of a pocket dimension resulted from an unstable clash of power."
The moment those words left his mouth, the air around the barrier began to revert backwards. Their eyes widened at the violent shaking as the enormous energy began to be sucked back in towards the source of the power itself.
(Meanwhile In Outer Space, With Frieza And His Underling. . .)
"Lord Frieza! We have terrible news! Our ship is suffering horrendous damage! It seems as though something is trying to pull us back in!"
The soldier knelt down in front of the galactic tyrant whose back was turned facing the emptiness of space, the only source of light being the stars that were light-years away. He hummed, his hand already playing with the glass of wine in his hand as the liquid swirled round and round. He inwardly chuckled, "I see. . .well you all better try harder if you want to live. Those monkeys really are uncivilized when it comes to their brawls."
"Bu-but my lord! That isn't the only thing!" The soldier stuttered, his true fears creeping along his back as Frieza turned slightly to look at him. He gulped at the raised eyebrow that he's seen throughout his years. If he didn't word this correctly then he could be seeing the clouds way sooner than he expected, "The wish-granting orbs you acquired. . .they've . . .disappeared."
Abruptly, the sound of glass shattering to millions of pieces reverberated throughout the entire room. The soldier winced at the terrifying sound, his eyes not daring to look up at his lord's face. But. . .he could clearly sense the ever growing anger that was rising as the room slowly became illuminated with his Ki. He shivered, his eyes only barely mustering the courage to see what was going on only for it to be a clear mistake as he was met with an unpleasant sight. The galactic tyrant was fuming, his red eyes glowing as he was ready to explode out of rage any moment from now.
"Lo-lord Frieza. . .?" He muttered timidly
Frieza's eyebrow twitched at the sound of his voice, his tone low and threatening, "Gathering all of my men here at once, we're going to discuss some things about competence. . ."
"Ye-yes. . .Lord Frieza. I'll do it right away!" The underling squeaked, his feet panically scurrying out of the room. He hurried down the hall though his feet weren't fast enough for his ears to escape the tyrant's scornful ranting of pure rage.
(Now With Cheelai And Lemo On The Ice Continent With The Dragon Balls. . .)
"Uh, Cheelai? Things are really beginning to get out of hand out there! It's starting to become dangerous to be in the open like this!" Lemo complained as he hid behind one of the sturby boulders that shielded them from the fierce winds. The sound of the ship creaking and shaking next to them almost made it hard for the young women to hear though she still pursued forward with the plan.
She cast her eyes down at the orbs while the piece of paper that she managed to scavenge from the now unconscious scientist was held tightly in her hands, "We can't turn back now! We're just too close, Lemo! It's now or never: when this storm dials down we'll use these wish orbs to save Broly!"
"Whatever, you say," The old veteran groaned before looking forward at the bright light from afar. He unconsciously gripped tighter around the boulder before adding, "Let's just hope we don't die in the process. . ."
(Meanwhile, Back To The Battleground On The Ice Continent With Zugo. . .)
The surrounding area was being torn to shreds from the ever so intensifying gales that were sucking everything in as if it were a black-hole except it was replaced by a blinding flash of light. However, one thing did remain sturdy among the rubble as a faint sight of a newly formed Glacial Prison was created just before the clash began. It was smaller in comparison to it's first counterpart but it was at least large enough to protect Kuzuku's weak form and the unconscious Gohan from afar. Nevertheless though, Zugo was still panting away as he was struggling to maintain it from the pressure outside.
"Caught in the middle of a battle like this really isn't the funniest in the world. . ." Zugo noted
Kuzuku weakly chuckled, "Heheh-ngh! Can't. . .agree more. . ." He really couldn't help but comment that since he could barely speak let alone move. Knowing that, if the Astackian wasn't there then he'd probably be found in the bottom of the ocean by now.
"Still. . .they better finish this quickly. It'd be bad if they get carried away and their fusion runs out on them. . ." the Astackian said, his expression serious as he stared into the light shining bright outside the prison.
Standing in the center of its brilliance were the two Saiyans who were the cause of the mass destruction around them: their fists struggling for dominance. But what was more alarming was the fact that despite the clash, they weren't even touching one another physically as in-between a small gap was a tiny speck of spiraling blue Ki in the middle. Their eyes glared into each other as the speck of Ki began to grow unstable. Gogeta smiled as he put more power into the punch, his fist slightly pushing back the larger one that battled against him. In return, Broly growled at him loudly, his Ki flaring in order to match Gogeta who was ever-so-slightly raising his power. The fused warrior smirked at the persistence before responding by flaring his Ki as well. It was a constant back and forth to which it caused the speck of Ki in the middle of their fists to finally give in. In that moment, the bright eruption of Ki that ruptured the area pulled into itself as the speck of Ki collapsed. Their vision was obscured for a moment while the external Ki diminished completely without much of a trace, leaving only but a distorted area that seemed to be bending due to some form of Ki radiation. But surprisingly enough. . .both the fuse warrior and berserker were nowhere to be seen.
However. . .that may have not been the case as there was a miniscule glimmer of light that was far too hard to see with normal eyes. But what was more shocking than anything else was what was inside. The space was colorful and abstract but it seemed to contain nothing but crystal constructs of energy that floated all around. From that alone, one could tell that this newly formed dimension was filled to the brim with energy as it was covered by purple, blue and green energy. Though, amidst all this were the two Saiyans who were too engrossed in combat to care about the sudden change in environment.
Without hesitation, Broly rushed forward to grab the fused warrior but missed as he quickly vanished around him. However, his eyes were still tracking him to which he immediately turned to swipe his fast across his face only for his opponent to dash backwards. Annoyed, he tensed his body to further increase his speed, but Gogeta had already beaten him to the punch as he was zig-zagging towards him: his approach becoming more unpredictable as Broly had trouble tracking him down. Before he knew it, the berserker had already felt his fist against his check as he was pushed backwards a bit by the sudden blow. Blood spat out from the side of his mouth before he snarled into a wild uppercut aimed directly at Gogeta's chin.
Swiftly, the Saiyan fusion sidestepped while flipping himself upside down to deliver a kick directly to the front of Broly's forehead. The kick left him stunned long enough for an onslaught of punches directly into his stomach with each one pushing him back through the air until he was sent flying by another kick to the face. The enraged Super Saiyan struggled to stop himself doing flips until he slammed directly through some of the Ki constructs before impacting the floor of the dimension: the collision causing numerous shards to float upwards. Despite this, he quickly stood back up onto his feet, his hand swiping away the smoke in order to get a visual of Gogeta smugly smirking at him upside down.
With his emotions out of control, Broly raised his hands into the air, his fists clenched before bringing them back down to his waist as he roared. His Ki flared brightly with the dark green aura now getting brighter alongside with his hair turning green while his muscle mass expanded with so much force that the armor he wore was completely gone in the process. The pressure he emitted was enough to push Gogeta slightly back as he watched in awe at Broly's further increased power.
"Whoa. . ." Gogeta muttered as he admired Broly's legendary transformation.
Unfortunately for him, he didn't have the time to dwell on it for long as Broly slashed the air with his clawed hands in order to unleash a large energy slash that disintegrated several constructs floating around. Shocked by the power generated, Gogeta quickly flew up in order to avoid getting caught until Broly suddenly appeared above him with murderous intent. His eyes widened as the berserker was already preparing to slam him into the ground. He mentally groaned before quickly turning around, his leg swinging and landing a direct blow to the giant's neck. However, it seemed to only be slightly effective as Broly simply brushed off the pain and retaliated with a firm punch to the Saiyan fusion's gut before kicking him hard in the same spot. The blow was strong enough to temporarily cause Gogeta to all the air in his stomach as he was sent hurling into what seemed to be the wall of the dimension.
He groaned, his body slowly regaining the lost oxygen that was taken away from a single strike. He looked up, his eyes slightly opening just in time to spot the speeding green mass of Ki coming straight towards him with a forearm ready to slam him even further. Seeing this, he quickly crossed his arms just in time to block the forearm tackle from the goliath as his blank eyes stared into his. His teeth were bare as if he were about to bite his head off, though Gogeta still continued to smirk as he struggled to fend him off.
"This is what I like to see! Now it's my turn!" Gogeta exclaimed with a smile on his face.
Almost immediately, Broly raised his fist to slam him in further after saying that, but Gogeta remained unfazed as a pure blue aura began to shroud his body. Forcefully, the berserker roared as he unleashed his punch towards Gogeta's face so fast that it was already inches in front of his nose until a bright blue light erupted from the fusion's body. The initial pressure was enough to blow the goliath away while shattering the wall behind him even further as shards flew past the source of the power. Before long, the Saiyan fusion's hair turned blue while his pure blow Ki shrouded his body, the transformation's pressure leaving Broly nearly hesitant to move.
Wasting no time, Gogeta shot forward, his fist already socking Broly across the face before giving him an uppercut to the chin to follow-up. His speed was just vastly superior as he had enough time to extend his hand out in front of Broly's face before unleashing a powerful Kiai that slammed into his entire body. Broly groaned as the shockwave was powerful enough to rocket him into the dimension's floor while leaving behind several broken sound barriers. Nevertheless, the goliath quickly stood back up to fire a large energy ball from his mouth at high-speeds in order to catch him off guard. The fused warrior smirked as he casually dodged it before it exploded behind him, the area around him darkening as his eyes shined blue. Then, his hand extended behind him as a blue aura shrouded it before he thrust forward to unleash another Stardust Fall.
Not wishing to get caught up in it again, Broly quickly flared his Ki and began to fly throughout the dimension's floor as he avoided the raining energy bullets that slammed into the ground. The ground was soon littered with blue explosions that further illuminated the dimension. Though eventually, a green stream of Ki encasing Broly shot through the mass amounts of explosions and towards the fused warrior who had quickly caught eye of his escape. He smirked, his blue aura flaring before rocketing towards him. Without fear, Broly reciprocated with a forward approach of his own, his body dashing straight towards Gogeta as both their fist got ready to slam into each other once more. The distance between them closed in mere moments before the sudden collision occurred once more though instead of creating a dimension, the very distorted realm of Ki they created was shattered into a million pieces like glass: the force creating an enormous pillar of energy that shot into the sky and dispersed the darkened clouds.
Floating in the sunset sky, Gogeta couldn't help but smirk as his fist was firmly placed on Broly's face while the goliath barely missed it's target. With a short shout, he sent his adversary directly into the ice below, his large body tumbling several times before landing upright on his feet though it wasn't without him stumbling backwards a bit. Dazed, Broly shook his head to rid himself of the dizziness while Gogeta landed several meters in front of him. Noticing this, Broly shot him a murderous feral glare as Gogeta took an offensive stance before smirking with confidence. Wildly, Broly ran towards him before leaping in with a front kick that seemed to hold no merit behind it as the Saiyan fusion shifted out of the way behind him. As his feet touched the ground, he quickly turned with a energy ball in his hand ready to blast his target to dust.
With that in mind, Gogeta swiped his hand as Broly unleashed the ball of Ki to generate a blue energy shield that reflected the attack. The enraged Super Saiyan couldn't even get a gasp out as the blast exploded back at his face, stumbling a bit in the process with the smoke obscuring his vision. Angered, he swiped the smoke away as he wanted to instinctively kill his prey until the fuse warrior spun around horizontally before delivering a flashing roundhouse kick to the side of his cheek. Broly gagged, his body twisted as saliva left his mouth from the strike as Gogeta leapt backwards to gain some distance. His hands extended out to his side with two pure blue orbs of ki formed from each of his palms. Wasting no time, he dashed forward as Broly struggled to recover, however, the enraged Saiyan noticed him fast approaching.
Out of desperation, Broly's mouth opened to reveal a steaming glow of green Ki before he unleashed a wild energy wave that began scorching random spots of the area. He was completely out of control, though the fuse warrior still remained in pursuit. He let out a battle cry before leaping into the flames created by Broly's wild attack before twisting his body over his head. His feet touched the ground swiftly as he skid against the ground a bit before hurling the two balls of Ki towards Broly's back. Sensing danger fast approaching, Broly turned his head behind him, his blank eyes reflecting the orbs of Ki before they collided into his back at full force. His cries of pain echoed throughout the terrain while Gogeta generated two more orbs in his hand.
The fused warrior howled out loud, "God Punisher!" Rapidly, Gogeta began unleashing a barrage of energy spheres at the already large explosion that was created by the previous two. With each one, the explosion began to grow as it was fed more and more power while Broly was getting bombarded almost endlessly, his fighting spirit dwindling by the second. However, Gogeta then paused his barrage in order to create a sphere filled with rainbow-like ki. He smirked before tossing it into the flames as upon contact with Broly's skin, the blast began to envelop the goliath's body before finally erupting into a rainbow pillar of Ki that created a massive explosion. The force was enough to shake the area while it eclipsed the area with tremendous height.
Gogeta let out a short breath to ease himself a bit before standing up straight. He was slightly hoping that would be the end of it as he watched the flames begin to diminish bit by bit. He stared for a moment, slightly smirking at a single thought, "It'd be a shame that he'd die from that. He's definitely strong but far too out of control. . ." With that said, he took a step forward as he already knew what he should do next until something else got his attention. The sky. . .it suddenly turned dark. Seeing this, he looked around a bit to see what was causing it, his initial thoughts assuming the dragon had been summoned. However, before he could pinpoint the location, a loud familiar voice reverberated in his ears.
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
With a burst of new power, a green aura flared out of the flames and overtook them, the owner's enormous muscular body shining as he powered up. His pressure was increasing tremendously, enough that he was beginning to dwarf his previous power entirely. Though. . .Gogeta remained impassive as the winds blew against his more lean frame. He sighed, "You're really going to force me to do something I don't want too, huh. . .?"
His question fell deaf to his ears as Broly continued to power-up. Eventually, his rising power halted from ascension before he planted his feet into the ground. Using his new found speed, he charged forward at full speed as Gogeta simply watched him charge, his expression impassive and blank as he drew closer. The distance between them was closed in less than a second, the enraged Saiyan's fist cocked back behind his head as he prepared for a powerful punch. Hesitation became vacant, his fist hurled forward at full speed, the punch picking up wind until,. . .It missed him completely. In fact, it's target was nowhere to be seen in Broly's sights as he was completely unsure as to what happened. How. . .he was just in front of him. . .
"If you're going to continue to be a threat to the Earth, then. . ." a voice muttered, causing him to slightly glance behind him. There he was, his blue hair flowing a bit with the soft breeze around him. His back was turned though he radiated confidence that he was far superior. His tone was low yet hinted with disappointment. However, unable to respond due to his lack of rational and sanity, he could only stare at him until he felt a sudden pain in his abdomen. He was confused until several more invisible blows struck him along his chest, causing him to be stunned due to the pain from the salvo strikes.
As he was groveling in agony, Gogeta glared back at him, his facial expression darken as his eyes began to glow, "I'll be responsible for eliminating you. . ." Everything around Broly began to grow cold and freeze. He could feel the hair of his skin stand up from the fused warrior's words. It wasn't a threat. . .nor was it a promise. No. . .this was a straight up ultimatum. He was guaranteeing that he'll kill him without hesitation. Fear overtook what was left of his mind however his body refused to listen to his pleas. The fused warrior quickly spun around, his leg swinging to deliver a bone-crushing roundhouse kick that Broly had no choice but to block. However, it was proven ineffective as his guard was completely broken by the kick alone, his feet stumbling backwards while his arms went numb. Regardless, Gogeta was now ruthless, his immediate follow-up being an energy ball slammed directly into Broly's stomach. The larger Saiyan let out a howl as pain washed all over his body before being blown away by a burst of energy.
The fused warrior made no sound, his feet only kicking off the ground to chase him. His speed was clearly overshadowing how his movements were before as he seemingly instantly closed the distance: his fist socking Broly hard in the face before delivering another hard kick to his ribs. He could hear the sound of bone cracking though he didn't let up as he sent Broly flying faster with a hard right hook across his jaw. The goliath's cries were silenced by the several loud booms of him crashing through several chunks of ice, his body only stopping due to friction as his back slammed into a thick layer. He groaned, his eyes faintly spotting the fast approaching fusion. Out of panic, Broly extended his hand forwardly quickly and fired a barrage of energy waves at his current foe.
However, his eyes grew more and more fearful as he watched Gogeta easily maneuver around the energy waves as if they were nothing, his body twisting and turning before ducking under to get in-between the two beneath him. Once he got close, the Saiyan fusion slammed his elbow right into his stomach with little mercy, the blow subsequently slamming Broly's back into the ice structure behind him: causing it to shatter and collapse. As the frosted-dust flowed past them, Gogeta took the opportunity to knee him in the face to which it left him dazed enough for him to also deliver several punches across both sides of his face before kicking him in the chin. The legendary Super Saiyan of Universe 7 felt his body soar through the air from the kick as he was sent flying while his pursuer followed him.
Swiftly, Gogeta zig-zagged around him in order to knee him in his temple before rocketing him with a roundhouse kick to the opposite side of his head. Knowing he had the advantage still, the fuse warrior was still on the aggressive, his feet kicking off the air before closing the gap even faster than before. He tightened his fist and slammed it into Broly's firm stomach before following up with a strong elbow to his pelvis. As if that wasn't enough, he extended his onslaught with several more strikes across the giant's jaw as they transverse great distances until his aura shrouded his body. His fist began to glow as he roared into the punch that rammed itself into Broly's stomach, the impact producing blue electricity that sliced the ground around them in four directions. With a sudden burst of energy, Gogeta leapt backwards as his fist left Broly clutching his stomach while wheezing.
But, he didn't care. The fused warrior got into a stance, his fist raised into the air while his other was by his waist. He swung forward, solidifying his stance as the pure blue aura of his Mastered Super Saiyan Blue flared around him. His initial step was so fast that it left the ground seared with blue flames that soon trailed behind him as he was so fast that Broly barely had time to react. All he could see was Gogeta's meanicing eyes glaring into his as his fist rammed into his chest at full speed. Broly's eyes widened from the shock he was feeling. The blow left him unable to process what was happening as the cracks around him suddenly erupted with Gogeta's Ki while he was enveloped with a static ki courtesy from his opponent. Quickly, he felt a hard blow to his chin as Gogeta flipped-kicked him into the air, his body now levitating as Gogeta raised both of his hands.
"Meteor Explosion!" Gogeta roared, the energy shrouding Broly's body erratically until a brilliant blue burst of Ki erupted all around him. His body tremble violently at the tremendous pressure that washed over him as he was enveloped by the entirety of Gogeta's Ki. He could feel it threatening to incinerate him if he let his will waver for a second. It only took seconds for the pillar of brilliant blue Ki to explode into an enormous mushroom cloud that towered over the icy terrain for the spectators to see.
Whis smiled at the sight as he was impressed by the display of power from the fusion born from his Saiyan pupils, "How truly magnificent! I think this battle is going to come to a rousing finale."
The smoke covered most of the snow scorched area that Gogeta stood on. He waited for a moment until he saw Broly's figure fall out of the sky and crash into the ground in front of him. His expression remained stern as he knew he couldn't waste anymore time. His posture loosened a bit while his knees bent to prepare for the finishing blow as Broly groggily began to stand up. As far as this fight went on, it was assumed to be a clash between titans. A back and forth struggle. . .but the fun was now over. But with one of them becoming far too out-of-control and dangerous, the other knew what must be done whether the ladder was still pleading for mental help or not. He was simply far too dangerous to keep around like this. That when it became blatantly apparent. That this was no longer a fight:. . .
It was a painful execution
The fused warrior brought his hands together at his waist, his resolve to see things through as hard as steel, "I'll put an end to this with Full-Force. . ." On cue with his declaration, his blue aura burst to life as the trade-mark sphere of Ki began to form in-between the palms of his hands. His eyes glared forward as his pupils began to glow white with several rings of his Ki ripping into the ground. The sheer weight of his power was causing the ground to break as Broly watched in horror at how much pressure he was emitting.
"Kaaaaaaaaa. . .Meeeeeeee. . ."
Instinctively, Broly's body shivered at the feeling that one could hardly describe. It was as if he'd been petrified, his legs glued to the ground as he dared not to move an inch. His eyes widened, the color of his yellow iris and black pupils returning from the white void that they were before in order to show how scared he was.
"Haaaaaaaa. . .Meeeeeeeeeee!"
The now calmed down Saiyan watched Gogeta's aura burst once more, so much that he could swear he saw a vibrant arc of colors that he's never seen before in his life on Vampa. He stumbled back unconsciously, silently pleading for him to stop. His voice wanted to tell him that he's come back to his senses and that he'll never hurt them again. But. . .nothing came out. His fear of dying outweighs his courage to speak up as the fusion finally unleashed it. . .
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
With a single push forward, Gogeta fired his Kamehameha with the intent to kill. The wave was clean yet the force was most certainly enough to incinerate Broly till there was nothing left. As the large energy wave drew closer, Broly couldn't contain his terror any longer as his fearful screams escaped his lips. Gogeta couldn't help but internally cringe at the sight but. . .he knew there was no other way. It would only be a matter of time before the blast connects. The only thing he could wish for him is that his death is quick and painless.
However, just before the energy wave could connect, the fused warrior noticed something strange as Broly's body was enveloped by a red light. He raised an eyebrow for a moment until suddenly. . .the goliath Saiyan vanished and shot straight into the sky above. His eyes widened at the sight of his energy wave missing due to Broly's sudden disappearance. As the area trembled due to the shockwaves, Gogeta slowly diminished the blast as it fired off into the distance before it finally completely faded to nothing.
Without a word, he looked up to the sky and noticed it was now clear, the sunset nearing its end as the stars were finally present above. He stared at them, trying his best to process what happened until he noticed a faint light exiting the atmosphere. Confused, he decided to place his two fingers on his forehead and focus on where they were heading. It took a minute but after a short couple of seconds, he smirked after finally piecing things together.
He swiped his fingers to the side with a faint trace of blue energy that was tracking them flickering off with the wind that blew against him. He closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief into a smile, "Phew, looks like my job here is done. . ."
A/N: Yo, hi again! Originally, this chapter was meant to be dropped on Friday but I decided to get drop it now because the next chapter after this one is more like the ending of this Prologue. Yes, the Broly arc is just the opener for the real story to begin. Just to remind you all, Tenkai will diverge from the main continuity and will have a separate plot. For example, next chapter will probably surprise you with Beerus. That's all I'm gonna say but anyways, thanks for reading and until we meet again!"
