The sun had begun its descent towards the western horizon when Goku first sensed that something was wrong. He paused in the middle of his spar against Nappa and Radditz, absent-mindedly dodging their attacks. Noticing his brother's far off look, Radditz held up his hand for Nappa to stop.
"What is it?" demanded Radditz, staring at his little brother curiously.
"Don't you sense that?" asked Goku, referring to the eerie feeling that was permeating from an area far off in the distance.
The other earth fighters ceased their training. They all strained their senses in order to detect whatever it was that Goku had picked up on. Gradually, the nauseous feeling of Brolly's disconcerting ki became obvious. Kuririn, Yamcha, Tien, and Choatzu exchanged nervous glances.
"I'm not sure if I'm ready for this," whispered the bald monk to his comrades.
"You'll never be ready," commented Prince Vegeta snottily. "Only a Super Saiyan can defeat him." It was obvious from the smirk on his face that he considered himself to be that Saiyan.
Suddenly, the group was practically knocked over as Brolly released the full force of his ki energy. Even from so great a distance, the maniacal Saiyan's ki affected the warriors.
"It's time," murmured Piccolo solemnly. Chibi Gohan looked up at his mentor with a worried expression. Piccolo smiled down at him. "Don't worry, kid. We can do this."
At that moment, the front door slammed open and Trunks barreled outside, followed closely by Goten.
"This time I'm going to get him!" shouted the lavender-haired boy as he leapt into the air and took off in the direction of Brolly's ki.
"Hey! Trunks-kun! Wait for me!" called Goten as he set off after his friend.
Mirai no Gohan appeared, looking panicked. "You two get back here now!" called the teenager, as he took to the sky.
Gohan was followed closely by King Vegeta. The older sovereign gave a single meaningful look to his younger counterpart and followed after the three boys. Moments later, Son came jogging out of the house.
"Oi! Vegeta! Wait up!" he called as he too leapt into the air.
The mismatched group of warriors watched as the future warriors disappeared on the horizon. Resigning to fate, they launched into the sky as well, going to what could possibly be their doom.

Brolly stood in the middle of a vast wasteland, waiting for the earth fighters to arrive. He could sense them in the distance. He waited patiently for them to arrive.
King Vegeta was the first to land before him, jumping into Super Saiyan the moment his feet hit the ground. The aggressive Saiyan didn't pause for the others to arrive. He lunged straight for Brolly, driving his fist into the taller alien's stomach. Brolly was driven back, but not far. The deranged Saiyan ascended as well, surpassing the prince's power level. He easily tossed Vegeta aside, and then turned towards the other future warriors who just arrived.
Trunks stood, fists clenched, torn between wanting to rush to his father's aid and the memories of the severe beating he suffered before. Goten placed himself protectively between his best friend and Brolly, ready to defend Trunks with his life. Son and Mirai no Gohan rushed past the two children and charged at Brolly, hoping to keep the maniacal villain away from the two young boys.
Brolly laughed as he easily dodged the two older Sons's attack. He shot into the air and sent a blast at the other fighters, who were finally arriving behind their future counterparts. The group was forced to scatter as the ki shot flew dangerously close to them.
Son and Mirai slid to a halt and spun around, Son jumping to Super Saiyan 3 and Gohan activating his Mystic power. They leapt into the air and pursued Brolly, who was now harassing the weaker fighters. The insane alien had already managed to take out part of a nearby mountain range using Tien's body, had knocked Choatzu out cold, and was currently making sure Radditz would never have offspring by repeatedly kneeing the Saiyan.
Before Son and Mirai reached Brolly, Trunks appeared next to him. The boy jumped instantly into Super Saiyan mode and delivered a swift kick to the older warrior's head. Brolly flew backwards directly towards Son and Mirai, who attacked the moment he was in range. Freed from Brolly's attacks, Radditz began to sink towards the ground. Goten appeared by his side and wrapped a supportive arm around the large Saiyan.
"You okay, Uncle Radditz?" inquired the young boy, his eyes reflecting his concern.
The tall Saiyan fighter was taken aback by the title. "Yeah, kid. I'm alright," he responded, trying not to sound too pleased with the affection shown by his nephew.
Meanwhile, King Vegeta had recovered from his initial knock down. He shot into the air towards Brolly. Son and Mirai no Gohan flew past him as they were knocked back by the Legendary Super Saiyan. King Vegeta barreled into Brolly, slamming into the larger Saiyan's stomach. Brolly doubled over; growling, he retaliated by bashing his fist into Vegeta's skull. Stars burst against a blackness that threatened to consume him. King Vegeta dropped out of the air, landing near Son and Mirai, who were just recovering from their own beatings.
Looking up, Son saw his younger counterpart engage Brolly. The two exchanged swift blows. The Legendary Super Saiyan laughed demonically as he effortlessly blocked each punch. Nappa and Piccolo charged him from behind. With one fluid motion, he countered a kick from Goku and spun to block his two newest attackers. Releasing a burst of ki energy, he drove all three warriors backwards.
As soon as the initial rush subsided, Super Saiyan Goten and Trunks, along with Kuririn replaced the other fighters. They wove through the air around the annoyed Brolly. Kuririn was the first to be hit out of the air. Next, Brolly swung at Trunks. The boy closed his eyes and prepared himself for the blow, but it never came. Trunks opened his eyes to see Goten in front of him, using his body as a shield. The gold in Goten's hair flickered as he began to lose consciousness. The young Son dropped out of the sky. Chibi no Gohan appeared below, catching his "younger" brother before he hit the earth.
"Chibi-kun!" cried Trunks. He looked up at Brolly, his eyes slanting with anger. "You bastard!"
Trunks lunged at his friend's attacker. He threw punches and kicks recklessly, blinded by anger. With an enraged yell, Trunks hit the second level. Brolly was startled by this and for a slight moment his defense dropped. Trunks scored a brutal blow to the Legendary Super Saiyan's chest. The child felt the rewarding crack of few of his enemy's ribs breaking. Brolly bellowed in pain and lashed out at him. Trunks flew backward through the air, straight towards a cliff wall. Before he made contact with the jagged rock, he was caught by Tien.
Brolly sneered down at the child who had just been saved by the three-eyed freak. Looking up, he found himself face to face with a Super Saiyan Prince Vegeta. The seething prince glared at him.
"Don't...touch...my...child," hissed Prince Vegeta.
Brolly smirked wickedly. Now it was time to take out the pesky sovereign. And once he was finished with him, he would deal with the others in due time.

Okay, the ending of that chapter was kinda crappy. Sorry. But at least I've posted again. I figured I should update before I leave for the anime con in Atlanta this Friday! Yahoo! Hope you enjoyed the chapter and leave lots of reviews.
