Chapter 6

Kakarott lay in his bed, home once again on the Saiyan planet. He still was training every day, and he seemed on the brink of another transformation, for he had found another wall and was now working on tearing it down. Suddenly a summons came.

"Kakarott, would you please report to the fighting ring."

Kakarott smiled. Someone wanted to fight him again. As the strongest Saiyan on the planet, he never turned anyone down. However, he had yet to find one to challenge him. However, he wasn't expecting what was at the ring.

It was surrounded by Saiyans, and though they parted for him, they seemed unusually grim, and silent. He came to the ring, and there he found Broli. In Broli's hand was the body of Master Yamm.

Broli grinned at Kakarott, as shock came across the young Saiyan's face. "Master Yamm?" he asked in a small voice. His mentor, his...father looked dead.

"Yes," said Broli, "it's Master Yamm." With that, Broli casually tore the body into two pieces. "Look, Kakarott, now it's two Master Yamms!"

Anger crossed Kakarott's face, and for the first time, he lost control of his temper. Screaming, he exploded into Super Saiyan and climbed. His anger fed itself into his very being and the wall between him and Super Saiyan 2 came crashing down. He howled as his chi-level shot up higher and higher, and tears began to stream down his face.

Broli however, smiled confidently. He then also transformed into Super Saiyan. "See, Kakarott, I am the legendary Super Saiyan. I am much stronger than you, and I should have been the one to beat Freeza. Now I will take the title back onto myself."

With a roar he crashed into Kakarott. To Kakarott's surprise, it hurt a lot. Broli at Super Saiyan seemed to be stronger than him at Super Saiyan 2. Kakarott fought back viciously, seeing the blood of his mentor on Broli's hands, and Broli grunted as Kakarott's hits made contact. They fought savagely, neither one using his brain as full out anger ruled their emotions. Broli finally got a good hold as he grasped Kakarott's tail. Kakarott screamed in pain. Broli smiled. He knew that because Kakarott had been gone, he hadn't received the injection that made tails impervious to pain. Kakarott felt his chi flowing out of him, and gasped as Broli slammed his fist into Kakarott's stomach. Kakarott spat blood and Broli laughed as he did it again and again. Kakarott lunged back to kick, but missed, and he was drained down to Super Saiyan 1. Kakarott began to be hammered by Broli, who kept a very firm grip on his tail. He knew that if he didn't do something soon he was going to lose this fight and very possibly his life, but as Broli's fist continued to crash on him, he was losing the fight for consciousness. Then, he caught sight of his Master's face, and his rationale mind gained control. He suddenly remembered what Master Yamm had said, "Never let anger take control, always use that mind of yours." Then he remember what King Vegeta had told him about his tail. "Don't loose it."

Inspiration came to Kakarott's mind, and though his body was being hammered his fighting spirit was unsurmountable. He stretched out, hit the ground with his hands, an d using the ground, pulled himself between Broli's legs and grabbed his tail. He gripped it with all his strength, and though it didn't hurt Broli, he couldn't get Kakarott off his tail. He tugged as hard as he could and stamped on him and kicked him, but he wouldn't let go, and Broli couldn't see what he was doing.

Kakarott let go with one hand, and Broli feeling the release, pulled harder. Kakarott however wouldn't let go. He felt his life ebbing away, as Broli strangled his tail, but he formed a destructo disk in his hand that he had learned from the boy Krillen before he had killed Master Roshi, and sliced Broli's tail clean off. Broli screamed as blood rushed from the stump of his tail and he accidently released Kakarott's tail. Kakarott jumped back and once again assumed the role of Super Saiyan 2. Broli glared at him and screamed, "I'm going to kill you!"

Leaping forward, Broli attacked, but this time Kakarott retained full control of his senses. He dodged Broli and kicked him in the back of the neck as he went past. The stands were quiet, watching the epic battle going on in front of them. Kakarott used his brain to anticipate Broli's every move, and soon the giant Super Saiyan was exhausted and weak. Sadly, Kakarott wasn't in much better condition. However, he formulated his remaining energy and formed a Kamehameha.

"HAAAA!" he yelled as he blasted Broli's form. Broli screamed once, and then disintegrated. Kakarott, collapsed in a heap, chi completely gone. His last memory was of voices in a strange language, and then a feeling of floating.
