Another Path
Holy fucking shit! By far the longest chapter I've ever written in any of my stories. Or I think but it's here so that's the important thing for us. I think it's worth it though. I could have splited it in two parts but I'm really trying to annoy some people so this is the best way to do it.
A long fight with also a lot of explanations so open your eyes and brain or you might get really lost. Don't ask questions that I can't answer and many other things. Don't like it, don't read it. That will save me the trouble.
Enjoy!
Chapter 28: A Halt in Armageddon
The towering Legendary Super Saiyan stood in his unique bulky form, veins poking his invulnerable skin. His frame towered two feet above Piccolo, and the Namekian was the tallest of the Earth fighters with his seven feet tall. The green ki emanated heat equal or hotter than lava, churning the grey soil of the battle-scarred planet and creating puddles of mud. His devilish smirk was not going to leave his face anytime soon.
Vegeta dropped to his knees, his mouth hanging open and his hair going back to widow-peak black. It couldn't be. It was impossible. Such an unfathomable power really existed in the universe.
"He's...The Legendary Saiyan" the Prince could only whisper in despair. He knew the legends. Once every millenia, an outstanding fighter with power unimaginable would show up. But never he thought he would have to suffer at his hands.
The three fighters of Earth were on full alert, their senses sharp and ready. This was beyond anything they had faced so far in their lives. No megalomaniac bastards like the Cold family or an ultimate perfect bio-machine. This was a deranged beast, nothing more, nothing less.
In split of seconds, the three Earth Defenders shot forward faster than escape velocity speed, the ground they had stood on caved a few feet by the power. Broly didn't flinch, only rocketing forward into his preys with his sadistic smile. His white eyes darted into Goku. He hated him the most, so it was only fair the bastard died first.
The humongous fighter shot his fist forward, frictioning around the air particles and blazing straight into Goku's nose. One blow would do the job. It reached the mark but it soon faded in a fake hologram. The Super Saiyan of Earth had never been there. Broly's blank eyes opened just enough for him to see a shorter figure appearing in a picosecond after the after image disappeared. Gohan had the complete surprise advantage, his shorter but stronger foot connecting with the elephant-sized forehead. The giant creature was sent flying backwards through the air head over heels. In the split of seconds, the air shimmered by the space disruption and Goku and Piccolo were already on Broly's path, their hands cupped and raised. The fighters combined their axe strikes, hitting hard enough to send the humongous Saiyan careening down into a rock mesa, that exploded into hundreds of little pebbles with a massive earthquake in tow.
"That should have slowed him down" Gohan commented after sighing now next to his father and master.
"I seriously doubt that" Piccolo replied, his six senses honed after years of fights at full tension.
His rather grave comment came alive, when the planet shook to the core, trees and rivers rumbling by the ki waves of powerful rage. The whale-size fighter shot like a madman through the air into the green Namekian with a clothesline fist going to behead the former Guardian of Earth in a single strike. Gohan, however, reacted much faster and got in the way arms x-crossed in front of him and taking the full power of the blunt force capable of moving the Moon without flinching backwards, the echoing shock wave sounding like a grieving thunder.
The distraction lasted less than a second, enough time for Goku and Piccolo to again teleport now from Broly' sides and land their knees, one from right and the other left. And again, their combined superhuman might did what one alone might haven't. The strikes hit the green-haired cranium, for the first time causing pain to the mammoth-sized monster. Broly jerked his head up and yelled by the agonizing sensations. Gohan briefly grinned, his fist a dazzling blur that struck the Legendary warrior in the cheekbone followed by a stronger right elbow to the mouth. For a brief of a moment, one could have seen dark green blood flying out of the injured beast.
The fight kept on for some time, Gohan always able to deflect or take Broly's most dangerous blows without been scratched or injured and Piccolo and Goku ganging up against the distracted giant Saiyan. After years of fighting on Earth, the three fighters were perfectly coordinated to synchronize with pin-point accuracy and deadliness. The strategy kept on and allowed the three warriors to make a few bruises in Broly' invulnerable skin and even a bleeding lip. But the monster seemed relentless, always coming back for more punishment and trying to inflict twice as much as he had received so far.
Broly's chest suddenly shone bright green, a deadly sphere firing from his pectoral muscles. The fighters had to think quickly and dashed away at light speed, the ball of ki landing on the planet and blasting miles of landscape into a giant smoking crater. The three fighters sighed. Their situation was going nowhere.
"Guys, I don't think we can keep holding him back this way" Piccolo chimed in frantic. He was the weakest of the three and his energy might not last long even with his regenerative abilities.
Broly clutched his teeth, all of them painted with some of his dry green blood. He didn't like this. He couldn't be defeated by mere pests! He needed power. More. He was unbeatable.
With a mad yell from Hell itself, the green-haired Super Saiyan powered up in green colors, his abilities suddenly increased two times. Lightnings flashed around the dark sky of the uninhabited planet.
"His...his powers...have increased!" Gohan stammered his energy sensing detecting without a problem. But what Broly did was just impossible. He was already transformed. How could he get even stronger?
Before anyone had thought a logical explanation, the gargantuan beast rocketed through the air, his giant fist clutching Piccolo's head tight. His other hand came with an uppercut to the belly, the Super Namek gauging in pain and breathlessness. The attack had almost cleaved him in two perfect pieces. Broly only smirked like the demon he was, his hands going green. The ensuing blast made Piccolo's body disappear into the distance like a lighted-up torch.
"Piccolo!" The half alien screamed, his first teacher blasted away into the horizon.
Goku balled his hands tight in anger and shot forward, his golden aura blazing around him in golden splendor. Broly had turned his blank eyes into his enemy with a frown, when the golden warrior landed a sharp knee to the chin. The strength could have cracked a planet in two. But Broly had no damage whatsoever. The seasoned Saiyan's eyes widened in disbelief, Broly's gigantic hands grabbing Goku from the shoulders. The Martial Arts Champion never saw it coming, Broly pulling towards him with a light speed-fast movement and bashing Goku's head with his own harder skull. The Saiyan from Earth spat blood from his bleeding mouth and broken nose.
"Dad!" Gohan yelled, his Super warrior aura also bursting alive. His hands rose and the energy barrage started raining down on Broly. All the blasts had the concentrated power to blast asteroids into stellar dust. But no matter how many landed, the towering monster was not even bothered by the strikes. It may not even be amusing.
"So the brat wants to play!" The freak of a Saiyan taunted with sadism, his hands raising Goku's body up. Gohan stopped his barrage in time to see his father coming towards him turned into a living projectile. The shorter Super Saiyan received his father dead on, catching him and rolling back with the momentum so to not hurt him.
The half and pure-blooded Saiyan were suddenly raised from their scruff, a painful pressing on their necks. The next second, their bodies were falling down at neck-breaking speeds, the sheer friction almost setting their Gis on fire. Broly smirked when he made his enemies' faces hit the ground like meteors, spreading spider webs of cracks over the granite soil with destructive earthquakes.
"He'll kill us...all of us" The overwhelmed Saiyan Prince stammered, his eyes looking at nothing in front of him.
"What the Hell are you doing Vegeta?" Piccolo yelled, grabbing the armored fighter from the hair. His own green skin was scorched in a lot of places but he could fight. The Prince didn't protest. He was still in deep shock "Stop whimpering and do something useful!"
"But he is THE legendary Super Saiyan, no one can beat him!" The still-in-shock prince answered matter-of-factly. The former Guardian from two planets wanted to blast that coward into oblivion.
"You know, I now see how Goku and Gohan always surpass you. They don't fag like tramps against someone stronger" The angry Namekian commented, letting go of the spineless Saiyan "Leave this to the real fighters, don't bother in showing up" With that last nail-sharp comment Piccolo took off.
There were no movements coming from the smoking cracked soil that extended for almost a quarter of the planet. The two Saiyans of Earth where nowhere to be seen after being pile-drived into the granite by the Saiyan mammoth. The gigantic fighter was floating in the air arms folded over his wide pumping chest.
"What's the matter Kakarot, given up?!" The whale-sized titanic freak taunted in sadism, his aura still blazing in green fire around his overgrown frame. It was a green beacon in the middle of the dark gloomy sky.
The next thing Broly knew, a giant red sphere of power struck him in the back of the head. But in his current juggernaut of transformation, it was like throwing a pebble towards a wall of unbendable Katchin metal. Piccolo panted with his hands forward, his Heaven's Revenge done no damage in the least. And least was a very screw situation for him.
"The green bug has returned to get squashed!" The embodiment of hubris smirked with evil glee, his dash of speed completely invisible to Piccolo' sensible eyes.
"Masenko HAAA!" Gohan's voice enchanted from the cracked ground, the yellow blast closing the gap faster than light and hitting Broly right in the back. The bulky warrior was sent toppling away for a few feet before he regained balance mid-air slightly shocked. His back had some burns but nothing too serious. As soon as he turned around to see his attacker though, Goku was already there his leg shooting up. But Goku was different this time. His aura was more jagged and lightnings burned around him, his eyes had changed into an aqua color.
The physical changes were never registered by the Legendary Saiyan because the roundhouse hit Broly with the strength of a billion artillery shells, sending him spiraling away almost to the other side of the planet. Gohan showed up next to his father, also in his ascended Saiyan after firing the Masenko blast. Though his hair was fully spiking up and his eyes were a darker shade of blue than Goku's.
"That Super Saiyan two does work wonders" The fatigued Namekian warrior commented glad to still be alive. The two serious Saiyans, however, didn't answer right away. Their blue eyes were set into the distance.
"But not miracles, move!" The Ascended Goku yelled, a downpour of green blasts promptly raining over the fighters of Earth. The three combatants started flying through the already smitten battlefield, zigzagging between the destructive blasts of ki that washed over the scar-covered surface. The entire landscape had lost its former Earth-like features, now only hundreds of holes in the ground like if the planet had been struck by a meteor shower.
Not different from what was going to happen soon enough by an even bigger meteor.
Piccolo's energy sensing made him spun around on instincts and stopping his flight, his eyes darting up. By that time, the green-shinning Saiyan monster was already on top of his also-green bug, an entire dome of energy surrounding him in both defense and offence. The former Guardian of the green and blue planet had no time to widen his eyes when the super tackle pile-drived him into the ground layers of the planet for almost five or six miles deep.
The father and son had barely stopped on their tracks when they sensed their friend was gone along with Broly underneath the rocks.
The distant place from Earth trembled again with massive tremors, now an entire mountain rising up like suddenly defying gravity. But the Bulky Saiyan lifting it effortlessly from beneath wasn't defying gravity, his evil grin never leaving his cocky face. It would look like a spectacular show, if it didn't showcased just how much power the Saiyan freak truly had. After all, lifting a mountain wasn't even his warm up.
Both Saiyan father and son blasted the giant rock peak that was thrown at them into a storm of dust. However, they both felt Broly's power dashing through the fog into them, a sneak attack of stealth. But against energy sensing it wasn't very much furtive.
With two fingers to the forehead, the Ascended Saiyans disappeared with air shimmering around them just when Broly had flown out into sight. The gargantuan fighter looked around in sheer surprise, not finding his enemies. As far as he knew, he had left them there.
"Kamehameha!" Goku fast enchanted from behind, his hands going into his enemy with a wide blue blast capable of laying waste to many planets. The hulking titan sensed the energy blast coming his way. But he never felt Gohan coming from behind with his leg folded. The unexpected and also powerful kick to the back sent the confused Broly into the beam's path. The following mushroom cloud covered everything from sight, the clouds sent flying to the other side of the planet by the energy lashing.
Both Goku and Gohan panted a bit, their aura still bright around them. Hopefully, long enough. Because there was still energy coming from the epicenter of the blast.
Broly was indeed still alive, some places of his body churned black but pretty much still available for fighting. The monster only smirked with his trademark devil sadism. He shot his arms to the sides, his energy bursting again, strong enough to start moving Goku and Gohan away by the wind gales he was generating alone.
He had triplicated his powers.
The attack pod that landed finally opened its hatch. The figure of a man showed from inside, suddenly shooting like a bullet into the distance. He could feel powerful energies fighting.
"Those grunts are fighting against a monster. And I'm here cowering like a third-class!" The Prince's aura burned in golden colors, his Super Saiyan powers manifesting. He would show them who was the prince.
The two Ascended Super Saiyans were shocked in fear. They knew Broly wasn't going to be an easy opponent to beat but never to be of this kind of magnitude.
"His powers are limitless!" The Ascended hybrid stated, his dark blue eyes only staring at the green-shinning Devil. His father pretty much concurred in his mind.
The power increment was never noticed. Specially because of the Saiyan's giant fist uppercuting Gohan's chin and shocking his teenage brain inside his skull with monstrous magnitude. The monster grinned even more, his leg delivering a front foot to the hybrid's guts, bending him on painful reflex, Gohan's eyes bulging out of the sockets. Not even Cell hit this hard. The next thing he knew was a descendant fist to his back that sent him to hit the boulder-covered ground of the planet.
Goku was already dashing beyond light speed towards his gargantuan-sized enemy. Broly didn't bother in turning back. His elbow lazily folded backwards and hit the surprised Goku right in the nose bridge, the Godly strength almost sending the broken nose bone to the brain. The Super Saiyan two remained on foot and forgetting the pain briefly. He found Broly already on top of him, a green flash of light sending the father to meet the same fate of the son.
The towering god-like Saiyan smiled, enjoying the display he had performed for a first time. It wouldn't be long before the entire universe looked that way. He corked an eyebrow and spun around. There was something moving in.
"I'm the Prince of Saiyans, even you Broly!" The now Super Saiyan Vegeta bellowed with a smirk, his leg spinning and landing a roundhouse right into Broly's neck. The blow did nothing. The shorter Super warrior tried to back-flip away from his enemy but Broly had other plans. Faster than Vegeta, the gargantuan Saiyan clutched Vegeta's blue-clothed leg. The shorter fighter felt his limb about to break like a toothpick.
"Then try to make me kneel!" The Legendary warrior raged baleful, whipping the prince down into the floor, the stones cracking along with making Vegeta bleed all over his scratched face. With an almost very casual movement, Broly threw the prince away into the air, his other giant hand firing an Eraser Cannon against the shorter Super Saiyan.
Vegeta's body was sent flying away for a few miles into the horizon. It was suddenly intercepted by someone.
"Well, well, you are the infamous Vegeta, aren't you?" A male voice said towards the bleeding Prince almost sarcastically like he normally did towards others.
"What the..." The Prince mumbled, getting free from the one that had catched him. The person in question was a few inches shorter than him. If Vegeta had to gag a measure, the child would be a tad taller than Kakarot's brat. But most surprisingly, the kid had spiky main of black hair along with dark midnight eyes. The common Saiyan traits. Over his left eye he had a scar apparently result from a sword slash or maybe an energy cut. His chiseled body was covered by a fighting Gi, which resembled Goku's up to the last detail. Except this one was black with dark red undershirt and wristbands. But the design was exactly the same as on Earth.
"Who the Hell are you, brat?!" The Prince bellowed in anger, whipping the trickles of blood from his eyes and mouth.
"Long story for the after-fight" The apparent teenager replied with sarcasm looking at the amazing fight on the distance. Suddenly his body shifted with golden hue. His hair spiked up and his body bulked up. His black eyes became emerald-green as well.
With a yell of power, there was a new Super Saiyan in front of Vegeta, who pretty much had his mouth on the ground. How many more surprises would await for him in just one day?
The stranger shot through the air twenty times the speed of a bullet. The prince went after him. Whoever the new brat was he would not survive. He was far too weak to even last a second against the Legendary fighter of the universe.
Goku's eyes opened, his body still as an Ascended Super Saiyan. Though for how long that would last he had no idea. He was starting to lose power. As mighty as the Super Saiyan two was, it still put a slow energy drainage on his reserves that he still hadn't worked out. Gohan was already down and Piccolo too. Vegeta and himself were the last powerful option for survival. Though feeling the prince's current energy, it wouldn't do much that entertain the mad fighter before snapping their necks with ease.
The Ascended Saiyan's eyes widen for a second. There was another energy coming. Weak but at the same time familiar. Like a Super Saiyan.
Once close enough, Goku saw indeed a golden super warrior heading into the fray.
The new Saiyan flew head first into the pumped up enemy.
"Hey, over here you stupid gorilla!" The new Super Saiyan taunted with glee that the situation couldn't muster. His flight was directing into Broly, who remained there without moving away from the new comer. More pile of corps for him "Quite the steroids and fight like a true Saiyan!"
The elephant-sized warrior didn't take his time in answering back, instead heading straight for a one-shot clothesline. Instant death for the puny Super Saiyan.
Yet the same Super Saiyan flipped over the stretched limb, his body arching and his legs folding up to the chest like fetal baby. The sudden elution wasn't what Broly had first expected. It was never expected actually. The black Gi body kept moving the legs unfolding with ballistic strength. The double feet kicked the pumped fighter right in the forehead with a deafening shock wave. There was no damage done but the fact Broly was getting angrier was all that counted for the new Super Saiyan of the struggle.
The Legendary Saiyan shot a left hook with deadly accuracy to the new comer. But he let the blow come and let it roll away through his right side while he got into the Saiyan's midsection with a knee to the abdomen. A normal human would have been reduced to dust by the sheer pressure. But Broly wasn't scratched at all. The attacks were less than bug stings for the unflinching wall of Saiyan muscle.
The Super Saiyan smirked, air shimmering around his body. Broly only grabbed air, when his opponent had already reappeared a few feet away from him.
"What the...He's adapting against Broly's fighting style. And can do the Instant Transmission too!" The Ascended Saiyan raised on Earth thought to himself in amazement watching the fight. While learning how to understand your opponent's fighting style was something that could be done after year of fighting, the fact a youngster barely older than Gohan had so much experience already was the impressive thing.
The new Super Saiyan reappeared right above Broly's green haired head. As enjoyable as the fight was, he knew he had to end it soon. While his natural body-reading abilities were keeping him ahead of the monster, it would only be for a short time. He was only taxing himself by forcing his ability to its peak and beyond. His senses could tell this guy would only get stronger if given the chance.
He would thrive on such a challenge but even his insanity had limits.
There was a swirling ball of dark purple and blue energy in his left hand, two feet wide. The full power of his Saiyan heritage into one of his trademark attacks.
"Atom Smasher!" The Super Saiyan yelled in strength, his golden power bashing Broly's head from above. Massive sparkles of light exploded into the air like bright fireworks over the atmosphere. The power would have blasted something bigger than the Moon by at least three or five times.
The hubris-empowered monster was still alive, however, a just a tad displeased.
"Oh crap" The new Saiyan silently cursed to himself, Broly's body already on top of him. Too fast did he got hit by a painful head butt, followed by instantaneous left and right hooks to the cheekbones. Then a massive flash of green light and the new Super Saiyan disappeared into a massive hole deep in the ground. He had had no time to even think of what was going on.
"Just another dead scumbag!" The rage-filled fighter exclaimed, dropping the body like a common trash bag.
The prince had observed long enough. He took that lengthy distraction time to power up even further. His armor and blue clothes strained against his own bulky version of the 'Ascended' Super Saiyan. The one that didn't weight down.
"Big Bang Attack!" The powered-up Vegeta yelled, his bluish sphere landing right on Broly's back. The ensuing cloud of dust hid everything from sight. But the elephant-size Saiyan was still there unscathed. The pumped-up Vegeta was completely aghast, his body trembling in fear. All of his strength on that last blast and did absolutely nothing. He clutched his teeth, going against Broly for Hand-to-hand combat.
He didn't touch the skin before a casual backhand sent the now unconscious Vegeta away into a distant mountain hill. The Legendary Saiyan didn't bother in remarking his enemy's uselessness. This time wasn't worth it.
"Hey kid, are you okay?" A deep voice asked towards the beaten new Super Saiyan. Both were beneath the planet' surface, buried under tons of rocks. But still very much alive.
The black-haired fighter stood up with a migraine, looking at a green guy. Maybe he had gone insane while asleep. Or he might be in Heaven. But why would there be a green guy in Heaven?
"You are who?" The now normal black hair fighter asked towards the green alien from Earth.
"Not important" Piccolo replied cutting the bullshit, his eyes diverting up into where Broly was "But if you are going to help us then we might need to distract that monster" The Saiyan almost bursted in laughter before answering with a smirk. It wasn't a smile Piccolo would agree to. But the situation kind of demanded it.
"Give me a challenge"
While Broly simply stood over the cracked surface, a new figure showed up over the planet. But it wasn't another fighter. Its size was getting bigger a white tail of melting ice following from behind. The common trait of an incoming asteroid.
"Like if this planet exploding will stop me" The pump-up juggernaut stated a bit stoic, looking at the getting closer comet. He could blow it up without spending a tenth of his energies. But he went for the no. It would be better for the other weaklings to die that way while he lived to destroy. Such was his destined fate.
His ear perked up and he turned his neck ninety degrees. Goku was back on his feet. His orange clothes were torn but still holding to his bulky body. His blue eyes were firm on his super brawny opponent.
"Well, the trash has some fight left!" The overgrown legendary fighter of the universe landed an uppercut to the belly, boulders flying from the epicenter like a hurricane. The explosive strength lifted Goku from the ground, who was still attached to the hand his mouth sending spite out, his organs breaking under the onslaught. A descendant elbow to his back sent the Saiyan from Earth to meet the soil with a deafening thud that spread even more cracks.
Broly only increased his grin of Hell, raising Goku's limpish body and engulfing his rival into a bear hug. A bear hug that could smash diamonds into dust. The Ascended Saiyan screamed to the Heavens, his body unable to escape the Death grip.
"Fool, did you really think you had the power to beat me?!" The gargantuan fighter screamed with malice, his bear hug only increasing over Goku' smaller frame. The smaller Saiyan struggled to get free but was being slowly and painfully overwhelmed, the place around them shattering even more. Goku felt his lungs getting heavier and expelling the oxygen out. The pressure kept growing like if an entire solar system was constricting his chest. The Earth Saiyan had no way out "I'm unbeatable!"
"Like if you were the first one to come up with that stupid monologue!" The Ascended Super Saiyan from Earth retorted seriously, grunting noises coming from his mouth by the constricting pressure on him capable of moving planets and moons alike. Then he knew what to do. Just like what he and Gohan would have done if Cell had gotten out of hand. Dangerous but in his situation, it was do or die.
Goku balled his hands in tight fists, focusing whatever remained of his ki reserves.
"Kaioken times three!" Goku screamed to the Kais and all the other deities, his new surge of power cracking the ground a bit more and chunks of stones flying into the distance. The red and golden amplified Saiyan shot his head forward, his monstrous head butt landing right on Broly's nose. The concentrated strength made the hulking fighter to recoil, his nose bleeding by the unholy strength of the martial Arts Champion. Goku would have non of that. Now free and with the temporal advantage, The red-powered man forcefully grabbed Broly's head and smashed it again with another head strike. And then another and another, each caving the ground right at their feet for almost yards deep and wide. Seen from space, one could make out the cavernous trench the blows had and were still creating during the deathwatch trading.
After five consecutive blows, the Earth hero stopped with his breath heavy and only getting worse. The raging warrior brushed the green blood from his face. His white eyes were only glaring at one thing alone.
"Kakarot!" The humongous beast yelled top lounge, his aura bursting in golden and green colors. And again, his powers skyrocketed now duplicated. Goku's red aura banished, leaving a frightened panting fighter.
"What the Hell is he?" Goku whispered. Broly wasn't a fighter. He wasn't a Saiyan. He was a monster. One that had crawled out of Hell to haunt every life on the universe and extinguish them. Even the Earth's Champion was starting to doubt how to get out of this one in one piece.
The bulky fighter accelerated, his elephant of a fist going uppercut and delivering an almost-piercing attack to his old child nemesis. Goku spat blood from his mouth, Broly's fist making a bulge in the orange Gi of his back. His other free hand went clothesline, the shorter fighter hit by a massive super runaway train. Train that could crash asteroids to nothing. His body went soaring through the air almost igniting by the sheer friction.
Gohan suddenly intercepted his father's falling body. The half alien wasn't in any better condition than his dad, with a swollen eye in purple, his lips bleeding and a wide slash that covered most of his exposed chest. But he could fight a bit more.
The youngster let his father on the ground with care, his sapphire eyes staring murderous into his enemy.
"Kaioken times three!" The Ascended Half-Saiyan echoed to the heavens, his aura going red and gold. His powers were still a bit higher than his father's, so Gohan could hold for longer. To what result, nobody knew.
"Same old trick?" Broly taunted with a snicker. Whatever future comment he had was cut short by Gohan banishing on thin air, reappearing microseconds later right in front of the hulking figure, his knee hitting right into Broly's already shattered nose bridge. The Legendary Saiyan jerked his head back on painful instinct, the red-and-golden super warrior somersaulting over him. His legs were lightning fast, now landing a sharp boot to the back of the green-haired head. The attack cracked the world even more and sent the uncoordinated elephant-size fighter forward, his feet moving drowsily. The shorter Saiyan went left, Broly turning around and copying him. Gohan briefly smirked, his faint paying off. By the time Broly met Gohan, that same hybrid was already banishing in hologram. Too late did the juggernaut saw the charade, the true Super Saiyan descending from the dark atmosphere with his knee down and aiming for the shoulder-blade. The attack was meteor-like and shook miles of earth with unmeasurable earth tremors.
Broly had been the one piledrived now. Gohan saw as the perfect revenge.
The entire landscape was set ablaze by the rampaging devil. He showed up in dark green splendor from the surface's crevices.
"I'll break you in half!" Broly yelled forgetting the painful sensations by the blows, his speed accelerated and grabbing Gohan's neck with his humongous hand. The demi Saiyan was being choked, air no longer going inside his lounges and his body losing the red color. Then Broly clutched one of Gohan's leg and lifted him effortlessly into the air. The Legendary warrior was grinning, his right leg bending in ninety degrees with his knee cap up and ready. It needed no explanation what was going to come but pure gore and agony.
"Special Beam Cannon!" Piccolo's drilling attack landed on Broly's temples. Had the hulking figure been less powerful, the piercing energy would have blasted his head into nothing but sprayed brain matter over the floor. However, with his current strength, it barely annoyed him.
"What was that supposed to be, green bug?" The elephant-size fighter asked sardonically towards the still-alive Namekian. Piccolo was bleeding all over but still resisting to the end. His giant hands were still up with Gohan attached to the vice grip.
"I call it distraction" The unkillable Namek answered with a smile. Just when he finished, Goku was already above Broly and took his son away with Instant Transmission. The Legendary Saiyan had no time to wonder, when his hands were promptly grasping air. During that same time, the new Super Saiyan comer teleported right under Broly's nose.
Literally, because he was not even half an inch away from the hulking fighter. Then the new man did something that could either be plain stupid or plain brilliant. Maybe both at the same time.
"Got your nose!" The new Super Saiyan mocked, his hand grabbing the shattered nose. He was literally looking at the Grim Reaper in the eye but was making fun of him. The more he acted, the angrier Broly was getting and more blood oozed from the shattered nose.
"You...bastard!" The bulky figure yelled, his scream almost ear-splitting. His body again unleashed a devastating ki wave of power, rocking the planet to the point of almost tearing it apart and sending the youngster and the Namekian careening away like flies in the wind. His powers had again increased two times. The green pumped Saiyan clutched his teeth in anger and hatred. He shot into the air, a few miles above the ground.
The mud ball had existed long enough for his taste along with the insects that dared to touch him!
"Time for you to lie dead at my feet!" The Legendary monster bellowed, his hand shinning with a small green sphere no bigger than his hand. An attack that could destroy nothing short of two or three solar systems. The devilish grin at display, the mammoth-sized creature lazily threw his hand forward.
Both Goku and Gohan mustered back their remaining power of Super Saiyan two and cupped their hands right. They were right in the sphere's path.
"Kame...Hame..." The blue energy appeared on their hands, shinning over the dark world "HAAAA!" The two Turtle blasts joined together as one much stronger that hit the little ball. When it touched though, the green sphere expanded a hundred times its size almost like becoming a green Sun. The Saiyan duet planted their feet in the earth, trying to gain any leverage, however little it could be.
"Dad, we need more power!" Gohan yelled. With all the chaos going around he had to scream or his dad might not hear him. And he didn't have enough energy to actually talk in their minds. The hybrid barely have enough to walk. He was going on by sheer Saiyan stubbornness. Thank goodness for being Goku' son.
Amazingly, over the chaos, the martial artist did hear his child. Their auras slowly gained a red tint. As strained as they were, they had to push even further. It was the first thing a Saiyan learned in a fight. Never giving up despite the unyielding odds.
"Kaioken times four!" The Saiyan duet enchanted their auras igniting with white-hot temperature equal to a yellow star. The ground kept cracking with spider webs running over the churned and blasted planet. The energies swirled like a cosmic maelstrom of destruction. The entire planet seemed to be moaning to the Heavens so the nightmare could end.
The new surge of strength only pushed the green Sun one or two inches back.
"Die, fools!" The Legendary Saiyan said elated, finally getting rid of the pests. He summoned more of his infinite energies into the blast that kept its ground. It was a perfect stalemate.
Broly's extended arm towards his beam, however, suddenly expanded its muscles with veins poking the invulnerable skin. The hulky warrior widened his white eyes in frightful realization "No!" The fighter bellowed, now his other muscles over his body contracting without him doing it. Broly's energy was suddenly decreasing exponentially. His muscles were bulging, over-strained by the constant and unrestrained power ups he had forced.
His energies might be on a godly scale but his body still remained pretty much as a puny mortal one. As a mortal, he had limits.
The green Sun no longer moved and the two fighters of Earth saw the lingering last chance right in front of them.
For a brief second, the chaos had subsided. It allowed Goku to see and hear Gohan louder and clearer. It was both ways.
"Now!" Goku ordered out-loud, Gohan not needing to answer "HAAA!" The Saiyan family duet enchanted, their attacks sending the giant green Sun backwards with an overpowering flow of dazzling blue ki, right into its strained and fatigued owner.
"Kakarot!" That was the last thing Broly yelled when not only his blast but also the combined Turtle Waves washed him over like a common rag doll. The burning warrior was flying without any kind of control, his skin slowly and painfully peeling off from his flesh by the searing attack. The humongous Saiyan was sent spiraling up and outside the planet like a living comet. Right into an, ironical, incoming astronomical object. The Fighter of Legends had long ago lost his voice and most of his muscle mass, when the gigantic flying object that could obliterate planets impacted him. Or maybe he had impacted it. Depended from your point of view. The entire Comet Camori exploded into thousands of little pieces not bigger than a cat, descending over the sky of New Vegeta like falling stars brimming over the sheer blackness of space.
Broly's monstrous energy was gone. It had disappeared.
The overlooker of the North Galaxy sighed in relief. At last it had ended.
"Good job Goku, well done" The Kai said with a smile towards one of his best pupils.
The sky over New Vegeta brighten up a bit, showcasing the new scars of its surface after the titanic fight. Though to be honest, there hadn't been a fight there, it had been a massacre. Goku and Gohan dropped to the ground landing on their sore backs. Their chests heft up and down in built-up fatigue. Plumes of smoke rose from their blistered hands but they paid no heed. After all, they had their fair share of more-serious injuries over their ragged bodies to take care off. After something to eat, of course.
"Guess we did it" The newly arriver said jokingly, dropping to the ground and landing on his butt with a sigh of relief, the upper part of his black Gi gone into the wind with a trickle of dry blood on his forehead and lips. He was now black hair and with a small smile of victory. It had been quite some time since he had such a good fight. Well, not a lot from his perspective but a lot from the others' point of view once he had explained his weird life.
"Alright kid, you have some explaining to do once we get back to Earth" Piccolo said towards the new comer, sitting in the ground. It would take a few minutes before his body recovered enough energy to teleport everyone back to Earth.
"Whatever" The black-haired fighter lazily replied resting on the ground, hands behind his head as a pillow.
"Where's Vegeta in all this?" Goku asked groggily, his eyes looking around for just a second and then not caring about anything else.
"Knock out cold by a backhand" The spiky-haired teenager replied, lazily waving his hand towards what used to be mountain peaks. Now were nothing but scattered rubble.
After a few minutes of very needed rest and after finding the unconscious Prince Vegeta sleeping on the debris, the pack of warriors of Earth grabbed hands and teleported away. Hopefully this could be left forgotten like so many other insanities of their lives.
Back on the green and blue planet and now on the Lookout, all the fighters and their families were gathered on the white tilling of the Kami's high spot. Those that had fought Broly had received a Senzu or Dende healing and a change of clothes. And in Saiyan's case, an increase in their strengths. No one that had seen the young man dressed in a black Gi fighting Broly was surprised when the teenager's powers increased after healing. He was a Saiyan, no second question about that.
But the question was how was that possible in the first place.
"Alright kid, where do you want to start?" Piccolo started in his stoic demeanor, dressed in his newly materialized purple outfit with weights.
"You start, I'm the one that has to answer here" The youngster responded with an innocent smile.
"Well, first, thanks for helping us" Goku thanked now glad that someone helped them survive that particular nightmare. One that he and everyone agreed to never feel again. Even the other Earthlings had felt the powerful onslaught of blows in the distance.
"The name's Tarroc" The apparent Saiyan responded. The royal Saiyan corked an eyebrow. That was indeed a Saiyan name.
"Could you tell us about your parents?" Bulma asked a bit intrigued by the prospect of a new Saiyan. The new comer thought it for a few seconds before answering.
"My father's name was Tarsum and my mother's was Lub" The apparent half alien replied. No one detected a lie in his voice. However, his answer had caused another steer.
"What?!" Vegeta yelled/asked at the same time without noticing what he had done.
"Wait, you know who he is talking about?" Bulma asked Vegeta.
"Tarsum was the name of my father's brother!" The prince bellowed. Everybody had their eyes wide in shock. So that meant...
"Right in the spot, cousin V" The demi alien joked a bit, his hands lazily resting behind his head. Everyone fell on their backs anime style.
"Alright, let's better start from the beginning, shall we?" The scientist woman suggested, trying to make some head or tail from this entanglement.
"Okay. As you all know, Saiyans lived in planet Vegeta after defeating the Tuffles in the last war" The black-haired teenager started, though Gohan rose his hand. The new fighter almost rose an eyebrow by the antics but he wouldn't say anything out loud.
"What's a Tuffle?" Gohan asked curious.
"In planet Vegeta existed a race called Tuffles" Vegeta interfered now, as always armed folded over his white-armored chest. He had a new smile of pride. Like if he had won something special "When we Saiyans reached the planet they started using us as their slaves. We then revolted and destroyed until the last one of them" The new hybrid on the Lookout, however, only snickered by the stupid comment.
"Really Vegeta? Slaves? That's the best lie your father could come up with?" The new hybrid asked sardonically to the widow-peak fighter.
"What would you know? You weren't born at that time" The Prince cut out.
"Neither were you" The half alien replied matter-of-factly, making Vegeta to growl in anger. By the way the prince was going, it was obvious a fight was going to befall in a couple of seconds.
"That's another topic, people" Goku interfered to stop any possible fight, knowing too well Vegeta's little patience and anger issues. The palm-haired fighter looked back at the new comer "Please, go on"
"As I was saying, after the Saiyans won over the Tuffles, a council was formed between the strongest Saiyans at the time" The hybrid explained "Diplomacy and democracy aren't exactly terms Saiyans apply on their lives but at that time, it was better than wagging war with each other for a mere piece of landscape to live on"
"As such, two names were making a lot of fuss with the elections of who would lead us as king. One was Vegeta Senior. The other was his brother and my father Tarsum"
"And my father won" Vegeta said now with his common grin of superiority.
"Yes, he did. But not in a fight" The hybrid replied with a very similar grin. It was obvious they were blood relatives "Despite what many Saiyans believed at that time, King Vegeta wasn't the strongest fighter of our race. In fact the only reason my father didn't butcher his own brother in a combat that he would have won eyes-closed was because the council's decision had already been taken" Those raised on Earth didn't know a lot about those topics so they just heard to make a conclusion later on.
"In those times after just discovering how to use Tuffle measurement technology, The Saiyan council decided to check on all the Saiyans powers. Vegeta's father ranked the ten thousand but my father ranked the twenty thousand"
"That's bullshit!" The flamed-haired pure warrior prince yelled in anger "My father was the strongest Saiyan!"
"And yet he never accepted any challenges for the crown" The hybrid replied with smirk of confidence "Why do you think that happen? Surely he was strong enough to defend his so-called royalty, right?" The prince remained with his anger towards the disbeliever.
"The only reason Vegeta Senior was appointed king was because he had just recently had what my father at the time didn't" The black-haired half Saiyan explained even further "A child" The prince wasn't going to believe that kind of shit. He knew his father had been the strongest.
"After the choice was taken, Vegeta was appointed king. My father, however, refused to work for his own dim-witted brother. But before a civil war had caught the entire race in the crossfire, the Arcosians approached us with more technology in exchange of getting them a suitable planet" Tarroc pressed the topic forward "With new technology and our powers increasing, the Planet Trade showed up before we knew what hit us. And with Frieza's powers capable of blowing up any scouter, the mighty king pledged his slavery into the lizard, suddenly forgetting about his troublesome brother"
"Now with more technology available and knowing his brother was nothing but a wretched idiot that would rather stick his head into Frieza's ass rather than actually trying to stand against him and die with honor, my father left the planet in search for a new home" The spiky-haired man took a breath after the long explanation.
"I met Frieza. My dad beat him a few years ago" Gohan chimed in now "And by how things looked on Namek, he was terrified by the fact a Saiyan could reach his same power. So wouldn't he have gone after the strongest Saiyan, if your father was indeed the most powerful?" Tarroc nodded in confirmation.
"You are correct. But my father wasn't a fool. His prowess gave him quite a lot of fans. Many with connections. Not only inside the Planet Trade but also on Vegeta" The alien explained "Bardock was one of his main sources" Vegeta's eyes widen. He knew that name. Raditz used to mention it a lot like a powerful legend or myth.
"Kakarot! That's your father's name" The Prince said towards his long-time nemesis.
"Wait my father?" The palm-haired Earth's fighter asked incredulously.
"Bardock had been one of the members of the council" The spiky-haired hybrid explained now towards Goku and in turn Gohan, because they were both Bardock's relatives "He only had a power of six thousand but in those times, it was pretty elite. Even after a few years of increasing his strength, Bardock remained known as a low-class, pretty much because he didn't want to get a lot of attention from the King or worse, Frieza. And it was because he knew how to keep a low profile that allowed him to gather any relevant information of the Planet Trade's actions. Well, not a lot but surely enough to discretely help" Goku looked at Gohan in surprise. He had never paid that much of attention to his deceased family. But apparently his father had been a good guy. Or at least not the most evil one.
"Besides, he was my father's favorite cousin" The hybrid commented with a shrug of shoulders.
"Cousin?" The palm-haired fighter asked in confusion.
"Oh yeah, I think I should explain on that" Tarroc said again "You see, my father and King Vegeta were the children of Cron and Sarazade. But Sarazade's sister, Agra had a child with Kael and Bardock was born"
"So that means..." Goku said realizing something. However, he was stopped on his tracks.
"Save your relative theories until the end of the story, please" The hybrid said already knowing how the conversation will end.
"Where was I?" The teenager rubbed his chin in thought "Oh yeah, thanks to my father's influence he managed to elude any homicidal attempt on his life. Then he arrived Earth"
"Shouldn't someone so powerful be felt by anyone on Earth? Roshi, Korin even Kami" Krillin asked arms folded. They looked at Piccolo for an answer.
"I don't remember feeling a great power at that time" Piccolo explained stoic. It was true. Kami or King Piccolo never felt a powerful energy before.
"I think I forgot to mention that unlike many Saiyans, who worked with whatever machine they had no matter how malfunctional it could get, my father wanted complete discretion and efficiency. That was why he stopped at one planet while traveling and had engineers put power-masking devices on his ship and on a suitable armor" The hybrid explained "My own ship has those devices, that's why non of you felt my incoming ship when you were fighting Broly"
"How about your mother?" Chichi asked now.
"My father lived on Earth for a few months" Tarroc pressed his story "You know, a lot of water, animals, wide space to train, no one from Planet Trade could detect him and a lot of Full Moons so to gain control of the Ozaru form. Pretty much everything he needed. Until one day he met my mother"
"My father told me that my mum was looking for a Dragon Ball, I think it was" The hybrid pondered that "She said that she had to find one and give it to her father so to get away from an unwanted marriage betrothal"
"Well, to cut story short, they fell in love and decided to not pay attention and live away on their own" The Saiyan kept on.
"What about your Gi?" Yamcha asked now "I don't think it looks like ours by just coincidence" After all himself, Krillin and Goku and now the new hybrid had the same outfit.
"Oh this thing?" The hybrid replied pointing at his dark clothes "It was my mother's idea. Apparently she had been fans of someone called Kame-Sen'nin and he was famous for been the Martial Arts Champion of Earth" The fighters looked at each other in surprise. So Master Roshi was involved in some way. The old pervert "My father created an outfit that resembled the one my mother showed him thanks to ki creation" The hybrid showed it by suddenly creating a chair out of thin air with only his energy alone. The earthlings weren't exactly surprised. Most of them could do that too. But how he learnt it was the mystery.
"If you wonder how I learnt it, it was something my father and I thought. Besides it's only mind focus and energy concentration" The hybrid explained casually before resuming his story.
"Well, after my mother gave birth to me, she passed away" Tarroc explained his tone a tone lower but he kept a cool mask "Saiyan pregnancy isn't easy for other alien races, even those that are biologically compatible. That's why Saiyan hybrids are rare to find" Bulma rubbed her head. Sure Trunks' birth hadn't been easy but to be a death sentence?
"Now with a child, my father decided to leave the planet as he no longer had any reasons to stay" The fighter took a brief pause to gather the remaining thoughts.
"What year do you think you left?" Bulma asked now trying to make Maths on the history.
"I don't know" The Saiyan shrugged his shoulders a bit exasperated "I think year seven hundred thirty-seven" The CEO went mind-shock.
"Why is that so important?" Goku asked, not understanding.
"Goku, at that time, you were just arriving Earth" The science female told towards her friend, who opened his eyes "Remember? When I found you and you told me you were only twelve?" Goku did remember that.
"Wait a minute! you are trying to tell me that this young man is actually my age?" The Martial Arts Champion asked in disbelief.
"Can I finish my story before the inquirement starts?" The apparent relative to another Saiyan and not-aged asked. Everyone nodded. Things were only getting interesting.
"As I was saying, my father and I started traveling from planet to planet, some with heavier gravity than Earth, others with almost no oxygen. We even saw how a planet exploded and its remains turned nuclear green" The half Saiyan explained some of his adventures "For some bizarre reason"
"Okay we get the picture, you traveled a lot" Vegeta commented not wanting more stupid little details. The hybrid had to really suppress the urges of punching the prince. It was as his father had said. The Vegeta's impatience was as endearing as a kick in the balls. He prayed he didn't inherit that particular trait.
"Yes, and it was traveling that we helped a Yadrat. In turn he taught us the Instant Transmission" He explained, suddenly teleporting behind the fighters and back in the original place in short time. One other thing explained.
"Well, we just went over the universe, training or eating" The hybrid explained. His face got darker for a second "But then we run out of luck"
"What happen?" Gohan asked, the story getting into some very serious territory.
"Apparently on our rush to repair the ships, it fell on a planet" The hybrid explained "And the tyrant ruling the planet wasn't very friendly with intruders" He suddenly sighed before going on "The emperor was weak but his top warrior wasn't"
"His name was Ledgic, a powerful Tsukuru-seijinn" The demi alien explained, trying to fully explain that fateful day "And he always got the job done" That didn't sound good. Not at all.
"By that time, my father alone could have survived Frieza without getting scratched and so could I. He never stopped the little lizard because he didn't have further plans for the Planet Trade. But Ledgic...he was something completely different. Frieza was nothing but a coward pussy next to him. I don't know for how long we holded our own but even two on one did no permanent harm to the bastard. Even my fighting-copy ability wasn't helping me"
"That's what you did with Broly right?" Goku asked, remembering the fight he had watched "Before he beat you, that is"
"It's not different from any other fighter like all of you" Tarroc said with a shrug of shoulders "If you fight long enough, your mind and body will naturally adapt against any enemy's fighting style, even if your opponent is a bit stronger than you. Saiyans are natural at this ability, only mine showed up since I was born" He sighed, trying to go back to his story. But it wasn't easy.
"Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, I got distracted" The teenager explained, anger bubbling in his voice "And then Ledgic' sword does this!" He points at his face, more accurately to his scar eyebrow that framed his face "That was the first slash though. The second would have gone through my heart, had my father not pushed me aside" The air around him was getting hotter, obviously something manifesting.
"He ordered me to leave and I had to forcefully compel" The half alien kept on, black eyes getting watery and dark green "Once my ship left orbit the entire planet exploded!" His teeth were being smashed by the pressure he was unconsciously applying to them "I don't know what happened, I don't know who survived if anyone did. All I know it's that I was so furious, so angry that my rage took over my mind and..." His hands were balled in tight fist almost drawing blood from the palms. His hair was moving back and forth.
"You transformed" Goku finished for him. He knew that special kind of anger that could burn you from the inside out. Tarroc took a few seconds to calm his mind before answering.
"Transforming for the first time in Super Saiyan it's not something you should do on a very enclosed space" Tarroc explained his body no longer showing sings of transforming "My ship's functions failed and I got out of whatever path I settled. I landed hours later on planet Polaris, a cold freezing Hell with temperatures that reached the hundred degrees below zero. My ship didn't have a lot of battery left so it instantly shut off, leaving me in a static field. A sort of hibernation. My body healed though and you know that Saiyans only get stronger after a fight. But I was in coma so I wasn't exactly aware of anything going around me"
"So you've been in coma for the last ten years or so?" Bulma asked in surprise. That should explain why he was chronologically as old as Goku but at the same time with the biological body of someone near Gohan's age.
"Yeah pretty much" The fighter responded. As weird as it sounded, he was used to it. He was a Saiyan.
"How did you wake up?" Gohan asked to the also teenager.
"I'm still trying to figure it out myself" The also demi Saiyan replied honestly "Apparently another ship arrived to the planet and the disturbance of whoever commanded it released me from hibernation" Tarroc stated not even himself understanding his freedom "But that wasn't the weird part. There aren't a lot of animal fauna in such a frozen Hell but whatever there was, there are no longer. Whoever those people were, they sucked the animals dry of their energies, leaving nothing behind. I wasn't find because I know how to suppress my powers to near zero and to my special ship technology" The others looked to each other. That was bizarre if they had to say it out loud.
"Not much after that. My ship still needed some repairs but I managed to make it work one final time and then I set course for the nearest high power of the galaxy" He stated, suddenly laughing. His black eyes diverted into his widow peak-haired relative "Who would have thought it would be Vegeta, my cousin"
"Speaking of an elephant in the room" Krillin joked.
"Alright let's get this family tie settle" Goku exclaimed "You are Vegeta's cousin because of your father. But at the same time you are Bardock's cousin because of your grandmother" Goku's brain wasn't good for maths but it surely worked fast on this particular calculation "That means that you are my cousin?"
"Second cousin to you and third cousin to..." The spiky haired teenager stated and looked at Gohan, but didn't remember his name "Gohan, was it?" The hybrid nodded.
"That means that Gohan and I are Vegeta's relatives?" Goku asked not hiding the disgust in his tone.
"Just when our lives were getting back to normal" Gohan joked but didn't work that good.
"Look everyone, these changes nothing. You two are still the strongest fighters" Tarroc said towards Goku and Gohan "The green guy over there is still green" Piccolo looked with an eyebrow raised "And Vegeta is still the same arrogant daft that hates your guts off" The comment pop a vein of anger in the prince's head but the hybrid didn't pay heed to that. Hopefully, it would give Vegeta the stroke everybody wanted "Life is still normal for everybody here" He then thought for a few seconds "Or as normal as your lives can be" Everybody jerked an eyebrow. There was no such thing as normal with them.
"Whatever. As far I know, you are only another encumbrance in my life" The prince growled in anger taking off into his home. Everybody knew he was going to train and get stronger than Goku and Gohan. And now Tarroc. While Vegeta was stronger than the latter, the fighting-style mimicry might not be so easy to beat.
"You know, you could come with us" Gohan chimed in "Maybe Vegeta doesn't want to be your family, but we do. I mean, you would be like my brother"
"Sure cousin" Tarroc smiled towards his also teenager relative and then to Goku "And you too, cousin" He was already taunting them. The hybrid did work fast.
"We'll work on that" The palm-haired fighter stated. He enjoyed having a new relative. With some training, Tarroc could equal Gohan and himself in just years and help protect Earth.
The Universe was quite mysterious. Things could look bad yet change in the blink of an eye into something good.
Notes from Chapter 28:
If you don't understand what happens with Broly's power ups then start re-reading my Blogs and don't ask anything else.
I know many would love if I were to write a "Second Coming" but no. Broly is dead and not showing up ever again.
I know it looks weird Piccolo surviving things that even Super Saiyans can't. But the Namekian survived pretty much everything in the original movie so mine can live for eternity.
The OC Tarroc was an idea of author Mjh Hunter, a long-time fan of my stories and current writer of an X-Dragon spin-off. He designed the appearance, most of his special abilities and first power level, which is equal to my Perfect Cell of this story. I designed the name, background and energy attacks.
Tarroc's background doesn't follow cannon though it does follow MY cannon material in this story.
Tarroc looks a bit crazy and to be fair, he's the funniest and at the same serious most character I could write. Kind of Deadpool.
Just a little reminder of GT, where Ledgic recognized Goku as a Saiyan, which means he had met them before and now you know why.
The name 'tarroc' is pun for 'carrot' (Don't complain because Kakarot is a complete malformation of the vegetable. Besides Goku doesn't use that name a lot)
'Tsukuru' is Japanese for 'make' or 'create' which fits Ledgic's ability of materializing things (For those that did enjoy GT and think Super Saiyan 4 is stronger than God)
The 'ones' that woke up Tarroc will show up later on. Though if you know how to read between lines, then you already know who they are.
