Everyone in the battle was now unsure of what to do. How could they deal with the unstable, unbelievably powerful Broly?
"...Didn't you take precautions to make sure he didn't follow us out?" Cell asked Freiza in a whisper as he landed next to him.
"Yes." Freiza answered. "I don't get how he managed to get around those countermeasures though..."
"FOOLS!" Broly laughed. "YOU REALLY THOUGHT THOSE OBSTACLES COULD HOLD ME DOWN IN HELL?!"
Broly fired off one of his Blaster Shells from his hands, aiming and throwing it at Freiza and Cell. They didn't even have time to brace themselves before its impact!
"You cannot contain me!" Broly laughed. "NO ONE CAN! Now… To finish what I started with you, Kakarot..." Broly said, turning to Goku.
"You..." Goku growled, standing up. "You did this..."
Broly just laughed more. "You now suffer what I suffer, Kakarot! Your pain is now my pain! Excruciating, isn't it?" He grinned.
"Why?!" Goku screamed, tears in his eyes. "WHY?! THANKS TO YOU, EARTH IS NOW DEAD! MILLIONS ARE DEAD, AND THEY CAN'T BE BROUGHT BACK!"
Broly just smiled in a sick fashion. "The magic is gone, Kakarot. The dream is over... Welcome... to reality."
Goku's barely restrained temperament was pushed over the edge. His temperament was decimated. Even someone like Goku can only take so much before completely exploding, and right now, it was exploding time.
Unknowingly, he was not alone in this aspect.
"You killed him!" Ruco growled. "In cold blood, and with a low blow! That was a dirty trick!"
"Broly, you coward!" Kayl snarled. "You shot him in the back, he didn't even get a chance to fight back!"
"You have no honor, Broly! No valor, there is nothing but shame from such an action! YOU SHAME OUR RACE! YOU SHAME US ALL!" Naeb yelled.
All three of the brother's power levels then spiked up beyond what everyone thought they were capable of! They were engulfed in their auras, powering up as their eye colors changed to blue, hair color changing from their family's jet-black to the heroic gold of Super Saiyan!
"Oh, no..." Freiza sighed, his face in his palm. "Three more?! I swear, these "Super Saiyans" are popping out of the woodwork like termites..."
The brothers, engulfed in rage, charged at Broly unleashing a storm of Ki blasts in the process! Broly was caught off guard, blindsided by the sudden attack! Kayl drop-kicked Broly, stunning him as he backpedaled a few paces! Naeb then powered up one of the Saiyan army's signature attacks: The Riot Javelin! He threw the spear of energy at Broly, hitting him straight in the gut! The impact, combined with the explosion, sent Broly into the air!
Ruco then unleashed a Hell zone Grenade volley, an energy technique he learned from a space-traveling Namekian! He threw the energy orbs, and they surrounded Broly as he hovered in the air! Then, Ruco brought his hands together, and the orbs slammed into Broly, detonating on contact! Broly was left with some serious burns, but he spun around and out of the smoke, recovering from the deadly attack!
"Woah!" Ruco exclaimed. "That didn't kill him…?"
"Pathetic..." Broly sneered, firing a series of Blaster Shells at the brothers!
"Oh, no you don't!" Naeb snapped, firing his Breaker Cannon, causing the Blaster Shells to detonate prematurely, and also striking another blow on Broly!
Amazingly, Broly took the attack head-on! He teleported right up to Naeb, hovering right in front of him!
"Uh, Kayl?" Naeb asked. "Any bright, flamboyant ideas for this situation?"
Goku and Vegeta then rushed Broly, tackling him out of the way! That gave Naeb some time to distance himself from Broly!
Broly got up and threw Goku and Vegeta off of him! He proceeded to laugh once again.
"Is that the best you can do?" Broly taunted.
Goku let out a feral scream, charging at Broly once again with Vegeta close behind!
Broly was unphased, and grabbed Goku and Vegeta by their fists, starting to crush them in his giant hands! Goku and Vegeta let out yells of pain, as their wrists started to crack from the pressure!
"Back off!" Naeb then threw another Riot Javelin at Broly, hitting him straight in the head again! Broly released his grip, stumbling backwards as he was blinded by the blast's light!
Ruco then saw his chance! He fired more Hell zone Grenades at Broly, keeping him pinned.
"Kakarot! Prince Vegeta! Now!" He snapped.
Goku then charged up his Kamehameha, and Vegeta his Gallick Gun! As soon as Broly's vision returned, he was looking into two united energy beams, going straight for him! He held up his arms in defiance, blocking it with sheer will!
Kayl knew this had to end now! At any cost! He joined in with Goku and Vegeta's attack with his Blast Cannon! Ruco then joined in with a Full-Power Energy Beam, and Naeb with his Breaker Cannon! Their combined attack power shot the beam's energy through the roof, and Broly was sent flying into space on the wave, disintegrating from the awesome combined power of the beam! Broly was no more!

Goku walked over to Omega Shenron's corpse. The other villains had run off at this point. Goku didn't know if they would be back, but to him, it didn't matter. The Dragon Balls were gone… He still couldn't believe that they were gone! Chi-Chi, Bulma, and the others saw everything from the ship before it landed. They were all devastated by what Broly did.
"I've failed..." Goku knelt down, lowering his head as he picked up a fragment of the Four-Star Dragon Ball. "I tried so hard… I tried so hard to save the Earth, and yet I failed..."
Kayl saw tears start to fall from Goku's eyes again. He felt horrible as well. So did Ruco and Naeb. No one knew what to say. Or what to do for that matter.
Ruco walked over to Goku, overlooking the corpse of Omega Shenron with a sad frown. He knelt down. "I… I barely knew you… You risked everything for my brother, us, and now…" Ruco couldn't stop the tears falling from his eyes, as he covered his face with his hands. Kayl and Naeb walked up, trying to comfort his younger brother. But they also were struggling to keep their sadness in check.
Beerus watched as the emotion played out across the Sayians and humans. For the first time, he felt something he had not felt for a long time. Something he had forgotten in the ages since he took up the God of Destruction mantle. He felt sympathy. Genuine Sympathy. These warriors fought so hard to save their home, and even more. But could he do anything to help them? Then, he had an idea. The other gods owed him a few favors, specifically one of the ones of creation!
"Whis, you are thinking what I'm thinking?" Beerus said, a grin forming on his face.
"Oh, most definitely, Lord Beerus." Whis said, smiling. "I'll get ready to make the arrangements with Lord Atori-Tomiyama."
"Please, make it so." Beerus said. Whis teleported off. Beerus then walked up to Goku and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't despair. There is a way to fix this..." He spoke. "As for who broke Broly and the others out of hell, I believe we will find the ones who are responsible..."
Omega Shenron was nowhere. He was alone, floating in a complete void. Was this hell? Or something worse? He could not feel anything, could not see anything. It was totally dark, silent, lifeless. He felt weak, and so cold… Bitterly cold…
He could hear faint, distorted voices. It sounded like someone he once knew, but who? They then slowly grew more focused. There was a light! He could see a light! But he felt so weak…
"Omega! You need to wake up!" One of the voices said, as it became clearer. It was Goku!
"Does he need more energy?" Another voice said. It was Ruco that time!
The light then grew brighter!
"Wake up, Omega! Come on! Come back!" Ruco said. That's when Omega realized the voice was coming from the light!
Omega reached for the light, angling himself to move towards it! It grew brighter, and brighter, until he was engulfed in it! It became so bright, he had to shut his eyes!
When he opened them again, he was surrounded by Goku, Vegeta, Naeb, Ruco, Kayl, Whis, Beerus, and someone else in white robes and a hood!
"He's back!" Ruco cheered. He helped Omega sit up.
"Good work, Atori-Toriyama." Beerus said. "I believe this makes us even?"
"It had better." Atori-Toriyama said. "Especially considering you work so hard destroying everything I build."
Beerus shrugged his shoulders. "Hey, we all have our tasks in the great plan."
Atori-Toriyama then vanished, teleporting away.
"Feeling okay?" Kayl asked Omega.
Omega looked around, blinking. He did feel different. "I feel… weaker than before. Not as powerful as I once was…"
"This may be why..." Goku held up something in his hands! The Four-Star Dragon Ball! It looked brand new, as if it was never destroyed! "We already made our wishes to fix the earth. Just don't go eating the Dragon Balls again. Or on another rampage." Goku finished.
"I don't intend to..." Omega said.
"Good." Goku smiled.
"But how…?" Omega asked.
"Thank Beerus for that." Kayl said. "The God of Creation, Atori-Toriyama, owed him a favor."
Omega looked at Beerus.
"Just remember I expect us to meet at Earth's next World Martial Arts Tournament." Beerus said, smiling. "Farewell, Saiyans and Shadow Dragon. Our time together so far has been enlightening, and quite… educational." He finished with a Bow.
Whis waved his magic staff, then him and Beerus vanished in a flash of light.
"Well, I guess we'd better get back home." Goku said with a smile.
"What about Naeb and his family? Not to Mention Omega?" Bulma said.
"What about them?" Vegeta asked. Bulma then looked a Vegeta sourly. She pointed to the hill where their house once stood.
"...Oh." Vegeta said.
"Hey, it's no big." Goku said. "They could come live with us on earth, now that everything is back to normal."
Chi Chi smiled. "I guess they could stay with us until they get their own place."
Naeb bowed. "It would be an honor."
"That, however, leaves one question..." Goku said, scratching his head. "Now that Omega Shenron doesn't have the Dragon Balls absorbed anymore, what do we call him?"
Omega looked at Goku after a few moments of thinking. "...Just call me Shen."
Goku smiled. "Makes sense, Shen."
With that, they boarded the spaceship, and headed back home.
