Goku and Videl had decided to sleepover at the palace because it was too late to go back to the ship and they were too tired to fly back. They slept in one of the palace rooms where there were beds for several people. Goku slept on one side of the room and Videl slept on the one opposite. Then suddenly, Goku woke up, sensing that something was off and that danger was near. Suddenly, a very angry looking Broly crashed through the wooden door and went to punch Goku right in the stomach from above in his bed. However, Goku managed to see it in time to flip out of the way and leaving the bed to being split in half by Broly's attack. The commotion stirred up Videl from her sleep. "Huh?... Sensei Goku?" muttered out before Broly threw away the mattress from Goku's broken bed at her. Broly just charged at Goku again, his only target and Goku hopped backwards out the window and down to the ground below with Broly following in hot pursuit. "Broly! What are you doing?" yelled out Goku as he casually fell down to the ground.

The commotion from the fight outside woke up Paragus in a sweat. "Noooo!" he yelled out as he realised that a fight was probably happening with Broly and he grabbed his controller device. Meanwhile, the fight continued as Goku and Broly broke through a wall of the palace. Goku dodged a straight punch aimed at his head and then smacked it away followed by a flip that hit the charging Broly right in the jaw that pushed him away but did little to no damage. "What's this all about?" demanded Goku but Broly just answered several balls of green energy which Goku barely dodged. Goku swatted one energy ball back right back at Broly which hit him dead on and caused a large explosion that sent Broly crashing through a bunch of trees into a nearby lake.

Goku followed the trail to the lake and found Broly just hovering over the lake with his arms spread out like as if nothing happened and with his energy causing ripple effects on the water. 'My gosh! His power just increased dramatically!' thought Goku as he stared in wonder at Broly's abilities. Broly's energy was now causing the water to evaporate and creating a bit of a wall around him. "Grrrrr... Die Kakarot!" growled out Broly, his face scrunched in angry disgust at Goku as he then charged once again with the water spouting a trail behind him. However, Goku being the experienced warrior he is anticipated the move and he kicked Broly up the side of the head. Broly turned around to reveal the only visible damage was a bit of blood off the corner of his lips which he promptly licked back into his mouth and apparently sickedly enjoying the taste. "Eww! That was completely unnecessary! Disgusting!" exclaimed Goku in clear disgust. But then Broly just waved his arm and sent hundreds of small green energy balls at Goku which he managed to just barely sidestep. The massive barrage of missed attacks created a massive amount of explosions that sent damage all over the lake and forest.

Goku had finally had enough of this madness and he put all the power he could into a direct punch to Broly's right cheek. But the punch didn't do any damage and Broly didn't even flinch nor budge from it much to Goku's consternation as they landed on the top of a nearby cliff. Broly then began to yell at the top of his lungs and powered up as his Super Saiyan aura came to life around him. "Ahhhh! That's the energy I was following." exclaimed Goku in stunned disbelief as he recognised the energy signal the Broly's power was emitting. Videl arrived on the scene next to Goku and she quickly recognised Broly's siluette and aura as the ones that she had seen attack Gohan and her on New Namek. 'It's him! He's the one who attacked Gohan and me! I'd recognise that energy anywhere!' thought Videl in stunned silence. Broly continued to scream as he built up his power until finally Paragus flew in and came to stop his son's rampage. "Broly, cut this out! Stop it son, I command you!" Paragus desperately ordered as he pointed his controller directly at Broly. "Listen to what your father's telling you! Calm down. Please!" emplored Goku, trying to assist in defusing the situation. Broly just laughed insanely which caused everyone to feal a pang of fear in the backs of their spines. "Stop it! Stop it now Broly! NOOOOWWWWW!" yelled out Paragus as he continued to try to control his son. It seemed like an eternity passed before the jewel on Broly's head finally activated and Broly's aura vanished and he went back down to his smaller normal state.

"What?" exclaimed Goku after he saw the strange devolution of the warrior back down to his almost zombie-like shell in under a few seconds. "Let's get you back to the palace my son." discreetly suggested Paragus, ignoring his 'guests' as they then went and flew back to the palace. 'He's the one... The Legendary Super Saiyan...' thought Goku as he watched them leave. "Now I recognise where I thought I saw that guy before now! He was the guy who attacked Gohan and me on New Namek." stated Videl as she looked up at Goku. "Are you sure?" asked Goku, looking down at her with a serious look on his face. Videl quickly nodded. "Mmph hmmm... No doubts, I'd never miss that energy." said Videl as she looked off with an angry scowl off to the place where Broly had left off.

Just then, Trunks arrived and landed next to where Goku and Videl were standing. "Goku! I've found where the missing Nameks are." reported Trunks. "What? Where?" asked Goku, a bit surprised at this turn of events. "They were here all along on the other side of the planet. It appears that it was Paragus who was behind it the whole time. He and his son Broly kidnapped the Nameks to make them their slaves and to make them work on their planet." explained Trunks. "So, it was them we were chasing on New Namek. Now it's all starting to make sense. How are the Nameks now?" asked Goku. "They're fine for now. I freed them from their guards and left them in control of the camp to use as their place to stay." explained Trunks. Both Goku and Videl were relieved to hear this. "Well then? What do we do now Goku?" asked Videl, looking up to Goku and wondering what the next move is. "Well, I think it's about time we told Vegeta about this. It's too late in the night to do it now so we'll have to tell him in the morning. I want you two to go gather the little aliens and the Namekians and bring them back here. Vegeta'll need actual proof before he believes us. But first I want you to grab some shut eye, especially you Trunks. You've probably been up all night freeing those Nameks and we'll need you at 100% in the morning. We clear?" answered Goku. "Right!" agreed Trunks with a nod. Then all three of them powered up and flew off back to the palace.

The next morning came as the sun began to rise and Vegeta made his way to the egg-shaped spaceship to leave the planet. "Sire, wait! Wait, wait King Vegeta! Please don't go! Hear me out!" begged Paragus as Vegeta made his way to the ship accompanied by Broly. 'If he leaves now, it's useless! I have to convince him to stay longer. Comet Cumori is still a full day away!' thought Paragus as he desperately tried to stall Vegeta. "My lord, we've found him. We should be able to pinpoint his exact location by tomorrow at the latest." Paragus said, once again trying to mislead Vegeta with fake promises. However, Paragus' excuses only made Vegeta even more sure that leaving to go find him himself was the right move. Vegeta went to make his way further to the ship but Broly stayed still. "Come on! What are you waiting for?" impatiently egged on Vegeta, but Broly just stood there with clenched teeth and eyes wide in stunned recognition. "Ka... Kakarot..." muttered Broly as he sensed his presence near.

"Vegeta? Vegeta, you in here? I'm getting tired waiting on you. Plus I haven't eaten breakfast yet, I'm hungry!" they heard Goku calling out from the inside of the egg-shaped ship. "Yoohooo! Heeyyy! Heheh! Hey, there's pretty cool acoustics in here. Woohoo! Hahaha *clap and echoes* *stomach rumbles and also echoes* I guess my stomach also likes the echoes too. Hahahaha!" they also heard Goku awkwardly say and laugh off like the idiot he was sometimes. Goku then saw his audience and continued to laugh like an idiot with his hand in the back of his head in his usual habit. But then, Goku dropped the act and looked seriously, all pretense of the fool gone. "Vegeta, you don't have to go anywhere. The Super Saiyan you're looking for is right here." stated Goku. Paragus immediately growled in anger at his deception being revealed. "Stay out of this! You have no idea what you're talking about!" Vegeta menacingly denied. Goku landed gently in front of them. "Paragus, why don't you tell Vegeta here that Broly is the Legendary Super Saiyan." innocently asked Goku. "Vegeta, he must be confused. That's preposterous, not to mention completely impossible my lord! Look at him. He has less power than I do. The boy is pitiful. Can't you see that? Let's drop this nonsense and return to your palace." Paragus vehemently denied, pretending to be the loyal Saiyan servant though with Vegeta eyeing him suspisciously now.

"Father! Don't listen to him!" yelled out Trunks as he flew in and landed right in front of them. "What?" angrily muttered Paragus. "This so called planet is nothing but a fake, an illusion. Just look at that! *points off to the city in the distance* Ruins, he didn't build this for you. Paragus twisted everything you see here using disadvantaged people to do his dirty work for him. He's the one who kidnapped the Namekians and forced them to be his slaves. They'll tell you everything." explained Trunks as Videl brought in the last of the little aliens nearby along with all of the Namekians there. Shamo pointed in fear as she recognised Broly. "That's him! That's the one that destroyed our home planet." exclaimed Shamo for all to hear.

"Nyaar! You tricked me!" cursed Vegeta. "It's about time your spoiled, miniscule brain finally figured it all out. Your son is most certainly right though Vegeta. This meaningless place has no value to me. It's been miserable here putting on this little charade. But do you want to know what I really care about? It's a little sphere in the North Galaxy called EARTH! Nyahahahaha! A lush green healthy planet, the most beautiful in the cosmos! You have no idea how long I've waited for the right time to re-establish Saiyan dominance. Do you think I want the Earth to look like this? *gestures to the surrouding area* A barren wasteland filled with battlescars and rubble? Of course not, which is why I decided to create this elaborate ruse! An imaginary town for an imginary prince, oh how your father would be laughing at you right now! Oh, and just one more thing I forgot to mention to you fools! I also choose this planet because within a day it will collide with Comet Cumori. An astronomical object of colosal proportions! And when you're gone our rule of Earth or any other planet will go completely uncontested." said Paragus, finishing his horrible speech by standing firmly next to his son. Goku and the others were not particularly impressed with the speech as they saw it as just another plan by a lunatic to take over the universe. In fact they looked more determined than ever to make sure that they never succeed.

Suddenly, Broly began to angrily mutter the "Kakarot!" and seemed to finally loose control of his restraints as he began to walk towards Goku and the others. "Broly! Broly no, don't waste your time on them." pleaded Paragus but Broly just continued. Broly's aura came to life and he transformed as every step he took brought him more and more powerful. "Ka..ka..rot! Kakarot!" Broly continued to mutter as he made his way foreward. "No way! This Saiyan is mine!" Vegeta said as he then powered up straight to his maximum power Super Saiyan form and landed the most powerful kick he could to Broly's neck but Broly didn't seem to even feel it. "Kakarot!" Broly once again warningly muttered. "Woah! Vegeta's attack was like nothing to him! Let's get one thing straight, some friends call me Kakarot but my name is Goku and you're not my friend." said Goku as he leaped back and prepared for combat.

"Wahahahaha! Well I might not have to wait for the comet to see you die. Seems like Broly has other plans for you. Broly attack!" maniacally ordered Paragus, deciding to go with the flow of things but it seemed like something was wrong with the controller. With each step Broly got more powerful and then Vegeta gathered a powerful ball of blue energy in his left hand. "No wait!" Goku tried to warn Vegeta as he hurriedly tried to get out of the way but it was too late to stop the attack. The attack hit Broly squarely in the back and created a large amount of smoke around him. The force of the attack knocked back Paragus a good number of feet. The people waited as the smoke dissipated from the crater and they awaited to see what results of the attack would be.

Author's Final Thoughts: And so the plot of the movie moves on. Broly's about to transform and the battle will begin in earnest. I tried to stick to it as much as possible and describe it as best as I could. Hope you enjoy.
