Earth, third rock from the sun. It was a blue, green, and white world containing many wonders and stories. At no other time in the world's history had it been in this much danger, the threat hovering above the world a force unlike any that had threatened it in the past.
Dystopicles dark form hovered in the void of space. His skull mask and bone-white skeletal chest armor hid his emaciated appearance, hinting at his former existence as Azrael.
With scythe in hand the king of evil gazed with utter hate at a former servant of darkness. Krysis flew opposite the Devil King, his young looking appearance and spiky red hair a great contrast to his opponent.
Dystopicles charged with his weapon at Krysis, who used his speed to quickly avoid the attack, then counter with a move of his own.
"Sword of the Eclipse!" Krysis yelled as he carved the shape of a circle in front of himself. An energy circle raced off towards the devil king, who brought his scythe up to block the deadly attack.
"Your techniques are impressive, but..no match for me!" Dystopicles yelled as he brought his weapon down, destroying Krysis' attack in the process.
As one the Pariahans, Krysis' very own family, fired energy blast after energy blast at the Devil King, Krysis joining them seconds later.
Dystopicles pointed his left palm at his assembled opponents, a wicked smile appearing on his face as he did so.
Suddenly a violet skull appeared in front of Dystopicles, and from the mouth of the apparition five violet balls of energy emerged and flew off toward their intended targets.
As the blasts hit the Pariahans, they uttered one last cry of pain before dissapearing, their bodies reduced to less than ashes.
"The Darkness comes for you..and with it..Death." Dystopicles said with a dark tone in his deep voice.
"You will pay for that!" Krysis said in anger.
"Every life you have taken you will answer for." The golden armored Seraphim said as he and his two comrades flew to hover next to Krysis.
The hundreds of robots and angelic beings assembled to fight Dystopicles demons continued to fight, the battle over the skies of earth created thousands of explosions as war raged in space.
Meanwhile, on the distant world..
Vegeta watched a Super Saiyan Three Broly appear, moments after it seemed as though Broly's death was a certainty.
"How is this possible?" Vegeta asked
Suddenly an old man with a large white beard, pointed ears and jeans appeared nearby along with the robed and winged form of Kohryu.
"I see I got here just in time. Goku looks like hes in over his head." The Grand Kai said.
"What gave you that idea?" Vegeta said with a half smirk.
The Grand Kai laughed off Vegeta's sarcasm.
"Broly has tapped deeper into the dark power that is the source of his Legendary form." Kohryu explained.
"Why does Kakorot have to fight these battles?" Vegeta asked matter-of-factly.
"Because he has lost himself. The very thing that made him what he is now. Unless he regains it, he will never defeat Dystopicles. As for you Vegeta, you already have what you need to defeat him, but you can't fight Dystopicles alone." Kohryu said, wisdom always present on his white mustached face.
On the ruined planet Goku and Broly fought with a ferocity that neither had ever brought to bear against the other.
"Double Eraser Cannon!" Broly said as bright-green energy spheres formed in both of his palms, the Legendary Super Saiyan firing both his deadly projectiles at Goku seconds later.
Goku fired a couple blue energy missiles of his own at Broly's attacks, causing two huge mid-air explosions when they collided with his opponent's attacks.
Suddenly Broly was surrounded by a field of dark energy which distorted the landscape around him.
Broly fired an enormious ball of green energy at Goku, a sadistic smile on his face as he did so.
"Ka" Goku started as the attack approached.
Suddenly Broly appeared behind Goku, and quickly grabbed the smaller Saiyan with both his huge muscled arms.
Goku struggled to free himself, and eventually after afew seconds of struggling, succeeded. Broly quickly flew upwards, and then Goku realized he had allowed him to get free, as Broly's attack was upon him.
Quickly Goku shouted "Kamehameha!", and fired the strongest attack he could at Broly's green sphere. Goku's attack sent Broly's off into the distance, an act that caused a huge explosion which split the planet in half.
"Nice move Kakorot. Can you feel what I feel? The glorious joy at the sight of destruction? Don't deny it...your a Saiyan." Broly said before erupting in a fit of his insane sounding laughter.
"I'm not like you Broly. I don't take pleasure in destruction. I enjoy a good fight, but I don't take pleasure in death or needless suffering." Goku said, his golden Super Saiyan Three form a solid contrast to the eerie green glow of Broly's.
"Then you lie to yourself. You live to fight...fighting causes pain to others..it is unavoidable. But how could I expect you to understand..considering your the person who made me what I am?" Broly said, then flew towards Goku, both fists glowing with a green light as he approached.
"I did not make you what you are..your father did. He cared only for his lust for power, and he made you a means to an end." Goku said as he also charged forward.
When the two Super Saiyan Threes collided there was another enormous explosion, a mix of pure yellow and eerie green painted the entire landscape, which shook from the power given off.
Seconds after the collision the two Saiyans became locked in melee combat. Goku swung fist after fist at Broly, who blocked each attack with his forearms. Goku swung his right leg around for a kick, but Broly smiled and grabbed Goku's leg, then swung Goku around and around before releasing him, an act which caused Goku to fly far off into the distance.
Sure enough, Broly appeared behind Goku, waiting to intercept his opponent.
Broly swiftly caught his nemesis.
"Your right..my father is partly to blame for making me what I am. But your forgeting something Kakorot. You forget that the nature of the legendary Super Saiyan must be either pure good..or pure evil. I can tell you I'm not the former." Broly said darkly before he began trying to crush Goku in a bear-grip.
Goku yelled as he fought against Broly's power. He was getting weaker, even while Broly's strength remained constant.
That was the fatal flaw in the Super Saiyan Three form. The power increase was immense, but it put much strain on the body, making it have a time limit to its use.
Broly's version of the transformation on the other hand, seemed to have no weakness. That being the case, Goku knew his time was running out.
"Do you feel weak Kakorot? Is your strength leaving you? It is isn't it? Hahahaha" Broly laughed before speaking again.
"What more proof do you need that I am the true legendary Super Saiyan? While your strength weakens, I have never been stronger!" Broly said as he tossed Goku a distance away, then powered up a sphere of green energy which he swiftly tossed at his opponent.
Goku had no choice but to make one final desperate attack in the hopes it would be enough to put down Broly.
Swiftly, Goku corrected his flight, avoiding Broly's green energy missile, and flew straight at Broly himself.
"So in the end you wanted to die?" Broly said with a smirk as Goku approached.
"Not even close Broly. Dragon Fist!" Goku yelled as the golden image of Shenron slammed into Broly, a golden dragon swiftly coiling around the Legendary Super Saiyan.
Broly yelled as he struggled against the dragon's power, but unfortunately for him Goku wasn't finished yet.
"Kamehameha X5!" Goku yelled as he fired a yellow variant of his tried and true technique at Broly.
The beam slammed into Broly even as he continued to struggle with the dragon, and in seconds the entire area was engulfed in an enormious explosion.
"Just to make sure.." Goku said as he fired two more energy blasts at the area he last saw Broly.
Goku breathed deeply, sweat poured down his head and chest. Anxiety filled his mind as the cloud of smoke cleared.
To Goku's relief, Broly was gone and Goku could no longer sense his power. The last ditch gamble of an attack had worked. Goku relaxed and allowed himself to revert back to his normal state, his long golden hair shortening and reverting back to its natural black coloration, even as his eyebrows returned and his aura faded to nothing.
While Broly's increase in power as a Super Saiyan Three was great, Goku's many years of training still gave him the edge in that fight. If he had gone up against him back when he first learned of the Super Saiyan Three form though, that would not have ended well.
In moments after defeating Broly, Goku found himself back on the planet where Vegeta was. Goku was surprised to see Grand Kai waiting for him.
"Hey Goku..great work. I thought it was time to pass along one of the techniques I've been promising to teach you and Pikkon." Grand Kai stated as he placed his boom-box on the ground.
"What technique?" Goku asked, curious.
"Well you know the Spirit Bomb King Kai taught you years ago? Well I have a stronger variation of that I've been meaning to pass down to someone, and I think your the best person to learn it." Grand Kai said
Goku was quiet as Vegeta leaned against one of the giant clocks behind them, his arms crossed in his usual fashion.
"Normally it requires the death of the person using the technique, as it uses your own life force to create the attack, but with you able to become a Super Saiyan Six, you should be able to use the technique without dying. But regardless..this is a last resort kind of thing. Got it Goku?" Grand kai warned.
"I get it" Goku said as Grand Kai proceded to explain.
"Just like with a normal spirit bomb, you need energy. In this case though, you focus on your own energy, bringing it out to create the attack. Basically, while in your Super Saiyan Six form, focus inward and draw out the sprit energy you need." Grand Kai said
"I see, that doesn't seem so hard." Goku said
"Let me demonstrate." Grand Kai said as he focused inward for a moment, then a small baseball sized orb of glowing white energy emerged from his chest.
"This isn't nearly enough to be an effective attack, but you understand now what you must do to use this technique?" Grand Kai asked.
Goku nodded, then suddenly vanished.
Vegeta immediately knew where he had gone. Another world, another opponent.
"How long is this going to keep up. We sit here while we can be out there fighting Dystopicles." Vegeta said, frustration in his voice.
"Be patient Vegeta, if this battle is to be won..we cannot be impatient." Kohryu said as he stood next to the Grand Kai.
Goku appeared over an earth-like world this time. A jungle covered the planet's surface as far as the eye could see. Here and there a golden pagoda like building with a pointed roof could be seen.
In the distance Goku could see a huge majestic mountain range. In the sky were three full golden moons. Goku was careful not to look at the moons directly.
Suddenly Goku felt a powerful energy signature. It was easily stronger than Broly, and hinted at a great age and wisdom.
Goku saw to his surprise a figure riding on a grey cloud, carrying a pole-like weapon in his right hand.
The pole was orange in color, and decorated with various yellow lettering which Goku sensed was magical in nature.
The figure had a white monkey tail and a grey ape-like face, along with white spiky hair on his head. The being wore a golden crown-like headband on his forehead, and wore red chinese style steel armor on his chest, legs, shoulders and arms.
Around the figures neck was a necklace of red prayer beads. The figure stood on the cloud with white furred feet.
"So your my next opponent? I've never seen you before." Goku said.
"Your ancestors have, but that matters not now. My name is Sun Wukong, sometimes I am called Goku." Sun Wukong stated calmly.
"You must be who my grandfather named me after." Goku said as sudden realization set in.
"Get this man a prize folks." Sun Wukong said
"Just who are you?" Goku said, feeling his curiousity overtake him.
"I am the one who gave the Saiyan race the power they now possess. I will explain, but I will make this quick, as we must shortly do battle." Sun Wukong said as Goku nodded.
"Many millenia ago I visited a world which was home to an honorable, yet savage warrior race. This people had the potential to either destroy, or save. They fought a seemingly endless battle with another people on the same world. It was a war they would have lost, so I granted these Saiyans some of my power. The power to become a Great Ape in the light of any full moon, as well as the power to become what you call a Super Saiyan." Sun Wukong explained, pausing for only a moment before continuing.
"With the powers I gave them, they were able to keep their enemies at bay. It became so that once every thousand years a Super Saiyan would be born with powers and abilities beyond the usual. If the Saiyan people were mostly evil, the Legendary Super Saiyan would become Pure Evil in nature, and be a plague on the universe while he or she still lived, however if the Saiyan race clinged to their honor and tried to remain righteous, the Legendary Super Saiyan would be a force for good." Sun Wukong said.
Sun Wukong waved his left hand, allowing Goku to see an image of what must have been the original Saiyan homeworld.
Many Saiyans, dressed in little more than fur, ran in all directions as their cities burned.
Suddenly a huge Saiyan wearing red pants and golden boots, with a green mohawk came running at the smaller Saiyans. The Saiyan's face looked similiar to Broly's, except for the green goatee. His muscles were about the same size.
"This was the second Legendary Super Saiyan, Auroc. He was a fiercesome creature that knew no pity or remorse, and destroyed all in his path. After he died the other race enslaved the Saiyans, the ones known as Pariahans. After some time another Legendary Super Saiyan appeared." Sun Wukong said as he showed another image of the ancient homeworld, this time the sight of a golden great ape was seen.
"Barsoon was his name. He was an honorable warrior before his powers manufested. He orginal wanted to use his power to free his people, but when he reached this form...that of the golden great ape, he lost control and was unable to find himself. This resulted in the destruction of the orginal Saiyan homeworld. After that, both Saiyan and Pariahan set out to the stars in search for new worlds to call home. The Saiyan exodus was last nearly two-thousand years." Sun Wukong said as the image changed to show Bardock fighting a being that resembled Frieza.
"Hey thats my father!" Goku said
"Yes..your father was the fourth legendary super saiyan. After his defeat at the hands of Frieza, by a quirk of fate he found himself one thousand years in Planet Vegeta's past, before even the Tuffles found the world. This caused a paradox, as when it came time for the next legendary Super Saiyan to be born, two were born instead of one. The good one was you Goku." Sun Wukong said.
"And Broly was the other." Goku said with understanding in his tone.
"And now you know. With this knowledge, you must fight me. All of your previous opponents in this trial had something to do with you. I am no different." Sun Wukong said as a golden aura appeared around him.
Goku gazed at the three golden moons with a smile. Suddenly his body expanded, grew and changed until he became an enormious golden great ape. Then that creature also began to change, shrinking down to become Super Saiyan Four Goku.
Goku gazed at his opponent, the legendary Sun Wukong, with yellow cat-like eyes. His hair had regrown down to his shoulders, but were black rather than gold like with his previous Super Saiyan Three form, Red fur covered Goku's muscular arms, and red rings surrounded Goku's eyes. A red tail appeared along with a red and gold aura which surrounded Goku's body.
"Are you prepared to face me, the monkey king? Sun Wukong said as he spun his staff in preparation for battle.
"I'm feeling...confident." Super Saiyan Four Goku said with a deep, calm voice.
