Author's note: Hello readers, how's your day been? If this chapter comes off as short, I apologize. Busy week and such, but I did put as much time as I could spare into writing this chapter. Also, give Roketto credit again for everything Arcosian related here, including the names, except for Icar, I take pride in that creation.
I also got Battle of Z. Do I recommend buying it? Only if you're interested in multiplayer or if you're a hardcore DBZ game collector, otherwise I say just rent it. It's definitely worth a rent.

Chapter 3 – Ostentation
"So, you want to fight me?" These were the first words to leave Broly's mouth after Icar's completed transformation.
"I'm afraid this won't be much of a fight," Icar plainly stated full of confidence. "Your power is nothing when compared to mine!"
Broly smiled a feral grin as he started to let his power come forward, preparing to slaughter the man before him. "I'll kill you, then those pipsqueaks who ran away, and then everyone on this planet!"
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!" The sounds of Broly's yell as he powered up shook Icar to the bone. "This power, w-what IS he, a monster?!"
"I… I am no monster…" Broly began, a sinister grin overtaking his features, "I am a devil!" With that, he maxed out his power, small cracks beginning to form on Arcos's land and beneath his feet.
His hair now stood out in every direction, and was slightly longer as well as shining with a golden light. His height of 7 feet 5 inches now increased to 7 feet and 8 inches. The usually dark eyes he had changed to a calm blue-green; however, Broly himself was anything but calm. He stared down Icar as the frost demon was almost trembling.
Faster than Icar could blink, there was a fist in his gut. He bent over the fist as pain flared across his entire body from where Broly punched him directly in the center of his lower abdomen.
"I don't care how powerful you THINK you are, you are no match for me. You WILL get me a ship, you WILL let me go get my revenge, and I swear if you even think about trying to stop me, I'll destroy this whole galaxy. Do you understand?" Icar could only nod in pain, as he still hadn't been able to catch his breath with Broly's fist still planted firmly somewhere between his stomach and colon.
Broly grinned wickedly. "Good." Then he pulled his hand back a few centimeters so he could open it. "Now, get moving." He then proceeded to shoot an Eraser Cannon into Icar's gut at point blank, with just enough power to act as a basketball careening into him, and sending him flying away before exploding off in the distance, swallowing Icar in a flash of light.
Weaklings, they truly annoy me. That blast shouldn't have killed him, though who knows when they're as weak as that one. Now, how did I REALLY get here? Was running through Broly's mind as he took off into the air towards the building he thought looked most like a palace. I might as well stay as a Super Saiyan. Who knows which of these fools will try something? Ha, who am I kidding, I could wipe them all out with the flick of a wrist. I just love the power. A grin settled on Broly's face as he flew off toward the palace.
"Ow…" Icar sat up and rubbed his head, wondering where he was. If that stupid monkey thinks I'm going to get him a ship, I've got bad news for him. No one tells me what to do. Not even my own father. He stood up, realizing the blow forced him back into his fourth form.
Grr… that arrogant… I don't want to die, and I'm not stupid. I know he transformed into the Super Saiyan everyone talks about. He then started walking across the wasteland he fell into, taking the time to reflect, and consider.
No one on our planet has the kind of power to battle against that. And I fear he still has more power hidden… No, as much as it stings my pride, this is a problem we cannot solve. I will get him his ship. Yes, if he wants a ship so badly, I'll just have to give it to him. Maybe I'll give him father's ship; the arrogant bastard doesn't need it. Having at last recovered from the effects of the blast, he took off into the air, allowing a slight smile to spread across his face.
Great-uncle Frieza, this is a plan I think you would enjoy more than anyone, from what I've heard about you.
What the Hell is that? The new King of Arcos, Karchare, stated plainly. He then looked at his son's 'best friend'. "Pirosuka, where did you say Icar ran off to again?"
"I TOLD you, my lord, that he didn't tell me. He just said he heard a noise and went to check it out. That was last night."
"Hmm… I see." Knowing the child was just brash, he would forgive his rudeness for now. However his son was a special case. Taking after his grandfather, Cooler, in looks, and even still having a defect that caused his keratin to be green, and even furthermore, being able to achieve the fifth form of their species, when Karchare himself still couldn't reach it yet. No matter how much of a social outcast he was, the King took pride in his son; his strength in his fifth form at just a child was truly incredible, equal to that of a young adult. He was grateful to Pirosuka for being Icar's friend, no matter how brash he was.
Then the castle walls blew apart around them, and Pirosuka was no more.
"No!" Karchare yelled as he realized what had just happened. The walls and roof were gone, with a faint green energy fading away where they used to be. Pirosuka was nowhere to be seen. Karchare hoped he was alive, but he knew in his heart that the child was dead, vaporized in an instant by the blast. "Who dares to…?" He stopped short as he glanced upward and saw him floating above, his gold aura lighting up the landscape. "A-A Super Saiyan?!"
A few minutes earlier…
Broly laughed with malevolent joy as he got closer and closer to the palace. I'm gonna beat some answers out of the first person I come across, and if no one is outside, I'll blow the whole building to pieces! As he neared the palace he noticed a large crater quite a distance from it. I knew that little runt was lying. If I remember right, that fool Paragus told me about how the members of Frieza's family are masters of telekinesis. Hmm… I'll give this more thought later, Bloodshed now.
As Broly begun to charge an Eraser Cannon, he stopped the energy flow when he heard voices. What? Did I just hear the worm call him lord? Perfect. Broly cackled with glee as he released an Eraser Cannon towards the direction of the voices, resulting in a massive explosion blasting away a good bit of the palace.
As he floated above the now destroyed throne room, Broly stared at the King, grinning. "So, who's in charge around here? Don't tell me it's you? A weakling ruling other weaklings is not what I want right now."
"You… You think to destroy my palace, kill my son's friend, and then order me around?!" Karchare, realizing he had been kneeling, stood up slowly, calling forth as much strength as he could muster. That blast… It wasn't a wild one. He knew what he was doing, I'm so damaged I can't even reach half strength.
Broly laughed as he watched the fool gather his energy. "Yes, little fool, show me what you have left. Oh, and I do hope that runt earlier wasn't your son; because if he was, your son is stronger than you are! Ahahaha!"
"I swear, if you hurt my child, I'll-"
"You'll do what, worm? Fall over and die? You're much too pathetic to stand a chance against me."
He had heard enough. Karchare launched a Death Beam straight for Broly's heart, only to watch in horror as the brute stuck his chest out and it exploded instead of piercing through his chest. "What? How can you be so strong?"
Ignoring his question Broly dusted off his chest. "Good, I like when they fight back. Now, you're going to help me with something, and I won't kill you or your son, understood?
Relief washed over Karchare. Good, he's not dead. "…Very well. What do you need?" I will kill you the second you drop your guard, I swear it.
Broly smiled. "How do you feel about hostages?"
Icar was planning something worthy of Frieza, floating aimlessly in the air when he heard the explosion come from the palace. "What? No, he couldn't have!" He flared his aura as he took off full speed toward the palace. His father was an arrogant bastard, and he hated him for it. Let him die, but not his only friend. I'm coming Pirosuka!
Alright! Chapter 3 is done! Sorry it's so short guys, but I try, I really do. Well now we know where Icar comes in on the family tree. And we all know if he's planning something Frieza would approve; it cannot bode well for Broly. But, oh powerful author who knows what's gonna happen, what of poor Pirosuka, or Karchare? How did Broly REALLY get there? Who was Icar's mother? Who was Cooler's mate? Why do you leave us with cliffhangers? But I digress. Questions need answers, so here you go!
Q: Having watched the program with the author, I can tell you I am equally as frustrated with the result. Despite editing this, I must say there weren't many errors to begin with at all - in your Q&A though, I think you put your mention to me in Mattix's question rather than the answer. I don't blame you, as Batista's winning the Rumble didn't exactly please me either XD. Looking forward to see Broly vs Icar in the next chapter!
A: As I said, I was pretty pissed off, so much so that I skipped Raw and Smackdown this week. Idk what you were expecting, really, I mean, a child Frost Demon vs Broly. This one wasn't going anywhere. No worries though, Broly will get a real fight, very soon.
Q: Great chapter! I wonder who is Icar's grandfather ? Also how does broly even know what frieza looks like ? I doubt he had ever met him. Unless he had seen a picture of what he looked like ? Which is possible given how famous and feared frieza was. He was pretty much the poster boy for the planet trade organization. I'm pretty sure broly's father would have wanted him to know what FRiEZA looked like. Now its time to see how good you are at making fight scenes. Good fight scenes are one of the most crucial parts in a good DBZ story. Looking forward to your next update.
A: I hope I answered all these questions with this chapter, if not, pm me with any you might still have, and if there's no spoilers, I'll answer. Also, again, as stated in the above answer, idk why people thought this would go anywhere, but again, no worries. Broly will have a real fight very soon. Next chapter? Can't say for sure yet, but there's one coming.
Q: Well, it looks like Icar is more like Cooler then Frieza, appearance wise, (5th forms included) I'd try telling Broly to calm down, but considering the defeat he was handed, it's understandable that he's mad as heck...
A: Quite. Quite: to all of the above.
Q: So Icar is Frieza's grandson... or possibly Cooler's. Either one. I'm suddenly imagining Broly yelling Icar's name at the top of his voice, TFS!Bardock-style. Also, the chapters are still really short. Which is fine, I guess, but when chapters are released periodically, as they are on this site, rather than all at once, as in a book, I prefer them to be quite long for maximum readability. Still, whatever comes naturally to you.
A: Cooler's. Cooler ftw. Oh God why'd you give me that image? If any name he'll be yelling like that it's Kakarot. Oops, I mean, spoilers. I try, I really do, I just find myself stopping at shorter lengths. Maybe when I grow as a writer, eh?
Q: you know on dragon ball z raging blast 2s description of LSSJ3 Broly it say even though he did go through the sun he still survived and with the zenkai he returned as a LSSJ3 so he didn't even have to miss the sun, plus if some of coolers body can survive being pushed through the sun why wouldn't Broly be able to
A: Simple. I wanted him to miss the sun. And he still got a zenkai, don't worry. Not as drastic as going through the sun, but still pretty friggin' huge.
Q: Yo, Broly, Kaiser/Shadow from the DBM chat. I read the first two chapters and I got to say I'm interested. So far, this is the only Broly fic I've read that I didn't quit reading after 1 chapter, so props for that! Looking forward to the Icar and Broly fight. I'll leave a more in depth review once that happens. Also, just as pissed as you were with the Royal Rumble.
A: Jeez, you people really wanted that Broly vs Icar fight, huh? Well… Ask Shenron, cause spoilers. I'll say this, after this Arcosian saga, we will see Icar again. That's all I'll say. Bro has mad potential.
Q: I have only one maybe two questions I'm not sure about that but the race that frieza is from that you are using are they called that acord I think you said was the name I probably spelled that wrong anyway I was just wondering is that they're race name or is it a made up one I went to try to fine out about the race but they said they never said what frieza race was anyway that's all I wanted to great story you have here ) oh and celsius is another word for cold )
A: If I remember right, the DBZ fanbase has accepted Arcosian as an acceptable term for their race, since the planet they're from is called Arcos. I can't remember really, if it's a big deal, pm me and I can find it for you. I have it somewhere, I know I do. Also, good guess, but Celsius isn't what I based Icar's name off of. It's an English word though.
Q: Interesting... So Broly ended up on Arcos by chance, & happened to land in a populated area, right outside the palace? What luck. This Icar guy seems a little more compassionate towards his medical staff at least, as he paused to tell them to run when Broly snapped. Hopefully this entails an altogether different personality than the Arcosians we are used to seeing. I do have to wonder who his grandfather is, given that he mentioned him. My bet's on Kooler, given his coloring & demeanor. So that would mean Kooler had a son, & Icar is his son... Wait, how much time has passed since Broly's initial defeat? o_o
A: (PM convo ftw) How much time has passed? About 14 years, Icar is very young, however he is a child prodigy, I'd like to say. Who his parents and grandparents are was revealed here, so yeah. I can tell you this wasn't meant to be a serious battle ,after all, Broly has power equivalent to Cell if not greater thanks to the zenkai, so our poor Icar doesn't really stand a chance at his age, but being young as he is, I feel he should be more compassionate towards others, and more headstrong and reckless. I hope I did a good job of portraying that. And yes, Broly was very lucky to land where he did. Lucky, or did it happen cause a certain author has something planned? Either way, I'll reveal it all soon, so no worries.
