"What is this?" Vegeta quivered completely open to his newly transformed opponent with wide and bulging eyes that shook in shock. "This is exactly like that woman's transformation… Could it actually be? Impossible…"
"What's wrong, Vegeta? You look like you've seen a ghost of your past coming back to haunt you," Broly pointed his thick finger at Vegeta while snickering in reverie about the royal Saiyan's shock and misery.
"This is ridiculous! There can't possibly be two Legendary Super Saiyans alive! A Legendary Super Saiyan is a fabled warrior that is born once in a thousand years!" Vegeta clenched his fists and burst with a shiny golden aura, burning through stamina just to amp up his strength to its very limits and start relieving some of that emotional duress he's been going through.
"If I must prove to you how real I am to stop your pathetic daydreaming…" Broly smiled, stretching his right eyebrow up to make a psychotic look with his whited-out eyes. The Legendary Super Saiyan glided forward with a resonating punch. Vegeta crossed up his arms to block it, but the resounding impact of the full force crashed through his block and sent him tumbling backward. Dashing forward in pursuit, Broly turned his body around for a sole butt kick before grabbing the discombobulated Super Saiyan with both hands and punting him in the air like a football.
Vegeta shot into the skies, punching through the thin atmosphere of the planetoid they were duking out on and making it ignite with sizzling halos that passed down and around the rocky planetoid. Ignited with a jade aura, Broly dashed after his space-bound opponent and crashed into Vegeta with an aerial lariat that made the royal Super Saiyan roll vertically in mid-air only to stop when Broly crashed his fist into Vegeta's gut and forced the super-elite to spit up slobber and blood. Broly cracked one blow to Vegeta's jaw before grabbing his head and crashing right down onto the ground carrying the dazed and still struggling with believing Vegeta.
A sharp glint of light burst through from the point of impact where Broly crashed his opponent's body into the floor of the rocky planetoid, burning through the atmosphere as if it was a stray meteor that landed on its surface. When the fire and dust cleared out somewhat, the image of a haunting crater and sprawled out Super Saiyan laying inside of it could've been made out. The Legendary Super Saiyan stomped onto Vegeta's chest, forcing him to cough up blood as Broly drilled his boot into Vegeta's exposed chest, where his Saiyan armor had chipped off and his bodysuit had peeled off. This left nasty grazes on Vegeta's chest.
"You're the one ruling over the Saiyans? Pathetic…" Broly snickered out loud. "If your people bow down to you, they're too pathetic for me to spare them. I'll destroy everything in my path, your miserable cattle included!"
"Wh… What?" Vegeta coughed out. "What… Did you say?"
"Oh? You're still obsessed with what my father told you, right? Well, my father doesn't know that Chayote taught me a valuable lesson in heartache. Once you rip your heart out, once you destroy everything you care about, there's a void left in its place that you can fill with hatred and destruction!" Broly flexed in front of the Saiyan king, exploding with a shining jade aura that sank the whole planetoid in darkness except for the lone nova shining on the rocky surface that contrasted and drowned out everything else. "I still need my father to reach this form, and I truly love him like a father. However, that's exactly why I've got to destroy him and fill the hole he'll leave with more destruction!"
"Hmph… I've got to say. I think I prefer this form of yours over the last. It makes you a lot more talkative!" Vegeta expelled a potent explosive Ki wave from his entire body, making Broly stagger back and take his foot off of his chest while Vegeta recovered. "But you fucked up talking shit about my people! As their King, it's my responsibility to protect all of them, even against a swollen, loudmouthed asshole like you!"
The reinvigorated Super Saiyan rushed toward Broly with a low punch that slammed against Broly's gut but bounced off. Sneering with desperation to leave some lasting damage, Vegeta ignited a golden aura around his body and thrust his fist upward with an explosive uppercut, but he only pushed and fold Broly's cheek slightly. Grunting and growling, the royal Super Saiyan lashed a kick at the side of Broly's head before unleashing a barrage of punches, all of which brushed off against the immovable Legendary Super Saiyan. Vegeta finished his combination with a high kick before vanishing in front of Broly and extending his hand.
"Big Bang Attack!" he exclaimed. All of Vegeta's Ki condensed into a singular sphere-shaped blast that detonated point black at Broly's upper body and sank half of the planetoid in a fiery dome that spewed heated cinders and flows of ash in all directions. When the flair of Vegeta's blast cleared out, it became clear that Super Vegeta's Big Bang Attack had blown up half of the planetoid, leaving it floating like a ruined plateau and surrounded by shattered rocky shrapnel still fixed on the gravitational point of the heated battle.
"What was that supposed to be?" Broly sneered with a maniacal smirk as the smoke cleared out, revealing him to be utterly unharmed and unmoved by any of Vegeta's attacks. Before Vegeta could reignite his fighting spirit and cease reeling and drawing back, Broly rushed forward, flopping with his entire body and releasing an exploding vertical halo of energy that emanated from his chest and abdomen and released a shapeless jade-colored energy wave that blasted Vegeta aside.
Dashing past his dazed opponent, Broly thrust his right arm into the ruined rocky floor and swept his entire body horizontally, tripping Vegeta over and leaving him rolling in mid-air. Broly pulled his left arm back and channeled a black and green energy blast that he thrust into Vegeta's back and detonated with a point-blank impact. Laughing maniacally, Broly concentrated jade-colored energy around his entire body and gathered it into his left palm as a shiny jade energy sphere. With his opponent wide open and still reeling from the earlier beatdown, Broly waved his hand that carried the prepared energy sphere, firing his Eraser Cannon at Vegeta. The attack detonated in a bubbly firestorm that engulfed the entire devastated planetoid and, for a while, the resounding chain of explosions, bubbling and hissing flames overpowered even Broly's psychotic laughter.
Vegeta's eyes were slow to open up. Vision was blurry and despite knowing that he was in an extremely rare atmosphere, his eyes teared up from the irritation of light when he opened them. His armor had been completely blasted off with just stray strands of his blue bodysuit, holding the remains of his tattered clothing together. Gravity demanded its toll, pulling Vegeta from his mountainous prison to flop face-first into the ruined surface where all the cataclysmic fighting had reduced the rocky layer to dust of gravel. Shaking in pain and numbness, Vegeta stood tall with a bit of wobbly in his step but sneering bloody hatred at his opponent.
"Oh? Still got some fight left in you?" Broly sneered with a sadistic smirk. "Good, it's rare that father releases all traces of control and lets me rampage. I wouldn't like to break you too soon!"
"Cocky bastard…" Vegeta hissed out. "I'll wipe that sicko smirk off your face! You think you're the only one to surpass the power of Super Saiyan?"
Vegeta brought his arms to the side. The fierce beating he just took had brought him to his base form, so the bruised Saiyan royalty pushed himself to the Super Saiyan form in a blink, reigniting the golden gleam and stabilizing a blazing golden aura around him so bright that even the shiny golden hair of the Super Saiyan gleamed light orange in contrast to it. The stress of surging power made Vegeta shout out as he drew his arms higher and brought his back lower, hunkering down in place while the radiant golden aura picked up the pace and intensity.
The brilliant golden light flowing out from Vegeta in the shape of an intense, massive golden aura drowned out his image and only allowed one to make out an abstract and vague humanoid shape in the core of the intense light show. The planetoid's surface crumbled and chipped-off boulders began floating off into the skies to join the countless ruined platforms floating in the rare atmosphere already. The rocky islands floating above began crumbling to pebbles that ground into dust on sight. Veins riddled Vegeta's face and muscles and his hair began spiking up even more intensely than before. The radiant explosive burst of Vegeta's aura bashed against Broly's bland and apathetic face.
Golden lightning began ravaging and drilling through the ruined planetoid's surface, crumbling and utterly reducing the miserable space rock to nothing more than a handful of floating continents as cosmic flare engulfed the planetoid's remains in booming flames but the utter devastation of the planetoid where Broly and Vegeta decided to settle it seemed to brush off of both Broly and Vegeta, failing to break through the aura radiating around both of their bodies. Golden lightning storms resonated in all directions from the intense gleam around Vegeta as the king's muscles inflated and swelled up. The rocky continent underneath Vegeta's feet crumbled to dust from the pressure of the bulking up Super Saiyan.
Vegeta exclaimed a lone, proud roar while unleashing all of his pent-up power and drowning the entire desolate corner of space in blinding golden light. The radiant gleam even rattled the Galactic Patrol vessel hosting Paragus and his forces that spied on the battle from afar. The distant space station shook and crackled with electricity, unable to cope with the stress that Vegeta's booming power was putting it through despite handling even the worst cosmic calamities known to any space-faring species.
When the radiant burst of power and its aftereffects settled down, Broly stared at a massive wall of dust in front of him with a lightly baffled expression. The dust cleared out only to reveal Vegeta. The flowing golden hair of the King of Saiyans had become slightly more rigid and pale in color. His muscle mass had increased dramatically, though not to where it would impede the movements of the royal Saiyan super-elite.
"See? There's nothing special or "Legendary" about you or that other Saiyan woman. Others had surpassed the power of a Super Saiyan already. In this form, every nerve in my body is concentrated on sending Ki and circulating it throughout my body, inflating my muscles and drastically boosting my power and speed. It's a polished upgrade of the Super Saiyan transformation, just like your "Legendary Super Saiyan" form…" Super Vegeta replied with a bitter expression while glaring back at Broly having completed his power-up.
"Hmmm…" Broly smiled while his eyes sharpened with focus again, swatting the surprise of Vegeta's sudden explosion of power aside. His subtle smirk shifted into a full-on grin before the Legendary Super Saiyan burst into laughter. The intensity of his fit of hilarity escalated with each laugh until he could barely restrain himself. "You compare this little light show to the level of a Legendary Super Saiyan? It's like comparing a matchstick with a gamma-ray burst…"
"Why don't we try it out and see if that's so?" Vegeta thrust his clenched fist out with a nasty look on his face. Both warriors vanished at once, meeting each other in the middle with wound back right arms and colliding their elbows as both of them threw a downward hammer smash, crossing up their arms and beginning a power struggle with their entire bodies by slamming their shoulders together.
Super Vegeta thrust his free arm down but Broly caught it in his free hand, parting from their power struggle, the royal Super Saiyan soared upward with an uppercut while expelling his Super Saiyan aura from his entire body in a booming golden pillar that beamed off into far-off space and devastated an uninhabited planet far, far away. Broly leaned back from the uppercut's range, stonewalling the energy pillar around Super Vegeta before both warriors collided with mid kicks and transitioned into a lightning-fast exchange of blows, disappearing in a bubble of flashing light show as their blow exchange left light speed far off in the dust and began straining the very laws of physics governing their universe. Super Vegeta finished the blow exchange with a jumping kick straight to Broly's jaw, but the unmoved Legendary Super Saiyan smashed Super Vegeta aside with considerable force of a single cross.
Pursuing Vegeta with puffed-up chest and arms spread widely behind him, snickering as he did so, Broly collided with his dazed opponent and knocked him aside with a rushing body tackle before slamming his arm with a hammering strike and flattening Super Vegeta into the ground. As Vegeta scrambled to return to his feet from his unflattering position, he could no longer find his opponent where he had just left him. Broly had in fact moved far off in the distance, higher than even the farthest of the floating rocky continents of the destroyed planetoid as he aimed with his palm pointing downward while laughing sadistically from the bottom of his chest.
A tiny lime green energy sphere split off from Broly's open palm. Vegeta clenched his fists by his side, wondering if his opponent was making fun of him with such a ridiculous pea-sized attack. Just as it closed up on the baffled Super Saiyan, it changed into an enormous green and black energy bomb, radiating with devastating power. Vegeta extended his hands to stop the energy blast coming his way, igniting his luminous, golden Super Saiyan Grade 2 aura and drawing strength from the very depths of his power as he engaged in a power struggle against Broly's attack.
"Miserable…" Broly said before creating a second Ki blast in his open palm as he saw Vegeta struggling for his life against the overwhelming energy bomb. "You don't deserve the glory of being killed by me. We'll just record it into the archives that you got blasted to pieces by a Gigantic Meteor hitting the planet you were on…"
The psychotic Legendary Super Saiyan sent the stray energy blast to hit his own Omega Blasted to detonate it. A deafening howl erupted as the Omega Blaster began expanding rapidly in its path of absolute devastation, absorbing and muzzling all sound eventually as it burnt up all the traces of atmosphere and reduced all the distant floating rocky continents to ashes. A blinding jade nova of obliteration consumed the entire star system, ravaging it to space dust and apocalyptic cinders as the central star of the system burst into stray jets of flames and heated gas in all directions, coughing up its last moments.
Broly hovered into a devastated space station that howled with a red alert from all of its alarm systems with soldiers running up and down, desperately trying to salvage something from the ravaged space station to begin repairs on. Half of the station had been blown up to bits with soldiers present there engaging in their space suits and beginning external repairs, trying to seal off the chambers that led into open space. It went beyond saying that Paragus' Saiyan forces would need to replace their devastated Galactic Patrol space station before heading to Earth.
"Broly, what was that? You nearly destroyed the entire star system, you could've obliterated all of us! We've suffered massive casualties from your own attack! How are we meant to fight a civil war now?" Paragus stepped up to his son's face after Broly floated into the remains of the space station through a country-sized hole in the side. "You've burnt out the photon shield system we've installed and tore the entire station asunder regardless, you need to think about what your destructive power can do to your own people sometimes!"
"What civil war?" Broly sneered at his father. "Vegeta is dead. There's not a trace of him left, I made sure of it."
"Never mind that, what was that thing you told Vegeta about? That thing about being heartless and only seeking hate and destruction?" Paragus took a few steps back, confronting Broly about his blood-chilling speech back on that miserable space rock when he fought Vegeta. "I thought you wanted to be king and rule the Saiyan people like it was your birthright to do as the Legendary Super Saiyan!"
A fleshy thud echoed through the ears of every petrified soldier that couldn't stand still seeing Broly in this bulked up and absurd form. Broly's boulder-sized fist had dug into the Paragus' chest cavity with blood spraying out in spades to where it overwhelmed Paragus' airways and began spilling out through his nostrils and mouth in vomitous masses.
"I don't just want to be king. I'm the Legendary Super Saiyan. Now that I've killed Vegeta, I am the king. And so, I've no further use for you anymore…" Broly said with a bitter tone.
"B-B-Broly… You would… Strike… Your own father…?" Paragus gargled something cohesive up as his body began twitching and jerking in its final throes almost immediately after his heart and chest cavity had been smashed into bloody porridge.
"Make no mistake, father. I love you just like I love Chayote. That's why I must destroy you. Rip that band-aid off as soon as I can and let nothing but pure rage, hate, and need to destroy flow into that gap and fill me whole! I don't care about being king anymore, once I kill Chayote too, I'll just destroy everything and laugh it off while the entire existence burns before me!" Broly opened the fist he had thrust into Paragus' chest cavity, unleashing a jade-colored flame that burnt Paragus' body, boiled, and evaporated his blood from within, reducing him to a waving husk of dry skin that soon shriveled up into ashes and scattered away.
Panicking screams and blood-curdling noises of bloody murder spread as far as the artificial gravity and atmosphere still worked on the devastated Galactic Patrol space station. A bubble of flames and concussive shock waves spreading out in all directions sealed the space station's fate as a lone, swollen figure of a grim and psychotic almighty destroyed pushed his way out from the flames into open space as he soared at alarming velocity toward a remote star system where Planet Earth and the last thing Broly had ever loved was waiting to be ripped apart and quartered. Where Broly's heart longed for liberation from familial bonds and sought to only live and beat for destruction alone.
The Saiyan civil war was over before it even began.
