Broly threw himself forward with his arms drawn behind his back. Thrown off his balance by this ruthless aggression and a juggernaut charge that displayed absolute carelessness for one's own well-being, Goku stumbled. This led to Broly grabbing his face and dashing across the hall with his new favorite toy. Broly's swollen size and radiant aura made him have to scrape his way through the corridor before the pair smashed right out of the palace outside.

Pulling the thrashing sack of bones and flesh closer, Broly thrust his fist deep into Goku's gut which drove the Saiyan numb before slinging him aside and extending his hand to fire a barrage of Ki blasts that began blowing up random buildings in the royal district and made terrified Shamoians and Saiyan soldiers patrolling the area flee for their lives. They seemed to know better than to attempt to stop the rampaging fiend, almost as if they've witnessed similar events before.

Piccolo flickered in out of nowhere with an elbow slam straight into Broly's jaw. The impact resonated with a deafening thud and an expansive sonic shock wave that left no window in the region intact. Broly turned around with a sadistic smile, but this only freaked Piccolo out momentarily. Slipping under an uneducated punch, Piccolo thrust his elbow deep into Broly's gut. The hit left the purple-haired Saiyan numb and let Piccolo open his opponent up with a charging swipe of his claws that uppercut Broly rolling back and into the lower atmosphere.

Rushing after his opponent, Piccolo began slashing with his claws before hovering above his opponent and thrusting his foot into Broly's face which sent the thrashing giant plummeting down like a comet and slamming into an evacuating district only to leave a gargantuan crater in the ground while Piccolo landed beside Goku and helped his ally get back on his feet.

"Thanks, Piccolo," Goku snickered. "I keep forgetting how absurdly strong you've gotten."

"Don't lower your guard and underestimate this guy. He may not have transformed into a Super Saiyan, but that doesn't mean you can handle him as is too," Piccolo scolded his easygoing comrade before the two focused on the further escalating Ki of their foe that's fallen into the crater.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Broly roared, exploding with a violent outburst of Ki that sent chills down the spines of the two fighters as he slowly hovered out from the crater he ended up in.

A yellow energy disc swiped clean past Broly's side, with the giant barely turning to avoid it. Krillin's Kienzan slashed Broly's chest with a clean cut, drawing some blood to trickle down it. Yamcha appeared before the stunned giant with a swift Instantaneous Transmission and thrust his fist into Broly's gut, noticing little hurt in the giant's eyes. The quick-footed martial artist transitioned into a stiffer lion's paw slam from his shoulder before exploding into a flurry of swipes, reminiscing his Wolf Fang Fist upon Broly's front. Seeing his opponent stumble for the first time, Yamcha rolled upside down and began stomping with his feet before finishing with a stiff stomp to the face while bursting with King Kai's Fist aura for just a moment and sending the meaty monster flying in a backward trajectory.

"Jeez, it's like this guy's not even trying to dodge anything…" Krillin noted, landing beside Piccolo and Goku while Yamcha vanished and appeared by the Dragon Team's side as well.

"I think that's what's terrifying about him. You can't know when he's just going to snap and power through your attacks like nothing's happened…" Yamcha panted, with adrenaline rushing through his body, having just survived a few rounds up close against the psychotic Saiyan.

"With how fast his Ki is swelling up, soon he won't have to dodge anything. Your shots will just stop bothering him. We need to make him get gone fast," Piccolo clenched his fist while hissing out at his allies.

"It would be a lot easier to deal with this guy if we'd have his equal by our side," Yamcha noted, sparing a momentary glimpse of the damaged palace that lacked any windows and had a notable hole in the side where Broly smashed Goku through earlier.

"Leave her to deal with Paragus. That guy seemed to be someone who can both aggravate Broly over the edge and calm him down. Besides, the two have their shared history, so maybe she can make him turn Broly off," Piccolo dismissed the idea of having Chayote face off against Broly too. "Just the four of us should be more than enough."

"Five!" Gohan yelled out, descending from above and joining the team.

"Alright, Legendary Super Saiyan or not, no one's standing a chance against all of us!" Goku cheered everyone on as they took their fighting positions and prepared to collide with the hurting colossus again.

Broly let out a resonating bellow that grew stronger and resonated with grand concussive force as it emanated from the bottom of his lungs. The resolute Dragon Team clutched to their own devices and struggled against the shock wave while Broly grabbed his head and cried out in pain. Visible electric jolts resonated from his golden crown all the way down and the purple-haired Saiyan let out a pain-ridden roar before becoming enveloped with a boom of a golden aura.

The enraged Saiyan stiffened up in place, hunching up as he drew his arms up and let his eyes white out while veins ravaged his face and muscles from the top down. Golden halos of energy spread out from the tips of Broly's feet that washed over the stunned Dragon Team, bending space and slowing down time like ripples across the surface of a disturbed lake.

"His power's going higher even faster now, what the heck's going on?" Goku exclaimed in shock at the incredible display of overflowing power from someone who barely felt like a threat when they all first met him.

"It's that damned crown. I bet Paragus is sending shocks down it, which aggravates Broly's unstable psyche even further. This makes him escalate in power to where it can even trigger his transformations," Piccolo hissed out.

"That's horrible! We have to destroy it!" Gohan extended his hands to the sides. A radiant golden aura lit up around Gohan as he transformed into a Super Saiyan in a split instant and formed yellow energy blasts in both hands, lobbing them toward Broly in rapid succession, firing an unbelievable amount of yellow Ki blasts at Broly from afar. Krillin, Yamcha, Goku, and Piccolo all lit up with their auras, powering up to the top and sending their own barrages of Ki blasts at Broly as well, hoping to destroy the crown that had been causing the Saiyan so much suffering and driving him so mad.

When the explosive field cleared out and the smoke and dust settled back into place, an emerald glow broke through the aftereffects of the devastation as Broly gleamed with a lime-colored glow that was a mix of the emerald aura of a Legendary Super Saiyan and the golden gleam of an ordinary Super Saiyan transformation. Debris of the devastated ground began rising, suspended in mid-air as Broly's escalating power disturbed the natural gravitational force of the planet and began ripping Planet Vegeta apart by peeling it up chunk by chunk from the surface. The ground began trembling and fissures opened up, swallowing up the collapsing buildings.

The jade aura became bright gold as the golden halo shock waves resonating around Broly became just rings of blinding yellow light that engulfed everything in view in a golden shine. Broly let out a psychotic scream as the devastating phenomena of his rage and the pain-induced transformation withdrew within his body, causing his muscles to inflate several times over as his spiky hair got a golden twinge. With one final yell, Broly completed his transformation into a Super Saiyan and stared the Dragon Team down with teal-colored eyes.

"Damn it, he was already a handful in his base form…" Piccolo hissed.

"KAKAROT!" Broly yelled out with bloody madness oozing from his voice as he vanished in place. Goku burst with a golden aura. The Super Saiyan began rapidly snap vanishing in rapid succession, leading the paranoid and unstable Super Saiyan away as he took calming breaths and withdrew his Super Saiyan aura within his body, perfecting his transformation.

The two Super Saiyans collided in mid-rush, both Goku and Broly clashing with their knees and pressing their hands against one another as they engaged in a power struggle. Both exploded into a flurry of punches and kicks. It took no time at all for Goku to notice his blows skidding and bouncing off of the adamant body of his opponent but Goku's skill in hand-to-hand prevented him from being overwhelmed as the calm-hearted Super Saiyan danced around his oversized opponent and responded with swift jabs wherever he saw an opening.

"I WON'T LET YOU TAKE CHAYOTE AWAY FROM ME!" he roared, transitioning into a one-handed upside kick into Goku's gut. Goku curled up and wheezed all oxygen out of his lungs forcefully before shooting off into the air. Super Saiyan Broly snapped away at once, appearing directly above Super Saiyan Goku and grabbing hold of his opponent's face while riding all the way down and slamming him into the ground. Not feeling the least bit content with this, Broly stomped on Goku's face a couple of times, massively aggravating the size of the crater he was bashing him into before wrapping his arms around Goku's head from both sides.

Goku let out a chilling scream as Broly began attempting to rip his head clean off his shoulders from a standing position. Goku's neck stretched out to an uncomfortable degree as the Saiyans stare became dull and his Super Saiyan transformation began leaking out its aura again before fading out with momentary blinks back to the base form.

"Leave my dad alone!" Gohan bellowed, crashing down with a golden comet headbutt straight into the back of Broly's head. After colliding with his super-sized opponent, Gohan let all of his channeled strength explode at once. This sank the massive crater in a golden nova of energy before it took Broly off his feet with a tunneling tackle charge and forced him to release Goku to lay bruised and limp where Broly left him while Gohan struggled against the explosion of his own power. Stopping in place, Gohan drew his arms back before thrusting them out again and forming a gigantic, tunneling energy wave of a golden shine that beamed straight out of the planet's surface and far off into space.

Broly growled and thrashed in the washing mass of energy that threatened to lift him off all the way into the cold and merciless depths of the cosmos before the intensity of the energy wave whited everything out and Gohan was left panting on his knees with no sign of Broly in sight. The drastic physical exertion forced the young teen back into his base form as he turned back to check up on his father, who panted heavily laying on his back.

"Gohan, are you okay?" Krillin landed beside the kneeling and exhausted teen while checking up on him.

"You should ask that of the other guy," Yamcha laughed out confidently while patting Gohan on the back. "Nice work, kid."

"Open your eyes, you fools," Piccolo scolded the pair. "If you can't sense that dreadful Ki swallowing up this entire cluster of planets, you're absolutely blind in Ki sensory. Soon enough, he'll go completely out of control and you'll be able to sense him from a different side of the universe altogether…"

"All of you…" Broly's scorned voice filled the air, driving Krillin to jump up startled, and stagger back in disbelief while Yamcha and Piccolo adopted a fighting pose and Gohan struggled to return to his feet as well. "All of you better get out of my way! YOU'RE ALL IN MY WAY!"

Broly screamed out from somewhere far off into Planet Vegeta's atmosphere, but the jade-colored energy bubble he formed around him betrayed his location well enough. A blizzard of Ki blasts began a merciless and methodical rampage, raining down all across Planet Vegeta and causing untold, planet-leveling devastation as Broly expunged a grand deal of the swelling power that kept plaguing his mad mind for a violent and swift release. The voices grew louder and louder still the more power came rushing and coursing through Broly's body.

He won't stop until his power is maximum. If there truly was such a thing. If there wasn't, Broly would find that ceiling and smash it to bits with his headbutt and soar through unimpeded. He was the Legendary Super Saiyan, and he reigned supreme in this universe. There was only one like him, and these fools wanted to turn her against him. They all deserved a proper stomping like the insects they were for this.


"You can sense it, can't you? Broly's power is escalating out of control and not even your unbelievably powerful friends will be able to stop him!" Paragus taunted Chayote with a clenched fist.

"He's not here to protect you, though. Do you think he cares at all? From the looks of it, he loves you like a hostage loves his kidnapper. Who really are you and who is Broly exactly?" Chayote called Paragus out on his castle of lies that he had built that slowly began unraveling and crumbling down alongside his empire, which was being thrashed outside as the two Saiyans spoke.

"You know who we are. I am Paragus, a Saiyan commander, and Broly is my son. He's a Legendary Super Saiyan, just like you!" Paragus replied, choosing to weave himself back into the cocoon of his deceit instead of telling Chayote the truth as she asked him to. "Instead of fighting us, you should join up with us. You're a Legendary Super Saiyan, ruling the Saiyan race is your legacy! Stop resisting it and embrace it! Take up this crown!"

"If you keep on lying to me, how do you believe I'll ever trust you enough as my advisor to become the queen?" Chayote shook her head with mockery of Paragus' call for her to take up her crown.

"You don't have to trust me, Chayote. But you must realize by now that the power that Broly is using to trounce your friends at the moment is just his Super Saiyan power. We both know he has an even more terrifying transformation I am holding at bay. With that unleashed, he will rip your friends apart limb by limb. In time, even that ultimate Namekian warrior you've brought here will fall as Broly's power grows to undisputed levels of ultimateness!" Paragus taunted Chayote as the wall behind him burst with a hefty blast that crumbled it down and revealed the grisly scene of brutal violence occurring outside. Broly charged, dragging Krillin's face through the ground before turning around and kicking Yamcha aside, then challenging Piccolo to an exchange of blows before a vertical halo around Broly's chest expelled an emerald energy wave that washed the Namekian aside and he clashed with the Super Saiyan duo of Goku and Gohan in an exchange of fists and kicks.

"Is that your plan, then? Guilt trip me into joining you by threatening my friends' lives?" Chayote's face turned sour as she took a threatening step forward, coming ever closer to blasting this runt from her past aside and closing that chapter of her life forever.

"It isn't just that. My crown can control that transformation. You can finally achieve that which you've always wanted–you can control your rage. At your request, I can soothe your body and mind and keep your worst impulses at bay, and, when you need it, I can let it all go for you. We both know you stand no chance against Broly when he can trigger and control his Legendary Super Saiyan transformation at my command," Paragus laughed out. "You can't kill me either, I bonded his crown to my heartbeat so that when my heart stops, Broly's crown will never stop tormenting him with chemical infusions that make his pain receptors go wild. He'll rampage across the entire universe unimpeded until he destroys all. That'll be my last resort, Chayote, so let's not let it get to that, shall we? Take up your crown and your empire, only you and I can calm Broly down and, with my aid controlling and strengthening your Legendary Super Saiyan transformation, only I can help you defeat him."

"Hmph…" Chayote closed her eyes and moved up to Paragus in an instant, cross-chopping him to the sides of his neck and leaving him down and unconscious on the floor. "No one's ever accused me of taking a reasonable way out. I'll take my chances with your rage monster, Paragus, and if you come near my home and my family, I'll rip him to pieces in front of you and force him down your throat like you're shoving all this Planet Vegeta bullshit down into mine. Shit… Why am I talking to unconscious people again…?"


"Alright, everyone at once!" Goku commanded as Krillin thrust his hands out and fired a combined energy wave that careened off toward the sky and rained down Kamehameha waves from the combined cluster that rained down onto Broly and locked him into place.

"Spirit Ball!" Yamcha yelled out, throwing a large energy sphere toward Broly that kept on bouncing off of the golden crown he tried cracking to no avail as Broly's uncontrollable Ki made it impossible for the energy ball to even come close to grazing it.

Just as the Spirit Ball detonated in Broly's face, Gohan swooped down and grabbed hold of Broly's crown from up above in the most brazen attempt yet, pulling it back but failing to budge it. Super Saiyan Broly grabbed hold of young Gohan's head and pulled him down for a knee strike to the face before smashing him aside with a cross.

Piccolo's antennae flicked with an electrical current washing over Broly and stunning him in place while Goku flashed up to the stunned giant and placed his arms by his forehead. "Solar Fist!" he yelled out, forcing Broly to writhe in pain and stagger back while Goku wrapped his arms around Broly for a Full-Nelson from behind. This way, Broly had to struggle against an insurmountable number of obstacles to return to full motion.

"Come on…!" Krillin coughed out, throwing a Kienzan at Broly's forehead that then split into eight separate Kienzan discs slicing at the crown from multiple angles and directions but, despite the spew of sparks coming out of it, neither of them achieved anything more than scraping the crown's surface before shattering away.

Broly roared, expelling an explosive energy wave from his entire body that flung Goku off of him and left him skidding across the devastated battleground on Planet Vegeta as the sadistic Super Saiyan wheezed with bad intentions beaming from his eyes.

"It's okay, guys," Chayote yelled out to the Dragon Team before joining up. "Stop wasting your time with the stupid crown. I've knocked Paragus out, so Broly's got no way of transforming anymore. Paragus can't send signals and chemicals to his brain until he wakes up. Just beat this guy down the old-fashioned way."

"Ch… Chayote…" Broly muttered, seemingly breaking his spell of never-ending wrath as he extended a quivering hand and gaped his jaw in disbelief. Even his ever-wrathful eyes opened up to a pitiful expression of betrayal. "N… No…" Broly muttered with a shaky and breaking voice.

The Super Saiyan curled up and grabbed his head while his hair spiked up and grew out of control, becoming too bright to determine its true color as they were too blinding to look at. A painful growl of betrayal kept singing from the depths of Broly's lungs as the Saiyan's eyes became bloodshot and his expression twisted into sheer hatred and wrath. Then, the hate just let go, the grip that Broly had on reality shattered and his mind collapsed alongside it. A radiant glow of bright green surrounded the bellowing Super Saiyan. Both his lamentation of the betrayal of one of his own and his growing power spread far and wide to the other ends of the world that hosted its destructive king.

"T-This shouldn't be possible…" Chayote shivered in terror, facing the nightmarish transformation of the Legendary Super Saiyan from the other side of the fence for the first time in her life. "Paragus is down and out, he's got no way to trigger the transformation!"

"You idiot!" Piccolo hissed. "That doesn't mean that Broly can't ascend to reach the form naturally, through extreme wrath. Just like you do…"

"Then… That means…" Gohan muttered, stunned in disbelief. "Broly… He truly is a Legendary Super Saiyan, just like Chayote!?"

As the emerald tinge aura fumed from Broly's body, his muscles swelled up to a nigh absurd degree and his body grew further in size, to the point of absolutely towering above everyone around him. This chaotic transformation only aggravated the collapse of Planet Vegeta's surface and the bursts of magma geysers spilling out from the planet's mantle and the firestorms of its core that gloomed up the sky in red shrouds. The crimson cumuli cemented the foreign world in complete darkness as only Broly's emerald glow provided any semblance of terrifying light to its surface.

Cerulean lightning bolts ripped through the atmosphere as the radiant emerald aura became a pillar and a spotlight for Broly's turbulent transformation. The battered and worn-out Dragon Team took their defensive fighting poses, awaiting with a deep-seated terror of the monstrous transformation running its course. Goku ripped his tattered orange gi, leaving him with just a torn-up weighted shirt underneath. Just as abruptly as it started, Broly's aura withdrew within his body. The stiffened warrior stared at the shrouded sky above that rained down cinders of his wounded planet as everyone dauntingly realized that this was just the eye of the storm they were stuck in.

Broly cried out in pain with a twisted expression, releasing the emotional, psychological and physical hurt all out with leaking rays of emerald light that burst out from his mouth and his eyes as if Broly was a living lantern. A beacon of energy. The rays of light began peeling his skin off bit by bit as it molded and swelled up his body into something else. All of his pent-up energy and emotional outburst came blowing up at once, spilling out into a blinding bubble of light that emanated rays of emerald light and flaming golden shock waves riding the concussive expanse. The resonance of his emerald energy dome spread out with black ink-like ripples that changed the visible light filter of the entire planet with each resonance. The apocalyptic quasar of energy withdrew back to its swollen-up source that emitted a simple flaming lime-colored aura from his entire body.

The Legendary Super Saiyan stood tall as a genuine titan of power. An amalgam of raw berserk force. Both a monolith to the physicality of violence but also a fiendish spit in the face of beauty, grace, and restraint. A god of brutality, savagery, and barbarism and a transgression against control and spiritual enlightenment and everything martial arts taught one to strive toward. The Legendary Super Saiyan Broly stood as an immovable juggernaut and an embodying monolith of every wrong lesson one could learn in their path as a martial artist and a warrior.

There was nothing mortal or human, nothing spiritual or deep in this snarling monster of radiant power. All that he strived to be was muscle, hair, and depraved ferocity, and he went above and beyond to achieve that state. At last, Broly's power was maximum!
