Super Dragon Ball: Paradise Hysteria

Hot Battle!! Super-Fierce Battle!!

All eight warriors confronting Broly swarmed him at once. It was detrimental to attack this way as each additional person decreased the angle from which one could've attacked and got in one's way to some extent, making one's approach more predictable than usual. However, with numbers this great and odds this bad, this strategy just felt like the right one.

Exclaiming with a resonant shout, Broly expelled a destructive Ki wave out that deflected the warriors that have been starting to crawl over his head and reign unimpeded because he only had two arms and two legs to fend them off with. The explosive energy bubble sent everyone rolling back, however, a radiant golden star lit up in the center of the group.

"Not done yet!" Goku exclaimed as he put his body through an extraordinary ringer by opposing the inertia of his flight after being clapped aside by Broly's explosive energy wave. Broly's eyes widened and his head raced to lower and brace for impact, but the Super Saiyan's jab struck him straight in between the eyes, just above the nose. Goku put his whole body into the following overhead strike, then exploded into a barrage of roundhouse kicks as the golden Super Saiyan Ki focused around his legs and withdrew into his body elsewhere.

With Broly rolling back after taking Goku's explosive kick barrage, the Perfect Super Saiyan clenched his fists by his sides and unchained his aura to pursue Broly while the titan was on the defensive. Goku slammed his foot into Broly's gut, bending the giant's body by the abdomen before Goku slammed both his hands from an overhead position and tried sending Broly to crash down, but he only made Broly's attic ring and twitch.

"Kakarot!" Broly exclaimed, clenching his fists and erupting with a vicious counterattack. The giant's attacks were elementary. What Goku lacked in speed to compete with Broly, he could compensate with sheer skill. Broly made massive follies in his technique, his cross drew power from the shoulder, not transferring it from the entire body. Goku leaned aside from it and noted the flaw in the striking technique in his mind.

The follow-up roundhouse was different. Swift instead of potent, had Goku not slipped behind Broly's back to dodge it, he'd have had trouble dealing with it. Still, Broly didn't put his whole body into it, only kicking from the hip. Could the problem have been with his ridiculously overblown musculature? Maybe Broly couldn't move his cumbersome body the right way? Just as likely was the answer that the brute was a shoddy fighter but an irresistible powerhouse. Broly turned around and went for a grab, but Goku thrust his feet straight into Broly's face. This time it was the ogreish Legendary Super Saiyan that read his opponent, moving an open hand to take Goku's pushing kicks and shove him aside.

With Goku rolling in mid-air, Broly blinked underneath him and tried punting him into open space in one solid go. Repurposing his momentum, Goku let his golden Super Saiyan aura erupt from his body, only to arc around the musclebound colossus and appear directly behind him. Goku read the back elbow and leaned under, but Broly offered a knee to protect his lower body, showing a modicum of skill and fending Goku's offensive off. Finding each other on neutral grounds, the two exploded into an exchange of blows with Broly shrugging off Goku's punches while shooting right back at him without flinching and Goku skillfully redirected or ducked every strike and exploited new openings only for his blows to deal no lasting damage.

"Amazing! Dad can hold his own against Broly for a little!" Gohan gasped as his humble mind couldn't even begin to wrap around the thought of having to take on this terrifying opponent all by himself.

"He got some nice licks in, but it doesn't look like they hurt him too badly. Meanwhile, if the big guy gets his hands on Kakarot, he's as good as through..." Bardock grit his teeth together.

Goku's flurry of fists made Broly's head bounce front and back, but the barbaric Legendary Super Saiyan swung his arms to his sides and bellowed out a thunderous roar that cracked Goku with a concussive sonic shockwave and stiffened him up. Broly wasted no time in scooping Goku out of thin air by grabbing his head, then punching it while he still clenched it, and tossing the Super Saiyan aside while preparing an emerald-colored Ki blast in his right hand.
