Facing the Legend

The psychotic saiyan looked down at Trunks and 18 with an insane grin on his face. He didn't know who they were, and, quite frankly, he didn't care. He couldn't sense anything from the woman, but the boy held great power. Perhaps he would prove to be entertaining for a while. He had time for some fun before he searched for Kakarot.

He briefly wondered where he was. The last thing he remembered was fighting Kakarot and some other weaklings on the planet his father called New Vegeta with Comet Camori seconds away from crashing into it and killing them all. Kakarot had momentarily stunned him with a powerful attack just before he and the others disappeared.

Broly wasn't sure how he did it, but he had somehow locked onto Kakarot's energy signature and followed it here. After he landed, he was still weak from Kakarot's attack, leaving him in a dazed state. Then he had been covered by ice and fallen asleep.

He didn't remember much after that point. The next thing he did remember was waking up after some large spaceship of some kind freed him from his icy prison. Shortly after that, the strange spaceship, that seemed to be covering the entire planet, just drifted away and exploded.

Broly hadn't given any of it a second thought. He had one thing on his mind. Revenge. He was going to make Kakarot pay for what he had done to him. Actually, he now had to pay him back twice as much, for hurting him back on New Vegeta, and for the reason he couldn't remember for wanting Kakarot dead to begin with.

Seeking out the strongest power source, he had been led here. The power he sensed was coming from a boy who also appeared to be a Super Saiyan. But that silver alien in the sky had been about to blow them all up, and Broly couldn't let that happen, not before he had his fun.

So, after quickly disposing of the metal alien, he now hovered in the air above another Super Saiyan and a woman whose power he couldn't sense at all.

18 wiped a strand of hair out of her face. "What's with this guy? You said his name is Broly? Who is he, Trunks?"

Trunks glared at the living legend. "He's a naturally born Super Saiyan, the first in over a thousand years. But Goku defeated him years ago. He should be dead right now."

But Broly was very much alive. Trunks didn't know how. He remembered going to the past and facing Broly back then. At the time, Goku hadn't been strong enough to beat the psychotic saiyan. Only after Goku had absorbed all the energy from Gohan, Trunks, Piccolo, and Vegeta was he able to win.

'Is that the reason?' Trunks wondered. 'In this time period, I wasn't involved in the fight with Broly. Since I wasn't able to supply Goku with power, Broly must have been able to survive Goku's attack.'

And now he was here on Earth. Great, that was the last thing he needed. And just how in the hell was he supposed to win? Broly was even stronger than Cell in his perfect form. He wasn't stronger than Luud, but that monster had had a critical weak spot that brought forth his destruction. Broly had no such weak spot.

"Kakarot!" Broly demanded. "Where is Kakarot?"

18 glanced at Trunks. "Kakarot. Wasn't that Goku's saiyan name?"

Trunks nodded. "For some reason, this guy is obsessed with Goku. That seems to be a habit among bad guys."

18 crossed her arms. "And Goku seems to have a habit of not finishing his battles. First Frieza, then Cooler, now this guy. And didn't Garlic Jr. make a comeback as well?"

"Now's not the time." Trunks grumbled. "We have a serious situation here. I've gone up against Broly before. He's stronger than you can imagine. He took out Cooler like he was nothing."
