Original Planet

"Lord Frieza... a powerful energy reaction has been detected from coordinates 88832!!!"

An alien researcher sitting before a console spoke with a grave expression.

"A massive energy reaction?"

Frieza turned to look at the researcher with interest as he asked. Dodoria and Zarbon beside him also seemed intrigued... it had been decades, or even longer, since they'd encountered such a situation. Hard not to be curious.

"Wait... Lord Betkas appears to be at those coordinates too!!!"

Just then, another researcher spoke up.

"Betkas?! Is it his energy reaction?!"

Frieza's expression shifted slightly as he asked. Dodoria and Zarbon watched with serious faces.

"No... it seems... Lord Betkas went to invade a planet and encountered a powerful enemy. He's fighting now... but..."

The researcher's face was clouded with gloom, as if reluctant to continue.

"But what?! Speak!"

Frieza asked impatiently. Dodoria and Zarbon breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing it wasn't Betkas's energy—they'd feared it might be. After all, for these researchers to call it a massive energy reaction, the battle power had to exceed 500,000 at least.

No wonder they were tense.

"The difference in battle power values is too vast!! Lord Betkas can't win..."

The researcher panicked and quickly answered, his body trembling slightly. The energy they'd detected was just too powerful; otherwise, it wouldn't have shaken him.

"Interesting... Zarbon, Dodoria... prepare the spaceship. We'll go see."

Frieza's cold face broke into a faint smile as he spoke. This time, he was genuinely curious. He trusted the mechanical scouter, so he wanted to see who possessed such immense power.

"Yes, Lord Frieza!!"

Dodoria and Zarbon replied in unison, then withdrew to make preparations.

"Heh heh... who could it be... I can hardly wait..."

Frieza said, then slowly floated away on his hovering chair, missing the researcher's next words.

"What!!!! Another even stronger energy reaction has appeared... what's going on!!!"

Meanwhile...

South Galaxy...

The planet where Betkas, Broly, and Paragus were...

"BOOM!!!"

With a flash of golden light... the planet exploded like a brilliant firework...

At the same time, a spherical spaceship sped through the chaotic field of debris, its destination unknown... The fates of Betkas, Broly, and Paragus were uncertain.

Who could be riding in that spherical spaceship?!!!

...Hours later...

"Lord Frieza... from the looks of it, this planet has indeed exploded..."

Dodoria knelt on one knee, reporting respectfully.

"Is that so... and what about the owner of that massive energy reaction?"

Frieza asked calmly.

"According to headquarters, it seems to have vanished with the planet's explosion!"

Zarbon continued from the side.

"And Betkas?"

Frieza asked, a bit bored. After all, they'd rushed all the way here only to find this scene—hard not to feel let down.

"Betkas's spaceship... seems to have headed for some planet... As for whether it's really Betkas, headquarters has confirmed that the person inside the ship is..."

Zarbon paused to think, organizing his words before continuing.

Frieza raised an eyebrow in slight surprise.

...South Galaxy, a natural planet brimming with primitive life...

A small spherical spaceship pierced through the atmosphere, descending like a meteor toward the planet's surface.

"CRASH!!!"

The ship smashed through a sharp mountain peak, breaking straight through without stopping, racing further onward.

"BOOM!!!"

"SCREECH!!!"

When the ship slammed into a forest, a thunderous roar erupted, leaving a crater nearly fifty meters wide. It startled a flock of birds into flight.

"Chirp chirp!!"

And then, the hatch of the small spaceship opened... revealing a figure within... The figure silently stepped out of the hatch... On closer inspection, one would surely be startled... because this person was covered in wounds, not a single spot on his body unscathed... as if he had endured some fierce battle, leaving him severely injured, even on the verge of death...

And he... was none other than Betkas!!!!

"Slap!"

"Ba...stard... da.mn. B.ro.ly... heh... later... I'll... definitely..."

Betkas clutched the wound on his right hand, his gaze blurry as he stared ahead... then suddenly lost consciousness, collapsing forward into a faint...

At the same time... from the forest beyond the large crater, several figures emerged... as if they only dared to step out confidently after seeing Betkas had fallen unconscious...

After these figures came out, they appeared somewhat similar to humans... aside from their uniformly green hairstyles, they also had rather high-bridged noses... and even... somewhat elongated ears... yet they didn't resemble the legendary elves, who were said to be full of peace and vitality...

They wore only simple cloth garments, somewhat reminiscent of ancient human attire...

"A youth from the cosmos... his heart is filled with anger and hatred..."

"And that boundless potential..."
