Truth! Legendary Super Saiyan VS Super Saiyan

(An image of his normal state. He doesn't know why it can't be seen. Tragic... Yeah, today's even more tragic. After finally updating for ages, just as I was about to finish, I accidentally messed around chatting, clicked back, and hit the delete key. In an instant, I was sent back... everything was gone. Damn it!!! Ruined my mood... Eh, what was I going to write in the announcement earlier... Ah, about the truth behind Broly's annihilation back then, it'll be written out now. Though the fight's a bit short, time doesn't allow more. Yeah, I'll lengthen it later.)

Betkas was now in midair, simply clenching his fists, standing upright, quietly feeling the surging power within his body, along with that trace of an unfamiliar, wandering energy that didn't belong to him, keeping him silent for a long time.

Meanwhile, perhaps Betkas himself, caught up in the situation, didn't realize it, but Tarble, standing nearby, witnessed Betkas's physical transformation firsthand... His body gradually emitted a golden aura, while his light-golden pupils slowly turned emerald green. His clenched fists bulged with veins, and an overwhelmingly powerful pressure swept through the surroundings.

The sky, which had been clear and sunny, eerily turned into a canopy of dark, ominous clouds, occasionally striking the ground with bolts of lightning. This scene deeply shook Tarble.

"What's happening?!"

Tarble swallowed hard, breaking out in a cold sweat as he stared blankly at the scene, his fists clenched tightly. He could feel the immense pressure radiating from Betkas—a sense of invincibility that only came from an insurmountable gap in strength.

"Ha!!"

At the same time, Betkas himself was carefully sensing the energy flowing within him, pondering it deeply. But before he could think further, feeling the energy swelling inside him, he let out a loud shout!

Dozens of violent lightning bolts struck the ground with booming sounds. In the next instant, Betkas erupted with a shocking force, and a hurricane centered on him violently swept through the surroundings. Tarble, caught in the gale, was blown far away, forced to brace himself with his arms in front of him, staring intently.

Now, Betkas was entirely enveloped in a golden, flame-like aura, his golden hair swaying wildly in the storm, and his expression even colder and more oppressive.

"So this is Super Saiyan! Hmph, this feeling is incredible! Compared to before, it was way too weak. But back then, something sealed my transformation."

Betkas stared blankly at his current state, unconsciously breaking into a nostalgic smile, then carefully recalled a scene from long ago.

[Flashback]

Over a decade ago... just before the pseudo-form Broly annihilated Betkas...

"Damn it!! If I could transform into a Super Saiyan!! If I could become a Super Saiyan... this bastard...!!"

Betkas watched Broly's Ki Blast being fired, his face full of unwillingness. His body was still suppressed by that overwhelming gap in power; even moving was too late.

"Boom!!!"

"Hahaha!!!"

Broly continued laughing maniacally, utterly indifferent to what he had just done, simply reveling in his joy. His expanding body kept emitting an increasingly powerful aura, sending chills down one's spine.

"Huh?!"

Suddenly, in the next second, Broly stopped laughing, staring expressionlessly at the smoke-filled spot where Betkas had stood.

The smoke gradually cleared, and what appeared before Broly was a Betkas wrapped in a golden, flame-like aura. His golden hair, emerald-green pupils, cold and stern face, and even greater power unmistakably indicated... Betkas had transformed into a Super Saiyan. But unlike other Super Saiyans, his hair didn't stand on end; it kept its original style, only changing color. His small frame had also grown noticeably more robust.

Broly just sneered. In the next instant, his aura surged dramatically. His hair turned emerald green, his pupils vanished, and his body became even more muscular. This signified Broly's true transformation into the Legendary Super Saiyan, not the pseudo-form.

Then, he charged straight at Betkas. Betkas clenched his fists, silent, his emerald-green eyes fixed on the oncoming Broly, and dashed forward. In the blink of an eye, they closed in on each other.

Broly raised his powerful right fist and swung it swiftly at Betkas's face. Betkas watched Broly's fist, immediately ducking low. Broly's fist passed over his head, missing. In the next moment, Betkas quickly clenched his right fist and punched Broly's chest with full force.

"Thud!"

"Ugh!"

A dull impact sound rang out. Broly let out a faint grunt, then, seeing Betkas's smaller frame, bent his right knee and struck at Betkas. Betkas swiftly backflipped to dodge, then fired a golden Ki Blast from his left hand at Broly. Broly, without hesitation, launched a small green energy sphere from his right hand toward Betkas.

"Sizzle!!"

The Ki Blast and energy sphere, separated by a hair's breadth, hurtled toward each other. Neither could avoid the other, and both were hit. A tremendous destructive force erupted.

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

Two explosions sounded, and two mushroom clouds of different colors rose up... Smoke filled the air, and winds howled.

Soon, two figures appeared in each other's view in different states.

Broly had a trickle of blood on his head, laughing maniacally, muttering, "Hahaha!!! Betkas!! Betkas!!"

Betkas wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, battered and bruised, staring calmly at the still-crazed Broly.

"One final move... I'll bet everything I've got!!"

Betkas fixed a sharp gaze on Broly, then silently resolved. He dared not continue fighting Broly, who would only grow infinitely stronger. As it was, he couldn't even seriously injure Broly; close combat was useless. So his only option was a full-power Ki Blast.

"Ka... me... ha... me... ha!!"

Betkas thought of the technique from Dragon Ball, a common but practical move. He immediately placed his hands together at his right hip and spoke slowly. Astonishingly, a blue Ki Blast began to form in his right hand, gradually taking shape.

"Hmph... hahaha!!! Disappear!!"

Though crazed, Broly saw Betkas's intent. He raised both hands high, gathering an enormous green energy sphere, even larger than the Spirit Bomb Son Goku had once created.

Both stared intently at each other... In the next moment, they simultaneously hurled their attacks.

The energy sphere and blue Ki Blast collided...

An extremely dazzling light gradually obscured their vision... At the same time, Betkas vanished from the spot, while Broly continued laughing maniacally, now surrounded by a green protective barrier.

Seconds later...

"Boom!!"

This planet turned into cosmic dust!!
