Invincible Broly

"Roar."

Broly frantically pushed his power to the limit. The ki within him seemed endless, and with a thunderous boom, he exploded, enveloped in a surge of emerald light.

Ripples pulsed through the air, each wave distorting the very heavens as it passed. As the light faded, Broly's form revealed itself to the others.

His muscles were massively enlarged, similar to the third form of a Super Saiyan. His golden, spiky hair had turned a luminous green, his pale yellow eyebrows were now stark white, and his pupils had vanished. Paired with his savage expression, he looked like a demon crawled up from the depths of hell.

"Kakarot," Broly locked his sights on Son Goten, unleashing a barrage of green ki blasts with manic intensity.

"Oh no, run, Trunks!" Goten's eyes widened as he shouted. He kept his gaze glued to the incoming blasts, maneuvering his body to dodge them. Trunks, standing right beside him, was naturally caught in the fray; he didn't even have time to speak, focusing entirely on weaving through the center of the onslaught.

"I'll help you!" Seeing Goten and Trunks surrounded by the ki blasts, Videl lunged forward, desperate to save them.

"No, don't come over here!" Goten shouted, sensing the danger. He knew the energy contained in every single blast was enough to obliterate Videl.

Bang.

Just as Videl neared them, a stray blast struck her. A tall figure caught her before she hit the ground. Videl struggled to open her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the handsome face of Son Gohan.

"Gohan... kun," Videl whispered his name before losing consciousness.

"Hmm." Broly halted his assault, turning his gaze in confusion toward Gohan, who was hovering in mid-air after setting Videl down. Upon seeing Gohan's face, he let out a furious roar: "Kakarot!"

"Broly? I never imagined you survived after my father defeated you back then," Gohan muttered to himself, his body erupting with a tuan sound as he transformed into a Super Saiyan.

"Kakarot."

Memories flooded Broly's mind: Son Goku in the adjacent crib back on Planet Vegeta, as if he could still hear the infant's crying. The memory shifted to seven years ago, the moment Goku—having briefly boosted his combat power with the energy of Vegeta and the others—defeated him with a single punch. He could no longer contain his rage.

"Kakarot!"

Broly roared and lunged forward, streaking toward Gohan like a cannonball. Gohan furrowed his brows, his hands moving constantly to parry Broly's relentless offensive.

"Thud."

"Thud."

"Thud."

Every collision sent ripples tearing through the air. Seizing an opening, Broly moved with the speed of teleportation, appearing behind Gohan. He grabbed Gohan's arms, pulling them back while driving his knee into Gohan's spine.

"Aaaah!"

Gohan was in agony, yet filled with bitter resentment. If only he still had that power from seven years ago—the power that had destroyed Cell...

"Haa!" x2.

Seeing Gohan's predicament, Goten and Trunks straightened their arms, firing two beams of ki from their palms.

"Hmph."

Seemingly sensing their energy, Broly merely flashed a savage grin. He didn't dodge or block, taking the full force of their combined energy head-on.

"Yes! We hit him, that monster!" Trunks boasted. "Idiot, who told you to take that head-on? You're dead now!"

"No, not yet," Goten said, his face pale as he stared intently at the spot obscured by smoke. "Sense it—that guy's ki hasn't weakened at all."

"Nani?"

Trunks looked over in shock. As the smoke cleared, Broly stood there completely unscathed, though he had stopped torturing Gohan.

"He... he... he's just a monster," Trunks stammered, terrified.

"Heh," Broly sneered, releasing Gohan. Deprived of the power to sustain his transformation, the unconscious Gohan reverted to his base form.

"A monster? No, I am a devil. Hahaha!"

The world fell silent, save for Broly's manic laughter echoing across the sky.

"This guy is a complete lunatic," Goten said grimly.

Suddenly, Broly surged forward, grabbing both of them by the throat and using his momentum to charge, smashing through pillar after pillar of rock.

"Go to hell, Kakarot!" Broly threw his hands out, hurling Goten and Trunks into the stone mountain.

"Cough, cough, cough." Goten struggled to crawl out of the rubble. He had reverted to his base form; being gripped by Broly like that had been excruciating.

"Ka..."

"Me..."

Hearing the muffled chant behind him, Broly turned around. Gohan held his hands cupped at his waist, a deep blue sphere of energy glowing with intense light.

"Ha..."

"Me..."

"Heh," Broly looked at Gohan with disdain, as if he weren't worth the effort.

"HAAAA!"

The energy gathered, and with a deafening roar, Gohan unleashed a brilliant blue beam of energy straight at Broly, the blast seemingly tearing the world in two.
