"Boom."
The energy beam struck Broly, kicking up a cloud of black smoke.
"Huff, huff."
The Kamehameha had used up nearly all of Son Gohan's energy. His arms drooped weakly at his sides as he stared fixedly into the depths of the smoke.
Son Gohan's face didn't brighten just because the Kamehameha had hit Broly. Instead, he watched with a pale expression, knowing full well that his power hadn't been enough to hurt Broly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have struggled so much seven years ago.
Sure enough, when the smoke cleared, Broly was still standing inside a shimmering green energy barrier, a defiant smile on his face, as if mocking Son Gohan for thinking he could win.
"This is it. We're really done for. Dad, what should I do?" Son Gohan roared in frustration, transformed into a Super Saiyan, and launched another attack at Broly.
"Big bro."
Son Goten clenched his fists, watching Son Gohan fight in frustration. Then he looked at his fallen friend. "Trunks."
"I need power."
"Ugh!" Broly punched Son Gohan in the stomach, the force making him spit up bile.
"I need power."
"Ah!" Broly stomped on Son Gohan's chest. Son Gohan cried out in pain and coughed up blood.
"I want power."
Broly stomped on Son Gohan's chest again, making him cough up more blood. He kept stomping, cracking the ground like a web of fissures that spread in every direction as the surface slowly caved in.
Watching Son Gohan being trampled, Son Goten hated how weak he was. All his frustration and anger erupted as a torrent of power.
"I want... power!" Son Goten roared at the sky. It was as if something inside him had shattered, and a terrifying power surged forth without end. Broly sensed the change in him and pulled his foot off Son Gohan's chest.
"Raaaaah!"
Son Goten roared like thunder. The aura that had surrounded him as a Super Saiyan now surged upward like jets of flame, while sparks of electricity crackled around him. Only a single lock of hair remained over his forehead; the rest of his golden hair stood on end. He fixed Broly with a sharp gaze.
His anger at his own weakness and his frustration at being powerless broke through the barrier holding him back. He underwent another transformation, surpassing the power of a Super Saiyan: Super Saiyan 2.
"Hahaha!" Son Goten's sudden surge in power didn't frighten Broly. Instead, he laughed like a child who had just gotten an exciting new toy, overcome by the urge to destroy Son Goten.
"Kakarot!"
Broly roared. His shimmering green aura boiled as he shot toward Son Goten like a rocket.
"Broly, you're not leaving here alive today," Son Goten said coldly, charging at Broly just as swiftly.
Boom.
Their elbows collided, and a deafening roar echoed across the land. Sparks of electricity flickered at the point of impact.
Smack.
Son Goten blocked Broly's sweeping kick with his arm. This time, the impact was even stronger than before.
"Hah!" Son Goten kicked Broly away, then spun in midair and landed another kick, sending him flying.
"Hahaha!" Broly quickly steadied himself and looked at Son Goten with even greater excitement.
The Legendary Super Saiyan's combative nature began to emerge. He swung both fists and unleashed a furious barrage of blows at Son Goten, who fought back without giving an inch.
Smack.
Smack.
Smack.
Roars echoed through the air. Even the clouds floating overhead scattered from the force of their clashes. Their power kept rising as they fought, but the difference in stamina began to show.
Son Goten started to look tired, while Broly only grew more ferocious. After all, Son Goten was only seven years old, so he couldn't match an adult's stamina. And since he hadn't transformed into Super Saiyan 2 at full strength, his disadvantage was becoming clear.
Damn, I can't keep up with his stamina, Son Goten cursed inwardly. If he weren't just a little kid, he'd make Broly beg for mercy today.
Broly condensed an energy sphere in his hand, then flicked it forward. As it left his palm, the sphere grew larger and larger.
Holy crap.
Son Goten panicked. He cupped his hands together, then thrust them forward, firing a bright blue beam. "Kamehameha!"
The enormous green energy sphere collided with the blue beam in midair. The sphere gradually devoured the blue energy, forcing the beam back.
"Raaah!" Son Goten poured more energy into the attack, but it was no use. The energy continued to push him back.
"Boom."
Another blue beam shot from behind Son Goten. He turned to look. "Big bro!"
"Goten, don't let up!" Son Gohan barked sternly, his pale green eyes fixed on the energy sphere.
Son Gohan walked over and stood beside Son Goten. "Goten, unleash all your power!"
"Okay," Son Goten nodded.
"Haaaaah!" The brothers roared together. Their blue beam surged in strength and began to push the energy sphere back.
"Raaaaah!"
Broly was struck by the combined force of the energy sphere and the Kamehameha. He was engulfed by the energy and vanished from the world completely.
