Cooler vs. Broly

In the depths of space, a streak of emerald light soared through the cosmos. Even astronomers would have struggled to spot it, since it was moving far faster than light.

Inside the light was a tall, muscular man with a powerful build.

He wore a pair of golden wristbands, and his black hair was styled into a pineapple-shaped crest. His cold expression radiated an icy aura.

This man was none other than the Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly.

Terrifying pressure emanated from his entire body, a testament to his merciless nature and immense power.

If Gamos had seen him, he definitely would have blurted, "Holy crap, it's the boss, Broly!"

Broly was in a foul mood. He felt an inexplicable restlessness, as if an emperor who had always stood above all others had suddenly learned that another emperor could threaten his position.

That feeling filled him with fury. He broke free of the shackles his father had placed on him and fired a ki blast in return, earning himself the title of a most devoted son.

Compared with the newer version, who was a daddy's boy, the original Broly was far more cold-blooded and merciless. He was practically a ruthless killing machine.

Cooler's Crab Spaceship streaked through space, and Broly immediately sensed its presence.

"There's a strong one! Hahaha! Finally, someone who can put up a fight!"

After destroying so many planets, Broly still hadn't found a worthy opponent. It had left him terribly lonely.

Now, he sensed a threat aboard the ship—a lethal one.

And that was just what he needed to awaken his desire to fight.

"Hahaha! Ahahaha!"

Broly grinned savagely and fired an energy blast straight at the Crab Spaceship.

With a tremendous rumble, the ship, which had been racing through space, was suddenly struck and turned into a firework that blossomed across the cosmos.

The few soldiers piloting it were swallowed by the explosion before they could even scream.

At the moment the ship exploded, the three Coolers quickly formed a protective barrier around themselves.

As the ship blew apart, a flash of pink light shot out. Spotting the culprit who had ambushed him, Cooler angrily fired a Death Beam in retaliation.

Broly didn't even dodge Cooler's Death Beam. He simply let it hit him.

The Death Beam struck Broly in the chest and vanished in a flash of light, without causing him the slightest harm.

"Interesting. I can feel your strength. Come, show me what you can do. If you satisfy me, I might take pity on you and send you to Hell a little faster."

Provoked by his opponent, Cooler flew into a rage. He was the mighty Emperor of the Universe, the real estate tycoon who ruled the East Galaxy. Who dared speak to him like that?

And that tail behind his opponent—wasn't he a Saiyan? Saiyans were just Frieza's dogs. How dare one of them challenge his own superior? It was clear this fool didn't know how to spell "death."

Furious, Cooler charged in with a punch. His powerful strike landed squarely on Broly's chest, but Broly didn't react at all.

"Looks like you didn't take a word I said seriously!"

Broly punched back, landing a blow on Cooler's abdomen. The impact doubled Cooler over like a shrimp, and he spat in pain.

"Argh! You're asking for it!"

This Saiyan really wasn't ordinary. Cooler had to kill him.

Cooler roared, and golden flames enveloped his body. Golden Cooler had arrived.

"Not bad, not bad. Now we're talking."

Broly roared as well. Emerald light surrounded him, and he transformed into a Super Saiyan.

But that wasn't all. Broly's body began to grow until he stood three meters tall, towering over his former six-foot frame. His bulging muscles made him look crushingly powerful.

Cooler stared wide-eyed at his opponent's transformation. They'd been the same height just a moment ago, but now Broly had turned into the Hulk. Wasn't that a bit unfair?

Still, fearless Cooler didn't let it faze him. He charged straight at his opponent.

Cooler rained down punches and kicks, but Broly simply stood there, dodging each attack with his upper body while keeping his feet completely still.

The next second, Broly grabbed Cooler's arm and hurled him sideways, smashing him into a massive meteorite.

Cooler cried out. He couldn't believe his opponent was that strong.

Broly didn't stop. He used a Hulk Smash, grabbed Cooler by the tail, and swung him around, slamming him into the surrounding rocks again and again.

With a series of crashes, Cooler was battered and dazed. At the last moment, he had no choice but to tear off his own tail to escape.

The instant Cooler broke free, Broly fired a green energy blast at him. Another tremendous explosion followed.

When the smoke cleared, Cooler's body was unharmed, and even his severed tail had grown back.

"So strong. I never thought such a powerful warrior could come from the lowly Saiyans."

Cooler rolled his neck, his expression grave.

He'd only been testing Broly, but he hadn't expected his opponent to seize the opening and unleash a flurry of attacks, leaving him unable to fight back at all.

He should have gone all out from the start.

Broly wasn't surprised. While he'd been pummeling Cooler, he'd sensed that Cooler hadn't been using his full strength.

"Ready to take this seriously at last?"

Cooler roared, clenched his fists at his waist, and let the golden flames around him blaze even brighter. The bracers on his arms extended backward, and the armor on his shoulders changed, spreading across his entire chest. Armor appeared on his head as well, extending into four horns. Finally, a mask covered his face, leaving only a pair of scarlet eyes exposed.

Ultimate Golden Cooler!

"Damn you, wild monkey! You'll learn just how miserable it is to cross Lord Cooler!"

Cooler attacked again, kicking Broly away. Broly shot off like a streak of light, smashing through countless meteorites before finally coming to a stop.

Before he could catch his breath, Cooler used Instant Transmission and appeared right in front of him, landing a heavy punch to his face.

Left, right, left, right—countless punches rained down like drops of water.

"Now you know how powerful I am! How dare a tiny insect dream of standing against me?"

As Cooler continued to boast, Broly caught his next punch in his hand.

"Good. You've finally got my blood pumping."

Seeing Broly's savage grin, Cooler felt a chill run down his spine for some reason.
