"Dad!"
"Uncle Goku!"
"Goku, what are you doing here?"
The three of them were startled when Son Goku suddenly appeared.
"So you all came here!"
Son Goku grinned and scratched his head. "How's it going? Have you run into the legendary Super Saiyan?"
"Paragus said he had a lead, and Uncle Vegeta went after it." Trunks knitted his brows, his voice full of concern. "But I'm sure Paragus is lying. This has to be a trap."
"Paragus?" Son Goku was completely confused.
"Come on, take me there. I can sense Vegeta's ki. It seems he's back on this planet." Son Goku beckoned them over.
They immediately took to the sky and flew at full speed in the direction of the ki.
Before long, they spotted Vegeta's spaceship.
"Damn it! Where did he go?"
Vegeta had just leaped down from the spaceship and was cursing furiously.
He'd searched space for hours and hadn't found a trace of anyone. He'd come all this way for nothing.
"Well, hey, Vegeta."
Son Goku landed steadily and greeted him with a smile. "Did you run into the legendary Super Saiyan?"
"Kakarot? What are you doing here?"
Vegeta's expression darkened the instant he saw his old rival. "You got a death wish? Want me to send you off early?"
"You're always so hostile whenever you open your mouth." Son Goku laughed, not taking it to heart at all.
"Quit sticking your nose where it doesn't belong!" Vegeta clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking. "The legendary Super Saiyan can only die at my hands!"
Son Goku didn't respond. His gaze passed right over Vegeta and fell on the towering figure behind him.
It was Broly.
"Guh... guh..."
The instant he saw Son Goku, Broly seemed to be struck by lightning.
His hollow, dim eyes suddenly narrowed, then erupted with a fierce, bloodthirsty rage.
Whoosh!
A dazzling golden aura burst out of him without warning.
His violent ki began climbing uncontrollably. The gale swept up the rubble around them, sending it clattering against the ground.
"This ki..."
Son Goku was startled, his brows knitting tightly.
It was so familiar!
The terrifying ki left behind on the ruined planet that had just been completely destroyed felt exactly like the ki Broly was giving off now!
"Broly!"
Seeing the look in Broly's eyes, Paragus broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly activated the control device.
"Calm down, Broly!"
He gritted his teeth and increased the device's power.
The comet hadn't arrived yet, and the plan hadn't reached its final stage. He absolutely couldn't let Broly's true power be exposed now.
"Guh... guh..."
Broly was like a frenzied beast, completely beyond control.
He bared two rows of stark white teeth, his face twisted into a savage snarl.
He stared at Son Goku as if facing a sworn enemy with a blood feud, looking ready to pounce and devour him alive.
"What the hell is going on, Paragus?"
Vegeta had no patience for watching the father and son waste time. He shouted impatiently, "Enough with the nonsense. Take me to the legendary Super Saiyan, now!"
"Yes, King Vegeta. Right away."
Paragus nodded repeatedly, then lowered his voice and shouted at Broly, "Get back, Broly!"
But Broly remained where he was, fists clenched tight, the murderous glint in his eyes growing stronger.
"I don't think we need to look, Vegeta."
Son Goku's expression grew solemn as he suddenly spoke.
"Kakarot, what the hell are you babbling about now?"
Vegeta's face was full of anger. "The legendary Super Saiyan can only die at my hands. Stay out of this!"
For the past few years, Son Goku and Qin Feng had hogged all the glory, leaving the proud Saiyan Prince seething with frustration.
This time, he had to take down this hidden final boss all by himself!
"I mean, he's right here. We don't need to look for him."
Son Goku sounded absolutely certain.
At first, he'd only thought the ki felt similar. But now he was completely sure that the big guy before them was the culprit.
The violent ki emanating from him was exactly the same as the feeling left behind on the ruined planet.
"What?"
Vegeta froze, then turned to stare at Broly.
"Drop the act, Paragus. Broly is the legendary Super Saiyan, isn't he?"
Son Goku fixed him with a sharp gaze, exposing him outright.
"W-what are you talking about?"
Paragus's heart lurched. He hurriedly denied it. "Broly's battle power isn't even as high as mine. How could he possibly be the Super Saiyan?"
His scheme hadn't succeeded yet. If Broly's identity was exposed, everything would be over!
"Still denying it to the bitter end."
Son Goku couldn't be bothered with him. He turned to Broly. "Broly, show us what you can really do."
He had no idea why the big guy went berserk the moment he saw him, but the fighting instinct in Son Goku's bones was already impossible to suppress.
"Ka... Kakarot..."
A guttural growl, unlike anything a human could make, rumbled from Broly's throat.
Boom!
A ring of raging blue-gold energy erupted beneath his feet.
His black hair stood on end, turning a bizarre dark purple.
Pseudo Super Saiyan!
The ki around Broly surged wildly, like a volcano erupting.
"Paragus, you old dog! You dared to play me!"
Vegeta would have to be an idiot not to understand now.
Paragus's own son was the God of Destruction he'd been searching for!
"You fool. Took you long enough to figure it out."
With his identity exposed, Paragus dropped the pretense and sneered. "The way you used to dream of becoming King Vegeta—you were a complete clown."
"I'd planned to let you live one more day and collect your corpses after the comet hit. Since you're so eager to die, I'll send you on your way right now!"
Decades ago, the old King Vegeta had feared Broly's terrifying potential and worried that he might threaten the throne someday. So he'd cruelly beaten father and son half to death, then tossed them into the depths of space like trash.
If Broly hadn't been lucky enough to awaken a protective shield, they would have been dead long ago.
"You old bastard! You dared to deceive me!"
Vegeta's eyes blazed with fury.
A nobody with a battle power of only a few thousand had actually made the mighty prince look like a fool!
"Die!"
Vegeta roared and instantly transformed into a Super Saiyan.
He became a golden streak of lightning and flashed straight in front of Paragus.
Squelch!
A blood-soaked arm pierced through Paragus's chest and out his back.
"You..."
Paragus's eyes bulged, his face full of horror and despair.
He'd never imagined that Vegeta would skip the threats and go straight for the kill!
This wasn't how the script was supposed to go!
"You really thought I couldn't tell you were up to something?"
Vegeta's expression was so cold he barely seemed alive. "This is what happens when you scheme against me."
Bang!
Vegeta's arm jerked, and a powerful burst of ki instantly blew Paragus's body into a cloud of blood.
"Vegeta..." Son Goku frowned.
Vegeta was still as ruthless as ever.
"Kakarot..."
Even with his father dying right before him, Broly didn't so much as glance at him.
He stared fixedly at Son Goku and let out a beastlike roar.
His ki continued swelling without end.
Whoosh!
His dark purple hair instantly turned a brilliant gold, and the violent shock wave scraped a layer of earth from the ground around them.
"To hell with the legends! I'll cripple you right now!"
Vegeta flashed forward, appearing behind Broly in an instant.
He raised his right leg and put all his strength into a vicious roundhouse kick to Broly's neck.
Bang!
A muffled boom rang out.
Everyone stared in stunned disbelief.
Broly had taken Vegeta's full-force attack head-on, yet his body hadn't even wobbled!
His ki was still climbing wildly!
"That's ridiculous! Vegeta kicked him, and he didn't even get a scratch!" Son Goku exclaimed, his face changing dramatically.
