c16 VS Broly
"BOOM!"
The barren plateau where Son Goku had been standing was swallowed in a blinding flash, Broly's ki blast erupting into a mushroom cloud that split the sky.
"Haha! Kakarot is finished!"
Broly's laughter shook the ground itself, his body glowing with the unstable aura of the Legendary Super Saiyan. His eyes widened with mad delight as he stared into the roiling dust.
"Yeah! So it's you! I thought it was Kakarot you were so obsessed with."
That calm, mocking voice cut through the chaos.
"Huh?"
Broly snapped his head around, his murderous eyes narrowing. Out of the haze stood Lin Hao, clutching the unconscious body of Son Goku, who was still breathing despite the devastating explosion.
"Kakarot…"
The sight of Goku spared from annihilation ignited Broly's fury. His aura flared violently, green flames of ki licking the air. With a thunderous stomp, he launched himself forward, tearing through the battlefield like a comet.
Lin Hao's eyes sharpened. The power rushing toward him was unlike anything he had felt even during the Cell Games. He clenched his fists, golden light bursting around him as he transformed into a Super Saiyan Full Power.
"I'll test the true extent of this so-called Legendary Super Saiyan."
"BOOM!"
The collision of their fists shook the nearby mountains, shockwaves leveling the terrain. The clash forced Lin Hao backward, and with Goku still in his arms, he was hurled toward the jagged cliffs. Just before impact, he halted in midair, grinding to a stop.
"What monstrous strength… My Super Saiyan full power should be sitting around fifty billion in combat value. I wasn't even using everything, yet he still forced me back. His strength must be at least fifteen billion already. No wonder Goku and Vegeta, even pushing into their Super Saiyan 2 states, were completely overwhelmed."
(For reference: in the official movies, Broly's base Legendary form pushes far beyond the third stage of Super Saiyan, where Goku and Vegeta's power is roughly around one billion each. The scale lines up with Broly's infamous growth during battle, where his strength keeps multiplying.)
Lin Hao glanced at the battered warriors nearby. Vegeta's prideful spirit had been crushed, and even Goku's willpower couldn't match Broly's endless escalation. At their current Super Saiyan 2 levels, their combat power was somewhere between eight and nine billion—hopelessly insufficient. Worse, they hadn't yet realized the most terrifying part: Broly's strength climbed higher with every passing moment of combat.

"Hah! Perfect! This is far more thrilling than the battle with Cell. Let's see how long you can keep me entertained, Broly… even if I don't fight at full strength."
Lin Hao steadied himself, eyes locked on Broly's berserk figure. He placed Goku down on the rocky ground.
"Oi, Piccolo! Still alive?"
Piccolo, bruised and leaning against a boulder, coughed up blood but smirked. "Hmph… takes more than that to kill me. Figures you'd show up right when things looked worst. Guess you plan on finishing what we started?"
Seeing Goku alive, Piccolo's tension eased slightly. With Lin Hao here, survival seemed possible.
Lin Hao tossed a small pouch toward him. "Senzu beans. Get Goku and Vegeta back on their feet. I'll hold Broly off."
Piccolo caught it, his sharp eyes narrowing as he nodded. "Tch… don't get yourself killed."
Lin Hao grinned, his golden aura surging as he turned back to face the raging Legendary Super Saiyan. "Heh. Don't worry. I came here to have fun."
Lin Hao took out a handful of senzu beans from the pouch tied at his waist and tossed them toward Piccolo before vanishing in an instant, reappearing directly in front of Broly with instantaneous speed.
Piccolo caught the beans, immediately chewing one down to restore his strength, then crouched beside the battered Goku and Vegeta to feed them the rest. The moment the beans slid down their throats, their crushed bodies began to glow faintly, bones snapping back into place, ki signatures steadily rising again.
…
"So, you're the one they call Broly? No wonder you smashed Goku and Vegeta like that you've got some terrifying power in that body."
Lin Hao's gaze sharpened as he sized up the towering, muscle-bound figure. Broly's eyes, glowing pale with madness, carried no recognition of his words only raw hatred focused on one name.
"Kakarot!"
With his mind consumed by rage, Broly lunged. Already deep into his Legendary Super Saiyan state, he roared and swung his massive fist at Lin Hao, the air itself trembling at the strike.
"Tch. Since you're that desperate for a fight… then let's do this!"
"Ahhhhhh—ha!!!"
Lin Hao's own scream split the sky. His golden aura detonated outward in rippling waves, sending stones and dust spiraling like a cyclone. The sheer pressure of his energy warped the air.
Bzzt—bang!
Electric sparks crackled across his golden aura as his hair stiffened upright, his bangs whipping around from the force of his ki. This was Super Saiyan Full Power a form perfected after the Cell Games, visually close to the lightning-laced intensity of Super Saiyan 2.
Lin Hao's energy surged to its peak, his battle power exploding outward. The ground fractured violently, chunks of earth lifting into the sky under the gravity of his unleashed ki, the entire planet shuddering under the strain.
Broly narrowed his eyes. With a primal roar, his own body erupted in that eerie grass-green flame, his muscles bulging further. He thrust both arms forward, summoning glowing emerald spheres of energy before hurling them straight at Lin Hao.
"Ahhh—ha!!"
The twin spheres tore across the battlefield, shrieking through the air.
Lin Hao didn't even flinch. His right hand shot out, palm wide, and with two sharp strikes he slapped both blasts away.
"Shoom!"
The green projectiles spiraled into the ruined wasteland below
"BOOM!"
The earth split open in a blinding flash. A third of the ruined plateau disintegrated instantly, reduced to ash, and in its place a vast crater yawned, glowing red-hot at the edges.
Before the dust even settled, Lin Hao's body flickered from sight. He reappeared right in front of Broly, fists clenched tight.
Broly grinned savagely and swung, his punch crashing forward with devastating force. Lin Hao met him head-on.
"BAM! BAM! BAM!"
In a blur, they exchanged hundreds of blows, each strike detonating like thunderclaps. Every clash carved new scars into the planet mountains leveled, valleys collapsing into rubble.
At first, Broly's monstrous power kept pace with Lin Hao, but as the minutes passed, the difference grew obvious. Lin Hao's refined speed and precision cut through the raw ferocity of Broly's swings.
"Raaaghhh!!"
Frustrated, Broly raised his right hand, summoning a storm of emerald ki blasts, firing them in a relentless barrage.
"Pointless. You can't match me, Broly!"
Lin Hao's voice rang clear through the storm of explosions. In a single instant, he vanished from sight and reappeared right in front of Broly. His golden aura flared as he drove his fist deep into Broly's abdomen.
"Guwaaaahhh!!"
The Legendary Super Saiyan's eyes bulged as the impact forced the air from his lungs, his massive frame convulsing under the crushing blow.
