"Cut the crap! Even if we're going to die, we're taking someone down with us!"
Vegeta's eyes were bloodshot.
At this point, he no longer cared about Saiyans killing fellow Saiyans. The enemy was already trying to kill them. If he still held back now, he'd be an idiot.
"Attack!"
With Vegeta's shout, the trio charged straight at Broly.
Having transformed into a Super Saiyan, Vegeta's power level had reached 500 million.
As for Raditz and Nappa, they still hadn't awakened Super Saiyan. Their power levels were only 500,000 and 1.5 million respectively.
BOOM !
A tremendous force swept across the battlefield.
Haren and the twenty Saiyans behind him were completely stunned by the power radiating from the three warriors.
Especially Vegeta's form.
They all recognized it immediately—the legendary transformation of the Saiyan race, the Super Saiyan.
The Saiyan Prince truly lived up to his reputation!
However...
The moment the three of them approached Broly, Broly suddenly threw back his head and roared.
"ROOOOAR!!!"
Crackle! Crackle!
Grass-green lightning wrapped around his body.
A vast and violent power erupted from within him.
Like an ancient beast awakening from its slumber, his power was so overwhelming that even space itself began cracking apart inch by inch.
Under this terrifying force, Vegeta's trio was instantly blasted away.
"Pfft!"
"What?!"
"W-What kind of power is this?!"
"His aura was only about twice Vegeta's before! How can it suddenly become this terrifying?!"
Raditz and Nappa were swept over a thousand meters away.
Blood sprayed from their mouths.
Merely the shockwave from Broly's power had severely wounded them.
"Damn it! Did Broly learn some special technique from Gran? Or... can he transform into a Super Saiyan too?"
Even Vegeta was blasted back beside Raditz and Nappa.
Under the pressure of Broly's power, his entire body trembled uncontrollably.
"Good! Good! Good!!"
Paragus was also forced to the ground by the pressure, but instead of fear, his heart was overflowing with excitement.
It seemed Broly had truly learned a great deal from Lord Gran!
Yet—
Broly's transformation wasn't over.
His hair flickered continuously with a grass-green glow.
The next second—
BOOOOM!!!
The bloodline of the Legendary Saiyan was fully awakened.
His hair instantly turned grass-green.
The power of the early Third Stage of the Divine Realm erupted from his body.
The terrifying force swept across the entirety of Universe Seven.
At that moment, every Saiyan present collapsed to the ground, their bodies trembling violently.
They weren't trembling because of Broly's terrifying strength.
It was a different kind of fear.
A fear born from bloodline suppression itself.
"N-No way!!"
The pressure crushed all thoughts of resistance in Vegeta's heart.
But how could this be?
He was the Prince of all Saiyans!
His bloodline should have been the noblest of all.
Why was one of his own people able to suppress him so completely?
"Could it be... that my title as Saiyan Prince is a joke?"
Vegeta felt like a complete clown.
Just moments ago, he had mocked Broly as trash.
Now, he didn't even have the courage to stand up.
What humiliation!
Meanwhile, on Haren's side.
"T-Too terrifying! What kind of power is this, Lord Broly? Why is my whole body shaking?"
"I think it's bloodline suppression! Look—even Prince Vegeta is trembling! Could it be that Lord Broly's bloodline is the most noble of all?"
"Hahaha! Having a warrior like this in our Saiyan race is the greatest blessing imaginable!"
"..."
Although the Saiyans behind Haren were frightened by Broly's overwhelming power, they were on the same side as him.
As a result, they weren't nearly as miserable as Vegeta's group.
As for Haren himself—
Broly's invincible figure was forever engraved into his mind.
His eyes burned with fanatic admiration.
This was what a true Saiyan King should look like!
As for Vegeta?
He was nothing but a fart.
"Broly, hurry up and kill them!"
Pinned to the ground, Paragus could barely withstand Broly's oppressive aura and quickly shouted.
Perhaps hearing his father's voice, Broly finally moved.
Wrapped in a grass-green aura, he slowly walked toward Vegeta's group.
With every step he took, Vegeta, Raditz, and Nappa trembled.
Lying on the ground, Vegeta stared at Broly's approaching figure.
Suddenly, something clicked in his mind.
"We were wrong... all of us were wrong!"
Vegeta laughed bitterly.
Raditz hurriedly shouted,
"Vegeta, what are you talking about?! Stop babbling and think of something!"
"Raditz... Nappa... we were all wrong."
Vegeta's voice trembled.
"The transformations that Kakarot and I achieved aren't the legendary Super Saiyan after all!"
"What?!"
"Can't you see?"
Vegeta stared at Broly.
"He is the true Legendary Super Saiyan—the one who appears only once every thousand years!"
Vegeta slammed his fists into the ground like a madman.
"That's why you two—and even me, the Saiyan Prince—are trembling under the suppression of his bloodline!"
"What?!"
Raditz and Nappa's eyes widened in disbelief.
Even Paragus, standing in the distance, heard Vegeta's words.
He couldn't help recalling all those years he had spent with Broly.
No wonder he had often felt inexplicable fear toward his own son.
It was because Broly was the Legendary Super Saiyan who appeared only once every millennium!
"Vegeta, what do we do now?!"
Broly's figure drew closer and closer.
Nappa gritted his teeth so hard they nearly cracked.
Raditz painfully turned his head toward Vegeta.
"Vegeta, do you have any plan left?"
"What plan could I possibly have?"
Vegeta laughed bitterly.
"Can't you see? I don't even have the courage to stand up anymore."
The two instantly sank into boundless despair.
Finally, Broly arrived before them.
Coldly, he said:
"You tried to kill my father.
Prepare to die."
Without hesitation, he thrust forward a sphere of grass-green energy.
The aura of death instantly enveloped the three Saiyans.
Vegeta slowly closed his eyes.
At that moment, three figures appeared in his mind.
One was Tights.
The other two were... Gran and Son Goku.
"Tights... goodbye."
"Gran... goodbye."
"Kakarot... goodbye."
However...
The pain of death he had imagined never came.
Vegeta abruptly opened his eyes.
To his astonishment, the surroundings had completely changed.
The ruined battlefield was gone.
Instead, he found himself standing inside Bulma's home.
"What's going on? Why am I back on Earth?!"
Vegeta was stunned.
Suddenly...
"Big Brother, are you guys alright?"
A familiar voice sounded from behind him.
That voice was one Vegeta knew all too well.
It belonged to Son Goku.
Vegeta immediately turned around and found Goku standing there.
"Kakarot! Was it you who saved us?"
"Yep."
Goku nodded with a grin.
"How did you—"
Before Vegeta could finish asking,
"You guys are safe now. Get some rest. I'll go meet that Broly guy!"
Goku placed two fingers against his forehead.
Whoosh!
In an instant, he vanished.
Only Vegeta, Raditz, Nappa, and Bulma remained.
Bulma was lounging on a beach chair in the courtyard.
"So Goku learned Instant Transmission too, just like Lord Gran."
She muttered to herself before standing up and walking toward Vegeta.
Then she snorted.
"Where's my sister? Why didn't she come back with you?"
"Tights... she..."
Vegeta opened his mouth, unable to finish the sentence.
Seeing his reaction, Bulma's face immediately turned pale.
She grabbed Vegeta by the collar and roared:
"What happened to my sister?! Don't tell me you failed to protect her!"
"S-Sorry..."
Tears streamed from Vegeta's eyes.
Nappa and Raditz shuddered.
Vegeta... was actually crying!
"I won't forgive you!"
Thinking that Tights had died, Bulma's eyes reddened instantly.
She slapped Vegeta hard across the face.
She was even preparing to form a ki blast and blow him up.
Suddenly...
Thud!
A battered figure appeared beside Vegeta and collapsed onto the ground.
It was none other than Son Goku.
The same Son Goku who had just declared he was going to face Broly.
Not even a minute had passed.
Yet he had already been beaten into the shape of a dead dog.
"Goku!!"
Bulma immediately rushed over.
"S-Senzu Beans... belt pouch..."
Goku weakly pointed at his waist.
Bulma quickly searched his belt and found a small bag of Senzu Beans.
She took one out and fed it to him.
The moment he swallowed it, all his injuries disappeared.
Goku instantly sprang to his feet.
Still shaken, he said:
"That Broly is way too terrifying! If he didn't know me, I wouldn't have even had a chance to escape!"
"You know him too?"
Vegeta asked in surprise.
"Yeah!"
Goku nodded.
"When I was still a kid, Lord Beerus brought him to Earth to eat food. I saw him watching from the sidelines while I was competing in the World Martial Arts Tournament."
Goku then explained how he had first met Broly.
Vegeta let out a deep sigh.
So Broly hadn't always been with Gran.
He had even trained under Beerus.
As the true Legendary Super Saiyan, and someone personally guided by Gods of Destruction...
Losing to him wasn't unfair at all.
"Goku, kill Vegeta for me!"
At that moment, Bulma suddenly cried out to Goku.
Goku froze.
"Huh? Why would I kill Vegeta?"
"He took my sister away and couldn't even protect her! I want him dead!"
"Eh?!"
Goku's eyes widened.
He immediately looked toward Vegeta.
Vegeta lowered his head in shame.
"I failed to protect Tights... but she isn't dead. She's still with Broly's group."
"What?!"
The moment she heard that, Bulma became overjoyed.
"???"
Vegeta was completely confused.
Your sister is in enemy hands—why are you so happy?
"If she's with Broly, then there's nothing to worry about."
Bulma let out a sigh of relief.
"Why?"
Vegeta asked.
"Because Broly is my little brother-in-arms. He'd never do anything to my sister."
Bulma lifted her chin proudly.
That monster is your little brother-in-arms?
Vegeta's mouth twitched.
Still, he chose not to say it aloud.
Thinking back, the conversation between Broly and Tights really had involved Bulma.
"Hmph! You couldn't even protect my sister, and in the end my little brother-in-arms had to clean up your mess. You're such a loser!"
After scolding him, Bulma turned and walked back inside.
"You...!"
Vegeta was furious.
If anyone else had spoken to him that way, he would have crippled them on the spot.
But this woman was Tights' younger sister.
She was also a favorite among Gran and the gods.
And her little brother-in-arms was Broly, that monster...
What the hell!
How could an ordinary Earth woman possess so many ridiculous identities?
"By the way, Kakarot, how did you save us earlier?"
Unable to take his anger out on Bulma, Vegeta turned to Goku.
"With Instant Transmission. After we left Namek..."
Goku began recounting everything that had happened after the Namek Saga.
The more Vegeta listened, the uglier his expression became.
He had missed both the Grand Elder's potential unlock and Goku's Instant Transmission.
Damn it all!
Standing nearby, Raditz and Nappa were equally envious of the opportunities Goku and the others had received.
If they hadn't left with Vegeta back then, they could have enjoyed those benefits as well.
Regret flooded their hearts.
Meanwhile...
Back on the planet where Broly and the others remained.
The land was covered in smoke and destruction, evidence of the fierce battle that had taken place.
"Where did he go?"
Paragus climbed to his feet and looked around frantically.
Earlier, just as Broly was about to kill Vegeta's group, a Super Saiyan had suddenly appeared and rescued them.
That same Super Saiyan had then returned and exchanged a few blows with Broly.
Naturally, he was no match for Broly.
Yet just as Broly was about to kill him, he vanished again without a trace.
"Father, he was using Instant Transmission. That's how he could appear and disappear just like Big Brother Gran."
Broly had already returned to his normal state and walked over.
"What?!"
Paragus was astonished.
He never imagined that a mortal could learn a technique used by divine beings like Gran.
Little did he know that Instant Transmission was never exclusive to gods.
Both Gran and Son Goku had learned it on Planet Yardrat.
"Broly, when you fought that other Super Saiyan, it seemed like you knew him. Who was he?"
Paragus asked.
"His name is Kakarot."
Looking toward the battlefield where the fight had taken place, Broly smiled.
"Big Brother Gran once told me that Kakarot's father was Bardock.
You should know him."
