Reminiscing (Open)

[Goku]

The force behind Broly's Super Explosive Wave sent Gohan reeling downwards towards the ground, the impact leaving a nice crater in the Earth. Struggling to his feet, Gohan just barely saw Goku pull Vegeta back and get clotheslined by Broly..who was now in his Legendary Super Saiyan state. "Oh no..." says Gohan as he quickly powers up and flies straight up into the air.

He barely heard Vegeta's request..well demand to stay out of the fight. "I'm not inexperienced Vegeta! I just haven't trained as often as you these days!" That being said, Gohan's attention was now on Broly. Can't let him destroy the Earth....hang on Dad..thought Gohan as his hands would be brought together and placed towards his left hip. It was time for a move Broly was very, very familiar with..and since it was his that had been initially responsible for the Legendary Super Saiyan's death, it was bound to divert his attention from Goku.

Sighing as he began to focus his power into his palms, Gohan's focus remained on Broly. Hopefully the Super Kamehameha would catch him off guard. KA.....ME.....HA.....ME.......chanted Gohan as a large glowing blue and white ball formed in his hands, growing in size as more power was charged into it. This was going to have to be a very powerful blast for it to even phase Broly. A few more seconds would pass, the ball in Gohan's hands threatening to burst, it's size had already moved his hand's original position quite a bit. It was impressive in size..not even Goku had attempted to do one this big.

It was now or never. Goku and Vegeta were in danger here. It was now or never. "HAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!"yelled Gohan as he fired off the massive Super Kamehameha down towards Broly, it's size larger than Goku's Super Saiyan 3 Kamehameha...and oh yes was Gohan feeling the after effects of attempting such a feat after not training for so long. His entire body ached with pain..but it had to be done.

[piccolo]

Piccolo had turned his head to sense Vegeta's powerlevel, only to almost be knocked back in surprise by the Saiyan who released a tremendous amount of energy in response. So Piccolo was right, each of the Saiyans here were masking their powerlevel. Again Piccolo was reminded that he'd have no chance in a fight against any of them, the fact grated his nerves a bit but due to Kami's presence in him, he calmed down.

"It has been a while hasn't it Goku and you too Gohan." Piccolo scoffed at Vegeta's words. The Namekian doubted that he'd surpassed Gohan at all, and even if he did then most likely he'd be outmatched as soon as the Saiyan went Super. Gohan may have not have been training recently but that hardly made him weak, although he had gotten a little soft after all this time without battle.

So the Kais expected something to go down, huh. They didn't really have to be so ambiguous about an incoming threat, but maybe they just barely sensed a powerlevel coming towards Earth. Again Piccolo scoffed at Vegeta's words. There wasn't much battle around sure, but only a fool would wish for something bad to happen. Especially considering that with each new enemy they faced, they were always twice or so stronger than the last.

Piccolo shielded his eyes from the incoming wind that seemed to erupt near Vegeta, that and the bright flash that soon followed. It was a moment later that Piccolo saw (and sensed) what was going on. So Vegeta was a Super Saiyan Three now; Piccolo was almost surprised. At least he would've been if he hadn't seen the transformation some two times before. It was the amount of power that Vegeta was letting off that worried the Namekian.

... Wait, that power surge wasn't just Vegeta. There was definitely a new and higher power in the area, and it was doing a pretty good job of obscuring itself with Vegeta's powerlevel, which made it hard to tell where it came from. "Can anyone else sense that?" Piccolo asked. That was when he heard it - the "KAKAROT" - and spun around, to see a large number of energy attacks come crashing his way.

"Look alive" was the only warning Piccolo could give before jumping into the air to avoid the attack. He watched the spheres dart over the ground and smash into the Earth with large explosions. The attack, to Piccolo, seemed like a sort of attention grabber, not really meant to do any real damage. Piccolo turned himself towards the point of origin of the attacks.

So it was Broly, heh. It had been a while since Piccolo had heard of him. Still the Legendary Super Saiyans power seemed to have doubled since the last time they had fought, which was some decade or so ago. It wasn't surprising to see someone to have grown stronger after a length of time like that. It was surprising however to learn that Broly was still alive, even though Piccolo was sure that he had heard of his demise.

All around him the Saiyans were transforming and already going at it. Piccolo would've chided Gohan on his charge, but there was really no time for that right now. It was almost unreal, each of the saiyans were so powerful, especially Broly. They were moving fast and blasts the seemed weak to them could've done some serious damage to the Namekian. "It'd be no good if I got involved, I'd just get in the way... I hope you guys can take care of this." With that Piccolo ascended high into the air to watch the battle at a distance.

As the Namekian watched he'd close his eyes and silently contact Goten and Trunks by telepathy. It was an ability he had learned after fusing with Kami. Piccolo knew that if the boys were here, they could fuse and pose a real threat to Broly. He hoped that wherever they were, that they'd hear his call for them. Things already weren't looking good for Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta below.

[goku]

Goku felt the immense amount of pain from the Ki Barrage end and he opened his eyes slowly. Luckily he was still in his Super Saiyan form, and Vegeta was taking care of Broly. He looked up, Piccolo still watching. Then he turned to see Gohan, launching a Super Kamehameha wave at Broly. But would it strike? He watched with awe as Gohan's move was incredible, much more powerful than even his move in a higher level of Super Saiyan. "Amazing....

However, Goku had no time to watch, for he looked at Broly, seeing if Gohan's move was in fact effective. Goku power ups and flew towards his now worn out son.

[Cell]

Broly floated down to Kakarot smirking. It had been awhile since he was able to inflict pain onto the Saiyan, and he couldn't wait to wring his hands around his throat. He walked forward and got hit by a beam. It was insignificant to him, he barely felt it! The beam had come from Vegeta, but he wasn't something that he was concerned about. The Saiyan Prince decided to taunt him, and Broly laughed. "Don't worry, once I'm done with Kakarot I will have fun fertilizing the Earth with your remains." Harsh words, but true. The son of the King who wanted him dead would be next on his list.

Familiar chanting passed his ears as he looked up towards Gohan who was charging a Kamehameha to be fired at him. When the huge blue beam was released he just simply stood there. Was he going to take the beam? Not exactly, but he had another plan in mind. "While I would love to paint the Earth with all your blood.. watching one of your own destroy it will make my day." He said. Since Broly was on the ground and Gohan was firing such a potent beam at him, there was no possible way the Earth would survive. Of course he would have to try to avoid the beam at some point, but he knew one of the heroes would try to deflect it from destroying their precious Earth.

[Vegeta]

Vegeta growled in anger that Broly was ignoring him, and felt a sense of dread at his words, memories of the utter beating he took before flashing before his eyes. It was many years ago however and Vegeta truly was a weakling in those days. But he had spent every day training, between major battles of course, since then to bridge all gaps and surpass everyone who had been stronger, everyone who ever defeated him in the past. And now he had ascended beyond his previous limitations and achieved a power that matched his greatest rivals, believing that this accomplishment put him truly in a league of his own above the others.

'This time it will be I who puts fear into Broly, it will be I that comes out victorious.' His power fluctuated wildly and continued to build, the golden aura that surrounded him swirled and danced faster and faster as it grew in size, gale force winds began to blow out in all directions. Vegeta was bringing his power to it's utmost peak without ascending beyond a normal Super Saiya-jin, and from what he could feel he was far surpassing Broly's highest level, recalling from the past that perhaps the Legendary Super Saiya-jin's only weaknesses is he cannot hold back his power.

Just as Vegeta reached his full peak Gohan started to channel all of his energy into an intensely powerful Kamehameha, his eyes going wide at the build up coming from the half Saiya-jin, shouting, "GOHAN! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!? HIS BODY IS BUILT TO TAKE ENERGY WAVES! BESIDES, YOU WON'T HIT HIM FROM THIS DISTANCE! I SAID NOT TO INTERFERE!" But it was too late and Gohan seemed to be in a world of his own. "Gohan you fool! You're putting too much into it. This is exactly what I was talking about. He'll just move out of the way and in your weakened state I doubt you could redirect it." Gohan foolishly unleashed the Kamehameha. Seeing no other option, the powered up Super Saiya-jin made a rapid dash right for Broly.

Now he was fully aware that Broly was expecting him, or someone at least, to charge in to stop the blast wave. But he wasn't sure if he was expecting someone to directly attack him. Whether he was or not didn't bother Vegeta at all, feeling utmost confidence in his abilities. Though he had felt some small increase in Broly's strength it seemed minimal at best, not enough to cause any concern at least. The distance between them closed in an instant and with all the strength he currently possessed he threw a hard punch at Broly's lower back, the power behind it enough to send even the Legendary Super Saiya-jin flying. And if the blow landed he would pursue and follow up with a series of rapid, powerful punches and kicks which would direct and guide his foe right into Gohan's incoming attack.

If however Broly managed to maneuver away from the attack or block it, Vegeta would jump back and rush in again to follow up with his Dirty Fireworks attack, which would first stun his foe momentarily and send him flying before exploding at his command. There was no holding back against Broly, a lesson Vegeta had beaten into him on their last encounter. Even if both attacks were ineffective it should distract the towering monster long enough for Gohan's attack to land without destroying the Earth. It seemed to all be a long shot and if he failed it would be up to someone else to stop Gohan's foolish and rash attack.

[goku]

Though Goku was impressed with Gohan's atttack, Goku realized that even if the attack would work, Goku should transform just in case. Quickly, he transformed into SSJ3 form. That's when Broly spoke his words. 'If that is true, then Gohan will...noo...' Quickly, Goku reacted with excellent timing, using his Instant Transmission move. Usually if this happened near some low life like Broly, he'd take the cheap shot at Goku, ruining his plan. However, Vegeta would distract him long enough for Goku to deflect the move just in time, saving the earth once more for now. However, the deflect came with a price of some damage to him. And by damage, it meant a lot of pain. Still, Goku shrugged off this pain, though he'll feel it later.

He now Instant Transmissioned to Vegeta's location after his little barrage, whther it worked and he was okay, or even if he was damaged and on the ground. "Vegeta...You know what we need to do....Our powers alone can't stop a monster like Broly..but..together...." Of course, he was refering to them fusing into SSJ3 Gogeta.

[Goku]

Gohan's eyes widened as Broly dodged the Kamehameha, the Legendary Super Saiyan's words reaching his ears, even from his position, as well as Vegeta's which caused a wave of guilt to crash upon the warrior. Vegeta was right...he knew better than this, and Piccolo....well Piccolo had to be disappointed in him. Sweat ran down his brow as he struggled to cancel out the Kamehameha, but he had over charged it. Earth was doomed...and he had doomed it all for the sake of taking out Broly.

However, just as he was about to lose all hope, his Kamehameha had rebounded straight into the sky, having been deflected by...."Dad!" exclaims Gohan happily, albeit slightly exhausted. Nodding in acknowledgement to Goten as Goku's hushed words to Vegeta reach his son's ears, Gohan knew what he was going to have to do...and well, a slight advantage to not trainign seriously, even in his Mystic form was about to take place.

"BROLY!!!" Gohan was truly -not- in the mood for Broly's games anymore. He had gone too far, especially with nearly making it where he himself had nearly destroyed Earth. "Several innocent people could have been hurt with your little stunt..." growled Gohan as his gaze became fierce, his own power level starting to spike like it used to when he was younger. A spark of pure energy flew from Gohan's wrist as he walked closer and closer to Broly, that spark destroying several nearby rocks, turning them into dust upon impact.

Yes, Gohan's power was starting to be where it truly should be as his emotions ran amok deep within. Everyone could have been hurt, Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo..Goten, the Earth itself could've been lost. A powerful aura now surrounded the warrior's body, swirling about uncontrollably. It was as if Elder Kai had unlocked his potential yet a second time. The very planet itself started to shake as Gohan's potential came out in full, turning mountains into nothing but rubble as craters formed where boulders once stood. "I...I won't...FORGIVE YOU!!!" yelled Gohan as his eyes became white and pupil less before he flew full force towards Broly, and right past Vegeta, who would surely be fully aware of what had just happened within the Half Saiyan

Following suit after Vegeta's attack, Gohan was already right next to Broly, hands clasped together and raised high above his head, where if his timing was correct, he would slam his combined hands down upon Broly's hands to send him skyrocketing towards Earth, however, Broly would not be going to Earth if Gohan's attack was successsful. Oh no...Broly was going to feel the full wrath of Gohan for his little stunt. If Broly hadn't recovered, Gohan would then dash down towards the plummeting Broly yet again, and take ahold of the Legendary Super Saiyan's foot, and throw him back up into the air where Gohan would vanish and reappear behind Broly, where he would follow up with a nice elbow jab into Broly's spine to send him hurtling towards Earth yet again. Finally, if all was successful, Gohan would form an X with his hands, forming a powerful glowing ball of energy in his hands, unleashing a supercharged Masenko towards the hopefully plummeting Super Saiyan

[ftrunks]

Trunks' eyes snapped wide as he sensed the rising power levels coming from, no, it couldn't be there. He took off immediately in the direction of the massive ki signatures he could sense, but as he grew closer and closer he began to realise that it must be what was left of the Cell Games arena. As he neared them though he recognised the particular powers he could feel, it made him pause as he had not felt those powers in a very long time. All of them had become noticeably stronger though two stood out to him. Dad... and that's Broly! I thought he was dead! What kind of monster is he!? A deep fear fell over him as he recognised the oppressive ki of the Legendary Super Saiyan, he closed his eyes tight as his hands balled up into tight fists. His knuckles turned whit as he focussed on the battle as it unfolded. Why!? Why is he still alive and why is he here!?

He burst into flight again and arrived just in time to witness Gohan's Kamehamha, for a second he was taken aback by how much this Gohan actually looked like his Gohan, but he shook off his initial shock quickly as he could. He needed to be well on his guard, they all did if they wanted to last more than ten seconds against Broly, his power was that overwhelming and only seemed to have grown. He glanced up to see Piccolo floating high above, apparently electing to stay out of the fight as it proceeded, which seemed out of sorts for the Namekian. Looking down he saw his father already closing in on Broly and knew damn well what would happen to him if he even attempted to get in the way.

A small smile crossed his face as he flew up towards Piccolo, still watching the scene beneath them unfold, his smile faded as it dawned on him just what they'd gotten into yet again. Broly was no joke even in his base form, in his Legendary form he'd proved almost unstoppable to the Super Saiyans and Piccolo. That was in the past though, they were all different, all stronger and Trunks wasn't about to be flung around quite so easily this time around. By the time he reached Piccolo his face was set in a serious scowl not unlike that usually sported by Vegeta. 'Piccolo, what in the world is going on? I thought we'd killed Broly, what is he doing here on Earth!?'

[Maiyah]

Maiyah was on a job. A job that wasn't paying very well, and she was aggravated about her directions. An abandoned grassy area that once served as an arena from long ago. She wasn't very old whenever these games happened, and she didn't understand just how important they were. Either way, something was there and she had to find it. "Perhaps underneath the stage," the guy had said, spouting on some bull about a temple stationed underneath. Yeah, right. Whatever. Maiyah had never heard of such a thing in that particular region, but she couldn't turn down a client when she had bills to pay. She at least was paid half of what she was being offered before she went out on her wild goose chase. From the country she rode on her trusty bike, gun holstered to her hip and eyes shielded by a pair of goggles which, in all honesty, looked more like sunglasses, but fit over her face with a tight seal to protect her face from blasts of wind.

It was already tough to breathe, and Maiyah's head dipped in frustration when she heard distant explosions on her way to the site. She figured it was some group of stupid teenagers blowing things up. She would have to have them leave without shooting at them once she got there. However, she stopped herself short when she saw what was actually going on. Seven guys jumping around, all with strange hair, shooting light beams at each other, and yelling. Lots of yelling. Maiyah wasn't quite at the site yet, but she was close enough to see the stage and its pillars, as well as the battle scars all around the area to show that there indeed was a great battle prior to this one. She killed the rather loud engine of her bike and ducked behind a rock, watching them with paled shock. One, people didn't fly, goddamnit, and two, people didn't fly and shoot random light beams at one another.

This was obviously some kind of trap. She got out her gun and peeked out from behind the rubble, her heart skipping a couple beats and forcing her to pound her fist against her chest in order to keep her blood flowing. Her eyes wandered from the squabble to the arena itself. She snarled to herself, "There's nothing here. That bastard lied to me..." The further explosions of attacks and the yelling that either foreshadowed or followed startled her, forcing her to duck down and huddle against the grass, "Christ!"

[Cell]

Broly laughed as the Kamehameha started to approach the Earth. He could feel his power rising once more. As being in the Legendary state it allowed his power to rise freely at a set interval for as long as he wanted. The only thing that he had to do was release his Ki so he didn't overload on power. Regardless he was a near flawless being while in his Legendary state, at least he believed so. Compared to him, they were all insignificant in their current forms, even Kakarots son. Suddenly Kakarot had appeared in front of him with longer flowing hair, Broly was not amused. He watched as the Kamehameha was deflected by Kakarot and that made him clench his fists. He was safe, yet he wanted to see the Earth's destruction.

Although it wasn't a total loss since he had the chance to torture the rest of them now. Broly started to jump forward toward Kakarot, but before he could he noticed Gohan and Vegeta coming toward him out of the corner of his eye. Judging by the way they were acting they were angry with what he had done, and Broly laughed. "Sad? Don't worry, I'll put your mind at rest along with your whole entire body!" He then effortlessly dodged every blow that was tossed toward him. Had they forgotten their last few fights with him? They had forgotten that he had grown stronger as well! Just keeping his hatred down in Hell for all that time made his lust for revenge even more deadly.

Quickly Broly had taken to the sky and raised his hands above him as his Barrier then formed. As it formed over him it started to glow and started to break apart. When he did it released a whole bunch of powerful energy spheres that would be thrown across the whole entire area, each as powerful as the last. This was his Blaster Meteor attack. His goal? Cause as much collateral damage as possible.

[Vegeta]

Vegeta was infuriated beyond any point he had ever been in the past. Everyone seemed to be jumping in and interfering with his fight. It was his fight, so he had declared several times. 'What the hell is wrong with everyone?! Why isn't anyone listening, this is my fight damn it!' More with his senses than his vision did he see those around powering up to 'help' launch an attack against Broly. Even though everyone was interfering with what he wanted to declare his ascension to becoming the strongest, he still made his charge at Broly.

He watched Goku change to Super Saiya-jin 3 and deflect Gohan's attack away from the Earth. His plan was foiled it seemed. Future Trunks had also arrived on the scene he sensed, but he couldn't begin to wonder why his son had returned when there was a battle to concentrate on. Goku's son Goten arrived on the scene as well. 'A lot of help Kakarot's other son will be. More idiots to get in my way! They're coming out of the woodwork.' When he heard Goku's proposal he pulled back his lips and clenched his jaw tightly. The thought of sharing his body with Goku again only further pushed his fury. Mostly from the fact that it he knew it might come to that. "FUSE!? WITH YOU KAKAROT!?? I said our fight with Janemba would be the last time and I meant it! I can beat him on my own if only everyone would just let me!"

His every attack was dodged, as was every other meddler, Broly seemed to have grown stronger than Vegeta thought. 'I didn't think he'd improve this much. How can it be that I can't even lay a finger on him?' It was obvious to Vegeta then that there could be no holding back, that he would have to go all out because Broly would suffer from nothing less. His speed in normal Super Saiya-jin was just not enough, and even though Goten trains nowhere near the level Vegeta does it was also obvious that Super Saiya-jin 2 would be no good either. "All or nothing it seems." he said aloud as Broly took the the sky, giving him time to undergo his transformation.

There was a strong wind suddenly coming from Vegeta and the Earth herself quaked beneath them as he once again began powering up, hands clenched into tightly balled fists. Through his golden aura streaks of electricity began to dance wildly around him. His muscles began to shift and grow, increasing his mass somewhat, and his golden hair began to extend further out of his head the weight of which pulled it all down to the small of his back. His eyebrows vanished and his forehead became more prominent. The winds died down and the planet stopped shaking as he completed his transformation. Sensing Broly was about to strike, he took off like a shot toward the menacing monster, a golden trail left by his aura following him. He stopped several meters below and made sure he was in between Broly and the Z warriors.

Crossing his arms over his chest he put both fists at opposite shoulders and began to channel his energy, using his senses to tell when the right moment to launch his counter attack would be. The moment came, Broly unleashed his powerful attack, and Vegeta threw his arms out to his sides, palms flat, fingers pointing up. With a mighty yell a massive golden barrier of energy expanded from Vegeta growing several meters in diameter. It was HIS super explosive wave. Most of Broly's attack impacted on the barrier of energy and discharged in a powerful explosion that would have seriously hurt if it had hit someone. Once the attack had passed the barrier around Vegeta vanished and his arms rested at his sides.

"Kakarot, it is obvious now that the others don't have any chance against him. Their interference from this point would only cause us all harm. He has increased dramatically in power since he was killed. There is no need to fuse, he is not stronger than you or I. But why don't we show him what two Super Saiya-jin 3's can do?!" With that said he rushed right at Broly again moving with all the speed his transformation could give. Not waiting for Goku he launched a relentlessly furious barrage of heavy punches and kicks at his opponent.

His movements would be virtually a complete blur to everyone but Goku as his power had grown that far beyond theirs, or so he believed. Surely Broly could not dodge him or Goku in this state, could he? It was also his belief that the same was true for Broly. It was true that his power had increased exponentially, but there was no way even the Legendary Super Saiya-jin could close the gap between his level and Vegeta's or Goku's for that matter, was there?

[xicor]

Frieza was in his Final Form, he was in a cave, sleeping. Frieza had stopped training just 2 minutes ago. He felt many power levels in the area. He woke up for about 5 minutes, he saw a big blue beam, and went back to sleep.

"Those monkeys are always doing this kind of thing..." Frieza then looked outside. "Well maybe I should kill one of them off the bat!" He then charged to 100%, knowing that they would probably think it was one of them.

Frieza then did the Crazy Finger Beams, hoping to hit them all each 10 times. He then jumped out, and did the Homing Destructo Disk, hoping to hit Goku from behind.

"I want my revenge on you filthy monkeys!" Frieza then flash stepped towards Goten, and axe handled him in the ground. He then stomped on top of Goten's back. "Die you filthy saiyan!"

[goku]

Goku was breathing heavily at first, but gained his composure. His golden aura was still in full strenght, but he knew it was only a matter of time before he's lose his SSJ3 form. He listened to Vegeta's response to his offer, and shook his head. He was thinking with his pride, not his mind again. Then he noticed Broly's energy blast towards the Earth. "Vegeta!! Look out!!" But before the blast could even fire, Vegeta went all out into his SSJ3 form. Goku was amazed. He sensed the power level raising quickly, and he still knew for sure Vegeta was surpressing energy.

When the blast came, Vegeta knocked it out like it was nothing. As Vegeta spoke, Goku nodded. "Alright, Vegeta. Let's teach Broly here a thing or two about what Earth can do!" He Instant Transmissioned towards Vegeta, where he was already barraging Broly with a flurry of punches and kicks, adding on Goku's own flurry of punches and kicks. The speed was mind blowing. Still, Goku was worried. Something wasn't right. Broly wasn't one to toy like this if his full power was out yet. Which meant even he could beat a SSJ3...but what about two?

Before Goku could think on it more, Goku sensed the prescene of a flowing energy, like a buzzsaw, which only formed by Krillin and another. But Krillin wasn't here. Neither could the other person, but then again, Broly was here and he heard Gohan and Goten's took care of him with the sun. That meant.... "Vegeta!!! Stop! Dodge! Instant Transmission!" Goku grabbed onto Broly's shoulders and flipped over his body so he waswa behind him, or at least until Broly turned around. Then he looked behind him, where he saw the glimpse of the Purple disk slicing towards him and now Broly. Frieza. He has returned. "Vegeta! Look! Freiza's around here some where! Goku flew back a few dozen feet, in case the Homing Destructo Disk would still be after him instead of Broly now.
