(A/N: I was really looking forward to writing this chapter, and I certainly had fun with it. Broly is one of my favorite villains, and, from the votes, the most requested. So enjoy watching Trunks and 18 getting beat down. Oops, spoiler alert.)

Chapter 19: Facing the Legend
The psychotic saiyan looked down at Trunks and 18 with an insane grin on his face. He didn't know who they were, and, quite frankly, he didn't care. He couldn't sense anything from the woman, but the boy held great power. Perhaps he would prove to be entertaining for a while. He had time for some fun before he searched for Kakarot.
He briefly wondered where he was. The last thing he remembered was fighting Kakarot and some other weaklings on the planet his father called New Vegeta with Comet Camori seconds away from crashing into it and killing them all. Kakarot had momentarily stunned him with a powerful attack just before he and the others disappeared.
Broly wasn't sure how he did it, but he had somehow locked onto Kakarot's energy signature and followed it here. After he landed, he was still weak from Kakarot's attack, leaving him in a dazed state. Then he had been covered by ice and fallen asleep.
He didn't remember much after that point. The next thing he did remember was waking up after some large spaceship of some kind freed him from his icy prison. Shortly after that, the strange spaceship, that seemed to be covering the entire planet, just drifted away and exploded.
Broly hadn't given any of it a second thought. He had one thing on his mind. Revenge. He was going to make Kakarot pay for what he had done to him. Actually, he now had to pay him back twice as much, for hurting him back on New Vegeta, and for the reason he couldn't remember for wanting Kakarot dead to begin with.
Seeking out the strongest power source, he had been led here. The power he sensed was coming from a boy who also appeared to be a Super Saiyan. But that silver alien in the sky had been about to blow them all up, and Broly couldn't let that happen, not before he had his fun.
So, after quickly disposing of the metal alien, he now hovered in the air above another Super Saiyan and a woman whose power he couldn't sense at all.
18 wiped a strand of hair out of her face. "What's with this guy? You said his name is Broly? Who is he, Trunks?"
Trunks glared at the living legend. "He's a naturally born Super Saiyan, the first in over a thousand years. But Goku defeated him years ago. He should be dead right now."
But Broly was very much alive. Trunks didn't know how. He remembered going to the past and facing Broly back then. At the time, Goku hadn't been strong enough to beat the psychotic saiyan. Only after Goku had absorbed all the energy from Gohan, Trunks, Piccolo, and Vegeta was he able to win.
'Is that the reason?' Trunks wondered. 'In this time period, I wasn't involved in the fight with Broly. Since I wasn't able to supply Goku with power, Broly must have been able to survive Goku's attack.'
And now he was here on Earth. Great, that was the last thing he needed. And just how in the hell was he supposed to win? Broly was even stronger than Cell in his perfect form. He wasn't stronger than Luud, but that monster had had a critical weak spot that brought forth his destruction. Broly had no such weak spot.
"Kakarot!" Broly demanded. "Where is Kakarot?"
18 glanced at Trunks. "Kakarot. Wasn't that Goku's saiyan name?"
Trunks nodded. "For some reason, this guy is obsessed with Goku. That seems to be a habit among bad guys."
18 crossed her arms. "And Goku seems to have a habit of not finishing his battles. First Frieza, then Cooler, now this guy. And didn't Garlic Jr. make a comeback as well?"
"Now's not the time." Trunks grumbled. "We have a serious situation here. I've gone up against Broly before. He's stronger than you can imagine. He took out Cooler like he was nothing."
A look of worry crossed her face. "But� you're the strongest person in the universe. Aren't you?"
A bead of sweat ran down Trunks' cheek. "Not in this case. I hate to admit it, but Broly's strength surpasses my own."
"Can't be!" 18 cried. "You're an Ascended Saiyan. You've got to have more power than an ordinary Super Saiyan."
"That's just it. Broly's not an ordinary Super Saiyan. Father said that when he was born, he had a power level of 10,000, while the average saiyan infant is born with a power level of two or three."
18's eyes widened in disbelief. "Did you say 10,000? How's that possible?"
Though Trunks had taught her how to sense a person's energy level, she wasn't ever able to put a number on what she sensed. She knew that the average power of a full-grown man was at about five or six, so 10,000 as a newborn was astonishing. That may be nothing compared to her and Trunks right now, but Broly had undoubtedly become much stronger from when he was an infant.
"Kakarot!" Broly shouted impatiently. "I want Kakarot!"
"Then you better drop dead," Trunks told him, "because he's dead. If you want to fight him, go kill yourself." Maybe the psychotic saiyan would actually do it; his sanity wasn't exactly intact.
A shocked look appeared on Broly's face upon hearing of his obsession's death. "K-Kakarot�" he murmured. "No� Kakarot� He was mine� Mine to kill. Mine!" His power flared up around him, causing the ground to tremble beneath him. "KAKAROT!"
His cry echoed throughout the land as his power soared to new heights. 18 gasped upon feeling his massive energy increase. She now understood why Trunks was so nervous.
As for Trunks, he seemed to realize that this was his chance to attack. With some quick hand movements, he unleashed his signature move on the legendary Super Saiyan. The attack was a direct hit, but Broly seemed to be completely unfazed by it as he continued shouting out his fury.
"That didn't work." Trunks mumbled. "Ok then, plan B."
He flew up towards Broly and kicked the saiyan in the face. Broly's head snapped to the side, but in his fit of rage, he didn't even seem to notice the blow as his screams grew louder.
Trunks swore and flew back several feet. He sped towards him, slamming his fist in Broly's face. The legendary saiyan went flying, still screaming all the while, and crashed into a building, bringing the entire thing collapsing on top of him.
"Nice shot." 18 commented.
It was far from over though. Broly's cries could still be heard from beneath the pile of rubble the building had been reduced to. Trunks took aim and fired a blast of energy at the pile, disintegrating nearly all the debris. Broly was found lying on his back, his screams getting louder. Slowly he began to rise into the air, straightening out until he was upright again.
"Will someone shut him up!" 18 cried. "He's giving me a headache."
The legendary saiyan seemed to hear her somehow, because he finally stopped screaming and turned to her. "You want a headache? I'll give you a headache."
And then he was suddenly in front of her, backhanding her aggressively. 18 went flying through the air, but before she got too far, Broly appeared above her, bringing his fist crashing down into her gut. As 18 hit the ground, Broly raised his hand, a gathering of green energy forming in his palm.
"This will give you a headache!" he told her.
He threw the ball of energy down at her. Trunks suddenly appeared over her and kicked the energy blast away from her. Then he looked up at Broly, hoping against hope that he could stop this, even though he knew it was futile.
"Broly, stop this!" he cried. "I know your father was controlling you before, but you don't have to destroy anymore! And Goku is dead, so you're revenge is complete! Just go and leave us in peace!"
The legendary saiyan roared with laughter. "Peace? You expect me, the legendary Super Saiyan, to live a life of peace? You stupid boy! A life of peace is no life for a saiyan, let alone me! And my idiot father never controlled me! You think it was him that made me destroy the south galaxy? That was my doing! My father tried to stop me from being so destructive!"
Trunks swore. He knew that his chances of convincing Broly to take on a life of peace was nonexistent, but he needed to try. But it looked like he was going to have to fight after all.
"Then it looks like I'll have to do what he couldn't."
He flew at Broly, throwing a punch, but Broly's fist shot out, slamming into Trunks. Grunting in pain, Trunks tried again, only to have his arm caught in Broly's large hand. The legendary saiyan grinned and held up his hand. There was a gathering of green energy before Broly unleashed it against Trunks.
18 opened her eyes just in time to see Trunks go flying past her line of vision. She quickly sat up, seeing Broly floating in the air, his hand still raised from blasting Trunks. She growled angrily before flying at him and throwing a punch. Broly easily ducked underneath it, and then sidestepped her kick, but she managed to unleash a blast of energy in his face.
Broly blinked, unharmed, but surprised that she had actually managed to hit him. He glared at her before seizing her hair. 18 squealed in pain as Broly pulled her towards him. He forced her head down, slamming it against his knee before placing his hand on her back and blasting her.
18 hit the ground hard and rolled onto her back. She gasped in surprise as she saw Broly speeding down towards her. She quickly rolled to the side and jumped away before Broly's foot shattered the ground where she had been laying.
Before she was out of range, Broly's hand shot out, grabbing her foot. "Going somewhere?"
Growling in frustration, 18 whirled around and began firing blasts of energy at him. Broly just laughed of as the attacks bounced right off him. That's when Trunks rejoined the fight, kicking Broly in the back of the head. The legendary saiyan's head snapped forward from the blow, but he immediately recovered and spun around, using 18 to hit Trunks. The two hit the ground, with 18 on top of Trunks. Before they could react, Broly blasted them.
The moment the smoke cleared, they looked up to see Broly charging at them. He grabbed their heads as he ran past them and began dragging them along the ground, tearing up the street, laughing all the while, before smashing them into a building.
Flying away from them, the legendary saiyan raised his arms and gathered an enormous amount of energy. When 18 and Trunks opened their eyes, it was to find Broly holding a giant ball of green energy.
"Geez�" 18 muttered. "Give us a moment to catch our breath."
"Catch this instead!" Broly roared, and threw the ball of energy.
Trunks and 18 glanced at each other, silently agreeing that if the blast hit, it would cause major damage to the city. Bracing themselves, they held out their hands to catch the massive energy ball.
The attack was powerful. Even with both Trunks and 18 working together, they couldn't hold it back. The ground cracked beneath their feet, pushing them down and slowly burying them.
"It's too much!" 18 cried. "We can't stop it!"
"We have to try!" Trunks told her.
Broly laughed. "Try this!"
He fired another blast of energy, right into the large ball that the other two were trying to hold back. Buildings were obliterated by a massive explosion engulfing the area. A large crater now resided in the middle of the city with Trunks and 18 lying in it. Broly hovered over them, laughing at the destruction he caused like the maniac he was.
Groaning, 18 forced herself to sit up. "He's a monster." She said, looking up at the legendary saiyan. "I'd much rather have taken my chances with Cooler instead of facing this guy. Can he even be beaten?"
Mumbling as he pulled his face out of the ground, Trunks also looked up at their powerful foe. "Everyone can be beaten. But not like this. We may have stood a chance if we hadn't been worn out from our fight with Cooler." They took to the air as Broly fired a blast of energy at them. "We're too drained to keep up with him." He glanced at 18. "Our only chance is to get our hands on some Senzu beans. 18, you're going to have to go to Korin Tower and get some. I'll hold him off for as long as I can."
She gave him a surprised look. "Are you crazy? You won't be able to fend him off for long."
"Then you better hurry." He told her. "I've already been wished back with the Dragon Balls, so if I die this time, I stay dead." Actually, he wasn't entirely sure about that since it was in an alternate timeline that he was revived.
"No way! I'll stay and fight! I can still be wished back, and my energy supply won't run out. You go get the stupid beans."
Broly flew at them. They went in different directions and the legendary saiyan flew past them. They fired energy blasts at him, catching him in the back and sending him crashing into another building.
"You're energy may not run out," Trunks told her, "but you're still wounded."
"Well, so are you." she argued back.
A wave of energy flared out from the destroyed building Broly had crashed into, sending debris flying and revealing the legendary saiyan once again shouting his war cry to the sky.
"The fact of the matter is that I'm stronger than you, 18. I'll be able to last longer." Broly took to the air again and floated several feet in front of them, his green aura surging around him. "Go now, while you still can."
18 swore and quickly took off. Broly's attention shifted to her and his psychotic grin reappeared on his face. "No one leaves."
Cupping his hands together, he focused his gathered energy into a powerful beam. Trunks moved quickly, flying towards the legendary saiyan and kicking him right in the face just as Broly fired.
The legendary saiyan merely grunted, but the energy beam he fired went off course, missing 18. Angry that his prey had gotten away, Broly glared at Trunks. "You made me miss."
"She's no concern of yours." Trunks told him. "You're fight is with me."
Broly seemed to consider him for a moment before grinning. "Fight? This isn't a fight. This is an execution."
(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)
It was about thirty seconds later that 18 realized that she had no idea where Korin lived. She knew of the cat and his tower, but she didn't know where he was.
Swearing angrily, she doubled back, avoiding the place Trunks and Broly were fighting as she headed for hopefully still intact Capsule Corp. She was relieved to see it still in one piece, and she was even happier to sense that the turtle hermit was still there somewhere.
'The old coot had better still remember how to get to Korin's place.'
She came in for a landing, frightening Puar and Oolong with her sudden appearance.
"Look out!" Oolong cried, momentarily forgetting that she was on their side. "Android attack!"
She threw him a dirty look. "Very funny, pig. Where's the old man?"
"I'm over here." Roshi replied. "What's going on? What's that incredible power I feel?"
"Some saiyan freak called Broly is here."
Out of all the things she could have said, this was the last thing he expected. "Say what? Broly's back?"
18 nodded. "Trunks is fighting him now, but he's running out of power. We need some Senzu beans. You have to take me to Korin Tower."
"What?" Roshi asked in surprise. "Korin's place? He lives just beneath Kami's Lookout. Just go there."
18 blinked. Korin Tower was beneath the Lookout? She wished she had known that sooner. "Fine, I'll head there. And you guys should get out of here. The city isn't safe with those two fighting." She looked around. "Where's Bulma?"
"She went to gather the Dragon Balls." Puar told her. "Whatever that thing was that covered the planet, she's hoping Shenron can bring back everyone that was killed by it and repair the damage done."
At least she was safely out of the way. But none of them would be safe if Broly wasn't defeated. "Ok, I'm heading for Korin's. The three of you, get as far away as you can. I'm going to go get those beans."
Without a moment to spare, she took off, praying that her detour wouldn't cost Trunks his life.
(A/N: Bulma is on the search for the Dragon Balls. She'll need them too in order to fix the damage the Big Gete Star caused to Earth, that is, unless Broly blows up the planet first. Trunks is trying to keep him busy until 18 can return with the Senzu beans. But even if she does manage to get the Senzu beans in time, the odds of them being able to beat Broly are still extremely slim. And just wait until next chapter. Things are going to get really bad. I can easily say this, no matter what condition Trunks and 18 are in, they are no match for the legendary saiyan.)
