138Deep within Otherworld, the plane of existence where all celestial beings and the dead dwell, lies the home of the Supreme Kai. At the very center of the universe, events that transpired here would have an impact on its surroundings for thousands of years to come. Most notable was when Majin Buu massacred the Kai's several million years ago, the resulting backlash was a widespread wave of terror and death across the universe, which lasted for millions of years as tyrants such as the Cold family rampaged across the cosmos. The star sized planet had only two denizens, the Eastern Supreme Kai who inherited the position of Grand Supreme Kai in title only due to being the last survivor of Buu's rampage, and his assistant Kibito, who as part of the universes way of restoring order, was in the process of turning into a Supreme Kai.
As the events on Earth unfolded and Broly unleashed his attack on the children of Goku, that was when the Supreme Kai's attention was first attracted to the small blue world. But it was when the child Goten died that his intrigue turned to fear, for that was when he lost all connection to the planet in a haze of negative energy. While some bits of what was happening leaked through, such as Gohans subsequent rage induced power-up, he for the most part remained blind to the events occurring. But while the energy interference was worrisome it was the recognition of its signature that truly sent fear down the diminutive deity's spine. The son of the Majin sorcerer Bibidi had revealed himself!
Turning to Kibito, Shin said, "Babidi is heading towards Earth, we must act soon to prevent Majin Buu's release. And it seems he has made preparations to obtain the catalyst energy he needs."
"Agreed, stopping Majin Buus resurrection must be our top priority. We cannot afford to fail in this regard."
As the gods of the universe conversed and planned their course of action, the planet Earth faced the explosive fight of two angry godlike saiyans.
As Gohan finished powering up his raging aura diminished while the electrical activity picked up, it even struck out and obliterated the surrounding rock face. Each strike of bioelectricity was enough to kill a man with a power level similar to what Raditz had. Turning to where Trunks lay, Gohan phased over to him and scooped him up. At this point Gohans power had increased so high he had to be careful not to snap his bones as he touched him. Seeing that he was comatose, Gohan slowly trickled energy into his body and once it had permeated through into his muscles he flared the energy through the nerve endings forcing the muscles to contract and waking Trunks up rather painfully. But at this point Gohan couldn't care less; all he wanted was to feel Broly's blood dripping down his arms as he crushed the monsters heart in his hand.
As Trunks was jolted awake, he instinctively struck out at the man holding him. As his fist struck Gohan's chest, a loud crack was heard as the bones in his hand shattered. As he screamed out in pain, Gohan flared his aura and directed the electricity to strike him in the face. The pain sobering him, Trunks stopped screaming and then looked at the person who had forcefully awoken him.
"Gohan?" he inquired. "What happened? Where is Goten, and why are you so powerful?
As Gohan received the barrage of questions, he sent another jolt of lightning into his body to stop the incessant flow of words from Trunk's mouth.
When the jolt ran through Trunk's body he instantly closed his mouth and Gohan quickly used that opportunity to use the residue energy he still had coursing through Trunk's body to lock the muscles in Trunk's jaw. As Trunk's eyes widened from the lack of control he had over his body, Gohan forced his body to float up to his eye level.
"Trunks, since you didn't listen to me earlier I want you to listen to me now. Goten was killed by Broly, and I don't want you or Videl to get caught in this battle. What I want you to do is to first go to the Lookout and get yourself and Videl healed then tell Piccolo about what's happened here. Then go home and get your father, if I know him correctly he has been training so he wouldn't have been able to sense Broly's arrival and our fight. Then no matter what happens here I want you to stay home do you got me?" Gohan intoned sternly.
As Trunks nodded, Gohan relinquished control of his body back to its owner. Trunks then phased over to Videl who still lied in the fetal position from her encounter with Broly, clutching her ruined clothing tightly to her chest to try and cover herself. As Trunks reached out to touch her, she quickly shied away from him, a look of unseeing terror in her eyes. Seeing the problem that Videl had with coping from the horror that Broly had inflicted on her only made his rage burn brighter within him, making his ki shoot up even higher, though not the magnitude it had earlier. Walking over to where the prone female crime fighter lay, Gohan knelt beside her and gently, ever so gently, maneuvered her face into his view. Her unfocused eyes widened in fear at his touch and she tried to resist his administrations, but she might've had better luck trying to empty the sea with a strainer. As they made eye contact, deep teal eyes to crystal blue ones, something sparked in Videls eyes. As she finally came back to reality the first thing she noted was the overwhelming pressure that Gohans presence had, it felt like when air was saturated with moisture but only exponentially more oppressive.
Seeing that Videl had returned from her shell Gohan spoke in a soft tone, almost a whisper, "Videl, I need you to go with Trunks to see a friend of mine, he will make everything better. I'm going to take care of Broly now so there is nothing to be afraid of, he won't bother you anymore."
While Gohan spoke, he took off his ruined gi top and placed it over Videl's exposed torso. As it made contact with her skin she immediately grasped it and drew it more securely over her body. Turning her head towards Gohan, she extended her hand out to his face, but as she did the closer she got, the harder it was to reach him.
Noticing her trouble, Gohan tried to subdue his raging aura as much as possible, allowing her to finally make contact. As she cupped his cheek, she leaned in close and did something very unlike the brash and cocky crime fighter. She kissed him. While not exactly as passionate as either would have liked for their first kiss, it seemed to relay all of her pain and fear to Gohan.
"Make sure you just come back in one piece." She whispered as she withdrew from him.
Standing up, she gathered herself and her remaining ragged clothing and staggered over towards Trunks, the ripped dress dragging across her feet. When she was ready to depart, Trunks positioned himself in front of her so that she could wrap her arms around his neck so she could be carried while still preserving some semblance of modesty. When Videl had been properly positioned, Trunks transformed into Super Saiyan as reserved and controlled as possible to make sure that Videl would not be injured or her clothing being disturbed.
Before Trunks had taken off, he looked over at Gohan and said, "Make sure that freak burns in hell Gohan" with steel in his voice.
As Gohan nodded he gave one more task for Trunks to do, "When you get to the Lookout I want you to have Dende contact all the others and have them meet at the Lookout. And fly as fast as you can, things here are going to get bad fast."
Right when Gohan finished speaking to Trunks, an explosion of raw ki bombarded their senses as Broly resurfaced from where he had laid, temporarily blacked out from Gohan's attack.
"Go now!" Gohan yelled out at Trunks as Broly rocketed towards them, fury radiating in his ki signature at the one who had hurt him so extensively.
Trunks ascended into the air and using his ki, blasted off towards the lookout where he should arrive within several minutes. However before he could travel five miles he was hit by a huge shockwave that was traveling several times faster than him. The shockwave radiated out from Gohan as now that Trunks and Videl were a safe distance away he could power up to his full power.
Before Broly had even gotten half way to his location Gohan had launched himself towards him, his aura blazing with an electrical storm radiating out with such intensity that it nearly blocked out the golden color that was the Super Saiyans trademark. In less than a second Gohan had traveled over three thousand miles and smashed head first into Broly's stomach, instantly bringing a halt to Broly's charge as his body folded over Gohan's head and forcing a pint of blood out of Broly's mouth. Before Broly could recover Gohan then spun like a top causing Broly to spin with him, Gohan then sent a concussive wave of ki forward sending him backwards while propelling Broly in the opposite direction. While Broly was sent flying away, still spinning, Gohan brought his hands forward and from each fingertip sent a thin bolt of ki screaming towards Broly, each blast ionizing the air it passed through creating a strong smell of ozone.
Before Broly had even regained control, a shining green sphere engulfed him, forming just in time to shield him from the thin laser-like beams of ki. As they impacted the protective shield, its shape went from a sphere to ovular, when the last blast impacted it shattered the hastily erected bubble and pierced Broly's left shoulder. The thin beam easily penetrated the giant saiyans skin and muscle tissue, and continued out the other side, cauterizing the wound before any blood could be spilt.
"Damn." Gohan whispered to himself as he saw the damage he inflicted. Drawing on more power, he quickly phased towards Broly who by this time had managed to stop and was assessing the damage with a look of sheer disbelief.
"My arm?" Broly started questionably at the wound "Look what you did to my arm!" Broly screamed.
Turning around back to Gohan, Broly charged ki to his right hand. But before it could form a definite shape, Gohan had reached him and brought his knee into the bottom of his chin, snapping his head up and dislodging a molar. Strike the ears, cause damage to ear drums. Charging ki to both of his hands, Gohan then clapped them together on Broly's head, each ki-enhanced palm smashing onto Broly's ears. The resulting explosion, deafened and severely disorienting Broly, who on instinct, brought his hands to each side of his head, cupping his ears and screamed in pain.
Hit the chest, aim for solar plexus, cause severe shortage of breath. The methodical way Gohan thought was a stark contrast to the way he normally fought; in the past he was reluctant to attack the vulnerable areas of the body. Now he was completely focusing on them and using each and every weakness to his advantage. Gohan quickly closed in on his body and unloaded a blazing barrage of strikes on Brolys chest. Several thousand punches were aimed at or near Broly's solar plexus, each strike creating a large sonic boom that radiated outward and decimated the surrounding landscape. Finishing his attack with a powerful uppercut which sent a fountain of blood bursting from Broly's mouth, Gohan then phased around above Broly. Grabbing onto the back of Broly's knee, Gohan charged energy into his free hand and extended it out, forming a tapered blade, reminiscent of the technique employed by Sauza, one of Cooler's Armored Squadron. With the blade constructed, Gohan brought it down in a slashing arc down across the back of Broly's knee, severing the tendons and muscles that allowed it to straighten and bend.
All those years of study were paying off on the battlefield; human anatomy was almost exactly the same to saiyan anatomy, other than the adaptations to fighting such as increased muscle and bone density and enhanced cellular regeneration, then they could almost be identical. The only skeletal difference was the prehensile tail that all saiyans and some hybrids possess, the glands contained within allowing the individual to transform into the trademark of the species, the oozaru. Gohan also utilized all he learned in the field of physics about energy as well; converting the energy stabilizing the blades integrity into that of pure concussive force, Gohan then shot the transfigured attack at Broly sending him flying straight to the ground where he impacted and continued through the bedrock miles into the ground, almost piercing into the mantle. Gohan did all this without wasting any energy he would have had to expend dissipating and forming a new attack. Minimize area of impact to ensure maximum affect.
Turning towards the storm covered sky, Gohan sent out little pulses of power, smaller than a surgical laser, and created pathways for lightning to travel to. Before the first pulse even reached the clouds, Gohan was modifying his aura and changed its natural electrical flow from negative to positive. What Gohan did was turn himself into a living lightning-rod. As lightning arced down from the negatively charged clouds it found itself a pathway for itself and a focal point. Flaring his aura as the lightning struck him, Gohan clasped his hands together with the first and second digit of each hand extended and the rest intertwined to form a closed fist. Gohan redirected the flow of lightning, which did not cease, into his extended fingers and charged his next attack. Fighters of any remote capability with ki could easily take an impact from a natural lightning strike as it did not have any chance of causing them harm. But the way Gohan was charging his attack was any way other than natural, within less than a tenth of a second it had already reached enough power capable of damaging Cell in his first form. As Gohan continued to charge power from his attack he also was converting it from electrical energy to ki energy, electrical energy would not have any affect on his opponent as Broly's raging aura would siphon away the charge. While it would turn Broly into a living light bulb with an intensity to rival a star for a short period of time, it wouldn't cause him pain as auras from fighters of their caliber already had an electrical output.
With a savage roar Broly' burst from the bedrock; a loud keening was heard from the stressed rock as he literally sheered through a portion with a large metal content. By the time he managed to locate Gohan it was already to late, Gohan had already amassed an enormous amount of power from the energy laden clouds. Unbeknownst to Gohan, he had gathered the power in a very similar way to how the Genki Dama worked. In fact he had gathered power not just from the cloud cover, but also from the sun as well; the electrical pathways he had made also served as a conduit for solar radiation which consisted of the visible spectrum of light and also all other types of electromagnetic waves. The actual power of the attack was much higher than the combined power of the Kamehameha struggle he waged against the bio-android Cell, and the way he had gathered the energy was vastly superior to his own augmented ki manipulation. If he had tried to gather the energy from his own stores it would have taken him three times as long to get the same amount of power as he did from the energy saturated environment. The only reason he was able to obtain the energy he did from the limited area he did was because in the recent years on Earth, there has been so much ambient energy leftover from attacks that it seeped into the planet, also with the sheer amount of power that each of the Z-Fighters possessed it simply radiated out from them on a daily basis creating a huge pool of power on the Earth. While this should have easily caused much more destructive storms and other natural disasters, the only reason it didn't was due to the efforts of the gifted young planetary god Dende.
All these factors combined together to create the nexus that formed Gohans improvised attack. With a wordless scream of pain and anguish, Gohan unleashed his attack on Broly. A wave of bright green ki was upon Broly before he could even fully comprehend the signals his brain was receiving. It completely engulfed and obliterated him and if it weren't for the sheer control Gohan had over it, it easily would have destroyed the Earth and surrounding space in a radius of three light years. Literally the instance Broly's soul was severed from his body it was sucked into a vacuum and shunted directly to Babidi's ship, the process caused intense pain as it exerted a huge amount of pressure directly proportional to the amount of ki Broly's body possessed. Babidi and Dabura were speechless at the readouts they received once his soul was stored. Combined with that they had received just minutes prior, it was enough to bring the total energy needed to revive Majin Buu to just fewer than 89%. Unfortunately as a side effect neither Brolys, Gotens, and all the other souls that had died during that short battle would be released into Otherworld until after Babidi had injected it into Buu's cocoon which still resided on Earth.
