Part 15, Chapter 3: The Miserable, Crazed Warrior

I think we need to pick up the pace, you two! We have to hurry and meet up with the others!

Listen, you! How about you try being a little more considerate?!

You got to recover by eating that Senzu thing, but we didn't. We're tired, got it?

We were also attacked by all those people suddenly... I don't think I can keep going like this...

I-I'm sorry! But there's no time to lose...

That Shisami guy from before... according to him, we're facing one heck of a large-scale assault.

We have to get back to the Lookout and prepare to counterattack!

I won't allow you to do that, you troublesome Saiyans!

So, you lot are the Saiyans who bested Shisami, it seems?

You're with the ones who attacked us, I take it...?

What the...? You're both Saiyans, too, aren't you?!

...

Caulifla, please be careful! The big Saiyan looks... Well...

Yeah, I got it. The big guy's bad news...

...

Are you...

Huh?!

Are you all...friends of Shallot?

...What?

Broly...! There you go again with that nonsense. You don't have to ask that every single time!

I...I'm sorry...

...

I wouldn't say we're his friends...

Master is...special. He taught me how to fight...and how to face myself.

!

Me too... Shallot taught me many things...

Oh...?

What did you say?!

Shallot is...an important friend to me...

What?! Really? Then...

But you guys have been going after Shallot and everyone he knows, right? What the hell's that about?!

I...! Well...I...

Broly... You mean to tell me that you know Shallot? That's why you asked that Gohan about it earlier?

...

No matter! The fact remains that Shallot and his affiliates are our enemies!

Now, hurry up and kill this lot, Broly! Or do you not intend to fulfill your duty?!

Kuh...!

What's with him, acting all high and mighty?

Broly's your name, right...? If you're friends with Master, then there should be a way to settle this without fighting!

...Ah...hng!

Broly. Don't tell me that you're thinking about defying my orders!

I am your father, Broly! And you will obey ME! Not them!

...Uuurrrgghh...!

KILL THEM, BROLY!!

...UUWOOOOHH!

Damn...! We don't have any choice!

Yeah, seems like it! We can try talking again after we beat some sense into him!

Let's do this!

HAAAAAHHH!

OOOOHHH!

GWAH?!

Sis!

HAAAAAH!

GYAAAH!

(It's like...we can't even put a scratch on him...!)

(No matter how much we attack...he doesn't even feel it! His strength is on a whole other level...!)

...

What's the matter, Broly? You've missed one!

...!

Hurry up and kill him! All Saiyans must be exterminated!

...Ughh...

GRR...AAAAGHHH!

D...Damn it...

HUAAHH!

?!

What the...?!

What in the world was that sound?! What's going on?!

...

Nope, I can't do this. I can't just stay in here and watch this happen! I'm going out there!

Hey! Wait just a minute! Go out and do what, huh?! You'll only get yourself hurt getting in the middle of that!

Even if I can't do anything, it's better than just sitting and waiting in here! I'm going!

If you go, Buu go, too! It boring in here!

B-Buu...not you, too!

Where'd that attack come from...?!

...

Giblet!

?!

Sha...Shallot...?!

So...our enemy is a Saiyan, hm...?

So...our enemy is a Saiyan, hm...?

Giblet... Now that you're here...we might just make it out of this alive...

But...even with you here, I don't know if we can win. This guy's strength...it's unbelievable!

Doesn't matter.

Huh...?

No matter how strong the opponent, it's not a reason to turn tail and run.

Fight and win. That is all I came here to do.

Ha...ha ha...ughh...

(I suppose he really is just as reliable... in times like this...)

He's out cold...

You look like Shallot, but... No...wait... You're...

Shallot's twin brother, Giblet!

Huh?!

...

To think that even you would be so bold as to show up here! Now, kill him, Broly!

(Broly...? Oh. Right... Him...)

F...Father...

What is it?!

...

I...

I...can't...fight him...!

...What was that?

The truth is...I didn't want to fight Shallot's friends, either! Fighting his family...is even worse!

Because Shallot...is my friend!

So what if he's your friend? You don't want Shallot to hate you? Is that it? Hmph! It's too late for that!

Have you forgotten? You've already killed Gohan, one of his companions!

...!

What's more, these battered Saiyan husks scattered about are your doing!

You think Shallot will forgive you just because you let his brother go?!

In Shallot's eyes, you're already his sworn enemy!

Urrgghh!

Broly, was it? Shallot's not one to abandon his friends so easily.

Nonsense! Don't believe him, Broly!

Would you forgive anyone who killed one of your friends?! Would it not enrage you?!

Ugh...urrghhh!

You could never forgive them, right?! Shallot is the same! He will never forgive you!

Guh!

Sha...Shallot...won't forgive me...

We can never go back to the way things were. Just like with Ba!

Ugh...!

UWAAAGGHHH!

UWAAAGGHHH!

!

Yes! That's good, Broly! Just do as you're told and keep fighting!

Do it, Broly! Kill Giblet!!

UWOOOHHHH!

...Tch...!

(If I fight here, Cabba and the others will get caught in the crossfire...)

You won't escape so easily! After him, Broly!

OOOHHH!

Th-That was...

You guys can go on ahead without me and look for that Broly guy.

A, Are you sure?

There's no reason for all of us to wait here...

And I owe you one for what you did during our fight against Syn Shenron.

Well...when you put it that way...!

That's definitely him. It's Giblet! He really showed up!

Hmm? Gib...let...?

Hrm, where have I heard that name before...?

He's Shallot's twin brother! He was with Shallot not too long ago!

He's not the social type, but you can totally count on him when it matters.

Oh, right! Now I remember! The guy who was with Shallot at the Lookout!

Hm? You know him, too? Then you must know how strong he is, right?

Maybe...just maybe Giblet will be able to stop Broly for us!

Well, we can't just stand here! We have to go after Giblet and the others!

Y-Yeah, of course! Uh...let's go!

(I feel bad for having you two brothers save the day all the time, but...we're counting on you, Giblet!)

About here should be fine...

Fuuuh! Hwuuuuh!!

So, you've finally realized there's no point in running? In that case, here is where you die!

NOW GO, BROLY!

URAAGGGGHHH!

?!

Just a dog doing your master's bidding? How ridiculous...

Haaahh!

DAAAHHHH!

Wh...What?!

You won't mind if I cut loose, will you?

Ah...ahhh?!

Urrgh! UGAAAHHHH!

HAAAA!!

Ugh...guuh?!

Hmph...

You seem to be having some trouble focusing on the battle. But that doesn't mean I'll hold back!

Dammit...! What are you doing, Broly?!

...!

Don't tell me you're still hesitating to fight him!

Don't think about anything besides the battle! Use the power that Lord Zahha gave you!

...!

What...?

Listen well! We've been ordered by Lord Frieza himself to kill him!

If you screw things up here, I and my entire unit will likely be executed!

Scores of soldiers will die, and their blood will be on your hands!

Ugh...guh...uggh!

No...! If I don't do it...Father...and Cheelai will...! I must...protect them!

But...I still don't want to kill Shallot's brother...!

...

I can't choose... I can't!

Don't talk back to me! All you should do is shut up and obey my orders!

DO IT FOR ME! FIGHT, BROLY!

Ngh!

Ooh...argh!

AAAAHHHH!!

It always comes down to that power...

Now, Broly! Obliterate him!

UWOOGHHOGH!

Grrhh...

Kuh... HAAAAH!!

...

What?!

BAAAAHHH!

Gwah?!

Th-That's far enough! Any closer and we'll get caught up in the blasts!

Hmmmm? Buu think something wrong with them...

Whoa! W-W-What in the world is this terrifying atmosphere?!

That must be...

...the dark Ki! I think I remember hearing about it!

D...dark Ki...?

Yeah. The more you use it, the crazier you become... At any rate, it's supposed to be super dangerous!

Oh, no, really?!

That stupid geezer! How could he make Broly use something like that?!

But look... Isn't the old guy using it, too?

You're right... He also has dark Ki.

(Come to think of it, there's been something off about him ever since we first met in this era...)

No... More important than that...

If this keeps up, Broly AND Giblet are gonna be in serious trouble!

From here, it looks like Broly's getting the upper hand. If only there was some way we could help...

That's right! Buu, I need to ask you a favor...

Hm?

Do you think you can use your power to heal Giblet?

If he's at full power, there may be a way for us all to get out of this mess!

...! Yeah, that's right!

Please, Buu! Can you heal Giblet just like you did for that Gohan guy?

Hmmmmm... Why we can't fight together? Buu wanna try fighting Broly, too!

Let's, uh, save that for next time! We gotta stay in this unit until we make sure Broly's safe and sound, after all.

No one can find out that we're actually with Giblet and the others yet!

Hmmm? Hercule be in trouble?

Y-Yeah! I'd be in a whole heap of trouble!

S-So, you have to hold off from fighting here and wait until Giblet is alone so you can heal him. Can you do it...?

Mmmm...

Okay! Buu no want Hercule to be in trouble!

Ohh, thank you, Buu! You're the best!

You're a big help, Buu! It's so great that we have you here!

Alright, you ready, Buu! You gotta be sneaky about it, okay? You can't let that old man Paragus see you!

Yep! Got it! Buu sneaky!

Sneaky...sneaky...

Gotta get closer... But...

...Nnnghh... Sneaky not easy...

Oh, my...

I came here because I'd heard that Broly was fighting Giblet of all people...

Uh-oh... You found Buu...

Wait... It okay if this guy find Buu? Or bad?

Majin Buu... If you're not taking part in the fight, then just what are you doing here?

Buu busy now! Buu need to hurry and heal Giblet!

Dear, oh, dear... To think you'd state your traitorous intent so plainly...

I had hoped to use you as insurance in case Broly went on a rampage...

But since you plan to betray me...

...I can't allow you to leave here alive, now can I?!

Haa...haa...

Heh, heh, heh... You look a little out of breath...

According to my intel, you haven't yet recovered from all those battles you've fought up to now, yes?

...

But even if you were at full strength, I doubt you'd be able to contend with Broly as he is now...

Fuuuuh... Huuuh!

(I should probably use that power...)

(But as is, I'd hit my limit in no time...)

(Using it in this situation is too dangerous...)

Go on, Broly! Keep this up and he'll be dead in no time!

With your power, the annihilation of all Saiyans is a trivial matter!

I've raised you until now for this exact purpose! Now fulfill your duty, Broly!

GAAARRGGHHH!

WOOOHHHH!

Ngh!

Don't let up, Broly! Don't stop until he's dead!

HAAAAA!!

Gwah!

DEYAAAAAH!!

Gaha!

Damn you...!

Do pardon me for interrupting the festivities...

Ah!?

Frieza?!

Uugghh...

Huh?!

Oh, no, is that...!

BUU?!

This one was skulking around, trying to get close to you, Giblet...

He was being a nuisance, so I put him in his place.

Guh...oooh...

This Majin Buu...it would seem he regards you as an ally. Has it been that way from the start?

...

Well, I don't need you to respond.

It's not a matter of whom he thought of as an ally...it's a matter of whom he chose to defy that's led to his downfall!

Farewell, Majin Buu!

Her...cule...

KIIIYAAAAHH!

...!

B...Buu!

Aah...aahhh....

No... No, it can't be...!

BUUUUUU!!

NOOOOO! BUUUUUU!

Stop! You can't go over there! Do you wanna die, too?!

I know how you feel. But if you die here, it'll have been for nothing! You have to keep your head on straight...!

Guh... Guuuuhhhh... Aaaarrrghh, damn it! Damn it all!

Going out of your way to do it in plain sight... You really are a perverse bastard!

Oh-ho-ho! I'm so pleased to hear you enjoyed it...

Even my father feared Majin Buu. But at my level of power, he wasn't even an obstacle. Just mere trash.

Now, then... Broly?

I'd say it's about time you quit playing around here and move on to our next target...

Next target...?

Fufu... Curious, are we?

It would seem Zahha is cooking up some sort of scheme... But that has nothing to do with me.

Your next target...is Shallot. I have some business with him as well.

?!

Sha...Shallot...is...my...friend...

Oh...? Is Shallot an acquaintance of yours, Broly?

Hmph...well, well, well! This could prove quite compelling indeed...

A battle to the death with someone who was once your ally... It's much like Shallot and Giblet's story previously...

Damn you!

Ho-ho... No need to worry, Giblet...

You'll be dying here, so you'll be spared having to witness them kill each other...

Kukuku...! I can't wait to see the look on Shallot's face when Broly appears before him as an enemy...

You scum...

I won't let a single one of you make it to Shallot!

I will stop you here...no matter what it takes!

Uuu...WOOH!

Wha?!

Grr...OOOHHH!

GYAAAAAAAHHHH!

...

Uuhh... Ah...?!

Hmph...

Of all the possible trump cards, you choose to just change your appearance slightly...?

How ridiculous... Go now, Broly! Clean up this trash, and be quick about it!

Guh...guguh...

UWAAAAHH!

HAAAAAH!

UGIH?!

!!

(Where did this power come from...?!)

Something wrong, Frieza? Where'd that smirk of yours go?

...

Hmph... It would appear you are quite confident in that power of yours...

But to have brought it out this late must mean you can't use it for very long, can you...?

True, I can't...

However...I won't need long to take out the likes of you.

You took the words right out of my mouth. And now...I'll be taking that insolent tongue out of yours!

No matter how much you claim to have powered up, you could never hold a candle to me. Not in a million years!

Now, allow me to prove it to you!

HAAAAAHH!

UWOOHHH!

DAAAAAHH!

GUH?!

Tch...! I thought I'd amuse myself with you for a moment, but you've let yourself get carried away!

(What's going on here...?)

(He should be running out of power already, but it doesn't seem like he's weakened even a little!)

You'll regret getting brash with me, monkey!

Ngh!

...Hmph!

?!

You seem to be having some trouble, Frieza!

HAAAAA!!

Gih?!

(This...shouldn't be possible!)

I think it's time I wrapped this up!

D...Damn you!

You will not make a mockery of me, you insect!

AAAARRGHHH!

URAAGHH!

What?!

Broly...?!

HAAAAA!

...

Hmph...

...Oh, dear, how uncharacteristic of me. I let myself get a little heated there...

I believe I'll let Broly finish things here...

(That being said, it may prove to be quite a task for Broly to kill him at his current level...)

...Paragus?

Y-yes, sire!

Damn that Giblet... To think he had been hiding such power...

Indeed. But it will not pose a problem.

Shall we draw out even more of Broly's power?

What?! My lord, Broly is already fighting with everything he has!

This may be all I'm able to force out of him. Anything more is...

Oh, come, now...

You don't seem to grasp exactly why I had that young woman tag along with your unit...

Woman?

! You're referring to Cheelai, sire...?

Fufufufu...

How do you plan to put her to use...?

Well, since you asked...like this!

Ah?! My...body is... I'm floating?!

Let's have Broly really get serious, shall we?

W...Waaaa?!

DARAAAHH!

Gah...!

And now...

...IT'S OVER!

Waaaahh?!

?!

Huh?!

Look out...!

Guh...!

B-Broly! You...You protected me...?!

Ch...Cheelai...! What happened?!

I-I don't know! I have no idea what happened! Suddenly, I just started floating and then I was flung over here...

My word! How despicable!

...?!

My dear Broly! Cheelai's near accident was the work of none other than Giblet!

What...?!

Giblet forced Cheelai into harm's way because he knew it would hurt you!

...Huh?!

If you don't kill him first, then there's no doubt he'll keep trying to kill your father and your friends, Broly!

...!

Frieza... I see... So this was your doing!

Guh...uuugghhh! He'll kill...Cheelai...and my father...!

Broly, no! Giblet would never do anything like tha!

Uggghhh...!

Gu...aaa...AAAHH!

UUWAAAHHHHH!

GIIIIIBLEEEEEET!!!

Gah?!

GAAAAAAHHHHH!

Guuh?!

Giblet!

Hm, I'd say that worked out quite well...

You little...! That was you, wasn't it?!

Ho-ho! How could you possibly suspect me?

But...if you hadn't been sneaking around, then perhaps none of this would've happened... Fufu...

You...!

Paragus...

Sire!

Let us be going. We have to see this through until the end...

You get back here right now!

No...! Damn it!

Cheelai! Are you okay? What on Earth happened?!

Frieza used me...to make Broly...

...

(No!)

(This is my fault! Frieza was only able to use me because I chose to come here!)

Why am I always...so useless...?

Cheelai...

URAAAAGHHH!

Guh!

Grr... Uwooohh!

Ngh?!

GAAAHH!

GUHAA?!

Kuh... What is this...?! He's far more powerful than he was just a minute ago.

But...there's no way I can let myself lose!

GUOOHHHH!

UWOOOOHHH!

Gah...!

Guh...!

UGAAAHHHH!

Gah...ha...!

Gonna take more than that...!

...Ugh?! Guuhh!

(Ugh... My punch...has nothing behind it anymore!)

(My time's...run out...)

Kukuku... It looks like he's reached the extent of his power...

A...Amazing! Wonderful, Broly! I didn't know you had such power in you!

OOHHHHH!

Guah!

(N...No...!)

Not...yet...!

Tch... Someone doesn't know when to give up! You still intend to struggle against the inevitable?!

I can't...I won't...die here!

...!

I still have things I must do... I made a promise to him...!

I have to...keep going!

HUUAAAAAAA!!!

HRRAAAGGGHH!!

...?!

What in the...? Weird... I got a bad feeling all of a sudden...

What are you spacing out for? You're wide open!

Shut your mouth!

Igyah?!

(This feeling... Don't tell me...!)

Damn it, move! I don't have time to play games with you!

Guehhh!

(No! It can't be... Giblet...!)

...Heh heh heh!

...Hmph! You should've said you were a comedian...

Heh! Sorry for that! But at least now we're even! ...I mean, it could have been a fluke...

But oh well! Now I can power up even more!

I'm going to catch up to you, Giblet!

...I'm looking forward to it...

...

Giblet...? Is something wrong?

No...

There's something I need to tell you...

My weakness has led to plenty of mistakes. I even tried to kill you...

With you beating me...you made me realize the way things should be. I had long forgotten.

Thank you, Shallot.

...

...I...

I'll never stray from the right path again...

So we can continue to fight... Together.

That's why...

Haaa...! Haaa...!

Ohh! You did well, Broly!

Fufufu... Indeed. Well done...

He was a lot tougher than I'd expected, I admit. But he's perished at last.

Ah...aaahhh!

This can't...this can't be happening!

No way...

Ngh...uugghhh...

GIBLET!!!
