Part 18, Chapter 3: Saving a Friend! Broly Joins the Fight!

Heh, heh... So, you're here to save Shallot, are you?

According to that King Kai individual, you've gained some kind of incredible power. That would explain your new appearance...

Nevertheless, you're no threat to Broly!

...

Broly! Now's our chance to finally right the great wrong that was done to us!

That man brainwashed us and used us as his pawns. Make him regret it!

Hmph... You're very good at barking threats when you're hiding in your son's shadow.

What was that?!

I'd much rather you show me the proper gratitude. I lent you my aid in your quest for revenge after all.

Hold your tongue...!

We sought revenge against King Vegeta! We had no wish to massacre all Saiyans!!

Broly, attack! Give him the merciless beating he deserves!

How mind-numbing... My dear Broly, it appears your father hasn't realized...

...the gap in our respective power!

...!

What the?! What is that power?!

Haaaaaa...!

You seem determined to proceed. Very well...

I'll have some fun with you before I crush the life out of Shallot!

Grrraaahhhh!

Daaaaah!

Oh, my...!

Uraahhh!

...!

Graaaaaaah!

Grr...!

His ferocity is growing with each attack...!

Daaaaaaaah!

...Ugh...!

I should have known... You're already starting to grow accustomed to fighting me.

Don't let up, Broly! Keep attacking him until he's completely and utterly beaten!

Hmph... You're awfully noisy for someone standing on the sidelines.

...!

Uwoohhh!

Daaaaaaaaaaa!

Gah...!

So, he still has even more power, does he...?

Your latent fighting potential is truly astonishing to behold.

However...

Grraaagghhh!

I'll be the one to emerge victorious!

...! Sounds like there's a commotion over there. That's the same direction Broly and Paragus were headed...

Did they get into some sort of fight?

Probably... I wonder if that means he was able to meet up with Shallot...?

Okay! Buu all done now!

O-Oh, great! Thanks a bunch!

Uhh...

Guh...

It looks like Shallot's friends' injuries are all healed up now.

They should come to any time now...!

Based on what that King Kai guy said, I bet it was Zahha who did this to 'em.

These guys aren't exactly pushovers, so I can't imagine anyone else was able to beat them up so badly.

Zahha must really be a huge deal...

...

I can see why Broly decided to leave us behind so suddenly and go on ahead...

Uh, h-hey! Why don't we find somewhere to hide until we can figure out what the heck is going on?

What're you talking about?! We came all this way because we were worried about Shallot and the others, didn't we?

That's basically what you said, ya know!

What I'm sayin' is in my experience, in times like these your feelings and convictions are what's most important!

Remember?

Gyeh...?! N-Now that you mention it, I guess you did.

I've made my bed, guess I gotta sleep in it...

I'm sure Shallot is in the same direction Broly went. Let's hurry!

Buu finally get to fight Shallot, right?

Huh?! E-Err, yeah, sure ya can!

Looks like I gotta do something to trick Buu so he doesn't wind up trying to pick a fight with Shallot...

Nraaaaaah!

Urgh...!

Urrraagh!

Haaaaaaaah!

Hmph...!

Hrn?!

Much like you've grown accustomed to fighting me, I'm able to adapt to your attack patterns as well.

Now it's my turn!

Haah!

Grah?!

B-Broly!

...Grrn...!

Taking a break, hm?

Ngh!

Syah!

Gwuh...!

Grrr... Rrraagghh!

DAAAAAAAAAAAH!

...!

...?! A-A wall...?

Heh...

That was quite a ferocious attack. I can't believe you've forced me to use my barrier.

Very commendable indeed!

Graaaaah?!

T-This can't be...!

He can create a barrier strong enough to completely ward off Broly's attacks?!

(This isn't good...! If this continues, Broly won't be able to win!)

Grrrr...

Broly...!

Haah!

Gwaaah?!

Guhh...

Daaaaaah!

It doesn't matter how many times you try to attack me, you cannot pierce this barrier...

Ooohhhhh!

Oh, for goodness' sake... You're even more obstinate than Shallot.

Grr...!

Don't lose your nerve, son!

Break that barrier into a thousand pieces!

Hrn...!

Daaaaaah!

Haah...! Haah...! Grrr...!

Good grief... That father of his is beginning to wear on me.

...!

You always fight alone, do you not? So there's no need to have such dead weight around you.

No!

S-Stop...!

Don't you dare...

...badmouth my father!

Broly...

Hmph. What admirable loyalty...

You do realize he doesn't have any regard for you, don't you? He's merely using you as a means to...

URAAGGHHH!

Well, I tried. Out of respect for your unwavering loyalty...

...I'll show you a modicum of what I'm truly capable of!

Haaaaaaah!

Gwaah?!

B-Broly!

Grr...! Stand up, Broly! Stand up!

You can still fight, I know it!

Urg... Ugh...

Haah...! Haah...! F-Father...!

...Daaaaah!

You want some more? Aren't you the tough guy.

Then how about this?!

Hrah?!

Now take this!

Buster... Sword Ray!

Nraaaaaaah?!

Ooh... Guh...

Wow, you're still standing. Your durability is worthy of praise.

However, this...is the end!

Hrn...!

Broly!

...Gaah...!

Huh...!?

My, oh my. This is a surprise. I wouldn't have expected you to shield your own son.

Father...?! B-But why...?

Haah... Ughh... I don't know... My body...just moved...on its own...

Gagh...!

F-Father...!

Guh...! L-Listen to me, Broly...! You are strong...!

I raised you...as the most powerful warrior. I know...you can win...!

U-Ugh...!

You must...make sure...you beat him...! Broly...

Fatheeeerrrrr!

Hmph...! What touching familial bonds.

Grr... Grrrrrrn...!

...!

Urrrgh... Grah...!

Raaaaaaah...!

URAAAAGGHH!

Ohhh... It's just like that time...

I see. Seeing it so close makes me appreciate the sheer power.

GRAAAAAAAAH!!

Ugh...!

Oof...!

Grrrrrrrrrrrr...!

Very good. That attack wasn't half bad.

Alright, then. Come on!

GAAAAAAAAAAH!

Uraaaggh!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Grr...!

Hrm!

...Gaaaaaaargh!

That was treacherous...

If I had taken that attack directly, I might have been critically injured.

Gnraaaaaaaah!

How rude. You should be more appreciative when someone compliments you.

Hrrrrn...! Hrrrrn...!

URAAAAAAAAAH!

Haah...! Haah...!

Hey, old guy! You dead or what?!

Urgh... I-It's you...

Oh, crap, you're hurt really bad! We've gotta get Buu to heal you right away!

You...can't be serious... You'd really...help me?

What's that supposed to mean?!

You...hate me, don't you?

I've treated...both you and Broly...so poorly this whole time...

You have no obligation...or reason to save me...!

When you're right, you're right. I can't stand you.

But I can't leave my friend's father to die like this!

If you have any gratitude, show it to your son! And don't you go dying until you do!

...

W-We finally made it...!

Holy smokes, this guy's hurt somethin' awful! Buu, do your thing and fix him up!

Don't wanna!

Huh?!

I don't like gray man at all!

B-But you healed him before, remember?!

Buu come to fight Shallot, not heal people! Buu bored of that!

(Shallot...! If that pink abomination heals him, they might stand a chance against Zahha...!)

Could you please do it for me? Please?!

...

Pretty pleeeeaaaase?!

Buu! I'm begging you!

I don't like him any more than you do, but he's the only family Broly's got!

Please!

Hrm...

...

If Buu heal gray man, Buu can fight Shallot?

Geh...! U-Uh, well, I...

O-Okay, how about this? I'll ask Shallot myself! I'll say, "Please give Buu the fight he wants!"

Yeah, and I'll ask him for ya too! So? Whaddya say, Buu?

Really? Really, really?!

Of course! It might not happen right away, but you have my word!

Hmmmm...

Okay! Buu heal mean old guy!

Oh, that's great! Much obliged!

Thanks, Buu!

Buu heal him now, just wait...

...

*Yawns*

U-Uh... Hey, Buu?

...

Earth to Buu! You there?

...

Zzzzz...

What the...?

D-Don't tell me... He fell asleep?!

You're kidding meeeee!!

Who the hell picks now of all times to take a nap?! Buu, wake up right now!

Buu! Buu, you gotta get up!

Zzzz... Zzzz...

It's no use, he's out like a light...! What the heck happened to you, Buu?!

D-Did he use too much power? He's not gonna be in slumberland for too long, is he...?

...

Tch...! If Buu can't heal him, he's really gonna die...!

In that case...

(I held on to this Senzu Bean for Broly so he wouldn't accidentally drop it during a fight. This is the only way...!)

(...No, I can't! This is only meant as a last resort. It's our most important ace in the hole!)

Urrg... Ugh...

Hang on, Paragus!

(But... I don't...!)

Oh, the hell with it! Hey, you old fart! Eat this!

W-What is it...?

If you eat this weird bean, it'll heal any injury, no matter how serious! It's called a Senzu Bean.

...

Hey! Hurry up and chow down before I start to second guess myself!

I-I don't need it!

This is no time to get all stubborn! Just eat it, or you're gonna die!

I'm not being stubborn! T-There's someone else...you should give it to besides me...!

What...?

You can't see him from here, but Shallot is over there...!

...! Shallot?!

He's lying unconscious... Now hurry! Feed him that bean...so he can fight with Broly!

Urgh...!

H-Hey! You, okay?!

Hmph...! D-Don't you take me lightly...!

I'm Broly's father, after all...! I may not be the strongest of my race, but I am a Saiyan! I won't...die so easily...!

Old guy...

Let's do what Paragus says! It's probably best to get Shallot to help us out here!

Yeah, you're right. If he and Broly work together...

"Saiyan"... And did I hear you guys say "Shallot"?

?!

I can tell you're all a little busy, but I got a few quick questions I need answered.

W-Who are you?!

Heh, heh, heh...

I'm the great Nappa! I'm a Saiyan, too. Not to mention Shallot's master!

Daaaaaaaah!

Urg!

Graaaaaaaaah!

Even though you lose yourself in your rage, you're able to properly zero in on your opponent and close in to attack them.

I'd expect no less. You're a different breed from the others.

Haaaaah!

...! Here he comes...

GNRAAAAAAH!

Argh...!

Hrrrrn...! Hrrrrn...!

Heh... Your stamina knows no bounds.

RAAAAAAAAAA!

Uh-oh...!

Hrn!

What a shame. That attack won't hit me.

Hyaah!

Geh...!

Haaaaaaah!

Gwaaaaaah?!

If it weren't for my healing magic and barrier, it's hard to say whether I'd win or lose this fight, even with this form.

Arg... Gah...!

You have no one to blame but yourself for coming here to save Shallot, you fool.

This is it!

Oh, no you don't!

...!

Now that I'm here, you're not doing anything!

...?!

Looks like you've gotten a whole lot stronger, Zahha!

What a surprise. I never would have expected you of all people to show up.

I heard everything. You're the mastermind who started this whole Tournament of Time crap!

I never would have expected you to betray me and Shallot...!

Gotta say, I'm disappointed. I always thought of you as one of my proud disciples!

Hah... Seems like you were a bad judge of character, then.

Gurrrh...!

You're Broly, right? Heh, heh, yeah. I can tell you're pretty strong too alright...!

But don't you worry! I'm on your side!

Your dad and those other guys asked me to come here to lend a hand!

...!

Heh, heh...! They asked you of all people? You hardly seem like a valuable asset.

Asset, shmasset! Doesn't matter! The only person with the right to correct a disciple's mistakes is their master!

Get out here, you freaks!

Kyeeeeeeeeh!

I'm gonna make you regret what you've done personally, you idiot disciple!

Kieeeeeeeh!

...

Uraaaaaah!

Gweh?!

H-Hey! HEY! They're on our side!

DAAH!

Hah...!

GAAAAAAAH!

EAT THIIIIS!

Haa...! Haa...! Did we get him?

Did you really think something so paltry would break my barrier? You're both so dense.

Damn! Shoulda figured that wouldn't work...

Hey, you slacker Saibamen! Get out there! Don't give him an inch!

Kyeeeeeeh!

...Was that an attack?

Grr...! I hate that cocky look on his face!

What an eyesore...

Guhweeeeeh!

I can't believe these sub-scum creatures tried to pick a fight with me...

I'm clearly being taken for a fool.

Heh...! You should always make use of anything at your disposal as much as you can. Looks like I taught you something new!

Hmph...! How much longer do you plan to continue this dim-witted master and disciple farce?

It's no farce! You and Shallot are my bona-fide disciples!

Of all the ridiculous...

It's high time you stopped categorizing me alongside the rest of you riff-raff.

Huh?!

Shallot, where are you...? You're still alive, right?

We gotta keep quiet, or we'll be found out... Not to mention I'm worried about Broly. We gotta hurry up and find Shallot!

Eeeeeek!

W-What the heck?! Something over there just flew by, didn't it?

Eep!

Urgh... Uuuugh...

You're that guy we just met, aren't you?

You lot are utterly moronic as well, I see. If you had simply hidden yourselves, you might have lived just a little longer...

...!

A-A-Are you... Z-Z-Zahha?!

...! It's him!

Hey, where's Broly?!

Unconscious over there. If he ate one of those Senzus, he'd probably be in fighting shape again.

Wuh?! No... Broly!

W-We gotta scram, Cheelai! Or we're dead meat!

Don't be stupid! Do you really think he'll just let us go?!

Get outta here... Both of ya!

H-Hurry...! Go find Shallot... Now!

Old Man Nappa...!

Zahha... You're not layin' a hand on these guys!

Heh, heh... You barely managed to stand up just now.

Don't be so reckless! If you do this, you're really gonna die!

I thought I told you to get the hell outta here!

...!

A-Alright then, we'll leave it to you. Hey, Old Man Hercule! Let's go!

Y-Yikes! Don't leave me heeeere!

...

Yer just gonna let 'em go? You must be feeling awfully confident.

Hah... You're all going to die anyway. The order in which that happens is trivial to me.

Even if Shallot is revived, he... In fact, NO ONE who stands against me poses a threat!

Heh...! Heh...! You're seriously underestimating us...!

What's that?

GRRAAAAAAH!

I thought you were immobile, but it's clear you still have some fight in you.

D-Damn right!

We Saiyans are a warrior race...! We won't give up a fight...so easily!

Hmph... You speak with such certainty...

But Broly was your last ray of hope, and his power has fallen considerably from before. I'm sure even you can guess how this will turn out.

Grrrrr...!

Shut your trap! I still got lots of Saibamen seeds left! Now, get out here!

Kieeeeeeeeh!!

I'm so fed up this this I can't even be bothered to sigh. This pointless joke has gone too far.

Heh, heh...! It's too early to say it's pointless, disciple!

This fight ain't over yet! I won't let it!

Hrrn...! Hrrn...!

Haah...! Haah...!

Kieeeh!

Hmph!

Guwheh!

It's finally coming to an end...

Coming to an end?

How come? There's still two standing right in front of ya.

Urrrrr... Uraaaahh...!

You have my respect. You both did well going to such lengths to help Shallot.

And yet, even if Shallot is able to stand against me once more, I'll simply beat him back down again.

None of your efforts will be rewarded. It's all rather pointless, isn't it?

Help Shallot...?

Heh! I don't know about Broly here, but that's not what I'm here for.

I'm just here to stop my student from acting so damned stupid!

AND THAT'S WHAT I PLAN TO DO!

Is that it?

Grr... Dammit...! No matter what I do, it's not gonna make a difference, is it?!

GAAAAAH!

Hmph... That was also meaningless.

HAAH!

Gyaah!

This is the end...!

HAAAAAAAAH!

...! A smokescreen?!

Was that...?

Broly! Old man! It's okay now.

Urg... Guh...

Sha-Shallot...?

I'm back, thanks to you guys! Cheelai gave me a Senzu Bean and now I'm all healed up!

So, you two can rest now.

S-Sorry, Shallot...! I wish...I could've done something to stop Zahha...

Shallot... I-I'm sorry...

Don't sweat it! Just leave the rest to me.

Now, then! Sorry to keep you waiting, Zahha!

...

What's wrong? You so surprised to see me again that you can't even speak?

...Ughhhh...

I've grown so weary of this... Yes, you may be back, but you have no means to defeat me by yourself.

Who said he's by himself?

Sorry to say, but you're wrong about that!

As you can see, we're here too!

Giblet! Goku!

How can you two possibly be...?

I see, it was Majin Buu, wasn't it? I saw him with that woman and the others...

He disappeared a moment or two ago, but he must have gone to heal the two of you.

Heh, heh! Another swing and a miss!

Urrgh... Urrrn...

Ah, you finally came to!

Is that...Yajirobe?! And you look familiar, too...

Huh? Do you know my dad or something? I'm Hercule's daughter, Videl.

Videl?! Did you grow your hair out? That must be why I didn't remember you! Sorry about that.

Huh, what? So, I guess you really do know my father...

More importantly, what're you two doing here? I remember getting beaten by Zahha...

We heard about what happened from that guy named King Kai, so we came all the way here!

You all were in bad shape, so we couldn't just leave you here, you know!

So, I fed you a Senzu Bean! You better appreciate it!

So, that's what happened...! Thanks a bunch, Yajirobe!

Man, and I was saving them too, but I had to give beans to you and that guy over there.

That guy over there...?

He's a friend of yours, right? He was passed out near you and looks exactly like Shallot!

Urrrgh...

Giblet!

Yeah, he's with us all right! I really owe you guys one! Now we can fight Zahha again.

We've got a lot of friends, you see.

So they came here to help too...! Heh, heh! Once this is all over, I gotta make sure to thank them!

Looks like all that effort you put in beating us went to waste. Too bad, Zahha!

...

The only thing that's a waste are the brains inside of your heads. How can you still fail to grasp such a simple concept?

You can heal and come back a thousand times over, and bring as many allies to oppose me as you want...

But every last one of you is nothing more than an annoying insect to me!

Heh...! It's a little early to be declaring yourself the victor!

Time for us to start buzzing! And we're not gonna stop until we've beaten you, Zahha!
