Counterattack
The turmoil caused by the attack was slowly quieting down as the higher-ups of Exousia were giving the citizens a purpose which was to help others. With a goal in mind the crowd was exceedingly productive.
Broly approached Aize to ask about the situation. Aize answered him that there were actually no casualties. Broly had questioned him about that as it was strange that no one was killed. Aize only answered that the assassins were immediately noticed after they entered their orbit. They didn't even try to hide their intent but just attacked, which helped giving Exousia time to evacuate the non-combatants to their underground bunkers.
Some bunkers were somewhat damaged from the battle but except for some trapped people there wasn't much to worry about. The trapped people would be easily freed with the average strength of Exousia's inhabitants.
Broly looked at Aize. He was speaking deadpan. It wasn't his usual indifference but a bit different, it was like…
"King Broly, should we go eradicate that organization now?" Taro's voice sounded out from the side. Broly turned around and saw Taro who was as deadpan as Aize and instantly knew that something was up.
"Isn't it, great news that no one died, why are you looking like you lost your soul?" Broly asked them, but only silence greeted him. After awhile Aize opened his mouth.
"Your Majesty… how much stronger do you get with Super Saiyan 3?"
"Hm? Well four times stronger than the transformation into the Ascended Super Saiyan. So, 800 * 4. It is a multiplier of 3200 times my base."
"Your Majesty… didn't you say that an Ascended Super Saiyan is a 200 times multiplier and a Super Saiyan 3 is 800 times the base?" Taro asked with a trembling voice.
"Well, it is for you guys. Mine is a bit different, since legendary genes and all." As soon as his voice fell, silence reigned the surroundings again. Taro suddenly fell on his knees and drops of tears fell on the ground.
"This is so unfair!" Taro shouted sobbingly. Aize went to his side and patted his shoulder. Broly's mind was blank as he saw Aize console Taro before he thought about something.
"Taro, you could still stack Ikari. It would boost your Ascended Super Saiyan times 1.3 and with the Super Saiyan 3 it would boost you 1.1. Although it doesn't seem worth doing, I think as you are normal Saiyans it would boost you even more than it does for me." Broly tried to console him. At the beginning the two were rather close in strength, but the gap increased a lot during the years.
Taro looked up with his tear-filled face.
"Re-really you think so?" He wiped away the tears before looking hopefully at Broly.
"Yeah, our genes are a bit different but it possible that your gains would be higher. Although you still have to train really hard as it is really difficult to achieve. The effort in stacking those powers isn't something to scoff at." Broly reassured him.
"Right, I couldn't stack it with my normal Super Saiyan yet but with a few years-"
"Gains would be higher? 1.3 and 1.1?" Aize suddenly interrupted Taro. Taro and Broly looked at him confused. They didn't know what he was pondering about.
"Those are very specific. Does that mean you can't strengthen your Ikari anymore?"
Taro's eyes widened as he heard that question. His eyes darted to Broly who was staring into the empty air before smiling wryly at Taro. He didn't answer the question, but they knew what that meant. He had told them in the past that if he couldn't raise the strength of his Saiyan and Oozaru power any higher, he would start experimenting with Super Saiyan 4.
So, to close in the gap between Broly and Taro, it would be more reasonable to learn to control his Oozaru form and reach Super Saiyan 3 as he could then skip Ikari and go straight into Super Saiyan 4, but until then how could Broly not have achieved it by then?
Taro started sobbing even harder.
"Hey, should we move out soon to destroy them. I have already gathered the other elite teams to move out."
Broly turned around and saw Cana reporting to him as if she didn't see Taro at all. Broly wanted to explain but before he could say anything, Cana put up a hand.
"I heard everything. It is good that we didn't have any casualties but we should move out as soon as possible. We can't make them get away with this." Although her word choice was typically fiery, she wasn't speaking with much enthusiasms. Broly didn't say anything but only nodded, he had learned better just now.
They were flying to a platform where a few dozens of teams were gathered. Alea and Zangya were waiting there as well.
A second later they arrived and landed in front of the teams.
After everyone had their attention on Broly, he started speaking with a commanding voice. "Alright, I know where their headquarters are, but we have to move out soon. I don't know if they won't abandon it and go into hiding after getting the news that their attack teams were wiped out."
As he was speaking Taro and Aize landed behind him. They both had stern expression as if nothing had happened…
"Alright, we go in and crush them swiftly! I want no prisoners! The more you kill the higher will be your reward. So, take on your scouters to record everything!" After saying that he turned around and slashed the air with his arm. In an instant a space hole had formed for the group to go through. He could have used Kai Kai but it would take a while before everyone held each other and assured that no one was missing. This way they only had to walk through it.
Everyone went through the portal and appeared on a planet with rich purple flora. It was clear that life was thriving on this planet. Broly walked a short while to reach an edge of a cliff. He looked down onto the big city built on this planet. Thousands of assassins that were most loyal to the organization would be residing in here.
Even if someone was one of the strongest assassins out there, if they weren't deemed as loyal, they wouldn't be able to live here. This was also a reason why Broly felt a bit uneasy as he thought about the whole situation.
Broly was lucky that one of them had memories on the location of this place, otherwise he had no way of getting here. Broly thought it was weird that they sent out someone who was proven to be loyal but still sent them on a suicide mission. He first thought it was a trap and the memories were fabricated to lead them here.
Broly shook his head as he thought he was being too paranoid. It wasn't clear that they knew of his full strength and that he was easily able to overwhelm and get the memories of their members.
He looked down the edge on the city that was supposed to be here, but he found nothing… Nothing would be incorrect. He found a giant pit as if something was removed from the ground. Someone tapped his elbow. He turned his head and saw Cana pointing at something in the air. Broly looked up and saw a tiny point in the sky. With his extraordinary sight, he was able to see what it was.
A giant floating city with large thrusters at the bottom dashing into the distance.
"A flying city?" Broly mumbled. "Doesn't matter... Listen! They are trying to flee in there flying city! Bring it down for me and crush every single one of them!" After saying that he threw in a healing capsule as did the others, he opened up another portal and immediately went through.
It directly closed the distance and they were practically in front of the assassin's doorsteps.
Without hesitation Broly threw a ki blast at the thrusters but before it could do any damage it was blocked by a giant blue sphere that glowed the moment the ki blast hit it.
Broly squinted his eyes. He had already sensed it with his vision of truth, but he didn't think it would be hard to break but his attack didn't even leave behind a scratch. It had to be mentioned that he was currently using his normal legendary state as it was significantly less draining as the other two transformations.
He quickly assessed the situation and figured that he wouldn't be able to destroy it quickly, instead he directly flew towards the buildings. The barrier was only protecting the lower half of the city. Around the city was only a barrier that held in the air. Broly was puzzled as of why they didn't have something protective above the city, but Broly ignored it and dashed into the range of the city.
He didn't have to wait long until the first assassins noticed his arrival and started engaging him. The other Saiyans followed him and started attacking the assassins. They went all out as they didn't have to worry about the surroundings, after all this wasn't their home. Here, they could be as unrestrained as they wanted to be. Besides Broly would probably wish to see more destruction.
With that in mind they attacked the city savagely without a single thought of consideration. Even the elves were more violently after they knew that those people here were the ones that had attacked them a moment ago.
