Detrimental Eagerness (141)

Guldo dragged the last body into an emergency spaceship, exhaling sharply as he did so, time returning back to normal.

'Thankfully because their mutants, they haven't died yet but they're in critical condition, we'll be able to restore them back to full strength with cybernetic enhancements but I have to get them off the planet'

He looked outside the rocky mountain region, seeing a blurry purple figure clash with a blurry green figure.

"I can't even see their movements?!" he blurted out, dumbfounded as he heard horrific sonic booms.

'You hear that?'

'Yep, and from the ki signature it's Guldo, he managed to scramble the crippled Ginyu Force members onto an escape ship'

Broly narrowly ducked a punch aimed at his head, tanking a ki blast from King Cold's finger and punched back with all the strength he could, Super Saiyan power joining hands with the wrathful state.

'It's hard,' he thought with a smile on his face as he ate another punch to the face, not even flinching.

'You sound a bit too happy,' Yami said, passingly, alerting Broly of attacks King Cold would make.

'I actually might lose my first fight!' Broly responded excitedly, punching out at King Cold who in turn, ate the attack for breakfast.

'You do realise you die if you lose right?' Yami said clearly, understanding that his own life was on the line as well.

'I said might!' Broly thought, stepping back and avidly weaving King Cold's strikes, shifting onto the defensive.

"Not attacking anymore? Seems like your true colours are showing!" King Cold said mockingly, moving for another gut punch.

"I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of your misses," Broly said, evolving his movements so that he could keep up, copying King Cold.

'Look down wise guy,' Yami said quickly.

Broly focused, looking for patterns and tendencies in King Cold's behaviour, recognising muscle movements and twitches that consequently came from attacks. King Cold's speed was ridiculous, even without employing the mach punch technique, his strikes still caused afterimages, giving Broly the basis to interpret his attacks.

Broly dashed back, dodging King Cold's tail that swung at him, the sharp edges of his long tail barely grazing his skin. King Cold then pointed a finger at Broly, firing a long purple ki beam which was instantly deflected, Broly moving without thinking too hard. King Cold disappeared, using the opening to strike Broly's face only to find his fist blocked by a hand.

"Why aren't you dead yet?!" he shouted frustratedly, moving his limbs rapidly, trying to catch Broly out.

'His movements are very formulaic and repetitive, my durability can handle his strength and his speed is useless without good form.' Broly commented, unknowingly going into peak mental state to resist King Cold, the pain and strain on his body completely erased from his mind.

'You still haven't looked down yet,' Yami said warningly, an uneasiness rising in his voice.

'Although his durability is a problem, I can catch him in spaces but it's not doing enough damage,' Broly said critically, absorbed in the battle.

'Broly!'

'What?'

'Look down!'

"Tch!"

A thick opaque ki barrier appeared around Broly, surrounding him from every angle.

"What!"

Several slashes and scratch marks were on Broly's chest, most of them shallow however there was a deep mark on his left pectoral muscle, scratched in an X pattern while several other lines decorated his body, blood leaking.

King Cold smashed his fists against the barrier, irritated by the fact the surface exploded in his direction every time he was going to throw a punch.

"Tch! Slippery Monkey!"

King Cold stepped back, materialising a long blade of dark purple ki in his hand.

"Blaster Meteor Shower!"

Broly motioned inwards, collecting his ki and then motioned outwards suddenly, the barrier around his body emitting another barrier that rapidly expanded, pulsing through the environment, exploding onto King Cold's body.

"Did you really think that would-"

The first barrier around Broly broke away and reformed at a rapid rate, huge orbs indiscriminately blowing high into the environment, several smashing fiercely against King Cold, forcing him to brace.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Fuck!"

Guldo who was hastily piloting the emergency ship swore vehemently as he saw several erasers cannons locked onto his ship, tracing his movements that were only possible if he was being targeted.

He wanted to use his time freeze ability but his head was giving out, if he did it again, once it deactivated, he would certainly pass out.

Guldo zigzagged in the air, desperately trying to escape.

"Enough!"

King Cold exploded with ki, rushing Broly and delivering a harsh blow to the face, knocking him out of the makeshift defence he had constructed. King Cold took some damage as he did this, violent explosions sounding out around him but he didn't care, instead satisfied with the distance Broly had flown from his attack.

Broly smiled wildly, accepting King Cold's punches and returning his own with even more vigour, determined not to lose.

'He's getting stronger as he fights? Impossible!' King Cold thought agitatedly, swinging his limbs with annoyance.

CLANG!

CLANG!

CLANG!

BANG!

BANG!

The air around them echoed with never before seen fury, vast wind waves rushing out from their attacks and blowing over the environment fiercely, stray beams and blasts levelling mountains and sending horrid impacts through the earth.

"You have no right being this powerful! Go to hell!" King Cold yelled, his anger finally boiling over as Broly contested him in his max power state.

King Cold threw a fast jab which Broly barely blocked but he already swung his tail, causing another deep gash across Broly's abdomen, blood trickling down as Broly shifted his arm to block a kick aimed at his head while King Cold's tail moved again, swiping furiously at his calves, making them bleed even more.

King Cold then moved his tail with purpose. focusing on locking Broly's arms and legs with attacks and using his til to worsen existing wounds.

'This isn't good,' Yami said worriedly, watching Broly move with no caution at all.

Broly moved his tail, trying to use it to block King Cold's swipes but it was simply too slow in comparison, Broly moving his mind to new lengths as he tried to maintain his current defence while mirroring King Cold's technique.

'What do you mean? I still have my Legendary Form right?' Broly asked, exercising muscles he didn't know existed in his tail with all his heart, moving with seemingly growing energy.

'You're not angry enough or experiencing enough pain to access it, you need an emotional trigger that is moderately severe, you're too exhilarated from the idea of losing your first fight and while you're healing factor is tending to your wounds, King Cold is worsening them so that it requires much more ki than before' Yami said studiously, warning Broly.

Broly frowned, coming back to earth from Valhalla and focused with even more eagerness, understanding the severity of the situation.

However the unexpected happened.

King Cold stepped back and looked at Broly with a villainous smile.

'FUCK! Dispel the-'

Yami was too late.
