True Nature (143)

Broly and King Cold leapt at each other at the same time, their forearms clashing powerfully in the middle while they stared each other down, the air around them radiating with energy.

Broly smirked and turned around, showing King Cold his back.

"What are you-"

Broly's tail which had lengthened in size charged towards King Cold's face, forcing his arms up to block. Broly's tail moved again, aiming for King Cold's abdomen and striking it quickly, the slender and clever muscle contracting so that he struck several times in the same second.

"Your speed is a joke now," Broly said snarkily.

"DIE!"

King Cold rushed forward at Broly, however, Broly backflipped, using his foot to catch King Cold's jaw and spun him forward, throwing him to the ground and slamming him flat on his back, stepping on his throat.

"KAAAAAAH!"

King Cold made an awkward sound as air was forced from his lungs but was trapped at his throat, reaching for Broly's legs.

"Time to go bitch stomping"

Broly pushed up, nearly denting King Cold's throat as the air was still blocked, King Cold's arms gripping air where Broly was before.

DOOOOOSH!

Broly landed back on King Cold's stomach, forcing the air out of his body with force, permanently damaging King Cold's throat, blood spurting from the high-pressure areas.

"It seems like you tyrants don't need air to breathe, lucky you," Broly said aloud as he stomped up and down, smashing his foot repetitively on King Cold's face and chest, timing his jumps so that he would miss King Cold's arms and instead step on them.

"Enough!"

Broly leapt off King Cold as he released a purple energy wave from his along him to clamber to his feet.

Broly condensed another shield around his body, his upgraded ki forming a solid barrier as he approached King Cold without fear.

King Cold smashed his limbs against the 360-degree shield, unable to break it even with all his might.

"Eraser Blow!"

Broly pushed his hand onto King Cold's chest, forming a small opening in his barrier. Before King Cold could move, Broly's ki had already swarmed, huge volumes rushing towards him at point-blank range.

BOOOOOM!

King Cold was blown backwards but Broly had already planned his next move.

"Blaster Meteor Shower!"

Several Eraser Cannons fled from the shield but locked down King Cold with precision, exploding violently against his body and propelling him further away, knocking him off balance.

Broly flew forward quickly, leaping and positioning himself so that he cut through the air in a second, he shifted his waist and threw a solid superman punch at King Cold's face before slamming his chest against him, firing another point-blank eraser canon with his chest.

BOOOM!

King Cold was blown out of the green mist that followed while Broly charged his hand, prepared to deliver a fatal attack.

"Omega Blaster!" Broly yelled, releasing some of his rage with a feral grunt.

He shot a tiny ki orb at King Cold but carefully controlled it so that it swelled to a humongous size on arrival, sealing off all King Cold's escape routes on hit.

BOOOOOOM!

Another shocking explosion sounded out across the surface of the planet, King Cold's castle that was barely able to hold on reduced to rubble by the aftermath of the attack.

King Cold emerged from the mist, breathing heavily, his heart working at maximum capacity to keep him alive, his heart pumping as fast as possible.

"W-Why are you so strong?" King Cold said tiredly, various scratches lingering on his formerly shiny body.

"Why are you still alive?" Broly said angrily, dashing forward.

King Cold stepped back, now fearing for his life.

"Y-You can't kill me! I'm King Cold! The-"

Broly delivered his dashing punch, cutting off King Cold abruptly.

"I don't remember asking!" Broly said, performing his tried and true haymaker combo, forcing King Cold to stumble in the air, Broly watching him struggle with a small smile before delivering another hit that knocked him from side to side.

"If there is one thing commendable about your race it's your durability, you guys make excellent punching bags," Broly snarled as he struck powerfully.

King Cold buckled before releasing a quick energy blast that Broly easily sidestepped, looking back at him with a smirk.

"W-What do you want? I'll give you anything you want in exchange for my life! Anything!" King Cold begged.

Broly smiled, amused by the proposition.

"I want two things," he said, stretching out two fingers.

King Cold's eyes widened, realising he found a lifeline.

"Yes! Anything!"

"What's the password that gives me the highest clearance in your database?"

"Cold God 64209, all caps no spaces," King Cold said quickly.

"Next," Broly pointed down behind King Cold's legs.

"I want your tail," he said his smirk widening.

King Cold looked at Broly in disbelief, gritting his teeth as he realised what Broly had asked for and how shameful it would be.

"Take it!" he said quickly turning around and stretching it towards Broly.

Broly smiled and disappeared from his floating-place, able to see with his overpowered eyesight that there was some ki on the edge, meticulously placed to be camouflaged with his skin.

Broly appeared in front of King Cold and gripped his neck, squeezing it tightly with all his strength.

"I trained myself to be able to breathe without oxygen, you can't kill me like this," King Cold said, looking at Broly with soulless eyes.

Broly returned the smile and gripped his tail from behind aware of the ki that was trying to enter his body.

"Hahaha! You fool! You fell right into my-"

TSH!

"ARGGGGGGGGHHHHH!"

Bright purple blood leaked from King Cold's tail, gushing like a water fountain and dripping down to the ground wastefully.

"Another addition to my collection," Broly said, throwing his beaten body to the side which hovered in the air, King Cold breaking his teeth against each other as a strong stinging pain washed over him.

"You said you had an older son right? No doubt he's up to no good, I'll be hunting for his tail next," Broly said, flying into the sky aimlessly, waiting for something to happen.

"DID YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD LET YOU GET AWAY? DIE!" he yelled, firing a fast purple beam at Broly who had his back turned.

Broly spun around on cue, his left hand already thrumming with a small ki shield around his palm which he used to press the ki beam, stifling it on impact.

'FUCK!' King Cold cursed mentally, recognising his blunder.

He looked at Broly who smiled widely at him although he remained completely still.

'I have to escape!'

King Cold didn't hesitate and broke out into a mad dash, fleeing as fast as he could only to belatedly realise something.

'The planet is completely devastated!'

His tall military- base style palace was broken down to pieces, assumingly because of the explosions and airwaves that swarmed in their fight.

There was nowhere for him to hide.

King Cold looked back at Broly who still held the same eery smile, staring at him as if he was already dead, his teeth on full display.

He did the only thing he could.

"Please spare my life!" he begged, kneeling while bowing his head.
