A Legend Comes True
A DBZ fic by Dave (Cloud)

**Contains major spoilers**

     Author's Note: This fic is a re-telling of the fight against Brolly in Dragonball Z movie 8, but in Vegeta's point of view. Some of the quotes won't be exact, but it shouldn't be a problem. I hope you all enjoy the fic!


     "Kakarot!" Brolly shouted. Kakarot only stood there, staring directly into the heart of evil.

     "You're the Legendary Super Saiyan!" I shouted as I made a direct charge at Brolly. I immediatly turned Super Saiyan myself, and unleashed a powerful kick into the side of his neck, in hopes of knocking him out cold.

     It didn't work. The kick didn't even phase him for a second. It was like nothing more than a gust of wind rushing into it. I then leaped up high into the air, and fired a strong fireball right down, but it caused nothing more then a crator that stood under the Legendary Super Saiyan's feet. Kakarot, himself, was amazed on how my attacks didn't even leave a mark, as the only thing Brolly was determined to first do was destroy Kakarot.

     I fell to my knees, as I could only stare and watch Brolly begin to power up to his terrifing maximum.

     "The Legendary Super Saiyan..." was all I could blurt out, as I saw the fierce power of Brolly reach it's maximum. Kakarot, his son and my son where all that stood in his way, but little did they realize, their power was no match. No match at all, for the Legendary Super Saiyan, who was ready at anytime, to pounce on the group like a fierce mountain lion. I was too shocked, to amazed, too afraid, to even make one movement. One look into those devilsh eyes was enough to make anyone collapse in fear, even I, the great Saiyan Prince, Vegeta. My pride wasn't what was important at that time, but rather my own safety. The silence only lasted a few seconds, but it seemed like an eternity. Time slowed down to it's minimum as the entire universe waited for the Battle and fight for their very survival to begin, and they will witness the true power of this monster, this devil, that had somehow, escaped alive when Frieza destroyed the planet, Vegeta, nearly 30 years ago. None of us had realized that for 30 years, this monster, this instrument of death, had been roaming the universe, with his father, Paragus, destroying and conquering as they went, just like I once did.

     I thought back to what Paragus had said earlier, "The thing I'm really after is the Earth. I have always dreamed of using that beautiful planet as my Saiyan base." That sentence reign through my ears like a loud, engine of a heavy carrier plane, making the rage of fire burn within me. I immeditly thought of my wife and child back on the Earth. At that very moment, I wanted to send him to the other world, sending him to a fate much worse then death! However, only five minutes have passed since he told us his plan, and I went from angry to fear. My heart raced at one hundred miles an hour, as I watched and waited for the battle to begin. My thoughts were interuppted by the evil voice of "the devil".

     "Kakarot, you will be the first of my bloodbath!"

     I then saw the battle of survival begin, as Brolly began to fire the "green energy of death". He targeted Kakarot's son, but Kakarot grabbed him, and began to fly away from the scene as quickly as possible, holding his son in one hand. The Legendary Super Saiyan gave chase and released more and more energy has he went, his reign of destruction had begun. Seeing that he had no choice but to help, Trunks left my side and flew off to see if he could lend a helping hand to Kakarot and Gohan. I didn't even notice he had gone, my mind was in too much fear and anxitety to do anything. The next thing I can recall was the three warriors going Super Saiyan, in hopes of being strong enough to take down the Brolly, to once and for all, allow the universe to never again, hear the terrifying scream and laughter of Brolly....

     I got up and looked out toward the battlefield. "Stop it," I said, "You can't win! He's the Legendary Super Saiyan!" Paragus could only laugh at my fear, that bastard! I should have blown him away earlier for tricking me into coming to this wasteland, for trying to make me stay on this planet so I could be destroyed by a huge comet! "Watch, Vegeta. Our reign of destruction has begun!" Right then, right there, I had the perfect opprotunety to destroy him, but the fear of "the devil" provoked me from doing nothing but stare and watch in horror. "Stop!" I shouted again. They didn't listen. They were insisted they could defeat Brolly one way or another. They didn't even take into consideration just how powerful he really was. They kept trying and trying but Brolly kept smashing them into the concrete walls of the ruined city Paragus had built to fool me. That bastard. That son of a bitch. I hope he gets what he deserves!!

     "He's....the Legendary Super....Saiyan..." I, once again, fell to my knees, and looked on the ground with fear. "We're...we're all going to be killed." The planet shook as the bright glare of the imcoming comet came closer and closer with eash passing second, while the hope of the survival of the universe decrased by each passing second. There was nothing I, nor Kakarot, nor Gohan, nor Trunks, nor anyone anywhere could do to defeat him. Who would've ever realized that a day starting out by going to a Karaoke party, and putting up with Krillin's high pitched singing, would turn into the Day of Death? Or, with some possibily, the Day of Liberation. Liberation from the very evil that could wipe out an entire galaxy instantly, the very evil that nothing, not even a planet on the verge of destruction, could get rid of. He was like a parasite to this universe, feeding off of the bloodshed and destroying has he went. We were the only ones who had potential to even try and stop him, but things weren't looking good at the moment.

     The bloodcurling screams of pain echoed through the ruined city. Kakarot was giving it his best, but nothing seemed to be effective. Brolly continued to take down Kakarot with single blows, while Gohan hung from a ledge at the top of a building. Trunks layed unconscious, badly beaten like the rest of the entire group. The next thing I realize, Brolly unleashed a huge amount of 'ki' on the planet, huge energy projectiles crashed into the country side. It seemed like balls of comets crashing around me, their only goal is to ruin everything, to destroy life, and make sure it stayed destroyed. The rocket in which we came went up in a green fireworks display, pieces of it flying across the country side, as was the so called "palace" Paragus built.

     I continued to watch, as I noticed Brolly taking heavy, deep breaths. He could only look around, but as he did, he noticed Kakarot's son. He could only whisper as he charged up another one of his green projectile and firing off at the hanging Gohan. I was sure he would nothing more then scattered molecules, but to my surprise, another ball of energy had deflected it. It all happened in a split second, as I barely noticed it, for my fear continued to overcome me. I turned to see who or what had deflected that powerful blast, and standing on top of a post, was Piccolo, who came in a rocket when he overheard the conversation between Kakarot and King Kai.

     I continued standing on the mountain path that lead to the fake castle, not moving a muscle, to see what Piccolo's next move would be. The voice of Brolly echoed through the city saying, "Another bug has come to be crushed!"

     "Monster, I'm not the one will be crushed," was Piccolo's response as he flew off to give the hurting warriors the Sensu Beans he aquired back at Korin's Tower on Earth.

     Brolly only watched Piccolo head to where Gohan was hanging from and replied evily with an evil grin, "Monster?..... You're dead wrong. I am the devil!" He was right about one thing...... he was a devil. He was a devil that showed no mercy to anyone who stood in it's way. He was a devil who destroyed anything and everything as we went. Many innocent lives were lost, because this "devil" had wiped out the Southern Galaxy.

     Brolly's earth fearing laugh reign throughout the ruined city, as the last hopes for the universe quickly regained their strength with the power of the Sensu. With Kakarot fully healed, he, once again, unleashed a full offensive, but this time, with Piccolo's help. "Stop, it's no use!" I, once again, said. Kakarot and Piccolo were easily taken down, when I then saw Gohan and Trunks to the rescue, firing off an energy projectile simutaniously. I witnessed more of the action, from Kakarot getting beaten down again, to Piccolo attempting to take down the devil of the universe himself. I could only watch as Gohan and Trunks were pushed out of the way, and Brolly delivering Piccolo a present by kicking him hard in the stomach, which through him up in the air. A flash of green and Piccolo slammed into the cliff to near where I was standing. It was no use. I, again, fell to my knees, saying "We're going to be killed... he's the Legendary Super Saiyan...give up, you can't win!" The next thing I realize is Piccolo grabbing my hair and dragging me out to the battlefield. "We can't give up," he said, "We have to beat him or else he'll destroy the entire universe." "He's the Legendary Super Saiyan", was all I could say, "we can't win." Piccolo's face turned grim and he shouted, "I didn't realize how much your pride had rotted away. Get out of here, and never let me see you again!"

     That statement kept going through my ears. "Why are they still fighting?" I asked myself as I fell freely onto a building below, "Why?" I could only lay there and think about what Piccolo had said about my pride. Maybe that was the driving statemnt that made me come to my senses. Maybe that statement made me realize something that my pride would allow me to realize. I stood up, and heard Kakarot's loud voice shout, "Kamehameha!". The blast was no good. I continued to stand there as Brolly delievered another deathblow to Kakarot. I stood there as the ground shook from the fighting and the bright glare of the huge comet filling the sky, now only a short distance away. I looked out toward the city, only to call the team idiots for attempting a battle that could not be won. My pride finally caught up to me again. "If a low class warrior is fight, then so should I!" I lifted my hands in the air and shouted, "I AM VEGETA!!" I let out a scream, and instantly turned Super Saiyan and raced toward the battlefield. On the way, I saw Trunks getting up, and the joy on his face that I had regained my pride and was prparing to enter the battle. The question of whether or not I would return alive still went through my mind. If Kakarot is having a hard time trying to get a single hit off of him, then I won't have much luck, I though to myself. I flew faster and faster and Just down the pathway, though, stood the monstrous Tower of Destruction, Brolly....

     "I am Prince Vegeta! I will be your opponent!" Brolly just smiled, ready to battle, and remarked, "I will not let you die easily."

     I raced right up to him and started my assult. I kicked, punched, kicked, punched and repeated the pattern. The thought of fear had struck me for a split second, but then I continued my attacks. Nothing. No damage, no marks at all. Brolly grabbed me and slammed me into a huge wall, crushing my head into the wall in hopes of killing me. "Are you done yet?" he asked. I could only mumble out a cry of hatred, as he continued to push my head into the rock. He finally released me, and I came crashing down on the hard surface below. To this day, I can still hear his laugheter or his appearent victory. Then, there was a moment of silence. I could hear nothing. The great sound of peace was almost like a sign of the events soon to come. The silence was a symbol of peace, once again.

     The barrier of silence wouldn't last long. Kakarot's screams began to be heard again, and the sign of peace had quickly faded

     "There's nothing you can do.....Kakarot...." I said in a weak voice.

     I was too weak to even stand up at that point, much less fight the evil that was present. There was no hope left. Everyone was badly hurt, and Kakarot was quickly wearing out himself. We can only give up, I though to myself, there's nothing we nor anyone else can do to stop him. He's just too damn strong. I just laid on the ground, awaiting death from either the comet or the dark persence of Brolly. One way or the other, it was over and done with. For the first time, the forces of evil had triumphed over the forces of good. I wasn't even sure if a miracle could save us this time around, for Brolly was at least twice as strong as even Kakarot. Then, Piccolo came up with one final shot at defeating the monster of death once and for all..... to give Kakarot all of our energy.

     "I need your power.... give me POWER!" Kakarot shouted as he continued to do his best to hold out against Brolly's attacks for as long as possible.

     "Give...Son your power.." Piccolo replied, as he, Gohan and Trunks held out their palms to give Kakarot the power he needed to hopefully, finish off Brolly once and for all.

     Kakarot stood up from the latest attacks and shouted once again, "Give me POWER!"

     "Son....."
     "Father...."
     "Goku...."
     "Why.....why the hell should I help Kakarot?" That was a clear sign that my pride had returned. Why should I help a low class warrior? Why should I help Kakarot? What has he done for me? For what reason should I give my power away? I then heard the voices of the other fallen warrios.

     "Dad...." Trunks said as he struggled to give more of his power.

     "V.....Vegeta...." Piccolo replied as he layed on the ground, doing his best to give his power to Kakarot.

     "Please....." was what the son of Kakarot, Gohan, said. After some careful thinking, I knew what must be done. I finally was able to stand up and I said, "I can't beileve a prince would do this for a low class warrior..."

     "I need power. Give me POWER!"

     My pride got in the way for a short time again. "I AM VEGETA, THE PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS! WHY THE HELL SHOULD I DO ANYTHING FOR YOU? WHY!?!?!" The battle was drawing to a close, and Brolly moved in for the last punch. As he was ready to finish off Kakarot, I placed my hand out and gave my energy to Kakarot, and just in time also. Right as Brolly's huge fist came in contact, Kakarot blocked the punch and exploded with power. For the first time in this entire nightmare, fear struck the eyes of Brolly as Kakarot stood up, more powerful and full of energy then ever. "You think you can defeat me by taking their energies?" Brolly asked. The brief moment of fear had ended, and Brolly was once again laughing at the thought that he may acutally be beaten by Kakarot. Kakarot's voice soon was heard as he said, "I won't know until I try,". With Kakarot saying this, it was obvious that it was time for each warrior to release their final attack, and only one would come out alive. Brolly made his final charge at Kakarot, and Kakarot did the same. The speed of the two was incredible, and it seemed the last second of the battle was put into slow motion, as proof to the entire universe that good always triumphs over evil, that this strong evil force would finally be put to rest, and would never bother anyone ever again.

     "I have to destroy you. I absolutely have to destroy you!" Kakarot shouted, as he delivered the final blow. He gave a hard punch straight into Brolly's stomach, causing him to be propelled into the air, his blood of death spilling out as a symbol that his evil grip was no longer in charge, but that a stronger force had taken over, the force of good. I waited for Kakarot to completly finish off Brolly, but instead, the comet decided to come at the right time, and finished off Brolly itself. "We won! Our powers saved the day!" Kakarot shouted as he fell into into the crust of the planet. Even though we had won, it was obvious we were as good as dead anyway, for the comet ripped the planet into pieces, leaving no trace of it's existence anywhere. It all went black. It all seemed like it was the end of us. All of a sudden, light flashed right into my eyes, and I woke up in the rocket Piccolo had taken to the planet, with everyone, including Kakarot, his son, Krillin, the drunk old man, the citizens of the planet Shilamo who were used as slaved before this entire nightmare even began, for their planet was destroyed by Brolly himself.

     Peace had, once again, returned to the universe. There was no sign of evil anywhere, for as far as we could see. A miracle had surely happened on the ruined planet. We had defeated the most powerful foe that we've faced at that point in time. A foe, with a power level that was twice as much as even Kakarot's maximum. We all returned to the planet, Earth, and celebrated a glorious victory. The question that keeps going through my mind, even today, is, what really happened to Brolly? Is he really dead? Or, are we in for another surprise?

The End

Author's Note: Well, I hope you all enjoyed the fic. Some quick notes:

-Brolly DOES reappear, in two more movies.. He is offically destoryed in movie 10, but is brought back to life by genetic engineering as "Bio Brolly" in movie 11.
