Part 43: Special

Time Warp Travel: The Legend Reawakens

In the cold reaches of Space, a lone spaceship was making its way through the vast distance with no destination. On the side of the ship there was a double 'C' logo imprinted. On the inside, however, a shirtless young man with black hair was sitting on a chair drained of his energy. He hadn't eaten for three days. His provisions were depleted three days ago and there was not a planet in sight.

"Why did I have to leave?" he asked himself over and over again regretting his drastic decision, "I mean, I should have seen this coming. Where am I going to find a planet now?"

Looking out of a window, he saw the ship heading straight towards a spacestorm; purple clouds with lightning were sucking the ship in. A black hole could be distinguished behind it. Not even light could escape its immense blackness.

"Damn it! Why did the worst thing have to happen now?" he screamed as the turbulence began. He was smashed repeatedly against all of the walls, denting them in the process. His large weakened body unable to stay awake any longer, fell into a state of unconsciousness. The ship continued its forced change of course and disappeared all battered up into the black nothingness...

Three Hours Later...

*groan* "What happened?" he asked as he slowly opened his eyelids. He was staring at a bright light-purple sky with pink clouds. He turned his head to see more of his surroundings and realized he was lying inside of a house-like structure that had no roof. It was a dome without the top. There were a few strange furniture made from some strange metal. Aside from that, it looked like a normal house. The door opened and a blue woman with two antennas sprouting from her cheeks entered the room carrying a vase-like container containing a white liquid.

"Ah, I see you're awake," the young woman said as she laid the vase next to his bed, "Here, drink this. It will help you recover."

"Where am I?" the young man asked as he put the palm of his hand on his pulsing forehead.

"You are on Planet Corsola, my dear," the woman replied, "Now, drink this elixir. It's magical. It will not only restore you completely but also fill your stomach."

The man hesitated before slowly bringing the cold blue metal to his lips. He was surprised that the white liquid was warm and that it tasted sour-sweet, just like lemonade. All of his sleep disappeared from his eyes and all of his small scratch wounds were healed. On top of that, his seemingly bottomless pit of a stomach was completely filled, which was a strange feeling he never experienced in his life.

"I can tell you're not Corsalian by the way you look and also by the fact that I recovered you from a crashed spaceship. Do you remember anything? Your name, pehaps?" the woman questioned.

"Urgh, yeah, my name is Broly. I remember going through some kind of black hole. How long have I been out?"

"Nearly three hours. It looks like you hit your head hard. It doesn't look to be the first time you did, though. Also, you seemed to have some weird burn mark on your forehead. Of course all of the above mentioned wounds have been healed due to the elixir but I was just curious."

"Well, I seem to hit my head quite often, I believe. Some people told me I forgot everything but my name and another name; Kakarot. I learned a bit about my past but not everything. I am now traveling the universe to seek a purpose in life. Speaking of traveling, how's my spaceship? Is it a total wreck?"

"No, just a few holes here and there and of course a few dents but from the inside out. It appeared to have landed on its side but the landing gear seemed to be in perfect condition. A few of us lifted it back upright. After some repairs it should be ready."

"That's awfully kind of you. You people are so generous."

"Well, this is but a village but we possess some technology here. The main city is filled with corruption and soldiers. The only reason that I can think of is that they're planning an invasion of some kind. Why else would they need all of those troops? There are many villages scattered around the planet. We are all well hidden so it's not easy to find a village. We did that to protect ourselves from Lord Slug and his troops. Once a year he sends his troops to look for orange spheres scattered around the planet. Once he finds them, the sky turns dark for a couple of minutes and then turns back normal. No one knows the purpose of these search parties but if you come across one of these orange spheres in the wild, you must run for your life. If they find you with one in your possession, they'll kill you."

"Orange spheres? And you have no idea what they're for? Who IS this Slug person you're so afraid of?"

"He came here approximately 10 years ago. Everyone knows he forged those orange spheres. Why they're scattered every year is a mystery. We have no contact with the city inhabitants. They are nothing but trouble. Once Slug sent a spy to one of the villages and had it destroyed. He is incredibly strong. No one can stand up to him."

"Well, he can't be THAT strong. I'll see if I can take him on if I were to ever cross paths with him. I bet I won't have any trouble killing him. That is the least I can do to pay back your kindness."

"Y-you don't have to, sweetheart. I don't want to see you get hurt."

"I promise you I won't. Ever since three days ago, I've been having the strange dreams and when I wake up, a power surges through my body. I have no idea why this is happening to me. The only event that has happened recently was the mind control device they told me I was controlled with. I hope to find out the truth somehow without relying on those who saved me from my father's control. I don't like to depend on others and forever be in debt to them. I want to do everything myself and on my own."

"I understand, Broly, but you should think about your safety first. You shouldn't go out there without thinking. The sharpest mind can overcome the strongest muscles."

"Those are wise words you just said there. I never got your name, though."

"It's Sharia," the young woman said extending a finger.

"Um..." Broly said confused, "What do I have to do with that?"

"That's the way we greet people we meet. We touch the tip of our fingers together."

"Oh... Ok," he said as he extended his finger as well and they proceeded to 'greet'.

"I asked the others to help me restore your spaceship and figure out what kind of fuel it uses. It would be really embarrassing if you were to run out of fuel in the middle of nowhere Space."

"Yeah, tell me about it."

An akward silence descended upon them. Sharia was twisting her foot out of shyness for this kind young man sitting in front of her on the bed. She decided to pull in her cheek antennas to look just like him. This prompted a question from Broly.

"What did you just do?" he asked.

"Oh, you mean my antennas. Whenever we have them out, our senses are heightened and we can use it to communicate with other Corsalians who also possess antennas. Not every Corsalian is the same. Our planet is populated by different species. We are the native race here. Until Slug came along, Corsola belonged to us."

"That explains it," Broly said as a shiver ran through his body, "Why is it so cold here?"

"It's always like this," Sharia answered, "We are surrounded by three distant suns that are too far away to provide the heat you are accustomed to. They do provide the entire planet with weak light, however. It's always dusk, dawn or twilight here."

"That means there are no werewolves here, huh," Broly joked with a smirk.

"Um... What are those?" Sharia asked with a serious face.

"I... Um... Never mind," Broly said as he diverted his head to avoid embarrassment.

An explosion suddenly shook the house dramatically. Sounds of ki blast were raging at the outskirts of the village. Sharia started to panic.

"What's wrong?" Broly asked alerted.

"It's Slug's men!" she yelled in fear, "They found the village! I think it's because of your spaceship. We should have moved the moment you crashed here," she cursed herself.

"Don't think of it that way," Broly said ashamed, "I'll take care of this for you."

Broly rushed out of the house without waiting for an answer. At the edge of the village grounds a few warriors from the village were fighting off the Slug soldiers.

"Broly, don't!" Sharia yelled as she pursued the tall warrior but it was in vain. He already arrived at the battlefield. Focusing on what Goku has managed to teach him in the short timespan he was on Earth, Broly entered a custom battle position ready to fend off enemy attack. Immediately a massive horde of soldiers rushed towards the full-blooded Saiyan Warrior with the intention to kill. Using basic manuevers, Broly dodged every single attack except the last which was a well-aimed punch to his left cheekbone. Slowly cocking his head back into its regular position, Broly emanated a growl.

"Was that your best punch?" he challenged. Before the soldier could answer with a smirk, smart-ass comment and a more powerful punch, Broly countered with a skull-denting fist doing exactly what its adjective described it could do.

"BROLY!" Sharia screamed from afar drenched in blood and being mishandled by a soldier. This caused something inside the innocent Saiyan to snap. A surge of power coursed through his body as he leapt forward creating a huge crater where his foot pushed off the ground.

"GRAAAAAAH!" he screamed as he elbowed the soldier in the face with such force that its head rolled off leaving him lifeless. "Are you alright, Sharia?" Broly asked concerned.

"Yeah... A little... He cut my left arm open. Other than that..." Sharia was interrupted by an explosion. The soldiers retreated to make way for a higher rank of soldiers capable of ki control.

"No! It's the Rangers!" she screamed out in fear, "They are a higher class of soldiers. Quick! We have to escape. They are stronger than our warriors."

"Stay here and hide, Sharia," Broly said confident, "I'll be right back."

"No! Broly, you are not a match to them. We HAVE to leave!"

"I don't want to hear it. I can't let innocent lives be taken while something can be done about it. Trust me, I'll get rid of those...vermins," Broly said, his eyes glowing green at the last word he uttered. Faster than Sharia's eyes could register, he rushed over to the edge of the village going all out on the Rangers.

"GRAAAAH!" He let out a battle cry as he smashed two heads together smashing them to bits. A deep anger rose up from inside him as he slaughtered the Rangers to the astonishment of the Corsalian warriors present. On the verge of losing control of his anger, it was somehow replaced by a group of emotions he never felt before. He felt a deep sorrow which was a late reaction to seeing Sharia wounded in front of him. He felt responsible for the Corsalian who helped him even though she knew his arrival would draw the attention of Slug, the mystery man of who he will soon have to face. Last but not least, a feeling washed over him that was neither sadness or anger. He felt he had accepted his fate, the fate he had copied from Kakarot, the one he can't seem to forget. The one who is the reason of his reasoning. That last emotion was serenity, the cousin of acceptance, sorrow and anger, the most powerful of all.

"W-what happened?" he asked as he opened his eyes. There were dead soldiers lying all around him and his hands were soaked in blue blood.

"Did you see that?" one of the Corsalian warriors whispered to the other, "He fought them and killed them all with his eyes closed!"

"Yeah, I did!" the other answered, "Did you see his hair turn blue while he did that? Now it's turned back to black but I swear his hair was blue."

"Maybe you were hallucinating, man."

"Broly! Are you alright?" Sharia said worried as she approached the battlefield. Her arm was bandaged in the meantime soaking up all her blood giving it a red tint.

"I-I..." was all he could manage to say before he collapsed on his knees crying. "I killed those soldiers!"

"There was nothing you could have done to save them," she said kneeling down next to him. "They were working for Slug and wouldn't blink once before killing us all. You did the right thing."

"Kakarot told me to try and spare instead of killing. He told me that everyone had a choice."

"That Kakarot seems to be a wise man. What he's saying is true. But sometimes there is only one option left that you are forced to take."

"One option, huh?" he asked clenching his fists. "Well, I guess I will take it... willingly."

~Slug's Stronghold~

"What do you mean you lost communication with the Rangers?" Slug asked angrily as he pierced the messenger's chest with a yellow beam of death. He motioned a servant to clean up the dead pile of flesh lying before him. "You there!" he yelled. "I want to know who that alien is who conveniently landed near one of those villages filled with annoying vermins and I want him DEAD! Do you understand?!"

Being frozen in fear without responding caused him to join the messenger as well.

"Man! I feel like we go through soldiers like copy paper! You! I assume you heard what I told that last moron? Carry out my orders, NOW!"

The next soldier immediately rushed out the castle before being murdered for the same reason as his colleague.

"You!" Slug ordered again, "Have a search party ready. It's time..."

"Yes, sir!" he answered as he too rushed out of the building.

"I swear one day I'll exterminate all of these useless soldiers myself," he muttered. "Only the strong must remain in this new world I'm creating. Then I'll take Namek by force and show them all the might of Lord Slug!" Slug let out an evil laugh that echoed through the room striking fear in the servants present.

"Oh really?" a cold voice said from behind him. The room suddenly turned colder than it already was and a dark fog descended choking all of the servants in the room except for Slug.

"Who are you?!" Slug shouted as he mowed his hands around him to thin the fog.

"I am... The one who brings chaos to this world." An ice cold chuckle filled the room that even made the great Slug shiver in a hint of fear.

"That doesn't explain shit! Who the hell are you and what are you doing here?! Answer me NOW!"

"Heh heh heh, straight to the point now, are we? If you want to know so badly, I shall humour you..."

"Well?! Tell me!" Slug yelled a bit annoyed while still scouring the room for any signs of movement.

"I... am known as Shade... And I... have commited a major sin." With that he filled the room with a diabolical laugh that shook the foundations of the stronghold making Slug fall over from the quake.

"The hell do you want with me?! You have a death wish, Shade?!" Slug asked gathering some false courage. He could not sense any energy present in this room but he could still feel the heavy chill pushing down on his shoulders.

"Death wish, you ask?" the voice resumed, "I am immortal. I own death. Death bows down to me like a little crybaby. Death obeys me like a little puppy. In the end, I will always have Death crying... like a bitch." Another even more diabolical laugh emenated from this mysterious character.

"I don't see what's so funny, you...you..." Slug was at a loss for words. He had no idea what Shade was and who he was dealing with. All he knew was a name and a mysterious presence that darkened the room and lowered the temperature.

"You what?" Shade asked. "You devil? I AM the most qualified for that part after all." He burst in yet another fit of evil laughter.

"You are really starting to piss me off with that laugh of yours, whatever you are. What is your business with me?"

Shade cut his laugh short and resumed his speech. "Alright then, you want business? Let's get down to business. I see you crave power, unimaginable power, unrivaled power, unlimited power, power not obtainable no matter how hard someone trains." Shade paused for a few seconds to let his statement sink in the mind of the power hungry Namekian who was drooling over the idea. "It's needless to say that I can give you that power since I mentioned it in the first place. What's the use of mentioning your hunger for power if I can't fulfill it?" That last part was more directed to himself than Slug.

"Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, power... I can supply you with as much power as you want but I've got to warn you, first of all, there is a price. Second of all, this planet has become my prison. A being higher than me is proceeding with a sealing process as we speak which should take quite a long time. The first few seals allow for organic life forms to escape off the planet so you shouldn't worry about those..."

"You are being imprisoned on this planet?!" Slug asked in astonishment.

"Indeed," the voice said a bit annoyed of being interrupted. "I've been...a naughty boy." He let out a cackle only to be interrupted by an annoyed Slug.

"Very well," he continued, "I can supply you with power...IF and only IF...you relinquish the ownership of the Dragon Balls over to me."

"Are you kidding me?" Slug retorted. "Do you even have a physical body, you smart-ass? Without that I can't give you shit! What a well-thought out plan you have there."

"Don't provoke me, Slug," Shade said in an ice cold voice as he thickened the fog around Slug giving him a hard time breathing. "As for a physical body, I can fashion one out of nothing because I possess the power of Creation. It could take some time but we can hold up your end of the bargain in the meantime."

"Yes... YES! This is amazing!" Slug screamed as he was being filled with the power of darkness. His power rose three times its maximum. "I feel...invincible!"

"You're anything but, Slug. This is only a fraction of my power I bestowed upon you. If you behave like a good boy, I'll give you more. I'll stay in touch with you. I have an entire planet to consume."

The fog suddenly vanished from the room blinding Slug with the weak light shining in through a window. Slug charged an energy ball in his right hand and admired the dark pulsing energy floating inches away from his face. This was not the regular yellow colored energy he was so familiar with. His energy reached a new level of intensity. "Nothing can stop me now," he bellowed as he let out a cackle.

~Meanwhile at the Corsalian Village~

"D-do you sense that?!" Sharia asked with a shaky voice before Broly could take off. The latter too felt the strong presence consuming the planet slowly.

"I... Is this the one you call Slug?" Broly questioned without turning around.

"N-no," Sharia answered a bit pale. "This...is something way more...evil. I have never sensed something like this before in my life."

"Well, I can't sense a power level from this...thing so I don't know if it's alive or even a threat. I will go after Slug and take care of him like I planned. If whatever I'm sensing right now engages me in battle, I will take care of him too." Broly blasted off as soon as he finished his sentence leaving Sharia all alone watching his energy trail.

"Please be careful," she said softly as a tear ran over her left cheek. She was inwardly praying for Broly's safety as she turned around to return to her home. She needed to ingest a dose of elixir to heal her wounds and take a well deserved rest.

Flying at an incredible high speed was none other than Broly. He was determinated to fulfill his mission and end Slug's tyranny once and for all. Something piqued his interest in mid-flight, though. A dark purple cloud was slowly spreading over the usually light-pink skies of Corsola darkening acres of acres of ground beneath it. Broly shot underneath the cloud and continued his way to the capital where he sensed a massive power residing. The sudden drop of temperature made him increase his energy output to keep him warm during the flight.

Moments later a green ball of light landed in front of Slug's Stronghold. An alarm went off in the control/throne room of the evil Namekian.

"What is the meaning of that ungodly sound?!" Slug asked the replacements attending the security system controls.

"It... It's an intruder, my lord! I... I believe it's the mystery man who slaughtered the Ranger Force."

"You THINK or you KNOW?!" Slug asked in a dangerous voice.

"I...I... Sir? It can't be determined at this point of time."

"I need an ANSWER!" Slug screamed as he killed the operator with a Dark Finger Beam. "YOU! Is it him?"

The operator immediately turned pale when he saw Slug's gloved finger pointing at him. He mustered the only sentence he knew could save him now. "Y...Y...Yes, sir. It's him... It's certainly him!"

"Thank you," he said as he turned around, "That's all I wanted to hear." Pointing his finger behind him, he blindly executed the servant right after he soothed his mind with relief after hearing Slug's appreciation. He died before he had a chance to change his face into a mixture of confusion and fear.

"Someone prepare my helmet," Slug ordered to no one in particular, "I'm going to take care of this maggot myself. Who does he think he is to invade my planet and kill my men? I'll show that vermin who's the boss around here." A random and anonymous servant handed over his helmet and proceeded to compliment him of his stunning and handsome look. "Why thank you, soldier number 176. I'm glad someone finally recognized my true beauty. You just might receive a promotion."

"T-thank you, sir! But actually it's number 167, my lord."

That last sentence, which coincidentially was his last sentence, prompted a hole through the soldier's chest. "Some people are so ungrateful," Slug said in a disgusted tone, "They don't even appreciate a compliment these days. Immediately thereafter they want to complain. *scoff* Did he think I couldn't see his number was 176...or wait... Whatever, he's probably wearing the wrong armor anyway. I specifically remember personally giving him 176 so HA! I can't possibly be wrong about that! That idiot must have changed his number to 167 to prove me wrong. I am NEVER wrong."

With that being said, Slug was slowly walking towards the entrance of the castle in a prideful manner. He now possessed great power and was not afraid to show it...show it...show it..show it...

"I'm evil and you know it," Slug finished the song before destroying the speakers above the entrance of the building with just a flash of his eyes thus shutting up the narrator. "Man, I hate that song," he sighed as he pushed open the castle doors. A tall bare-chested young man with black hair was patiently waiting outside with his arms crossed and his gaze fixated unto the ground.

"Hey, YOU!" Slug yelled as he pointed at the Saiyan. "Who the hell are you and what is your business on MY planet?"

Broly did not utter one word as his gaze was still fixated downwards not listening to the tyrant who in the meantime exposed himself by stepping outside.

"Are you even listening to me, imbecile?!" Slug shouted angry of being ignored by this stranger. "I have better things to do so you better speak up. I don't want to kill you if you had nothing to do with the Rangers... Oh wait, now that I think about it, I don't really care!" Slug fired a Dark Finger Beam at the object of his fury and watched in horror as the stranger deflected his beam like it was nothing. This caused a strong feeling of anger to rise in the otherwise...angry Namekian.

"This power! I've been duped! That shady character must have sold me lies! He thought he could steal my Cyanuro away from me?!"

"Slug... You will fall by my hands," Broly finally uttered in a dangerously low voice. Having super hearing, Slug managed to captur every single word.

"Oh, will I now? You think you are strong enough to defeat the might Lord Slug?"

"Think? I don't think so. I KNOW so." Broly flashed an angry look as his pupils changed into indigo colored spheres.

"We'll see about that!" Slug yelled as he rushed forward cracking the ground beneath him. Broly started off the same way and moments later they clashed in the middle.

A fast motion fight ensued where both fighters ascended and vanished only to appear and disappear again at different locations leaving a sonicboom behind. An elbow to the face caused Slug to be hurled back thus breaking the clash. To Slug's amazement, the stranger's hair seemed to have turn blue.

"The hell are you?! Are you one of those troublesome youth that are into the occult or some shit like that? When did you dye your hair blue? I could have sworn it was black!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Broly asked in a calm voice. "My hair is not blue, it's aqua."

"That's the same shit!" Slug yelled as he snapped. He lunged forward with the plan to punch Broly in the face but his fist was caught in mid-air. Another feeble attempt to punch him was also halted when he caught his other fist. The result of that was Slug using his Darkness Eye Beam which exploded in Broly's face. To say he was surprised and caught off guard was an understatement.

"How DARE you mess with the almighty Lord S..." That phrase was lost when Broly slammed both his fist down on his back causing him to spin out of control for a few seconds before regaining his balance.

"You are REALLY starting to piss me off, you! Where the hell is Shade when you need him?"

"You called?" an ice cold voice echoed behind him. He turned around just in time to see ribbons of black cloth whirling around in the air forming a figure covered in a thick cloak. "I think it's time for you to hold up YOUR end of the bargain now that I created a body. If you do that, I'll make you stronger seeing as of how you are getting your ass handed to you."

"Damn right! Get the hell over here!"

Broly could only watch in confusion as the cloaked figure touched the Namekian Slug awakening a dark power inside of Slug, twice as powerful as he was before.

"Here's your stupid ownership for the dragon," Slug managed to say with a grin as he touched the shady character and proceeded to rush at Broly with massively bulging muscles. Realizing it too late, Broly was hurled to the ground only to be pounded into it by long green arms. Following the arms to the ground was Slug. He continued to pound the downed Saiyan with his foot while laughing maniacally. Just as he was lowering his foot again, he was met by an invisible resistance.

"GRAAAAH!" Broly yelled as he burst out of the ground increasing his energy to a whole new level. His aura was flaring green as he leapt forward and downed Slug with a downward punch causing him to be buried in the ground this time. Broly ascended and unleashed a barrage of green energy balls toward his downed opponent. "HYAAAH!" he yelled with every release as he threw more and more spheres to the ground at Slug's last known location. Finally he stopped to admire his work. That was easier said than done since a large dust cloud covered the area. Having had enough and remembering Goku's story of sparing his opponents, he turned around to leave only to sense a spike in Slug's energy. The ground was trembling and emanated a low growling sound as a yellow lump was slowly growing into a massive...lump. It turned out to be Slug's tunic as he slowly stood up and was face to f...body with the shocked Saiyan.

"Heh heh heh," he laughed. "You really think I was done for with those puny green things you call energy balls? HA! Pathetic! You left me no other choice but to transform. Feel the wrath of Lord Slug!"

"Don't you think you talk too much?" Broly asked calmly. This only served to enrage him even more. He opened his mouth wide and before Broly knew what was about to happen, he was engulfed by an gigantic yellow beam of destruction. With his body hurting all over, he was dragged a few miles before crashing on the outskirts of the city followed by a huge explosion. Coming from afar was a giant Slug ready for more.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Slug jeered as he peered into the crater his Darkness Blaster created. Broly was lying there face down with bruises and burn marks all over his torso. His hair reverted to its black form and he was motionless. Slug just simply reached out with his hand and plucked him like a vegetable. He held him up by his right foot and was staring at him upside down.

"Not so tough now, are we?" Slug teased again. "Now, what to do with this piece of garbage? I know! I will eat you alive! How's THAT for a solution to my problems? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

Slug continued to laugh diabolically as he brought the drowzy half unconscious Saiyan to his mouth. He tilted his head back to let his victim slide into his mouth when a white energy wave struck him in his right eye causing him to drop the Saiyan and scream of pain.

"AAAAAARGH! Who the hell did that?! I will murder you!" Slug shouted while tending his eye.

"You assassin!" Sharia yelled weakened by the only output of energy her body could support. She was barely holding the flask of elixir she brought with her to the battlefield. "I'm not letting you kill Broly. You'll have to go over my dead body."

"Well, I'm flexible," Slug replied as he grabbed Sharia by the hair causing her to scream in pain. This caused her to drop the metal flask into the crater below where Slug dropped the critically wounded Saiyan. "What do we have here, a Corsalian chick? You'll make a nice appetizer."

"Let me go, you overgrown plant!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. This caused Broly to regain his consciousness. Totally weakened, he scoured his surroundings only to find the flask within reach. He reached for it and removed the cap. A quick sniff comfirmed his suspicions. It was the elixir. He drank it all down in one gulp and felt his power returning. He looked straight up to see Sharia dangling by her hair and screaming for help.

"No one is going to help you now, sugar, honey bear, sweet and sour chick-en, sweetie pie, garlic bread, ooh, you're making me hungry. I wonder what you'll taste like."

Down at the ground Broly was struck by an uncontrollable rage at seeing the one he developed feelings for hanging by her hair ready to be eaten by the giant monster. His muscles bulged out more than usual and his ki was rising to unimaginable heights. He was charging up at an incredible rate and his energy was shaking the very planet beneath him. This caught Slug's attention as he felt an incredible force pushing him away. He looked down to see the bulged up Saiyan and a huge area covered by the lime-green ki he was emanating. Broly's eyes turned white as his hair was changing from blue to bright yellow. More locks of hair were growing out of his hair and finally he finished charging with a kiai cannon pushing everything away causing the giant to fall on his bottom.

"W-what are you?" he asked with a hint of fear seeing that only his energy was needed to swipe him off his feet. "DIE!" Slug yelled as he punched the Saiyan in the ground... Or rather, that was what he intended to do. Broly disappeared into his knuckle like a needle through an arm. He shot through his arm and exited at his shoulder.

"You MONSTER! Darkness Eye Beam!" Slug uttered as he aimed his eye lasers at the grinning Saiyan. He just flared his aura to deflect the beams.

"A monster?" he asked with a low growling voice, "No... I'm the devil!" An evil smirk washed over Broly's face as he rushed towards the face of the Giant. He charged up a green energy sphere in his right hand which lit the area bright green before condensing.

"You are hungry for power?" Broly asked grinning, "Well, eat this." Broly dropped the ball in Slug's mouth which proceeded to burn it's way to the center of his body. A green glow emanated from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Before Slug exploded, Broly fought the devil that took control of his body that was a residue belonging to this form. He managed to gain temporary control of his body which he used to grab the Corsalian woman rolled up in a fetal position and escaped the area. The explosion hurled the duo a few yards away making Broly lose control of his flight and crash onto the barren ground of a field.

"B-Broly, you saved me!" Sharia stammered with tears of joy flowing down her cheeks. Broly moved back clearly straining. "What's wrong?" Sharia asked a little scared now.

"GRRAAAAAAAAH!" Broly yelled as a new volley of energy unleashed from his body. Both his mind and his body were losing control; his body primarily because it was being controlled by two versions of Broly: The New Innocent version and the Old Forgotten Evil version that resurfaced with the Legendary Super Saiyan Form.

"Broly," she said frightened. "You're scaring me. P-please stop."

"YAAAAAH!" he yelled as he was clutching his head and collapsed on the ground. But he didn't stop there. He continued rolling around the floor screaming out in pain. "K-K-KAK... KAKA...ROT! KAKAROT!"

"C-calm down, Broly, please. Don't do this. I know it's still you. You are not this monster standing in front of me."

Suddenly Broly snapped back on his feet. He turned his head around slowly and looked at Sharia with an ice cold glare.

"Monster? No... I'm ThE DEVIL!" he said with an evil smirk as he proceeded to close the distance between them. Sharia's face had a look of horror when she raised her arms, frightened about what would become of her. She did not know her crush had a dark side and she thought she would never have a chance to know because it would be over by then.

Seconds passed by, seconds which seemed like minutes to her. Only then she dared to open her eyes. Broly was lying face-up unconscious and looked like he was in a nightmare. He was restless in his sleep and was twisting on the ground. Apparently his good side managed to shut him down before he had a chance to harm Sharia. Sharia was still frozen by fear watching Broly fight with himself. She regained control of her body and decided to leave the area and flee from the unstable powerhouse in front of her. She walked away but turned around one last time with her face drenched with tears.

"Broly, I'm sorry," were here last words before she ran away as fast as she could leaving a dust trail behind.

~Moments Later~

Slug woke up in the same crater he presumably exploded in. He groaned as he suddenly realized his entire lower body was gone. He reverted back to his normal form while he was unconscious and was not so stocked with energy anymore. He used his last bit of energy to regenerate his lower body and ripped off the remainder of his tunic to cover his lower area. This way he could walk into his stronghold in an orderly fashion without being seen naked by his henchmen.

Half an hour later he arrived at his destination. He strolled through the front door all beaten up and proceeded to return to his room.

"What the hell are all of you still standing around for?! Get me another set of clothes at once!" he commanded his servants. "YOU! Prepare the spaceship. We're leaving this rock."

"Y-y-yes, sir!" he replied only to be killed by a yellow beam.

"I hate people who stutter," Slug mumbled. "YOU! Get on with the preparations, already! Gather all soldiers and have them all sit in the cafetaria. I want this thing in Space in 5 minutes."

"Roger, sir!" the soldier replied as he strutted off to do his bidding.

"Now THAT'S an examplary soldier right there," he said to everyone present in the control room. "You can all learn a thing or two from him."

Five miinutes later the top of the castle crumbled off. The entire castle was shaking as a large purple circular spaceship was trying to ascend from within the castle. It appears the castle was built around the spaceship when Slug decided to settle down. Half a minute later the spaceship shot up and proceeded to leave the planet's orbit at a high speed. Inside of the control room, Slug felt some invisible force pulling him by the leg; a cold hand.

"I see you are leaving," Shade said telepathically.

"Yes, I am leaving. What are you going to do about it?" Slug retorted. "I'm not staying any longer on this useless rock."

"I'm not going to do anything," Shade said in a cold voice. "I just came to tell you one last thing before you leave."

"And what is that?"

"My energy cannot leave the seal around the planet meaning that once you leave, you'll revert back to the power level you had before we met. You'll be on your own."

"I don't care as long as I get the hell out of here!"

"Suit yourself... I was going to tell you earlier to leave the planet otherwise you will be trapped here forever but it seems that you already came up with a plan of your own."

"Wait... So I was going to have to leave no matter what? That means you set me up! You gave me that energy knowing I can't leave the planet with it?!"

A dark evil laugh filled Slug's head. "HA! But of course! And now that I have your Dragon as well, you may leave."

"You double-crossing piece of sh-..." was all Slug could shout out before a massive force pulled him down. All of the energy was flowing out of his body so all he could do was scream. After he recovered and stood back up, he felt his own energy coursing through his body.

"We have left Planet Corsola's orbit, my lord," a soldier dared to say.

"No shit, genius!" was his reply followed by a regular yellow Finger Beam through his chest. All of his dark powers have been filtered through the invisible field surrounding the planet's orbit.

"I need some more recruits," Slug barked. "Get me to the nearest planet."

~ Two Hours Later~

Broly woke up from a troubled dream. He was lying on his back inside of a crater staring at a dark purple sky not knowing what happened. His body reverted back to normal and he was in total control.

"*groan* What happened?" he asked hoping Sharia could answer that question. "Sharia? Where are you?" Broly looked around but no trace could be found. He stood up and scoured the area but to no avail. He ascended into the air and continued screming her name while scouring the area until he flew over another even larger crater spotting a shiny object lying on the ground. He picked it up to discover the flask with elixir he had drunk before. He blasted off and moments later he arrived at the village.

"Sharia! Sharia, where are you?" Broly screamed only to hear his voice echo through the empty houses. He then saw silhouetted of many Corsalians on the ground; shadows of the ones he knew as the villagers. He looked around but could not find the casters of the shadows. He plucked a piece of grass to see if the shadows were burn marks instead but it turned out to be a perfectly healthy pink piece of grass. Broly could not find any explanations for these unmanned shadows on the ground.

He rushed over to Sharia's house to find a shadow lying on her bed and what seemed to be a few tears on the metal surface of it. This made him produce his own set of tears.

"S-Sharia?" he said through tears of sorrow, "What happened, Sharia?" He touched the teardrops and brought them to his face. He could vaguely recognize the shadow on the bed due to her wild hair spread where the head should be. He broke down crying a cry of a broken man. He felt he could not live anymore.

After hours of crying he stood up. He looked everywhere and finally found a strand of red hair belonging to the one he knew as Sharia. He flew out of the building through the open roof and spotted his spaceship on the other side of town. He entered it and sat down at the controls. After pressing a few buttons, he closed the hatch and blasted off to Space.

"Sharia... I will find out what happened to you... I will take my revenge on whoever is responsible. That is a promise."

Pushing through the dark clouds covering the planet, he shot out of the planet's orbit. Up ahead he spotted some dark purple clouds indicating a spacestorm. He manuevered his ship directly at it and closed his eyes.

"Kakarot... I'm coming back to you..."

End of Part 43

Author's End Notes: I hope you enjoyed this special chapter. It saddens me that it had to end this way. I know I'm the one who wrote it and could have chosen a different and happier ending but... I didn't. This was part of Broly's character development and Slug's history.

Slug: It seemed a very logical and comical history, didn't it? I had to think about his backstory and how he would fit in canon. This happened before he gathered his team of elite freaks with the weird powers, as you can see. Now you also know that he was the original owner of the dragon I named Cyanuro and you've finally gotten acquaintanced with the main OC villain of this story.

Shade: I'm not divulging more info than what I already told you in this special. He was banned by a higher being you can all presume is The Creator and this happened 30 years from when Broly traveled through time. It's a being of pure evil with the power of Creation. He was The Creator's helper after Destiny left. Creator called him into existence for company and assistance...

Broly: Broly needed a purpose to live and I'd say he found it. I lost track of the reason I wrote this special only to find out I actually fulfilled that reason at the end. Assuming the spacestorm and black hole behind him will take him back to the future (which I can assure you it will. I'm not that evil), he'll fight for the one he knew as Sharia, the one he developed feelings for.

Aside from that, he is unable to control his Legendary Super Saiyan Form which seems to bring out the demon he used to be. I quoted his phrase from Broly Second Coming where someone (presumably Videl) said he was a monster where in his turn corrected her and said he was a devil. I used that to indicate his old evil self and that still resides somewhere inside him and only is released when he transforms into his Legendary transformation.

All in all, it was the most in-depth, emotional and touching 'story' I have written. I hope I didn't make you cry (I secretly hope I did). And I hope you'll await the next installment of this storyline.
