"Fine then — I'll just finish you off," Frieza said idly, and a ball of crackling energy began to gather at the tip of his finger. He was ready to end this.
"AAAARGH!"
But Broly suddenly erupted — roaring as energy exploded off him in violent waves.
"AH!"
Broly shot his arm out, grabbed Frieza's tail, and sank his teeth into it.
"OWWW—!"
Frieza let out a shriek so undignified it was almost comical, his expression twisting into something genuinely startled.
Before Frieza could even process what had happened, Broly had his tail in both hands again and was swinging his body around in every direction with renewed ferocity.
Frieza was completely thrown.
What is going on?
How is this monkey's power spiking again?
He's actually surpassing my Second Form now.
How?!
THUD! THUD! THUD!
Broly pummelled Frieza again, and then wrapped his hand back around his throat, hoisting him high into the air.
Frieza blinked.
I was taller than him. How is he holding me up?
Frieza looked down — the monkey was floating off the ground, that's how.
You really love this move, don't you.
CRACK!
Broly drove two more heavy slaps across Frieza's face and hurled him into the ground.
Frieza: "..."
Frieza dragged himself back up.
Is this just round two now? You hit me, then I hit you, then you hit me again?
We've been cycling through the same moves.
But at this point, Frieza didn't have the luxury of caring. He immediately shifted into his Fourth Form.
"Alright — playtime is over," Frieza said, his eyes flooding with killing intent.
Broly froze for just a moment, genuinely not expecting this lizard to keep evolving.
Whoosh!
Frieza was done taking his time. He barely raised a finger, and a streak of blazing red light shot from the tip, screaming toward Broly at blistering speed.
Broly's pupils contracted. His expression shifted through several changes at once.
In the split second it mattered, Broly opened his mouth wide and a tremendous blast of energy erupted from it, meeting Frieza's attack head-on and swallowing it whole.
The energy from Broly's mouth cannon kept going, continuing straight toward Frieza.
Frieza's expression went ugly in an instant. He spread his hand wide, trying to brace against Broly's blast.
But the moment Frieza's palm made contact with Broly's energy, the sheer force of the impact hit him like a wall.
"What—?!" Frieza's eyes went wide with shock.
It was already too late.
BOOOOOM!
With a thunderous crash that shook the planet, Frieza took a direct hit from Broly's mouth cannon at full force.
Energy engulfed Frieza entirely, erupting into a massive mushroom cloud.
The shockwave from the blast levelled everything in every direction it swept through.
Off to the side, Paragus was completely frozen with shock.
When the dust finally settled, Frieza's battered silhouette emerged.
Frieza was smoking all over — and the distinct smell of charred flesh was drifting from his body.
"You rotten— you filthy monkey!" Frieza trembled with rage, his expression twisting darker with every second.
In that moment, Frieza felt something in Broly's relentlessness that reminded him viscerally of Goku on Namek.
Back then he hit me with an energy blast just like that and left me singed all over.
Saiyan monkeys are disgusting — every single one of them.
I will wipe the entire Saiyan race from existence.
Frieza clenched his fists, body shaking, murder burning even brighter in his eyes.
But before Frieza could react, Broly was already on him again, screaming toward him at full speed.
Frieza blinked — and noticed that Broly's body had grown. Larger than before. Taller, broader, more massive.
What's happening?
Do Saiyans have a transformation like this?
I've never seen it.
And truly, Frieza had never witnessed this from Broly before.
To be precise, Broly hadn't actually transformed — he had simply tapped into the power of the Great Ape.
CRACK!
Broly's fist came down like a hammer, and Frieza went flying.
Frieza reeled, genuinely shaken.
My Fourth Form can't handle this monkey?
Through what had just happened, Frieza could clearly feel it — his power was still significantly below Broly's.
Frieza felt genuinely wretched.
I'm the reborn Frieza!
Fine, I can't beat Goku — but I can't even deal with this monkey?
And he hasn't even transformed into a Super Saiyan!
The frustration was suffocating.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
Broly chased him down and went on another rampage.
Frieza was screaming with every hit.
Broly's expression was cold and detached — even slightly contemptuous. His face seemed to be saying exactly what he hadn't said out loud: When you were beating me, I didn't make a sound.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
Broly kept going.
Frieza's screams rang out without pause.
In that moment, Frieza knew with absolute clarity — if he didn't go Golden, this creature was going to beat him to death right here.
Frieza kicked out hard, using the recoil to put distance between himself and Broly.
Then Frieza threw his head back — and activated his Golden form.
"Monkey — it's time to end this!" Frieza said, his killing intent more intense than ever. He launched himself at Broly and unleashed a furious all-out assault.
In moments, Broly was overwhelmed, unable to mount any defence.
"STOP! Both of you, stop fighting!" Paragus cried out from the side, desperate. "Lord Frieza — we share a common enemy! King Vegeta banished both me and Broly to this place! I hate him more than anything — I want revenge!"
"Ho ho ho ho!" Frieza let out a casual laugh, then punted Broly hard, sending him tumbling through the air, and turned to look at Paragus with mild amusement. "You can't get your revenge. I already destroyed Planet Vegeta."
Paragus visibly froze.
A stunned pause.
"Planet Vegeta is... gone?" Paragus asked, bewildered.
"Hmph. It's been gone for a long time," Frieza said coldly.
"Then King Vegeta is dead?" Paragus asked.
"Obviously," Frieza said with a light laugh. "Which is exactly why I said — you can't get your revenge."
With that, Frieza launched himself back at Broly and hammered into him again.
Broly was battered helplessly.
"You've hit your limit, haven't you, monkey!" Frieza sneered without stopping. "I was starting to think you had no ceiling."
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Frieza drove several more hard slaps right across Broly's face.
Broly flinched with every hit — but still didn't make a sound.
Frieza: "..."
This kid is
stubborn.
I've beaten him this badly, and he still won't let out a single cry.
