Chapter 23: Darkness Within

Kaiju’s P.O.V.

I breathed in heavily as I looked at him. I was still in the position in which I was when I kicked him and we basically haven’t moved an inch from where we were. Broly glanced over at me, a smirk appearing on his face. Shit! Not even the littlest effect on his neck! I almost forgot who I was dealing with. He grinned and swung a fist at my stomach. I barely dodged, leaning back and pushing myself away by applying pressure to his forearm.

Skidding on my feet on the floor, I stopped close to Trunks and crouched, glaring at Broly, who spoke: “Like I told that insect beside you… before I crunched him like a roach… No one can stop me.” He spoke, sniggering.

In response I growled and looked for a moment or two at Trunks. He was unconscious and his ki was really low. It was clear he had given it all he had in the fight with Broly. Looking back at the mentioned behemoth, I narrowed my eyes and rose to my feet. “Then I guess… You can consider me no one. Why?” I spoke, almost in a whisper in the end. My tail swished the air behind me and I charged at him fast. “BECAUSE HERE AND NOW, I WILL KILL YOU!!!”

My attack was a ki blast from the right hand. It connected with Broly, however it didn’t seem to have much of an effect. He charged at me, while I halted in mid attack and covered my face with my forearms. Broly caught me by the arms and swung me up to the sky. “I doubt it, brat.” After speaking those words, he took off to the sky after me and fired a ki orb.

My eyes opened and I unfolded my arms from my face. Seeing the blast, I rose my hands over my head and formed a blue orb of ki. As his green orb came towards me, I swung mine down at it, blasting a minor Kamehameha to push it down. It took some effort, but I managed to do so. The two attacks came towards Broly and all he did to counter, easily once again, was hitting a scissors kick, the impact of which split the attack in half. One blast flew towards a mountain in the distance, turning it to dust just like that. The other one flew towards the distant sea. As it collided, a huge whirlpool was caused.

“Holy shit!” I exclaimed in shock as I watched the follow up of the split. But no time to think about that attack. I had to think of what was coming at me. Looking down at Broly, I saw how he fired about a dozen of orbs of ki towards me. My eyes opened wide as I backed a bit away, thinking what to do. In the end I attempted to dodge them. I leaned back, then forward, flipped twice to one side, then cartwheeled in the air multiple times. As the last two came towards me, all I could do is fire two orbs of my own at them.

The two attacks collided and a huge earth shaking explosion came to be. I covered my eyes, due to the intensity of the bright purple light that was made, due to the mixing of green and blue and the waves that followed pushed me back multiple feet. Gritting my teeth, I tried to fight the waves’ strength, but I was so tired… I still hadn’t recovered from my previous bout with Nasko…

My thoughts were cut back to the present as all of a sudden Broly appeared above me. With a grin, he spoke: “Why do flies always have to be so much trouble?!” As he asked, he backhanded me had in the lower back. A loud scream of pain erupted from my lungs as I was sent flying down towards the ground. My right eye closed shut for a while as I descended at a radical speed towards the grassy field, close to where Trunks was lying.

I was unable to halt myself by my own will… So, I had to go for plan “B”. I fired a ki blast towards the ground below and slowly, little by little I came to a halt and then – blasted off towards the sky at an intense speed. I could soon see Broly and what a surprised look he had on his face when he saw me. Before the big man could react, I closed my right fist and swung at his face. My fist’s strength, combined with the speed I was traveling up thanks to the ki blast, equaled a loud thudding sound. His head he turned to the direction in which I punched and the two of us went high up, due to the impact.

He was silent for mere moments and then, he forced my fist away from his face by just turning back to look at me. A huge grin was on the Legendary Super Saiyan’s face as he watched me. He clasped his hands over his head and swung them down, giving me a clubbing blow to the top of the head. I began falling down like a rock, yelling in pain from this attack. He wasn’t through with me, though. He followed me downwards and halfway to the ground grabbed me in a bearhug. After doing so, Broly spun three times and charged down at the ground. “HAPPY LANDING!!!”

“SHIT!!!”

Mai’s P.O.V.

Coughing blood, pacing slowly with a dazed look on my face,  I head towards a direction. A direction that Kaiju himself had asked me to go in. I am a bit reluctant to follow his wish… what with what the person he wants me to help being the same person, who hurt him and Trunks-sensei… I grit my teeth, unable to understand Kaiju’s way of thinking…

I sigh and shake with my head as I soon reach the location, where Kaiju’s brother is. I see him, laying on the ground with evident wounds from head to toe, his blond hair getting blown slightly to the side by the breeze. I walk towards him, now with a heeded step, my eyes scanning him from head to toe. He seems unconscious by the way he is laying.

I decide to move closer. It seems safe to move him. I get close to his head and look down at his face. His eyes, still with dark lines around them, are closed. The expression on his face is… something close to peaceful, but is in a scowl. He must have been scowling for too long in his life here to not be wearing any other expression… I sigh and shake with my head. Why do I suddenly feel sorry for this man? Because now he is in a state of weakness?! Because he is the brother of someone dear to me?! I don’t know. All I know is that Kaiju-kun has put the duty of getting him to safety on my shoulders…

I sigh and crouch, reaching out to try and grab him under one arm. All of a sudden, though, his eyes open and I freeze as one of his hands catches my wrist. I yelp as he squeezes and glares me in the eyes. “Little bitch… What are you planning?!” he cusses at me.

I stare shocked for a while… and then… I smack him hard across the face with a backhand blow, knocking him back to a state of unconsciousness. “Baka…” I manage to say to Kaiju-kun’s brother and then proceed to lift him up, going under one of his shoulders.

I then proceed to take off to the air and to head to the ship. As I fly, I look over my shoulder towards the place where bright lights of the fight flow. “Kaiju-kun… Trunks-sensei… Please, come back safe.”

End of Mai’s P.O.V.

Kaiju’s P.O.V.

My body… It aches in the pain of a thousand pains… Blood flows more from my wounds as I lay there, in the center of a crater, flat on my back with my eyes partially open. Weakly I gaze up towards Broly, who is looking back at me from a standing position. The grin on his face, a victorious one, as he watches me turn back to my normal state.

“As I thought… A weakling stays a weakling.” he spoke, his words piercing through me like an arrow through an apple. My breathing is weak, my heartbeat is slow. My body refuses to listen to my commands of rising and attacking. I feel… I feel just as he has referred to me – weak. Damn it…. God fucking damn it… I didn’t… I didn’t want to be weak. His words were running around in my mind, hurting more and more. “A weakling that is now going to watch…” he paused.

My eyes opened further to watch as he disappeared from sight. The crater was very deep and I barely could se him anyways. I could only listen now, listen to his steps as he headed off to somewhere. His steps ended for a moment, then returned back to their rhythm. What was he doing?! I swear that I can hear him dragging something… someone. I gasped.

With wide open eyes I watched as he appeared, Trunks held by the head in his right hand. “Tru… Trunks!” I exclaimed, watching in shock at Trunks. “Bastard… Don’t touch him!” I shouted with all the strength my voice could muster. My demands were not accepted, it was as clear as daylight. Well, you couldn’t call it day right now, due to the mysterious clouds that had appeared ever since Broly transformed…

He laughed. “You are a weakling… A weakling that is going to now watch helplessly as I crush this purple haired bastard’s head with my hand.” He laughed and watched me as I was trying to push myself to get up. He enjoyed this. He enjoyed watching me suffer. He enjoyed haunting me this way. Taunting me…
I growled. “LET HIM GO, BROLY!!!” Again that had no effect. Broly just grinned even more and clenched the hand, in which he held Trunks by the head, into a fist. He slowly, very slowly, began to seemingly apply pressure as Trunks’ body was wiggling in pain. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

Broly just laughed, grinning from ear to ear. I closed my eyes, tears flowing from my eyes once again. And then…. It seemed like time had stopped. I suddenly heard  a whisper. A whisper in the back of my head. It was clear to understand what was said. It was again that voice from before, when I knocked out my brother.

“Heh… You weak fool… Must I do everything for you?!” the voice spoke.

I opened my eyes and suddenly found myself surrounded by nothing but darkness. I was, somehow, able to stand up and turned around in circles as those words echoed around me. Where did that voice come from?! Where?! Why did it sound so much like mine?! Why?! And then I froze. I watched as the darkness began to come at me. My feet were first consumed. I stared down, unable to believe this. I began squirming, trying to get free from this darkness as my legs were soon covered by this…

“No… Wh… What is happening?!” I asked. I could sense an evil energy all around me. It gave me chills. And at the same time – made me feel like I was in a sauna. I gritted my teeth, soon my whole body from the neck down covered in this. “Ghu…God… what is HAPPENING?!” I shouted, eyes closed.

“I’m doin’ you a favor… Be thankful, bitch!” the voice shouted this time in my head.

Broly’s P.O.V.:

My proud laugh was silenced. I stared at the crater, down at the foolish insect that laid there the moment I sensed a strange change of the wind. Such intensity in ki was coming from that brat, going to all sides. “What the fuck?!”

I watched in surprise as he slowly sat up, then pulled himself to a vertical stance. His head was bowed and his arms were swinging freely back and forth, his tail swishing the air behind him. Where was this ki coming from?! From him?! But how?! Such a weakling that could barely smack me…

I watched as I dropped Trunks. The brat looked like he was convulsing from pain as an aura was rising around him. It wasn’t golden this time. No. Instead it was a black one. One that gave out both warm and cold waves as it seemed like it came from every ounce of his being. As I was contemplating this, he made his move. He took a step forward, but before his foot touched the ground, he disappeared from where he stood.

He appeared a moment later, in front of me with his head down. I looked at him from this up close, watching how his hair suddenly began turning from black to a grayish color. “What the fuck are you?!” I shouted, staring at him and swung a fist at his head. But, to my utmost unpleasant surprise…

The fist was stopped by the scarfaced one’s left hand. I growled, trying to free my fist, applying strength and barely managed to pull it free. How in the world… How in the world did he have power to hold my fist just like that….?!

And then it happened. He spoke. “I…” his voice had changed as well. It was deep, sounding almost like an echo. “I will…” he continued and then slowly began rising his head to face me. His now gray hair hid his eyes from my vision. As he rose his head, heavy wind blew between the two of us. It blew with such intensity that it cut the ground between us in half and his hair was pushed up. I saw them.

“WHAT?! IMPOSSIBLE!!!” I exclaimed, staring at a pair of white, pupiless eyes, the background of which were black. What… what the fuck had become of this guy?!

“I WILL KILL YOU!!!” he roared out, sharp canines showing, growing to an inch each as he clenched his hands into fists, his nails turned to claws, his tail now dark grey in color… And the intent to kill in his eyes.

This battle… was not yet over.
