Off in the distance, an eerie golden light drew across the horizon. Chills ran up and down the warrior's spine as energy seemed to shake the Earth, rattling all that remained inside of the boy's mansion. Books were vibrating off of shaking shelves, and china was quaking before falling and shattering against tiled floors. The Saiyan's eyes were drawn to the window, watching as a unique light filled his field of vision. He had not seen such an energy output in years, even less often had he felt it.

His jawline tightened for a moment, as he watched. The rest of the sky seemed to darken in comparison to the energy that was being expended, while clouds swung and swerved to meet this new center of gravity. Something was putting out more power than he had ever seen from anyone but himself. For the briefest moment, Broly considered what it could have been. He knew it couldn't have been the insect, that bug Cell, but something within his gut was tugging away.

Was it possible that he had gotten himself into some kind of battle? He hadn't seen the insect engage anyone in combat since he'd managed to defeat the Turtle Hermit. Even though that had only been a temporary victory, the old man had indeed been killed. That was undeniable fact; the bug had managed to succeed. He'd also obtained a few more heads for the fire, which was still burning feebly in the fireplace beside him. Together, they had kept it well stocked.

However, as his eyes turned from the darkening sky to the fireplace, something seemed wrong. It was the same feeling from a few days ago, the feeling he'd received when the boy, Ryouji, had died. Except, this time it was different. It was as if something more tragic was occurring. Yes, the boy had died, but he had died of his own faults. He had been unable to contain the power that had been housed within him. This felt different, as though someone were dying in a struggle more brutal than his own.

All of his life, he had been struggling and scratching and scrounging and scrapping. He'd spent his entire life devoted to a cause he himself had created. His very existence perpetuated that struggle, and yet something out there felt more tragic than any of that. It was as though someone he knew, someone he'd come to know, was being destroyed and picked apart at the seams. Was it possible that the bug had been involved in that output of energy? Yet, he could have sworn he sensed a shimmer of a signature on the horizon.

What was that force he was combating? Even Broly could feel the resilience in it's soul, as his eyes watched embers and dying flames dance and spin in the fire. He could feel the strength and resolve rising from each combatant from across the miles, his skin tingling and spine straightening as he imagined what their clashing must have looked like. He could see it now, in his mind's eye; he could see a battle field more torn apart and destroyed than any in history.

Blackened forests rose, jutting into black skies as a rain of ashes and soot fell down upon the scorched field. His breathing suddenly increased in pace, the Saiyan inhaling like a bull who was dripping with anticipation; begging for his next opponent to reveal himself. He watched as the struggle inside the flames slowly grew more desperate, the embers slowly fading and darkening. Beneath them lay a huge pile of ash that spilled out onto the carpet.

In that pile, he saw a battlefield that was beaten beyond repair. He could see no chance of life rising from it, he could see no phoenix amongst the ashes. The hair on the back of his neck stood on end as he turned briefly, once more to face the window. What was possibly going on, so far away and across the world? What could have forced the sky to it's will like that? What was the purpose of the struggle, what was struggling? As the Saiyan's fists clenched, he could have sworn he knew.

Something about the blast had felt familiar; as if he knew it more than he should have. It was as if he had been preparing to feel that energy burning him away, eating at him like some kind of voracious predator with meat before it's nose. It was as if he had felt such an un-sensible signature. What could it have been? Exhaling sharply, his eyes cast another furtive glance toward what remained of the flames.

He knew that for the flames inside of the fire, little could actually be done. There weren't any exceptions, there were no come backs for the fire. He would never burn it again; he wouldn't throw another head inside of the fireplace. Though, that did not explain the dread that seemed to gather in the center of his stomach as he watched. Tentatively, the Saiyan rose his left hand, pointing it directly at the area which had previously housed so many blazing head-burnings.

As the embers died down for the final time, Broly released a tightly packed wave of air toward the wavering lights, forcing thousands of glittering ashes to burst around the room. Freshly reawakened embers quickly caught onto the wood work, illuminating the place in a rush of heat and smoke as the Saiyan strode out of the room. Off in the horizon loomed a force powerful enough to extinguish a mighty light; off on the horizon stood something he had sought for his entire life.

However, as he bent down to retrieve the One Star Dragon ball, he closed his eyes, and thought back to how it all began; the start of something new and something immortal. He could feel the bug, off in the distance, fighting for his life in a grudge match more ferocious than any in existence. As a final, mighty shudder pushed it's way out of Broly, the Saiyan turned his back on the burning room behind him. He had not intended to begin such a course for the pair, but he knew one thing for sure as he gazed into a field of glowing orange.

”I will end it.”
