Dragon Ball: I Am Broly

Chapter 25: Monstrous Talent



Frieza floated in the air, hands behind his back, wearing a mocking smile.

"Dear Broly, it seems you've never fought anyone before... I'd say this is your first fight."

"Yes, it is my first time fighting someone."

From below, Broly stared at him intensely, shaking his shoulders.

His body, seemingly unscathed after the impact, broke free from the wall.

"That's truly impressive power..."

Frieza raised an eyebrow, surprised by the admission. A broader smile formed on his face as he murmured with admiration.

But Broly wasn't interested in exchanging words. His eyes burned with ferocity as a faint smile curled on his lips.

"We're still fighting!"

The space around him began to vibrate as he unleashed his Ki. Every cell in his body seemed to awaken, burning with pure excitement.

Without hesitation, he became a streak of white light and hurled himself at Frieza, closing the distance between them in a blink.

"Then let's continue!" Frieza, far from intimidated, felt adrenaline surge through his veins. The sensation of a real challenge, long forgotten, filled him with exhilaration.

Determined, he charged at Broly with all his might.

However, the instant their fists collided, something shifted. Frieza's confident expression tensed, his eyes widened, and a chill ran down his spine.

'How... how is this possible?' he thought, feeling growing despair.

Moments ago, he could match Broly's power. But now… now he was being utterly overwhelmed.

Before he could process what was happening, the force of the blow sent him hurtling backward like a projectile.

Broly, wasting no time, raised his right hand. Four green Ki orbs appeared in the air. With a simple flick of his arm, he launched them toward Frieza.

The orbs flew like missiles, rapidly closing the gap. Frieza, still dazed, barely had time to react.

He extended both hands, aiming with his fingertips, and fired Ki beams in an attempt to intercept them.

Biu!

The beams pierced the orbs with precision, stopping them at the last second.

Boom!

The collision resulted in a massive explosion, shrouding the area in a dense cloud of smoke. The thunderous sound echoed across the battlefield, and for a brief moment, Frieza thought he had bought himself some time to recover.

But Broly gave him no respite.

From within the smoke, his figure emerged with a roar.

"AAAAAH!"

With taut muscles and immense strength, he charged at Frieza.

In an instant, his fist lunged toward him. Frieza barely managed to cross his arms in front of his face to block, but the impact was too much.

His body was sent flying again, crashing violently against the wall.

The ground trembled, and debris flew in all directions.

Embedded in the wall, Frieza barely had time to think before Broly lunged at him again, leaving a trail of energy in his wake.

His Ki-charged fist was aimed to crush him mercilessly.

However, Frieza, now more alert, had learned his lesson. He knew Broly wouldn't give him a single moment to breathe. The moment he hit the wall, he used the momentum to dart to the side.

Boom!

Broly's fist slammed into the wall, deepening and expanding the crater Frieza had left before.

From a safer position, Frieza watched cautiously. His controlled breathing betrayed a hint of exhaustion.

Floating to the side, his gaze fixed on Broly, who appeared unyielding, as if the fight had just begun. But the subtle tremor in the corner of his eye betrayed his rapid thoughts.

"This guy... is a damn monster!"

Clenching his teeth.

There was no point in trying to fight him head-on anymore; Broly had completely surpassed him in that regard. But if brute force wouldn't work, he still had something else in his arsenal.

"Then let's try this!"

In a swift motion, he extended both hands forward. His Ki began to accumulate at his fingertips, and a violet energy concentrated with an intensity that illuminated the area.

"Death Beam!"

From his fingertips, a laser-like Ki beam shot out, one of his signature techniques. The attack tore through the air like a whip of pure energy, heading straight for Broly.

Sensing the danger, Broly reacted instantly.

His head turned quickly, and his pupils contracted.

In that brief moment, Frieza noticed something unsettling.

"What's he doing...?" he murmured, unable to look away.

To his shock, Broly mimicked his move precisely. Twisting his body, he extended his fingers and, with a roar, fired a green Ki beam that collided head-on with Frieza's violet attack.

Boom!

The collision unleashed an explosion that illuminated the area and shook the surroundings. The impact created a shockwave that dispersed the dust and left both combatants momentarily visible.

Frieza's eyes widened, and his jaw slightly dropped.

He couldn't believe what he had just seen.

He…

He simply saw it once… and already learned my Death Beam?

This talent terrified him. His moves... it seemed like just watching them once, Broly could imitate them.

And not only that, but he performed them just as well or even better! The thought of Broly replicating his techniques filled him with jealousy that quickly turned into rage.

"Ahhh!"

Clenching his teeth tightly, trying to contain the torrent of emotions. But his wounded pride clouded his thoughts.

'If the Death Beam doesn't work, let's try this!'

'You can't learn all my techniques just by looking at them once!'

Screaming with rage, Frieza gathered Ki in his eyes. Two ultra-thin beams shot out.

"Dark Eye Beam!"

The attack zipped through the air in the blink of an eye. But what happened next only worsened things for Frieza.

Broly, once again, mimicked him.

This time, his eyes emitted their own beam, but with a different design: green on the outside and bright white at the core. And, to top it off, the power behind his version far surpassed Frieza's.

The two beams clashed.

The tension was brief because, in less than a second, Broly's beam pushed Frieza's attack back, sending it straight toward him.

Boom!

The resulting explosion flung Frieza through the air.

His body spun uncontrollably, covered in dust and small wounds as he was thrown more than a hundred meters away.

"AAAARGH!"

With great effort, he managed to stabilize himself before falling.

Floating in the air, his breathing was ragged, and his face contorted with anger and frustration. His hands trembled, and a fierce grimace formed on his face.

'This bastard... is humiliating me.'

Furious, he raised his right hand. An intense glow began to emanate from his palm as he concentrated his energy. Slowly, a gigantic Ki sphere, bright and burning like a star, took shape.

Radiating suffocating heat that made the air tremble.

With a roar, he hurled the sphere toward Broly, trying to erase his humiliation in one move.

But Broly, true to his nature, didn't hold back.

His eyes gleamed with excitement. Pushing his imitation ability to the limit, he replicated Frieza's exact move, gathering his own energy and forming an identical sphere.

With immense force, he launched his attack directly at Frieza's.

Both projectiles collided in midair.

Boom!

The impact shook the battlefield as both fighters prepared for their final clash.

In seconds, waves of red energy erupted, engulfing the entire battlefield. The air filled with scorching heat, and the ground began to burn as if it had turned into a sea of red flames.

The intensity of the clash was such that even Frieza was sent flying.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

His scream echoed as he regained his balance in the air. His body trembled with rage and frustration.

What had started as a simple training session had spiraled into an uncontrollable battle. The humiliation of being matched—and occasionally surpassed—by Broly fueled a murderous intent that grew deep within his heart.

Meanwhile, Broly slowly emerged from the sea of flames. Embers danced around him, but his expression remained unshaken.

"Bring it on!"

With a shout, Frieza clenched his fists as he unleashed a Ki explosion around his body. The violet aura surrounding him intensified, instantly dissipating the flames across the battlefield.

The two figures now floated face to face, their energies clashing even before they moved.

"Nova Strike!" roared Frieza as he assumed a stance like a missile in mid-flight.

His body was enveloped in a layer of bright violet energy, making him look like a shooting star. With swift movement, he launched himself at Broly with all his might.

This was his most powerful attack.

But Broly, ever observant, didn't miss the opportunity. Watching Frieza's attack, a smile crossed his face.

Even in the heat of battle, his ability to learn and replicate knew no bounds. In an instant, he mimicked Frieza's technique, wrapping his own body in a similar energy, though with a bright green hue.

"Nova Strike!" he shouted as he hurled himself at his opponent.

The two collided at the center of the battlefield.

Boom!

The force of the impact was immeasurable.

The entire space seemed to tremble under the pressure. Vibrations resonated throughout the area, as if reality itself was shaking.

Crack... crack... crack

The ground, walls, and ceiling began to crack. The fissures spread rapidly, and the entire battlefield seemed on the brink of collapse. Even the protective shield covering the stands began to waver, filling with visible cracks.

Sorbet, Cheelai, and Lemo were petrified.

Their bodies trembled as they watched the scene with terror-filled eyes. They could feel the intensity of the shockwaves piercing even the protective barriers. They screamed, not because they feared Broly or Frieza would direct their attacks at them.

They knew the protective shield was designed to block any direct attack. But the shockwaves generated by these two monsters were something else entirely.

The pressure and heat emanating from them could reduce them to ashes if the shield were to fail.
