Over at the valley on the outskirts of Canterlot, the column of purple light faded completely. Despite staying low to cover themselves from the dirt thrown in the air, the Mane Six, the Royal Sisters, Shining Armor, Cadence, Starlight and Spike were horrified at what they just witnessed. Completely motionless.

Finishing his attack, Turles smirked at his handiwork. What was once a member of the royal guard, was nothing but a smouldering crater. The Pegasus incinerated by the Meteor Burst attack.

The anthro ponies and dragon, as well as the onlooking crowd in the distance, could not believe what had transpired. They had no words. Turles outright murdered some of their kind. Even knowing that they wouldn’t stand a chance against him, he done it regardless. With no remorse or even mercy. The other five aliens however only smirked as they watched their boss enjoying himself.

After lowering his arm, Turles looked over to the Pegasus’s arm he severed earlier and began to inspect it. To the confusion of the group, he began to sniff it. Then to their horror, the space pirate took a big bite out of it. Using his strength to tear a chunk of flesh from the arm before proceeding to chew it. Blood dripping from his mouth as he took a moment to take in the flavour.

The group were all unaware that meat was the usual dietary for his particular species.

After swallowing the flesh, Turles took one more look at the severed arm before speaking up.

“Not bad. But I prefer cooked meat.”

He then scared the group by tossing the arm in their direction. The limb landing several feet in front of them. The action caused some of them to back away in fear. Worried that Turles would eat them next.

“Those poor guards,” Cadence uttered quietly. Mortified that ponies had died right in front of her.

The other royals were more horrified at how easily Turles killed them. A single backhand from him could snap a neck like a twig. Rainbow Dash felt especially lucky that he was only toying with her.

“What in Equestria are we supposed to do now?” Starlight asked. To which Celestia gave a fearful reply.

“I…I don’t know.”

She was at a loss. She could try again to send a signal to Broly, but with the aliens’ speed they could stop her before she could even get close. They were on their own. And if the situation wasn’t worrying enough, citizens of Canterlot began to converge to the valley from the sounds of battle. They too had witnessed the deaths of the two royal guards and were more likely expecting her and Luna to retaliate. But she had no idea how to do it. Turles already proved too strong for their combined might. And it was very unlikely that he could be talked out of his evil deeds. She had no idea what to do or how to respond.

“Sister?” Luna uttered as she saw the shear amount of worry piling on the Sun Princess.

But as she kept trying to think of an idea, Turles was showing signs of losing patience.

“So… was that really all you got? No special tricks? No back up plans? No surprises? No hope?”

From seeing their fearful expressions, Turles frowned from the response.

“Pity. And here I thought you could put up more of a fight. Seems you natives are not so special after all.”

Amond then spoke up to his boss.

“But we’re still keeping some of them as our slaves, right?”

Turles glanced over to his minion with a grin before focusing back to the group.

“But of course. We do need entertainment.”

He then menacingly looked over to the crowd in the distance.

“And after we plant the Tree of Might, we can go over there for a closer look.”

Turles then was lost in thought. Back on Earth, before his death by the hands of the Saiyan Goku, he encountered his son. He knew very well that Goku was the only Saiyan living on Earth. So that made his son a half-Saiyan. But despite being a hybrid, he was exceptionally strong. Even for his age. With the notion in mind, Turles concluded that hybrid Saiyans possess quite the potential for strength. His plan was to experiment with the idea by possibly raising a half-breed of his own. Despite the below average power levels of the anthropomorphic creatures, the physical appearance of the females wasn’t displeasing to him. And with the planet largely made up of females, he would have a field day breeding up a new army of half-Saiyans.

Celestia was frightened furthermore by Turles’s motives involving the citizens. Likely involving mass slaughter.

“No. You will not lay a hand on our people!”

Turles could see how empty the princess’s threat was.

“Oh? And how do you intend to stop me?”

On the side-lines, Amond was chuckling to himself with the rest of the alien squad. Then to his surprise, his scouter started beeping. After looking at the screen, he moved his head in the direction of the approaching power level. 

Turles took a step forward. It was more then enough to send another wave of fear in the group.

“You threw everything you had at me and it all amount to nothing. You have no chance now.”

Just as things seemed bleak, Amond alerted to Turles.

“Boss!”

Caught on by the tone of alarm from his minion, Turles turned to Amond.

“Hmm?”

“A high power level incoming!”

As soon as he was told, Turles’s scouter started to beep on its own. In curiosity, he looked to the screen. Wondering if it was the unreadable power level he read earlier. But rather than looking at the numbers, he focused on where it was coming from. He gasped from seeing that it was approaching at great speed. Looking up at its direction.

The group were puzzled as to why the aliens were acting up all of a sudden. Celestia and Twilight turned around to follow Turles’s line of sight. And saw a white streak in the sky that was rapidly getting closer. After closer inspection Twilight gasped before speaking up.

“Everyone look!”

All eyes turned in the direction of the white streak. Including the crowd of citizens. As the object got closer, the group could see that it was Broly. Speeding over the citizens before coming to a complete stop in the air above them.

Out of all the six aliens, Turles was the one who was the most stunned.

‘What!? Another Saiyan!? What’s he doing here? Is he that unreadable power level I picked up?’

The group meanwhile were relieved that their Saiyan friend had arrived in the nick of time.

“Oh yeah, the big guy is here!” Rainbow Dash cheered. 

But as Twilight was about to cheer along with her, she noticed that something was off.

“Wait, something not right.”

The others could see it too. They expected Broly to be more confident upon his arrival. But he wasn’t. To their confusion, he had a look of shock. Almost traumatized. It happened the second Broly laid eyes on Turles. Completely ignoring the ponies and the other aliens. He could see it. His face and his spikey black hair. Then beyond his control, visions of the past flowed through his mind. That face… it looked exactly the same as… him.

With the visions clouding his mind once more, Broly began to tense up. Grunting angrily as he began to speak.

“K…Kakarot.”

His grunting grew louder as he glared at Turles.

“Kakarot!”

The group all heard his second outburst. Horrified at the very likely outcome.

“Oh no! It’s happening again!” Luna uttered, whom was the most horrified of the group. Envisioning that Broly’s rampage would kill them all.

Broly began to make a move. To the shock of the group, the Saiyan completely ignored them. Instead, he flew right over the group and charged straight towards Turles.

“KAKAROT!!”

Unprepared for Broly’s sudden burst of speed, Turles received a strong uppercut to the face. The blow sent him hurtling high into the sky.

Time seemed to have paused for the group. To them, Broly had recessed into what he was when they first found him. A mindless killing machine who held no regard for life other then his own. But yet, he paid no mind to them and went straight for the other alien aggressor. Does that mean he still had sense of who the true enemy was? Or that Turles was the strongest and was simply saving them for later?

After leaping into the air, Broly charged in after Turles.

“Kakarot!”

Ascending into the air, Turles grunted in pain from the sudden attack. He angrily looked down to see him catching up to him.

“Grr… That little…!”

In response, Turles roared as he powered up. Shrouding himself in white ki that both stopped his assent and gathering strength.

Upon sensing Turles’s ki, Broly gasped in shock. Thanks to the efforts of Twilight from earlier, Broly had regained some sense of sanity. One of which was remembering what energy of an individual felt like. And the foe that was right in front of him, despite his resemblance, his ki was not Kakarot’s!

Realising the difference, Broly immediately stopped in his tracks before shouting at Turles. Shaking his head in a way to calm his rage.

“YOU! You’re not Kakarot!”

Down below, the group couldn’t be any more confused at what was going on. Broly had mistaken Turles for Kakarot. But only then to address that he wasn’t.

High above him, Turles corrected Broly’s judgement.

“Of course, I’m not! I’m Turles!” He shouted back as he tried to fight back the pain from the punch.

“T…Tur…les?” Broly asked in annoyance. The fact that a completely different being possessing the same face as his hated enemy was infuriating to look at. Almost as if the universe was insulting him.

As he was rubbing his right cheek, Turles looked baffled as he spoke up.

“Confused? Surely you would know that most low-class Saiyans lookalike.”

Upon hearing his words, it left the ponies aghast. With the one question appearing in their heads. Starlight was the one to bring it out in the open as she glanced up at Turles.

“Wait? Turles is a Saiyan!?”

The whole group looked at both Turles and Broly respectively. They couldn’t believe it. They were in the presence of another member of the warrior race. It explained why they were having such a hard time dealing with him. As well as to Celestia and Luna, why their battle with him felt so much like their fight with Broly.

“A…another Saiyan? Here? I don’t believe it,” Luna uttered fearfully. One of her worst nightmares had doubled.

But another fact that she had just learnt caused Twilight to think out loud. Glancing up to Broly while doing so.

“And Broly mistook him for Kakarot. Does… does that mean Kakarot is a Saiyan too?”

Up in the air, confusion was the only thing preventing Broly from lashing out again. He couldn’t believe that there was another Saiyan with the exact same face as Kakarot. He was so caught up in his mental struggle that he didn’t notice the other five aliens preparing to strike back.

“All right, let’s get him!” Amond said as he and his comrades readied themselves.

But before they could take to the air, Turles gave them an order.

“Wait! Stand down men!” He said as he outstretched his arm towards them. Telling them to stop.

The group were just as puzzled as the five alien minions. Turles was outright attacked, and yet he didn’t want his solders to step in. Not wanting to anger their boss, the five aliens relaxed themselves and watched on. Curious as to what was going through Turles’s head. The ponies likewise.

High in the air, Broly and Turles silently stared at each other in curiosity. While Broly wanted to lash out again, something was telling him to be patient and wait. As for Turles, he was still taken back. True he expected some otherworldly being with a high power level to be on the planet, but he never expected to be another surviving Saiyan. He continued to rub his cheek as he began to think. Remembering the amount of strength that went behind the punch.

“He’s… strong. And he seems to have a beef with Kakarot too,” He quietly said.

Rather than being spurred on from the pain, Turles was in fact quite impressed at Broly. He had eaten the Fruit of the Tree of Might countless times in the past, yet he could still feel the stinging pain from the blow. Plus, from how vicious he was upon their first meeting, the larger Saiyan seemed more primal. To him, showed a certain lack of intelligence.

Realising that he could turn the situation in an opportunity, Turles grinned as he formulated a plan. Then to add more surprise to the souls below, even his own minions, Turles began to descend. Lowering himself until he was at Broly’s level. Continuing to silently stare at each other.

Daiz then noticed something which caused him to grin.

“The boss is smiling. I guess he has a plan.”

The ponies looked to Daiz in confusion before back in the air. Wondering what he was talking about.

As the staring continued for several more moments, Turles decided to speak. Further addressing the fact that he and Broly belong to the same species.

“What is your name, fellow Saiyan?”

At first confused at the sudden friendly greeting, Broly hesitantly answered.

“Broly.”

Turles smirked even more from hearing the reply.

“Broly? Yes, that’s definitely a Saiyan name. It rather suits you.”

The ponies below couldn’t tell exactly what was going on and why Turles was being very hospitable. Could it be that he was genuinely amazed at Broly? Or that it was all a ploy to get on his good side?

Turles continued as he held his hand on the spot where Broly hit him.

“Now I have to say. You certainly pack quite a punch. I can still feel it sting. Now I appreciate a warrior with strength to back him up. But I feel that your talents are wasted on a planet like this.”

Then Turles asked the question that sent a wave of disbelief to the whole group.

“How about joining my team?”

The group below all gasped loudly at what they heard. It was the last thing they ever expected. Broly was supposed to fight the intruders. Yet one of them straight out asked if he could join him. If that wasn’t enough, Turles continued to talk. Explaining to the silent Broly the perks of an alliance.

“Now think of the benefits to this. We can conquer planets. Eat good food. Drink all we like. With my brains and your brawn, the entire universe will be ours for the taking. Now wouldn’t that be nice?”

Broly said nothing. He continued to stare silently at Turles. Taking in his words.

Down below, the group had very bad feelings about what was transpiring. None more so than Twilight.

“No. He wouldn’t. There’s no way he would join. Right?”

It was then Twilight realised something. They barely knew Broly. Not even for an entire day. If they had spent more time with him, then any possible bond he would have with them would cause him to reject the offer. Since it hadn’t been very long since they released him, the young Alicorn feared that Broly would hold no connection to any of them. Meaning the possibility of him leaving them would be higher than she thought.

Seeing that Broly wasn’t responding, Turles decided to make a comparison.

“I mean, just look at those pitiful creatures down there,” He said as he pointed at the group he was menacing.

Following his finger, Broly turned to look at the fearful group below. Turles continued.

“Do you really think they would do better than me? What can they possibly offer to you that I can’t? They clearly have no idea on how to deal with Saiyans like us. This offer would also help liberate you from here. So it’s clear what the answer is.”

He then said something that, to the soft-hearted ponies, might actually be a big deal to Broly.

“After all, you and I are among the last of the Saiyan race. We should look out for one another.”

Frightened that Broly might actually accept Turles’s offer, Twilight called out to him.

“No Broly!”

In an attempt to put pressure on the ponies, Turles spoke up to Broly in a louder tone.

“I’m sorry. Did a lesser lifeform just told you what to do!?”

Twilight continued to plea.

“Don’t listen to him, Broly! You mustn’t accept him! Please!”

“Don’t bother, Twilight.”

Shocked at what they just heard, the group all turned to Luna. It was her who spoke up.

“Luna?” Celestia asked. Not expecting her own sister to say such a thing.

While her look was stern, it had elements of defeat. The next thing Luna said showed that she already had lost hope.

“There is a point to what Turles is saying. Broly is one of them. And if what they say is true, that they really are the last of their race, it would make sense for him to join.”

“But… what would that make us? We don’t sand a chance against them,” Rarity said.

Her reply caused the rest of the group to have a horrifying thought. If Broly indeed chose to side with Turles and his henchmen, then it would be all over for them. If they couldn’t stop one Saiyan, then two would be overkill.

The group all looked up to Broly. Mentally praying for a miracle.

“Please,” Twilight whispered to herself. Hoping that Broly would do the right thing.

High in the sky, Broly continued to look down at the group below. Eyeing all of them whom just moments ago were all talking to him. Treating him in a way he never experienced before. Or at least from what he could remember. But of all the individuals he had in his sights, only three he payed close attention to. From seeing them, thoughts crossed his mind.

The pink Earth Pony named Pinkie Pie. She offered him a treat. Though he never admitted it, but the cupcakes were among the tastiest foods he’s ever eaten. There could be potentially more treats like that.

The white Alicorn named Celestia. Despite their fight upon their first meeting, it was she who decided to free him from his imprisonment in stone to fight the alien invasion. And as a reward, he was very well fed. As well as help giving him information on the planet he was on. But there was something else about her. Something he couldn’t put his finger on. Something familiar, but long forgotten.

Finally, the lavender Alicorn named Twilight. He couldn’t understand why, but he could still remember what she told him through his mind. Her words, her tone… it almost felt soothing to him. She was the one who calmed his wrath. Something not even his own father could ever do without the need of mind control. And at dinner, she seemed to be the friendliest out of all of them. Even going as far as to lean near him when he showed off his ki. To experience someone taking interest in him rather then being afraid… he liked it.

As he continued to stare at the group, it was clear that Turles was starting to lose patience.

“You know, I don’t just hand these offers out willy-nilly. You have to make your mind up eventually. How about I sweeten the deal? You get to keep anyone of these creatures as your own personal plaything. You see, I have a plan to…”

Broly spoke up, cutting Turles off.

“I’ve made my decision.”

The whole world paused in response. The ponies and dragon below all held their breath. Wondering what decision Broly has made, it seemed their fates were in his hands. It could lead to either their salvation, or their destruction. Turles grinned at Broly.

“Good. So, what do you say?”

Broly closed his eyes as he faced back at Turles. Then snapping his eyes open, he gave the other Saiyan a menacing glare. Envisioning a brief glimpse of Goku as he looked at his face. Turles raised an eyebrow in confusion from his show of expression.

Then, after a suspenseful silence, Broly gave his answer.

“You look like Kakarot…” He finished his sentence as he smirked wickedly.

“…that’s a face I’ll gladly rearrange.”

Everyone looked to Broly in confusion. The baffled Turles spoke back, taking slight offence to the remark.

“And what’s that supposed to mean?”

Then Broly gave a much clearer answer.

“It means… no!”

All the ponies on the ground below gasped at Broly in complete surprise. It was not what they were expecting in the slightest. Even Luna was taken back by the reject. Soon their surprise turned into smiles of joy. In an unexpected turn of events, it seemed they had hope after all. Celestia and Twilight both smiling in amazement.

Turles too looked at Broly in complete surprise.

“You…refuse!?”

He gritted his teeth in anger. Furious of Broly’s decision.

“You…You fool! You dare choose them over me!? Your own race!?”

Broly snarled at Turles in response. And then said something unexpected.

“Tch…Saiyans. What have you ever done for me?”

The group were caught off guard at the remark Broly just said. Especially the tone he carried. It had nothing but malice. Dislike. Even something surprising…disgust.

“He…hates his own race?” Twilight openly asked. Caught on by his words.

“But why?” Shining Armor asked. The others thinking of the very same question.

Veins began to show on Turles’s head as he lashed out in confusion at Broly.

“What are you talking about!? You’re a Saiyan!”

“And your point is?”

Broly’s replies continued to confuse and aggravate Turles. He couldn’t understand why Broly was acting the way he was. But despite that, it was clear that the larger Saiyan had no intentions on allying with him. He replied back, completely offended.

“I can’t believe what I’m hearing. What happened to you!? Any other Saiyan would jump to get the opportunity of joining me! Surely you don’t care for these pitiful creatures! Where’s your Saiyan pride!?”

Broly gave Turles a blank look before speaking. 

“Save it for someone who cares.”

Turles clenched his fists in frustration. Broly simply didn’t care about him or the potential survival of the Saiyan race. He simply couldn’t understand why he would turn down such an offer. As he exhaled, Turles calmed his muscles as he gave Broly a look of disappointment. He gave up on him.

“If that’s the way you want it… then fine. I doubt we’d get along anyway.”

Turles then slowly descended towards the ground, Broly following suit. Some of the ponies could see the expression on Turles’s face. To their surprise, he looked genuinely hurt by Broly’s decision. As if he really wanted him to join his team.

The two Saiyans landed firmly on the ground. Turles standing on the same ridge to where he first showed himself to the ponies. Not hiding his disgust, he spoke to Broly in blunt honesty. Letting the ponies hear his words.

“I thought you were something special, Broly. But I was clearly wrong.”

He then snapped.

“You coward! You’re a disgrace to the Saiyans! A Saiyan with no pride is nothing! And in case you didn’t know, the punishment for betraying the Saiyan cause is death!”

With a snap of his fingers, all five of Turles’s minions leapt off the ground and landed in front of their boss. All standing beside each other in a line to defend Turles, they smirked at Broly for daring oppose them.

“Oh boy,” Rainbow Dash said. Knowing that what was to come wouldn’t be pretty.

“Crusher Corps! Tear him apart!” Turles commanded. Giving the all clear to attack.

Each of them powered up and prepared to utilize their ki attacks.

“Everypony, get back!” Celestia said as she and the others retreated to a safer spot to watch.

After reaching full power, the Crusher Corps attacked.

“Gemini Shot!” Both Rasin and Lakasei shouted before each firing a red ki blast from their hands.

“Planet Bomb!” Amond shouted before pointing his index and middle fingers at Broly and firing a powerful orange energy wave.

To maximize their chances of killing Broly, Cacao and Daiz decided to use a Combined Energy Wave attack. Both firing a beam of energy that combined before closing in on Broly.

Despite the barrage of attacks closing in on him, Broly remained completely still. Even up to the point where the attacks landed direct hits on him. The explosions causing massive tremors through the ground and throwing up a large cloud of smoke in the air.

“Woah, that’s big!” Spike shouted as he and the others tried to stay low to avoid being blown away by the strong breeze.

As the shockwaves settled down, Rasin and Lakasei charged in to continue the assault.

“Let’s finish the job!”

“Right!”

However as they closed in, muscular arms suddenly emerged from the smoke cloud and each grabbed a hold on the heads of the two small aliens. Before they had time to struggle, Broly emerged from the smoke and brought his hands together. Crushing the aliens’ skulls into each other with his immense strength.

After seeing how quickly Rasin and Lakasei were killed, Cacao got into position for his Cosmic Attack ability. Using his rocket propulsion, he charged in at great speed as Broly dropped the alien corpses.

The Cyborg’s attack struck as he collided into Broly’s stomach. Unfortunately, the attack didn’t made the Saiyan budge. Quickly grabbing a hold on his robot arms, Broly knee kicked him in the chest. The shear force from the blow caused the Cacao’s arms to be ripped from his shoulders. Causing massive circuit failure in his body. Cacao was effectively dead.

Spurred on from the sudden deaths of his comrades, Daiz leapt into the air and got to a good height behind Broly. Afterwards, he powered up and threw down his Meteor Ball attack. Attempting to strike the Saiyan from behind.

But seeing the attack coming, Broly turned around and fired a small ki sphere to counterattack. To Daiz’s horror, the small green orb smashed straight through his large red sphere and collided into him. The explosion vaporizing the alien who was once a prince.

As Broly turned to face Amond, the bulky alien was already charging in to attack him.

“I gotcha!” He shouted as he reached out his arm. Managing to grab a hold on his golden necklace.

A strange development had occurred within Broly the second the alien grabbed his necklace. Something snapped that caused him to flinch. He couldn’t understand why, but the feeling was making him very angry. As if, at that moment, his necklace was the most important thing to him. As a reaction, Broly grabbed Amond’s arm. Then growling at him before shouting.

“Don’t touch!!”

With his free right fist, he landed a punch on Amond so strong, it caused the alien’s entire upper body to be nothing but a big red splat on the ground. The eviscerated warrior was killed instantly. 

The whole world went silent for Broly. He looked down at his necklace in confusion. He had no idea why he acted up from when Amond touched it. It was as if it was instinctive. As if it had a deep meaning to him that he could no longer remember. But he had to push aside his confusion for the moment. Because there was one more alien to contend with.

On the sidelines, most of the group were left speechless at Broly’s strength. The five aliens were far stronger than the aliens that invaded Equestria earlier in the day. Yet Broly took each of them down in a single blow. To some of them however, they were more interested in what happened to the Saiyan when he lashed out on the last minion. He looked furious, and all Amond had done was touch his golden necklace. Actions speak louder then words. And Broly’s actions showed that his necklace must mean a lot to him. Twilight and Celestia looked at Broly in confusion as he adjusted his necklace before facing Turles.

Turles meanwhile was trembling in fury. But not from the loss of his entire crew, it was from Broly’s performance.

“Y-You… you have such ferocity. Such violent nature. A true Saiyan warrior. And yet… you still defy me!”

He then snapped at Broly.

“I’ll kill you with my own hands!”

The two Saiyans silently glared at each other as the wind picked up suddenly. As if the very land itself was scared of the upcoming over worldly conflict. To make Broly pay for such blasphemous attitude, he would restore the pride of the Saiyan race by killing him. As for Broly, he had plenty of options. With his strength, he could very easily kill Turles in an instant. Even in his base form. However, he decided against it. To him, Turles represents the entire Saiyan race. All the mistreatment and cruelty rolled into a single being. In his way of revenge, he would make Turles suffer. Even if it meant heavily restrain his overwhelming power.

‘Background music’ ‘Criminal by Disturbed’

Back at the group, they couldn’t feel any more tense. Concern gripping their faces. It wasn’t just a fight between two aliens. It was a battle between two Saiyans. Members of the violent warrior race. As the wind blew through the valley, they had no idea what to expect. Their hearts pounded as Broly and Turles continued to glare angrily at each other. The wind blowing their hairs around as the two warriors stood still.

Then without warning, the two Saiyans vanished completely from view. Confusing the onlooking group. They then received a scare from a loud boom. The boom was quickly followed by many more. Looking up to where the noise was coming from, they all saw a series of sonic booms. All dotting across the sky like fireworks. The booms were a result of the two aliens clashing with each other. Evident from the two blurs streaking across the sky. Only briefly seeing Turles and Broly exchanging blows seconds before losing sight of them.

“They’re so fast,” Rainbow Dash uttered. Shaken to see such display of speed.

“Celestia! Have you ever seen a fight like this before!?” Twilight asked her former mentor. Frightened at the ferocity of the fight even though it had just started.

The Sun Princess didn’t even need to think before answering.

“No. Never.”

Back up in the air, the two warriors were stationary as they exchanged jabs at each other. As he found an opening, Turles landed a kick to Broly’s chest. Forcing the larger Saiyan to land on the ground. The forced landing caused the ground crack and break apart. However, Broly was undeterred. Looking up, he launched himself off the ground the second he had Turles in his sights. The take off broke open the ground even more. Unable to dodge in time, Turles received a strong headbutt to the stomach. The smaller Saiyan gagged for breath as the blow sent him back.

Hovering in place, Turles grabbed his aching stomach before looking back at Broly. Who was preparing to attack.

“You really are strong,” He said quietly before seeing Broly charging at him once more.

As Broly threw his left fist out to punch Turles, the latter had only a couple of seconds to move slightly to his left to dodge. But as time seemed to have slowed down, Broly was able to get a good look at the look of shock on Turles’s face before grinning. With his forward momentum, Broly stretched out his right arm to his side to clothesline Turles by the neck. Then throwing his arm forward, he tossed the smaller Saiyan ahead of him.

After gagging from both the pain and the shock, Turles quickly threw both his hands out to fire two purple ki spheres at Broly. In response, Broly let out a mighty roar. Releasing a burst of power, he deflected the orbs back at Turles. The latter crossed his arms to shield himself from the explosions as he got struck.

Over in the distance, the onlooking crowd were witnessing the battle. Amazed from the fact that not only the battle was nothing like they had ever seen, but from the fact that one of the aliens was fighting on their side. The same one who saved them from the alien invaders earlier on the same day.

Back at the fight, Broly charged in and landed a strong punch to Turles’s right cheek. Sending the space pirate hurtling through the air. Broly then giving chase. As he hurtled, Turles got a brief glimpse of Broly fast approaching. Using his situation to his advantage, he used the momentum of the punch to spin. Then as Broly got within range, Turles landed a heavy kick to the side of his head. Believing that Broly was stunned, Turles performed a series of backflips to maneuver behind Broly. Purple energy within his open palms.

“Broly! Behind you!” Twilight called out in an attempt to warn him.

“DIE!” Turles shouted as he threw his arms out. Firing a volley of purple energy blasts.

As soon as Broly turned around, he was bombarded in streams of purple energy. Completely shrouding him in smoke from the explosions. Turles continued to relentlessly fire on Broly before stopping to admire his handy work. Infront of him was a giant plume of smoke. Looking over his shoulder to eye the group below, Turles grinned before making his way towards them. Spooking them in the process. A foolish decision. Because Broly charged out of the smoke plume, flew around and collided into Turles’s left side. Tackling him into a rocky cliff. The rockface exploded from impact. But as debris started to fall, the entire front of the cliff was engulfed in a bright column of purple energy. The ponies remembering that being Turles’s Meteor Burst attack.

As the attack ended, Turles emerged from the smoke with a menacing glare. Seeing that the alien warrior was too close for comfort, a royal guard tried to herd the civilians away.

“Everypony! Get clear from the danger zone!”

Turles meanwhile was not bothered with the locals as he looked around.

“Grr! Where are you, Broly!?”

Not being able to see and lacking the ability to sense energy, Turles resorted to use his scouter to find Broly. Whom seemed to have completely vanished from sight. While the scouter was able to locate Broly, it was where he was that baffled the evil Saiyan.

“What!? Below me!?”

As soon as he realised where Broly was, the large Saiyan erupted from the ground beneath Turles’s very feet. He then surprised the smaller Saiyan by grabbing the back of his head with his right hand and then squashing him into the dirt. Then he used the said hand to push himself up in the air above the downed Turles. With his feet pointing down, Broly quickly descended. Intending to crush the Saiyan underfoot.

Seeing the attack coming, Turles quickly got out of the way. Leaving Broly to leave a large crater in the ground. He then retaliated by launching a kick to Broly’s cheek. But while the attack landed, the large Saiyan didn’t flinch. In response, Broly grabbed onto Turles’s boot and proceeded to swat the surprised Saiyan against the ground.

With the enemy in his grip, Broly then tossed Turles away. To the shock of the ponies, the alien was thrown in their direction. The armoured Saiyan hurtling through the air high over their heads.

Then as Turles straightened himself and coming to a stop, he expected Broly to charge in towards him. But to his surprise, Broly appeared behind him and grabbed onto his wrists. As Turles attempted to look behind him, he received a slam in the back from Broly’s left knee. The armoured Saiyan yelled in pain as he was being pinned in place. Feeling the pain in his arms and his spine. All the while hovering above the heads of the startled citizens. The sight gave Celestia a flashback. He had done the same restraining maneuver on her when they first met. But he wasn’t as hash with her than he was with Turles.

While pinned in place, much to his surprise, Turles couldn’t seem to break Broly’s grip. Getting fed up of being on the receiving end of pain, he shouted out in protest.

“Get your hands of me!”

Gathering his strength, Turles slammed the back of his head into Broly’s face. The larger Saiyan recoiled from the blow and releasing his grip. Once freed, Turles began to speed off. After quickly recovering from the surprise attack, Broly smirked before giving chase.

High above the onlooking crowd, the two warriors were speeding across the sky. Looking over his shoulder, Turles could see Broly closing in on him. But then to his surprise, Broly vanished from sight. It was then Turles felt as though something flew by his side. Overtaking him. After looking back to where he was going, he was shocked to see Broly appearing right in front of him.

‘He’s fast!’

Turles was so awe-stricken from seeing such display of speed, he failed to react from Broly’s upcoming attack. Backhanding the smaller Saiyan by smashing his right fist into his face, the blow sent Turles crashing into the ground on the outskirts of the crowd.

As they watched Turles recover, the group continued to be amazed at Broly. Turles couldn’t even be fazed by their efforts, yet Broly was throwing him around like a rag doll.

Pointing his palm at the downed Saiyan, Broly fired three small ki blasts at him. As he ran on the ground to intercept Broly, Turles managed to bash aside the green energy attacks. But as he was about to take to the skies, Broly suddenly appeared beside him. With a sinister smile on his face, he slammed his right palm into Turles’s stomach. His hand containing a tiny green ball of ki. Then as Broly launched Turles ahead of him, the ball of ki exploded. The pirate Saiyan was sent flying into the base of a cliff. Yelling in pain from the impact. But Broly’s onslaught continued as he rushed over and delivered a punch to the gut. As he kept up his attacks, the painfilled Turles kept being berried within the cliff. Constantly being slammed into the rockface with every punch and kick.

After receiving another boot to the chest, fury began to erupt within Turles.

“BACK OFF!!!”

His energy exploded with his rage, forcing Broly back several feet. Deciding to go on the offensive, Turles charged in to land a punch on Broly. Of which, the larger Saiyan blocked. As the two continued to throw and block punches, they started to levitate off the ground and higher into the air. Their blows sending shockwaves through the air like fireworks. But then as Turles launched another punch to Broly’s face, the larger Saiyan vanished from view once more. Realising what he was doing, Turles done the same.

The two Saiyans once more turned into streaks as they clashed with each other in the air. Violent shockwaves ripping apart the ground. Then as the two were stationary in the air, the two were throwing punches and kicks at such a speed their arms and legs were mostly blurred. That was until Turles saw an opening. Both his hands held purple orbs of energy. Then as he struck, he slammed the orbs on both sides of Broly’s head. Exploding on impact.

“Now you’re mine!” Turles declared from Broly appearing to be stunned.

He then started to unleash a flurry of punches to Broly’s chest and stomach. The blows appearing to affect him greatly. On the ground, most of the group began to feel concerned for Broly. At first, Twilight thought so too. But then she looked closely at Broly’s face. Despite being relentlessly pounded, his expression didn’t show that he was in any sort of pain. True his eyes were shut, but he looked more asleep than in pain. It changed when his eyes opened up. His lips curling up into a grin.

To the shock of the space pirate, he suddenly received a hard knee to the gut. The winded Saiyan then got a headbutt to the forehead. The blow sent him crashing down back to earth.

The onlooking ponies were baffled at what happened. Broly received a flurry of blows and got out of it unscaved. Turles however only received two and was sent flying.

As Turles got back on his feet, he angrily glared at Broly. Hovering high above him. Then as the larger Saiyan stretched his arms to his sides with his palms open, a large cluster of green orbs appeared from out of nowhere. The action caused Turles’s eyes to widen with shock. Then as he threw his arms down, all the green orbs swarmed down towards Turles. Crossing his arms in defense, the armoured Saiyan tried to withstand the damage as the attacks landed or exploded around him. Straining from the forceful blasts.

But just as the blasts seemed to end, Broly suddenly charged in and grabbed onto Turles’s face. Then as he flew, he slammed the smaller Saiyan into the dirt. Squashing him into the ground while dragging him along. Then as Broly turned to toss Turles away, green ki began to build up in his hands. One by one, he tossed his Blaster Shell ability towards the pirate. Turles could only cross his arms yet again in defense. Blocking out the blasts while being forced back.

But as Broly threw the last one, it packed itself with more power. And when it struck Turles, he was sent crashing into a large boulder. The rock shattered on impact.

‘Song end’

The ponies were left awestricken. Turles was a force to be reckoned with. Yet Broly seemed to be winning.

As the tall Saiyan stood motionless, he stared at the shattered boulder. He knew that Turles was still alive. He was just waiting to see what the Goku-lookalike was going to do next.
