Chapter 269 - 259: Nao Vs Broly! (VI) (1/2)

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

Before the three realized it more time passed even though it was only approaching the five minutes Nao requested of Goku when they transformed into Blue. The golden clockwork gear behind Nao's back pointed at the 9 o'clock position now. It wouldn't be long before he could use the clock to cast Time Stop!

Even though with Nao's current affinity he could only stop time for several moments at best, it would give him enough time to use the technique he's been wanting to use. He wanted to push his saiyan god powers to the limits. It would also give enough time for Goku and Vegeta to teleport away!

Sure when that happened in the original, Broly started to pummel Frieza down, but Nao was also here. He also didn't want Broly to start targeting Miya either. He could tell there was such a large disparity between the two. Their hearts still shared their special link so he could even tell that Miya didn't like such feelings. As to whether he knew Miya actually resolved herself to get stronger after this, he didn't know.

Seeing an enraged Broly howl into the skies in anger letting his vibrant green ki shoot upward into the beyond, Vegeta, who was now next to Nao and Goku, clicked his tongue in annoyance.

”This really isn't the time to be playing around with such a monstrous ki! I fear it may even be more crazy than yours Nao. Yours is more like a raging river while this guy's is just going all over the place!”, Vegeta yelled out with a retort.

”I feel the same way. It's really giving me an itch of excitement! You feel the same way, right Goku?”

”Sure do. Blood's pumpin' like crazy, I love it haha!”, Goku said letting out a light laugh.

”If you got time to laugh then focus your power on this guy! How much longer of that technique do you have left anyway, Nao?”

”About one and a half minutes left. Think You can handle this monster during that?”

”Hmph. You don't need to ask me twice. Even I've been wanting a challenge like this.”

”Good!”

With that said, the three could be seen in their Blue form. Broly let out a roar while Goku and Vegeta flew in. They twirled their body, striking out with their fists. They landed a blow onto Broly's chest but it felt extremely tough and hard on impact. Nao vanished and reappeared, striking at Broly's back. He too felt the sane toughness but he felt his fist indent into Broly's armor unlike the other two.

More time soon began to pass and Nao's clock hand soon started its course again, entering its last quarter. Broly tried to blast the three away with point blank ki blasts but they dodged every time. But Broly took opportunities as well, sending Goku flying by twirling his leg again. Vegeta and Nao managed to dodge each time he tried that and Goku quickly recovered.

The four danced around on top of the endless lava pools. Before long they even rode a huge magma geyser shooting straight high up!

”Let's go, Vegeta, Nao!”

”Damn it all!”

”Yeah!”

Acknowledging Goku, Vegeta cursed out while Nao agreed. Vegeta and Nao flew in. Goku had his back against Nao's and Vegeta did as well. Goku charged up a Kamehameha while Vegeta entered his signature stance, rotating his palms, bringing them high up his chest and pointed them away. Yellow energy condensed in his palms. It was his Galick Gun!

Blue energy condensed into Goku's. Nao locked his palms together horizontally, aiming them directly at the charging Broly. Vibrant bubbly green ki condensed forth. At the same time, they all fired off their charged ki!

A wave of blue, yellow, and green started to spin around each other. Broly responded by charging two green spheres of energy in his palms and dove right in. A large boom echoed once the tricolored blast struck him. BOOM!

Broly felt large resistance this time trying to fight the three energies. His own energy started to crack, and soon dissipated. Letting out another roar of anger, he shifted his body and started to spin around it, narrowly dodging it!

Another thirty seconds passed in a blink of an eye and Nao only had one minute to go. They rode up another magma pillar, only see Frieza standing nearby enjoying the fight. Frieza took a moment to realize he was now standing in the way, but Nao, Goku and Vegeta rushed past him. Frieza only saw a massive Broly reaching his right arm out, obviously trying to grab a hold of him.

”Just a moment! I am Frieza!”, he said yelling out. But Broly disregarded his comment.

Broly flew in and let out another howl. Green energy condensed ln his chest which he then puffed out. Frieza took a point blank ki explosion, sending him flying. Broly now had his attention on Frieza.

Seeing this, Goku and Vegeta let out a quick sigh. He then looked over to Nao and had an apologetic look in his eyes. He spoke out to him while grabbing a hold of Vegeta's hand.

”Sorry Nao but we gotta head out for a bit. Ya sure ya can keep up while we're gone?”

”Yeah. Leave it to me. Frieza getting pummeled is something I want to see and it will help my last minute.”

”Got it. Let's go, Vegeta!”

”Tch.”, Vegeta replied, clicking his tongue. Goku then used Instant Transmission and the two vanished, leaving behind Nao alone. Those two headed straight toward Piccolo, the same location where Goku would teach Vegeta the Fusion Dance!

As for Nao, he let out a sigh, but kept releasing his ki. He backed off a ways, only to see Broly start pummeling Frieza. It was quite nice seeing such painful looks coming off of Frieza's face. He received several kicks as he was pummeled into a large scorched rock formation.

Blood and saliva sprayed from his mouth being kicked in the gut multiple times. Frieza even entered his Golden Frieza form to stop being pushed back.

Before Nao realized it his clockwork struck noon once again. An ancient sound of a gong spread out in all directions. Nao received a weird look from Frieza but the next moment after he transformed, Broly struck out with his fist, shifting Frieza's jaw further way before sending him flying.

Broly and Frieza then started to enter a fierce bout of combat that seemed to go on endlessly.

”Since its still like this, I'll wait for 'him' to make an appearance. My Time Stop is now ready. Can't go Great Ape without one of the main stars can I?”

Sure, he could use this time to launch his Power Ball and save his Time Stop for a crucial moment, but he had no idea what it would be like going into Great Ape one final time, especially as a god. This would be new territory for him, and with each powerup Great Ape can tend to become more unstable until they get used to it.

He wanted to go Great Ape while in god form, achieve gaining control of it, and see if that would trigger ascending into a Saiyan God's true power. The fabled Super Saiyan White!

Nao turned his senses elsewhere while keeping a focused mind, observing Goku teaching Vegeta the Fusion Dance.

He saw the two fail twice, costing them thirty minutes per fail. Frieza kept getting wrecked more and more as time went on. He couldn't handle Broly alone.

And just like that a full hour passed!

Nao, who was focused on himself all this while and also healed his wounds, soon, focused his eyes on a pretty beaten Golden Frieza found in another crater. He was lodged into another giant scorched rock. Broly could be seen a while away in front of him, yelling out. More green vibrant ki emerged from his body in a giant circle, spreading out in all directions.

Seeing this, Frieza couldn't help but smile despite clear injuries on his body.

”Wonderful! What wonderful battle power!”

Seeing Frieza not react any further, Broly shifted his attention onto Nao. He dived bomb right at him, only to have Nao jump high in the air. All of a sudden a humongous ki entered the battlefield, revealing one lone figure. They arrived in front of Frieza.

”W-who are you?”, Frieza asked, not expecting this sudden arrival. Nao jumped high enough getting out of Broly's way and also approached this figure with a smile.

”I am Gogeta! Goku and Vegeta have merged together!”

”Merged?”

”You've been dead for a long time so you wouldn't know. Their two strengths are not just added together, they're significantly greater.”

”That is not fair!”

”You're a fine one to be saying that, Frieza.”

That's right, this new figure was indeed none other than Gogeta! Broly also found himself with another opponent, trying to fight Whis and Vados in the distance.

Luckily Miya reacted quickly and managed to take off with Bulma, avoiding any clash with Broly.

Whis and Vados calmly dodged him, floating side by side after each strike.

”Over here!”, Whis said with a playful voice.

However, once Whis created some distance, he suddenly saw two figures appear in front, leaving Frieza behind in the dust.

”Oh my.”

”Whis, let Nao and I take it from here!”

”So you two can actually merge, I see.”

”Yeah. Nao, you've been waiting long enough, right?”

”It's ready. I'm going to use it.”

Hearing Nao say that, Whis and Vados left the scene arriving back at Miya and Bulma. Vados wished Nao good luck as well.

Unleashing ancient, black ki, the clockwork gear behind him started to shine.

”Time Stop!”

Yelling that out, the black ki immediately spread forth, arriving at Broly's side instantly. He couldn't react before Broly's body suddenly turned grey, and stopped moving. It was as if he turned into a stone statue.

Nao's eyes started to strain once it took effect. He knew he didn't have much time. He squatted a bit and latched his right arm onto his left. He raised his left arm up, opening his palm up.

”Gogeta, if things get out if hand, don't hesitate to strike me down. I don't know if I'll remain conscious during this!”
