104 Open (1/2)

He could tell that he was getting closer, after for a minute until the reaction weakened again.

'It's underground again, huh?'

Broly landed where the reaction was the strongest. The surroundings looked the same everywhere. The whole surface was covered with orange-brown rocks that slightly had a metallic sheen to it.

Before Broly was about to dig into the ground, in the corner of his eye, he saw something red in the shadows of the rocks it was covered by. He didn't notice it at first as everything had a similar color. It was only that it was glowing slightly. It wasn't a sunlight reflection, but it was producing it. Without saying anything he walked towards it and quickly cleared it from the rocks with a wave of his hand.

He furrowed his eyebrows as he saw what he was greeted by.

”Is that a gate?” Zangya asked as she came closer. It appeared to be a solid red gate with some faded markings on it. It laid there flat on the ground. Broly stayed quite as he ran his fingers over the markings on it. He could slightly feel a connection to it as he did back on Perditus when he discovered that temple. He instantly understood that this was something left behind by that ancient civilization, the original owners of those Origin Crystals.

He stopped pondering about it. He put his fingertips in the middle of the two halves of the gate as it didn't have any handles and swung the gate open… at least that was what he wanted to do.

Despite exerting himself, he couldn't move it one bit. He slipped with his hands and almost fell on his butt.

He took a step back and frowned. Suddenly his ki rose as his muscles expanded slightly and his eyes turned yellow. A wild storm pushed all the loose rocks in the surroundings away as his hair turned golden. Surprisingly the ground didn't break open under the humongous pressure he now gave off. Although the ground trembled a bit, the planet was mostly unaffected.

He again approached the gate and tried to pry it open. The ground beneath his feet gave in as he put all his might in opening it.

'What a joke! I can shatter entire planets with my bare hands, and I can't fucking open a gate?!' Veins on his forehead started to bulge as he unsuccessfully exerted himself again.

He stopped and straightened his back. He stretched out his hands and pointed his palm at the gate before firing a ki blast. The dust slowly settled only to reveal an unscathed gate.

”Uraghhhh! Fuck this!” Broly screamed out as he flew into the air. High-up he stopped and looked down before his body gave off an even stronger more oppressive pressure as his ki ravages the surface of the planet.

His size grew drastically until he reached 3 meters of height. His hair was shining brightly green as well as his body as it was covered in flame-like ki. It even overtook the sunlight as he illuminated the planet's surface. His muscles were tense as his whole body gave off a crushing aura.

His eyes slowly turned from a green-bluish color to a yellow one. Everyone that would meet his gaze would feel a primal fear in them, urging them to flee as fast and far away as they possible could. It especially was affecting other Saiyans, like it was something genetically wired into them.

Even Alea and Cana couldn't help but shiver every time he transformed, even though they were ones that would see it more often than any other person.

”Oh no!” ”Shit!” ”Seriously?!” The girls panicked as they looked in the air as Broly transformed. They knew what would come next. They quickly transformed as well to withstand the pressure and quickly flew away into space. They quickly arrived way behind Broly and spectated his next move.

He stretched out his arms to the side and crackling ki appeared around him. All the energy around him started to gather inside both of his palms. The energy inside was being compressed into almost solid spheres.

He put both his hands together and fused both spheres into one. It didn't change in size but that didn't mean it didn't rise in power, instead the danger this small green sphere gave off was enough for people to believe that they would die no matter what. And for most this was true!

Broly thrusted his arms.

”Gamma-ray burst!”
