"I don't hear anything." Cana said quietly while looking at the palace. Normally Broly's aura or anyone's wouldn't leak out to the surroundings, since the training rooms greatly reduced any kind of leakage. Now in the middle of the city Broly's ki leaked out and made the ground tremble. As soon as the spike of energy leaked out of the palace, Daz, Taro, Zangya and Cana had sprinted here, but they were only greeted by agonizing screams and beast-like growls. It sounded like a beast was mauling people to death, but they knew that it was Broly who was running wild in there.
At this point Daz was starting to sweat as it was the exact time, he had told the new patroller of the Galactic Patrol to be here. Something had to have gone terribly wrong.
A while later Alea and Aize came flying over as well, but like the others they didn't dare to step inside. A raging Broly wasn't something they were able to handle. If Broly lashed out, they wouldn't necessarily come out alive again.
"I don't hear anything either. Should we…step in?" Alea said hesitantly.
"I am going in with Daz. You secure the area, we don't want anyone to enter. Oh, and prevent anyone from leaving this planet either, just in case." Cana said before going in with Daz. It didn't take them long to arrive in the throne room, but the way felt much longer for the two as the time seemed to slow down by the menacing atmosphere. The ground and walls were covered in cracks and the windows were shattered. The only reason why the palace was still standing was because they had put extra effort into the durability of this building. It was the toughest building on this planet by far.
They had finally reached the throne room.
As soon as they saw the sight of the room, they took a sharp breath in. In the middle of the room was a pool of blood with splashes all around it. There were drops of blood tracing from the middle to the door, next to it a trace of something bloody being dragged back to the pool in the middle. There were bloody shreds spread all over the floor, but nothing resembled something complete. Nothing was bigger than a fingertip with the exception of two heads in the middle of the pools. The heads were messily ripped off the shoulders as they were slightly tilted on the stumps. The two faces had only bloody eyeholes. The jaws were loosely dropping onto the ground while the teeth were scattered in front of the heads.
Daz and Cana slowly looked up the throne at the sitting figure, who coldly stared at them. Broly was resting his head on his bloody palm. He slowly tapped his finger on his armrest like a metronome. It was the only thing that sounded out in the room.
"Two assassins." Broly said coldly.
Daz quickly kneeled down, touching the ground with his forehead. "I-This is my fault. I didn't thoroughly checked their profiles. This will never happen again!"
Broly's tapping stopped after Daz spoke.
"Who was in charge of the guards in front of the throne room?"
"I-Her name was Brena, an outstanding warrior from the new generation."
"Did she have a family?"
"She was the lone child, but her parents are in good health. They live in district D."
"Tell them to meet me. Go and recover Brena's body, she should be lying in a storage room in the back corner." Daz' eyes widened before he started gritting his teeth.
"Understood."
"Daz. In the future double check, the identities and make sure all the incoming ships are received by us. Additionally, let our scientist look over this device and make some counter measures. It can let the user appear as someone else and if they have enough samples, it can even mask ki signature. It appears to be a onetime use device though, so let the scientist know before they try it out." Broly pointed his finger at Daz and a small bracelet flew towards him.
"You can leave."
"Understood."
Daz stood up and sprinted out, making his way towards the storage room. He made his way to the end of the room and saw her cold body lying behind numerous boxes. She had a shocked expression on her face and her mouth and chest was covered with dried blood.

Broly looked at Cana and his gaze softened a bit. "Cana, tell the others to come in after I have spoken with Brena's parents."
"Alright. Do you need something else?"
"Yes, I want you to confirm if anyone else was killed by the two. Afterwards go to earth and revive them with the Dragon Balls."
Cana looked at him silently and already knew what storm Broly will cause.
"Understood. I am on my way." Cana left and told the others of the situation. After Broly had told Brena's parents of the situation, they almost broke down, but Broly quickly told them about the Dragon Balls which calmed them down greatly.
It didn't take long until Brena was revived again. She seemed to be the only victim of this whole assassination, besides Kreno, but Broly couldn't care less about him.
Shortly after everything calmed down a lot, the other power houses of Exousia, namely Alea, Taro, Cana and Zangya, came into the now clean throne room.
"Today I was targeted by two assassins going by the name of Sen and Sina. They were famous in the whole universe as someone who could kill almost anyone, even those above their strength. They were sent by an emperor of the Andromeda Galaxy, Mamba. He had promised them a pathetic solar system as a reward.
It appears that since we didn't show ourselves to the public, they think we are some weaklings, they can eliminate whenever they want! Aize you will stay here and keep watch over Exousia. If something happens, call us immediately. For the rest of you, every one of you gather a team of 10 till tomorrow. We will move out tomorrow and crush this fool's empire!"
"Understood!!" The four quickly moved out and started to gather their teams.
"Oh, Mamba. I am going to squish your skull beneath my boot!" Broly mumbled as killing intent was seething out of his body. The throne's armrest was already pulverized under his tight grip.

In the next morning Zangya, Alea, Cana and Taro were standing sturdily on a platform. Behind them 40 elite warriors with 4 spaceships. There were even some elves mixed in them. They had determined gazes as they looked at their King in front of them. By now the assassination was already known by all in the city, something like that spread like wildfire.
"Listen! We are going to the Andromeda Galaxy! Anyone who is in our way, kill! Don't spare a single person of Mamba's force. We are going to eradicate this empire. It shall only be remembered as the empire that dared to try assassinate a King!"
"Ahu!"
"Good! Now step inside your spaceship and move out."
Without saying anything they stepped inside and shortly afterwards, they seemed to blink out of existence. Broly stepped inside his spaceship and disappeared as well.
A few lightyears inside the borders of the Andromeda Galaxy, five spaceships appeared in the empty space. After emerging there, their engine started, and they sped off towards the spiral galaxy in front of them.
Broly didn't know exactly where Mamba was since he was able to hide his ki with some kind of devices, but he knew from Sen and Sina where his spaceship was last. The only reason why they knew of the location was because they could only be hired by someone of status. After hearing their names, Broly figured out that they were actually on the list of the top 100 strongest beings in this universe. They were at place 98 and 95 respectively.
Of course, Mamba was on the list as well, placed 56. There was not much known about his abilities but according to his rank, he should be somewhat formidable. Broly took his necklace off and put his battle armor on. He couldn't afford to play around. He still has no idea how high the difference between ranks was, but no matter how strong Mamba is or what abilities he had, he is going to die.
This wouldn't be a fight. This will be a slaughter fest.
