"Have you noticed that the emperor is behaving weirdly lately?" A hushed voice came from a pink alien receptionist. She was asking her colleague who was hurriedly working off some paper work.
"What do you mean?" It seemed like he was too deep into work that he didn't notice anything around him and only answered unconsciously.
"You know, since that guy came to talk with him, the emperor is frantically ordering his elites to search for someone."
Now her colleague stopped working and looked at her. "Search for someone, search for who?". She only shook her head. "How am I supposed to know that? I only know that it had to be someone important. He even cancelled several meetings and peace talks with the other True Emperors."
"He did?!" Her colleague was shocked, hearing this news. Their emperor had made preparation for years to gain the alliance of several surrounding emperors.
To give that all up would mean an incomparable loss for his whole empire, not to mention that these emperors would surely be pissed.
"Maybe it has something to do with those Saiyans. They seem to prepare something big. All their troops were called back-"
Before he could say more, the door to the majesty's office was flung open. Their emperor stepped out in great strides.
"Cancel everything for today. I will be going out with someone." Their emperor said hurriedly before he disappeared out of their sight, leaving behind two subordinates severely confused.
Their emperor was usually steadfast and always calm. His strength and his experience on the battlefield had let him stand firmly in between the many emperors and True Emperors. One could say with certainty that he was one of the true powerhouses of their universe.
Now it seemed like he was anxiously running away. They didn't know what to feel but even if they knew what was happening nothing be of would concern for these two lowly subordinates.

The emperor was a bipedal rhino with a tall and strong body. Several cuts covered his face and neck, in every other situation he would give off an intimidating presence but now he was sitting in a suit that was obviously way too small for him. He had his hands on his lap as if he was afraid of knocking something over.
It was a ridiculous and pathetic image of a known fierce emperor. He was turning around hurriedly as if he was looking for someone but even after waiting for over half an hour, no one had arrived. He was sweating profusely. His suit was already drenched, only after waiting for an hour, a voice suddenly called out to him from behind.
The rhino emperor only felt the cold sweat on his back and the feeling of imminent death. Although the person that had appeared behind him was probably the one, he was looking, he didn't dare to turn around.
"Name, appearance and last location. 30 million universal credits." The indifferent voice continued.
"Everything… is in… here…sir." The rhino held a folder up as he scrambled the words together. Before the rhino could react, the folder disappeared and his body unconsciously relaxed. He knew that the legendary assassin, he just hired, had disappeared again.

Hit was sitting on a desk in a giant room with a luxurious furniture and decoration. He opened the folder he just got from his client and the first thing was a black credit card.
It was a traceless card, so one could transfer one's money without needing to consider anything but Hit was always cautious. Although he believed that there was no one in this universe stronger than him, he wouldn't take any risk. There were still things he could lose.
He took out a device and placed the card on it. After a few seconds it glowed green and confirmed that the card was emptied. He then took out another black card and transferred the money on his own card.
This device was especially created for the few true elites in this universe. Without minding the money, he turned to the second page and looked at the picture of his target and his physical description.
Hit saw the small symbol in the upper right corner. Hit only nodded as it was the symbol of the universal intelligence. They had the best information gathering in the whole universe.
Even Hit was sometimes depending on their service if the data coming from the client was insufficient. If he wanted even better information, he needed to gather it personally. He focused on the figure that was being displayed.
A slightly tanned, tall and muscular man without any noticeable scars. A Saiyan with no records of previous accomplishments in the Sadala Defense Force or their mercenary squad.
Last location was a barren planet that didn't sustained a single life. Seen meditating and not moving since a week ago.
There were several ki peaks when he was meditating that destroyed the sensors and cameras of the most advanced sensors.
Hit couldn't help but feel shocked as he was reading this. The latest sensors could read battle powers up to a 100 billion. Few True Emperors were moving around that level of powers and only if they went full power. Now this Saiyan was simply meditating and released that kind of power, not something to be heard of from this race.
Although he was inwardly shocked, Hit's expression didn't change in the slightest. Even this kind of strength wasn't considered a threat for him. Against his time skip it was all the same. He had a 100 percent success rate, after all. Although he was thinking that it, he hoped that this Saiyan called Broly would be more challenging.
Of course, he knew that he wasn't the strongest being in existence. He knew about the gods of destruction and the other universes, but as he couldn't enter the other universes, he was uninterested in them.
Since he had all the information that he needed, he disappeared from his room and boarded his spaceship, on his way to the planet this Saiyan was residing on.
****
Broly's head was sweating profusely with a frown on his face. He was levitating cross-legged. Lightning arcs were appearing around his near periphery, but with time these lightning arcs disappeared until only the green glow around his body remained.
He suddenly opened his eyes and a tremendous amount of ki was radiating out of his body. His frame increased to 2.4 meters and his hair glowed in a bright green color. The strength he was radiating out was even on a higher level than his legendary Super Saiyan 3, however, the iconic hair was missing.
Broly was currently working on making the transformation Super Saiyan 2 and 3 obsolete. He tried to combine these Super Saiyan forms to a new one that was never seen before.
Why he didn't try Super Saiyan 4? He knew that with Super Saiyan 3 he had achieved the theoretically limit of the Super Saiyan power. After all, 3 used all the potential in one's body and utilized it to reach the utmost limit of this power.
But he guessed that he could combine these transformations. The explosive strength of Super Saiyan 3 and the low consumption of 1.
Theoretically, he should be able to do it if he restricted his body from growing taller. He already did it with the second legendary state, reducing his size of 3 to 2.5 meters.
He noticed that in his normal legendary state the energy expands his body to a natural maximum and the rest of the energy was being leaked outside.
With the second transformation, his body grew even stronger than before as he compressed the energy inside.
Although the third transformation was near perfect in the way it handled all the previous unused ki, a large amount was actually wasted in the hair as his body wouldn't be able to handle its own full potential of energy.
The excess energy was redirected into the hair, making it grow rapidly. The energy was being practically vented with his hair, which was why his body didn't grow in the third transformation as it had an outlet and the rest needed to be forcefully kept inside.
This of course, leads to a heavily burdened body, which was why Goku wasn't able to use it for long.
When Broly first transformed, he did it instinctually and didn't realized this little flaw as he thought it was meant to be this way. He had seen it numerous times in the series, after all.
Now his body was 2.4 meters with what felt like unlimited trapped energy. Broly placed his feet on the ground and felt the changes in his body. He could feel the increase of strength, but he knew that he could go even further beyond.
He cancelled the transformation and threw in a healing capsule. He looked at the shimmering blue sphere that was surrounding a few hundred meters around him.
He placed it, so it would prevent any leakages of his ki, but his magic power couldn't suppress the full strength of him, inevitable leaking some of his ki to the outside.
"Hm?" Broly turned his head and saw an approaching spaceship.
