The robot stood completely still almost lifeless as Celery approached.

Broly equipped his scouter.

Celery stopped in her tracks, not wanting to be caught off guard and sent a single ki blast towards the robot but before it could connect with the robot, it was pulled towards the floor and fizzled out.

'A gravity field? No problem!' Celery thought as she jumped high into the air. As she leapt forward she felt the air around pull her down, she front-flipped, copying the move she saw Aspa do and sent an overhead leg towards the robot.

CRASH!

Celery's foot stopped a few centimetres on front of the robot, obstructed by a strange clear sphere.

'A force field?' Celery thought confused.

"Hmph!" Celery covered his foot in ki and pressed down against the barrier, shattering it completely.

'This makes more sense' Broly thought assuredly, he was slightly confused at why the robots the Saiyans were fighting weren't making proper use of Tsufurian technology. Broly himself could create a robot, more powerful than the one's Aspa and Mushro fought.

IQ silently stepped back, dodging the downward smash, allowing Celery to hit air and extended one of its elastic arms. Celery raised both her arms defensively, guarding her chest but the Robot changed its trajectory and gripped Celery's leg.

Celery coated both her legs with and ki and leaned forward, pushing her weight down. IQ then coated it's own arm with white transparent ki and whipped it's arm high into the air, sending Celery flying.

Celery's brows furrowed as she tilted her head, eyes fixed on the Robot.

IQ then merged its arms together, forming a cannon and charged the ki inside, firing a long beam at Celery, pushing her into the air.

'What a combo!' Broly thought.

The entire exchange took place in under 10 seconds and both fighters moved with purpose and attacked quickly. IQ seemed to have considered every single action that took place.

Celery brought her ki to her feet hovering in the middle of the air, regaining her momentum.

"She's Flying!" the crowd roared, mesmerised by the superhuman feats taken place. The Tuffles still couldn't get over the fact people could do such things without technology.

IQ ran to the edge of the stage and increased the gravity, doubling the stress on Celery.

Celery struggled in the air, her body drifting towards the floor but she managed to stay above the ground.

IQ then sent a stream of ki blasts at Celery, which all exploded on impact, then it stretched its arm at Celery through the explosion and pulled it's arm down.

"Nope!" Celery shouted, grabbing onto the arm pulling it towards herself. IQ leaned back, shifting its weight opposite to the direction Celery was pushing, resisting her strength.

But Celery was too strong, Celery heaved and pulled IQ off of its feet sending the Robot soaring through the air. IQ's processor stuttered its algorithms working hard to find the best course of action, IQ then lengthened its other arm and swung it around Celery, restraining her mid-air.

Celery grunted in outrage as she was squeezed by the robot, she was barely able to fly towards the stage and crash land as the robot squeezed onto her.

Jagged razor blades surfaced from the IQ's body shifted wildly around the surface slashing Celery's body several times. The blades travelled across Celery's body quicking slashing and cutting everything it came in contact with. Saiyan skin was strong but Tsufurian alloys were stronger, the razor blades continued to cut Celery with little resistance.

Celery's anger grew as she was slashed repeatedly, she pushed ki to the surface of her skin but the robot clung determinedly. Celery felt pain all over her body, a strong agitation rising in her chest.

"GET OFF!" she screamed helplessly.

"Such a shameless strategy," Mushro couldn't help but criticize.

"Do the Tuffles not have honour? Clinging onto their opponents like children!" Paragus called out, pained to see Celery writhe.

"The actions of the robot definitely seems to be unnecessary, it could have won by ring-out multiple times now, it looks like it wants to cause unnecessary damage," Broly thought.

The cheering among the Tsufurians in the stands died out, they were watching a woman being assaulted by a robot and when the theatrics and flashy moves were out of the way, they saw the scene for the violence it was.

Dr Engine, the creator of IQ, winced as he saw the scene.

'I didn't make those razors' he thought guiltily as he saw Celery flail like a beached whale.

Dr Engine then left the stands, trying to find the person who tampered with his Robot.

'This was supposed to be a show, the level of brutality should have been limited to sparring practise, this can't go on!'

Queen Nana signalled for one of her ministers to call off the fight.

"I SAID GET OFF ME!" Celery screeched, her arms finding new strength and tearing down IQ's grip.

Metal cried out in agony as Celery tore off the arm of the robot and sunk her fingers into IQ tearing its metal body.

The same terrifying yellow aura appeared once again, swallowing Celery whole. Her hair, that was neatly tired up, rose as malevolent energy overtook her.

"HUARRGGH!" she screamed as she stomped the robot into the ground, her feet breaking many of the razors that tormented her earlier. Not even 3 seconds had passed since Celery transformed and the robot already crumbled like paper. It was battered beyond belief and was in no condition for fighting.

The minister who Queen Nana had sent, froze staring at the angry Saiyan who stood over Tsufurian machinery defiantly, he then quickly fled back to Queen Nana's side as she had several guard robots stationed around her.

"GAME!" the announcer shouted, as the match concluded.

"Whoa!"

"Amazing!"

"Look at that!"

The Tsufurians in the crowd regained their cheer as the saw the strange state again, their curious eyes fixed on Celery's empowered figure, all of them, racking their brains and calling on their different field to try and see what was going on. To them the there was a myth-like aura surrounding the Saiyans and that idea had grown more and more as the Saiyans went above and beyond.

'Sure enough! The same 20x multiplier! It looks like Saiyans really can enter such a state! I wonder if I can as well' Broly thought excitedly, many thoughts going through his head.

The ominous aura around Celery faded and she collapsed to the ground tiredly.

Mushro and Paragus looked at each other with visible concern, this was the second time this happened and just looking at Celery's body made them feel grim. They could tell that while there was an explosive increase in power, their bodies would need a long time to recover.

"I don't like this," Mushro said aloud.

"That last fight felt....off," Broly said, suspiciously.

"Hmmm, in any case, I'm next," Paragus said, stepping out onto the stage.
