Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hHjH7eaXA
Bardock: “Working under you gave me the opportunity to be the warrior I craved to be, I can admit that, but I think I speak for every saiyan when I say we're tired of being under your watch. We were born to be free and fight for our pleasure! Not for your convenience! This ends now! Frieza!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq56G5VEyH1
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBQNQAmS1K
Frieza: “No, no. He went through all the trouble of fighting off my soldiers and confronting me directly. I cannot explain why but I feel like I owe him this last duel. Perhaps then this monkey will realize his pathetic place in this universe when he draws his last breaths.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8Z4az4eTr
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAzWII0jeI
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadpQzDz2Jx
The saiyan warrior launched a fist full of fury and pride. The mighty emperor redirected his punch with a palm strike to his arm. Bardock turned right back around and rushed Frieza with a combination of fierce and rapid punches and kicks. Frieza had no trouble evading and blocking each strike. A smirk was firmly printed on his face, showing the saiyan who was truly in control. Bardock jumped back and quickly shot a ki blast at the tyrant. Frieza stopped the blast with his bare hand. The explosion was a mere calculated distraction from the proud warrior. The smoke hid Bardock's location, giving him the chance to deliver a full power kick to Frieza's liver, followed by a punch, charged with ki, to his face. The blows sent Frieza back a few feet. His smirk was wiped from his face, shifting into an irritated frown.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJS1aV6X13
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPgFQX3A6U
The emperor made his move, striking Bardock's rib with his pinky finger at a blinding speed. The saiyan spit blood and lost his balance. Frieza swung his tail, slamming it into his face, knocking more blood out. He struck him a few more times before piercing his leg with a small beam he shot from his finger. Blood gushed out from the wounded warrior's leg. He yelled in agony and held his injured area. The sadistic emperor went for another shot at the saiyan's shoulder this time.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U06EIzN8y
Frieza: “It's a shame knowing you're the last one standing from your side of this war. The prince is under my control and the remaining saiyans are nothing to worry about. The saiyan race has fallen!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlcEYrTvor
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGWqLw0ywn
Bardock: “I guess I was right to think ahead hehe. You're wrong! The saiyan race will never truly fall! You may have conquered all of our remaining warriors, but there's one more! Kakarot! Remember that name! Frieza!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5wFSb7cgo
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU9uIgNf5X
Bardock accepted his fate, but he refused to die in such an insulting manner and let out one final burst of energy from his palm. Frieza raised his finger, generating a massive ball of energy that resembled a sun.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qJmJQ2ayT
Frieza: “My original intentions were to wipe out all of you monkeys with this war so I could salvage this planet for my own, but perhaps it's best that I make sure no trace of your once thriving society remains.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKsLjlq1OC
He lowered his finger, tossing the sphere at Bardock's direction. The attack completely disintegrated Bardock's final stand. With no power left to fight back, the last soldier of the saiyan resistance succumbed to his inevitable fate.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG8Znbesyk
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qk632vzaF
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKxFxcYeU6
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPS0NzcCHL
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5RXpYoWEO
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0rsHpqnyK
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G178R7m3j
Commander Red: “How dare you pretend you have a moral high ground! You and I both know you loved every moment out there! You live for this…Kakarot!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ699BEtRDQ0
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6qxI3iYBG
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHXKQwpORm
The saiyan chopped the Commander in half with his bare hand. He crashed through the roof of the building they stood in and flew off.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ7Gfu48sr
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06aH9vmkVN
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw3UCAFow0
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsEPL7hRC5
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlju06tjXK
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA7uu1YPXU
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUIMJm6Ogt
Kakarot: “My ear piece was damaged during battle. The martial artists from before stepped in but I finally settled the score with them. No one will ever hurt us again.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMD5r841df
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbHEyjd5VN
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hqsxz8chy
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxQvVjwUVA
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9RoJDm0T0
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHVJECf16a
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVvvH88lLX
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGElIPzRoYJ
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FMJZu2afb
Kakarot: “I have no interest in leading these people, they can do whatever they want as far as I care, just as long as we're left unbothered. We should start by thinking about our future.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojW44OjtIz
For months, the war between Kakarot and the earth's alliance had dragged on, many fell victim to Kakarot's might before the combined forces of the government and even the red ribbon army had fallen, finally ending the conflict. The best martial artists on the planet had their own turmoil with the saiyan but they unfortunately faced the same fate as the rest of his opposition. Despite the terrors that took place, a period of tranquility was achieved at last. A peace that would last for a few years to come.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG5K9k2lvx
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJaoEVWK3U
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrCHnB87F6
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nxIwGb4Kd
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cT54gxteq
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq9bewOTeG
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGoO4lbhCt
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYoOF7ce5h
Kakarot: “I haven't even begun to comprehend what lies beyond our planet, what goes on outside our universe was never really of my concern.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ3faPXcvn
Bulma: “Well, I've studied quantum mechanics as much as I've studied engineering and there's theories suggesting the possibility of a multiverse. An infinite set of parallel worlds like our own but with minor or sometimes major differences.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3lfiWJ0jg
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECIUHsTg1m
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc8gA4UCHN
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMNMYjWig1
Bulma: “That explains a lot. This isn't just any vehicle though, once I get it figured out, this baby will be able to take us across dimensions! Look, I know we will never be able to undo the damage we caused, I've accepted it was for the greater good, but with this, we could go to other worlds where we exist and prevent this disaster! We can work together and create harmony so they don't have to live with our guilt!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94iTaxaBcf
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sHustohJ4
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzye7hHvkxn
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZzCIwsE6p
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBpFBIOUjK
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2FarSpbwU
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GYkOrnsuQ
Bulma: “You know how that boy is, he said he was going to pick some things up from the city, but I'm almost certain he's out in the woods again.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep1SlK4qdh
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQCTN9YuOQ
Beet: “Haaa!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wB6p9VANO
Beet kicked at the beast that stood before him, knocking one of its teeth out. The dinosaur remained determined and swung its massive tail at the child who just barely reacted in time to evade it. The dinosaur charged at him, chomping it's jaws at Beet. The boy struggled to escape every bite.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHZgD0v2mc
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxbr1vMD8p
Beet was whacked by the creature's tail, knocking him over. The dinosaur opened its jaw revealing its terrifying teeth. Beet closed his eyes shut and covered his face, preparing for the worst. The dinosaur bit down, but to his surprise, there was nothing there.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uvzoOhppT
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebVS3t3GtP
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypEJ5CjWtO
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8s0So7IXP
Kakarot: “You're focused on the wrong objective. You can strike its head as many times as you want and it still has the chance to get up again. But-”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliyxmoK1Nt
Kakarot snatched the dinosaur's tail and tore it off in the blink of an eye. A big smile took over his face, overcoming his usual serious demeanor. His smile quickly faded as he saw the blood that leaked from the tail.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzh8DHUN4j
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx1BhZoynY
A memory of the bloodshed from the war that had taken place crossed through his mind. He took a deep breath for a moment. The dinosaur fled from the scene in fear. Beet darted after it. Kakarot snapped out of his trance.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuL3ml6RwZ
Kakarot: “Enough”!
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR45kTNp70g
Beet: “Huh?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogwrn5CixT
Kakarot: “I already got us a boar for dinner, there's no need to kill an opponent that can't fight anymore. It's broken beyond repair, don't carry the burden of being the one who took its life.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2sZpCWCi7
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf396cRtaf
Kakarot: “Everything we do is for survival. If we need to eat then we'll kill, if we need to defend ourselves then we'll kill. But that thing had nothing left to fight with. There's no reason to finish it off.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpfx0hEU0f
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTuIJ8Nzcu
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AtDvaEtOC
Beet: “Right!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly8k7LwGSz
The family sat outside around a bonfire. The young Beet was tuckered out from his big day, he rested his head on his mother's lap, giving in to his fatigue. She caressed his soft hair and smiled. Kakarot kept his head low, pondering away at some troublesome thoughts. He caught a glimpse of Bulma staring and immediately looked away, hoping she wouldn't notice.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTR7Q1opSd
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0bYBvTSCq
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hSQjalgTO
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZitJ0N737b
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB9WUdvTq6
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsHhAdDkm0
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4gKYqIDCB
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar5SHTJnCp
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HXuxYYeBI
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9oq1KQwrA
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQz1msvd0e
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfEdosmEuq
Bulma: “Yeah, you weren't exactly a scholar per se, haha! Cramming in those study sessions must be just as new for you as it is for him.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnz5UP7v0Q
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcbG5S3AQ8

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PbxaBBGtI
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOohdApGTXq

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPX3sbte2o
“Only a fool would continue this struggle, if we surrender to their commands, at least our people will get to live another day. I'm sorry, Colonel, call off our men.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpZ2Y76wJ7
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JEVmjqR8Y
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iBedHLF2Y
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWN5P2sMEc
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YrTn5gEp8
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9iYtYrK8r
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckZSJP1q6m
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXdb61nbS6
King Tuffle: “I have withdrawn my forces as you requested. We'll form an alliance like you desired and lend a hand in your fight. As long as you keep your side of the deal and let us be after it's all done.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWOuQnutfS
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELhyCoJhoQ
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt8kK6GzvS
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqfEPKMdyb
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOYo6N5GeZ
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAcKXgellY
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOjF76RmnV
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxwCE5kRaV
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoQ72zzVSM
Bulma chuckled.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3F31vHV5g
Bulma: “Well, as long as we get this baby done, do as you please! You know, I'm surprised you went along with this after all.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF50IM3cRN
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPNPw7sKYK
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0vlzCZSZF
Beet: “Momm!!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55BcoWZfHM
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaSEiFQL6A
The busy mechanic rushed to her son's needs. Kakaort returned to his work but was almost immediately interrupted by a shout coming from outside.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz4rVJa4Qw
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkzqsPND6o
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjisY9UpDyE
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGKC6yx34H
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6omXfJ4FL
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo40zLNjpj
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW1JiZkKdu
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9sQezJKw8
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXilXAVKXx
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OeUHN6T6r
Kakarot: “You're playing a risky game coming here and demanding to see me all of a sudden. I don't care what you're here for, leave my planet or I'll make you!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡullC22hv4Q
Raditz: “So, the planet does belong to you after all. That's good to hear. This will be a perfect base to rebuild the saiyan empire hehe.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzCZQocCYA
Kakarot: “Enough!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvR6MKHUw1
Kakarot flung himself at the unsuspecting saiyan. Raditz noticed at the last second but still managed to evade the frustrated warrior's attacks with ease.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56F9R79bPx
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpOSWyv3yX
Kakarot threw a fierce punch which Raditz evaded at blinding speed. His movement played tricks on the saiyan's eyes, leaving behind only an after image with the real Raditz having already got a hold of Kakarot's blind spot. He smacked him away with a mighty backhand.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVkv4TnTa4
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsy8WnViSm
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPCGgDb76M
Beet: “Sir!!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuSvR4n7ir
Beet rushed to his father's aid, throwing a kick at his uncle. Raditz flicked the child away with a strike from his tail. Beet crashed to the floor, hanging onto his consciousness.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDloUJaoim
Bulma: “Beet!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXAenA1rLi
Raditz: “The boy will be fine, don't worry about him. That look on your face, Kakarot, it's almost as though you've never tasted absolute defeat like this hehe.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksGGPnl0gI
Kakarot's breaths were heavy, his body was petrified from fear. The feeling was instantly overwhelmed by a sudden rush of adrenaline. Before he knew it, his body stood, almost on its own. He rushed his brother once more, his blows were suddenly sharper and swifter than before. Raditz found himself putting in effort to defend the assault. Raditz blocked a kick with his forearm only to have it be immediately followed up by an elbow to his face. With only seconds to react, he stopped the attack with his palm, just barely avoiding contact. His eye twitched in irritation.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiLT7Ap741
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInDB0qPVrJ
He drove his knee straight into Kakarot's stomach, ending his sudden burst instantly. Kakarot collapsed to the ground, his body refused to answer his demands, seemingly paralyzed. He gasped for air, struggling to speak. Raditz raised his hand, reaching towards the defeated man. Bulma yelled at him to stop as Kakarot flinched, accepting his fate. There was a sudden pause from Raditz. Kakarot opened his eyes again, only to see his older brother reaching out to lend a hand. Surprised, Kakarot used his remaining strength to force his hand up and got a grip of Raditz's hand. Raditz helped him to his feet before letting him go.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N8E7Fc93z
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbXrJBZz9Q
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUq6pTBKVW
Raditz: “That's right, I'm your older brother, Kakarot. It may seem a little jarring, but you're from another planet, one that has long since ceased to be. You were presumably sent here to conquer this world, although I never understood why planet 4032-877 of all places.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ABRDBvigK
Kakarot: “I always knew I was different. The people of this world made that clear to me, but I never imagined I'd be from a completely different world.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡampmvQaJo9
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtkaYQ8oeY
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpbhFWeqmu
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTNz6q5HTa
Raditz: “Right, I should cut to the chase. My name is Raditz, sorry for not properly introducing myself earlier. I'm not here for some late family reunion, I'm here to recruit you, little brother.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxKuGogzQR
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnCP2RN3ts
Raditz: “Our Race has long since been reduced to mere numbers you can count with your fingers alone. It wasn't by no natural causes however, our kind were victims of a genocide from a tyrant known as Frieza. He enslaved our people and forced us to do his bidding for decades until we finally stood up to him and waged war against him and his forces. As fate may have had it, our forces soon fell, the rebellion failed and frieza believed it to be easier to simply wipe us out for good. There were some of us however who didn't partake in the war, we were off on duty, unaware of all that went down. For years, Frieza deceived the remaining saiyans into believing a meteor had struck down our planet. We recently found out it was all a lie invented by Frieza to keep the remaining of us loyal to him. What he doesn't know is that neither of us ever took pride in serving him! But this isn't just about fighting for our freedom anymore, this is for our proud race that he dared to look down upon! Join me, brother, let us retake our honor by slaying this bastard!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64oDRJVT02
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2rzeRfChB
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6omOaJzxy
Kakarot: “He took everything from you, my life is here, on earth. Besides, I've fought a war all my life, I don't want to jump into another one after we just reached a peaceful era.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHjMrmWsY0
Raditz: “I see.. Well, then let me spend the night with you brother, just for us to connect a bit before I return to my comrades.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTouImLPGj6
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ntmXQjnZk
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTuZKuxWCW
Raditz: “You have my word.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHMEenBl49
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8POlDs2QW
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5R6rSX6fd
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1xLCsiY9T
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfl1VeDvM7
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1te2V9Ch7E
Raditz: “You worry too much, child, you're a saiyan like the both of us, a bit of a runt I'll say, but a saiyan nonetheless. You'll grow to be much stronger when you're older. Doesn't that excite you?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzyyyboZkp
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWYDrNqzyk
Raditz chuckled.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4vVJATNSr
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhpsm13BMx
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwIMYeWcvt
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKqNQcfOeC
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4SjBcxGsl
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy5mNnJMVl
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5YHSyjncj
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwemjuAhtx
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRwzIprO6i
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4HuONHM8W
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r01rs7jiK
Bulma: “Honey, I think I'm gonna sleep early. Don't stay up too late, okay? I still don't really trust him, it's best we get the day over with soon.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSJ9Wju9sO
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBL3uVH932
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4032UpDBX
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNhGeYtb9q
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUd2YTD40K
Raditz took a deep breath.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJM57HLLbp
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7PxTUmiHd
Kakarot did not question his sibling and partook in his request. The two left the house and walked out into the night sky. Raditz levitated high into the air and Kakarot followed. Raditz came to a sudden halt. He faced the night sky, illuminated by the countless stars, miles away.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibOXuwITl3
Raditz: “Take a look, brother, the universe is infinite. Why would you limit yourself to such a pointless, finite world like this one? Don't lie to yourself, this mundane life doesn't suit our kind. We're warriors! Born to fight!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn61eNyPqQ
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM7m5p2wOp
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2L7tKtZGw
Kakarot: “I've never faced much of a threat on this planet, I've never truly been pushed to my limit. Earlier, when you humiliated me in our battle, I felt something. A rush, one like no other. I was going to die and yet I felt more alive than ever. What was that?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH9MsF35bg
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5PTvgz0CA
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLFfl0cln2
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSu9mXotHA
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1MFcfWZLJ
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFGbBT3OjA
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnL6r1bxaB
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WyOPkYj6m
Raditz: “Vaguely, I've heard about him before though. He was a powerful leader of an elite squad. Rumor has it, he was the one who led the rebellion against Frieza. Our father was a great man, Kakarot. Don't you want to take after his footsteps?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdmWDZ6PgD
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEk0Bt5QjC
Raditz: “I leave tomorrow, I have an extra pod you can take so you can tag along. I can take you to meet the prince so you can join our alliance.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rw9Wsom6c
Kakarot: “The prince?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphrctwitzv
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLMFew9pon
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkSsD1jvsa
Bulma: “I don't understand! We're finally at peace and now you want to run off into another fight that isn't even your own?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG8DTSVF8E
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUWyDc29HG
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpKgFkiZ3P
Kakarot: “….”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q3ooajeW8
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjFQc73Hhv
Kakarot: “For most of my life, I was neglected by the earthlings, I was different and there was no one to guide me through this unwavering sense of inferiority! They're like me, I want to meet them, I need to. Besides, I can't shake this feeling that this is my calling.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC5X4VOkhT
Bulma hesitated to reply.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pYWZ0jZWp
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2nhHWxg6y
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx27JG3DJFj
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d2IdJcmML
Beet: “Sir!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zM3AI3HfA
He came face to face with his father.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSz8yTEMcG
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjq9QIkzoI
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNFDxCs1qI
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqHrAeTrVL
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjxOmoIELQ
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGd3ojq82T
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtKo2uYVkV
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bAN9WlaNl
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6fpuMsBbX
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIqqA4hOMX
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6axXqkzSWC
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhTBcgRmm4
Raditz: “Well, aside from me, the other two saiyans are Nappa and the prince, Vegeta. Unlike us, they're top level elites with the prince being the absolute most powerful.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSXeB3tOHg
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZntevDccIw
Raditz: “They are, especially the prince. He's the strongest saiyan in history! They're both proud warriors, like me of course. You're on your way to becoming one of us too.’
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnmVIWx6Ec
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqszWblNCSa
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2c12YIujy
In the span of a few hours, the pods arrived at their destination. The Prince and his comrade awaited their arrival, preparing to greet them once they landed. The pods crashed into the designated area, revealing the two saiyans aboard them. Kakarot fought to keep his composure, but couldn't help but smile after gazing upon the mighty warriors that stood before him. He approached them, taking a knee after reaching them.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObrXqqfVW7
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sTKiJDl2G
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uu28TxtIw
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLPvXy65N7
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeODewDUFkm
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPB3PEaKIE
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsssFB5t0Dp
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl71SB58wk
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC553YrCrTF
The prince hesitated.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvPnCq8TDq
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBOqKxtrZF
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4SzCJ2Zj1
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj4USvJG03
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WmTrDnVnO
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dyE6pXl3v
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3jFQnyHTq
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwoLv8fFgp
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnkgo1rZ7c
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbrY5kheT4
Kakarot examined his surroundings, quickly taking notice of the highly guarded area. The soldiers that surrounded them didn't appear to be saiyans, but they wore similar apparel. Aside from small animals and critters, no other signs of life were present. The vast land ahead of them was empty, only them and the soldiers occupied the space. They entered a large, elegant building with huge pieces of glass art, depicting an unknown civilization of people. They came to a halt in front of a throne with various seats. The prince took his rightful place on the throne as Nappa sat on a seat right beside, displaying a sense of authority. Kakarot and Raditz took a seat on a more mundane section, next to the Colonel in command of the Tuffle army.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiakrtp8UP
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApgfUYZBpM
Kakarot: “Yes, he told me about Frieza and what he did to our people. I've agreed to help you crush him on behalf of the saiyan race!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa0d3V9L4i
Vegeta: “You've got spirit, but it's going to take more than that to defeat this scum. You see, aside from his troublesome power, Frieza also wields a powerful army. In order to get to Frieza, we have to get rid of that pesky army first. We've made an alliance with the Tuffle race, he who sits beside you is the commander of their military in fact. Having them on our side is a big help, but we can't be too careless, we need to recruit more allies. Until we get the remaining forces, we must lay low.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGxdYGIYoL
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw4Y9dof4z
Vegeta: “We've been eyeing a planet known as Tatsu. We hear their kind are great for combat, and legend has it, amongst them is one they call Amaterazu. If he's as strong as they say, forcing him to submit to our leadership could be just the advantage we're looking for!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3fqWRwsqk
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTGq8i9egX
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAswU7qbX4
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXYbtM9CyJ
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtrmH4qEh8
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xFn288RMV
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDpTgrwhlK
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHScLCQOgU
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiyy7hnQ6P
Vegeta: “I'm having doubts about your little brother, you sure his mind hasn't been corrupted from being away from his people for that long?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1PLEj9NkR
Raditz: “I'll admit, he's a bit of an oddball, but you know me, Prince, I can get him on board, just trust me. Take him to planet Tatsu with us, I'll work my magic.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uZYo4vvNC
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJWSpLxjKY
The pair made their way back to the room where the rest waited in silence. Vegeta took his place on his throne, continuing his speech.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr70k4byFWH
Vegeta: “Ahem, like I said, we'll be paying the Tatsu race a visit. If luck is on our side, they'll be just what we need to turn the tide on Frieza. Until further notice, we can't make too much commotion though, if Frieza finds out we're plotting against him, it's over. Now then, prepare your pods, we're leaving at noon. You're all dismissed.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvouWvdAN0c
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2sHGkajAl
Kakarot: “Raditz, are we really going to kill all of them if they don't comply? What good would such an act even do for us?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVHC8hac0h
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzXcDDa6Av
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SB8PM95RK
Raditz: “Listen, if we let them live, there exists the possibility of Frieza getting to them and getting information we'd rather he didn't have. We can't take that risk. It's just another sacrifice in the name of the greater good is it not? It's not their fault we chose them, but it's not our's that Frieza enslaved us after killing our kind. In order to win some, others must lose some. That is war, for someone that has lived in one all their lives, I'm sure you can understand it.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSQnpWiLtP
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzUhPlZU1Z
Raditz: “Now quit your whining, this is going to be your official, first real fight. Aren't you excited? Don't you want to feel that thrill again?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1XLJCDakd
Kakarot's mood took a sudden turn. A smirk fueled by excitement lit up on his face. He clenched his fists as if the mere thought of battle pumped up his adrenaline.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKbz5ois4v
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRfYA3V04m
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCz5KnVeGf
Kakarot: “Please, brother, let me have another go, even if it's just for a few minutes! I want to fight! I want to be a great saiyan like you, and like Prince Vegeta.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8UHvh0Zf5
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsrtoJnj5z
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqbJqrQ8gs
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnSbS1ZjON
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ9iSt661h
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvCITlMi0L
Raditz: “Hehe, what can I say? Can't help being strong! Hmm… there might be a way for you to hold your own y’know?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLr3hwE4CL
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfkLdyBTTC
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlqgDRnLSQ
Raditz raised his hands just above his shoulders. His ki surged into both of his palms, forming purple shaded ki spheres. He released them, shooting forward dual ki waves. He detonated them before they made contact with their surroundings.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hg4DN6eQw
Kakarot: “What was that?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdj64Eb5yC
Raditz: “That's my special move, I call it the Double Sunday. By focusing your energy into a single point, you can let out an attack with more power than your average strike. It took me a while to master this technique, but with practice, you should be able to come up with one of your own.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKav6ILcyQB
Kakarot: “You never cease to amaze me. Tell me, brother, if Vegeta is the prince, then where do you and Nappa fall in the hierarchy as the last of our kind?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6hiDyboKb
Raditz: “Nappa has always been Vegeta's loyal goon. That bootlicking bastard serves as his right hand man, unfortunately, he has the power to back it up too. I, however, am working my way up to a similar position. The prince has been considering giving me a permanent role in the royal force.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUxqODq165
Kakarot: “That sounds great. I hope it all works out for you. I, on the other hand, think Imma settle down with my family for good after all of this is over.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC80qQ4aT3i
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD53e2kaRMN
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz496uxpUXF
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVVrDw9Hu9
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5B7jPfyr7
Raditz: “You're thinking too much about it. Stick around for longer, in time you'll find that all you seek is here with us.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJSBqAiC0c
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0W7qizfcA
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFGe5z6BXp
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbDZ7zQwrT
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3VYi8e7Sj
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaLZElsSZz
Vegeta: “The Colonel has set the coordinates in our pods. The Tuffles also placed some new upgrades to these sweet rides, we'll get there in no time so be ready.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk16tTUOWv8
They all nodded in approval to the prince before entering their pods. The ships took off at blinding speeds. Kakarot observed the vast, outer space in astonishment. The wonders of the countless worlds beyond his own planet never ceased to amaze him. Before long, the pods crashed into planet Tatsu. The squad left their vehicles to confront their next targets, but to their surprise, the landscape was deserted. Not even the slightest sound of a small gush of wind was audible.

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65DxCoAHXQ
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KCyR3PdjG
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd47wbYuXB9
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli2KpgkOjY
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFUlNMDkbi
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQsZv3ppgb
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKMJOJXQTx
Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuyMKSz5wS
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8tDCh2l1C
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVLLnFw3jt
The eyelids of the creatures twitched. Their joints cracked and snapped out of place before restoring themselves back into their original form. They all turned to each other.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXfmDmMU63
“Your foot is on my tail!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxxdl4S6n6
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy6OpDDKTr
The two creatures swung at each other. Their fight created a chain of events, causing more needless fights amongst each other, before long, they were all partaking in a huge brawl.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXPWlGMufc
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReRHbLkC4V
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AIyiu1CwJ
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKz2qNUooc
Vegeta: “This is your chance to feel the true thrill of battle. Join us, we're about to show these fools a real rumble! Let em have it, boys!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFySsc1UiCr
The mighty prince smashed into a group of the battling creatures, blowing them away with the sheer force of the impact. Nappa lifted his fingers, generating an explosion that took out another bunch. A free for all battle royale commenced. Kakarot hesitated, he watched his comrades partake in the fight, feeling a sense of guilt for their actions. Raditz approached his brother.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDnD7mTBea
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PdKixE6vc
Kakarot: “Could Frieza even hope to interrogate these guys? What information could he even get from people as barbaric and dumb as them? We have no reason to kill them anymore.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L9ZZjLY5X
Raditz: “They're lowlives that serve no purpose to us or even themselves. If we don't do it, they'll just kill each other regardless. Stop listening to those stupid ideals the earthlings instilled upon you. Your mind is telling you no, but what does your heart say?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IgVvsemko
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEziitQ8UIu
Raditz: “You're neglecting your own desires for something so meaningless. Go! Be saiyan! Show your pride! Us saiyans will conquer together, let them know that! I'll catch up with you later.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJfXwFPFwb
Raditz rushed to the battlefield in hopes to get in on the fun. Kakarot observed his fellow saiyans, watching how they fought. The prince made light work of the toughest of creatures, mercilessly ending their lives with single and swift blows. A smile overtook his face with every victory. Kakarot clenched his fists, fighting his urge. The unsuspecting saiyan was caught by a sudden blow to his face. The punch sent him to the floor. He snapped into action and returned the attack, knocking his opponent into another Tatsu, stumbling them both over. They caught their balance and set their targets on Kakarot. Without hesitation, they rushed the novice saiyan simultaneously. Kakarot struggled to fend them off, taking blows left and right from both. One of the creatures punched his gut, staggering the saiyan. His arms fell loose. His blood began to pump again, faster than before. A rush of adrenaline took over his body. He used the opportunity to catch and hold the creature's arm down and countered him with a powerful headbutt. He followed it up with a ki blast that blew the creature into pieces. He dashed to the other enemy, striking the bottom of his jaw with the palm of his hand and used the opening punch a hole through his chest. He immediately set his sight on more nearby opponents as the options were seemingly endless. He jumped into a hoard of the violent species and fought every single one at once. He took multiple blows in the process but returned just as much. Guilt, regret, love, hate, anger, all sense of emotion had lost its meaning, all but one, the overwhelming sense of excitement. He took blows from different angles all at once, the damage didn't slow him down as he leapt into the air and shot a ki blast that created an explosion which blew away a chunk of the hoard. One of them jumped out from behind, preparing a devastating attack. His efforts were intercepted by Vegeta who chopped his arm off and kicked him away. Kakarot turned around, realizing the prince had just saved him from potential danger.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcqTE1OIbZ
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM3XOkTn44
Kakarot smiled.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D20Z0r6O9
Kakarot: “Understood!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig2BcSBOdp
The two leapt back into action, taking on the hoard, side by side. They fought together in a flawless sync, their fists complimented each other's style, fighting together as though they were one. The ground trembled once more, more violently than before. The Tatsu species halted their combat and began to flee.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7n4O8a8rf
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKOIgQeBkQ
A similar looking dragon humanoid emerged from underneath. He was noticeably larger than the rest. Flames burned throughout his body. His presence alone disintegrated bystanders. Sympathy was a foreign concept to the beast as it had no trouble smashing through its own people as it approached the saiyans.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9qiHpzU7F
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6704B9hBo7
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tchCZzEkj
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMoH4JKWEK
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidk5i8Lo8o
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7HtWdNDRp
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSTTzCLE4H
Vegeta chuckled.

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RKwWsPeNS
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdPnfAhDQp
Kakarot jumped into action, pouring down a flurry of various strikes. Modora blocked each attack, delivering a powerful backhand in return. He knocked blood out of the saiyan and shattered some of his armor. Modora grabbed the staggered warrior and smashed him to the ground. His grip remained firm as he continued to slam Kakarot against their surroundings a few more times. His scorching hot skin left its marks on the saiyan.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9hYbxbi02
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUXX6CZJdI

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVav7T2RY0

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiWnVMv2Qq
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswNdEik5rx
Modora tossed him into the air, he engulfed his fist in flames and slammed it into Kakarot. The powerful blow shot the saiyan through the sky and straight to the ground. He stood up, visibly injured. His breaths were heavy, but to everyone's surprise, his smile remained as strong as ever. He charged back into the battle with no doubts or regrets. He rushed the dragon beast once more, this time, sneaking in a precise jab to the beast's forehead. He continued the assault with a kick to his neck and ki blast to follow it up. Modora slid back a few feet. He was in disbelief with the sudden shift in power. Kakarot's body screamed in pain, but the mighty warrior could only hear the loud thumping of his heart, fueling the adrenaline that gave him life.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSanKDQfYo
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgSR3LxVwl
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApeWKfjQkt
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68XpXJ0FmF
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7X6JA1H3f
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxFNlfDhcY
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeqTq2aFSg
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIm55URsqw
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ549bQnAqkX
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVXwi3Nx4c
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVX1fnRuWu
Modora levitated towards the sky. He raised his palm into the air, where it engulfed itself within a ball of fire only slightly larger than his hand. Kakarot remained on foot. He raised his hands, aiming them at his enemy. They gradually developed a purple glow, sparks of overflowing energy emitted around the glow. He lowered his hands and clenched his fists before raising them in the same position again, letting out two purple beams of energy that circled around one another before merging into one larger beam.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5VKYtEpGQ
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vr7xA4Byb
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2pkiLHSi9
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QyUJkFrpD
The attacks crashed together, Modora's flames were put out almost instantaneously. The mighty beast suffered heavy damage from the blast and collapsed to the ground, steaming from the heat of the blast. Kakarot's eager demeanor faded. Raditz approached his brother in both shock and concern.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtBKQoA41u
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDBK8h7HsE
He took a peek at his injuries.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRC8AbRPtz
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLKS0rZb7G
Kakarot: “I don't know what happened back there, but it was exhilarating! I never knew this is what it meant to be a saiyan.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUxEEECjPn
Kakarot raised his arms in the air, he savored his victory for winning had never felt so rewarding. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6seaimGSKV

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcae3wxUFY
Kakarot: “Huh?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSAsB3VFrC
Modora ascended from the ground with no warning, landing a clean slash with his claws on Kakarot's chest. Blood gushed out as Kakarot collapsed from the off guard attack.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YerpTRNdT
Raditz: “Why you!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb1hpYlNoZ
In a mere instant, the angry warrior smited the weakened beast with a single blast, leaving nothing behind. He rushed to attend to his injured sibling. Raditz held him up.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl9YyxL0mg
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6V0wHcf7e

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2BwLu8Wut
Raditz: ‘Right!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomFpDrLAm4

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KqTTEDaJm
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpWdLYmIAw
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbCPcdAEA0
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5SYhrTR9V
“This doesn't make sense, he could have easily taken a full power blow from that thing head on. Why did a simple attack like that nearly do him in? Hmm..I'll have to look further into this later.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD4Lz5eVJm
The ship took off, heading straight back to planet Plant. Kakarot was immediately rushed into a room with medics as soon as the ship landed.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqLtzzpXTq
Doctor: “There's not much left to do here other than a few stitches and basic medication. Are you sure his injuries were as severe as you claimed?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjP4qXZUrl
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH6EIdtv2g
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT2CM3NpjM
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYogzpWrxP
Doctor: “I will sir.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYhEgOc7Qw
Raditz left the room. Kakarot rested for about an hour before regaining full consciousness. He stretched out his arms. His joints felt relaxed and more flexible than ever. It was almost as though his injuries had never happened.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6WRUoKIdc
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpu4aRcrZW

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAymFuqXCWR

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMR9mPcuhi

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnLv9d3i4y

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdApDpqhgB
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFRYA6dfzs
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9v4uXl3bc
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisEGJZCmwr
Raditz: “Cool it down a little. This is going to be a long process, we can't just rush into another planet without knowing if there's anything of value.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBrdsD8aLQ
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzS1WTftcy
Raditz: “I've had that idea too, Frieza would never suspect we'd be hiding out in such a low value planet. To most, your world is useless, but to us, it has all the resources we need and more! But why the sudden change of heart?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR90HC3fXgf
Kakarot: “If I'm being honest, it's not really about the saiyan empire for me. When this is all over, I'll head back and leave this behind. But if I bring it back home with me, bring you guys home with me, the thrill won't have to end with the war against Frieza. I don't want to leave you guys, but I don't want to leave my family either.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlSY8oRENm
Raditz: “If all goes well then you might just get what you're asking for. I still don't understand this obsession you have with your wife and boy though.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0wnOvtl4k
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhE63PCkVf
Raditz: “Of course not! Saiyans are born for so much more than that, we only mate to breed more warriors. I couldn't care less what happens after that.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6sVkjZwAb
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRePjXROwpU

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKw43Mg4PN

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObPMwPZ0OG

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jNe4E9suT

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcxsmNgmQX
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhPvwdIc6Q

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X8VPzLG8j
The boy struggled to contain his excitement and followed his father. Kakarot picked him up and swooped into the air, flying to meet up with the other saiyans. They flew past some damaged cities with frightened citizens running around.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLeKHdO9dG
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLhtDV9yMe
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yR9IoygcA
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XIL3XUmKK
Kakarot: “They'll be fine. Humans tend to fear what they don't understand. Our family won't cause any harm, they're here to help this torn planet. You'll understand when you're older.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFfr0VMYso
The boy simply nodded and watched, incapable of shaking the uneasy feeling from the sight. Kakarot descended near a large space ship, surrounded by soldiers. Beet held on tightly to his father as they walked past the intimidating army. They reached the entrance to the ship.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge4qeRuTCQ
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcl8O6Imh3

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkgiWJcwvF
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nwtn1h742
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr77Q1VR3r
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1rSZRM79u
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdzxkZIRIT
Vegeta: “I don't care, do it again.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkK5Be3PA2
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGTVU8VoTM
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R2ScHIG9N
Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh0rEsrIMF
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDg0T4JMlS
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2daXiiX6i8
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGkCb0BxQC
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqoV8KTTX9
Raditz: “I will..”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTiw9Y99Ub
Raditz turned to his comrades.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR0u6mscLu
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvioKnv4RBm
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ON5W0TvV
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiadaHgZ7sQ
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VXbz1HfvF
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk16CVvXKPK
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp7e41GLLe
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPrfqRBQgj
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxVVZp8k68
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Zjg9v9n1
Beet: “Okay!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxD78VgslC
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa34iEyqVUy
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTK3UdjGiH
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSg4AcHicD
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDK8IWmkM4
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroRdYo4Gy0
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdg6QPJJvk
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHCnKjvxHO
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf82HAfcV3R
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9FUBsdYkM
Raditz’s scouter went haywire. A powerful wave of energy burst out of the young hybrid's mouth. Raditz's eyes widened before jumping out of the way at the last second. He slowly looked up, immediately noticing the damaged wall from the blast.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE3RqaRHI9
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ1jrK6kB6
He gradually lifted himself up, still shaky from what he had just witnessed. Beet fell to his knees, his body could no longer take the punishment.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ936Tjniz33
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXrWHJ6uak
Beet: “O-Okay.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZAVdbRv2z
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzX16PhP4u
Kakarot: “What happened?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxomBEhXvR
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OS8mug010
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4safLqUih
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiTIM9KO1v
Kakarot: “Fine.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctJDGofyWq
He stared at his brother for a mere moment before taking off with his son. Raditz made his way to Vegeta's personal room inside the ship. His thoughts ate away at him.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgqvGUWBxm
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb4xqtroLG
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteKAkoc77w
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw49sPzwoI
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEDSLJI2LO
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4u6fkkpPP
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcp33t2Ojr
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1QJ60x7W2
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgxj293RLI
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqvZdKs2uT
Vegeta: “The spot you seek is still open for anybody who proves their worth. With that being said, I have faith in you Raditz. I know better than to trust your word, but your actions speak louder, so swear your loyalty to me and I'll continue to keep you in mind as my ears and eyes.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr277uBkle
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3YdR2QEq9
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROafoijJfW
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8yLDJZH2t
Vegeta: “On the contrary, it means he has both the potential of an earthling and a saiyan combined, and that's not even considering it's the boy of a low class like Kakarot.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4wJBZ30DB
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFQ6Tak7k6
Vegeta: “You're a sharp one, yes I did. If the rest found out they could breed warriors more powerful than myself, my role as the prince would be diminished. I'd be seen as a joke. I'll have to birth a son of my own to take my place before that. For now however, we won't have to worry about that, I've discouraged any desire to spawn new warriors. Frieza is our only priority. The only lingering issue is Kakarot's boy.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN2LoxrNrb
Raditz: “You won't have to worry about him, sir, he can't use that strength at will. It will be a while before he learns to muster up that power on his own.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzffHmg7ul
Vegeta: “I see, time is on our side for now, we can continue to focus on Frieza, until then, can't let the others know about the power hidden within the hybrid, I trust you'll make sure it stays that way.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9UkzFonSS
Raditz: “Understood.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WDbFGsuFs
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqwg8rF49M
Raditz departed from the room.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhts68wMur
“Haaaa”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV78B1QZH16
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbbsR8dWoc
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEB2KySGku
Kakarot: “Right.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOGnYe1cXb
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLbOr0VB8M
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6YmQZ9UMi
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMONO0NBjM
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWspmvRMic4
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7VFWJce89
Time would fly as the saiyans battled their way through different civilizations, recruiting while simultaneously ending many. Their conquests would take a short pause in between.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSTUFJagky
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw5gX0zgEm
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ5GtTXts6
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZACLnOsp0o
Bulma: “The man of the house is gone for months with no warning and he's the one who gets to be upset. You stop by less and less every time, I don't even know why you still bother to come at this point since you're probably going to leave again this same night!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25D3Jg7yYy
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K7g5mhCse
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnhEYrGR2D
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToRjxsDPbj
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQi4P89uQl
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShG9vblcqZ
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd9YlVFdRb
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28Mpy1t27Y
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCRkoHTfxF
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMREBYiUy0
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2xpDEAHmP
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCfmFwmmaA
Beet smiled and hugged his father. The sun couldn't have set sooner as Kakarot stood near the door, preparing to leave. Beet slept peacefully, unaware of his father's absence in the room.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHDCJN17fd
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o9aRxTof8
Kakarot turned around.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrCI4ASpvQ
Bulma: “What happened to you? You're not the man I grew up with. Kakarot is a loving man that fought for peace. He was a man that protected and provided for his family, a loving husband and father. Whoever this us right now, I don't know you.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX2mCgTQv5
Kakarot: “I was everything you needed me to be because you gave me what no one else did, I never once stopped to consider who I wanted to be.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVrFsg0tsU
Bulma: “I only wanted to make you happy and to make you feel safe like you did to me on the day we met! You saved me from the red ribbon army after they tried to kidnap me for my inventions, you remember, right?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGbotQosuB
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0zkXmdQcp
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp6HTgzqeo
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkcoINXKsV
Bulma: “You know what's the worst part of this all? Everytime you leave, there's this look on your face, this-this thrill! It's been making me start to think that you actually like what you do out there.. But my greatest fear, is that maybe, you always have.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqvggqT9GZ
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlQLIwUvPZ
He turned right back around and exited the place he once called his home, flying away into the distance. Bulma took a seat on the nearest chair and broke down into tears.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sffu5qVHT
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVRkdc8k16
Vegeta: “Alright boys! The time has finally arrived! We've gathered enough troops and have raised our own battle power significantly throughout the process. I can comfortably say we have a shot at destroying Frieza once and for all! Colonel!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlweuKhTkJ
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx1VhMvk1x
Vegeta: “Prepare the troops and run the plans by them again. Oh, and don't try any sort of rebellion against us this late into the party. I guarantee you we'll be the least of your problems if Frieza gets a hold of you.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OCYhuzrRH
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV6wtcc5M1
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnQjEVkoX4
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHsAxzaUTi
Raditz: “Getting too excited for this one might cost you. Don't take Frieza so lightly. Remember the plan little brother, we'll see each other on the other side once it's all over!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XE6qcoZ9D
Kakarot: “Right!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkDs3DAIqX
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBhjCgzdQU
Kakarot: “Yes?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7bO1a0kTm
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0ubtr1Prk
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppnjubUQf5
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k9Oqy3iCf
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCQEpQBe7u
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3MqDBtBGr
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u5esbK9kP
Vegeta: “Raditz, head to your separate pod and take your leave at once, we'll group up in the ship along with the others once the Colonel deems them ready.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43iCS1gBVB
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahgfotmb7U
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sHJIEZ2oI
Raditz turned to his brother.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtDOh45MlQ
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvsbbuR5ip
Raditz: “Right..”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC9qOfIHPp
Raditz took off with his pod.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmSmkmIJ9Q
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu8wiBizoc
“Let me take a look.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm56CxqK7h
Beep! Beep! Beep!
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GPQjfUxt9
“Oh, it's just one of those putrid saiyans. No need to worry, I'll go greet him myself. I just hope his hideous looks don't rub off on my beauty.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP5xgFQwK4
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIgC7RZjVk
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaX4D2OFRQ
He bowed in respect.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh6OThDNOI
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu01uowxm0
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq0v8w5iMT
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXp6rMuhcS
Raditz: “I understand, however, I must clarify that these are urgent matters for we've gathered a lot of profitable planets and slaves for him. We have tons of eager customers awaiting his approval. Please, inform the lord as soon as possible! You wouldn't want to make him upset by letting such a big opportunity slip by him.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT8YM75ueV
Zarbon: “Hmph. I'll inform him at once. My only conditions are that you stay by my side at all times, I cannot risk you pulling anything sneaky, I know better than to trust YOUR kind.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qrkUdwYuK
Raditz: “As you wish.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT7Fgc8DLq
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgxIbIOIP8
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPiSB8mapx
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRmmVqVJ9G
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46bpPmJ2hn
Vegeta: “Okay, I'll run it all back at once so we're on the same page. Raditz will lure Frieza back to his base with his proposition.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz6YoXLEeu
Zarbon: “Take a seat over there. There's guards outside so don't even think of anything! I'll step out to let lord Frieza know about your request.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSfsMtB2hx
Zarbon took his leave.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPvvOIMUKM
Vegeta: “Once he's got sight of Frieza's ship entering the atmosphere, he'll launch an artificial moon into the sky. That will be our sign to make our move. With this distance, the scouters can't track us but we can't track them either, so Raditz needs to be the one to alert us.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUmcCokhCi
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9svpinjW6
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmi7bOk2rd
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWImzAP0YW
Raditz chuckled.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dh1lqhIvS
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2EeOPryTZ
Vegeta: “We'll use the artificial moon to transform into great apes and hit Frieza with everything we've got! A surprise attack to finish him for good! Frieza never leaves without at least one of his right hand men, if we take him out, we get one of them too. Less opposition for us.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPhVuQX38m
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf6aiQ66oL
Beep! Beep! Beep!
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwnh82b0fI
Raditz: “He's here…”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMMU9TWrBg
Vegeta: “Once we've wiped that ugly tyrant from this world, we'll send in the troops to help us destroy what's left. Frieza has too many loyal goons that would stand by him even after his demise. No one gets out of here alive!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0TNHRWO4H
Raditz took his stand and shot his artificial moon into the sky, smashing through the roof in the process. The commotion alerted everyone within the site.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbdDxAMo0Y
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjlMWr1Bve
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A24RUMPBD
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUda6F33oG
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgzxr70TDS
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HAL8YPzAt
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPjgrGalUb
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lNszpCEIQ
The mighty trio shot forth their attack in union, obliterating Frieza's incoming ship, causing the remains to crash into the ground. They landed their ship and reverted to their base forms.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMIbOLXRqm
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp42IKxLAb
Vegeta signaled for the others to follow his lead while the soldiers they had recruited went on to finish Frieza's army of henchmen. They approached Frieza's fallen ship. Vegeta lifted the remains.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuaRERsjYs
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78oLBpXC7m
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasJMgy31xJ
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUINVHZMKs
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUAR4bGWq4
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrNDd2zcsd
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTY9HaD5ii
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQWBR9eu2s
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoQDUjOYeh
Raditz: “Damn it!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRFGg5AWSi
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNF0BL243T
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT1HSQbFrk
Raditz shot a small blast at the ground, creating a wall of blinding smoke. He lunged himself forward at Dodoria, smashing him through the building.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xsSQiEucG
Frieza: “I can't say I'm not impressed, I never expected a simian like you to be able to plan such a calculated rebellion. It's a shame things have once again gone south for you saiyans.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC1o1QWMtt
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qxjoaTjxp
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa0zlVvBP1
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWpW3lC0ry
Dodoria shot a blast of energy from his mouth. Raditz caught the beam and redirected it back to the sender. Dodoria was blasted away and crashed to the ground. Zarbon approached from behind, going for a surprise kick at Raditz. The saiyan warrior caught on just before the kick connected and blocked the attack. Zarbon was left wide open which Raditz took full advantage of.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3A362KKDK
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJumar6Iar
A ball of purple energy burst from Raditz's hand, crashing into Zarbon. The impact sent him flying away. He recovered as quickly as he could and reunited with Dodoria.

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx14Gl8Bi9V
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pC780YZe0
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41OCaQ9Tq4
Zarbon: “Perhaps Lord Frieza made the right move in eliminating their race, their ability to grow should not be overlooked. We have no choice! We have to fight together!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvymLJkLee
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaWzbnP564
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPrY2Pbf8O
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3IlUS1I1f
The pair went forward with their assault. Raining down a barrage of various blows at Raditz. The saiyan warrior fended off every blow, but the overwhelming flurry left no opening for retaliation. He jumped out of their reach but they immediately tracked him with a united ki blast. He blocked the blast, taking no damage from it. He took a surprise kick from behind his head by Zarbon and suffered an immediate follow up punch by Dodoria.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaszvahmk4O
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQibobTqDY
Dodoria: “Why you!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbnKKx0uXw
Dodoria charged forward with Zarbon following only a few feet behind. Raditz broke a chunk from the hill and crushed it into dust with his hand. He smirked and threw the left over rubble from the rock into their eyes. The impact shattered their scouters and blinded them temporarily.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkD7OQlEj4
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7mQZ0Tfc6
The saiyan warrior struck Dodoria with a knee to his head. He followed up his kick with a blast that completely blew off his head, killing Jim immediately. Zarbon desperately rubbed his eyes, removing the irritation.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF3RmkpGyc
Zarbon: “Damn it! It's really come to this hasn't it? Take a good look saiyan, this is the last thing you'll ever see!”

Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHaveacQgR
Vegeta charged his energy, the entire planet shook in fear of his power. The ground trembled and mountains split. Without further hesitation, Vegeta darted to Frieza, rushing him with various attacks. The tyrant struggled to fend off the attacks, coming to the realization that the prince's gloating was more than just talk.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1Gh28lBSr
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6jMfvQVAM
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EC6S7bRRC
Frieza: “I don't need any more of your little demonstration. I'm aware now that if I commit to this fight I could come out on top perhaps, but the other monkeys would likely intervene and ruin it for me. There's no purpose in entertaining this any longer.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebljrvfvrt
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ044pouYwh4

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfvazzgfas
Zarbon crashed his arm into Raditz. He pounded the struggling warrior, knocking blood out of him with each blow. Raditz retaliated with a kick to his face. He leaped into the air and scattered a barrage of ki blasts at his monstrous opponent. Zarbon quickly recovered from the attacks and charged forward, headbutting Raditz in his face. Raditz returned the attack with a headbutt of his own. Their fighting took a short pause.

Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSajprWTX77

Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocrCDZdBEF
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n2m7iymOs
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.

The tyrant’s body went through a terrifying metamorphosis. His limbs enlarged at different rates and proportions. His power level burst through the roof, the saiyans began to lose their composure as fear took over their consciousness. Frieza ended his transformation, revealing his true strength.

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX1mSa9IAo

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUFa4vmtPV
His body grew as he morphed into the beast known as the Oozaru. Zarbon watched in fear as his opponent grew to a massive size. Raditz stomped on him, killing him immediately. He spotted his allies, noticing their struggle.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEIwkOkdlV
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblCoFD1kkm
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovLH3JI532

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxWiY2By9L
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXbwrzfKU1

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZs64KyAac
Kakarot: “Not again!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDkVPmYlpU
Frieza lifted his hand, creating an explosion around them. The force knocked them all away, providing enough distance for him to safely transform. He went through another change, taking on his true form. All of his prior injuries healed.

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ588jNTMxGY
Faster than any of them could track, Frieza shot a swift and small beam from his finger. Kakarot watched helplessly as the beam headed straight to Vegeta.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPSqrb0CmO
Kakarot: “Look out!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGFZUv6EjO
He reached his arm out, desperately trying to get a hold of the prince and move him away. His efforts were pointless as the beam approached faster than he could close the distance. The laser hit, Nappa collapsed to the ground.

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3xtdx8gZk
Kakarot commenced the battle by charging headfirst at the cynical tyrant. He lunged forward with a ferocious punch. Frieza dodged the attack with minimal effort. Raditz and Vegeta soon followed along, rushing Frieza with a flurry of attacks of their own. Frieza fended off the attacks with ease, demonstrating his sheer dominance. Kakarot continued his assault. The three attacked together in union. Explosions and bloodshed filled their surroundings as the soldiers from both sides continued their brutal war. Frieza raised his hand, he blew the opposing saiyans away with a wave of force. They retaliated with a ki blast shot in union. Frieza leaped into the air, evading all three at once. Kakarot rushed at him, swinging multiple fierce blows. Frieza dodged them all, returning a kick to his ribs. He spit out blood. The blow left him stunned from the pain. Frieza elbowed his cheek, sending him crashing to the ground. Kakarot shut his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth as he groaned in pain. He felt his broken body struggle to stand, and yet, against all odds, he stood. Vegeta dove straight in with a kick. Frieza caught his leg with his tail. He smirked as he watched the powerless saiyan attempt to free himself from his grasp.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r2c3SSZDx
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq3mZTUFHH
Vegeta shot a ki blast to the tyrant's face. Frieza flicked the blast away with minimal effort. He delivered a heavy punch to Vegeta's liver. He spit blood and gasped for air. Frieza tossed him into a building and followed it up with an explosion set off by his eyes.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFMPkh9O8t
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3Mp52BDeF

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoNpIRpwqs
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvIeNStZph

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxLmDJYLrQ
Frieza: “You again!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEok6YGoVrJ
Kakarot's face dripped in blood, his gaze was tense and focused on Frieza and nothing else. His fury overtook his consciousness, there was no room in his mind for words, only action. He viciously swung at Frieza, his blows ripped through the air. Frieza blocked a punch.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZQ51zKQRi
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGAvYsc5o4
He yanked his arm and kicked the back of his head, following the attack with a whip from his tail. Kakarot crashed into a nearby building. He burst out from the rubble, charging at Frieza yet again.

Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6mquP3lCG

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCAxpOMHra
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiftE2lMFS
He lifted his arms, large chunks of rubble went flying towards the saiyan. He smashed through them with his bare fists. Frieza used the distraction to land a mean headbutt to his face. He kneed his gut and punched his jaw. Kakarot was powerless against the tyrant’s onslaught. He took every blow head on. Frieza kicked him into a nearby hill, smashing it into pieces. He flew after the airborne saiyan, juggling him through the air with multiple blows. He delivered another punch to his face, knocking more blood out. Kakarot gradually turned his head back, pushing through Frieza's fist. He grabbed his arm and twisted it. Frieza yelped before getting punched in the mouth. Kakarot grabbed him from his face and zoomed to the nearest building, slamming Frieza's head into it. Frieza kicked him away, creating some distance.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aT6iSvOpg
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rG3EdARHu
Kakarot's pupils were bright gold, his power shot up as his hair grew. His might shook every nearest planet. Raditz looked up from where he laid.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0MWShajnK
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps2rLMQ7s6
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKAwXmGIOs
Kakarot breached the distance between him and Frieza, landing and uppercut to his jaw. He followed it with a hook to his cheek and a knee to his chin. Frieza blasted him away. He sent forth and endless barrage of blasts, each exploded upon colliding. Kakarot began to force his way through the blasts. Fighting through the pain. He reached Frieza who immediately backed away upon seeing him appear through the attacks.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKeIrx1Qto
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTLNHJcTl1
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrGqZkFlTC
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmMLYs4dGK
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZsCKZdc8I
Vegeta: “N-No. The super saiyan legend, he's supposed to be a golden warrior. This is different. It's hard to believe, but the one who stands before us is no longer Kakarot. Somehow he's managed to channel the power of the Oozaru without going through the transformation. Kakarot's been overtaken by his own strength, right now, there is no friend or foe, only combat.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IiqcebJ85
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQbEBjgaur
Vegeta: “I'm not entirely sure, but I've seen it before, a saiyan gets overtaken by their own power and leaves us with no choice but to be put down. I… I don't think we can stop Kakarot's rampage.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6kFEV55i4
The two clashed back and forth. Trading blows. With each blow Kakarot grew more powerful and terrifying. His body shut out the pain of his injuries, focusing all of its energy and adrenaline on the fight. He rushed Frieza with a punch to his gut, slamming him into a mountain, smashing it upon crashing. Frieza froze him in place in a sphere of energy and kicked it away like a ball. He repeatedly kicked it around before spiking it to the ground. Kakarot rose from the ground. His armor was shattered and his body was battered. He put his arms out and shouted. His power spiked as the planet trembled. He clenched his fists and opened his mouth. A ball of energy formed in his mouth. Frieza raised his finger.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ajc9b6hWo
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKYmLbvG9Y
A massive sphere of energy released from Frieza's finger. He tossed it downwards towards Kakarot. Kakarot fired a blast from his mouth. The attacks clashed, each pushed back against the other. The force of their struggle shook planets and stars. Frieza's supernova was claiming the edge, gradually forcing its way to its target. Raditz leaped into action, launching a special attack of his own to push back against the world ending wrecking ball. Vegeta soon followed.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLOKKM2YVX
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2TJYr3zS3
The prince unleashed his ultimate attack to support his allies. The three gave their all against the tyrant’s most fearsome attack yet. The planet crumbled, cracks formed on the ground. Soldiers were crushed by rubble or consumed by the planet's scars. Frieza's body bulked up.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxZrOjr7Yk
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpE05wMGzb
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwfnh1i0BL

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KL6BB8bRY
The trio used the distraction to find an opening in Frieza's attack, piercing through it and hitting the tyrant head on with their combined power. The destructive force of their beam sent Frieza crashing down.

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rcI9DSEBd
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLwLGtuoex

Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLuitLAzVi
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkLY7ZeZV4

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHlEeYf8SD
Frieza used the last of his strength to shoot one last attack at Kakarot while his back was turned. Kakarot felt a new sensation, a 6th sense that allowed him to feel the attack heading towards him. He turned around and punched the attack away. He approached Frieza at blinding speeds. He stood in front of him for a moment, looking down at him.

Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHbFF6GWH2
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdYMRUX2cl
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbKlyk7JWJ
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8p6eTCwRZ
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9SDDvuS6P
Kakarot: “It's done…”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftJpdMTyFx
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrfzCyr3b5
Vegeta ascended into the air.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhy3W9l8hN
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzmsWpFF6A
Their military began to retreat back to the ship. Frieza's men fell to their knees, some begged for their lives, others preferred to perish than betray their lord. Everyone regrouped in the ship. The ship took off into space, leaving not too far away from the atmosphere of the planet.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUhNiKWeUh
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE271zfd1cW
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYCHyCsgFF
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D7kOCcYIy
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgnchsDv67
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5yaQFD7RR
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXJIIcmEZT
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn139PYuRx
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3p682Ui23
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFhPW3g3eT
The Colonel smirked after securing his success and retreated to another room. Vegeta on the other hand, couldn't find it in himself to crack as much as a smile. Kakarot took a seat.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2bWq9uwmU
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvD2On79fZ
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTkGskganB
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7QKwb8yDk
Vegeta glared at Kakarot. His gaze was locked in on him for the entire ride back home. The ship landed on earth. After all the action, everyone was fatigued and mentally drained. They took the rest of the day off to rest. The next day couldn't have come any sooner. Raditz reported to the “Battle Station,” as per Vegeta's request earlier.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiicTrU7Cyh
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjGSGEZ0za
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYFghYbxz9
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9H1eIM9tI
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRtTRUiDL4
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7N9uQBogT
Vegeta: “With Nappa gone, his position has been left open. I'm providing you an opportunity to seal the deal for good and sit by me as a conqueror.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLHJv44Sr3
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgekO2kL9el
Vegeta: “I can read you like a book, Raditz, you're a notorious schemer. With Kakarot rising in the hierarchy, you've gained the perfect opportunity to seize the throne from me by his side and let your bloodline rule for centuries to come. But I'm telling you know, it's a plan doomed to fail.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUdbxTvX6W
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulYNsfeaQz
Vegeta: “Even now you play your cards to end up on the winning side. Kakarot isn't a leader like me, he couldn't even bare the responsibility of ruling his own planet after having conquered it. On top of his uncontrollable power, he's unstable and ultimately unfit to rule. Your empire would fall apart and eventually all that power would mean nothing. If you want to win, you stick with me.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBkZYa987L
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqSdk54HA4
Vegeta: “I know your real problem, Raditz. This isn't about you choosing which side benefits you most, you've simply grown soft. His earthling nature has rubbed off on you, but both you and I know that this mentality is his greatest flaw. One that will cost him dearly one day, one that will cost YOU everything. You're a saiyan warrior, you know what the right choice here is.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeIBGCjYtP
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbki2WNbOog
Vegeta: “He has a soft spot for you, the same way you talked that fool into joining us is the same way you’ll convince him to leave for good. I can't afford having him show me up, it would permanently bruise my reputation. I need you to get rid of him one way or another. This is your final task to secure your spot next to me.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcwZHncQAG
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVqeREDwek
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzYmiWD5NR
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pXADh4Le6
Kakarot: “I've avenged our people, I should feel great and yet I feel more conflicted than ever. Everything was great and now I'm back to square one.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjA5MTUnGk
He looked at his fist in shame.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulPuoIItfr
Kakarot: “That moment, it felt so strange. Losing myself in battle is a common occurrence, but in that moment, I feared nothing, not for my life or even the life of my comrades. I almost killed my own brother. I'm lying to myself, the truth…. The truth is I loved it… but it scared me.. Bulma… Beet, they're probably still waiting for me. I haven't seen them for a while.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOgZMSsXAC
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgM7EguqSW
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNav2q7Exq
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a6iZdS7Ss
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mqjuJhp5m
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCzoRTs7VI
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQupSFnT1ab
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yzzaeAIsf
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWiyLSY0AV
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMchXWdMSb
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6IHG4REcO
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilXI8pTs4e
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSYzVwYjv1
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGctYYSCeye
Raditz: “One of Frieza's goons, Frieza had many connections… I guess they didn't waste time in tracking us. They damaged my scouter too, I couldn't get a hold of you sooner..”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGsfZmtr4G
Kakarot rushed inside, disregarding his brother. He tossed aside the rubble that he once called his home. After some digging, he found Bulma and Beet, laying still on the ground, stained from their own blood.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qB85tVRom
Kakarot: “No…”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV0PW45tto
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TcpfGirgE
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCvKlPHskF
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdM7kCtiKw
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgRe8CrJTH
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXbHEuswdo
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmMjG8fs9e
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml93CjNACV
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1dY5NbZLg
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXW41wlQav
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyKtbKCXGv
Kakarot sensed an incoming attack but was too late to react. Raditz shot a blast through Kakarot's back from behind, piercing through his liver. Blood dripped from Kakarot's wound and mouth. He laid on the ground, struggling to move or speak.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8YmYo9RLc
Raditz: “I really wish it didn't have to come to this, brother, but the prince is right, being around you made me soft, I had to let go of you if I truly wanted to succeed.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfAb4tcFzs
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfa6fyIQZt
Raditz: “Back then when we destroyed the Tatsus, I learned something. Our power levels drop in moments of vulnerability, even the weakest of warriors can fatally wound the mightiest in such a scenario. To think your biggest weakness would be your heart in the end haha! Let my words sink in while you draw your last breaths.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmQaedVpBz
Raditz flew away, leaving his brother to die. Kakarot helplessly looked at his deceased family, unable to speak or move properly. The rain left him colder than his body was already getting. He groaned in pain for a while before his groans gradually died out and his eyes fell shut.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7szsUXWb9
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4mLuP9IA5
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o7yYUqVKm
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO8Gu6UkLg
Vegeta: “That's what I like to hear! I'm a man of my word, from here on out, you're my right hand man.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5bsj3Np0C
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG8GzONOSP
Raditz bowed down in respect.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39HP3eTBoP
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBZHQ1cUcU
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn32QxdRz2B
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rrbK9EaNy
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDks2QH1OkO
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5hUXnyIR9
Vegeta: “Well, looks like we have a mess to clean up. In his condition, he won't last very long. Assist me, Raditz, let's make sure he stays down this time!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFJV6hotiw
Raditz: “Right!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSs19kSRXE
Kakarot: “I-I don't understand! What happened t-to the saiyan pride! We were friends working towards the same goal! What about N-Nappa!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPya08Ikot
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQVloPMGyG
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIC3cVzNyr
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFYl5voZ2t
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOYaxUir4W
Tears ran down his face.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2LJiI7YZs
Kakarot: “I gave up everything to be a part of you all! B-But you're just like everyone else.. power, control, that's all that really matters to you huh? Saiyan pride is nothing but a load of bullshit! It was never about Frieza or the saiyans was it?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG59jnAqatf
Vegeta: “Of course not! The strong survive and the weak die. Those not willing to do anything to remain at the top and nothing less, are mere weaklings simply waiting to die!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJUQXcbqa8
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTCfxh0fmp
He shot a blast at his fellow saiyans. They evaded his attack and rushed to attack him. Vegeta and Raditz attacked from left and right, overwhelming Kakarot with various combinations. He fended off the attacks but had no room to counter. Raditz kicked his injured liver, staggering Kakarot. Vegeta used the opening to land a straight right to his face. The saiyans kicked him away in union. Kakarot crashed through a wall from the building. They immediately continued their assault, following him outside, raining ki blasts on him like the rain that poured from the clouds. Kakarot struggled to free himself from the pressure, taking the blasts head on. He got a sudden burst of power and used it to hit Vegeta with an energy blast that knocked him away.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UVSLMdVVr
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvwlylCZGY
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpLbgx5Hcu
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgEz4moFvs
Raditz smirked.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2LTeyHhFq
Raditz: “I w-wont lie to you.. I really did care about yo-u.. Br-other. B-But that love made me weak. The w-weak don't survive.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V6xoEesIm
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNu2dsbogV
Vegeta came in with a kick that knocked Kakarot off of Raditz. Kakarot got on his knees and rested his hands on the floor. Tears ran down his face. He laughed hysterically while simultaneously sobbing in a disturbing fashion.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGy4SRKauh
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRP0CZAGjS
He pounded the ground.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhXCDizvQG
Kakarot: “I should thank you, brother, you've opened my eyes! Both of you have! I spent too much time caring about meaningless, worthless things. I'm Kakarot, the greatest warrior that ever was and ever will be! I was only born for one thing and one thing only!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXe0h5Pexr
His hair grew in length and his pupils turned golden. His eyes developed a red, deep outline. He stood up, his demeanor was more relaxed from before and he had no trouble standing.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmcyX8tNe2
Kakarot: “To fight!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2qlRzQdWt
He dashed at them, striking them both at the same time. He grabbed Vegeta from his face and slammed him into the ground. He then turned around and elbowed Raditz in his eye, followed by a knee to his nose. Raditz held his nose in pain as it leaked blood. Kakarot punched a hole through Raditz's gut. He spit blood, holding onto his brother's arm.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznYV9kvTEi
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ALD7H8HFC
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXtasYt3ex
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDA2rhP5yf
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Ome7dklq
The prince launched a fierce attack. Kakarot deflected it with his bare hands. He rushed to Vegeta, ramming into him with a headbutt. He kicked him away and shot a blast to follow up. Vegeta came crashing down, struggling to stand. Kakarot dropped his knee into his spine.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgygrSAck5
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB5XJY2kZy
Kakarot grabbed him from his hair and slammed his face on the ground repeatedly. The pain in his wounds diminished as his strength grew. He got off the prince and turned him around to face him.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfR6R0meNj
Vegeta: “You don't… want to do this, Kakarot.. I didn't want to tell you… but we've discovered these magical orbs known as the dragon balls… I have one in my possession.. The plan was to use them to make me immortal, but we can restore your family instead, you won't be able to do this without me!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxJJo76iXw
Kakarot: “You still think this is about my family? Or even your betrayal? I've spent my entire life, devoting myself to other people. I spent my childhood wanting to be accepted and a portion of my early adulthood fighting a war to live a peaceful life with a woman. I dedicated the rest to a family and eventually to you guys. I thought this was all for me, but it was always for everyone but ME. But now, this isn't about the saiyans, this isn't about my family, or even about your betrayal, this is about me! There's nothing left to distract me from my real destiny and I've never felt more satisfied! So go to hell, Vegeta.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dvSZnmRh5
Vegeta: “Wait!”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJZ85RcwIP
Kakarot finished Vegeta with a blast, leaving his corpse to rot. He looked up at the sky, showering in the rain. He smiled brighter than he ever had. The universe's greatest warrior had been born.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvoKTRP0yf
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvRYt6yohD
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T5npPgEq1
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW4SuKM0Sr
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5LeiZ1dHQ
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”

Shenron: “As you wish."
