Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDo28ND4jC
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxFjer8t38
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2hhAbjWJW
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LAuY8o3IT
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMd3Hc6kL7
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELWa2uto7Y
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrpLbQVv73
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNQhzAzr0Q
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJhd1dQHTi
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAAdsd5Zn3
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH7woaRUN7
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8se9DB7gH2
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6CrNVGXco
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL34aYTm1Gv
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dusHIvUYk
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu20VP7nmJd
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPESmcO24yl
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFDWzhv9Ei
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKEfI5hOrH
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKN8fZhZjW
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZZQKsIxpe
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvFOG0wa6b
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHIaOyMK0k
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV0UFE44e9
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yRdGbWMEL
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q1vXdN9he
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjY7Crzqln
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDAOsGNqrj
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc8IHVjM73
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNcU5cJBJL
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQkXRiHsZo
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK2P5hsBZZ
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPIwBF4DRI
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmj7hK5CN3
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMbGM4Jca6
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW5Gl7kTLA
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3ugqqwBpr
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeCIu11c73
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2Bj7E1lnq
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XuRwQIn31
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB4uy1kOX9
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzhaXi3jZv
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWDSlG38Ie
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYLgpqOHwZ
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx0B8f8NRJ
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN9auZUY0j
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3Qo848mOf
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq7bjvITu9
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFeypNilWN
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYag6xQ2Vr
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORPx9Py0gx
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq2CemvnPY
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIARCQJIrZ
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gDfNte6DU
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIYZYEGtJ8
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSMMVkDvY5
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EcVkViVkZ
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzf23IyGFO
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnokkSyZaef
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpnudihuvE
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5on1EaqQ06
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF1ufKFQP0
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjpms8E7cv
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OFNLxY6SJ
Beet: “Haaa!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwOa7RLEdH
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhKLGCAXTS
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHY2gtRxgm
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xFHlSgLjD
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U7nJwlQ14
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKAmAJx1Yn
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeeHHldYqB
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-”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ688CsYkYqs
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88ixV1hvJ8
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbLzsSw8Am
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7mi8TgfyZ
Kakarot: “Enough”!
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY54kvoNKb
Beet: “Huh?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OHioXEfr5
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSRmCBmbSw
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVjzX33j3Q
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuKYb72F3l
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0QJIVz8V1
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKcX1irTdL
Beet: “Right!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLeU0QziTc
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaam7mUTZz
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IT8caYIpc
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglDtkuYbRk
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYgKM1W4Lb
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitOvLug6dQ
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2eI6XTPjU
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG8HcSaaSH
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQzI6TM7dv
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC56pnGhHu
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBCSVCxoG1
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzrbJ1rcu8
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0ZYvuisMx
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWSNIHU3Uf
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaj5ESsYGB

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.

Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq7R9ijhoY
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUJombDe81
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKHjSQeQpr

“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzspoaXrFRQ

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1s1PvfSIw
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d1qmYN7GH
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNXJzPqSDO
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvGOl6zj0F
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.

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqoBPfcm91
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRIRbOQbmL

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsPpmqyW3E
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwwekl0sek
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeREcXjauO
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwnTdcpCC4
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9lzlFUTDS
Bulma chuckled.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEskjHmMQW
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYEO9koeMv
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeizXN35ag

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwYmg5apaJ
Beet: “Momm!!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJdAwsMGhm
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YVNcS9P8g
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRuP2c7h84
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9zfpGR07o
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MyNPG16SZ
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHyZph0kLu
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrtTdWL0Hh
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcGFKmKVX8
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61yqsmJGwG
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKd9Ct20US
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRZKTcWE12
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHYMSA4lQx
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSkUSgjfXz
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvq4pp9KOa
Kakarot: “Enough!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqBTIEkjnV
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZVcHS5yyS
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxfiLaLoqI
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG9pFNzyaZ
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuipTS0ZhAb
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6MmLX4NEL
Beet: “Sir!!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eQYIT9dqL
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFfW2388mM
Bulma: “Beet!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfLmcmaxZu
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ4tUYrfWi
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NkRX5ARID
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDmY1j01Ax
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn05TOKgin

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIUYAPybGS
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgouOsvTi4
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYBC3otcT6
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUZQD4Fprr
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxR9COV1jn
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.”

Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmCPIsVhdx
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg1G28eUJH
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8VEghqcer
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH48eMKqKu
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhxk2jpzLA
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5s3F54Dnp
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ4mwiweod
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqTxErBYJg
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeeQpDEd73
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpFozkJ1zc
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY0sHwudOI
Raditz: “You have my word.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HfttOCnAS
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs95EUGO4aw
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPEyKWpE02
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSzP9bZWWy
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB7t6MyYW6
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL0NL8Lr1r
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2l9k1hoWw
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB55k4gSDFi
Raditz chuckled.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWNbZIPt3W
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyFRT6FvbD
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOdhnVWHuR
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjqF0CG2mz
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiyK0pND1L
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiA2i1itB9
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla6myFfaP5
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInRyQ7egEv
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ya2F79kDW
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbq88bkQNX
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapwelOaaS7
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriF5Yptl0u
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqODI46i6gB
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJN7uWWGDO
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18w9StIBLf
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AHkg9RAKU
Raditz took a deep breath.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LvsVb5G9Z
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8X1mq1CJo
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zmOycZ22P
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbAdhaznLy
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE9oMKZTfo
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM4ch0okCF
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxwYF0CiiA
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FKIbZAHJR
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVOSx5nccU
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWnqETQr1G
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU0uiPRD56
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UNo14Zeye
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywBif7NS0y
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1hUsgHPre
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9Dd6bJK3B
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjXslYLEi5
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1cMQubGHF
Kakarot: “The prince?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8sur3gXCV
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIIweAUQVV
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kkpYNa3ZX
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKLkBDgDpw
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n5bgVpblS
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLTPL70ZMr
Kakarot: “….”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8i5a9tLR6
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY54fUciE6
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i34M8TdFB
Bulma hesitated to reply.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6Jz0fym1k
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMY3ujlslL
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD79A2mjya
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAVMLQrTIL
Beet: “Sir!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVkewoiguW
He came face to face with his father.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0sDkDF1Lu
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6g06LEVJo
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnFFr7mlkT
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1Wt4RGN2n
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagYqXR7UWw
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIrAqr9MBn
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVaHuoKzKg
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmG8Phprun
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xfxdHuOng
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpvOsJR5HD
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHRxhY46w6
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxA8sixvv5
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgegvaQ1XlV
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ9uGNPflp
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.’
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLyGAwWctE
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIUVBwvvBL
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWQ5mf3EG0
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FR45k9koZ
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0129t0l5dh
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwIXkmSlmA
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QB6bQmqb6
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW0gWnyE3X
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4ThMe8mtI
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLitPCBkvs
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpcgM2cyDQ
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVGbFyaaYN
The prince hesitated.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mGhxhMoy4
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHRr1xjmn9
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yyAiyMeEs
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4g1ABvZVj
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFvPVoIfpU
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLUeYMQQOX
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz2HcoW1IG
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR7RMTjsi3
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp4SlaCJQn
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiAzwCo8Fq
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmsxSCMBE7
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gb7mdMvAZ
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZOEYC0L1p
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdERg0Z5Os1
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfm2nc4L4f
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkS4GTVIl5
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQtTIjWZxK
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpneh9l9FY
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7SXO1FW9y
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5SaGPOkiF
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdSKfwoYk3
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOFJHGAYUB
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgbTsnR2y3
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvuzSWvMNO
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY27rNfQPaF
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0VswAViBj
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYthRIazhEZ
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKqoEdtqo1
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhJ1v2vdED
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C7Yz53KiH
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdhVoX3riG
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRvVNXu9C2
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kZaLeuXoa
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ52p5lpz16
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9sKGziarp
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygUwYfXmvJ
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I6teq0T5R
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xVWvqczFQ
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ683EqH7iHO
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX0BmgjviD
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GbXrnAcl8
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOrSTmkcaK
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFvINL4csx
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQGeu5fGRG
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakfb2EOKH3
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW88Vi6VWlZ
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnQyd7HJRa
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaXvndVYl0
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QOIiO6yqN
Kakarot: “What was that?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdp4Hxz2cE
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4hKFITn36
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq0wTQZH4x
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs1SICYG5l
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cKBBcv6yj
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkRlhKSiNI
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vr4becJcn
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuyTU0CxvB
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgRL3HofTe
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtea0r4QuRl
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDlyTqLWgu
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ11LQ7lj6
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrBwPwPCHc
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpWxsRrKKz
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0C6QPiu9h
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDwDKAotKZ
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn3qT2CpKf
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6yJR1YL63
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57l1KZEjuE
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv07P4n95dX
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNhKXjDDmo
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHGnIryUOg
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pRDB8YvYV
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ0rvzazap
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7YzJgg8fN
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrtALDgl0X
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaWwQmN9nG
“Your foot is on my tail!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1MKun7TOf
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZm2bqOHy5
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwlKwdDzqM
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jlVeDTjaT
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jwtjA9Rt3
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMSPiL0R9c
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hNmSblBCh
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBftKm6nvbb
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaMhSEvRQo
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeN5chhNce
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ505N9c7sIf
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5G9JLFVKQ
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBZQSqNyBL
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKskVXRbyB
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzo7RTZolN
Kakarot smiled.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8pGrPewGR
Kakarot: “Understood!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFMlzqah9I
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpLnwj4UD0
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMvoclqmLS
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLSUhxH1xy
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac5ICWMvds
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHyZLzDSys
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFLgvy6FIf
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhUSYdWmPp
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBQY201gIT
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKosv2UY6fY

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ECNA3CuXt
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iCjdjykyp
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HpeeHSg5B

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXltDOpRLUK
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJpaZrqLwx
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfvnnSuuZL
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs35cwWqyW5
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTT9OuwuN9
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.

Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtztBVPLWO
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCN8FCWjHe
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMn14umqbI
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczIxIOZvGn
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSfFwdvftn
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9srq6IeQf
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3MPO2U7EX
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFpK1GWxSG
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcasLmj8JS
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgfqNfNXm2
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0k7VViTG7
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF12sT7KoRQ
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnXKCXg9Q7
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSnpfU8JKT

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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2WVdaEWPt
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kyuniXQIB

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCnbej5ej3
Kakarot: “Huh?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXF6lNK5dm
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0S5rhGi0m
Raditz: “Why you!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoxdFBAXmv
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFh46s1JhJ
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDv2uuFCTF

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZH88YBuYZ
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAJKpUobOe
“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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPnFth6Fe3
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVmV7nv6uX
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzEZ2sZLG2
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81pMdxtsOp
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlwctUnGOm
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpT8Cy0g39
Doctor: “I will sir.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyHJz6y0uw
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyr5xTj1lH
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2RlcsmHYC

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX3MgzXQku

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStVMkk75HE
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrBSJNUy7B
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xhMiI1jJo
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bep0cK8QL
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7DTZpgQWB
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYCrK3GO7H
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYvOHtFkL8
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAJFd8Ir2a
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N2sRSAG1w
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.”

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeMk80hpcI

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbpNJtUiCn

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPN34s9U2a

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zzcLVrzGG
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0gEcTERD8
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVKiGpDLhG
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAYd2w3Y2V
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ASk0pabus

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqno0hJaCsS
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.

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMafs3dzt2L
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffda9zTBwc

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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMTBxlGKDY
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnquyYlSzT
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXUBoEPTmt
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPXHeenxMF
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxiztHxIHz
Raditz: “I will..”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1CvTSQQQS
Raditz turned to his comrades.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuWXf1vegZ
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk2URptXGW
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLdd58NwYa
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4taUK3SvG2
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEuNQjjjuA
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXBRLLaUj3
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFu1gDEneu
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡero8D6Nf9j
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpic6COpvwr
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdDcp5sNFw
Beet: “Okay!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf9DhBTPgW
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnnneEzOLo
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPskUyN83E
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcx3EMVZOw
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT2kJgcnr7
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTZiKj2wwj
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMuuiqbmio
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfkynMbi6f
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuTYImNBls
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYamVXdEeV
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUeLU6zPaS
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3IKWJRhgf
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl4s5biTPM
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJH9P7dN2U
Beet: “O-Okay.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDbuOeeINI
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2NGRYmV7u
Kakarot: “What happened?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1oZeSqlZK
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo5knZJ4z7
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqzXYIAlFA
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiLcHAabB8
Kakarot: “Fine.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCVgx5b2xz
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl178CxeCDy
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlrosjSOu1
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO9gmj3gdL
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MhjYRkX9R
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4HO61szYi
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y41fqQxz9
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6Gnhzcy4W
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL9SQKtgIE
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAszVgeLlEX
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbECDtO9sty
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82cwMNRaWY
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0O9jhruQa
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZfhUwqOBM
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReSiJyBDHU
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3jsmd102c
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs64cE8Xn9N
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogxHehAoL8
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIIG09AQ0S
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOYMEs41Ee
Raditz: “Understood.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu97KeCaIvT
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Dt1jm0WJ
Raditz departed from the room.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV2bVz2bbO
“Haaaa”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZOQl9LoRf
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOdbncdrpP
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30BVWRM7wC
Kakarot: “Right.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqguPacRSx
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ113T1Z6ucw
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMsG2tqnbS
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TLt5qlIyB
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKFU199WGt
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AtGls7djY
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CbTvxjOTv
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlGT2AX0L8
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTT8wk3vla
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAzOE4X6zj
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdgzTS94dh
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3XYpSybGs
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlCEj2tII9
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt46bCAKds
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBjI7oJfnM
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0PxX7c7Vf
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKgGa7WAWm
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W8UrSJHgM
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyF2g8Sf3J
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPrGBPomEo
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6JgKIbiVZ
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi7wiGYpBY
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1LWBCpzXV
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ITDG2r4gz
Kakarot turned around.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrstKreG9a
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF7AV0fWxH
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfo0DbdqzC
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0ilnnH5SZ
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbz8iU68Ef
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhmUYH25cT
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXvhqCNpUJ
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsLGAT0IOv
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQJT038yuK
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswlYNNjtwm
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGc3oI1UzO
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxnWkhvUWw
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0QIMgWtvk
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBlcXnCJJK
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTOt5EmjZ3
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cGA7j9ucf
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VsQSAgWAT
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadZZ0LGQjJ
Kakarot: “Right!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96Ol3RU5mD
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XerSeEp7A
Kakarot: “Yes?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7P1V0Pvrj
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxPGrPNArH
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9X0PoiLuV
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxunQ7zu1KR
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmf6P6Zl9q
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuseBZtscm
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZj5kGelRa
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWoUV7hJJp
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepzlGADYTm
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lkVAzSVwH
Raditz turned to his brother.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKIK1cCjEM
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqSxNa1v3b
Raditz: “Right..”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXVoJgx4vj
Raditz took off with his pod.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80uaCMQmpD
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnjvcKDzNa
“Let me take a look.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCwASWITdK
Beep! Beep! Beep!
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbohjtoggCf
“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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9PORue2Vg
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZR70jmtNS
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESWFKquCVi
He bowed in respect.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHnhK93dN5
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3c4tuk0uD
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5jzd6A3Xx
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibtzJpkhAR
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngs8LejfKM
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3841zi386
Raditz: “As you wish.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZoxJEncSv
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAw1mtD0ck
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQNBk6vkXz
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdAUTqWyhm
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaubypWy44N
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL5YI0KpT2
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDJauskDFb
Zarbon took his leave.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3uczACiMj
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICiUjRdjEW
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzswVoV2FVJ
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6gArG6Agx
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQvhLmJ8or
Raditz chuckled.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZXQstx4sz
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi62rJ07od
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dsJeb3LKb
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z1lDrQlkp
Beep! Beep! Beep!
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHQbv3j9g1
Raditz: “He's here…”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlC6K0X032
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcelNUBQulT
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfDc2oLJjX
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c5DGoCfVW
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbiLGREgLE
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY8IKzXjsQ
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgK9s51OVG
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKrcGpOwYs
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqYoPCjdfA
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XBvIP3r6Q
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWheL6zgRs
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaKlqP8cWW
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPdc9qqMGj
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBIGd28ttw
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcjr26qsU3
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KljCItiYY
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0C2NDES7I
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7dnzRN3xR
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YU25TApFJ
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3RtWB6HBc
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3q0TwOEAT
Raditz: “Damn it!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaQQf5Aqb4
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOR5VSlSdL
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9DkPfJby8
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MW6mjU5Lb
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJlgLEzWZK
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxMUueh0rv
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseXG8SX3HM
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajNBo56CVi
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AEsNOcUAk
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vJq6Br3dC
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yf860KZfo
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkdK150jAz
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVnP3q8QV6

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQLhUCn2Ef
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOM0rz7cDj
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGJL4QBbob
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTvSdKSC7N
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOQXgilh68
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6B1bkwmin
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7liKLCTVMJ
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpGsdC3vW5
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnZh5Ik27p

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGILfTaM3Fa
Dodoria: “Why you!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiDa5UtYlp
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GIdUFXr9B
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZmTRxbGYf
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJMItObI9x
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7IhQFnMxS
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmyIuCVcTH

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Yydo3h5O7

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcutx0vXSNi
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQByY45wuw9
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8H5W7A9SQ
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkZe8mSmei
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t4fLXLNCm
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimPLln2TJa
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIetelwyt8F
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2DsyTEkYu
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovZ5mprU8k
Vegeta: “Huh?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCWW5lujwl

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GzLSDMfi7
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhmh6lIHS6
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0jjdL2qdR
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaTVOsAbPZ
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELtIKTRB9Y
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe8VE4A5rP
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc9lirvGM5
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m4mtrbXRH
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9IcMLSnh6

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejXzzhRemU
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bWn2voNk0
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctqMiyd9XO
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbJm0fzzTh
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt70VzbaTQ
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyePYqaJMWy
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFcTjVb5rr
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmX9KS8e0y

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL9VGYI69N
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsHY200N0l
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRe0fay5yG
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKSG0t4pS6
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d2iDvUhHs

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlk0ncIYgg

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8K2diolSl
Without further hesitation, the others hit Frieza with an all out blast of their own, caught in between two powerful attacks, the mighty emperor suffered a devastating blow. The smoke cleared and Frieza collapsed to his knees.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEk91f5Xwn
Frieza: “Y-You-”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMtka0oVpY

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnYPMXk0Cj
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxrKgzGkZV
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O6ze9tTAV
Kakarot: “Not again!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAWNFMATJA
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz7Zwl2c8B
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNVJNopLnA

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjciDabRU00
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTD6PpASQr
Kakarot: “Look out!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JalU93ejQ
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kpg73fu3K

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHTzrpER0J
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCXu4gjvek

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLNwU8OJa6
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXGrhV6US7
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv88pcfIhzA
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpOBHWz7Z1
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvSZsbHqYm
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1lKTSfLKa
Raditz unleashed his most devastating move. Frieza stopped it and dispersed the attack with a single hand. He flicked his hand towards himself, pulling Raditz closer with telekinesis.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm109qRaiZ
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsEfDPd22X

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZNkumNssd
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr074I0fSOh
Frieza: “You again!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVj6piOOZW
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghJMrYKRd6
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW4GSYvNm6
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjixdlWAYX
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK0DH5suge
Kakarot landed a knee to Frieza's gut. He balled up his hands together and slammed them into Frieza's back. Frieza fell straight down but caught his balance before crashing against the ground.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqjMDAdWR7
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sYpXA5uKv
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzgBDPycOp
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o3n7MeMsi
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OU20W9Ym8
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBNO17HbdM
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUewMPxCdpM
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuIgb0551f
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxpe4pAn7X
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0EVwxRiEA
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEXCBPtktU
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU5CTrencz
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn6ZpZK0ZQ
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcu3RACbRF
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtft02hDyO
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaulWTX1W79
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGb8tqMY8K
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2zErmgqqw
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WFROqYTLk
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCbuDIVYfZ
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETWrHuFtP8

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMck4QucRGL
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv41vShlp7Q
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uLJqq6sgc

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIEZmUDK64
“Haaaaaa!!!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp4lw1t2sT
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.

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1us5Cr7hO
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIDCh3Itkm
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVHASjdyVk

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7NghGxoj0

Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe57YnH93RH

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtxm1LvdfJ
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC64RpjKpYS
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYu9E3hfqD
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRi2NV2I6s

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGISso7PFl
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMJ3Ge1Zfq
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh7HMBHru1
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.

Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bYOnu97X8
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCMlz1TugU
Kakarot: “It's done…”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgzzGqjai7
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y4qY2hL5y
Vegeta ascended into the air.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP5CYLiTuf
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwypmzsRIO
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70bBUn9io4
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9WfxeelzP
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeVveLQZLm
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbemTICE8fp
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrR6cH7xo0
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbkkaP6S1f
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCFGtx45XC
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JBpcSPBjK
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0rFswypm5
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaNZeIg65G
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9cgK5hEnv
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoURjeepMJH
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqfbKsZClo
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PQjjLk8Yf
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa16BHo4jtx
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoCGQO2QU4
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG9TxzzMfV
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTO2VE4jYh
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCkMWSHzEB
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NHqXm5yVf
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDFzoT8r1R
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDRou4mXBO
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H2fnlbIg0
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BaL7MIaux
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVQmGyngMg
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlsX7ji8dR
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBvJetO8Fy
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdD3mBad3H
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEbKuThDgQ
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l0cCqnFZm
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxr9aEY2Fc
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rgs6MQotx
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzQN76InLU
He looked at his fist in shame.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KvYRr5AkV
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdekQRmGsDH
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7a7NaVkri
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8iBhDGZSD
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRbk07vBPl
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF33pR0W51
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDcmMnVmP4
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKJSQMvl7Q
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCcHu0VTyr
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnuYLncsxL
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrtcQL6vsg
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HLTaeZ5Pl
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wy9qLv31r
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJcFbI0QCq
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9bEjvp7wS
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..”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hFwKO7CcP
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN75mxPRnR1
Kakarot: “No…”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxSUe6F0DK
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAMCSzGw94
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyj0NKTCNd
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0kYZ2XhpQ
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYRPmGDi4b
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnNKM1ss2z
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqlcWF9tpB
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9gD7cGUX3
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiCY8oFUyY
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoEuDHF1ig
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2bN9C3MJE
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51QzR9Xjap
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cReDFjun7
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wr8wwC7ib
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEsii0U2VN
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWljUsQQbk
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2nz0oJTaz
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQWeF14jUi
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bznPfcEVg
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQnQiPQYFz
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4x60Fwmqk
Raditz bowed down in respect.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsA2ALYnwz
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6nAP5wKze
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWyNZfkXp0
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu4rcJIN83
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaUZpzbUXH
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoAGb7Z7Hm
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg95E6Zq1a
Raditz: “Right!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zPsn8z7hO
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoAX7V1zJl
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTAOuD5A8h
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9P4TqSdBq
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMqYXA1KFc
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnRU4NFaFU
Tears ran down his face.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6m0q8Tyyb
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?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQMMNVyTUZ
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIsCQfjVoo
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJxGLyDZoa
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwmQ415cfA
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMZQ1zmb9r
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3g3tM4Vv6
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG4mprfEup
Raditz smirked.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxnYNzYVYs
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhCr9zXYnQ
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5K33KhQve
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrrH9wOoZ6
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr1TEuaOgJ
He pounded the ground.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nimSpil3I
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP0HUv2nxL
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBikdeDuRn
Kakarot: “To fight!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcahswS4HC
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8YygtSfpn
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVQPDcTfpI
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf9SxYN84t
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUavfg0dxa
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs8ibVrCHM
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27HmfEY7VH
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZcfmbtGjM
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1DwyjbLhU
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!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC0rDFEoJR
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.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K3jpk0EvR
Vegeta: “Wait!”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX83a5drGb
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.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWv5d3qSKn
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkeTUmpUSt
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCVN0O5o5N

407Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAiVLHjOOk
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.

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."
