Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UxQPSq9rJ
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCNrtTOj5i
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8ikp20Q7I
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWabtRQIjW
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmzIFnPK5E
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQr5oiLcNB
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI4rZrV43t
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeA11H7w76
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjHkoT0SUL
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE53mghE1Y
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDl1CNQl5L
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOu9UeNzgP
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwWuXQaWGw
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU57Cy4Zom
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDlVF3RGcz
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Kzl73zKm
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8bMCpf6oJ
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlPOagNdEo
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK3l15GbXD
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7xRYXpdqY
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZagFasuU3
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouZcHC9Awc
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6pwYVhjQ6
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZrEacEfA4
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiEnDWWBOt
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8UCzPTPYc
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHAJlXpCb5
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQvVw4uzVm
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgRHnXefwF
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ597d4yt5IS
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjJAbJFYY1
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrfLmHHxkR
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JimNUVzhF
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ClF7joMs1
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb5qZIGyyU
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0TOx7EdfL
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat4FpWiVi5
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXtQcTwG57
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJQnRoIB2d
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTI6lXa8nY
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM5ZPnj4N7
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQv7oOrBQi
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDrHrLnYyQ
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSx4LpV3Gx
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIzO0IUHjJ
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfj8bCbYMk
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2buPhpZFd
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qdGe796Rp
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGpZhpSVxo
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡindjpwf5zL
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMD9dhuENP
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M5n6fBInc
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFptqGErxs
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagTIfRpqcG
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBemFD1wdcG
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhAy8C3uPe
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPABnqcpjzq
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWo3C7GPXW
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnOBVRXMDZ
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjGCYdJUGT
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsNHpO6bos
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9jGRtQa0E
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCVklZB6J9
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO2K7YUDRz
Beet: “Haaa!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmjL3DRisj
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7Mtxb28c3
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl95Pj6RnjT
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2jSjoQKtx
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXH2OyTO9l
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LnSC8nQYK
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfKHGlbnRB
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-”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3DSKVcRSL
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK6ieplpVs
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sc0fIZ8rs
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZK3hW5CGL
Kakarot: “Enough”!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmWaa22Rbe
Beet: “Huh?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HoJy1lyUS
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWqhKvvCEt
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeHgnciSU9
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5t5nc9ap5
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qDFzphS7c
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMDQOEje5e
Beet: “Right!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibFeFjB19r
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZrvviGkjB
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHqbOMe1Ga
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxNOX3C68B
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu4nfQgpD7
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYo8BVaSB0
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLlPfhUP2g
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb6ZTKLMGw
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eM5JRppFL
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3QE1LjVhd
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ6KJQ2UuH
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm5T8XBCcI
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RsGcRy3jd
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh5PNEURzE
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN456GbOQB

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIhoKQwi2N
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2gy1HaPuD
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKXWZdEHpV
“Only a fool would continue this struggle, if we surrender to their commands, at least our people will get to live another day. I'm sorry, Colonel, call off our men.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv3gszt8EA
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvbQDJeAnx
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OC9JiMDJ4
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXz2JIPKCF
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWZeLpsQXm
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcSpcl3mva
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlozKFBTmt
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqHqz7rVzr
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgOfuvOg6I
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSGaIJxxRy
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3su4RnFHzT
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFqLrdf0l2
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVqtfbPTDV
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLSYbUVmuF
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pHJfYp5TU
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl108usXfmu
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnJMuyulIt
Bulma chuckled.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHapXQGKp1
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX1gnllNGj
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aCFo3Nfp0
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgDJdbFYqH
Beet: “Momm!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLTszyhGuU
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtUOWedPXU
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ182bCaCdI
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCOndZamJ9
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMejSEJyGdS
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxgrn5jTRg
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvvudPsFmC
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLtYa2JNmR
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTXWKTKTUM
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTYFVCSV3I
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYF1IiwMyv
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVSBBkZIf9
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QtfJxRn3p
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRLibmd4fS
Kakarot: “Enough!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSe61usS1k
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXqP9ABQ77
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJto7xUtjN
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JVpQypOnk
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxuk6U9Mps
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fiXM0sinE
Beet: “Sir!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuoTbK12r9
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGovIek1W9N
Bulma: “Beet!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM46BeNSdEK
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIST6rHiFYV
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU8kdBsU8o
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCXu4mfWMZ
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhGXElXOqT
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBUiBe9XUN
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQWiSIvZ3s
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdwUCmibNf
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL17kQDshBD
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hC0yELFSy
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPWDGYf0oy
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspQBby1jlb
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDbCkfIYAA
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw7s3T89G6
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG13d4TmVhN
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bbGoy4fPo
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq5HbKo52V
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP3G2j62xZ
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqhA8Uza6N
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe5XzonpWZ
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAozKaldedu
Raditz: “You have my word.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbYaYziXgH
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98kExSw7ON
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ICLSeU3L9
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpFW9CJnQF
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlq1KeXuDW
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTyU0rWPOu
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex9tpmzjHi
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlItgKOmH8f
Raditz chuckled.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhrANFNISx
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUX7KCp3Pt
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9yVZdBqo3
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UVRoJvQSr
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jJrDFatFp
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLjI3yoqjG
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LNyEIVwVE
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHk2EsELEw
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjhqBpSUAR
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiXpQ5T6Ie
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQjrdXv78o
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCwaRBCPF8
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkBVZWfqKl
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrgIEwCM4M
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrnZs7RdxI
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4NJos9V92
Raditz took a deep breath.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZzyfPxlh3
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPswhA6tHGQ
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6PzdzvG6Q
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHFTmLlLtb
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrL6nAxIJV
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlWb5h6IWh
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95hedCCoia
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfq9De6pcN
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSWgxFtVZK
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKycZxRRcXv
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrACTWcoO0
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdfSo8dlqc
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GsiLqIzcp
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPLRUuaiLx
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmxRGctRh7
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyshMHkRMr
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB08jhtKAc
Kakarot: “The prince?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zYTlx4PCD
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5KPKsG5VP
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCHlvQIlxt
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5GUPQWOD8
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxtJAoP50L
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQL1HxJugf
Kakarot: “….”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXZ4eXBIbT
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBJC0C3HNn
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q1GpA8c5z
Bulma hesitated to reply.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EYC1xZarJ
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoHfJiTBnk
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN88huknk1n
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4Omzt8rAt
Beet: “Sir!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOB0bP6SeO
He came face to face with his father.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61tG9n6564
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cQxYUPQbw
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCasJldUKFr
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrByo1NgwdL
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWxAC66Ppv
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdaYCb5IE3
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ5plU0alP
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZHU4rLSfP
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q6auF65od
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM2zGxEwNK
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9HLXsyx6a
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOVa0kjUwR
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J5Gm6ZqEu
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA1fibvYLx
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.’
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkgGbpueyd
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vUetswUvc
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWFlHAUzPw
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUelE5eSSu4
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SWzzIwlaJ
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAyGbKfd9D
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq8qkGiuJ8
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNYNUuAmOd
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8AoIsFOEO
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhqkVnUg6B
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxCOCm57DO
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0PurjC8FG
The prince hesitated.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpOFHRiO4f
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UhcvQdQpn
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyLRptlxb3
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgTmEXgAW0
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBwqamVrlu
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5oPrm6SPf
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojR1WOHV8s
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bs63bwAEU
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffCU0KG4mG
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ811ewfUgQ9
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF59HWUb2i
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB78SxrxQ6b
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOceShh6mE
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ulxdmUkpO
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwhs5Onbtd
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIBVlze3Vj
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsRl5R80BX
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t6BdisFq1
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMKC8YxZ8e
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2WoFDLSmp
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW2Vhuv2wQ
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH1J2hOT7I
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARrmjjfBFY
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGfxl3ngfA
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3ultejrTw
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4fWZNFiME
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoaTbVIBAk
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0aeeqHM7G
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhfk0kcPOT
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVGSnKpyHH
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrJwxVhLRI
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ2T6EFBj6
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKWGy5H4yZ
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VZTgMkE3k
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYPTgSjDNr
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAwZt4xSFS
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUwOtYPURa
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyvdSagETl
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kdzJ5vQlC
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvpGOk7gby
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF86Pd0Mcdh
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZeCiIr4UV
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYzHYgrjTi
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRdxn4ZDnE
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuREDcdylm
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1p3C3FlBF
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFV0amb5d4
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxezuhGgqz
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDcl6O01rF
Kakarot: “What was that?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPTp2955gP
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG68XQYzGSa
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XFcvVMTsE
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3406BizFi
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX6CzvRV9Z
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoYLOgHgbt
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAtAUpMdR3
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB97nNfkxIi
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7xsdQjext
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuJgnQi8ip
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUdpX2GzEB
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwCA1SfQDj
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbBi4JZkoY
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD39BKW1gB
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwv1siybmd
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEitUsMhcq
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvRLQF8cfG
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdrb3YFsv0
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BXKNamKi1
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ08w7F8wKS
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH1M2PHGkB
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ505Fs3nV
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr9HkLGuUv
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgXe6z2uP5
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qz2l1PMKd
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMkUABvBJM
“Your foot is on my tail!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z7eRQK7Ys
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU9hK9B0la
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREiXrQeeFW
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy46iCiVhQ7
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSc5Svbswb
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILUEgh6pEP
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkViWyqcKmC
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQiHEacLpV
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9QoM8j0PH
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hRq4r8Dn4
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMQ5HYpaLz
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI9P1LDq0I
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P75EOnGQJ
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKXC451Jnp
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSboOR9vL6x
Kakarot smiled.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTS1fR7yw8
Kakarot: “Understood!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAjaYcHArv
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDsh2Z7SrL
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNHkJEGOc9
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu90z0EEEZ
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e6TH2Cd1P
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgQTEMyJXL
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdjqOh3lo5
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiTtbd7YkY
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj7JNEudAQ
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepHrGyZP1d
Vegeta chuckled.

Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9uuH1wE8F
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKaR0Xzo4c
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy749pUd6WY
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLtXLCqUq4

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYhUpwVtX6
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7ExxgaYDb
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLfUUS4hVP
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGzG6Jg4yP
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmSVhC5TWn
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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZwIaq0Xh2
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3YDmj1Ibk
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMdEiUatkB
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN0ezQzd3v
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SKdxw6u1y
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZQisifQJu
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKBrSUihQ0
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAau92lfBN
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUDVxVfp0T
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yzklziaJ1
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3trSEOW4F
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYezEaU14GE
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO163XHqQZ
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOn4NHVrfi
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ0n6IaNKd

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFOMe1KnSH
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwf7ad6K5t
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdEm0psu6A

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZfB2uPMVU

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jy7wjtfGB
Kakarot: “Huh?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy4SEaVSWM
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg41C8vFvb
Raditz: “Why you!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBuLG27mbn
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgM4OODMWc
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j9JwGU6DM
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSTmNNsD4B
Raditz: ‘Right!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WEWnYLe2B

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ269TPOzqo5
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmPIYWklix
“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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2XnUhukJg
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXyOwimdjs
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZULRPjVc4
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCMOtJQGyz
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbChefXUNNr
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwzyPx8iTm
Doctor: “I will sir.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOMgqmWml4
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TBBgO7M4C
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYhoXcooCD
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLKxdWIUVc
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbWty2PcRY

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur9XSFrJgc
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7gTT1BpVD
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk45inVwUM9
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD0IpyUxbp
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQsLnRS6rA
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeFdlhrzoH
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlOIYfCShU
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLYBKve8E7
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jsDK8xcJQ
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsfRJtBolB
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiEWFOUxWR
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtgBMrc92H
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNawegB1p4

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynTBXrtyMl

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcz9IRoONG

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QjxXdv29n

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIKUjDCeqF
Kakarot turned away to face the door.

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDeMaB4pPm

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPx1fr9ytA
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlpiaV4ENo
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW08MxnIRc
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM6h5bsveB
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM0vgd78zt
Kakarot: “They'll be fine. Humans tend to fear what they don't understand. Our family won't cause any harm, they're here to help this torn planet. You'll understand when you're older.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOoIaOZa5W
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zs3kfAMe1
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsUXbXFzlz
Kakarot: ‘My apologies, I had some other business to attend to. As you all requested, I've brought my boy. Beet, these are the last remaining saiyans. They're like you and I, you'll learn a lot from them as I have.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6leCP5F67
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”

Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBdQop2k7z
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiiPL7OowA
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cD58tPuBo
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbJEAl6TI1
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqR9i58w4T
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfbB8I2NRi
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZQkc23Iph
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDZ7fs3ejM
Raditz: “I will..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGPzLN6cMB
Raditz turned to his comrades.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpOOVl3R2S
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoGcv0XGtw
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJag6CKJSjb
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLdeqYm1E1
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUkaF1YhPb
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX2o3iWDE7
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u4plU8VeB
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy23Fe2dCCx
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpJL34UUMD
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqijXVVaOR
Beet: “Okay!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTiJspdtWh
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T2S4LdoFo
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxHIJ6EUgu
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunZl6xAzFl
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw7dYwxRwd
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOgwlt0M8w
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBQsohpZtE
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlM9YCPqcK
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUhnmW5kpq
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24L0okZtMQ
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW8XdXvTxG
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeiklD3Cte
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfbgMRPbPQ
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFhoi4R66x
Beet: “O-Okay.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu8ydlOvk9
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCy1FmzTe5
Kakarot: “What happened?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsE1g5rOOR
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF5q0ktO5r
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ610oYbT9Sz
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOO56hVda3
Kakarot: “Fine.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZdVUKhJvG
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUmIsFhU7h
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAqb6K9HbN
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR43jaqeco
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yJegXpfvq
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4WhGcDgZf
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX39pZ3zhz4
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYs6LF7001
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhLFSrmSRI
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3Tq3ENWQ0
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYWklaDHA4
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYoxql3IrS
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJi7Eij6wQ
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxVrhJUEeD
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalNYHvJ1fr
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKSFNjw6EC
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1wTuZeQQA
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke0I9qIQtt
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo674WKtrI
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfRzae8VsP
Raditz: “Understood.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p9qgpOcqk
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGRj0gDP4C
Raditz departed from the room.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yk7lk82cy
“Haaaa”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4dV3SiRBm
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHo4co81TH
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLlDaKi8H1
Kakarot: “Right.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7czp72pyI
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTAHfGVKsZ
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ08LE8IBwU
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoLTa0WkF4
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR4glvXMXW
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsLM9jNmlx
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ1WMJR54I
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GfWpf4aaB
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaCQl7TKy5
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fn58QaWpO
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlULz8fiYE
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQM45QqcCP
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc79m52jAA
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwur0ag8rqt
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTyH3FtSjm
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xLgSN8zWr
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rmpfiq5PX
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRfGeJFp4u
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2250vjZ3Xc
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs56nIJfccQ
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfdU8sfZLQ
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCg4izF7rs
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4zjsF2xXo
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAUscaVg4T
Kakarot turned around.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6kpdqMMcj
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjD2a1xH0X
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL5IbckX6j
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjbnU8oOwm
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml1WR64DdO
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPzXMCfHWq
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtdzLP962R
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVnmabnzGw
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGZBlukkCL
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiASE9th7g
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTt79qUFaj
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvKuJ4ev9p
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvXapBBkOb
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiJUTHJt6V
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uUCx3SzbC
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZN1XBDlEG
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8bmZrwQLf
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwYCqvCXow
Kakarot: “Right!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqfGBtBi5V
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZtyb9zFqv
Kakarot: “Yes?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NUkbUQeHm
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63B31FtLl0
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v7rNCLZOA
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7L8AlRYML
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhwQ3fzPqV
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQO1tYRKE7
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvFRVofElU
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx28DsrmWqL
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tL6z9EQ35
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeWMYIGSMQ
Raditz turned to his brother.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOgLmLBClp
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu15Zk9y0Ox
Raditz: “Right..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm9W78ktji
Raditz took off with his pod.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtIHJSWXVq
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIvwkwoE5V
“Let me take a look.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrnDNs9oYG
Beep! Beep! Beep!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5KLTJDsLY
“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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys0VQjzo5M
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTEPyLjaIs
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf1CrVOyJM
He bowed in respect.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxPruDkKgi
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7kh3p7jOe
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDUjhdrpNl
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTM2EOc0VZ
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBnxZDTLK2
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisxI8z7LaP
Raditz: “As you wish.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6is5prSgV7
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCWlmO6C4D
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6beGAKjKP
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRHa87n8uV
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHtxYoyqRj
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rNn6to488
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz3bRZ5ujh
Zarbon took his leave.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBe4GvQRYy
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQXvHiyQdL
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QYHDuXVDB
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesKDaN64Ng
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCMGrXX04G
Raditz chuckled.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm1oKdFA1i
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkPISufVQM
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssDqDZdgQF
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceKk1L0aAo
Beep! Beep! Beep!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn7qPgGUgs
Raditz: “He's here…”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5lD7lMrtc
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82qZuMuFY6
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiInteZMn5G
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3IIQVkCgS
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH2vsgxY0S
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqyQpnZ3v3
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ljpnwbaqz
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgELAyvKPf
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMel94aMyKh
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN8cZzuGla
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjTyr1yHF9
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi18yqoUXew
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYGPNWCdF1
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEfeVx3SBc
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5Oxzyef5A
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzhXmYnUs8
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1GLJcUR0U
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6bUw2pHjB
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUspNSoJLlX
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uuEmuQgwI
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgcVPjgo1Y
Raditz: “Damn it!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlx25jYuLF
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTHlWkeS5Y
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nv1c4aHNc
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmInw09lJeq
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi8moQiEMM
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKSqyeHdRb
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kq5SjwMcM
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE8ELXxseI
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G9tHoNi7A
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtaUwoYlHT
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf4HSrwgVc
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRESNsz9YRj
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimLmpX5qyJ

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvvXa3qe7r
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI5NEUQnZl
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcovG7L0Fdr
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjyS1hxp2z
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRqjraoNVA
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKHkVgH0HB
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgAea9wPIN
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiQ3F5TJKF
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRgwOOrDoT
Dodoria: “Why you!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGJ0eC12zn
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZYSWiwEAd
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVcw27XtoL
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ALIId8YoB
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNOve0pMhW

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpin4wvbUF7
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmPlKoNawV
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpSd5Cg1kQ
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7FxPhAqsL
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQa8rEGI2t
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdc7AktHQp
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxa8Rb3GNH
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlObHfSDcX
Vegeta: “Huh?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OdGEBj5AN

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP291yc7Gu3
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHfRkb0mhZ
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QSE9lnhI7
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi5B7kvVKa
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHQ8ZW7WUc
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGogRWAIuM
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFRxvflBec
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.

Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvBv6Y9E0B

Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO1TuRLC85
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.

Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKqSd8kaS1
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwErUZQPzI
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHtxLcfdd4
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOHYxVFL1Y
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuuwSR1xS8
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5IXJuyB6D

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaNLOMPMdl

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzmeEEhIXQ
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrUkGr4J00
Frieza: “Y-You-”

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmyets3iOb
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoRKMLqBPr
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nP164Z0q4
Kakarot: “Not again!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx8umyX2E0
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqyvycP8mc
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsUmnvNal2

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXbKvcVW9P
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkObtv7zTkf
Kakarot: “Look out!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShN7GywB69
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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j7CaEHroO
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5npIzhDQ0Q

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2edWs60ePk
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPHOejYZpr
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMb66dc8N4
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmTihw51hK
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9zRdpesNS
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4SHn86jeH
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3LUoNuzne
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeK8aaJYC7

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfz8OJUET1
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkHAnI5AyX
Frieza: “You again!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3pbBhURF6
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoQfPenQn8
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsuKGIPiAD
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCORkDvdXJJ
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgckruxATj
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyfCD4uaFU
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5bgFhTQbR
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBkJOeD9bO
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnhdvfT2OB
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxyTCQHO4v
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qQe45FLss
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczPrfr7Yjc
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Fv2Mam8M
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej6tKHmQl8
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIuoknf9e8
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNSLADexSu
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqetO8q2bXt
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQXVerEklQ
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuSN6CB6Mg
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvAvRhXgrk
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7ZrIu4Vde
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR7DM7Wdjx
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wsMseeDPk
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAzYWCt2vY
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUmDnGdXiL
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AnkQAuTAw

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUKZr3TYjk
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSwcYHCcbt
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsJPIyLQP7
“Haaaaaa!!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HH63yMftL
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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa9XcFNHa2

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cXlCAffXV
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXods6kFIf
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFIG0Yipk2

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLQ54lRKdf

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqwfSVnQDn
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8hmCTaR1C
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR67uCDv6O
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt9NgYDFhM
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJpqrJ7P6f

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6X4amkkMP

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNYSI3LRL9
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw7Io6szeW
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHpMy6qtjb
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.

Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUifkQ55HcC
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDTqwX0R32
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IgWY9mSvH
Kakarot: “It's done…”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpbMlXqqJR
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wm3tbUSM4
Vegeta ascended into the air.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZJf5ENrrN
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3nY8bl6Tp
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyWHsKLB2H
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBsaI41glB
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVLAzJEagg
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7odRPhgtHG
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOG9ItWQry
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jk1FfxgcD
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXMOsDdX1u
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWU2ihZSb4
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6ANaiQ4km
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQxctIMmmL
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4tu8jnINZ
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sfvDCiUcN
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrVkrO6Itb
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bojIdj34E
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YPqk1uzGv
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BC4W4vMf7
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WPLLKAPwA
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQzW4CnNRg
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByMopILYql
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjTMOIo4Lq
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPTWaz7jMA
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JJM0SJQ6D
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpKNyOIwbk
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmut3znMc3B
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6NfjDSByv
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuFftxHhxs
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasg0CsrgDo
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt1tjrZy26
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLt0gMXboG
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTv7DGXU2l
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH4l1xk1HD
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMDL66vx5O
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIrWEccY0d
He looked at his fist in shame.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZzoiP7bSc
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnOGQ304Mh
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NEYVVmtNU
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMwQ1sCCnY
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQBcziK6cs
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkOEZpYbO5
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtYQhDayMC
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK8aYTWDWA
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8wm7xEbHw
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OQtqVHoEf
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuSkVhf4du
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6zsNSmwtv
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOF6p1YI2h
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosBP5pFawQ
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoOBwiwRlf
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..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaZJrJ8y8r
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHL78L0AwL
Kakarot: “No…”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0F7YmXPQP
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlNwzHBA8w
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ672dRVQChB
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAdLqMOtp8
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOOZhJ1PR5
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBk8skmSlr
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR4xTIfU30
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhkkYZnjcs
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj0d4jknvN
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY8VIkw6Jt
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjvoLqL06G
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu1sM5NUjl
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUut27kGzbg
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6kH4DvR6u
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHiEFcMxzo
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD0b9ZYcaS
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzco7A33fjw
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw7kECOkDb
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTUJZ7T7JH
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMZjLSQXE0
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaJIrrLq0j
Raditz bowed down in respect.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmNPL81CYC
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenBeL422Nw
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGpbTnimFQ
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5x2DYRBSK
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TR4KenRzy
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNcaqkhWmq
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VAyMK4ucM
Raditz: “Right!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFT7lKM4dj
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvuymK1oK0
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxb0yy30Nn
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHceremWAE
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzNOd6HaHl
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7VZJvsFzB
Tears ran down his face.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbLRcwPM2W
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jPgLklIk6
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eTWygrT5K
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JFqv8M91v
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9DwDE1szc
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn78257PIvz
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDHhLsHXco
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxfhyaPwAm
Raditz smirked.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg93r2twkHF
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKE5qxLMIs
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP5iDBAsDE
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPV5OsBqqY
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotTJ4rUDvf
He pounded the ground.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG5233BW2F
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi29Chyniyb
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLbbj53YQ8
Kakarot: “To fight!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0SpaZ7gzJ
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjj9K31YJh
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxkvBiF3X3
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07cJW9oqm1
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7AlnAqk7A
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFPB7tdQnP
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft1KUaXIwi
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D68MV7C8v
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5g95HPFrn
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsWxqg10xN
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLu4X77vJs
Vegeta: “Wait!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhchSFZsO5k
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkndgP8v3Ve
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzR9pQnFdi
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwahhVwWEc3
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ7uTQB6x2
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2NV6aKHIg
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."
