Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZbizvXmcu
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP57i23cfd
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcs2RvQWLW
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqoBkMLnj8
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonitUQheoS
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0oqGWw4Dd
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsUmNKmZ8A
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcIFQ19mg2
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSZMQGpoPV
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbGcPrXZQ3
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uhCqDjpaC
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBX1AYmKN5
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvu1yIMQpD
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtP1rBGgZV
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8207S0paw
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q0y9Jxl48
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJEQWkFi1f
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2iUmMYP3x
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGEioILzVb
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUXQuRLCyW
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9f6kpy6yI
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr2qTxgkzh
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJEeadSv7M
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHBl5kFg4v
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSzovffsYu
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJgdS7SNeu
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOwhHW28LT
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc8icpMDCZ
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfuyefOXnC
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CREfhhd6s
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOGMIBBAHH
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag9A49Iznj
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyB1T2SDh9
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jSOcxwulm
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HJutWJaHw
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLVVGuUnHl
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7wOsDgEDF
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wugwMCsz5
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95i8vQjjKs
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OgPK2hG85
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkHc57iqnl
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiibNGO65kV
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJKtSTIF6q
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7gLymegao
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRvxsgSYZc
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU2LVAwgy3
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn1GL00P0H
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB61P4zgjW
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwTyQi8E40
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPggtBJDqYc
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtWwgxHezE
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZov9ij7u8
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF7eJTVfsA
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUkntwKO85
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInDqhVHmel
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6hf4sQASH
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvpiPId1hO
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNh7UmdyDa
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifVJnGXFPU
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZheVGY0RIh
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvzxKRZS55
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcASI4Empr7
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnLlgSxDHk
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lZDWe8ISc
Beet: “Haaa!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVMd0nRLRA
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE96RdXiUU
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxx8xDx0AL
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaIPeymNZb
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqUPL2BkkJ
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNKiKSFWih
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWx4ZZYPRX
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-”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHy3eLJlUL
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnDzEsLfin
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka4dnBWCbS
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pmP1ADgWK
Kakarot: “Enough”!
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9gVlcRBgA
Beet: “Huh?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyD7NC0UoK
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMKUFvfPdq
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQZOEHm1ou
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93Bv5Da1DI
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtrmrLJ2F9
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tgaTLO1A5
Beet: “Right!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6Arc0ciRl
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYl3SsnYcN
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09wonuHuFL
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSxfE2apD7
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuCNXEDTnY
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyJSFYJRvL
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvcwhKJpHo
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTfK2R6Bj3
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ez3R2ocbD
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEWD7to9FW
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RL1bnvyne
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2k6Jttt0p
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMbcIH6CAK
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqfUTiJxe9
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JoLGQwf5u

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQA9llpx1s
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf1EsvHlmC

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlmfhRqdfH
“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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Qj0zbQi4
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aSmSvQpcd
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhMtO5As9C
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7GVs4F87L
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhb4Dxuu6k
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5V5cWcCC6
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhybuAiJiPX
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw6V09ranj
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN9H71TPqD
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkVVFy6b8N
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1IphMp6um
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCXLLFB9vz
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXbcNRNbWL
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GwoVwXBra
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWO0nJ1Q3L
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbIVpjFEXa
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomaXBysOpu
Bulma chuckled.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KSQA0BQFt
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsHyIb6uZ1
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxoCUFwjCD
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzSS5zMgpP
Beet: “Momm!!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtzu3yEt94
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgoY3hqteZ
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoROFrI750
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYjoB1fzul
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObvYVvl12w
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfj8FnSbnm
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3gCZXUKiu
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhH1Khip2d
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QQwSbOIA5
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b8y09xZKQ
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatSAyne8VI
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMU3F4LCgt
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqkRkYnWta
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4s5Za90v1
Kakarot: “Enough!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQYh4N71rA
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdUByUWA7a
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmFNLDt4aM
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LO5Oj0ZnP
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC82cCUAY3
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh3wBYHTBC
Beet: “Sir!!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbdlcogIUB
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQwNaQE36Y
Bulma: “Beet!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYJ9ibuzMj
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nsh4CimFq
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm69wUrOXn
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zoyHIhR2e
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb1aP9KKOo
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro0Lq0iwRe
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB7WvjDJuf
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyoocdErnR
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTZ0z3tCWZ
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4BOFfmjxR
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPT3SxSibA
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL5DCPliwr
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCpg47RerG
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj1RH9jj36
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1hAbSprNG
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiONEbu9Y0
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X4nwWzBJh
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz46RGN9Qte
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKeQSqAUIp
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqWVeBRBVc
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESKzGaNwH8
Raditz: “You have my word.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36EkKGUXP7
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwtZQUFozX
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqk3WUyVen
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLADYt5n0V
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ebJb0NqS0
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkgKU08kS4
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Dlbr99mr
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U1xHyTORb
Raditz chuckled.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4nn3FTDZi
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThyZwoEytm
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtasKAT7Zr
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZboTm0hLAp
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVmIHEX4wS
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjhVnXEJri
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmYb95A4md
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhHcPKnDlI
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NMAbo7YcS
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNibq8izKC5
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu50N8NZv0
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Q5vAHrBM
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFqARpiXvM
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD2UmlqXeo
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ3uaefibx
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD7r2Icnyi
Raditz took a deep breath.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh216tyGlM
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcav1PVEywI
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCospaaxMhR
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk0fQWDnHM
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7wgxSoeIt
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLAaX0jALF
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj7OSNLXYB
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpXZIdgOzI
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM3DQo9QpQ
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aXnaoHD0P
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoq2SpTvmj
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdImTM7bsR
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB1L7qfmio
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUiEjIn9Nf
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3a25JLLhJ
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMKF1a07MU
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YNDxf9PmM
Kakarot: “The prince?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWPLckA6Ay
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRWjihdCOT
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYmjq4sL0t
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNTcffrbTV
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCZEosHp05
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelC0z6Tpwc
Kakarot: “….”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSpvqyomIH
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaHgRlkA66
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XcvjN1Iem
Bulma hesitated to reply.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kFqSjkP8x
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5dl5cq03p
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg2zrMUUho
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar6phRzpzq
Beet: “Sir!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtaMZbexPh
He came face to face with his father.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxSRtLJZsK
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwNsNB19Dq
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NgaSR1QA4
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuGUz0xLdG
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXrGmmoVDP
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReXq2UUUOu
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SAKk3Leyw
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uerAlIWze
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoXOlgU2NP
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yHK1VAdUI
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJHIohSUIW
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmlNqgUWDZ
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eTomek6PQ
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmv7EvVSip
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.’
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvg6e2bZqW
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaEIlQBHjy
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpHRsgVrD5
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0SnywObeN
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW31oBkRMjh
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwB3rox8SZ
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB01DwxQfJ8
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZeJ2Xmb7H
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2wh2eoCyT
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj2t1IDrPb
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpwDEhdR8j
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtVT0xRdKC
The prince hesitated.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3coPPBHIdu
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXNfuBmif2
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sc1yrnH10
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqg4S4lmQh
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6PFzB3OI9
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM2CfSgNHM
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xKeexBB5o
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCy3cIXQ1u
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAmdHVMPP1
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF6IMNjFBu
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS0IqrTopN
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSENpEjnCVS
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzGKyH51iK
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8ElrpE0BU
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6pIEUNN4a
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaf0Zax3OF
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDA10VeOLv
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyxPpnEmVo
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BQbC00ion
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleTwDgOpum
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5upcRxFEX
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEewftxGGKY
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2epSjD4Fs0
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDZxzxnQnA
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ROUJrZYSV
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMjfnLa9oj
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsWRA3QpPN
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7b9U22G4u
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0JMSVEaD3
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWszgqq62I
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaUV4KGZ2b
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjvQaUzyVD
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLGo8UjQiv
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMab5tYSHS
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYLDTNypl8
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tPjFinNwI
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqNiWS89HW
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCe3ESKhMW
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lwB5y6Pvj
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Saz0Qh0B4
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2Cp9BLG1j
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgBORWV2gF
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHXbhNz5sv
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIIbRQ9Sjw
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOYSEModO3
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAxXAg6N9z
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzplhQkzwKc
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkIzuc5HgM
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTcSsPcYxg
Kakarot: “What was that?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmxmRvtRyb
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaD3iIifbG
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH5XV6eFvh
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGvzaG3OAz
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P1tTI5YcN
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh12wawHtP
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYnOiSFJTb
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQymSzMejP
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC5xHk6U2v
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G567qPnrL
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsyGZDtIwR
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPycca9MY9j
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tqt912xcG
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrfVpbHxxB
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39rEgYbrms
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOwnPqaqSQ
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANK53DNB8L
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjqGzCWNDe
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnTA62O4ou
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbpXbGy5E6
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5DjCE5EpL
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZFvTIrNDn
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOBkayeyFG
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8zcT0rTFY
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANCEGONBAI
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PyYrsDuvN
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUOLJQoZUC
“Your foot is on my tail!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiyinsH5bD
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFDxcWTSbC
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLpKBzYSZO
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJEcYAdsU6
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzstSj2Dwy
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UC65QraUB
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShGP0d3zlH
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuQvpBmEDt
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppVTGy01jA
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K1lRJCB8F
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdqVpnRROi
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMuQ0pzpw4
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv0OaBtQ07
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6aDwqDb79
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IXE4wbjpq
Kakarot smiled.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAamiCNa5Rg
Kakarot: “Understood!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuwSgB2s7I
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzM1Xll089
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4acDO65er5
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8RO5f1oG6
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwZ0PHFRWI
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFboxAPGoO
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10AzpEYTJU
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHxoTwYcK5
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9pHbiCbMY
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6ySjO03op

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaABFXqVhH
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg98RKQdct7
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB3g2d1qGr

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhA3iCGOXA
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZVAVn7VMo
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHk8sZI9sc
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv4Gpv9zZZ
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5evun56fz
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa82ZnocGEH
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12B8Edh1ea
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3hcKtvMfc
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw08K6NOWNr
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyon2Lbj5rq
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sAGwEeJSR
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWppgtw8BV
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6rid76bQ8
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9JTTJE3bO
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm3s9wDhZm
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFS6t4SiQa
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KTEDz3M00
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfDjFJMS8q
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrPsIRXv9Q
He took a peek at his injuries.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNVYG6nyvZ
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b1QulMOFd
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j9f8viZSp
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4a1AR6n5d

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaeOccDm6c

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJklsglxgH
Kakarot: “Huh?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaSj7V2kSL
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLjZ3MRmLu
Raditz: “Why you!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD0tq5UWIp
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAYK4w11DN
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LbO8zPzTL

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKIiSrm2wm
Raditz: ‘Right!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfxWFuhbre

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6ajuaSa8Y
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmbmAg1dZb
“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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVRgOmA2gb
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIRegrnl13
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhPF2Zxo1Y
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjXY4zGuKi
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDpFmcsifA
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAw6b2Noy6
Doctor: “I will sir.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO68jIJVbb
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug9SiIkFUO
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDUwUe2czq

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQc3W3TF9D
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLdsnT4HiU

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqvBLrxCoH
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oeNF3ABsd
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7xljBq6Vt
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo2BVNZjjf
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUpYeiouVC
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE0PIKfMou
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EoWPa8pcQ
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1if0fAotz
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb06orxXvx
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5AfrWSFhG
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hZeBV51HQ
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMHRtglFsV
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXNjY5eB9L

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwVtwPxKYa

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VOjxMoPUx

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AqwY6iJsu
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yPSSW3Yuk
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iYpX7a7vU
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMwbL9YBmG
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTKbfQzjkr
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIbVBrTt23
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqLgMuuV7J
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWj98p8Tj6
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgMsDnTs3J
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJIkreYFNF
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ui3WoQMC3
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkq83J7Rl2
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPCRrNuVd2
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!”

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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzFbVt4aIm
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2QKAPLquM
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X8NMeIiHF
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UwlVWSIkK
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpmh4rYJJx
Raditz: “I will..”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUmH47pmmk
Raditz turned to his comrades.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fyoZXbwkz
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD0hhv956Y
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe4mnrW1EW
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEuVstK5EZ
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmq90DXrTG
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUSXzqzW4s
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzMwRIHbxt
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvX5IKx2T9
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VewrAP4aE
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQANpsUo9u5
Beet: “Okay!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvryu3QwUJF
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HlygpsfcO
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKmb3JJoZf
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqOIjAM680
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXXDq5Fg5J
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA6zv1PjgU
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ExSQMdgyj
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbV9VNXokJ
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGVeE6hys3
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3klYjkonZ
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZvlxdAVUK
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkJWPZaBvO
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG60TRf0gF
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT4ChYaGhP
Beet: “O-Okay.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHogZJyBBGW
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJPvxplKPB
Kakarot: “What happened?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeQuXKM1ik
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5EjtEtDMh
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonFcnPwku5
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxft205wlk
Kakarot: “Fine.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdadCjlEQaj
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB0nQMBb95
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUzUTiTqPw
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJlOYKboYk
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEksUSKAVvW
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NgAf0lChi
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwdYAkHSUp
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxQSBqT8Lj
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdI3QUocbM
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kJ56qs1gI
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0u094mJcz
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0V929AdSR
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41LeZ9xd5B
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWKiVnXR9x
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU2GcJu3f8
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuePSFCYF7
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88aGdjotal
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYTYP0nUW3
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgzrA0UZ7U
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqO90XyX52
Raditz: “Understood.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B3KpcPfzO
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtKuo4KPhp
Raditz departed from the room.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bd9crWGRh
“Haaaa”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCEuY8OVQv
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJaTc6juxj
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtblLVUalB
Kakarot: “Right.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnVnTQYp8R
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBjZExMQzd
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPqfeEgp4h
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEhk90XwqC
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rvy53NqOV
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpKJTuPY9O
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2at6hPzeUL
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbiJJ143oV
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyO7eOcSbC
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B0lLoEZre
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLnKAyBnVZ
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnhDxHssBM
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmsUUEkkIv
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkooTFu6zLg
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkagfTuQjX
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawOk5AEggx
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yTHGBQs92
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbSFu5Uxme
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA9uD6Khv5
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeoSANAjeF
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwWifjGFEQ
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDPUIzGPQA
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvSylXB2Zj
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqfJy16tad
Kakarot turned around.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KKrsSZh8E
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMd4fGYkWh
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNMRUDIa94
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16J9fhKXQp
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGQTPh6mNE
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bjhch1373
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgFGJGuVRY
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQRyMgovVE
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4TPpNrP2b
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T0tMHCbkF
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDAAvzaA0c
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMuoTvwwou
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LFKSk2dPA
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAxo6C8LmS
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UaRwsx0NI
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxfLFbHRoY
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh30o710mfh
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6DKvxScu1
Kakarot: “Right!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1isjMfxVu
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RmRTuTQWa
Kakarot: “Yes?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrorIZaLGME
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CCyCqiU4X
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kWsWkB42t
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnq2t9YX56
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq85uhQGxE
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB67P0P10w1
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2kISrsw0y
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX15GMlUoQ
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aXcY31BsJ
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbJpM0HaaS
Raditz turned to his brother.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDRcCJk8EG
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1t8wsGOay
Raditz: “Right..”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP2cWGdgcL
Raditz took off with his pod.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbd7yfGEjo
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyflJ4RYzYC
“Let me take a look.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJYpcOtY1p
Beep! Beep! Beep!
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vGIU8AeLQ
“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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8RpW9lddn
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkJMUqskTy
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulPBQ11weV
He bowed in respect.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo919OLygR
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV0jtNop0b
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMaO12NdnD
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNc9qhohuh
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyVPgtsa6R
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC6xOqkRys
Raditz: “As you wish.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqBT8vwn7J
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSeofct4pc
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWONzHCYcFW
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonHbKgIsQr
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2evDSyO1K
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoobccxjVd3
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNpetlCrJ0
Zarbon took his leave.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnnF44MFYZ
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjR50hD1r3
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHyoRqUX2a
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN2jbM8TaU
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGzshw3yp3
Raditz chuckled.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFS6CDV5KY
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16vE1YFh0N
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd7UHv9iHd
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejbZABrmTT
Beep! Beep! Beep!
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG2kiYkoZ4
Raditz: “He's here…”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJKVkrzlfX
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZvQAFmghi
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXqr7C325J
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd1rNAmTGd
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhabKHiVHnM
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUa3Rq9x02
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj5FCNFD78
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwLeCLqwi0
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZY5g1AAOM
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuQkGssWnP
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKbPicnmsY
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt2RlQaw8u
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvbJaotQ9Y
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqhC1ihOjG
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnN6JJdOpP
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ia8n0F5z7
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiYjlJ9Wbv
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9OzQqOhq0
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEeeSC53xU
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA23aZleOZv
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf4TFC9XTr
Raditz: “Damn it!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6retahQ35F
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDCPO9jyiX
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5MNtLYR0s
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yc5vjDYAG
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i6ByFYDDp
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqzbLN4GOy
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmQ4guD6Ka
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDERZ83xdP
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mxk13DrBE
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT7oNki8kR
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLCjryijoH
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWuDgEYJDu
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9vjDzdOXy
Beep! Beep! Beep!
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3OoI2DOfW
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6BlZdJrSO
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWPXjThkca
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpurPyaRj9T
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu5kHeA5ot
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wu6aOrdsA
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrJRQ1WeCS
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IKwsPoWGj
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFQLGwshwV
Dodoria: “Why you!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TkLJVzvco
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvtaTun8TH
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5BF9q1qK0
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9o4eTWAnE
Zarbon: “Damn it! It's really come to this hasn't it? Take a good look saiyan, this is the last thing you'll ever see!”

Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS1TiubZJD
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS87BwcZCVz
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH4EvAxZ2X
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57tApfeqQE
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rElLbkq3L
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYoyv2PgDB

Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kHq74ZCCW
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpzhMrKpr6
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLEps86RWk

Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOv1B8NZPb
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztRJSELyeA
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!”

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.

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjILaa61IS

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPUnnIaoqK

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaupvIpa9A
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04lkMwESgz

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFS7UOPjPs

Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxL60Ackja
Kakarot: “Not again!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh6Ph1ljir
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLET2ORlA3

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZNSFVCkVK
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnTBG71us1
Kakarot: “Look out!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQzR8DQxnb
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.

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit2GI7gn1J
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkbHKRsMpE
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bZzk2Z888
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOvHWVnddW
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLruEvTAK5A

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZbwriYyQ3

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnVBXaaaMm
Frieza: “You again!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHyffiTk4M
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGQuigXioN
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPISIynkDi
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm2kAZ2cMH

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W1KKB12l1

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGrNypbGpI
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV49Ya9cPyC
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG00FtVdua
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDa8DUs9lK
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gRMCoCL2f
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypSDwt5ojV
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q0HNzHDHr
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxewCjjMqb
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB93KsHQsp1
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuyvJxmAXq
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg79g3bhcsh
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0h8JM2z4x
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOTKq1DKS4
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxIFFpLYN8
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50C6o1kCtP
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpZ498E6st
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT7PuUvtKh
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ3WF6iarU
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEhRQwyaix
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OC304ShHE
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jLSO4RtIx

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcb4PTZ3lr

Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwddIPR31Dj

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P2T9685eT
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MqZRn15z1

173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6G6EG2bQ4
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS3HV4CKBG
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb18rTzsEz
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-”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeF8paEVqf
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCUwwi3wgt
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0MDeiyFOs
Kakarot: “It's done…”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBGSfwlENs
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLRNPhy8AS
Vegeta ascended into the air.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJRHTBPSz4
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWxvve1Q0l
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAZj1aAxIw
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuckmKEmJIy
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFXAIr1XGq
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjJzpfevkv
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgMPorV9c0
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJuMop58NO
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahBLVOPD2i
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4IunOhGL6
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgIy2U2P4m
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy8EDClWCL
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9wKskVsfs
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapAuPy0Wky
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ481TcpVDfJ
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uOO0cGg1O
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaTADz3GPC
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CMwQiUAEi
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNJCketgYl
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4WOeoAVJV
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde53F2KFL1
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlg2FENOeu
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQZL1pUeVD
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNTS9MdiV3
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiwts70b9d
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EwCycHoMF
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBNxgpJy0n
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr0hxxlEg8
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBN7STBrBJ
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgkKY5Zu1u
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3rC5gqKNW
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1lhUdsZTW
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtpTjikqKq
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD6fYSFjNJ
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZM1hxQK03
He looked at his fist in shame.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7ZMt8UP87
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexTVok8f1f
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LFF9AeoNx
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfHl0BqqNr
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3n590Cy7B
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABDVuGZfci
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpWADEsYvx
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHGV1GUMU5
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTaCBVyOgV
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1BV8UDWhl
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXozVa2s47
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbInLPgnjfo
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60MyD57aXj
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZdUYFAotM
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnxEosTRaf
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..”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTMHVFWZ0n
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstBZWqaYXf
Kakarot: “No…”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M6m0vxHh9
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMuUaaDdjx
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxncDIDbLMo
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYrFhaPSmS
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9s93NlH8D
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOWk6knvwO
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVOyKErHaj
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXI1eCzVFj
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2RUKdaCGt
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9gI8JVNcV
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcvQ5q6Rxb
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQXPmpzlNQ
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFOyOVGzq9
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdILyjbz4jp
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDc63GJ2xv
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23haChpmnf
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwBpviDRLk
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEEjfGAah1
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGPPLC8NEw
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AGR7SAfQp
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoru4RgDfIl
Raditz bowed down in respect.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2BoVBQ73f
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbixGdKofXQ
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy5SPf5anS
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5iNYDqOgi
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm5CIk2RjC
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt7WWALDrp
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDorqgOWzQ
Raditz: “Right!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmrw3qx7WV
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3OXpjkY6Y
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOM7WF8iWi
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QKzi1oaoJ
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVaXNPUdSD
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM2D9AcURp
Tears ran down his face.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaUvrOOBOj
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt0Mxx9tni
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPOtifewsm
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7idtwXNG01
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfBX7WfVOP
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2QRmqDB1O
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ZmpLml1A
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfc5x18wgU
Raditz smirked.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5aqoROpkv
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSHgLmHFYb
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fKw3oRcza
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw1kXttlbI
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSvoKv3sgs
He pounded the ground.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfcC9vdZi4
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX43Avf2k2J
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZkubpRveB
Kakarot: “To fight!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3aU0q405L
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsczrQrsVd
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnfpceOSxn
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGZskN041K
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pOvX3i0Oj
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54CdtssSDa
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A8RtGUidX
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4rMZW9pQ0
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC0vxwfQTZ
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8EKXc1aWi
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLWsNAKhk5
Vegeta: “Wait!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5mitQXm5K
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A2EjEATBd
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQfkBrBQfo
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ2R3L2dvr
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5SEk1iwUO
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbpC5ZaV9z
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!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJEaZ0Pxgi
Shenron: “As you wish."
