Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DpjI4g0HS
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5yaHHYE5K
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvTaU5ccwt
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEuMc5DXQy
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CSq1al25a
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmzMWvEnSC
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2PQ4fc3Rw
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aPdKcBpBs
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQzAKYrhyt
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaOHEy5Sdo
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4cOlJmAfs
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zjNCYmuQR
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuD9y2bXHX
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJPhUZWsE1
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69uUyTu8QT
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU8anWUClj
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltBQqAjKbv
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLjS8mJg3S
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmkZWIiJA2
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ3nkRuLiV
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4eDlK2E1U
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiXwal8WPL
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ08A7ocuWo
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dx9VdL6zk
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6emy7Mr94U
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KwCocyIVs
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrDUS76Itl
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxJdHDhqQ5
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ0a9GvAAi
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0gVXnxPzP
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DF3DSgyBU
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFMRxggCrz
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldkZMu5tHs
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8sRzBmN5x
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgAaJ0Mhyh
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGuffSXkZF
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnE54qGzIK
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSHWCqFDNm
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6wUmoYxzJ
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZevphKytXE
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsvpEv1snm
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BnMp0CfVG
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU88aR5Uan
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYwEQOMHWY
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFcZaHJ7lW
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKerj1ODb84
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19DeXsCa04
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerbw97pcpK
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHw1YrnX2J
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KQpIgplBv
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHenWP38if7
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf1TQ9bKD5
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Ei2yZB34
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAfAzznKMH
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkxXVsyRhR
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEesQRrr37E
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyZKb5aj7h
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT4wIM5ORx
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIa8XYLtty
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoi20HPDZN
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JTBOk5dQO
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pTyokzwkc
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlZABgPYgd
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm3ErWs73q
Beet: “Haaa!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgbIjtL5OX
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J9lVImKhn
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBvlvzLY0r
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAsqtyfOiq
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7p3CF69qG
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLk9Ykvamh
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmThMJLYVXl
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-”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqpv33GnGW
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeysyQ62O1
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrye37m4W2n
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxROppGiE5
Kakarot: “Enough”!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi6fjTNwLm
Beet: “Huh?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcxCL0VTnr
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NNfKVBdWZ
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKnUyu1EVI
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo9ZOIaRoa
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXTYSpK0s4
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhkVQ90YaL
Beet: “Right!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvizCypIO6w
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXra0f9S2A
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs1rRpISVU
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EoyaWpVa0
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c8H4UKkou
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s9I3SUJEK
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEzdz9lm1n
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOnvo4pB1A
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMnCc7g5TH
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs2VmWOBea
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsvSZeJVxD
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43TnJE0OXv
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mQVMNyxMB
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANos5W4M6q
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXlGJgOiJS

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP70cJj5r1

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNIhBIBlZL
“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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YCGZCYIzD
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3dvIAD0cj
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPh9qc920E
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQypTVVSWaU
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4aG3XtmLs
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MvWDfvVp1
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKy20ospsg
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0IOP7D50F
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rwKcfRRh3
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonu742XZA2
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuWNsWK7pJ
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgwXlCAvp7
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBrIlv1EDL
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTergVKhBRd
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuUh9rKMwN
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQfzE6Gq0j
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NOfY7laaC
Bulma chuckled.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZjCf5vfHx
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOqvKUOL8d
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvxTbIovvd
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4g5A7PIJL
Beet: “Momm!!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIkPFO4Xl2
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWD5I0XDPp
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUvawnNLVL
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcbnTwXu3g
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzfKqMCh6P
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRHhZ7lx93
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhWP5iNCJk
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXA3HZJmro
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwkSIX1Nff
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejfxIARU3I
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPvX0C8R5U
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYemis53p7d
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4jCZ8LfKt
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyag5JTmeQy
Kakarot: “Enough!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2iQIXDodA
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BJ6J6X5is
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMWq8Boqfp
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31WOhBGu9u
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcxG3BhXzH
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0h0ZhTMVO
Beet: “Sir!!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmw8J1i2i4
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XTGBW5Usg
Bulma: “Beet!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYqV2uX1X0
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFZzVtGhRx
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0UBF6UHaI
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Q61wvOhn
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0WVCPczPk
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcr0auU8cv
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPlkktUloK
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs8UbigGiE
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSABc7LD9n
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfEyEFHCx7
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzofIseUOku
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6Cvtv4Pus
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI5TYwPXW1
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eYYF2R0uj
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqxAB5c0ft
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoORsVFBU2
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeElJrXumIZ
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6gIZIhrMM
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8PT02Lf9X
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFaJC0jetG
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn7pWtLbbg
Raditz: “You have my word.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKi0lHnZdp
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QNuWKUGUy
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZIwh4WX0q
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJmoyhdKJE
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqne3rkUSCS
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7i0D30ZHN
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?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlneQW33Pq
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNRcqwedYe
Raditz chuckled.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQA0jyt0nw
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDllxPml1E
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsI6igFEdc
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnMbz2fH4h
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuFPmjj45i
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2umt9dhsa
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9kDcFld58
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97SWsJwycv
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdYhBypltK
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj8C7IupMN
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡild5sJQuIh
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyfdueqTXb
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbsYF8GrHH
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z1nrIlm7F
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOls92w9qK
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g2webqDak
Raditz took a deep breath.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ4zI3662z
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkVHVPC6gi
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDK4kPd8HP
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH6NF8EK7V
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSviMI3d46
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQwSR3aOdw
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?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrF3aNK5b3
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefQ9djFSSR
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtD8vPsmw7
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj765h6Yrij
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2vZ7bihll
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLGoFnzXez
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WKUVrhTAw
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lnW0aZEWt
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?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflzbix5TtC
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliu1C9IBnG
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO4dlAyAsy
Kakarot: “The prince?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnS6N4DWA5
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzEzHJBLlc
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaTTrIDM52
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?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWJ2DL0G4E
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u4gUwrGLY
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYlvxmcFcQ
Kakarot: “….”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSJwLsAPH1
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogYqLiXIOS
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s9n37T8Xq
Bulma hesitated to reply.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLxbUI2Vic
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCC9XZg3WI
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1ejudkNtW
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcFpU0Gb2z
Beet: “Sir!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6WD6LjRCP
He came face to face with his father.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT7btJIq38
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHR5lT0Kli
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqiCFQktq2
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfZe2qW7gV
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlpRLOMhxs
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmecjyT1HzX
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt8ml1Qkrd
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtIH14ycOf
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigjKgxy0JH
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXMe4tddYm
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX7KJQqIxB
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdW3zWvJUY
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDMX4YbesV
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNVTd5bZRQ
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.’
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM594xuiHkC
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrfwsAhITj
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YTKE4x7QZ
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmLGosLURI
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9GOnqZTlj
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxT5wdlURj
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1RInJG1wI
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ27LClTlK
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFLiS8DkNX
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AUyre4xG4
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc8GUCccq7
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88W0mgAhw8
The prince hesitated.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j7Roxo2c1
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLsaTbrCK0
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7tesmO7LU
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7oPAMpHnX
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwttxAEHZZ
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPemYhExdb
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOqXmnoobS
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2QmNBzn6b
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKdJYTTCm9
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvUJTILfqg
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zvuDbaCWs
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKmUXckW5g
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsV4782zsk
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgquKCObgjJ
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzreyRr7U7
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR39MV9t2mX
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrZlnlMrxf
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7GBKMIsbR
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5yKs081kH
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn3qJRAA7C
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWwLVcKPVY
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGZDRVaI6h
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpBbs5RzT6
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1Rv4INyCL
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?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3BKlLfZay
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydyT1s7mMv
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y8ugGuctp
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1XMHIpH4S
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AO3vHaQB1
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATOBlGIMZ5
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?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ86AubGcB8
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDkc4LcaHo
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NcS3SuXy5
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObE4f4K0BK
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxooQtI1mZ
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?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB3gDgx5RY
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS78MNPmHs
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVqXO4wMHY
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIZLxtjtS9
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Shl4gWqcw
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm82twadpRN
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtfem19QHN
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb4J4AfYqm
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuQJ7L2kZ9
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QbvrUUmIT
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?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXpYxAUh9D
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZM0KRVRF3
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtKktu5LNB
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU6DsTPdSg
Kakarot: “What was that?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2sbojL2U0
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1fFMF7eGi
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?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LYKzkkUTn
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QkLRcKGd6
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79lxwOJuIn
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuxlrM02Vv
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbvzOSbFVZ
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtODGcGar3
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtTBNMoO1W
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5nDhoXhcA
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGakuAoD3C
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4taOvGDJO
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJMfaFJ0cv
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclVtsgcRgU
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkcndZ2fgg
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Z0rG6LV5
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8wufSvevh
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8U6CtjHrX
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvSNg7LTCx
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbvSbdJJ5b
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulL1WCLWGu
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpZqbxgJpx
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.

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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuLEvmOr5h
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSznoKS3GP5
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdgOyYqFL2
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVWIrCYZVV
“Your foot is on my tail!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn4Stzevak
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69g0RAZUir
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn7Nk0WsL1
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre4I6I4AtZ
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6Dam02qy1
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmKpBK5gPt
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4xX1O77r1
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl31Sje1hrc
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpullEFaV3
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2N5OABHEs
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?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBIAj3AjoP
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K9w9HNP1h
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuwvKTNcf4
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV8neELPUB
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl3j8fv7xL
Kakarot smiled.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8Vc8rv3Af
Kakarot: “Understood!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSsffqiWZO
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4yzq4N6zB
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp34mgxfaiL
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfEXtDHpWq
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyidXcCAjhk
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHsiK3DnCf
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOblcHqCIz
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTV6LyT05m
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd8umFk4QT
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbMjk9cVvj
Vegeta chuckled.

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNnkCubJ4Y
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8Wqu2pYaN
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ68bvxpM7

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoGfF0tuwf

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghxtnRUJaM
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90JBBQTPes
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKN4Mn5vav
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUyClSS2Z2
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3EoGKutXN
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeArswzNueN
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPWWnDP9Rh
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqSWOXBcLG
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAyOGT3OjS
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI8WurUxaf
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmyu61fygx
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXv1nDy8i2
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtpExBfhCB
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4QDPsPrrp
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31R2dXjvAf
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqygf4ZPRT
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFtDSgaCv3
He took a peek at his injuries.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3QDqYoxti
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk0qbfuvTi
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaVQtvKaGU
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7hsNnH9j8
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8lUQ8KjuR

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUc34O3cLC
Kakarot: “Huh?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOcabiRIdm
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEMdMDtPB5
Raditz: “Why you!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsLjABk4Dk
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLl11hIMSu
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHosy77u9r

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHJ78emM1t

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVk4Uh9iH2

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MUovENhJr
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeMaMsOfhI
“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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23RQdRPewe
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM99P78Olm4
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?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuP3YeeWaG
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6P1iJ93tS
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahYYCr4UUj
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaLLJJz5Z4
Doctor: “I will sir.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vAYBTTXsT
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GQRmsnWWl
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBqoa61TCl
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXGfYNVeT7
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuKdDdmmpX

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGDl3peqGA
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvcFbuko1t
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEed5WA6GO
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSrEVuGh0i
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yOUaxnGsu
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSab1jcT53
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qdbquhvKw
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?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iL1McaW55
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yCo5iQRBz
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNI7gNklvU
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2L8OlGIYV
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1zuHoNXIX
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCocJpym4GK

Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6M80DVE1k
Bulma: “I'm not convinced, we've achieved peace and yet you insist on bringing the fight back to us. When does the violence end?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38XuTLelqV
Kakarot: “When we win.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I1DsuDIqI
Bulma: “And what considers us the winners? What happens when survivors of their conquests come looking for revenge?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU0gPdztlP

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VAcZyQJtS
Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XIPR3yTyO
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy0oIWFdoy

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTStaOOJ3k
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cc3a65Kv4
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ue5PPEHXi
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.

Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJmYyy2pdc
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmFgw7iB1W
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1nFp4Qd7j
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEnDJkO0P0
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjsyjjd3l7
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8CZ54V8bE
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4tN9WRx0O
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFHhq9vJDA
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8JSp0pqJG
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SM5rTWc1e
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79rnsSjxf5
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJbxOEJ3eQ
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!”

Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFrU94IPi8
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh6Zdt6gue
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiQKFerp5z
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ743Dy691YN
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7BsET8APY
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcaMFYuTws
Raditz: “I will..”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRyoZaGFR6
Raditz turned to his comrades.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx5HnVtEC8
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QHQtdvP80
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVTrVIPlhu
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHHkd7Dgpu
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj7EUiVlCf
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhsMdGI7th
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFukCR0EW3W
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4jZDreWsx
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y5YdEfgEQ
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKMUuclQhk
Beet: “Okay!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r3qYXQHyc
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm7vI3BQxT
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPKlhivYE5
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAylkPwgO0
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmUZvzFavU
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdmpi7kkCq
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUFiSY4OCA
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnpHK26Da5
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8lY3nJPRA
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8EV2J2f3L
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHmigJgNhc
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Glyipz6xb
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe31M96ugTi
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcYt5DmWtB
Beet: “O-Okay.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWg7d6VINC
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeixHQBlkvs
Kakarot: “What happened?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWruqEY0ME
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIa0FqtXys
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PQShtq4Ba
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErO7hNjdTN
Kakarot: “Fine.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOl3AdTG73
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS9eRu25NN
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4kH34gb1n
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7CtcOd32z
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY9QhdZCir
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7humnU3mR
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kgUTWCGov
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXXW4Xa2A3
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa47RgM2Hk
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf6bBxVpCF
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMx1eEHTkw
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ27PrdgToF
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRysi1PBhp8
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH2WofOaAf
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WXsMIqd1e
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIprpzFWxrQ
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ZHZGyCxR
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydIcDd4vWR
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZllUlfG5uo
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozIMVFsWVU
Raditz: “Understood.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCJZfUVFW2
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdwY7Eb9ZV
Raditz departed from the room.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyCpPg9oPa
“Haaaa”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlejG7Hvgp
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHzBGE8Rs2
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxPgeP25bm
Kakarot: “Right.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmfll0dOXc
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf65lM03rV
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvvOjg9wmc
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nYiUACPaC
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcTjjOAsxS
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDgnTToYv9
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHhikyoun5
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRpzChVwfi
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEnp4vajZL
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd6OAYHltf
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qaU5g3I7n
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXNHLFjGrS
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY10tlRzgI
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOMTP5T2Jw
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ8G9pwNZF
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNcF2oWdze
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtOfeG32hf
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzsfK0rtqG
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFcv1YyZVu
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnd8OHqKEa
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplalOYqQNj
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq52XlP3Sg
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHU7e7nlK9
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RzbnDrbJc
Kakarot turned around.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk4dTvJ86N
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rxy627FYr
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UOpEBhN2j
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?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWQYHVP74r
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz0Z8rGz4h
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf3jmguyzh
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYzl4nLh51
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmgUGwsScZ
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttCKFI3jn7
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq6KFxxlv9
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtryPdyBGk
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyZ56DjGpV
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrseGcbAmrH
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdIoiOrT4N
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYmB3mrzVu
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBUVT6VqN2
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HrdNITFti
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGA9jTCvJ2
Kakarot: “Right!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX48COoXqa
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25ovuaPsqX
Kakarot: “Yes?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSeGYY3Dnc
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FsPypNYnz
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcI9jn7LlS
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLBIRYblhG
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHUQL7LK51
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HKhkvc26Z
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkgzJ8MziJ
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS8gqXcVig
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6yFSL0TBO
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinvrdipeYW
Raditz turned to his brother.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt2gg8rQFP
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksMihx2egh
Raditz: “Right..”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00SttSa9zo
Raditz took off with his pod.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c51iElYzs
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGAbqqdrpc
“Let me take a look.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN7rmLU0rh
Beep! Beep! Beep!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUasQOXC9t
“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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPP0NKN46A
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ752S63m5q
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYND1hdxfay
He bowed in respect.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWZ35DkroG
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx998FfkmWO
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGQ80ZYLoG
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZZBtusLUw
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwX5pJizsL
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpujGRWT3SK
Raditz: “As you wish.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlUwtimfwA
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwZdsv20Fp
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgLjuwMEei
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmffhtUstYw
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDXDcRJqyY
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglHHBMgY5R
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtuqsUMS1V
Zarbon took his leave.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEfnQdos8p
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwXJ45ZAUK
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSm4ZIv1GJ
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuHQK3teTy
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqBmqGoPpQ
Raditz chuckled.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqaF86jfHQ
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW9EuQfjQz
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUYknIx2ZJ
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JEZ1lEOe8
Beep! Beep! Beep!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Y5oS2bfg
Raditz: “He's here…”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzOXKcmnE8
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLVgryl0wl
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ8YXPZtGi
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjrjYADoXR
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWnHYHgZu1
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqvuRGUjo5
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6MBQN6ilx
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZX1qPj8sM
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KW1HhgJqH
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFio9us7qte
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV3Ho1MD57
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx74VWsdUES
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbKHK0CyNI
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfmILBEbnj
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uA1gbfeov
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHHcBJ2IrV
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUobH8Cyva
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeMAdJ9Dbt
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RCkgnT55n
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzcJPW4pfV
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rJfiUfnJO
Raditz: “Damn it!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rbJqQJVzV
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK5mOVyZWb
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcYsEGIvZ7
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVXSFcJCdB
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8zI6BgWe0
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ5TSYjIcG
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujYQO5jqJB
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsxhGTVVRD
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTotVyzT7x
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbi6SmREQL
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquEW4ccN2K
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6FPIFn7G1
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yiALpPanF
Beep! Beep! Beep!
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjj4Hpfazm
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6wA4Rm2vV
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzPmEYfw6i
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBfh5opESe
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybCL3qyFVt
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIS80lWUjW
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqNifbTQXG
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.

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp5hTZJUnM
Dodoria: “Why you!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMsvmKNF4L
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1RtVURv2i
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcz6gGMIam
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.

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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEEgm6Apt8
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnce9bhmR40
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVp0a6QNrZ
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWQkivbmIv
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEpIJIqaCU
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37sS8NQBH2

Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB1YZx6zEi
Zarbon crashed his arm into Raditz. He pounded the struggling warrior, knocking blood out of him with each blow. Raditz retaliated with a kick to his face. He leaped into the air and scattered a barrage of ki blasts at his monstrous opponent. Zarbon quickly recovered from the attacks and charged forward, headbutting Raditz in his face. Raditz returned the attack with a headbutt of his own. Their fighting took a short pause.

Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvEbk1YwsA

Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rdSvLNRcn
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7RqjvdTV6
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.

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

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAJehH5U4q

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0SUTZ1nMx
His body grew as he morphed into the beast known as the Oozaru. Zarbon watched in fear as his opponent grew to a massive size. Raditz stomped on him, killing him immediately. He spotted his allies, noticing their struggle.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n4cJkCAla
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSs2Ng7OcC

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpbJ3TVmvz
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRJjUJzmLq
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGLtzZc3Za
Kakarot: “Not again!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0WyXTyqsO
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pd9XA2grX

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjJ0NNwnZH
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiM5VwYWEH
Kakarot: “Look out!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ2zQVymZu
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.

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTJuevpgDL
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ6XMjAEcQ
Kakarot: “He gave his all simply for a better chance at securing our victory. The least we could do is give nothing but our all to the very end!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MoFYJMxWQ
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mAfEqAK8N
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMOIUHcUkN
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVHHBNdBGJ
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0lofXmnEj
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhvBhdybZG

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77w59Cm9Ha
Frieza: “You again!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl1WOJP0rX
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVWEZHbRJh
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMaIX8W5Kp
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF003JnyuPq
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGvfvMvp1m
Kakarot landed a knee to Frieza's gut. He balled up his hands together and slammed them into Frieza's back. Frieza fell straight down but caught his balance before crashing against the ground.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZH4KXOwEH
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFNU1Q80BJ
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1y9pW0u56
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCOuNgWrLL
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dRORlLuJT
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUn4uA25zl
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKpcb71dxZ
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrw7GbW8Ue
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0rAQeUqH5
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sf8KxGAvq
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJs4sx37nS
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJSrY4JSbH
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW8bLVIMqp
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjgou0hywM
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vp3m9MWJY
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04hoR7uKd6
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpemWWKZ5Z
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1RG6UGCOd
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0GCdFSlBn
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxfip5MMiQ
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9velEwNhq

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy3WfhIqm3
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYu6wqn7U6
“Haaaaaa!!!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxfwL4Ob0f
The trio used the distraction to find an opening in Frieza's attack, piercing through it and hitting the tyrant head on with their combined power. The destructive force of their beam sent Frieza crashing down.

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlElQJUfXo
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYII3UtdpVX

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt7uQq4PA2
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9mtG3kLUK
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED6m18MGV3

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtnnYleBr1
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8yaVHNGKT
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWDmKu3MdX
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-”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAzfOgILNw
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpslU8F5KC
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKknH75D419
Kakarot: “It's done…”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxCWlGHFyZ
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegQJhgih3L
Vegeta ascended into the air.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq3I2d6lBu
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfmXvNuGlx
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs305lZBWV
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYBPJwz9wk
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5H4DSsyMX
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jwyCjhuTc
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLV1cJd5is
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp8aLtkxJw
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfokm54XKa
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOZecp6GSd
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tae9iAnSp
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKLD9xKbE7
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsGwc785BY
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6GdHHDOHp
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSFVoPoLqT
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr867sWoFK
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMYxyWKP3I
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxvlNu8Zvy
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp52hyQB63
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oaJGHJ0co
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2eGnSfDky
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeowFP5YNEE
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3yP1l6skv
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3wQUKvdKK
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39neFCz6hs
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG3RzN2CVq
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NIRRgaaOp
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT4wsjfVtx
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAN7JOH2FQ
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DC2Awdvh9
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgPxvvWFPx
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XtRrMgxee
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n8iqzrm4W
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtfhJ4OPAq
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7pV074qcJ
He looked at his fist in shame.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O0PilviDB
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nAJ7FGsIK
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5VcyEPbLh
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqfEEm93hU
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0pv2JCu8t
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb5ceVJIgo
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9EPUKT2gt
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTCKCQEqjg
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWNN8VCq9t
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDrgkxDLpb
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtup6DaleO
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI6Rg7rFTu
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK6TZ460cp
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3Ll8qlGJk
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJSKaHMl1D
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..”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDwaryIT6Z
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUQfa2qd1v
Kakarot: “No…”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MKhnmPcLd
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuEVdvyk6Y
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVCs0Uubfh
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0fGUGNfhk
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHajGrf4vNE
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9D68mfhTB
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gu2CyXIAW
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfasiTICva
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrF01Wzppm
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2oAn0gtjA
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8QeNda6kH
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AoP1jzlsA
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1thBTuJcx
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyeN498PcK
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYNvKFpKzf
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bASjXzrEq
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wK4dDIHec
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUxHw4dOE8
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKla9VhOet
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLuPUKYKYn
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VProF8fWO
Raditz bowed down in respect.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8Jyx2feni
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos9QKfuZd3
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct25ceNZye
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEKcVgMcST
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDOvw99wfS
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQoO3rHV1r
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8oidvx8v3
Raditz: “Right!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHN84THsg6
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoL9YBZOeO
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9FvQB5oj9
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A4rH1itlB
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIJ3ZSZsrP
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtZeWzdOGA
Tears ran down his face.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4Rf1Nokuv
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?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHkFe3diNb
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg1580qTLE
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhM9FBj6ur
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2GH2DkZXE
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqDcWWmVNe
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkH5gTDS6l
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CjaPTtvqW
Raditz smirked.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLw1FwhhYW
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiloSS4VSU
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MMVD7dhi1
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3ickV3MXZ
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFZV58NpUu
He pounded the ground.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY3kdzN4T7
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vNPedCHy7
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR8UQnRLJb
Kakarot: “To fight!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaHKpAFQMy
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLeFKHutTe
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20kJkOb8zP
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPqb04YS0W
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvPwn4O1jI
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZjWitcK6E
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpXvjXLChL
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczeBsjphW7
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhILcQx4yp
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!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1TmHpDMzt
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.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zw8EFSRRX
Vegeta: “Wait!”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47mxbrcOt2
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OliUgs39L
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF2W6HPKQ5
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTW2asaAdl
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3zIC1OsQt
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4GyyKRDZG
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”

Shenron: “As you wish."
