Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKiI58Rd044
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAksavyUFqyL
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKZqFiLKXV8
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANASpPklkN9yB
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxQfT7yJlTZ
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8Mat9X8xan
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAo2OGNjvAV2
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHZqMXH4Z2P
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAG7zowrNMRL
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYSLmbSZUM5
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA02qQB3x9Qv
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANATJNO2a6SgQ
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAAk1sLQaf1S
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANASeuZHUxJip
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAuO8KpEOatA
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA00d22RN3PW
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAl9VU7ibxzI
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgMP28mRpMz
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA40sBB84439
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdg7oPEHrpW
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAd14dQv0f6H
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnYv6ZM57J1
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnaLIkL9Yl4
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAab6oPyPESu
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqPmryYzu6v
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOVT8ERfiM0
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAhtlLIhlyKY
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAa24JheCvcJ
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvdGC0oyCR6
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlBDT1guThc
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANANhzbF9K30d
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJO3GsfNwiV
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzAvYVgjQIc
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2uyCzhVtrS
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5ntkBngYKY
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAG6KzUzFLSQ
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANApDPDhOQ8F3
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAO5xrLeleSn
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAD0LRo0bV57
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAA9kEjOoPDx
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANARASzD0SzyQ
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmBcChdLHrq
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnRiGShD7zO
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANArPZpnXhMo3
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
411Please respect copyright.PENANACaGvPNs6w5
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAg5Feo1IWPq
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2bKHWQ5Kzl
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAurCIxwL9fD
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2MziOBESJN
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEA5ljjPo4I
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5XbDRmKIXF
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANARPG6siHFU4
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmPerEVDjnN
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAoqaW9plaeC
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAcDzObeyh8T
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7OLQkYZFrH
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWWgF9LZOlZ
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqnLRbLoD9Z
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUkoEdYn7iU
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXoUL25JyVX
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ1U35pXe9
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAI9Cr2bwE8S
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAAWWLJnA99Y
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAz8Wzjcg2Y0
Beet: “Haaa!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1ivxFdUvwn
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANASZo1zd0oa2
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8tvux0v53n
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0UoCl6Jyeh
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5kx2RAD86a
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAd035I2Cuy1
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA405AhVaYYS
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-”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYMkQUWmcHJ
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdA53qqyXsE
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzGuj8qpbYN
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAN223KEFbcm
Kakarot: “Enough”!
411Please respect copyright.PENANAumRu0l6Nra
Beet: “Huh?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYRvEfWAZsP
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIWBMWLU6zQ
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANASXEgnsroJm
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAh2NQtmSrVA
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5VNBwObu1t
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAM378p2HUDs
Beet: “Right!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA67dGS3aEjL
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvzl39rJX4l
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAM1685C1auW
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA79Z4qpHnRw
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2aYYDTuy5x
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzNx5OIYi6H
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAtGJUr1aNhK
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHinr0ortMm
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIEmpqvO0ot
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0yLrJLuY8q
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAL7XZeqVgW2
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxQGNtacz86
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFYAZEUfVQ9
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANArLnegMdQv4
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfbfFz46Lcv
Bulma: “I love you.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANACbO0wQV5X7
Kakarot: “I love you too.”

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3JsezpAqGP
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYxtLjZokZ8
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmkJnuyloCe
“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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAjNR7XRQbAj
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvt53pl4vpK
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfGRXxpiiS8
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFYAFVCd8S8
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
411Please respect copyright.PENANArxkMOXU31y
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAaq4gCe8SRR
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
411Please respect copyright.PENANARqzeyvE2vv
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAw2m1XdtXWh
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANASyg7zvEVko
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmXyeJoeNCq
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAf0AJI7pGpb
Beep! Beep! Beep!
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlfwyPlHidW
“It works just how the rumors said they would. With this technology, tracking frieza's movements will be a breeze.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAePoUUDXtFs
“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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlZBl1fHLZa
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWAJd3SUFGw
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsAEPrUOs2C
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXY7wFRqmt7
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAD6kQlg0Wbf
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZLFpt67ydl
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANASEqw0TJ0w4
Bulma chuckled.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAd4RQlWAHki
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfrG3kxKkVL
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXzUXVW6X52
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnZdgJTgNSF
Beet: “Momm!!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7e4B3H8eo
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAru9FYVuEGX
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ2zVwLuJ8
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANARQKyyjV2qt
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZltofQns3L
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANALw9pVjCYKk
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAokpGxD6h0a
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5tbypY55b2
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAMr5hzxfBxV
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAt8Do6CVG9u
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAE085DSjYY5
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANASX4fd0sV5a
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAT3opfD8jgW
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYNxKmTAY9p
Kakarot: “Enough!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAMaynybyPiN
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmRjavsIhvk
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAF9XAgmYUYO
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdGOmTdCwW3
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQRivsHZyiV
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOITIFux67h
Beet: “Sir!!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmc9r5HcIFO
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHbARfE9xH3
Bulma: “Beet!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxV8D9wFfx3
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA84o3jmSJC1
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAeLztfZbWw1
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAAdgOw7Yjaa
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAehHDGbAd14
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZCmqpkjmoQ
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAyjZpB2S8PG
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmHv0zEf6Aa
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGPfKSjVABp
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANATbetZObUsP
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3Msvpks8eu
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3f6iYiz7NS
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAg7k0xBeIsH
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3xHYP3NUJZ
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmBka2Ofcmr
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUd9xToNxL6
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAC0GBkAarWm
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAoi4qzHtUxI
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWKhtBIoOn4
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANASHnIoCp0vR
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
411Please respect copyright.PENANArCJlOwezMc
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4REuEKLauN
Raditz: “You have my word.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxNTaGbEH9m
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2HHkGxyuP6
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKOIz0LQ2vi
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
411Please respect copyright.PENANANlH8S1P1BW
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWcKyrOfZYp
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqaeVZRpJSK
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOmzdA5huoZ
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQaae4WYYTb
Raditz chuckled.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAN9IX9JO1dM
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAyXfxqSoY8i
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2KZ1mjF3z0
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANArDYw8EWJzo
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANALqkwyTIGmS
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbwSl3ficsd
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0GIrPaNnvC
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA9h4dMXXLFy
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA75ic9b7WXx
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANABZfKfIZIH1
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3KQMjGb2kL
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFZUH9gObSZ
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsFDrhOHchO
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4TCkjDsz1Y
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPwwlMEvHWp
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANApUt17Rrn8v
Raditz took a deep breath.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfljYIRjEy5
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA51eaqjEPhI
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXrIhKVC28A
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANArsNSpgwvKC
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
411Please respect copyright.PENANApkBJc778vp
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFcAeHEsJuS
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxsoQGRGnEu
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAh0esfKJn4p
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAl6Lj2Nv4lV
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJnDui0hZdd
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzMp75mYA0V
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKpzjnSOXKP
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAkwviLNdGTp
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGOkwnNgVA0
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvPVmdJ25xP
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAe5liFolLdY
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAE1UrlKhJ06
Kakarot: “The prince?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4eF0wlQeIA
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANArqJy90GBne
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIP42U11toc
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAuBsSqT7k9t
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXxZCQRsdIy
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAc4Z1yMDLm5
Kakarot: “….”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFEkwCFJHrc
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUuSs3Jb8lq
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3d1CM2DY7u
Bulma hesitated to reply.
411Please respect copyright.PENANARgMsZPu3WA
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANALF5tsWnd7y
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANARKOXKolMNu
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAStg3mIUzZd
Beet: “Sir!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANApewh3H3Xeh
He came face to face with his father.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8trPwPtaKZ
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXYnXT57jqM
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfZgVL43BAD
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgfDn24InBz
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfHdyPejLGe
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA90PoeNcOkA
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZz7Kwd6qUK
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXWcTPtX1VB
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANABGuzQOGd28
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAAV9TNLeLKD
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKIwGfCl7Kk
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKVAxWGmOm2
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7QlvBB6meE
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxhmurxkAdC
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.’
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5jk0qpZACc
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVG0esiuukl
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANALe9aTcY2M5
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2jShKRXZFz
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9VFdvglY2
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOsu5AfetYX
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAD5NnNCJJWk
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfPgtYW0QJP
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFH9cnTOhZm
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANApmygCuofRH
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAn8QePvaePt
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA9pmgVwvdLI
The prince hesitated.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAf4oQ061U0d
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8UtMuCbqmv
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXCr0FDAEzY
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPEpKe3kjxs
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlxiRPyDtIQ
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAG2h8Wl9BCj
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUazIoWpulc
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
411Please respect copyright.PENANAMDnT3DtBc3
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzeXRy5nYpE
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAyRh4kacdqs
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZFSbJaVHM
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6NOtsaBObu
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5UTNgmpZ5k
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEAMmciljjw
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAd5JKD0OHBs
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgE2C3VfGko
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfkB6oxCMJs
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAz3Rpg57Te9
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAMPKLEND7rs
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGNHpXrnKPv
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJRWnYHDTcG
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYz7qgr9aia
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
411Please respect copyright.PENANATNzLE0g6h6
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHZl4QSivuK
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAtlLlOAT6k8
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANABdJWAdZAwB
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFyTXpf9ptL
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAMHmA4vUJj2
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgqoCvMxdrC
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIpUKOes5WR
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzKPfPPypk8
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZ29ydNlDBZ
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANADxuaC0wr86
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAiqi1Sz5Ve8
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANANlgb3QYoph
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmhMHQKlBLw
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAuEe0cGtob2
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6JFdiUQ6GE
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsRGPwMkwUk
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFyLt2YmzAY
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANANVpT7MDqeL
411Please respect copyright.PENANAkViET5POPL
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAMI9qXO8D91
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVD13I2wXae
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUEDOsxTGxJ
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAa3pcdo3RWA
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANATNtH5S8qTV
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4dvNxVIXpx
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIxxWZ2WGDt
Kakarot: “What was that?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAj06rppsN6t
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUXt43ime1t
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGqJ4V82m9j
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVFSsaLrd9h
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA80nX7nW0Vu
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIGkFyXM4AR
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANACFt2eqg6jZ
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAO2HN1Ejgop
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANALPWY2qdxoq
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAy7VKF3dZyH
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANASk6q4s0FSt
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKWGy21kP3u
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAolabJxBoR0
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1oMDL5vE5E
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
411Please respect copyright.PENANArpJT0OgQKr
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANALCwJEE3lQT
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxkGMm8m1g7
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAyOWcCC5FEO
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwVCwhMPa12
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANARUNmT1ng5x
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgvvqvpjrEZ
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVeKDCTBd5n
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAeLHafSJhm2
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEO4IQ1ZdB4
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmYTQzASVa3
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6jdS6nVZVc
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2z16pLIbWp
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxgD61xF9Is
“Your foot is on my tail!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZy81bfqX3T
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0L6FjbzAWk
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAU83bjrVuxH
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdYVaGNyMRH
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZs9rxIqaIh
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0nF95DQ05u
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANALZtO1hZhuv
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6TnNsn75oE
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAD8GBPSJiIR
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANArELx9TrlSD
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOZz2mmaCYX
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
411Please respect copyright.PENANApDZeKvZSlm
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdUvwuky4Vw
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6NgUxUjG4e
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANADRQFK36sEc
Kakarot smiled.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxuuFB1Hd5Z
Kakarot: “Understood!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXhsi1S8Q10
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAe17prBfOpy
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANASftbouoJna
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWVibbec412
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfrQIDl04Qh
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANARrQHZIqSZe
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANASs8exP2alv
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAztA8YZO945
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAjQQRBvSdff
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAG9S1EkpmhW
Vegeta chuckled.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAj5DABLR1e0
Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXcf29mxo1T
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7yyuc1hur4
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbN9fhmbKru
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnTPR1bsWJV
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAko173dPV1X
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXxSeePdDdp
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxRfPcLCpE1
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0qLf32fdGi
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZiGOS5sqZn
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnS1bpcKEdV
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1VAlrDiNH9
Raditz: “What the hell? His power level is growing!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAg7zMl1tDCD
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAjPsavF9xJ8
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHWZEd29GTY
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAI0qIvZuJTT
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAhboDvAziRX
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXPjKVxePYj
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKj4MZVEwQh
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHpod1cJZSe
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2cjQXmrhpR
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUvUKCDFiei
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJcOp5JNvjN
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA469D28FYed
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVrpedx9uqX
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANADA1NoBGmml
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWoi31T2cdX
He took a peek at his injuries.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqXpDSJQkJb
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAcbjMz48HAl
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJcTKIK357f
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVBkHjTGACa
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7B1v7jkkRo
Vegeta: “I think you've made us all proud today, boy.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAhb6DdLmkpQ
Kakarot accepted his superior's compliment with a smile.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYoYm69PYVZ
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlQf487k1rY
Raditz: “Kakarot! Look out!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzx3070NifL
Kakarot: “Huh?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPORZncGMdE
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPI1rhNdgul
Raditz: “Why you!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA20apAjEWOL
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAz8ViQ9177m
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANApmT4FMag3F
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.
411Please respect copyright.PENANARGgYlaKp5Q
Kakarot: “What… What h-happened?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANADpfT4YPTxo
Vegeta: “Save your breath, boy. Get him to the ship, if we make it back in time, he'll be able to make a full recovery.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAB9iNhpy7BZ
Raditz: ‘Right!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWNaUfJDJyb
Raditz carefully lifted his brother and took him aboard.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAc9ilHuasVi
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJJo8x9jrFV
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnrnPQrZP33
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOLSBzwRKU9
“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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsTiWaqitvR
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQoLwaVhSEp
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgvQORd4xfo
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4pTLgogZz9
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHKgkXHGqff
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWuQXsd4zMO
Doctor: “I will sir.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvvjWsnlb5R
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVg7tclxMIt
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGDO7TYeKvE
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA444wODPpFk
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQqLngaXuuc
Kakarot: “I see. I don't feel anything though.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAf69JxNRJUk
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7tltgZBAXV
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXMsKExwy2w
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0PQ3JOXVP5
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbnLYqTZmeL
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIGrirCcDGK
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwgtJgFP900
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAV2x1f0hmBV
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA10tpUBc0ll
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAL8G5zmktSz
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAkx8rtxrUu9
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXD4LL7LFss
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPVSSa3z7DF
Raditz: “Yeah, you sure do.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxlgTMOUFJN
The brothers shared a laugh together.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAyex275J9nV
Beet: “Sir!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAufSseNj7zt
The boy eagerly rushed to his father and greeted him with a firm handshake. Kakarot smiled and patted his head.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAebVLwRT4Lu
Bulma: “You came back sooner than I expected.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbpduH0h4zZ
Kakarot: “I couldn't stay away for too long, so after some consideration, my brother and I convinced the others to migrate to earth. That way we don't have to be apart throughout the process.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAhjyMubOj3x
Bulma: “Wait, what? You brought them here? Are you crazy?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1poZbO3fD5
Kakarot: “They're great people, I promise! I trust them with my life.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAuqipzLF3ww
Bulma: “This isn't just about you anymore! I want to be able to trust them with mine and Beet's lives too!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGuEn1yzjHU
Bulma looked over at her son and gently patted his shoulder.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFm64RN2gxe
Bulma: “Go play outside okay? Let me and your father talk.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPHtaENoodB
Beet: “Yes mom!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANARmvxhnX7c0
The little boy made his way out, trying not to acknowledge the tension in the room.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAE8UF8u0F7A
Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXjGSj33AdR
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsdozPQLFP4
Kakarot: “When we win.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA780qd3KFMV
Bulma: “And what considers us the winners? What happens when survivors of their conquests come looking for revenge?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANApBtmI926FZ
Kakarot: “I’ll stop them.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAi7CVXPH6z4
Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPnRjkg0c8g
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANApitiGOTXwP
Bulma: “It is when that desire puts us all at risk!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANApR9hWvd7zP
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAf8UNxrjzrG
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlfXR7XGmfG
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0qGHhlERYb
Kakarot: “Beet!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANATFkymOwmgI
Beet: “Yes, sir?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0vLUopvZRP
Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXI8H0hv485
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAORrJV1a5UT
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAw4omJfGjXK
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANADvXMhNbKe5
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAix8HdzLsUM
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxS3R0J48yK
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPkhVE8SmEr
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPwaoM0l1u0
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAheEJuL31VY
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANALMMlhvnr32
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvb8mQxkyQp
Beet: “I'm Beet! I've heard a lot about you guys, you're all so awesome in person!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlEbitHqFpp
Nappa: “I like this little one!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAekl7csUxT1
Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAkFfeVub3AI
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKroyvRsuTi
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlCpWsRdlDS
Vegeta looked down at the cheerful boy.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAeqAVQY5jmO
Vegeta: “Raditz, I'll give you the honor to test the boy's strength yourself.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2VQIWKpUG7
Raditz: “I already got a feel of his power in an earlier encounter.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3AiQMOO0D9
Vegeta: “I don't care, do it again.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2KspUFxRcK
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdx6EHynG5J
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAT6RGO0YLZl
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKUlLp2lf8H
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVFjyVqpiwE
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVTP1M9TZ6k
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANABUlX82yaIs

411Please respect copyright.PENANANDWsAjLNIz
Raditz: “I will..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqI7yD7NBQg
Raditz turned to his comrades.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdor4urfPDf
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKAFQdmeXyy
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQcZYgKe7zj
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmOArbL3NnH
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAL5zgoldQ4m
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA34X1RhtY5B
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAn6XhwseSs6
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2G5JAlXm14
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlpK7TIVdfo
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAhYSUA37YKc
Beet: “Okay!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQlpQXnXkbD
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAtd7cRNz8Ca
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKsceEil349
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGATReGVVbP
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOTWfc7W75D
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA78P0rlevzn
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUN0VEnqF3U
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQwLVBDZBgj
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxyObUgb6EM
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
411Please respect copyright.PENANAawgtVS33Ue
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZgg1Xy5ejA
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgdRjB80ddY
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAE9WsP0p3p6
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAP00GDkE3hb
Beet: “O-Okay.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEslpFr4GMX
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAkZLYHC4k1g
Kakarot: “What happened?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAT1GqzYViT2
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbFTDIAzW0J
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAiCDsluw6U7
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvkAG7PKSlZ
Kakarot: “Fine.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOp3i8K2wZr
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0GOZF90dKu
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAj9LSAj75Dv
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAs5nYUL5ZWo
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKv3YGmLaM3
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPyKLpDo4k2
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZtAeHoYuJx
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0tnDumSWpf
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnHL0BqXM57
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZilhR4cdR6
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA45pxtcOayP
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANApw0OlXldnK
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsEhd2iFk5m
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAO4Pnmoz2Vt
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAhV1b3GCZz5
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVggdVkMO0Z
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAj3C48aC6AV
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEuW2PBxi38
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAB0MgIZbJBR
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANANjFTQtaKjJ
Raditz: “Understood.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnALmxLI7oq
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvYZwnxRhgd
Raditz departed from the room.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8UJQqBBaAE
“Haaaa”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKux0EpmHuO
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAapjawQX08G
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAt7DEqVXURR
Kakarot: “Right.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHw8WIPcI5C
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHHFZtNg9oJ
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAhb6TniJlH4
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZAfcvnrCRj
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAuF7N9H3IKU
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8yGCplg9dr
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1FJydl2YV
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0iW3w96xjQ
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANALux6rda9nI
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbMF6V0LI8g
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANApKgxWX7O9P
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6A5QzJQwCP
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFjt2XbTAmF
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAtiD5VgbU4t
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzpO2xGOEgj
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAemaF1KGvFp
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqV1bqHAPJv
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzUWzbhUoHW
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAk2YofxKY0j
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAjscez3uYHG
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEtCxiU30Wp
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7jWrPW2ytP
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEup6F0k3mX
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgJetl7RDRz
Kakarot turned around.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAeKVbIFesCz
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfHi8ZPqbMv
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdx2pttj7YA
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANArgyrRa3sAX
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1LpVRRUjgy
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANARwFZ4wu8AQ
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwCGkpGOXwq
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAhwRyH2a3sx
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0JuUYa0FFj
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAP0At7q3iFt
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJN3WjVxvhh
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxwbw5nHIIl
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlV2k9OSrS2
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYhKtXcdisC
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAO1IQ4KYGNl
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOCj0mzznLp
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAeRSNSvqvG7
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGnZuWEuhos
Kakarot: “Right!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJXj3cC9otk
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAhrU1vZ0VD9
Kakarot: “Yes?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANADAyWd9YLAz
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPpBeijFfJi
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwxPNxOTLkF
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAp6G32I6vaV
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANADuBByCRbXX
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOODJKR0xqo
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXR2tK20d0x
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAx8UDcTzpCN
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAz67FiZsNjQ
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfywcvobCLD
Raditz turned to his brother.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAAOhiLIaJpJ
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANATMbknfRyQx
Raditz: “Right..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbrZdAelJEr
Raditz took off with his pod.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1fSvWYGirs
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA16L1VxForb
“Let me take a look.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwT2d2VRqWC
Beep! Beep! Beep!
411Please respect copyright.PENANAiUaVDL73Xc
“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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsTM7gYfqZT
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
411Please respect copyright.PENANACqXDo4KhJ6
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGYKrZz0VAR
He bowed in respect.
411Please respect copyright.PENANArtLSAxpS7I
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAtfdSauMmMu
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5GPrIQdXEc
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAANEgZ91EzG
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVUgXxbygpb
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAO9lDzeR2ja
Raditz: “As you wish.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9HXVoVQml
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQYvL5E8iCD
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0MuIvaTwmk
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAi9AdZHntJk
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHWgQRR98zd
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAabOvdF3QKZ
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnHiDjseiKR
Zarbon took his leave.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAeCgh6f8lom
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANANHuAGSh4T6
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsf5q3LTRXC
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOeBhtvqwFi
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA11cfQPaD81
Raditz chuckled.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAp3CMAeW2c0
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvvHJ9ULN8E
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbro2mlWI0U
411Please respect copyright.PENANAS7yvn3iV18
Beep! Beep! Beep!
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGhz9E1VZJY
Raditz: “He's here…”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPFX4I3WHBg
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAp19oUv8Apc
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAemqsttp0W4
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANArFOCRJanap
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGb8QbWUKu6
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAh0sh4u1SWw
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXAIvCH0Spm
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZiVcAOTpMm
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAeRKSdaUIob
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmOc7VZJLW6
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAMP7NfkXxXi
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAk5KIrN4CjY
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2YROs9Dk0h
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANArEMtv1Vi9s
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
411Please respect copyright.PENANADvRjaKQJbl
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAoqNgQAErbC
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANATGpsQ0jtRG
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1FB7qYj3N6
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAC3pnog7tqu
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvt3IKumZXT
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAk7QWKv31rr
Raditz: “Damn it!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWamTMCcsO7
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgzdpZmI4XB
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAeMnoZ1wkN3
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANApjbpd5KIdP
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAntx2hNs360
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZlmg4XYCeD
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEcvxVgm71t
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAetyZCbBq9b
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAkdlOGs6wG2
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ulg8rsD4N
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAvXzdWjpm3J
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFMNhR2iAL7
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbs44UTF041
Beep! Beep! Beep!
411Please respect copyright.PENANApeu7Ws0wkE
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAuSnv6vosxb
Dodoria: “What is it?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3Pz02UIixU
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANARQFL1rGU9d
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbkwFmNnbqa
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZSSrSvN6hx
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4B9v2swWW4
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAMKjzUlU09w
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAeGeLHfD0qV
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYBZzMVlCdK
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEcrjj73Cth
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4c5SNmOpwA
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAiveWgTc9rn
Raditz: “Keep talking you tub of lard, you'll be eating those words soon! Hehe.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsY6FTRjXKm
Dodoria: “Why you!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1fV2hurdOS
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3dEeWOENmx
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6mwJkCMb6R
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANACSntcvMEaf
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYnNxJhXRgD
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdLQeQocHOE
Zarbon: “Die!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAeTRwrpJdFz
Vegeta: “Both of you, stand back. Frieza is mine to kill.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6kcLxmXARr
Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAx8dph3TlNV
Vegeta: “Don't worry about me. I'm fairly confident I can take him now.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAj3KXQgrUDx
Kakarot: “We're counting on you.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgANC4CvllE
Vegeta nodded before slowly making his way towards Frieza.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlC0kC74Ri1
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANANWro30hT3n
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4824eM3eVo
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.

Frieza: “Haaa!!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0kn5mNgzkJ
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
411Please respect copyright.PENANARk0IrPdO2l
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANARFIGyWNUhX
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAe1aCzrsoUv
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7czQDxtb4Y
Vegeta: “Huh?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7SpzSCR2Vc
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANARQjopzdSKM
Nappa: “I'm not sure! He's bluffing! There's no way he has another form!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAA3GblkWz79
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAM9PhAjGynQ
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6Lg4B1eHDb
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAs5tl2K0Ire
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAV6mjdpmosS
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2qtmkg2ihO
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7liGR3aspX
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFguZUoFOd3
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAU8BMVUVeSG
Zarbon darted past Raditz, catching him from behind. He squeezed him tight, gradually crushing his bones.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsy7Dzoi8WG
Raditz: “Gyyaaaahh!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOXfLVqPFOd
He yelled in pain, powerless to Zarbon's grip.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdk4usP6RvI
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ740ZAvmV
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqMHfImoOgg
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbhiOYS7tlO
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
411Please respect copyright.PENANACh18AcdtXl
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXSMvtKccuo
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIJGL1cOvJt
Vegeta: “You don't understand, fool, there's nothing we can do anymore..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7Iw7Gl0x2N
Kakarot: “Nonsense! We have to find a way!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAExa0kxULce
Zarbon continued to torture the saiyan. His grip only tightened as Raditz grew more powerless to his might.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3rDEi1Vrxv
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnhHOJKEH88
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
411Please respect copyright.PENANASM696CLLdS
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmqhVS9y1b9
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7djoF53M4x
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAey34bUnUbV
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1rthEyosHS
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA133u0C2CBT
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHtWgzAlz3a
Without further hesitation, the others hit Frieza with an all out blast of their own, caught in between two powerful attacks, the mighty emperor suffered a devastating blow. The smoke cleared and Frieza collapsed to his knees.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAegsjevpMIY
Frieza: “Y-You-”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxNaawUrIQH
Vegeta: “Haha! The mighty Frieza has fallen to his feet at the hands of the saiyan race!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAjbbxrhYYNt
Nappa: “Poor bastard can barely even stand!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKeCZe3Ogfk
Vegeta: “Give it up, Frieza!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAd1B9qnBNq9
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0SNDV4Qo8H
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5KYhf6Aggq
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAiRssCRGh5P
Kakarot: “Not again!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2iOKYFNl4Z
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKVUbINtTPR
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYerUDYZwDT
Frieza lifted his finger, destroying the artificial moon created by Raditz.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYCBwZNEuiD
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUqBQlR5Kre
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA69CB5oYcpW
Kakarot: “Look out!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVKhvh2JJuE
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANANvKNubf2pL
Raditz: “Nappa!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANApVn9vTULd9
Vegeta: “Nappa!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdTbyv6CcCm
Nappa held on to what was left of his life, using his last ounces of strength to deliver his final words.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbQIO33cSez
Nappa: “D-Don't let this… go in vain, Vegeta… Destroy Frieza!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmDd6SVi3sA
Vegeta: “Why would you do that?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6WsxJPt5DW
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAk0mxL2jSUI
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1OmiogyGwu
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAd0Ys97GY9e
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVx1er452Rk
Kakarot: “On the contrary! We're more determined to kill you than ever!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4WRreRGqYi
Frieza: “I don't recognize this one, but he sure has quite the loud mouth on him.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgOsXWQosRw
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAj1I9mVDUkx
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAteAS8rwUVo
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAe68RdgK7g5
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAe4gX7gZ8pT
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEq07wWNalg
Raditz unleashed his most devastating move. Frieza stopped it and dispersed the attack with a single hand. He flicked his hand towards himself, pulling Raditz closer with telekinesis.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAILfllyHgIP
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYtq3Rzzd0N
Frieza kicked his jaw, knocking him into a building.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzKSe3oQa3U
Frieza: “Such an anticlimactic end it seems.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwpJDRf91db
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIps126cKbD
Frieza: “You again!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHrHCGHbMex
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAtX5UDNRX6n
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKLb1WOUlzL
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANACKjQ8Srwp7
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4QlGVTKlGm
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUuyTGIZC6E
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANANz8oxaGHAn
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAANkQIdMhMN
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAMFJ95c4IB6
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXYYagfJUQ6
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5dH1fFSB3I
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAcwo4lMGIM2
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7x6j0AKBkS
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxUXtyZ0GfG
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8PsUwzcX88
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfQHQTTX9PJ
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
411Please respect copyright.PENANADO17hpa2it
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0ArHp4Io9n
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPpmi5UGVh4
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANACYzLSNhPiA
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAhcKzIPeCZE
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAtYSVA9X1Sh
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWe37Eo03gF
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWPoKuWX1CM
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAo03VSVxBGY
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANASVW04PhsNj
Raditz: “D-Damn! We're losing the struggle!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgzMxGqjR6H
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQDvTARLzpZ
Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
411Please respect copyright.PENANApCTjmvDKy5
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXkZ7kalzZq
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWw21WOGdtS
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAoKvpMJ6CtB
“Haaaaaa!!!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwFvzITcVvp
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqd8uHtS0Kn
Raditz: “We actually did it…”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqkZNqbUsUm
Vegeta: “Raditz! Look out!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAg8n0FfkXlA
Raditz: “Huh?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8spi4T1jgf
Before he could react, Raditz was struck by a mighty backhand from Kakarot.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGUZk2yZ3VG
Kakarot: “Rrrraaaahhhh!!!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAG0HP4D7qFc
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOvsBID7rB0
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
411Please respect copyright.PENANADr0u0To84L
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3hEIXLTXlq
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAhlA9u3Fwws
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmD3LU2HZAo
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAn7vTvHr6VU
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAieUueZllZA
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXZD5D9LcKZ
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGkJ3E7Wd7a
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0lz6pNtXve
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAn049vo5rql
Kakarot: “B-Brother… I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAezBQLntAXo
Raditz: “Oh shut up… I'm fine.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwXVID8zOT5
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANATceHwqrbys
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwEfMFK80GD
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAMgpMTq0z4l
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAasm0YN0wL9
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
411Please respect copyright.PENANArAK4gyAy95
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAn4vkWVPUZp
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
411Please respect copyright.PENANATIFqnPJKsi
Kakarot: “It's done…”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnIdJGppY5L
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdx1Ftj2hCb
Vegeta ascended into the air.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAiFMQClA2Iq
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAweF1e4tsrE
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfsfo52xoYF
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2j1o5BCdG
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKTwYuSQmDB
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAaVrWMdgtBv
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdlaoRA8EE4
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQhay2Ad22A
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0c9D4mUsn
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQiNBQuRcn8
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAidFGs5LcCv
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOShUxxKvQC
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ49RfApqh
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAi9d8aIDmIu
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHQxzZt7PSv
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANALjbpGdWpD4
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPhRyxBoBpg
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxNrh7hLGrP
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAG1jiMifpRH
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAA5CN6YJGia
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJf5Bs505KO
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJGF8cPjgZ5
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAuuEmkfglsq
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVRpZBK32aM
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAagHqmHUl0R
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAjV5DEMl6Z6
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKjHfNQJJ3A
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAoIhm8SNyqr
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8YHsaFFa6v
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANApdTCgBezxF
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbco0h6jRiv
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnj9lOkJni7
411Please respect copyright.PENANATfExnKlU7E
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAeeV22INYnS
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4LTrwSnyJA
He looked at his fist in shame.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnvoNCAEFeC
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOcYajsV4f4
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVOnLvTYMlE
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6U8moBjJ0V
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAE3UuZbUy6y
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzCepG9ubdi
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYbBcjLG82n
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGkWx1288z4
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAauDXwpACQF
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYIjUsY32Ix
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAogZWbO3thd
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdxqtzkl9nC
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAnwBm6Y3Ket
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAcK5G4stCHR
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAsBOIauXUF1
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..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8MRIUjopO
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqzeEPpJzIH
Kakarot: “No…”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGeAHSqzAI3
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYObvYBTTTi
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
411Please respect copyright.PENANApJHuDweTDO
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdmo3OapbUa
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAK6yy7PqBFo
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAkPjMnzJeZy
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ6YCCwxYn
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7aqxYGz7yw
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAH3CR2roJEP
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4FIuywm6h9
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAXK14B1l8TD
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHWLrnqYHZU
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANATMo0dFFfIX
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHUtQ5c5Fc5
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxeteZzmDX3
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmRAQdHVCez
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANASDWKG0DMgS
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAtwwxGPn6QI
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAg2CazQvlA5
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAChd5ujzYDk
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAai0rjKViMi
Raditz bowed down in respect.
411Please respect copyright.PENANABce1bHS62Q
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAef8iq7sT1A
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmzqqgk2iLS
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7XWlS2b0I4
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAi0Sp6BnM3G
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQ89XX4RKXh
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANALL0KtUS2pD
Raditz: “Right!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAuTsADappF5
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAbUSPdiBzoj
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUmcl25PeYy
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3TOMvpIqzy
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAk4huDl5qKE
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYv3nhBajw7
Tears ran down his face.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPgxLs5I33f
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?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3gx2MAcIXA
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdMzZ7BDQwX
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAemoWkHDksU
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4Giva1WU0Z
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxzER9BJCIk
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAg96q1ajx3T
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfp6twv574d
Raditz smirked.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxggUOkHusT
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqEFK1acr9r
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7J1cIAXVX4
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANALlncbkd14w
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWpqpbV4w4T
He pounded the ground.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZNfVSIxfDS
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAVbJdaPcQxS
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1vD4kZ6yW6
Kakarot: “To fight!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANABKR5aMS2kP
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPjDX0SOEOC
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIpWiWfgE1t
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEsNmoKSs5W
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1UmqdObr3d
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlZjvi0HKT4
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPX1Yg8w4Go
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA9daMkec90p
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA17e3rKUMKW
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAD4w2OtrID6
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.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3SBlo2ci7L
Vegeta: “Wait!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAhpEQk8IRHC
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAq4sbmI4ZYm
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAm0s6i8LeCu
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKKRYVXGnKX
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwwcP8DJlmH
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAn0cgUoln9E
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!”
411Please respect copyright.PENANAim80mVd8xe
Shenron: “As you wish."
