Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyoFktXN9u
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATMhywBGPW
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP4zQBkGdm
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbosoY6jvC7
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7YUFTA8nl
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn152DzERaz
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rciUgGt2q
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhoyDOg65p
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO7aVKiCuf
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RdGIP6hzf
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkUFfVANt5
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVFN8Yoqae
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwomgde8b7y
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OcvEzhPb9
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDkx0q6btY
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7tg46LwWL
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PNm3HaBQ5
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJmEV1wbD3
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCsrtv2MBp
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZTtut8MT7
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfJZcO9VIC
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMB8Cfdv0M
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryxAQOiixs
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbfHkouS8y
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1brQock3l
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy6kYniesW
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJZzRPUJNg
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayFr5khcEm
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDtQW3f6Q2
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fxl3rYIsC
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34dZ51qc5I
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsg02HKpOt
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrmduHb6yR
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T1rFlWdCb
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVWYCTEkj4
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLQ0vrsAUh
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y9jG2lB1r
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1YYLSozuf
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jtWzUk7DA
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0abUJ67bza
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEVZqRZVud
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPfUjsz6WY
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaBrsJXRkJ
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQbpebCwQh
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QorfMFvvM
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgwUuEfW1I
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ65u9XRGhP
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WicQFaC2A
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviMUvQhqG5
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6c6LmR3Cf
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYM0xoMXnM
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpgbWIsEbq
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5oZGdB0qF
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFWD8ajhwP
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsBWfiG7vU
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyrLl45PIw
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjCZFJVl12
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiauio3NUo
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eByHiR1dP
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4awbD9CI4
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9zb0biiDd
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2szWJHnER6
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUxy5XgSXU
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOd8P2CXZg
Beet: “Haaa!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sbO96LYWM
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDapKdghlK
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeiHg7hNFB
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFOsNFibqY
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHPfZtJ0kA
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8eiOJxysl
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd90Iaxyzs7
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-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbHKBxBi9c
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanCjxF1rFH
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hqrjU5YUE
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgA5yIIJr6
Kakarot: “Enough”!
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wXsDE7p9Q
Beet: “Huh?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt7SZ0ivae
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpMKThpwT3
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgqJmTdfqz
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWikNZ0NoBm
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j5hgDd0NN
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFOPjuEZuk
Beet: “Right!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0eB62TMVq
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPlRDXsV5h
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEbmcngh86
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2aRonLSoZ
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzItAbgRCI
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZgtstpZZe
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa1zmGtq2s
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r5uF4diId
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1huiLcOITJ
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrZ94Ytpta
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJONlBvnYvm
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaR7XBQygG
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasw1Sftnnq
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwBh6oXOTq
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs31KtgAuS

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89KprumJhD

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xY5k0Bwlq
“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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL5FamZgOm
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl4u1fWGct
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwhQocGXSB
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSh4V47KvC
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPslsQAXYnL
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcqncvlKLv
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwz0wUvsPh
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wvZXNDS3T
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPINJFcgmcq
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRRcITC0A8
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVoqBBQToG
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEJP8JIRaZ
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0c7KrzzMq
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XcthSYYzL
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M44MKnfZR
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdIHiRLVz7
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UYlJfnFsC
Bulma chuckled.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfbKznFkIs
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGEphCpaQN
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaXfTP89lT
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XYCrEhzCA
Beet: “Momm!!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpZhJmdgiX
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWuPHgB7Rg
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sMHn430I6
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRjvil633p
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u2nvHdM0i
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtualHjRWg
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzJf9ngdRj
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutG9NDIj5d
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1doJh5o1O
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIqWciNqQz
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1ZmQTYElN
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n1C3MbsPW
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHrK9BS1Bt
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hz1nTFIEq
Kakarot: “Enough!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCY2EheGqU
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMQOdOLEv0
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhMXuhbAOI
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTkOK8UrtN
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3heqKyWSC
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WhrSM4UyB
Beet: “Sir!!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiJbzOdiAQ
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo1NxxJn9z
Bulma: “Beet!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbGQPymeD3
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35h4fezAyW
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdi4SSyMW3
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOeR0ReMT8
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygIOZB9RzU
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarWqGZxdur
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdKJes54Fj
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZlaSNCz08
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCzchQ13YM
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM354bZHcl
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUbIWmNGSF
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrMVPJsZRL
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJbvc14eS1
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYoPTS3Wey
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9GXTjwvlj
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOth90v7bq
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BNrPngRoK
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M4S34c3Sv
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7MlLgNx9c
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfb1cKE936
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuULGQvGtCb
Raditz: “You have my word.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ2DWSaQ6w
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSywqhfyyaZ
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg3MwWGhli
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5sCnKRv4c
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUI3gOzNs6
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI0M7Wdkim
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?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEnlx12XBb
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5vQtNYXyj
Raditz chuckled.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiftPquufJB
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPptklH3Kc
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9lNvRHH4D
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMacZQBX7cO
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYBzbJhv6X
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOdg8HrEOL
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdA12da8tN
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrdbmYdhgp
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYCQrpGe8b
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF0XHHl1HX
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR6QWowemx
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O0s8qycT8
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09yRQtE9e9
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEDuXgTdWr
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzBkPMrx8g
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvwHH4YWZM
Raditz took a deep breath.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbmQapZsxe
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDDJNkI3xy
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47PNeztitq
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlD8XjM8aO
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudJ5KsQduM
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjhJGWvuE4
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?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkbzGiMYHq
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbhWhHth7w
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G8sQkrrak
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2aoDWi1ny
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡramQ8E1z0i
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Foj6uVnsA
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgB8jtyW8s
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwU2bfoCq7
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?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxqrtjpMkn
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAQFDELCay
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRzCRoAD8r
Kakarot: “The prince?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCkvKMgXQL
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNvD2k9GLI
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NPoQ9tBGb
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?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraGmehj4Lw
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PcmvlsRqj
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzfcxu4XKy
Kakarot: “….”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWUOnYSWJL
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs5FnoDWqZ
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9FzInj0bZ
Bulma hesitated to reply.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhC7txFrSG
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbEFNzSARb
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlVHrHlmFY
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFptHwrmIQ
Beet: “Sir!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFBG4oVx4W
He came face to face with his father.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiPX0wNRSE
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQD8Hi8JDq
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vjMTuoMTy
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m5vRlaGVi
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QIqqU392u
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs45MmbHUgP
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhOGtcxWuG
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsVFd32jV4
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUqUqHgK7Z
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDPNPoWOmN
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55iILRf6F8
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcZgv7uGTC
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdegELFFLs
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1vRqOJKVY
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.’
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzFbbBVKFY
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EwzQHMkL6
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv5bXNy46e
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt5xqwCwxS
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq0mprLbuC
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK9OYbbgU4
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEBa7QIXXw
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbpZYglsv0
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB4aDaHqDi
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AE06G0zIf
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cycV0dtlX
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2LOxJSB5L
The prince hesitated.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqN1i77gsM
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVYcPBW9M9
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpL460JnH2
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMdlioiOZA
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvf1URC4FE
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7JzmzON5V
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Swyfp6yBi
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDHK9FrCJe
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzrztTFt3F
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQL6Q0DdHd
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L2fj37wpz
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZCCwuQOKs
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFX5PcsF9B
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYR1IeKqXE
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7JYucmmKM
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhTqfrkbyH
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYCcbt0sa0
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkJMheJEkw
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGUwX2wCdM
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2fy08cNr6
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlaxBL4km3
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmUc3A9gWx
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8b6VAp1aj
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkxLMnsQV7
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?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWeBlZNQBC
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF948TkjcO
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pbJIAJ16q
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUv9HTOnaA
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y2pVVMbSN
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd7xfoAuaw
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?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky0VRXZy75
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOCgmdxHpM
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubzXVJSoGX
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PuFNp1ulP
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMJDEBOxbl
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?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d8ZAhi71y
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5rwvkv1Cn
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ILNoSsiDw
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfSUPft6Zs
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmEOS5Ct3h
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0qH22RRsk
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcvCbNnEMl
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0IxYSzXUa
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NNeAyvSVd
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBWr1MtRx0
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?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L290cefQY
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5haGbJyJVB
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPHV4iOJ10
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKzZbYwkwK
Kakarot: “What was that?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oBBF5YCsN
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi7FD5e2XE
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?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXi8U3eub0
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRmUP9ywjw
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYkfn7vjXm
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5T5NmF7ta
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn1f5bns3u
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sOkPUapFA
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VxqWwSuoH
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpUYsH41CO
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH10HiYxed
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgOcTrX3OA
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpnT0NCSg4
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajlyFQfJ1F
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCDeXzitCx
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0MXQNfVsA
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0fWUo7EeQ
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”

Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgiiMrRTgI
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4RawlLotB
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjv9RUS6Kn
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.

Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K8gF4HJaw
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ufz5MKxAD
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvbABG68II
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCp2iyjoAo
“Your foot is on my tail!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtxd2DhnpB
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQv8ruGYMV
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVYsaIUhWR
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUhzn7B3MI
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJC8pGeN2q
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9k6oU8zc4
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLiZn4h0RC
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0009PxXPhq
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10te94F8V0
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8SYmYfIF6
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?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ94PZ2Rjy1
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eHXOS5RM9
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLhY6YzCfi
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT18RfQLNII
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwJjtfc4ff
Kakarot smiled.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzmL7NsGAy
Kakarot: “Understood!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvok78ZpJK
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfhMpp69bb
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4y1QfsDmc
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynrLnGOz0h
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqloKi9bn9
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6PJAY3UDE
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEQMjxoJtP
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR0Y1J7ffp
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jkmwgbra5
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK23jjG8dL

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSjgXAdNg5
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL1ewhiRLr
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaEfzCxiUJ
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJJDXWlPCJ
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLkaexfrd1
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.

The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliPrDgAmde
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR5ipAJ21d
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4rGZqcylG
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeckgN5TKt
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNzykBkqA4
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3vh6NCDSs
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcUCgIXuso
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLukuuMEaOI
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOCwY5eiNR
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSvGxwpnpd
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEuDP4qa2c
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzYq6omrFE

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeGGvfKLYr

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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEyGrdZD1k
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.

Kakarot: “Huh?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfB07IeBiq
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK1YMwm23U
Raditz: “Why you!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhybmhmFiY
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38k01oz2pU
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bjy146ynb
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeBA1sHwKo
“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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPB2frVMPs
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZbHfZrqIT
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?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgalUsVO1E
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhFb0JV1e0
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvJ3segJ7w

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbmyL3TNpl
Doctor: “I will sir.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqtEPRPBmu
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIWdDNQnQk
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”

Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnA6TDL0V6
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoO9Fzjcmr
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP1WwfrRhE
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF9PaecgzB
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?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelWheP8UkH
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xFI4wSQN1
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Epl7BYTmx
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqhyyTPKfc
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.”

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDBQr3GJ06

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f7YGsuLKm

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21trTr1Yzz
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjczJ3B0mYZ
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xwwe87FBz
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7k67BHrFN
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm0q3YI3lg
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRmzF8y164
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.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcIm1B6zqp
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRXx2AkbyY
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiYRXYcAL2
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1rtPR7yg3
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA1x4D2Jvw
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCcrLvt4Wv
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUs2xCinHf
Raditz: “I will..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtia74acFZ
Raditz turned to his comrades.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuiFRpUCcN
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClzy2ApBzH
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRaLELMr3t
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1K5WkTPab
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaBdX296Wr
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8fXb4oKqA
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj2JEJJRQx
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgan5DyDoLm
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84r9mf2Rx3
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJZw3oJ1xf
Beet: “Okay!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzuSrx2RrX
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFLqNQ5bDl
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3whqKRY7ey
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QTN3yqgMT
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj7nhOTAyp
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oFHflJlU5
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA610VzwLJV
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDtcDFRkuK
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBbkl6a7ic
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojqa9ZfEQr
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYPPs91p2D
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFRb9pwGk8
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLkSYdAwrf
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwb34qlczJ
Beet: “O-Okay.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEO05c6JGH
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6Y8oUxD4B
Kakarot: “What happened?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0ONlkjvFZ
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigAtiGU68m
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpHQ4lmokw
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXTLxmQsaX
Kakarot: “Fine.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uR1F1hWpu
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9SPJRoNV5
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjKr4zKr2L
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1kmFIDusR
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBUBdwVcTd
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN0udSK5B5
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H7jILlRaX
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvyfWRbP2D
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnpPqEPg8l
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFOBtFUqWm
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JtshgMLBv
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxAoijGhZE
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB4nJBHsYy
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx9Ttn5jcy
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmBHo32T8w
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz0raj0O0b
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRuIRI63rJ
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI2fSemAyN
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3brOpuxM8x
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq14r3L7iW
Raditz: “Understood.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7lp9e906g
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQMEQq5dOO
Raditz departed from the room.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FRBn8Eerb
“Haaaa”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK6PHd1MYx
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyVMN3bWG0
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WaEqKAphk
Kakarot: “Right.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMpc2b1Wp1
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5kIexLAb6
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p4anP5dpW
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgnKtQcVcv
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRoEOMYsor
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vp4FyATxL
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fqtZAokZ9
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg99ZDW9GP
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFSTMWAF7w
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoNuz1JcOm
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrQDBIr12T
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2OSZEjZnl
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5F8vQqvxn
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmRKUUBefc
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpgR9fDYdn
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1KA7lEDBq
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs1JOth4v6
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNo4IGDPXJ
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC4xXJFRgc
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MWUQAOmsO
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygR8Ww4LFy
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge9k8oM4wn
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS4vmdepmN
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2APwzHDP6
Kakarot turned around.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGPiBkGEal
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq28RIV5GEK
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaso4Lv66bE
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?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnXDfiM2Sq
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3gpNZtELX
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnH4ChPVWw
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqnqrJNI8M
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmv1qwInlh
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWuCroFqmT
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcvQcFRRfU
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdyfEZFbTr
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyYxD5w1Ls
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7mRW7xtxv
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ0od1LKoG
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jiskoOOgp
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjQn1qAEoi
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1d0ZAgbo1
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGRKq4FKtU
Kakarot: “Right!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd13FE2q9MI
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3OW9KAmiM
Kakarot: “Yes?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRAPwOkRM6
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhFQ65OlP7
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfxZFJOLyP
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzCo55NJLa
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDojBTBu5X9
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s44Z9mHKQ
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZD35fRgXo
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwFZvqtOrE
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrvIBMbemG
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9niU8YQhgW
Raditz turned to his brother.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNiY5SrPEV
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh2z1HfcEI
Raditz: “Right..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aGg0copN6
Raditz took off with his pod.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyDIDZzdWy
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDhnhYdNFZ
“Let me take a look.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3owErbqqu7
Beep! Beep! Beep!
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTQLtoySt6
“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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6XzCWLApN
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNa0aYePYG
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5Ye6w2x5T
He bowed in respect.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcvM5wUHP7
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqgV80Tivt
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5JHyNlnZM
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5VTNWP5RR
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yHyRsTPEN
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNS5SdOnpz
Raditz: “As you wish.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMGB9ey2cE
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW4TgQGhd7
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndYQbhoHgS
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0e9WJgxAX
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb11AqIVxW
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZqOfJ3lM5
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8XPrRZkyg
Zarbon took his leave.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB7mdab0xX
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1x8RnNPZl
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51jkRndzID
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuXAUprq8J
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeZEy1M8I8
Raditz chuckled.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPYhTD0Jpe
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPoK7xwX8x
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SSe581rmQ
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeSV0WRWo9
Beep! Beep! Beep!
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyg5XihDcs
Raditz: “He's here…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnWPpiFYAB
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9l3Rma2pz
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM51tqo8kSt
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8rTlbv62B
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgeC7VgeId
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP5xRVnKkB
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oNuw76i0C
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kg6AHpW6H
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuckJyP4dg
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4hShU49yw
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9n1q3Hg71
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWXdsIwZU3
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVzwPDKn5a
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JHgmQOWh0
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqj4hLehEV
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBGtG5LaUK
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkzecTE4HR
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimvCRSq9Kz
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVwnCHqKNb
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbGRoNGiTY
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaPVCVe9Uj
Raditz: “Damn it!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ739WAE6POl
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuErUMijuPb
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhia5LmFyK2
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyjIJs3WX0
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY6IP0hkDN
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuy2aObI3a
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdVxEco2Qm
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rx2kLkp3P
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKYFxOOWGm
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx6PpvZVJ6
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmDt6qvfzu
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBxiiuzzAL
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAs7VVOcFE

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OUrWNndkc
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1FkDUZYWc
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ytrjH5TjI
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZR18k58Rg
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM1pTl5KLe
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5AqlDLkGU
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqbBjIbjaA
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcQYoawdkD
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MCE7LlcBH
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5o7slhdPo
Dodoria: “Why you!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wsYtSMiYC
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5DMP0CUHz
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDzZ4sCchl
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76bDbT8Mjl
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!”

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8Yvl2LRee
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp50YXHTJre
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJycdgdeNkG
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DWStgNKKk
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuSyW8GbVX
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicaXQMNksX
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZiNe9NwFx
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2qOvu8E6s
Vegeta: “Huh?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIvip8EmnQ

Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5uVWXZbL1
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFuBhZ177l
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1kSn3ZwFO
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAcjlQXU1N
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyxnXfAZDi
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQaipi4Pwd
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.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpmIXBuXG6
The tyrant’s body went through a terrifying metamorphosis. His limbs enlarged at different rates and proportions. His power level burst through the roof, the saiyans began to lose their composure as fear took over their consciousness. Frieza ended his transformation, revealing his true strength.

Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PXT5Momyn
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0ClF5NQ5q
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsSamOzK2P
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzePI7M5mq
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzheSWSlVr

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt42et5Bk9

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB70cCsapPy
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMg0zw1ENT
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttmME7ZmYf
Kakarot: “Not again!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxwGit5bzo
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTCfva7EgJ

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBridqgbNAK
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSghM9o1Is
Kakarot: “Look out!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCvsc8F9j7
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.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwQD2tIRk7
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQhqXfsxcA

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx7yV1mOU7
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7ML5BFub9
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KJjKv5ppt
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hnm6cRnf8
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQXNnA5onT
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdPOWE9xup
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBZ1cSsO10
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ttttHmZx5

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8xloICgdD
Frieza: “You again!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHruboM9ZB
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVSPK5wBWS
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglJ7RLKiKv
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.

Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc130EcRUB
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2HzQRllTR
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzybxLgvEAV
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceXm1LPbJk
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1PVmPoMMB
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Ag6CghsH
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk069wQHuC
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPKCcbXejG
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ2AubvqYx
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BCl89eBWb
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8rwgh5mEo
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqkc0wGD9R
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmKvXlZZHP
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WCcwRLTSo
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jOrdY0Xkn
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYU7Jw8SdF
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsosmnwCL1
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY6Skc1YHv
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBr6cbp9jg
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIrTROPXut
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEK80B1qvF
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpENcl0FC9
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP22D4Rp0Mx
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13aiCaLcyl
“Haaaaaa!!!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0NtOWkrQt
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.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpGi8f51HO
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcIkCXOGRu

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WLrGAzQTq
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEOToHlAIw
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMTwS6paV1

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIQTGAjYiX
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyENs17RECJ
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0vUXhZHY1

Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69YiD97HKU
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSss684Nnm
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CTxE5ap7L
Kakarot: “It's done…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T8alIluiE
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV5wMawIMX
Vegeta ascended into the air.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv8cYz8oWD
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4lRCx07GM
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXIeGW2u5w
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPFWi3cj4N
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHExIZ4cz9Z
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIAXWHRuLF
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5fWrLhHM5
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI5ViVbYYv
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHFHVchbSe
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5cdOxGPox
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpIdjBj2Na
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yfTNP05zv
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrJQE9s3JL
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcwD6WkF2F
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8Kot7ZoaQ
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wYaALIewi
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPS7Y6PdhP
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2W7NbFk0d
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MtoTmodE2
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY1NsNopng
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdKvXF5RoC
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVUZICmhZJ
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0MXcO3ZFQ
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjIEwRNPWa
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJOV2IrX2a
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJwsSuPp32
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TYg3YkD9d
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwF4KBWVZG
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjJc25zEkL
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSlkaRvdx9
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4vNWh5NKS
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv19zXDtDNP
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85nVo82ghT
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnSBbByaQB
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ymwfKfPia
He looked at his fist in shame.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwyY1NfosG
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIWbadLLym
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCDFgRSHPH
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFurue0PAn
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBOP2SODg4
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJA7pm5Afj
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU7prSC29x
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyhTpd0R2N

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHTeoXhfmN
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqttohI77E
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyiGcwut9A
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdnDMswHry
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl5gAwk7vP
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNUR2dRE2I
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvOnzhOSWp
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..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6MDrUD0qX
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQVD8GHWaJ
Kakarot: “No…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4Iw4tp9pA
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr2xhxZ21S
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUGzQGZ7Li
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmzVEL9J1M
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrO0Ngc20H
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hw5jKEKzZ
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSqJ7RrMef
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ae67TRLwB
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DdNqv5OOH
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRu4oNV2iQ
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3jeIeCVOv
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylNKUSrp0v
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutux1KZuzq
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2bAT97UEO
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JEvSiVNXC
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qNylJhzq6
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqoXH2ypwZ
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgwSbKhSb4
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKWcb4HH0D
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqVS3N7Tk1
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nPIMTI1KF
Raditz bowed down in respect.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRtFGQYpOp
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EtHxIpopZ
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OLGeTcYn2
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkYj5pGhRJ
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj5g0IEAqJ
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmSIGnJAdQ
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyAnNxpBiT
Raditz: “Right!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr8Wfe0rIW
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6Z8Pzjknq
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jbWRVEkUn
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CC0vgfxAb
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwTREDIjlR
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBkR7ilx1b
Tears ran down his face.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSQoNpAJX5
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?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdISau3Tu85
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKGQeh60tS
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5pxiqeoeQ
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ewl4aY4uP
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuayaai1cRI
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dsWroMmds
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX2GYNWzDU
Raditz smirked.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdUbtLaXMa
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawAzTRACS4
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzriKFf6E6p
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbVCLmwXyN
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJWDhcUqED
He pounded the ground.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFGtqDqS3F
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGJVQgmAgD
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1vUfOFI0T
Kakarot: “To fight!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbx8zHyrDO
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQv5sL1eIx
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs7HntqOAe
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgFyxoG2F1
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp9MMERD47
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0rytGaSwV
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVGbc6GWla
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5qFZmzhPj
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DcT242W7L
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!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qz6xLOQ0i
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez0hBTZ7me
Vegeta: “Wait!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6RSAEscfT
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtbXxGJWC4
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG5SK5UB2j
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QD6lbwDlW
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”

Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.

Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”

Shenron: “As you wish."
