Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3nSJULBEZ
Bardock: “Working under you gave me the opportunity to be the warrior I craved to be, I can admit that, but I think I speak for every saiyan when I say we're tired of being under your watch. We were born to be free and fight for our pleasure! Not for your convenience! This ends now! Frieza!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEIRR6DJDF
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKQmXvlk6r
Frieza: “No, no. He went through all the trouble of fighting off my soldiers and confronting me directly. I cannot explain why but I feel like I owe him this last duel. Perhaps then this monkey will realize his pathetic place in this universe when he draws his last breaths.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy9xlLAh9E
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQS0aBdy5p
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoBSYxT3re
The saiyan warrior launched a fist full of fury and pride. The mighty emperor redirected his punch with a palm strike to his arm. Bardock turned right back around and rushed Frieza with a combination of fierce and rapid punches and kicks. Frieza had no trouble evading and blocking each strike. A smirk was firmly printed on his face, showing the saiyan who was truly in control. Bardock jumped back and quickly shot a ki blast at the tyrant. Frieza stopped the blast with his bare hand. The explosion was a mere calculated distraction from the proud warrior. The smoke hid Bardock's location, giving him the chance to deliver a full power kick to Frieza's liver, followed by a punch, charged with ki, to his face. The blows sent Frieza back a few feet. His smirk was wiped from his face, shifting into an irritated frown.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaCp9hfc9O
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ924lPyf0er
The emperor made his move, striking Bardock's rib with his pinky finger at a blinding speed. The saiyan spit blood and lost his balance. Frieza swung his tail, slamming it into his face, knocking more blood out. He struck him a few more times before piercing his leg with a small beam he shot from his finger. Blood gushed out from the wounded warrior's leg. He yelled in agony and held his injured area. The sadistic emperor went for another shot at the saiyan's shoulder this time.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobxf1ywxlt
Frieza: “It's a shame knowing you're the last one standing from your side of this war. The prince is under my control and the remaining saiyans are nothing to worry about. The saiyan race has fallen!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrumHsiGT3
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6oZpaDUOe
Bardock: “I guess I was right to think ahead hehe. You're wrong! The saiyan race will never truly fall! You may have conquered all of our remaining warriors, but there's one more! Kakarot! Remember that name! Frieza!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7G5I5B4sj
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8W0GRKrlt
Bardock accepted his fate, but he refused to die in such an insulting manner and let out one final burst of energy from his palm. Frieza raised his finger, generating a massive ball of energy that resembled a sun.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvlys4v5HW
Frieza: “My original intentions were to wipe out all of you monkeys with this war so I could salvage this planet for my own, but perhaps it's best that I make sure no trace of your once thriving society remains.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSO2z3IcpM
He lowered his finger, tossing the sphere at Bardock's direction. The attack completely disintegrated Bardock's final stand. With no power left to fight back, the last soldier of the saiyan resistance succumbed to his inevitable fate.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdxZqYVVLN
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac5uBgCffD
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquAolIZwPE
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUdg8XxrGU
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI80ZwFqdW
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNbBxKnM9l
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzl0xy7zRE
Commander Red: “How dare you pretend you have a moral high ground! You and I both know you loved every moment out there! You live for this…Kakarot!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzPkTRJT1v
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCDt9MCTpV
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhw9KiphOg
The saiyan chopped the Commander in half with his bare hand. He crashed through the roof of the building they stood in and flew off.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8iakhKrpl
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRc5UAnNt5
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UQ6awDIug
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWwFJuAQ9H
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY1jtuzLnX
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CKGef6Wwb
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoClK9m2BL
Kakarot: “My ear piece was damaged during battle. The martial artists from before stepped in but I finally settled the score with them. No one will ever hurt us again.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCqTsanezk
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqZnprp8h5
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiVfiWclMY
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNYXKKXf10
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkMmMUDNQ9
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguEW4G6xFM
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtkDlTWXxU
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDw69jX7yt
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd7wD5h7ag
Kakarot: “I have no interest in leading these people, they can do whatever they want as far as I care, just as long as we're left unbothered. We should start by thinking about our future.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLeb8NXUwi
For months, the war between Kakarot and the earth's alliance had dragged on, many fell victim to Kakarot's might before the combined forces of the government and even the red ribbon army had fallen, finally ending the conflict. The best martial artists on the planet had their own turmoil with the saiyan but they unfortunately faced the same fate as the rest of his opposition. Despite the terrors that took place, a period of tranquility was achieved at last. A peace that would last for a few years to come.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1qsezQArH
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HSrIpM8g1
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7tKgVZD1Q
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT7z0lG0Or
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWzpucPKVg
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsPmuQsNXo
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqwo47BqKA
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnhIxqn0jp
Kakarot: “I haven't even begun to comprehend what lies beyond our planet, what goes on outside our universe was never really of my concern.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wu3ugMFnW
Bulma: “Well, I've studied quantum mechanics as much as I've studied engineering and there's theories suggesting the possibility of a multiverse. An infinite set of parallel worlds like our own but with minor or sometimes major differences.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4x35T0KWO
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKovEx3dWKj
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGdopXIdSW
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ2xUtOziX
Bulma: “That explains a lot. This isn't just any vehicle though, once I get it figured out, this baby will be able to take us across dimensions! Look, I know we will never be able to undo the damage we caused, I've accepted it was for the greater good, but with this, we could go to other worlds where we exist and prevent this disaster! We can work together and create harmony so they don't have to live with our guilt!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhGh9eCV9Z
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d6a7OSjLt
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjjkvy1Wzm
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCYLJCRq21
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9HoScqjCu
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IZSdqU5PN
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpVQnsdcOd
Bulma: “You know how that boy is, he said he was going to pick some things up from the city, but I'm almost certain he's out in the woods again.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVzhBkiF3V
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU9LBdaQqs
Beet: “Haaa!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0x5p7K3Rh
Beet kicked at the beast that stood before him, knocking one of its teeth out. The dinosaur remained determined and swung its massive tail at the child who just barely reacted in time to evade it. The dinosaur charged at him, chomping it's jaws at Beet. The boy struggled to escape every bite.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3Ni2RM5Sw
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpPVAfCNAB
Beet was whacked by the creature's tail, knocking him over. The dinosaur opened its jaw revealing its terrifying teeth. Beet closed his eyes shut and covered his face, preparing for the worst. The dinosaur bit down, but to his surprise, there was nothing there.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tQpauPICB
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NG66ssk1h
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4Pl99gzlJ
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbAz80lrCj
Kakarot: “You're focused on the wrong objective. You can strike its head as many times as you want and it still has the chance to get up again. But-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhOn1CaTKp
Kakarot snatched the dinosaur's tail and tore it off in the blink of an eye. A big smile took over his face, overcoming his usual serious demeanor. His smile quickly faded as he saw the blood that leaked from the tail.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f9NPrhwJU
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8N5iSoUlT
A memory of the bloodshed from the war that had taken place crossed through his mind. He took a deep breath for a moment. The dinosaur fled from the scene in fear. Beet darted after it. Kakarot snapped out of his trance.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtJzQMcUjA
Kakarot: “Enough”!
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rhvdc2K5V
Beet: “Huh?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI3CeouF4t
Kakarot: “I already got us a boar for dinner, there's no need to kill an opponent that can't fight anymore. It's broken beyond repair, don't carry the burden of being the one who took its life.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwVhtzIqYr
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hQWXcQmxf
Kakarot: “Everything we do is for survival. If we need to eat then we'll kill, if we need to defend ourselves then we'll kill. But that thing had nothing left to fight with. There's no reason to finish it off.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJmzlePtNx
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdqk4tjFV5
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdS8TBRHvE
Beet: “Right!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm9uyfWXEI
The family sat outside around a bonfire. The young Beet was tuckered out from his big day, he rested his head on his mother's lap, giving in to his fatigue. She caressed his soft hair and smiled. Kakarot kept his head low, pondering away at some troublesome thoughts. He caught a glimpse of Bulma staring and immediately looked away, hoping she wouldn't notice.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1DnPXJRBp
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyEzHSG1M9
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRiQfR4jQz
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHiLJl5bBA
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IaD6BsBMV
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TC9SHVLqg
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyfOCmCRFp
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH7zMPKfAo
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnLXVrxuGi
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTJZ8QOJ6o
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSagP759qFq
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFd5V4HzXm
Bulma: “Yeah, you weren't exactly a scholar per se, haha! Cramming in those study sessions must be just as new for you as it is for him.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcnkTOsv4h
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIg3TQC6vE

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWpBkQy1f9
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvd0FMPkNd
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8xXQuIkV4
“Only a fool would continue this struggle, if we surrender to their commands, at least our people will get to live another day. I'm sorry, Colonel, call off our men.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo98Aq9kNV
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1osQSdmudQ
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5qP9chee4
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShHdLcig5w
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG0dfO7Oge
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf1LZJzIxC
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjfX1CMcIy
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N8gfunnLM
King Tuffle: “I have withdrawn my forces as you requested. We'll form an alliance like you desired and lend a hand in your fight. As long as you keep your side of the deal and let us be after it's all done.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QfeSuuz6P
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTwMIMITkb
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UKraE66zG
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKAPB7dXRx
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWd7FYUCxM
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEQ3VngW0E
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR9bcFKNiX
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW988gsstU
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbICyerrDUm
Bulma chuckled.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9o6sSr6L9
Bulma: “Well, as long as we get this baby done, do as you please! You know, I'm surprised you went along with this after all.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oB6KnEZqp
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OPAt4ErCl
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0ydC9W3GZ
Beet: “Momm!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4HbFqwZ9l
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPhACopDGO
The busy mechanic rushed to her son's needs. Kakaort returned to his work but was almost immediately interrupted by a shout coming from outside.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P6I0xflAR
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIirUCckc3
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4kVD4rbAM
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2aa72rn7e
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc2MmuOWkL
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ0fn7B0Hj
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUFK1unWjL
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MToGQ3UQ8
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXkYf7JEh7
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrS8sj5BD2
Kakarot: “You're playing a risky game coming here and demanding to see me all of a sudden. I don't care what you're here for, leave my planet or I'll make you!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DMZMtP7NF
Raditz: “So, the planet does belong to you after all. That's good to hear. This will be a perfect base to rebuild the saiyan empire hehe.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa180nuvzQd
Kakarot: “Enough!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwXt7if1gZ
Kakarot flung himself at the unsuspecting saiyan. Raditz noticed at the last second but still managed to evade the frustrated warrior's attacks with ease.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql8GoRy51G
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAslR8kS1l
Kakarot threw a fierce punch which Raditz evaded at blinding speed. His movement played tricks on the saiyan's eyes, leaving behind only an after image with the real Raditz having already got a hold of Kakarot's blind spot. He smacked him away with a mighty backhand.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCvMi47suk
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9axAQbgEQ
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpvpSAVjjr
Beet: “Sir!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny9Bfdygzs
Beet rushed to his father's aid, throwing a kick at his uncle. Raditz flicked the child away with a strike from his tail. Beet crashed to the floor, hanging onto his consciousness.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QIzVsuW2z
Bulma: “Beet!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEqdgkohjs
Raditz: “The boy will be fine, don't worry about him. That look on your face, Kakarot, it's almost as though you've never tasted absolute defeat like this hehe.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGrXSof7Gt
Kakarot's breaths were heavy, his body was petrified from fear. The feeling was instantly overwhelmed by a sudden rush of adrenaline. Before he knew it, his body stood, almost on its own. He rushed his brother once more, his blows were suddenly sharper and swifter than before. Raditz found himself putting in effort to defend the assault. Raditz blocked a kick with his forearm only to have it be immediately followed up by an elbow to his face. With only seconds to react, he stopped the attack with his palm, just barely avoiding contact. His eye twitched in irritation.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfraQpPOym
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG5Oi03bmz
He drove his knee straight into Kakarot's stomach, ending his sudden burst instantly. Kakarot collapsed to the ground, his body refused to answer his demands, seemingly paralyzed. He gasped for air, struggling to speak. Raditz raised his hand, reaching towards the defeated man. Bulma yelled at him to stop as Kakarot flinched, accepting his fate. There was a sudden pause from Raditz. Kakarot opened his eyes again, only to see his older brother reaching out to lend a hand. Surprised, Kakarot used his remaining strength to force his hand up and got a grip of Raditz's hand. Raditz helped him to his feet before letting him go.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzta1jksR8d
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiIhD6kBJU
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfADNNMBnQq
Raditz: “That's right, I'm your older brother, Kakarot. It may seem a little jarring, but you're from another planet, one that has long since ceased to be. You were presumably sent here to conquer this world, although I never understood why planet 4032-877 of all places.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73YxoZpeNt
Kakarot: “I always knew I was different. The people of this world made that clear to me, but I never imagined I'd be from a completely different world.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJkSbyLydE
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDhuBcvwyN
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9x94tNfuk
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWvkYmJ4TD
Raditz: “Right, I should cut to the chase. My name is Raditz, sorry for not properly introducing myself earlier. I'm not here for some late family reunion, I'm here to recruit you, little brother.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv4EaeFUbw
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ7zO4vx9x
Raditz: “Our Race has long since been reduced to mere numbers you can count with your fingers alone. It wasn't by no natural causes however, our kind were victims of a genocide from a tyrant known as Frieza. He enslaved our people and forced us to do his bidding for decades until we finally stood up to him and waged war against him and his forces. As fate may have had it, our forces soon fell, the rebellion failed and frieza believed it to be easier to simply wipe us out for good. There were some of us however who didn't partake in the war, we were off on duty, unaware of all that went down. For years, Frieza deceived the remaining saiyans into believing a meteor had struck down our planet. We recently found out it was all a lie invented by Frieza to keep the remaining of us loyal to him. What he doesn't know is that neither of us ever took pride in serving him! But this isn't just about fighting for our freedom anymore, this is for our proud race that he dared to look down upon! Join me, brother, let us retake our honor by slaying this bastard!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9fP9Q36tb
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO3ne8yXH2
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHDzN4kcF1
Kakarot: “He took everything from you, my life is here, on earth. Besides, I've fought a war all my life, I don't want to jump into another one after we just reached a peaceful era.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzOD4OYp7Y
Raditz: “I see.. Well, then let me spend the night with you brother, just for us to connect a bit before I return to my comrades.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko7w0ctGyy
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgUtIYpZyE
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA530Qr997
Raditz: “You have my word.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C0UhdrOxk
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HsZ1VHxRL
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf2NU77y1c
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa87ilrjqpw
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWoxB4EJJL
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpmULIGeqm
Raditz: “You worry too much, child, you're a saiyan like the both of us, a bit of a runt I'll say, but a saiyan nonetheless. You'll grow to be much stronger when you're older. Doesn't that excite you?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GH3TMSg8Z
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAAoWhvLap
Raditz chuckled.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuIoFsdlBb
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg9LK8v3CC
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO21XpaTSNY
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQPJb6PstV
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGgS3HT0Lz
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ7Mvk5idk
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtSJmwDgxu
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLGMJv1SPK
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA4ZNNGYK6
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOOmVEbfcS
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIt80dytMT
Bulma: “Honey, I think I'm gonna sleep early. Don't stay up too late, okay? I still don't really trust him, it's best we get the day over with soon.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUSBkTVWTD
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvSCg81K2q
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHLZkf9qX4
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrPuS7teX4
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7sSnGm1kg
Raditz took a deep breath.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrsDS5DnO5
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8qOUjDkQ4
Kakarot did not question his sibling and partook in his request. The two left the house and walked out into the night sky. Raditz levitated high into the air and Kakarot followed. Raditz came to a sudden halt. He faced the night sky, illuminated by the countless stars, miles away.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsixjgnhq4R
Raditz: “Take a look, brother, the universe is infinite. Why would you limit yourself to such a pointless, finite world like this one? Don't lie to yourself, this mundane life doesn't suit our kind. We're warriors! Born to fight!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uY98UqvXs
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2265YuWxf
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCQ8X4swFD
Kakarot: “I've never faced much of a threat on this planet, I've never truly been pushed to my limit. Earlier, when you humiliated me in our battle, I felt something. A rush, one like no other. I was going to die and yet I felt more alive than ever. What was that?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByFJ1iPVvZ
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw8ZQHeZ9M
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklLHkDiTlC
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlULrMZpyP
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYdF88UrO9
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY7zdNW8d3
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZYOBNdaV9
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGElVRsJ7tu
Raditz: “Vaguely, I've heard about him before though. He was a powerful leader of an elite squad. Rumor has it, he was the one who led the rebellion against Frieza. Our father was a great man, Kakarot. Don't you want to take after his footsteps?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi0FxmucXP
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQB57Oj0mj
Raditz: “I leave tomorrow, I have an extra pod you can take so you can tag along. I can take you to meet the prince so you can join our alliance.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUMh4IMIV8
Kakarot: “The prince?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG54isPM3S
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKYxfDTgcQ
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj8BMjA0ij
Bulma: “I don't understand! We're finally at peace and now you want to run off into another fight that isn't even your own?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPG3kSIQxf
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAnhb6Sj66
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTRVMLlHSm
Kakarot: “….”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Ta79kkYg
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EdF7h5EAr
Kakarot: “For most of my life, I was neglected by the earthlings, I was different and there was no one to guide me through this unwavering sense of inferiority! They're like me, I want to meet them, I need to. Besides, I can't shake this feeling that this is my calling.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M4KNEHi5I
Bulma hesitated to reply.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRhCivai2U
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaTUajCgpe
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ6O49FnaD
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19NYCpOfdT
Beet: “Sir!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE96G9VW69Y
He came face to face with his father.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ9Qzlji5B
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWhcV48VJS
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVFkeLCWLq
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaIpqlM1S7
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCkLmy8wA4
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNdCKMAHNJ
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6DxnjG2PA
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eKdkk2K2W
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddUSFOoRBp
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfWSW1pamG
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQQXpVmhKo
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSUThhydee
Raditz: “Well, aside from me, the other two saiyans are Nappa and the prince, Vegeta. Unlike us, they're top level elites with the prince being the absolute most powerful.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GRPP7u80u
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZsQ7I4f7b
Raditz: “They are, especially the prince. He's the strongest saiyan in history! They're both proud warriors, like me of course. You're on your way to becoming one of us too.’
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagCPvapPXR
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0tPojC2z2
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ7DOgfoki
In the span of a few hours, the pods arrived at their destination. The Prince and his comrade awaited their arrival, preparing to greet them once they landed. The pods crashed into the designated area, revealing the two saiyans aboard them. Kakarot fought to keep his composure, but couldn't help but smile after gazing upon the mighty warriors that stood before him. He approached them, taking a knee after reaching them.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidEDfFxPbL
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTJOE8tByc
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4fhoGaDDc
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflo1bzktWs
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfvooZm2qX
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy8EnDSz6G
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoJ5YGuY2M
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFuDWJ6jDL
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ650hhs8k2e
The prince hesitated.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R7WKrMgUc
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy2inMCwBe
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngCyZuyIZL
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz1qjrr6x0
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfQsp2wvJX
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSwFrdPHWT
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBtERd51nH
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDTcTWdPjJ
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTH6irB0KQ
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtQZMULSj7
Kakarot examined his surroundings, quickly taking notice of the highly guarded area. The soldiers that surrounded them didn't appear to be saiyans, but they wore similar apparel. Aside from small animals and critters, no other signs of life were present. The vast land ahead of them was empty, only them and the soldiers occupied the space. They entered a large, elegant building with huge pieces of glass art, depicting an unknown civilization of people. They came to a halt in front of a throne with various seats. The prince took his rightful place on the throne as Nappa sat on a seat right beside, displaying a sense of authority. Kakarot and Raditz took a seat on a more mundane section, next to the Colonel in command of the Tuffle army.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuDBU6QDvI
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILWzrF7E5J
Kakarot: “Yes, he told me about Frieza and what he did to our people. I've agreed to help you crush him on behalf of the saiyan race!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXIR8mfCdj
Vegeta: “You've got spirit, but it's going to take more than that to defeat this scum. You see, aside from his troublesome power, Frieza also wields a powerful army. In order to get to Frieza, we have to get rid of that pesky army first. We've made an alliance with the Tuffle race, he who sits beside you is the commander of their military in fact. Having them on our side is a big help, but we can't be too careless, we need to recruit more allies. Until we get the remaining forces, we must lay low.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKZ4VKLX9x
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1oEHXVffE
Vegeta: “We've been eyeing a planet known as Tatsu. We hear their kind are great for combat, and legend has it, amongst them is one they call Amaterazu. If he's as strong as they say, forcing him to submit to our leadership could be just the advantage we're looking for!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz6VbRcz9N
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlb7HioP0Q
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJhMiJ4r32
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpLOjyS0IL
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn4UwxRIDg
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd0JjBOTiM
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtl8kYLONl
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrXjUULcUI
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCtpVaWYcN
Vegeta: “I'm having doubts about your little brother, you sure his mind hasn't been corrupted from being away from his people for that long?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY3J4BqyJo
Raditz: “I'll admit, he's a bit of an oddball, but you know me, Prince, I can get him on board, just trust me. Take him to planet Tatsu with us, I'll work my magic.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOhuBc19Ww
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWpZM4oscU
The pair made their way back to the room where the rest waited in silence. Vegeta took his place on his throne, continuing his speech.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VSzW3NpqN
Vegeta: “Ahem, like I said, we'll be paying the Tatsu race a visit. If luck is on our side, they'll be just what we need to turn the tide on Frieza. Until further notice, we can't make too much commotion though, if Frieza finds out we're plotting against him, it's over. Now then, prepare your pods, we're leaving at noon. You're all dismissed.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre7QtPFW2F
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNxwLd8jCR
Kakarot: “Raditz, are we really going to kill all of them if they don't comply? What good would such an act even do for us?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBgrdMpfv6
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmvfoFJtsU
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZlRJEQzri
Raditz: “Listen, if we let them live, there exists the possibility of Frieza getting to them and getting information we'd rather he didn't have. We can't take that risk. It's just another sacrifice in the name of the greater good is it not? It's not their fault we chose them, but it's not our's that Frieza enslaved us after killing our kind. In order to win some, others must lose some. That is war, for someone that has lived in one all their lives, I'm sure you can understand it.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVVEaw7pt3
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujtpi61Jr5
Raditz: “Now quit your whining, this is going to be your official, first real fight. Aren't you excited? Don't you want to feel that thrill again?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgszg3pywD
Kakarot's mood took a sudden turn. A smirk fueled by excitement lit up on his face. He clenched his fists as if the mere thought of battle pumped up his adrenaline.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYc5YM5OPs
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53OA4ivG3R
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVfQYQlEPW
Kakarot: “Please, brother, let me have another go, even if it's just for a few minutes! I want to fight! I want to be a great saiyan like you, and like Prince Vegeta.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXuxblRYzO
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkcSKA6PkN
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTl4Q8yW3Z
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wEaIPQvoS
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF8XTPwYiJ
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FnONHJ6jj
Raditz: “Hehe, what can I say? Can't help being strong! Hmm… there might be a way for you to hold your own y’know?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ9WHYTMrp
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6fEIq7nvH
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0z8vtYJKH
Raditz raised his hands just above his shoulders. His ki surged into both of his palms, forming purple shaded ki spheres. He released them, shooting forward dual ki waves. He detonated them before they made contact with their surroundings.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q46HixLbP
Kakarot: “What was that?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgfwAduyPb
Raditz: “That's my special move, I call it the Double Sunday. By focusing your energy into a single point, you can let out an attack with more power than your average strike. It took me a while to master this technique, but with practice, you should be able to come up with one of your own.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7S4wiDuAR
Kakarot: “You never cease to amaze me. Tell me, brother, if Vegeta is the prince, then where do you and Nappa fall in the hierarchy as the last of our kind?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LTjmUefja
Raditz: “Nappa has always been Vegeta's loyal goon. That bootlicking bastard serves as his right hand man, unfortunately, he has the power to back it up too. I, however, am working my way up to a similar position. The prince has been considering giving me a permanent role in the royal force.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIuirwhqJU
Kakarot: “That sounds great. I hope it all works out for you. I, on the other hand, think Imma settle down with my family for good after all of this is over.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kxrgNFVUK
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CAZhgGrMB
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfPmuprttU
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfbyi3chIn
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS32raOmLwl
Raditz: “You're thinking too much about it. Stick around for longer, in time you'll find that all you seek is here with us.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2hMBT1T8d
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCTLjkmPur
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a2CFEq3EU
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWylFfDfI0
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR1mWwcjf8
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp407hcDb9a
Vegeta: “The Colonel has set the coordinates in our pods. The Tuffles also placed some new upgrades to these sweet rides, we'll get there in no time so be ready.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOP5VOrSDn
They all nodded in approval to the prince before entering their pods. The ships took off at blinding speeds. Kakarot observed the vast, outer space in astonishment. The wonders of the countless worlds beyond his own planet never ceased to amaze him. Before long, the pods crashed into planet Tatsu. The squad left their vehicles to confront their next targets, but to their surprise, the landscape was deserted. Not even the slightest sound of a small gush of wind was audible.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPksSvE18g
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTqqCgpIdU
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk6hig6MBg
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq359XdCfVQ
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhXo6Q0hRK
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkyT5eFOPX
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bLk9zd2pE
Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQnz69D7qh
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL4MYrZBLr
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqOmqUmKnf
The eyelids of the creatures twitched. Their joints cracked and snapped out of place before restoring themselves back into their original form. They all turned to each other.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBMEztSFRf
“Your foot is on my tail!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRhaXxZ0FJ
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKH4HXDRti
The two creatures swung at each other. Their fight created a chain of events, causing more needless fights amongst each other, before long, they were all partaking in a huge brawl.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8OvnTy9Il
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS23gymS4mn
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHrmK8cJw2
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xalTI0w2K
Vegeta: “This is your chance to feel the true thrill of battle. Join us, we're about to show these fools a real rumble! Let em have it, boys!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1Wur47ufi
The mighty prince smashed into a group of the battling creatures, blowing them away with the sheer force of the impact. Nappa lifted his fingers, generating an explosion that took out another bunch. A free for all battle royale commenced. Kakarot hesitated, he watched his comrades partake in the fight, feeling a sense of guilt for their actions. Raditz approached his brother.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQShuea21yr
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW84SMFbAsQ
Kakarot: “Could Frieza even hope to interrogate these guys? What information could he even get from people as barbaric and dumb as them? We have no reason to kill them anymore.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh2IxUiMa4
Raditz: “They're lowlives that serve no purpose to us or even themselves. If we don't do it, they'll just kill each other regardless. Stop listening to those stupid ideals the earthlings instilled upon you. Your mind is telling you no, but what does your heart say?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QBMcNUov0
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3cesZgA5g
Raditz: “You're neglecting your own desires for something so meaningless. Go! Be saiyan! Show your pride! Us saiyans will conquer together, let them know that! I'll catch up with you later.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnpisjZEFp
Raditz rushed to the battlefield in hopes to get in on the fun. Kakarot observed his fellow saiyans, watching how they fought. The prince made light work of the toughest of creatures, mercilessly ending their lives with single and swift blows. A smile overtook his face with every victory. Kakarot clenched his fists, fighting his urge. The unsuspecting saiyan was caught by a sudden blow to his face. The punch sent him to the floor. He snapped into action and returned the attack, knocking his opponent into another Tatsu, stumbling them both over. They caught their balance and set their targets on Kakarot. Without hesitation, they rushed the novice saiyan simultaneously. Kakarot struggled to fend them off, taking blows left and right from both. One of the creatures punched his gut, staggering the saiyan. His arms fell loose. His blood began to pump again, faster than before. A rush of adrenaline took over his body. He used the opportunity to catch and hold the creature's arm down and countered him with a powerful headbutt. He followed it up with a ki blast that blew the creature into pieces. He dashed to the other enemy, striking the bottom of his jaw with the palm of his hand and used the opening punch a hole through his chest. He immediately set his sight on more nearby opponents as the options were seemingly endless. He jumped into a hoard of the violent species and fought every single one at once. He took multiple blows in the process but returned just as much. Guilt, regret, love, hate, anger, all sense of emotion had lost its meaning, all but one, the overwhelming sense of excitement. He took blows from different angles all at once, the damage didn't slow him down as he leapt into the air and shot a ki blast that created an explosion which blew away a chunk of the hoard. One of them jumped out from behind, preparing a devastating attack. His efforts were intercepted by Vegeta who chopped his arm off and kicked him away. Kakarot turned around, realizing the prince had just saved him from potential danger.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJHDxch4E9
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNU7WzABSr
Kakarot smiled.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9ptpHop6P
Kakarot: “Understood!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqPeE5p9GU
The two leapt back into action, taking on the hoard, side by side. They fought together in a flawless sync, their fists complimented each other's style, fighting together as though they were one. The ground trembled once more, more violently than before. The Tatsu species halted their combat and began to flee.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH8WmZCj5m
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9dZ7XIiqt
A similar looking dragon humanoid emerged from underneath. He was noticeably larger than the rest. Flames burned throughout his body. His presence alone disintegrated bystanders. Sympathy was a foreign concept to the beast as it had no trouble smashing through its own people as it approached the saiyans.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlEY5NWXeD
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i3oZZce3l
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOplOlKCYy
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6ntf6mkWC
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnqAPqUsCA
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo9wvOAmMd
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7759uEd0Q

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQdxyCUunI
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAcduhnbYl
Kakarot jumped into action, pouring down a flurry of various strikes. Modora blocked each attack, delivering a powerful backhand in return. He knocked blood out of the saiyan and shattered some of his armor. Modora grabbed the staggered warrior and smashed him to the ground. His grip remained firm as he continued to slam Kakarot against their surroundings a few more times. His scorching hot skin left its marks on the saiyan.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhg0NxHDFe
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpG8IlLJqH

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM80CMhXvY

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUyaWdI5W5
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX5Scyfj46
Modora tossed him into the air, he engulfed his fist in flames and slammed it into Kakarot. The powerful blow shot the saiyan through the sky and straight to the ground. He stood up, visibly injured. His breaths were heavy, but to everyone's surprise, his smile remained as strong as ever. He charged back into the battle with no doubts or regrets. He rushed the dragon beast once more, this time, sneaking in a precise jab to the beast's forehead. He continued the assault with a kick to his neck and ki blast to follow it up. Modora slid back a few feet. He was in disbelief with the sudden shift in power. Kakarot's body screamed in pain, but the mighty warrior could only hear the loud thumping of his heart, fueling the adrenaline that gave him life.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz6LbbxUDH
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtufNe38yNh
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iSynmbagL
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzurpg1vPY
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDuxEm4mhK
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw7h2UDlde
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aL4AwhYWF
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C0dsGOKze
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJjxnyeIrT
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEQW7jl8aH
Modora levitated towards the sky. He raised his palm into the air, where it engulfed itself within a ball of fire only slightly larger than his hand. Kakarot remained on foot. He raised his hands, aiming them at his enemy. They gradually developed a purple glow, sparks of overflowing energy emitted around the glow. He lowered his hands and clenched his fists before raising them in the same position again, letting out two purple beams of energy that circled around one another before merging into one larger beam.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft85Pym71u
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8HotFJDdH
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxb2IOlQy9
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCQQXKjIrq
The attacks crashed together, Modora's flames were put out almost instantaneously. The mighty beast suffered heavy damage from the blast and collapsed to the ground, steaming from the heat of the blast. Kakarot's eager demeanor faded. Raditz approached his brother in both shock and concern.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffvjTZEn9b
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCQjttqIUL
He took a peek at his injuries.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW3gY1uUwD
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIABziNPYN
Kakarot: “I don't know what happened back there, but it was exhilarating! I never knew this is what it meant to be a saiyan.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FyXtQNhPJ
Kakarot raised his arms in the air, he savored his victory for winning had never felt so rewarding. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhTMQAtppG

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXiMRUk1dY
Kakarot: “Huh?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUSuzthmZY
Modora ascended from the ground with no warning, landing a clean slash with his claws on Kakarot's chest. Blood gushed out as Kakarot collapsed from the off guard attack.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrSRMeEThk
Raditz: “Why you!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90MBhq1SFE
In a mere instant, the angry warrior smited the weakened beast with a single blast, leaving nothing behind. He rushed to attend to his injured sibling. Raditz held him up.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT79K2vxO9H
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqIXjgR8sE

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Zubj0OWY

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM93cUOQcKR
Raditz: ‘Right!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0ncNxVKsK

Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqzCKHKaDI
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWXFUawrZF
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvwbuahFmt
“This doesn't make sense, he could have easily taken a full power blow from that thing head on. Why did a simple attack like that nearly do him in? Hmm..I'll have to look further into this later.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNDZPBhG6f
The ship took off, heading straight back to planet Plant. Kakarot was immediately rushed into a room with medics as soon as the ship landed.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqIEDSoz5d
Doctor: “There's not much left to do here other than a few stitches and basic medication. Are you sure his injuries were as severe as you claimed?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqc938QS5U
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBFnov27WH
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoE1GtwWyy
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHozzyp1Lpv
Doctor: “I will sir.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACpmTxkwaz
Raditz left the room. Kakarot rested for about an hour before regaining full consciousness. He stretched out his arms. His joints felt relaxed and more flexible than ever. It was almost as though his injuries had never happened.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWXgHtPAdy
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufmLzUG8sJ
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE4fIREf4H
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGk2SDXMlJ

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcnAsBk4Hh
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0UnjkVIqV
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGXbbd78sJ
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv70BGRQt2
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdbpKKnqVg
Raditz: “Cool it down a little. This is going to be a long process, we can't just rush into another planet without knowing if there's anything of value.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11uv6Zo23I
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXgwvkSYIA
Raditz: “I've had that idea too, Frieza would never suspect we'd be hiding out in such a low value planet. To most, your world is useless, but to us, it has all the resources we need and more! But why the sudden change of heart?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhDTgnbGwc
Kakarot: “If I'm being honest, it's not really about the saiyan empire for me. When this is all over, I'll head back and leave this behind. But if I bring it back home with me, bring you guys home with me, the thrill won't have to end with the war against Frieza. I don't want to leave you guys, but I don't want to leave my family either.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7xBBoA6pJ
Raditz: “If all goes well then you might just get what you're asking for. I still don't understand this obsession you have with your wife and boy though.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyGHfgt5EF
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ0CNjCq9A
Raditz: “Of course not! Saiyans are born for so much more than that, we only mate to breed more warriors. I couldn't care less what happens after that.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZNa0z0WmZ
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fk9PfYDao

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ejoEYlBNN

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovBHAON4KO
Bulma: “I'm not convinced, we've achieved peace and yet you insist on bringing the fight back to us. When does the violence end?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF8BUhljmZ
Kakarot: “When we win.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBbIoRN6KI

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJJutdXCR9

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7oX7aRUjA
Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ap9iNbErY
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos9jxO455f

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5Gob9niGS
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3umK7qfwL2
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfoFWdU7CR
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.

Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFgQspLJyW
The boy struggled to contain his excitement and followed his father. Kakarot picked him up and swooped into the air, flying to meet up with the other saiyans. They flew past some damaged cities with frightened citizens running around.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XumyGih1c
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCao1GvfSOb
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6DJ3qKZqu
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGm7SxNvIT
Kakarot: “They'll be fine. Humans tend to fear what they don't understand. Our family won't cause any harm, they're here to help this torn planet. You'll understand when you're older.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qDvEC1E4p
The boy simply nodded and watched, incapable of shaking the uneasy feeling from the sight. Kakarot descended near a large space ship, surrounded by soldiers. Beet held on tightly to his father as they walked past the intimidating army. They reached the entrance to the ship.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAQLv9bLFx
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJdrCN2m2y
Kakarot: ‘My apologies, I had some other business to attend to. As you all requested, I've brought my boy. Beet, these are the last remaining saiyans. They're like you and I, you'll learn a lot from them as I have.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3FGNh3Ea7
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW1h41zsoW

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQeblYwn3y
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqa4j4pJne
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghIDuwlByX
Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQimzqh3vD
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNAvMymctq
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpLGD4TSO9
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnH6ntqzTb
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXBG8qa6qV
Raditz: “I will..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviPZ2XNr37
Raditz turned to his comrades.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO5b8nsBnz
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy82YdlxGS
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36bt0PWkeM
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgvJFNV2U2
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOg3sqIXId
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jES1PLhDm
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XF5puU7sb
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV2V5BFdvF
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeiHwYb3gQ
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6inTPDDSvk
Beet: “Okay!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGrX5tV4fa
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhTSTvOWDt
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvptvNjGfgc
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDPTqPaWsv
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyZRZ9uQrJ
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSEcPBqdvB
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkTz0Q9IJC
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ2z3LxmO4
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YCMI1jsM8
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1Eb1C4x81
Raditz’s scouter went haywire. A powerful wave of energy burst out of the young hybrid's mouth. Raditz's eyes widened before jumping out of the way at the last second. He slowly looked up, immediately noticing the damaged wall from the blast.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ881MjB6Qiv
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuStTc8FYPL
He gradually lifted himself up, still shaky from what he had just witnessed. Beet fell to his knees, his body could no longer take the punishment.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenC0vNIifO
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjI6pvqhp7
Beet: “O-Okay.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3Ite2rwQ8
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP16UR8Ajw9
Kakarot: “What happened?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDkaSVZDq8
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e9qKWMO0w
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwSA774qCQ
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq2PWP7D5f
Kakarot: “Fine.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5eqwncISc
He stared at his brother for a mere moment before taking off with his son. Raditz made his way to Vegeta's personal room inside the ship. His thoughts ate away at him.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pxt7xS5Pq
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTupeFdcQuA
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ4kYt9dWO
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI8X7CcDwZ
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMuFrNqria
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpPFeV21N1
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiym6jAuikv
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hXGkyvINU
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlBy1dTOqh
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kZVAIROrl
Vegeta: “The spot you seek is still open for anybody who proves their worth. With that being said, I have faith in you Raditz. I know better than to trust your word, but your actions speak louder, so swear your loyalty to me and I'll continue to keep you in mind as my ears and eyes.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7JLfgjTLL
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMkPf7fo3b
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoWY8jyABS
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO9vNzuMw3
Vegeta: “On the contrary, it means he has both the potential of an earthling and a saiyan combined, and that's not even considering it's the boy of a low class like Kakarot.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6tdXENqcs
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nXge8WXrw
Vegeta: “You're a sharp one, yes I did. If the rest found out they could breed warriors more powerful than myself, my role as the prince would be diminished. I'd be seen as a joke. I'll have to birth a son of my own to take my place before that. For now however, we won't have to worry about that, I've discouraged any desire to spawn new warriors. Frieza is our only priority. The only lingering issue is Kakarot's boy.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMth1RaNvV4
Raditz: “You won't have to worry about him, sir, he can't use that strength at will. It will be a while before he learns to muster up that power on his own.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBlCTHFuOQ
Vegeta: “I see, time is on our side for now, we can continue to focus on Frieza, until then, can't let the others know about the power hidden within the hybrid, I trust you'll make sure it stays that way.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIcXwmGmGo
Raditz: “Understood.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTFjkoMmwO
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI36nSsr2LG
Raditz departed from the room.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocB80dods7
“Haaaa”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuLUJt7TOH
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmCTYMWCaP
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg8D1eFrKv
Kakarot: “Right.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscGfIBKJ2f
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYQSsE2eq8
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh5E25FwIS
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGikMc7dhMY
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiofIUUh5k
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt46Pzi7j89
Time would fly as the saiyans battled their way through different civilizations, recruiting while simultaneously ending many. Their conquests would take a short pause in between.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9N2v1wiE3
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI4nAb4xIr
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmvlFiV2IZ
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SaeNzsqZd
Bulma: “The man of the house is gone for months with no warning and he's the one who gets to be upset. You stop by less and less every time, I don't even know why you still bother to come at this point since you're probably going to leave again this same night!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA2yUAIkl9
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk8XRCuCun
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJkilkLSNH
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmixIedWtd1
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl986AsUyt
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kMmT8xoHc
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGyy7oBwB2
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TbTIgJ8Yv
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy0WfW0S35
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH30Al9a6DO
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxsjw7gt7b
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8hA9h9S5j
Beet smiled and hugged his father. The sun couldn't have set sooner as Kakarot stood near the door, preparing to leave. Beet slept peacefully, unaware of his father's absence in the room.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwKm53BxPk
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9eeGoleTm
Kakarot turned around.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugfTRUqTGH
Bulma: “What happened to you? You're not the man I grew up with. Kakarot is a loving man that fought for peace. He was a man that protected and provided for his family, a loving husband and father. Whoever this us right now, I don't know you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m6TvAPGwL
Kakarot: “I was everything you needed me to be because you gave me what no one else did, I never once stopped to consider who I wanted to be.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwmfwzivoy
Bulma: “I only wanted to make you happy and to make you feel safe like you did to me on the day we met! You saved me from the red ribbon army after they tried to kidnap me for my inventions, you remember, right?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXeA7IOJqC
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmh8XJuapa
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRpf4iFVZa
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX6rZkdhN3
Bulma: “You know what's the worst part of this all? Everytime you leave, there's this look on your face, this-this thrill! It's been making me start to think that you actually like what you do out there.. But my greatest fear, is that maybe, you always have.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxR78BdM2O
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfJ2xtMHUf
He turned right back around and exited the place he once called his home, flying away into the distance. Bulma took a seat on the nearest chair and broke down into tears.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N8A81zJQ0
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBq8mQqh9i
Vegeta: “Alright boys! The time has finally arrived! We've gathered enough troops and have raised our own battle power significantly throughout the process. I can comfortably say we have a shot at destroying Frieza once and for all! Colonel!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuO9EcFim7
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIPFL3ZylX
Vegeta: “Prepare the troops and run the plans by them again. Oh, and don't try any sort of rebellion against us this late into the party. I guarantee you we'll be the least of your problems if Frieza gets a hold of you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86EoEMcCvF
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYWfSMKrrn
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB8x5I0slQ
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrVNOukFrb
Raditz: “Getting too excited for this one might cost you. Don't take Frieza so lightly. Remember the plan little brother, we'll see each other on the other side once it's all over!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFEiA3HENI
Kakarot: “Right!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZckaHEHAX
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rrhsamOGz
Kakarot: “Yes?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWCqFN8K0H
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDfbJql8pG
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYM6Qh99dh
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHh3u8NeAp
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4SIhlEozx
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfERN4MjGv
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurxu0qtmVS
Vegeta: “Raditz, head to your separate pod and take your leave at once, we'll group up in the ship along with the others once the Colonel deems them ready.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH5rALcfYg
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5qHCAh4Gw
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5DbExC9Em
Raditz turned to his brother.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrJyagqogw
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkLpfbZJAE
Raditz: “Right..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6IDACMcnp
Raditz took off with his pod.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57d1pZIKJh
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdqmL3RJnZ
“Let me take a look.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dLW0J2Cik
Beep! Beep! Beep!
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdC8Zwlwqr
“Oh, it's just one of those putrid saiyans. No need to worry, I'll go greet him myself. I just hope his hideous looks don't rub off on my beauty.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAye8T88xq6
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAf2OGoKbt
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSzEAczmHR
He bowed in respect.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj7HStv72w
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqKKxg8y6q
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8wBovMYXK
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoIo15YGt5
Raditz: “I understand, however, I must clarify that these are urgent matters for we've gathered a lot of profitable planets and slaves for him. We have tons of eager customers awaiting his approval. Please, inform the lord as soon as possible! You wouldn't want to make him upset by letting such a big opportunity slip by him.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ep6qjhrVx
Zarbon: “Hmph. I'll inform him at once. My only conditions are that you stay by my side at all times, I cannot risk you pulling anything sneaky, I know better than to trust YOUR kind.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ3UENJ4OT
Raditz: “As you wish.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztjN7zFdLk
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaoMsWDuJi
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQehc3BquTN
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRxX2m8M1Q
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe2tkV5w7k
Vegeta: “Okay, I'll run it all back at once so we're on the same page. Raditz will lure Frieza back to his base with his proposition.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytowlclzcu
Zarbon: “Take a seat over there. There's guards outside so don't even think of anything! I'll step out to let lord Frieza know about your request.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVkrbHPced
Zarbon took his leave.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLAScEjQ1U
Vegeta: “Once he's got sight of Frieza's ship entering the atmosphere, he'll launch an artificial moon into the sky. That will be our sign to make our move. With this distance, the scouters can't track us but we can't track them either, so Raditz needs to be the one to alert us.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBHMHYnbfh
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKocgDOlhUM
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGMD4x92HP
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT51Wj53SX
Raditz chuckled.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KMpj3Mxfx
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht3lYfocwd
Vegeta: “We'll use the artificial moon to transform into great apes and hit Frieza with everything we've got! A surprise attack to finish him for good! Frieza never leaves without at least one of his right hand men, if we take him out, we get one of them too. Less opposition for us.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKBEWiqbKV
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBzrW3Yq04
Beep! Beep! Beep!
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3avreAuFV5
Raditz: “He's here…”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkviaJkEZj
Vegeta: “Once we've wiped that ugly tyrant from this world, we'll send in the troops to help us destroy what's left. Frieza has too many loyal goons that would stand by him even after his demise. No one gets out of here alive!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDZSwULg9G
Raditz took his stand and shot his artificial moon into the sky, smashing through the roof in the process. The commotion alerted everyone within the site.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3wdIDyXwH
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32hqNSM8PJ
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6Q4YaATLq
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYOcCsVCuS
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X1ZahqS1u
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyh7Sxb6J9
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXPxcc3oJW
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyuE9z8s3V
The mighty trio shot forth their attack in union, obliterating Frieza's incoming ship, causing the remains to crash into the ground. They landed their ship and reverted to their base forms.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXSV2NHdm0
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqIQSba1X8
Vegeta signaled for the others to follow his lead while the soldiers they had recruited went on to finish Frieza's army of henchmen. They approached Frieza's fallen ship. Vegeta lifted the remains.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjJC3sWlVB
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAOCw1Vf7H
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEB7vtnKkt
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxNWAOK7u6
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo2GOYnoD7
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStI0MtPAwp
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00aShchuJB
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehhOkWmaB8
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlHGUwgXXn
Raditz: “Damn it!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4nlG8niGf
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhfttzYkBt
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5RijJLOSB
Raditz shot a small blast at the ground, creating a wall of blinding smoke. He lunged himself forward at Dodoria, smashing him through the building.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJXHcgTVFa
Frieza: “I can't say I'm not impressed, I never expected a simian like you to be able to plan such a calculated rebellion. It's a shame things have once again gone south for you saiyans.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpVbWv92fs
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0sL1SZWDS
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2CmVokUku
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gk5C5NNMe
Dodoria shot a blast of energy from his mouth. Raditz caught the beam and redirected it back to the sender. Dodoria was blasted away and crashed to the ground. Zarbon approached from behind, going for a surprise kick at Raditz. The saiyan warrior caught on just before the kick connected and blocked the attack. Zarbon was left wide open which Raditz took full advantage of.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ89L31CGnZ
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExmVYA9qdu
A ball of purple energy burst from Raditz's hand, crashing into Zarbon. The impact sent him flying away. He recovered as quickly as he could and reunited with Dodoria.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UC8x5s2XK
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpryX0ZcGIl
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBARO7Z0m9U
Beep! Beep! Beep!

Dodoria: “What is it?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIncaQO9gz
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK3sojh5jo
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeU7q431gf
Zarbon: “Perhaps Lord Frieza made the right move in eliminating their race, their ability to grow should not be overlooked. We have no choice! We have to fight together!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ3V5n6Ik4
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTW9NmZ9t3
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8exHT272j
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWigeLvYK52
The pair went forward with their assault. Raining down a barrage of various blows at Raditz. The saiyan warrior fended off every blow, but the overwhelming flurry left no opening for retaliation. He jumped out of their reach but they immediately tracked him with a united ki blast. He blocked the blast, taking no damage from it. He took a surprise kick from behind his head by Zarbon and suffered an immediate follow up punch by Dodoria.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyRyM8mlWG
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKFvKWKIek
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxso7loZS5

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD2bwc9jMb
Dodoria: “Why you!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNLXxQU5sO
Dodoria charged forward with Zarbon following only a few feet behind. Raditz broke a chunk from the hill and crushed it into dust with his hand. He smirked and threw the left over rubble from the rock into their eyes. The impact shattered their scouters and blinded them temporarily.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiSO1iTUuT
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv4kcTn50k
The saiyan warrior struck Dodoria with a knee to his head. He followed up his kick with a blast that completely blew off his head, killing Jim immediately. Zarbon desperately rubbed his eyes, removing the irritation.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU6eNbTEcB
Zarbon: “Damn it! It's really come to this hasn't it? Take a good look saiyan, this is the last thing you'll ever see!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ2i0AQc3R
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItzXSG4sJ5

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT9Uf8j8T0

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2kH0Z74L4
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dWRyJBBIz
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b3EnQAA1W
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjBoDIvbmg
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoTnu9Hnfd
Frieza: “I don't need any more of your little demonstration. I'm aware now that if I commit to this fight I could come out on top perhaps, but the other monkeys would likely intervene and ruin it for me. There's no purpose in entertaining this any longer.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcGK9Bj0bI
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq67FcVoMk
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xc3Oftrhc
Vegeta: “Huh?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOg68Hq2pw

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jzCLxAIJM
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX6WuH5ut7
Zarbon crashed his arm into Raditz. He pounded the struggling warrior, knocking blood out of him with each blow. Raditz retaliated with a kick to his face. He leaped into the air and scattered a barrage of ki blasts at his monstrous opponent. Zarbon quickly recovered from the attacks and charged forward, headbutting Raditz in his face. Raditz returned the attack with a headbutt of his own. Their fighting took a short pause.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQM7Ys2HK1
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bymGkmtU0
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj0HQnmIGB
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqD1wLcVks
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Va8rhY79
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZsKaGWgGi
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2Ogwmn3Qm

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGRqYih3Yc

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZIjxSYYk9
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd2FXa6cb2
The tyrant’s body went through a terrifying metamorphosis. His limbs enlarged at different rates and proportions. His power level burst through the roof, the saiyans began to lose their composure as fear took over their consciousness. Frieza ended his transformation, revealing his true strength.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YGbeoqzZk
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdcYpbxwc7
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRxBuS7u5h
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J0fRaNZRc
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF0BO4LCvn

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e10KmpVvR
Zarbon continued to torture the saiyan. His grip only tightened as Raditz grew more powerless to his might.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDdI07LjOQ
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvhxtlyJZ2
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0H95HgH02
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLnziwaZQo
His body grew as he morphed into the beast known as the Oozaru. Zarbon watched in fear as his opponent grew to a massive size. Raditz stomped on him, killing him immediately. He spotted his allies, noticing their struggle.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXkNIEwoAl
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDPj9lj3WO
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q0lWFam0t
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWdyfaB7p2
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3yXeNgtiQ
Without further hesitation, the others hit Frieza with an all out blast of their own, caught in between two powerful attacks, the mighty emperor suffered a devastating blow. The smoke cleared and Frieza collapsed to his knees.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3diWYEDOXo
Frieza: “Y-You-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwO3Y5WYCm

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbQSjmwl5u

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVOrgISz8O
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpqqqM0Vvg
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gbOiTVDNE
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN8RpUhZO1
Kakarot: “Not again!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjiyMIJmib
Frieza lifted his hand, creating an explosion around them. The force knocked them all away, providing enough distance for him to safely transform. He went through another change, taking on his true form. All of his prior injuries healed.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4oFG0yCOh
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlLk8md82h

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ4stH8j2Q
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUJ63PqZsq
Faster than any of them could track, Frieza shot a swift and small beam from his finger. Kakarot watched helplessly as the beam headed straight to Vegeta.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4G3zfG2eX
Kakarot: “Look out!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS62gXSIlI
He reached his arm out, desperately trying to get a hold of the prince and move him away. His efforts were pointless as the beam approached faster than he could close the distance. The laser hit, Nappa collapsed to the ground.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmwZc0MPPQ
Raditz: “Nappa!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgzn60r8a3

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ0v02fJ1Q
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmKmA37tRE
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsya2NRGr5H
Kakarot: “He gave his all simply for a better chance at securing our victory. The least we could do is give nothing but our all to the very end!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEglXfaYhc
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3YK41yX3w
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3rF3LsVrj
Kakarot commenced the battle by charging headfirst at the cynical tyrant. He lunged forward with a ferocious punch. Frieza dodged the attack with minimal effort. Raditz and Vegeta soon followed along, rushing Frieza with a flurry of attacks of their own. Frieza fended off the attacks with ease, demonstrating his sheer dominance. Kakarot continued his assault. The three attacked together in union. Explosions and bloodshed filled their surroundings as the soldiers from both sides continued their brutal war. Frieza raised his hand, he blew the opposing saiyans away with a wave of force. They retaliated with a ki blast shot in union. Frieza leaped into the air, evading all three at once. Kakarot rushed at him, swinging multiple fierce blows. Frieza dodged them all, returning a kick to his ribs. He spit out blood. The blow left him stunned from the pain. Frieza elbowed his cheek, sending him crashing to the ground. Kakarot shut his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth as he groaned in pain. He felt his broken body struggle to stand, and yet, against all odds, he stood. Vegeta dove straight in with a kick. Frieza caught his leg with his tail. He smirked as he watched the powerless saiyan attempt to free himself from his grasp.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTABYOJSLDR
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fqIe42nW5
Vegeta shot a ki blast to the tyrant's face. Frieza flicked the blast away with minimal effort. He delivered a heavy punch to Vegeta's liver. He spit blood and gasped for air. Frieza tossed him into a building and followed it up with an explosion set off by his eyes.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIabblUaZ1
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCHpA2TCFq
Raditz unleashed his most devastating move. Frieza stopped it and dispersed the attack with a single hand. He flicked his hand towards himself, pulling Raditz closer with telekinesis.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtssk2qujk7
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhmoS52Isd

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBskMmp1Ba
Frieza: “Such an anticlimactic end it seems.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpQipDzZBL
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWnDlpZdVp
Frieza: “You again!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1k19wwWX6
Kakarot's face dripped in blood, his gaze was tense and focused on Frieza and nothing else. His fury overtook his consciousness, there was no room in his mind for words, only action. He viciously swung at Frieza, his blows ripped through the air. Frieza blocked a punch.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9X2Hh0u9M
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEvIADi7Lx
He yanked his arm and kicked the back of his head, following the attack with a whip from his tail. Kakarot crashed into a nearby building. He burst out from the rubble, charging at Frieza yet again.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxCa1ZC12N
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLszUVXWFp
Kakarot landed a knee to Frieza's gut. He balled up his hands together and slammed them into Frieza's back. Frieza fell straight down but caught his balance before crashing against the ground.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YPzt7i5BP
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHue2Nuw8a
He lifted his arms, large chunks of rubble went flying towards the saiyan. He smashed through them with his bare fists. Frieza used the distraction to land a mean headbutt to his face. He kneed his gut and punched his jaw. Kakarot was powerless against the tyrant’s onslaught. He took every blow head on. Frieza kicked him into a nearby hill, smashing it into pieces. He flew after the airborne saiyan, juggling him through the air with multiple blows. He delivered another punch to his face, knocking more blood out. Kakarot gradually turned his head back, pushing through Frieza's fist. He grabbed his arm and twisted it. Frieza yelped before getting punched in the mouth. Kakarot grabbed him from his face and zoomed to the nearest building, slamming Frieza's head into it. Frieza kicked him away, creating some distance.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXtuVBamah
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztXrr9xgLM
Kakarot's pupils were bright gold, his power shot up as his hair grew. His might shook every nearest planet. Raditz looked up from where he laid.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI2StZe2vr
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TRRQwJ70o
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVRfFXarUS
Kakarot breached the distance between him and Frieza, landing and uppercut to his jaw. He followed it with a hook to his cheek and a knee to his chin. Frieza blasted him away. He sent forth and endless barrage of blasts, each exploded upon colliding. Kakarot began to force his way through the blasts. Fighting through the pain. He reached Frieza who immediately backed away upon seeing him appear through the attacks.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqFjzc1SOA
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps8ii96mvl
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1hMD8EUUG
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvshtTMBt3O
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQq8tZ916q
Vegeta: “N-No. The super saiyan legend, he's supposed to be a golden warrior. This is different. It's hard to believe, but the one who stands before us is no longer Kakarot. Somehow he's managed to channel the power of the Oozaru without going through the transformation. Kakarot's been overtaken by his own strength, right now, there is no friend or foe, only combat.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKtB5pBPNL
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu99bohuLm
Vegeta: “I'm not entirely sure, but I've seen it before, a saiyan gets overtaken by their own power and leaves us with no choice but to be put down. I… I don't think we can stop Kakarot's rampage.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O5PtYvXRS
The two clashed back and forth. Trading blows. With each blow Kakarot grew more powerful and terrifying. His body shut out the pain of his injuries, focusing all of its energy and adrenaline on the fight. He rushed Frieza with a punch to his gut, slamming him into a mountain, smashing it upon crashing. Frieza froze him in place in a sphere of energy and kicked it away like a ball. He repeatedly kicked it around before spiking it to the ground. Kakarot rose from the ground. His armor was shattered and his body was battered. He put his arms out and shouted. His power spiked as the planet trembled. He clenched his fists and opened his mouth. A ball of energy formed in his mouth. Frieza raised his finger.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfldSoRN5DJ
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKE5zatxze
A massive sphere of energy released from Frieza's finger. He tossed it downwards towards Kakarot. Kakarot fired a blast from his mouth. The attacks clashed, each pushed back against the other. The force of their struggle shook planets and stars. Frieza's supernova was claiming the edge, gradually forcing its way to its target. Raditz leaped into action, launching a special attack of his own to push back against the world ending wrecking ball. Vegeta soon followed.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTZv9hhp0U
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7CeMrZ5eY
The prince unleashed his ultimate attack to support his allies. The three gave their all against the tyrant’s most fearsome attack yet. The planet crumbled, cracks formed on the ground. Soldiers were crushed by rubble or consumed by the planet's scars. Frieza's body bulked up.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUuuNkBWhe
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMRoK9rx1L

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEiKwsYsu1
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM3yiEfp4E
Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukUFjvsnHy
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQqigni7FK
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzOYYe713W
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKQFljPgBT
“Haaaaaa!!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2FvxBo48c
The trio used the distraction to find an opening in Frieza's attack, piercing through it and hitting the tyrant head on with their combined power. The destructive force of their beam sent Frieza crashing down.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCVE8p9XMr
Raditz: “We actually did it…”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhDG222MpL

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls61craDLm
Raditz: “Huh?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyaJ0QuaRW
Before he could react, Raditz was struck by a mighty backhand from Kakarot.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV02rkzRKq
Kakarot: “Rrrraaaahhhh!!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGCiqDT4rH
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ0WM8C9Ay
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSqQX9tOIC
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYzRc9cXae
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQydpGCDS2V
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbU5IUpGWX
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU9XkAbADR
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4qZWPDhl1
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUALFqEPHL
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdqvI21uP5
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9Eq28GTB0
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr0qAx14Jp
Kakarot: “B-Brother… I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHfLgoa1Gw

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhaGZOibtE
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i9XqpIiko
Frieza used the last of his strength to shoot one last attack at Kakarot while his back was turned. Kakarot felt a new sensation, a 6th sense that allowed him to feel the attack heading towards him. He turned around and punched the attack away. He approached Frieza at blinding speeds. He stood in front of him for a moment, looking down at him.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW1e8jfQ0b
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”

Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mf0KrEgYC
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpJMt8cOsn
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqgUoR0Jg5
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeDqIlqp81
Kakarot: “It's done…”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtqAmUbjnF
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQCSLRMHWU
Vegeta ascended into the air.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1scvMIukWT
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE10gj3EPQP
Their military began to retreat back to the ship. Frieza's men fell to their knees, some begged for their lives, others preferred to perish than betray their lord. Everyone regrouped in the ship. The ship took off into space, leaving not too far away from the atmosphere of the planet.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJgkzCml51
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HOG0MqLOh
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0uzS8bQrs
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42US5T5e9A
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehdRAgDTkm
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLx94KoV3E
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEDYwZcyPX
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru58JL5miR
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqNqfLMT0v
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKdMvlfRik
The Colonel smirked after securing his success and retreated to another room. Vegeta on the other hand, couldn't find it in himself to crack as much as a smile. Kakarot took a seat.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Wax4h6kk
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UqV4lPP2V
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dh8Y9C78v
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi44itVu7op
Vegeta glared at Kakarot. His gaze was locked in on him for the entire ride back home. The ship landed on earth. After all the action, everyone was fatigued and mentally drained. They took the rest of the day off to rest. The next day couldn't have come any sooner. Raditz reported to the “Battle Station,” as per Vegeta's request earlier.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKLRVfBroV
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdepW2Qgxw6
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPbKNL0HV9
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EsU6CMYcA
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuotdysZqJ
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQWaIWW036
Vegeta: “With Nappa gone, his position has been left open. I'm providing you an opportunity to seal the deal for good and sit by me as a conqueror.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hhoDWFTdN
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjohVwJtvB
Vegeta: “I can read you like a book, Raditz, you're a notorious schemer. With Kakarot rising in the hierarchy, you've gained the perfect opportunity to seize the throne from me by his side and let your bloodline rule for centuries to come. But I'm telling you know, it's a plan doomed to fail.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BuKrQxmLi
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oR9GS5fPH
Vegeta: “Even now you play your cards to end up on the winning side. Kakarot isn't a leader like me, he couldn't even bare the responsibility of ruling his own planet after having conquered it. On top of his uncontrollable power, he's unstable and ultimately unfit to rule. Your empire would fall apart and eventually all that power would mean nothing. If you want to win, you stick with me.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvry3wQSQR
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY3K8nfUPE
Vegeta: “I know your real problem, Raditz. This isn't about you choosing which side benefits you most, you've simply grown soft. His earthling nature has rubbed off on you, but both you and I know that this mentality is his greatest flaw. One that will cost him dearly one day, one that will cost YOU everything. You're a saiyan warrior, you know what the right choice here is.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh4tZ9QXpG
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrgmEw2xrm
Vegeta: “He has a soft spot for you, the same way you talked that fool into joining us is the same way you’ll convince him to leave for good. I can't afford having him show me up, it would permanently bruise my reputation. I need you to get rid of him one way or another. This is your final task to secure your spot next to me.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT2SJJlXZc
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefCBxzksn7
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBGxiMzdrY
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBb7BRgwAF
Kakarot: “I've avenged our people, I should feel great and yet I feel more conflicted than ever. Everything was great and now I'm back to square one.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdSosGfqq8
He looked at his fist in shame.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBe1N6I4bT
Kakarot: “That moment, it felt so strange. Losing myself in battle is a common occurrence, but in that moment, I feared nothing, not for my life or even the life of my comrades. I almost killed my own brother. I'm lying to myself, the truth…. The truth is I loved it… but it scared me.. Bulma… Beet, they're probably still waiting for me. I haven't seen them for a while.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9GAoCzHJR
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXJRlXsBzT
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeejXZVk5Q0
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv0IK6uZ12
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ255VNN8o
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVZRetD78w
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMkEWx74sw
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8myGhRaHb
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMfljVAVLU
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkylAZhUM4e
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhSefxKtdY
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklUxtmeUzg
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm68AerXZVB
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzYnlqhd3t
Raditz: “One of Frieza's goons, Frieza had many connections… I guess they didn't waste time in tracking us. They damaged my scouter too, I couldn't get a hold of you sooner..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68d7exseqb
Kakarot rushed inside, disregarding his brother. He tossed aside the rubble that he once called his home. After some digging, he found Bulma and Beet, laying still on the ground, stained from their own blood.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4S7Q1cHvk
Kakarot: “No…”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUU9Md6Vnn
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE5W55YGhv
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOBKgVKEh9
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBGfKUF6F0
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvpNwXNb3H
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vd41x8F03
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkNRkBrLge
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPVI94NMGT
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7gphwkxTX
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSyMrnoH9i
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oSj3lrHNq
Kakarot sensed an incoming attack but was too late to react. Raditz shot a blast through Kakarot's back from behind, piercing through his liver. Blood dripped from Kakarot's wound and mouth. He laid on the ground, struggling to move or speak.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrUjS1cpi8
Raditz: “I really wish it didn't have to come to this, brother, but the prince is right, being around you made me soft, I had to let go of you if I truly wanted to succeed.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvSbxyaP8E
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9gWhmgOd6
Raditz: “Back then when we destroyed the Tatsus, I learned something. Our power levels drop in moments of vulnerability, even the weakest of warriors can fatally wound the mightiest in such a scenario. To think your biggest weakness would be your heart in the end haha! Let my words sink in while you draw your last breaths.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TWYjrjDOJ
Raditz flew away, leaving his brother to die. Kakarot helplessly looked at his deceased family, unable to speak or move properly. The rain left him colder than his body was already getting. He groaned in pain for a while before his groans gradually died out and his eyes fell shut.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVCMQMnrUa
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN3DVUu3oj
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjizBHYhbZ
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw7mQ2bd23
Vegeta: “That's what I like to hear! I'm a man of my word, from here on out, you're my right hand man.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JLEGz3l80
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbPwnEnJOO
Raditz bowed down in respect.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xw2VdcrVp
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyhOOTYYlg
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQlaRl54z1
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMo6IkIwTU
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzG9CjcTIh
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp9elH8F0w
Vegeta: “Well, looks like we have a mess to clean up. In his condition, he won't last very long. Assist me, Raditz, let's make sure he stays down this time!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkHmAZuK0c
Raditz: “Right!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BrV61byXh
Kakarot: “I-I don't understand! What happened t-to the saiyan pride! We were friends working towards the same goal! What about N-Nappa!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPFuHaxaBv
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoWzJnFsQP
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eNecKnMrj
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAVY8wZupN
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodc8Arvsfi
Tears ran down his face.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylm7gCeoE3
Kakarot: “I gave up everything to be a part of you all! B-But you're just like everyone else.. power, control, that's all that really matters to you huh? Saiyan pride is nothing but a load of bullshit! It was never about Frieza or the saiyans was it?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB8z6enwFk
Vegeta: “Of course not! The strong survive and the weak die. Those not willing to do anything to remain at the top and nothing less, are mere weaklings simply waiting to die!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKxmyP3xSu
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvznHu6DSN
He shot a blast at his fellow saiyans. They evaded his attack and rushed to attack him. Vegeta and Raditz attacked from left and right, overwhelming Kakarot with various combinations. He fended off the attacks but had no room to counter. Raditz kicked his injured liver, staggering Kakarot. Vegeta used the opening to land a straight right to his face. The saiyans kicked him away in union. Kakarot crashed through a wall from the building. They immediately continued their assault, following him outside, raining ki blasts on him like the rain that poured from the clouds. Kakarot struggled to free himself from the pressure, taking the blasts head on. He got a sudden burst of power and used it to hit Vegeta with an energy blast that knocked him away.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAloPSYUAP
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4dyZNAZyJ
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH5mXKtVDR
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnUWExPeJa
Raditz smirked.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNroM94l0w
Raditz: “I w-wont lie to you.. I really did care about yo-u.. Br-other. B-But that love made me weak. The w-weak don't survive.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAHll0uSnW
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8tzTdH4Vw
Vegeta came in with a kick that knocked Kakarot off of Raditz. Kakarot got on his knees and rested his hands on the floor. Tears ran down his face. He laughed hysterically while simultaneously sobbing in a disturbing fashion.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdNLfBrtM3
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilBR4UEHvw
He pounded the ground.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhapGNp6vQ
Kakarot: “I should thank you, brother, you've opened my eyes! Both of you have! I spent too much time caring about meaningless, worthless things. I'm Kakarot, the greatest warrior that ever was and ever will be! I was only born for one thing and one thing only!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDzRGdNQoz
His hair grew in length and his pupils turned golden. His eyes developed a red, deep outline. He stood up, his demeanor was more relaxed from before and he had no trouble standing.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtijUBZFj3M
Kakarot: “To fight!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVnizF3VhM
He dashed at them, striking them both at the same time. He grabbed Vegeta from his face and slammed him into the ground. He then turned around and elbowed Raditz in his eye, followed by a knee to his nose. Raditz held his nose in pain as it leaked blood. Kakarot punched a hole through Raditz's gut. He spit blood, holding onto his brother's arm.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKZCJM7NOn
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iKWdkAAvO
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuFqQs1vOy
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk8UTDSdAA
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvovvK07MZ
The prince launched a fierce attack. Kakarot deflected it with his bare hands. He rushed to Vegeta, ramming into him with a headbutt. He kicked him away and shot a blast to follow up. Vegeta came crashing down, struggling to stand. Kakarot dropped his knee into his spine.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp0uS45Rhh
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxQwQyixGI
Kakarot grabbed him from his hair and slammed his face on the ground repeatedly. The pain in his wounds diminished as his strength grew. He got off the prince and turned him around to face him.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cHzbfo3TL
Vegeta: “You don't… want to do this, Kakarot.. I didn't want to tell you… but we've discovered these magical orbs known as the dragon balls… I have one in my possession.. The plan was to use them to make me immortal, but we can restore your family instead, you won't be able to do this without me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3bNVYZJTZ
Kakarot: “You still think this is about my family? Or even your betrayal? I've spent my entire life, devoting myself to other people. I spent my childhood wanting to be accepted and a portion of my early adulthood fighting a war to live a peaceful life with a woman. I dedicated the rest to a family and eventually to you guys. I thought this was all for me, but it was always for everyone but ME. But now, this isn't about the saiyans, this isn't about my family, or even about your betrayal, this is about me! There's nothing left to distract me from my real destiny and I've never felt more satisfied! So go to hell, Vegeta.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSHhpNOsZi
Vegeta: “Wait!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco8H1ylvn6
Kakarot finished Vegeta with a blast, leaving his corpse to rot. He looked up at the sky, showering in the rain. He smiled brighter than he ever had. The universe's greatest warrior had been born.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl7loD8CaH
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN5BhpjEDV
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnpdl4hgEg
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiAkiiEAxV
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iSSGtjCj2
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCYPQDUYJT
Shenron: “As you wish."
