Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt97QDRAY6D
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Crg5K7swY
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTQ5lkWCnH
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN3jbUWl1E
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqmkkY9bye
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vRDomcAAD
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NwQJLHsQH
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSMUN27Gt7
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS8hb736qS
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRLqz9d26W
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIIaPKsegL
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsZDCHgHox
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pjXQOWJke
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHq0y51YcE
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIxwKNxQBd
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmVnwfE0YX
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgNt9PmD2v
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DOob9HD4h
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kquJ1Drrf
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeWOKpliHj
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYfD15ohUs
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdDxVEdPlL
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsPBkw8ebh
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntKzGsFlUh
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadEeRS8c8d
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN5ul7dQHD
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNMjGHzcEg
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Go6Gu6U5B
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNv9aiorra
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkKpb3xpgI
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYfKDKHu5I
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ03vg6QfZ
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0owTqCfgB
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWQWY0MQ2R
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV4FrC0eep
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHALCYGRhl
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3ARvWzxXb
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq2AYxKKZe
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhcF4AcWB6
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmauM61BhKU
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Mh7SjO8o
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8AZrm5KAQ
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f490ooRtt
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUjjN8H3VE
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYpbJMmUL4
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfUUpZ8FYR
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggreWynVC8
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhaYkgNsD3
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD0Au5rBHR
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAklSD4l1Ns
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzDpZ6GK1T
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrEQD1DiAC
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlg3QtYxbD
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcArp222sO
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW9UMlRVd8
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTsXmHcVCI
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0SaLM4Q1E
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPRCkH73h1
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoe37VLjJo
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM83Bveq0n9
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CFoNrb4GU
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiBNMTbw2A
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNbvg5AXfH
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhATpRVYlVA
Beet: “Haaa!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53gRMhhIHr
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBx3me020p
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yxIGojYOz
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gLLMjw5ps
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0cLhqFm9r
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPTMpTgZh6
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6p5P012bF
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-”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRHaPo4Mal
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6LLivwYK3
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx0AZNlk82
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVRRF4ghSy
Kakarot: “Enough”!
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KrKdxILO7
Beet: “Huh?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJMi8dpZyY
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23V91SLYO9
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt3AUwnSaQ
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCHUVAAFua
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUm85b5Hw7
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjXCpJHUT9
Beet: “Right!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tANGZYuwE
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxe0Kp1v7v
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD74Xrplci
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0FkQjLmEL
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDMnYDJN0L
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp0ddc8wBE
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR0292NWfm
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUeAA9jFxk
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHPSWiVX4g
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxhlsU4p2B
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIQNdW5BlA
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd6YMbXnxP
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOQ6JlYC4f
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGlG33aOjB
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTv9mtwo4p

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmp0p60Xj2
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbkwDpootn

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rvdsZKJ9J
“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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY5I2iNoU5
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZbzErZI5k
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbi5ilaGL6
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5uA8gfbzC
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.

“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rTTeDNDaK

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOsvCukM7D
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtxUiXYFfE
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNz3PlqMXZ
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtGIDEAV6k
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRAyO4OMur
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5ujUZjRtF
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPicb2Xfj9V
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbcvoNBSNd
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oOWNOCkcR
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GQk7gxL20
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWglhGKdXYT
Bulma chuckled.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1AUtUuJOi
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWras9dYlG
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTVSy0XNgJ
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bHgPJzrtF
Beet: “Momm!!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMPGFzAMO5
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvABfUsx66Y
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrTwubZv9D
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJnKWx0mIw
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNcyf1NE31
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwe5E9ffgw
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUe7BjXTXI
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9W7oEoqUM
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfnUIRtKNQ
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHkCzCQ7JW
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTn1PCSt9N
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19Xou60T10
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jEwScll1w
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf889pjOMEe
Kakarot: “Enough!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5mgqjMf9l
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5lIrNoom8
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zaOV3W03u
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsFb7UjHr9
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC71gdqqcKp
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQjKW6MZ6g
Beet: “Sir!!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMSvJp7zqZ
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZyT9wzp2b
Bulma: “Beet!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDBKdq7qJ3
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51z2D66xZy
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGBHgZMkD1
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ySczLatDR
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gRhBTJPCb
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NSidoPtj0
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcTMDWtdtx
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8nrJnXaOp
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQjhQSCu95
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxK9DvjCQM
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNoFJMMoLv
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbgLlMAo7b
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSzzAND3Va
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEqANfOkss
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeJWBaiRti
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxs2SdQPQM
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni31vlEvFT
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSYbqFv03D
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4YaPieLCq
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy55S9beGmJ
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGBOxkt1l8
Raditz: “You have my word.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDXcYq0lMv
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZrq0KhpPk
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc9nifzVca
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil7HsJmVA1
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkriMLaGeZi
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5RmZWFyi2
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?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzW7BpCQpP
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtBPyKpZZH
Raditz chuckled.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gQ31UxBp7
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTUX6JdM4t
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJHiyltjw8
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsWvTTll8Z
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zgFLYhk1c
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlecYzFryLp
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX1xGoeUDJ
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMrLZ3lI4e
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXipbV1fhQ
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrD4jHMJrm
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra520assOW
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsDRAfV0ft
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQx7edai3y
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4tzLttExY
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbTL0bD7sU
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCyIETSTIU
Raditz took a deep breath.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfiIUFcEoi
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEakUmAP7P
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4ZKYGOEjq
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFqUlbXDl7
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykRYwtdflj
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLgmc7eom5
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?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ep0hYsIzQ
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw59Z4d5YdY
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTWVxSFDCB
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ4xXC5fak
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDMjlFMNBY
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4zuwNx4qE
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzkDi3yish
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrNtcHDoeY
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?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0xE4zSF8T
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CrG4Ezliw
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlru9GkLzC7
Kakarot: “The prince?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrKtCNFV7y
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaObExYZrY
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh9EzilZo1
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?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI69JPdQvtC
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGv80SOgv7
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHtSUX21Pj
Kakarot: “….”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOABuKmSsCt
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlavk6uEauc
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVeNmPT63f
Bulma hesitated to reply.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4SldzQTPD
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvdE6RndV1
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn69lHK9gHo
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaMnsV8fFD
Beet: “Sir!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWxh9aPE2M
He came face to face with his father.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmhI2riKuE
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJCz6NrpOY
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWgNHABVh9
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbO3jUBOze
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvorsjPjJ1K
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0AkSamYin
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaXt989GMh
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjPD8dV1P6
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFArPq6QCf
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9CwMnZN0I
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NRMYLDARH
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HzhApVElL
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LczbIaruh
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHOAqdCoaJ
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.’
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJenEFhTNCo
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AsFMR8wUD
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiolP76Bim
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SHrQpJeT8
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO7HTRICkO
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IGBSAH6SI
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu5pji70rU
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLjDHfI2IB
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLur6keGVES
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3T9izEpHe
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXJuZFE01W
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9zVpY8H7O
The prince hesitated.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMEfOP1SGZ
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PaYjy8pbp
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrwYmbhG79
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kxMH79a1r
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ58FIOFWM2
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2vYwAU0yK
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3sMCzIEmf
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeoCbf3mDm
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAQCbiBRjB
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFwJD12D3q
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bSr2cEpAb
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYo5hMUyF9
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zi7vbkH9d
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNIf0Yk4zB
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJbpP0MCAT
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYc3sHTq5S
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyrlWqZSFE
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnVpjXLLFJ
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcGFAJmpvQ
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUq9S2uZ5O
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThtb72e1ox
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1785vfxMVc
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnrbAIgG5n
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaqYVJXLVd
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?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIs8JaqkNo
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBybprOEDgI
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ67vgkhtL
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T9tikLrtB
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6smQovCAwa
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz93OcfbsL
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?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dTEHKHb8c
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ex61Kpxj
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyUug5zxHP
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ9SYsxT8N
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYWOvc7hH4
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?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb05LKBzSDa
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxwQyKO8Ub
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yifHkLvSC
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSMu2qG4Tj
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISaFdMGaoI
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ah5VatuSK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1OIHxSxFN
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyczGIsQ0Qh
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmiaDqr8Hd
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp6Tg4mB18
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?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTvWr1wTnV
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58imxAkdhx
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu0JkIkdBg
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SuDeZpEAW
Kakarot: “What was that?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKboE9laXH3
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq9S8LkP5b
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?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQv3y2Y1ht
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQyFWn5Ffm
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpmYcTwTEP
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24njg2Sqj4
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoZY5TaA9l
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz5TjriPsl
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS4pb5u5Gi
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ454T5R5KfI
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hTrrZwwth
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIUG2bdyjP
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSqDQ9ZnEM
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLbVWPhW9R
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORueSSqUfw
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFCEs2OA8L
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.

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡderWSbNGh9
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjbJDc8h4R
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeJdHRr4Pi
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3vTtpGubU
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbEMaqXQXn
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclZDOTVxaH
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ549KITjipe
“Your foot is on my tail!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaBinuVGLZ
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJHsMnTOZO
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXk55y970n
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S7PAtUMek
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q4ZwJcQsJ
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs3MhZBXox
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkCJbncuHs
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4kA5I6HY8
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv6SrqHFnX
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXiFSkWo3L
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?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ833KD9hB2
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WV1df4xmJ
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrhrHZ7YkZ
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.

Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJwHTWdJIk
Kakarot smiled.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX57V3don9H
Kakarot: “Understood!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3swWqbY0E
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw77imiWkF
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoYOUoHyc8
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevLvNFaHpZ
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDVkQ60qEY
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH8zOBfgUK
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dgS0ynv6M
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfbsajN3oG
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2p6rvk8od
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmksOQcICjw

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSe5QC1HJ0
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT8yek3Ovg
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gbnsyCnJ0
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnzxyHgHko
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V6YJTQCf6
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO82qEnLvDM
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs5QJ43MER
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXNf2YAbOy
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzODy576h9
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LjnQXHrIC
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVnHORFqOs
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvVFBiie4Z
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1LoJn0csY
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtm2Q1F2xo

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGiTLdznlu

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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp0xG4WbWX
Kakarot raised his arms in the air, he savored his victory for winning had never felt so rewarding. He shouted at the top of his lungs.

Kakarot: “Huh?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWAJe6udZs
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs29DCHkF84
Raditz: “Why you!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgstkJkqkvN
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmOglep9fP
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELpzEu841x
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN8GerqbMt
“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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfDQBPd3Gs
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml9euY7zGy
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?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItOwClEFdj
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai13DeSsgp
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq6XpbXJQg

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH6tJkk4Ke
Doctor: “I will sir.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyPfiq9P9n
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.

Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”

Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”

Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6B9dxjhO7
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXShvnkbRUn
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdVqNQxohN
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?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv76d5KHOz
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3Xism5MV7
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0exgCIDvDp
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1UEkOLgv0

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F25I9CPPn

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69ahr0W8OP

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzuIK0FoU3
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupqkSfaZGh
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zmqZudSUA
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04EdvjDoKD
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskUPie3GNG
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzVm99CSt1
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.

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ip53dKA4Z

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx4BWo5Hc4
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqX6OsFpkx
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta: “I don't care, do it again.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6WBtCJ6Q9
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvekoEuvoHj
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRlIo4juRf
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxNjxHgiBn
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNduj6rW4zu
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPunXJato6
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJwChEVC5V
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUvzWlZWWH
Raditz: “I will..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVciiwpyDT
Raditz turned to his comrades.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvrNjecHdx
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLhcSCDtdQ
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Rimijl7N
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqU2so1nCd
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASVF6DSUZz
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNYIoYRLMR
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvzR61z52x
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3qSYe5BGB
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeRTf887dw
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb1yQyyidw
Beet: “Okay!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRc2SjlZt4
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC8yIwJe4T
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGptMw2CV1
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFXBHAXzqa
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P5QGa7NTV
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoa68KUuzz
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSm9IINEBv
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYP5IWl4d7
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmaxNq36DV
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjLYjR4QQO
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ccbJHnRM4
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pANHDxmQs
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo6tjaTReA
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQPSww3pYi
Beet: “O-Okay.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU9GPkyuxu
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8EnPFrNH7
Kakarot: “What happened?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xkQSSbYI0
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ354MaWnZYu
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKWAEG3kCO
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDewIhof4rD
Kakarot: “Fine.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3LBrYcfdD
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNFwzBELmb
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24TbvC2Wx1
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewn3Ueiw7B
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59hFlKSjhU
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BCtHIqgUn
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaTvUtsyyP
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3bHhabFYR
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknkHUiKXl5
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X5IcGK7e6
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2VXMWPa1y
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUhu6nzCbi
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod2aw6VYye
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ85YCn01H
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7UPkma8kJ
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZjyyy9OqC
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBR1uhkuL0
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZi5NntKrB
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQzp18V7aR
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNkHtas8bn
Raditz: “Understood.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEjmyO2IVG
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFzi5IQqPw
Raditz departed from the room.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQOWSHYzaG
“Haaaa”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIM5M5sOc3
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VeZBT2v7Z
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UZyqupEls
Kakarot: “Right.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94Ra8CFFba
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PRiqQFkB6
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo6VCmUc4L
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG04Bjoact
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxKXlsCZVU
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac8KXs4bqS
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bX2GygkzH
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuYrBJBHvm
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4xsZadJMX
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN9WwTanuj
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRwaVWnkvp
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GWqfS7UjJ
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp83y4stecS
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MZajqzbCw
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ua2YYeCcB
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtnTLBYgzS
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbISMzOtd2
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HO7X2ewyg
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHyoUWCwwx
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiRB9VQYxo
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnHYbmNNsc
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehYrvr908B
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDyehXDB4W
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79pDnnKNTR
Kakarot turned around.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdbw84Whoo
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmiMdb6jhh
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTuA9ywG1c
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?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVbfTxZ1G5
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KBW84pzw0
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSfGb00xfD
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tVe1jYgis
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrpeVFXesb
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJInbfKJJf6
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbELVDmv09U
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8cnTDwtR5
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yr3W9wAKL
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRde2trcGR
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGylSIJxCED
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkiLKJZe0T
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43JOju8fBQ
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyIHeaEF29
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzPZCGKsX1
Kakarot: “Right!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkicTgLkPDD
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTbaPCQJHy
Kakarot: “Yes?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wxprwOWFk
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliUlP26JAO
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF3uqxMdey
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXvnz1C6LX
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HnY5mXcIb
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMqhmUjyNz
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnU2cirpVh
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI6cYgVFcz
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8YLQPCWIj
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffBAZPpf23
Raditz turned to his brother.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ikOcQ614q
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1Jjt8EGis
Raditz: “Right..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQc2bNhX2B
Raditz took off with his pod.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZrMdS9g23
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStzO5WfPpu
“Let me take a look.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvhkBR0hnx
Beep! Beep! Beep!
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBveXFyh3pB
“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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3mz9mYmX1
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqwQ0vbDso
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa287DPzbX
He bowed in respect.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1AVNg6E19
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bsArcXfNr
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aiQ36idL4
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA04E6dRwN
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIU7gBNKAK
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagjYlfMdTE
Raditz: “As you wish.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSCHVJlony
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysM5OGTUSc
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DIOmGQRgW
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrAt97O3WB
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvorKmZcm7P
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL1OWrOtIr
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0UrCUQTWG
Zarbon took his leave.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwR6x01wOR
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVquw9N2Uy
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05sAseIKoe
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1jixnpEpF
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zdggGSM4n
Raditz chuckled.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxidKURKDOP
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvZgmMx896
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZyNTPcZXS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tPn8BESEX
Beep! Beep! Beep!
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fAg9j2zON
Raditz: “He's here…”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5cx8ZFTGf
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TecpsMJ5P
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx47FNPVo64
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJX5DZhfMl
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK0vdvHxQE
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ1fCuq8Hk
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuQb4QIWX9
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPiGO4Zkom
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJsON7Qfw2
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQfuR4vgQl
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjaY0M7PLD
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgamcxwPgrT
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X7l4fXj59
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70UpXB5nMq
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFBci6q2xu
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWBmk2cZZJ
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmgalZC5tq
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur0RLH9gB8
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfNoeyOjAW
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKmLSE56hx
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4dmt1lWXM
Raditz: “Damn it!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNPo8fsmxL
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PIbnL3KEH
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S0dYwoTyb
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9tbFhJabp
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeKHdtaeLu
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKjj5Pfu7C
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU8XwfN9hU
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkwpdOzsHR
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRq93Yvinh
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8sr8DqkJU
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLc7Sui3OS
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”

Dodoria: “What is it?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGilPn95Jf
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFw9ttJz67
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1lZghUurz
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfyLJosQrC
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwrWsKbBew
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7Wa6nw8aR
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBajNPx3oZ
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i33lry4hA
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFXBTUBLww
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuP2z289kl

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YJoQaBrsJ
Dodoria: “Why you!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI8H0jWzDk
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGirzbfmXg
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU3flhaBuI
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmVnMRVYKb
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMy4MhNHs9
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT0Uktd5jp

Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D5N2A0MM2

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN0fpp5OOV

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB26KMdOrCT
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZW1EYDREK
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryWfArnF2H
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZEgIYeCXY
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86nBhnNc3P
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ554yaT5rLi
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsIoGe6dyc
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHadPoT2E5O
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRrrsZ8ij2
Vegeta: “Huh?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRYKrrONtG

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGyE75ngSh
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL6Ky7Dg6G
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJVak7sYG3
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3r3n6kJHk
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAiRYmyLIz
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QMzlsoJqL
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzLzFocErP
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGsvbB7pWk
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAurV57r7fj

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRoecEfvG3
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAMDu0ArGq
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsOJmb42xF
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnrVHxlSjK
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdYtcPXKzQ
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFDPHxS7zY
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLufRWnyocY
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFw3zV22vO
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIzxRvtRun
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIwbQaNiYH
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUVdWEizhX
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBDoSmUhKD
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgkcA980yy
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDCgUDwsXj
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKVk5z3Olt
Frieza: “Y-You-”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1ucgG3nSG

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZrfU7JViA

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqXEw8TSLm
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG2hxgIMb3
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnanrTkSih
Kakarot: “Not again!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAti5BNkOYu
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnxKkzn4cL
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKnrTZINmB

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQcy73kaqW
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFayNjGI0b
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSWN7eQc0B
Kakarot: “Look out!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFthI4zUsL
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH3ShIH7SL
Raditz: “Nappa!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbrdwAV6ho

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0ADDn9vGN
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1me3OroT6
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtttlchK9KI
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiFaA7HaIW
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4zLKyWebA
Kakarot: “On the contrary! We're more determined to kill you than ever!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zvSjvnypx

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YJKuJKg3W
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyiPmbC9OQ
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDchDO7kwk
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOqyk2FH4i
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDYU1dgMJR
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aYXMhAauT
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTjILJ2PaP
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcyeqx825t

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVk9fOtjLG
Frieza: “Such an anticlimactic end it seems.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h7Rtsdniy
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJfvOpSuJ5
Frieza: “You again!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSQ1qrqL3X
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKI1s2ZiKP
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OTDB9tZBY
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W24dAAfLx
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8pfPZTsNy
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1E6rQUyhB
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EFAypmqzt
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvHMKiR0px
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagqyslZWUu
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkubLzD8MM
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx8iFJ2nEH
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23oYEux2vW
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7UHezGglD
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZHqZXJbqx
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6yILAGC1c
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1zxMA0XZx
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VJLdGNcgY
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSCA8A5bNV
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQScLn6IkX
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbCJ4uL0hU
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhQPDG77u9
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0ssVJdNBr
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKp7MNqQwG
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxx2RI3hMU
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fL36q3QhM
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf7oQSYKG1

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttMPc3neVJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKyZxczCO1
Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPkbItCKLc
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV9G6Umnsh
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAffg7OOyXj
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzNFblkfaY
“Haaaaaa!!!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNjsV1yN5N
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbMqwYLx9M
Raditz: “We actually did it…”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WbcWTRCfF

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ4Pe52wuk
Raditz: “Huh?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqJQkMAgrm
Before he could react, Raditz was struck by a mighty backhand from Kakarot.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bfQmbJfyg
Kakarot: “Rrrraaaahhhh!!!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkSjWfciPM
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt14yqyCDB8
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNn63n8v71
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dF4LVSd1z
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN66pfTmS0
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ19JSb01a
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3XIPkC2Nh
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXd9ELSK2C
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhQJXUgAyC
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMTV0sNPWf
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGBGoT2xLc
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1wjye4cEi

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl7wZuMEQe
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT7Tw4Jw3A
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.

Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1SWBPnPlU
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihkVvvasHA
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNGiu9JNoa
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PbF7k4DEp
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloG5axa9no
Kakarot: “It's done…”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXnNUvLvhM
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1ObfRL6lV
Vegeta ascended into the air.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVrxht6l87
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6EhXOXfVY
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI02rxLSDX
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM0ylnvNHR
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBHZirad2b
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCSjiNOgsZ
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzP0n6Xz0E
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiabhmW0lGZ
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2pZT9KKj3
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoveZKOmwRO
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFlkvHeV4D
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn48gEWBkwe
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP6AeAXCM9
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3LM3jIuAg
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQAwyoorCw
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjgOOsDbld
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbWGZKhc63
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7xi1sDUIi
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbz3a4CqRM
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRX52zRDUp
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI2i4PAEAw
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S0CEGgtrX
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyZCeyv14T
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzkoBEt4ek
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTCNnKAo4T
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcSCGxDoxm
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd0AYA72nZ
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviePxJCh66
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH7PichjZx
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUCmprciAH
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjmX3ttZvr
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfNoFuI2KX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02xgN1oyou
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKW3MjxGSc
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJmz8xggLV
He looked at his fist in shame.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu2e6Opewm
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4MYu1tESe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypwA5yyuUi
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ock7TfZ5
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uafwxwHMF
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF4QMGGz0G
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuxx6x4dBR
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq9euxtTpZ
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi6QAxNuy3
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTATOGcnoo9
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5doLiv1PR
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRY21ySp5P
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GaPF1Xfkz
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQtOSW6z1v
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xHYJ1f1Ql
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..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChxyqPk44g
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA6bcceDov
Kakarot: “No…”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhVARlFB6w
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWeodml8Fl
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktmo9RBpTt
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu8KjRs9HC
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcyMJ1J3to
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ77qS5y4N
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSwW1AT2qI
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcwwUhTCLU
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkG5xWbymZ
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8laKN4k61
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSgR6bsg0f
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBWhQ1S1dd
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlfGY40YQk
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9dGBb1At8
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdv4Qrg0pZ
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg5SwyCamW
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEvFfFDMG7
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCqlROdCAa
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTWiuckL50
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8etQLB8hpo
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZijZ6hOcE
Raditz bowed down in respect.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PvUcd12dM
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicAdpsa4pQ
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UfNHUMMkk
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInp6rykwj8
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE3XkUO3OZ
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRO5c9brVG
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruMri68u6z
Raditz: “Right!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzJP9dUk0M
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRTLHg1PM9
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxEeAS2ha6
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ007bFhDU70
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5sP6uo2ly
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehAUnuuWOA
Tears ran down his face.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KI3Oznt6Z
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?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3VVTQSPBh
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FMPYJGzbV
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxC4AqN5RG
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzWI82fVXB
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqSLcKBZj0
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRPxg43wbM
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mWeREUGLm
Raditz smirked.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSdgHxGzPs
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4zwkdb0zp
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ75BzdvZU
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJj2oEtZb0
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZcLtlomjh
He pounded the ground.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHBp9WIqZ1
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJOQ4Te0id
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDZbp3lGds
Kakarot: “To fight!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwjxX18IVK
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cL1enU2xZ
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZwBoQdsfn
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKtbL0nnP1
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMDKaqTUGA
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUwg7lNelo
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSiRD9Bjev
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9pmngeysp
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2kP3HMNi6
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJcjShM8rA
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.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XkYQAnq4A
Vegeta: “Wait!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXFqDpV2z2
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNUw5lOqZd
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpNbhwMB4m
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHMlAhXNOn
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sbCdu3WpX
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ia4LJY7Qg
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!”
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80FZlvI3QL
Shenron: “As you wish."
