Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27Rql6PsAt
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgEyfA5OpG
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyfUFa5lE0
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDZrYCSkWS
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1yLubf8cJ
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJc8TUXr5I
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzqqTAjmBc
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEEf8wiwGf
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs3QdAw06r
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHh4qAxkGn
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cxytpqKkX
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2MDm2ZTs2
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKFfxJIwJQ
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5vmXMXqgF
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmlLrtVsIf
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN4bjYgdSN
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkCaRhK8fr
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekBumuGcll
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaUbpJmjCi
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerKILJQKwy
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQArF78cDk
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPK2ehEKDo
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3ySR1o9Pa
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsstFBn5pWn
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSWSS6o5cL
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg22tI8h91
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3wtqYnvor
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD84vPl7C9q
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLJkxXVymm
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3QQxjlwrB
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWV7rjL12d
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcGNZKuHZg
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDGxjxHZUP
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3Nvr091m0
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMgynfwng5
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIP9on42Ub
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHCwhXh5Hk
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12piiMPfyv
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSO0mpgcae
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bmxz1I9vA
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjIPNszazZ
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6Slz5f6Wr
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMllOSYWtWK
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO70UXcHvy
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkIeOtqurV
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7Y8H9l3W4
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQaqTLdGzS
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fSV979VvK
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm57Rs5IhP
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4TLGsEiqQ
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90IJ77nupf
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLlK0jzVZW
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCsgpXW6ET
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BpNlLOKRJ
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmE6pdyOHt
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTvePxEesH
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCKAJk9Bvm
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoINGi8YVVf
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzHjpScvXi
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrdQ8EvlUO
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisoVe06rtl
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPLJeX6YJQ
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ESQGDv72q
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiRoBrIi4C
Beet: “Haaa!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJsiMRrEEE
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqFelycGfA
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwb6lvKyBq
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlcxdbWNni
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Z8KBFRJX
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlQaAahubN
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8TvaaY295
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-”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yJ5LGIuJs
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVHh2911IK
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JvI6qhRoK
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VoEEtPxlC
Kakarot: “Enough”!
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC6DwxMzZl
Beet: “Huh?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk3dfX713X
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsfLpTB6i9
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL07ralYvi
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3eyfnjY7S
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIPtV84tIF
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fqGp6wthG
Beet: “Right!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg9u2UsClV
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdkhqDfdjK
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoAQDWt3FE
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbwx0NyXZd
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2mgUntxKy
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJpbfPnMxO
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBGAsMmSqW
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfLbWCO7O5
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6tEBd8XDJ
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw9MHcUHPF
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g0H8ySYMa
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjAcyWURL3
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11kl37xeiU
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvenEWinx3C
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBaWY01AWh

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOFn6n3Q2h
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94gDM51u9D
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRnBJmp1ca
“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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XxUrbqsrT
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxgnJolR91
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuJB1hFYPI
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZNI7igtzx
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaHj96WK4J
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VyqqVPXWU
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUFZF5vu4J
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSo7letAiz
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1fGWRLHWP
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyOtjSseqG
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKK0RuPnyk
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T5HbGaZNE
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR7Wp42adi
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnVcROGJO8
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aA60ZV9CP
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarIJsEnwDq
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7gd2MfPCg
Bulma chuckled.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D2wqUIKs2
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujFl4H8kGS
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ632LsCdN4w
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHarV5ZzJO2
Beet: “Momm!!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kkp1bQwau
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YGe47x5wf
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPpPJKMJWh
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd5iY6ju66
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgbS9xSjc5
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCBM71SjZh
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe4oydZO95
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4j7uclFTI
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAtWzgXoZu
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1jwUkm9kj
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrtJtYsOKs
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ6jXPv08R
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRKDfVa7GR
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvPLV6G77h
Kakarot: “Enough!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhCBfyCy2V
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjyeF8waJX
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ3csamD5n
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yUW4GYapY
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5Q5Gvg26x
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7orZkVgKJU
Beet: “Sir!!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavFqznlv5r
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK4KGQflWw
Bulma: “Beet!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjY4Bne1xy
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8RCgaig8D
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICqRsL8BUm
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKsjkr8KGV
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx58n2mHk4A
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB9K4c0om2
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDJuq7wGmH
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wew4f3ehw
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifvwQxAhyU
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcSGtTF18t
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE0hKT1w07
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY1j9GpweK
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxjrTnsybq
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmf5AiTcso
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsjoDdmiNh
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UrWQrk4lI
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54rvGFCSBx
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcRbjbesqb
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2NFxU7OYH
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNFTjROAH3
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQVTu0l65i
Raditz: “You have my word.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU8CNWmIRN
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrZYT4fqGw
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42d9BuFKSo
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5QLexNc4r
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlof3bilSFn
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpIWpmSIIJ
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24urnyVcbm
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Zh6JvDtV
Raditz chuckled.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxbMD5cnvp
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h89ly0iIV
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl2APNevbV
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZTDjbh0sB
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBapyOBYwP
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmkZS9ag0P
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYX9rgTRc7
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fPSUNUSX4
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74xms4ralS
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgylmrEQf2
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWdd13ZUbe
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Cw2XJ9h1
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkZrgfODSC
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQEgOpx8Hh
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdprG1doy3D
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsZf4N57QC
Raditz took a deep breath.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgvJ3UX8A4
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK8qiPvejd
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiBVcKjj0B
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJSCHoLyfr
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D9ognVNin
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0XmIpBkgU
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXMhPvDmoE
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ434PHMieaK
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBlq77uPDK
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFbgoPDC7v
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sywInTgOV
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJSUicozD0
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDr4YRrLv7
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWeYUOJKXq
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPEvcDUuxK
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvExaHoi1A4
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDctLUrcWCF
Kakarot: “The prince?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGHt1OmKPS
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBBqHx2u4U
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI8UasVs5f
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJAkcuxlVx
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOyPjZJeqq
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkNdKI0vHf
Kakarot: “….”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpkJeiezPs
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdMjQgbQFY
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCOoQgmd5j
Bulma hesitated to reply.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnv8usjgZe
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTguuSaSS3F
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou73Ixm0oE
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m2yGLT5Kj
Beet: “Sir!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPh6zZqGJB
He came face to face with his father.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62SMZJQMIv
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NWBpLdhfY
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCnsDjQjaJ
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnus9C5pK5R
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMnyhPfu92
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk3xiSndK9
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS660JpBHH
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2TfGCJ9jV
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ9kW4hBxi
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT7SzCaxuu
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKciQ0d63Fl
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD8C69SBkq
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD4ZvN9Y7v
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPJsTuot9J
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.’
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjrKLG9Dy2
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz332hPUfYb
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTU0cVZyKU
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP6KDCVLeY
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIDAjf3DnL
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaZbJjXgH5
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo650qSCti
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEnnZjjCKr
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIADOhlJ4cx
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d8Rj8fsu3
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme0W13TNlj
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiGcADtlRC
The prince hesitated.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gkeuwSJmY
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDYyyrgVBs
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM488hPW7Zc
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9T4QbnQUu
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2o5RITd4k
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgAGAwVqr4
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHVlrVzfew
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5U90aO7fY
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv68D576ou
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhoknbV0hn
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduZTqiqOXV
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslMd3Jpyk8
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI4uufPtRt
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPjeLsO9xz
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2apk7LGx8E
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVaPfcbmLM
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSD1ZfZONb
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSGbKQ4XaV
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbxBhctvWt
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7b3bjsAT5
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvlq6HSddV
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JixgpT3et
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAdVbgph7Q
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZYglQGIbP
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0yzyXE0HB
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aQcWWEqQk
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwHw4uLFhd
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5RzfGv2fs
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PwnXXOXnf
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvosFQVceY
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xxtx571e5
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6I95XI2pY
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGH5mlrIDe
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5hYwSM4wc
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHv8JabSfx
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdQzmO0FLs
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI7l3VTmy3
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzSzZLenjo
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklRFl2STrk
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlkSIPsU7Z
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC7W1bY6Wj
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZkh8jPK5p
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKcczrShKY
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoisKwGxSW
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbPe6FOji8
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt92jK1niJK
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z7ZJvFOqT
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeAUtP7EjQ
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6ZHVSfWBU
Kakarot: “What was that?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ35zdnPS5
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48QgeQnabb
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6siMvc5y6j
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxzsfpgQ8j
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNMpjhUXX1
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGCtulSaCD
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9r5H9dLU1
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTNg2SgWOj
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j2Mx6MDbV
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ySn8300th
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ6UqhYSee
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VAxk9FIKz
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLgZxrdinS
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRKddv3hEJ
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNPTVphJMO
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQQcmT2Cu2
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGyMJMXY6N
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6InIFK2Ed
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZssU3dwahq
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.

Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NA6IugcmO
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ7ZdSjskY
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSWTLRWIYf
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxQUr17lKY
“Your foot is on my tail!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEkH5E4a7Q
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzSqMYHWAe
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.

Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFjT9jiiVK
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW8sZAN4b9
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”

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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShtjS2rsPL
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP593o0RoI
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vuOD9CzFh
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg8OGg0MnM
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSgA1wtk75
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZslRnGQOD
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5skidGBpG
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCEIqmePSK
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vnchrNMDf
Kakarot smiled.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw1S7SpN5o
Kakarot: “Understood!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLARVAGlR4V
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6arhGhfxH
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ou3jph0bK
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUVF7fKPCm
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmGUg01uDB
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWpBRN3Iar
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTyhILuERR
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGlOguKIbD

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2LYbWh72r
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.

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsyFbIYMWC
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnxirYdZBe
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICT95lXGEQ
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGb3PHWVdc
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YW5PL8pTv
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4maWMHshb
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V1ZySBmoB
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs3oojNy7Y
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSgl8Y223k
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlxFAYVe3I
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb6uAuLxte
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla7M2YnJVB
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINlz01tGFy
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblSk91gpf7

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MQfxWSdP5
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGomOCf9TnN
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf2bsR4GuU
Raditz: “Why you!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqgJK7Wrcl
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l3QTb85Rp
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9baIqTUQEd
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTOQfnLP56
“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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMZnkZcwII
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg7SrF5029
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4V5vSkQ4O
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9u4KTpqXV
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJwiAa3o8k

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ssGRggfDX
Doctor: “I will sir.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUTLvzpynj
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.”

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMRbD3mNsX

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVcHAT0m5M
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsByfbV1RuW
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL04HHkCtaz
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn4Gg3ttNs
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.”

Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAFB6Rtx2U

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOkspnztFb
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp2xdQSshe
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttNFigZvZA

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2kUuYirhx

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0ALCYZNM7

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHk6yDMv5k
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.

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWZVqcfrES

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh2IcFgktr

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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa8in5QJpg
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPLOpb70Yx
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIBr6S9iaf
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxhSXmiYCg
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxWcV7XU0Q
Raditz: “I will..”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IGahGQBmd
Raditz turned to his comrades.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaPBYxxVON
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx9hfojOUQ
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AyPrg9JKR
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm3UmLVqBR
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t5hlV2x1E
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViZznbu0VJ
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUM50wMo00
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc0kZppYNA
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi1Y3p8693
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjYlBKkt7k
Beet: “Okay!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyazN8paFY
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixGAzWPx4u
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLD1iygOrN
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKcdS35IC7
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8nYgEkwBR
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycoCLjapCH
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW1q56ejMF
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzBM0BtAXr
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO965VvSqvV
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY2alVBKeF
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFltYkPg7yv
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ8z3PNgmR
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2W1KiNg5O
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iyPSIrUi3
Beet: “O-Okay.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGPwjLyuia
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaCaD4JeHl
Kakarot: “What happened?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcugWsagmwy
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK79FOeFP3
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmTG2tLzql
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9bMx7s4iK
Kakarot: “Fine.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUU4nEYzvl
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9XEpMxk0B
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fTsBpMkCe
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWrwQned4O
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWTG4d2Zrs
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccfC4mQich
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe97LwmehD
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XptQ8Uy5V
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgOKK55tRZ
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9axCSD6QNI
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK0sVELWdO
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQniHXPLj5
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV7rgTEZfl
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWls0Y5HSX
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KanQoWqem
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYOW1iP7cS
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mji4HuwWG
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aJc8pd3rt
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwauy6rPX58
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EqrVGGB9A
Raditz: “Understood.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfhwmVlbWu
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDhZrCaACp
Raditz departed from the room.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszhjCLePA6
“Haaaa”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yCkPCAoJN
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJcLXRBzGa
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H3CeXx6A1
Kakarot: “Right.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt9EROKTFx
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nC5GO7IRy
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkrjDZOkBQ
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EymuCs69e
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLRvyo7Pjb
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuaGzWSLZi
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcY8m1Yx5n
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoMUGVwnCA
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa9uW44xFe
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiXZ8bTguw
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR4JXd5Fut
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vY9WaKuzD
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeehBqC0qk
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxkbpCzb67
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMJmC8dXvk
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0aObBXGai
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBklgNOUFx
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfRrMcbUGu
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K6yJxWjXn
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeTVnaeG4W
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZpCQTanob
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqivecAF4B
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd3TZWoRJ3
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvy3A0mURk
Kakarot turned around.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErGriHVmn6
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz8QWwMMsQ
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7LOZsj40b
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0SUsh80XJ
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceJUs0XWpx
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9D2ZLFj9j
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8E0bl4ZgD
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9945oCtTjp
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98q4kBUOkN
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE00VTfp0i1
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjyqkkLUG2
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WfoSOxAUx
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLOKmVCvl4
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YfERryW2w
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BXUbbVG4P
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDXnZM3i7g
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHmfOt7x89
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodOW39u7ky
Kakarot: “Right!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9SCQjiVwj
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGecMX8FWy7
Kakarot: “Yes?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4NNOkMP88
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDqvvtKG1c
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sB69kGMY6
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBED4oZErmb
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BsE53K6BT
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM71zzqnetT
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc4ut62NHJ
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DHPDOqd0Z
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CXHd7wyPB
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6p8z7hvUo
Raditz turned to his brother.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXzlHMcrPh
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQxn4LUDei
Raditz: “Right..”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPHbSFsGqw
Raditz took off with his pod.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTVkoU9STi
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufsRMCGDkA
“Let me take a look.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUQ4lkR8vD
Beep! Beep! Beep!
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQkXembWQP
“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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIxAunOVpA
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WfVJmwXxg
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxJAsS659d
He bowed in respect.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqG2uBkiJJ
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLjZrl3WgM
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIOopwS8QH
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lEaDgzSsE
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBaJWxYXTu
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCiZ37eJQN
Raditz: “As you wish.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIB4iJHS3P
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWylY5xBs2
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQjRBPHniT
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0FZFC04l8
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa99sOw7BD
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabSMEmYADa
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lFlNopbis
Zarbon took his leave.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97FuaS6unp
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t1HiW2sVV
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR2JGSNJbv
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKa3EOMqNw
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh2so9Vr8W
Raditz chuckled.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlQlMl0JG6
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFER7T7wJbL
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk8LiEFYY1
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWznZfSyV5B
Beep! Beep! Beep!
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTV7gRtkBG
Raditz: “He's here…”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9uGOZbCLF
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuvEzCUrYj
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFswUVNKZx
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTwJaLZHPS
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDXhYXvDLV
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweeYU4EfVz
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLMKV4XDpS
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14Dj7sUlYH
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxkazp0p0L
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGApOOan9O
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7bBM9m7Js
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWxWBjpgif
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHtoaBxX6z
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5YjczCWvq
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eKvibrP16
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFJ4ftGPbu
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJbLgVPAt6
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OGYIecOjn
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTPo4kfGTG
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyekInJXHA
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGLn2Dxfz1
Raditz: “Damn it!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOYHQLwVxU
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC9vAJZAKa
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDjc3dLHId
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2qnpqtsGG
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGMPLjOMrN
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvt5kiPMOy
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwUq3yXRH9
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIY9vK2OlS
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIfL75ckg6
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWKxiJvkCv
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmgQdC0mgy
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEVG9NhxKc
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKnQKNZNXB

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVKIBL7Oe6
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud9Fwldx12

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOswyjuffJ
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOKeWr0IYa
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbzGEwCEq6
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dW9visqkS
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKkngY16DE
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTPQzLcue0
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgnx82sDiq
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPvrkvIj30
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreRHkWiHqI

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXCtelyQHO
Dodoria: “Why you!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPljnAEwJma
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtfdZaN2If
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF2f2eZwGf
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyYmfMATAt
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbqooJx5tq
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYimvx4yKr

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDgRjwLmZb

Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUxFDXO3cB
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCiugB3wQ1
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7zPSHRwVZ
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeAs4Rril2
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu8Ag5seCN
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYpFO1Toy6
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jEL3FtEpf
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x1rOiR0NQ
Vegeta: “Huh?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD7CwmtMK9

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyCeDDQ1Ki
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXWBhvDqp7
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6ZtzlIqXN
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGIBPkt6Ul
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tFJIpj8IQ
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCf79ALLxA
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe74LP88nw
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxRa138aEn
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujFggXuw3v

Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMxVhXyRFx
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0maXkJm0db
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJuTXUKKJy
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYyQ0Rl09K
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgzadomjuW
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOV9fWJcDH
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZzad86Ie1
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7dkjZqr7l
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj46zkqqtck

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaZogDoHln

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ0j3onjt0
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpurzBvGj4
Frieza: “Y-You-”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDIDi8UbwK

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7Q0wwWkbd
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qxewfMBgp
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ701DHqLx
Kakarot: “Not again!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00mBakFG5L
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA41iKYQal
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EvIJj3JWR

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oYC4YpE4D
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCljlnYFd6
Kakarot: “Look out!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctS9ajw2GW
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPOQRNkrFm

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoNma6jNzh
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGb6Tjtiwl
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnm7EPYCvO
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YMe4QT4F7
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA48KpqXBK
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriiuiqTO0Q
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKFsK52Z4n
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutRQRFt1Lc
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW9G846HLh
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcPWWKf8GT

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH1PMwN3zY
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURSego8zfZ
Frieza: “You again!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLVPkbYMZK
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbWgoq5I3h
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfxRVUsksR
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsHD9unMd2
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBsdFyed0J
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lk9iZYXMF
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy3omEOiYN
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ481Ixseymw
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuidxPHgTfx
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmAx1ov5TK
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MS6KXMrTn
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3oxjwUhxh
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vnRSb1LbB
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVgFKkWjsB
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqItxRyng12
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55jbygJ4eh
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6P2lE8Pk5
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrrMJLAUnr
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr4fwLnDzS
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoGmJi9SQG
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWgekChs84
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTmhj9fPGc
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wm1Wrsm5P
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q6q7rmxAy
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmG1YNG9ka
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY3uNFGYTQ
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMeZaQwppD
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr53cvC2oAS

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG23mDBmk8e
“Haaaaaa!!!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyVwVaswx5
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.

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC1jwtY7ZH
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf3OdMZ6z2
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTJPY9BZ2Q

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc95wV0Znub
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpiCjYiaUb
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaq7XDh9K6
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVeyss7CgV

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡume4eDSHc6
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIJtFUhvwK
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP7d76Aqll
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.

Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewmkjIZ6PP
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtqODSFQ8Q
Kakarot: “It's done…”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM0EX5YtaC
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz71HTEODDv
Vegeta ascended into the air.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzNyD6PNGH
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb355diNYTb
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlvQLdgZPa
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWFB0V8ehd
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSFx4zk2fM
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlculvk530
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo5omM062Q
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8BIhk9LN1
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4UvsJBh9j
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk31VfZDbj
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbVzucLO6E
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGSmqE6hNW
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTAXGnSHBD
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbRaQLiRkM
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUq1K3VZo3
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pOUHzjzBS
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tZTg6HChU
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoxbmtJqvM
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExgqd04mme
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3HSwfAWQT
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WMhbvoTEy
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U3n2GGqtK
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBm9aDKnze
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE8CPqSqJJ
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBeqRUnwlh
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW9njQRsmv
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoE9qcE19K
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVqW1cHaEl
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy5HD1dXiT
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqftBGUyVLW
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ375u6TySxA
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZakimjCZp
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy66h31ihL
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3LxB7agEw
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZI5ifYmBU
He looked at his fist in shame.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHK7eq4EpK
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L7fJgqfAC
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W0ULG21BC
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa6xE9iJKa
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85eDxPk0eA
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7Ulp9vmYR
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwykHLiGGw
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO1tTvv3Ku
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvg5qRIqLj
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO14X7kE9E
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpeeRh8Ouc
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHlozL71mr
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3OJhBWtQa
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVazkR4jZm
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ekZ5Z5F2z
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..”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM6Y1mGDaX
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB97h3Wq4Yk
Kakarot: “No…”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWIjpPQSwx
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW293SCjOq2
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW1s7r4GK6
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtibRvWwTwg
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Pw0pdjJ2
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZMsycJJy0
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrevdzH2h9H
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9bTrfCzfY
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLS1Jw5rqf
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI9lusRE4r
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcM5WUcQt6
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO8JmKu1ds
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFiDf36zEX
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QDLcPsw4L
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRsZkwszuk
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJdDlqJNp1
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTLpHZ25jy
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7timYY9NE
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLinPmpcxc
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEONwNEebg
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA5aFzOjOk
Raditz bowed down in respect.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDVMNJaWXV
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30PCMMFGkS
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHAcmOZM34
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNWwF00v31
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY82x8WTNsT
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXeK4WVprI
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ5HVXbdWt
Raditz: “Right!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jy94aHlVt
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxKQaUGXNm
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3HrTWKzg6
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iFk1qr4Wc
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jknq223cH
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykPG9ifbVY
Tears ran down his face.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzXd0JPdJc
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?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhDE4DonlQ
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvq1OAeIIM
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiptkhVERw
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtXbfPmDUE
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXJJYTzOxa
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiFhvg9qpN
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJxV1y6qS0
Raditz smirked.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRIUGLpHLw
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2Zg4ieojc
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdOnblfPc9
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17H8MOVfXu
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJQ8wLA9uc
He pounded the ground.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkibdI9SaQ
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQsGbyt1Up
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt2KXftRx7
Kakarot: “To fight!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRYIZgsVmv
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyPTE5gopL
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEOTshKJxg
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK10OVbjy2
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5FYS5Rqqo
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm10aFpxsbs
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFBc8au1vO
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv81WL4VLl5
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNi5bFIqYO
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!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDQi9PYgTe
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDrtRUUza1
Vegeta: “Wait!”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QOecLDtLq
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs71fHTifiN
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmjRWTWpKb
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCTJcFdae7
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZBGCOrss4
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPGpm2TLvA
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”

Shenron: “As you wish."
