Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKylcOr2zG
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2teXvHWgrJ
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy7jIcTKM8
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfrSly5UfL
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PGSDsmMfk
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB2KsddBNw
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0CKitqcjk
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4nilqlPAR
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2VmJTbnzw
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPFNKleDp5
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV3ocUJLC8
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMxKzFdsec
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbN6xscns8
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ5BjwKTO7
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhqqAsuvhi
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXLmlfxoXb
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSq3iCloDo
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hexPdpCBg
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbLPSEFxl1
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcWD2YpCYz
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHz8opGgDB
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JZLNIk03J
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC3lBIhQLn
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuqoOJfhkm
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQrWvmpHYQ
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u1wc6p93h
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23q21Bc1HW
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bfYzppfxC
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP4Koozxl5
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT2N8OeauM
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGdzNcDT1c
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRpWBRFA1b
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNXYCQUi1Y
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p9Bsw3bx3
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoMdXKlqeG
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVrVPNB0Ld
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8XaWpj81L
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5XeLgr9XT
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGr2wsFrio
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xWfjHLLd4
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrL2QiHUdF
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Wmax6qCB
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7EUBVeS7I
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQPDHzKLSy
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIW1NUXFUX
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTvF4XpzxE
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfXoHlaFdX
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTouCCHGGE
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5j3JMgY8s
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGgs1KpbHy
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYp8o3oPUP
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu2Dvam4XJ
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkkvcvBXCY
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOQbLx78fx
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAgPOiCqvA
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7MxRUA4Bs
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK3pzCxgbp
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DltQtTq9Y
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFXCHG3PrN
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6wLZXSyVu
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3WzoVwWfs
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BHV2A1hwd
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRleP1d3XF
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi61rRRMPlB
Beet: “Haaa!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSI6YX1mHk
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnec116SDr
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvlRmfMwue
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOc8SHECGP
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVbf3mCf54
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NI6igRrLj
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCcQPPZ5DL
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-”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GqpkDzwKq
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAPcKL1cnZ
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2PsUEpCfp
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO9eUEcuM2
Kakarot: “Enough”!
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKtNfdtlaE
Beet: “Huh?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn31PPOftvz
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2Rd6JpPaP
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bQUuCEfM3
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d9vWYoRIQ
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyJ9F4gDAJ
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1reBzMRDu
Beet: “Right!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr34iNoaOZ
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TEUQaIv6K
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCleQ5sLl1
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjTRO5WaBl
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrbYB53ioz
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8JNUJ1Mgm
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jOifWGygj
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivLVEJzApC
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0muRpZYzM
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmkgO36zyE
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqio9jVujIo
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEcaDgO45t
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4VbVav9QM
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdImcAmD9r
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxulIbTdPRP

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7Vzi96ZTj
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a6rXztCLH

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzibmfXqyEm
“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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD8vRquCTA
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCovaipWzNN
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDFVIuqdaw
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a2Y4rQXkm
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgmS5n4Kl8
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwOcVRMSLy
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uWvkHzd1J
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyq5ik4YtC
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6PrEE1Iln
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoU1uZIN5r
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtct7oDGTT
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jn8kycuPs
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukT3myMjTT
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWvx1jBLuv
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSxekK4Wwa
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbQ3SVVTpj
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjo9kvJKgE
Bulma chuckled.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3MRzG3wYC
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcNFPLA3fb
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFEWbcJErV
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3USIpRBICa
Beet: “Momm!!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B6tQejSDZ
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZxNfshQZK
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6R7zdrPbL
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LLrbkGY0D
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnUiRs2j8i
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHecFHrcsC9
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4LZ968IdB
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwcPRzxmLS
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWFzdNEvTg
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWLKtciZ5q
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzUelpoo6K
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I3AelQxzy
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ732wrjsFQx
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAwOV4bMCx
Kakarot: “Enough!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AKuxNJB1A
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOG1puQpAY
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMlfEurIjC
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4plpVTwqcv
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8UWMLXk2l
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ096E6WTmBS
Beet: “Sir!!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D9jKdt1t6
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyKXvpHLjb
Bulma: “Beet!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqROWtPTzR
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqAVtrb1CO
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmKUwk7Rii
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveyeqLxrlm
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbH3mI7OO7
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CT2LWtDkn
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOw3J485UO
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt0FYt4uuZ
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsmD2FhjHy
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5pb5Grnub
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.”

Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq4rIc60lZ
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4PV3MCvuC
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVje41u4MX
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrc7TpOEE4
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI7uTzmX4j
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vkN2kKnVO
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XgRNpaLHC
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a1DiXvLqc
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFvhZgUiZH
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpKnC5TqII
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuurk5lh2GC
Raditz: “You have my word.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefS6kxAPnb
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SZMSQYvf0
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1rr77VL78
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjEFwNo0FK
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLajp4LDLC
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZcBlJXzLQ
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJyeYoviVl
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡder3ZeQKIy
Raditz chuckled.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiWaWrmVuO
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhGCrnBTM4
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6wYWvFEPW
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iJsyucC8J
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO7RLv7t3G
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNQE6DBAoO
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRubl86RdaZ
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8ELvphsCr
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LSzg8L6bC
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYCcpeSkgm
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix9azGCs3M
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweZZdJ4VoN
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai08L6PrOG
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlc3oYZ28O
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPHzrEHH8s
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7v9fkUzpy
Raditz took a deep breath.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdExEMt8Bxj
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R6A7goSoy
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0erl2HUq3
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4YlVoM9ev
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M1GtaXtLW
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb7sYQJAIS
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Km0mKfjiE
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllipF3AI26
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiO312aKPl
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24CrtNUetB
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM80Vox2rE7
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26bSSNb392
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1yj6b9E4O
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVUTe5XAgL
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduB0TN1fHZ
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKflfGoB4v
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEr78wvOkT
Kakarot: “The prince?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9BxXpXOnh
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvIlvQsJnM
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE6LLrnmFI
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GEqAc4AoL
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCqXrIt6FW
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb9AvDS7nB
Kakarot: “….”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSy7oX6nHL
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA5waE47lW
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLCBRupTIo
Bulma hesitated to reply.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X2HdkJzFh
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2hnDylUMx
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WYXEUVvbl
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDMt6zgkSq
Beet: “Sir!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzUpmSqObJ
He came face to face with his father.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr4RnrehlX
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6Uru0Y1CK
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0U4WLohEq
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62F6t4VQ8C
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGWmpxMeDe
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PtaZ5URlZ
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHVCAejSGR
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztLwKtL4dZ
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg23eSSxuK
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFSSsua3NW
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUkg4cMC8K
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMihYp8iuh
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATtTZhtvCd
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA9HlcNs3K
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.’
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYao0bh8Bb
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbZc7kmtRb
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01TikV35GN
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMpaCNPDzJ
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tgWeIPRoO
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoAkBfBDOa
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKpQSJrUJu
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4akeTFD63
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZRlw9MLlz
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqrHMKCq4x
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyga7ECGs6Y
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHF11JGtO9
The prince hesitated.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglg1hjRMBO
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNfFsNI3dF
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNq4p9XumY
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIl5kebDFO
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aoDM0ilvr
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCmVdhyiL8
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ErYyjh7Ce
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelYqqOJ6Zt
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx03gdeEYs
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCi1m2KkiG
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegD9a94LOH
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG4W0MVNq2
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuanmnACxt
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5q2O1jGGX
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgwVlP1z9D
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx3qyTm7Av
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNqyB11DOy
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W5AIdx9Jx
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWhjjQr5ug
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO5HxQAz0p
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOpHTYukh4
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWERCzSBtD
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqux35aAnb
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwEXVl1duI
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqCeYk0W6b
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAlWYVjozB
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK64F40RlTk
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFZdZWlWrK
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxitYnCBIQ
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7wshxMbR0
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt4jFt2Msc
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAIPFPXdoG
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4slOElZ38m
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Hhgslsiz
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemOQhEMaCV
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WzGHt0I6D
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutTbI5wXHw
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fy02gfPQf
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO6caWcDAh
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CYiLIsVIA
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTg4rkTEbc
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqukWPT9RFz
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOLI91SF6T
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1GZtGuceP
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zc23KC726
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiqUhkY1Uc
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKRejlhYeq
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHswTNS2Wv
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hIaqKZ26Z
Kakarot: “What was that?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9YV88xabQ
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBhmmhFqkh
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h67UJeZ1o
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M3oqjz1If
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3exJeFk8ei
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLzNSHxHB5
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs9qoOTZ9i
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8sJA5K2ZU
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OBydjxUxr
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXrAWiV26o
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsDE27cK8h
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lR983a4wp
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt9zwJS8V3
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUDHdD7H4V
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw2XxaoxhQ
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzcNgRf1We
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmI2b7h7NM
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡursaRk5u4w
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmywdKqlaG6
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vlAfQKdRr
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pF7p8hE2u
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1WiLOXKUb
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqpZrQ1UjM
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ9A97Zt1T
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCVru0dUxm
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl97Q4hRx6
“Your foot is on my tail!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnjPZ4aDhR
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscowlX5kUQ
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoi5kfLic4
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoS1lJAWQv
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2AXD6QDQh
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3JvP1lLAI
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXCG0xmK4t
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIgXAhrqRK
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfBgBcLBMK
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr8lXxijPe
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhre9XIeF9I
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTiREa34P7
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdXS6PcJg9
Raditz rushed to the battlefield in hopes to get in on the fun. Kakarot observed his fellow saiyans, watching how they fought. The prince made light work of the toughest of creatures, mercilessly ending their lives with single and swift blows. A smile overtook his face with every victory. Kakarot clenched his fists, fighting his urge. The unsuspecting saiyan was caught by a sudden blow to his face. The punch sent him to the floor. He snapped into action and returned the attack, knocking his opponent into another Tatsu, stumbling them both over. They caught their balance and set their targets on Kakarot. Without hesitation, they rushed the novice saiyan simultaneously. Kakarot struggled to fend them off, taking blows left and right from both. One of the creatures punched his gut, staggering the saiyan. His arms fell loose. His blood began to pump again, faster than before. A rush of adrenaline took over his body. He used the opportunity to catch and hold the creature's arm down and countered him with a powerful headbutt. He followed it up with a ki blast that blew the creature into pieces. He dashed to the other enemy, striking the bottom of his jaw with the palm of his hand and used the opening punch a hole through his chest. He immediately set his sight on more nearby opponents as the options were seemingly endless. He jumped into a hoard of the violent species and fought every single one at once. He took multiple blows in the process but returned just as much. Guilt, regret, love, hate, anger, all sense of emotion had lost its meaning, all but one, the overwhelming sense of excitement. He took blows from different angles all at once, the damage didn't slow him down as he leapt into the air and shot a ki blast that created an explosion which blew away a chunk of the hoard. One of them jumped out from behind, preparing a devastating attack. His efforts were intercepted by Vegeta who chopped his arm off and kicked him away. Kakarot turned around, realizing the prince had just saved him from potential danger.

Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYFxgthkYF
Kakarot smiled.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BETvoR2Fy
Kakarot: “Understood!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgH4dgwkaL
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6flyRo7eS
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhKm4bTJf1
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWQndpixNd
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSiFWwNkBe
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2xbTWBGcu
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMF6HD40YA
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36f776f7F4
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWGRglSk9x

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzXuyaNXfR
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEIMjiMlPS

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMCo32SWhd
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtTxGyAWRv
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs01nqBjGu5
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpX52UZtCt
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jthhVQzcC
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsIP4Uinfu
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM67jsMKmC
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkpb48pAAp
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYRolwB869
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV18CNMCVqh
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV90Iv8Vaa
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdBNXhmhUg
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBvIV68JFI
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHGuSPsdYk

Kakarot: “I don't know what happened back there, but it was exhilarating! I never knew this is what it meant to be a saiyan.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMp3vvMFHq
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf9quEkMmJ
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0T7p67UiW
Raditz: “Why you!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTmgEjeINj
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSLoY5uaUN
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERV0MYr1DM
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYM9qVLgLZ
“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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe4HAo4dGx
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoyHeDiKHp
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYj4yw4ckt
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vUnXBXmtC
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJw9uxrXi3

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70n2OS1AGY
Doctor: “I will sir.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS88fvDE0BD
Raditz left the room. Kakarot rested for about an hour before regaining full consciousness. He stretched out his arms. His joints felt relaxed and more flexible than ever. It was almost as though his injuries had never happened.

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

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

Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jofWgiMxg
Raditz: “Cool it down a little. This is going to be a long process, we can't just rush into another planet without knowing if there's anything of value.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmcxyh8ESf
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC3cZzF3O6
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEW5uddc3f
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YaOfjwqIr
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDlUtWnja1
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj99hq6dwT
Raditz: “Of course not! Saiyans are born for so much more than that, we only mate to breed more warriors. I couldn't care less what happens after that.”

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLzgdzKrml
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGttq5ysxG
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tFAClIo7p

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQfb3FLQSt
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fWeZ4GE7j

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriL4ttDbbT
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.

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiCHKg84TB
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8gMI9xqUH
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vICtcejRY
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8WrEvkzGm
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NEfs8z7GN
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKBD2JBH8N
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNewZzyj0on
Raditz: “I will..”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0o0Q0izdk
Raditz turned to his comrades.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnUzxOi59t
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb30KwpDhLu
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHiGKAHJwb
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTPQfyO0Bt
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomeCLnL0LZ
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpWUxwrmZ2
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlaEfALBjC
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsRKpCFi35
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fl90GHE3l
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tutZQBEOx
Beet: “Okay!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnYrJRM7bR
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu98Bh5Src
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf8WUnoWVp
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v3BbtZdZn
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSwQe59sYK
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZumAhdA5Y
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMF4ZreSPb
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL7lcVcHZ7
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp1fj87gEd
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zs0ztfskm
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCG5cO8lD6
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlatT1Att4
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY05vH11Y6
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wda8oav4R
Beet: “O-Okay.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfLm0NcWfR
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWpFpCV2O0
Kakarot: “What happened?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7seigiQWP
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghY2wSIwcf
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU4iUewSsU
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK72wJSQhf
Kakarot: “Fine.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodZ7SWSu7w
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGE8OolKzU
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzNuWLEBXp
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaacmH25EI4
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSfi5af8n5
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9klruAv1Sd
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIzzLUBlAf
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqSyZfdb8b
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvcrPU0kRv
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9rw7MTaeK
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX7MQj4gT8
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGpXh2PuTq
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2D4endT9a
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3eM8SsdTx
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvysOuyj2y
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHJpjiZrDw
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIhp18U28c
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLFJKYr1Yb
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iqR48GN94
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbosX4k2rP
Raditz: “Understood.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCZxEbMrDz
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG4c6Gutn0
Raditz departed from the room.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e1He3tA6B
“Haaaa”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QWgwT0YRo
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuKU3nq7Jg
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrwgyNQbm6
Kakarot: “Right.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9goPjTRtBX
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d5XybiZ28
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqmD1BaG2p
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6JWdSu0Iq
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWXCIntgQC
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwC207DEwj
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbKBs8HU1C
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5O5wluhDC
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorvo9XHaf8
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq2HNskuEp
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqAP45kgOP
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBVSxlPDlZ
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlnvJdEcRS
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8VK1nCSJw
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW1Ka8l7z2
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhuD9rNtgc
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmAyPUbwr9
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMHJovFddA
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbtHYxvymk
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzFN7LcfEy
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRRNkQTRh7
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnCf6wE4bO
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCHNYjQbb0
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF0OVLrYhQ
Kakarot turned around.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBIXzPHOfj
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESAD3gLvSm
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdci2bBtge
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAsMQlBnXe
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFI2CvH717
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzpIWdfmSB
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3ObL6Vfya
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibuSaskuwU
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKxiOnL9KC
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HTkalaDG9
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpZS0Qve5Z
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPdXN5EQUa
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95alps3Wcy
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f0XDB7aZx
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxjuRoSZxk
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbADNeLiMJK
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQOsonyHS5
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEYaNhC5C0
Kakarot: “Right!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYrSLWhrVD
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a7tsHdum5
Kakarot: “Yes?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99rkPMu8Ru
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwC6pfv0H4
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyigORsHGB
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEurfAbTZhS
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxqBUld7ZL
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gqFnlksoJ
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXxQqFjoA5
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPe7koMFlu
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUbTFCJthY
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wB6deF21L
Raditz turned to his brother.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0lpOY4cx5
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseiTDynPuZ
Raditz: “Right..”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToxa7APsWb
Raditz took off with his pod.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIvcnYNzhQ
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9slKXGoFgi
“Let me take a look.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH0XRBZ4Dn
Beep! Beep! Beep!
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLEzrTj8Jp
“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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarXam585wx
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR5CPlfmSR
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsYnJyx4MG
He bowed in respect.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3kAuncV8C
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iTmKWSkp1
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjimnEwf7b
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaGqdWtoE4
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXYo4ZrTUK
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNyFgFrfIZ
Raditz: “As you wish.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpon5yiEhOp
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSchkH6CQM
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5pUZR4DG0
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMI5FJRyR1
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5UzW3ol8F
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR6hwEcCAq
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO91VBQHy9j
Zarbon took his leave.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFmg6SEHHt
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznHrLYIznN
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8oeWl6fJv
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8eDsobj0s
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66gj5AxrxA
Raditz chuckled.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuTWLSynLG
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPm1erFZAZ
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS3gjzPeap
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo6RzGnDrj
Beep! Beep! Beep!
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOssknRy8J
Raditz: “He's here…”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFcmygSDD2
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgPhybQ8fN
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcv2jpPxY2
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKwZnSRg7A
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV5FOx6E34
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSmQi1PnZ6
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgHmzaFsVw
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W2Db9GcW9
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZewUwUUzj
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy89uAfWh67
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ1yC2LACz
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHTOCTUQpQ
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h5DaqILQp
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XbbGqbMmd
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLxj43wGrU
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6e5Jh5UJy
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui6O0GRZRe
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W7cc3lCoU
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNvdXYNOpT
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9sRadBKU4
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxdJtoZ5a5
Raditz: “Damn it!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymwQBvJ83l
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgJf2vOyBU
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa9BENXl4g
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI6pmLpah7
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyZQZltOWt
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E8iaFjKva
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJihz6Pdwr
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XFee0PDPH
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk3cI6JEWh
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzp7HY2O5v
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr4FTUN19Z
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FNfvWQO1h

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB0Pnfyn8X
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqLhBmYWMg
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtKSHBlKC2
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeJBeSZZKs
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfLET48mlq
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF2IbMGeR6
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.

Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMHCZPZ346
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJz7ekpEqt

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8BVkpRhmu
Dodoria: “Why you!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhvQ509NOB
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY895S6aZJy
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxNqVSpmBe
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnRjjLknJC
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGDH4RHbPh
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h4qUyFHd3

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1inWk5Ep2f

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEtIRdIF0B
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfe2OMIfY3
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAzrzHKJMF
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLVIR8Ztsb
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5EsecssWh
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaKRa9PYji
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnISwGEC1uG
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lx2eR9IDA
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsYLLHxSmu
Vegeta: “Huh?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaJT6nPqus

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH9WGZIGGj
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZHhioS0Ou
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnYLXr2tGp
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMxC2xIY1c
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5E7qk2Cf4
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh069KbLHd
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tHNbvxCVt
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.

Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuyjY3foKf
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE5uC0g4dn

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzmR067wTe
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtSO8Q3QDC
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVcFlMtXGl
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrgk56r4tD
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2wl7meCTp
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u0CHFfzma

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvupo9eQ7n
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsF3NSZhN8
Frieza: “Y-You-”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HNZDSjAHf

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLjoILDmDK
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBCsI98nXK
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaVNrYoYHR
Kakarot: “Not again!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHknpfkh3o
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QwlPUSm61
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7we87aqBOQ

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv5MosPoOv
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL2XVlFNgs
Kakarot: “Look out!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjFkq6rOlQ
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAoWiIlabI

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfDnQfgj6h
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhNLqpM8Tz
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNElspUwzTR
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP8FOnI9H7
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTlcPCMzGw
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfag3OlVBs
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuuxFUpf59
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeMsX2kQtf

Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3npuh0mAE
Frieza: “You again!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB9f2C10pH
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHae03tbKRm
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2CkKm1iyE
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXDBdkB9Il
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveGfQSiRu1
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXgZKj4zhY
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjz9PHJysS
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL15g7aWap
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBno8Rmnk32
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVBmak5MWI
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinHUYHUYn2
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLT8xz1IxQ
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X4DNhAuyf
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIq4re1xeg
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6odcHuDfW
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnUCrPCcqA
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2CgJeMyGR
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlatb5pX4rz
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQixliJoD45
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdlRdIbMzT
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARickNebCp
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzuXoEAW4e
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjusBxLJpCh
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FIv3qWFhJ
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGyeGTq0mW
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRmEMyS22b
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnCo76PfTJ
“Haaaaaa!!!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6Um3QJu2M
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.

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzDKwJW9v4
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzuNVCxAzj

Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcPHOHMftb
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CYdDSK09Q

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5oyiEjZx8
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR29PpS9DFr
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna4Mvgz2lF

515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DJKbEoe5E
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”

Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITeXgTMtag
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2kraR8ZQP
Kakarot: “It's done…”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHok2R0vLnl
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8mSpISKAX
Vegeta ascended into the air.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwwdnrtLpK
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs69adRpnF6
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ki9YAy9zf
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4fM27uZLX
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzA1yj5eaI
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jRTuf916i
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZYuXse4ZZ
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMPfOyUSWH
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjs5rnwXyw
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP82vTedbF
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFArDyeKt3
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zqdfqvgje
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqqpaQP3UC
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMfUy3c3tR
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7pw24eb8x
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi7x01WbSO
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt7hy8yWfi
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL8FTcXvm0
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5ix7aQZly
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxboqyZMSe
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQwDYaLwWN
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9Gw6bDaRJ
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoos03hiYw
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ352m3CYbx1
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobi8a8ZFWb
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk62RHDnOy
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ56ivE4z45
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qSSY812mJ
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJwQps8LSh
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pqsQk2suM
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvDJA1kNx0
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwAjaTJoDk
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGyseLmXTf
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPvIHhJQ2w
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DatTtcrAg
He looked at his fist in shame.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TvH8xmwVC
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GDMVKx3iL
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR3cpNxHAu
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOdkmr6awT
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYiayOMs0q
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CiAnH1Wb7
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk7zohMzX8
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEslQoLiOO
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovIIYchqSa
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdGJfwoUEd
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv129mRQUoj
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhAPvRpXB8
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoGIRABaZu
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cNMn8LSig
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uf5I5PG6k
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..”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t0xXDHG9T
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PI4fYSGnr
Kakarot: “No…”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZuoZFP4xD
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYku5y9W8c
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbviOirJfy2
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5Cuo7ppfc
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqI6WX3qI0
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aSD1LrLAH
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhUOaxxHeF
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx3IShH3Iq
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hW7FvTj2o
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaKolbwib8
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV94gDgHJv
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe8JiA8U6k
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofMPmBJEbW
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGcmcIJ19k
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHJpBRBjyr
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkdM6JALPB
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G2ur6ghdy
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWF2L7xfUr
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZeUB76TyF
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo715SChq0
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2St8Z5DY5L
Raditz bowed down in respect.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6PniiIsNv
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSqTyJl6WS
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2BGJqv8Bv
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1JnmUjNyx
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ayNaa7qj7
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa8nOnsAtl
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxEmoO0fQd
Raditz: “Right!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlfrnuR69W
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvgKZvosgP
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKGZttgNYQ
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDTCzxjjwA
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjwBQAo5Vr
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE2ENhwpmd
Tears ran down his face.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOG7tp9aYo
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?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekowpQjCB5
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIZa3lreFs
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylUjtiivs4
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkq2T0ynES
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO9oV3dAfu
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOUCQileN0
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7hyJlL0Me
Raditz smirked.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVrGx2mz6O
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLatV2tXTWY
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQizsEcce4
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNI5018ycG
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p8mTEgEFH
He pounded the ground.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7XikmIPXY
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6prHGzSexX
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshmguvWsjG
Kakarot: “To fight!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdVN5xv9yM
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNH3wxocxB
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPGEGGOxYA
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBq1TYxdOX
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVP6bMtC5U
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIipI67ivm
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP2Guo4DxG
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rZYlSHoRw
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2suWLqlJn
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!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQZrnsQ79M
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.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ5z6hMeGD
Vegeta: “Wait!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zqMkh0KGf
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.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGclel0Pcg
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHHEpn6tmy
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr91c0nX2r0

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

Shenron: “As you wish."
