Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGhlPlqAyI
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcktDAvZ1t
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW8NQaZnWQ
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i8J9DytFV
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytWOoKF7FK
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnPpvPV2vr
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBuC3WJugP
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B7XP4ti0t
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcx0f3bvr1
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogjJBKmyLP
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pzW9OBTk5
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNOkPAFo0s
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0BRRE380K
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL0TvQZBa5
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNCkXCxIIs
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYcXvftR4x
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wq0mXOo27
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nZWhAEIpJ
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.

“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pqhLioFn2
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4G8S7ILN7
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DggYKuCFW
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlowJy1BpCu
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cfuyeWVVS
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrtKIl6z7a
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzGp1UBHD2
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiJqrqI2ut
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PcGcJ8BSm
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7kV09z7Fz
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9ZrhfCwDK
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFISMoXWP40
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmo6WPnRrj
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFi7ghzxD5
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4FGhL4eCt
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViDkCcLDUR
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tB186EIRO
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gAxD3m44p
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT2VtwOqYQ
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSHxTUH0f9
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYNCMmFs3V
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzisBKEEenw
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTM5y0E0SI
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ9RiGBIbG
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpqEHan8YE
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGVP3nQxof
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaswkoZsRND
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaha4B11Jms
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZifs4EbECv
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIggk4pBEYR
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNe68YJrOV
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre46cJyj6s
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFLBTjVtRy
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ448GEOrkt0
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngi84Nxaal
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9CDMdZJhz
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQErtjqiu8Z
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoJltrGMdE
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxPeESpwWu
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kVOwQSO7t
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZtVUPQROd
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qWaH5Wpx0
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk93BT8BAIK
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekVOD1wGeX
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fNu67D0pt
Beet: “Haaa!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yNAgdmVVp
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlKKplbXYF
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx1UYxzfCD
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiFRSX6w7l
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZKoqqIBLd
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eBuWmOYQg
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6Xsc88LdF
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-”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw8pFXiauo
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0A0suzthB
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyPhTX7IHe
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYrse4eprR
Kakarot: “Enough”!
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduvpPicwKh
Beet: “Huh?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfUlMXLhJL
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIFifetVjo
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71vqdtgqOj
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemZrRDS2Io
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfTdlIpDjO
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgVQ5qORrs
Beet: “Right!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOc8QwWl65
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzv4VbfkqE
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0THv9Mglk
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XzNVwtKo0
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvFEnlq0gc
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoVnQhFycC
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTcXd1dI29
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XRMtgQSnz
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj3ibYvb2i
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSFk6V60PF
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR475DraYH
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppv5lBiGkh
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sR7tGInsr
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30qmLYA4Y4
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEnf6MwqF4

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8j4VvqEdU

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4qkjrQ4N9
“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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04BhP4wst9
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8OcGeYnt9
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG5PQphfXN
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SZ1XKJE2P

“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt34j1eE1sk

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvAcSl0RA4
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwfyt5M7nA
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRzdvTtePB
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8r1NPR8ML
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.

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR40W7wgLI

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxDB46i03E
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNVKK9C1sH
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyS2cgZk31
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDYte877sg
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6p8MeFTwh
Bulma chuckled.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8WEWl88xW
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNLGkAyCKI
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C33q64KpE

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa3B2lRaUj
Beet: “Momm!!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmWZGLJ4UI
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iN45L12IM
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21lSaHu1uD
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5CmqpwhY2
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FsdQtbHho
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePYnCgb1JQ
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwREMivxit
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlcK7ZRvmx
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD4TwaTgZY
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYnEKN5ACn
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmErko1NxKe
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5e4Tt1kLM
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lRKE8c0wP
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRWm9d8wIW
Kakarot: “Enough!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTlM5nc3QK
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUhG7w22Ki
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqu7ugmynT
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwLlsaWQah
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnRTEuYSEO
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpKIDgpdYd
Beet: “Sir!!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2mb75Epgj
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xAAKBDYs6
Bulma: “Beet!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiZcXmlrtw
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLIYLH8any
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFsq76quDM
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLG5pM23lm
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAABzIZXSRE
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJOcqwHqnI
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJWILPxbQ9
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFKX0VcepP
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiTm7ZIEOY
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3x10ZsvTU
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgSc1Z6apo
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATo4LYJHOE
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE17ogUEK8h
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZnFS1bpFU
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5Wvew04z6
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6Ft59L8TF
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuVK4MG6TR
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf369ezgLG
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGP74zmFhx
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk824G5UCW
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I3nhDMtQG
Raditz: “You have my word.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0d40ueUJk
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5zZmfZaFL
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpTW8QTFUq
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpFwkco9HK
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK8paEJo9n
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSweReOjAng
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?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpJ4MS6RgT
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZO98xzOwg
Raditz chuckled.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuES49PKxGk
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZbJbv2oo9
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKZgrkKN82
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hH8wEeyjS
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09EP87JIzW
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG27tV56Jnl
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVf7XhbnTU
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ1YIJjILN
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzIMhVPaoS
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAWqibkfnT
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8ArLynXgh
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkPz9L8WAM
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICb7WCuHsX
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjicSNcfSKr
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK98Fydvq61
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHpGEqk8DZ
Raditz took a deep breath.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjlRlmIkZ9
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYJtzSArcS
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEp0UdGlXB
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQrifLTJzR
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrXsdnbt6Z
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdw7hQcUfX
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?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm2Ek1ZNrZ
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYahsh25awZ
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iVJiBP48l
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOnX8XzguC
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnnjONJtnm
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLyHg3Rphd
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cWFnZZHoh
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEQzfFq7AT
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?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOssjgGATqS
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsOjIKfa21
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEFn5tX2Lt
Kakarot: “The prince?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QzJzbDZ2K
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kHdq0dkuG
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ2UlTzFDj
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?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT7IJpDLxu
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3QM90rJ6S
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFRxJUkg2r
Kakarot: “….”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V76KPLQiQ
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMmXZLX0YE
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnpb9UiWry
Bulma hesitated to reply.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LrEX45sX6
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZkdA1nvLQ
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs1B0WCOVY
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9OyFMX8gL
Beet: “Sir!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpbMPM6HSs
He came face to face with his father.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvBVcnBUf6
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMAD1Dzdfe
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8zOkQoMf5
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbGnPrgr4r
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVcgPhsf4W
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywWNzNTZFn
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlH5JKPqRT
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkTg0SqWWt
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gBnIVz5sF
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBjfKn1sI1
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCmAUwBGgg
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrxoGbrxVG
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nOlpmXhAv
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjato6CixfW
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.’
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqCI7TshwK
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89hdgiB8rX
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsgfOccsNz
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTh3CWoAQX
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUrUeDXLCA
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1fYmPeWBy
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPcQcfFTva
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZctbXnMJdV
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gTeUQFR4b
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0TlDxzWq9
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWzyZ2hary
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOuuwbj2Ru
The prince hesitated.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oDnb4xyxY
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv99pTmfTc0
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SoUwfbS3Y
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUmyZhYTtr
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaxZBXJHM2
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSVK4If34R
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhA52k6Lqo
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihBRFKdsE2
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m9BM1MyzW
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PHmorYQvK
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HTfFrphXr
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaU2PAkvdt
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlafShAaj8v
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNepAbhgByg
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLilbIVgvQI
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwubUxUs81M
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ142fj7Nqhr
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqxJKIa95W
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrNPdVoegn
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn7wwOEsmA
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7ZMm3gJkc
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOJSB36vwM
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVmGs2mnhx
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1qDbzVUCE
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?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1SlUFW4vq
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBn4BcApVB
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfaj5Ryw6Z
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1caPG4Ee0
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xTamXzyDS
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIbUR1pX2v
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?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzS4kFwPsK
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DskPRcAMS
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkHOtucD8y
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiKvmhpQdf
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlws0YTPwk
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?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgom09Jipw
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6wEfkvpVP
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsx9333BFc
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4kD2WyBJe
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRF2Upzh7E
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ01PQdyVU
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorjw5OiHvI
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGuISKO9Pg
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSuIGJBexx
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57E2G9lTwZ
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?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FFt9MurhL
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK15n9yL3S
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RqnD8tEso
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFiVJiuBAe
Kakarot: “What was that?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU3qw9K7vO
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvcb361p4S
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?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVglxRTPPCL
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgr4x45nHw
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvjt5a1SWN
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrvmsB2MoP
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C2BrPCA06
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKLgayImvB
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP8ijJZwCM
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFILoVBFNfR
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N6M0JFFxX
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1ta3Jy9mp
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BfeR2rpel
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91urXBR5c3
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsYSQtCzL7
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO4U2EXAh2
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY9waHHdhY
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAcsRdNig2
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQdhFtm6dK
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF4cWDPAjb
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHeHhamPO0
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenbqu4OrsJ
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEAMHw9YMk
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbmkDYB5Hn
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeLhrpIfFt
“Your foot is on my tail!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr5J5t1cpA
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIRYcFHWiH
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHpHleXKDR
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyCpOOpE9j
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOeNujV4sL
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYYThEcJUO
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SAlxwhAm6
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWjUErEIxK
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8ygdUjtUn
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfr66UVmH1
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?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIkS1oEw4F
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn3H4rjBoz
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobrAwC35vg
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIM8XhmoLs
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRC2ycACjz
Kakarot smiled.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wYiEhY1yh
Kakarot: “Understood!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8jf7e3IjT
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nco7LaG77
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdq0pN6Ius
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4CR7UEtuv
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh0UWu3BdQ
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUm645pWqO
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiaSFN4DAA
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUzfo49IDi
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWvgI9WKGz
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWx7CI3IP0
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt71pANuIoc
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIcqI63C08
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFB1vgowfe
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlODxnwRl3
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.

Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVf0tpE3cy
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCUwVojuU2
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe49PK5v0F
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkYzBgwWOk
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDPeyKE6N2
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncfwX0hCwO
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOWGV7Su05
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIvUrhrcNY
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnaSxVjzhU
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlCmkenMKO
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0jzv8qYNP
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ987HxZqbT
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnzjG6U9T4
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD8x6yBDjW

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmLMUmG6J8
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42eiTTwvYL
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDupatKzGBn

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmeoZL1Fke
Kakarot: “Huh?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYcxMXHPe2
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDcFSiURKf
Raditz: “Why you!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJtvwOG2Sv
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRPmGJHICQ
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTlxesRwpS

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85McRDUV87
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4IGJseDeR
“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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmsBrdZf2f
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvOTAt0H7L
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?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGl8BPIRba
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFCME0itGe
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSrv5hR4FY
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5T69pTX5Z
Doctor: “I will sir.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzfsdtGAnT
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt1IHEJYNK
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDgZmx8upF

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TdywsqLxr

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5uWsciHQm

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk2XcfgNF8

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW9JAqtq2x
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkxc796LYA
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSrSU9L8KQ
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEcW6DWl1T
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULLyV848gT
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?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPR152zsjd
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4iOo8rHMO
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmlhY6fMDH
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHPJkekgHA
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuzRGiTLGi
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWvK8LLboX
Bulma: “I'm not convinced, we've achieved peace and yet you insist on bringing the fight back to us. When does the violence end?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8nR7FVNcW
Kakarot: “When we win.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx1HSSiqPi

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLzjYLBAYB

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecia7w0Auh

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh0S0CG22n

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjEGNL7hOb
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY3v7G87TL
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7DIkGaqDv
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NOnSXdPJR
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf7jHWkRLf
Kakarot: “They'll be fine. Humans tend to fear what they don't understand. Our family won't cause any harm, they're here to help this torn planet. You'll understand when you're older.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B5rEwtZ0G
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZUjc2RMeU
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3B003Sa3D

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ19O05B5J3
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKz2SVUDTR
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!”

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhowbTjxnsg
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyfZbENjM3
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV7z2BcJPd
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTQZWc00nS
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPITCVXbru
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiLCPnyzv1
Raditz: “I will..”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPfyTW1275
Raditz turned to his comrades.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKs4rx9Y9H
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCktCG0m8Pe
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWqwuvVI5x
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RARDgdQaq
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyF5G0s6zL
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhfTRlPCni
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfjlHa1o1r
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxrjWCR0RQ
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaXqHrJrSf
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcoyGRYMc9
Beet: “Okay!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavXm9jrS1n
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwOJnleFnK
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWVdi1xPAc
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vzzJSkt0Y
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDjolsUfra
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNNyCZAs76
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzQ1wsC9sC
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL94XfL86z
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6yYtFcjPf
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxeMnV9WFE
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiEyCxcnSM
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sFQn6t4yA
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAjGQt3eWI
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQggR2aNG5
Beet: “O-Okay.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi4irCBEuS
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukExzeAh6j
Kakarot: “What happened?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCmGaWPlae
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzmTQ4NQ75
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V9R64yXmC
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqS9ETj78O
Kakarot: “Fine.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE9W3Oa9zp
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3PTpr6hnU
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLNMELzZ9E
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdHPPtwvOU
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKMcF1MzS9
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcBhRc8rr0
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ef2TetA1r
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1DSQRZdI7
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov6Cw015Rn
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wrGKl43l5
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGsFpcqhCj
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhqR38jfxA
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVgajdKw73
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFBfo4Ybo6
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGhqAthLr0
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHc0E4trid
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXQNtrMarN
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjCbdTwrNa
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4jerYyg1G
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp50gBxv1oi
Raditz: “Understood.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRxrrchLce
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoQQY2s0Ib
Raditz departed from the room.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7ArebR34t
“Haaaa”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1fmsLnr6V
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTtalslAqS
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jX2Owa68F
Kakarot: “Right.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8UYqseIhN
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicnpCVTKfz
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3QCC5A75Z
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyGIBb4AnJ
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkmP5MzcOZ
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIxQADQKmV
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApuhLIsQrO
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4pCvb3qJO
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwSegKFeIi
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY7ZhBF8pv
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rHnb4ZF6i
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ534w8L65wN
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KTQCTbv0p
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT8jnRTj82
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgV4sBfGYp
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4hIsqzZWT
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzDUMb8mY0
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNUPH57CkE
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCbRmygnO3
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKFG9mTbx4
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBJX0GBKai
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjqq0OMrEm
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJRi6Cg36e
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Cb62WNrDA
Kakarot turned around.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwdFWNQXTG
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GQGjBoCyV
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEVIpNUZTI
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?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd8oPo8uLi
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhkMdmNRR4
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9wZr1bagG
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WspAitf3r
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYvFDkaf5v
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pg2zdUwzX
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMtZLIzGqv
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5U1h9nok3
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7HTg6gacH
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90xXA2jJsS
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZXjXscDSn
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmi1hvGsp8
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8adOlyfsS
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITP724sPDt
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiOX6Hl7O9
Kakarot: “Right!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYoxErmsqS
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFCHQh3pRT
Kakarot: “Yes?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGd3rup6Cq
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhXjyJIYRO
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgC491vajm
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfImLzA2C1C
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NApeDrhfY
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQHVGrgLNK
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsad4dEH2kh
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhChIVtPeC
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGLf2cXuEz
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtM1rFu92E
Raditz turned to his brother.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZwJ1eq6o3
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBFLkXqsIh
Raditz: “Right..”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2YxCHdEsm
Raditz took off with his pod.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivFr0p0N1W
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQxdotxshv
“Let me take a look.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbkF9j0Sa3
Beep! Beep! Beep!
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XABabwPXJ
“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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYIL5J1KHG
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzzqTZQITv
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0OfafA624
He bowed in respect.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslu40ZCMVJ
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3SvidAj6O
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uKLlK0h7s
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrxGfLE3GB
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMkJ1GkqrI
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxpevB40h2
Raditz: “As you wish.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWiblC1CSw
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmxKXpO3We
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqY4QuI2Ua
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwtKvPIlM2
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmgltycdfD
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78EiuXsVHT
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURr79Yrz5c
Zarbon took his leave.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxrcpWWg1N
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRvdVq8J7o
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWhjcMbIjP
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYtJ5Qwskx
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPjFu6YGgX
Raditz chuckled.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE9Dn35Roq
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvfnxpPiou
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSvWFpZDJU
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiG5EJVCsS
Beep! Beep! Beep!
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceFfEXd3sK
Raditz: “He's here…”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf710KrsQz
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMfIfO5HDa
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbbqlGkroP
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogr4GYr372
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXks2SHqCJ
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE7o2qF40m
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZyioBWrjN
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQo4vTEnvW
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmHslmEHRo
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXoFoo26lG
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBuXtqVaob
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftxWG9XrQc
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5NtVVYtjW
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK56s1iwrnm
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRjpbCdaO6
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0lJhkCMt3
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMAn5l8d3J
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRILs6h3SAM
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWC9lF7vzc
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QljsIJmiX
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbsT58C0JU
Raditz: “Damn it!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQKGZRpdFf
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWeHBjF9ZB
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc23js0qSxM
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmhaY6XJfO
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVF0rmFJ5Z
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Rqxruwrb
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vIXRFyPSJ
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQZ9HMP5if
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0t8A5DaFY
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiIqFe13KU
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NE5XhNOne
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKEhPhTRmS
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNA2YvnQsi
Beep! Beep! Beep!

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgZImZ9AD5
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOFQWs0aLD
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fWoKa04n4
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF3201ozK8
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zGsGOGI30
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1bO3rOWuB
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinRvkK5Cob
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HguIEGtel

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBOa08Vjwe
Dodoria: “Why you!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzjpahKGh4
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdNlFryMay
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvawy43P31Y
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsuqSRSAQf
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjQsCbkE8P

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNHzPC7zE0
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlUdkn3L9t
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnhcV7N1tJ
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAs61MoCiT
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtlkibOoSm
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkZWHapYI8
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1H4spXL27
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHAzOfKG0y
Vegeta: “Huh?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZiL1DCcQm

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT3hAqyufA
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkVx3i9X9V
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz7nEnJjLs
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBILEAjDFFY
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMJg4cwVfs
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynFa5GefaB
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvivP6H0YJ
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLCkeWCRUw
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixIdlMd13F

Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7z4c57k9q
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa33Fr018N
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3R8N2rVbE
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEZSG0ati3
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZSeEixLMj
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxGqxM30ju

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9x6EFoJ4X
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwr7PDgKZC
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFyHmMduYi
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2HJKrFmL4

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkrdOt0lwP

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTpAI69b28
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49pbTegrys
Frieza: “Y-You-”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMywDJdWon4

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmr9AhTTsy
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN61BaSaq1j
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYbu4l9u3o
Kakarot: “Not again!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCAroJd1hE
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLorSqybYvU
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mjv5HEm6O

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpRgH4L0Ql
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23lSKcydJO
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFLVYs09xP
Kakarot: “Look out!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vk5WZ8GVG
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX38peqtjc

Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo28tLG5slZ
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGuwPzQAkP
Kakarot: “He gave his all simply for a better chance at securing our victory. The least we could do is give nothing but our all to the very end!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP72DEjwoRX
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJdt8MOsM9
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywPUfsXAzN
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQpKYzq2ve
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGGVk0chmo
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgQTinsSCw
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGBAAHGdkw
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHjYiWodmO

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr0i8E3QC4
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xdc2bbOaV
Frieza: “You again!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjY1SxzG7q
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EqGee4UAi
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmk05mCakf
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdE2Q1mMyT
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75TfHyYkqA
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkAbg6MZPM
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA2Vv0u0xN
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRjM74lhBi
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvVh6llX2t
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhs3SrXed7
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaN0q4sMbN
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3QPDiqFCN
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYV1qnpNf4
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhorfG9aye
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoKUUxdrI4
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM56zhO06fW
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvaaXVFo3D
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYduPszmCHF
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIU0KsKAao
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwpTs5wQmb
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL1yyJv13h
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZRUfudsqb
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWqYR6AucN
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoVwt5oI0u
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65vN9U6JVg
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPkfRAHGiR

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFJ2X5lWq4
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcGSFC9hkJ
Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi90hlhsVm
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinRrfhlIPw
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZfVwGWNZH
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvUBv7l2uI
“Haaaaaa!!!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtV5c3xBfd
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuEGEIidDK
Raditz: “We actually did it…”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxDPzTiMr7

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypeZYDLluW
Before he could react, Raditz was struck by a mighty backhand from Kakarot.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAnydxiTAb
Kakarot: “Rrrraaaahhhh!!!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAg7ADPZdU
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvmsVQJc2F
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ0kXWNmrK
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JXN0LQozv
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGFg5BA3zO
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUm5HDv1J3
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0RXMCwkvg
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49dutY5wBu
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgMWKQhp0F
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi2g6S06N8
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC0caUCVIJ
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUYx7zeNzA

312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxZKj0nwyf
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsSqSlvjt3
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd8et0Ft69
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”

Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqtGwInDTu
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfA60XIf0z
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ4UTYPlPq
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6uDRhvLiX
Kakarot: “It's done…”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kEjwdxSuG
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw48Wg3q3M
Vegeta ascended into the air.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8VexnEryo
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk10hz5npCk
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04WPrD6x4x
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzS3f2K5at
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTUnOWJhlA
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjYPnuWQjb
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOBLzEBp3W
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTNvi1682Q
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPy05cQwUK
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MX0IDbJGE
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OPj0ayfZ5
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodAcnBF5CO
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6zyya9Vui
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte7qGlx6Be
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhEkXK9mPl
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T1sfQjwEb
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbi21xTeLm
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6ISclEAh5
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qE90mbbKb
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIndQXGa0C
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZMEhqAPoi
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeF77cFWLf
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIetUo4q9ub
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs9MAurxcR
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBaBGjhkgu
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXTQMaKtRF
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjGyOdIX4n
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlIc0Iea4i
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSRWeSjQcd
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqUZnAua2N
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikMizFXqbY
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcF706f6eQ
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKodj9Lvsrd
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E1QnnwrLw
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v2aktv4Pm
He looked at his fist in shame.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi7SGo2kZv
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3igHdKpPkW
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSN8onEYeL
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTxDObkfTo
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W6itT9tjJ
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIxJwSgKoD
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxoBdsE1S8
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD373fYLks
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZPZgkx3X4
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD7nyHJG1e
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS2FeJoG5m
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0x7OBUlwa
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq351xMAKq
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdq8srkZn8
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNfOzslBuN
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..”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS31RlSjkI8
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KDC9LNM1t
Kakarot: “No…”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJK9hE9uiX
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUpAT580GO
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QMqaRrpCl
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z5LhW6uKd
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQVJ6qAc2Z
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AC41Jjh2D
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleNfwqSEuq
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux2zawMVyM
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Df5v8MdTG
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7wuhNdEnV
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1HyRwLkLo
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipyRkQJJea
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1M9WCL5bD
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz9qN4oo2G
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVshe8yQdQO
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG7c883KEh
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxr6QhbgRU
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGg00MMFgP
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKNUfjyNQF
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShA9NNkVIr
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzHzeSCqwl
Raditz bowed down in respect.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EEBBafWZI
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEpN49YtAt
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpgSlj5PHr
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcrzDhyQm8
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcmlepTTsc
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9RzVCSAic
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvDXUqst6f
Raditz: “Right!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo0EWqgBz4
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkRJebAbcp
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Br8bBCqNS
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YNWkxvdDo
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGjakix9Om
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcRBKoxtcT
Tears ran down his face.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxtq6GTG3J
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?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZNIElrT4G
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNxNlA6bnm
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG13QuHWjn
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20RDub9ias
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRTs2m9xwq
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPjzxNGxQQ
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoJRjbc67v
Raditz smirked.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gDrcE6KRF
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYquyStri1
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMaSQ40XmC
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgkBK2EZis
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37aVTrDY2Z
He pounded the ground.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwlk6xBsDv
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYPVdXWy4A
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8ZqrKqpdC
Kakarot: “To fight!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptSGmXBD5g
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eko7NZbEl
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktHSRBOTIX
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSwF6nJjNv
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkP962kNQB
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFH0sed8vh
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQPtJGBITM
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQagO6eY8WS
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GPHk8NbQD
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!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLGfn6t1lc
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.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt7FMFtVCY
Vegeta: “Wait!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D7Iq1quMI
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.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHajweTEfFf
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1T2hzIstt
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdcvYybHaR
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiSsOrjes4
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90RCJWah3y
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZJqGoVtjK
Shenron: “As you wish."
