Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ6M1Smq8I
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj5xyLESUH
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2irxFLASn
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX5G8ti7bR
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLgqIehkqy
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUPbGxrFAX
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aqz7BzkmL
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRDtO29gie
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IzyDm6xJI
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsoePTJOld
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp282sEOOvM
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ11MFfILf
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHJCdcQYUU
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqimVF8KEu0
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9iJz5EBLM
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyA5mVq3Me
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigwmL8IONN
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUJxiMUclp
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNr3yraGZZ
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUihCvtocXp
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltOwAymRJa
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8ljCi4IpI
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFkEVIUuV7
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk07RuIB5BE
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu4QWS9Efo
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKlQ8MEV4Y
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJoLfzk4m7
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqMqTpPKZB
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC3xqLGZ0U
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPQhQeLAdR
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAtUFOAQfZ
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gx9f02OwG
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOz7wLwJSD
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYbmL151Xl
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWIY6u0kPI
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3qbiazM1v
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSUfac8EUZ
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU4YaBOyxu
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVT3SGYwrQ
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki4scMzsfh
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1jC0HNT7H
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZBvOp89pw
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzatyORapj
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAajngmsqY3
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam2QaBOQNu
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9hs4Bmlui
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPRlSCJaN6
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO9aNAVjc3
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFSJnj1K9o
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe2E885WYo
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexDz6VpNq5
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HEE5FY3rE
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqmo4u7aFO
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjl4QkiMJm
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9J2O2LBHH
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyYITnBJQk
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vak4UV8Qf
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXvpG1Ypqz
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaKlBKE06O
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G9h2ZtVkO
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNup7exOrE
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXuenOLAza
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQYhrZxwCz
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LvzRkOOjU
Beet: “Haaa!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Md1rVoVlA
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRMzMsEPGz
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4wD7mfU0G
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeMlxT55oA
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKFVonfYTt
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85B85bKnSv
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP9rj5mIlx
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-”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSCMpRIkRM
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFseR5lvqV
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWvWZT2egH
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2smJZQ3x4
Kakarot: “Enough”!
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a02YE5ZM2
Beet: “Huh?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtcHVN0hZP
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKyDSCcEDI
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdG6Or7GpX
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSol0nEI0Ya
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9NhkIxWpm
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGqhGDsOgg
Beet: “Right!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghXi7E6ORB
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOZm9GJGT6
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXahcdGakUt
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO33I414b6
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD0CDV8UXW
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnShXsXglD
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeV9EWpE0w
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg1ktsxSeA
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFgE7sTjjb
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy1ZHFAUNz
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb3qPQd7I9
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hEB5rJYti
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9RwXPAeFu
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKUyShDce7
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9eBCzsnlk

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

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX2gAedOJX
“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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZIjTqeCyR
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rpQ9RC8ZL
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZKDVsqLAJ
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6fQ48Bo01
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.

“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9iM80ebp1

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFuDoyRr06
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwZXGkoMnZ
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lUT5qyMjl
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N1aHjUi8I
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.

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5mnfZd4Fp
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLNLCFEPZI

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYOcT6R1Py
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpfbzMk7V3
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ily1VhJMZ
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpKK6DqXqy
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrVBRDuAsl
Bulma chuckled.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexhu7bkGas
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI4PWo4wEu
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt2rIpBFdq

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE89mdNsEO

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wDsE9NPQ9
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpyO2SKQXa
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUzRX7QaI6
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4cUJ9bPl9
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmKaOhV1bx
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUglAK8mXS
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWGoE0uGRw
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOywkahU38
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP6AOjTVjC
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDVepvsFkC
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cdxrMh3Hd
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNFIq2fZn0
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZO1dD9qit
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl6gNSGLmz
Kakarot: “Enough!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVivyvewy2w
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeagwPOH2k
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYfDhBk9UT
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyQYbECACX
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz1r47AJKL
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT61XdFNcN
Beet: “Sir!!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Ca7tB9Nu
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiHRz5GEsG
Bulma: “Beet!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOTRDzUSSN
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl1eIZsfcj
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiZaFHForw
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCiqylXfaI
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3QvzQYRrO
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtKJL3euwv
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjY7AEapVY
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBCKOsrniy
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukGy10UIcv
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?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ53oEVGqc
Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”

Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7pNuYkEoT
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7G01Lb6ij
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEtKi69EiS
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwklj7XuNM
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z3pm2hz0J
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL4h9CLHsB
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWavR3H12L
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv8bBV1Vi6
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGW0sEktSS
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUcoS5FQwW
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtavb4wDPxQ
Raditz: “You have my word.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxYqlQJ8H2
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXRGJ3QDBW
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aqFISSUrM
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY73L5Sq8T
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniBm9GwYTw
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0fd0NrwZd
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?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8nvBA5cpq
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0mRg5FRtU
Raditz chuckled.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8MbDwDL0m
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFBXVrEwJU
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOmTd71z9d
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqwpxTwMor
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBgwoc4fhv
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkacP9uZAWh
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjcLWZCEO0
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL9JbI29QV
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUP0gm8rqE
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGBUdWAn4C
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXHzUaTfQ1
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizw2kS4RLU
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf4Nsm7akZ
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0f3rpFv7k
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgP1pThvGm
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU0g9zJIn1
Raditz took a deep breath.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbOPfQ74P6
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarxX0714Eu
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng73qadnOG
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBfhsdIfoj
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J01AG0bvH
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUbvui85DY
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?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1FmOTUM20
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntRqC5FAFr
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfQ0RKXK8l
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUEeQ4KHGO
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM2fTkUcBQ
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qLlezeqYS
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYNxSjcWwj
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeZ1hTRGtU
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?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheZIoNP8XN
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmP8q0C4Fj
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucm0oxCNiL
Kakarot: “The prince?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7TAicbZyd
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl208Tcl0S
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFyRnbILM1
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?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBVJBKRaL2
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk05IN4F86K
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0pden23bS
Kakarot: “….”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yD98LtWWp
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4zC5m9dLw
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXl4ZqB9E3
Bulma hesitated to reply.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ6WgOh8a6
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7FCRbzL4P
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKfwrSXgPn
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICcim1hJsF
Beet: “Sir!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbaQHIt53z
He came face to face with his father.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEglMM9Lu6
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrHrtnagq4
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimsNbFPqtX
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlp1gXOohm
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi9qKJZmc6
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrbz1Edo0D
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiiavNBXvG
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF5UqitGhh
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mZPDUX2Qg
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMMB8G7TGB
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ShaXjHy9W
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ0ZsGGSH0
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYRbPq2TLz
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexo3WV1kQM
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.’
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7XFVb7GHf
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFWtrjPgn3
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByVIq7e8wu
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3qyJSzImc
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLp8uhEVNm
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wuIK8GEp8
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzor3uxHJz
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWfJV9ch7K
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolUhzlkDgK
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVMLpW6U7M
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNdW6YJbfY
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxol2ojGR8
The prince hesitated.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ2LI5DLe1
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3elXjxwtCk
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUG7kbxYTk
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7tAPC2xeN
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScJeL8pK8o
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjT18LHxFl
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gNHztonyr
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWPZKqDe4G
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjPF7NBUqK
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFX8qXnEoL
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkGaVzKfRi
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEUj7leVxJ
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZSq6hW8QZ
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqUgZVGQZV
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyp5fslEGV
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI9638cuEN
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0solqsGxe
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB6e32hVlz
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS29IPBvuc
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzALCxa5y1
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEgxlIX2Kh
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPOZgR6MFW
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3sgjT6GuC
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA5qpfNIPd
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?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyo6wtZG5W
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFWvls7qjo
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtCZgJh7Pi
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI8orz9g5V
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RUPhmydmT
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW85EyDNzE
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?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtbzsEy5BX
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy0RThFc3Z
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRKMAUBNh2
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2yf3OIpsY
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuiYSK5nsg
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?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0TpJbl8hp
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pXTys9veR
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ5uVKSJvd
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc01h8GClD
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14tRvYraa5
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMNDQfPkXC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIFYFjog8i
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbWi3JAfpb
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPSqdW3Pcz
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqBnXpzo8j
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?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpVc3DV03T
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsMdxTeWcO
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaejisEVLA
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PQQSgrfT8
Kakarot: “What was that?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0BnCYf7mt
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocchIXnAsj
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?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1bEmmLz5S
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYUoXRx5Nk
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsvXZ3XAfG
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ihIEkUgMS
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡairRIAGJMG
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOyXQowIif
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmyaVDW8ka
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEPBT4Guhw
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pzTjWaSdf
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtBFNdEw3G
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcDTI6NyAP
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9QVPEhcZF
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYwFnoxdbh
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmUBjJ7v8n
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblfu9tp69N
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjKX8WLY7X
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQWtapoemo
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQNVY9v1tG
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4IE13zfh9
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNJGTnE5KC
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iWGGABa4i
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOR3470Ta6
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFIKB0bOAs
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyeUZTgniI
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZy7K2oD5j
“Your foot is on my tail!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhnUVdwHxu
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKYTCSWtkf
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYLSW1F1CH
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdg5Ulgq1Y
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMbrihreWs
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62pXFhYKrx
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftdZ37USbQ
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCvgS3fkvZ
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi2Rmh2IHp
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ7Hs6ZVQ4
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?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxdtW2vTvu
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1gIj34nqr
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h2AmrCK4Q
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mpxbMjgZg
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQa4PjvXYW
Kakarot smiled.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfxPY1pfSr
Kakarot: “Understood!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7NpgGYcur
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4rB1HEDMe
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNgr8TDydH
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLpKdRqz4c
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJaYt7Wuik
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUd52qXq1I
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6axsYqD9i2
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CZlT9AC9O
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgm4kTjDKw
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Hu80jl6l

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AGZ3dAImY
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lI9jdejYv
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5C3BXERw4

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR7iaCSWiA
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G1cGMHWkb
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi7nlptl82
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsZtP5DQsu
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nw9Mm1Y8S
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.

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhE3d6UwWn
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG52EHXL4v4
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraUqbSQQHy
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoNUW3zokq
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobSIgVd2qA
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaSMMk26NY
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VWyc2757J
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRjeGXzVWv
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4xsavGLQF
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ6hWDKQuX
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsDtP7r30D
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjoxmJH4E5
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6VYsqVeSR
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPilv9xFWhc
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVRtsc4KoY
He took a peek at his injuries.

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbuGG14oHG
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdmKsFUcsA
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAKdGN7u0S

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwhcxMINMx
Kakarot: “Huh?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqr9xJu7Mk
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqvWgHwyPF
Raditz: “Why you!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMi4Sg26jO
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9ja0dXtNQ
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeO38USBr3

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ66ok6azZm
Raditz: ‘Right!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3kl8MY7lH

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SXjQ8bvo0
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs8ulvV7Sg
“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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp82qxBZCxw
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYjhGCUVUA
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?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0wXRhdFA4
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQwnTvUTxv
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLQr5Bonhn
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9hEwyek2h
Doctor: “I will sir.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpvjNc0TTM
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3QqRUdYtk
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMhJ0gnAtB

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4rCtiAfiE

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IE6BPzYJC

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VlpBw5jyy

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFzmQ9H3mN

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR7bDeljys
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMMpHGTV30
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyervUZFiCN
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDnUZUoYR5
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVIGj2NAeu
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?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvgwTPLjWS
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndG67CDcOT
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdECrBIltqI
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2yghxbYnl
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSasqGocZI
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OqQO43lpF

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH3ivk67tK

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHSJ0OgvV8

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB18iKNqQpM

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuCvzTLGAr

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi7YjagEYx
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kjRoZihhc
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVhL2PKVAu
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwZQaWswq2
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkn6GLp4PA
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oon450cXg
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaL7h3Ktu5
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIOumvKe4s
Kakarot: ‘My apologies, I had some other business to attend to. As you all requested, I've brought my boy. Beet, these are the last remaining saiyans. They're like you and I, you'll learn a lot from them as I have.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySXh4ZSuaH
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDMUzS2es1
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSAG5Bp4na
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIgfahtcY9
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSupn4jnLG
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckExMum5e0
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKVDo6sJTr
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8KZxQFC4U
Raditz: “I will..”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvcEKyFUtq
Raditz turned to his comrades.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBF3bSTesW
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8l1k4GxRL
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJRNGWhKpy
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qUe9srrjD
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUHaxHle6E
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyBgFnuzkS
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UlaR3QSjB
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXmsgsZh1n
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGmcWFIJ0m
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9oZ2aWfv1
Beet: “Okay!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3nl5fp3Iz
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEdYaEhUkV
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoM9DFF3D0
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW2kl0cCbl
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlmwmap2H7
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsoNX2d6Sa
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUeUCrap70
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74OV6d4Nn9
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLID3xTKAbD
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt22GcAcCx
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO8llJN6a5
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLjD7Z9hkf
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUO7QEizPl
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppkmm5lM8m
Beet: “O-Okay.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ420WjSr7gO
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DIjtPbjjy
Kakarot: “What happened?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHkiXBD2FZ
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8V4eJCMQN
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6nM2Ux1v0
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEn5idSvMA
Kakarot: “Fine.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQD6A7eZg6
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcmo45YkKc
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90jh0qtbf4
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyHiaR5DTy
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeACcCq8v45
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2s2yix3fh
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIJpO4FHPZ
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTifNTxWWI
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1m7Hx1t6u
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7JxRs1pOi
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJuGpVORzm
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTTCfjyOoH
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJXPfwRi69
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1ugADDchf
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWeOVdeajI
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpEP7utuaj
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtJZWGzG2D
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30s7NXOr8D
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuopM8sRNe
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfQ7VrV7mr
Raditz: “Understood.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz1Aj78f3q
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwiLqAQzCC
Raditz departed from the room.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlttHSjAih
“Haaaa”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisp2PCKgYs
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vxUc1Cc7o
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDvyRMUdDT
Kakarot: “Right.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH5YJpXRhj
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURhEM0Ykcm
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmID9Awf6b
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtO0YJzRNu
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjUYblR8TZ
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoBD0qqAob
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsW45W2nKO
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMSrvIlm66
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HpopjqLkh
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObuSNLV7li
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNReuTxTe2I
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AHljvDsR2
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfIPyG9JFY
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI1OdX6iPv
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvF5TNtvXX
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF5dYb8unc
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb2d0X8yV0
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX9VsV9eqH
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlbUFWNx2X
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ovdan9160
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcymcLCEJc4
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTDOiuxMxd
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcjSpBlYtp
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSONEbpGRV
Kakarot turned around.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWZm0dmxUE
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9oD4FjFPJ
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8cxLBsE9y
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?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2liQLjFQKG
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxEjaVEn8K
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hUzT8SAi8
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2yxqkDKpF
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeHA6Wpvww
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2qOOut4RL
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwiesLj4GT
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH1WESM02M
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGnRplLfPO
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeKKmgWVhk
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPILyPUiyD4
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdwcvRo3XT
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqVVvUCDtY
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6V2mdv2CP
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJbhvMNOTm
Kakarot: “Right!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cJrY9zR1I
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNJOE4TUHx
Kakarot: “Yes?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuJo88hRtq
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS9GTGPG1e
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicXXqY11ZV
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv2l2CHUtp
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRi5MxYUpO
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C9V2TTV8P
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhkShI3OHm
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSKjG0xSjA
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DlC3Mlda8
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qEooGLeAy
Raditz turned to his brother.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgZNbX6G4C
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJGRrKKDt7
Raditz: “Right..”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfdz4urY5a
Raditz took off with his pod.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM91ZWhnW8f
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpF23OCBhi
“Let me take a look.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhmsLWC73X
Beep! Beep! Beep!
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK2rji9QfW
“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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUVqMf15Ep
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztv6RjH7pk
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu9uut9t42
He bowed in respect.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiDJQ8Yef3
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWXR9SMWMO
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHMAzIJZ4l
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdWZN4hbnH
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PISgMpHKE
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwhLGbcCC7
Raditz: “As you wish.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiEdKekV4S
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJSF7Ca1Rm
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXJQm8qsSb
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIVY35Mg5u
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmZ0AGtYri
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFf6hxQhhN
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMx6C70uPq
Zarbon took his leave.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpdlSEmHSB
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm7tDSAMd5
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF55qs3xk3
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHrxxOA2RY
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSpxCDX6Co
Raditz chuckled.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TyEmZEjk2
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ759DIPXKeT
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGsY8fQRrY
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0FDdMRpu4
Beep! Beep! Beep!
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZksaXRRGF9
Raditz: “He's here…”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hKoR8reOy
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqEUzFuy5a
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4eBMTDDcb
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5xxSk0HEO
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TUsIPEqAB
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStTESHwzy2
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LdiTsArnF
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXhSv9QF8d
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbXPBib9bX
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DstXfcwTb
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjfWc9Mo9h
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoA6NSvVFa
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kh0dEjWer
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU1O3MfNu3
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkhxWXtM7V
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsKuYQE1YS
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlCYiWESnz
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXpRDbgkEF
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ1M0EZriF
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY0cYCuE4d
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawE24tpXPT
Raditz: “Damn it!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QgIO8fsY4
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl76sBaHyDx
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIEYVAJwkC
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIMSQeqnbY
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6FokY2Nd6
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHM5wdHdZE
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8y8On4AlJ
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jh6MxyCet
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXebby2vTHG
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGroqf3Eio
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8qA8W35bO
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLBJ8jOOmU
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5pWW59Y9s
Beep! Beep! Beep!
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtpDgn4E0R
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkFBLuhpx3
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wrg3Zevzx
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO5j6djRz4
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSccwhJ9QaY
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFysM4AA4X
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeC5096j9Q
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.

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfS95lyWaR
Dodoria: “Why you!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftLbGWt5CH
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsXHVxAIA3
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I464dDvoH
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.

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyCzb3wgtT
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zY1f2blpu
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvksn9ER3Vf
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA3pnWdT2H
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy06hAogR5c
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7ToZobmO8

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MAcYHe1f2
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxnDUcfKZQ
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBYyCsZ4z8

Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBjomyhUpb
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkYAjWMWLp
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.

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.

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U6eBpvmym

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOD5JnYxRV

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZy3hzY0H2
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHAuzD6x6Q

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTvWfGnm02

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId62DzBESq
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZdpD4YPyU

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDVQgzsDMf
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.

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqg4AWxMUH
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy4KpPps7o
Kakarot: “Look out!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvYZd2Qpn1
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.

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZFtUJ3ws0
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs2OVKD3RA
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKY6XLTt8M
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeHZW0mjV3
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTN9TvjIN4

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lBgXtsDMe
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmitW01mZSS

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBagksBWjbk
Frieza: “You again!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfcBjSkBlb
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlh0dRaWyN
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S7NHKQzb4
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bg7F03kNb
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqaPfyy02Z

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd5PHlzsvc
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gzyXTtjFF
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf76rMUBv9
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbYQeSIO1r
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG78OKgs2OL
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hB3r0w2Y2
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16j43DXAtX
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrolBsP68d
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKnUcQ1NIC
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC5i9eQrkh
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Co1tWPtYO
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN6mfIFYmc
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnW6VGwptK
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8tyRgAOiB
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvYhNYOqVu
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Hgf7pqEn
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwOvbpjyZb
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPJ73pppLS
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4vSbtmyHg
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWttEfvbvi

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSVK9UN64R

Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3njvUXkoWh
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XCJwyicK4
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ySLmBVBPg
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.

Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxaBYBzBys
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF0OYMOjhI
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm1Ii2C489
Kakarot: “It's done…”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43j0nuDb8Q
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xXiwMer6o
Vegeta ascended into the air.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmABwACJbAr
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1RvEhF0Ed
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSuwS0VRCT
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92khpdlZGs
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5FVyLdqbz
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDsOdDzN4I
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyHZfTbh6k
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6eH9mHKD7
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV1MnmOpXB
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjqQGLBCl9
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8XNQkQUlF
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89GNAYlQul
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIIJrJiJaa
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORisUJgSpP
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLouYjGzWjB
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXldqNJFpi
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQr60RjcUN
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWG6lTSAEo
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoFTNrB8mx
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHmKxLgxNk
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mJI7GeLTb
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1a74sScUz
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5h2d5yYcu
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSC1h3tK9B
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ70TkLIJa3
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpHoxMR5bX
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAArDVdhBQ
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ624EufyRr
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GRDd7g2LE
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7S3oaLLsb
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuQWl3j1zd
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCzwTqkLne
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkjtr9n5RR
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfqbkqsPbk
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85T0p7O3A9
He looked at his fist in shame.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZFGYntEZz
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDn0Q12HjZ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55c0aFk0ai
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweHKUNaKOo
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW2oiCiMoE
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zeK5vhSmj
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ701Kp3b0YY
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPY4DfxomK
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfM2AIUq9v
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfVbV7DpQZ
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnMCv6syPD
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPmkgHyX4U
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIj5LG7wcS
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOpfJH5dpT
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoRDHsUovL
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..”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWET61nvUYA
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoVisPG1Ay
Kakarot: “No…”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREP3Zs95Hf
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TWyxTuV6Q
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vnisiRySA
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyfU2H4BD4
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUTBGoPVq7
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AG7tdAWZn
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEXEIY1wIv
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4SODJXLlO
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCZ0Qzgg2E
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql2zLAEJgV
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ocB8TOY0V
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGykRtP093
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9L1TASvO0
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPzPptzxbK
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YmKD0QlHr
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBjMc3ZIIj
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FYMpJtd9S
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM6fYYDjUh
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPoq2mXhi8
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RPWotimTf
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpcohjaGJU
Raditz bowed down in respect.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWAChBAlAT
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMH3Jp19cT
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZvQ3JpqHj
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIqiZGtdb6
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0JpHdJtGT
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtAtsbphmE
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6cNH4yjG6
Raditz: “Right!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujBpvAQhN3
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjDJJw2ifs
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNb79Iv6mZ
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzyAB6d6Hq
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D8LQ7Gjwy
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIVh06bZOt
Tears ran down his face.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoG9SHF9OO
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?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQNB8ZNPjH
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96TcEWwHZl
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d4dVJCjP7
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79y764oQLf
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy7MlSUjM9
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQujgWQ6v2K
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI65FXVCJYJ
Raditz smirked.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9iml5clfd
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfFREM8Dri
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLvRKPpYRd
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgOblvAyVK
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1M3zWnQNZ
He pounded the ground.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXiW3YFY5q
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhuivsWctm
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4lJg3XMeY
Kakarot: “To fight!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0U9tc7Pm4
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd1tWEBt62
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApGO5EPNLS
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYvxuiTF3r
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nLJgMVVR7
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyDgqq2yCR
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATp6yuKTcd
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg8m6O5lGD
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMWZDgFjLR
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!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMEbj76rNv
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.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtiHYwAId2
Vegeta: “Wait!”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4HirNropi
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.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rYMERCCkF
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBGmuFHFIl
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVknE0ld1d
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8QMQrx4qo
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTexNCx3UJ
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”

Shenron: “As you wish."
