Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIitSKYxj6b
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GX0pMnWQX
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaRqWmqeC8
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbeZbFHRXM
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX69e0I10Ul
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KZfa5XsWB
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6v4ZeA6da
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT0VpozRj5
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGpKNAnVdX
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuPj9WtNPk
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQen9lqGIf
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QWbph2pGy
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLV9A9sv45
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw9uTqQSIg
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjC9j9beeo
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkPELYibDN
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPsS99Xe2P
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM0JOQ9rYr
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPXtS4NDCk
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyePbOk6GKM
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAkH6OqoOp
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmHONIpzxo
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j3jdBzDRW
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHfBpHtaNr
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoCC0cZj4r
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxJkCT92x4
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VmzyMHndZ
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyLIMHpX1Z
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW2mkQD3nB
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvQRc9dgmj
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvqG27wslm
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelRWom5EQY
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpd4PkmfAz
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkQhR7St0t
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogcaFLntED
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzixDzVkz8J
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWu3ZnEAIq
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehwReSmZU4
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITFJPfG6ek
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN11dOmIwu
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3bbXPBWgr
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKXB62Qu2g
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11QaA73tLg
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxYiDOfUYJ
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavaN9zL6b6
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAOs9IjEe7
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVIWmBpSep
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSeNlLi6hx
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezyKts0o1Q
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtrld2mHTC
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIha6EnaDe
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV4LNOv64I
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nLNkFlhb4
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs1wlKmaSJ
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEOWt7NeVs
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XciOkMcjw
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEoHGByKwk
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXxjliBeQB
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSnuP8ReoV
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFYPbjughX
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuZ1Bg1riP
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZyk7LiPsf
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5FExUm4ea
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2yicZvhkR
Beet: “Haaa!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8okezYPql
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPXZaYi0JS
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE26tM8EDj
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd4sqf0lmc
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST6qTWKMCJ
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVm5MThgz5
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBWsWybeSd
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-”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CZgVCeUWu
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6zMLlEiRc
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy1VYALieU
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCOQN2AdPp
Kakarot: “Enough”!
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlboI6nFhv
Beet: “Huh?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtfGr5p9T3
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxxSHTfGfz
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrphzckkIL
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGULcOkC4IQ
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa662uBpJkO
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoQv5ae6r2
Beet: “Right!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WGtFQ4dRp
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1NHwAaxs6
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6npWXPjs8l
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qLpndWUb6
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvZDEWGlJw
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbxHJiN8OI
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2XCNGM9yH
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY9JrtZcWJ
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfpackHzgg
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXSr6QZBkp
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAFmU8rGPx
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSATap2CZEr
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2flY4iX7Yi
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4cbvbdUSd
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm6CFkEg0O

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvkfaMDUSw

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iH93Enx1T
“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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpfCZrNkLt
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVADcqfyBR
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0eKvoDfnY
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XrMG6hUGv
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FwDGeDNsA
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYlXoJr0Ee

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKSBVH5B51
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIJsv48RUW
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTGvFTzVYL
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c4v1mFmAC
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ayVpb4w08
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13tEETUVfj
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoAqPBOQf8
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0FYlzz4NV
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0zVUNW46Z
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRDnmCBI9B
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrEwMRjmBI
Bulma chuckled.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjHxpXmPAh
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoidSh12G3M
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVzmEJ4IHq
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPbnpdg31j
Beet: “Momm!!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh9OOVwnec
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjnloj5iSC
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaJWtR5vMT
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4rxP3JOhT
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0aOJsukVV
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3p3PjXvxs
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBaBczQ41T
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWnTijY89R
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHhT9ZRvQf
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaoTNYEscT
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpNyflA2uS
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjDr9z8KJE
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2DTTC4RoB
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGP9XuzmUb
Kakarot: “Enough!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxrgYSFlfu
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJkqVmQnAY
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YLf0stbzY
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqIT1cbjuQ
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTGftnZGPh
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e9WEn4drX
Beet: “Sir!!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJRDjOa1uR
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eou6zKayF
Bulma: “Beet!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHDRxulnfu
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgUfArSAG6
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxcFfwRbD4
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2iXDU7P9z
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd0W3joHpf
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkspFrze7i
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmCbpu1Gkj
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWKtl05f5G
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEAohhMSDt
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?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbEtN7QkLP
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbfIK60YiK
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcGCq8Plxs
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgjXUoHWg4
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCsYdq1sNa
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2Kfr8nu5V
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U06iXIeHm
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i1S4Jh2OI
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvlQXNw6CI
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENnrqxFsQS
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWvfXJefEz
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OFUC4stwe
Raditz: “You have my word.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfxyq22xPA
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQpYeczUyy
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy21Lq0NTxH
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZRqas60hY
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rjbeO7t40
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35dkX2ACQd
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?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH4JBReRXz
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlLz4BivBq
Raditz chuckled.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sdjPz2TQt
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f4PJsSomo
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X7pSMTyYI
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluqVILtBLZ
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpDSgMtcnK
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxck953mKcM
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWicj9Zc8Sg
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMosG1hcjy0
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakLmbl00QU
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3BUzKdNsA
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfg2C1BPbW
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqAHer7zXG
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLw05DyHms
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9vqEszr11
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4n6PV1p3S
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPYB1nHX31
Raditz took a deep breath.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEts80VzJr
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkeqhCWHgT
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRwizrLbn9
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2EEEO5JUQ
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4OtOC4Pie
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFZOw6HLkq
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?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSteJjc5ISg
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZDmBublzK
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYp0CVal80
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KwMHvusq3
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVO3aOo7g9
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbGvBPJ8j2
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJtEVxPIPL
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaiVWDgptu
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?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2qybdJfWF
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekWRDNtSn5
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBonjvOsLS
Kakarot: “The prince?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK8Qnd1Ooo
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nnyHcVdZ0
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVz8kWnIl1
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?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKt1O8kScg
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVxWablLZD
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqrByJHDXt
Kakarot: “….”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfp8hMRDw7
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvTPYDJ0oB
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0RvvaPuPk
Bulma hesitated to reply.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5whtpR5Z1l
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2uK6SZmer
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHxrF8Cr7k
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHXbd5AIyv
Beet: “Sir!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lK5Kt33Ym
He came face to face with his father.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbmvhgh3gq
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6lKaB2Y61
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAzYq2CGkw
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpzFfsnmrk
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZZNlIJBGc
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1RRYJvKdw
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQeN56zxyr
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HnZxX5S7d
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPKNcfE1Zd
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJu7xxucXG
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXvXGOq7CU
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WveqsDALm
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNTHQN7CLo
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejmXLE3uZY
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.’
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgfH9OupRF
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XyCUTnPo8
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbr8tdFjPi
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfr9pHKYdJ
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy38rygawuZ
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt69pLw9Hd
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwBhCBBmih
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjNREhe3DP
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBclEPwmbN0
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0itTt3KsQT
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTbYmDGr0A
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7lrgVtjC4
The prince hesitated.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3ARDV51tM
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCpf51LMpY
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7jR0SLgPb
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeoO57JlFw
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumbGY5lSKK
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHGWOMvdvf
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VjeUbQeXs
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6elUnbvMV
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNKR8Vg43N
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iZug8LheK
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXUtPhQbH5
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEczKsBTYA
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85lC2NmPQc
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDsx45oxmH
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqu3MD7fJb
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBXUQnQ14E
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6iSaePKB9
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0G7mk2TyT
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o0YtQ6bCj
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTirRe72ao
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTicEJsb6g
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukVlTgUX3j
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BL2gaX5Di
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR868O6LbP
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?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxA0tIKyIg
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5rqdr4Beh
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzA5d892CC
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkSwSEIAFx
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9NjKShspn
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4OO4HbZoz
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?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbqFuS5K8l
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDyaMAAW4Y
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAhgYIO2Ct
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxwlj7iLOs
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sFhY4ndb0
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?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y9Ev8tcWJ
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ8dYBFh1S
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pZzTzZqVs
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3ie3OcAh9
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh3TwK83xv
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ367M6NVTtb
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJh0yOX7so
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeyf6u0erZ
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRvuMtkeKj
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuoeLX0iSz
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?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCeLXHv2Vw
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeusCO6LWjx
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsa4ALsErl
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ76m9cacQ
Kakarot: “What was that?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TpEwsHmrp
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCwK4BYb6v
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?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdHS6IfiXN
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqVXWGHoYI
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmNPE4y15D
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRdeUL1cVO
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MFXccGWOk
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a4TsLkfWS
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQjbbWsaft
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTenWe6vnwH
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZgqACfJRy
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHr52RHhhR
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqONVz1kBfi
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbbj0sUgz4
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6PJoaSp4W
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsndDacHpPP
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjiR0lBEEP
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ979F08xS
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ2oiXkoc5
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKpUfCjLID
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM5uPLGfbV
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFFd1hHqsf
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyHKOmoyv4
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGRF8ruGGT
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGYWJ0Ssba
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51quyLftNH
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP5Iu4AGZp
“Your foot is on my tail!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMgy1GZiv0
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFjX0zcuf8
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay1ZnlkG2v
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTMjcGaUHL
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWymKuOI7Es
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3UHDHL2b6
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7SuD2EaCq
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyKTtu3xLg
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajiH0ZOVPH
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszg6Mnr61Y
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?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0FCKzBhFI
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP1N0ZlGBg
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCJXq3I4ur
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vGSXceuh4
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVyfYUBUw7
Kakarot smiled.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEolIMYjNBp
Kakarot: “Understood!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAh4ATuYm7
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1i4jI6xSU
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVEpwbbZy5
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrq8aX2sd6
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbJtlAxEf1
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT4tp9LZrv
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1XlajubSr
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8MtE2LTSZ
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnf3QfFcB5
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEIxIDS1B7

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw91IbEg4E
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLhibWIiE4
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCgZ497Sfo
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsG0zs4Iuw
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRjL1RcM1z
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbsX4vdFDq
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCBROjxDc2
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMd5tuXYT3
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblf8n3cilz
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlyv848WFr
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O7h4OwIQq
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0lb6kg0tT
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kX5OHtHfL
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTk6G8ex5f
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFNGKd4Ndx
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tX4NNx3O5
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQoB6PJzw8
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWY8bGtazA
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4yiHWl8zC
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALmwP0Hg5y
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOXcDjv5uA
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNs9M3j5W3
He took a peek at his injuries.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq2OLdKlLR
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Hjud1viZ
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONQoDhMEMm
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvayfxr8ek

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaWdGgmvwv

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrs0s6a7kc
Kakarot: “Huh?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEwTIWSuBl
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNId06YEtm
Raditz: “Why you!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSuSDPrSHU
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cwBwyMu8P
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQeVZHP8NB

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmytPLSz0t7
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lRKQo3A48
“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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOlUdDa2Co
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbpAgNCyoc
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?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRwCkAnacz
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcDUrknA70
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWUYVPQrzS
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ww94UqGBK
Doctor: “I will sir.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmRQly6YSI
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1yWBUbJp9
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwUllEJkvl
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJFrCGvUbt

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2IQ30aZ3T

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF7kX2QMPg

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXJe0Pv8pF
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmwq8VoOk0
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rOawsZukT
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbZ3EYm8uU
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaYQvyFL1W
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMRl4SNREK
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?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF3VNHPdJ6
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb39ELnu8Xj
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfA21czlRd
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqQOrbN16g
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJBPCvjBIW
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSjCZkB8rq

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X4PfLuGuj

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XeIoqXtbP

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWCSK1aGQW

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwoBrq4NYm

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaC4MB05va
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb8V1FNeXw
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN4WV24Kwt
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNwCT8nP8o
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvQHhnFEnK
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwE7vgm7oh
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIA1wP42Jt
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7hyK8KCoh

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59MGqMzK9R
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8ythfat41
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlmOARkLAu
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABaVzGDhVD
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JjwBk2cTE
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb0JgtDt9n
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFRkyFswps
Raditz: “I will..”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAjnrOK48J
Raditz turned to his comrades.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BltNrfaxv
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBDEfzP9Q9
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzSgsGtMPV
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZoT0sNyOz
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbTTCVm2I4
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6sKNMEO0k
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nvocxQFia
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgKK1pdhKH
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVIgdzpwf1
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoPYgkKCN6
Beet: “Okay!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8L4jUurxV
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm8i8ZDeZV
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcn0e2CZYw
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwChp3gNXw7
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIaTIx7HR7
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuvcl96PTa
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmtyaiEbHT
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56SQbhwCez
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu5fKdR2mj
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn8fPhEC5f
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF8BaEnU87
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhX6GX2XoX
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXdmrV6yVk
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoRiKmgEpd
Beet: “O-Okay.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEJn3ZlS7g
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LHCUgHfyI
Kakarot: “What happened?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBctjs9HITw
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdBWUcjvtD
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9vAiE9w1g
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRcQvE8Mgh
Kakarot: “Fine.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjCf78So3Z
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwmV1HKU6k
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuGmV73vek
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS4z7TbRoE
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qs5YP6uPM
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLxtWZOijV
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DgFHeTvnR
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcdCccKxAc
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum2tAKKHtF
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zesk09SgM
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ0IPrCqSW
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrP67zddb3
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CVfWhIZTf
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmXEP7HLF8
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLocrLxBaFK
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVOyXmXNhI
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuwIfKuyOH
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMF08zvFkh
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaAJ6rLfo2
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA07ReX3iw
Raditz: “Understood.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIQ8Ozowu4
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1XxrF3tf0
Raditz departed from the room.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbGlby2g7D
“Haaaa”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgYHQnCBtt
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr20LpMw7sB
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxJoLJCPWy
Kakarot: “Right.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMeS2g9UMv
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E5JAuPMpy
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXMulEBaHt
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nH6jGWFL7
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiT8aK08Qt
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfasqhqCOQI
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkTvm8IXJF
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiG9o6XsNH
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1COSgnmAem
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JAVpWkvPb
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlucjw0P8AV
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMw0uOtJaE
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPujDRElyD
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xy8zxuqMY
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd2NNWwoWz
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOulQq9aTSZ
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JQ7wtC7Dz
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfShZzWDub
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC0rgwQ3Dl
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW875smrUR
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwL5y2LbAH
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu2lqHMbkZ
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11HQ4ByVuR
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUMV3odBeb
Kakarot turned around.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb9dBFADQK
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dZ0fT204x
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl7XHP9JyL
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?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIP6EKrF72
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6BB8ewOc0
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4NYAJJyHD
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24luGzlsXt
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG0pE1VCEY
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPMc5EC7k3
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ651mnLP0Dy
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQTUMHJwGr
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5VzDX1wFs
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3uY53GA2K
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sbwVIjOrj
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNO2UJbU92
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3owM0l83RE
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeZT2djzqg
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9on4u0rCX
Kakarot: “Right!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj3sehOm4I
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwbyEb4xeJ
Kakarot: “Yes?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGGy6BbNuO
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODgmehhEzl
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwnSoihtDE
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoM3cuBu3i
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl51CYS1lnl
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3EH1LCk2y
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ha53DXgoW
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpJVxVF57o
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8BhRgQAl1
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ9GiKQCOQ
Raditz turned to his brother.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn6LD0RsZS
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoEcTAkYyQ
Raditz: “Right..”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOCr2yI0W8
Raditz took off with his pod.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxQ8iGsGIF
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBehmjsE9aJ
“Let me take a look.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4ItS2ZS8C
Beep! Beep! Beep!
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzGAhzjJ74
“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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE3CF5Q9nn
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vxkak4hG9
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71lAXS2Jjx
He bowed in respect.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8mFi0FEl3
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF4du4BU1j
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK8WpjfHw7
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHSSshvjv8
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyXXrHaCGJ
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3KDlwP8xN
Raditz: “As you wish.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDHpimMY67
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf2BPJ0BL5
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07KZwi3Oyl
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeQStJOl3z
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqe4lKRtuY
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNcvrJI928
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLWSMzAZvy
Zarbon took his leave.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWwYwf3PZ8
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGSeUwFgXz
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeGulNt36V
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mNWxNv8oe
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZMxdDprNy
Raditz chuckled.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX2qxvzrto
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVsbtiXfKZ
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsJTkyRMPs
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zi8nnxus3
Beep! Beep! Beep!
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh2wz0wQ9J
Raditz: “He's here…”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuxaAaiLl7
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiMCkISdT3
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvpMjVw1IJ
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXJzBCmGfm
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2M99YW71X
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvzldlhEWT
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhjh9UPm4k
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTfjOunHXp
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKSdh1QMpe
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fLpqZ1VeA
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJBmazb1Kk
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK51jlFwxm
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31N0zpyOJg
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQhpkjPX7f
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbLDfSLQ3b
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7ECMuKP6S
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGmc1StenI
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUEkeKpbms
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mv2WgSYTy
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuFgclXxpL
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnhvRd6fYQ
Raditz: “Damn it!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6FyPvBT2E
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4eF3Bfj9N
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB0rBrLJCS
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB7uUYTrF2
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d1XOhh7wn
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p8bq012Er
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2kJnz5tVl
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK9GF7B9Tf
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEgrXDmqPt
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYuATnrw12
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7O4XjghBG
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYKBTVA8Lh
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mI0qsvBOT
Beep! Beep! Beep!
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ061lXsTw72
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEwkYEVHnm
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55RHotTs98
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzibwhb9clt
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWhbcU0tsm
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4enTCpxnY
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTXES4HozC
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFnwhw6ZgY
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIk10GJIrb
Dodoria: “Why you!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvI3AR33ir
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIUzhKKH3L
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58WxlMHjtb
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVMTmtdUNX
Zarbon: “Damn it! It's really come to this hasn't it? Take a good look saiyan, this is the last thing you'll ever see!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnjIpXmog9

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEu7YlUEkG
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdf30MsqGi
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3trczgaWzR
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ya4BwCfjD
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYz7RefJwa
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLt7prFnWF
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSSqBa4XEw

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RrvdgdGXp
Vegeta: “Huh?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDm5g9I6ta

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cqJig87bq
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD60PoUrUlk
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISMqyqFPGR
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1bxrxgMrS
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHaHJymVwQ
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWukSVSHLoe
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhMSjHLizm
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.

Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBnNqbqZrE

Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevyKd4OHF3
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYx74p1NX0
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmy6vjyGP9
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg16uvZKTDL
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQayFB8TiZ
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGNY6iiCXH
His body grew as he morphed into the beast known as the Oozaru. Zarbon watched in fear as his opponent grew to a massive size. Raditz stomped on him, killing him immediately. He spotted his allies, noticing their struggle.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBE2Shh9Qu
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUwUtbXNl5
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMsJneRJkf

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWhYrtKzqO
Frieza: “Y-You-”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqrY8oTc1R

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVk7TmjCPd
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPJx3zH4aZ
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJhPNaips3
Kakarot: “Not again!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpjv7NzuaJ
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx3diXS2lh
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i1WRrTgLn

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0DjJGeZsL
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrY6bGKCMk
Kakarot: “Look out!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6i4nzkLeJ
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA4up5BGcV

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zp2yExFBf

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYi9odtX5E
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgauouZ06db

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQEQ7BypFZ
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8116V89bnw
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTEI08ADHl
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaUqo5TIEC
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW85MzD3zx
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjvv8OmhUM
Raditz unleashed his most devastating move. Frieza stopped it and dispersed the attack with a single hand. He flicked his hand towards himself, pulling Raditz closer with telekinesis.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6inJ3b0946
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3C0ZWOLgW

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lvTxMeMOF
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6AWYwsJYz
Frieza: “You again!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6U8kGqfIg
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmZORgEq5W
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S8EsDXWU5
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBK2OI7ua6
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrLAc2c1hy
Kakarot landed a knee to Frieza's gut. He balled up his hands together and slammed them into Frieza's back. Frieza fell straight down but caught his balance before crashing against the ground.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm50G59l51d
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF4XOqbMY0
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ9l6G7Ej7
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyUb9PnU4A
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomJCHIssu6
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn9zsIEEKW
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHufnKaara4
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpjZ0gDCMr
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u3aXDI204
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYrgtvyO4O
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOpViXjLFx
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMTKBHGiie
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLwCf0uNOi
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkUckE3Rk5
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTJ3Y2kegD
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4wni3t4DS
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5OWSts1ND
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSh6Dfwfaq
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9NpBwwOeS
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAJ5CPkPhr
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTXejyhnc9
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lUrZtcboO
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f1AOT3iNR

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq6qTO90FR
“Haaaaaa!!!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgAS6K6Vhb
The trio used the distraction to find an opening in Frieza's attack, piercing through it and hitting the tyrant head on with their combined power. The destructive force of their beam sent Frieza crashing down.

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTvjrzM31P
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI2rIiGgH4
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeay6qJ36J

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJYMe5Ps8b
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QbFxFpZrV
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79HR46b8Ap
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwsfjGgbOg

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLI9EgFtHu
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSRtioijza
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPcbivwfKL
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-”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYrdOoa70V
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd92AsDU4X
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZajT4EI5i
Kakarot: “It's done…”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFzqBsvqvf
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCXozDgTJm
Vegeta ascended into the air.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfJ9sbsFZG
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQCQLE6HVI
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf1XxFI0vU
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea17S1V9fc
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKuMEJuPeO
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2dIFKFBwO
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTv7jVk0q6
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPRXxZ8P9M
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb5CCSkDPA
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfsLcSBknH
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfIWTCh3GT
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp0eqoWoW7
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXgywsmiL8
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNS42GlhYB
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCMEZSxT6C
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQNBN01OO8
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUPUcgZ4tU
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmuXhRpEGZ
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9Ar3CZebP
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXGUoCHOeO
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4ZGI2jZuB
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67MI6TsPn6
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuUjFp8aVc
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UNlShcrrk
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHt28Yp3gh
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGhXzzBjeV
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5O7jGfXA4
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zqEaQbIXR
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusHki4mbF4
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP3owVpF9G
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1Am5VbJhV
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXz8xXzwRs
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA257eyJpHm
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE75UycpLQ
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjvwo6zk4H
He looked at his fist in shame.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKhPHyW942
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZZk57D4zr
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrXwUkzcUD
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76DaVjdwyg
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSfhsOn4ug
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TmlSgFU1X
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sF4WdCPuH
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk10ITdpHvk
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApsCj0sLWD
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rZgPOa6AD
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEqnmR4Lkm
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKtThSNiuS
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HrXqC6sjk
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn9bBvuEpL
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ppVX6royB
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..”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp9sRceR4Y
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY4lvhAT1l
Kakarot: “No…”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuYLZvFwVe
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOptZLBuWBb
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm8soJLuRr
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC2Z7njueH
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcmbKIhClf
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgmUN110CA
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrezqlLZTWM
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChnSmZTjxy
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPZOVeIfAk
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsuqDqS3OA
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGtmOYlxWr
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA04mNcA6r
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN5MuBsTTr
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBbEAzdSbq
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSTg9GsRm4
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHarGE7GPlJ
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchkBl6zASf
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFcXCQrt4K
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SJiHnWiv6
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyRnGbkXnN
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY9svFYiet
Raditz bowed down in respect.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAIhIdSd4K
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ4gr5ZpKe
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULDjo8QeOP
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYkrXaTZ9M
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjor9BWHga
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r8181M9EL
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh50DmKLv4p
Raditz: “Right!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82pbRZhO32
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl33VDs7aN
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAPZ2TYi4p
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ1nQPuAxA
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAnC6jL2wh
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0XPxGygbI
Tears ran down his face.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTgBvFPbhH
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?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMERbggRPiO
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAZ1ha5Iku
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8LzHLoMTS
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqh3E7oOnE
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbIXGtpS9H
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZXTuIaWQt
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AXxxfqyKM
Raditz smirked.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvWIV3q2iT
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzltQRHu72y
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxODEKF5N1L
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xjTtBgbDY
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcvMeSdE2l
He pounded the ground.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu02ruUd7fZ
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVjjRZbkpl
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeO0klAQ4P
Kakarot: “To fight!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFzn9xQ4lY
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFchPSfjGrK
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSXCZiRfRb
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E7tpZfRbH
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9J3n9B87O
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsPL0bbw5O
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hmMzac47C
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVE0jAvPF8
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15tM7N3unB
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!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6RLp07K2n
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.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF10I5NZ4BY
Vegeta: “Wait!”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIpnHbiiJZ
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.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19aO0YJKmP
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FuSEegfeW
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ9aeFHU3M
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL4FvDtwbW
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMdvbAe2Nh
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."
