Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe4wEFs8mW
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YOJBHpbVc
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q1tVVntQg
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbmffhFCt4
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rRnD6G57P
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV5hOflnRk
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQKGGRdRLg
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ms22WYU7j
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMTThkUxHZ
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJnXGFcPdg
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpWzR4XDP0
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuE29AUH0m
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqAo0TNqC0
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZD3BV8YQb
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2djtRIs84
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XxFivyrKQ
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMovvPzyYG
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqHAUQFqjf
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYo6gpZM89
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjIArsWuYN
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzRFXpc07K
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkh17tUPWM
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KQ6Bvl5IP
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JpzckMAje
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTzqNz5gTZ
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXLLyyLEKV
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cwk959Dg8
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HokLG525Q
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNEhJrqTU3
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp5KXwN3KZ
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpKHZcqCUr
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl3uvCBgU0
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyK085aDf7
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgqhKsTuNH
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUz25hhRJs
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII3KWYZzU3
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzdy2oOoJW
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkImT5l6Ef
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRHQC9vDsR
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9jI8frrud
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuDEfsjyYP
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfqzYDEIYF
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzRDhSG68j
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf1JeEuEZp
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNealHWwkNs
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2EXW2UdWW
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQddFm3x6H
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLgyY7CLPa
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtEDOVQU3C
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡras7B5p3id
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr21ZMXsKD
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8Z2FbxzF0
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf1ocOJx4W
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ACpBNJsfu
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL9S6Ovcxo
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jlZpQyZaV
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GyYcw4NOA
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG12BB5rMG
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokQDCdzHNI
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTDeYS19ZN
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIsnTeQ5V5
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtfvDuvCgg
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfVdOIp2vE
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw4Jl6AXnN
Beet: “Haaa!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP7QL6xZPb
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cD0XQLqvW
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqduOflDIB
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVc18HT7FB
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEIvEOwdrq
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRdQ7snF1M
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqascs9JRzg
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-”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfLycYl134
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTc6ZsLtjg
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqUYtTmewP
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpPmOZN9JL
Kakarot: “Enough”!
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkk66bu1oe
Beet: “Huh?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bcf4O6QFe
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaXR4vSNxk
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf1N8xQWy7
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9E17eqtNK
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4z626U5CE
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ0HPnZP86
Beet: “Right!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4f5gszRRh
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWoPocldsh
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YUhcPqTpO
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Jss0CgfP
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OJVsceEtl
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnU5S02Z3q
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgnM4boJkd
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnCm3mLq3S
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6csloqenb
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcBVawJNJU
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzLe1blSGJ
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7q8UZtOmA
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UQhptXAU4
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CWOJMWMsu
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN67fdtXEa

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWQgCOxTLh
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KXdboEIvq

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3mWraBbvH
“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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KgMqxWqpM
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH8cdB72hB
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWC4juSAUD
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhBg1zuBg1
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.

“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kzMU9tTci
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIKhpld1VI
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAHNPaKOvW
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezqLipZLUm
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTn0TqoozU
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.

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbS32a2NfU

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEeoEnu7SF
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAMVHORMzJ
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiloYHnGII
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4vfuKl3wg
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5aclytFVG
Bulma chuckled.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbItDFTsn4
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUHnXU3Trg
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMvz1BTWuZ

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOWdDqXH40
Beet: “Momm!!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kn1ll2TQj
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfFXnmJBj4
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jbc14jNVI
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ8l7c9dFp
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFneX8Ed0t
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSMseGnm9Q
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm4zDASSB4
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvppgej6xE
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mSf6zJwOt
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEc02i5o9E
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL48TMeWhp
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyzBq7jwTo
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8fTSpMkGf
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYpypD8IPx
Kakarot: “Enough!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyelc00pBy
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9xt2sZUzh
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgKUGxzPbw
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPXqRbLt99
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1D2z8Adre
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YNiqSMXwx
Beet: “Sir!!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyH8gpdTLq
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYtBlNuoIf
Bulma: “Beet!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lhNPO5GhP
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjkgSLLkYE
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawe2PX89UY
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZJOumb1bV
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuovfiFJxu
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUqiAUSvh1
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4uP2NTspc
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMxbWrb1BM
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZLeBzAlyX
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?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmDKWWMB76
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAbL1WUOKJ
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6slBQ0bcwh
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBSX9E9TID
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltOjQV33wb
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRJijUfCkD
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJFjQMn1d6
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMJLoGL6iC
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNpQs90ckv
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqzPxrO0an
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof3l8N7itN
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUEmGbn1nS
Raditz: “You have my word.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGhbC0FpIe
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE2rniaOKK
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1A3PZkpI2
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7bX5aClIv
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthUEgX9SdU
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLODabHzuMe
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?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6tGw4h7YA
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVkBskokr0
Raditz chuckled.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekvOtqGxRX
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHTKLvHkgl
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTlRldrDkd
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNczpaU86JA
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6UocA0l1o
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2gbgOmxCD
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgADRrNkS7H
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaXs3okk0Z
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYU8lZg1AC
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuojflGQuc
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlmZgCN5je
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0k6UmoV0B
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeVkA05lzo
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzYcwci9ZK
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmXNMXt3c1
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBvd3tkavZ
Raditz took a deep breath.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoBttmpIhi
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEyRTkzi5l
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGFX4vxrPR
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM0vHedgoQ
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu0M39TquX
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ivq2eNtC1
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?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohQ5XaRxhj
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFg3lrqCtx
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmX83wa9kU
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCzMQlxOEV
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD7ORuJrOx
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdoedvuN9P
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsP4UoQhC9
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyWbsCLXgb
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?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc9AP4tMuY
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8g0PoMr81
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q4nd6eofU
Kakarot: “The prince?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w3STagdRX
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM4qVQWzEF
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvm0bDNVWO
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?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9QUVXTIha
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgKaAAIqxJ
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm6PVWz0j2
Kakarot: “….”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCaRopG22K
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyT5xB3dI6
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MN7xEFupw
Bulma hesitated to reply.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9aVl5DCcC
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaywCbWtCE
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jntpzMVIp
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcmTvvmrNF
Beet: “Sir!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit7w1JpEsn
He came face to face with his father.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHC4cedgFu
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTiq875D6C
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhgUDC67UR
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhVXlmPsFC
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIybOaFRVo
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhDphyu3id
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9l8v5b3S5
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjLle3zFhK
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcidYp29ah
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEgJHq4LLp
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWUvOmyQmj
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHlPWVnDoD
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx0gcfnrhw
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPCeNkzLld
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.’
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcsEgwyTWT
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4kHdkiGUc
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRa3FDzpER
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm1WCVKowH
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlAb6oTltw
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCEPQaRTUM
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3fwwr3I2F
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8rTy9SJqk
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19nk2VO7CO
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM15LkXj3W7
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGnBcDdVTM
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gI3KwDh4s
The prince hesitated.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjbSX97cnv
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2hXrfpLx0
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ba9EGjuaC
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC3Rx0mtCI
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfG9W2t66m
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLG1CnzGzY
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksinj6Nkpb
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkooUDee8V1
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVbLypUnIM
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNAdR6wrWg
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwqX43LtDn
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH5uRPnuDl
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifmB1zBgkJ
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IYGbWRbAr
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBstAhIRQt
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGWLjkCUtq
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcJFYi1U5m
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQspNFut6P
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfqn7r5AFP
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBda5U7qAfS
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrik7KNqgW
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YzySpQl4S
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB2aE7Rzxm
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI3jSQRxyS
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?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkHb4Zs88r
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9uNzCzP4G
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoCDJX2G0e
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBg2kp36zI
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVoDdxpQYy
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo3bJq1xJm
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?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKxillzmHX
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6UHmEUphh
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhDrAfymvV
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CbVMlRXY2
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCZHTa1wH4
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?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4ZoCxSR4Z
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNfi614J4w
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxjHgfUwnJ
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbrbpW3qIQ
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqR05nxNhA
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g33BfHquh
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKDdEfiaxn
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkar7iuxm7
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiliN7tkGJG
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7GsLcf4Lu
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?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx5E3NsO69
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsciB0QzkdF
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFtBGa4tiB
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUsRbp1iIi
Kakarot: “What was that?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ78CjsqTT
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH7IkKc9jG
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?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5v8pX95fj
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWEtNwP5zo
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy0RQOuEPT
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLBEYog1A8
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiMsEryWBi
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQSgfbbgSJ
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YzvID6eId
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd71bGU1tHt
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKmNn8JTTE
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTntEayiQCF
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdrp7vTnYd
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HWznPUqwK
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlqS5fjj2j
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXY4Bdjurb
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNi3AgWRCT
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftFOS5hBMM
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9QJX1RndZ
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPk9hMEApA
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOLdNTcZex
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.

Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69vIDt28Gt
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvBWVfMUEL
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gwLgJ0NVJ
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDszoCLAYoY
“Your foot is on my tail!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXVsxl2XAB
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YMyhuoBLh
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuQdG8GnML
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLMUXLa1Co
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCytfSgrIk
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5XU1qE4rc
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHdLcr86PP
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx0YBERwBq
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf8hfwxnVn
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2omcuC57p
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?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SViulflnO
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw49rnu7RX0
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslDHocrotN
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqT5iPXSef
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYjUHcNrW5
Kakarot smiled.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeT3rPGP2F
Kakarot: “Understood!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua7nWfvuIE
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3I1FZCqKN
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBmGQIf2Zt
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0saT4RUgA
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAivJkmmZrK
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEdQQNlLH7
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv8VUViT9q
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8EzoYVhkH
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKsisQcUUh
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwS7BOOmt1
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF2fscbHHx
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgd80WwXYk

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9HUWZESaz
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O2fN6Y1yJ
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAwR1ACZ9V
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa41OotLYxd
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeG1QP6bAS
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBE9tiwJyM
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct7k44d9lU
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYiS1oSKNk
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8L4jpxqPy
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bh2LOiD14
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEDFmaVKE5
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyQ2HRLNxI
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHzNzSqVr2
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj558JmbEtq
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ht9mlXdLZ
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVz6ECvZCC
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrwOcICMbr
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEacqNDi24D
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1mVJIBfgL

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iJ94x5QDG
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP9nmQFvQB
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.

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPh1akGfPg
Kakarot: “Huh?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN7Lo0SVau
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxzcGutKbd
Raditz: “Why you!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTLPr4wmE4
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUznnRYgbGS
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4vtZemp2O

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2vFg1JjHl
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQKfyxYsxA
“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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWlIDdaKgr
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jx8H6iWzm
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?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU9BAuGAcn
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV80IspnTF
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tO7rYkbRT
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwJOEFXiWK
Doctor: “I will sir.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZG452uA8u
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfPHivO63m
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFo2zxzqy0

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J0F9JVeFA

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3djOHfb3Ok

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LbGhbYbyy

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g7NBuK68Z
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJyrcxCH6Y
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX68MJfNiFy
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0tCvV5fHx
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk390wOnAd
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?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnDfenMILc
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQXsWs7nna
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa4IHqdHFe
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhOI9UC1ZG
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.”

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2KhnQ5GhZ

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKoBdMHRT1

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotu0pJxHvq
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6AwxD0Wcn
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JpzpYtsS6
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Cz34wU1S
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5seF9Zt3u
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKsjQT5tWB
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.

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx13tQOnau
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3VP9HI2i3
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eVdFpkJFp
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAEYn6E8Jm
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JZTbI47Qh
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3Au5QPYGT
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpc0SsE6tJ
Raditz: “I will..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH86uuu7xBU
Raditz turned to his comrades.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx7kgylY5G
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO19gtfZdQ
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINzU4qmlIx
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAQPgNKesi
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9XqKhMPWT
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW19gJUQ5Lk
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj0V2FmYth
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNPwemHARH
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMqp8vSefh
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbabxhfee2C
Beet: “Okay!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BiOu2mtGS
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbPGe66F55
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebw4VDK31w
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS5S1uW3qY
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedaUUxjWhs
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDGsMY8xOE
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfotfGAdonb
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN4CPNhm92
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BkhnJdztc
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVceBc2MXFM
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4v3isyNPX
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNAxI2L0wl
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81bewNxZNq
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgDC9XyRUq
Beet: “O-Okay.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNQemV4TwT
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGrqbT7pbZ
Kakarot: “What happened?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbb2ZIbQyW
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtdo8SFoWQ
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7GnBp5ukx
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbA30dvGiF
Kakarot: “Fine.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KQXXjVYgy
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVwskKegoA
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw10WWKN40w
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAqoOiNhom
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1BOLBYJMq
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYtTwv2Dom
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8HYpdZrDv
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOeOXIyWPB
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfW9NKkuSp
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rLHGmQN5U
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCaSI50jS5
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD05BDaiiZc
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnshq041esL
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yZxOwTwNU
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI5phdxgcA
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazIZoQwxqx
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nbgyLct4g
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf99mnWmHuO
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjgBqpnbWc
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9Yb4H2tcV
Raditz: “Understood.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmDnZyXzBz
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODJVNmnqbY
Raditz departed from the room.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfzprnRfJR
“Haaaa”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKe0H44D8u
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUqhLreGDx
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxj8aA7z4r
Kakarot: “Right.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RLTmpEyI0
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDVE1SffQE
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKOPv40DKg
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiAxSimJwM
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSIonfcKZa
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadKz0FS4bO
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrJC12Aidk
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfjx3hwN1u
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi0ir2NcOa
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vJvWb8lw6
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdldydYIVl4
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs59BWwn57c
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlwd0DPcrp
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNJzZpkxZT
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f8w4mXOAo
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnTf09GGkM
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI40CBtsuA4
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvNEC3mOCe
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyFHqPlXM3
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwtcAM3WCV
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3jmJkyLXJ
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyam0UZTHPH
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJnkEwiXt1
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa5KDvs1gw
Kakarot turned around.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8vY96wHb0
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lbwfBTsRD
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJix12NZ9c
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?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmH4cknYFz
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKAMdky8kg
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4ZQdXJYpl
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJAzqf07zI
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlw27unh9q
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmXI98pXar
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3TxvZyze1
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf6bDQdZCk
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQMr0urnSp
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OwGsHkcwa
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnjJgwgaON
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNkYe7Z2A9
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadmsX0bNk1
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr2PiCSzhK
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAJt9pIPCK
Kakarot: “Right!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrLKUMitR8
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoijIa4Dc9I
Kakarot: “Yes?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOsXSnRFNB
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18shOHUsgZ
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCWatpSuBj
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNxDit4sIL
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeQiaiud42
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UsiSiHig5
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknM7wcXYq1
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuDcOJYshu
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvguUYyzvft
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvowWkCSZnh
Raditz turned to his brother.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcWkVxfILH
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzrECcGEtZ
Raditz: “Right..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RQwPp4cFO
Raditz took off with his pod.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtZNtEjJCl
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc2xWckjNt
“Let me take a look.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzLWCo0nIy
Beep! Beep! Beep!
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7unRTDl1KL
“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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n2rouvQOC
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93mwslMeM0
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJuQrFRT1j
He bowed in respect.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs2S1MSwri
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nfol3sVKA
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKKDj4lJ2q
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXYYpIHyZJ
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNVyUeCoGG
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd0UoXb0vM
Raditz: “As you wish.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgRs5FFjM5
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6ipXRnSkp
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NnkvCBkyK
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH16OY6Xx5w
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMN7gUSFTt
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRMl35LjI7
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQroAn1nEpo
Zarbon took his leave.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lm7FvBr3r
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkybp8Lp1r
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJLQmuNTjG
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Kq9rHF2b
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggbKElda0Y
Raditz chuckled.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEPE21XWdD
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsui8c3SMu
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw1ICUkux5
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyrMTXBZWU
Beep! Beep! Beep!
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKPF0GZIsr
Raditz: “He's here…”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt3Mlmq2jM
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgjcTmkKoo
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY6fe3jpY6
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEHFKX2fdF
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxZCoDZlSP
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QWUrWLVs2
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO8H1LXLQ9
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGDPUZFigN
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoFGv2U1un
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D8sTgrve6
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrmYBiejIN
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHUflDCWBe
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCFGmLSreS
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96RHMLuHSa
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41mQBPtGJP
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDHWYx0NWf
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhJsSXpU0B
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iPR40DeMG
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlk8jnRTHU
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9USyNLurMi
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcrMDQAeVj
Raditz: “Damn it!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91YXpV0dm1
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LCez1OCrp
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc3OpKvGa0
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6rRnGcnZa
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4GsEModvR
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWgBl6pCwZ
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerOMOjWQls
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkLVzGYAje
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ14c4v11z
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrtVoKQBVf
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8QGtl8dWp
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKgQ0NRuCK
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf2KgrscZn
Beep! Beep! Beep!
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTc51MKUwu
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHal27svo3
Dodoria: “What is it?”

Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQEjxy6uFM
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjQcj6CRkA
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAJIISODLj
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1elk9hB3t
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWBvxlzccm
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.

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCZKL1eOv6
Dodoria: “Why you!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEfuGGic7j
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGpVUoNFH2
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGTh0hZaz8
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.

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38lwiaS1Ab
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDLkLWQpcE
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaKHOXlppB
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWPxTnqjlZ
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcep1G2tAtS

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRX72EkeYW

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T42u2j47y
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.

Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiiJ7pOtrT

Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.

Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ242QTCuU9M
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.

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvytStL9iG

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cM6CQg0cC
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlam0koIMfB

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLde7dOwrj

Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16H61gJX0b

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFhXCFd2V9
Kakarot: “Not again!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM85u3qmzk
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.

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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUyhQtwC1J
Kakarot: “Look out!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKgZ9dyLHX
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.

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm9FcBuq8M
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fUKqmNbcP
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQlxRYJ7cm
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ue0Jky7HZ
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGRyRnpVMC

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tbpan5Bir
Frieza: “You again!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtohkNgTNFg
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqXNtG4f5i
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkts7OSIoa
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.

Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcLUUMXjnu

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DXedX904d
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYaogqD7bD
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDAIUbQ2qY
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy2wcNf8ZG
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLvJOFb7ar
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOQjmG52pH
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEn0lTIO0s
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDyDHJ5Wfe
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4vHCapjHb
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5MjBqFA6o
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAcTzWw6Uc
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zCrMwlcxB
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGusFfJACD
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB2CHcwVic
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEimdXvGLnT
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU4CG9OAiT
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk37qWQPKJ
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy7v4UhtNF
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaE0237Acv
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ34A5WB0s
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

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

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrmOVRKF8i
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6wjcaHdaP
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESWPJ6KhYA

Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdpFGkZkgp
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRtiXEnbtd
Kakarot: “It's done…”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaRteALGjK
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxlVVpBwlu
Vegeta ascended into the air.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec0Ho7Aijj
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3Z1hgAzAH
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBchexRNOO
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGQ5Veyu8q
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIsAx1c162
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWeoBr65DL
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNQU0zcSZw
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYGF5Wy1Bj
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH2blOy3QC
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79MLByR6tm
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2hOBMeRYD
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW61TA3itK
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmSMimhtDl
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22psrmF2al
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEDtYPlFdb
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrvvkfaTLT
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC57gNp0KJ
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg3t6xfZyf
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUKBlXWHy6
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoOVBOoHCO
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNKrPP1jxb
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF476ok7Pwn
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTX0Ck9qXY
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBDj90Vivr
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpStVW7dzX
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPodgAfH9ik
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC5GcMzu8x
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpmpfiWdRm
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iUEnDSUPr
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX8wVOLpbM
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y7au5s7q7
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa0v8k9FMU
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qUjo13ygT
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfSXjW3qAa
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApUKm90aSa
He looked at his fist in shame.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAweXSXRjX
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dS0teCmWQ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVdO95orJN
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdGMa41fHd
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63v7SyOMTE
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgghhse4lO
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznMSnKvbRS
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE5RglFCvW
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EVXzAhkI4
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQiMshjEBZ
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic3tYbGl8P
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvkG1VND9G
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMjexX9dHb
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsAuxBcE6d
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPgLBNZ0Os
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..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU7GrMM1el
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko2u97OHUI
Kakarot: “No…”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Sz9jUBpm
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA3REjDvAo
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1Jd65xQTH
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRSRs6x6o8
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVsaxsAClA
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eOWl7RmKB
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaypt5VrnTT
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Np0CSDrqV
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWe9Ipsfoz
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBGrScLCMN
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuql6MLbOy1
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hVhWwjrxm
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisYpQNOg3k
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7z0qeVtRv
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrbLPsvZLo
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjkJFyigyA
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w2ivzSrvQ
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJUD4EllcF
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hr6qOHeeQ
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jfWv6Eige
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwwbsdVMdT
Raditz bowed down in respect.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizXAdLxxHL
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ79snDQ6O
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeG8cjX3zQ
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGQ10KNBv3
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qGIWnpPAk
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb8QoDFFIf
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDxhedKpBU
Raditz: “Right!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPPGtwf7Qn
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIkTm4JdZb
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6n4Fjg72u
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVHMKzoRnN
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6RjlmIAbP
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw3NaVtXPx
Tears ran down his face.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgxhVDUrZe
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?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQbONhtAd1
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiypQ6wp3H
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchbvCJg8XP
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutq4DzhBUz
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNqLN8RTYB
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNVwvNhzyl
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITBO7U2twN
Raditz smirked.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrn8HcXNHj
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmdzbnzPKz
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bCtrSmZjq
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EtYe927D2
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH50aLo5LU
He pounded the ground.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e1qJDVY93
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB3ISjDFyf
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KzqYYwVTp
Kakarot: “To fight!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz3ovQqxte
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7onIHb03dx
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKQZIfmtLg
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPV3421nxK
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6dh1Q9GTh
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf0II9gJSr
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW4kR2oJOo
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z3JKuGO8n
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVodSB596l
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcWFwMYt9z
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYDevc7ckC
Vegeta: “Wait!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1NpFQRYJd
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOadwlVd9o5
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEYOBtW8fH
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8iURXwiR5
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrpRASgq43
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.

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."
