Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFPGiCBMZ5
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd7lBcqweP
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtiVI5n1Ac
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjAfAg0YtS
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy3dQb0oNa
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7hYoiYfH4
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSMFNYNonP
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsxURlJxYf
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmyjosUu0D
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS0JzSlela
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOywT5DREPT
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuh2dBvr7L
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV1qAzWs8U
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡachJrZd0Oi
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WGMU0C837
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qr2oPZfoi
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0VC9bdQZM
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchbT2gMrNa
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokmR5B3ub4
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPpHPgnzpy
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfZWcKBVnf
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D9GRJNh0C
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZLXMeHxjP
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3TBgKeHHA
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwlatFteGM
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhppuKjUxo
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5estM3ePY
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0MAJaQ9sT
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SV6fYfSo0
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBTTAcsDIJ
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlMdVszZCL
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxtSF5wWHZ
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZtpTKoQSH
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQyns1Q3W0
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0nwc7DEXi
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOAFPOEKAW
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNTCJclMBr
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFrK5GmjVZ
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2oSzq9Phn
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu0XGqGlag
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuZ5rbJxSd
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLM305FzSy
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVizhi5w2m
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk1WBiBqxb
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47ShC6OYx6
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mfU67nPb3
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbGwK2Bcjb
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8wjF9r4Fd
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Me6eXM5FU
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQsGDnCxvm
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qteg7WhMM
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr8JoHW2T7
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdtBZRfVWj
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbaqKrDniH
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsNpTJlvzW
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0vqCLnHkw
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZQ4IZt8fC
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rERsN9hK5
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8loG38TJwG
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5L7Xvj0yq
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfZptdCV0O
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC7PrmLCeQ
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrZHIyPRZi
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjXMBaEomT
Beet: “Haaa!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0wZF2gww3
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQCKPw11ht
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDOxBYzU3L
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B0RQCVYUe
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMIDBNy1PU
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKNiDSlyqv
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7sdHN8yIs
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-”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7CXWJqO3r
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C4wghnVG5
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtsLe9ad4L
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp4Y9Wdktq
Kakarot: “Enough”!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95xSZes8U6
Beet: “Huh?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVgPpar73J
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvsy6SPxW7
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPZ9a8rV07
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetNGZAF3SU
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoq5OU6j0R
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsphikFjRZO
Beet: “Right!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvzpTLwqAO
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPpCrSSHvF
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRR3ksBMhh
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgKlLjFvyc
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1HpWGeJZD
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzzi59d9Ro
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhWHnFY3Vq
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm4P5JO8PC
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHXJW3L7TO
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08oiDU2j7P
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0YYmWPKBA
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhndGZgpRy
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP1EnIS3dp
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV8YFZjD13
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pnutNSynn

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIif4Km26qa
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSwU4oz6Tu
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7KUfX3RZB
“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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtEvlO8SFR
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDfwXM0Kzr
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUlkuXPxZ2
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjfOG5PF0O
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNfWocfWTf
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzGLLbB2q2
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU9yKM2y3D
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qEeMDfcwp
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3VH4XiwZY
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxo51rlQ7X
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5wUv07g5D
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWQbPCkoHf
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj1FkxoBqr
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1VnWM1ciN
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dd6noj1F0
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BdrmdzDe1
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrHqbyB2V2
Bulma chuckled.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVRqWge92Z
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXzZVJ1xFL
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxV2GSJpxg
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpih9PpWWL
Beet: “Momm!!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN2j66NyeB
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm4XhiEQmU
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHLGJR23fl
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXIYSo6Q5K
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqWsUel8Wd
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplUqKiTcke
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VrgC7ESzS
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1JxZOwgJB
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrPcXk7zCk
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHdgb8B3Uq
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQreCgyQ57
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUjH47N6vX
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdTsptzKKT
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP2K5ALszy
Kakarot: “Enough!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxurqWeZOyD
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3cDtQns72
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78iQ7Z8fet
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKKkNM9pcy
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMkKKUOQlB
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbBwp7iKsj
Beet: “Sir!!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxXHSpoktG
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5cOE53Tux
Bulma: “Beet!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oSP5zvjog
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Ds2HjQSH
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pwIGbxV9B
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLieWuoQYP
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW4jDJNVLy
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEiO1zYpEc
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFo44xTKz1
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvlXFEp2Vy
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSJOb0zuNE
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMpaZgsRHs
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsFjRSFFGT
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8Cq6m6enK
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mIDiY9mzU
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbcSn2uOII
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxdWJlLh87
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqfrzJ6n65
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUM6UCGUx3
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkzQQFW5gf
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM93QsUoeT
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxRBwaCjve
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86J5i5p7oz
Raditz: “You have my word.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b2W3WTw5F
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BmXmoWmPm
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7W3lxYZ85
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k0UxVxkhA
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcBSF7fina
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2D6Hu43sJ
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?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM0j9QAeZm
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC0qGQlXbM
Raditz chuckled.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfs2pNYIv7
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwNWbBsGtx
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHwClMmiAT
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrZ4YCf1aj
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmTltgzp0U
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlaJHCpxRZ
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeinvSBlcPg
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxhefxoWFr
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUt13kTNrq
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI0nBSSC72
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEjGphU4Hl
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60ApNmHQZ7
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI3id2ijMt
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxMl02JKL6
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WUPirx5D9
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEjOVaX6fA
Raditz took a deep breath.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHweROg5Q2
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEvkVGN4jg
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58CCXwsQA8
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLlleyZwzQ
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35SlcXbp7D
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SENdkHUcF
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?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKivUjI7IXq
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMtND6Msjs
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2ccmM49aZ
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSZmtFKzwN
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsA9727H3J
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOwiOFKT1h
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli9GemBStc
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YyZpNdjQv
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?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcifMM2ZIgJ
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FvbBXdzXr
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMf3zofEKz
Kakarot: “The prince?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9kaG57Uxe
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpueWf9FaII
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EeawbZ4c7
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?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJVAuH5hIL
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJuC5LAEru
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMynHLThkl
Kakarot: “….”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEJnpKKSDi
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCK2YILfEF
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbsuy7UHYK
Bulma hesitated to reply.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn0ZWY7Wxq
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnn8T5HTo7
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmQjkgEpB4
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3jJ38hazc
Beet: “Sir!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXth1hJkC6
He came face to face with his father.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jo3ouAFqc
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoqwYuyeLR
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyepC8uSUqG
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNehzXBdMfR
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnE25crR9O
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnRWgQQYEH
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps0jsZWlld
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiAHJMdy0X
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTTRnvhRFP
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEO51liNRG
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9IoZloZpW
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKESTdSGZgY
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgzzf8ihD1
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzlybofW5w
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.’
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppYtbRQZVo
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXx2UDjwyt
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxuYFErzSy
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxvfALM935
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IWEJfR5rw
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStUHlqczYf
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyoeCZ4j3u
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmkg2Hv6Km
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZAhwV0PP6
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwB1Fijxys
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ128ePKxIQ7
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCkebOcmhM
The prince hesitated.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiBpPWN4sa
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggTRVchygr
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqvlcOMXHM
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L2KbPUPYj
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDMedoIspI
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnndSjo7sJY
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiCfqOod97
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhMOUFXPCj
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS4Q4PMBBe
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMPFsCj7x9
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ8Xjh5xsg
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYfdYgup8A
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe72rByFX4U
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugJz2h35tt
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG3BvWCnXj
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEy0jLoeQw
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8MXn269kl
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGowSPlk3wC
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry894A3CpC
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ImpsnNYRt
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s5aDSuZ4C
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PFA3aVQdi
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgSbxzb5P7
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqalrhrQIO
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?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWISRkY2rP
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJULxn1JJlz
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwXCk9hAIL
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sTwB3AZWI
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY3d7IAFOI
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5Hljr0cXw
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?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Ub0fJR3L
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSGmgAQYB2
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yxtdACQiJ
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ktpwCozzp
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZPSwtqFQh
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?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFtOyWRdDc
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESxH7ZecRS
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeLMSLdhY2
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNjhF6YCSN
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYlm54ixvc
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdl6LmTrnv
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88hv0Kt1wx
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu1P9NEfbM
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPBaA9WNKo
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5kZ7CLxoT
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?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRQCURYDex
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJTg1QVpLT
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeapCJ7M5f
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCN9Mi6m1O
Kakarot: “What was that?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlFbHfOxUE
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIklxNzoT3y
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?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi26BZMpYj
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tGs20Fs9s
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjWFes1Poz
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWWD6WONCo
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqxRhKOB6R
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYKhsWAxaX
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qqRN2MxzM
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIxbR2P2ad
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnk1SyKWal
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsSIuC3JZS
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHnxCQkzSa
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLeDtyWhK8
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINx0p7vyMK
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9F9axjWDo
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo8jVRycSO
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wobz88tdN
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIgoT4DP0X
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIFmghqYvK
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWx2GxAuct
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ztjm2vQEW
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MS2su6oX6
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHVc32a77Q
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr6Y7FErCy
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVUybbZWGd
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eGhp6xEH1
“Your foot is on my tail!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3paryM7sEo
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHKybe4Hcz
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR2umWPJZi
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ObOXa1O9W
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC63HSu7Rat
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPxAvBraMO
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrblQq6PoEX
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gaGq9wZbs
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz944Hvs4Q
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oQsSZn5L6
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?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydnTFOnwdx
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw73g6d14Z
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyCFfIFQqg
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDl9VBDY6P
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcTXPKzqAU
Kakarot smiled.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oDVMZMzVK
Kakarot: “Understood!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE4jUTbdDa
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8R3JhTMkm
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2015Y4zBRG
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lYPUON4bm
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmOnd4PSUJ
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkeklHjdkZ
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTSKCPaETE
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY1JUOFmlX
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbt9bq3TR5
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw9A9inI7h
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN9idX36N5
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41vCSu2El9

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6noIoGUQr

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2lOewGVvS
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBcMoIiqGY
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0aKFEnXxR
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEq49Yk9Ev
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhS5ftBsMB
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQJriJ3UwC
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjVEVvQTxU
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp92faMEMk
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIc9CvqP2c
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeZVpKpwMQ
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI1LuU69SV
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlab8SrFkdZ
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLdrLECbz9
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1JwBQqOIA
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhIyxNwu2o

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMeH7TnYFR

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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dmkBmjqZf
Kakarot raised his arms in the air, he savored his victory for winning had never felt so rewarding. He shouted at the top of his lungs.

Kakarot: “Huh?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVi509L9Pc
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuYvOeZ5R5
Raditz: “Why you!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB78Br2tVZ
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMfFJz9Cz2
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP2u4jdTxE

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8aG3PpqAV
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB73CsGqVOW
“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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToN3bekylc
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRjy0AGSXB
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?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVRjO8xlby
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx7AdkxDHq
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aFlUcS6F4

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8srauRTbqj
Doctor: “I will sir.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5pKAuwaEn
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6ccBBg84X
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”

Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCObtjMGQL1
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D6sCh8y3O
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws5LwoQhru
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY45BxZhNp
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?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQWVW7RMOp
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nH7N9SPkf
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZK9Tntvty
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFy9vznDG8
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.”

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBkIsgcu01

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnJ1PgXJJ5
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPprh01wli
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoQE2MNlDS

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZbhMmLM28
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbkU7k5wvZ
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHw1s6lCKY
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?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4cH6KGulk
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzTvMPgtxF
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMermDLeFq
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTeaZvKYkT
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKCSmORFMX
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC36T6jf7U
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKR3yDZSPY
Raditz: “I will..”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4cIRCrwNP
Raditz turned to his comrades.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJRCmw4KZK
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFJsLkrdP6
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOWFyxXqbR
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqCYv4qQGW
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhObHKa5FS6
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyR1G6gxoj
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMvrUYJYMG
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV5tfyAMu6
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLAhUz3X9R
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzhr8NZJQt
Beet: “Okay!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnCi4sHT6R
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEzd4kWc33
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwjBrpaQUA
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK26tVcy7Ss
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkws7d91SV
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKL0CwteSB
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWtvmBzL0v
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6stHogOw76
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZCzJLahW7
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB4A5OOMUS
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbSSBfIvD1
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIQm6uR7EE
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwGooukH2c
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncupLAKCAx
Beet: “O-Okay.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAL9otJSSS
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnQSKRuK5N
Kakarot: “What happened?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljtB5bdT3L
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrLZMzOf1M
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc6t5zsrWo
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVSqNhb3RB
Kakarot: “Fine.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNFM5BBp7q
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LH3BXNs17
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xInOH9Sbc
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr7fSak7hB
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIqNYI7Xtb
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCrWgbCqDx
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDmyOvZDOX
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSTe4hidDY
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHDqwsfLY6
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfUxPA0uRp
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8CsCDNpxs
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR33FLhFz0
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXEywmaZSy
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrjgYkmu2J
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRU8J1HewY
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxrqo1LNr8
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYpttf5dRS
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjLPTmUO7Z
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O9BG5jNh3
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FYK9oAo2u
Raditz: “Understood.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstTRMyPN3b
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7wqHoY73g
Raditz departed from the room.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H1HC9rbTe
“Haaaa”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o7E31KFm9
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz3tzSYLD9
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOG0hoZK3o
Kakarot: “Right.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY0Hyrhdkp
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3YtXOYxGx
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXmp47Ws84
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Asezznsi2
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57TUGsaJpD
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxARy2PXsE
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4aQQsIYP3
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyh7kp7LIv
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc80eNfAtE1
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy2L0TQ8kl
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkYL5kZZZt
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysZ6Agcgnw
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm734ZQwab
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FtU8sSleC
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKkxvMl0jA
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡionpXnSa0S
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QgjDvHN8x
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWtIsCvCvO
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrOMlN7lHf
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgAkJKpOP7
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0btHlyDJ14
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0SXoFzFD6
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJgpf9RsRY
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQkr9BUoN4
Kakarot turned around.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q3XuPdMwR
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUQf0EaoXg
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI60u7qlGC
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?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUzO10pCUO
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37ehzhMNZ1
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHoqGpEuwG
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVtvPQlJXf
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ6dutFgXw
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGK9jlg6cR
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9YVkLWiTV
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfJNIjziLR
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo1CfYTPYJ
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi4ZU9xA51
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8uxSkcnrC
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUezxjSKOq
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBiheEaLgx
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL1e7EdLEp
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb3ylugcIq
Kakarot: “Right!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjLKDuFqOr
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWZTtiNlYh
Kakarot: “Yes?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZarkok6G2
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdFp59t2Kl
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZUC1ydDwQ
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNE9WEB6et
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu84D60JJP
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRgB38mIPJ
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNei6i3Nf8r
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS8vs9SKCI
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96jAoq8YcX
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUARXMQlik5
Raditz turned to his brother.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwTGJSTncv
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aYZSiUtad
Raditz: “Right..”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHb6kuRR3D
Raditz took off with his pod.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2MvKbxzMP
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAI67IBbDK
“Let me take a look.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdbk4nuK6k
Beep! Beep! Beep!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjpHDZqfJP
“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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUyNOGxgNZ
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlqG2vwIl4
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVXbbXVlFw
He bowed in respect.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV1ssgkE0j
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RFdS6tqDt
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4kQ2yG4RP
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1YLsuBdyB
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKenhqSZhNQ
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHjyjxl8ky
Raditz: “As you wish.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7wsUPiHJh
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrmSTyXm6S
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGTVTpu5dn
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQynw3xXqY
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbwmDL8fgL
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyHPI2oYk3
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NzlulRjOw
Zarbon took his leave.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUREcTfbfl
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODvqVHLbKP
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpVmYA90Ba
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d87qpOsGU
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNybFVbIAVU
Raditz chuckled.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivtoDIys1e
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2vKftEsZF
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9mFTPA9Kt
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWAN4QFali
Beep! Beep! Beep!
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AvHb5dnQS
Raditz: “He's here…”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L279cbete
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELSVHQVVup
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhluCbOd7f
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepYsgUfLQ2
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGCrF5pF4g
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG68pFrF4Qe
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFxcWf2fOm
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX0aJTAGmF
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5Dy6Vo4Np
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF6SO6C6lb
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgznsWgU1mB
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWbrmQTbDK
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotvvjeCVY0
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRdEYup2KJ
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu5voIX41l
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UPgPAshEV
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fiqR1LVUZ
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD0FMZnPsH
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBNam8YyTN
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPUQF6enVA
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A1fX2IV0t
Raditz: “Damn it!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9sBhcwnDW
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1fZJBM1RQ
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39kmOlJWlO
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjXPRykp7e
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrLsqI3HSa
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqiisiqFeh
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBNAPBqjkG
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV90ZUUr1E
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ624eSlYhcP
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLnoRtqtzs
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGUUcfGZfz
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacv0r9G4YS
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSG42OEHOe

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgLrqTNkhN
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDTtQDCHyi
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSMCc2NCU1
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMNQsWm3JA
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnR5LezYvt
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJYWVQcJt3
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mcBdPeRTI
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZKC3CCVDE
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmxgUcji8x

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmM3X46mtt
Dodoria: “Why you!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbSsfuxmIb
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WIMTphHIi
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrWqqKkilR
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuUnoT82rr
Zarbon: “Damn it! It's really come to this hasn't it? Take a good look saiyan, this is the last thing you'll ever see!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcpLB5XdES
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamjEF5LsTb
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffNr15nzcl
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6l0RbNz5R
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMcFicVjC8
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ERBtnMpfN
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP3qg1OeMn
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkViA8n2Bv2
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLtXREBSqp
Vegeta: “Huh?”

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucPiKcNSYa
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gfLy331Fy
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcj81KBjHZ
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGYItuA9qZ
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeiLfhxB2Q
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjnP4EMqNH
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN81FBRCMme
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.

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

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPypCwDN7ui
The tyrant’s body went through a terrifying metamorphosis. His limbs enlarged at different rates and proportions. His power level burst through the roof, the saiyans began to lose their composure as fear took over their consciousness. Frieza ended his transformation, revealing his true strength.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuokMGFktO
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”

Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5fUMVIa3B
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGErFdaxrJv
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6u3rB1fDM

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaO7EWxHiu
His body grew as he morphed into the beast known as the Oozaru. Zarbon watched in fear as his opponent grew to a massive size. Raditz stomped on him, killing him immediately. He spotted his allies, noticing their struggle.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWxMiXqg3j
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETz6BBOzpI
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GXKHVYZs8

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDE0oYIPwy
Frieza: “Y-You-”

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPzTVvVhuJ
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBXeJUDBoW
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7zrlFURuc
Kakarot: “Not again!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahxnLB5kil
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgH3lM4hJ5
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYmVhd1XEp

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaE1tJEXa4
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltd5sVMiNV
Kakarot: “Look out!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHaXWdclyz
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.

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP2CYdxhPz
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZmjPhGliO

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFtGbYz8zh
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmfBSE0UGR
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AbUJpYVDZ
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh6dTPrr7T
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCugts4nro
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw6H0yDdxa
Raditz unleashed his most devastating move. Frieza stopped it and dispersed the attack with a single hand. He flicked his hand towards himself, pulling Raditz closer with telekinesis.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB4s2qtW1Z
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmz7byU1L1

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWfIkH22Gv
Frieza: “You again!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2MTaGVCer
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2QgCg2WHX
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWF5sCC3Yo
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlOwl5BsJP
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGDwI8LoFO
Kakarot landed a knee to Frieza's gut. He balled up his hands together and slammed them into Frieza's back. Frieza fell straight down but caught his balance before crashing against the ground.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nAxacSrTd
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqd2C10rAH
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHUOjzVBgQ
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbMid9BFgc
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlwO6Kqhzi
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm56M64aoHa
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKE4WYrzcI
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydYWr6Oe7K
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTO0qUI2ZY
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmhJPl8Iup
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2TjdPd9c2
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5leJ2W07Au
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZNvz9RSnx
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV27rAIxzT
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqstl8kZBOy
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBWr2Kdp1p
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ493PruS7I0
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07UWcBm9jj
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFy1FSn2Xf
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle8EOPU4cC
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTXZK0O5ue
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vwR7Q5DC8
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ1yk0OhvX
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TR0FSWHMh
“Haaaaaa!!!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyfLqF0nEB
The trio used the distraction to find an opening in Frieza's attack, piercing through it and hitting the tyrant head on with their combined power. The destructive force of their beam sent Frieza crashing down.

270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRs0SA1IOM
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrGpWcsw8B
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm9uXFF6Sf

Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ASnc5FzaV
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbZBqOiEQv
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajddB3lXQO
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgEvJbsx54
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWeg1VrXpk

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkBlpmSard
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPsdawKeJr
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWWReE7Dwz
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.

Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzgHGgMLOB
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiDb99cXbx
Kakarot: “It's done…”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8in9t3vEa
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxlHJnQ2Uq
Vegeta ascended into the air.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVPsxdewrQ
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa4Prle9Hv
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi0TkIBEBR
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCv7uSxNyG
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzId4YG5SOM
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfcY5Akh1E
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY1cw8co9w
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJNLQfJ3EL
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdPhCfzPSl
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyFcwszseM
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C2wRKau40
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVvqatV33j
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcPY7Js3d9
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw5oxiV6oe
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24Il0Vgxo8
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQB3GiUhNz
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJizL2ScWP
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumXC0J5l4X
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVrwXm5kgg
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU8FOqH1nc
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09BAm6PWn0
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSWRHIYw8n
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5PEd2PMIa
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO601ORjEh
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI0izws2nb
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yXAqUgpvd
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CZZF09SDP
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdws2VnuhE
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilvwrXLtBL
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD91b2KsYPz
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtYxo7XygI
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkKNgpOy5N
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlBv6FjCsC
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7yFArGNcx
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFTsyuaR1C
He looked at his fist in shame.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqEn3p8CRD
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqF4dDzVNV
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMFZkqUVXG
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9lSPk94IB
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsR2Uyq2Ct
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaFStKArPx
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn6QINDYFV
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbZATrWL03
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIybd3B3FJF
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71m1m6QUt8
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYcQlKzOtI
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HsrRxMGvV
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcqfLPCmHF
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSaKFCivDe
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubEpcELtfm
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..”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROxB6Bc7Pv
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtmhRcAfS0
Kakarot: “No…”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXADDCAjF3
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN3bqReU6v
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YdQS3wais
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm83hr4XR4
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgqSZTOPfH
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuwbeLDxVB
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZuVix0SC3
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeniXU1scD
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLeyH2nz20
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpBDhSvQLP
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DDlahRr0B
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQFvHc64IF
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBAjEp5fsj
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPs8y73k5y
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX54qEH1869
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LqF8JfiLF
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKDf0dSbyg
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV24Ztp32S
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24dd7TTyRc
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGscMcCdUF8
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDqIdDHF8i
Raditz bowed down in respect.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeO0TyCKnT
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06QfoYZrwk
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzNRJmdubI
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA8LmJpXmP
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kGX754MdE
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu7t1uFtcU
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKOUvSDbx8
Raditz: “Right!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuNkdsrU1k
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3XHeuMnmA
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySg2BdUIB4
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVunLZLP92l
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6FpzpRRhp
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHZuvERr1E
Tears ran down his face.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyAWFcTiXH
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?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1uR7uUPda
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5R2nnLw5C
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnMBi41Zp5
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPtg60pXOb
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAlqsWAeJ9
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSfFW5ZLjD
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgobMDQERX
Raditz smirked.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwgtqQbWzq
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlLXypX9YK
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4rViNN43c
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx3bMozIhg
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcKkiK30vG
He pounded the ground.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc4IK856ci
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifEdxPZb4c
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf3SrL8sGU
Kakarot: “To fight!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdS4685bei
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx24U2QBpse
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hPEDiQT4z
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0M010hVKy
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHWd8FZpWv
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnsMM3We2Q
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ti37KK5dd
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ8a127Ckk
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEePNJnW4O0
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!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdvf4UJ0hd
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.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWtEdRU7o0
Vegeta: “Wait!”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP2jafHamx
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWBoPWwvQX
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5ol9IdsBa
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6wSSlnN40
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mokX5jSxT
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcuJvk7pLc
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."
