Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMgI2zejKzy
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVW99PaB4un
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmLJzgNjnym
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAg9PSqLS5XN
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMoVyig0eu3
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAH8qXMkCdhA
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAAoYgAUO5xg
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAke8zSv8sFP
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZnKmjnk8t
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcwJNjbUtpt
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkAEl1PTRHc
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAR6F1tC2GQg
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzdTpzM5nI5
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMMOM6bKngh
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ3uzODgKF
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqqOuYQdPDC
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdmERYe9vGG
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6462DaGG2P
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAld4nSgVqQ7
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAhcQT2vKLft
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA8eH3nn891K
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjLX1C2FSKB
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAS7Cm1sRask
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4qDSa6tueo
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAAhDLRKOe3q
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAaugTPYS4MX
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmAh3ifNelb
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcchV1FbS4R
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPcfuu1Xc4C
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5y5KH7dQpp
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASKKg5pvbh7
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqcmma7ngQR
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAAiv80xj1SV
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1Mlzo4AZqu
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAAezUtj7StA
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgcW6RIbrG2
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqDwgOp4l3q
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7h1Gu5KjH3
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYmd4eJLbY7
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzI0IW2yUD8
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAk8UIQcqwtP
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOiAanhMctU
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYA3pfYiZ1s
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA28wWHNE0DU
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXYzJYsVQ3X
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAiDQUNda4tZ
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAahbDbk1FLv
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2Sd5m0xSRl
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxVqia9Kmdf
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAy2KtoVe0Zm
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmZ47i2CdGp
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAh9IEqQWx7h
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcouKvxSOuY
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAD54OAV5wPR
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwycUs224Gh
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYyrMs9cbbx
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcyGyIzud4P
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArVUED2tqeo
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjZkp8sfa3q
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
460Please respect copyright.PENANACQ37ppnjk6
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjoNCnGDekQ
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAV8rO6uYvW4
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANACA6Ia7Hub3
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArkRfK4Lzqm
Beet: “Haaa!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsyomepVqNf
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJcsWRkz07c
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2kCI40px13
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIL5w6UWyZ4
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVytMgpMD7P
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHJD6JQF3BG
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZbkVZMKCxF
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-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0Askb1cMAN
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWrMD2H0DPY
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATSjdBYAzK2
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnI0JmqZH24
Kakarot: “Enough”!
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbS5G4mdP7b
Beet: “Huh?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAyq6vQAFauH
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAiM3gsxXZe8
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAodkuIqbCZc
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPmDtzed0AD
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAITPBBNdYJ0
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2p1Q1Pg6Nd
Beet: “Right!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJpyzGxTOfQ
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIDohbhE1Mh
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAUgE8KTExb4
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIE1WrHfWGM
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJPqPJM6dyb
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA10KrSLmSgy
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqvQ6etYAir
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9kJ8nfH57K
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkKds85AqNM
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAiivQ5w7Sex
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAUlfPAxEovs
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAhkerNRMXZa
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA3X1P54vzc6
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdVGGB2wHix
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfWRaUmAn3g
Bulma: “I love you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsUsufzwpQs
Kakarot: “I love you too.”

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
460Please respect copyright.PENANACxWH63RlXU
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZCTURjkSWj
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA8zO6FGE52U
“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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANANVW97UJ8qW
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoEsT5CZdgb
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIZMW3gcGAC
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgP6pGxyY92
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
460Please respect copyright.PENANArQcNgjMfQ9
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ3TW8Eykb
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6bz821ouQq
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzjN0fRtHIM
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6pFTf02lz5
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA02pn8aBigK
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZfmEKQ5u3U
Beep! Beep! Beep!
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPRABZWFzH2
“It works just how the rumors said they would. With this technology, tracking frieza's movements will be a breeze.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7hcvt6olW4
“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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARQo3m9fbDd
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4VWllPOPto
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYPUiFp8t6c
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA8mTFLfdKVD
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKSfrMliiVx
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA8UEwgGJqEK
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA93XIhYHEOS
Bulma chuckled.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAAFrDZJXQpK
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmIq6bdlzHe
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHsiYtprkfc
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAk14BI9BK56
Beet: “Momm!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHpwidwDQ7A
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoeox3YJVgp
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAeGgb5XH8dE
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1UxcxIsmgf
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
460Please respect copyright.PENANALsygHwGeaC
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA06sDQsWSOh
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFRKgBKmC7t
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5exXO9vaTv
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
460Please respect copyright.PENANARC4Yn8vz6H
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJyg8upJAzr
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEGIDk4gJcZ
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1aDvL6QmRE
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAopOTgSEqPx
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwl3P02Qula
Kakarot: “Enough!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7KO6L446Z
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAeAnUEhRdE9
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmp8RSYUgQM
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7CTSeLIUoc
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdFROanHWlm
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAclXHbFvgYv
Beet: “Sir!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfjIK2Z7mqR
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJXZQIYHhfJ
Bulma: “Beet!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4M2JheYA14
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMnOdEMowCA
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkcBPQ3x2yV
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANABIY6HYmW2s
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXMg6ivyctk
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1hBgiiB1I4
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVVtkrKW7ie
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOGdi5SIwa1
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIuswAg8aEe
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?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzTXWycMy4T
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAeJRYlqXGg1
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALlvwxkXQBv
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlgBQkjSu22
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAA9KVSniHzb
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASS67iSnADX
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ0ebtb8N5
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAhkEmiGcRex
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0vCnu9q8Iy
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANACb6ThMjGpo
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA3lNz1Bv3lz
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAUHbkvPzbUC
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAByhXQmcUHR
Raditz: “You have my word.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHH1kBDiPSh
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMNGK0z4VgS
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAyU46vrGom4
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvcv0ZcGEoV
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7mTk89IAVF
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANABndfE2g8kt
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?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmwGM0xbS4J
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbZLZIbIuMC
Raditz chuckled.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAf8Cd9ApR1v
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5l8mnnmEji
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoBnkiSb4Bl
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARAfrwra6Ob
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATJ4LIFVdKb
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7T79WUG1DM
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgGfouCmkSw
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjJbTz1jH3U
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9YgzvoaHr
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAswAXYHSjE6
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvPwLiiqB3M
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArszPQAYKLs
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAUjTDMVuqvt
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbPI4zar90C
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKFrZLFVPHt
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2VTIQCcfqU
Raditz took a deep breath.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAL6MCxsnps8
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6ba1aeaJt2
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7i1dz4C6kd
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAenmvt14ene
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVTcDcIH2sx
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAd4D089VWvG
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?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjkImMBAWbY
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAh5UYUhFba9
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMSOB06naU5
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWqTFgiZUUW
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArD6fmkIs2B
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkwVTmPY30F
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAObjf5TeRj3
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEjZDEvnaRN
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?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAje7eW9Ld0x
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7hAAP6yLnw
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIOiTyNn5vL
Kakarot: “The prince?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMG4SVcPHGg
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANABcP3b2dc56
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcurPVKBYMt
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?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5exArwvLV1
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANACDsjX9xtOh
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPQvcODSaDE
Kakarot: “….”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAl7kQpcPyoc
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArqixUlwyHm
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARntGGDeRPw
Bulma hesitated to reply.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPjAY8kQJbL
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArQ0ubS5xQr
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgv5s4FDTlQ
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXaXp7yLTUT
Beet: “Sir!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAC43Dpb0fDt
He came face to face with his father.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAuqRMBYWnV5
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAB8KAgqIF7c
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
460Please respect copyright.PENANACAUIOnbt8G
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANABRvsnJfCXV
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANANdmmQjWkm0
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqG7qWOXzsl
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAuNHUtIO8Lx
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkgFoPCxGGl
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARtq9M3dEfm
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoeRum1un41
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAj6NpGFO6Dw
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7MV4VvQeI2
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFr1ZSWApt2
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5SIizhIOIX
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.’
460Please respect copyright.PENANADWKA9xvyiM
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqOogNKzZaM
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARM1pAMSqIO
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKUl61Ff57v
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATYlaxcfemE
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANADoGuQZ9SAs
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANABrnN0JLf0W
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5Y613G9d2c
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvrZX6tAvq4
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAi91ylDkMcC
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4V2sb255ZG
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcOLur0C3yL
The prince hesitated.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgyjbUflF2U
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFq1sr0Fnvq
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA42CsBmxYfg
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALfueE2PtoZ
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4xkHHmCKyS
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVcZKFf5eup
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMUvMpsZBan
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEElV5bqbrS
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYLznyS1KfQ
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbEyQ7PuRtL
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1iAeUhcigU
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKn4W1TtXt4
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANADhAMCexR7P
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjPMjPyRkWu
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATxtThZWAsv
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7VkqqVvOQ7
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAywHMQvAkxE
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2XnNkJW17f
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGhZV965tWz
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAledVuM96jN
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvWYlty0bkx
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANADW0PsPLzI9
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwl4ttE57vW
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxWxPBpJUS3
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?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0kus9pF7Sz
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWpWJ6XTd9l
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlgeQ81klBT
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAuFNkjNmFUp
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAP6KUB3zsMy
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMqapeJG2jy
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?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAiBNmynD4fS
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA8xbtYJvMzu
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAINueCOMPZV
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA68pQVoqInu
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxUrRDVbz7X
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?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnnT6tdguOZ
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA661zPVn3Px
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqFHCkCH5uG
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzJE9JNHz8S
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAUbM8xRImxb
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAtck66A0emf
460Please respect copyright.PENANAO3YQkj8xr4
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ717eEC5S
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAUTwg4A4LER
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAiqqd1Co0RD
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?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4M3AubanlJ
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAAxkppM6I8G
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASISBdfdJ9E
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzUqq3go7eJ
Kakarot: “What was that?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANANPw9TlC2m6
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKthzTtDFDd
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?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWsSEeXRPs3
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWfut4GT488
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdnYxIJD6Xi
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAeqFIXN68X2
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAtfREURsx2W
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAos934I32OA
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAB1pHb8EWuG
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPLolmBQvog
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALkq54eBTjw
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANABAj1kkK9pD
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdT5UQsBeFw
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKGjxoL7JcJ
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAl7f4Vvism4
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOEVmc7vzVS
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvO9tXddp0m
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANApjKEsTHMGb
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAtBbufT0JLc
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANADVeGIxPQ90
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlLcpRi7tmZ
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqha9UwNnS8
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdvSgkUIKBg
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbWOARY1SlK
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsgIXhznbI0
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6a2DfWmZgm
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGhDEVa2gn2
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqb16fb7zVm
“Your foot is on my tail!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgfRopQ9RcG
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcQbBL7kuoH
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwW9QMTlyyz
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEG6NOILXwa
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlEwGW1t073
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgDMpNkHlGW
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAx3DCB7xOrU
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAD2YApSYJWs
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZb36BvjQmD
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAf5Tke8LUuB
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?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAL6vCiOXWTR
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
460Please respect copyright.PENANACoWVRxKsNr
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvfMNf666fa
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAL3Cysi25gZ
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9psZE2RZlq
Kakarot smiled.
460Please respect copyright.PENANATWOZZwGShD
Kakarot: “Understood!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAD140uziiR7
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWiLbjOPcKk
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAiAjawCjZVz
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJcZa1eRqMW
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANANCveRwkfj2
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoa7wQSux32
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA79y7NIPSWs
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlt0KJDrPaR
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAAiVV2ZsDMo
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAtnVL8Ipi2n
Vegeta chuckled.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6kOXpfxrDJ
Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbvFbCP9iJn
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKfyTSggoLE
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAi0xkHCoj4a
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJnMfp1jvyo
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAM2e2smwTGM
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9lkPgJcY86
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcgntHjuxxU
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOa2jJRw81A
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKiIvEQ3rb5
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.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdCJIs7s712
Raditz: “What the hell? His power level is growing!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7donna4Bne
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgvmU3Es5jx
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAS3O7sWuPt3
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA83xrRFzp5M
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoowoUP3T5f
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAroM8vvdTPw
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMhokdTO8qR
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5nhuCDJcUr
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALXufVZmhIl
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAH1Y14EFecY
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAb8b8H0hO4u
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1AkKKnlXYZ
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4rMqPVBQSC
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANADcTyNo1GOe
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjrId7LJ7sw
He took a peek at his injuries.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjhsa8AJs6f
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4iO7twPPjB
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAz1CxkposhQ
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwNOjI2THuS
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAyz45dUycyq
Vegeta: “I think you've made us all proud today, boy.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwjKnRkN3CN
Kakarot accepted his superior's compliment with a smile.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2fHgV9Bc5
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
460Please respect copyright.PENANAL6ilGC5u6s
Raditz: “Kakarot! Look out!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4ym6zGWYlj
Kakarot: “Huh?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANACpM6wmzTJr
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAAs9erF5szc
Raditz: “Why you!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwXrZsQ7tHD
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKDn4lQRyKo
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAiaLmtr7T99
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAuBqqw35IfS
Kakarot: “What… What h-happened?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAeaPjskQXyC
Vegeta: “Save your breath, boy. Get him to the ship, if we make it back in time, he'll be able to make a full recovery.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGufCaDbEya
Raditz: ‘Right!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxkoznFZtEN
Raditz carefully lifted his brother and took him aboard.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAp1qBT7Usba
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPzDgPswnv8
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVt9k5nVkt0
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
460Please respect copyright.PENANARP8WgBsD55
“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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2C6ROAAIlZ
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPzXHA9cqNR
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?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPVjg2L3l77
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsQBmokNAHj
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2LgnTGxwQU
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOLQwXt9htj
Doctor: “I will sir.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6v4cpZgRHV
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4FywdQPnlN
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7WlrQ9WNEL
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAyxgjCtaxkr
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ3iXAuoXZ
Kakarot: “I see. I don't feel anything though.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPsdFkbGPwr
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAneq2MFZeaM
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANANUUQ6Kffb0
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAC3j3odQKaf
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfygw4VOJqh
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARQ8gHcbbxL
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXlJwqHBzo9
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?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKQljyhz19m
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwWnu06S7Ss
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAM0ISts4SlL
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEbmgp2gvZ1
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4x21oFN0h2
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1BSxLGbp0N
Raditz: “Yeah, you sure do.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnsPcFTO5Jr
The brothers shared a laugh together.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA94dIP62E4J
Beet: “Sir!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYOaSjVkKis
The boy eagerly rushed to his father and greeted him with a firm handshake. Kakarot smiled and patted his head.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ88bgGnaw
Bulma: “You came back sooner than I expected.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5DvHAit7Zc
Kakarot: “I couldn't stay away for too long, so after some consideration, my brother and I convinced the others to migrate to earth. That way we don't have to be apart throughout the process.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAR53SCjS9TU
Bulma: “Wait, what? You brought them here? Are you crazy?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4qcnaKVi7S
Kakarot: “They're great people, I promise! I trust them with my life.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArHXZd3OxAe
Bulma: “This isn't just about you anymore! I want to be able to trust them with mine and Beet's lives too!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALa9re2xxH2
Bulma looked over at her son and gently patted his shoulder.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAH3BUrKw6e5
Bulma: “Go play outside okay? Let me and your father talk.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAUIdH0kL7tG
Beet: “Yes mom!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5AJbPEYQ1H
The little boy made his way out, trying not to acknowledge the tension in the room.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2Pcv7GOkt6
Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmHN9yvkCIZ
Bulma: “I'm not convinced, we've achieved peace and yet you insist on bringing the fight back to us. When does the violence end?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANApOyHfeEqdP
Kakarot: “When we win.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKL8oP7C5kf
Bulma: “And what considers us the winners? What happens when survivors of their conquests come looking for revenge?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANACOcuvScKIX
Kakarot: “I’ll stop them.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4R9BSZFm7L
Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJXRbLApfFN
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArNmxtTWviO
Bulma: “It is when that desire puts us all at risk!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEDsYJAi7Cz
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxqkghXuzJd
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAb3PmBRrGka
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2mOxQon23g
Kakarot: “Beet!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqeMa75SSAD
Beet: “Yes, sir?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAUB6rj2KJzB
Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAaUeazcLvh2
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqnH15orZ3z
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATB4suD56Na
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAina0ZZ2YSs
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsmJtMd2J3i
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANApa0CGZQL7y
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAj50BPM2x7g
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqTmjdxnAXE
Kakarot: ‘My apologies, I had some other business to attend to. As you all requested, I've brought my boy. Beet, these are the last remaining saiyans. They're like you and I, you'll learn a lot from them as I have.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAeH1p3uW2Fz
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXDPk9QKowQ
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwGVbi1tXcK
Beet: “I'm Beet! I've heard a lot about you guys, you're all so awesome in person!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHTAqflKynB
Nappa: “I like this little one!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA8QfZCFzdvE
Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfoDeP2OJwy
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPZPaOIvteG
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1pwMrZswdu
Vegeta looked down at the cheerful boy.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwYzXSFc38q
Vegeta: “Raditz, I'll give you the honor to test the boy's strength yourself.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGPQuvHqAQe

460Please respect copyright.PENANAEbKR40J1HS
Vegeta: “I don't care, do it again.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZZnT1iaD8r
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
460Please respect copyright.PENANADb8w2Kq1NO
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANACzxLcSoxRe
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAt95yLZXLSF
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgSvYEG6wGW
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA3RhDbIvmA3
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANApZkUCKxdei

460Please respect copyright.PENANANTxJhNpGeY
Raditz: “I will..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANApUb2L1pax7
Raditz turned to his comrades.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVRvIlGmT3f
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANADQOgc5zH3U
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqCxXVzKfMx
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMTbKLpXpBZ
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
460Please respect copyright.PENANArrknYzQgvU
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA8GuLl6EX36
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXAn6fa9Xu5
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAx4bUM3W78u
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAape98NLtJn
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALvCQWq3V4N
Beet: “Okay!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnIIq5xNi2S
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAt2rMCn8YyA
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZJSVn9jT93
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAf1bF33FwfX
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAuqFXkMtqiP
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAAxe8V01a7X
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.

Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWtXc0dFGoz
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmdmKfoRkwe
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKd5cyfgWTR
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAujIPFmz1cD
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvpUPNPg9za
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgIGij54Bfe
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYFHBLpJyXs
Beet: “O-Okay.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsuyEaxW8hD
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnDa1zut7HP
Kakarot: “What happened?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKCJzGtu8Go
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0PGFVUXtYb
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxz04KFlHAf
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAavefyKqRRk
Kakarot: “Fine.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA8tvv1AAlTO
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA63xzcLsqMV
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcXZj5h08lh
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbJHzipz10u
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAyn2k9wXTK7
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6yQyDSPAmt
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsMZLWNdlBF
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlkWJfhAELM
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMDEAOI5GHR
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANABWKxykTfGa
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJPNjVO6ORL
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfgKmOsWVbw
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAhk2yeajWBx
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWsXxmaGW6w
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwmHiTmarHQ
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA39PNEfn2KJ
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAv7pDFgHtEs
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAE6tbHpgpbA
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAA6sK9y6Ofp
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2AYFOOHAUh
Raditz: “Understood.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANApxOoxDeP1P
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAg4uauFr9bC
Raditz departed from the room.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbwhAG3MYYv
“Haaaa”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFqGK1EwCpn
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAtQvlkvuppt
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEhbXPicudh
Kakarot: “Right.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPr65Bw2kaB
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVZME3ShO9Q
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJjocMaPyZL
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATb21Z66ox0
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlEIl5KIRuP
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANApFTt3QNPd1
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMikned5qli
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAry9h7ZLQ0Z
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALkOovQ97jO
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA590crr30ji
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVQhBOZbj1n
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArdzJAc090o
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA59GDk94mKW
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAO4mzsb2mir
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxmkR3lNjvm
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAz9HcBYMFq0
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcCwNqrkVHY
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAegvlOWLXnd
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAirF4hS5dDG
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAaEixvmhwMW
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfkMHhckl4B
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPxW5IwTUJq
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAV8Fa0gVcZz
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgkuwu2aCtZ
Kakarot turned around.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4I7EwTtvET
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAra9NHSkiE3
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARgpW2ZDcUR
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?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdSsdiGreyz
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAA8W0qov4qL
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoxOi6pkqMW
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA614Uj9i11B
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0C6xaY6s1s
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA92jCpC8q1X
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlhPK9I9gPq
460Please respect copyright.PENANALnr0QgbFaw
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWGHjwhLfMb
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9mxwRehsvj
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASUGbtSj6vl
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAraJ1qILpzE
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3pSHRLTiU
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALR6uuxdagj
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJpIVR7TuQT
Kakarot: “Right!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvtGB3V5yM5
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcYFqn2S1xA
Kakarot: “Yes?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAe6gLMEwV40
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7shJKYffbY
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwV3Wzd0AKY
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA15qgLLOPtB
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARpe3w193Xj
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdezDS8ds5Y
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAN8M73QY7z8
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjEGcKRkOar
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQwFpRD4MUP
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAypO2hxJRM3
Raditz turned to his brother.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkeZOVtXUZx
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAi16YcQbjwP
Raditz: “Right..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA3mApIZ0kx0
Raditz took off with his pod.
460Please respect copyright.PENANADBBCOH3sQg
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6JKX6Ow2u3
“Let me take a look.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAeMcNzKgQdG
Beep! Beep! Beep!
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfbdzoKXeVP
“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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYSVQ9yhRbm
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAreCRv9omU4
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANANqXM0N3xUz
He bowed in respect.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYAg3VravE6
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA26FP562ZGE
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5wucb3R0Ob
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPa9lDbVmLh
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHQnONs6yZu
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2S26C4PDH7
Raditz: “As you wish.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfGvhWiDFAl
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvdPugF5uDS
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2j64nU1Hei
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASGMjJ32S5s
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPdlUN1PqJM
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWGqOml37is
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1NrDkZefNj
Zarbon took his leave.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgXXWT4gB6Y
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ5fDWr2mC
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFcYy7xXCdE
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5QXHmsugyI
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKDjHUnhJM7
Raditz chuckled.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsbJhZMqDgU
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAu1eUtOti7x
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANACNitTX7bs7
460Please respect copyright.PENANAttIWOydjvH
Beep! Beep! Beep!
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWDMXTX60fS
Raditz: “He's here…”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGApLBpKuIx
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVV2S3BwWUZ
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdc2JGnwzbg
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALKRClFjlAQ
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOA7HsRTK2N
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcq5ANc0m3O
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASzKy3jBgo2
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfe6TJdkGZC
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJgxIjmVGvI
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAf0qkWydW0M
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANANvHWoCaLhW
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKy9k8y0uNs
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAyKjBeZkGDi
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAY63AuMTnSB
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMJaQlH18Ev
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPotOYP73gS
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIexJMzk864
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvTo038mUPk
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGopFDiYUba
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAUfKeHpdPeT
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOGc8xAhS77
Raditz: “Damn it!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXJKZIVwxN0
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwkHDUvOBH2
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAl0zpHBx6TE
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6LClKUzGE
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9CNYYkBSFM
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlEJ86lEpQf
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVRakDHd9ht
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkR42iJZf21
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIOf2GWNYzn
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA07zsoT5LOA
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVtUnrX4Gb0
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgfwoAqPIt0
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXnynRzE1Pr
Beep! Beep! Beep!
460Please respect copyright.PENANAG7jN8lLZ3p
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjNZSNevHIh
Dodoria: “What is it?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvBt67MyWNI
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjylYA2BJF2
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0l3LEwY4j7
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMZeZunvFdH
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzrfjPr7L4e
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANANszvDrCU5i
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAhx5efT0g17
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZYdrj6M1X
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ3hggRV7S
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
460Please respect copyright.PENANADrxoI7XTv1
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdxrtkk5JgZ
Raditz: “Keep talking you tub of lard, you'll be eating those words soon! Hehe.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAD5QSZPqHS7
Dodoria: “Why you!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvvXAwEoCmw
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVLiCtkghh7
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA3RukfEttdf
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA3HA16aJGX8
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgrbI57jHqO
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
460Please respect copyright.PENANASNFjwhJwRr
Zarbon: “Die!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANApep5436cRM
Vegeta: “Both of you, stand back. Frieza is mine to kill.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVLZP2Oi7YU
Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAaSj55b5nYg
Vegeta: “Don't worry about me. I'm fairly confident I can take him now.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkeSrjMzKAK
Kakarot: “We're counting on you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2PHQBAerwx
Vegeta nodded before slowly making his way towards Frieza.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYBzbop74Qz
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANANvwZSHm5kV
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”

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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA554iJEovt6
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfdlRMYmCbj
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAI06EwTBDb5
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATalIvR6zIg
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7MR878TqsN
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA59qX19z7mZ
Vegeta: “Huh?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKLRjjDXjUQ
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAUFtbGB3zN3
Nappa: “I'm not sure! He's bluffing! There's no way he has another form!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQtfO41HqiG
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvQk3b7yoab
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5HL9eboO7j
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHOTMD4KfL4
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZTaC0Ob8l
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2LFt9vottT
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoVaXzcDsWU
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAm8zLpnC0vO
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGMnf6TsImp
Zarbon darted past Raditz, catching him from behind. He squeezed him tight, gradually crushing his bones.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAyNYJRmsJmg
Raditz: “Gyyaaaahh!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAd04wNnirTF
He yelled in pain, powerless to Zarbon's grip.
460Please respect copyright.PENANARYZQXGTEVl
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANANsKvYJKCGI
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbImCQJouuT
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAU3Jjbn9jOo
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOmvc5LaW9D
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGhh2lNCuyi
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKB9hHufv3S
Vegeta: “You don't understand, fool, there's nothing we can do anymore..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAB3pfRWmb6U
Kakarot: “Nonsense! We have to find a way!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAikV5RjspXk
Zarbon continued to torture the saiyan. His grip only tightened as Raditz grew more powerless to his might.
460Please respect copyright.PENANASbplp6CgLz
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVbdWm4bUS1
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
460Please respect copyright.PENANApqvDSmwYUM
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOu9WnUCf2h
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAu2PhUK3xdS
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARFiu7LA7h3
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0K6qfto3wm
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAepqUHG7VcN
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEV8lKYegOz
Without further hesitation, the others hit Frieza with an all out blast of their own, caught in between two powerful attacks, the mighty emperor suffered a devastating blow. The smoke cleared and Frieza collapsed to his knees.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAyN8kSdFdK1
Frieza: “Y-You-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxtinR22Try
Vegeta: “Haha! The mighty Frieza has fallen to his feet at the hands of the saiyan race!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAaazavECTwt
Nappa: “Poor bastard can barely even stand!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAT7VmJkJD10
Vegeta: “Give it up, Frieza!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5zyNzilDvp
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATlvQaKtr8u
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPkXqWFcV04
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIjG9pggQgH
Kakarot: “Not again!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAj2DLTJ6U9m
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIoMx2qTtNl
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlvgiBoHgxw
Frieza lifted his finger, destroying the artificial moon created by Raditz.
460Please respect copyright.PENANABRnWp3QG8e
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA8lvo6AI1Gi
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAENM0IFFCER
Kakarot: “Look out!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAtShF9ELKy3
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAp6fcZDyRQd
Raditz: “Nappa!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPYPCcdqVHv
Vegeta: “Nappa!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANADQhqRjoXuK
Nappa held on to what was left of his life, using his last ounces of strength to deliver his final words.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6ltxp4GHiN
Nappa: “D-Don't let this… go in vain, Vegeta… Destroy Frieza!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5kY5we7BAM
Vegeta: “Why would you do that?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANANsoMHUTDWa
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJrwFAO3iEY
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA09M9nx7vxg
Kakarot: “He gave his all simply for a better chance at securing our victory. The least we could do is give nothing but our all to the very end!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxBqermQPuj
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHbogPd7CUX
Kakarot: “On the contrary! We're more determined to kill you than ever!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgmBirGPwiH
Frieza: “I don't recognize this one, but he sure has quite the loud mouth on him.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9huMSceGaQ
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6n8Wwguz1P
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxWyZyLSWHq
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcuIOXj4hwa
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGW5bcxujXi
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdAu9IEHPqS
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKELk4vN5RC
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMC1jalXghz
Frieza kicked his jaw, knocking him into a building.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPxB5bCvvjm
Frieza: “Such an anticlimactic end it seems.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAk7ywPquDwb
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
460Please respect copyright.PENANApmlsc7F0HI
Frieza: “You again!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAB48pzAiQVW
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANANIoOmZ0bi0
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAhiKZhsqs6y
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAiSLbnQ3T3Y
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAreEuyWxOH7
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6R6cAIKoQX
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcPdoXON1FH
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYYweTe5IYp
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARre6Nt0ikK
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqbpuQb3oPk
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdBqJ4bMIOd
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVeY6L9oWYf
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsnzm2Fmyv1
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1VqazKKwmc
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAX0zZQhL217
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1TmRMkcCBq
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0xmC89s8iB
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqYVumh8Mro
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAh7U4qylzMY
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArzi2IzUPQS
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbRD3hUMWbR
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcgmLxVaR4b
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANApUnXfT2JAO
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmhBgjn1Erg
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA3jFobqYPkj
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnJSaScOwTH
Raditz: “D-Damn! We're losing the struggle!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1K0DvK9xFR
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9e7Nw0hPfM
Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2CaigvQfrG
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANABkDJXVy4Zf
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAuuIyIJ4fA0
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAo0qIcYC0R1
“Haaaaaa!!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1GgM666phk
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANApoEZVSV4Lc
Raditz: “We actually did it…”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALDzU4r5kDn
Vegeta: “Raditz! Look out!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAh6qw3Mmgcf
Raditz: “Huh?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAswiyPlSgrr
Before he could react, Raditz was struck by a mighty backhand from Kakarot.
460Please respect copyright.PENANARZDnuLYn7c
Kakarot: “Rrrraaaahhhh!!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANApmz0ZsJGsz
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXB5TEVIxb6
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJJK8laztaw
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAhv2wetduzD
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzaj7KrPzNZ
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMKcoG0OqL0
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKblrQqRCR1
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkyhVenj53p
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArDu2YhrXhq
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAL409XnyqOF
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlj0oRFBosO
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
460Please respect copyright.PENANABvSGpiYH8L
Kakarot: “B-Brother… I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALIF8KwrHkQ
Raditz: “Oh shut up… I'm fine.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAf6tlLz3m0H
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAtNMmB3AY2T
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAtB5fnHWLhX
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAC9rX3vTmzX
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkiWwcwfyLz
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAUxOcuUrwf8
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOLbsi4R1D6
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZPhrloP5DE
Kakarot: “It's done…”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGLEfrrudwR
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKLMjQMOa59
Vegeta ascended into the air.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwpuDlEoR1h
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYdxE0CwjdE
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANASSg9WYDPXH
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAisIdSHxXj7
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAI1jAxO7hSk
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAaS0uTvyBHo
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASDh17n6m4z
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFDi4dfbQJ2
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOSnRf378rv
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAevyg78KURk
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHDN11enp59
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAadCLtOfM0z
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAR9MtKjStTE
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAyWhb3fLcaj
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvjngyudqyt
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwokz67Nxlc
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANADctGUt2vQq
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWg3HuielAL
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjy4PMMIIgL
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZAGZBLu3j
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANApGtG5IeAzX
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwNMu83EYI0
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlMnFpR6yuz
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANADLv9XRtO9W
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPMiz86YoKo
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANABLZ9Ld4mJ0
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEIyuFNHBbW
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5XYPPIFAUy
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQkYW3OimzX
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqugcTxfI0N
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATA55HkIqsd
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA8yOqojPYCK
460Please respect copyright.PENANA21XTAcvUaK
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAb0NI2ZZ4uW
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZrTnytdFiR
He looked at his fist in shame.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAB3L9zb89dE
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANACkDxIsMOqZ
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwdq17H5bqE
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHCm8axoNXr
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2P7LMZjsvm
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7LUffPZUCD
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcXjjVIXybl
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQO35esnTl6
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAujeNK9pYM8
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbwPEluE7Cw
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdilvRT4QLR
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAb4xkwOHFJs
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAN3CM9oVrDJ
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlEzm2jg249
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFvHx6wizbq
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..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATVnWb5xN35
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwbY5vSAAv6
Kakarot: “No…”
460Please respect copyright.PENANADr91VoOL8U
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlwUEo0jvL4
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFyAkvqYt0c
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAptWkhXiHmw
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
460Please respect copyright.PENANABh8btEJKL9
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARkfpRQXQen
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqZr6XesBS0
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAaJS0imz2xP
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdYETSN6LTr
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFTV6FzHUYG
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAUudSb3tl8a
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOorVOY9eTQ
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAeyEY9O6Spb
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQkyPMVbNY6
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANABtRy2yksuo
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAn6HngDVQMM
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASL1merBE78
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGY2vDLp27c
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHa0DTw4vKN
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjG3xn36fdq
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAz4V1QsMLRk
Raditz bowed down in respect.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnKxSvFVnDw
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAchmPMljDsB
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXXVzuNkLzb
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWDDfrAWhJh
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmZKFfnMMTc
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
460Please respect copyright.PENANANnh8ECTLMi
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAic8o1OS3Dx
Raditz: “Right!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA41KuiQFnXG
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATSqSJJlNE4
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMxeMlDO0nL
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMrqwhClZOw
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJ86GEuUmjt
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASUHK0Y9r4c
Tears ran down his face.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHqzsfQ5EFn
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?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAa0ZcUDlse9
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAyJZQCy4pJR
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEFfBx06j3p
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVYiFQEDYvk
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANABQmcxMqYJz
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5AmLcgoxId
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7FZDDbmnLG
Raditz smirked.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7BKscdi87F
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA14YrWltBCN
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfCLWYkccRq
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkkIEdZ319p
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdmO5TklXs3
He pounded the ground.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAj2amHMlxBc
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzOcAZZ9cS9
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9F3lw9Cuf8
Kakarot: “To fight!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALo9hhj1sp9
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAA1fEQIFPno
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
460Please respect copyright.PENANADHdcU9gP6I
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0A3brafGEZ
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHaGvt7mm3K
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6MUSDwSfu9
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAg7iJfM8Vq8
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATU01hWdss5
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwfWcIssbCA
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdPjbDuWuhJ
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAATAfgRm821
Vegeta: “Wait!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnhVGWXSJ5J
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcPrH39N58b
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAk9W7eHMK69
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAq2efCXEddu
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATomkJpA1uC
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAq0azj9eF1R
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6LpMaUEvmu
Shenron: “As you wish."
