Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAanWs6Z4b3d
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGziVjnflqm
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAf7Q1mBFRHE
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAv6Z1wta62V
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4fNa6yyaQj
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAb5jErSzJMj
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHAsT1QTtV3
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqrAxG4m1S3
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZoNuUZKCw
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlMB6I4Rczg
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhAFJLbMA01
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2hifKXt1oZ
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAiR1z3Vt9aD
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjXoV746H0q
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANADkyZeI4lJ0
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWyuWkIi6AR
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKYgyS4r5vm
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXKxxA20e79
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmxFFHRixXD
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbW1YjYUDAs
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtrG3K0OyCk
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANArKtrSB9OyU
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3YJ8p5idrl
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4T6Y6vs7My
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAW0OTm3DS8M
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgdhw3EbOnV
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwQeSGZT61Q
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQfCCr3e2m2
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeQaLyZX5G9
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
168Please respect copyright.PENANATHa5QITM5u
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoEqHlw4v3g
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKZSADKgksF
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2NsB6SOnJ
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAl7ACQufDzm
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAAgnBiqobsv
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFrdFjY0Jsn
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAyxaf1Fo95x
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnBL7V1rC3y
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAX8frldWNNg
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfJkRGkmqMa
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvwFGwWTHRl
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAso0lnlvI7r
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAydUw0YtivD
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAf3ai9pVTGD
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuPnyxvnD4o
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAaubiE9I3mg
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4OARXb1zJc
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZpdroXzdHs
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYkAn0zDmyh
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA08i4YxmSFa
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcJuWozkx9z
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUDk4dW1nLu
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmJaHug9njj
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3yaR4yjGo
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHginPK09iD
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6cNpH44h89
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzfjXCb9ejR
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeUEnTaKXm7
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAURYfKwKaKL
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
168Please respect copyright.PENANARu8ZHCrb3g
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZAqlhFBxf8
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3lh8BXiFDz
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlYSbaQkjLq
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgt6aJJca4T
Beet: “Haaa!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvFLRAqWrAs
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANATpEFDpHROq
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANACC7wIeSDlc
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA06hrauEsD2
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzKq0ZRcCi1
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmuXNCdn4GL
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4gXU4m68Di
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-”
168Please respect copyright.PENANANAyV1w4oAD
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAw46evoYLNv
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAviSDfcsk59
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGwJG0dfrH5
Kakarot: “Enough”!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAueDw96IivZ
Beet: “Huh?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAT8VPRJFndf
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1sGg8LLbo5
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIXwZir7oGb
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKON8LgL3Tt
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtGciZSb424
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAexpNIf4nIX
Beet: “Right!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANABifoEScoPb
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1QEjxTNgbZ
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYPUcisDDmd
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAG3Yo3xssBq
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6N9dk3u71
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPgvfudPH0f
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbQRYs4ouOz
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAa6kqaguTZ9
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkOru8HUcnq
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAY1ZNGBEaP5
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANANnHZ2KR91b
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAu0ZXnOnru1
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKtQWWLVGYI
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcXDQuA0g9f
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANADbzieW4fcF
Bulma: “I love you.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAaCPvtTVFHM
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUjCAwrVKy4
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAe6YTrvzrX1
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqVEv5ZEeKp
“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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIeJAxhH3R8
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5LFz1dNlXi
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuU40NB5lBF
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhmPc64LNvy
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAk7k9u5fKKN
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwJ7d6KhjMI
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqgtPLN6fvT
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4gEbL133hD
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXWTom1nEkF
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAanS3lzT7tI
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANApjSQ0raN8q
Beep! Beep! Beep!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdxltuqL1YR
“It works just how the rumors said they would. With this technology, tracking frieza's movements will be a breeze.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAalM0M9ZHVi
“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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdaKvOBglUi
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAL9P2aqqPs7
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1CcKX3D48V
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6Azn0t0PAo
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
168Please respect copyright.PENANALOkksbRlAD
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYdqMzvS2K0
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2kK5b2JQKM
Bulma chuckled.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsvoB5uoryf
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANADxjDHkOtzz
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPrv8xaghwq
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1XGG43b1dr
Beet: “Momm!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAys3oeZYbnH
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9Zm2O9c6I9
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7cKXMTFV3K
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANABzDSVS4VOG
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvmmfOCAyTx
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMCtroukceY
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIPKBnovVov
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6UjH0s9tge
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5u829OA6Ga
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXhTMiOQuCN
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGWdDLRMyr8
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAItnDO8CyvI
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoz5sThXyNn
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPkt2wlRJfD
Kakarot: “Enough!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlnmVMco4Oa
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlEdJHNABpl
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJM3lk908yN
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPQMC1IwYe2
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJI1Qai58hT
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA39WeEIvR2o
Beet: “Sir!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYmRnlgQKFS
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsvVcRmfqG2
Bulma: “Beet!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtFvWPT92u3
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjlaZAdLFsk
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAk5VhSoqQQL
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeEZ622OWb5
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0HJVycnYY3
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4Wbb5wBksq
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXEVp0EgVgU
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANASmdEri8223
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQ890yFUdG0
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7uk122uB9T
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqHe3bzPwZg
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANABeMKZV0lv4
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9zdDEHLoTs
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAecA186llFE
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANACea5InuZkh
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAr2sllQ5359
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAB4fsG1j9Z3
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMA4KFjcA7F
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAC9FM4rMHW3
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAu3aEIQ3Smo
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
168Please respect copyright.PENANALG8W1wzp9H
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJvwdTCIqh6
Raditz: “You have my word.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4WProTFTPe
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAK9G0HqsLys
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAszt1itZDrI
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA71YjtI1UMX
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0jCfUNWidL
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANABzYUqdw2K5
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAyHGaHn08ie
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbv0u5uWbCr
Raditz chuckled.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA83Yq1dAQc0
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANASw91dTUyvJ
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANADUJceZj00y
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA49GuxwPg9p
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAv1jC6ElB2X
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAn3fe0ezWfS
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6N14g8Fmp5
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANApgDBErWSF6
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4cYHdgHpUR
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUx9tPcuRuD
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6wGlABxTr2
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJzWVbPpEKp
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAADhbDN5Ryj
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqpozaswIUl
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbVFnNkEwLk
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAI2NdTkKhzY
Raditz took a deep breath.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhBlD5zMnk3
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANABFjwqtU1pm
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcD20HrtxfN
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMiYVWwDGro
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPwcpKK047y
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAz7UCngXSiA
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoNdkHZszWH
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAr9RB81ZdfX
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIzxQB2Uwcx
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA84qqcEjExz
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAV9Ns7N8lwc
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfaZG6dHaIK
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkSGZp8cvc4
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUSzIPcX2G7
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAp3gT90kGjm
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3pl0LrqLWZ
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqmvw02RyQp
Kakarot: “The prince?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbP21ZW7yze
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUzKnbt2I6R
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ75KFQHVK
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxMeVmNHgUu
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANALVOGbzBp8u
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAy24n1kL2lj
Kakarot: “….”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsfWl9Z7PpH
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnxi1jXaXvF
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQCiXqPtC6C
Bulma hesitated to reply.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAulYTrgoFYq
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5qxE3Dd28G
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMEViP9ktIK
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPSB67sGGqY
Beet: “Sir!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwxex0VFEcc
He came face to face with his father.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXmb4Pg3bIf
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7rGlb1kbW2
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOFAx1QdZma
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYQQj2TtZEb
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOJstqe1ZuK
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
168Please respect copyright.PENANASK6ErkrfxD
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANACTQo6hajGr
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAn9Q2Sa9PQ0
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgHC3FgWLdS
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJCLyp6qksS
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqo6nQ7IQpQ
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAD3QKH1fxsG
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhByZ4FcT3L
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtZdUsis5kQ
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.’
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdhPchGCjzI
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkf2iMjKM0b
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANADDJxysp7vp
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA739NWMfwNZ
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjpFIPYqwE7
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAi07ut1UsxA
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAru3QXqOV96
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8ln7oDoAlF
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANADzIwfvwtpo
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAesNDDNZPee
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAc82mekAZ5h
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWmYC4nNUOE
The prince hesitated.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtH92u1ZspO
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA70fOWU5AC6
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAql0Dj7pjl2
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5LH2TfBjB0
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHd4TAYtd2R
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAL8g4I0Lj9b
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOKxgBxox3l
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9me5sGKEDy
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZNcrm2a1Gv
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlQgNSutKdB
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmf38B1IIVr
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2xjADgLOt0
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAiQfNVl5Uva
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7nxa7KFZrS
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfns8D7UVM4
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAD8HbBz1Eqp
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIgBo5X2aYl
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEEjpkB5GHL
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAycMIeNGFOW
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxYJx1J8BoE
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwgB1TkImpL
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANARezJch7dSl
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAybgJ1ptroO
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmV6MbfovZD
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAViQtqknivc
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAskFuYzDmh3
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAep2kgt7Qyz
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAexBjOR1wE4
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOvyvHnkptM
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkp0b11BnEL
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAclHyxBGytO
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwJUt6K0HPl
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtL3Denrmag
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXjfPAI7YGj
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAaKclK5iT4F
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhBKEOsR4sv
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOcjAUReljo
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcoiwHRAgPr
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEPJY3H2YWY
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPM26et6lJE
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAE6MgggmTUp
168Please respect copyright.PENANAikdjIMZuqs
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWXR3UDPM9i
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANASy4S7AE50y
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAR8eVOyKQiY
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVuWab242I3
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANANVIxmck3sj
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAaPvCmayqni
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANANeR5c1VQEA
Kakarot: “What was that?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANArrhu0WDzB7
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxamUIUp08j
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8S7hbPKomC
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAszQJH1dA5q
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANArH6LzbT4wZ
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvAuwMLtsFb
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbyqe8poy7q
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5xBgFGnZDi
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQbaBkOkfPA
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYkyDDvehIj
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA06kPHs0DpJ
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgr0b65uwJa
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPLgIEIU26t
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANArrhGCQjoOg
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnUnUFg0rH4
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANArIs1pRDHuo
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfuARicUnjg
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAz5GUC3N9hQ
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsGDWHxPbAa
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcEkRidcnti
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKwOcBku8ZN
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAd6eVEmvULY
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANApca6syC0qz
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqMKxFPTeH0
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFxWdp1qzJ8
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAq983ISfMCF
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtFy715Is3O
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGNh68YA5kr
“Your foot is on my tail!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVexyKDmhDb
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHRTYYSBGCs
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.

Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxQIT9iikCr
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsKiKqAvOGk
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAScS7cSKLYL
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAj4ZUARsv31
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdOO8MRztFJ
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANADivcCMUYeN
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAt5wAaTBj0i
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQUNjfi76Ss
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsM6vx0eoWJ
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnkFemLeq2a
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAy8fOjxzgqQ
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAL7ZiE9o6WX
Kakarot smiled.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqjEBbwC18C
Kakarot: “Understood!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbRuA4ovHKT
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAAHhv8Erj15
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzzsz2InE73
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPncZwneGK9
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIHrLyweHVg
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4iYR2PvHr6
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKDg92pCyTW
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbA00wTd18w
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAttOyv3qtRu
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQr7nUEbNdH
Vegeta chuckled.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxU0T13eSvj
Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXE3DZQbIpr
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWQEWkWdvJB
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAE6Eh90Fa5X
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZTVzICXCJ7
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAyA8z2YNSIS
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWn4XDL2ybQ
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZoutKMPxpX
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAI0sgb7vI89
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkjhraAnhgL
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsEI4Fs70iw
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAt58V2pE66s
Raditz: “What the hell? His power level is growing!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzH4ZCMMO2I
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGBRiumRZd0
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAImlvIOcNQP
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAv7xxMU7Xrd
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHKyaCmQWst
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA98si5uttqc
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5pDZ0PeBeu
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwEJsNyny1x
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPAMZWzeP5b
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2HgQJfgsgI
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5a7rWfzwc
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAevEw1id45s
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUcOhdV9kLG
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFWXsstzqR9
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXv1XejTcee
He took a peek at his injuries.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA18eQzrbon3
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9CvFtojKM4
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtmR7mn1pGQ
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA38oWABfPDW
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAchQYwz63D4
Vegeta: “I think you've made us all proud today, boy.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwpUxJRpB4D
Kakarot accepted his superior's compliment with a smile.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAil7kpetWwm
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAM7IeD60uFE
Raditz: “Kakarot! Look out!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoTE13haMCZ
Kakarot: “Huh?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwdIF1y8W3B
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANADaD6LBpkYa
Raditz: “Why you!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWjlbnjhW0C
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANABV09OlWMj0
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANALBFz9a8cyf
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeFbpBkb4sG
Kakarot: “What… What h-happened?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMYqXDVf3Wm
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoPoUacbq3T
Raditz: ‘Right!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAF3OANmU1pJ
Raditz carefully lifted his brother and took him aboard.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAw8ZRJy4kIw
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAG0YhlWeq4N
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzBFyL3Ss3n
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0ijDfmTka9
“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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtoGhmIwFFO
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwYN0t5YJWZ
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAi4NxVxZLPL
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgtExUNrtGQ
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlxvr0RYaEj
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYoSujdNcYE
Doctor: “I will sir.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUIPpPwormQ
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAszlz4gyMe3
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3SWvQN1fFR
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA98j38GjB86
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3qQ0JwPSsW
Kakarot: “I see. I don't feel anything though.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJXnkyCnW50
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANApURljkaRRN
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANASHpE8Gt4HR
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkoKxqsLqME
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlzcFv5wT12
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJWHbhlScJE
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANASDnYVh5fuO
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAovVEXgAraI
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQa3WrbhfQS
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3leqFOEwbc
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdZWhRNGvTW
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANADVVKlwsch3
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtPEr3zzStV
Raditz: “Yeah, you sure do.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAD80sgEHIvS
The brothers shared a laugh together.
168Please respect copyright.PENANArAtLwVd5sK
Beet: “Sir!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFXshgmpkQj
The boy eagerly rushed to his father and greeted him with a firm handshake. Kakarot smiled and patted his head.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAywkx9dYi44
Bulma: “You came back sooner than I expected.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAALtGJwcH8m
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuF8ZmJD1jB
Bulma: “Wait, what? You brought them here? Are you crazy?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7wdHNm7DNl
Kakarot: “They're great people, I promise! I trust them with my life.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANACv217JcKlL
Bulma: “This isn't just about you anymore! I want to be able to trust them with mine and Beet's lives too!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAa95mnHH3E0
Bulma looked over at her son and gently patted his shoulder.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5yWB7F1dlJ
Bulma: “Go play outside okay? Let me and your father talk.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqjIVqnfOgO
Beet: “Yes mom!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjOW9759gvz
The little boy made his way out, trying not to acknowledge the tension in the room.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAT5GMCKDSMv
Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANANbe5HH4yTJ
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjxE2X7HVDm
Kakarot: “When we win.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxYa1u8Ht2P
Bulma: “And what considers us the winners? What happens when survivors of their conquests come looking for revenge?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3UCa3BCTzX
Kakarot: “I’ll stop them.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9fzCNLJZsI
Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7NdmWf0jMe
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2DEVKFzBLb
Bulma: “It is when that desire puts us all at risk!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGifQRkO76D
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAh3GbFQLTHL
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0dFoPYR9Q5
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7OVPX92mJu
Kakarot: “Beet!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWTz3cT1n70
Beet: “Yes, sir?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxVYBaQKIiD
Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlWSGz57B9U
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxgitlW8jWt
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmnYsHgtkYy
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgnQtvQ2flS
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmCfg9XTxoH
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAC58zxrJbMX
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIGyG7vUpuE
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAorTG4joYY2
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWzlmJzJy9v
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzLZWEzpXrB
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAG24M5kt9iF
Beet: “I'm Beet! I've heard a lot about you guys, you're all so awesome in person!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtaygErkwyw
Nappa: “I like this little one!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFR3FANMMfX
Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANACyJ4x0bo1i
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwqCf49f0XE
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0vbWDF4M68
Vegeta looked down at the cheerful boy.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtsxSYbB1La
Vegeta: “Raditz, I'll give you the honor to test the boy's strength yourself.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhm592lmPij

168Please respect copyright.PENANAr3rKcumQ0z
Vegeta: “I don't care, do it again.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAiIjLMZWcAQ
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
168Please respect copyright.PENANASRY1FffAPI
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGdz8Ijsdmm
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuWtN2rKivT
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYONOljkJuy

168Please respect copyright.PENANAtdRt6Gt8FG
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsCaLPCt3UU

168Please respect copyright.PENANAU4xcfv1jTi
Raditz: “I will..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ4FvjPgvB
Raditz turned to his comrades.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEbTCgfEmGz
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbLK6rNskLp
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAe3LS3yRdBL
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAz5CCBERV6v
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKeQEfOXadS
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANApaK54dncx7
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAje307ahTCx
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANASUnJkJva2o
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAr3lNnsKme9
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7kFMj39wVv
Beet: “Okay!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOL4U1Jn1CA
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQwHGKSADM7
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhyBSh2RgE6
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQezJg5jpCw
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
168Please respect copyright.PENANASalSt636SL
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”

The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPSdI0OPdrG
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEvddbED6wX
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA51tc8aivdO
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAb36SXM5sAj
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVEiySLCWwB
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIbgwTnZceH
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANATg9QXH6i43
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFHfaTVEyja
Beet: “O-Okay.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8TNrLDGB3k
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeTVtPX65zm
Kakarot: “What happened?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbcZoUVT10S
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANACiOtqKdV7a
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAe0BizH2ACC
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4sXwPfFUTo
Kakarot: “Fine.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbhX6S3U9dV
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5s5rYidCkU
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbsizmD4jpr
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6hwYF0k3J1
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6laVnxvhcM
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzUmevYhC3B
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAE64SipD3DM
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAy4k8I4wCzf
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgEP3etZPEe
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbDvCnmlAgI
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgdLbA7IIi6
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoCUwk4VJIE
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjw4owmqc6D
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA41msIWWOw0
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANALYIwv7SgIe
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZPFffINUXi
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ze4P5pumu
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1A0cvt51a7
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAODQJNgZIFd
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvVyXroBUbI
Raditz: “Understood.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8zRrF80b9P
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeZmDX0ot5o
Raditz departed from the room.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAphZ7FTsnnK
“Haaaa”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzKC6J6vn8F
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEXgM9y81l7
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMZYGEHt2Fc
Kakarot: “Right.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwN1Rvbk7mp
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAM3Tk4ab6O0
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeWs93lHUeU
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZdL7HWegfB
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQaBbinE3Gz
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAs8YZ59Z2qB
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXA6hj6kx0Y
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOWes1DnHFe
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAI9rJaa56g8
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAe6xnstn9lY
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANACsQVr2F9E4
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3pCQCu16Lm
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOc6ozYtthu
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
168Please respect copyright.PENANASFM4YSOjla
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAydbN8fUPtH
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdfHnJW9aOm
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVrERO1v0vZ
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJDfDe07pmY
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZtCDyPzK03
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5CNdr8Rxey
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeQlfaNmImR
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAT0LsXzCC7g
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAR8ERkBMN32
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHwD9sryeIA
Kakarot turned around.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFUNa5feIqe
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPpR88auqCv
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmYSQb9PUqB
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwsmYpHSXAC
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAr98YQ7k2VC
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2FtfTP4HmN
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvkFJ23D0wr
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAy87DWakC3V
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbwLjFJTq86
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANApsCF0Kjbnu
168Please respect copyright.PENANACQXgePNrIA
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgzyTwms11X
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAatDwVw7cw4
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmy200EplIt
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8AwU32FGcI
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7FJMgLBxWQ
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1tBG8Ii92C
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxiZlqhbt5I
Kakarot: “Right!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANARIktF9vyF9
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhrymvQoxlV
Kakarot: “Yes?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsUgGYZKEwA
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAv2XerCVNTL
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtsa7TQnRho
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHKAAQnOPZu
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXxngj8uGQx
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
168Please respect copyright.PENANACd1M1cG4sS
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeur7ZigOjP
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsAQbSZsfQe
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEjcERhjzKw
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFAjnKzBDJx
Raditz turned to his brother.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFto6e7eo3L
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjOXMHCDAlH
Raditz: “Right..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANATA9MGUwwCa
Raditz took off with his pod.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeRWIsFYp7L
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtwCNfCcEHe
“Let me take a look.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANADVumRj3SOd
Beep! Beep! Beep!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAAMFrqkVvzb
“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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHYnOa3b2cv
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsGE2OvGXeE
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbHySOVOna8
He bowed in respect.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6qldpCy8Fj
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHBrZf7svQz
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAm9pZZKMIk9
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoKO3thaf6A
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUYr19DMriK
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfiSje5Jf4f
Raditz: “As you wish.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAy15dHAbdUI
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmOLxp1gCAH
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqZSsm51l8z
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAplJrqfpOu5
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKujznHD198
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANATFhktCIMcZ
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQYB30Ns4O6
Zarbon took his leave.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAyKJFggE9WL
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANARrmFJbmcGe
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAut89BqfAhe
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXnzZRNrzGW
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsdVEPsVibb
Raditz chuckled.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAksT7QAwO9g
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEynTmqb3MM
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANATjTE4EiG0J
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXsOllqNaK5
Beep! Beep! Beep!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAro7Afmc9Kz
Raditz: “He's here…”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcuhejFqxDg
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANATMVDDDWYIV
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOGvmJUxe8o
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANARnj9ZoE14C
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA88mczrz2IB
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAn0xTqbWLIe
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAv90sQlug8f
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
168Please respect copyright.PENANATpg9CJ5G51
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA48hDtKY7ay
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANACDKtdf5onL
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcxwidhCypo
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANANxfFE5BZHH
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFKsb6Mo9Zv
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAf5ZY2hj44R
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMeo8HUwQQd
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUVOaJ3Tvoc
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0LoBn9OdhV
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAw9GS67HUQO
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYZugFAdvl1
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQXnjl7sF9X
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1D8ptkBZfZ
Raditz: “Damn it!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8lAVQOCDj
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAk9LXn66AKY
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYPIpl7JphE
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAj6JejqbHxv
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAt3eiCpK4Ls
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFcJP4UlrNu
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAs1xVTZ6JXA
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFnZZ5TDRie
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHFCTe8tSBw
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJEtBO7jNen
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2os3Tt0b4O
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA51ZlsnO9Sa
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAin1m5oesYH
Beep! Beep! Beep!
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPPTB45ErIS
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2C3qWH2szI
Dodoria: “What is it?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAx4Qafreiqx
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAB91xXHZZtM
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAY3cIMyFUsU
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEGMYXhU8Sj
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAssfJBTcX2J
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANANdPhEBMVJE
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQydzKOp1Wx
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANABq7PPo9mrb
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbb0kwHB7us
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAE6zKm9UqxN
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8YJFvBME8B
Raditz: “Keep talking you tub of lard, you'll be eating those words soon! Hehe.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZc8rPvrL48
Dodoria: “Why you!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtGVNhnhutB
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkNY3Mbhwuo
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwsv7XlJ3uL
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcn0D3Mqm5C
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAenT4fqnRwG
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
168Please respect copyright.PENANArQEXXtDv23
Zarbon: “Die!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcnJdIVy6XC
Vegeta: “Both of you, stand back. Frieza is mine to kill.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAt5FhIlQDr1
Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Kk553pRF
Vegeta: “Don't worry about me. I'm fairly confident I can take him now.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1dzmplzqVe
Kakarot: “We're counting on you.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAemqemFKCCn
Vegeta nodded before slowly making his way towards Frieza.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAC9n4oMYM00
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANATLADrcsmKi
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdAMINhlvWp
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxEIN386ARx
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAiK8OWcWoaP
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkZckKcPoS7
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANANMMRyM8Zv7
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANASotIQeDFiH
Vegeta: “Huh?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAG073erHt6t
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXKmzlHhllg
Nappa: “I'm not sure! He's bluffing! There's no way he has another form!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAU1ufuk3BXk
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeYZlOFzHyD
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeXBoyItk3l
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAj5L76MgdfN
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAz7XGUOCkX1
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIZF3KyMbqL
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2W9Hlg88oX
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA77vOVKIFn1
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVcGHlR2Xjx
Zarbon darted past Raditz, catching him from behind. He squeezed him tight, gradually crushing his bones.
168Please respect copyright.PENANACqANMUwfX6
Raditz: “Gyyaaaahh!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkaf7zTY4Ln
He yelled in pain, powerless to Zarbon's grip.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5F9ss5ow90
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxNWZhOjxUE
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdN5pwwpj5j
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANATmztDw4RJM
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcFOD2c9r1O
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAukV01C2ap5
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAalcywNN8DX
Vegeta: “You don't understand, fool, there's nothing we can do anymore..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxHXpz5nkux
Kakarot: “Nonsense! We have to find a way!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0JquEHxIAf
Zarbon continued to torture the saiyan. His grip only tightened as Raditz grew more powerless to his might.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAO3lCtuAj9V
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7sgDJdXURV
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdcQWaaPwmO
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANApvzthOPatq
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANATtCI8eoHgQ
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhvY8sAqK8Y
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQvd3nXKUBx
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfcmZrnVCzt
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2SD7TfMEM
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANABxX2IwirUO
Frieza: “Y-You-”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAP5WxoicIXl
Vegeta: “Haha! The mighty Frieza has fallen to his feet at the hands of the saiyan race!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzcslt4rQzf
Nappa: “Poor bastard can barely even stand!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAiqkZnPtZwa
Vegeta: “Give it up, Frieza!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAL2jLmVCh4f
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6dpoNizKVi
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwt7sVNJEtH
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7cdw9kw2UT
Kakarot: “Not again!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeUkX5JDnQu
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAReRoyFuiA9
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFAtnbVIBmc
Frieza lifted his finger, destroying the artificial moon created by Raditz.
168Please respect copyright.PENANALJWk2OqiGB
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgmNyeViYGk
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2fiHRnyxSG
Kakarot: “Look out!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANATbGnAweSLw
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAloTWmn1UfB
Raditz: “Nappa!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8nype6D2u7
Vegeta: “Nappa!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJbZcvuwGvs
Nappa held on to what was left of his life, using his last ounces of strength to deliver his final words.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjHcg3xuCmp
Nappa: “D-Don't let this… go in vain, Vegeta… Destroy Frieza!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAShvXoegkPr
Vegeta: “Why would you do that?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2dVyExGul7
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdJve0HX3eU
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgvr7nTzFM9
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAe4p0K7Mzd7
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAs1sMDXLRwQ
Kakarot: “On the contrary! We're more determined to kill you than ever!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7b51Ax336v
Frieza: “I don't recognize this one, but he sure has quite the loud mouth on him.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANADHgLdo5xOt
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvonDhu599M
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANADwdyoYbCjk
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjTJ5oQxD6x
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQ40d3PK6Vz
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAc9faxYgsYU
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAK1HEcp80sk
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEePODjNOvi
Frieza kicked his jaw, knocking him into a building.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAi4z00wXch6
Frieza: “Such an anticlimactic end it seems.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9UN5PVpfmo
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhYfOa0HUOk
Frieza: “You again!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIaEzEehMXD
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANATnHPwSSkzA
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYIcHnHK1yo
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAaqHNiqnhJW
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUX93k5bgze
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzcI7EzKDkY
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAv4mYjNtaQA
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAB3r9cR6M3s
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlzBRoP08zi
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAf7DpQciQvz
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsUwzdfPKs0
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqb7plX0IpK
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANArMFnbosLwO
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAs9c0OfmI5l
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoy4Exasj2b
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9j8rq5IP5e
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3iXpJ34VdA
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgkLNBVuDBu
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANArB2d8M3kEu
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuEu0ShSMno
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANACdIQMP5vb0
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqWLxtJIjUm
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlaSozyH3gN
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUo6BAAVjF8
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUWbJjoNJLb
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAM6rdH4q2fk
Raditz: “D-Damn! We're losing the struggle!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFZz4Mj0Rfk
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzNNOOchczc
Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmOpCXvOtAr
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4mhHfZc9dJ
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAivFkAE99Cb
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANABTQkkZChZN
“Haaaaaa!!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJSFTW5jgMi
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUKGjuelxWa
Raditz: “We actually did it…”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQmiVBIEFLi
Vegeta: “Raditz! Look out!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdm3mDRKoCb
Raditz: “Huh?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqaB1Y5GrGG
Before he could react, Raditz was struck by a mighty backhand from Kakarot.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAK0qD90031r
Kakarot: “Rrrraaaahhhh!!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0CO7HL2NQ
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJLthyP2E7b
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIi2C81JyRx
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnCW0l9r89B
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzxapcNgWiH
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANALIWpZWLKNe
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvrLXxg5pmj
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
168Please respect copyright.PENANArDcDChpEqz
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAObPJGET1T5
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdHdtBSvf8k
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkjscjolI5U
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYK58md3zFw
Kakarot: “B-Brother… I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8yGkxIqUbR
Raditz: “Oh shut up… I'm fine.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5ST2yFQ836
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZed3mogghO
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXZENwWcNNd
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANACwnqkD5MH9
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKdVNyvHVRs
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuIMkY86kU0
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIbQlCicV26
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAV382qykGEX
Kakarot: “It's done…”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAF68tmtA1YN
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUXE25Z086J
Vegeta ascended into the air.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAt5csxc3rGp
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHxjFDxtRXH
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzD7Khsz1QF
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAW1q9NAr9LO
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsNs6IIhx3m
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFtot9gg0vr
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqpItrDL99Y
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxjQ7j5yaXx
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAd64i6OA0Pk
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAn4b3x4WWCa
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuAQVw6ClXF
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANADRRiDR6uS2
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkicf6l60Mn
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAP5qRPw8Py6
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAya0THq6yJB
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqTWq9TNC2z
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8y2MFNeBrC
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAW5wl41WZl4
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0pB4wUinoO
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbL7qZlD238
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMOhk6hNdJx
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9cR3uPwYaK
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcp6XAIOdxC
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvMBde5TIJM
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANApTBcjX59W7
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”

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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANADvpq7hTEef
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0OyTO4FmaK
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAb7N55pc8N7
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnMoRJqHi02
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFMVNXdkG0r
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwKTZLcTf6g
168Please respect copyright.PENANAD8is5C0W9x
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZav6L0Mq0R
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGmLERla3MV
He looked at his fist in shame.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmGfJqEB33b
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.”

168Please respect copyright.PENANAYhgoRDLvpH
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
168Please respect copyright.PENANASvm4cXfj3A
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAX410q94rY0
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANABuFayTmfnJ
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhOsIOTobGO
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANASSAQN6yst8
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGneIcUJEwB
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAiLVnYmGcBx
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ22kdsX6L
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA16N35vG3HA
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVBrLMwU2h6
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYtrQGinK6O
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYAUTghdqlT
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..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbEkeVXHv4f
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANABLAk81aY7T
Kakarot: “No…”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWUh7GRbqKW
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAj0Ahvgh15d
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFI0FoVV88n
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlow40lefRM
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9l6E3Y3UH1
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAAbDdZFDb5e
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANARlHga6AI3r
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGk1zwAaqjZ
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqCnBtGbF7V
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAh7ZR7yrmK3
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGctYOQ0YrV
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANABVAdpg7gvz
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsRAz8u2cvM
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYxaaRbVIK3
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzu9rUdR390
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUnrTrKG7EJ
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAED5zcFvEV7
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ73m3mfho
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8uQRf0IXRF
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4L66jkXHnA
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAf6GNFNnp4h
Raditz bowed down in respect.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXR1inz4XuX
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
168Please respect copyright.PENANABiPTpQQrSU
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8MA16tLrxF
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4odlBqqFzR
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxRLLsgsmez
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4wgpS4m8ph
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMcpu0i7QqJ
Raditz: “Right!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAukoThSxEQN
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgABVwrcwxJ
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANATZaLFrQGcj
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgFUscUIMOU
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzP6khz82T9
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANADZihx16XLg
Tears ran down his face.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQGXAG66eFy
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?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANApruipYlOHi
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAawcz0LruS6
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAotO92VcnhH
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANACs0fVuLL7N
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAy225AYSilb
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkK38PJeol8
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA08FzMEm9ng
Raditz smirked.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhBGthXhn0T
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANANNBcBEPgJp
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhFGfVQTqlt
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAd4ZtiV7cV1
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7SszoWYsk9
He pounded the ground.
168Please respect copyright.PENANArYEY6Y9jRk
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZr3OREsAYp
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAS5XwgKtuPk
Kakarot: “To fight!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAq5EQfWkgzN
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhjs6NaeOCz
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtV1cnAZxOt
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAka8FGeZbXn
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6PWHHntMtP
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKXbnO3lCri
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9Zmu71UJfI
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhy5bbsVtzP
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5vKZiWNPsJ
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0pvroJzqz3
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.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUYvRwN92dr
Vegeta: “Wait!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnmH1TpQZCC
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEtkTmVNqHU
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2NUYhyBeog
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7xKkUUVs5K
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsgKB63z3Mj
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzRLtKJc3rj
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!”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOGxw6MqBxY
Shenron: “As you wish."
