Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgI2zejKzy
Bardock: “Working under you gave me the opportunity to be the warrior I craved to be, I can admit that, but I think I speak for every saiyan when I say we're tired of being under your watch. We were born to be free and fight for our pleasure! Not for your convenience! This ends now! Frieza!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW99PaB4un
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLJzgNjnym
Frieza: “No, no. He went through all the trouble of fighting off my soldiers and confronting me directly. I cannot explain why but I feel like I owe him this last duel. Perhaps then this monkey will realize his pathetic place in this universe when he draws his last breaths.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9PSqLS5XN
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoVyig0eu3
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8qXMkCdhA
The saiyan warrior launched a fist full of fury and pride. The mighty emperor redirected his punch with a palm strike to his arm. Bardock turned right back around and rushed Frieza with a combination of fierce and rapid punches and kicks. Frieza had no trouble evading and blocking each strike. A smirk was firmly printed on his face, showing the saiyan who was truly in control. Bardock jumped back and quickly shot a ki blast at the tyrant. Frieza stopped the blast with his bare hand. The explosion was a mere calculated distraction from the proud warrior. The smoke hid Bardock's location, giving him the chance to deliver a full power kick to Frieza's liver, followed by a punch, charged with ki, to his face. The blows sent Frieza back a few feet. His smirk was wiped from his face, shifting into an irritated frown.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoYgAUO5xg
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke8zSv8sFP
The emperor made his move, striking Bardock's rib with his pinky finger at a blinding speed. The saiyan spit blood and lost his balance. Frieza swung his tail, slamming it into his face, knocking more blood out. He struck him a few more times before piercing his leg with a small beam he shot from his finger. Blood gushed out from the wounded warrior's leg. He yelled in agony and held his injured area. The sadistic emperor went for another shot at the saiyan's shoulder this time.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZnKmjnk8t
Frieza: “It's a shame knowing you're the last one standing from your side of this war. The prince is under my control and the remaining saiyans are nothing to worry about. The saiyan race has fallen!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwJNjbUtpt
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAEl1PTRHc
Bardock: “I guess I was right to think ahead hehe. You're wrong! The saiyan race will never truly fall! You may have conquered all of our remaining warriors, but there's one more! Kakarot! Remember that name! Frieza!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6F1tC2GQg
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdTpzM5nI5
Bardock accepted his fate, but he refused to die in such an insulting manner and let out one final burst of energy from his palm. Frieza raised his finger, generating a massive ball of energy that resembled a sun.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMOM6bKngh
Frieza: “My original intentions were to wipe out all of you monkeys with this war so I could salvage this planet for my own, but perhaps it's best that I make sure no trace of your once thriving society remains.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ3uzODgKF
He lowered his finger, tossing the sphere at Bardock's direction. The attack completely disintegrated Bardock's final stand. With no power left to fight back, the last soldier of the saiyan resistance succumbed to his inevitable fate.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqOuYQdPDC
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmERYe9vGG
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6462DaGG2P
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld4nSgVqQ7
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcQT2vKLft
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eH3nn891K
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLX1C2FSKB
Commander Red: “How dare you pretend you have a moral high ground! You and I both know you loved every moment out there! You live for this…Kakarot!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7Cm1sRask
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qDSa6tueo
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhDLRKOe3q
The saiyan chopped the Commander in half with his bare hand. He crashed through the roof of the building they stood in and flew off.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaugTPYS4MX
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAh3ifNelb
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcchV1FbS4R
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcfuu1Xc4C
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y5KH7dQpp
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKKg5pvbh7
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcmma7ngQR
Kakarot: “My ear piece was damaged during battle. The martial artists from before stepped in but I finally settled the score with them. No one will ever hurt us again.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiv80xj1SV
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mlzo4AZqu
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAezUtj7StA
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcW6RIbrG2
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDwgOp4l3q
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h1Gu5KjH3
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmd4eJLbY7
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI0IW2yUD8
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8UIQcqwtP
Kakarot: “I have no interest in leading these people, they can do whatever they want as far as I care, just as long as we're left unbothered. We should start by thinking about our future.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiAanhMctU
For months, the war between Kakarot and the earth's alliance had dragged on, many fell victim to Kakarot's might before the combined forces of the government and even the red ribbon army had fallen, finally ending the conflict. The best martial artists on the planet had their own turmoil with the saiyan but they unfortunately faced the same fate as the rest of his opposition. Despite the terrors that took place, a period of tranquility was achieved at last. A peace that would last for a few years to come.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA3pfYiZ1s
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28wWHNE0DU
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYzJYsVQ3X
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDQUNda4tZ
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahbDbk1FLv
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sd5m0xSRl
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVqia9Kmdf
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2KtoVe0Zm
Kakarot: “I haven't even begun to comprehend what lies beyond our planet, what goes on outside our universe was never really of my concern.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ47i2CdGp
Bulma: “Well, I've studied quantum mechanics as much as I've studied engineering and there's theories suggesting the possibility of a multiverse. An infinite set of parallel worlds like our own but with minor or sometimes major differences.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9IEqQWx7h
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcouKvxSOuY
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD54OAV5wPR
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwycUs224Gh
Bulma: “That explains a lot. This isn't just any vehicle though, once I get it figured out, this baby will be able to take us across dimensions! Look, I know we will never be able to undo the damage we caused, I've accepted it was for the greater good, but with this, we could go to other worlds where we exist and prevent this disaster! We can work together and create harmony so they don't have to live with our guilt!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyrMs9cbbx
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyGyIzud4P
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVUED2tqeo
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZkp8sfa3q
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ37ppnjk6
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoNCnGDekQ
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8rO6uYvW4
Bulma: “You know how that boy is, he said he was going to pick some things up from the city, but I'm almost certain he's out in the woods again.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA6Ia7Hub3
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkRfK4Lzqm
Beet: “Haaa!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyomepVqNf
Beet kicked at the beast that stood before him, knocking one of its teeth out. The dinosaur remained determined and swung its massive tail at the child who just barely reacted in time to evade it. The dinosaur charged at him, chomping it's jaws at Beet. The boy struggled to escape every bite.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcsWRkz07c
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kCI40px13
Beet was whacked by the creature's tail, knocking him over. The dinosaur opened its jaw revealing its terrifying teeth. Beet closed his eyes shut and covered his face, preparing for the worst. The dinosaur bit down, but to his surprise, there was nothing there.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL5w6UWyZ4
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVytMgpMD7P
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJD6JQF3BG
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbkVZMKCxF
Kakarot: “You're focused on the wrong objective. You can strike its head as many times as you want and it still has the chance to get up again. But-”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Askb1cMAN
Kakarot snatched the dinosaur's tail and tore it off in the blink of an eye. A big smile took over his face, overcoming his usual serious demeanor. His smile quickly faded as he saw the blood that leaked from the tail.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrMD2H0DPY
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSjdBYAzK2
A memory of the bloodshed from the war that had taken place crossed through his mind. He took a deep breath for a moment. The dinosaur fled from the scene in fear. Beet darted after it. Kakarot snapped out of his trance.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI0JmqZH24
Kakarot: “Enough”!
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS5G4mdP7b
Beet: “Huh?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq6vQAFauH
Kakarot: “I already got us a boar for dinner, there's no need to kill an opponent that can't fight anymore. It's broken beyond repair, don't carry the burden of being the one who took its life.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM3gsxXZe8
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodkuIqbCZc
Kakarot: “Everything we do is for survival. If we need to eat then we'll kill, if we need to defend ourselves then we'll kill. But that thing had nothing left to fight with. There's no reason to finish it off.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmDtzed0AD
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITPBBNdYJ0
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p1Q1Pg6Nd
Beet: “Right!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpyzGxTOfQ
The family sat outside around a bonfire. The young Beet was tuckered out from his big day, he rested his head on his mother's lap, giving in to his fatigue. She caressed his soft hair and smiled. Kakarot kept his head low, pondering away at some troublesome thoughts. He caught a glimpse of Bulma staring and immediately looked away, hoping she wouldn't notice.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDohbhE1Mh
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgE8KTExb4
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE1WrHfWGM
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPqPJM6dyb
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10KrSLmSgy
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvQ6etYAir
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kJ8nfH57K
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKds85AqNM
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiivQ5w7Sex
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlfPAxEovs
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkerNRMXZa
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X1P54vzc6
Bulma: “Yeah, you weren't exactly a scholar per se, haha! Cramming in those study sessions must be just as new for you as it is for him.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVGGB2wHix
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWRaUmAn3g

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxWH63RlXU
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCTURjkSWj
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zO6FGE52U
“Only a fool would continue this struggle, if we surrender to their commands, at least our people will get to live another day. I'm sorry, Colonel, call off our men.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVW97UJ8qW
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEsT5CZdgb
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZMW3gcGAC
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP6pGxyY92
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQcNgjMfQ9
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ3TW8Eykb
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bz821ouQq
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjN0fRtHIM
King Tuffle: “I have withdrawn my forces as you requested. We'll form an alliance like you desired and lend a hand in your fight. As long as you keep your side of the deal and let us be after it's all done.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pFTf02lz5
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02pn8aBigK
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQo3m9fbDd
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VWllPOPto
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPUiFp8t6c
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mTFLfdKVD
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSfrMliiVx
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UEwgGJqEK
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93XIhYHEOS
Bulma chuckled.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFrDZJXQpK
Bulma: “Well, as long as we get this baby done, do as you please! You know, I'm surprised you went along with this after all.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIq6bdlzHe
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsiYtprkfc
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk14BI9BK56
Beet: “Momm!!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpwidwDQ7A
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeox3YJVgp
The busy mechanic rushed to her son's needs. Kakaort returned to his work but was almost immediately interrupted by a shout coming from outside.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGgb5XH8dE
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UxcxIsmgf
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsygHwGeaC
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06sDQsWSOh
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRKgBKmC7t
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5exXO9vaTv
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC4Yn8vz6H
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyg8upJAzr
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGIDk4gJcZ
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aDvL6QmRE
Kakarot: “You're playing a risky game coming here and demanding to see me all of a sudden. I don't care what you're here for, leave my planet or I'll make you!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopOTgSEqPx
Raditz: “So, the planet does belong to you after all. That's good to hear. This will be a perfect base to rebuild the saiyan empire hehe.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl3P02Qula
Kakarot: “Enough!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7KO6L446Z
Kakarot flung himself at the unsuspecting saiyan. Raditz noticed at the last second but still managed to evade the frustrated warrior's attacks with ease.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAnUEhRdE9
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp8RSYUgQM
Kakarot threw a fierce punch which Raditz evaded at blinding speed. His movement played tricks on the saiyan's eyes, leaving behind only an after image with the real Raditz having already got a hold of Kakarot's blind spot. He smacked him away with a mighty backhand.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CTSeLIUoc
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFROanHWlm
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclXHbFvgYv
Beet: “Sir!!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjIK2Z7mqR
Beet rushed to his father's aid, throwing a kick at his uncle. Raditz flicked the child away with a strike from his tail. Beet crashed to the floor, hanging onto his consciousness.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXZQIYHhfJ
Bulma: “Beet!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M2JheYA14
Raditz: “The boy will be fine, don't worry about him. That look on your face, Kakarot, it's almost as though you've never tasted absolute defeat like this hehe.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnOdEMowCA
Kakarot's breaths were heavy, his body was petrified from fear. The feeling was instantly overwhelmed by a sudden rush of adrenaline. Before he knew it, his body stood, almost on its own. He rushed his brother once more, his blows were suddenly sharper and swifter than before. Raditz found himself putting in effort to defend the assault. Raditz blocked a kick with his forearm only to have it be immediately followed up by an elbow to his face. With only seconds to react, he stopped the attack with his palm, just barely avoiding contact. His eye twitched in irritation.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcBPQ3x2yV
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIY6HYmW2s
He drove his knee straight into Kakarot's stomach, ending his sudden burst instantly. Kakarot collapsed to the ground, his body refused to answer his demands, seemingly paralyzed. He gasped for air, struggling to speak. Raditz raised his hand, reaching towards the defeated man. Bulma yelled at him to stop as Kakarot flinched, accepting his fate. There was a sudden pause from Raditz. Kakarot opened his eyes again, only to see his older brother reaching out to lend a hand. Surprised, Kakarot used his remaining strength to force his hand up and got a grip of Raditz's hand. Raditz helped him to his feet before letting him go.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMg6ivyctk
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hBgiiB1I4
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVtkrKW7ie
Raditz: “That's right, I'm your older brother, Kakarot. It may seem a little jarring, but you're from another planet, one that has long since ceased to be. You were presumably sent here to conquer this world, although I never understood why planet 4032-877 of all places.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGdi5SIwa1
Kakarot: “I always knew I was different. The people of this world made that clear to me, but I never imagined I'd be from a completely different world.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuswAg8aEe
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJRYlqXGg1
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlvwxkXQBv
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgBQkjSu22
Raditz: “Right, I should cut to the chase. My name is Raditz, sorry for not properly introducing myself earlier. I'm not here for some late family reunion, I'm here to recruit you, little brother.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9KVSniHzb
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS67iSnADX
Raditz: “Our Race has long since been reduced to mere numbers you can count with your fingers alone. It wasn't by no natural causes however, our kind were victims of a genocide from a tyrant known as Frieza. He enslaved our people and forced us to do his bidding for decades until we finally stood up to him and waged war against him and his forces. As fate may have had it, our forces soon fell, the rebellion failed and frieza believed it to be easier to simply wipe us out for good. There were some of us however who didn't partake in the war, we were off on duty, unaware of all that went down. For years, Frieza deceived the remaining saiyans into believing a meteor had struck down our planet. We recently found out it was all a lie invented by Frieza to keep the remaining of us loyal to him. What he doesn't know is that neither of us ever took pride in serving him! But this isn't just about fighting for our freedom anymore, this is for our proud race that he dared to look down upon! Join me, brother, let us retake our honor by slaying this bastard!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ0ebtb8N5
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkEmiGcRex
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vCnu9q8Iy
Kakarot: “He took everything from you, my life is here, on earth. Besides, I've fought a war all my life, I don't want to jump into another one after we just reached a peaceful era.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb6ThMjGpo
Raditz: “I see.. Well, then let me spend the night with you brother, just for us to connect a bit before I return to my comrades.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lNz1Bv3lz
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHbkvPzbUC
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByhXQmcUHR
Raditz: “You have my word.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH1kBDiPSh
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNGK0z4VgS
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU46vrGom4
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcv0ZcGEoV
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mTk89IAVF
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBndfE2g8kt
Raditz: “You worry too much, child, you're a saiyan like the both of us, a bit of a runt I'll say, but a saiyan nonetheless. You'll grow to be much stronger when you're older. Doesn't that excite you?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwGM0xbS4J
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZLZIbIuMC
Raditz chuckled.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8Cd9ApR1v
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l8mnnmEji
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBnkiSb4Bl
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAfrwra6Ob
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ4LIFVdKb
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T79WUG1DM
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGfouCmkSw
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJbTz1jH3U
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9YgzvoaHr
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswAXYHSjE6
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPwLiiqB3M
Bulma: “Honey, I think I'm gonna sleep early. Don't stay up too late, okay? I still don't really trust him, it's best we get the day over with soon.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrszPQAYKLs
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjTDMVuqvt
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPI4zar90C
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFrZLFVPHt
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VTIQCcfqU
Raditz took a deep breath.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6MCxsnps8
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ba1aeaJt2
Kakarot did not question his sibling and partook in his request. The two left the house and walked out into the night sky. Raditz levitated high into the air and Kakarot followed. Raditz came to a sudden halt. He faced the night sky, illuminated by the countless stars, miles away.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i1dz4C6kd
Raditz: “Take a look, brother, the universe is infinite. Why would you limit yourself to such a pointless, finite world like this one? Don't lie to yourself, this mundane life doesn't suit our kind. We're warriors! Born to fight!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenmvt14ene
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTcDcIH2sx
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4D089VWvG
Kakarot: “I've never faced much of a threat on this planet, I've never truly been pushed to my limit. Earlier, when you humiliated me in our battle, I felt something. A rush, one like no other. I was going to die and yet I felt more alive than ever. What was that?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkImMBAWbY
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5UYUhFba9
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSOB06naU5
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqTFgiZUUW
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD6fmkIs2B
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwVTmPY30F
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObjf5TeRj3
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjZDEvnaRN
Raditz: “Vaguely, I've heard about him before though. He was a powerful leader of an elite squad. Rumor has it, he was the one who led the rebellion against Frieza. Our father was a great man, Kakarot. Don't you want to take after his footsteps?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje7eW9Ld0x
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hAAP6yLnw
Raditz: “I leave tomorrow, I have an extra pod you can take so you can tag along. I can take you to meet the prince so you can join our alliance.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOiTyNn5vL
Kakarot: “The prince?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG4SVcPHGg
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcP3b2dc56
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcurPVKBYMt
Bulma: “I don't understand! We're finally at peace and now you want to run off into another fight that isn't even your own?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5exArwvLV1
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDsjX9xtOh
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQvcODSaDE
Kakarot: “….”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7kQpcPyoc
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqixUlwyHm
Kakarot: “For most of my life, I was neglected by the earthlings, I was different and there was no one to guide me through this unwavering sense of inferiority! They're like me, I want to meet them, I need to. Besides, I can't shake this feeling that this is my calling.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRntGGDeRPw
Bulma hesitated to reply.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjAY8kQJbL
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ0ubS5xQr
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv5s4FDTlQ
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaXp7yLTUT
Beet: “Sir!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC43Dpb0fDt
He came face to face with his father.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqRMBYWnV5
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8KAgqIF7c
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAUIOnbt8G
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRvsnJfCXV
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdmmQjWkm0
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG7qWOXzsl
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNHUtIO8Lx
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgFoPCxGGl
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtq9M3dEfm
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeRum1un41
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6NpGFO6Dw
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MV4VvQeI2
Raditz: “Well, aside from me, the other two saiyans are Nappa and the prince, Vegeta. Unlike us, they're top level elites with the prince being the absolute most powerful.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr1ZSWApt2
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SIizhIOIX
Raditz: “They are, especially the prince. He's the strongest saiyan in history! They're both proud warriors, like me of course. You're on your way to becoming one of us too.’
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWKA9xvyiM
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOogNKzZaM
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM1pAMSqIO
In the span of a few hours, the pods arrived at their destination. The Prince and his comrade awaited their arrival, preparing to greet them once they landed. The pods crashed into the designated area, revealing the two saiyans aboard them. Kakarot fought to keep his composure, but couldn't help but smile after gazing upon the mighty warriors that stood before him. He approached them, taking a knee after reaching them.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUl61Ff57v
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYlaxcfemE
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoGuQZ9SAs
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrnN0JLf0W
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y613G9d2c
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrZX6tAvq4
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi91ylDkMcC
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V2sb255ZG
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOLur0C3yL
The prince hesitated.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyjbUflF2U
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq1sr0Fnvq
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42CsBmxYfg
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfueE2PtoZ
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xkHHmCKyS
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcZKFf5eup
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUvMpsZBan
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEElV5bqbrS
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLznyS1KfQ
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEyQ7PuRtL
Kakarot examined his surroundings, quickly taking notice of the highly guarded area. The soldiers that surrounded them didn't appear to be saiyans, but they wore similar apparel. Aside from small animals and critters, no other signs of life were present. The vast land ahead of them was empty, only them and the soldiers occupied the space. They entered a large, elegant building with huge pieces of glass art, depicting an unknown civilization of people. They came to a halt in front of a throne with various seats. The prince took his rightful place on the throne as Nappa sat on a seat right beside, displaying a sense of authority. Kakarot and Raditz took a seat on a more mundane section, next to the Colonel in command of the Tuffle army.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iAeUhcigU
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn4W1TtXt4
Kakarot: “Yes, he told me about Frieza and what he did to our people. I've agreed to help you crush him on behalf of the saiyan race!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhAMCexR7P
Vegeta: “You've got spirit, but it's going to take more than that to defeat this scum. You see, aside from his troublesome power, Frieza also wields a powerful army. In order to get to Frieza, we have to get rid of that pesky army first. We've made an alliance with the Tuffle race, he who sits beside you is the commander of their military in fact. Having them on our side is a big help, but we can't be too careless, we need to recruit more allies. Until we get the remaining forces, we must lay low.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPMjPyRkWu
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxtThZWAsv
Vegeta: “We've been eyeing a planet known as Tatsu. We hear their kind are great for combat, and legend has it, amongst them is one they call Amaterazu. If he's as strong as they say, forcing him to submit to our leadership could be just the advantage we're looking for!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VkqqVvOQ7
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywHMQvAkxE
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XnNkJW17f
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhZV965tWz
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡledVuM96jN
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWYlty0bkx
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW0PsPLzI9
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl4ttE57vW
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWxPBpJUS3
Vegeta: “I'm having doubts about your little brother, you sure his mind hasn't been corrupted from being away from his people for that long?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kus9pF7Sz
Raditz: “I'll admit, he's a bit of an oddball, but you know me, Prince, I can get him on board, just trust me. Take him to planet Tatsu with us, I'll work my magic.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpWJ6XTd9l
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgeQ81klBT
The pair made their way back to the room where the rest waited in silence. Vegeta took his place on his throne, continuing his speech.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFNkjNmFUp
Vegeta: “Ahem, like I said, we'll be paying the Tatsu race a visit. If luck is on our side, they'll be just what we need to turn the tide on Frieza. Until further notice, we can't make too much commotion though, if Frieza finds out we're plotting against him, it's over. Now then, prepare your pods, we're leaving at noon. You're all dismissed.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6KUB3zsMy
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqapeJG2jy
Kakarot: “Raditz, are we really going to kill all of them if they don't comply? What good would such an act even do for us?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBNmynD4fS
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xbtYJvMzu
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINueCOMPZV
Raditz: “Listen, if we let them live, there exists the possibility of Frieza getting to them and getting information we'd rather he didn't have. We can't take that risk. It's just another sacrifice in the name of the greater good is it not? It's not their fault we chose them, but it's not our's that Frieza enslaved us after killing our kind. In order to win some, others must lose some. That is war, for someone that has lived in one all their lives, I'm sure you can understand it.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68pQVoqInu
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUrRDVbz7X
Raditz: “Now quit your whining, this is going to be your official, first real fight. Aren't you excited? Don't you want to feel that thrill again?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnT6tdguOZ
Kakarot's mood took a sudden turn. A smirk fueled by excitement lit up on his face. He clenched his fists as if the mere thought of battle pumped up his adrenaline.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ661zPVn3Px
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFHCkCH5uG
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJE9JNHz8S
Kakarot: “Please, brother, let me have another go, even if it's just for a few minutes! I want to fight! I want to be a great saiyan like you, and like Prince Vegeta.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbM8xRImxb
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtck66A0emf
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3YQkj8xr4
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ717eEC5S
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTwg4A4LER
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqqd1Co0RD
Raditz: “Hehe, what can I say? Can't help being strong! Hmm… there might be a way for you to hold your own y’know?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M3AubanlJ
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxkppM6I8G
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSISBdfdJ9E
Raditz raised his hands just above his shoulders. His ki surged into both of his palms, forming purple shaded ki spheres. He released them, shooting forward dual ki waves. He detonated them before they made contact with their surroundings.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUqq3go7eJ
Kakarot: “What was that?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPw9TlC2m6
Raditz: “That's my special move, I call it the Double Sunday. By focusing your energy into a single point, you can let out an attack with more power than your average strike. It took me a while to master this technique, but with practice, you should be able to come up with one of your own.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKthzTtDFDd
Kakarot: “You never cease to amaze me. Tell me, brother, if Vegeta is the prince, then where do you and Nappa fall in the hierarchy as the last of our kind?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsSEeXRPs3
Raditz: “Nappa has always been Vegeta's loyal goon. That bootlicking bastard serves as his right hand man, unfortunately, he has the power to back it up too. I, however, am working my way up to a similar position. The prince has been considering giving me a permanent role in the royal force.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfut4GT488
Kakarot: “That sounds great. I hope it all works out for you. I, on the other hand, think Imma settle down with my family for good after all of this is over.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnYxIJD6Xi
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqFIXN68X2
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfREURsx2W
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos934I32OA
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1pHb8EWuG
Raditz: “You're thinking too much about it. Stick around for longer, in time you'll find that all you seek is here with us.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLolmBQvog
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkq54eBTjw
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAj1kkK9pD
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT5UQsBeFw
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGjxoL7JcJ
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7f4Vvism4
Vegeta: “The Colonel has set the coordinates in our pods. The Tuffles also placed some new upgrades to these sweet rides, we'll get there in no time so be ready.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEVmc7vzVS
They all nodded in approval to the prince before entering their pods. The ships took off at blinding speeds. Kakarot observed the vast, outer space in astonishment. The wonders of the countless worlds beyond his own planet never ceased to amaze him. Before long, the pods crashed into planet Tatsu. The squad left their vehicles to confront their next targets, but to their surprise, the landscape was deserted. Not even the slightest sound of a small gush of wind was audible.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO9tXddp0m
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjKEsTHMGb
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVeGIxPQ90
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLcpRi7tmZ
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqha9UwNnS8
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvSgkUIKBg
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWOARY1SlK
Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgIXhznbI0
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a2DfWmZgm
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhDEVa2gn2
The eyelids of the creatures twitched. Their joints cracked and snapped out of place before restoring themselves back into their original form. They all turned to each other.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb16fb7zVm
“Your foot is on my tail!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfRopQ9RcG
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQbBL7kuoH
The two creatures swung at each other. Their fight created a chain of events, causing more needless fights amongst each other, before long, they were all partaking in a huge brawl.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW9QMTlyyz
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG6NOILXwa
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEwGW1t073
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDMpNkHlGW
Vegeta: “This is your chance to feel the true thrill of battle. Join us, we're about to show these fools a real rumble! Let em have it, boys!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3DCB7xOrU
The mighty prince smashed into a group of the battling creatures, blowing them away with the sheer force of the impact. Nappa lifted his fingers, generating an explosion that took out another bunch. A free for all battle royale commenced. Kakarot hesitated, he watched his comrades partake in the fight, feeling a sense of guilt for their actions. Raditz approached his brother.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2YApSYJWs
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb36BvjQmD
Kakarot: “Could Frieza even hope to interrogate these guys? What information could he even get from people as barbaric and dumb as them? We have no reason to kill them anymore.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Tke8LUuB
Raditz: “They're lowlives that serve no purpose to us or even themselves. If we don't do it, they'll just kill each other regardless. Stop listening to those stupid ideals the earthlings instilled upon you. Your mind is telling you no, but what does your heart say?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6vCiOXWTR
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoWVRxKsNr
Raditz: “You're neglecting your own desires for something so meaningless. Go! Be saiyan! Show your pride! Us saiyans will conquer together, let them know that! I'll catch up with you later.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfMNf666fa
Raditz rushed to the battlefield in hopes to get in on the fun. Kakarot observed his fellow saiyans, watching how they fought. The prince made light work of the toughest of creatures, mercilessly ending their lives with single and swift blows. A smile overtook his face with every victory. Kakarot clenched his fists, fighting his urge. The unsuspecting saiyan was caught by a sudden blow to his face. The punch sent him to the floor. He snapped into action and returned the attack, knocking his opponent into another Tatsu, stumbling them both over. They caught their balance and set their targets on Kakarot. Without hesitation, they rushed the novice saiyan simultaneously. Kakarot struggled to fend them off, taking blows left and right from both. One of the creatures punched his gut, staggering the saiyan. His arms fell loose. His blood began to pump again, faster than before. A rush of adrenaline took over his body. He used the opportunity to catch and hold the creature's arm down and countered him with a powerful headbutt. He followed it up with a ki blast that blew the creature into pieces. He dashed to the other enemy, striking the bottom of his jaw with the palm of his hand and used the opening punch a hole through his chest. He immediately set his sight on more nearby opponents as the options were seemingly endless. He jumped into a hoard of the violent species and fought every single one at once. He took multiple blows in the process but returned just as much. Guilt, regret, love, hate, anger, all sense of emotion had lost its meaning, all but one, the overwhelming sense of excitement. He took blows from different angles all at once, the damage didn't slow him down as he leapt into the air and shot a ki blast that created an explosion which blew away a chunk of the hoard. One of them jumped out from behind, preparing a devastating attack. His efforts were intercepted by Vegeta who chopped his arm off and kicked him away. Kakarot turned around, realizing the prince had just saved him from potential danger.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Cysi25gZ
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9psZE2RZlq
Kakarot smiled.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWOZZwGShD
Kakarot: “Understood!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD140uziiR7
The two leapt back into action, taking on the hoard, side by side. They fought together in a flawless sync, their fists complimented each other's style, fighting together as though they were one. The ground trembled once more, more violently than before. The Tatsu species halted their combat and began to flee.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiLbjOPcKk
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAjawCjZVz
A similar looking dragon humanoid emerged from underneath. He was noticeably larger than the rest. Flames burned throughout his body. His presence alone disintegrated bystanders. Sympathy was a foreign concept to the beast as it had no trouble smashing through its own people as it approached the saiyans.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcZa1eRqMW
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCveRwkfj2
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa7wQSux32
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79y7NIPSWs
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt0KJDrPaR
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiVV2ZsDMo
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnVL8Ipi2n

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvFbCP9iJn
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfyTSggoLE
Kakarot jumped into action, pouring down a flurry of various strikes. Modora blocked each attack, delivering a powerful backhand in return. He knocked blood out of the saiyan and shattered some of his armor. Modora grabbed the staggered warrior and smashed him to the ground. His grip remained firm as he continued to slam Kakarot against their surroundings a few more times. His scorching hot skin left its marks on the saiyan.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0xkHCoj4a
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnMfp1jvyo

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2e2smwTGM
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lkPgJcY86
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgntHjuxxU
Modora tossed him into the air, he engulfed his fist in flames and slammed it into Kakarot. The powerful blow shot the saiyan through the sky and straight to the ground. He stood up, visibly injured. His breaths were heavy, but to everyone's surprise, his smile remained as strong as ever. He charged back into the battle with no doubts or regrets. He rushed the dragon beast once more, this time, sneaking in a precise jab to the beast's forehead. He continued the assault with a kick to his neck and ki blast to follow it up. Modora slid back a few feet. He was in disbelief with the sudden shift in power. Kakarot's body screamed in pain, but the mighty warrior could only hear the loud thumping of his heart, fueling the adrenaline that gave him life.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa2jJRw81A
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiIvEQ3rb5
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvmU3Es5jx
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3O7sWuPt3
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83xrRFzp5M
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoowoUP3T5f
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroM8vvdTPw
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhokdTO8qR
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nhuCDJcUr
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXufVZmhIl
Modora levitated towards the sky. He raised his palm into the air, where it engulfed itself within a ball of fire only slightly larger than his hand. Kakarot remained on foot. He raised his hands, aiming them at his enemy. They gradually developed a purple glow, sparks of overflowing energy emitted around the glow. He lowered his hands and clenched his fists before raising them in the same position again, letting out two purple beams of energy that circled around one another before merging into one larger beam.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Y14EFecY
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8b8H0hO4u
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AkKKnlXYZ
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rMqPVBQSC
The attacks crashed together, Modora's flames were put out almost instantaneously. The mighty beast suffered heavy damage from the blast and collapsed to the ground, steaming from the heat of the blast. Kakarot's eager demeanor faded. Raditz approached his brother in both shock and concern.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcTyNo1GOe
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrId7LJ7sw

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iO7twPPjB
Kakarot: “I don't know what happened back there, but it was exhilarating! I never knew this is what it meant to be a saiyan.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1CxkposhQ
Kakarot raised his arms in the air, he savored his victory for winning had never felt so rewarding. He shouted at the top of his lungs.

Kakarot: “Huh?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpM6wmzTJr
Modora ascended from the ground with no warning, landing a clean slash with his claws on Kakarot's chest. Blood gushed out as Kakarot collapsed from the off guard attack.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs9erF5szc
Raditz: “Why you!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXrZsQ7tHD
In a mere instant, the angry warrior smited the weakened beast with a single blast, leaving nothing behind. He rushed to attend to his injured sibling. Raditz held him up.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDn4lQRyKo
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaLmtr7T99

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt9k5nVkt0
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP8WgBsD55
“This doesn't make sense, he could have easily taken a full power blow from that thing head on. Why did a simple attack like that nearly do him in? Hmm..I'll have to look further into this later.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C6ROAAIlZ
The ship took off, heading straight back to planet Plant. Kakarot was immediately rushed into a room with medics as soon as the ship landed.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzXHA9cqNR
Doctor: “There's not much left to do here other than a few stitches and basic medication. Are you sure his injuries were as severe as you claimed?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVjg2L3l77
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQBmokNAHj
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LgnTGxwQU
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLQwXt9htj
Doctor: “I will sir.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v4cpZgRHV
Raditz left the room. Kakarot rested for about an hour before regaining full consciousness. He stretched out his arms. His joints felt relaxed and more flexible than ever. It was almost as though his injuries had never happened.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FywdQPnlN
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WlrQ9WNEL

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxgjCtaxkr

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ3iXAuoXZ

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsdFkbGPwr

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneq2MFZeaM

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUUQ6Kffb0
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3j3odQKaf
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfygw4VOJqh
Raditz: “Cool it down a little. This is going to be a long process, we can't just rush into another planet without knowing if there's anything of value.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ8gHcbbxL
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlJwqHBzo9
Raditz: “I've had that idea too, Frieza would never suspect we'd be hiding out in such a low value planet. To most, your world is useless, but to us, it has all the resources we need and more! But why the sudden change of heart?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQljyhz19m
Kakarot: “If I'm being honest, it's not really about the saiyan empire for me. When this is all over, I'll head back and leave this behind. But if I bring it back home with me, bring you guys home with me, the thrill won't have to end with the war against Frieza. I don't want to leave you guys, but I don't want to leave my family either.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWnu06S7Ss
Raditz: “If all goes well then you might just get what you're asking for. I still don't understand this obsession you have with your wife and boy though.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0ISts4SlL
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbmgp2gvZ1
Raditz: “Of course not! Saiyans are born for so much more than that, we only mate to breed more warriors. I couldn't care less what happens after that.”

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHN9yvkCIZ

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3PmBRrGka

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUeazcLvh2
The boy struggled to contain his excitement and followed his father. Kakarot picked him up and swooped into the air, flying to meet up with the other saiyans. They flew past some damaged cities with frightened citizens running around.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnH15orZ3z
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB4suD56Na

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡina0ZZ2YSs
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmJtMd2J3i
Kakarot: “They'll be fine. Humans tend to fear what they don't understand. Our family won't cause any harm, they're here to help this torn planet. You'll understand when you're older.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa0CGZQL7y
The boy simply nodded and watched, incapable of shaking the uneasy feeling from the sight. Kakarot descended near a large space ship, surrounded by soldiers. Beet held on tightly to his father as they walked past the intimidating army. They reached the entrance to the ship.

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoDeP2OJwy
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZPaOIvteG
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt95yLZXLSF
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSvYEG6wGW
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RhDbIvmA3
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZkUCKxdei
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTxJhNpGeY
Raditz: “I will..”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUb2L1pax7
Raditz turned to his comrades.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRvIlGmT3f
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQOgc5zH3U
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCxXVzKfMx
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTbKLpXpBZ
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrknYzQgvU
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GuLl6EX36
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAn6fa9Xu5
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4bUM3W78u
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡape98NLtJn
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvCQWq3V4N
Beet: “Okay!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIIq5xNi2S
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2rMCn8YyA
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJSVn9jT93
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1bF33FwfX
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqFXkMtqiP
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxe8V01a7X
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGhdjZMzYE
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtXc0dFGoz
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdmKfoRkwe
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd5cyfgWTR
Raditz’s scouter went haywire. A powerful wave of energy burst out of the young hybrid's mouth. Raditz's eyes widened before jumping out of the way at the last second. He slowly looked up, immediately noticing the damaged wall from the blast.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujIPFmz1cD
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpUPNPg9za
He gradually lifted himself up, still shaky from what he had just witnessed. Beet fell to his knees, his body could no longer take the punishment.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIGij54Bfe
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFHBLpJyXs
Beet: “O-Okay.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuyEaxW8hD
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDa1zut7HP
Kakarot: “What happened?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCJzGtu8Go
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PGFVUXtYb
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz04KFlHAf
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavefyKqRRk
Kakarot: “Fine.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tvv1AAlTO
He stared at his brother for a mere moment before taking off with his son. Raditz made his way to Vegeta's personal room inside the ship. His thoughts ate away at him.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63xzcLsqMV
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXZj5h08lh
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJHzipz10u
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn2k9wXTK7
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yQyDSPAmt
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMZLWNdlBF
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkWJfhAELM
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDEAOI5GHR
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWKxykTfGa
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPNjVO6ORL
Vegeta: “The spot you seek is still open for anybody who proves their worth. With that being said, I have faith in you Raditz. I know better than to trust your word, but your actions speak louder, so swear your loyalty to me and I'll continue to keep you in mind as my ears and eyes.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgKmOsWVbw
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk2yeajWBx
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsXxmaGW6w
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmHiTmarHQ
Vegeta: “On the contrary, it means he has both the potential of an earthling and a saiyan combined, and that's not even considering it's the boy of a low class like Kakarot.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39PNEfn2KJ
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7pDFgHtEs
Vegeta: “You're a sharp one, yes I did. If the rest found out they could breed warriors more powerful than myself, my role as the prince would be diminished. I'd be seen as a joke. I'll have to birth a son of my own to take my place before that. For now however, we won't have to worry about that, I've discouraged any desire to spawn new warriors. Frieza is our only priority. The only lingering issue is Kakarot's boy.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6tbHpgpbA
Raditz: “You won't have to worry about him, sir, he can't use that strength at will. It will be a while before he learns to muster up that power on his own.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6sK9y6Ofp
Vegeta: “I see, time is on our side for now, we can continue to focus on Frieza, until then, can't let the others know about the power hidden within the hybrid, I trust you'll make sure it stays that way.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AYFOOHAUh
Raditz: “Understood.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxOoxDeP1P
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4uauFr9bC
Raditz departed from the room.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwhAG3MYYv
“Haaaa”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqGK1EwCpn
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQvlkvuppt
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhbXPicudh
Kakarot: “Right.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr65Bw2kaB
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZME3ShO9Q
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjocMaPyZL
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb21Z66ox0
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEIl5KIRuP
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFTt3QNPd1
Time would fly as the saiyans battled their way through different civilizations, recruiting while simultaneously ending many. Their conquests would take a short pause in between.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMikned5qli
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry9h7ZLQ0Z
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkOovQ97jO
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ590crr30ji
Bulma: “The man of the house is gone for months with no warning and he's the one who gets to be upset. You stop by less and less every time, I don't even know why you still bother to come at this point since you're probably going to leave again this same night!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQhBOZbj1n
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdzJAc090o
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59GDk94mKW
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4mzsb2mir
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmkR3lNjvm
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9HcBYMFq0
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCwNqrkVHY
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegvlOWLXnd
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirF4hS5dDG
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEixvmhwMW
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkMHhckl4B
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxW5IwTUJq
Beet smiled and hugged his father. The sun couldn't have set sooner as Kakarot stood near the door, preparing to leave. Beet slept peacefully, unaware of his father's absence in the room.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Fa0gVcZz
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkuwu2aCtZ
Kakarot turned around.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I7EwTtvET
Bulma: “What happened to you? You're not the man I grew up with. Kakarot is a loving man that fought for peace. He was a man that protected and provided for his family, a loving husband and father. Whoever this us right now, I don't know you.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra9NHSkiE3
Kakarot: “I was everything you needed me to be because you gave me what no one else did, I never once stopped to consider who I wanted to be.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgpW2ZDcUR
Bulma: “I only wanted to make you happy and to make you feel safe like you did to me on the day we met! You saved me from the red ribbon army after they tried to kidnap me for my inventions, you remember, right?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSsdiGreyz
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8W0qov4qL
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxOi6pkqMW
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ614Uj9i11B
Bulma: “You know what's the worst part of this all? Everytime you leave, there's this look on your face, this-this thrill! It's been making me start to think that you actually like what you do out there.. But my greatest fear, is that maybe, you always have.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C6xaY6s1s
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92jCpC8q1X
He turned right back around and exited the place he once called his home, flying away into the distance. Bulma took a seat on the nearest chair and broke down into tears.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhPK9I9gPq
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnr0QgbFaw
Vegeta: “Alright boys! The time has finally arrived! We've gathered enough troops and have raised our own battle power significantly throughout the process. I can comfortably say we have a shot at destroying Frieza once and for all! Colonel!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGHjwhLfMb
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mxwRehsvj
Vegeta: “Prepare the troops and run the plans by them again. Oh, and don't try any sort of rebellion against us this late into the party. I guarantee you we'll be the least of your problems if Frieza gets a hold of you.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUGbtSj6vl
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraJ1qILpzE
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3pSHRLTiU
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR6uuxdagj
Raditz: “Getting too excited for this one might cost you. Don't take Frieza so lightly. Remember the plan little brother, we'll see each other on the other side once it's all over!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpIVR7TuQT
Kakarot: “Right!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtGB3V5yM5
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYFqn2S1xA
Kakarot: “Yes?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6gLMEwV40
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7shJKYffbY
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV3Wzd0AKY
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15qgLLOPtB
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpe3w193Xj
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdezDS8ds5Y
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8M73QY7z8
Vegeta: “Raditz, head to your separate pod and take your leave at once, we'll group up in the ship along with the others once the Colonel deems them ready.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEGcKRkOar
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwFpRD4MUP
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypO2hxJRM3
Raditz turned to his brother.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeZOVtXUZx
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi16YcQbjwP
Raditz: “Right..”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mApIZ0kx0
Raditz took off with his pod.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBBCOH3sQg
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JKX6Ow2u3
“Let me take a look.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMcNzKgQdG
Beep! Beep! Beep!
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbdzoKXeVP
“Oh, it's just one of those putrid saiyans. No need to worry, I'll go greet him myself. I just hope his hideous looks don't rub off on my beauty.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSVQ9yhRbm
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreCRv9omU4
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqXM0N3xUz
He bowed in respect.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAg3VravE6
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26FP562ZGE
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wucb3R0Ob
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa9lDbVmLh
Raditz: “I understand, however, I must clarify that these are urgent matters for we've gathered a lot of profitable planets and slaves for him. We have tons of eager customers awaiting his approval. Please, inform the lord as soon as possible! You wouldn't want to make him upset by letting such a big opportunity slip by him.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQnONs6yZu
Zarbon: “Hmph. I'll inform him at once. My only conditions are that you stay by my side at all times, I cannot risk you pulling anything sneaky, I know better than to trust YOUR kind.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S26C4PDH7
Raditz: “As you wish.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGvhWiDFAl
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdPugF5uDS
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j64nU1Hei
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGMjJ32S5s
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdlUN1PqJM
Vegeta: “Okay, I'll run it all back at once so we're on the same page. Raditz will lure Frieza back to his base with his proposition.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGqOml37is
Zarbon: “Take a seat over there. There's guards outside so don't even think of anything! I'll step out to let lord Frieza know about your request.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NrDkZefNj
Zarbon took his leave.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXXWT4gB6Y
Vegeta: “Once he's got sight of Frieza's ship entering the atmosphere, he'll launch an artificial moon into the sky. That will be our sign to make our move. With this distance, the scouters can't track us but we can't track them either, so Raditz needs to be the one to alert us.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ5fDWr2mC
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcYy7xXCdE
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QXHmsugyI
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDjHUnhJM7
Raditz chuckled.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbJhZMqDgU
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1eUtOti7x
Vegeta: “We'll use the artificial moon to transform into great apes and hit Frieza with everything we've got! A surprise attack to finish him for good! Frieza never leaves without at least one of his right hand men, if we take him out, we get one of them too. Less opposition for us.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNitTX7bs7
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttIWOydjvH
Beep! Beep! Beep!
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDMXTX60fS
Raditz: “He's here…”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGApLBpKuIx
Vegeta: “Once we've wiped that ugly tyrant from this world, we'll send in the troops to help us destroy what's left. Frieza has too many loyal goons that would stand by him even after his demise. No one gets out of here alive!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV2S3BwWUZ
Raditz took his stand and shot his artificial moon into the sky, smashing through the roof in the process. The commotion alerted everyone within the site.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc2JGnwzbg
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKRClFjlAQ
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA7HsRTK2N
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq5ANc0m3O
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzKy3jBgo2
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe6TJdkGZC
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgxIjmVGvI
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0qkWydW0M
The mighty trio shot forth their attack in union, obliterating Frieza's incoming ship, causing the remains to crash into the ground. They landed their ship and reverted to their base forms.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvHWoCaLhW
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy9k8y0uNs
Vegeta signaled for the others to follow his lead while the soldiers they had recruited went on to finish Frieza's army of henchmen. They approached Frieza's fallen ship. Vegeta lifted the remains.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKjBeZkGDi
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY63AuMTnSB
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJaQlH18Ev
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPotOYP73gS
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIexJMzk864
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTo038mUPk
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGopFDiYUba
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfKeHpdPeT
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGc8xAhS77
Raditz: “Damn it!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJKZIVwxN0
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkHDUvOBH2
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0zpHBx6TE
Raditz shot a small blast at the ground, creating a wall of blinding smoke. He lunged himself forward at Dodoria, smashing him through the building.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6LClKUzGE
Frieza: “I can't say I'm not impressed, I never expected a simian like you to be able to plan such a calculated rebellion. It's a shame things have once again gone south for you saiyans.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CNYYkBSFM
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEJ86lEpQf
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRakDHd9ht
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR42iJZf21
Dodoria shot a blast of energy from his mouth. Raditz caught the beam and redirected it back to the sender. Dodoria was blasted away and crashed to the ground. Zarbon approached from behind, going for a surprise kick at Raditz. The saiyan warrior caught on just before the kick connected and blocked the attack. Zarbon was left wide open which Raditz took full advantage of.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOf2GWNYzn
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07zsoT5LOA
A ball of purple energy burst from Raditz's hand, crashing into Zarbon. The impact sent him flying away. He recovered as quickly as he could and reunited with Dodoria.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtUnrX4Gb0
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfwoAqPIt0
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnynRzE1Pr
Beep! Beep! Beep!
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7jN8lLZ3p
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjylYA2BJF2
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l3LEwY4j7
Zarbon: “Perhaps Lord Frieza made the right move in eliminating their race, their ability to grow should not be overlooked. We have no choice! We have to fight together!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZeZunvFdH
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrfjPr7L4e
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNszvDrCU5i
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx5efT0g17
The pair went forward with their assault. Raining down a barrage of various blows at Raditz. The saiyan warrior fended off every blow, but the overwhelming flurry left no opening for retaliation. He jumped out of their reach but they immediately tracked him with a united ki blast. He blocked the blast, taking no damage from it. He took a surprise kick from behind his head by Zarbon and suffered an immediate follow up punch by Dodoria.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZYdrj6M1X
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5QSZPqHS7
Dodoria: “Why you!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvXAwEoCmw
Dodoria charged forward with Zarbon following only a few feet behind. Raditz broke a chunk from the hill and crushed it into dust with his hand. He smirked and threw the left over rubble from the rock into their eyes. The impact shattered their scouters and blinded them temporarily.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLiCtkghh7
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RukfEttdf
The saiyan warrior struck Dodoria with a knee to his head. He followed up his kick with a blast that completely blew off his head, killing Jim immediately. Zarbon desperately rubbed his eyes, removing the irritation.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HA16aJGX8
Zarbon: “Damn it! It's really come to this hasn't it? Take a good look saiyan, this is the last thing you'll ever see!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrbI57jHqO

Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Uo9mu5f9T
Vegeta charged his energy, the entire planet shook in fear of his power. The ground trembled and mountains split. Without further hesitation, Vegeta darted to Frieza, rushing him with various attacks. The tyrant struggled to fend off the attacks, coming to the realization that the prince's gloating was more than just talk.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ554iJEovt6
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdlRMYmCbj
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI06EwTBDb5
Frieza: “I don't need any more of your little demonstration. I'm aware now that if I commit to this fight I could come out on top perhaps, but the other monkeys would likely intervene and ruin it for me. There's no purpose in entertaining this any longer.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTalIvR6zIg
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MR878TqsN
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”

Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQk3b7yoab
Zarbon crashed his arm into Raditz. He pounded the struggling warrior, knocking blood out of him with each blow. Raditz retaliated with a kick to his face. He leaped into the air and scattered a barrage of ki blasts at his monstrous opponent. Zarbon quickly recovered from the attacks and charged forward, headbutting Raditz in his face. Raditz returned the attack with a headbutt of his own. Their fighting took a short pause.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HL9eboO7j
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOTMD4KfL4
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZTaC0Ob8l
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LFt9vottT
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVaXzcDsWU
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsKvYJKCGI
The tyrant’s body went through a terrifying metamorphosis. His limbs enlarged at different rates and proportions. His power level burst through the roof, the saiyans began to lose their composure as fear took over their consciousness. Frieza ended his transformation, revealing his true strength.

Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmvc5LaW9D
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhh2lNCuyi
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu9WnUCf2h
His body grew as he morphed into the beast known as the Oozaru. Zarbon watched in fear as his opponent grew to a massive size. Raditz stomped on him, killing him immediately. He spotted his allies, noticing their struggle.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2PhUK3xdS
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFiu7LA7h3
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K6qfto3wm

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlvQaKtr8u
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkXqWFcV04
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjG9pggQgH
Kakarot: “Not again!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2DLTJ6U9m
Frieza lifted his hand, creating an explosion around them. The force knocked them all away, providing enough distance for him to safely transform. He went through another change, taking on his true form. All of his prior injuries healed.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoMx2qTtNl

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lvo6AI1Gi
Faster than any of them could track, Frieza shot a swift and small beam from his finger. Kakarot watched helplessly as the beam headed straight to Vegeta.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENM0IFFCER
Kakarot: “Look out!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtShF9ELKy3
He reached his arm out, desperately trying to get a hold of the prince and move him away. His efforts were pointless as the beam approached faster than he could close the distance. The laser hit, Nappa collapsed to the ground.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6fcZDyRQd

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrwFAO3iEY
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09M9nx7vxg

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBqermQPuj
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n8Wwguz1P
Kakarot commenced the battle by charging headfirst at the cynical tyrant. He lunged forward with a ferocious punch. Frieza dodged the attack with minimal effort. Raditz and Vegeta soon followed along, rushing Frieza with a flurry of attacks of their own. Frieza fended off the attacks with ease, demonstrating his sheer dominance. Kakarot continued his assault. The three attacked together in union. Explosions and bloodshed filled their surroundings as the soldiers from both sides continued their brutal war. Frieza raised his hand, he blew the opposing saiyans away with a wave of force. They retaliated with a ki blast shot in union. Frieza leaped into the air, evading all three at once. Kakarot rushed at him, swinging multiple fierce blows. Frieza dodged them all, returning a kick to his ribs. He spit out blood. The blow left him stunned from the pain. Frieza elbowed his cheek, sending him crashing to the ground. Kakarot shut his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth as he groaned in pain. He felt his broken body struggle to stand, and yet, against all odds, he stood. Vegeta dove straight in with a kick. Frieza caught his leg with his tail. He smirked as he watched the powerless saiyan attempt to free himself from his grasp.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWyZyLSWHq
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuIOXj4hwa
Vegeta shot a ki blast to the tyrant's face. Frieza flicked the blast away with minimal effort. He delivered a heavy punch to Vegeta's liver. He spit blood and gasped for air. Frieza tossed him into a building and followed it up with an explosion set off by his eyes.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW5bcxujXi
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAu9IEHPqS
Raditz unleashed his most devastating move. Frieza stopped it and dispersed the attack with a single hand. He flicked his hand towards himself, pulling Raditz closer with telekinesis.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKELk4vN5RC
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC1jalXghz

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmlsc7F0HI
Frieza: “You again!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB48pzAiQVW
Kakarot's face dripped in blood, his gaze was tense and focused on Frieza and nothing else. His fury overtook his consciousness, there was no room in his mind for words, only action. He viciously swung at Frieza, his blows ripped through the air. Frieza blocked a punch.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIoOmZ0bi0
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiKZhsqs6y
He yanked his arm and kicked the back of his head, following the attack with a whip from his tail. Kakarot crashed into a nearby building. He burst out from the rubble, charging at Frieza yet again.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSLbnQ3T3Y
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreEuyWxOH7
Kakarot landed a knee to Frieza's gut. He balled up his hands together and slammed them into Frieza's back. Frieza fell straight down but caught his balance before crashing against the ground.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R6cAIKoQX
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPdoXON1FH
He lifted his arms, large chunks of rubble went flying towards the saiyan. He smashed through them with his bare fists. Frieza used the distraction to land a mean headbutt to his face. He kneed his gut and punched his jaw. Kakarot was powerless against the tyrant’s onslaught. He took every blow head on. Frieza kicked him into a nearby hill, smashing it into pieces. He flew after the airborne saiyan, juggling him through the air with multiple blows. He delivered another punch to his face, knocking more blood out. Kakarot gradually turned his head back, pushing through Frieza's fist. He grabbed his arm and twisted it. Frieza yelped before getting punched in the mouth. Kakarot grabbed him from his face and zoomed to the nearest building, slamming Frieza's head into it. Frieza kicked him away, creating some distance.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYweTe5IYp
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRre6Nt0ikK
Kakarot's pupils were bright gold, his power shot up as his hair grew. His might shook every nearest planet. Raditz looked up from where he laid.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbpuQb3oPk
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBqJ4bMIOd
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeY6L9oWYf
Kakarot breached the distance between him and Frieza, landing and uppercut to his jaw. He followed it with a hook to his cheek and a knee to his chin. Frieza blasted him away. He sent forth and endless barrage of blasts, each exploded upon colliding. Kakarot began to force his way through the blasts. Fighting through the pain. He reached Frieza who immediately backed away upon seeing him appear through the attacks.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnzm2Fmyv1
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VqazKKwmc
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0zZQhL217
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TmRMkcCBq
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xmC89s8iB
Vegeta: “N-No. The super saiyan legend, he's supposed to be a golden warrior. This is different. It's hard to believe, but the one who stands before us is no longer Kakarot. Somehow he's managed to channel the power of the Oozaru without going through the transformation. Kakarot's been overtaken by his own strength, right now, there is no friend or foe, only combat.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYVumh8Mro
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7U4qylzMY
Vegeta: “I'm not entirely sure, but I've seen it before, a saiyan gets overtaken by their own power and leaves us with no choice but to be put down. I… I don't think we can stop Kakarot's rampage.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzi2IzUPQS
The two clashed back and forth. Trading blows. With each blow Kakarot grew more powerful and terrifying. His body shut out the pain of his injuries, focusing all of its energy and adrenaline on the fight. He rushed Frieza with a punch to his gut, slamming him into a mountain, smashing it upon crashing. Frieza froze him in place in a sphere of energy and kicked it away like a ball. He repeatedly kicked it around before spiking it to the ground. Kakarot rose from the ground. His armor was shattered and his body was battered. He put his arms out and shouted. His power spiked as the planet trembled. He clenched his fists and opened his mouth. A ball of energy formed in his mouth. Frieza raised his finger.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRD3hUMWbR
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgmLxVaR4b
A massive sphere of energy released from Frieza's finger. He tossed it downwards towards Kakarot. Kakarot fired a blast from his mouth. The attacks clashed, each pushed back against the other. The force of their struggle shook planets and stars. Frieza's supernova was claiming the edge, gradually forcing its way to its target. Raditz leaped into action, launching a special attack of his own to push back against the world ending wrecking ball. Vegeta soon followed.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUnXfT2JAO
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhBgjn1Erg
The prince unleashed his ultimate attack to support his allies. The three gave their all against the tyrant’s most fearsome attack yet. The planet crumbled, cracks formed on the ground. Soldiers were crushed by rubble or consumed by the planet's scars. Frieza's body bulked up.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jFobqYPkj
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkDJXVy4Zf
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0qIcYC0R1

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GgM666phk
The trio used the distraction to find an opening in Frieza's attack, piercing through it and hitting the tyrant head on with their combined power. The destructive force of their beam sent Frieza crashing down.

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJK8laztaw
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv2wetduzD

Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL409XnyqOF
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj0oRFBosO

460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNMmB3AY2T
Frieza used the last of his strength to shoot one last attack at Kakarot while his back was turned. Kakarot felt a new sensation, a 6th sense that allowed him to feel the attack heading towards him. He turned around and punched the attack away. He approached Frieza at blinding speeds. He stood in front of him for a moment, looking down at him.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB5fnHWLhX
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9rX3vTmzX
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.

Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxOcuUrwf8
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLbsi4R1D6
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPhrloP5DE
Kakarot: “It's done…”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLEfrrudwR
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLMjQMOa59
Vegeta ascended into the air.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpuDlEoR1h
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdxE0CwjdE
Their military began to retreat back to the ship. Frieza's men fell to their knees, some begged for their lives, others preferred to perish than betray their lord. Everyone regrouped in the ship. The ship took off into space, leaving not too far away from the atmosphere of the planet.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSg9WYDPXH
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisIdSHxXj7
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1jAxO7hSk
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS0uTvyBHo
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDh17n6m4z
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDi4dfbQJ2
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSnRf378rv
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevyg78KURk
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDN11enp59
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadCLtOfM0z
The Colonel smirked after securing his success and retreated to another room. Vegeta on the other hand, couldn't find it in himself to crack as much as a smile. Kakarot took a seat.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9MtKjStTE
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWhb3fLcaj
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjngyudqyt
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwokz67Nxlc
Vegeta glared at Kakarot. His gaze was locked in on him for the entire ride back home. The ship landed on earth. After all the action, everyone was fatigued and mentally drained. They took the rest of the day off to rest. The next day couldn't have come any sooner. Raditz reported to the “Battle Station,” as per Vegeta's request earlier.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDctGUt2vQq
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg3HuielAL
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy4PMMIIgL
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZAGZBLu3j
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGtG5IeAzX
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNMu83EYI0
Vegeta: “With Nappa gone, his position has been left open. I'm providing you an opportunity to seal the deal for good and sit by me as a conqueror.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMnFpR6yuz
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLv9XRtO9W
Vegeta: “I can read you like a book, Raditz, you're a notorious schemer. With Kakarot rising in the hierarchy, you've gained the perfect opportunity to seize the throne from me by his side and let your bloodline rule for centuries to come. But I'm telling you know, it's a plan doomed to fail.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMiz86YoKo
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLZ9Ld4mJ0
Vegeta: “Even now you play your cards to end up on the winning side. Kakarot isn't a leader like me, he couldn't even bare the responsibility of ruling his own planet after having conquered it. On top of his uncontrollable power, he's unstable and ultimately unfit to rule. Your empire would fall apart and eventually all that power would mean nothing. If you want to win, you stick with me.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIyuFNHBbW
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XYPPIFAUy
Vegeta: “I know your real problem, Raditz. This isn't about you choosing which side benefits you most, you've simply grown soft. His earthling nature has rubbed off on you, but both you and I know that this mentality is his greatest flaw. One that will cost him dearly one day, one that will cost YOU everything. You're a saiyan warrior, you know what the right choice here is.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkYW3OimzX
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqugcTxfI0N
Vegeta: “He has a soft spot for you, the same way you talked that fool into joining us is the same way you’ll convince him to leave for good. I can't afford having him show me up, it would permanently bruise my reputation. I need you to get rid of him one way or another. This is your final task to secure your spot next to me.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA55HkIqsd
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yOqojPYCK
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21XTAcvUaK
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0NI2ZZ4uW
Kakarot: “I've avenged our people, I should feel great and yet I feel more conflicted than ever. Everything was great and now I'm back to square one.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrTnytdFiR
He looked at his fist in shame.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3L9zb89dE
Kakarot: “That moment, it felt so strange. Losing myself in battle is a common occurrence, but in that moment, I feared nothing, not for my life or even the life of my comrades. I almost killed my own brother. I'm lying to myself, the truth…. The truth is I loved it… but it scared me.. Bulma… Beet, they're probably still waiting for me. I haven't seen them for a while.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkDxIsMOqZ
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdq17H5bqE
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCm8axoNXr
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P7LMZjsvm
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LUffPZUCD
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXjjVIXybl
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO35esnTl6
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujeNK9pYM8
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwPEluE7Cw
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdilvRT4QLR
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4xkwOHFJs
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3CM9oVrDJ
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEzm2jg249
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvHx6wizbq
Raditz: “One of Frieza's goons, Frieza had many connections… I guess they didn't waste time in tracking us. They damaged my scouter too, I couldn't get a hold of you sooner..”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVnWb5xN35
Kakarot rushed inside, disregarding his brother. He tossed aside the rubble that he once called his home. After some digging, he found Bulma and Beet, laying still on the ground, stained from their own blood.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbY5vSAAv6
Kakarot: “No…”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr91VoOL8U
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwUEo0jvL4
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyAkvqYt0c
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptWkhXiHmw
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh8btEJKL9
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkfpRQXQen
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZr6XesBS0
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJS0imz2xP
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYETSN6LTr
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTV6FzHUYG
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUudSb3tl8a
Kakarot sensed an incoming attack but was too late to react. Raditz shot a blast through Kakarot's back from behind, piercing through his liver. Blood dripped from Kakarot's wound and mouth. He laid on the ground, struggling to move or speak.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOorVOY9eTQ
Raditz: “I really wish it didn't have to come to this, brother, but the prince is right, being around you made me soft, I had to let go of you if I truly wanted to succeed.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyEY9O6Spb
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkyPMVbNY6
Raditz: “Back then when we destroyed the Tatsus, I learned something. Our power levels drop in moments of vulnerability, even the weakest of warriors can fatally wound the mightiest in such a scenario. To think your biggest weakness would be your heart in the end haha! Let my words sink in while you draw your last breaths.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtRy2yksuo
Raditz flew away, leaving his brother to die. Kakarot helplessly looked at his deceased family, unable to speak or move properly. The rain left him colder than his body was already getting. He groaned in pain for a while before his groans gradually died out and his eyes fell shut.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6HngDVQMM
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL1merBE78
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY2vDLp27c
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa0DTw4vKN
Vegeta: “That's what I like to hear! I'm a man of my word, from here on out, you're my right hand man.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG3xn36fdq
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4V1QsMLRk
Raditz bowed down in respect.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKxSvFVnDw
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchmPMljDsB
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXVzuNkLzb
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDDfrAWhJh
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZKFfnMMTc
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnh8ECTLMi
Vegeta: “Well, looks like we have a mess to clean up. In his condition, he won't last very long. Assist me, Raditz, let's make sure he stays down this time!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic8o1OS3Dx
Raditz: “Right!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41KuiQFnXG
Kakarot: “I-I don't understand! What happened t-to the saiyan pride! We were friends working towards the same goal! What about N-Nappa!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSqSJJlNE4
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxeMlDO0nL
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrqwhClZOw
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ86GEuUmjt
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUHK0Y9r4c
Tears ran down his face.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqzsfQ5EFn
Kakarot: “I gave up everything to be a part of you all! B-But you're just like everyone else.. power, control, that's all that really matters to you huh? Saiyan pride is nothing but a load of bullshit! It was never about Frieza or the saiyans was it?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0ZcUDlse9
Vegeta: “Of course not! The strong survive and the weak die. Those not willing to do anything to remain at the top and nothing less, are mere weaklings simply waiting to die!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJZQCy4pJR
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFfBx06j3p
He shot a blast at his fellow saiyans. They evaded his attack and rushed to attack him. Vegeta and Raditz attacked from left and right, overwhelming Kakarot with various combinations. He fended off the attacks but had no room to counter. Raditz kicked his injured liver, staggering Kakarot. Vegeta used the opening to land a straight right to his face. The saiyans kicked him away in union. Kakarot crashed through a wall from the building. They immediately continued their assault, following him outside, raining ki blasts on him like the rain that poured from the clouds. Kakarot struggled to free himself from the pressure, taking the blasts head on. He got a sudden burst of power and used it to hit Vegeta with an energy blast that knocked him away.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYiFQEDYvk
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQmcxMqYJz
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AmLcgoxId
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FZDDbmnLG
Raditz smirked.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BKscdi87F
Raditz: “I w-wont lie to you.. I really did care about yo-u.. Br-other. B-But that love made me weak. The w-weak don't survive.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14YrWltBCN
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCLWYkccRq
Vegeta came in with a kick that knocked Kakarot off of Raditz. Kakarot got on his knees and rested his hands on the floor. Tears ran down his face. He laughed hysterically while simultaneously sobbing in a disturbing fashion.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkIEdZ319p
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmO5TklXs3
He pounded the ground.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2amHMlxBc
Kakarot: “I should thank you, brother, you've opened my eyes! Both of you have! I spent too much time caring about meaningless, worthless things. I'm Kakarot, the greatest warrior that ever was and ever will be! I was only born for one thing and one thing only!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOcAZZ9cS9
His hair grew in length and his pupils turned golden. His eyes developed a red, deep outline. He stood up, his demeanor was more relaxed from before and he had no trouble standing.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F3lw9Cuf8
Kakarot: “To fight!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo9hhj1sp9
He dashed at them, striking them both at the same time. He grabbed Vegeta from his face and slammed him into the ground. He then turned around and elbowed Raditz in his eye, followed by a knee to his nose. Raditz held his nose in pain as it leaked blood. Kakarot punched a hole through Raditz's gut. He spit blood, holding onto his brother's arm.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1fEQIFPno
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHdcU9gP6I
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A3brafGEZ
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaGvt7mm3K
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MUSDwSfu9
The prince launched a fierce attack. Kakarot deflected it with his bare hands. He rushed to Vegeta, ramming into him with a headbutt. He kicked him away and shot a blast to follow up. Vegeta came crashing down, struggling to stand. Kakarot dropped his knee into his spine.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7iJfM8Vq8
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU01hWdss5
Kakarot grabbed him from his hair and slammed his face on the ground repeatedly. The pain in his wounds diminished as his strength grew. He got off the prince and turned him around to face him.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfWcIssbCA
Vegeta: “You don't… want to do this, Kakarot.. I didn't want to tell you… but we've discovered these magical orbs known as the dragon balls… I have one in my possession.. The plan was to use them to make me immortal, but we can restore your family instead, you won't be able to do this without me!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPjbDuWuhJ
Kakarot: “You still think this is about my family? Or even your betrayal? I've spent my entire life, devoting myself to other people. I spent my childhood wanting to be accepted and a portion of my early adulthood fighting a war to live a peaceful life with a woman. I dedicated the rest to a family and eventually to you guys. I thought this was all for me, but it was always for everyone but ME. But now, this isn't about the saiyans, this isn't about my family, or even about your betrayal, this is about me! There's nothing left to distract me from my real destiny and I've never felt more satisfied! So go to hell, Vegeta.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATAfgRm821
Vegeta: “Wait!”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhVGWXSJ5J
Kakarot finished Vegeta with a blast, leaving his corpse to rot. He looked up at the sky, showering in the rain. He smiled brighter than he ever had. The universe's greatest warrior had been born.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPrH39N58b
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9W7eHMK69
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2efCXEddu
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTomkJpA1uC
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0azj9eF1R
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”

Shenron: “As you wish."
