Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanWs6Z4b3d
Bardock: “Working under you gave me the opportunity to be the warrior I craved to be, I can admit that, but I think I speak for every saiyan when I say we're tired of being under your watch. We were born to be free and fight for our pleasure! Not for your convenience! This ends now! Frieza!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGziVjnflqm
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7Q1mBFRHE
Frieza: “No, no. He went through all the trouble of fighting off my soldiers and confronting me directly. I cannot explain why but I feel like I owe him this last duel. Perhaps then this monkey will realize his pathetic place in this universe when he draws his last breaths.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Z1wta62V
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fNa6yyaQj
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5jErSzJMj
The saiyan warrior launched a fist full of fury and pride. The mighty emperor redirected his punch with a palm strike to his arm. Bardock turned right back around and rushed Frieza with a combination of fierce and rapid punches and kicks. Frieza had no trouble evading and blocking each strike. A smirk was firmly printed on his face, showing the saiyan who was truly in control. Bardock jumped back and quickly shot a ki blast at the tyrant. Frieza stopped the blast with his bare hand. The explosion was a mere calculated distraction from the proud warrior. The smoke hid Bardock's location, giving him the chance to deliver a full power kick to Frieza's liver, followed by a punch, charged with ki, to his face. The blows sent Frieza back a few feet. His smirk was wiped from his face, shifting into an irritated frown.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAsT1QTtV3
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrAxG4m1S3
The emperor made his move, striking Bardock's rib with his pinky finger at a blinding speed. The saiyan spit blood and lost his balance. Frieza swung his tail, slamming it into his face, knocking more blood out. He struck him a few more times before piercing his leg with a small beam he shot from his finger. Blood gushed out from the wounded warrior's leg. He yelled in agony and held his injured area. The sadistic emperor went for another shot at the saiyan's shoulder this time.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZoNuUZKCw
Frieza: “It's a shame knowing you're the last one standing from your side of this war. The prince is under my control and the remaining saiyans are nothing to worry about. The saiyan race has fallen!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMB6I4Rczg
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAFJLbMA01
Bardock: “I guess I was right to think ahead hehe. You're wrong! The saiyan race will never truly fall! You may have conquered all of our remaining warriors, but there's one more! Kakarot! Remember that name! Frieza!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hifKXt1oZ
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR1z3Vt9aD
Bardock accepted his fate, but he refused to die in such an insulting manner and let out one final burst of energy from his palm. Frieza raised his finger, generating a massive ball of energy that resembled a sun.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXoV746H0q
Frieza: “My original intentions were to wipe out all of you monkeys with this war so I could salvage this planet for my own, but perhaps it's best that I make sure no trace of your once thriving society remains.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkyZeI4lJ0
He lowered his finger, tossing the sphere at Bardock's direction. The attack completely disintegrated Bardock's final stand. With no power left to fight back, the last soldier of the saiyan resistance succumbed to his inevitable fate.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyuWkIi6AR
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYgyS4r5vm
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKxxA20e79
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxFFHRixXD
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW1YjYUDAs
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrG3K0OyCk
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKtrSB9OyU
Commander Red: “How dare you pretend you have a moral high ground! You and I both know you loved every moment out there! You live for this…Kakarot!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YJ8p5idrl
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T6Y6vs7My
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0OTm3DS8M
The saiyan chopped the Commander in half with his bare hand. He crashed through the roof of the building they stood in and flew off.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdhw3EbOnV
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQeSGZT61Q
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfCCr3e2m2
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQaLyZX5G9
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHa5QITM5u
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEqHlw4v3g
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZSADKgksF
Kakarot: “My ear piece was damaged during battle. The martial artists from before stepped in but I finally settled the score with them. No one will ever hurt us again.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2NsB6SOnJ
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ACQufDzm
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgnBiqobsv
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrdFjY0Jsn
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxaf1Fo95x
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBL7V1rC3y
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8frldWNNg
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJkRGkmqMa
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwFGwWTHRl
Kakarot: “I have no interest in leading these people, they can do whatever they want as far as I care, just as long as we're left unbothered. We should start by thinking about our future.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso0lnlvI7r
For months, the war between Kakarot and the earth's alliance had dragged on, many fell victim to Kakarot's might before the combined forces of the government and even the red ribbon army had fallen, finally ending the conflict. The best martial artists on the planet had their own turmoil with the saiyan but they unfortunately faced the same fate as the rest of his opposition. Despite the terrors that took place, a period of tranquility was achieved at last. A peace that would last for a few years to come.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydUw0YtivD
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3ai9pVTGD
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPnyxvnD4o
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaubiE9I3mg
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OARXb1zJc
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpdroXzdHs
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkAn0zDmyh
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08i4YxmSFa
Kakarot: “I haven't even begun to comprehend what lies beyond our planet, what goes on outside our universe was never really of my concern.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJuWozkx9z
Bulma: “Well, I've studied quantum mechanics as much as I've studied engineering and there's theories suggesting the possibility of a multiverse. An infinite set of parallel worlds like our own but with minor or sometimes major differences.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDk4dW1nLu
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJaHug9njj
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3yaR4yjGo
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHginPK09iD
Bulma: “That explains a lot. This isn't just any vehicle though, once I get it figured out, this baby will be able to take us across dimensions! Look, I know we will never be able to undo the damage we caused, I've accepted it was for the greater good, but with this, we could go to other worlds where we exist and prevent this disaster! We can work together and create harmony so they don't have to live with our guilt!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cNpH44h89
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfjXCb9ejR
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUEnTaKXm7
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURYfKwKaKL
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu8ZHCrb3g
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAqlhFBxf8
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lh8BXiFDz
Bulma: “You know how that boy is, he said he was going to pick some things up from the city, but I'm almost certain he's out in the woods again.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYSbaQkjLq
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt6aJJca4T
Beet: “Haaa!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFLRAqWrAs
Beet kicked at the beast that stood before him, knocking one of its teeth out. The dinosaur remained determined and swung its massive tail at the child who just barely reacted in time to evade it. The dinosaur charged at him, chomping it's jaws at Beet. The boy struggled to escape every bite.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpEFDpHROq
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC7wIeSDlc
Beet was whacked by the creature's tail, knocking him over. The dinosaur opened its jaw revealing its terrifying teeth. Beet closed his eyes shut and covered his face, preparing for the worst. The dinosaur bit down, but to his surprise, there was nothing there.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06hrauEsD2
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKq0ZRcCi1
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuXNCdn4GL
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gXU4m68Di
Kakarot: “You're focused on the wrong objective. You can strike its head as many times as you want and it still has the chance to get up again. But-”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAyV1w4oAD
Kakarot snatched the dinosaur's tail and tore it off in the blink of an eye. A big smile took over his face, overcoming his usual serious demeanor. His smile quickly faded as he saw the blood that leaked from the tail.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw46evoYLNv
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviSDfcsk59
A memory of the bloodshed from the war that had taken place crossed through his mind. He took a deep breath for a moment. The dinosaur fled from the scene in fear. Beet darted after it. Kakarot snapped out of his trance.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwJG0dfrH5
Kakarot: “Enough”!
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueDw96IivZ
Beet: “Huh?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8VPRJFndf
Kakarot: “I already got us a boar for dinner, there's no need to kill an opponent that can't fight anymore. It's broken beyond repair, don't carry the burden of being the one who took its life.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sGg8LLbo5
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXwZir7oGb
Kakarot: “Everything we do is for survival. If we need to eat then we'll kill, if we need to defend ourselves then we'll kill. But that thing had nothing left to fight with. There's no reason to finish it off.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKON8LgL3Tt
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGciZSb424
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexpNIf4nIX
Beet: “Right!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBifoEScoPb
The family sat outside around a bonfire. The young Beet was tuckered out from his big day, he rested his head on his mother's lap, giving in to his fatigue. She caressed his soft hair and smiled. Kakarot kept his head low, pondering away at some troublesome thoughts. He caught a glimpse of Bulma staring and immediately looked away, hoping she wouldn't notice.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QEjxTNgbZ
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPUcisDDmd
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3Yo3xssBq
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6N9dk3u71
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgvfudPH0f
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQRYs4ouOz
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6kqaguTZ9
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOru8HUcnq
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1ZNGBEaP5
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnHZ2KR91b
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0ZXnOnru1
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtQWWLVGYI
Bulma: “Yeah, you weren't exactly a scholar per se, haha! Cramming in those study sessions must be just as new for you as it is for him.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXDQuA0g9f
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbzieW4fcF

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjCAwrVKy4
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6YTrvzrX1

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVEv5ZEeKp
“Only a fool would continue this struggle, if we surrender to their commands, at least our people will get to live another day. I'm sorry, Colonel, call off our men.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeJAxhH3R8
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LFz1dNlXi
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU40NB5lBF
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmPc64LNvy
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7k9u5fKKN
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ7d6KhjMI
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgtPLN6fvT
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gEbL133hD
King Tuffle: “I have withdrawn my forces as you requested. We'll form an alliance like you desired and lend a hand in your fight. As long as you keep your side of the deal and let us be after it's all done.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWTom1nEkF
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanS3lzT7tI
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaKvOBglUi
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9P2aqqPs7
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CcKX3D48V
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Azn0t0PAo
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOkksbRlAD
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdqMzvS2K0
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kK5b2JQKM
Bulma chuckled.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvoB5uoryf
Bulma: “Well, as long as we get this baby done, do as you please! You know, I'm surprised you went along with this after all.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxjDHkOtzz
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrv8xaghwq
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XGG43b1dr
Beet: “Momm!!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys3oeZYbnH
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zm2O9c6I9
The busy mechanic rushed to her son's needs. Kakaort returned to his work but was almost immediately interrupted by a shout coming from outside.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cKXMTFV3K
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzDSVS4VOG
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmmfOCAyTx
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCtroukceY
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPKBnovVov
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UjH0s9tge
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u829OA6Ga
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhTMiOQuCN
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWdDLRMyr8
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItnDO8CyvI
Kakarot: “You're playing a risky game coming here and demanding to see me all of a sudden. I don't care what you're here for, leave my planet or I'll make you!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz5sThXyNn
Raditz: “So, the planet does belong to you after all. That's good to hear. This will be a perfect base to rebuild the saiyan empire hehe.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkt2wlRJfD
Kakarot: “Enough!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnmVMco4Oa
Kakarot flung himself at the unsuspecting saiyan. Raditz noticed at the last second but still managed to evade the frustrated warrior's attacks with ease.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEdJHNABpl
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM3lk908yN
Kakarot threw a fierce punch which Raditz evaded at blinding speed. His movement played tricks on the saiyan's eyes, leaving behind only an after image with the real Raditz having already got a hold of Kakarot's blind spot. He smacked him away with a mighty backhand.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQMC1IwYe2
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI1Qai58hT
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39WeEIvR2o
Beet: “Sir!!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmRnlgQKFS
Beet rushed to his father's aid, throwing a kick at his uncle. Raditz flicked the child away with a strike from his tail. Beet crashed to the floor, hanging onto his consciousness.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvVcRmfqG2
Bulma: “Beet!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFvWPT92u3
Raditz: “The boy will be fine, don't worry about him. That look on your face, Kakarot, it's almost as though you've never tasted absolute defeat like this hehe.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlaZAdLFsk
Kakarot's breaths were heavy, his body was petrified from fear. The feeling was instantly overwhelmed by a sudden rush of adrenaline. Before he knew it, his body stood, almost on its own. He rushed his brother once more, his blows were suddenly sharper and swifter than before. Raditz found himself putting in effort to defend the assault. Raditz blocked a kick with his forearm only to have it be immediately followed up by an elbow to his face. With only seconds to react, he stopped the attack with his palm, just barely avoiding contact. His eye twitched in irritation.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5VhSoqQQL
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEZ622OWb5
He drove his knee straight into Kakarot's stomach, ending his sudden burst instantly. Kakarot collapsed to the ground, his body refused to answer his demands, seemingly paralyzed. He gasped for air, struggling to speak. Raditz raised his hand, reaching towards the defeated man. Bulma yelled at him to stop as Kakarot flinched, accepting his fate. There was a sudden pause from Raditz. Kakarot opened his eyes again, only to see his older brother reaching out to lend a hand. Surprised, Kakarot used his remaining strength to force his hand up and got a grip of Raditz's hand. Raditz helped him to his feet before letting him go.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HJVycnYY3
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wbb5wBksq
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEVp0EgVgU
Raditz: “That's right, I'm your older brother, Kakarot. It may seem a little jarring, but you're from another planet, one that has long since ceased to be. You were presumably sent here to conquer this world, although I never understood why planet 4032-877 of all places.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmdEri8223
Kakarot: “I always knew I was different. The people of this world made that clear to me, but I never imagined I'd be from a completely different world.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ890yFUdG0
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHe3bzPwZg
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeMKZV0lv4
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zdDEHLoTs
Raditz: “Right, I should cut to the chase. My name is Raditz, sorry for not properly introducing myself earlier. I'm not here for some late family reunion, I'm here to recruit you, little brother.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecA186llFE
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCea5InuZkh
Raditz: “Our Race has long since been reduced to mere numbers you can count with your fingers alone. It wasn't by no natural causes however, our kind were victims of a genocide from a tyrant known as Frieza. He enslaved our people and forced us to do his bidding for decades until we finally stood up to him and waged war against him and his forces. As fate may have had it, our forces soon fell, the rebellion failed and frieza believed it to be easier to simply wipe us out for good. There were some of us however who didn't partake in the war, we were off on duty, unaware of all that went down. For years, Frieza deceived the remaining saiyans into believing a meteor had struck down our planet. We recently found out it was all a lie invented by Frieza to keep the remaining of us loyal to him. What he doesn't know is that neither of us ever took pride in serving him! But this isn't just about fighting for our freedom anymore, this is for our proud race that he dared to look down upon! Join me, brother, let us retake our honor by slaying this bastard!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2sllQ5359
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4fsG1j9Z3
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA4KFjcA7F
Kakarot: “He took everything from you, my life is here, on earth. Besides, I've fought a war all my life, I don't want to jump into another one after we just reached a peaceful era.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9FM4rMHW3
Raditz: “I see.. Well, then let me spend the night with you brother, just for us to connect a bit before I return to my comrades.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3aEIQ3Smo
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG8W1wzp9H
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvwdTCIqh6
Raditz: “You have my word.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WProTFTPe
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9G0HqsLys
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszt1itZDrI
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71YjtI1UMX
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jCfUNWidL
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzYUqdw2K5
Raditz: “You worry too much, child, you're a saiyan like the both of us, a bit of a runt I'll say, but a saiyan nonetheless. You'll grow to be much stronger when you're older. Doesn't that excite you?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHGaHn08ie
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv0u5uWbCr
Raditz chuckled.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Yq1dAQc0
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw91dTUyvJ
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUJceZj00y
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49GuxwPg9p
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1jC6ElB2X
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3fe0ezWfS
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N14g8Fmp5
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgDBErWSF6
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cYHdgHpUR
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx9tPcuRuD
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wGlABxTr2
Bulma: “Honey, I think I'm gonna sleep early. Don't stay up too late, okay? I still don't really trust him, it's best we get the day over with soon.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzWVbPpEKp
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADhbDN5Ryj
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpozaswIUl
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVFnNkEwLk
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2NdTkKhzY
Raditz took a deep breath.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBlD5zMnk3
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFjwqtU1pm
Kakarot did not question his sibling and partook in his request. The two left the house and walked out into the night sky. Raditz levitated high into the air and Kakarot followed. Raditz came to a sudden halt. He faced the night sky, illuminated by the countless stars, miles away.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD20HrtxfN
Raditz: “Take a look, brother, the universe is infinite. Why would you limit yourself to such a pointless, finite world like this one? Don't lie to yourself, this mundane life doesn't suit our kind. We're warriors! Born to fight!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiYVWwDGro
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwcpKK047y
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7UCngXSiA
Kakarot: “I've never faced much of a threat on this planet, I've never truly been pushed to my limit. Earlier, when you humiliated me in our battle, I felt something. A rush, one like no other. I was going to die and yet I felt more alive than ever. What was that?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNdkHZszWH
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9RB81ZdfX
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzxQB2Uwcx
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84qqcEjExz
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9Ns7N8lwc
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaZG6dHaIK
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSGZp8cvc4
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSzIPcX2G7
Raditz: “Vaguely, I've heard about him before though. He was a powerful leader of an elite squad. Rumor has it, he was the one who led the rebellion against Frieza. Our father was a great man, Kakarot. Don't you want to take after his footsteps?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3gT90kGjm
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pl0LrqLWZ
Raditz: “I leave tomorrow, I have an extra pod you can take so you can tag along. I can take you to meet the prince so you can join our alliance.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmvw02RyQp
Kakarot: “The prince?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP21ZW7yze
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzKnbt2I6R
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ75KFQHVK
Bulma: “I don't understand! We're finally at peace and now you want to run off into another fight that isn't even your own?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMeVmNHgUu
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVOGbzBp8u
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy24n1kL2lj
Kakarot: “….”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfWl9Z7PpH
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxi1jXaXvF
Kakarot: “For most of my life, I was neglected by the earthlings, I was different and there was no one to guide me through this unwavering sense of inferiority! They're like me, I want to meet them, I need to. Besides, I can't shake this feeling that this is my calling.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCiXqPtC6C
Bulma hesitated to reply.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulYTrgoFYq
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qxE3Dd28G
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEViP9ktIK
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSB67sGGqY
Beet: “Sir!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxex0VFEcc
He came face to face with his father.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmb4Pg3bIf
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rGlb1kbW2
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFAx1QdZma
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQQj2TtZEb
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJstqe1ZuK
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK6ErkrfxD
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTQo6hajGr
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9Q2Sa9PQ0
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHC3FgWLdS
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCLyp6qksS
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo6nQ7IQpQ
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3QKH1fxsG
Raditz: “Well, aside from me, the other two saiyans are Nappa and the prince, Vegeta. Unlike us, they're top level elites with the prince being the absolute most powerful.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhByZ4FcT3L
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZdUsis5kQ
Raditz: “They are, especially the prince. He's the strongest saiyan in history! They're both proud warriors, like me of course. You're on your way to becoming one of us too.’
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhPchGCjzI
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf2iMjKM0b
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDJxysp7vp
In the span of a few hours, the pods arrived at their destination. The Prince and his comrade awaited their arrival, preparing to greet them once they landed. The pods crashed into the designated area, revealing the two saiyans aboard them. Kakarot fought to keep his composure, but couldn't help but smile after gazing upon the mighty warriors that stood before him. He approached them, taking a knee after reaching them.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ739NWMfwNZ
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpFIPYqwE7
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi07ut1UsxA
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru3QXqOV96
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ln7oDoAlF
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzIwfvwtpo
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesNDDNZPee
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc82mekAZ5h
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmYC4nNUOE
The prince hesitated.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH92u1ZspO
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70fOWU5AC6
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql0Dj7pjl2
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LH2TfBjB0
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd4TAYtd2R
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8g4I0Lj9b
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKxgBxox3l
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9me5sGKEDy
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNcrm2a1Gv
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQgNSutKdB
Kakarot examined his surroundings, quickly taking notice of the highly guarded area. The soldiers that surrounded them didn't appear to be saiyans, but they wore similar apparel. Aside from small animals and critters, no other signs of life were present. The vast land ahead of them was empty, only them and the soldiers occupied the space. They entered a large, elegant building with huge pieces of glass art, depicting an unknown civilization of people. They came to a halt in front of a throne with various seats. The prince took his rightful place on the throne as Nappa sat on a seat right beside, displaying a sense of authority. Kakarot and Raditz took a seat on a more mundane section, next to the Colonel in command of the Tuffle army.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf38B1IIVr
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xjADgLOt0
Kakarot: “Yes, he told me about Frieza and what he did to our people. I've agreed to help you crush him on behalf of the saiyan race!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQfNVl5Uva
Vegeta: “You've got spirit, but it's going to take more than that to defeat this scum. You see, aside from his troublesome power, Frieza also wields a powerful army. In order to get to Frieza, we have to get rid of that pesky army first. We've made an alliance with the Tuffle race, he who sits beside you is the commander of their military in fact. Having them on our side is a big help, but we can't be too careless, we need to recruit more allies. Until we get the remaining forces, we must lay low.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nxa7KFZrS
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfns8D7UVM4
Vegeta: “We've been eyeing a planet known as Tatsu. We hear their kind are great for combat, and legend has it, amongst them is one they call Amaterazu. If he's as strong as they say, forcing him to submit to our leadership could be just the advantage we're looking for!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8HbBz1Eqp
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgBo5X2aYl
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEjpkB5GHL
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycMIeNGFOW
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYJx1J8BoE
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgB1TkImpL
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRezJch7dSl
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybgJ1ptroO
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV6MbfovZD
Vegeta: “I'm having doubts about your little brother, you sure his mind hasn't been corrupted from being away from his people for that long?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViQtqknivc
Raditz: “I'll admit, he's a bit of an oddball, but you know me, Prince, I can get him on board, just trust me. Take him to planet Tatsu with us, I'll work my magic.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskFuYzDmh3
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep2kgt7Qyz
The pair made their way back to the room where the rest waited in silence. Vegeta took his place on his throne, continuing his speech.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexBjOR1wE4
Vegeta: “Ahem, like I said, we'll be paying the Tatsu race a visit. If luck is on our side, they'll be just what we need to turn the tide on Frieza. Until further notice, we can't make too much commotion though, if Frieza finds out we're plotting against him, it's over. Now then, prepare your pods, we're leaving at noon. You're all dismissed.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvyvHnkptM
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp0b11BnEL
Kakarot: “Raditz, are we really going to kill all of them if they don't comply? What good would such an act even do for us?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclHyxBGytO
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJUt6K0HPl
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL3Denrmag
Raditz: “Listen, if we let them live, there exists the possibility of Frieza getting to them and getting information we'd rather he didn't have. We can't take that risk. It's just another sacrifice in the name of the greater good is it not? It's not their fault we chose them, but it's not our's that Frieza enslaved us after killing our kind. In order to win some, others must lose some. That is war, for someone that has lived in one all their lives, I'm sure you can understand it.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjfPAI7YGj
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKclK5iT4F
Raditz: “Now quit your whining, this is going to be your official, first real fight. Aren't you excited? Don't you want to feel that thrill again?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBKEOsR4sv
Kakarot's mood took a sudden turn. A smirk fueled by excitement lit up on his face. He clenched his fists as if the mere thought of battle pumped up his adrenaline.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcjAUReljo
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoiwHRAgPr
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPJY3H2YWY
Kakarot: “Please, brother, let me have another go, even if it's just for a few minutes! I want to fight! I want to be a great saiyan like you, and like Prince Vegeta.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM26et6lJE
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6MgggmTUp
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikdjIMZuqs
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXR3UDPM9i
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy4S7AE50y
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8eVOyKQiY
Raditz: “Hehe, what can I say? Can't help being strong! Hmm… there might be a way for you to hold your own y’know?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuWab242I3
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVIxmck3sj
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPvCmayqni
Raditz raised his hands just above his shoulders. His ki surged into both of his palms, forming purple shaded ki spheres. He released them, shooting forward dual ki waves. He detonated them before they made contact with their surroundings.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeR5c1VQEA
Kakarot: “What was that?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrhu0WDzB7
Raditz: “That's my special move, I call it the Double Sunday. By focusing your energy into a single point, you can let out an attack with more power than your average strike. It took me a while to master this technique, but with practice, you should be able to come up with one of your own.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxamUIUp08j
Kakarot: “You never cease to amaze me. Tell me, brother, if Vegeta is the prince, then where do you and Nappa fall in the hierarchy as the last of our kind?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S7hbPKomC
Raditz: “Nappa has always been Vegeta's loyal goon. That bootlicking bastard serves as his right hand man, unfortunately, he has the power to back it up too. I, however, am working my way up to a similar position. The prince has been considering giving me a permanent role in the royal force.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszQJH1dA5q
Kakarot: “That sounds great. I hope it all works out for you. I, on the other hand, think Imma settle down with my family for good after all of this is over.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH6LzbT4wZ
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAuwMLtsFb
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyqe8poy7q
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xBgFGnZDi
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbaBkOkfPA
Raditz: “You're thinking too much about it. Stick around for longer, in time you'll find that all you seek is here with us.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkyDDvehIj
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06kPHs0DpJ
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr0b65uwJa
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLgIEIU26t
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrhGCQjoOg
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUnUFg0rH4
Vegeta: “The Colonel has set the coordinates in our pods. The Tuffles also placed some new upgrades to these sweet rides, we'll get there in no time so be ready.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIs1pRDHuo
They all nodded in approval to the prince before entering their pods. The ships took off at blinding speeds. Kakarot observed the vast, outer space in astonishment. The wonders of the countless worlds beyond his own planet never ceased to amaze him. Before long, the pods crashed into planet Tatsu. The squad left their vehicles to confront their next targets, but to their surprise, the landscape was deserted. Not even the slightest sound of a small gush of wind was audible.

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”

Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”

Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6eVEmvULY
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpca6syC0qz
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMKxFPTeH0
Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxWdp1qzJ8
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq983ISfMCF
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFy715Is3O
The eyelids of the creatures twitched. Their joints cracked and snapped out of place before restoring themselves back into their original form. They all turned to each other.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNh68YA5kr
“Your foot is on my tail!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVexyKDmhDb
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRTYYSBGCs
The two creatures swung at each other. Their fight created a chain of events, causing more needless fights amongst each other, before long, they were all partaking in a huge brawl.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnQBWbmS3i
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQIT9iikCr
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKiKqAvOGk
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScS7cSKLYL
Vegeta: “This is your chance to feel the true thrill of battle. Join us, we're about to show these fools a real rumble! Let em have it, boys!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4ZUARsv31
The mighty prince smashed into a group of the battling creatures, blowing them away with the sheer force of the impact. Nappa lifted his fingers, generating an explosion that took out another bunch. A free for all battle royale commenced. Kakarot hesitated, he watched his comrades partake in the fight, feeling a sense of guilt for their actions. Raditz approached his brother.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOO8MRztFJ
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDivcCMUYeN
Kakarot: “Could Frieza even hope to interrogate these guys? What information could he even get from people as barbaric and dumb as them? We have no reason to kill them anymore.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5wAaTBj0i
Raditz: “They're lowlives that serve no purpose to us or even themselves. If we don't do it, they'll just kill each other regardless. Stop listening to those stupid ideals the earthlings instilled upon you. Your mind is telling you no, but what does your heart say?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUNjfi76Ss
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM6vx0eoWJ
Raditz: “You're neglecting your own desires for something so meaningless. Go! Be saiyan! Show your pride! Us saiyans will conquer together, let them know that! I'll catch up with you later.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkFemLeq2a
Raditz rushed to the battlefield in hopes to get in on the fun. Kakarot observed his fellow saiyans, watching how they fought. The prince made light work of the toughest of creatures, mercilessly ending their lives with single and swift blows. A smile overtook his face with every victory. Kakarot clenched his fists, fighting his urge. The unsuspecting saiyan was caught by a sudden blow to his face. The punch sent him to the floor. He snapped into action and returned the attack, knocking his opponent into another Tatsu, stumbling them both over. They caught their balance and set their targets on Kakarot. Without hesitation, they rushed the novice saiyan simultaneously. Kakarot struggled to fend them off, taking blows left and right from both. One of the creatures punched his gut, staggering the saiyan. His arms fell loose. His blood began to pump again, faster than before. A rush of adrenaline took over his body. He used the opportunity to catch and hold the creature's arm down and countered him with a powerful headbutt. He followed it up with a ki blast that blew the creature into pieces. He dashed to the other enemy, striking the bottom of his jaw with the palm of his hand and used the opening punch a hole through his chest. He immediately set his sight on more nearby opponents as the options were seemingly endless. He jumped into a hoard of the violent species and fought every single one at once. He took multiple blows in the process but returned just as much. Guilt, regret, love, hate, anger, all sense of emotion had lost its meaning, all but one, the overwhelming sense of excitement. He took blows from different angles all at once, the damage didn't slow him down as he leapt into the air and shot a ki blast that created an explosion which blew away a chunk of the hoard. One of them jumped out from behind, preparing a devastating attack. His efforts were intercepted by Vegeta who chopped his arm off and kicked him away. Kakarot turned around, realizing the prince had just saved him from potential danger.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8fOjxzgqQ
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7ZiE9o6WX
Kakarot smiled.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjEBbwC18C
Kakarot: “Understood!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRuA4ovHKT
The two leapt back into action, taking on the hoard, side by side. They fought together in a flawless sync, their fists complimented each other's style, fighting together as though they were one. The ground trembled once more, more violently than before. The Tatsu species halted their combat and began to flee.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHhv8Erj15
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzsz2InE73
A similar looking dragon humanoid emerged from underneath. He was noticeably larger than the rest. Flames burned throughout his body. His presence alone disintegrated bystanders. Sympathy was a foreign concept to the beast as it had no trouble smashing through its own people as it approached the saiyans.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPncZwneGK9
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHrLyweHVg
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iYR2PvHr6
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDg92pCyTW
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA00wTd18w
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttOyv3qtRu
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQEWkWdvJB
Kakarot jumped into action, pouring down a flurry of various strikes. Modora blocked each attack, delivering a powerful backhand in return. He knocked blood out of the saiyan and shattered some of his armor. Modora grabbed the staggered warrior and smashed him to the ground. His grip remained firm as he continued to slam Kakarot against their surroundings a few more times. His scorching hot skin left its marks on the saiyan.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Eh90Fa5X
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoutKMPxpX
Modora tossed him into the air, he engulfed his fist in flames and slammed it into Kakarot. The powerful blow shot the saiyan through the sky and straight to the ground. He stood up, visibly injured. His breaths were heavy, but to everyone's surprise, his smile remained as strong as ever. He charged back into the battle with no doubts or regrets. He rushed the dragon beast once more, this time, sneaking in a precise jab to the beast's forehead. He continued the assault with a kick to his neck and ki blast to follow it up. Modora slid back a few feet. He was in disbelief with the sudden shift in power. Kakarot's body screamed in pain, but the mighty warrior could only hear the loud thumping of his heart, fueling the adrenaline that gave him life.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0sgb7vI89
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjhraAnhgL
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImlvIOcNQP
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7xxMU7Xrd
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKyaCmQWst
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98si5uttqc
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pDZ0PeBeu
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEJsNyny1x
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAMZWzeP5b
Modora levitated towards the sky. He raised his palm into the air, where it engulfed itself within a ball of fire only slightly larger than his hand. Kakarot remained on foot. He raised his hands, aiming them at his enemy. They gradually developed a purple glow, sparks of overflowing energy emitted around the glow. He lowered his hands and clenched his fists before raising them in the same position again, letting out two purple beams of energy that circled around one another before merging into one larger beam.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HgQJfgsgI
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevEw1id45s
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcOhdV9kLG
The attacks crashed together, Modora's flames were put out almost instantaneously. The mighty beast suffered heavy damage from the blast and collapsed to the ground, steaming from the heat of the blast. Kakarot's eager demeanor faded. Raditz approached his brother in both shock and concern.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWXsstzqR9

Kakarot: “I don't know what happened back there, but it was exhilarating! I never knew this is what it meant to be a saiyan.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmR7mn1pGQ
Kakarot raised his arms in the air, he savored his victory for winning had never felt so rewarding. He shouted at the top of his lungs.

Kakarot: “Huh?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdIF1y8W3B
Modora ascended from the ground with no warning, landing a clean slash with his claws on Kakarot's chest. Blood gushed out as Kakarot collapsed from the off guard attack.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaD6LBpkYa
Raditz: “Why you!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjlbnjhW0C
In a mere instant, the angry warrior smited the weakened beast with a single blast, leaving nothing behind. He rushed to attend to his injured sibling. Raditz held him up.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV09OlWMj0
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”

Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ijDfmTka9
“This doesn't make sense, he could have easily taken a full power blow from that thing head on. Why did a simple attack like that nearly do him in? Hmm..I'll have to look further into this later.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoGhmIwFFO
The ship took off, heading straight back to planet Plant. Kakarot was immediately rushed into a room with medics as soon as the ship landed.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYN0t5YJWZ
Doctor: “There's not much left to do here other than a few stitches and basic medication. Are you sure his injuries were as severe as you claimed?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4NxVxZLPL
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtExUNrtGQ
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxvr0RYaEj

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoSujdNcYE
Doctor: “I will sir.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIPpPwormQ
Raditz left the room. Kakarot rested for about an hour before regaining full consciousness. He stretched out his arms. His joints felt relaxed and more flexible than ever. It was almost as though his injuries had never happened.

Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98j38GjB86

Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoKxqsLqME
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzcFv5wT12
Raditz: “Cool it down a little. This is going to be a long process, we can't just rush into another planet without knowing if there's anything of value.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWHbhlScJE
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDnYVh5fuO
Raditz: “I've had that idea too, Frieza would never suspect we'd be hiding out in such a low value planet. To most, your world is useless, but to us, it has all the resources we need and more! But why the sudden change of heart?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovVEXgAraI
Kakarot: “If I'm being honest, it's not really about the saiyan empire for me. When this is all over, I'll head back and leave this behind. But if I bring it back home with me, bring you guys home with me, the thrill won't have to end with the war against Frieza. I don't want to leave you guys, but I don't want to leave my family either.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa3WrbhfQS
Raditz: “If all goes well then you might just get what you're asking for. I still don't understand this obsession you have with your wife and boy though.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3leqFOEwbc
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZWhRNGvTW
Raditz: “Of course not! Saiyans are born for so much more than that, we only mate to breed more warriors. I couldn't care less what happens after that.”

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dFoPYR9Q5

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWSGz57B9U
The boy struggled to contain his excitement and followed his father. Kakarot picked him up and swooped into the air, flying to meet up with the other saiyans. They flew past some damaged cities with frightened citizens running around.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgitlW8jWt
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnYsHgtkYy

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnQtvQ2flS
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCfg9XTxoH

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC58zxrJbMX
The boy simply nodded and watched, incapable of shaking the uneasy feeling from the sight. Kakarot descended near a large space ship, surrounded by soldiers. Beet held on tightly to his father as they walked past the intimidating army. They reached the entrance to the ship.

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyJ4x0bo1i

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqCf49f0XE

Vegeta: “I don't care, do it again.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIjLMZWcAQ
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRY1FffAPI
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdz8Ijsdmm
Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWtN2rKivT
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYONOljkJuy
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdRt6Gt8FG
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCaLPCt3UU
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4xcfv1jTi
Raditz: “I will..”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ4FvjPgvB
Raditz turned to his comrades.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbTCgfEmGz
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLK6rNskLp
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3LS3yRdBL
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5CCBERV6v
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeQEfOXadS
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaK54dncx7
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje307ahTCx
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUnJkJva2o
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3lNnsKme9
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kFMj39wVv
Beet: “Okay!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL4U1Jn1CA
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwHGKSADM7
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyBSh2RgE6
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQezJg5jpCw
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSalSt636SL
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wOvKMXwNG
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSdI0OPdrG
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvddbED6wX
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51tc8aivdO
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb36SXM5sAj
Raditz’s scouter went haywire. A powerful wave of energy burst out of the young hybrid's mouth. Raditz's eyes widened before jumping out of the way at the last second. He slowly looked up, immediately noticing the damaged wall from the blast.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEiySLCWwB
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbgwTnZceH
He gradually lifted himself up, still shaky from what he had just witnessed. Beet fell to his knees, his body could no longer take the punishment.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg9QXH6i43
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHfaTVEyja
Beet: “O-Okay.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TNrLDGB3k
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTVtPX65zm
Kakarot: “What happened?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcZoUVT10S
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiOtqKdV7a
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0BizH2ACC
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sXwPfFUTo
Kakarot: “Fine.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhX6S3U9dV
He stared at his brother for a mere moment before taking off with his son. Raditz made his way to Vegeta's personal room inside the ship. His thoughts ate away at him.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s5rYidCkU
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsizmD4jpr
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hwYF0k3J1
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6laVnxvhcM
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUmevYhC3B
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE64SipD3DM
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4k8I4wCzf
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEP3etZPEe
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDvCnmlAgI
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdLbA7IIi6
Vegeta: “The spot you seek is still open for anybody who proves their worth. With that being said, I have faith in you Raditz. I know better than to trust your word, but your actions speak louder, so swear your loyalty to me and I'll continue to keep you in mind as my ears and eyes.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCUwk4VJIE
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw4owmqc6D
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41msIWWOw0
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYIwv7SgIe
Vegeta: “On the contrary, it means he has both the potential of an earthling and a saiyan combined, and that's not even considering it's the boy of a low class like Kakarot.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPFffINUXi
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ze4P5pumu
Vegeta: “You're a sharp one, yes I did. If the rest found out they could breed warriors more powerful than myself, my role as the prince would be diminished. I'd be seen as a joke. I'll have to birth a son of my own to take my place before that. For now however, we won't have to worry about that, I've discouraged any desire to spawn new warriors. Frieza is our only priority. The only lingering issue is Kakarot's boy.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A0cvt51a7
Raditz: “You won't have to worry about him, sir, he can't use that strength at will. It will be a while before he learns to muster up that power on his own.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODQJNgZIFd
Vegeta: “I see, time is on our side for now, we can continue to focus on Frieza, until then, can't let the others know about the power hidden within the hybrid, I trust you'll make sure it stays that way.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVyXroBUbI
Raditz: “Understood.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zRrF80b9P
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZmDX0ot5o
Raditz departed from the room.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphZ7FTsnnK
“Haaaa”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKC6J6vn8F
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXgM9y81l7
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZYGEHt2Fc
Kakarot: “Right.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN1Rvbk7mp
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Tk4ab6O0
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWs93lHUeU
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdL7HWegfB
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaBbinE3Gz
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8YZ59Z2qB
Time would fly as the saiyans battled their way through different civilizations, recruiting while simultaneously ending many. Their conquests would take a short pause in between.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA6hj6kx0Y
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWes1DnHFe
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9rJaa56g8
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6xnstn9lY
Bulma: “The man of the house is gone for months with no warning and he's the one who gets to be upset. You stop by less and less every time, I don't even know why you still bother to come at this point since you're probably going to leave again this same night!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsQVr2F9E4
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pCQCu16Lm
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc6ozYtthu
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFM4YSOjla
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydbN8fUPtH
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfHnJW9aOm
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrERO1v0vZ
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDfDe07pmY
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtCDyPzK03
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CNdr8Rxey
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQlfaNmImR
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0LsXzCC7g
Beet smiled and hugged his father. The sun couldn't have set sooner as Kakarot stood near the door, preparing to leave. Beet slept peacefully, unaware of his father's absence in the room.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8ERkBMN32
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwD9sryeIA
Kakarot turned around.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUNa5feIqe
Bulma: “What happened to you? You're not the man I grew up with. Kakarot is a loving man that fought for peace. He was a man that protected and provided for his family, a loving husband and father. Whoever this us right now, I don't know you.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpR88auqCv
Kakarot: “I was everything you needed me to be because you gave me what no one else did, I never once stopped to consider who I wanted to be.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYSQb9PUqB
Bulma: “I only wanted to make you happy and to make you feel safe like you did to me on the day we met! You saved me from the red ribbon army after they tried to kidnap me for my inventions, you remember, right?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsmYpHSXAC
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr98YQ7k2VC
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FtfTP4HmN
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkFJ23D0wr
Bulma: “You know what's the worst part of this all? Everytime you leave, there's this look on your face, this-this thrill! It's been making me start to think that you actually like what you do out there.. But my greatest fear, is that maybe, you always have.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy87DWakC3V
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwLjFJTq86
He turned right back around and exited the place he once called his home, flying away into the distance. Bulma took a seat on the nearest chair and broke down into tears.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsCF0Kjbnu
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQXgePNrIA
Vegeta: “Alright boys! The time has finally arrived! We've gathered enough troops and have raised our own battle power significantly throughout the process. I can comfortably say we have a shot at destroying Frieza once and for all! Colonel!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzyTwms11X
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatDwVw7cw4
Vegeta: “Prepare the troops and run the plans by them again. Oh, and don't try any sort of rebellion against us this late into the party. I guarantee you we'll be the least of your problems if Frieza gets a hold of you.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy200EplIt
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AwU32FGcI
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FJMgLBxWQ
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tBG8Ii92C
Raditz: “Getting too excited for this one might cost you. Don't take Frieza so lightly. Remember the plan little brother, we'll see each other on the other side once it's all over!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiZlqhbt5I
Kakarot: “Right!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIktF9vyF9
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrymvQoxlV
Kakarot: “Yes?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUgGYZKEwA
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2XerCVNTL
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsa7TQnRho
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKAAQnOPZu
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxngj8uGQx
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd1M1cG4sS
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeur7ZigOjP
Vegeta: “Raditz, head to your separate pod and take your leave at once, we'll group up in the ship along with the others once the Colonel deems them ready.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAQbSZsfQe
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjcERhjzKw
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAjnKzBDJx
Raditz turned to his brother.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFto6e7eo3L
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOXMHCDAlH
Raditz: “Right..”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA9MGUwwCa
Raditz took off with his pod.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRWIsFYp7L
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwCNfCcEHe
“Let me take a look.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVumRj3SOd
Beep! Beep! Beep!
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMFrqkVvzb
“Oh, it's just one of those putrid saiyans. No need to worry, I'll go greet him myself. I just hope his hideous looks don't rub off on my beauty.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYnOa3b2cv
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGE2OvGXeE
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHySOVOna8
He bowed in respect.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qldpCy8Fj
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBrZf7svQz
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9pZZKMIk9
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKO3thaf6A
Raditz: “I understand, however, I must clarify that these are urgent matters for we've gathered a lot of profitable planets and slaves for him. We have tons of eager customers awaiting his approval. Please, inform the lord as soon as possible! You wouldn't want to make him upset by letting such a big opportunity slip by him.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYr19DMriK
Zarbon: “Hmph. I'll inform him at once. My only conditions are that you stay by my side at all times, I cannot risk you pulling anything sneaky, I know better than to trust YOUR kind.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiSje5Jf4f
Raditz: “As you wish.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy15dHAbdUI
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOLxp1gCAH
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZSsm51l8z
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplJrqfpOu5
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKujznHD198
Vegeta: “Okay, I'll run it all back at once so we're on the same page. Raditz will lure Frieza back to his base with his proposition.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFhktCIMcZ
Zarbon: “Take a seat over there. There's guards outside so don't even think of anything! I'll step out to let lord Frieza know about your request.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYB30Ns4O6
Zarbon took his leave.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKJFggE9WL
Vegeta: “Once he's got sight of Frieza's ship entering the atmosphere, he'll launch an artificial moon into the sky. That will be our sign to make our move. With this distance, the scouters can't track us but we can't track them either, so Raditz needs to be the one to alert us.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrmFJbmcGe
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut89BqfAhe
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnzZRNrzGW
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdVEPsVibb
Raditz chuckled.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksT7QAwO9g
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEynTmqb3MM
Vegeta: “We'll use the artificial moon to transform into great apes and hit Frieza with everything we've got! A surprise attack to finish him for good! Frieza never leaves without at least one of his right hand men, if we take him out, we get one of them too. Less opposition for us.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjTE4EiG0J
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsOllqNaK5
Beep! Beep! Beep!
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro7Afmc9Kz
Raditz: “He's here…”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuhejFqxDg
Vegeta: “Once we've wiped that ugly tyrant from this world, we'll send in the troops to help us destroy what's left. Frieza has too many loyal goons that would stand by him even after his demise. No one gets out of here alive!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMVDDDWYIV
Raditz took his stand and shot his artificial moon into the sky, smashing through the roof in the process. The commotion alerted everyone within the site.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGvmJUxe8o
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnj9ZoE14C
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88mczrz2IB
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0xTqbWLIe
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv90sQlug8f
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpg9CJ5G51
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48hDtKY7ay
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDKtdf5onL
The mighty trio shot forth their attack in union, obliterating Frieza's incoming ship, causing the remains to crash into the ground. They landed their ship and reverted to their base forms.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxwidhCypo
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxfFE5BZHH
Vegeta signaled for the others to follow his lead while the soldiers they had recruited went on to finish Frieza's army of henchmen. They approached Frieza's fallen ship. Vegeta lifted the remains.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKsb6Mo9Zv
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5ZY2hj44R
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeo8HUwQQd
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVOaJ3Tvoc
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LoBn9OdhV
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9GS67HUQO
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZugFAdvl1
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXnjl7sF9X
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D8ptkBZfZ
Raditz: “Damn it!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8lAVQOCDj
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9LXn66AKY
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPIpl7JphE
Raditz shot a small blast at the ground, creating a wall of blinding smoke. He lunged himself forward at Dodoria, smashing him through the building.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6JejqbHxv
Frieza: “I can't say I'm not impressed, I never expected a simian like you to be able to plan such a calculated rebellion. It's a shame things have once again gone south for you saiyans.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3eiCpK4Ls
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcJP4UlrNu
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1xVTZ6JXA
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnZZ5TDRie
Dodoria shot a blast of energy from his mouth. Raditz caught the beam and redirected it back to the sender. Dodoria was blasted away and crashed to the ground. Zarbon approached from behind, going for a surprise kick at Raditz. The saiyan warrior caught on just before the kick connected and blocked the attack. Zarbon was left wide open which Raditz took full advantage of.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFCTe8tSBw
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEtBO7jNen
A ball of purple energy burst from Raditz's hand, crashing into Zarbon. The impact sent him flying away. He recovered as quickly as he could and reunited with Dodoria.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2os3Tt0b4O

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C3qWH2szI
Dodoria: “What is it?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4Qafreiqx
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB91xXHZZtM
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3cIMyFUsU
Zarbon: “Perhaps Lord Frieza made the right move in eliminating their race, their ability to grow should not be overlooked. We have no choice! We have to fight together!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGMYXhU8Sj
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssfJBTcX2J
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdPhEBMVJE
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQydzKOp1Wx
The pair went forward with their assault. Raining down a barrage of various blows at Raditz. The saiyan warrior fended off every blow, but the overwhelming flurry left no opening for retaliation. He jumped out of their reach but they immediately tracked him with a united ki blast. He blocked the blast, taking no damage from it. He took a surprise kick from behind his head by Zarbon and suffered an immediate follow up punch by Dodoria.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq7PPo9mrb
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb0kwHB7us
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6zKm9UqxN

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc8rPvrL48
Dodoria: “Why you!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGVNhnhutB
Dodoria charged forward with Zarbon following only a few feet behind. Raditz broke a chunk from the hill and crushed it into dust with his hand. He smirked and threw the left over rubble from the rock into their eyes. The impact shattered their scouters and blinded them temporarily.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNY3Mbhwuo
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsv7XlJ3uL
The saiyan warrior struck Dodoria with a knee to his head. He followed up his kick with a blast that completely blew off his head, killing Jim immediately. Zarbon desperately rubbed his eyes, removing the irritation.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn0D3Mqm5C
Zarbon: “Damn it! It's really come to this hasn't it? Take a good look saiyan, this is the last thing you'll ever see!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenT4fqnRwG
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQEXXtDv23

Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5Kk553pRF

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLADrcsmKi
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2ZXDginhO
Vegeta charged his energy, the entire planet shook in fear of his power. The ground trembled and mountains split. Without further hesitation, Vegeta darted to Frieza, rushing him with various attacks. The tyrant struggled to fend off the attacks, coming to the realization that the prince's gloating was more than just talk.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAMINhlvWp
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEIN386ARx
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK8OWcWoaP
Frieza: “I don't need any more of your little demonstration. I'm aware now that if I commit to this fight I could come out on top perhaps, but the other monkeys would likely intervene and ruin it for me. There's no purpose in entertaining this any longer.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZckKcPoS7
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMMRyM8Zv7
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSotIQeDFiH
Vegeta: “Huh?”

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1ufuk3BXk
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYZlOFzHyD
Zarbon crashed his arm into Raditz. He pounded the struggling warrior, knocking blood out of him with each blow. Raditz retaliated with a kick to his face. He leaped into the air and scattered a barrage of ki blasts at his monstrous opponent. Zarbon quickly recovered from the attacks and charged forward, headbutting Raditz in his face. Raditz returned the attack with a headbutt of his own. Their fighting took a short pause.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXBoyItk3l
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5L76MgdfN
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7XGUOCkX1
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZF3KyMbqL
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W9Hlg88oX
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77vOVKIFn1
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcGHlR2Xjx

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F9ss5ow90
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNWZhOjxUE
The tyrant’s body went through a terrifying metamorphosis. His limbs enlarged at different rates and proportions. His power level burst through the roof, the saiyans began to lose their composure as fear took over their consciousness. Frieza ended his transformation, revealing his true strength.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN5pwwpj5j
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmztDw4RJM
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFOD2c9r1O
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukV01C2ap5
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3lCtuAj9V
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sgDJdXURV
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcQWaaPwmO
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvzthOPatq
His body grew as he morphed into the beast known as the Oozaru. Zarbon watched in fear as his opponent grew to a massive size. Raditz stomped on him, killing him immediately. He spotted his allies, noticing their struggle.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtCI8eoHgQ
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvY8sAqK8Y
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvd3nXKUBx
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcmZrnVCzt
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2SD7TfMEM
Without further hesitation, the others hit Frieza with an all out blast of their own, caught in between two powerful attacks, the mighty emperor suffered a devastating blow. The smoke cleared and Frieza collapsed to his knees.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxX2IwirUO
Frieza: “Y-You-”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5WxoicIXl

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqkZnPtZwa

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dpoNizKVi
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt7sVNJEtH
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cdw9kw2UT
Kakarot: “Not again!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUkX5JDnQu
Frieza lifted his hand, creating an explosion around them. The force knocked them all away, providing enough distance for him to safely transform. He went through another change, taking on his true form. All of his prior injuries healed.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReRoyFuiA9
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAtnbVIBmc

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmNyeViYGk
Faster than any of them could track, Frieza shot a swift and small beam from his finger. Kakarot watched helplessly as the beam headed straight to Vegeta.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fiHRnyxSG
Kakarot: “Look out!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbGnAweSLw
He reached his arm out, desperately trying to get a hold of the prince and move him away. His efforts were pointless as the beam approached faster than he could close the distance. The laser hit, Nappa collapsed to the ground.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloTWmn1UfB
Raditz: “Nappa!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nype6D2u7

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJve0HX3eU
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvr7nTzFM9

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4p0K7Mzd7
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvonDhu599M
Kakarot commenced the battle by charging headfirst at the cynical tyrant. He lunged forward with a ferocious punch. Frieza dodged the attack with minimal effort. Raditz and Vegeta soon followed along, rushing Frieza with a flurry of attacks of their own. Frieza fended off the attacks with ease, demonstrating his sheer dominance. Kakarot continued his assault. The three attacked together in union. Explosions and bloodshed filled their surroundings as the soldiers from both sides continued their brutal war. Frieza raised his hand, he blew the opposing saiyans away with a wave of force. They retaliated with a ki blast shot in union. Frieza leaped into the air, evading all three at once. Kakarot rushed at him, swinging multiple fierce blows. Frieza dodged them all, returning a kick to his ribs. He spit out blood. The blow left him stunned from the pain. Frieza elbowed his cheek, sending him crashing to the ground. Kakarot shut his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth as he groaned in pain. He felt his broken body struggle to stand, and yet, against all odds, he stood. Vegeta dove straight in with a kick. Frieza caught his leg with his tail. He smirked as he watched the powerless saiyan attempt to free himself from his grasp.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwdyoYbCjk
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTJ5oQxD6x
Vegeta shot a ki blast to the tyrant's face. Frieza flicked the blast away with minimal effort. He delivered a heavy punch to Vegeta's liver. He spit blood and gasped for air. Frieza tossed him into a building and followed it up with an explosion set off by his eyes.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ40d3PK6Vz
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9faxYgsYU
Raditz unleashed his most devastating move. Frieza stopped it and dispersed the attack with a single hand. He flicked his hand towards himself, pulling Raditz closer with telekinesis.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1HEcp80sk
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEePODjNOvi

Frieza: “Such an anticlimactic end it seems.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UN5PVpfmo
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYfOa0HUOk
Frieza: “You again!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaEzEehMXD
Kakarot's face dripped in blood, his gaze was tense and focused on Frieza and nothing else. His fury overtook his consciousness, there was no room in his mind for words, only action. He viciously swung at Frieza, his blows ripped through the air. Frieza blocked a punch.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnHPwSSkzA
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIcHnHK1yo
He yanked his arm and kicked the back of his head, following the attack with a whip from his tail. Kakarot crashed into a nearby building. He burst out from the rubble, charging at Frieza yet again.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqHNiqnhJW
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX93k5bgze
Kakarot landed a knee to Frieza's gut. He balled up his hands together and slammed them into Frieza's back. Frieza fell straight down but caught his balance before crashing against the ground.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcI7EzKDkY
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4mYjNtaQA
He lifted his arms, large chunks of rubble went flying towards the saiyan. He smashed through them with his bare fists. Frieza used the distraction to land a mean headbutt to his face. He kneed his gut and punched his jaw. Kakarot was powerless against the tyrant’s onslaught. He took every blow head on. Frieza kicked him into a nearby hill, smashing it into pieces. He flew after the airborne saiyan, juggling him through the air with multiple blows. He delivered another punch to his face, knocking more blood out. Kakarot gradually turned his head back, pushing through Frieza's fist. He grabbed his arm and twisted it. Frieza yelped before getting punched in the mouth. Kakarot grabbed him from his face and zoomed to the nearest building, slamming Frieza's head into it. Frieza kicked him away, creating some distance.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3r9cR6M3s
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzBRoP08zi
Kakarot's pupils were bright gold, his power shot up as his hair grew. His might shook every nearest planet. Raditz looked up from where he laid.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7DpQciQvz
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUwzdfPKs0
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb7plX0IpK
Kakarot breached the distance between him and Frieza, landing and uppercut to his jaw. He followed it with a hook to his cheek and a knee to his chin. Frieza blasted him away. He sent forth and endless barrage of blasts, each exploded upon colliding. Kakarot began to force his way through the blasts. Fighting through the pain. He reached Frieza who immediately backed away upon seeing him appear through the attacks.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMFnbosLwO
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9c0OfmI5l
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy4Exasj2b
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j8rq5IP5e
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iXpJ34VdA
Vegeta: “N-No. The super saiyan legend, he's supposed to be a golden warrior. This is different. It's hard to believe, but the one who stands before us is no longer Kakarot. Somehow he's managed to channel the power of the Oozaru without going through the transformation. Kakarot's been overtaken by his own strength, right now, there is no friend or foe, only combat.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkLNBVuDBu
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB2d8M3kEu
Vegeta: “I'm not entirely sure, but I've seen it before, a saiyan gets overtaken by their own power and leaves us with no choice but to be put down. I… I don't think we can stop Kakarot's rampage.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEu0ShSMno
The two clashed back and forth. Trading blows. With each blow Kakarot grew more powerful and terrifying. His body shut out the pain of his injuries, focusing all of its energy and adrenaline on the fight. He rushed Frieza with a punch to his gut, slamming him into a mountain, smashing it upon crashing. Frieza froze him in place in a sphere of energy and kicked it away like a ball. He repeatedly kicked it around before spiking it to the ground. Kakarot rose from the ground. His armor was shattered and his body was battered. He put his arms out and shouted. His power spiked as the planet trembled. He clenched his fists and opened his mouth. A ball of energy formed in his mouth. Frieza raised his finger.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdIQMP5vb0
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWLxtJIjUm
A massive sphere of energy released from Frieza's finger. He tossed it downwards towards Kakarot. Kakarot fired a blast from his mouth. The attacks clashed, each pushed back against the other. The force of their struggle shook planets and stars. Frieza's supernova was claiming the edge, gradually forcing its way to its target. Raditz leaped into action, launching a special attack of his own to push back against the world ending wrecking ball. Vegeta soon followed.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaSozyH3gN
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo6BAAVjF8
The prince unleashed his ultimate attack to support his allies. The three gave their all against the tyrant’s most fearsome attack yet. The planet crumbled, cracks formed on the ground. Soldiers were crushed by rubble or consumed by the planet's scars. Frieza's body bulked up.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWbJjoNJLb
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZz4Mj0Rfk

Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOpCXvOtAr
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mhHfZc9dJ
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivFkAE99Cb
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTQkkZChZN
“Haaaaaa!!!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSFTW5jgMi
The trio used the distraction to find an opening in Frieza's attack, piercing through it and hitting the tyrant head on with their combined power. The destructive force of their beam sent Frieza crashing down.

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0CO7HL2NQ

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLthyP2E7b
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi2C81JyRx
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCW0l9r89B
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxapcNgWiH

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIWpZWLKNe
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrLXxg5pmj

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDcDChpEqz
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObPJGET1T5
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHdtBSvf8k
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjscjolI5U
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZed3mogghO
Frieza used the last of his strength to shoot one last attack at Kakarot while his back was turned. Kakarot felt a new sensation, a 6th sense that allowed him to feel the attack heading towards him. He turned around and punched the attack away. He approached Frieza at blinding speeds. He stood in front of him for a moment, looking down at him.

Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwnqkD5MH9
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdVNyvHVRs
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIMkY86kU0
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbQlCicV26
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV382qykGEX
Kakarot: “It's done…”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF68tmtA1YN
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXE25Z086J
Vegeta ascended into the air.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5csxc3rGp
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxjFDxtRXH
Their military began to retreat back to the ship. Frieza's men fell to their knees, some begged for their lives, others preferred to perish than betray their lord. Everyone regrouped in the ship. The ship took off into space, leaving not too far away from the atmosphere of the planet.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD7Khsz1QF
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1q9NAr9LO
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNs6IIhx3m
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtot9gg0vr
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpItrDL99Y
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjQ7j5yaXx
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd64i6OA0Pk
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4b3x4WWCa
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAQVw6ClXF
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRRiDR6uS2
The Colonel smirked after securing his success and retreated to another room. Vegeta on the other hand, couldn't find it in himself to crack as much as a smile. Kakarot took a seat.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkicf6l60Mn
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5qRPw8Py6
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya0THq6yJB
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTWq9TNC2z
Vegeta glared at Kakarot. His gaze was locked in on him for the entire ride back home. The ship landed on earth. After all the action, everyone was fatigued and mentally drained. They took the rest of the day off to rest. The next day couldn't have come any sooner. Raditz reported to the “Battle Station,” as per Vegeta's request earlier.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y2MFNeBrC
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5wl41WZl4
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pB4wUinoO
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL7qZlD238
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOhk6hNdJx
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cR3uPwYaK
Vegeta: “With Nappa gone, his position has been left open. I'm providing you an opportunity to seal the deal for good and sit by me as a conqueror.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp6XAIOdxC
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMBde5TIJM
Vegeta: “I can read you like a book, Raditz, you're a notorious schemer. With Kakarot rising in the hierarchy, you've gained the perfect opportunity to seize the throne from me by his side and let your bloodline rule for centuries to come. But I'm telling you know, it's a plan doomed to fail.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTBcjX59W7
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVY1TweA5v
Vegeta: “Even now you play your cards to end up on the winning side. Kakarot isn't a leader like me, he couldn't even bare the responsibility of ruling his own planet after having conquered it. On top of his uncontrollable power, he's unstable and ultimately unfit to rule. Your empire would fall apart and eventually all that power would mean nothing. If you want to win, you stick with me.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvpq7hTEef
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OyTO4FmaK
Vegeta: “I know your real problem, Raditz. This isn't about you choosing which side benefits you most, you've simply grown soft. His earthling nature has rubbed off on you, but both you and I know that this mentality is his greatest flaw. One that will cost him dearly one day, one that will cost YOU everything. You're a saiyan warrior, you know what the right choice here is.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7N55pc8N7
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMoRJqHi02
Vegeta: “He has a soft spot for you, the same way you talked that fool into joining us is the same way you’ll convince him to leave for good. I can't afford having him show me up, it would permanently bruise my reputation. I need you to get rid of him one way or another. This is your final task to secure your spot next to me.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMVNXdkG0r
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKTZLcTf6g
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8is5C0W9x
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZav6L0Mq0R
Kakarot: “I've avenged our people, I should feel great and yet I feel more conflicted than ever. Everything was great and now I'm back to square one.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmLERla3MV
He looked at his fist in shame.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGfJqEB33b
Kakarot: “That moment, it felt so strange. Losing myself in battle is a common occurrence, but in that moment, I feared nothing, not for my life or even the life of my comrades. I almost killed my own brother. I'm lying to myself, the truth…. The truth is I loved it… but it scared me.. Bulma… Beet, they're probably still waiting for me. I haven't seen them for a while.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT3WVEbzH6
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhgoRDLvpH
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvm4cXfj3A
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX410q94rY0
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuFayTmfnJ
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOsIOTobGO
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSAQN6yst8
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGneIcUJEwB
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLVnYmGcBx
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ22kdsX6L
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16N35vG3HA
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBrLMwU2h6
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtrQGinK6O
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAUTghdqlT
Raditz: “One of Frieza's goons, Frieza had many connections… I guess they didn't waste time in tracking us. They damaged my scouter too, I couldn't get a hold of you sooner..”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEkeVXHv4f
Kakarot rushed inside, disregarding his brother. He tossed aside the rubble that he once called his home. After some digging, he found Bulma and Beet, laying still on the ground, stained from their own blood.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLAk81aY7T
Kakarot: “No…”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUh7GRbqKW
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Ahvgh15d
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI0FoVV88n
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlow40lefRM
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l6E3Y3UH1
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbDdZFDb5e
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlHga6AI3r
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk1zwAaqjZ
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCnBtGbF7V
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7ZR7yrmK3
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGctYOQ0YrV
Kakarot sensed an incoming attack but was too late to react. Raditz shot a blast through Kakarot's back from behind, piercing through his liver. Blood dripped from Kakarot's wound and mouth. He laid on the ground, struggling to move or speak.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVAdpg7gvz
Raditz: “I really wish it didn't have to come to this, brother, but the prince is right, being around you made me soft, I had to let go of you if I truly wanted to succeed.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRAz8u2cvM
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxaaRbVIK3
Raditz: “Back then when we destroyed the Tatsus, I learned something. Our power levels drop in moments of vulnerability, even the weakest of warriors can fatally wound the mightiest in such a scenario. To think your biggest weakness would be your heart in the end haha! Let my words sink in while you draw your last breaths.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu9rUdR390
Raditz flew away, leaving his brother to die. Kakarot helplessly looked at his deceased family, unable to speak or move properly. The rain left him colder than his body was already getting. He groaned in pain for a while before his groans gradually died out and his eyes fell shut.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnrTrKG7EJ
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED5zcFvEV7
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ73m3mfho
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uQRf0IXRF
Vegeta: “That's what I like to hear! I'm a man of my word, from here on out, you're my right hand man.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L66jkXHnA
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6GNFNnp4h
Raditz bowed down in respect.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR1inz4XuX
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiPTpQQrSU
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MA16tLrxF
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4odlBqqFzR
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRLLsgsmez
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wgpS4m8ph
Vegeta: “Well, looks like we have a mess to clean up. In his condition, he won't last very long. Assist me, Raditz, let's make sure he stays down this time!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcpu0i7QqJ
Raditz: “Right!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukoThSxEQN
Kakarot: “I-I don't understand! What happened t-to the saiyan pride! We were friends working towards the same goal! What about N-Nappa!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgABVwrcwxJ
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZaLFrQGcj
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFUscUIMOU
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP6khz82T9
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZihx16XLg
Tears ran down his face.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGXAG66eFy
Kakarot: “I gave up everything to be a part of you all! B-But you're just like everyone else.. power, control, that's all that really matters to you huh? Saiyan pride is nothing but a load of bullshit! It was never about Frieza or the saiyans was it?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpruipYlOHi
Vegeta: “Of course not! The strong survive and the weak die. Those not willing to do anything to remain at the top and nothing less, are mere weaklings simply waiting to die!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawcz0LruS6
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotO92VcnhH
He shot a blast at his fellow saiyans. They evaded his attack and rushed to attack him. Vegeta and Raditz attacked from left and right, overwhelming Kakarot with various combinations. He fended off the attacks but had no room to counter. Raditz kicked his injured liver, staggering Kakarot. Vegeta used the opening to land a straight right to his face. The saiyans kicked him away in union. Kakarot crashed through a wall from the building. They immediately continued their assault, following him outside, raining ki blasts on him like the rain that poured from the clouds. Kakarot struggled to free himself from the pressure, taking the blasts head on. He got a sudden burst of power and used it to hit Vegeta with an energy blast that knocked him away.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs0fVuLL7N
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy225AYSilb
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK38PJeol8
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08FzMEm9ng
Raditz smirked.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBGthXhn0T
Raditz: “I w-wont lie to you.. I really did care about yo-u.. Br-other. B-But that love made me weak. The w-weak don't survive.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNBcBEPgJp
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFGfVQTqlt
Vegeta came in with a kick that knocked Kakarot off of Raditz. Kakarot got on his knees and rested his hands on the floor. Tears ran down his face. He laughed hysterically while simultaneously sobbing in a disturbing fashion.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4ZtiV7cV1
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SszoWYsk9
He pounded the ground.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYEY6Y9jRk
Kakarot: “I should thank you, brother, you've opened my eyes! Both of you have! I spent too much time caring about meaningless, worthless things. I'm Kakarot, the greatest warrior that ever was and ever will be! I was only born for one thing and one thing only!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr3OREsAYp
His hair grew in length and his pupils turned golden. His eyes developed a red, deep outline. He stood up, his demeanor was more relaxed from before and he had no trouble standing.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5XwgKtuPk
Kakarot: “To fight!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5EQfWkgzN
He dashed at them, striking them both at the same time. He grabbed Vegeta from his face and slammed him into the ground. He then turned around and elbowed Raditz in his eye, followed by a knee to his nose. Raditz held his nose in pain as it leaked blood. Kakarot punched a hole through Raditz's gut. He spit blood, holding onto his brother's arm.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjs6NaeOCz
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV1cnAZxOt
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka8FGeZbXn
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PWHHntMtP
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXbnO3lCri
The prince launched a fierce attack. Kakarot deflected it with his bare hands. He rushed to Vegeta, ramming into him with a headbutt. He kicked him away and shot a blast to follow up. Vegeta came crashing down, struggling to stand. Kakarot dropped his knee into his spine.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zmu71UJfI
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy5bbsVtzP
Kakarot grabbed him from his hair and slammed his face on the ground repeatedly. The pain in his wounds diminished as his strength grew. He got off the prince and turned him around to face him.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vKZiWNPsJ
Vegeta: “You don't… want to do this, Kakarot.. I didn't want to tell you… but we've discovered these magical orbs known as the dragon balls… I have one in my possession.. The plan was to use them to make me immortal, but we can restore your family instead, you won't be able to do this without me!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pvroJzqz3
Kakarot: “You still think this is about my family? Or even your betrayal? I've spent my entire life, devoting myself to other people. I spent my childhood wanting to be accepted and a portion of my early adulthood fighting a war to live a peaceful life with a woman. I dedicated the rest to a family and eventually to you guys. I thought this was all for me, but it was always for everyone but ME. But now, this isn't about the saiyans, this isn't about my family, or even about your betrayal, this is about me! There's nothing left to distract me from my real destiny and I've never felt more satisfied! So go to hell, Vegeta.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYvRwN92dr
Vegeta: “Wait!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmH1TpQZCC
Kakarot finished Vegeta with a blast, leaving his corpse to rot. He looked up at the sky, showering in the rain. He smiled brighter than he ever had. The universe's greatest warrior had been born.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtkTmVNqHU
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NUYhyBeog
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xKkUUVs5K
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgKB63z3Mj
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRLtKJc3rj
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”

Shenron: “As you wish."
