Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH63swjTE0e
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydoXMfZJW0
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYNcl37YxQ
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmguD8GSa1j
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMD0tgZgoh
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxeOjOJtHS
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fw2jve2Gr
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSF9g2h06D
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LFNAOI3I1
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiOccN1OHr
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JciclL5R1
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb4JReaUaH
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbIfgjB9bO
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk3g5gNVx0
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR2JXkN0vh
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tP21x6V8c
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7to0dKiI0R
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst0V9L3foH
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.

“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72mKCUSMGx
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvckwXEH6G
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijrFDVYFLK
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY3MujBAOG
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZklhQZBMrI
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4CPGwTuha
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxcWIq7Gk1
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK2zp4y5SG
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy7lDbGqKy
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnMEoDjNjj
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrrLNBfSvU
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hOL0UXGll
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphnwaF87Rn
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjztUENLhCl
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl6U9eC9Uj
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJADwF7aQ7Y
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nn36e1htM
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7C0wdGcdw
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99Geafr6cW
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlUSxZNzHz
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78ug69bR0P
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPw13YEp4K
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjuJ5q83fO
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zTWwrcliT
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd80rYatbh
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqvLl4WPqj
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXqEe43JWV
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV90dRY8TX
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhss3ksQlfo
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM0p2DgYbM
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNFLOxyKI6
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9o1o3PWAO
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGgpTpQBlm
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BLwvJ2nSe
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm103itkGYM
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWed1ERHhS
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD4YMkTXuC
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhOpNqGj0U
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95wle0Fq1F
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblt6XB0uYN
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKgpMlKPpj
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SgJJni66b
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC3GT27GXP
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnnozPeyUI
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIQGUzR5X3
Beet: “Haaa!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnBQR5XdEI
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5odPRCFUho
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FHW4ceQHd
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYk0IJDwl7
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdynhSsJJdZ
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ITJhiug0k
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW0oyFW0YQ
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-”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFx8zlBw6T
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSUGFZlSwN
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtuZBXMGxp
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCwf9AZm3V
Kakarot: “Enough”!
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtecc8zNVpk
Beet: “Huh?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciA9Q15A2N
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz10NaePvNU
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjS7k25pUQ
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVr0FOTZ6W
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RjvFY6x7b
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw7FccUxic
Beet: “Right!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8UERcClBO
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI7DpGxiHQ
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3OrvwdpBl
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07uht8xKIZ
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs2PC1DUQC
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSut1aIIkm
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaie4d4ZgL
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dWqN8eGQh
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNuyaeeY12
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYQkrvbdrC
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3cl1k3c7s
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiqchIjp9F
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchOSAO7y74
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGY4EUp6YB
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR002YtbSn

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsgjReurJC
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbitEMTjqJ
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy091pDk3fL
“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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpQ8xHDwFX
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqEGqTNMR0
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KAMtP6jnT
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTKNko0DLv
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvAEwYOXDB
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zqUcLKib7
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsgxUhnhe8
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3HrziNMaq
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaEmTyt364
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XrjWFexkX
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlzXIy4uBW
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z7aH1bIbJ
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn6PxZtf7z
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMf1o88bUd
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqkX8rN4fU
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL81Y3KC7Qx
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwGevloI6J
Bulma chuckled.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHhoLAmRKL
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMWP3Wo2X5
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3UBQvmqij
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uIAQJeO4q
Beet: “Momm!!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8GRBnKL6O
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWmRaFX8HZ
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1M9RaJI2B
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfyB38SB2p
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF8liBbCbB
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6UMSyonMc
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0ZXJ6oofq
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dpP27xUSS
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5dBWZ2BuN
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhAdzmDEc0
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yyIPiW2m1
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqoaPin4fA
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Ri5HFELW
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdObQtKQHPK
Kakarot: “Enough!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7NOb2dKaH
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPWtYWhrc2
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA4i7XGmlW
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35gyPP7oZx
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnsF7KX6yi
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR8rwFRnAW
Beet: “Sir!!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz0LWfAiNE
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmyNuQqw3c
Bulma: “Beet!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zwRpAWVhd
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabYgxzSTzN
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVY89xBJvo
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve3dx5pQyx
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0W2sr90CY
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmLjc1r7kH
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyGfAijcAh
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyQ168qu3p
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi89QJqYWp
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW4G8A3TIH
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrNgiueXl1
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeREm5cCaz6
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmoScu9ZyL
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlsWptUUp3
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jx40SMXUN
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUvg6bucAQ
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwqqec9weQ
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdvFGNsq4T
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUfcZIZP63
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSGHdAdBke
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaL78PyzKj
Raditz: “You have my word.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbqSGwb0Z1
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W7ovCjF7L
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwXufogAEf
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYWBMEAVHv
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrr829ulrP
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC3XCMqH3F
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHmideYtIN
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF1jMS6Boc
Raditz chuckled.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9u4FG8ipN
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0XUBv1cXM
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU8jQvexqR
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9qrlm0WbK
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBf3JGzO4h
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzKhut9nCU
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaJgM9Wbfp
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGDAFVJ1mM
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7vfGx2Lo9
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEoTBUBqhF
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMkJrzikyr
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4dost1PFQ
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tzcV8yEmU
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwX3mi4krF
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x252QX2gi
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbBvozoMPh
Raditz took a deep breath.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoA9QQ26hu
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMZz3UBW8b
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWIaZ9X6Oz
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPbdD6khyW
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA01evURbk3
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm7uRbkVig
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaomqD0HbRl
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXsKlPap0B
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ4xjoGf7K
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyifG08XXvd
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBW1B0y4mt
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6DGuJ4d6P
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPNu4XwOk8
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wdcgrGdGv
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq4kjaBTlZ
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7DCCM6Bsp
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sB3MgpT7W
Kakarot: “The prince?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVCP365Waj
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tt7RLinlD
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XxoFRPbMr
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3w4zVG1CN
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD1Y3qRiJo
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdWr8xIg3N
Kakarot: “….”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BWGfGqs4p
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBTtg4bZ7Z
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MpbV5sOpz
Bulma hesitated to reply.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8wdTj47k0
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfwzCOBXLw
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfdRkcG2PK
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPNmLXSTsd
Beet: “Sir!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHShfkSBLf
He came face to face with his father.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehIsfGnA3R
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxR4Tfm7Eq
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkQpUHRvx4
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOdFwlwzZp
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5ew0riKVU
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVgYZBqCwQ
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfwE3ISz48
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgasTUhc4Ts
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZxKFF3VYu
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dlg8oRVd3
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI77PPLHCu
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuyTRaL620
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgIvdyOAxt
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2uQtmNQ6A
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.’
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA47QcUNoW
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BJZShwcrz
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzovAjokV61
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXqwZ3PT0h
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxONMC7Qw1q
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK20EnN0FtS
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLXke66u1r
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzL6VCOrAi
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ku4HzPQRN
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXNq1Iro16
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBMlB340vR
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dctM2saHC
The prince hesitated.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1c4O6ntkk
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKOnYfHjEQ
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZDUntO4pT
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSBmQsBik0
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91aNOvYJVY
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVluCqyLud
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVYt68TenH
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13VG6Vt8P6
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlzQTBDpWq
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMcgkR4ef1
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsKeqm6hkm
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHwkdBRljj
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMnvLqRFW3
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDQaSw5Rw1
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSld65636vd
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajO9E6bjJp
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGjUnBZvF5
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxvm0ibpXo
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3DPNIdhbb
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BCMvZ2pgr
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhrcSeTUjF
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctWoW5u8hs
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3xzyz7kTu
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2rY3bjHRu
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RsAMsfZ77
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULBHFkwImO
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eotdXkTW9
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZNLm9i1LL
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dBKiBYFHg
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyLgveMotd
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJZ4xv9V3P
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus13pmCzUa
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05nuSzNOIG
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNiYV7U1ls
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTrJkusThf
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD5oztewAE
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROY5sUZ5X4
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTiYHAVZ1i
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8Y2fTcEOP
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyRMnSlh6w
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihLUguD1Q0
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACcH1UhsbF
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCBq8tottK
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOL0h0Uncf
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLmfhOBroe
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMv9PTDycr
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PsReOaN8t
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7YRXSTnXm
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlANKHDJzVj
Kakarot: “What was that?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bMXbfhLjY
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWDdH3ptVD
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeGtioqLzj
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGadfud4et
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzcAnRg0iz
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZXoYVhXtB
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFGXhoFpu7
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZQF0U7mbg
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zxoCYZhZr
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC7DjQCvLu
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw6pEO9jAY
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLYULtobVa
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fLBFWyHpz
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRt26ox1Xq
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9xRYbDtnj
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4Us5QoHWc
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5yQ1CKtso
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8iRqbp6sV
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34FnmRbes8
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6zYLZe2q7
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXgyXt7lX1
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lUYujAMkc
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2M0AVaHTZ
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbmnv6O4AH
“Your foot is on my tail!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIsGZeaH46
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XPSmcT8Vs
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwz4Fw156U
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtqZgFt4t8
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYdK7X9gx8
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BBwam02t9
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz9pbi66Iu
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0853yb3oXQ
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjd5IkIdxA
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHElyY4xaM0
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfxaFezykp
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxLStf6Kd3
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgDzya8Dtm
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcpVRJqZjo
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pb9iL7QHm
Kakarot smiled.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZEgijPWtK
Kakarot: “Understood!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1W9k7KYm3
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVksdmxi9Ne
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmOHHiYoxN
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRf7N1mGOz
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL0ltYReZX
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgnzismRo7
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxlo6uHuvy
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlpMqwPw2V
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl730D0OoX
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LPQXBYSLf
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSTehbLdfd

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74pNhkWkd1
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZvu9uAZH0
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvTG29eZEK
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5eImeDfde
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIbyCohnri
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPwSAvavwn
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG1oWGNPk7
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnZcq9VyGG
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoczPnQrdF
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5DCWAzd9j
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiJS3rEQ1R
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOJ2oJ5rMQ
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn1xc4SMmG
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaydItxsoU

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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL09awaRD3
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnxGqLInC3
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0KP0yzIZ0
Raditz: “Why you!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXYWKccyel
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeWLTOlvZf
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IbEglKGL4

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bZUbiFsDe
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6bAh5bkUb
“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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQaUe8b3EB
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbpGpLoT4W
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1kTp1oYFy
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcZxCAj4pH
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPW9kJ3U2D
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFCNHSdRST
Doctor: “I will sir.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlJgF2TVj8
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuA7JRfT2f
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlaqQKvCgP

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQXaJXeaiU

Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeZRe6tZVI
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sfhFsDk98
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CodMvg86q
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8DgmomRNR
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE8FGkgiSp
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPLtGBiL7b
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRyFsaj6kS
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeFQFv6Vss

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbRVKNNBCZ

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQcFGserwO

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreA0hIFcUV

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov9iAqWKGn
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOQcuSMgza
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxM7tHDm7w
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X1VJrojH6
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcBwpmPiWW
Kakarot: “They'll be fine. Humans tend to fear what they don't understand. Our family won't cause any harm, they're here to help this torn planet. You'll understand when you're older.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98aF0FCpkM
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.

Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBTO5ejcq1

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85xV92NKVW
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbegQb2PaG0
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFtrRR6O49
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ctT4CXdBC
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM08OVPzpD
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGMX07BG47
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQITICP7kU2
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGHmEssZ8O
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJwlYBSqIj
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0NsiS9b3R
Raditz: “I will..”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0oaDmsi2E
Raditz turned to his comrades.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZKMmGujOq
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf8yyKhcFU
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4xysAdmk3
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwDelWb1gh
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTM5zqeqVl
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4VxQ5rGDB
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99P802mNge
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iC5Xor3jP
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN4ozy1kFT
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm6nEoHHGi
Beet: “Okay!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtOuKWgG34
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijNqWDtKIm
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ec4fBRy7q
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxG2y1POoh
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmBAOorWtN
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu3WiO9m5P
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMtFuFTPeF
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuVi9Fs6uP
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93ozrmtbX2
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z7JiouS3K
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwDNXuTD1X
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRTtCcCKce
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOzDGj93Ix
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Ovh7VTPk
Beet: “O-Okay.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaOUF71hb7
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBEhugKcsX
Kakarot: “What happened?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FxgAZGRm1
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofIGmnzrEd
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pHGy3vdyA
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNDMSXmSri
Kakarot: “Fine.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbztqqGuPuQ
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dfPIH733J
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9LydzctjX
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZzAruyPnA
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsuOR8ULtl
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SkAjvM2ka
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSX8Yiu79p
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqc9qQ3h9h
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlpa887jKK
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96ey8rq9xg
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3srpRgZ1R
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS36NFZp0bn
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r2w3lk3Un
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwboNeZ76n
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbHl62B0C8
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk04aD0EyQp
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK067XLoTYP
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46rEqfKTuy
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljLHLhu5eu
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k4NhBj5Ds
Raditz: “Understood.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3IWoLQ0k9
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hLwVarqHh
Raditz departed from the room.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7SkF8XkOm
“Haaaa”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHZAuhYtwW
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9mVgtAW5j
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv1tkViFUm
Kakarot: “Right.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmmNmbwGeg
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKT0ZAinf9
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOKGHuZr6O
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r0lftWcRi
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRJUIHOTUn
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZSkQlH7kx
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzTS3SuLVa
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QNN9a9Awd
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGeW9UQNZx
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZl7MjF2ee
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RBQRPvBPc
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxBNAQ3D1R
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbHuUJXfKQ
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjeb04WdJy
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbQqHZwxFA
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV64j4sbvh
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s9raxKFlJ
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupPtL5FepY
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd9uIUfhKI
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpO1vsaPX4
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0NXsPTuZb
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfw2R6erKq
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M6d0Dozk3
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ79kg14lvn
Kakarot turned around.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMSEGxjcVx
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO7lfzOzQ4
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l3ds0glO2
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVQxvKZPBs
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzfA6Xfqe9
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIw1yVKovI
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2kuVbgwi9
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL94RAYlZFz
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS1AdsvhXG
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry8ZRpak9A
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e3ZDLeaHr
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c2m9sLSRW
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjy25d3QU5
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgokQ01r2dh
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrqGmyuh79
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOmRbY2c6m
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPctx0VsQjL
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMJcKO39oi
Kakarot: “Right!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbS40FYM1k
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqdYOA0wSc
Kakarot: “Yes?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0SRjMCxyX
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ROZNPe6K9
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBRuOLC1CR
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYwArkxBx2
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqg7ecOOiq
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelfrjgnc2i
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmT0Ahnl2E
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU2SFXQxDP
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf4kbYA3wU
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXmMP5npvf
Raditz turned to his brother.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVGb2tdA0b
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0hpzESFRA
Raditz: “Right..”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n0dLs7cgE
Raditz took off with his pod.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrrhrQaSQW
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r90DZgNvF
“Let me take a look.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDOB9ECA0z
Beep! Beep! Beep!
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIsvnTAxUw
“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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtTWoI2YrC
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl7pLvbmCh
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCUiWzDvv7
He bowed in respect.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jeBtrHf5Q
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DdyHRZiM8
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcjcC723f9
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIPpYKPnbe
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nuXHEYn8A
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5kcVovIV7
Raditz: “As you wish.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lMoHrzIxG
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB3XPFzdPJ
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjOPdvAK3g
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZK15V9NkP
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLck86LVD8w
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvV7HZYS1V
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90QaxvlXXz
Zarbon took his leave.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfGi2qNyxg
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfkxC1DYad
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1brAbkr8r
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXVT3WXSZQ
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgZVg0eFZ5
Raditz chuckled.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVo5QcvNGl
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiFiZ6yw9R
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrFaOPQgcG
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqTTf0eaja
Beep! Beep! Beep!
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7ydOGDmS7
Raditz: “He's here…”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT7JABK0m2
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDFwodtA9P
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6Atq2wnwz
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVo6IMLDva
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriWTQp9GXG
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjmViKcRqk
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW7VFJ3uxg
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MoX8htoVl
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXyzovle5c
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMYbAgaHXs
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKfBJOOdVe
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajgCqRp7tu
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipEMVT14RJ
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6RaOwdWgF
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF4uIl6LGc
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9kpDwCEQ7
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gPE4ux78W
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntjIAskvqb
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjdHzxMIKA
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTsj8E6jD0
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxOUiIBM5H
Raditz: “Damn it!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfINTwkYcMR
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJoY5u6SlR
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcsnsXa7Kb
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54DzloCF5p
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvAV6192h8
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRKI3EZdJJ
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhH6jl4EDk
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPq4laGDh9
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrpTc0MXHm
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGsJ7pRwo0
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVWsyPC1bz
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLiQpABSfT
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr5r8oeDLw
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVsD5ycoSr
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZkNO6Tw0O
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYfEwiTwfB
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfG9A7kepm
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiWGiLKpPf
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.

Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZhXEwIqC2
Dodoria: “Why you!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBjIVCNF7B
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS9wcMguLP
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVg2aDwl3w
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7TXuwHvWE
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp0VLTHzvD

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf0S1Gnm8h
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIXOvQPto1
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrRqt7rlOl
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51TVx389WU
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShdK9mgN77
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QkiJasubr
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPlylNebUt
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”

Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXHk3AoCWI
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vahKCD9If
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPDMGxn97v

Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7pThbGm2V
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyrGW0eTDH
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.

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.

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztQ3jv4F51

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDhikDV8mn
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeVXFuFZsn
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcVjyVb5z7
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDmNMJvrai

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpecvfdMeyc
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrAKg0hakT
Frieza: “Y-You-”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz5oMzdr3L

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5BsY9BEnC
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OJlNd1Ury
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjr1wULjau
Kakarot: “Not again!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGWWs3nf2j
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwgMvbx3ut

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsWTXtw4SE
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5rIsi0pIp
Kakarot: “Look out!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe24D8VUec
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYUfFRg4gI

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznDP6gIyLr
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKksCJ6reR1

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4df3efgdP
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoiKnvDD0K
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMinFwwBYr
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWfrY53XL3
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tgePz02oG
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrN8CcwreF
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0uNR0QyOO
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhCT4CWRwS

Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PGOmyUgtP
Frieza: “You again!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9imX7APde
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpX84OygVO
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvDm11tvNz
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAZKA68mrG
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RjPRSizmm
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQBnf7NrMB
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4jIKzGQeX
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qVGBr5bJv
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHlzAhn7kX
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtQ13PrBIA
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMaT6hS7Nh
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWc1b7f84L
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Qt1xr7p3
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoACkeGqWUv
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQo8Pq5rEn
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEUttitvGX
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgRx4jiJ0F
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KlReppBpO
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb22PVeFecf
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OUMAq2ynh
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6etrpdE9xh
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuui0i8Y0qw
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yt3sK9wS2
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxQLVHMEEB
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0JBNp7Vss
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZnDV2cXQF
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hKSZHN9IX
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54ognYbeuN

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaZm6JcZhW
“Haaaaaa!!!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xej1IH3Uz
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.

Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSlSOhnKpM
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXBZ3AQWMy

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jnNV734F8
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzZFzDepKc
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1iPjDnayQ

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT0BlA9e6R
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..”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAg9ukr5SH
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT75lnj344
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJNWNKAsGP
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q3teHpimf
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49hCJQswaD
Kakarot: “It's done…”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW44iexTXX
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED0pUez1Ll
Vegeta ascended into the air.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraylZiE3LN
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Alrg7GiCC
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm0ns56Wir
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEwJSNC5hr
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJxGOXN0Fa
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA5dCFTAbs
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTh54WIDI9
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjGQnUHUv0
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzcZNeVOIG
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXYfvglyIG
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuOJqG9g6m
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr4altwpaP
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1kgDyN7kI
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNIE9I8m0E
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8zF1H9fQ3
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc0vnUMDyr
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P8GuT8Avg
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29ktxxdZyL
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkx7PIuRIo
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLBS8Rjrc3
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhMROiEJEI
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbTRuAOWMe
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegC0gaGlE1
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7FHhZEmSF
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi00GL8bv1E
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwfehpleFi
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiRzcGkKdW
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN9U0AUQJt
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe45ilypaH
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzf0Tk08TA
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkjSJZ92ix
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuGORMXFl2
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAgQtWDVtx
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXHvVwSFBk
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI4e31Pf5f
He looked at his fist in shame.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH84ZkBXLkR
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8Z14WJz0F
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEb5b0nvJY
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUAXLjJipJ
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTeIhlMWf4
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqjupiFiYY
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6MUHMAKQf
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0O3eOAVHq
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHY9PPeJBO
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeRDUod8a3
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCKCbNtvVZ
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxTAMTjOqY
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb9bMfcPrt
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGguwPXAOE
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjfISzQRCf
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..”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuTjP31AmL
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW4Zk6iCEy
Kakarot: “No…”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZk3C9zulz
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zt9rNOYsO
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE30PFZ6j8
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb8GqPTfUm
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W7g7MJlrt
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55PDDbxFS4
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM2wjtrJom
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ECmQ6vmVi
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m0eDQ9K4X
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBGCPRrzkM
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq1bIWDd4B
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni32KYj6Bh
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BXc3byUKJ
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1Vr426RHn
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdlxf8rtPC
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N8vVMAVVs
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoGhj0tJeP
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhgn7LoUtw
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIkuwhKyyx
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBjLPTLISS
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3RMvqonOw
Raditz bowed down in respect.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciuggdsqR1
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE72oWfHKhM
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnN7qc9wiz
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsHzPJb2O4
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT0BxsjNoZ
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzgT82GrGx
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt0T7zeMKo
Raditz: “Right!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEojdbhpnVD
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JiEYJdP3o
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR5P18NuTR
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j3SW7oP6m
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLD6SKazCT
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y5NfpmcOg
Tears ran down his face.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFo7piEs13
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKHLtYPc2n
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8cnXnD7CS
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBYdeLZ0hO
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdR6T4FQUR
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5mm7FquXZ
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PuuMBpJCE
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAaSDyPbtb
Raditz smirked.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot5TqlZQDy
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs3OjPpprU
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkS1gCVJgB
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYILpGtbs0
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUOEvweB4V
He pounded the ground.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniLSjoF5nT
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8Q2KUQkCR
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMooCDifeYJ
Kakarot: “To fight!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9CNutFZiP
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5LZso0lXc
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t8tF1znmW
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P84y3ueRn
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukaM1xN43I
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXT8aMXTau
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3WTOXOFOX
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42mLzN8t2U
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNShWIOWZd
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!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFdsPR56O1
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa56xmdBRG
Vegeta: “Wait!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63e3VuY98e
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOT44hHzTq
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkajwKhVWt
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtoUP1gfgg
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”

Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.

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!”
