Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMiP5Fmirh
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJhQ3BQeBD
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSAPUTtHyq
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaXe2tUPc0
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cVSae6b6w
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMk5m2Fd59
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8mEkqKetK
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDlabTQxxb
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nhcXlPvqH
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfpTnJuYIX
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xdy34G34U
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvCTDGU4K0
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MUv520GB3
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EJ6kXPT2B
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR7Wx9LwZY
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVhWnzVy9O
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ed3cCGWZi
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4saZUOgUW
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bAHkSezfI
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2M49ppHC0
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ5mOsSG2W
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCQS1r8eGc
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKzxH65bVm
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFezV9eUOex
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENeX7b2OIE
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXNXgMHQL6
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS2Lc5hEFE
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX69NO4UYE
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n3OpRqAFX
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92RF4GqypC
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4fhonyqjf
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaMLKGatj6
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNProGvG7Qs
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorIa1TFAr6
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDZ3bZj2A1
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qwQD1EzVg
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MxNSYaf9T
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifXVFIJqrE
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ciOudI53T
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR12t8UG3B9
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyUZQBbnqj
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ytZuEqoZ1
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLffIyM8SbA
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5jqAHGNAk
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRifhgLS5kD
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeqfjIHj8c
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR29jkALVtn
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxUXh4mllP
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeNMgo7nHa
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoBeGCgNzg
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB4723KExf
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuc53jUefc
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYsumatwCi
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUkBHsTgkS
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9WucSiNfP
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd690Lq7Ww4
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfGaCaBoMr
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQVvFKzTsT
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicYh9RH9l8
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSMj0aD5Tv
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoIAhBoVQi
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94vUomBHfu
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hmvKqE230
Beet: “Haaa!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lNoEGYlhk
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRudl46syj
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KlUS789H4
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB37ro309v
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf1AarT8r5
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nU7edL1kX
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpngwHnj4aO
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-”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXyq53OuAo
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUlWV1LShn
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNo72pXVvY
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3AujrOLHG
Kakarot: “Enough”!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pkhTyUszK
Beet: “Huh?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWg6G0pPlP
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNsnwR0v41
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3uMqtmU56
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqHEd6EyG5
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxiqQ5QlFj
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMXdmT9vZC
Beet: “Right!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJX119BNP8
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jN00NaBCP
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKurewH5zu
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnzRZKnNjE
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCuVAfOaFG
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXxNy7fWMR
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG6wkV5on0
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOPsfXNFU9
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9HNnccsIh
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiVwMcPrnS
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrse1CVOSI
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BmTcD6ke1
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlC4OFHTPS
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq5JbbhG5F
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6ugRdO27Z

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYLTWnmW7W

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeUtYMJMvs
“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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhZ4ROs9Kh
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bVoFWGBP8
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuZc0DAZiP
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPyh0L8Hht

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VCchgiwXR
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnecT0pAEqM
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XgG04hBpn
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzzlpUdikw
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyjqfi1gLY
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXBRpghSgr
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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYUyKalJcZ
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrvH0yemrx
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A09MJw8NL
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zTU4UOEdP
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOPZktx8LM
Bulma chuckled.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30tkwluH87
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAodTnqfw9
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZviM9yenSZ

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTIhe0x875

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYpJNLvhmQ
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGSPEXaamQ
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd9avKnslT
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc30ly8SGBe
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE646wbcPg6
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdBhQ69OSL
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLOczAWlBp
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmz8IcvJCz
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO4DpnTFPj
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsh80ZF3Nh
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwgyCLWFuq
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLxESsBxuX
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4hjYaNwDh
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf2pPP3iKQ
Kakarot: “Enough!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlIBJseOJg
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5hnuft82v
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdOPjqZlVD
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcCUCSX83X
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIeVoFAQDI
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGgqQobxzI
Beet: “Sir!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikzhoMhfBM
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA2mKVQD7E
Bulma: “Beet!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg85tz8xogG
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq148k6UiX
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7ZFtjrUY9
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZt8tGZnrU
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O6Yb9wFAd
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiFoB4QzGP
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPSoVn1gjJ
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrkqBEozL8
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAe1TwvYn7
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeyEFUasf2
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57hC4SCJ9b
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOjSW8XNKr
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NYg3qlF4e
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIcUsN2j2U
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDgygCgTfj
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlbQCIjHgG
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ywBRiNICJ
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcgL7h5sIg
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHah1FQLp7
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTojjC1Yp8l
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9UW7t0Bk3
Raditz: “You have my word.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKicqiaw118
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF16o4aHMI
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJeKPt01AW
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHeJwN12oO
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPfTI72Da6
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiQ02uBBY8
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6uhhEjPs1
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLwutrMKUU
Raditz chuckled.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyF0KIw2up
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwooy3h9PVa
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oQaFkwzw3
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4olmAzs0J
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IIR3ifLyR
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BZ4xrSN8N
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vWp7EArQ3
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZBfpMYXAr
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MEKL0vWc5
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVswct3tv45
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3thK3psDn7
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVOSQHtPzu
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlEDK24XZy
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXI6lstUh8
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7NPCC5fm2
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20vWD1uHQ8
Raditz took a deep breath.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JCZysvGTL
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o5pZhTq9j
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkzB361prx
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjbwWScq7A
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfePszPgxY
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO95CLtZuvf
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PUzQq6dl4
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qTlw8Q5ZO
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiNM2drvKn
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXbjXjqWFY
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxENHovhDzO
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGq5smN2h7
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrywijqLWZi
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50I7aL8wkX
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu00YznvIaR
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79Yq8knJD9
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4nO6MYcWE
Kakarot: “The prince?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XGsOW51iA
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86cwDYqfSE
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD2XlzTMVu
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3e2eKZnSu
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRcHJCDLaN
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPCBq3443G
Kakarot: “….”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR8HamaowX
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCPMfKjrQD
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorta2veJ6l
Bulma hesitated to reply.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmdwVsu1hp
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LhYpw2l69
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsbvVqnkNT
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KphLPSvbI
Beet: “Sir!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxhvNA9jBR
He came face to face with his father.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5lAWF0URZ
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcedzLHnDC
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqItXCToLL
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk6EsDUenP
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MjhMYR6UD
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqDEwtZDJs
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOzXUt3hA2
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaiVMCRsQy
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDv9qNLyHH
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEwtKbztPM
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid6lRK5JHP
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpAntHQJwv
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQctz86xYRX
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwqsuKW6Eu
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.’
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoJYp8Qr0W
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2zvWPFMuF
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn1qlsS3pa
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gqb7cHg9t
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeV5KINEGO
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZun9VfV2I
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCRSrs6vf6
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohPct6GKY7
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb5vg52GKu
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDrtkPqdRd
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk1MqIWYLG
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMd1OKIC8q
The prince hesitated.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRYIk1AFmJ
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpI0nnmouC
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJaEMvJkPA
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZZ2QIf5sC
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5ehFoMSFT
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ9lwLGLmZ
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FAD4P5csN
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYupXJZHan
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBBsBV4PEk
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3suexyrD8
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaJqgKfR7z
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekIrAyOrIW
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAOA4aokSd
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99sDs7BHX4
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jjkzqq0Hx
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq9WYXePUi
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aVnM0aQH3
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9Yf13jfXz
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIyut1gMK1
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPChUgaOUte
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU857hPFqfl
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0WhRbfhFj
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rnBqyFUre
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYm9a3HRz9
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dGvRhPkU6
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO2HJ9s9y1
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXRjVVjTsn
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvclV62Svaf
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacLzBGH4MW
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5Oksy4T3Z
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9W3gwrrDf
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsyTuiKRQ0
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkgGazYH03
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qaYvMafrr
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0bmsphRvr
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKCh8JtfXu
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArrMcmnuLG
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQSHlekiaQ
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuerYyTAT0e
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18WRqayr45
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5fMn9NZwx
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYunrksLMlS
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud3GaqCxVF
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFISYQxKxwZ
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WCUeXRSq8
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoyJym9YIm
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldHNF4s8a5
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOrapxrh4e
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM59p3mCoCh
Kakarot: “What was that?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRtw9efeWr
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAClLr816gI
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo10WkSeiu
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvMlDSgkgZ
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7FbCCHshB
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Zyr58OrU
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZccy3ogIpy
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPS1PwlSUo
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY1QjdsWfK
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutesQSYxWb
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOvN3JU1vq
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVWvqIO1xJ
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuqdXPoHtt
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRFVh1YEXj
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUeyOZd7n7
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMRBfB4S69
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ7qkR6aQk
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYAJxA4MKu
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgbaRKiWWS
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZXsgB7DdQ
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrWZYqdjZx
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjDl76YOME
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmFcoc7RUn
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRi0eSCKR3
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr0ZSpMJpf
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcfwsXlCUD
“Your foot is on my tail!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK91ohrAa0i
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HjxAPfuTA
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEQ6DWArJk
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxLIkfDC10
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03N2FeTvOG
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKo8efoHzS
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwnPkvT1HQ
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mtJxhPqtr
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9GAIWYs9j
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8GaUlhWgN
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgAGKAsD3b
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nR0XzD52R
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcANXfmHPXP
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPR12EtiqK
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8QuPlsqTW
Kakarot smiled.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmM0AefuXp
Kakarot: “Understood!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6myELfh9R
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBU7I6WKup
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyUpowdoDf
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnFt8o6VeI
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBJyRkqhFC
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqGuWCV2nL
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGDWLNNWFr
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFC3HKm8Wi
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mgSp8E2hL
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI3Pm5KHpn
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ080vtnzBaa
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNTfN1UHxR

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVHVUWprdg

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0si3Gd5xT
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxo9p4nqXu
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuQLCHiGhj
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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCcf93GX7B
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7C2yoBpPA
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM4GzDYkwh
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqv6QTnHHv
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeFgvsEg7D
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOfCvXJdoZ
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy47vpgaZNQ
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i3cqKaSp5
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1OwIPUvBt
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSsvjRyuHw
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXTf6KB9zu
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvT1O7hgs9
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIJ44683NC
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM0bY0BIgw

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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDxwDkJfEK
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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjgyqjzkJz
Kakarot: “Huh?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZz1HO855e
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNylxsujPM7
Raditz: “Why you!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBkmup2MLs
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWigDeHxHwG
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDHY0eLNlz

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2JeRdmgYP
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxMSLIWF2C
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5zN0fhC9N
“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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfPzC0FMu6
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8ZYb62ofK
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeuSVhwD9M
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy55898480m
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSrlQ7jMB2
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlIByX24Xh
Doctor: “I will sir.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q3o9x103E
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SWVP9EbqK
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U4qwzdNLD
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO8ioBxMnY
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2yIJioRiH

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc7pbZH06X

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXYhOTiGtU

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ4AN5UX7F
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kUtxJS5gf
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB2NtjSQKn
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNmSIMKFZB
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL7ClE9vpi
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsycHmqzzlr
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8etgzMegb8
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptI07U4SlM
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoR38NCBCE
Raditz: “Of course not! Saiyans are born for so much more than that, we only mate to breed more warriors. I couldn't care less what happens after that.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX5XpIe1Mt

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAyhRV8ucJ

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB6QuhImsu

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwjDQ1FxUi

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwHaQsvduP

Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmN0QpjlDE

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph1shs1BDq

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1dn24sD0v

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjONggO0Bmw
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqgqRyD7Hb
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH2nkTzQ0q
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeScwqplbC
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD0InkU0J0
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzNQGXMXQF
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMEf7aiwLG
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZzLrlsDpY

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpxRvrNXuL
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2ZEXYMjnt
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQQtCS75kf
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClwvMcPHDa
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyRDuKf5Nr
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVU4Glh1KU
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8zHJrfTQ9
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy0HtVWTMh
Raditz: “I will..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO8hw4L7VW
Raditz turned to his comrades.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYBKnLUTyB
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3arDyRxNHC
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBF8Zmnesp
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF8tHB1kV9
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQAmFdD5yM
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN3rVurEwL
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bh9UV07cn
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqflsi7G4U
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDDJh7jGjq
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElf8g525pI
Beet: “Okay!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJFEOxVh4o
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbABCgNcSI2
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kgNzfbfHg
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIvk1BbIot
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwquVvdJa0U
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jt2yKSmil
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7jRK7pNG3
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxti9XpfNoP
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZut4wxRfNX
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDKenikoXe
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXbf3Upq9o
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpmi3eKkTI
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVqyImGAT9
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ994tubUbqt
Beet: “O-Okay.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZZOMubbCf
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1YRBlv3xI
Kakarot: “What happened?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AIoo4HZJh
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXF6kZpgl1
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU4NWTqF4a
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRviGP8J9sj
Kakarot: “Fine.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb3NbBRija
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNN39411bb
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZysz5E0k9o
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbljjljCn7b
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaoRz2z0do
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDPIKu2pCh
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsOm67V7V7
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lQJZgQbAb
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9NGYZG2wH
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogq4JvhAob
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGqrlKNRhg
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNYijcJRM9
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA9OrguVop
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89ejNJXPDa
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioCaIOZHKy
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOXPN8Yfze
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnJNlhGgTa
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII9nEZEGEM
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNLZA1P8ST
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEtFekElYS
Raditz: “Understood.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEXThM0DHO
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8eKNXubOw
Raditz departed from the room.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3qyWSI7Ys
“Haaaa”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6JiEJxEX9
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqfJRv31Uz
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFfQNQJQLA
Kakarot: “Right.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCKB1ifNQn
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFxFZDJqu5
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8oFrnlUa3
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoZ8GRSCQZ
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgCL1WuReb
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp8Mh2oTla
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk49sYLaovn
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUlYa8DPCh
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYkFq3BP15
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAAgFFbBTj
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEcxTGCe3b
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZnZ0wjqUr
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzgTl5WyL5
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5lI2mX0c0
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZj4uz0H9t
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ove0m3IB9
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnIXDivfNc
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLX0RiyWN3
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZZIUKknRC
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmohWSuL1Dw
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLagYUFYW8
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DYjxVZews
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCe3Fl1LuH
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqHVrSopZI
Kakarot turned around.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mn7leYmbo
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVobc4tFRH7
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhWA6AAeIL
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVRZBcI6qs
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbErp1rOtrq
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlyXHSuC7p
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41YBmhV9g6
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEiGvj0U5Z
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUgttznCuC
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpZSzjFatK
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFChvFFW6x6
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtPFuLpmHo
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOSRVhxI5C
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn3A4Fm6Ad
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJY0p6uO3D
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6ZcyK8292
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S8zjDmmVv
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaJ5nIL5ee
Kakarot: “Right!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHtZB1WM0m
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQpn2tctrn
Kakarot: “Yes?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPQtTPixIH
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidDF45vZXh
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuREGXy3PBy
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0jd7gIiWv
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDC3OQIQN0
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM8vBHVuyq
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSBEi3beHX
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fc82ggkr3
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZoXpaNE69
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5Vlilj4cc
Raditz turned to his brother.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI9PItSqOj
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbfSVwTE5V
Raditz: “Right..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAqniroWAe
Raditz took off with his pod.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUgzeAA4LQ
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ics9pP2cA
“Let me take a look.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfncgLutPc
Beep! Beep! Beep!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdjqAjEoQa
“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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh45J1eynNW
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00s2eKunT5
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhnBr7C7Y6
He bowed in respect.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4xxpdN44h
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ryE2K0rS
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc2DIu9qlc
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe9rsbZynG
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjmkrbpDql
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBYUpsSk9f
Raditz: “As you wish.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGXAhw2lUe
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatFGejFVT0
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAL4kx21U3
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5zcVmiiYZ
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUqBz2bbKJ
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5ggRaKCrc
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNHyrx2pQ9
Zarbon took his leave.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrK0iNckxO
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTCmjabPW9
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUnHtvL0Y1
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOz7X6YVmg
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4GezN7lnC
Raditz chuckled.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe3oH6ScJD
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnvZmUWXXZ
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRAPn7TT88
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U5HQPGpkF
Beep! Beep! Beep!
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSIGvIz8oZ
Raditz: “He's here…”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuywx1BHKf
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpc68VGDFd
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mHCWl1OHJ
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOluQttGOJ
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tPVHSEn2v
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx4Lwm6AgK
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLjA3Q1kw7
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbGO1mI2yH
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxcyXtFxy2
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcKwN4Bwsy
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbJeXEwJvQ
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91IEH5H8xf
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOiQa6NmDM
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSFhzt9RYR
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem1wd16zw6
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3JM8Zoobp
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaN062AZAU
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J49PIBPv6
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh3VIZT9BL
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F8D7ZYQOt
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCwsGUOsyB
Raditz: “Damn it!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HLMHCR2g4
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocQGf1WuIJ
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ9ug3mkBt
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2XLM6dq6O
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9yfDEYlMS
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpFDT1N9KC
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBhVE875Cm
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYsqAHefVr
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CPYxGIRys
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aX5EMce0U
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeasYAJGnzG
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2k8kPUHY3
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8wLfG63r7

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDjnKdDVR8
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUXLTCEpjx
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuOF7imN5M
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGd9nB6V8w
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYVYsEwNkG
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9fWeRX1hn
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDejYho97aV
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkpnz9R6BA

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19Ej7PhW6K
Dodoria: “Why you!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwKXbLWhz2
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWvi3zraH9
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHTjJQyZqi
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYt53h6i2D
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGsmDFTkHA
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PP9yqkPaw
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR3YldkZY5
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7GkCmQtRv
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gmNFxNnT8
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqNTqSBIPE
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ7r1L3JwC
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb9Ysngv9t

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5cImbOSfO
Vegeta: “Huh?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0duS0jtWKh

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm13r3POBzr
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdRueDqTZB
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF05285O5f
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR5gKvI2c7
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3llMoukG3
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWJsiOxirT
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4VWp95ZoL
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvJJHKV0hU
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs8dzZACyI

Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qJuLmi4MX
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcLeGYS35T
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”

Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpLJU08GzA
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqPd5AtAiX
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLIaBF4BJv
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rRce9NS8t
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLoMoQiMAk
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiEdZPjKKG

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQsrMRxrZn

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnrqkAdfsb
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVDuOSftv2
Frieza: “Y-You-”

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfeJI92OHI
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctWOH0suQV
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwee57qYNxa
Kakarot: “Not again!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0wktNjOLL
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHy17s7TGt

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAtkRTFTLI
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdPNQeyPGA
Kakarot: “Look out!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkammBx6tqe
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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizgxbt3TNa
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroyX5ShHij
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvHNQMEgIl
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIzEVPdMHy
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGVRCu1u4e
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5KICPuF81
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNaovuATcF
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLiDpEgfIU

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93HTX6bvcG
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK6Cd4pa2y
Frieza: “You again!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3PWNPKwId
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp5qBMR5eE
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U98e8MBCb
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBDcJABFsb
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnio0pdlFuU
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmtjJk66Tj
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6EbRlSIBU
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP59nw2lnN
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdTYFLKOYV
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWlX1lUhfB
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1lFkhXqhG
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Ij2lRFqa
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVuGcl5bXV
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ubRxRZU51
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xtkO7VTMP
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6HS102cA4
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNAGQMVxLM
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxphynRyyis
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAf6ND3s1M
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFiJSDxMon
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcoyqEPPam
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7ZEBWZ3tc
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbJpvjGOmY
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVrkFWJgpa
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt6FjWLY2R
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4xt94jASF
“Haaaaaa!!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOxYwlEV53
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.

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3qL62RMKA
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6ufT6z0dH

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndwy5DzSUu
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNiRwSxjd8
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVruI9FdwCh

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEmOT8vKnp
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelIqV5F5lG
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToc2DCgWsh

Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB0akgYy7f
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlccYtuDjki
Kakarot: “It's done…”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGket8a44I
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdToAHvhZ4
Vegeta ascended into the air.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWYS2jOy0S
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ocEU7fh9D
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk66nQsjPm
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XKRwJQeC2
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4bMvskmZZ
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYO9MJLAfp
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ391IuAeLs6
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhEvh7p8Nx
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjlVh0lBrn
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglrlmn57av
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmah8IwMPm
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMRwWfRica
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHxwPcn0MO
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXryA4VVXH
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2IdiClTfR
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyYzhwU5px
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAQaouolHy
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T2HVHmn1x
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRpoha8E2p
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb46H2BmGC
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd7pxWmpob
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c2U3GmVVh
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRyAqj2X1o
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TQybNl0Ig
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHz2TaA5wV
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JyAxg5cFF
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXNY3KkNAR
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixFg7GjqUu
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQzTjoFeU7
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3BNUUmNmU
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXjD4E9BsF
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rhTEB0KYl
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrDlKuCNEu
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21NOwVqPS8
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sOFS09EFy
He looked at his fist in shame.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuS2O2V7fp
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY9MxZRshp
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3dwvIysj7
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OO69in6EC
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLghRdcyNO4
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLYex6Kpbo
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdx1uQFG2v
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuV3wve612
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlv4BjOK6E
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG6PchbnAr
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5geZoyoYf
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMW5oY7CGU
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp0CoDSfZi
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOlWfm40aR
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1E9xOiCIS
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..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaGlmk7es7
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEe2uiiTB0
Kakarot: “No…”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ1TxnKRBN
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOybFPtVm7
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FWjRs96FE
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRsLEDkyDt
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmMG1EoVHV
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6RDvG2Dhm
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGW0EySUBy
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SFGolRlVF
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVWV91cgTM
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CTwFK7fcA
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAgjvuCylF
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1zzPfXWTJ
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ua2wQbac
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Tu2dJph6
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILZUt9l78x
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VXRxYEGtS
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalt7n7wAg6
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBPzOJHWVK
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3XZnnvk1s
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbFa78H0Dv
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONJyIIwG9A
Raditz bowed down in respect.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrwJArQvN9
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAyhj3m4yh
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIr5ySvK9k
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTCwbMzYzx
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3zBmiYVlb
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGE2JmzSZc
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaRpN2KpKc
Raditz: “Right!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiA8qeNRdN
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfBuCMd6XX
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKM1ctMcUE
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRusNvRez0f
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32CWtXolPU
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0XdFf3Ih6
Tears ran down his face.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVuZTLuBss
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?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeBVLzFQxJ
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w0ZPygaBk
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KIYk33EuZ
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeayhD4DwPI
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkQVIXlHts
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MV38jhFYQ
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XOTIthCy2
Raditz smirked.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyljNgA71WX
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVcx13vm1Y
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ylI9A5vUJ
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5LaAOhhuF
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh6wTue1v8
He pounded the ground.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr2AZpDCLc
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbUlKCUQjg
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzJxdtjslp
Kakarot: “To fight!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG01K6EkPfQ
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Z4m0WB97
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuIYg3mEXY
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wIIOefYOF
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdmg2NlyGJ
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEOY4IhwHB
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv4y124jmz
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEvmwWLinS
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0pKu23hQc
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!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN2M2D86XI
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.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Ljixi5HD
Vegeta: “Wait!”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32ckolse6s
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46PvXSfQko
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl0mfnln5H
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WqPtIh9l5
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ0a3uu2F6
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBqg7d41Z7
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”

Shenron: “As you wish."
