Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzCdoHHcmF
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKFzD1Hzt5
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw1RzzD72v
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXq4Ged2ly
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcit6JhM7n
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYGjLNfjxC
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9Bl04wCl1
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePAC0KQjRl
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYt5UvhKPu
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUZuEFI0r1
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj9jRxfkeS
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAnYJcGk2k
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUdShJQ1ut
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFMK1yBwmo
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9bCREowvY
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaBjt9rCN8
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCBm6Y9xYv
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzZxC3b1EB
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdnKHKD4Wx
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirjbzCaUJj
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64zOOkWcRI
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ039BkTtbv6
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIR7Z7IQnW
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1dq4gaxdA
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZULnyfxRh
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy44AWoO2h6
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQuAGjTQaM
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCAsZbhe0w
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFer4zJSAQ
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IsnpMSSWW
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvhPhbzPo6
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKP29Nv6AQ
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEYNxI7vl0
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0MCrbIhV7
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE94zTrUMV
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4nMR1BJT3
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbXRpa4gHa
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYxMxQszhZ
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIgdTiVo9F
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c7tYIzfzg
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd4pRbJqSh
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgq94Qn4HK
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMhgVXi51X
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1YZC4h3vl
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47Jjt1Ii4I
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMSlqNfvf0
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiac671Nmu9
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxGIjknbv2
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ4TorSuqA
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXfAF1craU
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ5yrtYBBY
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ynPh4u0nk
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2Y9rZqQbU
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf3QcGIkdU
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIV21go0xc
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO2nYfBAub
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBeAWkyefM
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPxRB9JNW8
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCmXhzLQ4j
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIM0XKf4TH
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJWOMnrQzP
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEnIF6WXh5
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtByQC7ophP
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSAt5p2w9D
Beet: “Haaa!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTZokxd4US
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf93hqrVfAY
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS51nYsSG5
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONJDIWAOoI
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xyxrc4hcK
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb2fLKFsib
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgatqWfaM9
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-”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWuzuBHJK7
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXdxCBkZbT
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK0PGoORmL
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g4HmN6eMe
Kakarot: “Enough”!
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVT7wpuov0
Beet: “Huh?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxw10hOu8S
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK6bbWxQQG
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrotcRkZQz
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88baFNZUZH
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdqaHgPlam
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEDaIZ8Y9u
Beet: “Right!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6Xi6qE10D
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9s0mQqx46
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TV7SGPbbC
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNtex3s8SF
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCbgP71WQI
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0fcDhDbpV
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKMGDlHny9
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZVVHFium6
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzsufpOkKW
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rMzIdUAfo
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq6A6dKZdT
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT2H23mBHp
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBie9gKuiu
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYCo9fdSrr
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmI3Qfzruh

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugmdcRqZ89
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zLNR7KkFX
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUisQIvceo
“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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu9mayzQrL
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtjVSkLCAc
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N2HQWZuRx
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFbOfG2QS1
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJugwdeci3T
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7LDV3MdZA
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnooGpWuGuq
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vlJiVCE5R
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIGHW6y1iy
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFnWcAtwsA
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUMthAVaQe
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclOStz7olp
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M4zjg8hL7
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3becXc5AF
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR3PSfNyJy
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIqlBTiMD3
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5Sk6e2U56
Bulma chuckled.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eF4NXg9n8
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd2Z9Oy4PP
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18hIwsKV6J
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRTiruZTxq
Beet: “Momm!!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivzVamJd61
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtJ3aEZikR
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaxyIERLHq
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MUYwUMRxF
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJJFcpCxuu
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYOsihRQGt
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2JLKWxOdl
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9PYAcxYKg
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfygw1bNT6T
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeIFp2LQqf
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkEi5uPB4h
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxbUwjmEsP
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhovJb2LhAf
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7kCKph87w
Kakarot: “Enough!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNXqdWKwRb
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLIgzRYTiT
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqKJLNo1D4
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqFsSecF2x
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv8W4xQJVu
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7NoipR4L6
Beet: “Sir!!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRPA8bjiVy
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSllYG2UEi
Bulma: “Beet!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHv68a8VHk
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohnCAEJTYT
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8LqBcA3Zj
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkTBGD4Nrn
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWs3w7c2Hs
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdcGAQBUat
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQxAyGWdMe
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwBEh6cSjq
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza8C3Dc2lx
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaK8GXTTx7
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY4Y2jph6G
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVefh5mRNk
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViC7T6l9wx
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymZkFYxVlv
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Qj7ogyKm
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafKH4aj5pq
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZiSUimLhR
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVNwmi2iqb
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRmssX7cqO
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0MelYrwQZ
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR0HrEAyuK
Raditz: “You have my word.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dvXlbgGn5
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStaHydfzbF
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EMiM3o7Ql
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHaCrfjZHH
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qhW48WHy0
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDt2wrP6Nj
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?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iqPDwpA4H
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIanxfGGVs
Raditz chuckled.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6BdWggXbq
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25zPLx0z8q
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrtf06HFfp
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci67ETGWax
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma3lUjjfW8
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ9NFjN23i
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl9Vf8pgmU
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxotsZ95dR
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq1g2T7kDF
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gbBgOPyWL
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzjFsMxqqF
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE5sUMcvYf
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HWfsK9w2Y
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6mrKHTDvY
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bguelwwx6
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgsJiGPt4I
Raditz took a deep breath.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOttSFvu5Ec
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9ELG92aar
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm12joztGGB
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8dXFUrcQY
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptoNSYm3dO
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxTT6FJSJr
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?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKcwmvoWyr
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLsKODrioh
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qSyBcquGC
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jqTLBozjE
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQowicLtHI
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYTTQ5wzyp
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEWm5gSLTf
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe80VnfoVOe
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?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKxRxcYfc0
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP7fpHKIXr
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPljwDO2Xb
Kakarot: “The prince?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad1a2FU1CS
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9z6As1XV0
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FCIoRR5nR
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?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVibU7efmML
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX10w0CpDHY
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaeisWYAtY
Kakarot: “….”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqTXQU8pB6
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIug3BAE37
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9SMeDdMmA
Bulma hesitated to reply.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohU2uTjeHz
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRLJIgFXeI
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6hOh6UlMf
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDlAytQ525
Beet: “Sir!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDmtO8Na2q
He came face to face with his father.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNEboMnSeV
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyO0Z84tb5
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFzPT0zPA5
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYYiVsM2fI
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAhRsqF5BA
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsCyY5Oow8
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVap5weSM5
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhToC65i2Jl
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno3jqKFNkz
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE0MLBKMNz
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlszVWJwfmu
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3ocoTMHXj
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ842YMJ1PyH
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38zbGdEs94
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.’
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrbY2v8gC0
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3jquZOXHz
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4urZGq0J4
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnryK2HdTkx
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8O68ZbQrP
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0FEpG5BnH
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujtOBpQHO0
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSoHVOBgtL
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOeDbmFx3Q
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUlF89RGKH
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr6cVkXzp9
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbX6Hki50n
The prince hesitated.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWGjb9sy4P
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwDPGxHDDw
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJTjbHNkqq
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LLf3mhmCe
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDJIQKKYB7
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1hOEzqz18
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqX8r6yV26
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMFAjwQeOm
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyQG0gWWiw
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRfkbueu0s
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD7DMoeVJM
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm7u3iBmbi
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8rN2ASFKP
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWQyaRqRcv
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPKT3Qj8SS
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI1bCOC9in
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1ZZhUpcrR
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUq3YLbsRv
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaach4p8qup
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZANQdE60JP
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrprUWKgvx
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJL9792yzf
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOPtOP2Y9x
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPESAxqrIr
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?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJrTX1Gcrt
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuDZaxwVsV
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtySuYH03h
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3gfIbpvHv
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfHNd0ZXSg
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsNI7g4Czo
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?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEAa5L7VO0
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UOGAzofiY
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4pPZawctl
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB29bLENoBD
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSIfe0qIJt
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?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ5poONvSM
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBmkAsrTsk
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYltNJS8tg
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS94I5gmjY7
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV2I5m6T0z
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NJzokCGCR
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iiF5CRAPB
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO1WwZnQc0
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8cgyIsQQN
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmegnVvyNI
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?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr7zEAqzsl
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLK0LTtyTw
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYsVPIOwko
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacKzTC9aBt
Kakarot: “What was that?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh035gVaSG
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZB7ygZlBo
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?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6YsfisrdV
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM6lnT0h42
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZRjqreSgU
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5dV9mCJvX
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XpO8wHiO0
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq8HkaGtF7
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCHpUoAgqL
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMWG7vXXjj
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3npUAr3L9
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfNpkWJggo
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIPqN4xCbo
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCmEZGQLQv
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETq0GAPCOO
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4WV5x8vjf
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nQ1ii9VPu
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX12FvICKsa
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF6pBHPnN6
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P38MsNzg8
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAPy0nCe5Z
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2owI6ymnQ
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.

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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZmcE97UaV
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q5IvmGXdp
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdrbTcSb6z
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FLHyM1vKC
“Your foot is on my tail!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm89lcJttY
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGHIRji5Qc
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfl1JAa2Wu
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKHWNWWPcF
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ39QCznEZo
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7wt2TlItG
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI23Owuzuw
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL52W60EHGY
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVleaeXFCm
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPIClJxx2B
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?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP0Hq4jb5p
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLsBZlA9iB
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCCvvvX4Li
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69v6VDcFO8
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XJEusyGMo
Kakarot smiled.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6ygPiVXl5
Kakarot: “Understood!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyBZ7OD9C4
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAYKzd6ebz
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuR6huMiXt
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHBQhNSv11
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5DEUHk9zb
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Cj0dqyCS
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPtAoCrLW1
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXfTGmX0mE
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41pmdG3PfH
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdTBE5O5NX

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHPpjp2iws
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak8H14puuh
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyrO57YITo

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWDO3Q8lcm

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLi3DwoMLU
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSD6hst1nR
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM02oMdkG3x
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ioi85sOFh
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH8W2zh4Bk
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA5rIqp9uJ
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorPv9txomK
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbtmi9MBd1
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmT25zlMJW
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO53JdTLSAE
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2HPA2z0o0
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFZKjlThRE
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7tL0LlBOE
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWdcwQx0OB
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFF2NjLPFz
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfaG6qJ7V2
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXvRmvoggF

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9RM4qb1kp
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ve3Gx1EZl
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh83SWcSGA

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG2UW71VK2
Kakarot: “Huh?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGX1D5iSF1
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovvFbJ9SPV
Raditz: “Why you!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmMim1PO60
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo37NUNVvR
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OKgorwMyR

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEOKRCeVjY
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XfOVd0TTs
“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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVh99qrgzC
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP1zV2hWkq
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?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qrNMhjXDV
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Ua2JkbJo
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5abSQ4xUK
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLu2S3nUOG
Doctor: “I will sir.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0I7bgvq2Y
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4338M2ljVa
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARHfqva9VD

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ikmnFd0k

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt4JN6jJBP

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvRZ3qJT87
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXin2aW5uL
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLmJdbSazt
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CI8GRNpqZ
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbuFap2KBl
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ao60a7r6g
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarxvAqmYcA
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?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmNhmuKVdk
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJql5ahJBZL
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlro6qiJppJ
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDQ4JBxeck
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPjLJmOLsP
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW4ErH7aUB

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8n9jq2M9U

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NXHovzeuC

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJxV0094cQ

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL1Xo1HpJQ

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMyx3ThQuy
Kakarot turned away to face the door.

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpMrEG6GrC
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs142KN9cKA
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ds5np8WTi
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0TDWfYqZr
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HITaAPo1g
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvLGS1o1wh
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bOEHJS6uK
The boy simply nodded and watched, incapable of shaking the uneasy feeling from the sight. Kakarot descended near a large space ship, surrounded by soldiers. Beet held on tightly to his father as they walked past the intimidating army. They reached the entrance to the ship.

Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrChTC8PZQU

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5rAF7gyZx
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?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOQVLvFFoC
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MufUJvWEb
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!”

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZHPJ5G8xb
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qv8ESldMX
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69F9u9tyDH
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxu1jQYiHk
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn3YXg6oA7
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefI4iNeqdy
Raditz: “I will..”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1Jrx6NyCH
Raditz turned to his comrades.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qKMG5OLvA
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkMTqjbqfR
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaN2JPxjyT
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1hQ3COu2A
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj5Jy0ZFjh
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqsNu7B3AP
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvTUODMEin
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRICn5zTKOy
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthGYEZB31P
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5wxVPrf8k
Beet: “Okay!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyE3TYwk02
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIH93v7dLO
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5HyprLsgS
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb6N0Dfe7O
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W7vr0moOo
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fo86F9skH
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6IFq2z1xT
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALAmlzBtLB
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcJFZOTVHR
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY5tAl6FqE
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHIqFBu1y4
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q8gtGYVan
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYRX5S2spJ
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa7hoxmosL
Beet: “O-Okay.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00oU79wNpN
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOZ5bYcYWR
Kakarot: “What happened?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlyJNhWKf6
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxBNF6w80g
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehMBmINmH0
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbefYwbEsY
Kakarot: “Fine.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKifD73Sr5
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn19PGqLddo
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ83QO6xBmS
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCFCvOx2Jy
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS4XxDS94C
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qsdHpmx1e
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk6n4TmthR
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrXd4kB26j
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYswZ2PPzz
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqnCADbd4l
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRVIkkFev5
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhq8iXKOFI
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV2DemweaM
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMSkvhEj3a
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFPfXAokAI
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq6nG5mbYl
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6rmXAqal2
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQylFDWdIbV
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN9oCY3woG
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRytKARsQ7X
Raditz: “Understood.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjl4bCy3VK
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVcdX6gFuk
Raditz departed from the room.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7Y1Ol3OYg
“Haaaa”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov8ZFkByV5
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID6F6Y77to
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgyHVSvqMQ
Kakarot: “Right.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEMHQPqbEK
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxxWdpXXAa
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRPdk4HVF4
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6eec8WAMC
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFFCLjPmic
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv57MteQYT
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCY0eFXXja
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I3jdcZhts
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrswPm2hlbm
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcaekrSZYQ
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2cBy4l2uD
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8s4CgaOTt
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsByvCi0aOm
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5NNruXzmi
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS3B9Rekci
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XQkp6Ta48
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DUYsOTyTD
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrmvxYvDpS
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GwKE7U46v
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0t3UetxA9
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0USuVmfDN
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90LCapWmja
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvAJ6ddsrr
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXfLu43EMA
Kakarot turned around.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjjbZE73h3
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkAevj841x
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TmRA9zhov
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?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjLd0ZAPeU
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQz4N9So87
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68c0buHw1T
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2zDoJ1ciZ
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGLyjdXkBN
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1xmvznVXa
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaYnv3ta3D
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVdfzzXy2n
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lb9ZtWupj
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGSbWeUqkV
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcisoxBQD2
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6RnHTgzpO
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoWw868DjY
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aftXEwt0a
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4aY7jvXRB
Kakarot: “Right!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItTVa5WlLH
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2jRTtbsCj
Kakarot: “Yes?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rsfYkNIAW
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOHmZQ8zX9
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBI3H8ygmN
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlJ17cqY2b
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy5PygJYDI
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukgYcqjbP9
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGeFd2Z47X
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S0CZFswlR
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ343ZzZOFDU
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBEetysBO3
Raditz turned to his brother.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgpQIOZN3S
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEcMIVEy55
Raditz: “Right..”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXkpA5QST7
Raditz took off with his pod.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0wPcXXQEz
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEViZXquYq
“Let me take a look.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApAHsnUr8Q
Beep! Beep! Beep!
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHvS5UVyCA
“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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpLBcZ5U8f
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH7tgbzn5A
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrBN1fydfU
He bowed in respect.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOwvk1BBUq
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuxiFz0coI
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIxC4zJo7w
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYvmLQGAGP
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYHFDqkai1
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C2dpAZkW0
Raditz: “As you wish.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM1GOBw8aD
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEmoTxqX1Y
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPHc8Y3x4b
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f7lGO3K1m
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zt4fHu5ok
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rUrTTig9m
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgKsUvQp7m
Zarbon took his leave.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOELHaTr8x
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ULE2lTFXJ
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqwy6pqlh8
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0AhsG0Xcg
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96A7CM2woQ
Raditz chuckled.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBPCKIX8nn
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI0ePmvucM
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDuogYFUST
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg34yXqrCrE
Beep! Beep! Beep!
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tx3f9N5fO
Raditz: “He's here…”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMjTIlwgIA
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHLgbe3w0u
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZNYVOETQ7
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hfyDnXngF
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZDynVZ5Ds
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhspmPZGUyi
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMGtMEtNg5
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnijN6ePZ2l
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7rhMVP0Dl
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOg6iU9DPC
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MqwXNhRKB
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGjMRXyXwF
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzKufAvjrT
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8J19mlXw1
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiXpCxvMsw
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBCQz2BxR7
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq9BM62mpP
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprHB6S3D6d
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPKRIvtrLT
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOzpxQvT46
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1TDN81bbn
Raditz: “Damn it!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc3xoCIBtk
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK57qLiSrOj
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy6lbz4Zuc
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eCecbCGdr
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCrAKUUfXC
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdsLYqHhUX
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx51nj4oRB
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiDZSw3iyg
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF50YrSYzut
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhXZst7eMd
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4LPVRFODb
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY2yCWuRBf
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPVpuWtIQ0
Beep! Beep! Beep!

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIHbF4kycX
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsBMv6D8gz
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf40bbcq1H
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fWMWsnHQK
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHinWvogByx
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqJUMrkm1T
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEMJgHZJWZ
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi7TZqZ2Xl
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1O2gI6OWX

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmAxEDbQHE
Dodoria: “Why you!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R37MgYRyH
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bibogoKmu
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujsCvjF2Nm
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkAvMyKZNQ
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZD8ns9MEx

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pF1x5bNmm
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVy5Ev2cbP
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUZL7Z4TKQ
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHJJHWTrML
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauQjLhHs5c
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiaOocR6uQ
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4RhhTlISr

Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIGzC6SU06
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QeL3LWCly
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiVfqZm4EG
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWiMM8MkTa
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvvfJMItrY
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuQlwKjX8i
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHcLMXjWmz
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9HRlxCdjy

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI8lrYofRJ
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yw1QZJsWW
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…”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBEgJJoKkQ
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9yJDmRRx9
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLaTWXjymC
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQWNx8LzIy
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yR6MHdm5I
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO8PHjAFJu

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp6sexKO6j

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG09Aqxb7e

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcoHTj8plA
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KOH2RA7oZ
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI54ztwZce0
Kakarot: “Not again!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0kewQ8pYT
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtbaKKqYET
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan15HQcd1p

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZh1P4x8eB
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTNzC19Gmz
Kakarot: “Look out!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VESN1p783
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.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENbpuVIxA6
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy927qSh1Db

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3vEwIp6mM
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVnSxHRKpi
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBK96Dc7Cm
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVKtJZNjmV
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJfIpJy3zH
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftRhN644Rm
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlB4S2Ug7G
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXK2VEcPyP

Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0DkpJHwLB
Frieza: “You again!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoiN8eFweV
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu91ZmhLPaB
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3aejdtyTC
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gKmyqeG8k
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HNQ2yrFPl
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS73OSrRef7
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuVBJHEzu2
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES6aZTVqwE
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIirUqGNmpB
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfGbCXj0Fq
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQYphf3p77
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIhsvLieE7
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJq0hB46Fn
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo9yGndFs6
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQOsQbAzgh
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk2VOyxs69
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnYa6uka98
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6dhmT8X51
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r4YA1yM1o
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16LZz7jBr7
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk7O5aZj4O
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0URqSPGBV
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4b9OqUH2X
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaQD8EzLKY
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwTQcgrNhI
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1IF4njSW4

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75xrR01kSg
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7TnuhufJo
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbGZrlMvr2

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETce3hsX4x
“Haaaaaa!!!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrt5fzauFG
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD5P2Rh24R

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNzERL4NCD

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2lxQe1wTL
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9DgSZK6fi
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x6e6dgcFL

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNUdAavsM0

Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG5f3iWz4A
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlah6BDu7SG
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT445D16TA
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTVqHXPK8y
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZcLeHqXmf

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaX1FqbkNd
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS9hOEDTgJ
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVNdvvOCmw
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”

Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGKlQY1DNr
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo9FA2ENKC
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtrtokBSs3
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UyMi86nlZ
Kakarot: “It's done…”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL0iJ1gSXN
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDgSD7VmGz
Vegeta ascended into the air.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBeL4vjMVK
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCVN1v8saP
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPEDjzBVyd
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2qevo3Bz2
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPh4Xb4Uht
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGn0m9vjGZ
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MOVof0Ubb
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmqSnvLo9h
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJHoWNryM4
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFpjWMTnXA
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcR8utGHZQ
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOYIsrkiWd
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBwBelZmb5
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh9rLNKGAe
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV9GNg1jhG
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdvMaONu8A
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlpw0MfWFj
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpZSgI53CS
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7QLZ1BvJa
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR217e8luo
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTAkGfatVp
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD5Gge9FW9
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9CB2uM0NF
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzxMEVPn5P
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7HzaNa1wx
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg1GaOLkHt
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4D1DwiiKA
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuxOfPnCX9
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwBXqqzrGb
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEK8zjdXyO
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvWyNIkoqa
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxVy3nXpzY
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIlVo2DFct
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED9dSfJmh2
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGFGWjE5o7
He looked at his fist in shame.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYy3cD6n8q
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjYJrN40F7
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV43M74ZYav
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf02RTN7NDN
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oqR2YmxVl
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXqFM6Lw4F
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQEJ0bW87P
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WrGbRqNTU
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIyks5kQhs
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhfexVZxKU
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKBNVYF8RI
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfjtj6BfFF
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF8Gzd2Faw
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9WaqyQFjH
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJbjPETMlR
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..”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm5S2mp16G
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sc8TL94LJ
Kakarot: “No…”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRSK8KQfET
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa76PSKJLqb
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASnU3dlc6d
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw9rYdxOwP
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4dEThvxKw
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruhAUE59I9
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05ojiVjem3
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzwt2VBARY
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSjt9ldoUC
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LV4nYJASS
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09nEpNnVYl
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld3EzPx0M1
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns2UgW0NMC
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxc2h8vlUc
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSon37jVVW
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmP7mvo1qK
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnqfSDkMG6
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA9JVrouiG
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX25cJtX0D
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPQAPIcoJm
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dQKJeH7eU
Raditz bowed down in respect.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsczHZKel5K
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmcm2zz7qb
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfP0e8k903
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeDjhCkmMz
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmvPlnRR9h
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwKAhmgPC7
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT03eqp0E0
Raditz: “Right!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP3gHpho8a
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLtiRFQmMR
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrplgJi1tMi
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPOG9xq6Ws
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkRMc0AP8c
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQR94YTFP4
Tears ran down his face.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zimEeDNz8
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?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJV3eAWXZj
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeedtzRFHZ
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSEM3fU5eh
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X04SHsuDK
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12CRRBoWRy
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05UbADdhmD
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyhrL9uaCl
Raditz smirked.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71glAsP2a8
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugBciVfQgK
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQS9dPXv4f
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygl868uAdP
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyN2RM6Yun
He pounded the ground.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicDvmWNdYJ
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2p3KHr5oI
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRJJYLPg4w
Kakarot: “To fight!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAoiv3OGTO
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFQxL66jY9
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A2UQsqbRm
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIefKGsn4tz
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fE1k2OE3l
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPAByD3VBe
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndQivITyy3
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk36zxx011
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSruMDOJfjf
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!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j3ALzUGzp
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.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneOcAo8V9J
Vegeta: “Wait!”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESXju41YGj
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.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AzomS9zxs
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNZP6cOkVf
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrPidfTj6i
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHp0DH62WG
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ic4VCzqPK
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."
