Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI60AnZFNXO
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNkcBeHRZC
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjs431G8JE
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3kndSfcEl
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5m7v6QxKI
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqtOQgubJc
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gk6rR44qy
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXESkqsIBG
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzW7abhPLe
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc57ITvRgv
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBXwOSvBTI
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJECdrWNg9
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnWEWU8CGW
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8WZMNob4m
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ527VYISJDE
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFffqldQGA
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3JVRZlxIX
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2fwalUOkj
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZGacKDr0E
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy24AhmMzZ
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6au56PzQ0j
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG9akbz3tw
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYZEVw5m3J
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfoDpq9KH6
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fs22bCxcz
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3zb5gtmE2
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin9YBpJbNR
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapEozn0CSp
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPndUyo1Av
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFFU5UIkFx
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZsVQHFyYB
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadMU6XDt8W
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlKSYtUdiV
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTqRIl7Cr2
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoz0tRd6gP
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwhptELLXb
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkj1vX9l26
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHAMeM2sZK
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4dScwXx1g
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI20XnPLMK
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSAN3PT2dj
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGdyDEpHKO
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5DaERD3hF
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyNuAGRiZc
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR014e9FEyq
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJttB8l1oV
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JJ2922bn8
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESYxbzPZQw
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrgC051YFJ
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHJfitfuKF
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAfgLuDRjh
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52PZdB4V18
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTSgnr0IQ0
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KKNZ1rQkK
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzc011rNXv
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfxslSej06
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNva9zZFzmH
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ElhQlBmDV
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJziOlSukc
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUrY2p3hmB
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizajMni4Ow
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL7MiEme69
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQHYZn1jwq
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjB7HouAAn
Beet: “Haaa!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm5fcgLHKX
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnT5beerbZ
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjSc4CjsDp
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAEvrnx33a
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUDibbFRuN
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAOSiFtoBS
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy23uE7qMAx
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-”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQx7yoD5K6
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKEAhvoM2Y
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y7EdaSXjY
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkwByU67Rh
Kakarot: “Enough”!
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhS87gopR8
Beet: “Huh?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw9q033kjI
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapfxJJOAMo
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mNVwEnAB9
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWTaBuJSrF
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHekRyzbMsR
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJO6mk2HUV
Beet: “Right!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJACFP0BiRs
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC3uPAvUOZ
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3DzWhp5rA
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jqpQOonSa
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjJUD6CgNf
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgieWF4KdJ6
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQEMyLZERu
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFWRJdJWCJ
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x6TS5t98k
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgHig88Wyq
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTaBXtDhGK
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsVuszZYBq
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamoWMkGn8I
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglOATs1wkb
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE465QKUv0M

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

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWA5iXOJEQ
“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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECjb2lEYIM
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFDEyRaNEz
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgVwsjq89C
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWqHPVWjHq

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKciNzSdWK

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJyZjsrcqs
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1JkNCn63k
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJNay273y5
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rLVKgeo8q
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.

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYP1IOnzae

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAlxEBPUrW
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUz15tfSJD
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnUQlJqQBi
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pNdafETun
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39MCpPA6Rl
Bulma chuckled.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYnCTiJMu5
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUGjlX1R0S
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXKptB3OZY

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPbJW6GOC5

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mzSnSxmha
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HiC8n2sV2
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjsXVndCIs
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHJaKvJEfK
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5DCfCSy06
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDE9WB0Grz
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EyFmM9UYE
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtlTZOYiMb
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7hcixLgc0
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXv4b2rUms
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKdTKk1DuM
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4IlCvZxiw
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdadGRyoMEq
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ceut2EThv
Kakarot: “Enough!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLRvmVcoCK
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNeYW2vFqn
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpCJkgLlRx
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVvRnCwU1v
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jTky0tk6Y
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRrTloKtBW
Beet: “Sir!!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u6sxpvnzF
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvpEh0ctQ4
Bulma: “Beet!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MR84xQarA
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qDVF1n5cd
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClFQvcdELp
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV3seIjnuM
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFRgwqdOyo
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75n9DsqlGU
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7cPbWPixS
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOxwoOHIq7
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqcztWjGHI
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp9cFsAFnW
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.”

Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dEQSY0cll
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQrNB5X4Tl
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDIVS6rR9R
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqmeSV3ITP
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM1kDloMH2
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9IidYKLZE
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBiccge6KD
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA9bmaY1Pm
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe8Q7U3LoN
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg4suaKTKx
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2E4oXyJOu
Raditz: “You have my word.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L6xrgd6eA
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7wxhjsjiP
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGOFv8oLk2
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5uI840BHc
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwyhkV0PU0
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6g0kAnCvs
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEHolkP0lG
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixqbjoXZBX
Raditz chuckled.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrPRUvwvqB
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCU04xWGmg
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh5mMxoXFe
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye6K310i4T
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9w6W6ozGw
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQsTY6JYG4
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ16uE7gMiP
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS12NPSvxa
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLgGdIMOuX
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb8ITj6UJS
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDCTDaQjRn
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUgSrO5PVR
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifYRMGb1t2
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZSnNCvnzt
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpnkeTjtYc
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNMSJlbE52
Raditz took a deep breath.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9IRNjB71l
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY8XvgWGbi
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8BktPPlMv
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3t3VV7czA
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERZK0FHxmA
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KBt3cb9vt
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgn0f5m0pT
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgigGTFoJy
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfHLUbPyim
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEK3dFV2yT
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJdTp6ghGD
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBjSkoXZmX
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBx3KWgIk0
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rUPsx5a5T
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76HGEWxskw
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWfyQVO618
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdyh7DLuA3
Kakarot: “The prince?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjusHThWvF
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSDb0Xs2eN
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMFErVAc3S
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2ydUrwZvl
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxZWIDLBqh
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLoQ95AUhp
Kakarot: “….”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov7pZ66Ram
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIZHNOZWkC
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzn9IZbTvk
Bulma hesitated to reply.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYs5BqGJAb
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuROe2rxe3D
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnKdgQfjb0
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWUR2QRgm2
Beet: “Sir!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Mq76phRq
He came face to face with his father.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ZPDfUfLT
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHgzO4x6c1
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdNMBsz2sz
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz871sFYiKA
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGxwx5FCJy
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJaV4UpGsz
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbTTScpOLA
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zV6AnTaSA
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQxApYgajV
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrydgmnz1go
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT8bHLMcjj
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKp9tnVphu
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW8jxZOmKD
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45MaNxWsEj
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.’
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt0zyCveRY
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nZsO88LVh
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgRz7LZWEJ
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJj5O5c8dR
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoIkVZx3rR
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIHWaoGKCe
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7WbOBWda4
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg4MMxFNyd
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFOn5Y0MTa
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8XZwIJc0u
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEGymeMqdg
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1zulFCYxi
The prince hesitated.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKXNTwwbV4
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQaOR3ToLK
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vht0xnRjn
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgWIAGmBLz
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6n4Vulwa9
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrX8BbRP4r
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR89POukwkl
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPTjAGh61X
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8quw1qD8Z
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oaMAq15s6
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiudNTnvkOJ
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLpWFC6hsd
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RyuHjhm54
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CRwtjxIAK
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY5vNGsf1B
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54GaRwTULD
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfyiIiD4p3
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1loXHXyki
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqIVLjSmjk
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGRXRtyd8h
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVJIFoOMTh
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC1fWGzwPU
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFxgfjsjjw
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp17jj6abuX
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFO6oVf2yT
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgtnAjG39K
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHWXMdRm31
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw0ReXfDil
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8bH27coYe
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ558whm9LQT
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQHxqRoDAo
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ihMTLWhuw
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdyBiNuuQQ
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHzivBbF4S
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYCdLmQMIW
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82uWkhFVcB
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw2JliSnGL
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WlKr6oVSW
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6WTjM1lL1
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCaAqSpOq6
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeiNsOfa8p
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA19hpXnXJ
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfSbivXh9G
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SrGcUDNHL
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrH0Kdj7jx
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0HtqFnMkf
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ213BD1xMhJ
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s7eCTgWOl
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtqmvZXrpW
Kakarot: “What was that?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4FuvPUNeF
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRBHpGjATD
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjr1HJcNl9
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOxOkyndqr
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SdasORqHa
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9BSv6jOuR
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCQaiXQDzl
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENTTW11TpZ
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4q8WTknrJ
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dnrp9aACV
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchQkB002dX
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9RCDyrKcW
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49FfS3x5je
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt06IGoRodu
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrbBhpl58u
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3qNVNvCxd
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauGXg0DS4j
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SgHvQLcea
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FLA0Nbvsl
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVoj5bTZeO
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7hoVXw6qt
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6KliU7TTf
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cT0jNZdqG
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy0rlrbLwA
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaQlgKCR1h
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq4quqXtDi
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLKcsqPw7y
“Your foot is on my tail!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LjU2ODHhf
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSgtmpxZu6
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxzTzsZRxt
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY1YOqbO6p
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaUofxxjoD
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqZokEAjQg
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw5EGeckbg
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkxEh8D2Ge
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceUK7K14wR
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgPqwCYh3R
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK5fdtzpaT
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7cZ56Hwsz
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFrmL3Akuj
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7dKgjAm0G
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kan08hzrH
Kakarot smiled.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkt3zVHtjO
Kakarot: “Understood!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmunQbIfNmW
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3KLb2beHL
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqGPTY7gRP
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHSuclVuRx
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgLjf3iZzA
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rboCtv1ZI
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PBzp6AAiB
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdsyOHJ7e4
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCQvIAT4Lm
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUptZ9ZcBND
Vegeta chuckled.

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXw83B2fQZ
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWYe0VwY43
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJzEWrQOW5
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroFW6flV51
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpdyFkqxPA
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOLsGwyc4o
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8hXSDSvX1
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e24CeX6RV
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfsymi2nNk
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa5sYFUyOZ
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOarwUpPEJW
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj4sMf03Zo
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX93zXlzuQ
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrz5e0Iama
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H5k7sPbEk
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISCHAZViUI
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgHLejXFvD
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRe1ESTSfn
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FpBOBbtw8
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR8dNxeOjv
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0pr8T5kUK
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtaUyk4yeL

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1go3sdOa7
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKHDWlifEl
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7u6M9Yt5v

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm9i8Wv5Gz
Kakarot: “Huh?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtxYtDiPAy
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB2nlArgra
Raditz: “Why you!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MCyW5Owb0
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC8qjNQwLl
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewdguSYxbU

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvU9MgKgnp
Raditz: ‘Right!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GGWuEAGPz

Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqKKwcobFo
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiObe88Asd
“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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR7ADpLCFd
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUHQ3s4Xz1
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vd79qbevF
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJwbmRgXX4
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUDHdaWSMs
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWbpjOfF4e
Doctor: “I will sir.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj6UidzXeb
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYEFOAdUEH
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxpuwgs5kk
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1h1wieWgX

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46tqfyUnOX

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BTBCZD4G1
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9TJcmRBJX
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRrl3RMKi2
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaFERSgz2p
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9hUmjkidZ
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbctTwAKYNl
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkXN9MGoEJ
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQBIAkF6HR
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFhJt4Bd1v
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡars96Cx2kN
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouFCBjjTmC
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6rEli3VZB
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwTZD3EmJ8

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR1axilJuI

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EdWImlv5g

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSCQIHrG7s
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomBdKzszOz
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2Dzxqm7dg
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND5Wbjb3ve
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztKKej0PRX
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo7ehsf0IP
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAHkAnO9p4
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQNa3mYHff

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR8TljcYwM
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBbQZ8KlHz
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPtuioH7cC
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6suywhmzLj
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWseZvx7kN
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XaFJjh2RR
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzEnwKKidr
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhWP3G8tnE
Raditz: “I will..”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuC3QOqEhz
Raditz turned to his comrades.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOdtJ7VCJG
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9ZuUs2m1t
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI5T8DIdsP
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe29rbP6JZ
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgpsIapo1d
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrL83OaBzf
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNFL8FPL6W
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxApxK28FY
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWp0ku37YJ
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUYJhsyuZK
Beet: “Okay!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBgctggePo
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyunyuHTVA
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWmxjDWgaU
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yU2X6S2OT
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5eEQALiQL
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRschSmxuE
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9VUDYqxZf
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk7lpF9sen
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZcNKtjv5M
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzukjV5ezq4
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38qTeWdblp
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmaLAr4lQJ
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA63CeR0swZ
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2BnNUdhpx
Beet: “O-Okay.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4EqeO6CVY
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0mXtt4H8p
Kakarot: “What happened?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rqLuRFIMR
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jYydXseMK
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAKYq7AC0h
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi10FqREnE1
Kakarot: “Fine.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTPUOQxKlj
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXBUcw5Cub
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMB7SoaFNg
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlIOpLllca
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy4EUz3Blb
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hWl8hdVRB
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AhvzhkGlk
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQucKg82id
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAEtBsRm81
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR5D9RcmnS
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhrTk3XlHw
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3jipaCuU2
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vccxnI2xJ
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6BtHcRE8D
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPjWgu1I7I
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEI3EB0eU3
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWQXKhtRC8
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZP68QLTZA
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nkQmFPtpG
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbsQYKrQqh
Raditz: “Understood.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGzsi8g9fN
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgqyKqEmHh
Raditz departed from the room.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUdGXveYNX
“Haaaa”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgrS9XkifN
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB7WyfJRxG
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGG0DQbVC3
Kakarot: “Right.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFngxvrMcxT
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj2P7WH8Dy
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitA3eIx8TH
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCm5869kxg
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl0KvB2cVs
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Oz3a9bI5s
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrXBX7BJy5
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yRCDzVS34
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew1h7InSNJ
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zlCeYdLQN
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOkqpIV2Ga
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXZ1kyPgIO
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpngCkufc3T
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgqeTlO3vA
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg607ZEX1B
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc9zQNJs0E
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHoDka7F2W
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX7sVqDeVk
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODObLHys84
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH5mfn13be
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2JpwARVtP
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdBskka9EU
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihKBx1j3aI
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v5tZfeVv8
Kakarot turned around.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAT1MmCN2y
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc65oTEly0M
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cj1XNC8j9
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEZ4eD4IgE
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarwY7dTWfB
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6F4axsJaG
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjki6TbxHAW
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVd6At3G0S
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzuwKJnG7W
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoGckFiJ9N
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnJ7wMxjez
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYuzE4XWfq
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4UOdo35Zt
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnFkbuhwe5
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpAWtZPewQ
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkW8xVA1CW
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL27RkryL6K
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpobEqm67v3
Kakarot: “Right!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYqxlbmVlO
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Y4VuhUnQ
Kakarot: “Yes?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vSlnps2tL
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWQGQqFk2Z
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVtrWm6rSt
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl3Tkfk0lU
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EmqkRH6Db
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cj8eZ42IU
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFbwcQ3Ihn
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbWnRhXirz
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwN7j0Bp0y
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3daYSa8YmV
Raditz turned to his brother.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLeShnZDc2
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoxzmOphJG
Raditz: “Right..”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkzK4pGE1Y
Raditz took off with his pod.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRT3EgOhA5
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFqITRHGvZ
“Let me take a look.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFmkdbmNZM
Beep! Beep! Beep!
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6g4VssSs3
“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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJQT8IlhtV
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfujGf2GHi
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jYkbQkRdV
He bowed in respect.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln2GbUFaos
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ3sm9w8IS
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExEdTDD0AG
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8qJnU0iQ8
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHrhPMD0bq
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K7c4zs635
Raditz: “As you wish.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44JjZN6utV
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7Q1hb8yLH
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumhtLnScd7
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6YYMhwKjs
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGfDYrx0zG
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQicLPRDd8X
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDajRePnku6
Zarbon took his leave.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJYuS3PLQN
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz0xTi1jj6
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwzg5ygRna
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWZhPK115v
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGorQj1WnWn
Raditz chuckled.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgFREKHsiW
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60zvSNipXu
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR2F5I1Tg8
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUZXhhyI4N
Beep! Beep! Beep!
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51GYQ7vtpy
Raditz: “He's here…”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBf7yBxRmv
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3T5YkPO90
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9UADlhKfx
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHN3JoYaNN
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdWlpGUK5t
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv8Ap8JHlu
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgr3MBda7q
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCmn1r4prD
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatIg60BRqD
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyDbug0NIs
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4o3yGesJM
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzArGYxXEK
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JZ2c8M7Rb
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6CBGcSRQG
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFdaBPQvr6
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6tEFD2Roo
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT4v3QUVa0
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTM9aUyTmv
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU5XV7QVWz
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdcig8crNy
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZOIAAcYxp
Raditz: “Damn it!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFYC7oxkHl
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs1qUN3qWz
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOGnLBlrJd
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qRcNkMA62
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB48cCBxGP
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WgPmgAr5b
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9S5qIO7Yv
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p2sSOLfJ6
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGR15PBCH0
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAdJpLI1jZ
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa43JkrQl1
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5dVZddzsA
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbA3Pw4hKf
Beep! Beep! Beep!
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKedfUQU33S
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgXNwrvKMv
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLVp8GXvy6
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLZAslFtjZ
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN8lqWCYRz
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4zrYdvBYc
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjitiyckj8b
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq4vrJTRPH
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfEUJO9HtH
Dodoria: “Why you!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbRuvHieRP
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzsAS6Vuc8
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RxfBmV0Nb
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.

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!”

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheOOhtIJBe
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw6DAKuvRB
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCuCEbvVqv
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHndwUEFj8i
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pMelXSk1Z
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp46tFVkD0m

Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm5w3RUfzm
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.

Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVWdq93Djr

Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFstPAkaRdJ
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYuMTQksBj
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.

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

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWVyIR3JpT

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zPe4PAF5V

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUCPUYGRib
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVCSdoODjV

Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E0oVQ6jJE
Kakarot: “Not again!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5S2w9EY4m
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER9zdfnIFd

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfhoPTPfQc
Kakarot: “Look out!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN684CRUXZ
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.

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNX20K0RuX
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1XtlcKKkM
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUrwvSCaF8
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nOd5YLXd3
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZTCSQ5JTA

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErrbz505Q1
Frieza: “You again!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y8aAI2IeY
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wcQL0mutl
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tscNHWHm8
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.

Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCazF5Tw4B

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3kTvSTIkm
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBS84ckTAq
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgCiOWD7i1
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOysEzPu8QD
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMPIJhMYew
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH0DLfDPMB
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxw22afJB4
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMuvGW0Khs
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3WuUoIeJ3
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoPkCpuOoZ
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BxXgFJd3O
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ7uYBV1bg
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPkj3qtJP1
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83zN5aB5Rw
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsrQyECZva
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGaRHR1PAh
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdjpt0yWP1
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Ro7XTLrZ
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6qtPzmEXB
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQHhxQdGfZ
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTTTJLbYOe
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.

Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp1PeFvtsg

Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RVSirKBbO
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF5quM9upk
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19C90JwPfg

Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUksxiHLtay
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4hobIXZua
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSnXxhl9VV
Kakarot: “It's done…”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOsvKfoaYM
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzqiOexiwt
Vegeta ascended into the air.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4clhI7wc8
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAPcwFgs5r
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvURbYWyuL
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JIlMbuipE
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo6t608ylz
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQk41Xwzap
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasm8yszxtD
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn3sDkRxM0
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITWz1YbhZk
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH9zRh66es
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTty1G83HQi
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ225uBxM6kL
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbIqxqCQYC
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xybqD4GZh
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyPV8oaOIL
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XCWsg9GHR
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bq3iptqv5
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsC0PcLqNB
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXzLRHcUPH
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM8eCpjKnC
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2fGlav4I4
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOG0hkpObE
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBzNRw5bCz
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUkOnmPlz4
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0m7eDdji5
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zNHYECje4
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwawSDQQrY
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmeM0c0bSy
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTutPuENln
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPtQVSaYbR
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1hxkmTpcw
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ458W5F9SBA
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI3y52FJDg
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuQIjCgK2V
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNAr9VOAmf
He looked at his fist in shame.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJbwI9Eyeh
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda40G8l1w5
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXIPgrLYn3
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KN7zakfA4
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8a9HAxagi
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDtgDcb0R4
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDS0HhBWrD
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B7gYclaiv
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY0LRN0Km9
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCvNnNOWiW
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvpz64uwdE
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXHunxLsmO
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwHT1twfJS
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g8KiU3IbM
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fI2wUqnRc
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..”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPoiOtZT5i
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe1QEldBTL
Kakarot: “No…”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNds979zdip
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVpmG66K5z
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt7YxM80O9
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVDF2uT14g
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN5crKJean
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rd0TMryim
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvsgM0f32n
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ8uNrmaZe
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2Tq0mvMFe
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUC5NUMKTX
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS7j5angVk
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ESK2Cp1NO
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJBhd1Or0X
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5ALf94vK9
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHtO9CJGQC
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7VoFLTTEp
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4auHykx9IC
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMhJ3Cq4JI
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFKbdNkU9s
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp6fjRE2In
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSubUtwxXs
Raditz bowed down in respect.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4AfcAss8O
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1FCHPZYQ8
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYXPyZZJKj
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVpqy0pHRJ
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIac6bPaH6n
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdebRztFnaG
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3uQ27Y5Rz
Raditz: “Right!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYa95gGJNC
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdoP7jN53v
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU4iST21Yw
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBb9XtD3oH
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOg7iGH2H1
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqGjKe6G5S
Tears ran down his face.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7tgG7sql0
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?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXMQPDihPv
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnIUHJibcP
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0j0hNzry9
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrkXp6Z5LB
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNa3CDQnCH
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSId621OKue
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKyY0DCKMc
Raditz smirked.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XDRuEJQpw
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11uTlj3ZkU
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazATgFgooz
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmn5hhl2jP
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvhSnX89uT
He pounded the ground.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkiX9aKIsA
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRXi3cWtQT
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhCNx5BOE7
Kakarot: “To fight!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRd35c6Psy
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyc15veBPy
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrvonNYdcw
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrpqAWCKdb
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvdSJuWwk9
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cgb6Ube95
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Xvc4CimW
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8b88tIQPz
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglf4ubOYp2
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!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HexwjnD4T
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.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCc5Y5Qywl
Vegeta: “Wait!”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKyg0rvbji
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.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzeNjijLug
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8fUU0az8A
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs0nscnFw1
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”

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

Shenron: “As you wish."
