Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzzCdoHHcmF
Bardock: “Working under you gave me the opportunity to be the warrior I craved to be, I can admit that, but I think I speak for every saiyan when I say we're tired of being under your watch. We were born to be free and fight for our pleasure! Not for your convenience! This ends now! Frieza!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPKFzD1Hzt5
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAuw1RzzD72v
Frieza: “No, no. He went through all the trouble of fighting off my soldiers and confronting me directly. I cannot explain why but I feel like I owe him this last duel. Perhaps then this monkey will realize his pathetic place in this universe when he draws his last breaths.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAeXq4Ged2ly
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAjcit6JhM7n
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABYGjLNfjxC
The saiyan warrior launched a fist full of fury and pride. The mighty emperor redirected his punch with a palm strike to his arm. Bardock turned right back around and rushed Frieza with a combination of fierce and rapid punches and kicks. Frieza had no trouble evading and blocking each strike. A smirk was firmly printed on his face, showing the saiyan who was truly in control. Bardock jumped back and quickly shot a ki blast at the tyrant. Frieza stopped the blast with his bare hand. The explosion was a mere calculated distraction from the proud warrior. The smoke hid Bardock's location, giving him the chance to deliver a full power kick to Frieza's liver, followed by a punch, charged with ki, to his face. The blows sent Frieza back a few feet. His smirk was wiped from his face, shifting into an irritated frown.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAg9Bl04wCl1
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAePAC0KQjRl
The emperor made his move, striking Bardock's rib with his pinky finger at a blinding speed. The saiyan spit blood and lost his balance. Frieza swung his tail, slamming it into his face, knocking more blood out. He struck him a few more times before piercing his leg with a small beam he shot from his finger. Blood gushed out from the wounded warrior's leg. He yelled in agony and held his injured area. The sadistic emperor went for another shot at the saiyan's shoulder this time.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbYt5UvhKPu
Frieza: “It's a shame knowing you're the last one standing from your side of this war. The prince is under my control and the remaining saiyans are nothing to worry about. The saiyan race has fallen!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWUZuEFI0r1
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcj9jRxfkeS
Bardock: “I guess I was right to think ahead hehe. You're wrong! The saiyan race will never truly fall! You may have conquered all of our remaining warriors, but there's one more! Kakarot! Remember that name! Frieza!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATAnYJcGk2k
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGUdShJQ1ut
Bardock accepted his fate, but he refused to die in such an insulting manner and let out one final burst of energy from his palm. Frieza raised his finger, generating a massive ball of energy that resembled a sun.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXFMK1yBwmo
Frieza: “My original intentions were to wipe out all of you monkeys with this war so I could salvage this planet for my own, but perhaps it's best that I make sure no trace of your once thriving society remains.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAW9bCREowvY
He lowered his finger, tossing the sphere at Bardock's direction. The attack completely disintegrated Bardock's final stand. With no power left to fight back, the last soldier of the saiyan resistance succumbed to his inevitable fate.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIaBjt9rCN8
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJCBm6Y9xYv
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUzZxC3b1EB
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxdnKHKD4Wx
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAirjbzCaUJj
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA64zOOkWcRI
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA039BkTtbv6
Commander Red: “How dare you pretend you have a moral high ground! You and I both know you loved every moment out there! You live for this…Kakarot!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkIR7Z7IQnW
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAH1dq4gaxdA
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEZULnyfxRh
The saiyan chopped the Commander in half with his bare hand. He crashed through the roof of the building they stood in and flew off.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAy44AWoO2h6
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaQuAGjTQaM
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
170Please respect copyright.PENANASCAsZbhe0w
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQFer4zJSAQ
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4IsnpMSSWW
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJvhPhbzPo6
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkKP29Nv6AQ
Kakarot: “My ear piece was damaged during battle. The martial artists from before stepped in but I finally settled the score with them. No one will ever hurt us again.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkEYNxI7vl0
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAB0MCrbIhV7
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWE94zTrUMV
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAL4nMR1BJT3
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlbXRpa4gHa
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
170Please respect copyright.PENANALYxMxQszhZ
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzIgdTiVo9F
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6c7tYIzfzg
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOd4pRbJqSh
Kakarot: “I have no interest in leading these people, they can do whatever they want as far as I care, just as long as we're left unbothered. We should start by thinking about our future.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATgq94Qn4HK
For months, the war between Kakarot and the earth's alliance had dragged on, many fell victim to Kakarot's might before the combined forces of the government and even the red ribbon army had fallen, finally ending the conflict. The best martial artists on the planet had their own turmoil with the saiyan but they unfortunately faced the same fate as the rest of his opposition. Despite the terrors that took place, a period of tranquility was achieved at last. A peace that would last for a few years to come.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAVMhgVXi51X
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAj1YZC4h3vl
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA47Jjt1Ii4I
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhMSlqNfvf0
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiac671Nmu9
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
170Please respect copyright.PENANADxGIjknbv2
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ4TorSuqA
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATXfAF1craU
Kakarot: “I haven't even begun to comprehend what lies beyond our planet, what goes on outside our universe was never really of my concern.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ5yrtYBBY
Bulma: “Well, I've studied quantum mechanics as much as I've studied engineering and there's theories suggesting the possibility of a multiverse. An infinite set of parallel worlds like our own but with minor or sometimes major differences.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7ynPh4u0nk
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAo2Y9rZqQbU
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtf3QcGIkdU
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqIV21go0xc
Bulma: “That explains a lot. This isn't just any vehicle though, once I get it figured out, this baby will be able to take us across dimensions! Look, I know we will never be able to undo the damage we caused, I've accepted it was for the greater good, but with this, we could go to other worlds where we exist and prevent this disaster! We can work together and create harmony so they don't have to live with our guilt!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaO2nYfBAub
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADBeAWkyefM
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkPxRB9JNW8
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQCmXhzLQ4j
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfIM0XKf4TH
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgJWOMnrQzP
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtEnIF6WXh5
Bulma: “You know how that boy is, he said he was going to pick some things up from the city, but I'm almost certain he's out in the woods again.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtByQC7ophP
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlSAt5p2w9D
Beet: “Haaa!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAjTZokxd4US
Beet kicked at the beast that stood before him, knocking one of its teeth out. The dinosaur remained determined and swung its massive tail at the child who just barely reacted in time to evade it. The dinosaur charged at him, chomping it's jaws at Beet. The boy struggled to escape every bite.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAf93hqrVfAY
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqS51nYsSG5
Beet was whacked by the creature's tail, knocking him over. The dinosaur opened its jaw revealing its terrifying teeth. Beet closed his eyes shut and covered his face, preparing for the worst. The dinosaur bit down, but to his surprise, there was nothing there.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAONJDIWAOoI
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xyxrc4hcK
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADb2fLKFsib
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzgatqWfaM9
Kakarot: “You're focused on the wrong objective. You can strike its head as many times as you want and it still has the chance to get up again. But-”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPWuzuBHJK7
Kakarot snatched the dinosaur's tail and tore it off in the blink of an eye. A big smile took over his face, overcoming his usual serious demeanor. His smile quickly faded as he saw the blood that leaked from the tail.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJXdxCBkZbT
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbK0PGoORmL
A memory of the bloodshed from the war that had taken place crossed through his mind. He took a deep breath for a moment. The dinosaur fled from the scene in fear. Beet darted after it. Kakarot snapped out of his trance.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7g4HmN6eMe
Kakarot: “Enough”!
170Please respect copyright.PENANADVT7wpuov0
Beet: “Huh?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANARxw10hOu8S
Kakarot: “I already got us a boar for dinner, there's no need to kill an opponent that can't fight anymore. It's broken beyond repair, don't carry the burden of being the one who took its life.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdK6bbWxQQG
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANACrotcRkZQz
Kakarot: “Everything we do is for survival. If we need to eat then we'll kill, if we need to defend ourselves then we'll kill. But that thing had nothing left to fight with. There's no reason to finish it off.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA88baFNZUZH
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIdqaHgPlam
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZEDaIZ8Y9u
Beet: “Right!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAt6Xi6qE10D
The family sat outside around a bonfire. The young Beet was tuckered out from his big day, he rested his head on his mother's lap, giving in to his fatigue. She caressed his soft hair and smiled. Kakarot kept his head low, pondering away at some troublesome thoughts. He caught a glimpse of Bulma staring and immediately looked away, hoping she wouldn't notice.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAI9s0mQqx46
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3TV7SGPbbC
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZNtex3s8SF
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvCbgP71WQI
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAz0fcDhDbpV
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXKMGDlHny9
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZZVVHFium6
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAyzsufpOkKW
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5rMzIdUAfo
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANASq6A6dKZdT
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOT2H23mBHp
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAyBie9gKuiu
Bulma: “Yeah, you weren't exactly a scholar per se, haha! Cramming in those study sessions must be just as new for you as it is for him.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIYCo9fdSrr
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYmI3Qfzruh
Bulma: “I love you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANASpWt2DCuda
Kakarot: “I love you too.”

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAugmdcRqZ89
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA0zLNR7KkFX
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcUisQIvceo
“Only a fool would continue this struggle, if we surrender to their commands, at least our people will get to live another day. I'm sorry, Colonel, call off our men.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKu9mayzQrL
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKtjVSkLCAc
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2N2HQWZuRx
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAyFbOfG2QS1
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJugwdeci3T
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7LDV3MdZA
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnooGpWuGuq
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1vlJiVCE5R
King Tuffle: “I have withdrawn my forces as you requested. We'll form an alliance like you desired and lend a hand in your fight. As long as you keep your side of the deal and let us be after it's all done.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsIGHW6y1iy
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmFnWcAtwsA
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3CyEeftsJb
Beep! Beep! Beep!
170Please respect copyright.PENANAT2dFWw62bl
“It works just how the rumors said they would. With this technology, tracking frieza's movements will be a breeze.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAysM6WStH0f
“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqUMthAVaQe
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAclOStz7olp
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3M4zjg8hL7
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAx3becXc5AF
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
170Please respect copyright.PENANApR3PSfNyJy
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMIqlBTiMD3
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAV5Sk6e2U56
Bulma chuckled.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6eF4NXg9n8
Bulma: “Well, as long as we get this baby done, do as you please! You know, I'm surprised you went along with this after all.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABd2Z9Oy4PP
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA18hIwsKV6J
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzRTiruZTxq
Beet: “Momm!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAivzVamJd61
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqtJ3aEZikR
The busy mechanic rushed to her son's needs. Kakaort returned to his work but was almost immediately interrupted by a shout coming from outside.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYaxyIERLHq
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7MUYwUMRxF
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
170Please respect copyright.PENANABJJFcpCxuu
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQYOsihRQGt
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAL2JLKWxOdl
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAt9PYAcxYKg
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfygw1bNT6T
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJeIFp2LQqf
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUkEi5uPB4h
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwxbUwjmEsP
Kakarot: “You're playing a risky game coming here and demanding to see me all of a sudden. I don't care what you're here for, leave my planet or I'll make you!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhovJb2LhAf
Raditz: “So, the planet does belong to you after all. That's good to hear. This will be a perfect base to rebuild the saiyan empire hehe.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAo7kCKph87w
Kakarot: “Enough!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUNXqdWKwRb
Kakarot flung himself at the unsuspecting saiyan. Raditz noticed at the last second but still managed to evade the frustrated warrior's attacks with ease.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsLIgzRYTiT
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhqKJLNo1D4
Kakarot threw a fierce punch which Raditz evaded at blinding speed. His movement played tricks on the saiyan's eyes, leaving behind only an after image with the real Raditz having already got a hold of Kakarot's blind spot. He smacked him away with a mighty backhand.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHqFsSecF2x
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMv8W4xQJVu
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAi7NoipR4L6
Beet: “Sir!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXRPA8bjiVy
Beet rushed to his father's aid, throwing a kick at his uncle. Raditz flicked the child away with a strike from his tail. Beet crashed to the floor, hanging onto his consciousness.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdSllYG2UEi
Bulma: “Beet!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArHv68a8VHk
Raditz: “The boy will be fine, don't worry about him. That look on your face, Kakarot, it's almost as though you've never tasted absolute defeat like this hehe.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAohnCAEJTYT
Kakarot's breaths were heavy, his body was petrified from fear. The feeling was instantly overwhelmed by a sudden rush of adrenaline. Before he knew it, his body stood, almost on its own. He rushed his brother once more, his blows were suddenly sharper and swifter than before. Raditz found himself putting in effort to defend the assault. Raditz blocked a kick with his forearm only to have it be immediately followed up by an elbow to his face. With only seconds to react, he stopped the attack with his palm, just barely avoiding contact. His eye twitched in irritation.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAr8LqBcA3Zj
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWkTBGD4Nrn
He drove his knee straight into Kakarot's stomach, ending his sudden burst instantly. Kakarot collapsed to the ground, his body refused to answer his demands, seemingly paralyzed. He gasped for air, struggling to speak. Raditz raised his hand, reaching towards the defeated man. Bulma yelled at him to stop as Kakarot flinched, accepting his fate. There was a sudden pause from Raditz. Kakarot opened his eyes again, only to see his older brother reaching out to lend a hand. Surprised, Kakarot used his remaining strength to force his hand up and got a grip of Raditz's hand. Raditz helped him to his feet before letting him go.
170Please respect copyright.PENANADWs3w7c2Hs
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJdcGAQBUat
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtQxAyGWdMe
Raditz: “That's right, I'm your older brother, Kakarot. It may seem a little jarring, but you're from another planet, one that has long since ceased to be. You were presumably sent here to conquer this world, although I never understood why planet 4032-877 of all places.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAuwBEh6cSjq
Kakarot: “I always knew I was different. The people of this world made that clear to me, but I never imagined I'd be from a completely different world.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAza8C3Dc2lx
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4rhKeXjI59
Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABaK8GXTTx7
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiY4Y2jph6G
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANARVefh5mRNk
Raditz: “Right, I should cut to the chase. My name is Raditz, sorry for not properly introducing myself earlier. I'm not here for some late family reunion, I'm here to recruit you, little brother.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAViC7T6l9wx
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAymZkFYxVlv
Raditz: “Our Race has long since been reduced to mere numbers you can count with your fingers alone. It wasn't by no natural causes however, our kind were victims of a genocide from a tyrant known as Frieza. He enslaved our people and forced us to do his bidding for decades until we finally stood up to him and waged war against him and his forces. As fate may have had it, our forces soon fell, the rebellion failed and frieza believed it to be easier to simply wipe us out for good. There were some of us however who didn't partake in the war, we were off on duty, unaware of all that went down. For years, Frieza deceived the remaining saiyans into believing a meteor had struck down our planet. We recently found out it was all a lie invented by Frieza to keep the remaining of us loyal to him. What he doesn't know is that neither of us ever took pride in serving him! But this isn't just about fighting for our freedom anymore, this is for our proud race that he dared to look down upon! Join me, brother, let us retake our honor by slaying this bastard!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAW7Qj7ogyKm
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAafKH4aj5pq
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJZiSUimLhR
Kakarot: “He took everything from you, my life is here, on earth. Besides, I've fought a war all my life, I don't want to jump into another one after we just reached a peaceful era.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEVNwmi2iqb
Raditz: “I see.. Well, then let me spend the night with you brother, just for us to connect a bit before I return to my comrades.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMRmssX7cqO
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAm0MelYrwQZ
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAR0HrEAyuK
Raditz: “You have my word.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3dvXlbgGn5
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAStaHydfzbF
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8EMiM3o7Ql
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZHaCrfjZHH
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7qhW48WHy0
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQDt2wrP6Nj
Raditz: “You worry too much, child, you're a saiyan like the both of us, a bit of a runt I'll say, but a saiyan nonetheless. You'll grow to be much stronger when you're older. Doesn't that excite you?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2iqPDwpA4H
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYIanxfGGVs
Raditz chuckled.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAK6BdWggXbq
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA25zPLx0z8q
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcrtf06HFfp
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAci67ETGWax
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAma3lUjjfW8
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxZ9NFjN23i
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXl9Vf8pgmU
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkxotsZ95dR
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJq1g2T7kDF
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3gbBgOPyWL
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
170Please respect copyright.PENANATzjFsMxqqF
Bulma: “Honey, I think I'm gonna sleep early. Don't stay up too late, okay? I still don't really trust him, it's best we get the day over with soon.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADE5sUMcvYf
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5HWfsK9w2Y
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAi6mrKHTDvY
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3Bguelwwx6
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtgsJiGPt4I
Raditz took a deep breath.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOttSFvu5Ec
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAH9ELG92aar
Kakarot did not question his sibling and partook in his request. The two left the house and walked out into the night sky. Raditz levitated high into the air and Kakarot followed. Raditz came to a sudden halt. He faced the night sky, illuminated by the countless stars, miles away.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAm12joztGGB
Raditz: “Take a look, brother, the universe is infinite. Why would you limit yourself to such a pointless, finite world like this one? Don't lie to yourself, this mundane life doesn't suit our kind. We're warriors! Born to fight!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAK8dXFUrcQY
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAptoNSYm3dO
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkxTT6FJSJr
Kakarot: “I've never faced much of a threat on this planet, I've never truly been pushed to my limit. Earlier, when you humiliated me in our battle, I felt something. A rush, one like no other. I was going to die and yet I felt more alive than ever. What was that?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADKcwmvoWyr
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzLsKODrioh
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3qSyBcquGC
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7jqTLBozjE
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADQowicLtHI
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOYTTQ5wzyp
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnEWm5gSLTf
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAe80VnfoVOe
Raditz: “Vaguely, I've heard about him before though. He was a powerful leader of an elite squad. Rumor has it, he was the one who led the rebellion against Frieza. Our father was a great man, Kakarot. Don't you want to take after his footsteps?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZKxRxcYfc0
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArP7fpHKIXr
Raditz: “I leave tomorrow, I have an extra pod you can take so you can tag along. I can take you to meet the prince so you can join our alliance.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtPljwDO2Xb
Kakarot: “The prince?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAad1a2FU1CS
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAo9z6As1XV0
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7FCIoRR5nR
Bulma: “I don't understand! We're finally at peace and now you want to run off into another fight that isn't even your own?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAVibU7efmML
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAX10w0CpDHY
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsaeisWYAtY
Kakarot: “….”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMqTXQU8pB6
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAeIug3BAE37
Kakarot: “For most of my life, I was neglected by the earthlings, I was different and there was no one to guide me through this unwavering sense of inferiority! They're like me, I want to meet them, I need to. Besides, I can't shake this feeling that this is my calling.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAl9SMeDdMmA
Bulma hesitated to reply.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAohU2uTjeHz
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzRLJIgFXeI
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAP6hOh6UlMf
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
170Please respect copyright.PENANADDlAytQ525
Beet: “Sir!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEDmtO8Na2q
He came face to face with his father.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiNEboMnSeV
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAjyO0Z84tb5
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
170Please respect copyright.PENANArFzPT0zPA5
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIYYiVsM2fI
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmAhRsqF5BA
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfsCyY5Oow8
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANARVap5weSM5
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhToC65i2Jl
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAno3jqKFNkz
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYE0MLBKMNz
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlszVWJwfmu
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3ocoTMHXj
Raditz: “Well, aside from me, the other two saiyans are Nappa and the prince, Vegeta. Unlike us, they're top level elites with the prince being the absolute most powerful.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA842YMJ1PyH
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA38zbGdEs94
Raditz: “They are, especially the prince. He's the strongest saiyan in history! They're both proud warriors, like me of course. You're on your way to becoming one of us too.’
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfrbY2v8gC0
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3jquZOXHz
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAl4urZGq0J4
In the span of a few hours, the pods arrived at their destination. The Prince and his comrade awaited their arrival, preparing to greet them once they landed. The pods crashed into the designated area, revealing the two saiyans aboard them. Kakarot fought to keep his composure, but couldn't help but smile after gazing upon the mighty warriors that stood before him. He approached them, taking a knee after reaching them.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnryK2HdTkx
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAY8O68ZbQrP
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAx0FEpG5BnH
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAujtOBpQHO0
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoSoHVOBgtL
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfOeDbmFx3Q
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADUlF89RGKH
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwr6cVkXzp9
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdbX6Hki50n
The prince hesitated.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAWGjb9sy4P
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAwDPGxHDDw
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdJTjbHNkqq
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3LLf3mhmCe
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMDJIQKKYB7
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAu1hOEzqz18
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbqX8r6yV26
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtMFAjwQeOm
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfyQG0gWWiw
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHRfkbueu0s
Kakarot examined his surroundings, quickly taking notice of the highly guarded area. The soldiers that surrounded them didn't appear to be saiyans, but they wore similar apparel. Aside from small animals and critters, no other signs of life were present. The vast land ahead of them was empty, only them and the soldiers occupied the space. They entered a large, elegant building with huge pieces of glass art, depicting an unknown civilization of people. They came to a halt in front of a throne with various seats. The prince took his rightful place on the throne as Nappa sat on a seat right beside, displaying a sense of authority. Kakarot and Raditz took a seat on a more mundane section, next to the Colonel in command of the Tuffle army.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQD7DMoeVJM
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWm7u3iBmbi
Kakarot: “Yes, he told me about Frieza and what he did to our people. I've agreed to help you crush him on behalf of the saiyan race!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAB8rN2ASFKP
Vegeta: “You've got spirit, but it's going to take more than that to defeat this scum. You see, aside from his troublesome power, Frieza also wields a powerful army. In order to get to Frieza, we have to get rid of that pesky army first. We've made an alliance with the Tuffle race, he who sits beside you is the commander of their military in fact. Having them on our side is a big help, but we can't be too careless, we need to recruit more allies. Until we get the remaining forces, we must lay low.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmWQyaRqRcv
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxPKT3Qj8SS
Vegeta: “We've been eyeing a planet known as Tatsu. We hear their kind are great for combat, and legend has it, amongst them is one they call Amaterazu. If he's as strong as they say, forcing him to submit to our leadership could be just the advantage we're looking for!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkI1bCOC9in
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAE1ZZhUpcrR
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvUq3YLbsRv
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaach4p8qup
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZANQdE60JP
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnrprUWKgvx
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANARJL9792yzf
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHOPtOP2Y9x
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANApPESAxqrIr
Vegeta: “I'm having doubts about your little brother, you sure his mind hasn't been corrupted from being away from his people for that long?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEJrTX1Gcrt
Raditz: “I'll admit, he's a bit of an oddball, but you know me, Prince, I can get him on board, just trust me. Take him to planet Tatsu with us, I'll work my magic.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKuDZaxwVsV
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANACtySuYH03h
The pair made their way back to the room where the rest waited in silence. Vegeta took his place on his throne, continuing his speech.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAG3gfIbpvHv
Vegeta: “Ahem, like I said, we'll be paying the Tatsu race a visit. If luck is on our side, they'll be just what we need to turn the tide on Frieza. Until further notice, we can't make too much commotion though, if Frieza finds out we're plotting against him, it's over. Now then, prepare your pods, we're leaving at noon. You're all dismissed.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPfHNd0ZXSg
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
170Please respect copyright.PENANApsNI7g4Czo
Kakarot: “Raditz, are we really going to kill all of them if they don't comply? What good would such an act even do for us?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQEAa5L7VO0
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9UOGAzofiY
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAB4pPZawctl
Raditz: “Listen, if we let them live, there exists the possibility of Frieza getting to them and getting information we'd rather he didn't have. We can't take that risk. It's just another sacrifice in the name of the greater good is it not? It's not their fault we chose them, but it's not our's that Frieza enslaved us after killing our kind. In order to win some, others must lose some. That is war, for someone that has lived in one all their lives, I'm sure you can understand it.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAB29bLENoBD
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnSIfe0qIJt
Raditz: “Now quit your whining, this is going to be your official, first real fight. Aren't you excited? Don't you want to feel that thrill again?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ5poONvSM
Kakarot's mood took a sudden turn. A smirk fueled by excitement lit up on his face. He clenched his fists as if the mere thought of battle pumped up his adrenaline.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGBmkAsrTsk
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYYltNJS8tg
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAS94I5gmjY7
Kakarot: “Please, brother, let me have another go, even if it's just for a few minutes! I want to fight! I want to be a great saiyan like you, and like Prince Vegeta.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWV2I5m6T0z
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7NJzokCGCR
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8iiF5CRAPB
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiO1WwZnQc0
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAW8cgyIsQQN
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfmegnVvyNI
Raditz: “Hehe, what can I say? Can't help being strong! Hmm… there might be a way for you to hold your own y’know?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABr7zEAqzsl
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbLK0LTtyTw
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzYsVPIOwko
Raditz raised his hands just above his shoulders. His ki surged into both of his palms, forming purple shaded ki spheres. He released them, shooting forward dual ki waves. He detonated them before they made contact with their surroundings.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAacKzTC9aBt
Kakarot: “What was that?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdh035gVaSG
Raditz: “That's my special move, I call it the Double Sunday. By focusing your energy into a single point, you can let out an attack with more power than your average strike. It took me a while to master this technique, but with practice, you should be able to come up with one of your own.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQZB7ygZlBo
Kakarot: “You never cease to amaze me. Tell me, brother, if Vegeta is the prince, then where do you and Nappa fall in the hierarchy as the last of our kind?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6YsfisrdV
Raditz: “Nappa has always been Vegeta's loyal goon. That bootlicking bastard serves as his right hand man, unfortunately, he has the power to back it up too. I, however, am working my way up to a similar position. The prince has been considering giving me a permanent role in the royal force.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcM6lnT0h42
Kakarot: “That sounds great. I hope it all works out for you. I, on the other hand, think Imma settle down with my family for good after all of this is over.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxZRjqreSgU
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAR5dV9mCJvX
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3XpO8wHiO0
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiq8HkaGtF7
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArCHpUoAgqL
Raditz: “You're thinking too much about it. Stick around for longer, in time you'll find that all you seek is here with us.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHMWG7vXXjj
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3npUAr3L9
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqfNpkWJggo
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdIPqN4xCbo
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAVCmEZGQLQv
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAETq0GAPCOO
Vegeta: “The Colonel has set the coordinates in our pods. The Tuffles also placed some new upgrades to these sweet rides, we'll get there in no time so be ready.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAR4WV5x8vjf
They all nodded in approval to the prince before entering their pods. The ships took off at blinding speeds. Kakarot observed the vast, outer space in astonishment. The wonders of the countless worlds beyond his own planet never ceased to amaze him. Before long, the pods crashed into planet Tatsu. The squad left their vehicles to confront their next targets, but to their surprise, the landscape was deserted. Not even the slightest sound of a small gush of wind was audible.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8nQ1ii9VPu
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAX12FvICKsa
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWBrTnrHdYw
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoF6pBHPnN6
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6P38MsNzg8
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
170Please respect copyright.PENANASAPy0nCe5Z
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAj2owI6ymnQ
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYrk8BU1lCo
Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJZmcE97UaV
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9q5IvmGXdp
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANApdrbTcSb6z
The eyelids of the creatures twitched. Their joints cracked and snapped out of place before restoring themselves back into their original form. They all turned to each other.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6FLHyM1vKC
“Your foot is on my tail!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKm89lcJttY
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiGHIRji5Qc
The two creatures swung at each other. Their fight created a chain of events, causing more needless fights amongst each other, before long, they were all partaking in a huge brawl.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWfl1JAa2Wu
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEKHWNWWPcF
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZ39QCznEZo
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAd7wt2TlItG
Vegeta: “This is your chance to feel the true thrill of battle. Join us, we're about to show these fools a real rumble! Let em have it, boys!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAI23Owuzuw
The mighty prince smashed into a group of the battling creatures, blowing them away with the sheer force of the impact. Nappa lifted his fingers, generating an explosion that took out another bunch. A free for all battle royale commenced. Kakarot hesitated, he watched his comrades partake in the fight, feeling a sense of guilt for their actions. Raditz approached his brother.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAL52W60EHGY
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADVleaeXFCm
Kakarot: “Could Frieza even hope to interrogate these guys? What information could he even get from people as barbaric and dumb as them? We have no reason to kill them anymore.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQPIClJxx2B
Raditz: “They're lowlives that serve no purpose to us or even themselves. If we don't do it, they'll just kill each other regardless. Stop listening to those stupid ideals the earthlings instilled upon you. Your mind is telling you no, but what does your heart say?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArP0Hq4jb5p
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzLsBZlA9iB
Raditz: “You're neglecting your own desires for something so meaningless. Go! Be saiyan! Show your pride! Us saiyans will conquer together, let them know that! I'll catch up with you later.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQCCvvvX4Li
Raditz rushed to the battlefield in hopes to get in on the fun. Kakarot observed his fellow saiyans, watching how they fought. The prince made light work of the toughest of creatures, mercilessly ending their lives with single and swift blows. A smile overtook his face with every victory. Kakarot clenched his fists, fighting his urge. The unsuspecting saiyan was caught by a sudden blow to his face. The punch sent him to the floor. He snapped into action and returned the attack, knocking his opponent into another Tatsu, stumbling them both over. They caught their balance and set their targets on Kakarot. Without hesitation, they rushed the novice saiyan simultaneously. Kakarot struggled to fend them off, taking blows left and right from both. One of the creatures punched his gut, staggering the saiyan. His arms fell loose. His blood began to pump again, faster than before. A rush of adrenaline took over his body. He used the opportunity to catch and hold the creature's arm down and countered him with a powerful headbutt. He followed it up with a ki blast that blew the creature into pieces. He dashed to the other enemy, striking the bottom of his jaw with the palm of his hand and used the opening punch a hole through his chest. He immediately set his sight on more nearby opponents as the options were seemingly endless. He jumped into a hoard of the violent species and fought every single one at once. He took multiple blows in the process but returned just as much. Guilt, regret, love, hate, anger, all sense of emotion had lost its meaning, all but one, the overwhelming sense of excitement. He took blows from different angles all at once, the damage didn't slow him down as he leapt into the air and shot a ki blast that created an explosion which blew away a chunk of the hoard. One of them jumped out from behind, preparing a devastating attack. His efforts were intercepted by Vegeta who chopped his arm off and kicked him away. Kakarot turned around, realizing the prince had just saved him from potential danger.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA69v6VDcFO8
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6XJEusyGMo
Kakarot smiled.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAk6ygPiVXl5
Kakarot: “Understood!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUyBZ7OD9C4
The two leapt back into action, taking on the hoard, side by side. They fought together in a flawless sync, their fists complimented each other's style, fighting together as though they were one. The ground trembled once more, more violently than before. The Tatsu species halted their combat and began to flee.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQAYKzd6ebz
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsuR6huMiXt
A similar looking dragon humanoid emerged from underneath. He was noticeably larger than the rest. Flames burned throughout his body. His presence alone disintegrated bystanders. Sympathy was a foreign concept to the beast as it had no trouble smashing through its own people as it approached the saiyans.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMHBQhNSv11
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAy5DEUHk9zb
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAM3Cj0dqyCS
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArPtAoCrLW1
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZXfTGmX0mE
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA41pmdG3PfH
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKdTBE5O5NX
Vegeta chuckled.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6GCcUN2Uzr
Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAseI5LwvN5c
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAjHPpjp2iws
Kakarot jumped into action, pouring down a flurry of various strikes. Modora blocked each attack, delivering a powerful backhand in return. He knocked blood out of the saiyan and shattered some of his armor. Modora grabbed the staggered warrior and smashed him to the ground. His grip remained firm as he continued to slam Kakarot against their surroundings a few more times. His scorching hot skin left its marks on the saiyan.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAak8H14puuh
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhyrO57YITo
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkWDO3Q8lcm
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANANt6JExuy4c
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcLi3DwoMLU
Modora tossed him into the air, he engulfed his fist in flames and slammed it into Kakarot. The powerful blow shot the saiyan through the sky and straight to the ground. He stood up, visibly injured. His breaths were heavy, but to everyone's surprise, his smile remained as strong as ever. He charged back into the battle with no doubts or regrets. He rushed the dragon beast once more, this time, sneaking in a precise jab to the beast's forehead. He continued the assault with a kick to his neck and ki blast to follow it up. Modora slid back a few feet. He was in disbelief with the sudden shift in power. Kakarot's body screamed in pain, but the mighty warrior could only hear the loud thumping of his heart, fueling the adrenaline that gave him life.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsSD6hst1nR
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAM02oMdkG3x
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMfrbrvOsgO
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8gNhxICm46
Raditz: “What the hell? His power level is growing!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwpqDfOui6d
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7ioi85sOFh
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzH8W2zh4Bk
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoA5rIqp9uJ
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAorPv9txomK
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIbtmi9MBd1
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWmT25zlMJW
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAO53JdTLSAE
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAi2HPA2z0o0
Modora levitated towards the sky. He raised his palm into the air, where it engulfed itself within a ball of fire only slightly larger than his hand. Kakarot remained on foot. He raised his hands, aiming them at his enemy. They gradually developed a purple glow, sparks of overflowing energy emitted around the glow. He lowered his hands and clenched his fists before raising them in the same position again, letting out two purple beams of energy that circled around one another before merging into one larger beam.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtFZKjlThRE
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAs7tL0LlBOE
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEWdcwQx0OB
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAeFF2NjLPFz
The attacks crashed together, Modora's flames were put out almost instantaneously. The mighty beast suffered heavy damage from the blast and collapsed to the ground, steaming from the heat of the blast. Kakarot's eager demeanor faded. Raditz approached his brother in both shock and concern.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlfaG6qJ7V2
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATXvRmvoggF
He took a peek at his injuries.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdjSUlEchBu
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAP9RM4qb1kp
Kakarot: “I don't know what happened back there, but it was exhilarating! I never knew this is what it meant to be a saiyan.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA0ve3Gx1EZl
Kakarot raised his arms in the air, he savored his victory for winning had never felt so rewarding. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIh83SWcSGA
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtBBY4V81t5
Vegeta: “I think you've made us all proud today, boy.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZecp63rMsN
Kakarot accepted his superior's compliment with a smile.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAncT579UxaF
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
170Please respect copyright.PENANAz6H63ENhwg
Raditz: “Kakarot! Look out!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATG2UW71VK2
Kakarot: “Huh?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHGX1D5iSF1
Modora ascended from the ground with no warning, landing a clean slash with his claws on Kakarot's chest. Blood gushed out as Kakarot collapsed from the off guard attack.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAovvFbJ9SPV
Raditz: “Why you!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEmMim1PO60
In a mere instant, the angry warrior smited the weakened beast with a single blast, leaving nothing behind. He rushed to attend to his injured sibling. Raditz held him up.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvo37NUNVvR
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8OKgorwMyR
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7qlcipa19W
Kakarot: “What… What h-happened?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA77YLdBX3kW
Vegeta: “Save your breath, boy. Get him to the ship, if we make it back in time, he'll be able to make a full recovery.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAG5zDeO1t2H
Raditz: ‘Right!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzhsfdiiQmh
Raditz carefully lifted his brother and took him aboard.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWcgF2nTfRr
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWgHK6p2Le2
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATEOKRCeVjY
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6XfOVd0TTs
“This doesn't make sense, he could have easily taken a full power blow from that thing head on. Why did a simple attack like that nearly do him in? Hmm..I'll have to look further into this later.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmVh99qrgzC
The ship took off, heading straight back to planet Plant. Kakarot was immediately rushed into a room with medics as soon as the ship landed.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHP1zV2hWkq
Doctor: “There's not much left to do here other than a few stitches and basic medication. Are you sure his injuries were as severe as you claimed?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8qrNMhjXDV
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAB0Ua2JkbJo
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAD5abSQ4xUK
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqLu2S3nUOG
Doctor: “I will sir.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAb0I7bgvq2Y
Raditz left the room. Kakarot rested for about an hour before regaining full consciousness. He stretched out his arms. His joints felt relaxed and more flexible than ever. It was almost as though his injuries had never happened.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4338M2ljVa
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAARHfqva9VD
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6ikmnFd0k
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHt4JN6jJBP
Kakarot: “I see. I don't feel anything though.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEvRZ3qJT87
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhXin2aW5uL
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhLmJdbSazt
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3CI8GRNpqZ
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKbuFap2KBl
Raditz: “Cool it down a little. This is going to be a long process, we can't just rush into another planet without knowing if there's anything of value.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8ao60a7r6g
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAarxvAqmYcA
Raditz: “I've had that idea too, Frieza would never suspect we'd be hiding out in such a low value planet. To most, your world is useless, but to us, it has all the resources we need and more! But why the sudden change of heart?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABmNhmuKVdk
Kakarot: “If I'm being honest, it's not really about the saiyan empire for me. When this is all over, I'll head back and leave this behind. But if I bring it back home with me, bring you guys home with me, the thrill won't have to end with the war against Frieza. I don't want to leave you guys, but I don't want to leave my family either.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJql5ahJBZL
Raditz: “If all goes well then you might just get what you're asking for. I still don't understand this obsession you have with your wife and boy though.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlro6qiJppJ
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJDQ4JBxeck
Raditz: “Of course not! Saiyans are born for so much more than that, we only mate to breed more warriors. I couldn't care less what happens after that.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABPjLJmOLsP
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2n8gAHXP54
Raditz: “Yeah, you sure do.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMhEEAlXkMv
The brothers shared a laugh together.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAf9i5yVEgOd
Beet: “Sir!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAZq9p3lHx8
The boy eagerly rushed to his father and greeted him with a firm handshake. Kakarot smiled and patted his head.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA67fRSxHQwa
Bulma: “You came back sooner than I expected.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAb4VPP00xIc
Kakarot: “I couldn't stay away for too long, so after some consideration, my brother and I convinced the others to migrate to earth. That way we don't have to be apart throughout the process.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdx5Bcn24uo
Bulma: “Wait, what? You brought them here? Are you crazy?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA0vcbT03c73
Kakarot: “They're great people, I promise! I trust them with my life.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAH8gC50tx18
Bulma: “This isn't just about you anymore! I want to be able to trust them with mine and Beet's lives too!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKbcIqp53LK
Bulma looked over at her son and gently patted his shoulder.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA52f4NzJCzr
Bulma: “Go play outside okay? Let me and your father talk.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArGyrYAFzzT
Beet: “Yes mom!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAM75GaeKk3U
The little boy made his way out, trying not to acknowledge the tension in the room.
170Please respect copyright.PENANADGpZ7YF5ZE
Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIW4ErH7aUB
Bulma: “I'm not convinced, we've achieved peace and yet you insist on bringing the fight back to us. When does the violence end?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAp8n9jq2M9U
Kakarot: “When we win.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7NXHovzeuC
Bulma: “And what considers us the winners? What happens when survivors of their conquests come looking for revenge?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdJxV0094cQ
Kakarot: “I’ll stop them.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgN8lMoa6k1
Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAuL1Xo1HpJQ
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGZnMHLPPjW
Bulma: “It is when that desire puts us all at risk!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOMyx3ThQuy
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFCDmIjGFqN
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzpMrEG6GrC
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3eBKYUynQk
Kakarot: “Beet!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8TRO8Sdtjo
Beet: “Yes, sir?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArcbSpo848U
Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAs142KN9cKA
The boy struggled to contain his excitement and followed his father. Kakarot picked him up and swooped into the air, flying to meet up with the other saiyans. They flew past some damaged cities with frightened citizens running around.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ds5np8WTi
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAY0TDWfYqZr
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3HITaAPo1g
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANASvLGS1o1wh
Kakarot: “They'll be fine. Humans tend to fear what they don't understand. Our family won't cause any harm, they're here to help this torn planet. You'll understand when you're older.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6bOEHJS6uK
The boy simply nodded and watched, incapable of shaking the uneasy feeling from the sight. Kakarot descended near a large space ship, surrounded by soldiers. Beet held on tightly to his father as they walked past the intimidating army. They reached the entrance to the ship.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAS9CxY1ndc0
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArChTC8PZQU
Kakarot: ‘My apologies, I had some other business to attend to. As you all requested, I've brought my boy. Beet, these are the last remaining saiyans. They're like you and I, you'll learn a lot from them as I have.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAk5rAF7gyZx
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8C5liBS3d
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9eqGaz3fm
Beet: “I'm Beet! I've heard a lot about you guys, you're all so awesome in person!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgvn2ozbw83
Nappa: “I like this little one!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZeko0dG2KK
Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhOQVLvFFoC
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2MufUJvWEb
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAyXnvsX70e6
Vegeta looked down at the cheerful boy.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGHvCPCVy8S
Vegeta: “Raditz, I'll give you the honor to test the boy's strength yourself.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA10SHjHHxSu

170Please respect copyright.PENANAgqSEiuYH6R

170Please respect copyright.PENANAR82tlX42Yg
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcGghvA6w9z
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANACZHPJ5G8xb
Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1qv8ESldMX
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA69F9u9tyDH

170Please respect copyright.PENANAZxu1jQYiHk
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcn3YXg6oA7

170Please respect copyright.PENANAefI4iNeqdy
Raditz: “I will..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAa1Jrx6NyCH
Raditz turned to his comrades.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9qKMG5OLvA
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwkMTqjbqfR
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlaN2JPxjyT
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAf1hQ3COu2A
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhj5Jy0ZFjh
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEqsNu7B3AP
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzvTUODMEin
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANARICn5zTKOy
Beet: “I will, Sir!”

Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAS5HyprLsgS

The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAV6IFq2z1xT
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAALAmlzBtLB
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFcJFZOTVHR
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfY5tAl6FqE
Raditz’s scouter went haywire. A powerful wave of energy burst out of the young hybrid's mouth. Raditz's eyes widened before jumping out of the way at the last second. He slowly looked up, immediately noticing the damaged wall from the blast.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPHIqFBu1y4
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q8gtGYVan
He gradually lifted himself up, still shaky from what he had just witnessed. Beet fell to his knees, his body could no longer take the punishment.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKYRX5S2spJ
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAa7hoxmosL
Beet: “O-Okay.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA00oU79wNpN
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqOZ5bYcYWR
Kakarot: “What happened?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXlyJNhWKf6
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXxBNF6w80g
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAehMBmINmH0
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYbefYwbEsY
Kakarot: “Fine.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlKifD73Sr5
He stared at his brother for a mere moment before taking off with his son. Raditz made his way to Vegeta's personal room inside the ship. His thoughts ate away at him.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAn19PGqLddo
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJ83QO6xBmS
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaCFCvOx2Jy
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWS4XxDS94C
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2qsdHpmx1e
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdk6n4TmthR
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfrXd4kB26j
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAeYswZ2PPzz
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlqnCADbd4l
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvRVIkkFev5
Vegeta: “The spot you seek is still open for anybody who proves their worth. With that being said, I have faith in you Raditz. I know better than to trust your word, but your actions speak louder, so swear your loyalty to me and I'll continue to keep you in mind as my ears and eyes.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANALhq8iXKOFI
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABV2DemweaM
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWMSkvhEj3a
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqFPfXAokAI
Vegeta: “On the contrary, it means he has both the potential of an earthling and a saiyan combined, and that's not even considering it's the boy of a low class like Kakarot.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOq6nG5mbYl
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAw6rmXAqal2
Vegeta: “You're a sharp one, yes I did. If the rest found out they could breed warriors more powerful than myself, my role as the prince would be diminished. I'd be seen as a joke. I'll have to birth a son of my own to take my place before that. For now however, we won't have to worry about that, I've discouraged any desire to spawn new warriors. Frieza is our only priority. The only lingering issue is Kakarot's boy.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQylFDWdIbV
Raditz: “You won't have to worry about him, sir, he can't use that strength at will. It will be a while before he learns to muster up that power on his own.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHN9oCY3woG
Vegeta: “I see, time is on our side for now, we can continue to focus on Frieza, until then, can't let the others know about the power hidden within the hybrid, I trust you'll make sure it stays that way.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANARytKARsQ7X
Raditz: “Understood.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANASjl4bCy3VK
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAVcdX6gFuk
Raditz departed from the room.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAl7Y1Ol3OYg
“Haaaa”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAov8ZFkByV5
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAID6F6Y77to
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADgyHVSvqMQ
Kakarot: “Right.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPEMHQPqbEK
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUxxWdpXXAa
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADRPdk4HVF4
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAA6eec8WAMC
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAuFFCLjPmic
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUv57MteQYT
Time would fly as the saiyans battled their way through different civilizations, recruiting while simultaneously ending many. Their conquests would take a short pause in between.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiCY0eFXXja
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5I3jdcZhts
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArswPm2hlbm
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHcaekrSZYQ
Bulma: “The man of the house is gone for months with no warning and he's the one who gets to be upset. You stop by less and less every time, I don't even know why you still bother to come at this point since you're probably going to leave again this same night!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAX2cBy4l2uD
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAv8s4CgaOTt
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsByvCi0aOm
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAV5NNruXzmi
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABS3B9Rekci
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1XQkp6Ta48
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4DUYsOTyTD
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmrmvxYvDpS
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5GwKE7U46v
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAW0t3UetxA9
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAE0USuVmfDN
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA90LCapWmja
Beet smiled and hugged his father. The sun couldn't have set sooner as Kakarot stood near the door, preparing to leave. Beet slept peacefully, unaware of his father's absence in the room.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcvAJ6ddsrr
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKXfLu43EMA
Kakarot turned around.
170Please respect copyright.PENANABjjbZE73h3
Bulma: “What happened to you? You're not the man I grew up with. Kakarot is a loving man that fought for peace. He was a man that protected and provided for his family, a loving husband and father. Whoever this us right now, I don't know you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWkAevj841x
Kakarot: “I was everything you needed me to be because you gave me what no one else did, I never once stopped to consider who I wanted to be.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4TmRA9zhov
Bulma: “I only wanted to make you happy and to make you feel safe like you did to me on the day we met! You saved me from the red ribbon army after they tried to kidnap me for my inventions, you remember, right?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADjLd0ZAPeU
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYQz4N9So87
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA68c0buHw1T
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAi2zDoJ1ciZ
Bulma: “You know what's the worst part of this all? Everytime you leave, there's this look on your face, this-this thrill! It's been making me start to think that you actually like what you do out there.. But my greatest fear, is that maybe, you always have.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABGLyjdXkBN
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAa1xmvznVXa
He turned right back around and exited the place he once called his home, flying away into the distance. Bulma took a seat on the nearest chair and broke down into tears.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmaYnv3ta3D
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFVdfzzXy2n
Vegeta: “Alright boys! The time has finally arrived! We've gathered enough troops and have raised our own battle power significantly throughout the process. I can comfortably say we have a shot at destroying Frieza once and for all! Colonel!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6lb9ZtWupj
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABGSbWeUqkV
Vegeta: “Prepare the troops and run the plans by them again. Oh, and don't try any sort of rebellion against us this late into the party. I guarantee you we'll be the least of your problems if Frieza gets a hold of you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlcisoxBQD2
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAS6RnHTgzpO
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsoWw868DjY
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8aftXEwt0a
Raditz: “Getting too excited for this one might cost you. Don't take Frieza so lightly. Remember the plan little brother, we'll see each other on the other side once it's all over!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAE4aY7jvXRB
Kakarot: “Right!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAItTVa5WlLH
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAz2jRTtbsCj
Kakarot: “Yes?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6rsfYkNIAW
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWOHmZQ8zX9
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArBI3H8ygmN
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKlJ17cqY2b
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANALy5PygJYDI
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAukgYcqjbP9
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhGeFd2Z47X
Vegeta: “Raditz, head to your separate pod and take your leave at once, we'll group up in the ship along with the others once the Colonel deems them ready.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2S0CZFswlR
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA343ZzZOFDU
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANASBEetysBO3
Raditz turned to his brother.
170Please respect copyright.PENANATgpQIOZN3S
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADEcMIVEy55
Raditz: “Right..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABXkpA5QST7
Raditz took off with his pod.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAn0wPcXXQEz
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWEViZXquYq
“Let me take a look.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAApAHsnUr8Q
Beep! Beep! Beep!
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtHvS5UVyCA
“Oh, it's just one of those putrid saiyans. No need to worry, I'll go greet him myself. I just hope his hideous looks don't rub off on my beauty.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGpLBcZ5U8f
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
170Please respect copyright.PENANApH7tgbzn5A
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvrBN1fydfU
He bowed in respect.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiOwvk1BBUq
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMuxiFz0coI
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEIxC4zJo7w
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMYvmLQGAGP
Raditz: “I understand, however, I must clarify that these are urgent matters for we've gathered a lot of profitable planets and slaves for him. We have tons of eager customers awaiting his approval. Please, inform the lord as soon as possible! You wouldn't want to make him upset by letting such a big opportunity slip by him.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATYHFDqkai1
Zarbon: “Hmph. I'll inform him at once. My only conditions are that you stay by my side at all times, I cannot risk you pulling anything sneaky, I know better than to trust YOUR kind.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3C2dpAZkW0
Raditz: “As you wish.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYM1GOBw8aD
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFEmoTxqX1Y
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANACPHc8Y3x4b
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1f7lGO3K1m
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4zt4fHu5ok
Vegeta: “Okay, I'll run it all back at once so we're on the same page. Raditz will lure Frieza back to his base with his proposition.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4rUrTTig9m
Zarbon: “Take a seat over there. There's guards outside so don't even think of anything! I'll step out to let lord Frieza know about your request.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEgKsUvQp7m
Zarbon took his leave.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUOELHaTr8x
Vegeta: “Once he's got sight of Frieza's ship entering the atmosphere, he'll launch an artificial moon into the sky. That will be our sign to make our move. With this distance, the scouters can't track us but we can't track them either, so Raditz needs to be the one to alert us.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3ULE2lTFXJ
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
170Please respect copyright.PENANALqwy6pqlh8
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAM0AhsG0Xcg
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA96A7CM2woQ
Raditz chuckled.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWBPCKIX8nn
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANANI0ePmvucM
Vegeta: “We'll use the artificial moon to transform into great apes and hit Frieza with everything we've got! A surprise attack to finish him for good! Frieza never leaves without at least one of his right hand men, if we take him out, we get one of them too. Less opposition for us.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzDuogYFUST
170Please respect copyright.PENANAg34yXqrCrE
Beep! Beep! Beep!
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1tx3f9N5fO
Raditz: “He's here…”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAeMjTIlwgIA
Vegeta: “Once we've wiped that ugly tyrant from this world, we'll send in the troops to help us destroy what's left. Frieza has too many loyal goons that would stand by him even after his demise. No one gets out of here alive!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnHLgbe3w0u
Raditz took his stand and shot his artificial moon into the sky, smashing through the roof in the process. The commotion alerted everyone within the site.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAZNYVOETQ7
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9hfyDnXngF
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJZDynVZ5Ds
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhspmPZGUyi
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqMGtMEtNg5
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnijN6ePZ2l
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAm7rhMVP0Dl
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhOg6iU9DPC
The mighty trio shot forth their attack in union, obliterating Frieza's incoming ship, causing the remains to crash into the ground. They landed their ship and reverted to their base forms.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3MqwXNhRKB
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANALGjMRXyXwF
Vegeta signaled for the others to follow his lead while the soldiers they had recruited went on to finish Frieza's army of henchmen. They approached Frieza's fallen ship. Vegeta lifted the remains.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQzKufAvjrT
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAV8J19mlXw1
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZiXpCxvMsw
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHBCQz2BxR7
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvq9BM62mpP
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAprHB6S3D6d
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoPKRIvtrLT
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEOzpxQvT46
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAi1TDN81bbn
Raditz: “Damn it!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQc3xoCIBtk
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAK57qLiSrOj
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANApy6lbz4Zuc
Raditz shot a small blast at the ground, creating a wall of blinding smoke. He lunged himself forward at Dodoria, smashing him through the building.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5eCecbCGdr
Frieza: “I can't say I'm not impressed, I never expected a simian like you to be able to plan such a calculated rebellion. It's a shame things have once again gone south for you saiyans.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkCrAKUUfXC
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXdsLYqHhUX
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsx51nj4oRB
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgiDZSw3iyg
Dodoria shot a blast of energy from his mouth. Raditz caught the beam and redirected it back to the sender. Dodoria was blasted away and crashed to the ground. Zarbon approached from behind, going for a surprise kick at Raditz. The saiyan warrior caught on just before the kick connected and blocked the attack. Zarbon was left wide open which Raditz took full advantage of.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAF50YrSYzut
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAhXZst7eMd
A ball of purple energy burst from Raditz's hand, crashing into Zarbon. The impact sent him flying away. He recovered as quickly as he could and reunited with Dodoria.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAf4LPVRFODb
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqY2yCWuRBf
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOPVpuWtIQ0
Beep! Beep! Beep!
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtmH5Bpd8qw
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgxdD3uTLvn
Dodoria: “What is it?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsf2CZOxUpY
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFIHbF4kycX
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGsBMv6D8gz
Zarbon: “Perhaps Lord Frieza made the right move in eliminating their race, their ability to grow should not be overlooked. We have no choice! We have to fight together!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsf40bbcq1H
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1fWMWsnHQK
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHinWvogByx
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdqJUMrkm1T
The pair went forward with their assault. Raining down a barrage of various blows at Raditz. The saiyan warrior fended off every blow, but the overwhelming flurry left no opening for retaliation. He jumped out of their reach but they immediately tracked him with a united ki blast. He blocked the blast, taking no damage from it. He took a surprise kick from behind his head by Zarbon and suffered an immediate follow up punch by Dodoria.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzEMJgHZJWZ
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzi7TZqZ2Xl
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAG1O2gI6OWX
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAf66k3uIyIS
Raditz: “Keep talking you tub of lard, you'll be eating those words soon! Hehe.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqmAxEDbQHE
Dodoria: “Why you!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5R37MgYRyH
Dodoria charged forward with Zarbon following only a few feet behind. Raditz broke a chunk from the hill and crushed it into dust with his hand. He smirked and threw the left over rubble from the rock into their eyes. The impact shattered their scouters and blinded them temporarily.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7bibogoKmu
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAujsCvjF2Nm
The saiyan warrior struck Dodoria with a knee to his head. He followed up his kick with a blast that completely blew off his head, killing Jim immediately. Zarbon desperately rubbed his eyes, removing the irritation.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqkAvMyKZNQ
Zarbon: “Damn it! It's really come to this hasn't it? Take a good look saiyan, this is the last thing you'll ever see!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEZD8ns9MEx
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAf79UyC0yzB
Zarbon: “Die!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcC7NCbI5xj
Vegeta: “Both of you, stand back. Frieza is mine to kill.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA0Mmn5AYgPn
Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgChkJdRqal
Vegeta: “Don't worry about me. I'm fairly confident I can take him now.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3I2P5LKZYA
Kakarot: “We're counting on you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANARfkg3Jt1WD
Vegeta nodded before slowly making his way towards Frieza.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqy8HlDPIJE
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9pF1x5bNmm
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANASVy5Ev2cbP
Vegeta charged his energy, the entire planet shook in fear of his power. The ground trembled and mountains split. Without further hesitation, Vegeta darted to Frieza, rushing him with various attacks. The tyrant struggled to fend off the attacks, coming to the realization that the prince's gloating was more than just talk.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXUZL7Z4TKQ
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAHJJHWTrML
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAauQjLhHs5c
Frieza: “I don't need any more of your little demonstration. I'm aware now that if I commit to this fight I could come out on top perhaps, but the other monkeys would likely intervene and ruin it for me. There's no purpose in entertaining this any longer.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADiaOocR6uQ
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAX4RhhTlISr
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANASmk8Jt8F1d
Vegeta: “Huh?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAW8ubV4TGvG
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAo2e83k3uTd
Nappa: “I'm not sure! He's bluffing! There's no way he has another form!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATMUc5zJapL
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAyIGzC6SU06
Zarbon crashed his arm into Raditz. He pounded the struggling warrior, knocking blood out of him with each blow. Raditz retaliated with a kick to his face. He leaped into the air and scattered a barrage of ki blasts at his monstrous opponent. Zarbon quickly recovered from the attacks and charged forward, headbutting Raditz in his face. Raditz returned the attack with a headbutt of his own. Their fighting took a short pause.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8QeL3LWCly
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqiVfqZm4EG
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPWiMM8MkTa
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
170Please respect copyright.PENANADvvfJMItrY
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABuQlwKjX8i
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAeHcLMXjWmz
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAG9HRlxCdjy
Zarbon darted past Raditz, catching him from behind. He squeezed him tight, gradually crushing his bones.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA26dTgiA5JR
Raditz: “Gyyaaaahh!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaIyXYijU5D
He yelled in pain, powerless to Zarbon's grip.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0IJk6y8cp
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdI8lrYofRJ
The tyrant’s body went through a terrifying metamorphosis. His limbs enlarged at different rates and proportions. His power level burst through the roof, the saiyans began to lose their composure as fear took over their consciousness. Frieza ended his transformation, revealing his true strength.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7yw1QZJsWW
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdWnSVs4NG6
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaBEgJJoKkQ
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAr9yJDmRRx9
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANALEfBlysEMx
Vegeta: “You don't understand, fool, there's nothing we can do anymore..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWXLJXnFtt0
Kakarot: “Nonsense! We have to find a way!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZm32U1F2BH
Zarbon continued to torture the saiyan. His grip only tightened as Raditz grew more powerless to his might.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhYWkn81heo
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7YXSyzhgaq
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmWBhPKGb9e
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANALLaTWXjymC
His body grew as he morphed into the beast known as the Oozaru. Zarbon watched in fear as his opponent grew to a massive size. Raditz stomped on him, killing him immediately. He spotted his allies, noticing their struggle.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEQWNx8LzIy
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9yR6MHdm5I
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlO8PHjAFJu
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgp6sexKO6j
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoG09Aqxb7e
Without further hesitation, the others hit Frieza with an all out blast of their own, caught in between two powerful attacks, the mighty emperor suffered a devastating blow. The smoke cleared and Frieza collapsed to his knees.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUbnWzbAzmS
Frieza: “Y-You-”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqsiSo4JmTS
Vegeta: “Haha! The mighty Frieza has fallen to his feet at the hands of the saiyan race!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAX7PklokkBY
Nappa: “Poor bastard can barely even stand!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArZIdDlRQbO
Vegeta: “Give it up, Frieza!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcaC4EAv0Xv
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFcoHTj8plA
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2KOH2RA7oZ
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAI54ztwZce0
Kakarot: “Not again!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAs0kewQ8pYT
Frieza lifted his hand, creating an explosion around them. The force knocked them all away, providing enough distance for him to safely transform. He went through another change, taking on his true form. All of his prior injuries healed.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHtbaKKqYET
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAan15HQcd1p
Frieza lifted his finger, destroying the artificial moon created by Raditz.
170Please respect copyright.PENANACjqWM69zfA
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnZh1P4x8eB
Faster than any of them could track, Frieza shot a swift and small beam from his finger. Kakarot watched helplessly as the beam headed straight to Vegeta.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZTNzC19Gmz
Kakarot: “Look out!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4VESN1p783
He reached his arm out, desperately trying to get a hold of the prince and move him away. His efforts were pointless as the beam approached faster than he could close the distance. The laser hit, Nappa collapsed to the ground.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAteIynIS6tO
Raditz: “Nappa!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2EcxZbTeDR
Vegeta: “Nappa!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAC1IsIMSTIw
Nappa held on to what was left of his life, using his last ounces of strength to deliver his final words.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAM2X9kFB5XD
Nappa: “D-Don't let this… go in vain, Vegeta… Destroy Frieza!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJO67SQr67k
Vegeta: “Why would you do that?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQW5XQI80eO
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAENbpuVIxA6
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAy927qSh1Db
Kakarot: “He gave his all simply for a better chance at securing our victory. The least we could do is give nothing but our all to the very end!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAw3vEwIp6mM
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAjZiMv60lid
Kakarot: “On the contrary! We're more determined to kill you than ever!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATVcaCDHafP
Frieza: “I don't recognize this one, but he sure has quite the loud mouth on him.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZICZ0MfnrV
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATVnSxHRKpi
Kakarot commenced the battle by charging headfirst at the cynical tyrant. He lunged forward with a ferocious punch. Frieza dodged the attack with minimal effort. Raditz and Vegeta soon followed along, rushing Frieza with a flurry of attacks of their own. Frieza fended off the attacks with ease, demonstrating his sheer dominance. Kakarot continued his assault. The three attacked together in union. Explosions and bloodshed filled their surroundings as the soldiers from both sides continued their brutal war. Frieza raised his hand, he blew the opposing saiyans away with a wave of force. They retaliated with a ki blast shot in union. Frieza leaped into the air, evading all three at once. Kakarot rushed at him, swinging multiple fierce blows. Frieza dodged them all, returning a kick to his ribs. He spit out blood. The blow left him stunned from the pain. Frieza elbowed his cheek, sending him crashing to the ground. Kakarot shut his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth as he groaned in pain. He felt his broken body struggle to stand, and yet, against all odds, he stood. Vegeta dove straight in with a kick. Frieza caught his leg with his tail. He smirked as he watched the powerless saiyan attempt to free himself from his grasp.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkBK96Dc7Cm
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANApVKtJZNjmV
Vegeta shot a ki blast to the tyrant's face. Frieza flicked the blast away with minimal effort. He delivered a heavy punch to Vegeta's liver. He spit blood and gasped for air. Frieza tossed him into a building and followed it up with an explosion set off by his eyes.
170Please respect copyright.PENANASJfIpJy3zH
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAftRhN644Rm
Raditz unleashed his most devastating move. Frieza stopped it and dispersed the attack with a single hand. He flicked his hand towards himself, pulling Raditz closer with telekinesis.
170Please respect copyright.PENANASlB4S2Ug7G
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANACXK2VEcPyP
Frieza kicked his jaw, knocking him into a building.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAyvQe0cypfB
Frieza: “Such an anticlimactic end it seems.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANARtrHZgkjBy
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAy0DkpJHwLB
Frieza: “You again!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOoiN8eFweV
Kakarot's face dripped in blood, his gaze was tense and focused on Frieza and nothing else. His fury overtook his consciousness, there was no room in his mind for words, only action. He viciously swung at Frieza, his blows ripped through the air. Frieza blocked a punch.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAu91ZmhLPaB
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAB3aejdtyTC
He yanked his arm and kicked the back of his head, following the attack with a whip from his tail. Kakarot crashed into a nearby building. He burst out from the rubble, charging at Frieza yet again.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8gKmyqeG8k
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8HNQ2yrFPl
Kakarot landed a knee to Frieza's gut. He balled up his hands together and slammed them into Frieza's back. Frieza fell straight down but caught his balance before crashing against the ground.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAS73OSrRef7
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcuVBJHEzu2
He lifted his arms, large chunks of rubble went flying towards the saiyan. He smashed through them with his bare fists. Frieza used the distraction to land a mean headbutt to his face. He kneed his gut and punched his jaw. Kakarot was powerless against the tyrant’s onslaught. He took every blow head on. Frieza kicked him into a nearby hill, smashing it into pieces. He flew after the airborne saiyan, juggling him through the air with multiple blows. He delivered another punch to his face, knocking more blood out. Kakarot gradually turned his head back, pushing through Frieza's fist. He grabbed his arm and twisted it. Frieza yelped before getting punched in the mouth. Kakarot grabbed him from his face and zoomed to the nearest building, slamming Frieza's head into it. Frieza kicked him away, creating some distance.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAES6aZTVqwE
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIirUqGNmpB
Kakarot's pupils were bright gold, his power shot up as his hair grew. His might shook every nearest planet. Raditz looked up from where he laid.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxfGbCXj0Fq
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlQYphf3p77
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZIhsvLieE7
Kakarot breached the distance between him and Frieza, landing and uppercut to his jaw. He followed it with a hook to his cheek and a knee to his chin. Frieza blasted him away. He sent forth and endless barrage of blasts, each exploded upon colliding. Kakarot began to force his way through the blasts. Fighting through the pain. He reached Frieza who immediately backed away upon seeing him appear through the attacks.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvJq0hB46Fn
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdo9yGndFs6
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPQOsQbAzgh
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABk2VOyxs69
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
170Please respect copyright.PENANANnYa6uka98
Vegeta: “N-No. The super saiyan legend, he's supposed to be a golden warrior. This is different. It's hard to believe, but the one who stands before us is no longer Kakarot. Somehow he's managed to channel the power of the Oozaru without going through the transformation. Kakarot's been overtaken by his own strength, right now, there is no friend or foe, only combat.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAm6dhmT8X51
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2r4YA1yM1o
Vegeta: “I'm not entirely sure, but I've seen it before, a saiyan gets overtaken by their own power and leaves us with no choice but to be put down. I… I don't think we can stop Kakarot's rampage.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA16LZz7jBr7
The two clashed back and forth. Trading blows. With each blow Kakarot grew more powerful and terrifying. His body shut out the pain of his injuries, focusing all of its energy and adrenaline on the fight. He rushed Frieza with a punch to his gut, slamming him into a mountain, smashing it upon crashing. Frieza froze him in place in a sphere of energy and kicked it away like a ball. He repeatedly kicked it around before spiking it to the ground. Kakarot rose from the ground. His armor was shattered and his body was battered. He put his arms out and shouted. His power spiked as the planet trembled. He clenched his fists and opened his mouth. A ball of energy formed in his mouth. Frieza raised his finger.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxk7O5aZj4O
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAW0URqSPGBV
A massive sphere of energy released from Frieza's finger. He tossed it downwards towards Kakarot. Kakarot fired a blast from his mouth. The attacks clashed, each pushed back against the other. The force of their struggle shook planets and stars. Frieza's supernova was claiming the edge, gradually forcing its way to its target. Raditz leaped into action, launching a special attack of his own to push back against the world ending wrecking ball. Vegeta soon followed.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAR4b9OqUH2X
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQaQD8EzLKY
The prince unleashed his ultimate attack to support his allies. The three gave their all against the tyrant’s most fearsome attack yet. The planet crumbled, cracks formed on the ground. Soldiers were crushed by rubble or consumed by the planet's scars. Frieza's body bulked up.
170Please respect copyright.PENANANwTQcgrNhI
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcPZBcmhKfN
Raditz: “D-Damn! We're losing the struggle!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAC1IF4njSW4
170Please respect copyright.PENANAx02sIahcJ8
Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA75xrR01kSg
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAf7TnuhufJo
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAbGZrlMvr2
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAETce3hsX4x
“Haaaaaa!!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmrt5fzauFG
The trio used the distraction to find an opening in Frieza's attack, piercing through it and hitting the tyrant head on with their combined power. The destructive force of their beam sent Frieza crashing down.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaD5P2Rh24R
Raditz: “We actually did it…”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAt6ZLmNMvcu
Vegeta: “Raditz! Look out!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANASgEln0f0oo
Raditz: “Huh?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAv2KS6N1MAs
Before he could react, Raditz was struck by a mighty backhand from Kakarot.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAR2fa2OmU4X
Kakarot: “Rrrraaaahhhh!!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHNzERL4NCD
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAn2lxQe1wTL
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAW9DgSZK6fi
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2x6e6dgcFL
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
170Please respect copyright.PENANASNUdAavsM0
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAp2rqLGTdBA
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPG5f3iWz4A
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlah6BDu7SG
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvT445D16TA
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzTVqHXPK8y
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZcLeHqXmf
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAngUBAJGOxa
Kakarot: “B-Brother… I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4PVUmdpI6T
Raditz: “Oh shut up… I'm fine.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqaX1FqbkNd
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAyS9hOEDTgJ
Frieza used the last of his strength to shoot one last attack at Kakarot while his back was turned. Kakarot felt a new sensation, a 6th sense that allowed him to feel the attack heading towards him. He turned around and punched the attack away. He approached Frieza at blinding speeds. He stood in front of him for a moment, looking down at him.
170Please respect copyright.PENANACVNdvvOCmw
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAps6y9Pztxp
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUGKlQY1DNr
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAuo9FA2ENKC
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZtrtokBSs3
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1UyMi86nlZ
Kakarot: “It's done…”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsL0iJ1gSXN
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaDgSD7VmGz
Vegeta ascended into the air.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoBeL4vjMVK
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOCVN1v8saP
Their military began to retreat back to the ship. Frieza's men fell to their knees, some begged for their lives, others preferred to perish than betray their lord. Everyone regrouped in the ship. The ship took off into space, leaving not too far away from the atmosphere of the planet.
170Please respect copyright.PENANABPEDjzBVyd
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2qevo3Bz2
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHPh4Xb4Uht
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJGn0m9vjGZ
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2MOVof0Ubb
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
170Please respect copyright.PENANALmqSnvLo9h
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAJHoWNryM4
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZFpjWMTnXA
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkcR8utGHZQ
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAOYIsrkiWd
The Colonel smirked after securing his success and retreated to another room. Vegeta on the other hand, couldn't find it in himself to crack as much as a smile. Kakarot took a seat.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgBwBelZmb5
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoh9rLNKGAe
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFV9GNg1jhG
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEdvMaONu8A
Vegeta glared at Kakarot. His gaze was locked in on him for the entire ride back home. The ship landed on earth. After all the action, everyone was fatigued and mentally drained. They took the rest of the day off to rest. The next day couldn't have come any sooner. Raditz reported to the “Battle Station,” as per Vegeta's request earlier.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIlpw0MfWFj
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANARpZSgI53CS
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAX7QLZ1BvJa
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANANR217e8luo
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqTAkGfatVp
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHD5Gge9FW9
Vegeta: “With Nappa gone, his position has been left open. I'm providing you an opportunity to seal the deal for good and sit by me as a conqueror.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAV9CB2uM0NF
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKzxMEVPn5P
Vegeta: “I can read you like a book, Raditz, you're a notorious schemer. With Kakarot rising in the hierarchy, you've gained the perfect opportunity to seize the throne from me by his side and let your bloodline rule for centuries to come. But I'm telling you know, it's a plan doomed to fail.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAF7HzaNa1wx
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”

Vegeta: “Even now you play your cards to end up on the winning side. Kakarot isn't a leader like me, he couldn't even bare the responsibility of ruling his own planet after having conquered it. On top of his uncontrollable power, he's unstable and ultimately unfit to rule. Your empire would fall apart and eventually all that power would mean nothing. If you want to win, you stick with me.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAA4D1DwiiKA
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUuxOfPnCX9
Vegeta: “I know your real problem, Raditz. This isn't about you choosing which side benefits you most, you've simply grown soft. His earthling nature has rubbed off on you, but both you and I know that this mentality is his greatest flaw. One that will cost him dearly one day, one that will cost YOU everything. You're a saiyan warrior, you know what the right choice here is.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXwBXqqzrGb
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwEK8zjdXyO
Vegeta: “He has a soft spot for you, the same way you talked that fool into joining us is the same way you’ll convince him to leave for good. I can't afford having him show me up, it would permanently bruise my reputation. I need you to get rid of him one way or another. This is your final task to secure your spot next to me.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwvWyNIkoqa
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqxVy3nXpzY
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkIlVo2DFct
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAED9dSfJmh2
Kakarot: “I've avenged our people, I should feel great and yet I feel more conflicted than ever. Everything was great and now I'm back to square one.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFGFGWjE5o7
He looked at his fist in shame.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFYy3cD6n8q
Kakarot: “That moment, it felt so strange. Losing myself in battle is a common occurrence, but in that moment, I feared nothing, not for my life or even the life of my comrades. I almost killed my own brother. I'm lying to myself, the truth…. The truth is I loved it… but it scared me.. Bulma… Beet, they're probably still waiting for me. I haven't seen them for a while.”

170Please respect copyright.PENANAV43M74ZYav
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAf02RTN7NDN
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5oqR2YmxVl
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKXqFM6Lw4F
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAyQEJ0bW87P
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9WrGbRqNTU
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAIyks5kQhs
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABhfexVZxKU
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
170Please respect copyright.PENANArKBNVYF8RI
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANALfjtj6BfFF
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmF8Gzd2Faw
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAq9WaqyQFjH
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAVJbjPETMlR
Raditz: “One of Frieza's goons, Frieza had many connections… I guess they didn't waste time in tracking us. They damaged my scouter too, I couldn't get a hold of you sooner..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOm5S2mp16G
Kakarot rushed inside, disregarding his brother. He tossed aside the rubble that he once called his home. After some digging, he found Bulma and Beet, laying still on the ground, stained from their own blood.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1sc8TL94LJ
Kakarot: “No…”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtRSK8KQfET
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAa76PSKJLqb
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAASnU3dlc6d
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaw9rYdxOwP
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAy4dEThvxKw
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAruhAUE59I9
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA05ojiVjem3
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEzwt2VBARY
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlSjt9ldoUC
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6LV4nYJASS
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA09nEpNnVYl
Kakarot sensed an incoming attack but was too late to react. Raditz shot a blast through Kakarot's back from behind, piercing through his liver. Blood dripped from Kakarot's wound and mouth. He laid on the ground, struggling to move or speak.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAld3EzPx0M1
Raditz: “I really wish it didn't have to come to this, brother, but the prince is right, being around you made me soft, I had to let go of you if I truly wanted to succeed.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAns2UgW0NMC
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqxc2h8vlUc
Raditz: “Back then when we destroyed the Tatsus, I learned something. Our power levels drop in moments of vulnerability, even the weakest of warriors can fatally wound the mightiest in such a scenario. To think your biggest weakness would be your heart in the end haha! Let my words sink in while you draw your last breaths.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZSon37jVVW
Raditz flew away, leaving his brother to die. Kakarot helplessly looked at his deceased family, unable to speak or move properly. The rain left him colder than his body was already getting. He groaned in pain for a while before his groans gradually died out and his eyes fell shut.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgmP7mvo1qK
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWnqfSDkMG6
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmA9JVrouiG
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdX25cJtX0D
Vegeta: “That's what I like to hear! I'm a man of my word, from here on out, you're my right hand man.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHPQAPIcoJm
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4dQKJeH7eU
Raditz bowed down in respect.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsczHZKel5K
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHmcm2zz7qb
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGfP0e8k903
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkeDjhCkmMz
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZmvPlnRR9h
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdwKAhmgPC7
Vegeta: “Well, looks like we have a mess to clean up. In his condition, he won't last very long. Assist me, Raditz, let's make sure he stays down this time!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqT03eqp0E0
Raditz: “Right!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZP3gHpho8a
Kakarot: “I-I don't understand! What happened t-to the saiyan pride! We were friends working towards the same goal! What about N-Nappa!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXLtiRFQmMR
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArplgJi1tMi
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoPOG9xq6Ws
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlkRMc0AP8c
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJQR94YTFP4
Tears ran down his face.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8zimEeDNz8
Kakarot: “I gave up everything to be a part of you all! B-But you're just like everyone else.. power, control, that's all that really matters to you huh? Saiyan pride is nothing but a load of bullshit! It was never about Frieza or the saiyans was it?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwJV3eAWXZj
Vegeta: “Of course not! The strong survive and the weak die. Those not willing to do anything to remain at the top and nothing less, are mere weaklings simply waiting to die!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbeedtzRFHZ
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPSEM3fU5eh
He shot a blast at his fellow saiyans. They evaded his attack and rushed to attack him. Vegeta and Raditz attacked from left and right, overwhelming Kakarot with various combinations. He fended off the attacks but had no room to counter. Raditz kicked his injured liver, staggering Kakarot. Vegeta used the opening to land a straight right to his face. The saiyans kicked him away in union. Kakarot crashed through a wall from the building. They immediately continued their assault, following him outside, raining ki blasts on him like the rain that poured from the clouds. Kakarot struggled to free himself from the pressure, taking the blasts head on. He got a sudden burst of power and used it to hit Vegeta with an energy blast that knocked him away.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2X04SHsuDK
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA12CRRBoWRy
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA05UbADdhmD
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtyhrL9uaCl
Raditz smirked.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA71glAsP2a8
Raditz: “I w-wont lie to you.. I really did care about yo-u.. Br-other. B-But that love made me weak. The w-weak don't survive.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAugBciVfQgK
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxQS9dPXv4f
Vegeta came in with a kick that knocked Kakarot off of Raditz. Kakarot got on his knees and rested his hands on the floor. Tears ran down his face. He laughed hysterically while simultaneously sobbing in a disturbing fashion.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAygl868uAdP
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlyN2RM6Yun
He pounded the ground.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAicDvmWNdYJ
Kakarot: “I should thank you, brother, you've opened my eyes! Both of you have! I spent too much time caring about meaningless, worthless things. I'm Kakarot, the greatest warrior that ever was and ever will be! I was only born for one thing and one thing only!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAA2p3KHr5oI
His hair grew in length and his pupils turned golden. His eyes developed a red, deep outline. He stood up, his demeanor was more relaxed from before and he had no trouble standing.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnRJJYLPg4w
Kakarot: “To fight!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbAoiv3OGTO
He dashed at them, striking them both at the same time. He grabbed Vegeta from his face and slammed him into the ground. He then turned around and elbowed Raditz in his eye, followed by a knee to his nose. Raditz held his nose in pain as it leaked blood. Kakarot punched a hole through Raditz's gut. He spit blood, holding onto his brother's arm.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtFQxL66jY9
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3A2UQsqbRm
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIefKGsn4tz
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8fE1k2OE3l
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIPAByD3VBe
The prince launched a fierce attack. Kakarot deflected it with his bare hands. He rushed to Vegeta, ramming into him with a headbutt. He kicked him away and shot a blast to follow up. Vegeta came crashing down, struggling to stand. Kakarot dropped his knee into his spine.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAndQivITyy3
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAk36zxx011
Kakarot grabbed him from his hair and slammed his face on the ground repeatedly. The pain in his wounds diminished as his strength grew. He got off the prince and turned him around to face him.
170Please respect copyright.PENANASruMDOJfjf
Vegeta: “You don't… want to do this, Kakarot.. I didn't want to tell you… but we've discovered these magical orbs known as the dragon balls… I have one in my possession.. The plan was to use them to make me immortal, but we can restore your family instead, you won't be able to do this without me!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7j3ALzUGzp
Kakarot: “You still think this is about my family? Or even your betrayal? I've spent my entire life, devoting myself to other people. I spent my childhood wanting to be accepted and a portion of my early adulthood fighting a war to live a peaceful life with a woman. I dedicated the rest to a family and eventually to you guys. I thought this was all for me, but it was always for everyone but ME. But now, this isn't about the saiyans, this isn't about my family, or even about your betrayal, this is about me! There's nothing left to distract me from my real destiny and I've never felt more satisfied! So go to hell, Vegeta.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAneOcAo8V9J
Vegeta: “Wait!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAESXju41YGj
Kakarot finished Vegeta with a blast, leaving his corpse to rot. He looked up at the sky, showering in the rain. He smiled brighter than he ever had. The universe's greatest warrior had been born.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9AzomS9zxs
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAuNZP6cOkVf
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJrPidfTj6i
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZHp0DH62WG
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ic4VCzqPK
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgu6ScU0ucO
Shenron: “As you wish."
