Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VImNWQ0MU
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnBHB3xruZ
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYtyZwKWc7
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5qWYkE1ns
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xNdeShNfE
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3zl7FSSVY
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCq2jw6hkt
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0KqDCsrma
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKVo6r2wds
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKa8cuJTEv
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcrX2TQU0V
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr666KakVm4
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OlBtBVAUM
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbAYetD9O8
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2srYb99GC
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41rG7dJk1S
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgnrrj7GvQ
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSinsqHON9
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFDJesghZk
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXfU6P1A1A
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIHzRkanuD
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY5kN1Gf7M
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc4xJruj7M
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWWQFqZHSb
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMIq0yHWpa
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8JxuUEqa5
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xJzgW2FXa
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1zGrCIAvw
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAwlhs636b
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjxK3wKsTx
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOFNMfEGWs
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0NLvBNo5w
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9uPuLXig3
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuVlOBkmbT
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBZPBpZS5z
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM4BAZDi4l
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNbg99cbTb
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGvNiKITZy
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U7TgGcZfT
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCJxzjWRPi
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSTNXfHtdg
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn8fm5MUiK
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1udPutFaxr
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbbvi9kSUp
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQHIa5wq6c
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH6lZuqN4z
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvF2ABwIZ3
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqrSD31son
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzNG61HEjt
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzBMVYQ5rU
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoe6NpBxft
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fc5bmsUtq
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yxccl14Zs
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9NlQSQw8F
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2RtaV7G38
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mz9r0F59h
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZIxWjiyna
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kgEtGDC46
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXdGjR78M8
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrZPZlsCUe
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSfFammxoM
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5wEBzPaIS
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8WN3yHmhS
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaSNB4PW9S
Beet: “Haaa!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb8c2Ky7IY
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLtjz3lrWT
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h0kdGYiBk
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwGdNqVcoI
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY9tvPIxDH
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEalOFnkPE
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga87zkehbf
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-”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMvHeAvoZd
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0oX9Uqluw
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6GJCu7PIe
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhwsLqluaH
Kakarot: “Enough”!
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHaXyrCgWP
Beet: “Huh?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK835JZhFbf
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpHUTcgKOC
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK23gxKkhEP
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdLwSehisC
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj1AUFhtLF
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jS7nU3pY0
Beet: “Right!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrVSTWinWT
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdClLmWRga
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca7P8WQPG3
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RHI8UQxHN
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImrcRaHAh5
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4msWswjX5j
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBFRUEPzjY
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfNNRdYk6b
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVBlAKYcTL
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xjRosMeIJ
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KYfa2UrvK
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS8Ed8zUaR
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47hhuAOW4o
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYR7o3Il0Z
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugkdF6PYRL

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

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz8lQ50LXW
“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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZOaHyme5b
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWiylrdkXK
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgJiv2civA
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSUKkSRZYK
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrrdGnot2X
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDjbWkGmxT
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3VdirqzwA
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7nszBeewv
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYzUDlsFZF
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6weTX7DMsF
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCieQLrSNyG
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQba0q5OQyB
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTJQXe4uEk
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RSNLw3FMk
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpSU9QwQm2
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSEwFrG8W5
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8qxPzOiOd
Bulma chuckled.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIXL8fSQeX
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r9yntvQdx
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKubbB5Pw4
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrbQkrosoh
Beet: “Momm!!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZggbOZxxo
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefJjz5mrk2
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRo03Equ3Z
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlauKecqTib
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xZ9Bhmukx
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahdMje4BLU
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpnAh1x8D7
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK7JaWfCJf
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWprYT5BzHN
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq86mcHsoON
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDDDipLT8z
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUM4qhzzY3
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk9vgvMPn1
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVTjfNvfYJ
Kakarot: “Enough!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUKW627z9A
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN5gp8honF
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvsHKrfGwd
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AJ0OxEN80
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xn9owJzjY
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAvfwZZrIZ
Beet: “Sir!!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5APzjKo73q
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDunxHJ9HP
Bulma: “Beet!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iIQ2qDRFq
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVCLvm1lXB
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj2oSe29Ga
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUfH8pjj7p
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxQRh2QFng
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKBMzQneo5
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaymtDEytXg
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i5TlfOaTm
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzndIFghgCV
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6iFjjKNQv
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hxhf8Vf2U
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu3zL21acr
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fVhGgkWsu
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt2dpKvlKh
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gJkagGcvb
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0agc9ZkEBJ
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjR58xpUl1
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRVNcOWC7v
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6awQUhdrW
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMxwd9OALa
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0sY62KkDz
Raditz: “You have my word.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WuIN81rXV
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIQCsVg218
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwkRk2KcC6
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXbbQIgOKA
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87f3krQOgs
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y0NXwZ7Pj
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?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmL5o3D5pN
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZlJMMuhJM
Raditz chuckled.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYRyDd32bZ
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv2iyF7GGl
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFBXdesKxQ
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaS8vq8nUq
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5QY1O4e9G
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNKRMlEiQF
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rr5psZhG7
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG6JoB7ZBf
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvF0sOkBZw
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsN7maBVdo
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYNTgxhpDe
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJPEylsOre
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin9Rzrkx8H
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpdxWXbcDO
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9UXYoTfg5
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKF0bpAVye
Raditz took a deep breath.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqiUbCJpiE
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeGXMoHFzv
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIYAgqdm1W
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sF78uk8aY
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MpzpARbJ4
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CMmUukvG1
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?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9zG8Sbgru
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwbp2FJQ0s
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0xYYRm5He
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeye3dIxukB
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsccmuXhhl
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ4Incky1P
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3wWwCohh4
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu02n7iC5r
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?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQmlqDcPKd
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yYFgOdK4x
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gxkoepOrq
Kakarot: “The prince?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aj93CmXq6
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP8DsE4Awd
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW2Zp0EhpT
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?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDOueks7Ze
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvrjDPemrJ
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZYTtfGbty
Kakarot: “….”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx2yYX1Qjl
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthwrXD8ogK
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsEuaRRjV3
Bulma hesitated to reply.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxHVvVIkWb
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusJh2Sj6OD
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6vHvtydgz
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE0B8hbEGH
Beet: “Sir!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEkHkgXv2k
He came face to face with his father.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bb4ImQ9Qk
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORyLM9vfj3
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pukV0fKoD
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmcl5kT4lb
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54mcjUCrjC
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8yfuQARfj
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1HsI4ZX41
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW9vL3t2pc
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjSqTN2CyO
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJmOtbbpUi
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwneTHiRQbI
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaVJ30D7o4
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLBkT3abIu
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDUSQvLAbS
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.’
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgU254VU0B
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qTTJrhwDI
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocSmQdt4uO
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9M4a52AU7
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYdCd3aUI2
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdA4z1EzSk
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3DYjfXGvT
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LQcpPH2Cp
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXFVLNwN2V
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXamHVLo9bx
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwVfoVWH8h
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eFZdsLYqD
The prince hesitated.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOsiRKVRJk
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPaksT7Qqd
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7qITKlY4s
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEb4Dyrv4l
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMMO7tbJ1V
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAfS7JKCXM
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIc2YScLJv
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebGcZ2mgTy
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagR95HXu6l
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4CO3isGVs
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRPb6tLTxO
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt8onzRNQB
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYImgJc0BFu
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFv7butgOd
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSncJyszn7n
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZuOApjfVk
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgQhEW4sW0
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnPueOgLcm
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTuxfHKNNr
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxLsKj95mY
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCIZ7aeHUE
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnWiPBYXuv
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH4TSA5eYs
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv4qZKE2Ht
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?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijM4f5bYVj
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oi7GgnIuF
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D4CgRIqwO
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaCmkKIDCD
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGw6XYL2Zy
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEJvqL7WK6
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?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiuAoK5zts
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4ydHEMMIs
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEKUKmGhKg
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZv3yvWCG0
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFNqZjdvXB
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?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvqclnNO6G
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MEefp8p08
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYivTbPiZt
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1M9b0XzUS
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFI4iz4D90
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnuNRwDod5
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUXB1m1rqo
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQefikh7If
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUZLCA91BX
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnrZuOE3O9
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?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT4Q1gp0ZV
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmm3pyuC4r
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSeuHf3E5d
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4ilriW9F1
Kakarot: “What was that?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYXrTQTAOO
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFJIndzVvE
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?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGTWcdPSAd
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQDqVHso4E
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEYfrdOmcO
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIA2HEjQUR
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBDkdK8eSB
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqmNksVCj9
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToxaIDpbEF
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq3DvOkq2i
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaHZiBEFOR
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tVt2MmjBp
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaJe7P3R02
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAOKG6Yec3
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR6ZXYI4KA
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKdYjJCO5u
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEHvkiTIIJ
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop2b81SL4W
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxljP9XNg8
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKbygzEjZJ
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88QEFqbpzR
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ82vFeGsV
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHBjpiZA0K
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx9HSLZwQR
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PnzEfjKFM
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoLKgGrqPp
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsfY6ovSS7
“Your foot is on my tail!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvRTl7xtAf
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGnXu4UA5D
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LwqbVUpTm
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l1dXnai0E
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qMQWLJV5v
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJeUzIM8Iu
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqFed7pjs1
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YH3gLef8k
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfSnaGi3PK
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQtKEwDtGP
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?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g5bTwRKHG
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZkqLJYH5A
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWhEZAml9C
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBcdlPnREH
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bmRBYAcCm
Kakarot smiled.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6USUuK7nQi
Kakarot: “Understood!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsNWS7bVZA
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcUAJNc7IY
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrONCWE88x
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqxPyuTXij
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ7fQuhXd6
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQMsGJbNnG
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcawRpmy3id
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAYcYOJtl4
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBuhQzyWJN
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJD14sHetB

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTH6P3xZq8
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eM3NMSCBX
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1y0TthUOL

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIWMFUADhf
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTScAnHV14
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRFw2N0HvB
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQkafhrY5H
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoi9A67Ona
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi30G32Z8o
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ20RIqviXT
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabUFMBlzJq
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjlmGMomJn
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZZzrFjggV
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuUQrtydet
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yrn9fHIk6
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW4CTrJQez
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOjcwtJwik
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRUdVeBM0B
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix3Urq9LBQ
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH6yw0T6Q2
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t7rUxQD8H
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqArUphx7sD
He took a peek at his injuries.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2tNgYHGi7
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2PoW8eKog
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolwkyahDwV
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SgBaTxVFV

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7dAJOi4bf

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64q4VSKPQe
Kakarot: “Huh?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtbWGDjtsJ
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcB1FVOM9U
Raditz: “Why you!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFHdmhzGNj
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJrRh0LGZH
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeVHHB3Xh5
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.

Kakarot: “What… What h-happened?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CtnoObBuX

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpQIq92VY4
Raditz: ‘Right!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpbzZnKX85

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM0S7hrD7q
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9umH9qTnLl
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB82bUdNxh
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyAzsZ4D8F
“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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJpPuTJwmM
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08HzFo2SMY
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?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxCFURUc1u
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcU7kbzVnj
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSF65kFh9c
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNDdD4zTRn
Doctor: “I will sir.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8bXnQ04Jz
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dcvLxmBuI
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOnhKLY3ph
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF26B1pF3k
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9q34LxA4p
Kakarot: “I see. I don't feel anything though.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2hIe8Dovu
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoQhtyxG26
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsFIiqWYl7
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlv2NQjSbL
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ780SHrKoo7
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT8DclgAFt
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8fEsWITfE
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?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdAI2fDetx
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhxzjnviSL
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnqfgmk5Cz
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1oigo7D0y
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgobz9tBr6
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF3NTYnGJq

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS4z8UeeYV

Bulma: “Wait, what? You brought them here? Are you crazy?”

Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjtjTBHmqb
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?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQRpBi1F4G
Kakarot: “When we win.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMNgqJzcy6
Bulma: “And what considers us the winners? What happens when survivors of their conquests come looking for revenge?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkzvn61Pud
Kakarot: “I’ll stop them.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH716uOqfyX
Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmN17YVgJt
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1XdIGZaaR

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvwI17zPa8
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI8vpDLLza
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHt6tyLEEk
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.

Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwYB6vFBVu
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6GI5idjhJ
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMcdERrL1a
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJsmoaBnWK
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYoBEKipyz
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJeTYGWB6s
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwoVOTuw53
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuxyv79HfF
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmH3VUYmGe
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXbjisYzhs
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cKZ1zULyD
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL4NHljYSp
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!”

Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEsNc8oZ7k
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAW3DrPvmZ
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2TK7mxPEo
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNbM85k9rf
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d5OdJKvkz
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSl7G6Qcuf
Raditz: “I will..”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPhHJIpYX6
Raditz turned to his comrades.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngeNcPpchu
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBlm1Bjj5k
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevJOeKvzOF
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMZs06qgMB
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7xdRsNxBm
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zSXd7yclG
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMtknddhBu
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ncaynq4r2
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEwce7MTcy
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6cdZ9D52d
Beet: “Okay!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaNucQmy38
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7qxYikCTu
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBClhambzib
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldjbmosvii
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPmDoUDXZ9
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cwvA5qMuQ
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDCVG515fA
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlM2K0LKGI
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk5O0RtOsI
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2knT5OjMBO
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR0Q7qAhN3
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaROBYi9fiT
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe4yQxEGBi
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuR0QthIyF
Beet: “O-Okay.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UZD82weyI
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ626UKiC8MM
Kakarot: “What happened?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssa3tHDrYb
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbAwAgGc8y
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0apbXqJNA
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmLfeWaHEF
Kakarot: “Fine.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7aF7rkaVh
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS7ptWp4ij
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMw9CNPaRr
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvDFFGxGVy
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk1Sgm3n8L
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtpYZZUb5u
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFdkBEa86H
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRahtAp9Eiu
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j6s221Yod
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mdlw6wwL0
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0D8azXfle
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKQcY1IFfg
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVn1OWm5QM
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0cMIaZQYv
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsW4ZvZ7vY
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyQ2fcthiM
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAFQptFLRd
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzIf4tbmqT
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabjA6akNvK
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeadnJIMmOE
Raditz: “Understood.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp262dRB1FM
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15o4yMXOnA
Raditz departed from the room.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsMvk1hcoH
“Haaaa”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iIY7y70dZ
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOcMafVlxR
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lzXSaQrPT
Kakarot: “Right.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERZS1HkdkJ
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSd8Zfz4Rq
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayM1P0FncK
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu4YAS6Wfc
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRVU1qa2AM
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgFXluPZYg
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Ezjk9ln2
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JdrhnKG8C
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNqfmO86un
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ScFdwBZm9
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT6mnVXXB8
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBwDOT3WcW
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdytJHljRmH
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ClbTCUSpw
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRuvxmbrkL
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhrh3qVoLR
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBhHoPGR9x
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJkS2Ie3dT
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2bnniB1gk
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi4csi476y
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidtgBS9Rj1
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKW3MXdY7W
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN2UQvvtwj
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Un8tBLLS
Kakarot turned around.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRcezn3kUx
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WlvT5JYBK
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TIakzPvn3
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?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6FqsVA7Rm
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppw7aoIg8b
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSiRFmoKfg
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjGvLzPKE9
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYH2ahO9DP
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgapvmr8si4
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrge61Hk7n
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp45GJcfbg7
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEl90Z8D8P
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAaR91BiHQ
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPe8N1Q9ra
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23fHOZInjE
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYw3UHqdYe
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pr0u0XK2r
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBz91ZUrov
Kakarot: “Right!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaexna4yTsX
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtKxv71zxr
Kakarot: “Yes?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UAlLOjfk8
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvQfckyw7v
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gs8W88PPb
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiM5J65kjc
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvV9kqaUqP
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0chxPWGZf
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGreXRkKDC
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DHgD0yM1x
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAadEICML0b
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfrVOSpC3h
Raditz turned to his brother.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkBmOxfA6b
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX82DUlw4w
Raditz: “Right..”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWm0gz1vgC
Raditz took off with his pod.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdb2P2fmRG
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyTMCwLA2S
“Let me take a look.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQutDnqlXED
Beep! Beep! Beep!
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQOZ5WjKqm
“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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuj31034De
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNQicPxESv
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrL86w6Pgf
He bowed in respect.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85QiKErbHq
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReWEKg4wYe
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sebXaQyTQ
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1MCXtRNb1
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MqoNJxqqu
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2zq5iERnR
Raditz: “As you wish.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrPDrkSxqg
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50BW03OtS2
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9KjSWve4B
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OUnHrjPtf
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa14eCvigle
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsasuAdJvD
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxal6eHbpz
Zarbon took his leave.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkt0mPD2nt
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXuZACvYjl
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoMQ5nRDTP
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AAcShRlrZ
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO8zIDROdA
Raditz chuckled.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3i8UwIKq4
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TvbMVKJFo
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL5Ahad9DY
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYljtTkzVBM
Beep! Beep! Beep!
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8DExPt2q3
Raditz: “He's here…”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIguNlQtHMO
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1gYorQ0dB
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtXq6hT96J
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc75LCR7y2a
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHEDhdu2js
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf76iRdcemA
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzDoEVMPYz
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbjWv546Yu
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqN4150nMj
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKYHWOPYsV
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eF6nxaPbR
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi4Igwd25m
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ma4ebmz42
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa75dtEw6I
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4C0IvgFzG
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO0uDstHET
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDqJl5BZgY
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQVFednngY
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTiP6VLsiZ
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavQ5d1OJSk
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5P7ZQolYT
Raditz: “Damn it!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg8IrfORmI
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8XWfRI9b4
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY65kax5Dfd
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqO6sXHI2R
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyXlMQ9FVA
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdxCcTY191
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXAviIc8Cj
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5BoC3m7sD
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6suuDeT6Y
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwEwDNMzGt
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSGNSaUFuN
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4Vy9rTE1n
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh0G6wPSiR
Beep! Beep! Beep!

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZQi2M33GY
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGg4XLRFlj
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6UmZghNuI
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyZXrMefgE
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlvDDrUGh3
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLj6vbDEFG
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ab2VORsFE
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tDkpuxLj2
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xPhMW7CWl
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfp13plnqj
Dodoria: “Why you!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHEru91cny
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldItedy7Qx
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOUFq57mvN
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7glTfkuW43
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetkOrwpqyF

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56fSqQ3qBm
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3ZelcWC6c
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc9WaFlXgR
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTUkWjAiTl
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSvxIM4yFp
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzYz1pINGC
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HLkev6fJ2
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmYgKJOeAV
Vegeta: “Huh?”

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDPOh9V2TW
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwPel4S0FG
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUezKboS7b
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoRQzxoH8Z
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVzBQG6a1E
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymd3iE6PYx
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzLuKqja8A
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO0zeoYjKx
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Uc2aybPwF

Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeIN1PmJAH
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.

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHXJlfXq5S
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fe8uAfskH
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiUPSQ8pk2
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdgIJSxvoQ
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOMvZhm5Ig
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdfbEel68b

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZpklsGQwR

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhXYrmsfx0
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsicawGfcs
Frieza: “Y-You-”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeRQ87ElLn

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVNDVlxAQm
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesYBU3GnFw
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBnjrDX1Gg
Kakarot: “Not again!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZFbgQbtBL
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnJAYGDJ6Q
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3aP88Tgjs

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUaNwEdxCA
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZOxFuPOi0
Kakarot: “Look out!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAFHAb5l9I
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2yITlDCIr

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8LDIDJQ59

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGnRvEZAYC
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnVt55HsoM
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4LunWdB3n
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmarm1AY4P
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWMXiAVKFA
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HiZn0GaHZ
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY7DrVeoKv
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI33B4nmqY
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG2yipO8M9
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSGa6gz55V

Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmszHpbYZae
Frieza: “You again!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bKPXjaO75
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLogYkOgLl
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghO8hTn7B3
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYea8DmPTP0
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRE0e37Nbz
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWIptFVDgt
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd4Ovvx42Z
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOpSXfHYf2
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlIfIMwUKl
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8mO7OPXzk
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII3ryIglvx
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4UoQPjXYU
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZsydPW7tK
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELdCnYceTp
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ihDxnw8fK
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xL2CVsDxJ
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0BC5Si7Cn
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89JuiCniAq
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRkkK2iuH2
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJYA772880
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK9lSQwGsJ
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iOXy4ikYu
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMfG4Cg2yn
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMj8OCcrop
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVQZr86btG
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLn7ekd7Fg
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX5XRnVBR0
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSn5c6QwR7

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H86GTbOJr
“Haaaaaa!!!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWWJfO4LjQ
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.

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMIHmSLIJp
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCnBrvGL2l
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cnb97YPkS
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpLlUpWyPz

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl5gAi4GUZ
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBUR8wAJFO
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLISsW5XCnG
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQa9N20OLr

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x0I2Idcda
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAvwSwDDL6
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASXhViLly1
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.

Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsgX6Me7Pj
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cAqR03fYM
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq45trwx6G
Kakarot: “It's done…”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNv0f1vKrT
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uMWA30Rqt
Vegeta ascended into the air.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymZ8Zu64ka
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EccSAKXNk
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaNLuKvXVp
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPabpl5Dtz
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4XkLf0ZpG
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WDZKnZ2au
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBvkCJJQda
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkzKDOBfi2
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxzPxOkWxP
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCkkzWZNl5
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArArlXUPJL
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtjGZMEvMU
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JAz08YXNV
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3svxSLRfoy
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLdoyIOpz2
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy1GZCWUXJ
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRoygDB8mF
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUPyGgSLpE
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvuVlKm7oL
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPogv3ff2wm
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZM4lVUBQz
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx5ZQzXWi0
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94Qfz3vfjs
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOm6u3qOzI
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kCLHRZc7O
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbceKbitwYt
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrGo660A4E
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28xYnMmG9K
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID5rBtNol5
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYq3jC4kLR
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpL5nBXtZE
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoh8hbCHGP
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDJBY3VT20
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfdCR1cxFv
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSze0lZVfMV
He looked at his fist in shame.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56uPH89XDi
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59vhdKxXNh
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJGU3Wpp1j
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iIV5oMY7h
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFcu0fvreE
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNxSlLsjbW
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERzgVpXrtJ
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXa5ZtIARC
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8g6MqgVtr
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSws9sX5qVG
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcbVlkDfYA
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1fQ3imT22
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1qrksVmbN
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6nPPPZNqf
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUf33yUvgP
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..”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7AYnnCz7n
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRJ4YM4ggc
Kakarot: “No…”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2dHr0qp2k
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENEPvxx4iv
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIRgwI8hIA
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXStAeAPHBM
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkfVwV5Ml3
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5MBExiliP
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEZ233Ddmm
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBudFtza10O
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN19sNSwbc2
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcfdUbVhGR
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl00re7a8S
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT679lrzyrD
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3ArzBxgXS
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHA1kghSXl
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EPJrcEbmg
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b335R7L59
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yNCtCiPXG
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwNJqM4xAI
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkFLJy5IqW
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KliQDO28a
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf2Ex9tNxr
Raditz bowed down in respect.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNckf2J7dm7
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc4tt84Y1B
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITrFCfsxWK
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUrpAwHNMX
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkoDtbwMuk
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVtE5xTGzo
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnYofSwLgI
Raditz: “Right!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm3JzGnl4P
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPhgh9a4ko
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYsKA8343u
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1movAODqDk
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w1M4Zu4Tu
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpi9YXICpy
Tears ran down his face.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBafFEPmAg
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?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J2NzPXAL7
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnylG3pEd0
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLziZo9IlJ
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dUkpIJC1H
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDUPM6DVsF
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJp1jwzcxL
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKx0AguO1p
Raditz smirked.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPXeZyPpGw
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZO4j0yjpv
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz65cG6CaQ
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCmb1OA4Sz
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOoMR3cSSw
He pounded the ground.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2vgtwItFK
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYNYw2tYmQ
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuE15xVHq3
Kakarot: “To fight!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SAer6ZyHD
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoORdIEhqBK
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouvX64qS76
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU42NfvlMN
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1iTZOvopa
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUInrBXGHyT
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvACJnuBT1
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hpfp8KGpF
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV65pYfhvqN
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwYE6Fnw2p
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.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHzFkPtCaY
Vegeta: “Wait!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlqXrAZMhc
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.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScAJEWnqn5
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmKj8ukycU
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARM0y7WZFU
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySCpN22BmF
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhkJ1LSgoa
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!”
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDDOzyqPoX
Shenron: “As you wish."
