Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAI60AnZFNXO
Bardock: “Working under you gave me the opportunity to be the warrior I craved to be, I can admit that, but I think I speak for every saiyan when I say we're tired of being under your watch. We were born to be free and fight for our pleasure! Not for your convenience! This ends now! Frieza!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVNkcBeHRZC
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANACjs431G8JE
Frieza: “No, no. He went through all the trouble of fighting off my soldiers and confronting me directly. I cannot explain why but I feel like I owe him this last duel. Perhaps then this monkey will realize his pathetic place in this universe when he draws his last breaths.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAx3kndSfcEl
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAt5m7v6QxKI
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKqtOQgubJc
The saiyan warrior launched a fist full of fury and pride. The mighty emperor redirected his punch with a palm strike to his arm. Bardock turned right back around and rushed Frieza with a combination of fierce and rapid punches and kicks. Frieza had no trouble evading and blocking each strike. A smirk was firmly printed on his face, showing the saiyan who was truly in control. Bardock jumped back and quickly shot a ki blast at the tyrant. Frieza stopped the blast with his bare hand. The explosion was a mere calculated distraction from the proud warrior. The smoke hid Bardock's location, giving him the chance to deliver a full power kick to Frieza's liver, followed by a punch, charged with ki, to his face. The blows sent Frieza back a few feet. His smirk was wiped from his face, shifting into an irritated frown.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA4Gk6rR44qy
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAwXESkqsIBG
The emperor made his move, striking Bardock's rib with his pinky finger at a blinding speed. The saiyan spit blood and lost his balance. Frieza swung his tail, slamming it into his face, knocking more blood out. He struck him a few more times before piercing his leg with a small beam he shot from his finger. Blood gushed out from the wounded warrior's leg. He yelled in agony and held his injured area. The sadistic emperor went for another shot at the saiyan's shoulder this time.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAqzW7abhPLe
Frieza: “It's a shame knowing you're the last one standing from your side of this war. The prince is under my control and the remaining saiyans are nothing to worry about. The saiyan race has fallen!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVc57ITvRgv
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWBXwOSvBTI
Bardock: “I guess I was right to think ahead hehe. You're wrong! The saiyan race will never truly fall! You may have conquered all of our remaining warriors, but there's one more! Kakarot! Remember that name! Frieza!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANArJECdrWNg9
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJnWEWU8CGW
Bardock accepted his fate, but he refused to die in such an insulting manner and let out one final burst of energy from his palm. Frieza raised his finger, generating a massive ball of energy that resembled a sun.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAc8WZMNob4m
Frieza: “My original intentions were to wipe out all of you monkeys with this war so I could salvage this planet for my own, but perhaps it's best that I make sure no trace of your once thriving society remains.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA527VYISJDE
He lowered his finger, tossing the sphere at Bardock's direction. The attack completely disintegrated Bardock's final stand. With no power left to fight back, the last soldier of the saiyan resistance succumbed to his inevitable fate.
457Please respect copyright.PENANATFffqldQGA
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3JVRZlxIX
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAr2fwalUOkj
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYZGacKDr0E
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYy24AhmMzZ
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6au56PzQ0j
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjG9akbz3tw
Commander Red: “How dare you pretend you have a moral high ground! You and I both know you loved every moment out there! You live for this…Kakarot!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANASYZEVw5m3J
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAsfoDpq9KH6
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA4fs22bCxcz
The saiyan chopped the Commander in half with his bare hand. He crashed through the roof of the building they stood in and flew off.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAi3zb5gtmE2
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAin9YBpJbNR
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAapEozn0CSp
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAgPndUyo1Av
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAuFFU5UIkFx
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFZsVQHFyYB
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAadMU6XDt8W
Kakarot: “My ear piece was damaged during battle. The martial artists from before stepped in but I finally settled the score with them. No one will ever hurt us again.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHlKSYtUdiV
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAPTqRIl7Cr2
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAPoz0tRd6gP
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAIwhptELLXb
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjkj1vX9l26
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAuHAMeM2sZK
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAj4dScwXx1g
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFI20XnPLMK
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAaSAN3PT2dj
Kakarot: “I have no interest in leading these people, they can do whatever they want as far as I care, just as long as we're left unbothered. We should start by thinking about our future.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUGdyDEpHKO
For months, the war between Kakarot and the earth's alliance had dragged on, many fell victim to Kakarot's might before the combined forces of the government and even the red ribbon army had fallen, finally ending the conflict. The best martial artists on the planet had their own turmoil with the saiyan but they unfortunately faced the same fate as the rest of his opposition. Despite the terrors that took place, a period of tranquility was achieved at last. A peace that would last for a few years to come.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAX5DaERD3hF
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANADyNuAGRiZc
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAR014e9FEyq
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAXJttB8l1oV
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9JJ2922bn8
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAESYxbzPZQw
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAvrgC051YFJ
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVHJfitfuKF
Kakarot: “I haven't even begun to comprehend what lies beyond our planet, what goes on outside our universe was never really of my concern.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWAfgLuDRjh
Bulma: “Well, I've studied quantum mechanics as much as I've studied engineering and there's theories suggesting the possibility of a multiverse. An infinite set of parallel worlds like our own but with minor or sometimes major differences.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA52PZdB4V18
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAaTSgnr0IQ0
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1KKNZ1rQkK
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAbzc011rNXv
Bulma: “That explains a lot. This isn't just any vehicle though, once I get it figured out, this baby will be able to take us across dimensions! Look, I know we will never be able to undo the damage we caused, I've accepted it was for the greater good, but with this, we could go to other worlds where we exist and prevent this disaster! We can work together and create harmony so they don't have to live with our guilt!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHfxslSej06
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANANva9zZFzmH
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1ElhQlBmDV
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANArJziOlSukc
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJUrY2p3hmB
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAizajMni4Ow
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANANL7MiEme69
Bulma: “You know how that boy is, he said he was going to pick some things up from the city, but I'm almost certain he's out in the woods again.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhQHYZn1jwq
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWjB7HouAAn
Beet: “Haaa!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUm5fcgLHKX
Beet kicked at the beast that stood before him, knocking one of its teeth out. The dinosaur remained determined and swung its massive tail at the child who just barely reacted in time to evade it. The dinosaur charged at him, chomping it's jaws at Beet. The boy struggled to escape every bite.
457Please respect copyright.PENANATnT5beerbZ
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAPjSc4CjsDp
Beet was whacked by the creature's tail, knocking him over. The dinosaur opened its jaw revealing its terrifying teeth. Beet closed his eyes shut and covered his face, preparing for the worst. The dinosaur bit down, but to his surprise, there was nothing there.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFAEvrnx33a
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAsUDibbFRuN
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdAOSiFtoBS
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAy23uE7qMAx
Kakarot: “You're focused on the wrong objective. You can strike its head as many times as you want and it still has the chance to get up again. But-”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAoQx7yoD5K6
Kakarot snatched the dinosaur's tail and tore it off in the blink of an eye. A big smile took over his face, overcoming his usual serious demeanor. His smile quickly faded as he saw the blood that leaked from the tail.
457Please respect copyright.PENANArKEAhvoM2Y
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y7EdaSXjY
A memory of the bloodshed from the war that had taken place crossed through his mind. He took a deep breath for a moment. The dinosaur fled from the scene in fear. Beet darted after it. Kakarot snapped out of his trance.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdkwByU67Rh
Kakarot: “Enough”!
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhhS87gopR8
Beet: “Huh?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAzw9q033kjI
Kakarot: “I already got us a boar for dinner, there's no need to kill an opponent that can't fight anymore. It's broken beyond repair, don't carry the burden of being the one who took its life.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAapfxJJOAMo
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6mNVwEnAB9
Kakarot: “Everything we do is for survival. If we need to eat then we'll kill, if we need to defend ourselves then we'll kill. But that thing had nothing left to fight with. There's no reason to finish it off.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJWTaBuJSrF
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHekRyzbMsR
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHJO6mk2HUV
Beet: “Right!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJACFP0BiRs
The family sat outside around a bonfire. The young Beet was tuckered out from his big day, he rested his head on his mother's lap, giving in to his fatigue. She caressed his soft hair and smiled. Kakarot kept his head low, pondering away at some troublesome thoughts. He caught a glimpse of Bulma staring and immediately looked away, hoping she wouldn't notice.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAxC3uPAvUOZ
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAn3DzWhp5rA
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9jqpQOonSa
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJjJUD6CgNf
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAgieWF4KdJ6
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVQEMyLZERu
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAuFWRJdJWCJ
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA7x6TS5t98k
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANArgHig88Wyq
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANACTaBXtDhGK
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAzsVuszZYBq
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAamoWMkGn8I
Bulma: “Yeah, you weren't exactly a scholar per se, haha! Cramming in those study sessions must be just as new for you as it is for him.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAglOATs1wkb
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAE465QKUv0M
Bulma: “I love you.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdFJzuQXfEr
Kakarot: “I love you too.”

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHI8Y5GBFgr
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ao6FQ2UTg
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFWA5iXOJEQ
“Only a fool would continue this struggle, if we surrender to their commands, at least our people will get to live another day. I'm sorry, Colonel, call off our men.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAECjb2lEYIM
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVFDEyRaNEz
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAzgVwsjq89C
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAMWqHPVWjHq
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAm1zmn1xM8Z
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUKciNzSdWK
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUJyZjsrcqs
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAP1JkNCn63k
King Tuffle: “I have withdrawn my forces as you requested. We'll form an alliance like you desired and lend a hand in your fight. As long as you keep your side of the deal and let us be after it's all done.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANARJNay273y5
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA4rLVKgeo8q
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.
457Please respect copyright.PENANACrKWQA3Uzm
Beep! Beep! Beep!

“It works just how the rumors said they would. With this technology, tracking frieza's movements will be a breeze.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAPPLjr0f22W
“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.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANApaAssaVJ08
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAPYP1IOnzae
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANACAlxEBPUrW
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAIUz15tfSJD
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
457Please respect copyright.PENANATnUQlJqQBi
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA3pNdafETun
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA39MCpPA6Rl
Bulma chuckled.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAbYnCTiJMu5
Bulma: “Well, as long as we get this baby done, do as you please! You know, I'm surprised you went along with this after all.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGUGjlX1R0S
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAqXKptB3OZY
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAwPbJW6GOC5
Beet: “Momm!!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA5mzSnSxmha
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA8HiC8n2sV2
The busy mechanic rushed to her son's needs. Kakaort returned to his work but was almost immediately interrupted by a shout coming from outside.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAwjsXVndCIs
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANASHJaKvJEfK
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAV5DCfCSy06
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAoDE9WB0Grz
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9EyFmM9UYE
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANArtlTZOYiMb
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAY7hcixLgc0
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
457Please respect copyright.PENANACXv4b2rUms
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAeKdTKk1DuM
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAp4IlCvZxiw
Kakarot: “You're playing a risky game coming here and demanding to see me all of a sudden. I don't care what you're here for, leave my planet or I'll make you!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdadGRyoMEq
Raditz: “So, the planet does belong to you after all. That's good to hear. This will be a perfect base to rebuild the saiyan empire hehe.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ceut2EThv
Kakarot: “Enough!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANANLRvmVcoCK
Kakarot flung himself at the unsuspecting saiyan. Raditz noticed at the last second but still managed to evade the frustrated warrior's attacks with ease.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAiNeYW2vFqn
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdpCJkgLlRx
Kakarot threw a fierce punch which Raditz evaded at blinding speed. His movement played tricks on the saiyan's eyes, leaving behind only an after image with the real Raditz having already got a hold of Kakarot's blind spot. He smacked him away with a mighty backhand.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAaVvRnCwU1v
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2jTky0tk6Y
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAoRrTloKtBW
Beet: “Sir!!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2u6sxpvnzF
Beet rushed to his father's aid, throwing a kick at his uncle. Raditz flicked the child away with a strike from his tail. Beet crashed to the floor, hanging onto his consciousness.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAxvpEh0ctQ4
Bulma: “Beet!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA5MR84xQarA
Raditz: “The boy will be fine, don't worry about him. That look on your face, Kakarot, it's almost as though you've never tasted absolute defeat like this hehe.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA7qDVF1n5cd
Kakarot's breaths were heavy, his body was petrified from fear. The feeling was instantly overwhelmed by a sudden rush of adrenaline. Before he knew it, his body stood, almost on its own. He rushed his brother once more, his blows were suddenly sharper and swifter than before. Raditz found himself putting in effort to defend the assault. Raditz blocked a kick with his forearm only to have it be immediately followed up by an elbow to his face. With only seconds to react, he stopped the attack with his palm, just barely avoiding contact. His eye twitched in irritation.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAClFQvcdELp
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAwV3seIjnuM
He drove his knee straight into Kakarot's stomach, ending his sudden burst instantly. Kakarot collapsed to the ground, his body refused to answer his demands, seemingly paralyzed. He gasped for air, struggling to speak. Raditz raised his hand, reaching towards the defeated man. Bulma yelled at him to stop as Kakarot flinched, accepting his fate. There was a sudden pause from Raditz. Kakarot opened his eyes again, only to see his older brother reaching out to lend a hand. Surprised, Kakarot used his remaining strength to force his hand up and got a grip of Raditz's hand. Raditz helped him to his feet before letting him go.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQFRgwqdOyo
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA75n9DsqlGU
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAw7cPbWPixS
Raditz: “That's right, I'm your older brother, Kakarot. It may seem a little jarring, but you're from another planet, one that has long since ceased to be. You were presumably sent here to conquer this world, although I never understood why planet 4032-877 of all places.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjOxwoOHIq7
Kakarot: “I always knew I was different. The people of this world made that clear to me, but I never imagined I'd be from a completely different world.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjqcztWjGHI
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjp9cFsAFnW
Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAtHC1vPEyar
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2dEQSY0cll
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAAQrNB5X4Tl
Raditz: “Right, I should cut to the chase. My name is Raditz, sorry for not properly introducing myself earlier. I'm not here for some late family reunion, I'm here to recruit you, little brother.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAwDIVS6rR9R
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmqmeSV3ITP
Raditz: “Our Race has long since been reduced to mere numbers you can count with your fingers alone. It wasn't by no natural causes however, our kind were victims of a genocide from a tyrant known as Frieza. He enslaved our people and forced us to do his bidding for decades until we finally stood up to him and waged war against him and his forces. As fate may have had it, our forces soon fell, the rebellion failed and frieza believed it to be easier to simply wipe us out for good. There were some of us however who didn't partake in the war, we were off on duty, unaware of all that went down. For years, Frieza deceived the remaining saiyans into believing a meteor had struck down our planet. We recently found out it was all a lie invented by Frieza to keep the remaining of us loyal to him. What he doesn't know is that neither of us ever took pride in serving him! But this isn't just about fighting for our freedom anymore, this is for our proud race that he dared to look down upon! Join me, brother, let us retake our honor by slaying this bastard!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWM1kDloMH2
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAi9IidYKLZE
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAoBiccge6KD
Kakarot: “He took everything from you, my life is here, on earth. Besides, I've fought a war all my life, I don't want to jump into another one after we just reached a peaceful era.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGA9bmaY1Pm
Raditz: “I see.. Well, then let me spend the night with you brother, just for us to connect a bit before I return to my comrades.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAfe8Q7U3LoN
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAzg4suaKTKx
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAX2E4oXyJOu
Raditz: “You have my word.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2L6xrgd6eA
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAb7wxhjsjiP
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFGOFv8oLk2
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAK5uI840BHc
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjwyhkV0PU0
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAv6g0kAnCvs
Raditz: “You worry too much, child, you're a saiyan like the both of us, a bit of a runt I'll say, but a saiyan nonetheless. You'll grow to be much stronger when you're older. Doesn't that excite you?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAIEHolkP0lG
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAixqbjoXZBX
Raditz chuckled.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYrPRUvwvqB
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKCU04xWGmg
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANARh5mMxoXFe
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAye6K310i4T
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9w6W6ozGw
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAaQsTY6JYG4
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQ16uE7gMiP
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANATS12NPSvxa
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAwLgGdIMOuX
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAgb8ITj6UJS
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAkDCTDaQjRn
Bulma: “Honey, I think I'm gonna sleep early. Don't stay up too late, okay? I still don't really trust him, it's best we get the day over with soon.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAgUgSrO5PVR
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAifYRMGb1t2
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAgZSnNCvnzt
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhpnkeTjtYc
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANApNMSJlbE52
Raditz took a deep breath.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAk9IRNjB71l
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWY8XvgWGbi
Kakarot did not question his sibling and partook in his request. The two left the house and walked out into the night sky. Raditz levitated high into the air and Kakarot followed. Raditz came to a sudden halt. He faced the night sky, illuminated by the countless stars, miles away.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAm8BktPPlMv
Raditz: “Take a look, brother, the universe is infinite. Why would you limit yourself to such a pointless, finite world like this one? Don't lie to yourself, this mundane life doesn't suit our kind. We're warriors! Born to fight!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAu3t3VV7czA
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAERZK0FHxmA
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6KBt3cb9vt
Kakarot: “I've never faced much of a threat on this planet, I've never truly been pushed to my limit. Earlier, when you humiliated me in our battle, I felt something. A rush, one like no other. I was going to die and yet I felt more alive than ever. What was that?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYgn0f5m0pT
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAvgigGTFoJy
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAxfHLUbPyim
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANATEK3dFV2yT
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKJdTp6ghGD
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAiBjSkoXZmX
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHBx3KWgIk0
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2rUPsx5a5T
Raditz: “Vaguely, I've heard about him before though. He was a powerful leader of an elite squad. Rumor has it, he was the one who led the rebellion against Frieza. Our father was a great man, Kakarot. Don't you want to take after his footsteps?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA76HGEWxskw
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAoWfyQVO618
Raditz: “I leave tomorrow, I have an extra pod you can take so you can tag along. I can take you to meet the prince so you can join our alliance.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAcdyh7DLuA3
Kakarot: “The prince?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANArjusHThWvF
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANALSDb0Xs2eN
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAkMFErVAc3S
Bulma: “I don't understand! We're finally at peace and now you want to run off into another fight that isn't even your own?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAK2ydUrwZvl
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAAxZWIDLBqh
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANADLoQ95AUhp
Kakarot: “….”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAov7pZ66Ram
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVIZHNOZWkC
Kakarot: “For most of my life, I was neglected by the earthlings, I was different and there was no one to guide me through this unwavering sense of inferiority! They're like me, I want to meet them, I need to. Besides, I can't shake this feeling that this is my calling.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVzn9IZbTvk
Bulma hesitated to reply.
457Please respect copyright.PENANACYs5BqGJAb
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAuROe2rxe3D
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANATnKdgQfjb0
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAEWUR2QRgm2
Beet: “Sir!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAy5Mq76phRq
He came face to face with his father.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAf0ZPDfUfLT
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANATHgzO4x6c1
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHdNMBsz2sz
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAz871sFYiKA
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlGxwx5FCJy
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGJaV4UpGsz
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUbTTScpOLA
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9zV6AnTaSA
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAOQxApYgajV
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
457Please respect copyright.PENANArydgmnz1go
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANArT8bHLMcjj
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAcKp9tnVphu
Raditz: “Well, aside from me, the other two saiyans are Nappa and the prince, Vegeta. Unlike us, they're top level elites with the prince being the absolute most powerful.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZW8jxZOmKD
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA45MaNxWsEj
Raditz: “They are, especially the prince. He's the strongest saiyan in history! They're both proud warriors, like me of course. You're on your way to becoming one of us too.’
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGt0zyCveRY
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA0nZsO88LVh
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANARgRz7LZWEJ
In the span of a few hours, the pods arrived at their destination. The Prince and his comrade awaited their arrival, preparing to greet them once they landed. The pods crashed into the designated area, revealing the two saiyans aboard them. Kakarot fought to keep his composure, but couldn't help but smile after gazing upon the mighty warriors that stood before him. He approached them, taking a knee after reaching them.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAkJj5O5c8dR
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHoIkVZx3rR
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHIHWaoGKCe
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAj7WbOBWda4
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhg4MMxFNyd
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANADFOn5Y0MTa
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAF8XZwIJc0u
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAfEGymeMqdg
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1zulFCYxi
The prince hesitated.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAbKXNTwwbV4
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAuQaOR3ToLK
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA7vht0xnRjn
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFgWIAGmBLz
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAz6n4Vulwa9
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANACrX8BbRP4r
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAR89POukwkl
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQPTjAGh61X
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAT8quw1qD8Z
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA7oaMAq15s6
Kakarot examined his surroundings, quickly taking notice of the highly guarded area. The soldiers that surrounded them didn't appear to be saiyans, but they wore similar apparel. Aside from small animals and critters, no other signs of life were present. The vast land ahead of them was empty, only them and the soldiers occupied the space. They entered a large, elegant building with huge pieces of glass art, depicting an unknown civilization of people. They came to a halt in front of a throne with various seats. The prince took his rightful place on the throne as Nappa sat on a seat right beside, displaying a sense of authority. Kakarot and Raditz took a seat on a more mundane section, next to the Colonel in command of the Tuffle army.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAiudNTnvkOJ
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAsLpWFC6hsd
Kakarot: “Yes, he told me about Frieza and what he did to our people. I've agreed to help you crush him on behalf of the saiyan race!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9RyuHjhm54
Vegeta: “You've got spirit, but it's going to take more than that to defeat this scum. You see, aside from his troublesome power, Frieza also wields a powerful army. In order to get to Frieza, we have to get rid of that pesky army first. We've made an alliance with the Tuffle race, he who sits beside you is the commander of their military in fact. Having them on our side is a big help, but we can't be too careless, we need to recruit more allies. Until we get the remaining forces, we must lay low.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2CRwtjxIAK
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYY5vNGsf1B
Vegeta: “We've been eyeing a planet known as Tatsu. We hear their kind are great for combat, and legend has it, amongst them is one they call Amaterazu. If he's as strong as they say, forcing him to submit to our leadership could be just the advantage we're looking for!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA54GaRwTULD
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnfyiIiD4p3
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAa1loXHXyki
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAaqIVLjSmjk
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAcGRXRtyd8h
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAfVJIFoOMTh
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAaC1fWGzwPU
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
457Please respect copyright.PENANATFxgfjsjjw
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAp17jj6abuX
Vegeta: “I'm having doubts about your little brother, you sure his mind hasn't been corrupted from being away from his people for that long?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAOFO6oVf2yT
Raditz: “I'll admit, he's a bit of an oddball, but you know me, Prince, I can get him on board, just trust me. Take him to planet Tatsu with us, I'll work my magic.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZgtnAjG39K
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANABHWXMdRm31
The pair made their way back to the room where the rest waited in silence. Vegeta took his place on his throne, continuing his speech.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQw0ReXfDil
Vegeta: “Ahem, like I said, we'll be paying the Tatsu race a visit. If luck is on our side, they'll be just what we need to turn the tide on Frieza. Until further notice, we can't make too much commotion though, if Frieza finds out we're plotting against him, it's over. Now then, prepare your pods, we're leaving at noon. You're all dismissed.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAq8bH27coYe
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA558whm9LQT
Kakarot: “Raditz, are we really going to kill all of them if they don't comply? What good would such an act even do for us?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAcQHxqRoDAo
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA0ihMTLWhuw
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANACdyBiNuuQQ
Raditz: “Listen, if we let them live, there exists the possibility of Frieza getting to them and getting information we'd rather he didn't have. We can't take that risk. It's just another sacrifice in the name of the greater good is it not? It's not their fault we chose them, but it's not our's that Frieza enslaved us after killing our kind. In order to win some, others must lose some. That is war, for someone that has lived in one all their lives, I'm sure you can understand it.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAyHzivBbF4S
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnYCdLmQMIW
Raditz: “Now quit your whining, this is going to be your official, first real fight. Aren't you excited? Don't you want to feel that thrill again?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA82uWkhFVcB
Kakarot's mood took a sudden turn. A smirk fueled by excitement lit up on his face. He clenched his fists as if the mere thought of battle pumped up his adrenaline.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAgw2JliSnGL
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA8WlKr6oVSW
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAz6WTjM1lL1
Kakarot: “Please, brother, let me have another go, even if it's just for a few minutes! I want to fight! I want to be a great saiyan like you, and like Prince Vegeta.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAuCaAqSpOq6
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHeiNsOfa8p
457Please respect copyright.PENANAzA19hpXnXJ
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYfSbivXh9G
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA4SrGcUDNHL
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAzrH0Kdj7jx
Raditz: “Hehe, what can I say? Can't help being strong! Hmm… there might be a way for you to hold your own y’know?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAc0HtqFnMkf
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA213BD1xMhJ
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2s7eCTgWOl
Raditz raised his hands just above his shoulders. His ki surged into both of his palms, forming purple shaded ki spheres. He released them, shooting forward dual ki waves. He detonated them before they made contact with their surroundings.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAwtqmvZXrpW
Kakarot: “What was that?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAx4FuvPUNeF
Raditz: “That's my special move, I call it the Double Sunday. By focusing your energy into a single point, you can let out an attack with more power than your average strike. It took me a while to master this technique, but with practice, you should be able to come up with one of your own.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANASRBHpGjATD
Kakarot: “You never cease to amaze me. Tell me, brother, if Vegeta is the prince, then where do you and Nappa fall in the hierarchy as the last of our kind?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZjr1HJcNl9
Raditz: “Nappa has always been Vegeta's loyal goon. That bootlicking bastard serves as his right hand man, unfortunately, he has the power to back it up too. I, however, am working my way up to a similar position. The prince has been considering giving me a permanent role in the royal force.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJOxOkyndqr
Kakarot: “That sounds great. I hope it all works out for you. I, on the other hand, think Imma settle down with my family for good after all of this is over.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1SdasORqHa
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAR9BSv6jOuR
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAvCQaiXQDzl
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAENTTW11TpZ
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAc4q8WTknrJ
Raditz: “You're thinking too much about it. Stick around for longer, in time you'll find that all you seek is here with us.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA4dnrp9aACV
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAchQkB002dX
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAE9RCDyrKcW
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA49FfS3x5je
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAt06IGoRodu
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKrbBhpl58u
Vegeta: “The Colonel has set the coordinates in our pods. The Tuffles also placed some new upgrades to these sweet rides, we'll get there in no time so be ready.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAX3qNVNvCxd
They all nodded in approval to the prince before entering their pods. The ships took off at blinding speeds. Kakarot observed the vast, outer space in astonishment. The wonders of the countless worlds beyond his own planet never ceased to amaze him. Before long, the pods crashed into planet Tatsu. The squad left their vehicles to confront their next targets, but to their surprise, the landscape was deserted. Not even the slightest sound of a small gush of wind was audible.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAauGXg0DS4j
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6SgHvQLcea
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAszj7WvSyVm
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6FLA0Nbvsl
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAXVoj5bTZeO
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAY7hoVXw6qt
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAe6KliU7TTf
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6cT0jNZdqG
Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANACy0rlrbLwA
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAoaQlgKCR1h
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANACq4quqXtDi
The eyelids of the creatures twitched. Their joints cracked and snapped out of place before restoring themselves back into their original form. They all turned to each other.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnLKcsqPw7y
“Your foot is on my tail!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9LjU2ODHhf
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAeSgtmpxZu6
The two creatures swung at each other. Their fight created a chain of events, causing more needless fights amongst each other, before long, they were all partaking in a huge brawl.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAIxzTzsZRxt
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAcY1YOqbO6p
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGaUofxxjoD
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGqZokEAjQg
Vegeta: “This is your chance to feel the true thrill of battle. Join us, we're about to show these fools a real rumble! Let em have it, boys!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAPw5EGeckbg
The mighty prince smashed into a group of the battling creatures, blowing them away with the sheer force of the impact. Nappa lifted his fingers, generating an explosion that took out another bunch. A free for all battle royale commenced. Kakarot hesitated, he watched his comrades partake in the fight, feeling a sense of guilt for their actions. Raditz approached his brother.
457Please respect copyright.PENANADkxEh8D2Ge
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAceUK7K14wR
Kakarot: “Could Frieza even hope to interrogate these guys? What information could he even get from people as barbaric and dumb as them? We have no reason to kill them anymore.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAzgPqwCYh3R
Raditz: “They're lowlives that serve no purpose to us or even themselves. If we don't do it, they'll just kill each other regardless. Stop listening to those stupid ideals the earthlings instilled upon you. Your mind is telling you no, but what does your heart say?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGK5fdtzpaT
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAF7cZ56Hwsz
Raditz: “You're neglecting your own desires for something so meaningless. Go! Be saiyan! Show your pride! Us saiyans will conquer together, let them know that! I'll catch up with you later.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAyFrmL3Akuj
Raditz rushed to the battlefield in hopes to get in on the fun. Kakarot observed his fellow saiyans, watching how they fought. The prince made light work of the toughest of creatures, mercilessly ending their lives with single and swift blows. A smile overtook his face with every victory. Kakarot clenched his fists, fighting his urge. The unsuspecting saiyan was caught by a sudden blow to his face. The punch sent him to the floor. He snapped into action and returned the attack, knocking his opponent into another Tatsu, stumbling them both over. They caught their balance and set their targets on Kakarot. Without hesitation, they rushed the novice saiyan simultaneously. Kakarot struggled to fend them off, taking blows left and right from both. One of the creatures punched his gut, staggering the saiyan. His arms fell loose. His blood began to pump again, faster than before. A rush of adrenaline took over his body. He used the opportunity to catch and hold the creature's arm down and countered him with a powerful headbutt. He followed it up with a ki blast that blew the creature into pieces. He dashed to the other enemy, striking the bottom of his jaw with the palm of his hand and used the opening punch a hole through his chest. He immediately set his sight on more nearby opponents as the options were seemingly endless. He jumped into a hoard of the violent species and fought every single one at once. He took multiple blows in the process but returned just as much. Guilt, regret, love, hate, anger, all sense of emotion had lost its meaning, all but one, the overwhelming sense of excitement. He took blows from different angles all at once, the damage didn't slow him down as he leapt into the air and shot a ki blast that created an explosion which blew away a chunk of the hoard. One of them jumped out from behind, preparing a devastating attack. His efforts were intercepted by Vegeta who chopped his arm off and kicked him away. Kakarot turned around, realizing the prince had just saved him from potential danger.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAD7dKgjAm0G
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA7kan08hzrH
Kakarot smiled.
457Please respect copyright.PENANACkt3zVHtjO
Kakarot: “Understood!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmunQbIfNmW
The two leapt back into action, taking on the hoard, side by side. They fought together in a flawless sync, their fists complimented each other's style, fighting together as though they were one. The ground trembled once more, more violently than before. The Tatsu species halted their combat and began to flee.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAq3KLb2beHL
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAPqGPTY7gRP
A similar looking dragon humanoid emerged from underneath. He was noticeably larger than the rest. Flames burned throughout his body. His presence alone disintegrated bystanders. Sympathy was a foreign concept to the beast as it had no trouble smashing through its own people as it approached the saiyans.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUHSuclVuRx
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANABgLjf3iZzA
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA8rboCtv1ZI
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6PBzp6AAiB
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAOdsyOHJ7e4
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
457Please respect copyright.PENANADCQvIAT4Lm
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUptZ9ZcBND
Vegeta chuckled.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAX3twRaouMT
Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAzzp3Kq5Tya
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAqXw83B2fQZ
Kakarot jumped into action, pouring down a flurry of various strikes. Modora blocked each attack, delivering a powerful backhand in return. He knocked blood out of the saiyan and shattered some of his armor. Modora grabbed the staggered warrior and smashed him to the ground. His grip remained firm as he continued to slam Kakarot against their surroundings a few more times. His scorching hot skin left its marks on the saiyan.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAzWYe0VwY43
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnJzEWrQOW5
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAroFW6flV51
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAOpdyFkqxPA
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAPOLsGwyc4o
Modora tossed him into the air, he engulfed his fist in flames and slammed it into Kakarot. The powerful blow shot the saiyan through the sky and straight to the ground. He stood up, visibly injured. His breaths were heavy, but to everyone's surprise, his smile remained as strong as ever. He charged back into the battle with no doubts or regrets. He rushed the dragon beast once more, this time, sneaking in a precise jab to the beast's forehead. He continued the assault with a kick to his neck and ki blast to follow it up. Modora slid back a few feet. He was in disbelief with the sudden shift in power. Kakarot's body screamed in pain, but the mighty warrior could only hear the loud thumping of his heart, fueling the adrenaline that gave him life.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAe8hXSDSvX1
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA5e24CeX6RV
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAG4XPaoqQCU
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
457Please respect copyright.PENANAceTdUc8uHY
Raditz: “What the hell? His power level is growing!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAT1RNGh1VOR
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAqfsymi2nNk
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKa5sYFUyOZ
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAOarwUpPEJW
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
457Please respect copyright.PENANARj4sMf03Zo
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANArX93zXlzuQ
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFrz5e0Iama
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA0H5k7sPbEk
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAISCHAZViUI
Modora levitated towards the sky. He raised his palm into the air, where it engulfed itself within a ball of fire only slightly larger than his hand. Kakarot remained on foot. He raised his hands, aiming them at his enemy. They gradually developed a purple glow, sparks of overflowing energy emitted around the glow. He lowered his hands and clenched his fists before raising them in the same position again, letting out two purple beams of energy that circled around one another before merging into one larger beam.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAxgHLejXFvD
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANABRe1ESTSfn
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6FpBOBbtw8
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANATR8dNxeOjv
The attacks crashed together, Modora's flames were put out almost instantaneously. The mighty beast suffered heavy damage from the blast and collapsed to the ground, steaming from the heat of the blast. Kakarot's eager demeanor faded. Raditz approached his brother in both shock and concern.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAy0pr8T5kUK
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdtaUyk4yeL
He took a peek at his injuries.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAEsSbXLSJ9C
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAT1go3sdOa7
Kakarot: “I don't know what happened back there, but it was exhilarating! I never knew this is what it meant to be a saiyan.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAEKHDWlifEl
Kakarot raised his arms in the air, he savored his victory for winning had never felt so rewarding. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAs7u6M9Yt5v
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAP49dRNdY0X
Vegeta: “I think you've made us all proud today, boy.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA7TJ7VnjzZH
Kakarot accepted his superior's compliment with a smile.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA7VKR2qixLu
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKOjvQy5gA7
Raditz: “Kakarot! Look out!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAcm9i8Wv5Gz
Kakarot: “Huh?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAAtxYtDiPAy
Modora ascended from the ground with no warning, landing a clean slash with his claws on Kakarot's chest. Blood gushed out as Kakarot collapsed from the off guard attack.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHB2nlArgra
Raditz: “Why you!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1MCyW5Owb0
In a mere instant, the angry warrior smited the weakened beast with a single blast, leaving nothing behind. He rushed to attend to his injured sibling. Raditz held him up.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVC8qjNQwLl
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAewdguSYxbU
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKwOmj0N2f9
Kakarot: “What… What h-happened?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAzFw3Wxni9K
Vegeta: “Save your breath, boy. Get him to the ship, if we make it back in time, he'll be able to make a full recovery.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAOvU9MgKgnp
Raditz: ‘Right!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA0GGWuEAGPz
Raditz carefully lifted his brother and took him aboard.
457Please respect copyright.PENANADf9EVuEoNw
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ei6d9n3ex
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlqKKwcobFo
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmiObe88Asd
“This doesn't make sense, he could have easily taken a full power blow from that thing head on. Why did a simple attack like that nearly do him in? Hmm..I'll have to look further into this later.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAPR7ADpLCFd
The ship took off, heading straight back to planet Plant. Kakarot was immediately rushed into a room with medics as soon as the ship landed.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAOUHQ3s4Xz1
Doctor: “There's not much left to do here other than a few stitches and basic medication. Are you sure his injuries were as severe as you claimed?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vd79qbevF
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAbJwbmRgXX4
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdUDHdaWSMs
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANANWbpjOfF4e
Doctor: “I will sir.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAPj6UidzXeb
Raditz left the room. Kakarot rested for about an hour before regaining full consciousness. He stretched out his arms. His joints felt relaxed and more flexible than ever. It was almost as though his injuries had never happened.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVYEFOAdUEH
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAqxpuwgs5kk
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAP1h1wieWgX
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA46tqfyUnOX
Kakarot: “I see. I don't feel anything though.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA7BTBCZD4G1
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAD9TJcmRBJX
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZRrl3RMKi2
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANApaFERSgz2p
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAD9hUmjkidZ
Raditz: “Cool it down a little. This is going to be a long process, we can't just rush into another planet without knowing if there's anything of value.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAbctTwAKYNl
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAzkXN9MGoEJ
Raditz: “I've had that idea too, Frieza would never suspect we'd be hiding out in such a low value planet. To most, your world is useless, but to us, it has all the resources we need and more! But why the sudden change of heart?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAyQBIAkF6HR
Kakarot: “If I'm being honest, it's not really about the saiyan empire for me. When this is all over, I'll head back and leave this behind. But if I bring it back home with me, bring you guys home with me, the thrill won't have to end with the war against Frieza. I don't want to leave you guys, but I don't want to leave my family either.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHFhJt4Bd1v
Raditz: “If all goes well then you might just get what you're asking for. I still don't understand this obsession you have with your wife and boy though.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAars96Cx2kN
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAouFCBjjTmC
Raditz: “Of course not! Saiyans are born for so much more than that, we only mate to breed more warriors. I couldn't care less what happens after that.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAC6rEli3VZB
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJkrhZZhh12
Raditz: “Yeah, you sure do.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1WkaNG0fC
The brothers shared a laugh together.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAqt2OUXuy2P
Beet: “Sir!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKhb1HG0qoY
The boy eagerly rushed to his father and greeted him with a firm handshake. Kakarot smiled and patted his head.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZgsuYcZDLJ
Bulma: “You came back sooner than I expected.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUw55xXuPCe
Kakarot: “I couldn't stay away for too long, so after some consideration, my brother and I convinced the others to migrate to earth. That way we don't have to be apart throughout the process.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAqr92WFnZly
Bulma: “Wait, what? You brought them here? Are you crazy?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAEjROyJ001X
Kakarot: “They're great people, I promise! I trust them with my life.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qdy8tcqNb
Bulma: “This isn't just about you anymore! I want to be able to trust them with mine and Beet's lives too!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAuR9UCnRITA
Bulma looked over at her son and gently patted his shoulder.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAF6NCjplYFh
Bulma: “Go play outside okay? Let me and your father talk.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANASFYeerI9uu
Beet: “Yes mom!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANADuxpSIkIrz
The little boy made his way out, trying not to acknowledge the tension in the room.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFMkXjaajJ0
Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANApwTZD3EmJ8
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?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGOLjfVAket
Kakarot: “When we win.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmDhOTkoN5T
Bulma: “And what considers us the winners? What happens when survivors of their conquests come looking for revenge?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAiUpdRLEaQ7
Kakarot: “I’ll stop them.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAy9QJksfslp
Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANASoEVfLYDxG
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAL7lJPAYcPE
Bulma: “It is when that desire puts us all at risk!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANANR1axilJuI
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAplejOTNwbb
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9EdWImlv5g
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.
457Please respect copyright.PENANABIEdC3iqI4
Kakarot: “Beet!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAViN11unZes
Beet: “Yes, sir?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWNJUoewmBW
Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhSCQIHrG7s
The boy struggled to contain his excitement and followed his father. Kakarot picked him up and swooped into the air, flying to meet up with the other saiyans. They flew past some damaged cities with frightened citizens running around.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAomBdKzszOz
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAC2Dzxqm7dg
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAND5Wbjb3ve
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAztKKej0PRX
Kakarot: “They'll be fine. Humans tend to fear what they don't understand. Our family won't cause any harm, they're here to help this torn planet. You'll understand when you're older.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlo7ehsf0IP
The boy simply nodded and watched, incapable of shaking the uneasy feeling from the sight. Kakarot descended near a large space ship, surrounded by soldiers. Beet held on tightly to his father as they walked past the intimidating army. They reached the entrance to the ship.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGAHkAnO9p4
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANArQNa3mYHff
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.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlR8TljcYwM
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANADLOxkrDmBj
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHm4qCtYCja
Beet: “I'm Beet! I've heard a lot about you guys, you're all so awesome in person!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAsx19S2YBRs
Nappa: “I like this little one!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAXDvtiB0YuG
Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAxBbQZ8KlHz
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAXPtuioH7cC
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAbpedrBAz7z
Vegeta looked down at the cheerful boy.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAsk8lMTvSTN
Vegeta: “Raditz, I'll give you the honor to test the boy's strength yourself.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJEM7UBfYjV

457Please respect copyright.PENANAdxHfex24qW
Vegeta: “I don't care, do it again.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAPyV2dcQiBL
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFCDny62xxf
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAaLmVrVIzSy
Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6suywhmzLj
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAXWseZvx7kN
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2XaFJjh2RR
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAXzEnwKKidr
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAbhWP3G8tnE
Raditz: “I will..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJuC3QOqEhz
Raditz turned to his comrades.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFOdtJ7VCJG
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAi9ZuUs2m1t
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQI5T8DIdsP
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAqe29rbP6JZ
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmgpsIapo1d
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhrL83OaBzf
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnNFL8FPL6W
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlxApxK28FY
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZWp0ku37YJ
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmUYJhsyuZK
Beet: “Okay!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAEBgctggePo
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGyunyuHTVA
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVWmxjDWgaU
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1yU2X6S2OT
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAX5eEQALiQL
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWRschSmxuE
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.

Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAxk7lpF9sen
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANARZcNKtjv5M
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
457Please respect copyright.PENANAzukjV5ezq4
Raditz’s scouter went haywire. A powerful wave of energy burst out of the young hybrid's mouth. Raditz's eyes widened before jumping out of the way at the last second. He slowly looked up, immediately noticing the damaged wall from the blast.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA38qTeWdblp
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAsmaLAr4lQJ
He gradually lifted himself up, still shaky from what he had just witnessed. Beet fell to his knees, his body could no longer take the punishment.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAA63CeR0swZ
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAr2BnNUdhpx
Beet: “O-Okay.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAN4EqeO6CVY
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAT0mXtt4H8p
Kakarot: “What happened?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA0rqLuRFIMR
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6jYydXseMK
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAMAKYq7AC0h
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAi10FqREnE1
Kakarot: “Fine.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAtTPUOQxKlj
He stared at his brother for a mere moment before taking off with his son. Raditz made his way to Vegeta's personal room inside the ship. His thoughts ate away at him.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAqXBUcw5Cub
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAzMB7SoaFNg
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAIlIOpLllca
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANABy4EUz3Blb
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA7hWl8hdVRB
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA5AhvzhkGlk
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAiQucKg82id
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAuAEtBsRm81
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHR5D9RcmnS
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWhrTk3XlHw
Vegeta: “The spot you seek is still open for anybody who proves their worth. With that being said, I have faith in you Raditz. I know better than to trust your word, but your actions speak louder, so swear your loyalty to me and I'll continue to keep you in mind as my ears and eyes.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAw3jipaCuU2
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1vccxnI2xJ
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAH6BtHcRE8D
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANATPjWgu1I7I
Vegeta: “On the contrary, it means he has both the potential of an earthling and a saiyan combined, and that's not even considering it's the boy of a low class like Kakarot.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFEI3EB0eU3
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZWQXKhtRC8
Vegeta: “You're a sharp one, yes I did. If the rest found out they could breed warriors more powerful than myself, my role as the prince would be diminished. I'd be seen as a joke. I'll have to birth a son of my own to take my place before that. For now however, we won't have to worry about that, I've discouraged any desire to spawn new warriors. Frieza is our only priority. The only lingering issue is Kakarot's boy.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZP68QLTZA
Raditz: “You won't have to worry about him, sir, he can't use that strength at will. It will be a while before he learns to muster up that power on his own.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1nkQmFPtpG
Vegeta: “I see, time is on our side for now, we can continue to focus on Frieza, until then, can't let the others know about the power hidden within the hybrid, I trust you'll make sure it stays that way.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAIbsQYKrQqh
Raditz: “Understood.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJGzsi8g9fN
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmgqyKqEmHh
Raditz departed from the room.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHUdGXveYNX
“Haaaa”
457Please respect copyright.PENANABgrS9XkifN
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGB7WyfJRxG
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANABGG0DQbVC3
Kakarot: “Right.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFngxvrMcxT
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFj2P7WH8Dy
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAitA3eIx8TH
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhCm5869kxg
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAIl0KvB2cVs
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2Oz3a9bI5s
Time would fly as the saiyans battled their way through different civilizations, recruiting while simultaneously ending many. Their conquests would take a short pause in between.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKrXBX7BJy5
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA8yRCDzVS34
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAew1h7InSNJ
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA3zlCeYdLQN
Bulma: “The man of the house is gone for months with no warning and he's the one who gets to be upset. You stop by less and less every time, I don't even know why you still bother to come at this point since you're probably going to leave again this same night!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAXOkqpIV2Ga
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAeXZ1kyPgIO
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANApngCkufc3T
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWgqeTlO3vA
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJg607ZEX1B
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKc9zQNJs0E
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGHoDka7F2W
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANANX7sVqDeVk
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAODObLHys84
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAMH5mfn13be
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAd2JpwARVtP
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZdBskka9EU
Beet smiled and hugged his father. The sun couldn't have set sooner as Kakarot stood near the door, preparing to leave. Beet slept peacefully, unaware of his father's absence in the room.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAihKBx1j3aI
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA0v5tZfeVv8
Kakarot turned around.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUAT1MmCN2y
Bulma: “What happened to you? You're not the man I grew up with. Kakarot is a loving man that fought for peace. He was a man that protected and provided for his family, a loving husband and father. Whoever this us right now, I don't know you.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAc65oTEly0M
Kakarot: “I was everything you needed me to be because you gave me what no one else did, I never once stopped to consider who I wanted to be.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9Cj1XNC8j9
Bulma: “I only wanted to make you happy and to make you feel safe like you did to me on the day we met! You saved me from the red ribbon army after they tried to kidnap me for my inventions, you remember, right?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjEZ4eD4IgE
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAarwY7dTWfB
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAy6F4axsJaG
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjki6TbxHAW
Bulma: “You know what's the worst part of this all? Everytime you leave, there's this look on your face, this-this thrill! It's been making me start to think that you actually like what you do out there.. But my greatest fear, is that maybe, you always have.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANArVd6At3G0S
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAAzuwKJnG7W
He turned right back around and exited the place he once called his home, flying away into the distance. Bulma took a seat on the nearest chair and broke down into tears.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAMoGckFiJ9N
457Please respect copyright.PENANASnJ7wMxjez
Vegeta: “Alright boys! The time has finally arrived! We've gathered enough troops and have raised our own battle power significantly throughout the process. I can comfortably say we have a shot at destroying Frieza once and for all! Colonel!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYYuzE4XWfq
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4UOdo35Zt
Vegeta: “Prepare the troops and run the plans by them again. Oh, and don't try any sort of rebellion against us this late into the party. I guarantee you we'll be the least of your problems if Frieza gets a hold of you.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUnFkbuhwe5
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAgpAWtZPewQ
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdkW8xVA1CW
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAL27RkryL6K
Raditz: “Getting too excited for this one might cost you. Don't take Frieza so lightly. Remember the plan little brother, we'll see each other on the other side once it's all over!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANApobEqm67v3
Kakarot: “Right!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlYqxlbmVlO
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAX1Y4VuhUnQ
Kakarot: “Yes?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA8vSlnps2tL
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAcWQGQqFk2Z
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAbVtrWm6rSt
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUl3Tkfk0lU
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2EmqkRH6Db
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1cj8eZ42IU
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAuFbwcQ3Ihn
Vegeta: “Raditz, head to your separate pod and take your leave at once, we'll group up in the ship along with the others once the Colonel deems them ready.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAsbWnRhXirz
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJwN7j0Bp0y
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA3daYSa8YmV
Raditz turned to his brother.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAeLeShnZDc2
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANARoxzmOphJG
Raditz: “Right..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHkzK4pGE1Y
Raditz took off with his pod.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAyRT3EgOhA5
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhFqITRHGvZ
“Let me take a look.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlFmkdbmNZM
Beep! Beep! Beep!
457Please respect copyright.PENANAb6g4VssSs3
“Oh, it's just one of those putrid saiyans. No need to worry, I'll go greet him myself. I just hope his hideous looks don't rub off on my beauty.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAyJQT8IlhtV
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAkfujGf2GHi
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA7jYkbQkRdV
He bowed in respect.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAln2GbUFaos
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANABQ3sm9w8IS
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAExEdTDD0AG
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAC8qJnU0iQ8
Raditz: “I understand, however, I must clarify that these are urgent matters for we've gathered a lot of profitable planets and slaves for him. We have tons of eager customers awaiting his approval. Please, inform the lord as soon as possible! You wouldn't want to make him upset by letting such a big opportunity slip by him.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANACHrhPMD0bq
Zarbon: “Hmph. I'll inform him at once. My only conditions are that you stay by my side at all times, I cannot risk you pulling anything sneaky, I know better than to trust YOUR kind.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9K7c4zs635
Raditz: “As you wish.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA44JjZN6utV
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7Q1hb8yLH
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAumhtLnScd7
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAP6YYMhwKjs
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAfGfDYrx0zG
Vegeta: “Okay, I'll run it all back at once so we're on the same page. Raditz will lure Frieza back to his base with his proposition.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQicLPRDd8X
Zarbon: “Take a seat over there. There's guards outside so don't even think of anything! I'll step out to let lord Frieza know about your request.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANADajRePnku6
Zarbon took his leave.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGJYuS3PLQN
Vegeta: “Once he's got sight of Frieza's ship entering the atmosphere, he'll launch an artificial moon into the sky. That will be our sign to make our move. With this distance, the scouters can't track us but we can't track them either, so Raditz needs to be the one to alert us.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnz0xTi1jj6
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAiwzg5ygRna
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANASWZhPK115v
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGorQj1WnWn
Raditz chuckled.
457Please respect copyright.PENANANgFREKHsiW
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA60zvSNipXu
Vegeta: “We'll use the artificial moon to transform into great apes and hit Frieza with everything we've got! A surprise attack to finish him for good! Frieza never leaves without at least one of his right hand men, if we take him out, we get one of them too. Less opposition for us.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAeR2F5I1Tg8
457Please respect copyright.PENANAIUZXhhyI4N
Beep! Beep! Beep!
457Please respect copyright.PENANA51GYQ7vtpy
Raditz: “He's here…”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnBf7yBxRmv
Vegeta: “Once we've wiped that ugly tyrant from this world, we'll send in the troops to help us destroy what's left. Frieza has too many loyal goons that would stand by him even after his demise. No one gets out of here alive!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAy3T5YkPO90
Raditz took his stand and shot his artificial moon into the sky, smashing through the roof in the process. The commotion alerted everyone within the site.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAI9UADlhKfx
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAxHN3JoYaNN
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJdWlpGUK5t
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANARv8Ap8JHlu
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVgr3MBda7q
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQCmn1r4prD
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAatIg60BRqD
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhyDbug0NIs
The mighty trio shot forth their attack in union, obliterating Frieza's incoming ship, causing the remains to crash into the ground. They landed their ship and reverted to their base forms.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAI4o3yGesJM
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAOzArGYxXEK
Vegeta signaled for the others to follow his lead while the soldiers they had recruited went on to finish Frieza's army of henchmen. They approached Frieza's fallen ship. Vegeta lifted the remains.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA3JZ2c8M7Rb
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAC6CBGcSRQG
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
457Please respect copyright.PENANADFdaBPQvr6
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAW6tEFD2Roo
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAtT4v3QUVa0
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVTM9aUyTmv
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdU5XV7QVWz
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAgdcig8crNy
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZOIAAcYxp
Raditz: “Damn it!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJFYC7oxkHl
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAMs1qUN3qWz
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnOGnLBlrJd
Raditz shot a small blast at the ground, creating a wall of blinding smoke. He lunged himself forward at Dodoria, smashing him through the building.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1qRcNkMA62
Frieza: “I can't say I'm not impressed, I never expected a simian like you to be able to plan such a calculated rebellion. It's a shame things have once again gone south for you saiyans.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVB48cCBxGP
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA3WgPmgAr5b
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAo9S5qIO7Yv
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA5p2sSOLfJ6
Dodoria shot a blast of energy from his mouth. Raditz caught the beam and redirected it back to the sender. Dodoria was blasted away and crashed to the ground. Zarbon approached from behind, going for a surprise kick at Raditz. The saiyan warrior caught on just before the kick connected and blocked the attack. Zarbon was left wide open which Raditz took full advantage of.
457Please respect copyright.PENANARGR15PBCH0
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYAdJpLI1jZ
A ball of purple energy burst from Raditz's hand, crashing into Zarbon. The impact sent him flying away. He recovered as quickly as he could and reunited with Dodoria.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAaa43JkrQl1
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAA5dVZddzsA
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAEbA3Pw4hKf
Beep! Beep! Beep!
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKedfUQU33S
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAtYsWsXwF6X
Dodoria: “What is it?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYoS2836LXk
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZgXNwrvKMv
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJLVp8GXvy6
Zarbon: “Perhaps Lord Frieza made the right move in eliminating their race, their ability to grow should not be overlooked. We have no choice! We have to fight together!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQLZAslFtjZ
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhN8lqWCYRz
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAU4zrYdvBYc
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjitiyckj8b
The pair went forward with their assault. Raining down a barrage of various blows at Raditz. The saiyan warrior fended off every blow, but the overwhelming flurry left no opening for retaliation. He jumped out of their reach but they immediately tracked him with a united ki blast. He blocked the blast, taking no damage from it. He took a surprise kick from behind his head by Zarbon and suffered an immediate follow up punch by Dodoria.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAtq4vrJTRPH
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAURnb9J7ZPJ
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAe4YYBbI2Lj
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAgudITwrEtg
Raditz: “Keep talking you tub of lard, you'll be eating those words soon! Hehe.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAqfEUJO9HtH
Dodoria: “Why you!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANApbRuvHieRP
Dodoria charged forward with Zarbon following only a few feet behind. Raditz broke a chunk from the hill and crushed it into dust with his hand. He smirked and threw the left over rubble from the rock into their eyes. The impact shattered their scouters and blinded them temporarily.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnzsAS6Vuc8
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA4RxfBmV0Nb
The saiyan warrior struck Dodoria with a knee to his head. He followed up his kick with a blast that completely blew off his head, killing Jim immediately. Zarbon desperately rubbed his eyes, removing the irritation.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAM5Ha1CD2Fk
Zarbon: “Damn it! It's really come to this hasn't it? Take a good look saiyan, this is the last thing you'll ever see!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUdKikP3uA0
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA39LHfAxGG1
Zarbon: “Die!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAwt75gBORkF
Vegeta: “Both of you, stand back. Frieza is mine to kill.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANASclzfs7HtU
Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAK0ITYxc5Mu
Vegeta: “Don't worry about me. I'm fairly confident I can take him now.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJshyyigq5N
Kakarot: “We're counting on you.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWx3ets5P1u
Vegeta nodded before slowly making his way towards Frieza.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFbqEoyvyEy
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANABWp6PDp10j
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAheOOhtIJBe
Vegeta charged his energy, the entire planet shook in fear of his power. The ground trembled and mountains split. Without further hesitation, Vegeta darted to Frieza, rushing him with various attacks. The tyrant struggled to fend off the attacks, coming to the realization that the prince's gloating was more than just talk.

Frieza: “Haaa!!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlCuCEbvVqv
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHndwUEFj8i
Frieza: “I don't need any more of your little demonstration. I'm aware now that if I commit to this fight I could come out on top perhaps, but the other monkeys would likely intervene and ruin it for me. There's no purpose in entertaining this any longer.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA8pMelXSk1Z
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAp46tFVkD0m
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.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANArcEG3uBO9r
Vegeta: “Huh?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAzn6vG94ljW
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAtUCzntIp0f
Nappa: “I'm not sure! He's bluffing! There's no way he has another form!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA3D4SCV4VIx
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAxm5w3RUfzm
Zarbon crashed his arm into Raditz. He pounded the struggling warrior, knocking blood out of him with each blow. Raditz retaliated with a kick to his face. He leaped into the air and scattered a barrage of ki blasts at his monstrous opponent. Zarbon quickly recovered from the attacks and charged forward, headbutting Raditz in his face. Raditz returned the attack with a headbutt of his own. Their fighting took a short pause.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAxxEOU95KTA
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAiVWdq93Djr
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.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUFLWavTvf2
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFstPAkaRdJ
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGYuMTQksBj
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdIbwk75l1r
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQAARpFolZG
Zarbon darted past Raditz, catching him from behind. He squeezed him tight, gradually crushing his bones.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmrn40yKHdR
Raditz: “Gyyaaaahh!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA91dgY1RGQb
He yelled in pain, powerless to Zarbon's grip.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlYU6K0COXm
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWNkUNKZg0o
The tyrant’s body went through a terrifying metamorphosis. His limbs enlarged at different rates and proportions. His power level burst through the roof, the saiyans began to lose their composure as fear took over their consciousness. Frieza ended his transformation, revealing his true strength.
457Please respect copyright.PENANArgAugSbuhd
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA4mEeDeGQit
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAtWVyIR3JpT
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.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA61gYft0COd
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA4s6PijBYqQ
Vegeta: “You don't understand, fool, there's nothing we can do anymore..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUnl6WdqUYO
Kakarot: “Nonsense! We have to find a way!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAposbP0cQZA
Zarbon continued to torture the saiyan. His grip only tightened as Raditz grew more powerless to his might.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUxCtLIFgXQ
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2e5o8DbJ8R
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAfVS1mEYB73
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9zPe4PAF5V
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.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAuUCPUYGRib
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAbVCSdoODjV
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAsy9AugUrNI
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnNR1FTq0ts
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAMLdjtbHGjB
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.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWlWRDhl8dN
Frieza: “Y-You-”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQOlM69rMcI
Vegeta: “Haha! The mighty Frieza has fallen to his feet at the hands of the saiyan race!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUVOTnMzw4s
Nappa: “Poor bastard can barely even stand!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAX0CNp3TzzA
Vegeta: “Give it up, Frieza!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKv3rGSP3SZ
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAu5Z6SBev4a
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmc0kZ6f43e
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA3E0oVQ6jJE
Kakarot: “Not again!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5S2w9EY4m
Frieza lifted his hand, creating an explosion around them. The force knocked them all away, providing enough distance for him to safely transform. He went through another change, taking on his true form. All of his prior injuries healed.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAER9zdfnIFd
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQKulQ1vwqg
Frieza lifted his finger, destroying the artificial moon created by Raditz.
457Please respect copyright.PENANApl1mdOqi2o
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAI3Hsre4jsI
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.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUfhoPTPfQc
Kakarot: “Look out!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAsN684CRUXZ
He reached his arm out, desperately trying to get a hold of the prince and move him away. His efforts were pointless as the beam approached faster than he could close the distance. The laser hit, Nappa collapsed to the ground.
457Please respect copyright.PENANABQcSCGRWWs
Raditz: “Nappa!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAX9dIYVpxd4
Vegeta: “Nappa!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANADd2ItH7zvH
Nappa held on to what was left of his life, using his last ounces of strength to deliver his final words.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAcyFXEHXkgf
Nappa: “D-Don't let this… go in vain, Vegeta… Destroy Frieza!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhnizn97rr4
Vegeta: “Why would you do that?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAvvv92jUxvl
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1GlsNuNfD8
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAfuU3OZRvML
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!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAuafmuKBBEv
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9p0tQJKTAQ
Kakarot: “On the contrary! We're more determined to kill you than ever!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2POS6H3gr6
Frieza: “I don't recognize this one, but he sure has quite the loud mouth on him.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZEW86J6YZt
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANASNX20K0RuX
Kakarot commenced the battle by charging headfirst at the cynical tyrant. He lunged forward with a ferocious punch. Frieza dodged the attack with minimal effort. Raditz and Vegeta soon followed along, rushing Frieza with a flurry of attacks of their own. Frieza fended off the attacks with ease, demonstrating his sheer dominance. Kakarot continued his assault. The three attacked together in union. Explosions and bloodshed filled their surroundings as the soldiers from both sides continued their brutal war. Frieza raised his hand, he blew the opposing saiyans away with a wave of force. They retaliated with a ki blast shot in union. Frieza leaped into the air, evading all three at once. Kakarot rushed at him, swinging multiple fierce blows. Frieza dodged them all, returning a kick to his ribs. He spit out blood. The blow left him stunned from the pain. Frieza elbowed his cheek, sending him crashing to the ground. Kakarot shut his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth as he groaned in pain. He felt his broken body struggle to stand, and yet, against all odds, he stood. Vegeta dove straight in with a kick. Frieza caught his leg with his tail. He smirked as he watched the powerless saiyan attempt to free himself from his grasp.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAU1XtlcKKkM
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHUrwvSCaF8
Vegeta shot a ki blast to the tyrant's face. Frieza flicked the blast away with minimal effort. He delivered a heavy punch to Vegeta's liver. He spit blood and gasped for air. Frieza tossed him into a building and followed it up with an explosion set off by his eyes.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA4nOd5YLXd3
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKZTCSQ5JTA
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.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAh72ElVKYAr
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6kBwlXE0jH
Frieza kicked his jaw, knocking him into a building.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnAUX8D8Z3s
Frieza: “Such an anticlimactic end it seems.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAepy5YY2M2g
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAErrbz505Q1
Frieza: “You again!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y8aAI2IeY
Kakarot's face dripped in blood, his gaze was tense and focused on Frieza and nothing else. His fury overtook his consciousness, there was no room in his mind for words, only action. He viciously swung at Frieza, his blows ripped through the air. Frieza blocked a punch.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA7wcQL0mutl
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA0tscNHWHm8
He yanked his arm and kicked the back of his head, following the attack with a whip from his tail. Kakarot crashed into a nearby building. He burst out from the rubble, charging at Frieza yet again.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAkAHGcjPrKt
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAuCazF5Tw4B
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.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAy3kTvSTIkm
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAoBS84ckTAq
He lifted his arms, large chunks of rubble went flying towards the saiyan. He smashed through them with his bare fists. Frieza used the distraction to land a mean headbutt to his face. He kneed his gut and punched his jaw. Kakarot was powerless against the tyrant’s onslaught. He took every blow head on. Frieza kicked him into a nearby hill, smashing it into pieces. He flew after the airborne saiyan, juggling him through the air with multiple blows. He delivered another punch to his face, knocking more blood out. Kakarot gradually turned his head back, pushing through Frieza's fist. He grabbed his arm and twisted it. Frieza yelped before getting punched in the mouth. Kakarot grabbed him from his face and zoomed to the nearest building, slamming Frieza's head into it. Frieza kicked him away, creating some distance.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAsgCiOWD7i1
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAOysEzPu8QD
Kakarot's pupils were bright gold, his power shot up as his hair grew. His might shook every nearest planet. Raditz looked up from where he laid.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdMPIJhMYew
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAOH0DLfDPMB
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAgxw22afJB4
Kakarot breached the distance between him and Frieza, landing and uppercut to his jaw. He followed it with a hook to his cheek and a knee to his chin. Frieza blasted him away. He sent forth and endless barrage of blasts, each exploded upon colliding. Kakarot began to force his way through the blasts. Fighting through the pain. He reached Frieza who immediately backed away upon seeing him appear through the attacks.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKMuvGW0Khs
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAG3WuUoIeJ3
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAvoPkCpuOoZ
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2BxXgFJd3O
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ7uYBV1bg
Vegeta: “N-No. The super saiyan legend, he's supposed to be a golden warrior. This is different. It's hard to believe, but the one who stands before us is no longer Kakarot. Somehow he's managed to channel the power of the Oozaru without going through the transformation. Kakarot's been overtaken by his own strength, right now, there is no friend or foe, only combat.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGPkj3qtJP1
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA83zN5aB5Rw
Vegeta: “I'm not entirely sure, but I've seen it before, a saiyan gets overtaken by their own power and leaves us with no choice but to be put down. I… I don't think we can stop Kakarot's rampage.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANApsrQyECZva
The two clashed back and forth. Trading blows. With each blow Kakarot grew more powerful and terrifying. His body shut out the pain of his injuries, focusing all of its energy and adrenaline on the fight. He rushed Frieza with a punch to his gut, slamming him into a mountain, smashing it upon crashing. Frieza froze him in place in a sphere of energy and kicked it away like a ball. He repeatedly kicked it around before spiking it to the ground. Kakarot rose from the ground. His armor was shattered and his body was battered. He put his arms out and shouted. His power spiked as the planet trembled. He clenched his fists and opened his mouth. A ball of energy formed in his mouth. Frieza raised his finger.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJGaRHR1PAh
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAcdjpt0yWP1
A massive sphere of energy released from Frieza's finger. He tossed it downwards towards Kakarot. Kakarot fired a blast from his mouth. The attacks clashed, each pushed back against the other. The force of their struggle shook planets and stars. Frieza's supernova was claiming the edge, gradually forcing its way to its target. Raditz leaped into action, launching a special attack of his own to push back against the world ending wrecking ball. Vegeta soon followed.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAt5Ro7XTLrZ
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAM6qtPzmEXB
The prince unleashed his ultimate attack to support his allies. The three gave their all against the tyrant’s most fearsome attack yet. The planet crumbled, cracks formed on the ground. Soldiers were crushed by rubble or consumed by the planet's scars. Frieza's body bulked up.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVQHhxQdGfZ
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAp0QFRozk5F
Raditz: “D-Damn! We're losing the struggle!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANALXMHqvq84T
457Please respect copyright.PENANAa1166bXdDr
Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYfxxJUFca3
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAgTTTJLbYOe
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAPLnvvRQc6h
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhymXrueF8i
“Haaaaaa!!!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6s59ukl7Zr
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.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9atIrwsfKU
Raditz: “We actually did it…”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAMq4S4w4uPo
Vegeta: “Raditz! Look out!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAk3Y7b696zY
Raditz: “Huh?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUIBQsQRVqR
Before he could react, Raditz was struck by a mighty backhand from Kakarot.
457Please respect copyright.PENANACykQqjYCjS
Kakarot: “Rrrraaaahhhh!!!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAxYQvmZr1E8
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUKG2Ho8uwN
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAEQINumpuUL
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAbp1PeFvtsg
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYFcutFrTuC
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVv4FrivhGN
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6Eiebgc4cM
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAiEL7Sog0iX
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!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANApcopbz5bLM
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAMGZuK4weVT
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlrJ7yCgZUj
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAouEMdf9gL8
Kakarot: “B-Brother… I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQ16vbInwEL
Raditz: “Oh shut up… I'm fine.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAAxOBHSIE2b
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA4RVSirKBbO
Frieza used the last of his strength to shoot one last attack at Kakarot while his back was turned. Kakarot felt a new sensation, a 6th sense that allowed him to feel the attack heading towards him. He turned around and punched the attack away. He approached Frieza at blinding speeds. He stood in front of him for a moment, looking down at him.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdF5quM9upk
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA19C90JwPfg
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.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAELyYGi9pDz
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUksxiHLtay
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAM4hobIXZua
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAaSnXxhl9VV
Kakarot: “It's done…”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAeOsvKfoaYM
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYzqiOexiwt
Vegeta ascended into the air.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAt4clhI7wc8
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJAPcwFgs5r
Their military began to retreat back to the ship. Frieza's men fell to their knees, some begged for their lives, others preferred to perish than betray their lord. Everyone regrouped in the ship. The ship took off into space, leaving not too far away from the atmosphere of the planet.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAfvURbYWyuL
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA7JIlMbuipE
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmo6t608ylz
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAIQk41Xwzap
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAasm8yszxtD
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAIn3sDkRxM0
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAITWz1YbhZk
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAgH9zRh66es
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANATty1G83HQi
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA225uBxM6kL
The Colonel smirked after securing his success and retreated to another room. Vegeta on the other hand, couldn't find it in himself to crack as much as a smile. Kakarot took a seat.
457Please respect copyright.PENANALbIqxqCQYC
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1xybqD4GZh
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAtyPV8oaOIL
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA8XCWsg9GHR
Vegeta glared at Kakarot. His gaze was locked in on him for the entire ride back home. The ship landed on earth. After all the action, everyone was fatigued and mentally drained. They took the rest of the day off to rest. The next day couldn't have come any sooner. Raditz reported to the “Battle Station,” as per Vegeta's request earlier.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9bq3iptqv5
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQsC0PcLqNB
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAkXzLRHcUPH
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANArM8eCpjKnC
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2fGlav4I4
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAwOG0hkpObE
Vegeta: “With Nappa gone, his position has been left open. I'm providing you an opportunity to seal the deal for good and sit by me as a conqueror.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjBzNRw5bCz
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAwUkOnmPlz4
Vegeta: “I can read you like a book, Raditz, you're a notorious schemer. With Kakarot rising in the hierarchy, you've gained the perfect opportunity to seize the throne from me by his side and let your bloodline rule for centuries to come. But I'm telling you know, it's a plan doomed to fail.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAU0m7eDdji5
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA3zNHYECje4
Vegeta: “Even now you play your cards to end up on the winning side. Kakarot isn't a leader like me, he couldn't even bare the responsibility of ruling his own planet after having conquered it. On top of his uncontrollable power, he's unstable and ultimately unfit to rule. Your empire would fall apart and eventually all that power would mean nothing. If you want to win, you stick with me.”

Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmmeM0c0bSy
Vegeta: “I know your real problem, Raditz. This isn't about you choosing which side benefits you most, you've simply grown soft. His earthling nature has rubbed off on you, but both you and I know that this mentality is his greatest flaw. One that will cost him dearly one day, one that will cost YOU everything. You're a saiyan warrior, you know what the right choice here is.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYTutPuENln
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjPtQVSaYbR
Vegeta: “He has a soft spot for you, the same way you talked that fool into joining us is the same way you’ll convince him to leave for good. I can't afford having him show me up, it would permanently bruise my reputation. I need you to get rid of him one way or another. This is your final task to secure your spot next to me.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAY1hxkmTpcw
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”

457Please respect copyright.PENANALI3y52FJDg
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWuQIjCgK2V
Kakarot: “I've avenged our people, I should feel great and yet I feel more conflicted than ever. Everything was great and now I'm back to square one.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGNAr9VOAmf
He looked at his fist in shame.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAvJbwI9Eyeh
Kakarot: “That moment, it felt so strange. Losing myself in battle is a common occurrence, but in that moment, I feared nothing, not for my life or even the life of my comrades. I almost killed my own brother. I'm lying to myself, the truth…. The truth is I loved it… but it scared me.. Bulma… Beet, they're probably still waiting for me. I haven't seen them for a while.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAda40G8l1w5
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYXIPgrLYn3
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6KN7zakfA4
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAR8a9HAxagi
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAuDtgDcb0R4
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANACDS0HhBWrD
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1B7gYclaiv
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAkY0LRN0Km9
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANABCvNnNOWiW
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAMvpz64uwdE
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAOXHunxLsmO
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAAwHT1twfJS
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9g8KiU3IbM
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9fI2wUqnRc
Raditz: “One of Frieza's goons, Frieza had many connections… I guess they didn't waste time in tracking us. They damaged my scouter too, I couldn't get a hold of you sooner..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAAPoiOtZT5i
Kakarot rushed inside, disregarding his brother. He tossed aside the rubble that he once called his home. After some digging, he found Bulma and Beet, laying still on the ground, stained from their own blood.
457Please respect copyright.PENANASe1QEldBTL
Kakarot: “No…”
457Please respect copyright.PENANANds979zdip
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAgVpmG66K5z
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAkt7YxM80O9
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAPVDF2uT14g
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZN5crKJean
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6rd0TMryim
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAtvsgM0f32n
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ8uNrmaZe
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAG2Tq0mvMFe
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAeUC5NUMKTX
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjS7j5angVk
Kakarot sensed an incoming attack but was too late to react. Raditz shot a blast through Kakarot's back from behind, piercing through his liver. Blood dripped from Kakarot's wound and mouth. He laid on the ground, struggling to move or speak.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA8ESK2Cp1NO
Raditz: “I really wish it didn't have to come to this, brother, but the prince is right, being around you made me soft, I had to let go of you if I truly wanted to succeed.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJJBhd1Or0X
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAu5ALf94vK9
Raditz: “Back then when we destroyed the Tatsus, I learned something. Our power levels drop in moments of vulnerability, even the weakest of warriors can fatally wound the mightiest in such a scenario. To think your biggest weakness would be your heart in the end haha! Let my words sink in while you draw your last breaths.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAaHtO9CJGQC
Raditz flew away, leaving his brother to die. Kakarot helplessly looked at his deceased family, unable to speak or move properly. The rain left him colder than his body was already getting. He groaned in pain for a while before his groans gradually died out and his eyes fell shut.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAW7VoFLTTEp
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA4auHykx9IC
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAcMhJ3Cq4JI
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhFKbdNkU9s
Vegeta: “That's what I like to hear! I'm a man of my word, from here on out, you're my right hand man.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlp6fjRE2In
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUSubUtwxXs
Raditz bowed down in respect.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAq4AfcAss8O
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAy1FCHPZYQ8
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAsYXPyZZJKj
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQVpqy0pHRJ
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAIac6bPaH6n
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdebRztFnaG
Vegeta: “Well, looks like we have a mess to clean up. In his condition, he won't last very long. Assist me, Raditz, let's make sure he stays down this time!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAj3uQ27Y5Rz
Raditz: “Right!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYYa95gGJNC
Kakarot: “I-I don't understand! What happened t-to the saiyan pride! We were friends working towards the same goal! What about N-Nappa!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANADdoP7jN53v
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHU4iST21Yw
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAeBb9XtD3oH
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAyOg7iGH2H1
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAIqGjKe6G5S
Tears ran down his face.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAk7tgG7sql0
Kakarot: “I gave up everything to be a part of you all! B-But you're just like everyone else.. power, control, that's all that really matters to you huh? Saiyan pride is nothing but a load of bullshit! It was never about Frieza or the saiyans was it?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmXMQPDihPv
Vegeta: “Of course not! The strong survive and the weak die. Those not willing to do anything to remain at the top and nothing less, are mere weaklings simply waiting to die!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAMnIUHJibcP
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAF0j0hNzry9
He shot a blast at his fellow saiyans. They evaded his attack and rushed to attack him. Vegeta and Raditz attacked from left and right, overwhelming Kakarot with various combinations. He fended off the attacks but had no room to counter. Raditz kicked his injured liver, staggering Kakarot. Vegeta used the opening to land a straight right to his face. The saiyans kicked him away in union. Kakarot crashed through a wall from the building. They immediately continued their assault, following him outside, raining ki blasts on him like the rain that poured from the clouds. Kakarot struggled to free himself from the pressure, taking the blasts head on. He got a sudden burst of power and used it to hit Vegeta with an energy blast that knocked him away.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAcrkXp6Z5LB
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAfNa3CDQnCH
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
457Please respect copyright.PENANASId621OKue
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANArKyY0DCKMc
Raditz smirked.
457Please respect copyright.PENANA5XDRuEJQpw
Raditz: “I w-wont lie to you.. I really did care about yo-u.. Br-other. B-But that love made me weak. The w-weak don't survive.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA11uTlj3ZkU
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAazATgFgooz
Vegeta came in with a kick that knocked Kakarot off of Raditz. Kakarot got on his knees and rested his hands on the floor. Tears ran down his face. He laughed hysterically while simultaneously sobbing in a disturbing fashion.
457Please respect copyright.PENANANmn5hhl2jP
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAtvhSnX89uT
He pounded the ground.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAXkiX9aKIsA
Kakarot: “I should thank you, brother, you've opened my eyes! Both of you have! I spent too much time caring about meaningless, worthless things. I'm Kakarot, the greatest warrior that ever was and ever will be! I was only born for one thing and one thing only!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAtRXi3cWtQT
His hair grew in length and his pupils turned golden. His eyes developed a red, deep outline. He stood up, his demeanor was more relaxed from before and he had no trouble standing.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAvhCNx5BOE7
Kakarot: “To fight!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdRd35c6Psy
He dashed at them, striking them both at the same time. He grabbed Vegeta from his face and slammed him into the ground. He then turned around and elbowed Raditz in his eye, followed by a knee to his nose. Raditz held his nose in pain as it leaked blood. Kakarot punched a hole through Raditz's gut. He spit blood, holding onto his brother's arm.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFyc15veBPy
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKrvonNYdcw
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAvrpqAWCKdb
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
457Please respect copyright.PENANADvdSJuWwk9
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9cgb6Ube95
The prince launched a fierce attack. Kakarot deflected it with his bare hands. He rushed to Vegeta, ramming into him with a headbutt. He kicked him away and shot a blast to follow up. Vegeta came crashing down, struggling to stand. Kakarot dropped his knee into his spine.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAa7Xvc4CimW
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAj8b88tIQPz
Kakarot grabbed him from his hair and slammed his face on the ground repeatedly. The pain in his wounds diminished as his strength grew. He got off the prince and turned him around to face him.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAglf4ubOYp2
Vegeta: “You don't… want to do this, Kakarot.. I didn't want to tell you… but we've discovered these magical orbs known as the dragon balls… I have one in my possession.. The plan was to use them to make me immortal, but we can restore your family instead, you won't be able to do this without me!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANA3HexwjnD4T
Kakarot: “You still think this is about my family? Or even your betrayal? I've spent my entire life, devoting myself to other people. I spent my childhood wanting to be accepted and a portion of my early adulthood fighting a war to live a peaceful life with a woman. I dedicated the rest to a family and eventually to you guys. I thought this was all for me, but it was always for everyone but ME. But now, this isn't about the saiyans, this isn't about my family, or even about your betrayal, this is about me! There's nothing left to distract me from my real destiny and I've never felt more satisfied! So go to hell, Vegeta.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAgCc5Y5Qywl
Vegeta: “Wait!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUKyg0rvbji
Kakarot finished Vegeta with a blast, leaving his corpse to rot. He looked up at the sky, showering in the rain. He smiled brighter than he ever had. The universe's greatest warrior had been born.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlzeNjijLug
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8fUU0az8A
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJs0nscnFw1
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
457Please respect copyright.PENANALlz5XA1aY8
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjy8uBSOqsy
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!”
457Please respect copyright.PENANAx3ZbazER6v
Shenron: “As you wish."
