Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6SJyQDGcs
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNQS796ryR
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeXSSLH5yj
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehPp55x2tF
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i5QePC4AZ
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pBJdmhyv4
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI11k9BLBx
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HNqz0hEzj
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci3gOiLyDW
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEwAhIcjuK
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6Z859idmE
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2yN8VqV5r
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG8SHqabvv
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YRufHaTVP
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftYKxaWgy8
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGP9axyXuA
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIQ97QYhfY
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnIRPClJ7S
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvntHUEWZk7
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrFumfw0k3
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF8EMtjQR8
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h3e0IzRh1
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1brpDKhGN
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgcytfYRyf
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaBbF0hx20
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz4OuPgPjY
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXF8LsykMz
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQpUayqCyp
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHB6JGoCGw
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfZMKM79Vv
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c7B4tFJqm
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuDXJhXmkJ
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoOZEaer67
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSAF95Gbag
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZpZiBzl4p
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmADZZEzkBo
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdIWveK0V5
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDN7ZIzDbv
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtgoicF7H1
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLoSJvPklt
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXqiiFPAuh
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuR3HNcDOH
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZD8HeBBPp
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwaWMw9P6m
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMO0LkpntK
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sC0D6F1N1
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDS33t3NwD
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTXzw9n80n
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuokR1NnCaK
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujceutpH3i
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b3Yhp67lo
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecQBj67AeW
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvarcf3EH7
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTfYWvVPrA
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ko5Mz6r7u
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05mCGm9yU7
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGltbj9ICb1
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTQZo3lsBQ
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRHyrsjV8D
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdiBme360t
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUExxJWaLLm
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXH9h9Dne6
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBnJ99A0Ev
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHKAm9DO4r
Beet: “Haaa!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomgKFdv2Ft
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2PSCvJUPJ
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBP9JNyOTG
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctywDgo7HM
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBVKFxXpBp
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6cnbPmEfs
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsT9iZj2vz
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-”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3JJPztuy7
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijYj3W6gU5
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g4wRva6yv
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgJUU0cSqS
Kakarot: “Enough”!
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw8SpOEYGo
Beet: “Huh?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixWXbDGKSr
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcJQNgGBA6
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXMYoZPYyt
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN71b1u3aFL
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA9gSsuEmg
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjO6XJR3Tw
Beet: “Right!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiikMhWRufI
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUPfTzvZL3
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyWRDhKpFu
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M5F0lPY9u
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzdWcfrGQl
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZbhT6JfXW
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hEagfXsSB
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOyU9a4x1R
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmv8LkYUO0
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRhJKyD5gj
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetq19uCKoD
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyP51mUNzt
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzzB6z2CMF
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiJ1CyRYce
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyx9RxcT5b

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvSi0B2sxW
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkkwYeHtAe
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu2WdxzVox
“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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbaOhzjfDG
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8tIvYkKZq
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CP4BoBQt7
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVI4qWQPL3
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzSALS2MWM
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T5rRQ9qeP
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7z0DjDlQ4
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq9F3Q1w0c
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kGGeCZE9k
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWARc7xaJB
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTEaiL7d7c
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDktn8iPC92
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbED6MCzaRw
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9G1tOpl3W
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXUHv2Dm98
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92KLZ7GWHK
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzvzjAOCM8
Bulma chuckled.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7vfksPb0J
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitnURLJztx
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX18dhXFBBN
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1mr9akXHM
Beet: “Momm!!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W0EekEhtf
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEixCKqfHIL
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9x9B3B8Xu
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DOpKQqaeb
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TVwl7UXRz
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bpdzf0X0V
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGVY0pN7Vo
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyxpSbXWXX
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65ZrbeyBTJ
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeBBoloFE0
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOViBg2lRC
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOu9Wq8mrA
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAjuJgVnFU
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDp0Wtq1pD
Kakarot: “Enough!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShuANFRhls
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSioDPllh5W
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYDl05dfLd
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbV5CbdeC1
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf27DeCCjwo
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6o3YeWXXn
Beet: “Sir!!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDtjbgheH5
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0bp4QRKp7
Bulma: “Beet!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKlXVZ9mQ4
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtulwa58MM
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWNPklIulj
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l01wsM8ib
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiajeuaNKvr
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1hBVLrjcr
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyCg2XXu5e
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVjZjvI2rK
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnhu2pyZkz
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIZiuQbSvG
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmakT1w0bb
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkJZ1jU5qA
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRjHA602az
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0KeDJ0i0k
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dCkmTctcv
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiY5yJ73GE
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxBg6ytpSI
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmDd4ZFPcY
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtFZSzTDal
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnWk1etIVE
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMWI620KS2
Raditz: “You have my word.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSf9wvzFML
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpseG8sweP5
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQuUFIkPqK
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk18lq2aCf
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xT7LYETRA
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHa0kxugmZ
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzBrlHjw0K
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca6pR2qiK7
Raditz chuckled.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY37DE9jg7b
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBg5izIRpF
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5xXFFg3Xx
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJhMZivAkW
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoOsVQ2H9T
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCwY5BIrkg
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGNK8d5UY7
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3zVXTET9r
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgGAr7iuYP
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TGgwjWRAB
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXioQc60OA
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93obUFEyqL
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTElAuxNgw5
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5DxJRwmfW
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwTLeOFRVr
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO52Zh1alo
Raditz took a deep breath.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ3etHFIAK
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIYTvvj4F5
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoFD2RJEym
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZgTj1cWJm
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31w0TqlmIV
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPccbClwYy
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsXjo8mXWf
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHrI6H0PGN
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNJNwFiFYc
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MopXkp6eS
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCN9NiOFI7
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyWcnBFHGc
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2tvDDjYvj
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0mQ5GMii7
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWxI0HzKVu
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SlHMUtLuQ
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhG3e1UAXf
Kakarot: “The prince?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUNo2t9jYK
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnxXBtBZcT
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZUvZspMUW
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrSTfSBZa0
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsS9nTBVhc
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh7jTokhwf
Kakarot: “….”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k4CBJ3yqT
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5AFbwfa04
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT9rcttEO0
Bulma hesitated to reply.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x69yfDsEs
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoCPuCfV0e
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpeOZX4qfn
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNfoWOVBt5
Beet: “Sir!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX2lZkOeMo
He came face to face with his father.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzreW0ZNrGh
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps2ELnPueS
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmBzA1SWwl
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZi3bGOdIW
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdY9YwqwkS
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNbTS8p7i9
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc7HphdDdi
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSHwS1JWjO
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax8bPG1yw0
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLoOXhnAXL
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FgLQp5U6G
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCnHwN5yMk
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYb5acCDOc
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoQtBzGbRV
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.’
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTODE14lKA5
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybxbiKC5lZ
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALjkSWxe0r
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOjENRTsgf
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaqIQsKOmL
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsuaK3ry08
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEbM4DVwkr
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32aOvEGNb9
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVPDyZytAe
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcl1ZTzz3e
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNwGgZPp5I
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQZ2Jif1Fk
The prince hesitated.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8ZnOS2NRN
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUaiYuljnk
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNPVCvqMlw
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMWIrWXy79
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65F99ft7gw
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ677lxTtjPh
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoB4L3SPcG
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmhVIg2yYW
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqg91XtEcT
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WpJmgusGH
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y2obSmjWx
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZs14SU8QB
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDcYaPt2St
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphis0a2sVJ
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1beSp2Z5Yq
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgDRtya1Sf
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9SzEexH2P
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmE12MT4xW
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh11YNHakn
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y7L4g74PQ
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTJ6brfmFq
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAXpuKoJ35
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm3SclBk4D
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfzPhEH3Ay
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbR8hlLKDV
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmacbYezVVa
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uzPKAWogl
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE16vazAm8
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6cQhMpDc9
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW1I57CNGr
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFqfTELRht
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3p1CiLzVg
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVHT528Mjh
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD8si4Eax5
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcpDoH1W8C
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbcVr3MG3T
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNcANvklTQ
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz72kiV0P2
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWvWpQfpkT
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTWqslx2bY
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgfTPUuS8P
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86RJq7E2lc
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqr5nrBY8G
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuZn2CyCGj
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1vh2cVcTc
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIZ3CWeRj6
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqSsN4LujD
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchifq1Dmas
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDuDMsl0Qv
Kakarot: “What was that?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPTMdeybUv
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5MH3fT78e
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RgjfrYjgV
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw888go3QEf
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfZ9PU0dlv
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN9vZSoCD0
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZZS6IS5ZA
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztboi9UOGV
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHdRscR54m
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oiHZqhIsY
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xmyeg5Yc8
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGflvOti0Rm
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQLW06cwCk
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDXxcM8IS3
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHCyTRc7nK
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk9AHKmyZh
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.

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMyErzzvVn
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS51DPS8DZ7
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXkLm9hNdc
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOzuckyMlb
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9STmRtmq0
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN5PuSWZZs
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3okpoIFMg
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhvSiyIhoj
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOWNOEhDpb
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2d4m8v11E
“Your foot is on my tail!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOYVEyyuHG
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3UMOnZfgE
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsAdHnVlWl
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKKvpeIcHf
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHwFT3BV7R
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwCv1u2VZP
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4DE0YnTeV
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAMmdQfK0m
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp5FWP03Q2
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaWG8ktgLz
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN3fUvadl6
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD5Sj4KuCf
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqiRePiVC9
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUoSY158dI
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jJ4k0r9Yj
Kakarot smiled.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4rmxboWLN
Kakarot: “Understood!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69syp9GcMd
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUHIFbD1qU
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZgCbNT6cu
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG78Mt1cXDt
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOojEo09y2
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOLgsiafLj
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVSdLXnTBm
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqAIsuvWj8
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFKOGAOWuq
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pcMoR1Wza

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfnyV1nOw7
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5m9G6wuSP
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcul9mYSsSM

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr5tn5KcdU

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDwSKKudzy
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd9z6TqTpq
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRNbier58E
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0rpTT6g9t
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZLgHZKJW7
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jtVEz7x0G
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCn2Y5CXWP
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeFT1zHtAS
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiFzWOOjAB
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6aiMT6R33
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH4Kvzk86p
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbhx7tS5QX
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT12dqAmVzP
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlmrl2WOns
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl5QLeERjO
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRheDXEK7d
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wNrZJ6TEb
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXCtDa7qjL

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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmokpdb3z14
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.

Kakarot: “Huh?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6uN73p9Og
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LSJfIszUg
Raditz: “Why you!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86w4G89Eub
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1dpvh0RY9
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJfvwQFViN

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC3KIjr4RW

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSjCnd7ETZ

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID62P5xC04
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyRDu1jppw
“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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9socCtycS
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb3blroQzR
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngTaENAoPK
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1nS8fJrFU
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSU3A1Mze2
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtMZ8m6c7j
Doctor: “I will sir.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiei5rQvY1n
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlLxf7MFXw
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkQcBCy6OR

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs32UHENK5v

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSJUJ0Y0DR

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOXVIsMC0N

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5tdtlTpJi

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1dUCiepAP
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDRIDQOAio
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgVcAA04cy
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdVcJlsOzl
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAdUxJbVvC
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUyLnz9P9L
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4nEjPk2ol
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZR0TDpD5T
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmqkhnAe1O
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.”

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB2gGqpIFj

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdshXDKvydL

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEpPboF2Eb

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp4vob26Kz
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6GyXJylQe
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqow55XPhg3
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AXLXL9hF3
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4vHemJFkV
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vqp0WwC9I
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.

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXavw4ZQ6Ab
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDedN9kKMQ
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta: “I don't care, do it again.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmriZmUUOh8
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmwbbXeL1e
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrFjkjuZmq
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g73FYeuVC
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU57rQ0uTCF
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvASUPZxvJ
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5c33ouxl5
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjZv2HR8CB
Raditz: “I will..”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAIsrv3b7i
Raditz turned to his comrades.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwR8qCGC4L
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LPTBaZ0gy
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xOmQ8w6Kx
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV9eEptJht
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWxmDMutZ5
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdXE3wZnIY
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZWF6NJOvv
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotL8AReWtS
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCy94fVKL5
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaGoHE5Om0
Beet: “Okay!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdtupRuJKT
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVj586DJMC
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzpQtjtJjA
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jHM7iDKBL
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngFwYVgMct
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI5Tu5BpQm
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZwrT0jJyZ
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBaK7AjwgR
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYZ5kxKZ55
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu6Uyzo7He
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXqE5PWle7
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwt6TaPSX3
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjyJfwN6iX
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheGwHkgID1
Beet: “O-Okay.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfitocyu2Dl
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiFiJt5dUP
Kakarot: “What happened?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh0lodoDWM
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FmwSBnion
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsJE5oAYOs
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqBMWlRveg
Kakarot: “Fine.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOOxXobKLJ
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwhDPmlcdu
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2gDZ6FApO
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXGBgo7zW4
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69sKlXRdoX
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK86k9JmqTo
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaHJGb9HgD
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNV0OHAsw7
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuaxpFQodH
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExjgMDduWV
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArAFY1LQeY
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh8sp22Vrd
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBt6V6pVO6
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA0kgHyWwZ
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ViovyZyde
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5y6KHodmG
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HjlfPlg0n
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDE2Z1jTvm
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3oPPjdiHH
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCXHdLncpW
Raditz: “Understood.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KSfnvdMu5
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqqAH7kpHh
Raditz departed from the room.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CKavcMAch
“Haaaa”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw3HWzoTMe
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYndarDH24i
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4C0mdvIHp
Kakarot: “Right.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4qbpo3j54
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlFKV8IzMc
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDYad0bw7N
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBssMjbKoP
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPboAXhpVjn
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yIpo1QqGH
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4bPJP27GU
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo8PGN8Zgx
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8yypsasKR
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUIKDqgcIR
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDfYm1GOzq
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe4kUDmAdf
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqvCjwLYN5
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtDZnLpJko
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsS0LCH5r9
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo5FaV33Ha
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl9wYCW3um
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3McJ1oq1lV
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVOP94sgXn
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt18bIToCD
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG92pR4uSy
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOX1BubPj3
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoDuFD2tKq
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhnBPeMDql
Kakarot turned around.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBKgFBpqCn
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXQHeLJ0yJ
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmERlsw5ryz
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8JXgryc6L
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4oOV6n7Dw
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfHm2jpWQY
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJj1m45lOh
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNgsIscEUK
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4yhjpCJi9
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVTiYYkxHw
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7SNPCR0lT
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblmM04cA2Z
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRAw2eriaB
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy6icPpJJH
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6f1bCrd5I
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2nEk2LRmq
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W8RK4QniZ
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzRfYYo6Z6
Kakarot: “Right!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4nl2RE98X
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWrRVN5R6F
Kakarot: “Yes?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVlxBETZNW
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHyxtwzGwY
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KdXWnLIgw
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZufyl08ReQ
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c3656A7zK
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDyYoglUqy
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbSGIphg5Z
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aNInJvnRp
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ngg9xaOZs
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqn5CDhOCd
Raditz turned to his brother.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyax1K1pi7P
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAxxDR5VZ5
Raditz: “Right..”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrDxxy72Qs
Raditz took off with his pod.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Xgk3lu7H
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr0njUB9ek
“Let me take a look.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDgomtpSCu
Beep! Beep! Beep!
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvb6dZKghb
“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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfMYVdqjmI
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6huGzqWSAJ
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWzcskTsAR
He bowed in respect.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvWFDPxgKN
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMvyrodBic
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf16tzrUzOa
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwjhQeLycK
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfRUP1crKy
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuieNdMx2H
Raditz: “As you wish.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOhhPF9144
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn81H3Bpzx
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVK8FhWPWW
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPryNBQoYDz
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBEhctcbz9
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSY0AV046b
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqNKUqaNHy
Zarbon took his leave.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI6SYqIXDQ
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNNrp6ugRb
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXLu5hVRcI
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xBUM4KRZV
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco8vycZdUP
Raditz chuckled.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsOlZOo8fj
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCB27PGjdT
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA2hY91gG5
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTuC2idd21
Beep! Beep! Beep!
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEMSTmmjof
Raditz: “He's here…”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ20QG7fzK
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdkIyJ6P9K
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbSyDG6Ca7
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan3uRdmPmE
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDF3QxyCfw
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF0xIV0S3U
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YFzu7FmlT
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9Sh2ghB0p
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFII86PeuZ
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKOhD00Tzs
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EkRJ0aReE
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHVbbeKZTM
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmgCTHcNss
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTFuCL74ut
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TdBAYmZ9D
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfklaxcVcd
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpBFr2378G
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUYMT65CkT
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HhGVzgBkP
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNXrseYcVo
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZILbi8GGu
Raditz: “Damn it!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuckMZ4kCF
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd100kXvWbm
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDohnaEyL1P
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRAdzqMIPp
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhUwY7pP59
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAmJRbJqKq
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm2mCI6Hz2
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDYBcPvJZP
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRgzNfMw8I
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeOgfbpK2o
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwvnaD9Z6I
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlzhRCz86i
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKFF0vJ7Lg
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZyOrsh2HP
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjRJ0eXzjh
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBR0I9K5sZ
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOwIHg9cts
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoF3gwmcYv
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U9I6vuz0v
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXxn2tAxox
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPHjJNCRc9
Dodoria: “Why you!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri0mHpztGO
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcPuHnrRj2
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhsDh6XK5W
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n0V6o1acC
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!”

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBUWWGRrbM
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn0IZVpAFy
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXyMBNOIY8
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN4TTsvAPl
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb86EjBAAi
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza82YlCTfw
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47o75ZMyJn

Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0sEVS6EGG
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yuPqbFBCY
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJumcISLsUq

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre1p3KUGSG
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvQdUiFMmR
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rinlot2e0
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.

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmIm1R7sVj
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.

Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNnIt4jbEB
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcc8Mt8pyH

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2aszZ8M8t
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUvykXTRsK
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JEmq6i76t

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1D0srtftI

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlWtD09Yje
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0mtLw55j5
Frieza: “Y-You-”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ5wO9tiUo

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mPpWj3wWN
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dV9HcwIwg
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicIRQPKDHW
Kakarot: “Not again!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIJ5ZAVrSJ
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUQ3am7Sbk
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGYm5kuJq8

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj9ryk7eyd
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQjoO6f41d
Kakarot: “Look out!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYa4oAXxMl
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.

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AG5CTQy3E

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNveFi08lp
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHlvhy7NHb
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6PrKOgyQB
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErQCiRfdyy
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59nlynfQzO
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkevVhP44yF
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2p6h3j13q

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5dKJtdGcN
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVaUsWH4hb
Frieza: “You again!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOOyqwzB1D
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtYwzM9VnL
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f4hu7JKTm
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCK3Lhe9ly
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ya4fWKNO0
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZJKg0K2AO
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntKPWGOCJQ
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zeggO8SKx
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb2jFbE7We
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVbUHwprfE
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERmhr0m6OO
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1TFNJ4IrA
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHJO4Q363u
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAJmYoxF3i
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMefZIC5Xcu
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmcrG830kz
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJoB1XOoXU
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OgyrDJyZG
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwWdrQvYbG
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIiS0O4wLk
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbePVLr2cHb
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIYroKwmuH
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYCeyHcllU
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vqJb5MZ0b
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqEqsgdYnD
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY6WgX7ziR

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVFSYGzdkC
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHYgsdEGpu
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnXAqGGS41

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53SOrCJBKj
“Haaaaaa!!!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0ARBDd5oo
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.

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGvhon36uQ
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfesyDgFys
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVy28jYcGh
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pb8zVfjR6
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4GZac6cZb

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Q6Yfig8Y
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsmlqpx4om

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZWKSCj3wX
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdcm9i3Edk
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwVKEse2Wd
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvODhu5EPd

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw19TV5ntX
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.

Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJddtfPait1
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTbJcbIqfh
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLZ6Iffnrb
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OVQLr7FeI
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94MF2q55mO
Kakarot: “It's done…”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OcoADuWuk
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk7lJisMtd
Vegeta ascended into the air.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZji7LX69YK
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj8gXlHwY7
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRCss8pga9
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc26f5MOIh5
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32tr4OfUCS
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjQEoNptgB
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVyjs7uIuV
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3b5u2KaxP
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMYz7TtGUv
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASgp9yNHZA
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Oo2yKz2Cv
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9txLtXWDo
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQeixpy4oD
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyENEuzlu3d
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmOpl19o4D
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj6QR1p0vS
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlIJxRLV3G
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zxAHvL9V1
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPR36UzPBd
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3nwvs93xr
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3GYCQKWOW
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV6UYQOdfm
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfWrzaoQun
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0VVsTFH9c
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlvLj3Cl33
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6slu9m29e
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Mw0wWGV1
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFpYjoTIXl
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxUuQR2RUP
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXIFMaNkYc
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjixxvDpQw
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqCTHeJpTG
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJijYIUKDH
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4aNKNHy73
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bpzAt2mDV
He looked at his fist in shame.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcPSjPuIIt
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj3L3ojlap
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjMaIDqWvT
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFN27E4Yn8
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2l9qixhhu
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNzq4UOLY0
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55nRn1QbZj
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JYnIWdzlU
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD7QwUaof3
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw4mXmxZBg
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIAalCSaOZ
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUkSRmmaSV
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhySpGFb8k
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovdKO90XJI
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzUZVt7s4o
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..”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ444dHWM6QQ
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgSUbswyUV
Kakarot: “No…”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmfLdL0zCa
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzhYerIxCq
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMO8KXoEOC
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXG2XFygf7
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xdJI3RXt4
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokmFnpm5RE
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlP2J4VUSW
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1z4aP8sC6
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgh3Z2H3Pl
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8Vkbit2rZ
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HezJF82zD
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJZAgI2rGo
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJSvEFQEE6
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2CQDSto3A
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkixC5TxR34
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6NHkNHkfY
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ654KyMUGrh
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCbch48Qw5
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW047SIa5U
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiNfhmfUEb
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOH0SfXhIc
Raditz bowed down in respect.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ81wIrnSXw
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXmuDxNWCw
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfY44T2Tv5
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RoVXAdZyv
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKhVrp98sf
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr06FNbZyEg
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4YHUkbdud
Raditz: “Right!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNCHrQgLUF
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk06ERy4wVO
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM8yJQJfh0
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRuTSXhWmO
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4wpcZ3a5R
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRPl7p1AIu
Tears ran down his face.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJmSfdNHfw
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxmzqEs2zb
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1exkN0K46n
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPHEZQ1iJj
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfq7ntw3pS
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xHfZiQhBv
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun8xl47Qop
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sWfYL94sD
Raditz smirked.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVF4gTzGg0
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmzcxHfugf
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkv63ixkBM
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qYOC0geQY
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iIgWv2Qfo
He pounded the ground.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hrC0fExic
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1dLBXFbOk
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIGxBKcHvZ
Kakarot: “To fight!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxDeLgDWCm
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwlqggrHer
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRymGMC4SXG
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MfRp7qoHn
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWp9Cz27sx
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZeC9SYroj
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE96fEyhRX
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGVpqaHys8
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuG1Idoeoo
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFwbwA2WbN
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9VQxGcr3a
Vegeta: “Wait!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV4FyX9uW4
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFso6ks3v6z
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuR49sQXqs
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9h22x6daX
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLuAXIOpr4
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBJtT4o01A
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!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF4IWl1Y2C
Shenron: “As you wish."
