Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4k8nbGgFp
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGe2CrKaLk
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGhxMOJjTN
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytyl3uwLfA
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7egtuOvRz
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXtbx584we
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hzss8f0tt
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw1zvrXsvk
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz87m3a7PQ
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn3RXMZZsD
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY16RkAPBU
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnsnoI90MO
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jJLyMxDT5
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h6u425g2N
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw8TkSbPpi
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gtws0GbNj
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEJ9NS75Ko
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3MQbmbuTS
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c1m1roGdA
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMbZIgedd9
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc67LnGpUjJ
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQeeQYCzS6
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqiWs1ZLEP
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJdBBETHIK
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR06cRSgoB
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLQxzZZbN6
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1ed4TGU6q
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjZtO3qPun
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEdEqBKGmc
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOym3gJgtmx
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1Ru99GbxD
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq9hVsCT18
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CrwAJaZL5
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCovPXdT7v
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnpv0XOY1x
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC0rY68iiY
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcfQIfEx3W
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyByiemfnaZ
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwLDKFaAqZ
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vgh98sZpS
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7csoXYVgO
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUXNUdd3r8
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT0XDLtMNc
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9TN0UKZS4
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5kz19UXEh
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hrYrEc8RP
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9NUlWqyWA
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GVWmPfkq9
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOomjnvmpa
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWZIXCC3Qm
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLogOfSZofF
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mcXSW4fu3
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxToXx3fJW3
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcDp05HJZT
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93WvLMQWdL
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcUdZsaOtw
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRab3RPlWn0
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFzeQulmRe
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6Me1LC1tG
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTfPAAMPoX
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnRLed0Tqt
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnwLjlXb2T
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj4DCnzM9x
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJeZNAlfFY
Beet: “Haaa!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x8OEQQGjj
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3aNvnpW9e
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGHHEPounf
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge7k5EBtd1
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4vroVNHQH
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgjJf20Yxw
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgib0ZyF7Kd
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-”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgrjatsvB8
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAcWQ63tGR
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8sdmHoSIB
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENfcQuRNWU
Kakarot: “Enough”!
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX6Buhd76Z
Beet: “Huh?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPrQ8gmQxm
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaD2RuwdA9
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCwrAoCQlj
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTzQenu8zC
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPYGNbEiqS
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKD94RQipf
Beet: “Right!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WzH8lvI7N
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNq3e2IFD0
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHe9EGtiBP
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jzg11grA9
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgNfNxb7as
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fLC5Rd5e1
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJVOB0FyfD
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIRyRi0X5b
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgC1As9K6w
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26xbmSUxYx
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv4QjeFGSh
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC09N7MGya
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivgt1mHCPz
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYZyQNkyNu
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF0JerAnXR

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa9h8yTQgg

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv9T950x2p

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuwlnPx3Ev
“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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSL3uQXEjN
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XbWFmWYYx
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lau3V478r
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO48o5pEi8
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.

“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdq7IG7Z6Z

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfs0R9Kq1V
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRs2YRoFBA
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP1I0X0asY
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoOACGrdsl
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokOuEhBjQi
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISTqCEkGiX

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JHuv1nRvO
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6zeaRe3d7
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK4912rgiQ
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxmEoXTHBi
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuW5nxsK59
Bulma chuckled.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFydSHkgUcv
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHTF49RZ1K
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpvhYne7yh
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK3Bd4APUH
Beet: “Momm!!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhkqUIvRkq
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GFjPrcjvr
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1w8ixCrXg
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMdY0FAFwl
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoluGWhpBWk
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLGJ5W0Qji
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlu2VlJoHp
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfLROqRca9
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToLKsEqBpo
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwi8Z5Vuwg
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEJGiuY1fu
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOyWJeUhbI
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Y6Q2sMrB
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrRnxdqCCM
Kakarot: “Enough!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D4RZ5bOay
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6kK5gMkID
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLCodQWDYl
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9OJ3wMcEE
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X2yIm0rYb
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboG0QRJ7RN
Beet: “Sir!!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGp42godXb
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31d4hxiy6R
Bulma: “Beet!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWJno1CmS0
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPLsf6zZSS
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuhkXBqMm3
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDccgouDlrl
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ9glL2OLP
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkEIllx16Q
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkm06TBnav
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAEGjcvHaN
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuavUMHCMF2
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70U15KHfxw
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQElyDN7fY
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ3Xujys5d
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1NSHgZ5At
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdTT5wkWlL
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmNCVZ4xNR
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX79Q6c7qNG
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4bEJNeCft
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM4oKKEDPy
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqzUE0jOsX
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Kl3075qC
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoNWwum6MG
Raditz: “You have my word.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHj1YAhewL
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCzAscrWeG
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYodcox6aKa
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCOAHOM7t9
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU9UKDwVLX
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D8p1GYvf9
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?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6fTdGjrd9
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFotgQKHrs8
Raditz chuckled.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZmPGwjGAZ
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNcbiOhcYP
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zw81mIqNZ
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvhoLiiyDm
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh1qsXWXYv
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFINpp419iG
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iENUbYCB8
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVmVUvGNja
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrATuDMLNCA
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQnk2hFtAp
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOAFQeVmpp
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbax0TSpqVz
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGfFSpuo3m
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvqNfkGvOX
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJeUkXtCZX
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dWpQvnhDO
Raditz took a deep breath.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlRkGbKQDH
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGc94sgDO3
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks0U2knAai
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkudf9NObK
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxBdG71Z0D
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLv4GNJvow
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?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFeox1iy3H
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0nboyprTL
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q4lyk4vGy
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQUB04LGEJ
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkE5Ah4NQm
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c5T92ry8u
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5XNcJJCP0
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlFnEz1TG8
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?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVuAAMoGmP
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH55MvTGw5D
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooJnKU6orr
Kakarot: “The prince?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSLPbcn0jk
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUQAAc4kEH
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQKBYgry1H
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?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcaHCo0dlY
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNdTut7btc
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1toaco4ur4
Kakarot: “….”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHeqBIlk4q
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIiqQDncKM
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLR3gtNNQi
Bulma hesitated to reply.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFagmuayXO
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Z5MMEDSr
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs990Kb3KCY
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgixlbZzXbW
Beet: “Sir!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkTmd9Df50
He came face to face with his father.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPVaUUoaBy
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQbWoiuScK
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEDidHKhdD
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX9Fwze1Y0
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz44TA5L39m
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BJwj4It2q
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLNlcXiiIR
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP0WzfXqwJ
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw2cR0v0VZ
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpKocprASZ
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLomlb8uCdR
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvHnXYXfGl
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u3e22L5rf
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP49pZqVvC
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.’
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bg2NpBqsr
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUSYtLDfEB
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzcLeuVVBq
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X7CQzAeVf
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0DHKMMlYi
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTOpRVC5Wg
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF1yuq7BUt
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUiWygXdYv
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvvVbZvKXp
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux7DI2UWhx
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwqaR2MenM
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy3pOlslJ7
The prince hesitated.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0AX1Nt8CL
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUip69qmAr
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DEOchwG5w
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2xfIKZiSJ
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuPvNvg0dK
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4JioTecDb
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3elKuasnf
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOjTEP91gj
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBDac5uRZ9
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlEbKJjJRE
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVERlDYhRG
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcEznmPGgK
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtxD24BH0k
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiejdYfOcQz
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAZ3vWhO1O
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8UWRkFnzh
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQpGpVFH23
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwQnHoEAR0
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tFarR0JKF
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9SxW8Bm1P
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwN1KyEatH
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRxWGe5WFH
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4udAhF6Mt
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vE3pseiSU
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?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xUrcikmdu
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDFmmgPBdI
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsNIntgYT9
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhpRLljPeh
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihoXlOIEOh
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgpIhC6zwx
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?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22gML7OxLc
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38fGo53KLw
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgV7lU2CVo
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBnSNDDbN6
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgBQa6gltA
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?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSbVwNMpXw
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ewLZr9hxi
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZX6hnGFw3
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1meAsQebN
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqkeBvWEVz
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7Sh8CJgeB
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8QPhgjD1O
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcENaVBxqY
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5njs6l8Tbo
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGnfiee4n1
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?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWwmA03jAv
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZIX2hXVpB
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtmzUpzeI2
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOxrThBTcs
Kakarot: “What was that?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKAgohm2WA
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRrv4hhMFn
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?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGemUmWoxC1
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTS3SiZR0r
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFKY8nAsuO
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0qkmjadDf
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmfVxHXqw8
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28K86WQW5U
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOHeCqdlSA
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3QicTd8h3
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp85bA5hmh
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa1CNvLrIB
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZzvlRcW41
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZmveh7C0H
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1EX6dHoJl
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjoTXByWEc
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn0NfsZvbY
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJGVCYdrfh
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm5zsAmjBH
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47ZUnCDNVq
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4jU2u21Qv
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIQvBwOrGL
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxpXfoZwIW
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuMbWx6n9h
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreEcnAEs9I
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyDzJ0Tdht
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXQsFnxfj4
“Your foot is on my tail!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO10JFJ1c6J
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDwcxalpmR
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ug6vZ9dIa
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3IL8Hgefd
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kAqXFO1q5
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3HKlmfmNG
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFun5qduU6
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd9dBpGRkU
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU3WDQEGtk
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mkhk4Kyjf
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?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9XxJUvgTR
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKozVndTTCA
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEXYuUvffV
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLSG4xhdbc
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkJ402Muvc
Kakarot smiled.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxImZX290q6
Kakarot: “Understood!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL0uantkpI
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpRXXiXP5N
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvEW0EUjhf
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzxGPZAhhA
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtaciEdQiy
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WmTUfQG9r
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4rHBviH1G
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Jl2aHgWZ
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUcZqsPSwp
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK8kYi3JTT
Vegeta chuckled.

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS8QnxHcAW
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMffq1Lx0C
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xydhkXjqe
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowKrPSiI3r
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHnM9JzfQi
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfbA4BxYgv
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc86N0AzwFO
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP1uhip8Vh
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWOLJLZG6K
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKm1cGyNVM
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0PgEpYhU3
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchJDzhBrHM
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMBp7khrYd
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkiik4oHb3
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HaAXviSCZ
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O5PPDhEUP
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGBHMLmftX
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExo9I72n8l
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XRjf5mYcZ
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnHw1j00uV
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zStO0loen
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BtT7pdHwj
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NrpIlCP34

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7DbPSz5Yr
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy05ABXthZE
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE6ZqwX76j

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWCyWRDVM0

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsHrLWeJU6
Kakarot: “Huh?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUseWPHqye
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCXeQFkpvU
Raditz: “Why you!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHXYAF5ZCk
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvrWcpQbD7
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTRc0un218

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26UDS6pscf

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gu4cW0egu
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UkdaStxwO
“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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsWx9vz4KL
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxmmMUD6mT
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?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfYauvSaRP
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lgtKZYstP
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60MFyHkmzd
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAs94nuTzC
Doctor: “I will sir.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAbkF5KBsp
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpuIT7bb3l
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mVNUaRElF

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39ihv6M5jY
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzlMG5Dgyi

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAgvUIaLJU
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIC0CK67UN
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxo6LSi792
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMepT4b6zmT
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBwQpPx1VA
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZl1ovDi3b
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1EUX0ipGG
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?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdqsMxqLzZ
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmAPVWzfMs
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkArrJ6grj
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTHjC9ETrD
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YpBS16c4M
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt03TVu60z

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAqi2qVnh0

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYkdcrzPJT

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XaniQNB6S

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHPPCfYGgT
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSswNWN4VD
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRfsAxb60l
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIHebQKBgM
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuJMTevW8N
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOhDn3EioX
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.

Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ295urLD1vI

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQug5l9jAG
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTsrDhIZcP
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK3Kyz0fXg
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG12wElaUix
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACBXD2iy6P
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf5JtZB7hH
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF5jHMuBVW
Raditz: “I will..”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm8RXCFViV
Raditz turned to his comrades.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpNuJFEICu
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8djEFuUC1U
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfF8qc6WMq
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK4sbkhiAm
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx7MTOJnq5
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5txqYuLAF
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFC1YzKt7y
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdn5wxCzO6
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVJ4fRSONe
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ935fLbnDJS
Beet: “Okay!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ1b1KMUDE
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfsvC54gJ4
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs2GiVZMfJ
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql4dJrSibg
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdTZn7Ba5f
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KKn8MoKqd
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNoCn20jpf
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCYUSKC5Xu
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAemvxW2PhU
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEjZEdgHg1
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl9I2suImN
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOJaolUtZc
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt00YOIaHC
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdPSvkHcFi
Beet: “O-Okay.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyqqb5walM
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJWSx9PVlx
Kakarot: “What happened?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LfUUUCNmY
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iOzbhLyii
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCtho9LpuW
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ATObdycuK
Kakarot: “Fine.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eyAPIQCK2
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0GB5Iboiu
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLAUvkh0Lh
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQdGPrKgJ8
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLgNokgqTU
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt0unkMDqE
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIP66XBrwY
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0XPbD0MG7
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasSdENM50G
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eoLzVciTN
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGv387PUWQ
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhtiMxBYn7
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoHxcZCT27
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YbECAeAJi
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNNq74hGJC
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM49QbZQUbQ
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX3sZHX4Og
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg31PU8AdyK
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7MNzNqIxf
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XHHNbH6Uq
Raditz: “Understood.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoVePYHmk6
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXCagU8yce
Raditz departed from the room.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV7gyaRlN8
“Haaaa”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVvXfFVN5Z
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EOt2RXgPy
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluS84DCRn6
Kakarot: “Right.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW8XqaWnOu
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA76wyr0wko
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACFmVjJ3jN
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6tm6KSk9A
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcehAFc3yL
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KFLrWIT6X
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzMp4TLzOW
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFMwJXxWvm
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdqLktVSGJ
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn4BbekQhq
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajxLneMIT8
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejZJTTTI7z
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3p2SnUKTG
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWo0IB1oJW
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJmqcbJJS6
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPgCKJtRuK
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24wNpNEWZt
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE9DNvD5mj
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCodBQO3LR
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvzdg9XPEY
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd55Sos3sX
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0q8s1aG8A
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVnb5W6x9y
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cSxULIaWu
Kakarot turned around.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZGCJyRqtr
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbpts6a49e
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE9EBUqJ9D
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?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTj79bb5Sa
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyQt33OYqu
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpVSu1HjhJ
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbNHrMFPmd
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmCld5F0QM
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9gadwl3Gh
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJOIWOJM5o
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eyrpik1Ch
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc41sFQdjb
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6LuO3TSnS
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7gwJImA7x
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJVdX81G2J
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LkqWov5Ja
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtLmOtpVzf
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSgFNZItwB
Kakarot: “Right!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT3vDUwZv6
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcYtF5XlGe
Kakarot: “Yes?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHE0PGzA2k
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5VZSDjwmW
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCLcxUxzVi
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLAF9bPPoj
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx282xY7CJ
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFsFFTCZhn
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qa30AtSUS
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoXIJdQHpK
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vstF011a2
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCLSvsgBD3
Raditz turned to his brother.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI9hDwcxaD
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM93rQFh34
Raditz: “Right..”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZC1HOeuQK
Raditz took off with his pod.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSU8YxQEZm
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK93OdGFstb
“Let me take a look.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkPL2Mzttc
Beep! Beep! Beep!
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7jFdaMrO4
“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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpEz3Fst8s
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP5XgXxy8s
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdHFrthsjj
He bowed in respect.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhCz6ptUYP
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvet8pDFRS
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsusinjjh5s
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnwe1Jc6Kd
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszJEdrw3KF
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVKZpr8Xa4
Raditz: “As you wish.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOoQDQZTnB
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsutkDCssup
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGtc537cfb
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XOtePZOOH
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP8RIcpbr9
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo50iPS2xx2
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BbdsaLc2E
Zarbon took his leave.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UyBCqkTG4
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr70yDMQabv
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa94upcJKum
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc23IrF7Ll
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cgOGY3SIN
Raditz chuckled.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMBxjKLqAv
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkmKYSre0M
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPB9bxBRbz
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseDkspUd3s
Beep! Beep! Beep!
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqm5pzQXWh
Raditz: “He's here…”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdqvsxdMQe
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElBDCnhMvC
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrz07AP49z
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuG7Jntaog
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3f27kqZDx
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2mUvSdrsY
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt89UYQKbrv
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbul1GC7zfb
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmspvt2kYY
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWqhaj9HGl
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cw4YK0TvC
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt47em45cfp
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6On5qF00rX
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHj3GsbblC
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlff2u2Ohna
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB5XVC32D0
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jl5Q62EK1
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck4ADBirqg
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzc6Z05f4q
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xfqs99Cxn
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eQQeyzo3O
Raditz: “Damn it!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbZo00No6b
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewJrxOzbii
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2zayk97GC
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRixrpC7sr
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YVqHVruGW
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoOwQZ0XPt
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4XPgtmZjf
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdlSWt4Q33
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwRU9jGDPY
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXDUmBkOcD
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibdOaSKrWv
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFnoioeq9N
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozZHgQtE3V
Beep! Beep! Beep!
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sBPGTUdJp
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TmzNeSzsL

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfUjZmTg5p
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vfuTh8u2g
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl0gBZgaqt
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8KOXqRXDy
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGdeEgBKSi
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYw83HZveR
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO5CVVJ3Gf
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PTNsyC2xd
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCGL60JMSB

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrPx4B74iM
Dodoria: “Why you!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqvawUjTFa
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILMzVnENHA
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGS9b58zPD
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPaspPhkeA
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73WWc27c66
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR2kIeSdC5

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCwUYzrGfN
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG84Qqj9u31
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU70OnQcUTf
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LZFLe0NCI
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnCOGVGUYT
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1tq9Jx5gp
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtBh6FnlXD
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtNLmSbG0s
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm53v5fOSh
Vegeta: “Huh?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTbErduiIl

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakADcmaiMN
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKiSLTRIWF
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsW332Ykjt
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC1lfhp8Rg
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFdmkN1WGt
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzyd5mXMer
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1dFSIYNvq
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rwnMP3q3d
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe6E48NqNw
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw3ayze0bP
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdfI9a2XAi
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”

Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0otqsMEx0z
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6uiOJ0sgN
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkSfyg83lf

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVRLfb2nbS
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknNCqA1SE9
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPCltlihoi
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs43YSOEwXr

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFffqlgOUvc

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlcnVBDOxq
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5fJs0VGOc
Frieza: “Y-You-”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5jvVEPx5S

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s33z0zYkJ
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3rtWFfLR7
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSti0VdE5M
Kakarot: “Not again!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3RZoqjP9x
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM7M83q61x

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX5yg8kT2t
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdTaecs0yQ
Kakarot: “Look out!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUwFfq98YU
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z0F9SNxdW

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmpisnCrL1
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA7Xjz905E

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRIT3QuCII
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQJVvLeB43
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE6mi7ZOhz
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmQ3VNF0qB
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SysyC9ioP
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBhH0VoBFR
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlqbL8DDB2
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQrmvYgrvv

Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrncwt1eYJ
Frieza: “You again!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IxlpIrmUr
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUdkHs3tV3
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatYjgLrkNj
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXJecjG84K
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik518hcRiX
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yb5eaCT0R
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QqHqe3v4Y
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeoj3Vb2Oz
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOblviT0QU
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR7djwtoCd
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxPLTkV5Zv
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh35oV3fFy4
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLih7VRQGf3
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEHdTSHQze
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OVpT38KFy
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpA4VR4dFq
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiLkfvAemk
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9HyrmJ02d
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2ybPbdYkR
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSt7SN2anW
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHLKtzFkcv
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QQaN1bAb2
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcMc10SqLx
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAR5b1M7Zm
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8Mvnwr2EA
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ2cTAbnWO

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcaFqdXAQm
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp88suM6yM
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBKTU4es3D

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPrc5sE8tK
“Haaaaaa!!!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctTE0bwMQ3
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.

Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDJE9B921E
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7SIt7JlwU

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddZhVRL3Xp

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhZsKQQkHi
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqebI4bftY
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznZtPMRyTl

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzJ0UJSDjG
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcIONCGUYQ
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT2wFlnwMU

Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdBFGAkC1F
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkOQdfCjqS
Kakarot: “It's done…”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fdEJdNd0U
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlJkyvHObN
Vegeta ascended into the air.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uoCwnMG8r
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5P7v8ATtW
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtDE6DVXHT
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XIlMyXlDH
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL7cWq10Vr
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH6TEnowzE
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh5cvqrCfV
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM5430ieCZ
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY7PULlGY6
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhpcfKVGk6
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq9GKgttlh
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX7PHjbsRe
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8xfyQ0pg0
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQezvj05lP
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7SfVIOPh9
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJIN8ZAT69
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xxGzpv4fm
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3taFoXQGm
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM7hUFkdKB
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmarBgtTl7F
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK460oTYrW
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwHHtarKTE
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsxc0dHDrM
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3hLQXBL0u
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvp5YaxSVn
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXtLyCWSeu
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm7mQJcdkk
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsp4O4qUnR
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuGXG6MoBi
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQDOzzcun2
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIKVm6zptW
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Br4FTGTZu
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xPyu0sEXt
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhfteKqDRq
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c4lYCTWKq
He looked at his fist in shame.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdcR4yEi6l
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqAAGhFX0g
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n8DM4g0Cz
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5gN1iewBd
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkeX9M2I6M
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2CsHjCsfe
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVln1oe5hkM
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EQ2H1LlCl
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcIcgm0cV2
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e1bK986Iv
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS9iWQpnVb
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5nKL232F0
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsMd35CbBH
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIcPts2Jxu
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjsEFzEBiN
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..”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3ZnNYWHr1
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QmhtnbOt8
Kakarot: “No…”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9J252vlKW
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB103RQkqE
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCKc1nDnhh
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0gagTXXWq
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUel4kVvYw
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80cmSK353K
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsoiWlWzVU
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOmxnSfMmw
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o4SjrMsd0
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dFrMiwIlv
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOChglHHuhz
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhQiU4Ow5C
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunxTpyMdQB
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuraHpkwQ2O
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ4CDB3b0S
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiTPhic4xO
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnMQkpHyyV
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFr3pu5sSb
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysHyMvrTaW
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAsSjccJ44
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEMgMIA5oG
Raditz bowed down in respect.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98VwftUjCh
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgH1UsRqzg
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbj42XVP9T
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8pCCIIEwU
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OokgaYo5r
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17WEkBvFTD
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetxwEG6ios
Raditz: “Right!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXgdjGjPSy
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmhyBoSDS0
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0XLpBsLNk
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDwOgDeMcV
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh48NmEHeux
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqreDirUkx
Tears ran down his face.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOseADgkgL
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?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB32cg3OIsO
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd5ybhjrpW
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGd8Yrv3XN
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNlxUqaC6g
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjRKl9GyS7
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW34Wvhg3p
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xTPeROpPL
Raditz smirked.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FtOpBvIyh
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFm8z143kd
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9icpPsyn7O
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCaici3bAm
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPrwv7R970
He pounded the ground.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXixoPoquYd
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbRj3OHW9b
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfCudWutaY
Kakarot: “To fight!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N9mQstWmX
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe4XVncq72
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICknGwPVbn
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcmSWUU2ft
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHxvdslnZl
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAczNuNb7F
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJkhuiUQ6f
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuK5FguZbs
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU1ETRBwNO
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSyhSS62RV
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.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2FQZ5xjGj
Vegeta: “Wait!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQDWEINyxX
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.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSb5ZSBZMJ
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWKdWEyyPM
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSzv4cCYNb
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG15HawrrDF
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsVKW4JHg7
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!”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKzPkf9BeI
Shenron: “As you wish."
