Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAe6SJyQDGcs
Bardock: “Working under you gave me the opportunity to be the warrior I craved to be, I can admit that, but I think I speak for every saiyan when I say we're tired of being under your watch. We were born to be free and fight for our pleasure! Not for your convenience! This ends now! Frieza!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAnNQS796ryR
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAIeXSSLH5yj
Frieza: “No, no. He went through all the trouble of fighting off my soldiers and confronting me directly. I cannot explain why but I feel like I owe him this last duel. Perhaps then this monkey will realize his pathetic place in this universe when he draws his last breaths.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAehPp55x2tF
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA3i5QePC4AZ
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA1pBJdmhyv4
The saiyan warrior launched a fist full of fury and pride. The mighty emperor redirected his punch with a palm strike to his arm. Bardock turned right back around and rushed Frieza with a combination of fierce and rapid punches and kicks. Frieza had no trouble evading and blocking each strike. A smirk was firmly printed on his face, showing the saiyan who was truly in control. Bardock jumped back and quickly shot a ki blast at the tyrant. Frieza stopped the blast with his bare hand. The explosion was a mere calculated distraction from the proud warrior. The smoke hid Bardock's location, giving him the chance to deliver a full power kick to Frieza's liver, followed by a punch, charged with ki, to his face. The blows sent Frieza back a few feet. His smirk was wiped from his face, shifting into an irritated frown.
428Please respect copyright.PENANALI11k9BLBx
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9HNqz0hEzj
The emperor made his move, striking Bardock's rib with his pinky finger at a blinding speed. The saiyan spit blood and lost his balance. Frieza swung his tail, slamming it into his face, knocking more blood out. He struck him a few more times before piercing his leg with a small beam he shot from his finger. Blood gushed out from the wounded warrior's leg. He yelled in agony and held his injured area. The sadistic emperor went for another shot at the saiyan's shoulder this time.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAci3gOiLyDW
Frieza: “It's a shame knowing you're the last one standing from your side of this war. The prince is under my control and the remaining saiyans are nothing to worry about. The saiyan race has fallen!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANACEwAhIcjuK
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6Z859idmE
Bardock: “I guess I was right to think ahead hehe. You're wrong! The saiyan race will never truly fall! You may have conquered all of our remaining warriors, but there's one more! Kakarot! Remember that name! Frieza!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAB2yN8VqV5r
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAcG8SHqabvv
Bardock accepted his fate, but he refused to die in such an insulting manner and let out one final burst of energy from his palm. Frieza raised his finger, generating a massive ball of energy that resembled a sun.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9YRufHaTVP
Frieza: “My original intentions were to wipe out all of you monkeys with this war so I could salvage this planet for my own, but perhaps it's best that I make sure no trace of your once thriving society remains.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAftYKxaWgy8
He lowered his finger, tossing the sphere at Bardock's direction. The attack completely disintegrated Bardock's final stand. With no power left to fight back, the last soldier of the saiyan resistance succumbed to his inevitable fate.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAeGP9axyXuA
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAqIQ97QYhfY
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAUnIRPClJ7S
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAvntHUEWZk7
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAtrFumfw0k3
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAnF8EMtjQR8
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA1h3e0IzRh1
Commander Red: “How dare you pretend you have a moral high ground! You and I both know you loved every moment out there! You live for this…Kakarot!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAr1brpDKhGN
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAVgcytfYRyf
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAbaBbF0hx20
The saiyan chopped the Commander in half with his bare hand. He crashed through the roof of the building they stood in and flew off.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAoz4OuPgPjY
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANATXF8LsykMz
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
428Please respect copyright.PENANARQpUayqCyp
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAsHB6JGoCGw
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAsfZMKM79Vv
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA7c7B4tFJqm
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
428Please respect copyright.PENANALuDXJhXmkJ
Kakarot: “My ear piece was damaged during battle. The martial artists from before stepped in but I finally settled the score with them. No one will ever hurt us again.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHoOZEaer67
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAeSAF95Gbag
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAbZpZiBzl4p
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmADZZEzkBo
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGdIWveK0V5
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAcDN7ZIzDbv
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
428Please respect copyright.PENANALtgoicF7H1
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxLoSJvPklt
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANADXqiiFPAuh
Kakarot: “I have no interest in leading these people, they can do whatever they want as far as I care, just as long as we're left unbothered. We should start by thinking about our future.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAEuR3HNcDOH
For months, the war between Kakarot and the earth's alliance had dragged on, many fell victim to Kakarot's might before the combined forces of the government and even the red ribbon army had fallen, finally ending the conflict. The best martial artists on the planet had their own turmoil with the saiyan but they unfortunately faced the same fate as the rest of his opposition. Despite the terrors that took place, a period of tranquility was achieved at last. A peace that would last for a few years to come.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZD8HeBBPp
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANANwaWMw9P6m
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAsMO0LkpntK
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA2sC0D6F1N1
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmDS33t3NwD
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZTXzw9n80n
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAuokR1NnCaK
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAujceutpH3i
Kakarot: “I haven't even begun to comprehend what lies beyond our planet, what goes on outside our universe was never really of my concern.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6b3Yhp67lo
Bulma: “Well, I've studied quantum mechanics as much as I've studied engineering and there's theories suggesting the possibility of a multiverse. An infinite set of parallel worlds like our own but with minor or sometimes major differences.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAecQBj67AeW
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANADvarcf3EH7
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWTfYWvVPrA
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA0ko5Mz6r7u
Bulma: “That explains a lot. This isn't just any vehicle though, once I get it figured out, this baby will be able to take us across dimensions! Look, I know we will never be able to undo the damage we caused, I've accepted it was for the greater good, but with this, we could go to other worlds where we exist and prevent this disaster! We can work together and create harmony so they don't have to live with our guilt!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA05mCGm9yU7
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGltbj9ICb1
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAuTQZo3lsBQ
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAQRHyrsjV8D
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxdiBme360t
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAUExxJWaLLm
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAYXH9h9Dne6
Bulma: “You know how that boy is, he said he was going to pick some things up from the city, but I'm almost certain he's out in the woods again.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAQBnJ99A0Ev
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANASHKAm9DO4r
Beet: “Haaa!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAomgKFdv2Ft
Beet kicked at the beast that stood before him, knocking one of its teeth out. The dinosaur remained determined and swung its massive tail at the child who just barely reacted in time to evade it. The dinosaur charged at him, chomping it's jaws at Beet. The boy struggled to escape every bite.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAC2PSCvJUPJ
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANALBP9JNyOTG
Beet was whacked by the creature's tail, knocking him over. The dinosaur opened its jaw revealing its terrifying teeth. Beet closed his eyes shut and covered his face, preparing for the worst. The dinosaur bit down, but to his surprise, there was nothing there.
428Please respect copyright.PENANActywDgo7HM
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANARBVKFxXpBp
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAM6cnbPmEfs
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAtsT9iZj2vz
Kakarot: “You're focused on the wrong objective. You can strike its head as many times as you want and it still has the chance to get up again. But-”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAv3JJPztuy7
Kakarot snatched the dinosaur's tail and tore it off in the blink of an eye. A big smile took over his face, overcoming his usual serious demeanor. His smile quickly faded as he saw the blood that leaked from the tail.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAijYj3W6gU5
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA4g4wRva6yv
A memory of the bloodshed from the war that had taken place crossed through his mind. He took a deep breath for a moment. The dinosaur fled from the scene in fear. Beet darted after it. Kakarot snapped out of his trance.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAIgJUU0cSqS
Kakarot: “Enough”!
428Please respect copyright.PENANAfw8SpOEYGo
Beet: “Huh?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAixWXbDGKSr
Kakarot: “I already got us a boar for dinner, there's no need to kill an opponent that can't fight anymore. It's broken beyond repair, don't carry the burden of being the one who took its life.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAgcJQNgGBA6
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjXMYoZPYyt
Kakarot: “Everything we do is for survival. If we need to eat then we'll kill, if we need to defend ourselves then we'll kill. But that thing had nothing left to fight with. There's no reason to finish it off.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAN71b1u3aFL
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAgA9gSsuEmg
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAMjO6XJR3Tw
Beet: “Right!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAiikMhWRufI
The family sat outside around a bonfire. The young Beet was tuckered out from his big day, he rested his head on his mother's lap, giving in to his fatigue. She caressed his soft hair and smiled. Kakarot kept his head low, pondering away at some troublesome thoughts. He caught a glimpse of Bulma staring and immediately looked away, hoping she wouldn't notice.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAAUPfTzvZL3
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAVyWRDhKpFu
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6M5F0lPY9u
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAFzdWcfrGQl
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOZbhT6JfXW
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8hEagfXsSB
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAeOyU9a4x1R
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAEmv8LkYUO0
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANADRhJKyD5gj
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAetq19uCKoD
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAEyP51mUNzt
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAwzzB6z2CMF
Bulma: “Yeah, you weren't exactly a scholar per se, haha! Cramming in those study sessions must be just as new for you as it is for him.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAuiJ1CyRYce
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAgyx9RxcT5b
Bulma: “I love you.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA325wMKcKRt
Kakarot: “I love you too.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANArNIWsc1vDJ
Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
428Please respect copyright.PENANArvSi0B2sxW
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAUkkwYeHtAe
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhu2WdxzVox
“Only a fool would continue this struggle, if we surrender to their commands, at least our people will get to live another day. I'm sorry, Colonel, call off our men.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxbaOhzjfDG
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8tIvYkKZq
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9CP4BoBQt7
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANArVI4qWQPL3
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAwzSALS2MWM
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA7T5rRQ9qeP
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAB7z0DjDlQ4
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAAq9F3Q1w0c
King Tuffle: “I have withdrawn my forces as you requested. We'll form an alliance like you desired and lend a hand in your fight. As long as you keep your side of the deal and let us be after it's all done.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9kGGeCZE9k
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjWARc7xaJB
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhZX96iftxZ
Beep! Beep! Beep!
428Please respect copyright.PENANATqdnkgCeXV
“It works just how the rumors said they would. With this technology, tracking frieza's movements will be a breeze.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAXnpP0RSrFQ
“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAPTEaiL7d7c
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANADktn8iPC92
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAbED6MCzaRw
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAT9G1tOpl3W
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
428Please respect copyright.PENANArXUHv2Dm98
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA92KLZ7GWHK
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAuzvzjAOCM8
Bulma chuckled.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAd7vfksPb0J
Bulma: “Well, as long as we get this baby done, do as you please! You know, I'm surprised you went along with this after all.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAitnURLJztx
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAX18dhXFBBN
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAS1mr9akXHM
Beet: “Momm!!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6W0EekEhtf
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAEixCKqfHIL
The busy mechanic rushed to her son's needs. Kakaort returned to his work but was almost immediately interrupted by a shout coming from outside.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAi9x9B3B8Xu
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA4DOpKQqaeb
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA2TVwl7UXRz
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6Bpdzf0X0V
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
428Please respect copyright.PENANACGVY0pN7Vo
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANACyxpSbXWXX
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA65ZrbeyBTJ
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAMeBBoloFE0
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAAOViBg2lRC
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAaOu9Wq8mrA
Kakarot: “You're playing a risky game coming here and demanding to see me all of a sudden. I don't care what you're here for, leave my planet or I'll make you!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAKAjuJgVnFU
Raditz: “So, the planet does belong to you after all. That's good to hear. This will be a perfect base to rebuild the saiyan empire hehe.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAgDp0Wtq1pD
Kakarot: “Enough!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAShuANFRhls
Kakarot flung himself at the unsuspecting saiyan. Raditz noticed at the last second but still managed to evade the frustrated warrior's attacks with ease.
428Please respect copyright.PENANASioDPllh5W
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANArYDl05dfLd
Kakarot threw a fierce punch which Raditz evaded at blinding speed. His movement played tricks on the saiyan's eyes, leaving behind only an after image with the real Raditz having already got a hold of Kakarot's blind spot. He smacked him away with a mighty backhand.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAVbV5CbdeC1
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAf27DeCCjwo
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAy6o3YeWXXn
Beet: “Sir!!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAMDtjbgheH5
Beet rushed to his father's aid, throwing a kick at his uncle. Raditz flicked the child away with a strike from his tail. Beet crashed to the floor, hanging onto his consciousness.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAL0bp4QRKp7
Bulma: “Beet!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZKlXVZ9mQ4
Raditz: “The boy will be fine, don't worry about him. That look on your face, Kakarot, it's almost as though you've never tasted absolute defeat like this hehe.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANADtulwa58MM
Kakarot's breaths were heavy, his body was petrified from fear. The feeling was instantly overwhelmed by a sudden rush of adrenaline. Before he knew it, his body stood, almost on its own. He rushed his brother once more, his blows were suddenly sharper and swifter than before. Raditz found himself putting in effort to defend the assault. Raditz blocked a kick with his forearm only to have it be immediately followed up by an elbow to his face. With only seconds to react, he stopped the attack with his palm, just barely avoiding contact. His eye twitched in irritation.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhWNPklIulj
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA2l01wsM8ib
He drove his knee straight into Kakarot's stomach, ending his sudden burst instantly. Kakarot collapsed to the ground, his body refused to answer his demands, seemingly paralyzed. He gasped for air, struggling to speak. Raditz raised his hand, reaching towards the defeated man. Bulma yelled at him to stop as Kakarot flinched, accepting his fate. There was a sudden pause from Raditz. Kakarot opened his eyes again, only to see his older brother reaching out to lend a hand. Surprised, Kakarot used his remaining strength to force his hand up and got a grip of Raditz's hand. Raditz helped him to his feet before letting him go.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAiajeuaNKvr
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAC1hBVLrjcr
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGyCg2XXu5e
Raditz: “That's right, I'm your older brother, Kakarot. It may seem a little jarring, but you're from another planet, one that has long since ceased to be. You were presumably sent here to conquer this world, although I never understood why planet 4032-877 of all places.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWVjZjvI2rK
Kakarot: “I always knew I was different. The people of this world made that clear to me, but I never imagined I'd be from a completely different world.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAEnhu2pyZkz
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAVU4aT3G9mo
Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjIZiuQbSvG
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAkmakT1w0bb
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAPkJZ1jU5qA
Raditz: “Right, I should cut to the chase. My name is Raditz, sorry for not properly introducing myself earlier. I'm not here for some late family reunion, I'm here to recruit you, little brother.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANArRjHA602az
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAl0KeDJ0i0k
Raditz: “Our Race has long since been reduced to mere numbers you can count with your fingers alone. It wasn't by no natural causes however, our kind were victims of a genocide from a tyrant known as Frieza. He enslaved our people and forced us to do his bidding for decades until we finally stood up to him and waged war against him and his forces. As fate may have had it, our forces soon fell, the rebellion failed and frieza believed it to be easier to simply wipe us out for good. There were some of us however who didn't partake in the war, we were off on duty, unaware of all that went down. For years, Frieza deceived the remaining saiyans into believing a meteor had struck down our planet. We recently found out it was all a lie invented by Frieza to keep the remaining of us loyal to him. What he doesn't know is that neither of us ever took pride in serving him! But this isn't just about fighting for our freedom anymore, this is for our proud race that he dared to look down upon! Join me, brother, let us retake our honor by slaying this bastard!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5dCkmTctcv
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAkiY5yJ73GE
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmxBg6ytpSI
Kakarot: “He took everything from you, my life is here, on earth. Besides, I've fought a war all my life, I don't want to jump into another one after we just reached a peaceful era.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHmDd4ZFPcY
Raditz: “I see.. Well, then let me spend the night with you brother, just for us to connect a bit before I return to my comrades.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhtFZSzTDal
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHnWk1etIVE
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANACMWI620KS2
Raditz: “You have my word.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxSf9wvzFML
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
428Please respect copyright.PENANApseG8sweP5
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGQuUFIkPqK
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGk18lq2aCf
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA1xT7LYETRA
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAlHa0kxugmZ
Raditz: “You worry too much, child, you're a saiyan like the both of us, a bit of a runt I'll say, but a saiyan nonetheless. You'll grow to be much stronger when you're older. Doesn't that excite you?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAXzBrlHjw0K
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAca6pR2qiK7
Raditz chuckled.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAY37DE9jg7b
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANArBg5izIRpF
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAs5xXFFg3Xx
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAFJhMZivAkW
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANANoOsVQ2H9T
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWCwY5BIrkg
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjGNK8d5UY7
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAO3zVXTET9r
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAQgGAr7iuYP
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA7TGgwjWRAB
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
428Please respect copyright.PENANALXioQc60OA
Bulma: “Honey, I think I'm gonna sleep early. Don't stay up too late, okay? I still don't really trust him, it's best we get the day over with soon.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA93obUFEyqL
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANATElAuxNgw5
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAz5DxJRwmfW
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAUwTLeOFRVr
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxO52Zh1alo
Raditz took a deep breath.
428Please respect copyright.PENANARZ3etHFIAK
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANANIYTvvj4F5
Kakarot did not question his sibling and partook in his request. The two left the house and walked out into the night sky. Raditz levitated high into the air and Kakarot followed. Raditz came to a sudden halt. He faced the night sky, illuminated by the countless stars, miles away.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAIoFD2RJEym
Raditz: “Take a look, brother, the universe is infinite. Why would you limit yourself to such a pointless, finite world like this one? Don't lie to yourself, this mundane life doesn't suit our kind. We're warriors! Born to fight!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdZgTj1cWJm
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA31w0TqlmIV
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGPccbClwYy
Kakarot: “I've never faced much of a threat on this planet, I've never truly been pushed to my limit. Earlier, when you humiliated me in our battle, I felt something. A rush, one like no other. I was going to die and yet I felt more alive than ever. What was that?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAnsXjo8mXWf
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAaHrI6H0PGN
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAUNJNwFiFYc
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA0MopXkp6eS
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANADCN9NiOFI7
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOyWcnBFHGc
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAK2tvDDjYvj
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAy0mQ5GMii7
Raditz: “Vaguely, I've heard about him before though. He was a powerful leader of an elite squad. Rumor has it, he was the one who led the rebellion against Frieza. Our father was a great man, Kakarot. Don't you want to take after his footsteps?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAtWxI0HzKVu
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA7SlHMUtLuQ
Raditz: “I leave tomorrow, I have an extra pod you can take so you can tag along. I can take you to meet the prince so you can join our alliance.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAEhG3e1UAXf
Kakarot: “The prince?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAIUNo2t9jYK
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAMnxXBtBZcT
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAoZUvZspMUW
Bulma: “I don't understand! We're finally at peace and now you want to run off into another fight that isn't even your own?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHrSTfSBZa0
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOsS9nTBVhc
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAYh7jTokhwf
Kakarot: “….”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA2k4CBJ3yqT
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAL5AFbwfa04
Kakarot: “For most of my life, I was neglected by the earthlings, I was different and there was no one to guide me through this unwavering sense of inferiority! They're like me, I want to meet them, I need to. Besides, I can't shake this feeling that this is my calling.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOT9rcttEO0
Bulma hesitated to reply.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9x69yfDsEs
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAEoCPuCfV0e
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAPpeOZX4qfn
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
428Please respect copyright.PENANArNfoWOVBt5
Beet: “Sir!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAqX2lZkOeMo
He came face to face with his father.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAzreW0ZNrGh
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAps2ELnPueS
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
428Please respect copyright.PENANARmBzA1SWwl
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAaZi3bGOdIW
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAkdY9YwqwkS
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
428Please respect copyright.PENANARNbTS8p7i9
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAtc7HphdDdi
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAzSHwS1JWjO
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAax8bPG1yw0
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjLoOXhnAXL
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9FgLQp5U6G
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAvCnHwN5yMk
Raditz: “Well, aside from me, the other two saiyans are Nappa and the prince, Vegeta. Unlike us, they're top level elites with the prince being the absolute most powerful.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANANYb5acCDOc
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHoQtBzGbRV
Raditz: “They are, especially the prince. He's the strongest saiyan in history! They're both proud warriors, like me of course. You're on your way to becoming one of us too.’
428Please respect copyright.PENANATODE14lKA5
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAybxbiKC5lZ
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAALjkSWxe0r
In the span of a few hours, the pods arrived at their destination. The Prince and his comrade awaited their arrival, preparing to greet them once they landed. The pods crashed into the designated area, revealing the two saiyans aboard them. Kakarot fought to keep his composure, but couldn't help but smile after gazing upon the mighty warriors that stood before him. He approached them, taking a knee after reaching them.
428Please respect copyright.PENANASOjENRTsgf
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANABaqIQsKOmL
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAwsuaK3ry08
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHEbM4DVwkr
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA32aOvEGNb9
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANALVPDyZytAe
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhcl1ZTzz3e
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHNwGgZPp5I
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAvQZ2Jif1Fk
The prince hesitated.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAw8ZnOS2NRN
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANALUaiYuljnk
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWNPVCvqMlw
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAgMWIrWXy79
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA65F99ft7gw
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA677lxTtjPh
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjoB4L3SPcG
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
428Please respect copyright.PENANArmhVIg2yYW
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAXqg91XtEcT
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8WpJmgusGH
Kakarot examined his surroundings, quickly taking notice of the highly guarded area. The soldiers that surrounded them didn't appear to be saiyans, but they wore similar apparel. Aside from small animals and critters, no other signs of life were present. The vast land ahead of them was empty, only them and the soldiers occupied the space. They entered a large, elegant building with huge pieces of glass art, depicting an unknown civilization of people. They came to a halt in front of a throne with various seats. The prince took his rightful place on the throne as Nappa sat on a seat right beside, displaying a sense of authority. Kakarot and Raditz took a seat on a more mundane section, next to the Colonel in command of the Tuffle army.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y2obSmjWx
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJZs14SU8QB
Kakarot: “Yes, he told me about Frieza and what he did to our people. I've agreed to help you crush him on behalf of the saiyan race!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAuDcYaPt2St
Vegeta: “You've got spirit, but it's going to take more than that to defeat this scum. You see, aside from his troublesome power, Frieza also wields a powerful army. In order to get to Frieza, we have to get rid of that pesky army first. We've made an alliance with the Tuffle race, he who sits beside you is the commander of their military in fact. Having them on our side is a big help, but we can't be too careless, we need to recruit more allies. Until we get the remaining forces, we must lay low.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAphis0a2sVJ
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA1beSp2Z5Yq
Vegeta: “We've been eyeing a planet known as Tatsu. We hear their kind are great for combat, and legend has it, amongst them is one they call Amaterazu. If he's as strong as they say, forcing him to submit to our leadership could be just the advantage we're looking for!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANADgDRtya1Sf
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAy9SzEexH2P
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANACmE12MT4xW
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAvh11YNHakn
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y7L4g74PQ
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAaTJ6brfmFq
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAAAXpuKoJ35
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAwm3SclBk4D
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAXfzPhEH3Ay
Vegeta: “I'm having doubts about your little brother, you sure his mind hasn't been corrupted from being away from his people for that long?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAfbR8hlLKDV
Raditz: “I'll admit, he's a bit of an oddball, but you know me, Prince, I can get him on board, just trust me. Take him to planet Tatsu with us, I'll work my magic.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmacbYezVVa
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA0uzPKAWogl
The pair made their way back to the room where the rest waited in silence. Vegeta took his place on his throne, continuing his speech.
428Please respect copyright.PENANABE16vazAm8
Vegeta: “Ahem, like I said, we'll be paying the Tatsu race a visit. If luck is on our side, they'll be just what we need to turn the tide on Frieza. Until further notice, we can't make too much commotion though, if Frieza finds out we're plotting against him, it's over. Now then, prepare your pods, we're leaving at noon. You're all dismissed.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAa6cQhMpDc9
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjW1I57CNGr
Kakarot: “Raditz, are we really going to kill all of them if they don't comply? What good would such an act even do for us?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAiFqfTELRht
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAn3p1CiLzVg
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANARVHT528Mjh
Raditz: “Listen, if we let them live, there exists the possibility of Frieza getting to them and getting information we'd rather he didn't have. We can't take that risk. It's just another sacrifice in the name of the greater good is it not? It's not their fault we chose them, but it's not our's that Frieza enslaved us after killing our kind. In order to win some, others must lose some. That is war, for someone that has lived in one all their lives, I'm sure you can understand it.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAzD8si4Eax5
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOcpDoH1W8C
Raditz: “Now quit your whining, this is going to be your official, first real fight. Aren't you excited? Don't you want to feel that thrill again?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAXbcVr3MG3T
Kakarot's mood took a sudden turn. A smirk fueled by excitement lit up on his face. He clenched his fists as if the mere thought of battle pumped up his adrenaline.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhNcANvklTQ
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANACz72kiV0P2
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAsWvWpQfpkT
Kakarot: “Please, brother, let me have another go, even if it's just for a few minutes! I want to fight! I want to be a great saiyan like you, and like Prince Vegeta.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxTWqslx2bY
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAsgfTPUuS8P
428Please respect copyright.PENANA86RJq7E2lc
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHqr5nrBY8G
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAbuZn2CyCGj
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAt1vh2cVcTc
Raditz: “Hehe, what can I say? Can't help being strong! Hmm… there might be a way for you to hold your own y’know?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAiIZ3CWeRj6
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAvqSsN4LujD
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAchifq1Dmas
Raditz raised his hands just above his shoulders. His ki surged into both of his palms, forming purple shaded ki spheres. He released them, shooting forward dual ki waves. He detonated them before they made contact with their surroundings.
428Please respect copyright.PENANABDuDMsl0Qv
Kakarot: “What was that?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAQPTMdeybUv
Raditz: “That's my special move, I call it the Double Sunday. By focusing your energy into a single point, you can let out an attack with more power than your average strike. It took me a while to master this technique, but with practice, you should be able to come up with one of your own.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAP5MH3fT78e
Kakarot: “You never cease to amaze me. Tell me, brother, if Vegeta is the prince, then where do you and Nappa fall in the hierarchy as the last of our kind?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9RgjfrYjgV
Raditz: “Nappa has always been Vegeta's loyal goon. That bootlicking bastard serves as his right hand man, unfortunately, he has the power to back it up too. I, however, am working my way up to a similar position. The prince has been considering giving me a permanent role in the royal force.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAw888go3QEf
Kakarot: “That sounds great. I hope it all works out for you. I, on the other hand, think Imma settle down with my family for good after all of this is over.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAKfZ9PU0dlv
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAcN9vZSoCD0
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAnZZS6IS5ZA
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAztboi9UOGV
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAnHdRscR54m
Raditz: “You're thinking too much about it. Stick around for longer, in time you'll find that all you seek is here with us.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9oiHZqhIsY
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9xmyeg5Yc8
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGflvOti0Rm
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
428Please respect copyright.PENANApQLW06cwCk
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANATDXxcM8IS3
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
428Please respect copyright.PENANANHCyTRc7nK
Vegeta: “The Colonel has set the coordinates in our pods. The Tuffles also placed some new upgrades to these sweet rides, we'll get there in no time so be ready.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAnk9AHKmyZh
They all nodded in approval to the prince before entering their pods. The ships took off at blinding speeds. Kakarot observed the vast, outer space in astonishment. The wonders of the countless worlds beyond his own planet never ceased to amaze him. Before long, the pods crashed into planet Tatsu. The squad left their vehicles to confront their next targets, but to their surprise, the landscape was deserted. Not even the slightest sound of a small gush of wind was audible.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAg6uQ7e07uA
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAVi9btAVBaY
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAsMyErzzvVn
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAS51DPS8DZ7
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAwXkLm9hNdc
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
428Please respect copyright.PENANALOzuckyMlb
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAD9STmRtmq0
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAaN5PuSWZZs
Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAv3okpoIFMg
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
428Please respect copyright.PENANARhvSiyIhoj
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWOWNOEhDpb
The eyelids of the creatures twitched. Their joints cracked and snapped out of place before restoring themselves back into their original form. They all turned to each other.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAn2d4m8v11E
“Your foot is on my tail!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAfOYVEyyuHG
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAH3UMOnZfgE
The two creatures swung at each other. Their fight created a chain of events, causing more needless fights amongst each other, before long, they were all partaking in a huge brawl.

Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAaKKvpeIcHf
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOHwFT3BV7R
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANACwCv1u2VZP
Vegeta: “This is your chance to feel the true thrill of battle. Join us, we're about to show these fools a real rumble! Let em have it, boys!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAD4DE0YnTeV
The mighty prince smashed into a group of the battling creatures, blowing them away with the sheer force of the impact. Nappa lifted his fingers, generating an explosion that took out another bunch. A free for all battle royale commenced. Kakarot hesitated, he watched his comrades partake in the fight, feeling a sense of guilt for their actions. Raditz approached his brother.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAKAMmdQfK0m
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAwp5FWP03Q2
Kakarot: “Could Frieza even hope to interrogate these guys? What information could he even get from people as barbaric and dumb as them? We have no reason to kill them anymore.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAeaWG8ktgLz
Raditz: “They're lowlives that serve no purpose to us or even themselves. If we don't do it, they'll just kill each other regardless. Stop listening to those stupid ideals the earthlings instilled upon you. Your mind is telling you no, but what does your heart say?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAQN3fUvadl6
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
428Please respect copyright.PENANALD5Sj4KuCf
Raditz: “You're neglecting your own desires for something so meaningless. Go! Be saiyan! Show your pride! Us saiyans will conquer together, let them know that! I'll catch up with you later.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANARqiRePiVC9
Raditz rushed to the battlefield in hopes to get in on the fun. Kakarot observed his fellow saiyans, watching how they fought. The prince made light work of the toughest of creatures, mercilessly ending their lives with single and swift blows. A smile overtook his face with every victory. Kakarot clenched his fists, fighting his urge. The unsuspecting saiyan was caught by a sudden blow to his face. The punch sent him to the floor. He snapped into action and returned the attack, knocking his opponent into another Tatsu, stumbling them both over. They caught their balance and set their targets on Kakarot. Without hesitation, they rushed the novice saiyan simultaneously. Kakarot struggled to fend them off, taking blows left and right from both. One of the creatures punched his gut, staggering the saiyan. His arms fell loose. His blood began to pump again, faster than before. A rush of adrenaline took over his body. He used the opportunity to catch and hold the creature's arm down and countered him with a powerful headbutt. He followed it up with a ki blast that blew the creature into pieces. He dashed to the other enemy, striking the bottom of his jaw with the palm of his hand and used the opening punch a hole through his chest. He immediately set his sight on more nearby opponents as the options were seemingly endless. He jumped into a hoard of the violent species and fought every single one at once. He took multiple blows in the process but returned just as much. Guilt, regret, love, hate, anger, all sense of emotion had lost its meaning, all but one, the overwhelming sense of excitement. He took blows from different angles all at once, the damage didn't slow him down as he leapt into the air and shot a ki blast that created an explosion which blew away a chunk of the hoard. One of them jumped out from behind, preparing a devastating attack. His efforts were intercepted by Vegeta who chopped his arm off and kicked him away. Kakarot turned around, realizing the prince had just saved him from potential danger.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAtUoSY158dI
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA1jJ4k0r9Yj
Kakarot smiled.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAS4rmxboWLN
Kakarot: “Understood!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA69syp9GcMd
The two leapt back into action, taking on the hoard, side by side. They fought together in a flawless sync, their fists complimented each other's style, fighting together as though they were one. The ground trembled once more, more violently than before. The Tatsu species halted their combat and began to flee.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmUHIFbD1qU
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANALZgCbNT6cu
A similar looking dragon humanoid emerged from underneath. He was noticeably larger than the rest. Flames burned throughout his body. His presence alone disintegrated bystanders. Sympathy was a foreign concept to the beast as it had no trouble smashing through its own people as it approached the saiyans.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAG78Mt1cXDt
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAyOojEo09y2
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWOLgsiafLj
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWVSdLXnTBm
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAvqAIsuvWj8
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAEFKOGAOWuq
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5pcMoR1Wza
Vegeta chuckled.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOxME7cDQPw
Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA3QzE81jhzx
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxfnyV1nOw7
Kakarot jumped into action, pouring down a flurry of various strikes. Modora blocked each attack, delivering a powerful backhand in return. He knocked blood out of the saiyan and shattered some of his armor. Modora grabbed the staggered warrior and smashed him to the ground. His grip remained firm as he continued to slam Kakarot against their surroundings a few more times. His scorching hot skin left its marks on the saiyan.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5m9G6wuSP
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
428Please respect copyright.PENANAcul9mYSsSM
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANASr5tn5KcdU
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAEDwSKKudzy
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWd9z6TqTpq
Modora tossed him into the air, he engulfed his fist in flames and slammed it into Kakarot. The powerful blow shot the saiyan through the sky and straight to the ground. He stood up, visibly injured. His breaths were heavy, but to everyone's surprise, his smile remained as strong as ever. He charged back into the battle with no doubts or regrets. He rushed the dragon beast once more, this time, sneaking in a precise jab to the beast's forehead. He continued the assault with a kick to his neck and ki blast to follow it up. Modora slid back a few feet. He was in disbelief with the sudden shift in power. Kakarot's body screamed in pain, but the mighty warrior could only hear the loud thumping of his heart, fueling the adrenaline that gave him life.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAYRNbier58E
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0rpTT6g9t
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA4y8CFGKY4p
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
428Please respect copyright.PENANAqWaaxbB9Lj
Raditz: “What the hell? His power level is growing!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAp039zyaXZq
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAQZLgHZKJW7
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8jtVEz7x0G
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWCn2Y5CXWP
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAfeFT1zHtAS
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHiFzWOOjAB
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAP6aiMT6R33
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAKH4Kvzk86p
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANACbhx7tS5QX
Modora levitated towards the sky. He raised his palm into the air, where it engulfed itself within a ball of fire only slightly larger than his hand. Kakarot remained on foot. He raised his hands, aiming them at his enemy. They gradually developed a purple glow, sparks of overflowing energy emitted around the glow. He lowered his hands and clenched his fists before raising them in the same position again, letting out two purple beams of energy that circled around one another before merging into one larger beam.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAT12dqAmVzP
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANASlmrl2WOns
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxl5QLeERjO
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAPRheDXEK7d
The attacks crashed together, Modora's flames were put out almost instantaneously. The mighty beast suffered heavy damage from the blast and collapsed to the ground, steaming from the heat of the blast. Kakarot's eager demeanor faded. Raditz approached his brother in both shock and concern.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9wNrZJ6TEb
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOXCtDa7qjL
He took a peek at his injuries.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHMTyZjLoc8
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA2xbrrePvCp
Kakarot: “I don't know what happened back there, but it was exhilarating! I never knew this is what it meant to be a saiyan.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmokpdb3z14
Kakarot raised his arms in the air, he savored his victory for winning had never felt so rewarding. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAuPFosBfPIE
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAeZkb11u6e2
Vegeta: “I think you've made us all proud today, boy.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA2pqAKgmZfu
Kakarot accepted his superior's compliment with a smile.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAAKvVZOVQCv
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
428Please respect copyright.PENANAXP9lek8ebB
Raditz: “Kakarot! Look out!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANANPhjuqXVSE
Kakarot: “Huh?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAe6uN73p9Og
Modora ascended from the ground with no warning, landing a clean slash with his claws on Kakarot's chest. Blood gushed out as Kakarot collapsed from the off guard attack.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA1LSJfIszUg
Raditz: “Why you!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA86w4G89Eub
In a mere instant, the angry warrior smited the weakened beast with a single blast, leaving nothing behind. He rushed to attend to his injured sibling. Raditz held him up.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1dpvh0RY9
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWJfvwQFViN
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAIHgYmAfAEM
Kakarot: “What… What h-happened?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAkS2gJMpPwR
Vegeta: “Save your breath, boy. Get him to the ship, if we make it back in time, he'll be able to make a full recovery.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAuC3KIjr4RW
Raditz: ‘Right!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANACSjCnd7ETZ
Raditz carefully lifted his brother and took him aboard.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAz2Wm9zJ9UQ
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA01XTrSClPS
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAID62P5xC04
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAEyRDu1jppw
“This doesn't make sense, he could have easily taken a full power blow from that thing head on. Why did a simple attack like that nearly do him in? Hmm..I'll have to look further into this later.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAe9socCtycS
The ship took off, heading straight back to planet Plant. Kakarot was immediately rushed into a room with medics as soon as the ship landed.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdb3blroQzR
Doctor: “There's not much left to do here other than a few stitches and basic medication. Are you sure his injuries were as severe as you claimed?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAngTaENAoPK
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAP1nS8fJrFU
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjSU3A1Mze2
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAQtMZ8m6c7j
Doctor: “I will sir.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAiei5rQvY1n
Raditz left the room. Kakarot rested for about an hour before regaining full consciousness. He stretched out his arms. His joints felt relaxed and more flexible than ever. It was almost as though his injuries had never happened.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxlLxf7MFXw
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAkkQcBCy6OR
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAs32UHENK5v
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANATSJUJ0Y0DR
Kakarot: “I see. I don't feel anything though.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAoOXVIsMC0N
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAi5tdtlTpJi
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!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAX1dUCiepAP
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAMDRIDQOAio
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAqgVcAA04cy
Raditz: “Cool it down a little. This is going to be a long process, we can't just rush into another planet without knowing if there's anything of value.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANABdVcJlsOzl
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAqAdUxJbVvC
Raditz: “I've had that idea too, Frieza would never suspect we'd be hiding out in such a low value planet. To most, your world is useless, but to us, it has all the resources we need and more! But why the sudden change of heart?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAMUyLnz9P9L
Kakarot: “If I'm being honest, it's not really about the saiyan empire for me. When this is all over, I'll head back and leave this behind. But if I bring it back home with me, bring you guys home with me, the thrill won't have to end with the war against Frieza. I don't want to leave you guys, but I don't want to leave my family either.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAV4nEjPk2ol
Raditz: “If all goes well then you might just get what you're asking for. I still don't understand this obsession you have with your wife and boy though.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAQZR0TDpD5T
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAnmqkhnAe1O
Raditz: “Of course not! Saiyans are born for so much more than that, we only mate to breed more warriors. I couldn't care less what happens after that.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjMgu8sYXV8
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAV5I7ezzidk
Raditz: “Yeah, you sure do.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA7wRhOU0QIk
The brothers shared a laugh together.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxCMtPlQtf3
Beet: “Sir!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANABDzq8WEC7x
The boy eagerly rushed to his father and greeted him with a firm handshake. Kakarot smiled and patted his head.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdMc7N7zEMc
Bulma: “You came back sooner than I expected.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAaJnHxD6TVl
Kakarot: “I couldn't stay away for too long, so after some consideration, my brother and I convinced the others to migrate to earth. That way we don't have to be apart throughout the process.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAI9V1OnVwsT
Bulma: “Wait, what? You brought them here? Are you crazy?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdHE7YCGqLw
Kakarot: “They're great people, I promise! I trust them with my life.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANALYeH2l4UlB
Bulma: “This isn't just about you anymore! I want to be able to trust them with mine and Beet's lives too!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAN4LXJQBI9L
Bulma looked over at her son and gently patted his shoulder.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAzN19I5B7jW
Bulma: “Go play outside okay? Let me and your father talk.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhWFMubF3hj
Beet: “Yes mom!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAcqniLFyjLU
The little boy made his way out, trying not to acknowledge the tension in the room.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA09mpgO551G
Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAzB2gGqpIFj
Bulma: “I'm not convinced, we've achieved peace and yet you insist on bringing the fight back to us. When does the violence end?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdshXDKvydL
Kakarot: “When we win.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdxbzSdkz2i
Bulma: “And what considers us the winners? What happens when survivors of their conquests come looking for revenge?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8yCJobvoLZ
Kakarot: “I’ll stop them.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANANBWTOV60mv
Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAzAHwNrhHwt
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAootckus3KT
Bulma: “It is when that desire puts us all at risk!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhRVECge0lC
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6S49aCeisX
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjEpPboF2Eb
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOSWgEepnVC
Kakarot: “Beet!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAP2SpVOl5lR
Beet: “Yes, sir?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAy7PdN7ljSe
Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAcp4vob26Kz
The boy struggled to contain his excitement and followed his father. Kakarot picked him up and swooped into the air, flying to meet up with the other saiyans. They flew past some damaged cities with frightened citizens running around.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAy6GyXJylQe
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAqow55XPhg3
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6AXLXL9hF3
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAu4vHemJFkV
Kakarot: “They'll be fine. Humans tend to fear what they don't understand. Our family won't cause any harm, they're here to help this torn planet. You'll understand when you're older.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vqp0WwC9I
The boy simply nodded and watched, incapable of shaking the uneasy feeling from the sight. Kakarot descended near a large space ship, surrounded by soldiers. Beet held on tightly to his father as they walked past the intimidating army. They reached the entrance to the ship.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAAYImwou82A
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAAmpe0KHrfZ
Kakarot: ‘My apologies, I had some other business to attend to. As you all requested, I've brought my boy. Beet, these are the last remaining saiyans. They're like you and I, you'll learn a lot from them as I have.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5xohrpbf1l
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxyydzPLvFO
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA96RoJLLAdn
Beet: “I'm Beet! I've heard a lot about you guys, you're all so awesome in person!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAoatuZiSz3M
Nappa: “I like this little one!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8CUsGpUV6d
Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAXavw4ZQ6Ab
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAXDedN9kKMQ
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAB7jZKlSlPL
Vegeta looked down at the cheerful boy.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhiYiLUKYtc
Vegeta: “Raditz, I'll give you the honor to test the boy's strength yourself.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA7e7Vi5BMsn
Raditz: “I already got a feel of his power in an earlier encounter.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAUNe3ufJZzz
Vegeta: “I don't care, do it again.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmriZmUUOh8
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
428Please respect copyright.PENANARmwbbXeL1e
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAMrFjkjuZmq
Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5g73FYeuVC
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAU57rQ0uTCF
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAfvASUPZxvJ
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAW5c33ouxl5

428Please respect copyright.PENANAvjZv2HR8CB
Raditz: “I will..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAXAIsrv3b7i
Raditz turned to his comrades.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJwR8qCGC4L
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA4LPTBaZ0gy
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA3xOmQ8w6Kx
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAyV9eEptJht
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJWxmDMutZ5
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAkdXE3wZnIY
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
428Please respect copyright.PENANACZWF6NJOvv
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAotL8AReWtS
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmCy94fVKL5
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAEaGoHE5Om0
Beet: “Okay!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHdtupRuJKT
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAKVj586DJMC
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
428Please respect copyright.PENANArzpQtjtJjA
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8jHM7iDKBL
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAngFwYVgMct
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”

The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZwrT0jJyZ
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAiBaK7AjwgR
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAvYZ5kxKZ55
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
428Please respect copyright.PENANAsu6Uyzo7He
Raditz’s scouter went haywire. A powerful wave of energy burst out of the young hybrid's mouth. Raditz's eyes widened before jumping out of the way at the last second. He slowly looked up, immediately noticing the damaged wall from the blast.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmXqE5PWle7
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAlwt6TaPSX3
He gradually lifted himself up, still shaky from what he had just witnessed. Beet fell to his knees, his body could no longer take the punishment.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWjyJfwN6iX
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAheGwHkgID1
Beet: “O-Okay.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAfitocyu2Dl
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAUiFiJt5dUP
Kakarot: “What happened?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZh0lodoDWM
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA2FmwSBnion
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOsJE5oAYOs
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAAqBMWlRveg
Kakarot: “Fine.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAwOOxXobKLJ
He stared at his brother for a mere moment before taking off with his son. Raditz made his way to Vegeta's personal room inside the ship. His thoughts ate away at him.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGwhDPmlcdu
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAk2gDZ6FApO
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxXGBgo7zW4
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA69sKlXRdoX
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAK86k9JmqTo
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAzaHJGb9HgD
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmNV0OHAsw7
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAeuaxpFQodH
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAExjgMDduWV
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAArAFY1LQeY
Vegeta: “The spot you seek is still open for anybody who proves their worth. With that being said, I have faith in you Raditz. I know better than to trust your word, but your actions speak louder, so swear your loyalty to me and I'll continue to keep you in mind as my ears and eyes.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAUh8sp22Vrd
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAkBt6V6pVO6
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAlA0kgHyWwZ
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA3ViovyZyde
Vegeta: “On the contrary, it means he has both the potential of an earthling and a saiyan combined, and that's not even considering it's the boy of a low class like Kakarot.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAB5y6KHodmG
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA7HjlfPlg0n
Vegeta: “You're a sharp one, yes I did. If the rest found out they could breed warriors more powerful than myself, my role as the prince would be diminished. I'd be seen as a joke. I'll have to birth a son of my own to take my place before that. For now however, we won't have to worry about that, I've discouraged any desire to spawn new warriors. Frieza is our only priority. The only lingering issue is Kakarot's boy.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAiDE2Z1jTvm
Raditz: “You won't have to worry about him, sir, he can't use that strength at will. It will be a while before he learns to muster up that power on his own.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAw3oPPjdiHH
Vegeta: “I see, time is on our side for now, we can continue to focus on Frieza, until then, can't let the others know about the power hidden within the hybrid, I trust you'll make sure it stays that way.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAUCXHdLncpW
Raditz: “Understood.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5KSfnvdMu5
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAFqqAH7kpHh
Raditz departed from the room.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA2CKavcMAch
“Haaaa”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjw3HWzoTMe
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAYndarDH24i
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAO4C0mdvIHp
Kakarot: “Right.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAU4qbpo3j54
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAqlFKV8IzMc
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANACDYad0bw7N
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAnBssMjbKoP
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAPboAXhpVjn
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA3yIpo1QqGH
Time would fly as the saiyans battled their way through different civilizations, recruiting while simultaneously ending many. Their conquests would take a short pause in between.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAr4bPJP27GU
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmo8PGN8Zgx
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAO8yypsasKR
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhUIKDqgcIR
Bulma: “The man of the house is gone for months with no warning and he's the one who gets to be upset. You stop by less and less every time, I don't even know why you still bother to come at this point since you're probably going to leave again this same night!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAVDfYm1GOzq
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAQe4kUDmAdf
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAFqvCjwLYN5
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAqtDZnLpJko
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAwsS0LCH5r9
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANApo5FaV33Ha
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAfl9wYCW3um
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA3McJ1oq1lV
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAgVOP94sgXn
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANADt18bIToCD
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmG92pR4uSy
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAfOX1BubPj3
Beet smiled and hugged his father. The sun couldn't have set sooner as Kakarot stood near the door, preparing to leave. Beet slept peacefully, unaware of his father's absence in the room.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmoDuFD2tKq
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAbhnBPeMDql
Kakarot turned around.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAoBKgFBpqCn
Bulma: “What happened to you? You're not the man I grew up with. Kakarot is a loving man that fought for peace. He was a man that protected and provided for his family, a loving husband and father. Whoever this us right now, I don't know you.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOXQHeLJ0yJ
Kakarot: “I was everything you needed me to be because you gave me what no one else did, I never once stopped to consider who I wanted to be.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmERlsw5ryz
Bulma: “I only wanted to make you happy and to make you feel safe like you did to me on the day we met! You saved me from the red ribbon army after they tried to kidnap me for my inventions, you remember, right?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAU8JXgryc6L
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAG4oOV6n7Dw
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAAfHm2jpWQY
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAbJj1m45lOh
Bulma: “You know what's the worst part of this all? Everytime you leave, there's this look on your face, this-this thrill! It's been making me start to think that you actually like what you do out there.. But my greatest fear, is that maybe, you always have.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAqNgsIscEUK
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAF4yhjpCJi9
He turned right back around and exited the place he once called his home, flying away into the distance. Bulma took a seat on the nearest chair and broke down into tears.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAwVTiYYkxHw
428Please respect copyright.PENANAR7SNPCR0lT
Vegeta: “Alright boys! The time has finally arrived! We've gathered enough troops and have raised our own battle power significantly throughout the process. I can comfortably say we have a shot at destroying Frieza once and for all! Colonel!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAblmM04cA2Z
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJRAw2eriaB
Vegeta: “Prepare the troops and run the plans by them again. Oh, and don't try any sort of rebellion against us this late into the party. I guarantee you we'll be the least of your problems if Frieza gets a hold of you.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAfy6icPpJJH
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAM6f1bCrd5I
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAc2nEk2LRmq
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9W8RK4QniZ
Raditz: “Getting too excited for this one might cost you. Don't take Frieza so lightly. Remember the plan little brother, we'll see each other on the other side once it's all over!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAKzRfYYo6Z6
Kakarot: “Right!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAV4nl2RE98X
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANACWrRVN5R6F
Kakarot: “Yes?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAVVlxBETZNW
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAsHyxtwzGwY
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9KdXWnLIgw
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZufyl08ReQ
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5c3656A7zK
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAoDyYoglUqy
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAbbSGIphg5Z
Vegeta: “Raditz, head to your separate pod and take your leave at once, we'll group up in the ship along with the others once the Colonel deems them ready.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6aNInJvnRp
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8ngg9xaOZs
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAYqn5CDhOCd
Raditz turned to his brother.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAyax1K1pi7P
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmAxxDR5VZ5
Raditz: “Right..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxrDxxy72Qs
Raditz took off with his pod.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA03Xgk3lu7H
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANANr0njUB9ek
“Let me take a look.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdDgomtpSCu
Beep! Beep! Beep!
428Please respect copyright.PENANAAvb6dZKghb
“Oh, it's just one of those putrid saiyans. No need to worry, I'll go greet him myself. I just hope his hideous looks don't rub off on my beauty.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAEfMYVdqjmI
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6huGzqWSAJ
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAeWzcskTsAR
He bowed in respect.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxvWFDPxgKN
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJMvyrodBic
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAf16tzrUzOa
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAzwjhQeLycK
Raditz: “I understand, however, I must clarify that these are urgent matters for we've gathered a lot of profitable planets and slaves for him. We have tons of eager customers awaiting his approval. Please, inform the lord as soon as possible! You wouldn't want to make him upset by letting such a big opportunity slip by him.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAzfRUP1crKy
Zarbon: “Hmph. I'll inform him at once. My only conditions are that you stay by my side at all times, I cannot risk you pulling anything sneaky, I know better than to trust YOUR kind.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHuieNdMx2H
Raditz: “As you wish.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAIOhhPF9144
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAQn81H3Bpzx
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhVK8FhWPWW
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAPryNBQoYDz
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAFBEhctcbz9
Vegeta: “Okay, I'll run it all back at once so we're on the same page. Raditz will lure Frieza back to his base with his proposition.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAMSY0AV046b
Zarbon: “Take a seat over there. There's guards outside so don't even think of anything! I'll step out to let lord Frieza know about your request.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAAqNKUqaNHy
Zarbon took his leave.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAvI6SYqIXDQ
Vegeta: “Once he's got sight of Frieza's ship entering the atmosphere, he'll launch an artificial moon into the sky. That will be our sign to make our move. With this distance, the scouters can't track us but we can't track them either, so Raditz needs to be the one to alert us.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxNNrp6ugRb
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAfXLu5hVRcI
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA2xBUM4KRZV
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAco8vycZdUP
Raditz chuckled.
428Please respect copyright.PENANABsOlZOo8fj
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANASCB27PGjdT
Vegeta: “We'll use the artificial moon to transform into great apes and hit Frieza with everything we've got! A surprise attack to finish him for good! Frieza never leaves without at least one of his right hand men, if we take him out, we get one of them too. Less opposition for us.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAoA2hY91gG5
428Please respect copyright.PENANAcTuC2idd21
Beep! Beep! Beep!
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJEMSTmmjof
Raditz: “He's here…”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAgZ20QG7fzK
Vegeta: “Once we've wiped that ugly tyrant from this world, we'll send in the troops to help us destroy what's left. Frieza has too many loyal goons that would stand by him even after his demise. No one gets out of here alive!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGdkIyJ6P9K
Raditz took his stand and shot his artificial moon into the sky, smashing through the roof in the process. The commotion alerted everyone within the site.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmbSyDG6Ca7
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAan3uRdmPmE
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZDF3QxyCfw
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJF0xIV0S3U
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8YFzu7FmlT
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAM9Sh2ghB0p
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAMFII86PeuZ
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJKOhD00Tzs
The mighty trio shot forth their attack in union, obliterating Frieza's incoming ship, causing the remains to crash into the ground. They landed their ship and reverted to their base forms.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA1EkRJ0aReE
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAYHVbbeKZTM
Vegeta signaled for the others to follow his lead while the soldiers they had recruited went on to finish Frieza's army of henchmen. They approached Frieza's fallen ship. Vegeta lifted the remains.
428Please respect copyright.PENANABmgCTHcNss
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZTFuCL74ut
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA1TdBAYmZ9D
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAUfklaxcVcd
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANANpBFr2378G
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAtUYMT65CkT
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA4HhGVzgBkP
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAgNXrseYcVo
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWZILbi8GGu
Raditz: “Damn it!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAuuckMZ4kCF
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAd100kXvWbm
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANADohnaEyL1P
Raditz shot a small blast at the ground, creating a wall of blinding smoke. He lunged himself forward at Dodoria, smashing him through the building.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAYRAdzqMIPp
Frieza: “I can't say I'm not impressed, I never expected a simian like you to be able to plan such a calculated rebellion. It's a shame things have once again gone south for you saiyans.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmhUwY7pP59
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGAmJRbJqKq
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAPm2mCI6Hz2
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANArDYBcPvJZP
Dodoria shot a blast of energy from his mouth. Raditz caught the beam and redirected it back to the sender. Dodoria was blasted away and crashed to the ground. Zarbon approached from behind, going for a surprise kick at Raditz. The saiyan warrior caught on just before the kick connected and blocked the attack. Zarbon was left wide open which Raditz took full advantage of.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAcRgzNfMw8I
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAaeOgfbpK2o
A ball of purple energy burst from Raditz's hand, crashing into Zarbon. The impact sent him flying away. He recovered as quickly as he could and reunited with Dodoria.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAzwvnaD9Z6I
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAgJNRS1LzKY
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANARUbKWPoVHx
Beep! Beep! Beep!
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5wXW2HItNw
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9RevBSQkXp
Dodoria: “What is it?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZlzhRCz86i
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAiKFF0vJ7Lg
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWZyOrsh2HP
Zarbon: “Perhaps Lord Frieza made the right move in eliminating their race, their ability to grow should not be overlooked. We have no choice! We have to fight together!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmjRJ0eXzjh
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANASBR0I9K5sZ
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmOwIHg9cts
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAfoF3gwmcYv
The pair went forward with their assault. Raining down a barrage of various blows at Raditz. The saiyan warrior fended off every blow, but the overwhelming flurry left no opening for retaliation. He jumped out of their reach but they immediately tracked him with a united ki blast. He blocked the blast, taking no damage from it. He took a surprise kick from behind his head by Zarbon and suffered an immediate follow up punch by Dodoria.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8U9I6vuz0v
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANADXxn2tAxox
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAiojpftnW2b
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA1HDP2c0Ygj
Raditz: “Keep talking you tub of lard, you'll be eating those words soon! Hehe.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAqPHjJNCRc9
Dodoria: “Why you!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAri0mHpztGO
Dodoria charged forward with Zarbon following only a few feet behind. Raditz broke a chunk from the hill and crushed it into dust with his hand. He smirked and threw the left over rubble from the rock into their eyes. The impact shattered their scouters and blinded them temporarily.
428Please respect copyright.PENANACcPuHnrRj2
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGhsDh6XK5W
The saiyan warrior struck Dodoria with a knee to his head. He followed up his kick with a blast that completely blew off his head, killing Jim immediately. Zarbon desperately rubbed his eyes, removing the irritation.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5n0V6o1acC
Zarbon: “Damn it! It's really come to this hasn't it? Take a good look saiyan, this is the last thing you'll ever see!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAelTYzZe0tQ
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAFHcSf7ebZi
Zarbon: “Die!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAN8hX16jh0K
Vegeta: “Both of you, stand back. Frieza is mine to kill.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ374aQNZI
Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAwJnlb2yC2y
Vegeta: “Don't worry about me. I'm fairly confident I can take him now.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAEpVGokXxmd
Kakarot: “We're counting on you.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAKBTg3VpDcj
Vegeta nodded before slowly making his way towards Frieza.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAMRsdT54vwP
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGBUWWGRrbM
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAqn0IZVpAFy
Vegeta charged his energy, the entire planet shook in fear of his power. The ground trembled and mountains split. Without further hesitation, Vegeta darted to Frieza, rushing him with various attacks. The tyrant struggled to fend off the attacks, coming to the realization that the prince's gloating was more than just talk.

Frieza: “Haaa!!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANACN4TTsvAPl
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAlb86EjBAAi
Frieza: “I don't need any more of your little demonstration. I'm aware now that if I commit to this fight I could come out on top perhaps, but the other monkeys would likely intervene and ruin it for me. There's no purpose in entertaining this any longer.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAza82YlCTfw
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA47o75ZMyJn
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.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAFBUiAI7IWT
Vegeta: “Huh?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAD1t82sQ2qA
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxsWKREzVbF
Nappa: “I'm not sure! He's bluffing! There's no way he has another form!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAg4vu3W5zm0
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAX0sEVS6EGG
Zarbon crashed his arm into Raditz. He pounded the struggling warrior, knocking blood out of him with each blow. Raditz retaliated with a kick to his face. He leaped into the air and scattered a barrage of ki blasts at his monstrous opponent. Zarbon quickly recovered from the attacks and charged forward, headbutting Raditz in his face. Raditz returned the attack with a headbutt of his own. Their fighting took a short pause.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA2yuPqbFBCY
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJumcISLsUq
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.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAre1p3KUGSG
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAPvQdUiFMmR
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5rinlot2e0
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.
428Please respect copyright.PENANABp8byBDqRG
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANANwmbocsWlP
Zarbon darted past Raditz, catching him from behind. He squeezed him tight, gradually crushing his bones.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAUYEKdpnhgU
Raditz: “Gyyaaaahh!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA84xb5fSvKp
He yelled in pain, powerless to Zarbon's grip.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA7yQwn5xK8c
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAzmIm1R7sVj
The tyrant’s body went through a terrifying metamorphosis. His limbs enlarged at different rates and proportions. His power level burst through the roof, the saiyans began to lose their composure as fear took over their consciousness. Frieza ended his transformation, revealing his true strength.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAj4HDKP4XSO
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANALYty19rzm2
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjNnIt4jbEB
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANACcc8Mt8pyH
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAINevpcD0sa
Vegeta: “You don't understand, fool, there's nothing we can do anymore..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANANhOTtI6EeS
Kakarot: “Nonsense! We have to find a way!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5uK0uyBGcO
Zarbon continued to torture the saiyan. His grip only tightened as Raditz grew more powerless to his might.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAclvPA09xXH
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAppiNNZ8HP1
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
428Please respect copyright.PENANADi2C8iTK4V
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2aszZ8M8t
His body grew as he morphed into the beast known as the Oozaru. Zarbon watched in fear as his opponent grew to a massive size. Raditz stomped on him, killing him immediately. He spotted his allies, noticing their struggle.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAnUvykXTRsK
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9JEmq6i76t
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAY1D0srtftI
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAbyP0OGr2SV
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANABlWtD09Yje
Without further hesitation, the others hit Frieza with an all out blast of their own, caught in between two powerful attacks, the mighty emperor suffered a devastating blow. The smoke cleared and Frieza collapsed to his knees.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAj0mtLw55j5
Frieza: “Y-You-”
428Please respect copyright.PENANADJ5wO9tiUo
Vegeta: “Haha! The mighty Frieza has fallen to his feet at the hands of the saiyan race!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAlB0obFh0Nt
Nappa: “Poor bastard can barely even stand!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAMvj0PsADm5
Vegeta: “Give it up, Frieza!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAtFtLRzaJPr
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA1mPpWj3wWN
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA7dV9HcwIwg
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAicIRQPKDHW
Kakarot: “Not again!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAXIJ5ZAVrSJ
Frieza lifted his hand, creating an explosion around them. The force knocked them all away, providing enough distance for him to safely transform. He went through another change, taking on his true form. All of his prior injuries healed.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAAUQ3am7Sbk
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANABGYm5kuJq8
Frieza lifted his finger, destroying the artificial moon created by Raditz.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAnMiOqj8t3S
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZj9ryk7eyd
Faster than any of them could track, Frieza shot a swift and small beam from his finger. Kakarot watched helplessly as the beam headed straight to Vegeta.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAYQjoO6f41d
Kakarot: “Look out!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAYYa4oAXxMl
He reached his arm out, desperately trying to get a hold of the prince and move him away. His efforts were pointless as the beam approached faster than he could close the distance. The laser hit, Nappa collapsed to the ground.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAuDnqWkbPoy
Raditz: “Nappa!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAoYwyUs0r0j
Vegeta: “Nappa!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA7RdmYjFlcJ
Nappa held on to what was left of his life, using his last ounces of strength to deliver his final words.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA994sICjNUn
Nappa: “D-Don't let this… go in vain, Vegeta… Destroy Frieza!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJcndXWX9Kv
Vegeta: “Why would you do that?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAn513VVDzw3
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAD0R4oAQxOP
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdk2diaexTJ
Kakarot: “He gave his all simply for a better chance at securing our victory. The least we could do is give nothing but our all to the very end!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA7AG5CTQy3E
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAnEYDdgMRXZ
Kakarot: “On the contrary! We're more determined to kill you than ever!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAr9uDKz1zAV
Frieza: “I don't recognize this one, but he sure has quite the loud mouth on him.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5iVAYMpMS4
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAfNveFi08lp
Kakarot commenced the battle by charging headfirst at the cynical tyrant. He lunged forward with a ferocious punch. Frieza dodged the attack with minimal effort. Raditz and Vegeta soon followed along, rushing Frieza with a flurry of attacks of their own. Frieza fended off the attacks with ease, demonstrating his sheer dominance. Kakarot continued his assault. The three attacked together in union. Explosions and bloodshed filled their surroundings as the soldiers from both sides continued their brutal war. Frieza raised his hand, he blew the opposing saiyans away with a wave of force. They retaliated with a ki blast shot in union. Frieza leaped into the air, evading all three at once. Kakarot rushed at him, swinging multiple fierce blows. Frieza dodged them all, returning a kick to his ribs. He spit out blood. The blow left him stunned from the pain. Frieza elbowed his cheek, sending him crashing to the ground. Kakarot shut his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth as he groaned in pain. He felt his broken body struggle to stand, and yet, against all odds, he stood. Vegeta dove straight in with a kick. Frieza caught his leg with his tail. He smirked as he watched the powerless saiyan attempt to free himself from his grasp.
428Please respect copyright.PENANATHlvhy7NHb
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAf6PrKOgyQB
Vegeta shot a ki blast to the tyrant's face. Frieza flicked the blast away with minimal effort. He delivered a heavy punch to Vegeta's liver. He spit blood and gasped for air. Frieza tossed him into a building and followed it up with an explosion set off by his eyes.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAErQCiRfdyy
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA59nlynfQzO
Raditz unleashed his most devastating move. Frieza stopped it and dispersed the attack with a single hand. He flicked his hand towards himself, pulling Raditz closer with telekinesis.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAkevVhP44yF
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAM2p6h3j13q
Frieza kicked his jaw, knocking him into a building.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZf601dm8IP
Frieza: “Such an anticlimactic end it seems.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAH5dKJtdGcN
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAgVaUsWH4hb
Frieza: “You again!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAeOOyqwzB1D
Kakarot's face dripped in blood, his gaze was tense and focused on Frieza and nothing else. His fury overtook his consciousness, there was no room in his mind for words, only action. He viciously swung at Frieza, his blows ripped through the air. Frieza blocked a punch.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAvtYwzM9VnL
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA2f4hu7JKTm
He yanked his arm and kicked the back of his head, following the attack with a whip from his tail. Kakarot crashed into a nearby building. He burst out from the rubble, charging at Frieza yet again.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAXCK3Lhe9ly
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA4ya4fWKNO0
Kakarot landed a knee to Frieza's gut. He balled up his hands together and slammed them into Frieza's back. Frieza fell straight down but caught his balance before crashing against the ground.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAsZJKg0K2AO
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAntKPWGOCJQ
He lifted his arms, large chunks of rubble went flying towards the saiyan. He smashed through them with his bare fists. Frieza used the distraction to land a mean headbutt to his face. He kneed his gut and punched his jaw. Kakarot was powerless against the tyrant’s onslaught. He took every blow head on. Frieza kicked him into a nearby hill, smashing it into pieces. He flew after the airborne saiyan, juggling him through the air with multiple blows. He delivered another punch to his face, knocking more blood out. Kakarot gradually turned his head back, pushing through Frieza's fist. He grabbed his arm and twisted it. Frieza yelped before getting punched in the mouth. Kakarot grabbed him from his face and zoomed to the nearest building, slamming Frieza's head into it. Frieza kicked him away, creating some distance.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA2zeggO8SKx
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGb2jFbE7We
Kakarot's pupils were bright gold, his power shot up as his hair grew. His might shook every nearest planet. Raditz looked up from where he laid.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhVbUHwprfE
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAERmhr0m6OO
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAx1TFNJ4IrA
Kakarot breached the distance between him and Frieza, landing and uppercut to his jaw. He followed it with a hook to his cheek and a knee to his chin. Frieza blasted him away. He sent forth and endless barrage of blasts, each exploded upon colliding. Kakarot began to force his way through the blasts. Fighting through the pain. He reached Frieza who immediately backed away upon seeing him appear through the attacks.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOHJO4Q363u
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANArAJmYoxF3i
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAMefZIC5Xcu
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANArmcrG830kz
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
428Please respect copyright.PENANABJoB1XOoXU
Vegeta: “N-No. The super saiyan legend, he's supposed to be a golden warrior. This is different. It's hard to believe, but the one who stands before us is no longer Kakarot. Somehow he's managed to channel the power of the Oozaru without going through the transformation. Kakarot's been overtaken by his own strength, right now, there is no friend or foe, only combat.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6OgyrDJyZG
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAfwWdrQvYbG
Vegeta: “I'm not entirely sure, but I've seen it before, a saiyan gets overtaken by their own power and leaves us with no choice but to be put down. I… I don't think we can stop Kakarot's rampage.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANARIiS0O4wLk
The two clashed back and forth. Trading blows. With each blow Kakarot grew more powerful and terrifying. His body shut out the pain of his injuries, focusing all of its energy and adrenaline on the fight. He rushed Frieza with a punch to his gut, slamming him into a mountain, smashing it upon crashing. Frieza froze him in place in a sphere of energy and kicked it away like a ball. He repeatedly kicked it around before spiking it to the ground. Kakarot rose from the ground. His armor was shattered and his body was battered. He put his arms out and shouted. His power spiked as the planet trembled. He clenched his fists and opened his mouth. A ball of energy formed in his mouth. Frieza raised his finger.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAbePVLr2cHb
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAoIYroKwmuH
A massive sphere of energy released from Frieza's finger. He tossed it downwards towards Kakarot. Kakarot fired a blast from his mouth. The attacks clashed, each pushed back against the other. The force of their struggle shook planets and stars. Frieza's supernova was claiming the edge, gradually forcing its way to its target. Raditz leaped into action, launching a special attack of his own to push back against the world ending wrecking ball. Vegeta soon followed.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAMYCeyHcllU
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8vqJb5MZ0b
The prince unleashed his ultimate attack to support his allies. The three gave their all against the tyrant’s most fearsome attack yet. The planet crumbled, cracks formed on the ground. Soldiers were crushed by rubble or consumed by the planet's scars. Frieza's body bulked up.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAbqEqsgdYnD
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5RY0xqnPqo
Raditz: “D-Damn! We're losing the struggle!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANADY6WgX7ziR
428Please respect copyright.PENANAECd8rAVZxp
Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAyVFSYGzdkC
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZHYgsdEGpu
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
428Please respect copyright.PENANACnXAqGGS41
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA53SOrCJBKj
“Haaaaaa!!!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAN0ARBDd5oo
The trio used the distraction to find an opening in Frieza's attack, piercing through it and hitting the tyrant head on with their combined power. The destructive force of their beam sent Frieza crashing down.
428Please respect copyright.PENANArbumAGfIAh
Raditz: “We actually did it…”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6rNXfKV1hh
Vegeta: “Raditz! Look out!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZppaiFOLQ1
Raditz: “Huh?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANADZwiKAnhNM
Before he could react, Raditz was struck by a mighty backhand from Kakarot.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHbKukmPH3D
Kakarot: “Rrrraaaahhhh!!!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGGvhon36uQ
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAQfesyDgFys
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAYVy28jYcGh
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA7pb8zVfjR6
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAI4GZac6cZb
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAb9Q6Yfig8Y
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAKsmlqpx4om
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAvZWKSCj3wX
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHdcm9i3Edk
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
428Please respect copyright.PENANACwVKEse2Wd
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANApvODhu5EPd
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6xffd23PDP
Kakarot: “B-Brother… I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZwdCTkJt7h
Raditz: “Oh shut up… I'm fine.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA0zMqkoChmR
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANApw19TV5ntX
Frieza used the last of his strength to shoot one last attack at Kakarot while his back was turned. Kakarot felt a new sensation, a 6th sense that allowed him to feel the attack heading towards him. He turned around and punched the attack away. He approached Frieza at blinding speeds. He stood in front of him for a moment, looking down at him.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5jpS2QD6ZL
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJddtfPait1
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.
428Please respect copyright.PENANALTbJcbIqfh
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAsLZ6Iffnrb
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5OVQLr7FeI
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA94MF2q55mO
Kakarot: “It's done…”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA3OcoADuWuk
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHk7lJisMtd
Vegeta ascended into the air.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZji7LX69YK
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxj8gXlHwY7
Their military began to retreat back to the ship. Frieza's men fell to their knees, some begged for their lives, others preferred to perish than betray their lord. Everyone regrouped in the ship. The ship took off into space, leaving not too far away from the atmosphere of the planet.
428Please respect copyright.PENANArRCss8pga9
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAc26f5MOIh5
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA32tr4OfUCS
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAvjQEoNptgB
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAKVyjs7uIuV
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAA3b5u2KaxP
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAbMYz7TtGUv
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAASgp9yNHZA
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5Oo2yKz2Cv
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9txLtXWDo
The Colonel smirked after securing his success and retreated to another room. Vegeta on the other hand, couldn't find it in himself to crack as much as a smile. Kakarot took a seat.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHQeixpy4oD
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAyENEuzlu3d
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANADmOpl19o4D
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANABj6QR1p0vS
Vegeta glared at Kakarot. His gaze was locked in on him for the entire ride back home. The ship landed on earth. After all the action, everyone was fatigued and mentally drained. They took the rest of the day off to rest. The next day couldn't have come any sooner. Raditz reported to the “Battle Station,” as per Vegeta's request earlier.
428Please respect copyright.PENANArlIJxRLV3G
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA7zxAHvL9V1
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANALPR36UzPBd
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAC3nwvs93xr
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAI3GYCQKWOW
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAeV6UYQOdfm
Vegeta: “With Nappa gone, his position has been left open. I'm providing you an opportunity to seal the deal for good and sit by me as a conqueror.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjfWrzaoQun
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAd0VVsTFH9c
Vegeta: “I can read you like a book, Raditz, you're a notorious schemer. With Kakarot rising in the hierarchy, you've gained the perfect opportunity to seize the throne from me by his side and let your bloodline rule for centuries to come. But I'm telling you know, it's a plan doomed to fail.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAwlvLj3Cl33
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAc6slu9m29e
Vegeta: “Even now you play your cards to end up on the winning side. Kakarot isn't a leader like me, he couldn't even bare the responsibility of ruling his own planet after having conquered it. On top of his uncontrollable power, he's unstable and ultimately unfit to rule. Your empire would fall apart and eventually all that power would mean nothing. If you want to win, you stick with me.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAb6Mw0wWGV1
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
428Please respect copyright.PENANApFpYjoTIXl
Vegeta: “I know your real problem, Raditz. This isn't about you choosing which side benefits you most, you've simply grown soft. His earthling nature has rubbed off on you, but both you and I know that this mentality is his greatest flaw. One that will cost him dearly one day, one that will cost YOU everything. You're a saiyan warrior, you know what the right choice here is.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdxUuQR2RUP
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJXIFMaNkYc
Vegeta: “He has a soft spot for you, the same way you talked that fool into joining us is the same way you’ll convince him to leave for good. I can't afford having him show me up, it would permanently bruise my reputation. I need you to get rid of him one way or another. This is your final task to secure your spot next to me.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAsjixxvDpQw
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAFqCTHeJpTG
428Please respect copyright.PENANAlJijYIUKDH
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAX4aNKNHy73
Kakarot: “I've avenged our people, I should feel great and yet I feel more conflicted than ever. Everything was great and now I'm back to square one.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8bpzAt2mDV
He looked at his fist in shame.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmcPSjPuIIt
Kakarot: “That moment, it felt so strange. Losing myself in battle is a common occurrence, but in that moment, I feared nothing, not for my life or even the life of my comrades. I almost killed my own brother. I'm lying to myself, the truth…. The truth is I loved it… but it scared me.. Bulma… Beet, they're probably still waiting for me. I haven't seen them for a while.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAvj3L3ojlap
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOjMaIDqWvT
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWFN27E4Yn8
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAL2l9qixhhu
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAXNzq4UOLY0
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA55nRn1QbZj
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA4JYnIWdzlU
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhD7QwUaof3
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAKw4mXmxZBg
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAUIAalCSaOZ
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANARUkSRmmaSV
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
428Please respect copyright.PENANANhySpGFb8k
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAovdKO90XJI
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
428Please respect copyright.PENANANzUZVt7s4o
Raditz: “One of Frieza's goons, Frieza had many connections… I guess they didn't waste time in tracking us. They damaged my scouter too, I couldn't get a hold of you sooner..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA444dHWM6QQ
Kakarot rushed inside, disregarding his brother. He tossed aside the rubble that he once called his home. After some digging, he found Bulma and Beet, laying still on the ground, stained from their own blood.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAFgSUbswyUV
Kakarot: “No…”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAAmfLdL0zCa
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOzhYerIxCq
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAKMO8KXoEOC
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANARXG2XFygf7
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6xdJI3RXt4
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAokmFnpm5RE
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANABlP2J4VUSW
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAS1z4aP8sC6
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdgh3Z2H3Pl
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAv8Vkbit2rZ
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6HezJF82zD
Kakarot sensed an incoming attack but was too late to react. Raditz shot a blast through Kakarot's back from behind, piercing through his liver. Blood dripped from Kakarot's wound and mouth. He laid on the ground, struggling to move or speak.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAbJZAgI2rGo
Raditz: “I really wish it didn't have to come to this, brother, but the prince is right, being around you made me soft, I had to let go of you if I truly wanted to succeed.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANApJSvEFQEE6
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAi2CQDSto3A
Raditz: “Back then when we destroyed the Tatsus, I learned something. Our power levels drop in moments of vulnerability, even the weakest of warriors can fatally wound the mightiest in such a scenario. To think your biggest weakness would be your heart in the end haha! Let my words sink in while you draw your last breaths.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAkixC5TxR34
Raditz flew away, leaving his brother to die. Kakarot helplessly looked at his deceased family, unable to speak or move properly. The rain left him colder than his body was already getting. He groaned in pain for a while before his groans gradually died out and his eyes fell shut.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAb6NHkNHkfY
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA654KyMUGrh
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAUCbch48Qw5
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAkW047SIa5U
Vegeta: “That's what I like to hear! I'm a man of my word, from here on out, you're my right hand man.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWiNfhmfUEb
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAsOH0SfXhIc
Raditz bowed down in respect.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJ81wIrnSXw
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdXmuDxNWCw
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdfY44T2Tv5
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9RoVXAdZyv
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAMKhVrp98sf
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAr06FNbZyEg
Vegeta: “Well, looks like we have a mess to clean up. In his condition, he won't last very long. Assist me, Raditz, let's make sure he stays down this time!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAf4YHUkbdud
Raditz: “Right!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAFNCHrQgLUF
Kakarot: “I-I don't understand! What happened t-to the saiyan pride! We were friends working towards the same goal! What about N-Nappa!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAk06ERy4wVO
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJM8yJQJfh0
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJRuTSXhWmO
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAw4wpcZ3a5R
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAgRPl7p1AIu
Tears ran down his face.
428Please respect copyright.PENANATJmSfdNHfw
Kakarot: “I gave up everything to be a part of you all! B-But you're just like everyone else.. power, control, that's all that really matters to you huh? Saiyan pride is nothing but a load of bullshit! It was never about Frieza or the saiyans was it?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAvxmzqEs2zb
Vegeta: “Of course not! The strong survive and the weak die. Those not willing to do anything to remain at the top and nothing less, are mere weaklings simply waiting to die!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA1exkN0K46n
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAWPHEZQ1iJj
He shot a blast at his fellow saiyans. They evaded his attack and rushed to attack him. Vegeta and Raditz attacked from left and right, overwhelming Kakarot with various combinations. He fended off the attacks but had no room to counter. Raditz kicked his injured liver, staggering Kakarot. Vegeta used the opening to land a straight right to his face. The saiyans kicked him away in union. Kakarot crashed through a wall from the building. They immediately continued their assault, following him outside, raining ki blasts on him like the rain that poured from the clouds. Kakarot struggled to free himself from the pressure, taking the blasts head on. He got a sudden burst of power and used it to hit Vegeta with an energy blast that knocked him away.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmfq7ntw3pS
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA0xHfZiQhBv
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAun8xl47Qop
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6sWfYL94sD
Raditz smirked.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAoVF4gTzGg0
Raditz: “I w-wont lie to you.. I really did care about yo-u.. Br-other. B-But that love made me weak. The w-weak don't survive.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAlmzcxHfugf
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANApkv63ixkBM
Vegeta came in with a kick that knocked Kakarot off of Raditz. Kakarot got on his knees and rested his hands on the floor. Tears ran down his face. He laughed hysterically while simultaneously sobbing in a disturbing fashion.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA1qYOC0geQY
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8iIgWv2Qfo
He pounded the ground.
428Please respect copyright.PENANA7hrC0fExic
Kakarot: “I should thank you, brother, you've opened my eyes! Both of you have! I spent too much time caring about meaningless, worthless things. I'm Kakarot, the greatest warrior that ever was and ever will be! I was only born for one thing and one thing only!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAr1dLBXFbOk
His hair grew in length and his pupils turned golden. His eyes developed a red, deep outline. He stood up, his demeanor was more relaxed from before and he had no trouble standing.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAkIGxBKcHvZ
Kakarot: “To fight!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZxDeLgDWCm
He dashed at them, striking them both at the same time. He grabbed Vegeta from his face and slammed him into the ground. He then turned around and elbowed Raditz in his eye, followed by a knee to his nose. Raditz held his nose in pain as it leaked blood. Kakarot punched a hole through Raditz's gut. He spit blood, holding onto his brother's arm.
428Please respect copyright.PENANALwlqggrHer
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
428Please respect copyright.PENANARymGMC4SXG
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
428Please respect copyright.PENANA3MfRp7qoHn
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAkWp9Cz27sx
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANATZeC9SYroj
The prince launched a fierce attack. Kakarot deflected it with his bare hands. He rushed to Vegeta, ramming into him with a headbutt. He kicked him away and shot a blast to follow up. Vegeta came crashing down, struggling to stand. Kakarot dropped his knee into his spine.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAXE96fEyhRX
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHGVpqaHys8
Kakarot grabbed him from his hair and slammed his face on the ground repeatedly. The pain in his wounds diminished as his strength grew. He got off the prince and turned him around to face him.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhuG1Idoeoo
Vegeta: “You don't… want to do this, Kakarot.. I didn't want to tell you… but we've discovered these magical orbs known as the dragon balls… I have one in my possession.. The plan was to use them to make me immortal, but we can restore your family instead, you won't be able to do this without me!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmFwbwA2WbN
Kakarot: “You still think this is about my family? Or even your betrayal? I've spent my entire life, devoting myself to other people. I spent my childhood wanting to be accepted and a portion of my early adulthood fighting a war to live a peaceful life with a woman. I dedicated the rest to a family and eventually to you guys. I thought this was all for me, but it was always for everyone but ME. But now, this isn't about the saiyans, this isn't about my family, or even about your betrayal, this is about me! There's nothing left to distract me from my real destiny and I've never felt more satisfied! So go to hell, Vegeta.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAg9VQxGcr3a
Vegeta: “Wait!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAcV4FyX9uW4
Kakarot finished Vegeta with a blast, leaving his corpse to rot. He looked up at the sky, showering in the rain. He smiled brighter than he ever had. The universe's greatest warrior had been born.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAFso6ks3v6z
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhuR49sQXqs
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9h22x6daX
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAwLuAXIOpr4
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
428Please respect copyright.PENANAzBJtT4o01A
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”
428Please respect copyright.PENANAnF4IWl1Y2C
Shenron: “As you wish."
