Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR1Rc0ZZsG
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjnkOqQzyG
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QxM5rOjgM
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA8XypNJEW
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhDAwEBxxc
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoVRAuv16s
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBTUInZPkD
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmjSW2XfNS
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5sGXisO0w
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s0fNPRW2l
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtfd40UpKr
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt7vVRyBXR
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDKWqvQ9l0
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn8Y0HSBh3
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHadJrvu8i
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCzWXm6Gyy
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJmxv1WNsU
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmFDyzVAYb
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOhNyw8JwJ
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2zhrHv120
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5FMRIXWQU
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybr5A38g5n
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiPxqADwYZ
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHan1y8IA4M
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBkOKf9ed4
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3FrVx2Wfj
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHG9TJ9EK8
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZv57qdHCC
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5O3ND7m5i
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0bpK0DLnr
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHrLPsq21l
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOnFvKtzSn
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezYrs21yyJ
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmanvx8JLvE
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelEMxXx01c
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wndBE4Wv6
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYCz1CKgep
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6joXH951Y
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjzA0BaxQt
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvzrSsvNFY
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pmsk71JMr
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lfwf5zaNe
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgwLQYWqWm
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtISGsMEFhY
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmE79TuTGe
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF63GDBeMp
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRylpUgQAjp
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx222QOI8ej
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAewVRicth3
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPzLveRGNL
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWPeS5qPfq
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV2S0JjoGO
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2MmuZOc0b
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVpS3o7L3V
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b7rDZDDpX
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACx7Jx5mwQ
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp557jOZBA
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTCTL2DtAx
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5kFUEXaQ0
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wf6bklZJY
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzEVi2ZtU0
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIanZI0FhfY
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARESY3FFqv
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACoYqaldpR
Beet: “Haaa!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliY8XfPjaZ
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbXDgvmkTq
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuoPYYlVax
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp2IimfW7U
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPheb40S3K
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRCzhuAnRf
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBEkOHK2kZ
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-”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12MzhlJsAt
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GwJog4Wps
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV5lVPBZyI
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5NZCHxOpv
Kakarot: “Enough”!
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtC7l8g5nU
Beet: “Huh?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBjuKqqWoG
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPaj7wwyxw
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPcn4ZM2vn
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI6OfQH4v3
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ529PcHhlVG
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtrbxmGBQT
Beet: “Right!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq5hytGedg
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0hYeqkC0E
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9hV3u4cpH
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQSd2TYH39
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFFkZRQnnS
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl1h5dFUXB
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg5lrebOhB
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoALi9uKGh
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiySXIcfswm
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgnl70NvBD
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO37c0U40Yd
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTePxo31rn
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh71YMODXu
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlE5O7eUVB
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhiffAW4cZ

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Njh1phPm
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnIh2aiyNW
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj1xYSQiB4
“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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZjD5itM9J
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwTv8Jrzs5
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABCLEj90co
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ437x5YPy
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqumQXSmfRP
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91yRrMhA0t
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0vOibUAFH
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sv3sIc4an
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWuL5SNmSS
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDER5nKHCFX
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1ufVONeuo
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwRa5NSG5E
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUdXkcRIs5
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOirLcWZ8dI
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeHyCYOUMp
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDZWrSHKaK
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpz2FXvVjD
Bulma chuckled.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu1UY0LpjV
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbN2YeReW0
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhylWywATu
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDwWkImiGY
Beet: “Momm!!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b5wLEgluJ
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNXasMEnXW
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRgAdbwhjX
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnD7w5vb4x
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfSj1BEz9O
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX4jwxSETh
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UPhMBA0rP
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgNiibNy0A
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFHUTXOtNC
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bL6p0hG5A
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA6lmkVy3K
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoviw8eIWCH
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMszkwne32
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnUdiTXl3j
Kakarot: “Enough!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYT7Q8usi8
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda2DLMTioT
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2xcw2cUGt
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmI1bHcbsG
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rx8PruH5F
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7AQoA0hwx
Beet: “Sir!!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnlQ8uaDPs
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojlKJo7f9a
Bulma: “Beet!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSJiHW68i3
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpakmyb9zo5
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74rkuThSmm
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzexhxdWrWO
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoJ2MOCqHX
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgZsWrfmxY
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfHZDhEJXl
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03m2MQDre4
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyha1Jbbys
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdOUKAPMMS
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuwag75SKD
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jq1FIGCG2
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhmon4RG9j
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxWZaUGHeB
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniVTWMxGqN
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05Rcv90SnE
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL5RNtmglg
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4arb8JE5um
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMlfwHRYfv
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErneaV7XEU
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHr9xDBXLR
Raditz: “You have my word.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyvnBHbOmx
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5akUxJjp8d
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwkanQBn7D
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86Hw4WtHK5
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDhJKeaalW
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpjNNjFodf
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?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AJJuY4lsy
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmI4RSiWdV
Raditz chuckled.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIRsCzBozX
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7PTSDcVNX
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45e7XxQO77
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGI7FeTnc2
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjDQpyANXq
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyA2KZT7x6
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy23s3jTPa
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxGm7fuiqI
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTboA2Dt0Rm
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm9zJr5eHz
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0LR9vZWwe
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhQAqb30M1
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1GJxbTdWZ
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzBwUQtEIi
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgip9Mw2y7v
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6illH13tax
Raditz took a deep breath.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4DW1fOQH2
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqMdm9a9QC
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LdLjymQRP
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnlDq4LWKx
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOMS37Nx7y
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mn4I54zmW
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?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw2yp34Jh5
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q1zA3Qwwc
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M6Rw52I7G
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiIVUh7WmY
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6SbgAxKxp
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCNS5c70kr
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfv7cxS6Pl
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJD9wRYzH7
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?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy17JsSqLgw
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuiCP0eEa7
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3PgPzxZ5k
Kakarot: “The prince?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynQkr0nvOX
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuyvUW6zfN
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvOGA78gLt
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?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP8lFj1hr2
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt9XvnxMUJ
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpyoBMOE3N
Kakarot: “….”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr6kdUmTWj
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXfv9qKdHu
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirQ0zzozNU
Bulma hesitated to reply.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIuxhMFlYD
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL9kAUaY9a
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONDZdheLO3
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudhaKj47Nx
Beet: “Sir!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJvIPGESsj
He came face to face with his father.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX47PZzh5JJ
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVZtAIHUBI
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMH3RbOZKt
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yA3bkUDQP
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQumVjHNzu
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN4GI118wM
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UNC9wg5pj
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbXZjvCdOR
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT1lq25G7R
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw6dPd20d7
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9DmEQnMt6
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ytFKnhSZD
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqURVj6R08
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpFypdCN0q
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.’
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRucuaffkvs
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHQ6tMqQ6y
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlAbscQpG8
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGdD086Msb
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hiqM2BkGx
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJsBYAy8nl
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX7bfvyGIJ
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyVS1bhxbA
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNifA54vw8o
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILFkFBZieb
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaYPCP00gK
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C7VXBO0AE
The prince hesitated.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEuiR7E6Gh
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLeqc48xAO
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HeBeAouOT
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTrqj3gc6D
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEfJhulzCs
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH1jl08jai
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TJiKTr1ZY
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWMZx1UK3O
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI16wY9Zn0
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqNZC6CY2l
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bQPWW3f0P
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s0EcDdat0
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kk1KInkVE
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEQhAGiJtm
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHmVgBy35d
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAkZWVAlNJ
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9X61OOoFG
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J5GWtiKLS
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT0YdEEXA8
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ8SfVMabF
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ2LabruWZ
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpteE5K81Mg
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRodlgENsD
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnktU5Mcfxd
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?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuiHKHpCB9
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA2lqoxnoH
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65hm3uV8YZ
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B1ZOYDB4g
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5KPlt20s8
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYfJER13LS
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?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6Et1Z2Tkd
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW4XQvUG8Q
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNcdGA0uAe
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5myhTHzXF
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9FvsoZTJh
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?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyDf487TlR
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHQvMi06g3
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUppkVByuB
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeeUkuPf97
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQIwce6HKx
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkYOzQO2iK
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MoVWmA6dD
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvweBQd1kp
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtgsn6sCQl
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8eJAiXvj9
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?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1z1kbnAB7
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ89U2EGlr
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSOR4ylmtj
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgI8SmVtq6
Kakarot: “What was that?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsSiromnl6
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIRMKoilYA
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?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWWxcNhFdC
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEFhyHvO3K
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiicAysc3TR
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgwjaAq1aY
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPiMXqrZHX
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p2OYHpWj2
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu14v4Suxe
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcFNVSrAoX
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO3iC8fVX2
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoo8dEdHfZ
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r5FCjM7fk
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2ead4mq9X
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsO64wLCFk
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XiQciOTJe
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EK0WUuXyH
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzPNcx7H0y
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tz3vVOrZB
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzxL8Pv51F
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BPvQfsCPQ
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5mFELHC1x
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.

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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7Qzl4jH4S
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YGqg2BjHJ
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOUIP8YULj
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuneWfxZll7
“Your foot is on my tail!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLrFwhPNXF
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpjX7OGGgT
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzp5WLQ9Ta
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5Xfww0oe4
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiiK6YVDTj
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVe2Xc8nul
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00pRwt2S42
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI1zBygF8U
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbmoaaxfKT
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTLJHtr9v6
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?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVzGs4T1WB
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUrfW3fOjW
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaQWt8egUY
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dk6G8HCUN
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyqmmJYYth
Kakarot smiled.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhIUgQMSaB
Kakarot: “Understood!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj03bXpHoJ
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFUyWhGv16
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tv9M0bJNL
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UZaRViadH
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkkcIRxpm3
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwRnxkdEf4
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeroWcIY2K
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPBKQWUJeS
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB6gyKHagZ
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokppB8aAkI

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX7P4QLQK6
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUpNOBUwA9
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNsXTBD90m
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyQjrhr0I4

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH7hlubLp6

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOkGanqI99
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdWsBtK7Bu
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp3Sua8eX5
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlamMrLOHL
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61GxCxp1i5
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAM1laz35V
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK0BMGvfgQ
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3P4DuTbt7
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45O8A8Ke53
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqQt2u5Xpy
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk25FnliV4x
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFuc96vK7j
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU3Jz5oXcS
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVyPKwPs2W
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoTN4vFtpV
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIaQg6Ijfw
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGPxN7Cdq9

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjSrTiJBIw
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDuuNkqyEo
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp192efNYAR
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgxxC1SqPb

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgpgh6aYeK

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3VsvDzNNC
Kakarot: “Huh?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PGSxbulOp
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5jI4d4Dkz
Raditz: “Why you!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwNK5sZMVP
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgMUVClITJ
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5gXrFGe0X

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRaA1Xfcp3
Raditz: ‘Right!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWxlOTkSKv

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdbrTDmiLn
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJA7Ku6gmD
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hZy9cCpZ9
“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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn7SUeOjPf
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVgcBFoQBu
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?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKZEc4ESIC
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDXwzTQuGB
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0OyLYgx2M
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfAdr0zeb9
Doctor: “I will sir.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Iiw3CItoU
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlkz3OfTPk
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR296SDidL
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbJDWpw3Qs
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGoBg4JJKV

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpha5MNWKEw
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmpDFsSZaf
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmbWzxSJdE
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mwLrZpDe3
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfQCR6cg5C
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkla842ZNv
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpglHD4vqu
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?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0x2lOuURb
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVMC6RzENS
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IMN0gwAom
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBycin9ytY
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTbM1ZHits
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpmeYcFI8X

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdQln3jcdC
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?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw3dpL1ucw
Kakarot: “When we win.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6NsmZLexZ

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRrg0Ic4Y6

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkhs7kicvz

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk9De4pjk7
Kakarot turned away to face the door.

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZUBqI9cCu
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.

Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTg5jyNgME
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjB1CzgdUK
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YgZna5PLl
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nAKW2zUZJ
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv38fPYloR2
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbmgcw6Py2
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpTTDhAVWy
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAS3XPD7Rh
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoWaCsZZOj
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08vjywrkK4
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT6tp4YPfs
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbNcbGNwqj
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykMdgaaUAy
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUFOk5lB99
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsyJeX6Sp7
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigM8sMwOKi
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUnW8x4MPk
Raditz: “I will..”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VBD2Dwnyl
Raditz turned to his comrades.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATnPKXUWMl
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAv1lqSVj4
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVAu9HWFzW
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kPeWOAHTB
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKc4WMoVs7
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZfAWFlgEA
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxJOqF9ft9
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDq7pksIsK
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwGzALPUg2
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iq58C149b
Beet: “Okay!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQq52P6jZn
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXFVabXhej
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0vNrQmCdi
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jUpkUQrsn
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TUco3hnKo
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ErBWflS5I
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTHVrWR83D
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE2NNlCfhw
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwKTpe7cpe
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYIsegW8fU
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJPmoL4Ihe
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwJAsjAsF6
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwZVRheGpw
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CW6zFYpVb
Beet: “O-Okay.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaq1FNZKjZ
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzQLTqaDKK
Kakarot: “What happened?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOLw9InZ0Z
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUF4yCQDLJ
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxf4IL7KlG
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiP2QBb4jA
Kakarot: “Fine.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQXJgDmDfN
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoAZNFIIGc
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ039O01EJL5
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HID2LFv1F
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTizm9qvqb
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR41CPH331t
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoBy5qCBip
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1bsxqnDtB
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXr6PBcWt0
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawZSd1yldF
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm46VPooPv
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDrfgsRIIQ
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG61X9HuChY
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNBlD28De7
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstw1KkdOsH
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfSFaZrHRO
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumilJIm3wy
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGiBnS6pR6
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVhS3D2yrR
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYSPsZZi1p
Raditz: “Understood.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaserHL0XU
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcxgbv16YP
Raditz departed from the room.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpI2HOJVlZ
“Haaaa”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHewMxVERSx
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1TbVhqy1z
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKI61DLqDm
Kakarot: “Right.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QikYqz2PU
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnwQEK3INw
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGILFTi8Hs
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m9Z31fy3F
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JHitcCwe5
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcNHALnvs2
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlviyawH83K
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM59qQE4ea
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZezfqohyRc
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YNxHZ8SHL
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXAd8hmn4t
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEkt95uvX9
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAFub8PWBF
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzW98ojqWU
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR7Rj1byxe
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pcv6PtMwP
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfPpu0Paji
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2ga4l9bLH
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrFGhb4wsj
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstRnCG3rJ0
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtflWrPhg1j
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz5fyuF1l8
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv1hcz357q
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLUoVMSZVS
Kakarot turned around.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJyxHoeZSz
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dC5Pqf1pb
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVOcvb8izy
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?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SsnQp90ch
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQm1kL4HDf
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAABKzVaJAt
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hilDH15NO
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXUGAiKaPR
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA4Kp0863h
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaXvs0krUS
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKy538loKX
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9EFxjLJvR
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS9ZxGrKra
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DVDcOUqlm
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOacnMJ6gdE
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjuLIS9beL
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGLzawJH5r
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPayLcRAbP
Kakarot: “Right!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyI8HAOhJp
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO2R4eg80x
Kakarot: “Yes?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpo8fT2SbT
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvnl7giCN2
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6Xlh1paF1
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiUAIxHwht
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYrpqLiiDL
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP7PXJBQI9
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JOV4PS0dt
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9jG5iF5gn
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3KPKqCmw2
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCNKOad2NE
Raditz turned to his brother.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS7NvdE9WD
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZpV2c3Re1
Raditz: “Right..”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqnYM448Ov
Raditz took off with his pod.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR2ERLmAEt
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgczFvkRlyM
“Let me take a look.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwKmRILk5a
Beep! Beep! Beep!
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3No3sXirW
“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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvX3SJHECg
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SL3cd2Moi
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86TUxw5QhH
He bowed in respect.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWkWLStItp
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUoQV8pm7g
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CxyVGNzCm
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeMH6zEhT6
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4tRpljAaU
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3xlIQkOpN
Raditz: “As you wish.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm6CXHkc6k
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvp2vZoCxc
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVLhljV9au
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHQz9VhGdg
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFvsv62eSy
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWAYPg5y2e
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf8bfo2Os6
Zarbon took his leave.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmX0kymRrV
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3686GQb50
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N2c3u4FIO
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIfQrYrAeh
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE9axG4Ap9
Raditz chuckled.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd9wYbE5lV
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2djFvVwX9H
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IpTvJpmNc
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBprtr1JHfh
Beep! Beep! Beep!
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSZLcAy9JP
Raditz: “He's here…”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHPOEursrL
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs77C76ISlW
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqvFTb0zZa
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0jWhCWM3K
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S8lm5EJIb
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3ppuZSCcQ
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI0qMMLsz9
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp4cmuMXSz
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTWKbsf5Sd
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SJ2kXTaDc
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WtZZYsoIL
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVWK5xsGCx
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JQ7BI3EQF
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje6oviCMAP
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa4dNGIOxl
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8iYBOWa4e
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVfbIdhlbN
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGy9OVdofS
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9rxJ0l8vD
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqUoB0KJ8Q
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0uv0UoCLW
Raditz: “Damn it!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXHknY9OMv
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcViTb28fLb
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2DWptovLd
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2w2Urm74r
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R2ZMqicGI
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E29CUT38B
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEgpbpS43w
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfPw5vy4ca
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKALVRyWyeh
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSDG7MrRWv
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV6T05GM0X
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQXqtq8XRe
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sUqY36jEd
Beep! Beep! Beep!
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYlnr7dRFY
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtOB8IubaB
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjune68CLcR
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ5xhNdAUg
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z1hwawDnN
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwquqURvLlE
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgH3SuBIvv
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4FIb4TzR8
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijVmc2yMOs
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMvxyhUUqc
Dodoria: “Why you!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSXAOkkY9n
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGerqCk0ln
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNOasy30Mz
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcDStOtwhc
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dieieheEA

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IkPZxFfjZ

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC0BiTC3t1
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuSpQTkaki
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GNRNsmtxL
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm86YigahB
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIWIE9Yw34
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUsmaL1mnk
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMYeOTPBVE
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabAigqnEui
Vegeta: “Huh?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6slvHAkXB

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJWDAggwB2

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bkdWm1LZR
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIczz6epGup
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV9Qe847Mu
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14NYuWjbdL
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfyYSM3StX
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ypy26QIXb
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30l8i6x0JL
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChnvnx1SUl
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJDLZZaOQm

Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3ce638AAB
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp1VmbErgS
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7WzXwpb2W
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hj5Of3mZF
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP73ANFOZ7
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM7EscGexC

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGtRmgpgXx
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGFi0nXmul
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF79gCubtUC
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmXeXW4eHK
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbA6rbHeVq

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNmrIZY936

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdWhAnTqra
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn8ZqM8SyN
Frieza: “Y-You-”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwVStcODMQ

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84ZomAa2d3
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcCrcPlRyR
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbYRfERAAy
Kakarot: “Not again!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71X2m91jGr
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAlZa9k0ay
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhc2EOa9Uc

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6legcvVj3z
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjx1nktLEt
Kakarot: “Look out!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu31peRTakf
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzjGoM6zKs

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOYtkDCKR7
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCTEUWph1q
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBgtbS7ZKe
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XguiaQAvj
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7qCi57uy0
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieJ59Ywvyy
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmEhGQMHck
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUlkQ3aAac
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTYLYxKyqg
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD4SuQddxy

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyA4AWvT99
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGyLxRSkuu
Frieza: “You again!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN67I7IAGIq
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz2XjsNJZZ
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiV9gmlkZa
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VbFCg2Fr2
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJqO1SH0Fq
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf0WBLAZVT
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMupGdSfcc5
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVb5S8T36k
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9cVSxnqEd
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBKZPctkfa
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxgMzTn7br
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j4Gcw0mka
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggQ1fsTeZ7
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8pnoM8Vb3
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRMyg8Q94w
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY3Walkzk0
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmowmsv60F
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVybBrAEy3V
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPQlOBRXXx
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozp4nUPCzX
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjPsulmIFE
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd22gMJ1e8
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFls69map4o
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4bToBjJ5v
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vtf7HYXIj
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIPS6kstVW
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn5SQRkbnN
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS5sN6Ry1Z

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMcQC4Jg91
“Haaaaaa!!!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3RCCOXuxO
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNROHHuGXZ

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDQBh0k1yg

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDhZCQyyYX
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc9uo4BEIw
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MkSdG0uke

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS1SrvNQC4

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGlDIZDVcB
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVrDFg5NLB
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HDbqdsogU
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSkG2lXSqG
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU2tMPa28M
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08YVacrPjl

822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qERkZ1bXR
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3uOGdacGL
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuc8DT3kSv
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.

Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqSGZnjyol
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6d5VkxgSa
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKFREkraSy
Kakarot: “It's done…”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdDxu4XZGP
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDIoFIicR8
Vegeta ascended into the air.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1pxYfXp6N
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9xdsAsHil
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWBP0ZQRCX
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzynG3xfiF
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCOMxkvvOy
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT24hCwqf4I
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ5muB2ucz
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv9IehhrBa
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEt3eI16MS
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yVgX6Isow
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2vCTvDzF7
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs9KKY9fUL
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KeCW0eX2a
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4wQMD5cAs
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2TMiPDWHV
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlezW8XkERR
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0ImOIHpkl
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYoNfePiRI
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPwqLOLeYr
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDL9mROozv
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESbhWH1eZa
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDxTMcgYsR
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdazaHTrEA
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB3EDFlXvI
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIfllrKs2w
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBwxmzAxGc
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uvOfQBgVJ
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO1dc9VfUO
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5OtuQOZ0T
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvstCuYsjle
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCLKFi3kzQ
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCY2Ub93y2
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieZ4bDedTl
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ7GVUbIPd
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXeD5UQb4r
He looked at his fist in shame.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO6MItz4Ns
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrpZXQ5j0F
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLvn3kiIdj
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7YjbOXotu
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZXSnwnFdE
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LDdsnPuNn
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyrB5utsZe
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p1hZbUikn
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDgSWOyate
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3MSgNVSNq
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfeU7VouOL
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iGgeqbBWd
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HAYFag5D3
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8peTxWodV
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7qITWyNx1
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..”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbmRjbTpKF
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP9g0WDSfV
Kakarot: “No…”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY858recMT1
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel8UOJ3gAW
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7HN9IBSjI
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAedHskSRp
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryioIZJQz3
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttWjaBfmzh
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajc5H9wMm4
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjTL39VSmP
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd5ynP5Sjm
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsdEqOsjt0
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD7c53LnKd
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCW9Ism3Ss
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7ekao1D3v
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmymfdgeUJ
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf88rSLSe7
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Y1NZeCbZ
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGavj8kdAg
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE3Kpdbd4S
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM1hIxGW4e
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RczDSPOsc
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZnWi9hYfU
Raditz bowed down in respect.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8mlNvTqA8
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DNTrmqn7s
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV4IOONWrR
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIzy4NvKHp
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aziUjtaFw
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8415gfwdl
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgRZNvWLGG
Raditz: “Right!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoc3ZTThzs
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI7Vr1ARw1
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0nINira1s
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpCWkfgbQq
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6ntv8aFoR
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzHZHWnFVZ
Tears ran down his face.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FzboxWsJe
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?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUm0i6ddbL
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNuB3Fx1CZ
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGEav1ZvNb
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsGsmLyGvz
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xt6g7yTpL
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2SsCQY9MN
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXfAYX2Dfo
Raditz smirked.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoruaUPYXsK
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZUOkRABN7
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIK1OHZc46
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd2k6YkZIJ
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepCUtenG0H
He pounded the ground.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlddQIesKA
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDQLrclOTs
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ304gF0pwi7
Kakarot: “To fight!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NnPHPPVMK
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc4HoEa9Kc
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIGbw9xIGP
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqMhyK1WSl
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE05vfeX4C
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7X56zjcm5
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRm0jEP35m
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nZCwfrhp3
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4mvq1lMES
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hc4GgCzyl
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.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh12TFR3Baz
Vegeta: “Wait!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b64MjUrqk
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.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdzubHJYgi
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zotHCx4Ey
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVLMVA18zm
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF05TYvuAF
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6vpCMc4ef
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!”
822Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXE9FxpEaC
Shenron: “As you wish."
