Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAG4k8nbGgFp
Bardock: “Working under you gave me the opportunity to be the warrior I craved to be, I can admit that, but I think I speak for every saiyan when I say we're tired of being under your watch. We were born to be free and fight for our pleasure! Not for your convenience! This ends now! Frieza!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAgGe2CrKaLk
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOGhxMOJjTN
Frieza: “No, no. He went through all the trouble of fighting off my soldiers and confronting me directly. I cannot explain why but I feel like I owe him this last duel. Perhaps then this monkey will realize his pathetic place in this universe when he draws his last breaths.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAytyl3uwLfA
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAY7egtuOvRz
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANARXtbx584we
The saiyan warrior launched a fist full of fury and pride. The mighty emperor redirected his punch with a palm strike to his arm. Bardock turned right back around and rushed Frieza with a combination of fierce and rapid punches and kicks. Frieza had no trouble evading and blocking each strike. A smirk was firmly printed on his face, showing the saiyan who was truly in control. Bardock jumped back and quickly shot a ki blast at the tyrant. Frieza stopped the blast with his bare hand. The explosion was a mere calculated distraction from the proud warrior. The smoke hid Bardock's location, giving him the chance to deliver a full power kick to Frieza's liver, followed by a punch, charged with ki, to his face. The blows sent Frieza back a few feet. His smirk was wiped from his face, shifting into an irritated frown.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8Hzss8f0tt
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANACw1zvrXsvk
The emperor made his move, striking Bardock's rib with his pinky finger at a blinding speed. The saiyan spit blood and lost his balance. Frieza swung his tail, slamming it into his face, knocking more blood out. He struck him a few more times before piercing his leg with a small beam he shot from his finger. Blood gushed out from the wounded warrior's leg. He yelled in agony and held his injured area. The sadistic emperor went for another shot at the saiyan's shoulder this time.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYz87m3a7PQ
Frieza: “It's a shame knowing you're the last one standing from your side of this war. The prince is under my control and the remaining saiyans are nothing to worry about. The saiyan race has fallen!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANADn3RXMZZsD
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQY16RkAPBU
Bardock: “I guess I was right to think ahead hehe. You're wrong! The saiyan race will never truly fall! You may have conquered all of our remaining warriors, but there's one more! Kakarot! Remember that name! Frieza!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAtnsnoI90MO
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0jJLyMxDT5
Bardock accepted his fate, but he refused to die in such an insulting manner and let out one final burst of energy from his palm. Frieza raised his finger, generating a massive ball of energy that resembled a sun.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8h6u425g2N
Frieza: “My original intentions were to wipe out all of you monkeys with this war so I could salvage this planet for my own, but perhaps it's best that I make sure no trace of your once thriving society remains.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOw8TkSbPpi
He lowered his finger, tossing the sphere at Bardock's direction. The attack completely disintegrated Bardock's final stand. With no power left to fight back, the last soldier of the saiyan resistance succumbed to his inevitable fate.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA6gtws0GbNj
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAhEJ9NS75Ko
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3MQbmbuTS
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA9c1m1roGdA
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANArMbZIgedd9
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAc67LnGpUjJ
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANADQeeQYCzS6
Commander Red: “How dare you pretend you have a moral high ground! You and I both know you loved every moment out there! You live for this…Kakarot!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANATqiWs1ZLEP
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAGJdBBETHIK
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxR06cRSgoB
The saiyan chopped the Commander in half with his bare hand. He crashed through the roof of the building they stood in and flew off.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqLQxzZZbN6
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAz1ed4TGU6q
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAdjZtO3qPun
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOEdEqBKGmc
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOym3gJgtmx
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAa1Ru99GbxD
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAuq9hVsCT18
Kakarot: “My ear piece was damaged during battle. The martial artists from before stepped in but I finally settled the score with them. No one will ever hurt us again.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA6CrwAJaZL5
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAtCovPXdT7v
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAZnpv0XOY1x
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAIC0rY68iiY
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANADcfQIfEx3W
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAyByiemfnaZ
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjwLDKFaAqZ
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA6Vgh98sZpS
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAm7csoXYVgO
Kakarot: “I have no interest in leading these people, they can do whatever they want as far as I care, just as long as we're left unbothered. We should start by thinking about our future.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFUXNUdd3r8
For months, the war between Kakarot and the earth's alliance had dragged on, many fell victim to Kakarot's might before the combined forces of the government and even the red ribbon army had fallen, finally ending the conflict. The best martial artists on the planet had their own turmoil with the saiyan but they unfortunately faced the same fate as the rest of his opposition. Despite the terrors that took place, a period of tranquility was achieved at last. A peace that would last for a few years to come.
253Please respect copyright.PENANART0XDLtMNc
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAP9TN0UKZS4
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5kz19UXEh
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA5hrYrEc8RP
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAw9NUlWqyWA
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4GVWmPfkq9
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAGOomjnvmpa
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANABWZIXCC3Qm
Kakarot: “I haven't even begun to comprehend what lies beyond our planet, what goes on outside our universe was never really of my concern.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANALogOfSZofF
Bulma: “Well, I've studied quantum mechanics as much as I've studied engineering and there's theories suggesting the possibility of a multiverse. An infinite set of parallel worlds like our own but with minor or sometimes major differences.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8mcXSW4fu3
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxToXx3fJW3
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQcDp05HJZT
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA93WvLMQWdL
Bulma: “That explains a lot. This isn't just any vehicle though, once I get it figured out, this baby will be able to take us across dimensions! Look, I know we will never be able to undo the damage we caused, I've accepted it was for the greater good, but with this, we could go to other worlds where we exist and prevent this disaster! We can work together and create harmony so they don't have to live with our guilt!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAdcUdZsaOtw
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
253Please respect copyright.PENANARab3RPlWn0
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAKFzeQulmRe
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAm6Me1LC1tG
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAfTfPAAMPoX
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANARnRLed0Tqt
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAGnwLjlXb2T
Bulma: “You know how that boy is, he said he was going to pick some things up from the city, but I'm almost certain he's out in the woods again.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQj4DCnzM9x
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAdJeZNAlfFY
Beet: “Haaa!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8x8OEQQGjj
Beet kicked at the beast that stood before him, knocking one of its teeth out. The dinosaur remained determined and swung its massive tail at the child who just barely reacted in time to evade it. The dinosaur charged at him, chomping it's jaws at Beet. The boy struggled to escape every bite.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAa3aNvnpW9e
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAnGHHEPounf
Beet was whacked by the creature's tail, knocking him over. The dinosaur opened its jaw revealing its terrifying teeth. Beet closed his eyes shut and covered his face, preparing for the worst. The dinosaur bit down, but to his surprise, there was nothing there.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAge7k5EBtd1
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAP4vroVNHQH
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANABgjJf20Yxw
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAgib0ZyF7Kd
Kakarot: “You're focused on the wrong objective. You can strike its head as many times as you want and it still has the chance to get up again. But-”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYgrjatsvB8
Kakarot snatched the dinosaur's tail and tore it off in the blink of an eye. A big smile took over his face, overcoming his usual serious demeanor. His smile quickly faded as he saw the blood that leaked from the tail.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAXAcWQ63tGR
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAX8sdmHoSIB
A memory of the bloodshed from the war that had taken place crossed through his mind. He took a deep breath for a moment. The dinosaur fled from the scene in fear. Beet darted after it. Kakarot snapped out of his trance.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAENfcQuRNWU
Kakarot: “Enough”!
253Please respect copyright.PENANAuX6Buhd76Z
Beet: “Huh?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAZPrQ8gmQxm
Kakarot: “I already got us a boar for dinner, there's no need to kill an opponent that can't fight anymore. It's broken beyond repair, don't carry the burden of being the one who took its life.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWaD2RuwdA9
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxCwrAoCQlj
Kakarot: “Everything we do is for survival. If we need to eat then we'll kill, if we need to defend ourselves then we'll kill. But that thing had nothing left to fight with. There's no reason to finish it off.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFTzQenu8zC
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAZPYGNbEiqS
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVKD94RQipf
Beet: “Right!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA6WzH8lvI7N
The family sat outside around a bonfire. The young Beet was tuckered out from his big day, he rested his head on his mother's lap, giving in to his fatigue. She caressed his soft hair and smiled. Kakarot kept his head low, pondering away at some troublesome thoughts. He caught a glimpse of Bulma staring and immediately looked away, hoping she wouldn't notice.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWNq3e2IFD0
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAiHe9EGtiBP
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA3Jzg11grA9
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMgNfNxb7as
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4fLC5Rd5e1
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOJVOB0FyfD
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANANIRyRi0X5b
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAHgC1As9K6w
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA26xbmSUxYx
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAvv4QjeFGSh
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAwC09N7MGya
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAivgt1mHCPz
Bulma: “Yeah, you weren't exactly a scholar per se, haha! Cramming in those study sessions must be just as new for you as it is for him.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMYZyQNkyNu
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAHF0JerAnXR

Kakarot: “I love you too.”

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAa9h8yTQgg
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAGv9T950x2p
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAzuwlnPx3Ev
“Only a fool would continue this struggle, if we surrender to their commands, at least our people will get to live another day. I'm sorry, Colonel, call off our men.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAeSL3uQXEjN
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7XbWFmWYYx
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA2Lau3V478r
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAyO48o5pEi8
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAmQdprlvuPN
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAIdq7IG7Z6Z
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAfs0R9Kq1V
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANASRs2YRoFBA
King Tuffle: “I have withdrawn my forces as you requested. We'll form an alliance like you desired and lend a hand in your fight. As long as you keep your side of the deal and let us be after it's all done.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqP1I0X0asY
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAJoOACGrdsl
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjTH12azWYK

“It works just how the rumors said they would. With this technology, tracking frieza's movements will be a breeze.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAnEesjTphlc
“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAokOuEhBjQi
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAISTqCEkGiX
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA9JHuv1nRvO
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAk6zeaRe3d7
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAKK4912rgiQ
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANACxmEoXTHBi
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFuW5nxsK59
Bulma chuckled.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFydSHkgUcv
Bulma: “Well, as long as we get this baby done, do as you please! You know, I'm surprised you went along with this after all.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAgHTF49RZ1K
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWpvhYne7yh
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAKK3Bd4APUH
Beet: “Momm!!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAbhkqUIvRkq
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA2GFjPrcjvr
The busy mechanic rushed to her son's needs. Kakaort returned to his work but was almost immediately interrupted by a shout coming from outside.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAk1w8ixCrXg
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQMdY0FAFwl
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAoluGWhpBWk
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAGLGJ5W0Qji
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYlu2VlJoHp
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAIfLROqRca9
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAToLKsEqBpo
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAzwi8Z5Vuwg
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYEJGiuY1fu
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANANOyWJeUhbI
Kakarot: “You're playing a risky game coming here and demanding to see me all of a sudden. I don't care what you're here for, leave my planet or I'll make you!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAc2Y6Q2sMrB
Raditz: “So, the planet does belong to you after all. That's good to hear. This will be a perfect base to rebuild the saiyan empire hehe.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAXrRnxdqCCM
Kakarot: “Enough!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA2D4RZ5bOay
Kakarot flung himself at the unsuspecting saiyan. Raditz noticed at the last second but still managed to evade the frustrated warrior's attacks with ease.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAo6kK5gMkID
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANACLCodQWDYl
Kakarot threw a fierce punch which Raditz evaded at blinding speed. His movement played tricks on the saiyan's eyes, leaving behind only an after image with the real Raditz having already got a hold of Kakarot's blind spot. He smacked him away with a mighty backhand.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAE9OJ3wMcEE
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA3X2yIm0rYb
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAboG0QRJ7RN
Beet: “Sir!!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANALGp42godXb
Beet rushed to his father's aid, throwing a kick at his uncle. Raditz flicked the child away with a strike from his tail. Beet crashed to the floor, hanging onto his consciousness.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA31d4hxiy6R
Bulma: “Beet!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAUWJno1CmS0
Raditz: “The boy will be fine, don't worry about him. That look on your face, Kakarot, it's almost as though you've never tasted absolute defeat like this hehe.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAuPLsf6zZSS
Kakarot's breaths were heavy, his body was petrified from fear. The feeling was instantly overwhelmed by a sudden rush of adrenaline. Before he knew it, his body stood, almost on its own. He rushed his brother once more, his blows were suddenly sharper and swifter than before. Raditz found himself putting in effort to defend the assault. Raditz blocked a kick with his forearm only to have it be immediately followed up by an elbow to his face. With only seconds to react, he stopped the attack with his palm, just barely avoiding contact. His eye twitched in irritation.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMuhkXBqMm3
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANADccgouDlrl
He drove his knee straight into Kakarot's stomach, ending his sudden burst instantly. Kakarot collapsed to the ground, his body refused to answer his demands, seemingly paralyzed. He gasped for air, struggling to speak. Raditz raised his hand, reaching towards the defeated man. Bulma yelled at him to stop as Kakarot flinched, accepting his fate. There was a sudden pause from Raditz. Kakarot opened his eyes again, only to see his older brother reaching out to lend a hand. Surprised, Kakarot used his remaining strength to force his hand up and got a grip of Raditz's hand. Raditz helped him to his feet before letting him go.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ9glL2OLP
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAXkEIllx16Q
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANABkm06TBnav
Raditz: “That's right, I'm your older brother, Kakarot. It may seem a little jarring, but you're from another planet, one that has long since ceased to be. You were presumably sent here to conquer this world, although I never understood why planet 4032-877 of all places.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAsAEGjcvHaN
Kakarot: “I always knew I was different. The people of this world made that clear to me, but I never imagined I'd be from a completely different world.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAuavUMHCMF2
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYPvVm96xkj
Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA70U15KHfxw
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAnQElyDN7fY
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANACQ3Xujys5d
Raditz: “Right, I should cut to the chase. My name is Raditz, sorry for not properly introducing myself earlier. I'm not here for some late family reunion, I'm here to recruit you, little brother.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAv1NSHgZ5At
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAhdTT5wkWlL
Raditz: “Our Race has long since been reduced to mere numbers you can count with your fingers alone. It wasn't by no natural causes however, our kind were victims of a genocide from a tyrant known as Frieza. He enslaved our people and forced us to do his bidding for decades until we finally stood up to him and waged war against him and his forces. As fate may have had it, our forces soon fell, the rebellion failed and frieza believed it to be easier to simply wipe us out for good. There were some of us however who didn't partake in the war, we were off on duty, unaware of all that went down. For years, Frieza deceived the remaining saiyans into believing a meteor had struck down our planet. We recently found out it was all a lie invented by Frieza to keep the remaining of us loyal to him. What he doesn't know is that neither of us ever took pride in serving him! But this isn't just about fighting for our freedom anymore, this is for our proud race that he dared to look down upon! Join me, brother, let us retake our honor by slaying this bastard!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMmNCVZ4xNR
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAX79Q6c7qNG
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAO4bEJNeCft
Kakarot: “He took everything from you, my life is here, on earth. Besides, I've fought a war all my life, I don't want to jump into another one after we just reached a peaceful era.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQM4oKKEDPy
Raditz: “I see.. Well, then let me spend the night with you brother, just for us to connect a bit before I return to my comrades.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAXqzUE0jOsX
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA35Kl3075qC
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANANoNWwum6MG
Raditz: “You have my word.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVHj1YAhewL
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAJCzAscrWeG
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYodcox6aKa
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlCOAHOM7t9
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAcU9UKDwVLX
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA9D8p1GYvf9
Raditz: “You worry too much, child, you're a saiyan like the both of us, a bit of a runt I'll say, but a saiyan nonetheless. You'll grow to be much stronger when you're older. Doesn't that excite you?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAG6fTdGjrd9
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFotgQKHrs8
Raditz chuckled.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAnZmPGwjGAZ
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANANNcbiOhcYP
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8Zw81mIqNZ
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAUvhoLiiyDm
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAkh1qsXWXYv
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFINpp419iG
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA9iENUbYCB8
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAmVmVUvGNja
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANArATuDMLNCA
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANATQnk2hFtAp
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAIOAFQeVmpp
Bulma: “Honey, I think I'm gonna sleep early. Don't stay up too late, okay? I still don't really trust him, it's best we get the day over with soon.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAbax0TSpqVz
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANARGfFSpuo3m
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAvqNfkGvOX
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlJeUkXtCZX
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA2dWpQvnhDO
Raditz took a deep breath.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAPlRkGbKQDH
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANADGc94sgDO3
Kakarot did not question his sibling and partook in his request. The two left the house and walked out into the night sky. Raditz levitated high into the air and Kakarot followed. Raditz came to a sudden halt. He faced the night sky, illuminated by the countless stars, miles away.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAks0U2knAai
Raditz: “Take a look, brother, the universe is infinite. Why would you limit yourself to such a pointless, finite world like this one? Don't lie to yourself, this mundane life doesn't suit our kind. We're warriors! Born to fight!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlkudf9NObK
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFxBdG71Z0D
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAXLv4GNJvow
Kakarot: “I've never faced much of a threat on this planet, I've never truly been pushed to my limit. Earlier, when you humiliated me in our battle, I felt something. A rush, one like no other. I was going to die and yet I felt more alive than ever. What was that?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYFeox1iy3H
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAo0nboyprTL
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q4lyk4vGy
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAvQUB04LGEJ
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWkE5Ah4NQm
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7c5T92ry8u
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAj5XNcJJCP0
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAIlFnEz1TG8
Raditz: “Vaguely, I've heard about him before though. He was a powerful leader of an elite squad. Rumor has it, he was the one who led the rebellion against Frieza. Our father was a great man, Kakarot. Don't you want to take after his footsteps?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANANVuAAMoGmP
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAH55MvTGw5D
Raditz: “I leave tomorrow, I have an extra pod you can take so you can tag along. I can take you to meet the prince so you can join our alliance.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAooJnKU6orr
Kakarot: “The prince?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAcSLPbcn0jk
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAgUQAAc4kEH
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAhQKBYgry1H
Bulma: “I don't understand! We're finally at peace and now you want to run off into another fight that isn't even your own?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANApcaHCo0dlY
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAdNdTut7btc
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA1toaco4ur4
Kakarot: “….”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAyHeqBIlk4q
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMIiqQDncKM
Kakarot: “For most of my life, I was neglected by the earthlings, I was different and there was no one to guide me through this unwavering sense of inferiority! They're like me, I want to meet them, I need to. Besides, I can't shake this feeling that this is my calling.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAJLR3gtNNQi
Bulma hesitated to reply.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAsFagmuayXO
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAP4Z5MMEDSr
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAs990Kb3KCY
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAgixlbZzXbW
Beet: “Sir!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAkkTmd9Df50
He came face to face with his father.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAGPVaUUoaBy
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxQbWoiuScK
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlEDidHKhdD
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAHX9Fwze1Y0
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAz44TA5L39m
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA9BJwj4It2q
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAgLNlcXiiIR
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANApP0WzfXqwJ
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAKw2cR0v0VZ
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAPpKocprASZ
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANALomlb8uCdR
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANASvHnXYXfGl
Raditz: “Well, aside from me, the other two saiyans are Nappa and the prince, Vegeta. Unlike us, they're top level elites with the prince being the absolute most powerful.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA5u3e22L5rf
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAP49pZqVvC
Raditz: “They are, especially the prince. He's the strongest saiyan in history! They're both proud warriors, like me of course. You're on your way to becoming one of us too.’
253Please respect copyright.PENANA5Bg2NpBqsr
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANASUSYtLDfEB
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAzzcLeuVVBq
In the span of a few hours, the pods arrived at their destination. The Prince and his comrade awaited their arrival, preparing to greet them once they landed. The pods crashed into the designated area, revealing the two saiyans aboard them. Kakarot fought to keep his composure, but couldn't help but smile after gazing upon the mighty warriors that stood before him. He approached them, taking a knee after reaching them.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7X7CQzAeVf
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0DHKMMlYi
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqTOpRVC5Wg
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANARF1yuq7BUt
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqUiWygXdYv
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqvvVbZvKXp
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAux7DI2UWhx
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAwwqaR2MenM
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxy3pOlslJ7
The prince hesitated.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAm0AX1Nt8CL
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANASUip69qmAr
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8DEOchwG5w
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAt2xfIKZiSJ
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAKuPvNvg0dK
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAo4JioTecDb
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAh3elKuasnf
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqOjTEP91gj
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAHBDac5uRZ9
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAmlEbKJjJRE
Kakarot examined his surroundings, quickly taking notice of the highly guarded area. The soldiers that surrounded them didn't appear to be saiyans, but they wore similar apparel. Aside from small animals and critters, no other signs of life were present. The vast land ahead of them was empty, only them and the soldiers occupied the space. They entered a large, elegant building with huge pieces of glass art, depicting an unknown civilization of people. They came to a halt in front of a throne with various seats. The prince took his rightful place on the throne as Nappa sat on a seat right beside, displaying a sense of authority. Kakarot and Raditz took a seat on a more mundane section, next to the Colonel in command of the Tuffle army.
253Please respect copyright.PENANABVERlDYhRG
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQcEznmPGgK
Kakarot: “Yes, he told me about Frieza and what he did to our people. I've agreed to help you crush him on behalf of the saiyan race!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANACtxD24BH0k
Vegeta: “You've got spirit, but it's going to take more than that to defeat this scum. You see, aside from his troublesome power, Frieza also wields a powerful army. In order to get to Frieza, we have to get rid of that pesky army first. We've made an alliance with the Tuffle race, he who sits beside you is the commander of their military in fact. Having them on our side is a big help, but we can't be too careless, we need to recruit more allies. Until we get the remaining forces, we must lay low.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAiejdYfOcQz
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAtAZ3vWhO1O
Vegeta: “We've been eyeing a planet known as Tatsu. We hear their kind are great for combat, and legend has it, amongst them is one they call Amaterazu. If he's as strong as they say, forcing him to submit to our leadership could be just the advantage we're looking for!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAc8UWRkFnzh
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAuQpGpVFH23
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAKwQnHoEAR0
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4tFarR0JKF
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAg9SxW8Bm1P
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjwN1KyEatH
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANABRxWGe5WFH
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAG4udAhF6Mt
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0vE3pseiSU
Vegeta: “I'm having doubts about your little brother, you sure his mind hasn't been corrupted from being away from his people for that long?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4xUrcikmdu
Raditz: “I'll admit, he's a bit of an oddball, but you know me, Prince, I can get him on board, just trust me. Take him to planet Tatsu with us, I'll work my magic.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANANDFmmgPBdI
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANARsNIntgYT9
The pair made their way back to the room where the rest waited in silence. Vegeta took his place on his throne, continuing his speech.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlhpRLljPeh
Vegeta: “Ahem, like I said, we'll be paying the Tatsu race a visit. If luck is on our side, they'll be just what we need to turn the tide on Frieza. Until further notice, we can't make too much commotion though, if Frieza finds out we're plotting against him, it's over. Now then, prepare your pods, we're leaving at noon. You're all dismissed.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAihoXlOIEOh
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOgpIhC6zwx
Kakarot: “Raditz, are we really going to kill all of them if they don't comply? What good would such an act even do for us?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA22gML7OxLc
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA38fGo53KLw
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAcgV7lU2CVo
Raditz: “Listen, if we let them live, there exists the possibility of Frieza getting to them and getting information we'd rather he didn't have. We can't take that risk. It's just another sacrifice in the name of the greater good is it not? It's not their fault we chose them, but it's not our's that Frieza enslaved us after killing our kind. In order to win some, others must lose some. That is war, for someone that has lived in one all their lives, I'm sure you can understand it.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWBnSNDDbN6
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANADgBQa6gltA
Raditz: “Now quit your whining, this is going to be your official, first real fight. Aren't you excited? Don't you want to feel that thrill again?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMSbVwNMpXw
Kakarot's mood took a sudden turn. A smirk fueled by excitement lit up on his face. He clenched his fists as if the mere thought of battle pumped up his adrenaline.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0ewLZr9hxi
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANALZX6hnGFw3
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAI1meAsQebN
Kakarot: “Please, brother, let me have another go, even if it's just for a few minutes! I want to fight! I want to be a great saiyan like you, and like Prince Vegeta.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAnqkeBvWEVz
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAL7Sh8CJgeB
253Please respect copyright.PENANAh8QPhgjD1O
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAzcENaVBxqY
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA5njs6l8Tbo
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqGnfiee4n1
Raditz: “Hehe, what can I say? Can't help being strong! Hmm… there might be a way for you to hold your own y’know?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANARWwmA03jAv
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYZIX2hXVpB
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWtmzUpzeI2
Raditz raised his hands just above his shoulders. His ki surged into both of his palms, forming purple shaded ki spheres. He released them, shooting forward dual ki waves. He detonated them before they made contact with their surroundings.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAtOxrThBTcs
Kakarot: “What was that?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAcKAgohm2WA
Raditz: “That's my special move, I call it the Double Sunday. By focusing your energy into a single point, you can let out an attack with more power than your average strike. It took me a while to master this technique, but with practice, you should be able to come up with one of your own.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAZRrv4hhMFn
Kakarot: “You never cease to amaze me. Tell me, brother, if Vegeta is the prince, then where do you and Nappa fall in the hierarchy as the last of our kind?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAGemUmWoxC1
Raditz: “Nappa has always been Vegeta's loyal goon. That bootlicking bastard serves as his right hand man, unfortunately, he has the power to back it up too. I, however, am working my way up to a similar position. The prince has been considering giving me a permanent role in the royal force.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMTS3SiZR0r
Kakarot: “That sounds great. I hope it all works out for you. I, on the other hand, think Imma settle down with my family for good after all of this is over.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAfFKY8nAsuO
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAt0qkmjadDf
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAdmfVxHXqw8
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA28K86WQW5U
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANADOHeCqdlSA
Raditz: “You're thinking too much about it. Stick around for longer, in time you'll find that all you seek is here with us.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAm3QicTd8h3
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAIp85bA5hmh
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQa1CNvLrIB
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZzvlRcW41
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAvZmveh7C0H
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAL1EX6dHoJl
Vegeta: “The Colonel has set the coordinates in our pods. The Tuffles also placed some new upgrades to these sweet rides, we'll get there in no time so be ready.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAyjoTXByWEc
They all nodded in approval to the prince before entering their pods. The ships took off at blinding speeds. Kakarot observed the vast, outer space in astonishment. The wonders of the countless worlds beyond his own planet never ceased to amaze him. Before long, the pods crashed into planet Tatsu. The squad left their vehicles to confront their next targets, but to their surprise, the landscape was deserted. Not even the slightest sound of a small gush of wind was audible.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAn0NfsZvbY
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAUJGVCYdrfh
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAf1TUI1s8ow
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANATm5zsAmjBH
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA47ZUnCDNVq
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAs4jU2u21Qv
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAJIQvBwOrGL
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.
253Please respect copyright.PENANApxpXfoZwIW
Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAPuMbWx6n9h
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAreEcnAEs9I
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYyDzJ0Tdht
The eyelids of the creatures twitched. Their joints cracked and snapped out of place before restoring themselves back into their original form. They all turned to each other.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVXQsFnxfj4
“Your foot is on my tail!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAO10JFJ1c6J
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjDwcxalpmR
The two creatures swung at each other. Their fight created a chain of events, causing more needless fights amongst each other, before long, they were all partaking in a huge brawl.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ug6vZ9dIa
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”

Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4kAqXFO1q5
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3HKlmfmNG
Vegeta: “This is your chance to feel the true thrill of battle. Join us, we're about to show these fools a real rumble! Let em have it, boys!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAbFun5qduU6
The mighty prince smashed into a group of the battling creatures, blowing them away with the sheer force of the impact. Nappa lifted his fingers, generating an explosion that took out another bunch. A free for all battle royale commenced. Kakarot hesitated, he watched his comrades partake in the fight, feeling a sense of guilt for their actions. Raditz approached his brother.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqd9dBpGRkU
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAiU3WDQEGtk
Kakarot: “Could Frieza even hope to interrogate these guys? What information could he even get from people as barbaric and dumb as them? We have no reason to kill them anymore.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA6Mkhk4Kyjf
Raditz: “They're lowlives that serve no purpose to us or even themselves. If we don't do it, they'll just kill each other regardless. Stop listening to those stupid ideals the earthlings instilled upon you. Your mind is telling you no, but what does your heart say?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAU9XxJUvgTR
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAKozVndTTCA
Raditz: “You're neglecting your own desires for something so meaningless. Go! Be saiyan! Show your pride! Us saiyans will conquer together, let them know that! I'll catch up with you later.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAEEXYuUvffV
Raditz rushed to the battlefield in hopes to get in on the fun. Kakarot observed his fellow saiyans, watching how they fought. The prince made light work of the toughest of creatures, mercilessly ending their lives with single and swift blows. A smile overtook his face with every victory. Kakarot clenched his fists, fighting his urge. The unsuspecting saiyan was caught by a sudden blow to his face. The punch sent him to the floor. He snapped into action and returned the attack, knocking his opponent into another Tatsu, stumbling them both over. They caught their balance and set their targets on Kakarot. Without hesitation, they rushed the novice saiyan simultaneously. Kakarot struggled to fend them off, taking blows left and right from both. One of the creatures punched his gut, staggering the saiyan. His arms fell loose. His blood began to pump again, faster than before. A rush of adrenaline took over his body. He used the opportunity to catch and hold the creature's arm down and countered him with a powerful headbutt. He followed it up with a ki blast that blew the creature into pieces. He dashed to the other enemy, striking the bottom of his jaw with the palm of his hand and used the opening punch a hole through his chest. He immediately set his sight on more nearby opponents as the options were seemingly endless. He jumped into a hoard of the violent species and fought every single one at once. He took multiple blows in the process but returned just as much. Guilt, regret, love, hate, anger, all sense of emotion had lost its meaning, all but one, the overwhelming sense of excitement. He took blows from different angles all at once, the damage didn't slow him down as he leapt into the air and shot a ki blast that created an explosion which blew away a chunk of the hoard. One of them jumped out from behind, preparing a devastating attack. His efforts were intercepted by Vegeta who chopped his arm off and kicked him away. Kakarot turned around, realizing the prince had just saved him from potential danger.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAkLSG4xhdbc
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANALkJ402Muvc
Kakarot smiled.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxImZX290q6
Kakarot: “Understood!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFL0uantkpI
The two leapt back into action, taking on the hoard, side by side. They fought together in a flawless sync, their fists complimented each other's style, fighting together as though they were one. The ground trembled once more, more violently than before. The Tatsu species halted their combat and began to flee.
253Please respect copyright.PENANArpRXXiXP5N
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOvEW0EUjhf
A similar looking dragon humanoid emerged from underneath. He was noticeably larger than the rest. Flames burned throughout his body. His presence alone disintegrated bystanders. Sympathy was a foreign concept to the beast as it had no trouble smashing through its own people as it approached the saiyans.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVzxGPZAhhA
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFtaciEdQiy
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA1WmTUfQG9r
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAv4rHBviH1G
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAN7Jl2aHgWZ
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVUcZqsPSwp
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAZK8kYi3JTT
Vegeta chuckled.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAZ58MY6MbYu
Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANASS8QnxHcAW
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANARMffq1Lx0C
Kakarot jumped into action, pouring down a flurry of various strikes. Modora blocked each attack, delivering a powerful backhand in return. He knocked blood out of the saiyan and shattered some of his armor. Modora grabbed the staggered warrior and smashed him to the ground. His grip remained firm as he continued to slam Kakarot against their surroundings a few more times. His scorching hot skin left its marks on the saiyan.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA3xydhkXjqe
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
253Please respect copyright.PENANAowKrPSiI3r
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOHnM9JzfQi
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqfbA4BxYgv
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAc86N0AzwFO
Modora tossed him into the air, he engulfed his fist in flames and slammed it into Kakarot. The powerful blow shot the saiyan through the sky and straight to the ground. He stood up, visibly injured. His breaths were heavy, but to everyone's surprise, his smile remained as strong as ever. He charged back into the battle with no doubts or regrets. He rushed the dragon beast once more, this time, sneaking in a precise jab to the beast's forehead. He continued the assault with a kick to his neck and ki blast to follow it up. Modora slid back a few feet. He was in disbelief with the sudden shift in power. Kakarot's body screamed in pain, but the mighty warrior could only hear the loud thumping of his heart, fueling the adrenaline that gave him life.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOP1uhip8Vh
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANArWOLJLZG6K
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAJJNkcRzj7Y
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
253Please respect copyright.PENANAngZP1DmhE3
Raditz: “What the hell? His power level is growing!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWqbBmP8LhD
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAsKm1cGyNVM
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAT0PgEpYhU3
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAchJDzhBrHM
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAdMBp7khrYd
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAHkiik4oHb3
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8HaAXviSCZ
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7O5PPDhEUP
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANASGBHMLmftX
Modora levitated towards the sky. He raised his palm into the air, where it engulfed itself within a ball of fire only slightly larger than his hand. Kakarot remained on foot. He raised his hands, aiming them at his enemy. They gradually developed a purple glow, sparks of overflowing energy emitted around the glow. He lowered his hands and clenched his fists before raising them in the same position again, letting out two purple beams of energy that circled around one another before merging into one larger beam.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAExo9I72n8l
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA9XRjf5mYcZ
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
253Please respect copyright.PENANASnHw1j00uV
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7zStO0loen
The attacks crashed together, Modora's flames were put out almost instantaneously. The mighty beast suffered heavy damage from the blast and collapsed to the ground, steaming from the heat of the blast. Kakarot's eager demeanor faded. Raditz approached his brother in both shock and concern.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8BtT7pdHwj
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8NrpIlCP34
He took a peek at his injuries.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4S5xiJMhtm
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAG7DbPSz5Yr
Kakarot: “I don't know what happened back there, but it was exhilarating! I never knew this is what it meant to be a saiyan.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAy05ABXthZE
Kakarot raised his arms in the air, he savored his victory for winning had never felt so rewarding. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAsE6ZqwX76j
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAWCyWRDVM0
Vegeta: “I think you've made us all proud today, boy.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxUldzw82o4
Kakarot accepted his superior's compliment with a smile.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA6j9W7aHJt1
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
253Please respect copyright.PENANAA2tUi819BB
Raditz: “Kakarot! Look out!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAnsHrLWeJU6
Kakarot: “Huh?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAIUseWPHqye
Modora ascended from the ground with no warning, landing a clean slash with his claws on Kakarot's chest. Blood gushed out as Kakarot collapsed from the off guard attack.
253Please respect copyright.PENANABCXeQFkpvU
Raditz: “Why you!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFHXYAF5ZCk
In a mere instant, the angry warrior smited the weakened beast with a single blast, leaving nothing behind. He rushed to attend to his injured sibling. Raditz held him up.
253Please respect copyright.PENANApvrWcpQbD7
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAXTRc0un218
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.
253Please respect copyright.PENANADajA5wgxw0
Kakarot: “What… What h-happened?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA1blucXid5t
Vegeta: “Save your breath, boy. Get him to the ship, if we make it back in time, he'll be able to make a full recovery.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAwwAIGM1wPX
Raditz: ‘Right!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA26UDS6pscf
Raditz carefully lifted his brother and took him aboard.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAc0jaJhX2aP
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAx5ba5cGVRi
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8gu4cW0egu
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA9UkdaStxwO
“This doesn't make sense, he could have easily taken a full power blow from that thing head on. Why did a simple attack like that nearly do him in? Hmm..I'll have to look further into this later.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAmsWx9vz4KL
The ship took off, heading straight back to planet Plant. Kakarot was immediately rushed into a room with medics as soon as the ship landed.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQxmmMUD6mT
Doctor: “There's not much left to do here other than a few stitches and basic medication. Are you sure his injuries were as severe as you claimed?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQfYauvSaRP
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA9lgtKZYstP
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA60MFyHkmzd
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAUAs94nuTzC
Doctor: “I will sir.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAIAbkF5KBsp
Raditz left the room. Kakarot rested for about an hour before regaining full consciousness. He stretched out his arms. His joints felt relaxed and more flexible than ever. It was almost as though his injuries had never happened.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAvpuIT7bb3l
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA6mVNUaRElF
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA39ihv6M5jY
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAgzlMG5Dgyi
Kakarot: “I see. I don't feel anything though.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANASAgvUIaLJU
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlIC0CK67UN
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAIxo6LSi792
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMepT4b6zmT
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlBwQpPx1VA
Raditz: “Cool it down a little. This is going to be a long process, we can't just rush into another planet without knowing if there's anything of value.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAaZl1ovDi3b
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAm1EUX0ipGG
Raditz: “I've had that idea too, Frieza would never suspect we'd be hiding out in such a low value planet. To most, your world is useless, but to us, it has all the resources we need and more! But why the sudden change of heart?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAdqsMxqLzZ
Kakarot: “If I'm being honest, it's not really about the saiyan empire for me. When this is all over, I'll head back and leave this behind. But if I bring it back home with me, bring you guys home with me, the thrill won't have to end with the war against Frieza. I don't want to leave you guys, but I don't want to leave my family either.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAPmAPVWzfMs
Raditz: “If all goes well then you might just get what you're asking for. I still don't understand this obsession you have with your wife and boy though.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjkArrJ6grj
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAzTHjC9ETrD
Raditz: “Of course not! Saiyans are born for so much more than that, we only mate to breed more warriors. I couldn't care less what happens after that.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0YpBS16c4M
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAyNAvcpLgNG
Raditz: “Yeah, you sure do.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA6wTBXNYox1
The brothers shared a laugh together.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVEIY5L1TWW
Beet: “Sir!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYqwThAXs5s
The boy eagerly rushed to his father and greeted him with a firm handshake. Kakarot smiled and patted his head.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQwpGapUtYg
Bulma: “You came back sooner than I expected.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAmAZYtJhXtZ
Kakarot: “I couldn't stay away for too long, so after some consideration, my brother and I convinced the others to migrate to earth. That way we don't have to be apart throughout the process.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANArSlqQyMbg1
Bulma: “Wait, what? You brought them here? Are you crazy?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0VrQpoCq8u
Kakarot: “They're great people, I promise! I trust them with my life.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqDCA26krMx
Bulma: “This isn't just about you anymore! I want to be able to trust them with mine and Beet's lives too!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA1voGIchqTW
Bulma looked over at her son and gently patted his shoulder.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAm8sPgOQWsK
Bulma: “Go play outside okay? Let me and your father talk.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAsOpgIK8Er7
Beet: “Yes mom!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAJI1fLOcudx
The little boy made his way out, trying not to acknowledge the tension in the room.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWdA60F5GOj
Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAXt03TVu60z
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?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjAqi2qVnh0
Kakarot: “When we win.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANABYkdcrzPJT
Bulma: “And what considers us the winners? What happens when survivors of their conquests come looking for revenge?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAwTkxjeZShq
Kakarot: “I’ll stop them.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAGfLL4CDUkj
Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxWVgKj5vtx
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMmR9TL3cYH
Bulma: “It is when that desire puts us all at risk!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7YbVowlYlz
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYqa95vUhDc
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4XaniQNB6S
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAyaafYVPf0m
Kakarot: “Beet!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqVBg3AWBFg
Beet: “Yes, sir?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAo1vyZlxqXV
Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANARHPPCfYGgT
The boy struggled to contain his excitement and followed his father. Kakarot picked him up and swooped into the air, flying to meet up with the other saiyans. They flew past some damaged cities with frightened citizens running around.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAaSswNWN4VD
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAIRfsAxb60l
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAeIHebQKBgM
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAmuJMTevW8N
Kakarot: “They'll be fine. Humans tend to fear what they don't understand. Our family won't cause any harm, they're here to help this torn planet. You'll understand when you're older.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlOhDn3EioX
The boy simply nodded and watched, incapable of shaking the uneasy feeling from the sight. Kakarot descended near a large space ship, surrounded by soldiers. Beet held on tightly to his father as they walked past the intimidating army. They reached the entrance to the ship.
253Please respect copyright.PENANABdc2f5fnqC
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA295urLD1vI
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.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAzLC4elFSGw
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAHiS9VolXGo
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0vmZqJ6xXc
Beet: “I'm Beet! I've heard a lot about you guys, you're all so awesome in person!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANASjMMrwpWIk
Nappa: “I like this little one!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAcG4FpLsdD
Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAbQug5l9jAG
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAwTsrDhIZcP
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANADrTa9mzbK5
Vegeta looked down at the cheerful boy.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA6G5iNvuiOO
Vegeta: “Raditz, I'll give you the honor to test the boy's strength yourself.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAwCA6dyWOru

253Please respect copyright.PENANAySVuXASAHQ
Vegeta: “I don't care, do it again.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAM72JleaHE1
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0T14BO8oNn
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWVauiVCxYc
Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAfK3Kyz0fXg
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAG12wElaUix

253Please respect copyright.PENANAACBXD2iy6P

253Please respect copyright.PENANAaf5JtZB7hH

253Please respect copyright.PENANAkm8RXCFViV
Raditz turned to his comrades.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOpNuJFEICu
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8djEFuUC1U
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAmfF8qc6WMq
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAHK4sbkhiAm
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
253Please respect copyright.PENANADx7MTOJnq5

253Please respect copyright.PENANAk5txqYuLAF
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
253Please respect copyright.PENANALFC1YzKt7y
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFdn5wxCzO6
Beet: “I will, Sir!”

Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA935fLbnDJS
Beet: “Okay!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAQ1b1KMUDE
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAHfsvC54gJ4
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAXs2GiVZMfJ
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAql4dJrSibg
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjdTZn7Ba5f
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7KKn8MoKqd
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.

Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAemvxW2PhU
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
253Please respect copyright.PENANAwEjZEdgHg1
Raditz’s scouter went haywire. A powerful wave of energy burst out of the young hybrid's mouth. Raditz's eyes widened before jumping out of the way at the last second. He slowly looked up, immediately noticing the damaged wall from the blast.
253Please respect copyright.PENANATl9I2suImN
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAEOJaolUtZc
He gradually lifted himself up, still shaky from what he had just witnessed. Beet fell to his knees, his body could no longer take the punishment.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWt00YOIaHC
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAXdPSvkHcFi
Beet: “O-Okay.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAyqqb5walM
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYJWSx9PVlx
Kakarot: “What happened?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0LfUUUCNmY
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8iOzbhLyii
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAsCtho9LpuW
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA5ATObdycuK
Kakarot: “Fine.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA9eyAPIQCK2
He stared at his brother for a mere moment before taking off with his son. Raditz made his way to Vegeta's personal room inside the ship. His thoughts ate away at him.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAz0GB5Iboiu
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAuLAUvkh0Lh
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAPQdGPrKgJ8
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOLgNokgqTU
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAtt0unkMDqE
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAzIP66XBrwY
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAK0XPbD0MG7
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAasSdENM50G
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA5eoLzVciTN
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAzGv387PUWQ
Vegeta: “The spot you seek is still open for anybody who proves their worth. With that being said, I have faith in you Raditz. I know better than to trust your word, but your actions speak louder, so swear your loyalty to me and I'll continue to keep you in mind as my ears and eyes.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFhtiMxBYn7
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANANoHxcZCT27
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8YbECAeAJi
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQNNq74hGJC
Vegeta: “On the contrary, it means he has both the potential of an earthling and a saiyan combined, and that's not even considering it's the boy of a low class like Kakarot.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAM49QbZQUbQ
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFX3sZHX4Og
Vegeta: “You're a sharp one, yes I did. If the rest found out they could breed warriors more powerful than myself, my role as the prince would be diminished. I'd be seen as a joke. I'll have to birth a son of my own to take my place before that. For now however, we won't have to worry about that, I've discouraged any desire to spawn new warriors. Frieza is our only priority. The only lingering issue is Kakarot's boy.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAg31PU8AdyK
Raditz: “You won't have to worry about him, sir, he can't use that strength at will. It will be a while before he learns to muster up that power on his own.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAI7MNzNqIxf
Vegeta: “I see, time is on our side for now, we can continue to focus on Frieza, until then, can't let the others know about the power hidden within the hybrid, I trust you'll make sure it stays that way.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7XHHNbH6Uq
Raditz: “Understood.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANASoVePYHmk6
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAXXCagU8yce
Raditz departed from the room.
253Please respect copyright.PENANACV7gyaRlN8
“Haaaa”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAHVvXfFVN5Z
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA9EOt2RXgPy
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAluS84DCRn6
Kakarot: “Right.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlW8XqaWnOu
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAA76wyr0wko
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAACFmVjJ3jN
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAs6tm6KSk9A
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAJcehAFc3yL
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4KFLrWIT6X
Time would fly as the saiyans battled their way through different civilizations, recruiting while simultaneously ending many. Their conquests would take a short pause in between.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMzMp4TLzOW
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAJFMwJXxWvm
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWdqLktVSGJ
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYn4BbekQhq
Bulma: “The man of the house is gone for months with no warning and he's the one who gets to be upset. You stop by less and less every time, I don't even know why you still bother to come at this point since you're probably going to leave again this same night!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAajxLneMIT8
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAejZJTTTI7z
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAX3p2SnUKTG
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVWo0IB1oJW
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAnJmqcbJJS6
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYPgCKJtRuK
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA24wNpNEWZt
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAzE9DNvD5mj
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
253Please respect copyright.PENANABCodBQO3LR
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlvzdg9XPEY
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
253Please respect copyright.PENANArd55Sos3sX
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAM0q8s1aG8A
Beet smiled and hugged his father. The sun couldn't have set sooner as Kakarot stood near the door, preparing to leave. Beet slept peacefully, unaware of his father's absence in the room.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAKVnb5W6x9y
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA1cSxULIaWu
Kakarot turned around.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYZGCJyRqtr
Bulma: “What happened to you? You're not the man I grew up with. Kakarot is a loving man that fought for peace. He was a man that protected and provided for his family, a loving husband and father. Whoever this us right now, I don't know you.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANANbpts6a49e
Kakarot: “I was everything you needed me to be because you gave me what no one else did, I never once stopped to consider who I wanted to be.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAcE9EBUqJ9D
Bulma: “I only wanted to make you happy and to make you feel safe like you did to me on the day we met! You saved me from the red ribbon army after they tried to kidnap me for my inventions, you remember, right?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAHTj79bb5Sa
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOyQt33OYqu
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAIpVSu1HjhJ
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAEbNHrMFPmd
Bulma: “You know what's the worst part of this all? Everytime you leave, there's this look on your face, this-this thrill! It's been making me start to think that you actually like what you do out there.. But my greatest fear, is that maybe, you always have.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAZmCld5F0QM
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAL9gadwl3Gh
He turned right back around and exited the place he once called his home, flying away into the distance. Bulma took a seat on the nearest chair and broke down into tears.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAyJOIWOJM5o
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0eyrpik1Ch
Vegeta: “Alright boys! The time has finally arrived! We've gathered enough troops and have raised our own battle power significantly throughout the process. I can comfortably say we have a shot at destroying Frieza once and for all! Colonel!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVc41sFQdjb
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAx6LuO3TSnS
Vegeta: “Prepare the troops and run the plans by them again. Oh, and don't try any sort of rebellion against us this late into the party. I guarantee you we'll be the least of your problems if Frieza gets a hold of you.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAR7gwJImA7x
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFJVdX81G2J
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA2LkqWov5Ja
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAmtLmOtpVzf
Raditz: “Getting too excited for this one might cost you. Don't take Frieza so lightly. Remember the plan little brother, we'll see each other on the other side once it's all over!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAPSgFNZItwB
Kakarot: “Right!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAwT3vDUwZv6
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAJcYtF5XlGe
Kakarot: “Yes?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAUHE0PGzA2k
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAf5VZSDjwmW
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAzCLcxUxzVi
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAbLAF9bPPoj
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAPx282xY7CJ
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAyFsFFTCZhn
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8qa30AtSUS
Vegeta: “Raditz, head to your separate pod and take your leave at once, we'll group up in the ship along with the others once the Colonel deems them ready.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANABoXIJdQHpK
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA3vstF011a2
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAPCLSvsgBD3
Raditz turned to his brother.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAeI9hDwcxaD
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWM93rQFh34
Raditz: “Right..”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAPZC1HOeuQK
Raditz took off with his pod.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOSU8YxQEZm
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAK93OdGFstb
“Let me take a look.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVkPL2Mzttc
Beep! Beep! Beep!
253Please respect copyright.PENANAu7jFdaMrO4
“Oh, it's just one of those putrid saiyans. No need to worry, I'll go greet him myself. I just hope his hideous looks don't rub off on my beauty.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOpEz3Fst8s
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxP5XgXxy8s
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANACdHFrthsjj
He bowed in respect.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxhCz6ptUYP
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVvet8pDFRS
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAsusinjjh5s
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANASnwe1Jc6Kd
Raditz: “I understand, however, I must clarify that these are urgent matters for we've gathered a lot of profitable planets and slaves for him. We have tons of eager customers awaiting his approval. Please, inform the lord as soon as possible! You wouldn't want to make him upset by letting such a big opportunity slip by him.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAszJEdrw3KF
Zarbon: “Hmph. I'll inform him at once. My only conditions are that you stay by my side at all times, I cannot risk you pulling anything sneaky, I know better than to trust YOUR kind.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANABVKZpr8Xa4
Raditz: “As you wish.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAIOoQDQZTnB
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAsutkDCssup
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqGtc537cfb
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4XOtePZOOH
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQP8RIcpbr9
Vegeta: “Okay, I'll run it all back at once so we're on the same page. Raditz will lure Frieza back to his base with his proposition.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAo50iPS2xx2
Zarbon: “Take a seat over there. There's guards outside so don't even think of anything! I'll step out to let lord Frieza know about your request.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4BbdsaLc2E
Zarbon took his leave.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7UyBCqkTG4
Vegeta: “Once he's got sight of Frieza's ship entering the atmosphere, he'll launch an artificial moon into the sky. That will be our sign to make our move. With this distance, the scouters can't track us but we can't track them either, so Raditz needs to be the one to alert us.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAr70yDMQabv
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAa94upcJKum
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAbc23IrF7Ll
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7cgOGY3SIN
Raditz chuckled.
253Please respect copyright.PENANATMBxjKLqAv
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANALkmKYSre0M
Vegeta: “We'll use the artificial moon to transform into great apes and hit Frieza with everything we've got! A surprise attack to finish him for good! Frieza never leaves without at least one of his right hand men, if we take him out, we get one of them too. Less opposition for us.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAdPB9bxBRbz
253Please respect copyright.PENANAseDkspUd3s
Beep! Beep! Beep!
253Please respect copyright.PENANAKqm5pzQXWh
Raditz: “He's here…”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAPdqvsxdMQe
Vegeta: “Once we've wiped that ugly tyrant from this world, we'll send in the troops to help us destroy what's left. Frieza has too many loyal goons that would stand by him even after his demise. No one gets out of here alive!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAElBDCnhMvC
Raditz took his stand and shot his artificial moon into the sky, smashing through the roof in the process. The commotion alerted everyone within the site.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOrz07AP49z
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWuG7Jntaog
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAy3f27kqZDx
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAi2mUvSdrsY
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAt89UYQKbrv
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAbul1GC7zfb
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOmspvt2kYY
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANANWqhaj9HGl
The mighty trio shot forth their attack in union, obliterating Frieza's incoming ship, causing the remains to crash into the ground. They landed their ship and reverted to their base forms.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0cw4YK0TvC
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAt47em45cfp
Vegeta signaled for the others to follow his lead while the soldiers they had recruited went on to finish Frieza's army of henchmen. They approached Frieza's fallen ship. Vegeta lifted the remains.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA6On5qF00rX
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANACHj3GsbblC
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlff2u2Ohna
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFB5XVC32D0
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0jl5Q62EK1
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAck4ADBirqg
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAkzc6Z05f4q
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA6Xfqs99Cxn
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA3eQQeyzo3O
Raditz: “Damn it!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAfbZo00No6b
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAewJrxOzbii
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAp2zayk97GC
Raditz shot a small blast at the ground, creating a wall of blinding smoke. He lunged himself forward at Dodoria, smashing him through the building.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAwRixrpC7sr
Frieza: “I can't say I'm not impressed, I never expected a simian like you to be able to plan such a calculated rebellion. It's a shame things have once again gone south for you saiyans.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA5YVqHVruGW
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxoOwQZ0XPt
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAk4XPgtmZjf
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAfdlSWt4Q33
Dodoria shot a blast of energy from his mouth. Raditz caught the beam and redirected it back to the sender. Dodoria was blasted away and crashed to the ground. Zarbon approached from behind, going for a surprise kick at Raditz. The saiyan warrior caught on just before the kick connected and blocked the attack. Zarbon was left wide open which Raditz took full advantage of.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAvwRU9jGDPY
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAKXDUmBkOcD
A ball of purple energy burst from Raditz's hand, crashing into Zarbon. The impact sent him flying away. He recovered as quickly as he could and reunited with Dodoria.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAibdOaSKrWv
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqFnoioeq9N
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAozZHgQtE3V
Beep! Beep! Beep!
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0sBPGTUdJp
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4TmzNeSzsL
Dodoria: “What is it?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQAzHntex4M
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlfUjZmTg5p
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA9vfuTh8u2g
Zarbon: “Perhaps Lord Frieza made the right move in eliminating their race, their ability to grow should not be overlooked. We have no choice! We have to fight together!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANACl0gBZgaqt
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAm8KOXqRXDy
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANABGdeEgBKSi
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFYw83HZveR
The pair went forward with their assault. Raining down a barrage of various blows at Raditz. The saiyan warrior fended off every blow, but the overwhelming flurry left no opening for retaliation. He jumped out of their reach but they immediately tracked him with a united ki blast. He blocked the blast, taking no damage from it. He took a surprise kick from behind his head by Zarbon and suffered an immediate follow up punch by Dodoria.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjO5CVVJ3Gf
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8PTNsyC2xd
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
253Please respect copyright.PENANANCGL60JMSB
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0CisFXuD5k
Raditz: “Keep talking you tub of lard, you'll be eating those words soon! Hehe.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAKrPx4B74iM
Dodoria: “Why you!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAbqvawUjTFa
Dodoria charged forward with Zarbon following only a few feet behind. Raditz broke a chunk from the hill and crushed it into dust with his hand. He smirked and threw the left over rubble from the rock into their eyes. The impact shattered their scouters and blinded them temporarily.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAILMzVnENHA
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAeGS9b58zPD
The saiyan warrior struck Dodoria with a knee to his head. He followed up his kick with a blast that completely blew off his head, killing Jim immediately. Zarbon desperately rubbed his eyes, removing the irritation.
253Please respect copyright.PENANALPaspPhkeA
Zarbon: “Damn it! It's really come to this hasn't it? Take a good look saiyan, this is the last thing you'll ever see!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA73WWc27c66
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAiWyqb6nSV3
Zarbon: “Die!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANANg9Zq7Y5f3
Vegeta: “Both of you, stand back. Frieza is mine to kill.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7hldjGHm3H
Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAS4k69SE1t6
Vegeta: “Don't worry about me. I'm fairly confident I can take him now.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAGMe1m0xKpR
Kakarot: “We're counting on you.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAvR2kIeSdC5
Vegeta nodded before slowly making his way towards Frieza.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVCwUYzrGfN
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAG84Qqj9u31
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAU70OnQcUTf
Vegeta charged his energy, the entire planet shook in fear of his power. The ground trembled and mountains split. Without further hesitation, Vegeta darted to Frieza, rushing him with various attacks. The tyrant struggled to fend off the attacks, coming to the realization that the prince's gloating was more than just talk.

Frieza: “Haaa!!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAHnCOGVGUYT
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1tq9Jx5gp
Frieza: “I don't need any more of your little demonstration. I'm aware now that if I commit to this fight I could come out on top perhaps, but the other monkeys would likely intervene and ruin it for me. There's no purpose in entertaining this any longer.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANALtBh6FnlXD
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAmtNLmSbG0s
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANADm53v5fOSh
Vegeta: “Huh?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAoTbErduiIl
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxrutW4cAUC
Nappa: “I'm not sure! He's bluffing! There's no way he has another form!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAakADcmaiMN
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVKiSLTRIWF
Zarbon crashed his arm into Raditz. He pounded the struggling warrior, knocking blood out of him with each blow. Raditz retaliated with a kick to his face. He leaped into the air and scattered a barrage of ki blasts at his monstrous opponent. Zarbon quickly recovered from the attacks and charged forward, headbutting Raditz in his face. Raditz returned the attack with a headbutt of his own. Their fighting took a short pause.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWsW332Ykjt
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANATC1lfhp8Rg
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAeFdmkN1WGt
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqzyd5mXMer
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAx1dFSIYNvq
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA6rwnMP3q3d
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAdopUTdNEwv
Zarbon darted past Raditz, catching him from behind. He squeezed him tight, gradually crushing his bones.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7gNG78aSQJ
Raditz: “Gyyaaaahh!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWUZGvjaKiq
He yelled in pain, powerless to Zarbon's grip.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFe6E48NqNw
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANANw3ayze0bP
The tyrant’s body went through a terrifying metamorphosis. His limbs enlarged at different rates and proportions. His power level burst through the roof, the saiyans began to lose their composure as fear took over their consciousness. Frieza ended his transformation, revealing his true strength.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAvdfI9a2XAi
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANASaHFVL5tTy
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0otqsMEx0z
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAT6uiOJ0sgN
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAPSdg9et6Qb
Vegeta: “You don't understand, fool, there's nothing we can do anymore..”
253Please respect copyright.PENANArCLG2igCI4
Kakarot: “Nonsense! We have to find a way!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ08TFoSkg
Zarbon continued to torture the saiyan. His grip only tightened as Raditz grew more powerless to his might.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAPTlJUkNhtg
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVkSfyg83lf
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAXySKtxRM2W
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMVRLfb2nbS
His body grew as he morphed into the beast known as the Oozaru. Zarbon watched in fear as his opponent grew to a massive size. Raditz stomped on him, killing him immediately. He spotted his allies, noticing their struggle.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAknNCqA1SE9
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAbPCltlihoi
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAs43YSOEwXr
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFffqlgOUvc
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAHlcnVBDOxq
Without further hesitation, the others hit Frieza with an all out blast of their own, caught in between two powerful attacks, the mighty emperor suffered a devastating blow. The smoke cleared and Frieza collapsed to his knees.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAC5fJs0VGOc
Frieza: “Y-You-”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAB5jvVEPx5S
Vegeta: “Haha! The mighty Frieza has fallen to his feet at the hands of the saiyan race!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxnX6UNtDoN
Nappa: “Poor bastard can barely even stand!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAJ953rPkWZX
Vegeta: “Give it up, Frieza!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA2A1NYKETc8
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7s33z0zYkJ
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAn3rtWFfLR7
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAbSti0VdE5M
Kakarot: “Not again!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAL3RZoqjP9x
Frieza lifted his hand, creating an explosion around them. The force knocked them all away, providing enough distance for him to safely transform. He went through another change, taking on his true form. All of his prior injuries healed.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAiM7M83q61x
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANACHZMwLEeYR
Frieza lifted his finger, destroying the artificial moon created by Raditz.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAnck8W9AgsF
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAvX5yg8kT2t
Faster than any of them could track, Frieza shot a swift and small beam from his finger. Kakarot watched helplessly as the beam headed straight to Vegeta.
253Please respect copyright.PENANApdTaecs0yQ
Kakarot: “Look out!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAmUwFfq98YU
He reached his arm out, desperately trying to get a hold of the prince and move him away. His efforts were pointless as the beam approached faster than he could close the distance. The laser hit, Nappa collapsed to the ground.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4Z0F9SNxdW
Raditz: “Nappa!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAoFRP51Uh6z
Vegeta: “Nappa!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAGjHanFZ94B
Nappa held on to what was left of his life, using his last ounces of strength to deliver his final words.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8PMHwLAYIS
Nappa: “D-Don't let this… go in vain, Vegeta… Destroy Frieza!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANALVAh6QSD99
Vegeta: “Why would you do that?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAan8J5wVZ5
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxmpisnCrL1
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
253Please respect copyright.PENANACA7Xjz905E
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!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAoRIT3QuCII
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAnAzt1K9B2q
Kakarot: “On the contrary! We're more determined to kill you than ever!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWWgFdkckub
Frieza: “I don't recognize this one, but he sure has quite the loud mouth on him.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlxUNcaHt7M
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAeQJVvLeB43
Kakarot commenced the battle by charging headfirst at the cynical tyrant. He lunged forward with a ferocious punch. Frieza dodged the attack with minimal effort. Raditz and Vegeta soon followed along, rushing Frieza with a flurry of attacks of their own. Frieza fended off the attacks with ease, demonstrating his sheer dominance. Kakarot continued his assault. The three attacked together in union. Explosions and bloodshed filled their surroundings as the soldiers from both sides continued their brutal war. Frieza raised his hand, he blew the opposing saiyans away with a wave of force. They retaliated with a ki blast shot in union. Frieza leaped into the air, evading all three at once. Kakarot rushed at him, swinging multiple fierce blows. Frieza dodged them all, returning a kick to his ribs. He spit out blood. The blow left him stunned from the pain. Frieza elbowed his cheek, sending him crashing to the ground. Kakarot shut his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth as he groaned in pain. He felt his broken body struggle to stand, and yet, against all odds, he stood. Vegeta dove straight in with a kick. Frieza caught his leg with his tail. He smirked as he watched the powerless saiyan attempt to free himself from his grasp.
253Please respect copyright.PENANApE6mi7ZOhz
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAfmQ3VNF0qB
Vegeta shot a ki blast to the tyrant's face. Frieza flicked the blast away with minimal effort. He delivered a heavy punch to Vegeta's liver. He spit blood and gasped for air. Frieza tossed him into a building and followed it up with an explosion set off by his eyes.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA3SysyC9ioP
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAmBhH0VoBFR
Raditz unleashed his most devastating move. Frieza stopped it and dispersed the attack with a single hand. He flicked his hand towards himself, pulling Raditz closer with telekinesis.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQlqbL8DDB2
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAZQrmvYgrvv
Frieza kicked his jaw, knocking him into a building.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAwcZog3CKrJ
Frieza: “Such an anticlimactic end it seems.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANARzjaahi319
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAzrncwt1eYJ
Frieza: “You again!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA6IxlpIrmUr
Kakarot's face dripped in blood, his gaze was tense and focused on Frieza and nothing else. His fury overtook his consciousness, there was no room in his mind for words, only action. He viciously swung at Frieza, his blows ripped through the air. Frieza blocked a punch.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlUdkHs3tV3
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAatYjgLrkNj
He yanked his arm and kicked the back of his head, following the attack with a whip from his tail. Kakarot crashed into a nearby building. He burst out from the rubble, charging at Frieza yet again.
253Please respect copyright.PENANArXJecjG84K
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAik518hcRiX
Kakarot landed a knee to Frieza's gut. He balled up his hands together and slammed them into Frieza's back. Frieza fell straight down but caught his balance before crashing against the ground.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA8yb5eaCT0R
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA2QqHqe3v4Y
He lifted his arms, large chunks of rubble went flying towards the saiyan. He smashed through them with his bare fists. Frieza used the distraction to land a mean headbutt to his face. He kneed his gut and punched his jaw. Kakarot was powerless against the tyrant’s onslaught. He took every blow head on. Frieza kicked him into a nearby hill, smashing it into pieces. He flew after the airborne saiyan, juggling him through the air with multiple blows. He delivered another punch to his face, knocking more blood out. Kakarot gradually turned his head back, pushing through Frieza's fist. He grabbed his arm and twisted it. Frieza yelped before getting punched in the mouth. Kakarot grabbed him from his face and zoomed to the nearest building, slamming Frieza's head into it. Frieza kicked him away, creating some distance.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAfeoj3Vb2Oz
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAcOblviT0QU
Kakarot's pupils were bright gold, his power shot up as his hair grew. His might shook every nearest planet. Raditz looked up from where he laid.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAsR7djwtoCd
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMxPLTkV5Zv
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAh35oV3fFy4
Kakarot breached the distance between him and Frieza, landing and uppercut to his jaw. He followed it with a hook to his cheek and a knee to his chin. Frieza blasted him away. He sent forth and endless barrage of blasts, each exploded upon colliding. Kakarot began to force his way through the blasts. Fighting through the pain. He reached Frieza who immediately backed away upon seeing him appear through the attacks.
253Please respect copyright.PENANALih7VRQGf3
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAiEHdTSHQze
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4OVpT38KFy
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjpA4VR4dFq
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
253Please respect copyright.PENANASiLkfvAemk
Vegeta: “N-No. The super saiyan legend, he's supposed to be a golden warrior. This is different. It's hard to believe, but the one who stands before us is no longer Kakarot. Somehow he's managed to channel the power of the Oozaru without going through the transformation. Kakarot's been overtaken by his own strength, right now, there is no friend or foe, only combat.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAa9HyrmJ02d
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAS2ybPbdYkR
Vegeta: “I'm not entirely sure, but I've seen it before, a saiyan gets overtaken by their own power and leaves us with no choice but to be put down. I… I don't think we can stop Kakarot's rampage.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANArSt7SN2anW
The two clashed back and forth. Trading blows. With each blow Kakarot grew more powerful and terrifying. His body shut out the pain of his injuries, focusing all of its energy and adrenaline on the fight. He rushed Frieza with a punch to his gut, slamming him into a mountain, smashing it upon crashing. Frieza froze him in place in a sphere of energy and kicked it away like a ball. He repeatedly kicked it around before spiking it to the ground. Kakarot rose from the ground. His armor was shattered and his body was battered. He put his arms out and shouted. His power spiked as the planet trembled. He clenched his fists and opened his mouth. A ball of energy formed in his mouth. Frieza raised his finger.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAEHLKtzFkcv
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0QQaN1bAb2
A massive sphere of energy released from Frieza's finger. He tossed it downwards towards Kakarot. Kakarot fired a blast from his mouth. The attacks clashed, each pushed back against the other. The force of their struggle shook planets and stars. Frieza's supernova was claiming the edge, gradually forcing its way to its target. Raditz leaped into action, launching a special attack of his own to push back against the world ending wrecking ball. Vegeta soon followed.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAEcMc10SqLx
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAhAR5b1M7Zm
The prince unleashed his ultimate attack to support his allies. The three gave their all against the tyrant’s most fearsome attack yet. The planet crumbled, cracks formed on the ground. Soldiers were crushed by rubble or consumed by the planet's scars. Frieza's body bulked up.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAf8Mvnwr2EA
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAca7c94UG7k
Raditz: “D-Damn! We're losing the struggle!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ2cTAbnWO
253Please respect copyright.PENANAtLYHbphuZm
Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
253Please respect copyright.PENANANcaFqdXAQm
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANARp88suM6yM
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjBKTU4es3D
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYPrc5sE8tK
“Haaaaaa!!!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANActTE0bwMQ3
The trio used the distraction to find an opening in Frieza's attack, piercing through it and hitting the tyrant head on with their combined power. The destructive force of their beam sent Frieza crashing down.
253Please respect copyright.PENANApUdaLHCOma
Raditz: “We actually did it…”
253Please respect copyright.PENANASbYbIwKxYf
Vegeta: “Raditz! Look out!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjtGsSIECzT
Raditz: “Huh?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANADmlwkipAUf
Before he could react, Raditz was struck by a mighty backhand from Kakarot.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOjDilvdxrE
Kakarot: “Rrrraaaahhhh!!!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA97jfdfzRrp
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAGrZg9NCKsa
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAXDJE9B921E
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAV7SIt7JlwU
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAeHHnKKFNpP
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAKhAoELcNNA
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2S1v7YqkY
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAddZhVRL3Xp
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!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANALhZsKQQkHi
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMqebI4bftY
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAznZtPMRyTl
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
253Please respect copyright.PENANADARifMjkIb
Kakarot: “B-Brother… I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVKem1hg4T2
Raditz: “Oh shut up… I'm fine.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANADC5yMskzG5
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAzJ0UJSDjG
Frieza used the last of his strength to shoot one last attack at Kakarot while his back was turned. Kakarot felt a new sensation, a 6th sense that allowed him to feel the attack heading towards him. He turned around and punched the attack away. He approached Frieza at blinding speeds. He stood in front of him for a moment, looking down at him.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVcIONCGUYQ
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOT2wFlnwMU
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA393RrDDmoW
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAZw02PxkbwM
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAfdBFGAkC1F
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
253Please respect copyright.PENANACkOQdfCjqS
Kakarot: “It's done…”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4fdEJdNd0U
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAvlJkyvHObN
Vegeta ascended into the air.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4uoCwnMG8r
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAi5P7v8ATtW
Their military began to retreat back to the ship. Frieza's men fell to their knees, some begged for their lives, others preferred to perish than betray their lord. Everyone regrouped in the ship. The ship took off into space, leaving not too far away from the atmosphere of the planet.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqtDE6DVXHT
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA6XIlMyXlDH
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAoL7cWq10Vr
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAnH6TEnowzE
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAmh5cvqrCfV
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAGM5430ieCZ
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAKY7PULlGY6
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAKhpcfKVGk6
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAfq9GKgttlh
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAzX7PHjbsRe
The Colonel smirked after securing his success and retreated to another room. Vegeta on the other hand, couldn't find it in himself to crack as much as a smile. Kakarot took a seat.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAz8xfyQ0pg0
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAtQezvj05lP
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAj7SfVIOPh9
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANARJIN8ZAT69
Vegeta glared at Kakarot. His gaze was locked in on him for the entire ride back home. The ship landed on earth. After all the action, everyone was fatigued and mentally drained. They took the rest of the day off to rest. The next day couldn't have come any sooner. Raditz reported to the “Battle Station,” as per Vegeta's request earlier.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA5xxGzpv4fm
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAG3taFoXQGm
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAZM7hUFkdKB
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAmarBgtTl7F
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAyK460oTYrW
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANACwHHtarKTE
Vegeta: “With Nappa gone, his position has been left open. I'm providing you an opportunity to seal the deal for good and sit by me as a conqueror.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAsxc0dHDrM
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAY3hLQXBL0u
Vegeta: “I can read you like a book, Raditz, you're a notorious schemer. With Kakarot rising in the hierarchy, you've gained the perfect opportunity to seize the throne from me by his side and let your bloodline rule for centuries to come. But I'm telling you know, it's a plan doomed to fail.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAUvp5YaxSVn
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAtXtLyCWSeu
Vegeta: “Even now you play your cards to end up on the winning side. Kakarot isn't a leader like me, he couldn't even bare the responsibility of ruling his own planet after having conquered it. On top of his uncontrollable power, he's unstable and ultimately unfit to rule. Your empire would fall apart and eventually all that power would mean nothing. If you want to win, you stick with me.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANApm7mQJcdkk
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.

Vegeta: “I know your real problem, Raditz. This isn't about you choosing which side benefits you most, you've simply grown soft. His earthling nature has rubbed off on you, but both you and I know that this mentality is his greatest flaw. One that will cost him dearly one day, one that will cost YOU everything. You're a saiyan warrior, you know what the right choice here is.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAPuGXG6MoBi
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAdQDOzzcun2
Vegeta: “He has a soft spot for you, the same way you talked that fool into joining us is the same way you’ll convince him to leave for good. I can't afford having him show me up, it would permanently bruise my reputation. I need you to get rid of him one way or another. This is your final task to secure your spot next to me.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAdIKVm6zptW
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0Br4FTGTZu
253Please respect copyright.PENANA5xPyu0sEXt
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAzhfteKqDRq
Kakarot: “I've avenged our people, I should feel great and yet I feel more conflicted than ever. Everything was great and now I'm back to square one.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7c4lYCTWKq
He looked at his fist in shame.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOdcR4yEi6l
Kakarot: “That moment, it felt so strange. Losing myself in battle is a common occurrence, but in that moment, I feared nothing, not for my life or even the life of my comrades. I almost killed my own brother. I'm lying to myself, the truth…. The truth is I loved it… but it scared me.. Bulma… Beet, they're probably still waiting for me. I haven't seen them for a while.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMqAAGhFX0g
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4n8DM4g0Cz
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAi5gN1iewBd
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANALkeX9M2I6M
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAg2CsHjCsfe
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAVln1oe5hkM
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA5EQ2H1LlCl
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAcIcgm0cV2
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA0e1bK986Iv
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
253Please respect copyright.PENANABS9iWQpnVb
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5nKL232F0
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAPsMd35CbBH
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAhIcPts2Jxu
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
253Please respect copyright.PENANASjsEFzEBiN
Raditz: “One of Frieza's goons, Frieza had many connections… I guess they didn't waste time in tracking us. They damaged my scouter too, I couldn't get a hold of you sooner..”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAj3ZnNYWHr1
Kakarot rushed inside, disregarding his brother. He tossed aside the rubble that he once called his home. After some digging, he found Bulma and Beet, laying still on the ground, stained from their own blood.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA2QmhtnbOt8
Kakarot: “No…”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAa9J252vlKW
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjB103RQkqE
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQCKc1nDnhh
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAc0gagTXXWq
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAdUel4kVvYw
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA80cmSK353K
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxsoiWlWzVU
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAHOmxnSfMmw
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA4o4SjrMsd0
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA1dFrMiwIlv
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOChglHHuhz
Kakarot sensed an incoming attack but was too late to react. Raditz shot a blast through Kakarot's back from behind, piercing through his liver. Blood dripped from Kakarot's wound and mouth. He laid on the ground, struggling to move or speak.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAlhQiU4Ow5C
Raditz: “I really wish it didn't have to come to this, brother, but the prince is right, being around you made me soft, I had to let go of you if I truly wanted to succeed.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAunxTpyMdQB
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAuraHpkwQ2O
Raditz: “Back then when we destroyed the Tatsus, I learned something. Our power levels drop in moments of vulnerability, even the weakest of warriors can fatally wound the mightiest in such a scenario. To think your biggest weakness would be your heart in the end haha! Let my words sink in while you draw your last breaths.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ4CDB3b0S
Raditz flew away, leaving his brother to die. Kakarot helplessly looked at his deceased family, unable to speak or move properly. The rain left him colder than his body was already getting. He groaned in pain for a while before his groans gradually died out and his eyes fell shut.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFiTPhic4xO
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAOnMQkpHyyV
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAvFr3pu5sSb
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAysHyMvrTaW
Vegeta: “That's what I like to hear! I'm a man of my word, from here on out, you're my right hand man.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAHAsSjccJ44
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAAEMgMIA5oG
Raditz bowed down in respect.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA98VwftUjCh
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAQgH1UsRqzg
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
253Please respect copyright.PENANApbj42XVP9T
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAi8pCCIIEwU
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7OokgaYo5r
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA17WEkBvFTD
Vegeta: “Well, looks like we have a mess to clean up. In his condition, he won't last very long. Assist me, Raditz, let's make sure he stays down this time!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAetxwEG6ios
Raditz: “Right!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAaXgdjGjPSy
Kakarot: “I-I don't understand! What happened t-to the saiyan pride! We were friends working towards the same goal! What about N-Nappa!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAkmhyBoSDS0
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAN0XLpBsLNk
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqDwOgDeMcV
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAh48NmEHeux
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAsqreDirUkx
Tears ran down his face.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAfOseADgkgL
Kakarot: “I gave up everything to be a part of you all! B-But you're just like everyone else.. power, control, that's all that really matters to you huh? Saiyan pride is nothing but a load of bullshit! It was never about Frieza or the saiyans was it?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAB32cg3OIsO
Vegeta: “Of course not! The strong survive and the weak die. Those not willing to do anything to remain at the top and nothing less, are mere weaklings simply waiting to die!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAhd5ybhjrpW
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAsGd8Yrv3XN
He shot a blast at his fellow saiyans. They evaded his attack and rushed to attack him. Vegeta and Raditz attacked from left and right, overwhelming Kakarot with various combinations. He fended off the attacks but had no room to counter. Raditz kicked his injured liver, staggering Kakarot. Vegeta used the opening to land a straight right to his face. The saiyans kicked him away in union. Kakarot crashed through a wall from the building. They immediately continued their assault, following him outside, raining ki blasts on him like the rain that poured from the clouds. Kakarot struggled to free himself from the pressure, taking the blasts head on. He got a sudden burst of power and used it to hit Vegeta with an energy blast that knocked him away.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAxNlxUqaC6g
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAMjRKl9GyS7
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAsW34Wvhg3p
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA1xTPeROpPL
Raditz smirked.
253Please respect copyright.PENANA3FtOpBvIyh
Raditz: “I w-wont lie to you.. I really did care about yo-u.. Br-other. B-But that love made me weak. The w-weak don't survive.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAFFm8z143kd
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA9icpPsyn7O
Vegeta came in with a kick that knocked Kakarot off of Raditz. Kakarot got on his knees and rested his hands on the floor. Tears ran down his face. He laughed hysterically while simultaneously sobbing in a disturbing fashion.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAvCaici3bAm
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANArPrwv7R970
He pounded the ground.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAXixoPoquYd
Kakarot: “I should thank you, brother, you've opened my eyes! Both of you have! I spent too much time caring about meaningless, worthless things. I'm Kakarot, the greatest warrior that ever was and ever will be! I was only born for one thing and one thing only!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAwbRj3OHW9b
His hair grew in length and his pupils turned golden. His eyes developed a red, deep outline. He stood up, his demeanor was more relaxed from before and he had no trouble standing.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAcfCudWutaY
Kakarot: “To fight!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANA7N9mQstWmX
He dashed at them, striking them both at the same time. He grabbed Vegeta from his face and slammed him into the ground. He then turned around and elbowed Raditz in his eye, followed by a knee to his nose. Raditz held his nose in pain as it leaked blood. Kakarot punched a hole through Raditz's gut. He spit blood, holding onto his brother's arm.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAUe4XVncq72
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAICknGwPVbn
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
253Please respect copyright.PENANADcmSWUU2ft
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAfHxvdslnZl
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAwAczNuNb7F
The prince launched a fierce attack. Kakarot deflected it with his bare hands. He rushed to Vegeta, ramming into him with a headbutt. He kicked him away and shot a blast to follow up. Vegeta came crashing down, struggling to stand. Kakarot dropped his knee into his spine.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAyJkhuiUQ6f
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAjuK5FguZbs
Kakarot grabbed him from his hair and slammed his face on the ground repeatedly. The pain in his wounds diminished as his strength grew. He got off the prince and turned him around to face him.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAWU1ETRBwNO
Vegeta: “You don't… want to do this, Kakarot.. I didn't want to tell you… but we've discovered these magical orbs known as the dragon balls… I have one in my possession.. The plan was to use them to make me immortal, but we can restore your family instead, you won't be able to do this without me!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAYSyhSS62RV
Kakarot: “You still think this is about my family? Or even your betrayal? I've spent my entire life, devoting myself to other people. I spent my childhood wanting to be accepted and a portion of my early adulthood fighting a war to live a peaceful life with a woman. I dedicated the rest to a family and eventually to you guys. I thought this was all for me, but it was always for everyone but ME. But now, this isn't about the saiyans, this isn't about my family, or even about your betrayal, this is about me! There's nothing left to distract me from my real destiny and I've never felt more satisfied! So go to hell, Vegeta.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAa2FQZ5xjGj
Vegeta: “Wait!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAkQDWEINyxX
Kakarot finished Vegeta with a blast, leaving his corpse to rot. He looked up at the sky, showering in the rain. He smiled brighter than he ever had. The universe's greatest warrior had been born.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAUSb5ZSBZMJ
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAEWKdWEyyPM
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAhSzv4cCYNb
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
253Please respect copyright.PENANAG15HawrrDF
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
253Please respect copyright.PENANAqsVKW4JHg7
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”
253Please respect copyright.PENANARKzPkf9BeI
Shenron: “As you wish."
