Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA50MxQyq4jP
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtDfsiinhVU
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAa27sfRAJOf
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvMu40hc0BT
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYO62VYITug
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdagbGun2D5
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANATkWqomRqUv
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7NQtBoljpL
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuUFi36IoMM
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGy2qHKG8oB
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1fNr9rOhiy
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7DxLYrt86P
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArvLz6NhWtk
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAr3C3yqFhZu
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAhFZuthAOwG
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPbY1vNQIYk
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAABmGRs1aze
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQhcnMsv73R
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAt2vODMMS42
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAg8R5gTcNoL
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAg3EYRVie1c
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAu7ITpVk1Wg
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA84RlhOlNij
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZgckirUcc
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqC5hmvKeqg
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAKTA3iCOtFt
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABjocRzR7WB
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPJHI3pQVtd
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7I7USMcg6F
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8WQthQPyaN
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzA1Be7SXGn
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
825Please respect copyright.PENANArzV3pEgg0P
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8R0vfriDua
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
825Please respect copyright.PENANABh3q0Di07T
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlphB2hO62d
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjwCfb1TjOs
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANASNVfeocxug
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAe21dtkykoK
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0Qr1Q1kdJz
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA401RRwO6t4
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXcQWKd7mdk
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYhFYf0uG2x
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANALE5zwb9IkJ
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAM7pGBaXOz2
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzLXhd2wfsg
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgi9VlLerVA
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9nsekUrsou
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOsCmJtc2XW
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApvgM7MtGKJ
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADv1zZmdt5M
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAW0V5vKSa2z
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1M5FDnL0Og
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmBi2JjOBOQ
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAS0EuhXQgJH
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAiC416g52gT
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwHJIySS1Gh
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOcxPPLNG7o
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmZos2hvKTj
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaLaqn0jlX6
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmr6jXMo1KQ
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtkiVFTFB0Q
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsdYH838ai2
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWGj4KwOqet
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIYuJoV7Ope
Beet: “Haaa!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAiamEAA5SNb
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8TmJAeN5Uk
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABsULFB03Gv
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8N6noNkkhg
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACCOZ8TNWj1
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA96QO11FgzJ
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4vmbd9Aknq
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-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5y1OMe0LzT
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAl2XvDjeU28
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5XfKTO48MG
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHjiMgSN9AW
Kakarot: “Enough”!
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4hidda4zBC
Beet: “Huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8GcXgBjDZU
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAROnUZooJt1
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdkACOLPCKM
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAbcD5EKx807
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfu1uAFZqd4
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdag3hBGq3C
Beet: “Right!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUcFKRDsj6s
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAugtemPHIn9
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0BlbixrDr8
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXjCpxyZrEZ
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIJygHL6Tkp
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWTQHyiuAab
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEvdLyK6ihZ
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAN2EvzD3pdg
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQHPEqIryn9
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOZZ46MgBIi
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEMQGcAmnUR
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ9ypVNIV2
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsXl68dPT4G
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANALfqy20JXJ3
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVHZyjVuuxu
Bulma: “I love you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA12g3ygbptk
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAy4wkbBAGAX
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA77qP3LAQz3
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJmLG5Vu5j6
“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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANALEQEbUSUaV
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJff7As0HcF
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdbCUYTSHtk
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAU9iPPRTIt4
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWHZsa8xWtB
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACDtrgcYkFX
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaoWMXIccTt
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAY5a87zuwgk
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqHWFXbcVix
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcADQTdC3Qp
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFXQW86WWFm
Beep! Beep! Beep!
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJdM3PDdvg2
“It works just how the rumors said they would. With this technology, tracking frieza's movements will be a breeze.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9pdG0KP5VO
“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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdFOaqstgaf
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYJOydOxWjh
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9HOre0rV5h
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAV3z1vgKAN1
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4rNGPmJ1do
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA10XiEGnTeQ
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdMZtff6dgg
Bulma chuckled.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8zr7vs0BTW
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA48SwV3fvfZ
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAY1Q0fweXuV
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvbaBGbOSge
Beet: “Momm!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkeE55wzvZB
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZrpaaRBtVF
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXXanVjgHgh
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAB3wfzRAt3r
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPplx224zKQ
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1SehzM0G8y
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
825Please respect copyright.PENANALXGoSJlSPx
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARYNskLb9bH
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkDpXLgf4ie
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvtq2oCRIgw
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAccn7Hiva57
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqCokZER0gM
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUMs0FGBSO3
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFpyBffcwMA
Kakarot: “Enough!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHBsPHVvCOY
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAh4NV7bLnE9
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEDVo4FdEsT
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnQYMBaw2da
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoNj6CbVe1R
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA14xcwoeScn
Beet: “Sir!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnQwQV2UQBK
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUS6INuCqLP
Bulma: “Beet!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaVTfxu5lle
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACfEkytnIic
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAEPi9HT7CD
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATYUo3jwcGE
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANANkyzQYZca6
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnQ0NAbwdwu
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzbPFtz33fM
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfs6EcCTQ53
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcu6Qh74jWf
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcxRdwQSPrD
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWzWo87MH4W
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6C312sIUiC
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANys3MVD0r6
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACjIYcDXhVV
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGpb9A2D18t
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqmZUThvfSl
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3zhXG1BfNt
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvV220lWaBg
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0bqDaAkLdx
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5Lr0pwcCy7
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAr8mflosDjk
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdhwqmqxoTz
Raditz: “You have my word.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMIv1lBIuqo
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
825Please respect copyright.PENANARN1OV9c6E9
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzCEQsI2ikZ
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2R4MKc5Wba
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAInZgcpsd96
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfMX1MCDyvo
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtcIUEublHn
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIylsjg6kpT
Raditz chuckled.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkFH4lxscWG
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADtybaxDoO9
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4hWUOBVBfO
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANdJcE1c8p9
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApNaEfqVpGY
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9LKLxiDlme
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzzbvDoeF58
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlqBLafQE0X
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAj0o4nhE0o5
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlT0FEKtcbh
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAizKPrVG4sm
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApBcrOfv1MB
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATzWeMjF1P6
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAb4OODS3DpJ
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzzHqdPRo5R
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJYe0sLksPN
Raditz took a deep breath.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4datSgn23A
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAu9bbI7YsIM
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA54W4tnWggY
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAb3XFTNGWxa
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAon21w3q4p
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xq4Gr3x0k
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqT6n8liZTE
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACqdbRLH6pa
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9UGitE0lwc
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2WYrHRR8Vf
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAa0oi8wMW2Y
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1ywm3RhPOP
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmWLraKQca1
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAR53yUf68Jy
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAh6XqRJ1k1e
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABqpUTNeODm
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7bWh0Gf19l
Kakarot: “The prince?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAKVG7rFZyus
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsqcrzDaJR4
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAr1iHAwEWup
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAW01qqOAn4m
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5oTmhPdYso
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuPJiXNtfOu
Kakarot: “….”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZhuZq5S3w
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZoi6NgxK97
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAC5UdGHpAxK
Bulma hesitated to reply.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGrMHiSH3kh
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAP01jPtBbuV
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAThhiXCZ2yT
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
825Please respect copyright.PENANANjHcTlctfT
Beet: “Sir!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA05lVYA6ODe
He came face to face with his father.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJw0l9N2ZkR
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYhlgX8dsxn
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
825Please respect copyright.PENANASAQIbfSCNv
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfxjRwjiUgd
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzUkT9KWMiR
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
825Please respect copyright.PENANARSs2dpypUE
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAM18ulqWSaa
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5r2fZj8bsR
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEwj6AiVRST
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEXrEqrYJFr
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAL0flbmdS5k
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANyp0GWpu7H
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAscZf21yoR9
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUFmtTBwB0M
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.’
825Please respect copyright.PENANACjY1fydJd8
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5aH8QKif3n
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwagwnxpAK0
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnNN7qVIJIQ
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqdi9Yvb5tH
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAflitqrs3Uc
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABj5ghAOxED
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
825Please respect copyright.PENANArRfCHXqrvY
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4AHR0KVoJs
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdoHsiijNHQ
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAhb7cxO9qLC
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0oLdH441cx
The prince hesitated.
825Please respect copyright.PENANARcc6PaQ9gv
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQhbEL5ixI8
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAv0oPW0FkRG
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoO3gIhBb9v
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfH8TYBzn0k
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAbjcmbPrLUA
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXtp47DBbb2
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHrt3vKe7Rk
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAKlmMl3RnvN
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzcQbvlonGd
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqTiyAlhCbD
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAenNZ7ygDjD
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAhAYXN7CGkZ
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvgYf7Ua0rw
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlX7sGCCKVt
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAhyvlySic0L
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANALl4MluIsJD
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUipolMvzGq
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIyJCRFKkSE
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAy8mWT8IgAK
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsRPaAhM1f6
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAx3Tqaq85Yh
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
825Please respect copyright.PENANADNVBPPftPy
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPOA2ESssYL
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARjRILzwxaJ
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAARTdmp7osI
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFe7i8vXxgp
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsJOvyJw9F1
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2J5IfYUSuE
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjoVdN6OGse
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAb5mk2eAMrS
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA80sE0ToAVC
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARl07hkdkmp
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnxKjBT4Du5
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4kXTSHoT2G
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuypyluRRU5
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxSyDsZV42F
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAITzf0i4C1P
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsbBpm8nhXu
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5nFqqtu3Oj
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAW7KkG8unyQ
825Please respect copyright.PENANAycicbklEaS
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAck9CpaFfgV
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZJJ9oDVcO3
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAS1tEZivHIu
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuxTmhRO8N3
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAyUnJTmcCfW
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0j5ekIswcv
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOD133ImZWw
Kakarot: “What was that?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQbL7Rt4UYF
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0kdeWUfLPa
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAV5d6OoGbzA
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7hekO3tE9f
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtawEORbFxE
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATSfojzoHYi
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUOiVNDx0Bt
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlPSmMQSJhD
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAP6iO1gb4lg
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwlSLlklCkl
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAG7z2shTrDR
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANASAQXiuMBI9
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEBINrk5ysK
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApTJaFh6PBx
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqE4sA8cQYW
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfjmD7xS5NO
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqK7aZ4dQ7z
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHsW3M1WFGy
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAr5CLc2Rqc9
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqrbNk3U8my
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7Fip7UreyK
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjAsoVIL6EX
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAyTdg6dIbaM
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAouHleGk2ai
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAb3cPa61dth
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUOkpnY8BZt
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAE1RGavUoXN
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcbl6uROirq
“Your foot is on my tail!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1jvi00J7iP
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJoR4r1fzWM
The two creatures swung at each other. Their fight created a chain of events, causing more needless fights amongst each other, before long, they were all partaking in a huge brawl.

Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnGIBeukYj9
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARTGwvukOhU
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArCxhPmNa1o
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAe8wbqS4tUD
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAn54WVAlRve
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXvyTmW3Znk
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXw4LFp9x7b
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABcoNrkWRLM
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4B7duiqFDp
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANALpGxHLOUFE
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANANKX53FNojJ
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAiueDvFB8N2
Kakarot smiled.
825Please respect copyright.PENANApPDO0O04nQ
Kakarot: “Understood!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHTzEWxU7pl
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAeglwgfiW1e
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4YJqOVhb9K
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFIRzMHiDZO
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7yj6BKHqp1
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVyTCVaTP75
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJUNmzYN6DM
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXErmhzXSHq
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVrXE2oON5G
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfYKiEDVHmF
Vegeta chuckled.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHVj0Z7NMAq
Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaX2jGYE6lQ
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACNEnqnUBX9
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvyz5RZ11ib
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
825Please respect copyright.PENANAurU0pjJppG
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAr5eXzH628G
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVzw7WyReLm
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzlJiSWp9xr
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAI2BQHEbtBB
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArx646lZGaQ
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAY1zARCMHGa
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
825Please respect copyright.PENANAA0LkkNmzHT
Raditz: “What the hell? His power level is growing!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3OhMaBVEGR
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA81TOPVFdQb
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5eRBdQjfmC
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA83O6YNRRFi
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAN4DpXvUKBu
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqqmEvYE6Xh
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdt3ENwl7SJ
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAL6LOG0fjNv
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJGdxo8rfoP
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAiQbI2FsbKb
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzXtOlgSVrA
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAV2exT52Emz
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARKgvw877pU
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAbU9iH7nX4Q
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAv8XJ7spvRo
He took a peek at his injuries.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjLMYLuFMFW
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2bGf0Xlg4O
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmAkoyUYUiF
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFTBXBlCT3b
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcwlpJfYWAN
Vegeta: “I think you've made us all proud today, boy.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOPOXqCw0bO
Kakarot accepted his superior's compliment with a smile.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfDA3SleMSz
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWEDZelgdhg
Raditz: “Kakarot! Look out!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUhDhWS3zUg
Kakarot: “Huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMrzSdfYloG
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWccMwOJKDR
Raditz: “Why you!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAP8GpFxqxAR
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOnzRA6fi3Y
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADaaB8FN0k7
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxhSx8dJiQ2
Kakarot: “What… What h-happened?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxqSK42lDQT
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAScEguKUf1v
Raditz: ‘Right!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGGjvEXMKct
Raditz carefully lifted his brother and took him aboard.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoz78XN4icG
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxK8VvsTEPL
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkd4RSKZsWB
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzvuGtd4Nz2
“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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6n81Ke3x4D
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAihKPEaIKGB
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAo1rH0XbB7S
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAyIVCrYyetW
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6rTuOA7IIF
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxD4loAwFqZ
Doctor: “I will sir.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAz7AcaDvzEY
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsolbaOj1dg
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9bR92POyMt
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlPd2ZTEUmr
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxqpI87QXV5
Kakarot: “I see. I don't feel anything though.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwKFTfzCEgf
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1J6MvIbDju
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMuTaVMmLIV
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAk7drBF9q3F
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApWZ49poGpc
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtaasEjID1h
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAeJlPra1eLs
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOwmt2627fc
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIilPggXeBm
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQu9l5z8RhM
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAw53U1uc1LY
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYKopuA1tcN
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUc2PanCcO7
Raditz: “Yeah, you sure do.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA85mxNLLYds
The brothers shared a laugh together.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAa0uaapJ5YZ
Beet: “Sir!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2uhOibDf40
The boy eagerly rushed to his father and greeted him with a firm handshake. Kakarot smiled and patted his head.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWhCCPTsZh7
Bulma: “You came back sooner than I expected.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATBy3Wi6Kqe
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvUSi7afBVE
Bulma: “Wait, what? You brought them here? Are you crazy?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAeuilj4xnPy
Kakarot: “They're great people, I promise! I trust them with my life.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAe47pZFfoNv
Bulma: “This isn't just about you anymore! I want to be able to trust them with mine and Beet's lives too!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANASNnabNdByB
Bulma looked over at her son and gently patted his shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3s4Aucq7i0
Bulma: “Go play outside okay? Let me and your father talk.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApSWO4CFGPS
Beet: “Yes mom!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWjWkTBRrNG
The little boy made his way out, trying not to acknowledge the tension in the room.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUY8dLbamN9
Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4OfT3ssmpF
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAyLp1ckpP6A
Kakarot: “When we win.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANASGdEJyLXwr
Bulma: “And what considers us the winners? What happens when survivors of their conquests come looking for revenge?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoOFitSIcMt
Kakarot: “I’ll stop them.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJ54JwKvTlI
Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3HnqslYo9Z
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVCP8w5tUG6
Bulma: “It is when that desire puts us all at risk!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjIfK5HSLFb
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAp5MrnZ6CXd
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXMNxvraogl
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7pJ8aMG7N1
Kakarot: “Beet!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAn2S1sLq1yL
Beet: “Yes, sir?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYzJ6WSuFVQ
Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIazMSs7xVY
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANANa9Kx8i5AN
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAshRGodpsb
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYW3i5ZLizE
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsrFDjy3P8H
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAd8CVzyePLK
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAK3bD31jgQg
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAiuy8AGIZxv
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjyXnfOJTlg
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPuw9bsIG2S
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAhqJcGpHzUI
Beet: “I'm Beet! I've heard a lot about you guys, you're all so awesome in person!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAbEB6JZyihH
Nappa: “I like this little one!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXkPmpAOZO0
Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1zoWF2FPw
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmDyDVxHupv
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQH1CJTVm9f
Vegeta looked down at the cheerful boy.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0V0Ac99sE8
Vegeta: “Raditz, I'll give you the honor to test the boy's strength yourself.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsyXbjXJtRb
Raditz: “I already got a feel of his power in an earlier encounter.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdhJn420ow1
Vegeta: “I don't care, do it again.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAu4Lq4FEgEH
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAx0tuFv6Cak
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIwsOdMq8KR
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfosxeZiyCZ
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEhKEiIvY0j
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gfa08kSP4
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANALqxsrdsiPz
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArJRRnfjuPK
Raditz: “I will..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATGYQk4AaKP
Raditz turned to his comrades.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAbzQ3symvCK
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWx1vMqig88
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFWU2qzyC4Y
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFW6iMw644B
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAj1TpkPYZVa
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0klPZyOefo
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
825Please respect copyright.PENANALll4GtMZUe
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuUd99wSiuK
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmuWRFnvi3M
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfO3pPgfbep
Beet: “Okay!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaBk4sHgcNA
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlnCzmNeKqA
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkP1lPj85bQ
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcZAXFJKkg6
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHmfgPnLp8b
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”

The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAluWSfW3j90
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGl0efR5MkZ
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAbjQ3YhJAQy
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8OzF9iNBiQ
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7R5jwZWGW
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4Eh9ANRQoC
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlPdoj8cu8l
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAbk4vJaXgMl
Beet: “O-Okay.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqFpqnpnWBC
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAD3eLUVemvK
Kakarot: “What happened?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAALa1VumlJx
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAr8eO025iTI
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA10klTJD4bC
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACa3NBX6Lfd
Kakarot: “Fine.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAS8R5DdGICl
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAofRphndLt4
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAl6G7shgp03
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmr3yxLRseY
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5pEsPh0pTx
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOrPJI2W2U0
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxDGmnVw6qx
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAeExPBancTf
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkEWdaDbg78
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARxUEUzdBZo
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfIbIrIe56l
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAScFGk6TlZ8
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnMvmnHobr6
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5ACZNhVrdH
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPCtOuhO40n
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYH4kdEll02
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAATNiSPJJeI
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADwGMpvA5CT
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9QPri3fJtv
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA42P3Z0DGab
Raditz: “Understood.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6sTVukBaO3
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVLqcGxESty
Raditz departed from the room.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAn5zQimdIXq
“Haaaa”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArwSs7XkEN7
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAys0L0JHt4W
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkXRWW9NEAi
Kakarot: “Right.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4BKisd82Ix
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlP0reeSzxV
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9RFtBO5c99
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQrHwlS5f3K
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANASPZwwYPuWH
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwesJmwvI9M
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfWHE9bUZyb
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAK9au1S4Hhm
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqxZEiJ4F1Z
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADi15cgQCoZ
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAK8N6UOJBpg
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ5dBiUYc9
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAb71sJuBTEV
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmRf1HVxe1n
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1QqS6UGgQO
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAd4oLsUJYna
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAyt3T9TMsom
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJNef7LgiGg
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9qGWwIZpa4
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4XNnjuT3hl
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzqQdxRxmW1
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACj5L3MKx57
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjYrcEzCGQf
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnk4wthplKv
Kakarot turned around.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2zOX7S5SIm
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvSRa55XOm3
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAt0WneUkGxh
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjGZDT6fk2v
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkcwPBGPwue
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADfPOKEMbvY
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
825Please respect copyright.PENANADluXQoHj9q
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAeOfTeoYNhO
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAiJU9BBqTah
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANACefrowPMJo
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOvjja69YVx
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAKTcjYHARVE
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAD4MJuDLoZy
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADRC4Mwgbhu
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPgYoXy27r0
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAH1DuXh6992
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXG22kQkunk
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA45LTZTUpWz
Kakarot: “Right!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUhsHkfyUCA
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAr5Vq38QxFu
Kakarot: “Yes?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQbZpoHaBVG
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmm5coObH0D
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADaymy8jQJH
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAh2gOzvCsIx
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEjdyF4AjYP
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAhVfvwSZFkb
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAm0FLv3ziZh
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdoeKbMl6cf
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAiZpwMEDDEu
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATkJuD3675e
Raditz turned to his brother.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxuykQKVXTh
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAq5beK5UtyO
Raditz: “Right..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3oc5QbxDD
Raditz took off with his pod.
825Please respect copyright.PENANANEURWx7fXL
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkhl9VorzBs
“Let me take a look.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgjRgCC4Bmp
Beep! Beep! Beep!
825Please respect copyright.PENANAX8qhfAAixI
“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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQOuoZrRpfP
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAW8IyOVhNH8
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgpb8L4FsbG
He bowed in respect.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoQpmFEXDH5
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvSGEc0NM9D
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnj4tKosmsV
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1HltZ72xGW
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgNMlsjrahx
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7WtaRV9oYa
Raditz: “As you wish.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxhPlIcaszL
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAR5DP3TcFGq
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqtNV9Mvs1J
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA46idEE7HTc
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2aEXV9i5k1
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANASkYMupG8zq
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA68ojIeI6lY
Zarbon took his leave.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUmwTKClWMr
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlnLTiwz79H
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVuBxWKLI5f
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8MWsBqpSno
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1F2mjjCwJH
Raditz chuckled.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6oc57vDSDm
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAND4Tomdkfm
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5DxutSDW5f
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlFZOoxgyGW
Beep! Beep! Beep!
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPwAeI9Eoly
Raditz: “He's here…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPDqw9jQwbh
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYBZgodGB9n
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZCQNlfAUm7
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAiljIDtWch3
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
825Please respect copyright.PENANASapRwVjkwy
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAO02Z5fvSPu
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAV44wSLxzUV
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAE3YCGHtJEC
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAj6rf4YgSoB
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAv0pOOAa2TB
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAggfQerjnJq
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARpR6qt3jMO
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVgdjeBqS1d
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0WHJlVlGYV
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAt29piCQJ59
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHGYudxFFkO
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVdy23nIPG8
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAupGPj3Ugjb
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUNxrhh1Txp
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMTJh45jY2I
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfLnuKvgrQV
Raditz: “Damn it!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMTExguaCuh
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9vWqnibeYB
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWQkPJgy5C1
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAA3dqt2ekRD
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAagIjxfIxJJ
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAt18NQZI0K7
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAeqDcGYdRoj
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABtswI9iG2n
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANApt7WcXdYSE
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgk5sx5k9hW
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzm09oLpIGI
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoVI1xgEntg
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2GBAbruJKT
Beep! Beep! Beep!
825Please respect copyright.PENANA35EprthNn1
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAu1Vunj6iIq
Dodoria: “What is it?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAntNFqPcMUO
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADnknASqfoQ
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAViwm9ktFl9
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuccOjqzy2M
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAS1GmU8s88E
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA59cJv0XpEa
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgZCEN4upqi
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANACOEOPrPX62
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOrIOGoljYv
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwwXs8hxUbP
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUBAgJ0mupv
Raditz: “Keep talking you tub of lard, you'll be eating those words soon! Hehe.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoezDkwFDBv
Dodoria: “Why you!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANALORGnTpHnk
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkkHdPwjYYa
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEO5E7A6eAZ
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9TVlZa2PJ8
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0hFrkDzG37
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXiZU3TxqOt
Zarbon: “Die!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAd1SdcbSnM9
Vegeta: “Both of you, stand back. Frieza is mine to kill.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFcm1fuljJ1
Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAhL9SVOlAE
Vegeta: “Don't worry about me. I'm fairly confident I can take him now.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAT5X0PuMwhg
Kakarot: “We're counting on you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArXM1Ime9KB
Vegeta nodded before slowly making his way towards Frieza.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAd8saqGVMyn
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApUD7ufVhAh
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAK7gaMgUVJP
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!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWGjqtaF4yh
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIz94FaTtSt
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtz1SFgErNw
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMAULmkMEth
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0SeyaBPt1O
Vegeta: “Huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYcSKM6BbWH
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4r3JBYcWMM
Nappa: “I'm not sure! He's bluffing! There's no way he has another form!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPygweTfwsc
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzHbMYphw69
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsABBhKE2v0
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAyr9hVGAFvC
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAit6GHNyPjJ
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAam7PRoZIBR
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABjGS5ECCnz
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQGwZbqceMx
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANqqWSa1Ibw
Zarbon darted past Raditz, catching him from behind. He squeezed him tight, gradually crushing his bones.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ29ly5lVW
Raditz: “Gyyaaaahh!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoJBB8tpXOM
He yelled in pain, powerless to Zarbon's grip.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0yBYk7QzQU
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApXZt7Vo7ds
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA43nplrvbZm
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAihYozcx0T
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAynB1w3TTPG
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACzvZcwEMPa
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAac9q6WPd4H
Vegeta: “You don't understand, fool, there's nothing we can do anymore..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsgGdr814zF
Kakarot: “Nonsense! We have to find a way!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2Z4xCH4YkH
Zarbon continued to torture the saiyan. His grip only tightened as Raditz grew more powerless to his might.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAO59ft8wJV
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXbu5hXcq2o
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAh5rHmRDDxb
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWzG5IY76Wt
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdbX2ZUsps7
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtcCSvnrCL3
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
825Please respect copyright.PENANASDU3nb8oVj
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJqBcMs3XGG
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAe1aaG7sm7N
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgAqBo5qmhg
Frieza: “Y-You-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMINBpPNdaO
Vegeta: “Haha! The mighty Frieza has fallen to his feet at the hands of the saiyan race!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIZDG4N2hlv
Nappa: “Poor bastard can barely even stand!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3OKdToshI0
Vegeta: “Give it up, Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXatNzYVSGX
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfSs7sT8OdN
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdvy91vhKWx
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAbSth8vWSDG
Kakarot: “Not again!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAsQ3MVdD7m
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcvCZSzleyg
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsjoLV9kz8r
Frieza lifted his finger, destroying the artificial moon created by Raditz.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAz4FqGTzzuH
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPwUPT3oQQz
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6dkXZbYrsb
Kakarot: “Look out!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACkez57HsKo
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcdLtgoNrkD
Raditz: “Nappa!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxpKjbnQ3Nf
Vegeta: “Nappa!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA67b0PJMaEI
Nappa held on to what was left of his life, using his last ounces of strength to deliver his final words.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9obg6wHYMS
Nappa: “D-Don't let this… go in vain, Vegeta… Destroy Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMI0ssHeWZj
Vegeta: “Why would you do that?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQM9q89kgO0
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAURqdfqr2oP
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAa3GjRL0Q0G
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2Tz9VzYn2j
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAm0YyqL3Ix0
Kakarot: “On the contrary! We're more determined to kill you than ever!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJfSjoOgsjx
Frieza: “I don't recognize this one, but he sure has quite the loud mouth on him.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXKH52f2W7J
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdwZVcrMQXc
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHfXgbmtAb1
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVKoL9tCQye
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAASH4zv56ws
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAh9QXCIb0Rn
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUj3SZtGTxY
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlrKFSQD4ED
Frieza kicked his jaw, knocking him into a building.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWsnmMYnmFd
Frieza: “Such an anticlimactic end it seems.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAKApwdOk1hd
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAO29MpRBrwN
Frieza: “You again!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVfSfOyPSUK
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkbB5f4x6AE
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWHTu50e5xt
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwBKsgc9Psa
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAn784DfKDit
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtTX0oEccVd
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAs2M0o7GO1r
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzFGEZvQMFY
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqErTZOCMuR
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVB6qMq0OEO
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxuQejurbO9
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9E2v3BsJvC
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAd1e31TRQ0a
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAARLJwLHioq
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqeGmkSLfFD
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3PCPrEld8t
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgalRsma4G8
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZPLylmP3Gz
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4ztNnkwngV
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnwtMqyIa34
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAp34HcNPesu
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3zTvKhGi3C
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVkakgBnU1R
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAM5ixCR3BoH
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAbqh139MCCK
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArDbl0F97tn
Raditz: “D-Damn! We're losing the struggle!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAk9r6BBO9hV
825Please respect copyright.PENANAthwkEEn7DX
Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJi2T1WvQNQ
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5TGVzfoXPL
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHJgrCYXO52
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaLkoPjTJUc
“Haaaaaa!!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwLbf7eN5Dp
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANADLzHAKHWWw
Raditz: “We actually did it…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdPVdZwRTOM
Vegeta: “Raditz! Look out!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcHPlPOtGLV
Raditz: “Huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAar1nDXp8ct
Before he could react, Raditz was struck by a mighty backhand from Kakarot.
825Please respect copyright.PENANATsFRrFYwUt
Kakarot: “Rrrraaaahhhh!!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdZRFYSbxgU
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtaGr2GwiOx
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAo53dGOxY6V
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZmqbYaMPxI
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsWgZmibw3y
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxxS3pHkDDE
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWjuspqSHgZ
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7AWxGy5mNp
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQhL8WduIz8
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGDedyDTYKJ
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQl0SY859Dg
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoEgE4vwzn5
Kakarot: “B-Brother… I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArv6FtCqjBG
Raditz: “Oh shut up… I'm fine.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFQRusMi6Xe
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARycxDF6v1A
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3y5WI0QkVH
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFe1aNu1Wq1
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAyHhfAeWusr
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHqHMW8GSBt
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6yXjxYNJbI
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA20LT9mV4ZO
Kakarot: “It's done…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtdXX9xtlz3
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAB2FjQ0dBFO
Vegeta ascended into the air.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgwnd1uUKdp
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApxcm7CI4AG
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQsBJ71kCe7
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA39TuHetsYT
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdX2hmaorhb
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAU9uVxdcSHM
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7yMR6NWKUD
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9lPygvYem6
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAv70OQXPT0I
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAASldv6MhRb
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIiwTdsZJTp
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAheIepUd9lK
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANACt79cD9eeI
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAn8GKUOaFwL
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOEeOhsPeHw
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWuv1n3blHZ
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmI9uRPSu9F
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANuKeAiYAjK
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHnyFUIKP5N
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAn6YJfhWoO8
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFX7W3xdG5f
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWWnNWQllfI
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA993ujX13Xu
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvcbcioqwPg
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArJxywv2Ogm
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA28cgpz3uM8
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6oqggeGo0m
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
825Please respect copyright.PENANALj57atBqUr
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAeaP0RyRoOy
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcdUwaWsz9i
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvXViyMmYLy
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA15MUsgjtHz
825Please respect copyright.PENANARt2L4aSAtN
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
825Please respect copyright.PENANArx0X22Pvh7
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA90Tq9JT2yc
He looked at his fist in shame.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAiRfZV3JC8u
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAAjxEq1kJr
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAHNW48grLq
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAf6MWbOo1Ns
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAm7LDWmASdQ
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANASyW3ge9qj3
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXYbBc60SfG
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAY5OyILrFMI
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcCyC6h30HP
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA06AFset33Z
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJmSiLFMp0q
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARoCNvNJiJS
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6VgKOjQCQf
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATRXUOy5Ghu
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXgPzITsRAh
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..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcs0b2hfSqS
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANACFXznNY2mZ
Kakarot: “No…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAa5lDepVb4X
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAh0Yr8q1uxn
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOVX3wz1yol
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXqUs8Olk9E
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3E53BII8w6
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3oQoWwt9jr
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkkPwzpDFiH
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqhMyr40i80
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
825Please respect copyright.PENANATIja3G2nxo
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6JpX2PB2wu
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAP8SE5mx6FW
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVvSYeVhQ3O
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABXzhLkWYq2
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuB7VbgQbwK
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAql6OZ8H67k
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAbeP81pbrDF
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdwocaONWDN
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlaXosbXzVu
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAx9gWJweUPZ
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANmmkv6aLCV
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnMDFq51ryo
Raditz bowed down in respect.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlHRM6zMvm7
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfMHpZ53zNU
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAktIurCUht2
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANASgPtmzqESH
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4Sd0oXbRxd
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAh6W28PFMtS
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoij2pqSRSX
Raditz: “Right!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANALwjKJauyCs
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoiwZUBIAQc
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y2xYbMPv6
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAawwLC6i4UV
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAANutXDTXML
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAKnuY6l1S2P
Tears ran down his face.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFdClb9S9uH
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfnUe5ajaog
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAeGZdaLPkH
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPU7rAMgpKr
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7d9yFrnErf
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3MlbLCqgIF
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQyv1VthhBX
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMOVcK4zMLw
Raditz smirked.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXGRxmNt14c
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFtv3LRC6ey
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAC9QMY9lTzr
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoRjvMShN99
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaFq6tpqR8p
He pounded the ground.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsPeMZHB3xh
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANzRektobCh
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWfJQsXd9YM
Kakarot: “To fight!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1m22bYw1g9
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGYKhY1M4t8
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATjQwB0OxSn
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaN9HJ3KC8G
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7u3Aye6XXB
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdLY22Groo8
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5iNy4pvOin
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGEFE1xiHqK
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlEEls0IvBf
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgDJDGV96qg
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1S7pAXfA8w
Vegeta: “Wait!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAiRtR1YVUzH
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.
825Please respect copyright.PENANANGs3bBax1t
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA441SRgQQ02
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
825Please respect copyright.PENANALomkWbKFMq
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1U67YZWMfS
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQnLwQ0VAnC
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaAyG6z2TjN
Shenron: “As you wish."
