Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA4t0L4sTkJJ
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANArWLffdFOji
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAce3zgRSycP
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPpH2AD1PO8
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAzQKlGXqZoP
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANApVEF6KuyMz
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9vVgWfBkbd
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAynnUqo3Z5b
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANACyUVd0GfTU
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANANiKDb8Ppav
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA5WfCjA3Qgo
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWB91bNLkr4
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAhhvDgssjRL
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAYxSATQbvxw
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAMNjxSQHvtQ
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAf0LOAzdGE
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAzIKf7no4hh
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANACx2ycY6IqT
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAmDPJKYoHCh
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAocdzZf8SNY
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAH1CQwtqonr
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAJsnyclSLi6
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA8yfyiiTmfx
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAlruvHXwklR
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6JvOocAZE1
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAUro0abFYm2
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAHpKDzRqUgq
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAw9JG9pCvVm
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAXhzmhmbAYj
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAyBRdZsjb1k
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAo51iiKDdN6
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAn1fqS5Ovsk
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAdMloERYNRV
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAZZsiqvelmq
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2n2l7RvB5R
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAe8Bu7Qkf7H
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANADwLWRianrK
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAUOlkUYFpaq
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAlobbHAPZGL
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAapejCQao9B
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAqOHNHW60H7
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAeuCRPU9hUm
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9PG1gzC4c1
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAHjNNA9maHy
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAf9154V6R4a
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKOnUuGisAc
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAVnUG7WmkTi
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAuPdiAYzVFD
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANALsEquI7SWt
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWY2twSzAB6
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAIC019Tqyhf
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAmy5NLalHtR
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAlR6GaKTALI
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9FtQ0xdVYX
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWYDVZ2p3n8
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAxaXDgigslx
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAVCbIkgvDDv
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAFMFZbyW3Y1
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA0nNGiHdhfT
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAh48heXXKC8
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAsA0niT0TRS
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA75w8hKGVpW
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANABnOvowvIxk
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANARVuVZUnz4u
Beet: “Haaa!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAS74dNPzND
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANALpYqOFBgSC
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAlTb4NLZKfh
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANARw1ImQVU9C
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA3xm6Cwi8sd
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAafc8SQqglx
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPYKrd9zFTD
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-”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7uHt1sHFRq
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANADxRO8oBCoc
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAiA9cwqPWGq
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANArlJpzx7chI
Kakarot: “Enough”!
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjdmrV9FP2s
Beet: “Huh?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWmZIzXYZpo
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOkfEbkWkad
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAfh6jxL9TuJ
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANApEUOnl0pvx
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAXo4Y9yzZY0
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAsJsajNq0bc
Beet: “Right!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9zDJhAUW1c
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA0fVMvtpe5K
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA4znSechlsy
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAUEV76PXroL
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAk7lN8qrsE8
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAHL0tQCaa7I
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAu38Du8yJJv
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAYiL3OLLC0j
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPuD4NxSyR8
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANArFkKdoCEUA
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7543NYIj3J
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAGpFSRTirFf
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAxOEWKvNPcY
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAUaxzIYf0HJ
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAcdkEX46oDC
Bulma: “I love you.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAfYMfbFhVed
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAt9gMnSVi6x
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA1Sub9zthzO
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAldIy2VTD7L
“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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANApeKmFt70Uj
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPdXSfxa8eG
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAuA1vXXGEjW
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
380Please respect copyright.PENANABdekQm5jEL
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAsMrjdKtROq
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAVEk8tMyYyr
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAtJAOqYgggp
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAQhherMInim
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAqwaFo5xRH8
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA8MwBDQef8c
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAn0M2hphj0Y
Beep! Beep! Beep!
380Please respect copyright.PENANAUT80r5a6BO
“It works just how the rumors said they would. With this technology, tracking frieza's movements will be a breeze.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA1P4sTsWXIL
“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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7QaM3JNxnN
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAM0wkVz6jVj
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAj6caKZGbSZ
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAu11dY9DQVu
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAHUBDM7y5Bg
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAV5hurq7C27
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANATv3rFUOd38
Bulma chuckled.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAkbLOcoBh9R
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAfbctWaGefj
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAoFk1LG760Q
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAisPsTBgT3b
Beet: “Momm!!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAe2QBURPJpL
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAas0Mnh5hNO
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAwTVP1xVOC
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAVElVFrzJlk
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAbue50fJstK
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7aznkYkXCp
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2XWeVR0l45
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAqiID906PHd
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAW84iV0fLjk
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAi09tE978ic
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2lZxqYqoPN
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAlXx2r4aKlU
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANALKrrJQgPHf
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA4AuI025vek
Kakarot: “Enough!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAMrLhb7C2HU
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAYTSXlogjkp
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAtKfzs1tbPj
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9dWLjeCP1J
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6bN4FZz6MJ
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9s00YD0y5r
Beet: “Sir!!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAr5OLbKLU77
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ptx7Hsj26
Bulma: “Beet!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA3Wt1xGdnhg
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAj8icwd8jwJ
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAV4L9yK6fhn
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAawUAS9XnzQ
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANALB2cfS5nto
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANACtoiyWd61b
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA3mSLsyqbS6
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAt23AX3ellg
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAC9Li4BDyqY
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6WQdgXzr0N
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAfDMOq8UEZL
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOcAdCTRJgJ
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA4nbUYaun5r
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANADXrwuB3jby
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAwEQgO54Ys9
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!”

Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAfUukwika8W
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAD9IqIwAI4M
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAGPHEIABLTM
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAQMLCOo6BZS
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAgDHUvMxTIp
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAn5vXh0sNnD
Raditz: “You have my word.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAt9alY5yf0Z
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2VSKoaEPVn
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANARZaNoNkJo2
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7TntiGvakb
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAcAHloW3kgU
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAnLdnkAn52R
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAaWepJgYpmT
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANArQ4SCg8S5q
Raditz chuckled.
380Please respect copyright.PENANASRyc35y2Pi
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAHK9ZLC62i7
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAkmXw2wtIvP
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAosMb50a6OE
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPFh8TqlUi5
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKDz49H0tJX
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAZcQQwTLDqi
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAxeLQDD4Qas
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAncShkOLLPT
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAc3AdDVbvH1
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
380Please respect copyright.PENANABmP3QUOqyJ
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAYN7h7kgX96
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAz13s8foecc
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAXZTiMwhVn5
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAz1sPBuMvZQ
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
380Please respect copyright.PENANANtKsJjWQh5
Raditz took a deep breath.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAG73CrnXifx
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAZbljXAtYCL
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAid20vmRaDf
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAku577wokQ9
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2d08FSkRlG
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAME28IJwmA6
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjFpoEmNh9o
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAYtiXQeWUQQ
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
380Please respect copyright.PENANArokWqaqUwt
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9AdEJbbbw2
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAZPeQFt00si
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAM4V7bwjLHB
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAENJblYNrJx
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAH3KNupmU9J
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA3nFq66aCB2
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAU4OggggUBP
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA5gVZBLghSD
Kakarot: “The prince?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA05yFN8Gskb
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA35t1AHAz2a
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAyZaOozLa7Y
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAqTrLAWB5NN
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAVd00hPv92Q
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAVNpvMGW7ir
Kakarot: “….”
380Please respect copyright.PENANARmkreVnmNN
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAkAjYmwhRCI
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOGDzQzaAvE
Bulma hesitated to reply.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjNzA5PjrnT
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAiyThOqnwtw
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA5IZN11A6mY
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
380Please respect copyright.PENANArclYZiBbew
Beet: “Sir!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA1ufNMtEBqH
He came face to face with his father.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2vuUqomNFz
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAeo30fBlGNI
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAiX13rLedYJ
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAyomT8KU8yY
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANACDLh5EKAj3
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA1tMwNfDxwT
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAJmEvCplQbr
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANASvSXOryMg0
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANArWoboBhZ9i
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAfKo0YINk1H
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAMGNZN7oMeB
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAO4hBrWRDqr
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANArZhHQfBDOm
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANACifRXRZCcA
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.’
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOdcRTtectM
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAZtCj3f3g3t
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAVPdK5keNVj
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAGsxKNDba70
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAHmuYiaiPoh
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9bXiRf7s4J
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAlOwOrrLI8r
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAlW7KaqSbR
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAlqOAsYPdWK
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAbhQqdZFE3i
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAvX1vAl7jaZ
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAC3mhNZxaD3
The prince hesitated.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAThzEO1p0SW
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAXVdTGvU0wa
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKE3aoSBbKx
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANARfvcFjKSs8
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANALqNay2sxB7
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAcNLh4mmF6u
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7J6pvE3XZC
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAtPk6myrEk
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA31FJiu4Dg2
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAzeDE0z6Uck
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9rAyH2A7g2
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAotPL2jVVcF
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2XHnezz0fJ
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2GZcDOoCt4
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANALKWyvKTvcH
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAz8fLv1vXZG
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAsaZiO7L4iM
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAp9fEEmJDrZ
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAezqZqS9GKW
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA1ubIX6S6FS
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAJhevm4tmQ2
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANALZGYCfsIKD
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
380Please respect copyright.PENANALnQC62hNcX
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2Jfn2XAQfF
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAe1K5VoOnvK
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAZwTivRNlRO
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAqXMEfl1ThU
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANASG1Xpa8qie
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAuIqkl1bm9K
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAJjNUdhhuhI
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPjLFhczymL
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAbQUsQP800M
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANApa65IZBpOs
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANABmUXadw45G
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAQQXlvBxYnF
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAZySEuXEXrS
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAlkoMyjJF7k
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAhE2IKsI34M
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPVIM4h7Zwm
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAyFpTZ5kNeo
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAGnGDVq7FMq
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWcSyAXB4Ql
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAeDFw73rRVz
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANANXCKiJKSel
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWHzWvrhrtm
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAfHnYWsrrps
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAZLU4C5XowJ
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAk5mX2LvjI
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAtj9YG1kGBs
Kakarot: “What was that?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAeY6omdYsWY
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAUtTyBiPyGz
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPgutciwewX
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6SDnv00REx
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANASwmks3GhDj
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA8NDQ7bToqg
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAFmtz4kLRSw
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAsitg592i5i
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAy8ya7Dwu6Q
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7FQVJarFL6
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA1vcwxOGjYS
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2BXm6HO4oi
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAvmN2csmFmF
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOE5zm4AN5T
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAo1oJRaZenu
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANABMDUf87DYd
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAoVzVE0RQHw
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAF4eG31xhj9
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAGVOPJuTobt
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOtJSnBb0S8
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7GcmmMBeD
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2l9nkdaHnw
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOlZsaevMq9
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9FFb5ibMVW
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAEC8Jo459ZL
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAONy4QXwEXo
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAXA1Eo5a3JC
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAP1oM9QQRS4
“Your foot is on my tail!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAaxYiQ80teE
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAuESnRnggqh
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ4neNCSMj
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjq3CuwBiQt
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAh4nM1awhoI
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAT6MFJY2e2d
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAFVPemJybUT
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANARC3XKUccEL
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAd7AJ3yMFu7
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPDqH2mo61Y
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAJU2pdB4Xi2
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA4XZroE1JEd
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKrt4RasoRz
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAA1YWxLDKMQ
Kakarot smiled.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6HKzovF6WP
Kakarot: “Understood!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOfoh70orRk
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAJsMTn5I4Qj
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAwh4bIdeENj
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAqviuO5xKrK
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAqQvQtjDX6W
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKjt6rmEwLi
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAmhhbTZIklY
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAIiqBi26We8
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAro03o4sBsc
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA940DDGKzzQ
Vegeta chuckled.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAzeIvIzQHvy
Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7sjYa7zSN4
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA1o1h0i7KYA
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANACG5qW762mR
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
380Please respect copyright.PENANAzhAPsjjkZM
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAbRjOlh32cr
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAXWoMaPIBNQ
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA0MSmbMNSG7
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAESllwMSDha
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAYK2bS6GcLo
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.

Raditz: “What the hell? His power level is growing!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAhgDqAykXZC
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAEwB77oPGEA
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAV3ytWJPMzW
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6EKREbtcLZ
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAruiAmuXFA9
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANANi0hRc5GP1
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAesfZKneE0H
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA5V06liCE9y
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANATPXeiB4mGS
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANArE30MBT0jg
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAbr8o7fQtRn
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOSnxQz6arG
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAmBobbcbShz
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAwV57gKkvWL
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAcb7avobZhp
He took a peek at his injuries.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA44PFWhDI7i
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAqqkXcXhJL
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7STPZ6R2aA
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAZJWYCuFpD0
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAYFaVpps5Iy
Vegeta: “I think you've made us all proud today, boy.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAP72QIqYaHs
Kakarot accepted his superior's compliment with a smile.
380Please respect copyright.PENANACHJFRfGlke
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
380Please respect copyright.PENANAoyS8NFtU2E
Raditz: “Kakarot! Look out!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA1st0rET6mq
Kakarot: “Huh?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAhukxxGyRai
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAdlCPoidtSK
Raditz: “Why you!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjkqb76qNg2
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANATzSbFyL4rJ
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAN6i7ibQXVR
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAEXoEy5Stsv
Kakarot: “What… What h-happened?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAj5ds8ViTcU
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjvFsiOucGg
Raditz: ‘Right!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAtfNqhWTHnK
Raditz carefully lifted his brother and took him aboard.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAq8ir4V9ng4
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANApRK1hRqOVC
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA1CWuNVOzM3
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAcHqxGdaRaf
“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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAkwK9oJnzmX
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2rHQI0NW0w
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9oHkyRD3K
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAgiuyg7IIvu
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA3OfSEiui5w
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAE22BS0ryrX
Doctor: “I will sir.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAIEgmqh2y3Y
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZhH1ytHQt
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAfWygbEVf8a
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANADe8rm7fZ9j
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAbk1Ljg8qsC
Kakarot: “I see. I don't feel anything though.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAoFmyqz0dUw
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAaoSML7AtHT
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAq6i9hDIKxd
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjaOXTObo5P
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANACvee51tvrJ
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA0Yq8suM9O1
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAj1UiVedXYo
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANACLUKQj7iqn
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAmdMvjRqKTR
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAeefysNahYa
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAtlC1nSu8Iq
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANASimtliR9pF
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAE0uBW0sjIB
Raditz: “Yeah, you sure do.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAwD2kfhZogj
The brothers shared a laugh together.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAhsKGDvWAbH
Beet: “Sir!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANASaHyqHzutc
The boy eagerly rushed to his father and greeted him with a firm handshake. Kakarot smiled and patted his head.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKwrz9ftkcj
Bulma: “You came back sooner than I expected.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAuKNdzWAcu3
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAgn5Dr6Jure
Bulma: “Wait, what? You brought them here? Are you crazy?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6LqRJrTNHl
Kakarot: “They're great people, I promise! I trust them with my life.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAo0GBztyMGe
Bulma: “This isn't just about you anymore! I want to be able to trust them with mine and Beet's lives too!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2R1Fddb2vv
Bulma looked over at her son and gently patted his shoulder.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOBFvFM3qY2
Bulma: “Go play outside okay? Let me and your father talk.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAzXtUE9V87o
Beet: “Yes mom!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAmO7YaGxrrK
The little boy made his way out, trying not to acknowledge the tension in the room.
380Please respect copyright.PENANANo7CkYPOH3
Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAxU4PiSlkJN
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAD67Mw4W5mL
Kakarot: “When we win.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAieMzQvpqyP
Bulma: “And what considers us the winners? What happens when survivors of their conquests come looking for revenge?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAejxOnFetc
Kakarot: “I’ll stop them.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAzxf2vAqloR
Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPP2VZdr5QD
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAkNbtwePt5Z
Bulma: “It is when that desire puts us all at risk!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANArS9y3bWT1w
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAgJTT6sbhnK
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKU8CcTnRx5
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAUJiiXBw9bb
Kakarot: “Beet!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOQzXL1id9u
Beet: “Yes, sir?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAFt6cuI6fzb
Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAHgTPUQoks7
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKVOChwz7m7
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAb42940rhbM
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA5suYeJwHb8
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAughJZmvauF
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAzEdq9QsBDa
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAtj057Iq1uR
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8vwVlOcjI
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAQv3FLCWnfT
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAcWOG9zlAzF
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAW6bDKnAGUd
Beet: “I'm Beet! I've heard a lot about you guys, you're all so awesome in person!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAw6wTPbVllm
Nappa: “I like this little one!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAt6d3LSTJST
Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAXaxdpsIr9S
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAEqtT0vyPtS
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANACZQnXyS2dw
Vegeta looked down at the cheerful boy.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAA3Wndz2tXU
Vegeta: “Raditz, I'll give you the honor to test the boy's strength yourself.”

380Please respect copyright.PENANAVQVZ9URExb

380Please respect copyright.PENANAMehdR7YH2p
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA8SCIsHSPwy
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAK8x8Uz1HMG
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPmoIws1zE0
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA8Hj9eVHCgz

380Please respect copyright.PENANApQA1bAnaPx
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANANNEu38JmEk
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjo5Zghp9sj
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAvmn3pwXWaA
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
380Please respect copyright.PENANABNTqY1r3sh

380Please respect copyright.PENANAEVObw6qzJv

380Please respect copyright.PENANAMdx8YKjJZJ
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAonetImR1JQ
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAskNpzsgDzJ
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAaOx3iWZyyv
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.

Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAlMrPyKz7HS
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAU9uqjjckL2
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAk4Usso9VO
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAIgvo1LUqvs
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAj18QFP6BBf
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA90E2WY0cgj
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAH0HNeDhfQx
Beet: “O-Okay.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANATWnavtfCgN
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWHjfi7W9KW
Kakarot: “What happened?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6kOMiwLSmV
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9czFriOqJI
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAxmD9xS4ftI
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAREGqLSNfO5
Kakarot: “Fine.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANALw7IwsYjhQ
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAezqFSIvl4n
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAM0LzuUPpsa
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAVUm3BZZpMV
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA1i6GGlJZ9k
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAskEeARQIHI
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAaKcoUF7dHG
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAu97QJRnh4d
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9zHtSCRgz8
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAtqczY8pLsU
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAHlhmi02NpU
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAZm6thbwWB7
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAQbHfA7Cbdf
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAHp6x1as7sc
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAqJYpG52Mtu
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAYsWFzjDmhA
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAwWoY8Wq6AW
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANATME6mN3m30
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAa6jWV7zbGV
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAMowuuZNaWv
Raditz: “Understood.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANART99QAt7iP
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANADPoqY0eYhA
Raditz departed from the room.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAvmKPzyZ480
“Haaaa”
380Please respect copyright.PENANASMOTRqbMEH
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAXuEXAGWbuS
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANADITjfJ3zsO
Kakarot: “Right.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOrsYpCX2fH
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA3BKe87PxPP
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAq1t41MC73y
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAx5rqMj0p8y
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAFqaRgeJvgZ
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAStsyGVOqB6
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAEIdv90gJRV
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAxvNiF5X1oA
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAVp95g6uN0E
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAYP62I7o45K
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAlqtq0vlz7O
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANArMp5tGC4Rj
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAW9ttVNeYis
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
380Please respect copyright.PENANACEo4jxdZzG
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAG5LQM7S4Do
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAEOjpoCdH5a
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAIHCJ8SN4bF
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAmKzclL5gnt
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAC7WP6Tz80m
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANATymv0ibmcf
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAspFHAnIj3Y
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAplxWDZo3sd
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAeuoy3EUo00
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAz8uIdO7pPg
Kakarot turned around.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAl7wMEGL8Iv
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAVHyC2uPiNp
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAehCG8DFFeB
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANASxNX1fp2SG
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA3SFzQW4ciA
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPz7gNkiCNp
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAq2QOIJ3kaO
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAq46WW4Lvkq
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAff3E1FGCEn
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7CcrxNDRw6
380Please respect copyright.PENANAYe1HLkSk3o
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAlThnIGQ4RX
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANANSPhG4stuK
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWb806g0P34
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANANWuGlYLQuY
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAclvv6xNE8E
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7k5Z3JzMQr
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAtrZPEbbxk0
Kakarot: “Right!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAASdJ0uFj8D
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA0UpYBfv6bS
Kakarot: “Yes?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAmy77KsJPOp
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAHeght57Zid
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAvSw4QQ23Is
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9rGugbLHGC
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPcLPBvSYoZ
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAFyp08dxVCA
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAfNOMQjgzCk
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjGEUuhqy5K
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA92w3MbSGtm
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPGWgOJrjst
Raditz turned to his brother.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9VYGdTTSta
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2LWrTCQ7en
Raditz: “Right..”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAgTp4lBCRgb
Raditz took off with his pod.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA4oJ63mTWQv
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAQwlVhHgTmm
“Let me take a look.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAnXIOrRYUyH
Beep! Beep! Beep!
380Please respect copyright.PENANA5wyLq9Ywdq
“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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAyKfWU8l66l
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7Yg6ijBMeF
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAkPyXc4OhBo
He bowed in respect.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA8qUIUe4h9f
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAXZRBFIpCqK
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAFfemXQnAeQ
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAIxmroEtDRi
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjRURoGrzMy
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAWPaLMFNnR
Raditz: “As you wish.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAaqT6nmDI3h
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAGHCiQTeWOp
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAQCsMpJ7qzY
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAw7zyrsAHL
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAv4RtDq4UF7
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAL6LxZsI4uZ
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAVaBv7LoVuh
Zarbon took his leave.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAExVjHYfg5Q
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKopXCabhwC
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAvimpRbpma7
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAONHgfkGpjR
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAHUdJMy0FpW
Raditz chuckled.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAsPXH0LwqnD
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAkJWPUaFMjQ
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7LjVIaMquw
380Please respect copyright.PENANAvun1k7vRkM
Beep! Beep! Beep!
380Please respect copyright.PENANALaLN6sAQu6
Raditz: “He's here…”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAgVBVVgJ8lA
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAQDXidtRkDs
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAIDK7mslALS
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAynruCYf4D5
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
380Please respect copyright.PENANABzMPkLTS6Z
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANATLbqZGW2c6
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAXzlhjr1o1s
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAexqoBP7OVk
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA8cTJsHqX35
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAHA6u7fXlRe
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAmdTV522cvq
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAMNhOcOJqsT
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAtz7QJJqiOK
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA1fXKcspjIj
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAi1rtzANNF6
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7h9dbzwWM
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAzPq7jfOyad
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAIrfn4A9SVL
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAbVcA38ZxSU
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA4pSLfI32su
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANADLTNf8M0pW
Raditz: “Damn it!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAz887LBUVNs
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7DEJOhBP4A
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAlnBYazZtHm
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAMvKGVotTEe
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAY41K3bHMvq
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9ifuLWwNNW
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAE74nVUqXd8
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAbyHPKrikKj
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAQzP5hiHhz5
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6NH9TI0jsF
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAP86vg1N4Ry
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAsLDUzK3oS9
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAxoyDcMDgyR
Beep! Beep! Beep!
380Please respect copyright.PENANALrXo37Srj3
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAfWTC0IGha2
Dodoria: “What is it?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA5g9AoHwwNz
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAuKuGm7ffS
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAcVRl0lE1RR
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAu2t9OTcMvB
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAhRCwvb2AJT
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAzxJVrgUlqJ
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAFCNGTu5Zvi
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANABBKZIFmW9m
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAC9dE3RDfF
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAW4uqu65Tmm
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2wxPOcSC8
Raditz: “Keep talking you tub of lard, you'll be eating those words soon! Hehe.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANARDr3yyMFst
Dodoria: “Why you!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjRqXIw7RyX
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9AGyBRUYn9
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAZHZheSXgXa
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAeSxMfx57gL
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAED7plfVxnv
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAxrowRKxulK
Zarbon: “Die!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7w4nOFuUHI
Vegeta: “Both of you, stand back. Frieza is mine to kill.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAIXhStwb7QP
Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA3eDA7AL6OR
Vegeta: “Don't worry about me. I'm fairly confident I can take him now.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAYdCMSRbbyN
Kakarot: “We're counting on you.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANATf6ZpC1lJg
Vegeta nodded before slowly making his way towards Frieza.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAJz8gEyvDbo
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAFWX8PKWw61
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAibwAQtI8AK
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!!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAiMhHf5r6zg
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKeFESs7Q4e
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKhBMbahEJ3
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAe42LlgrRIX
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAazfUoSLxR4
Vegeta: “Huh?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANArDN0wVNxdr
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANABabEY2ojeP
Nappa: “I'm not sure! He's bluffing! There's no way he has another form!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAtJO9IQSv82
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2MpykjkDuy
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6OsUW9gdvj
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANABiRiAb6iP4
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAONwRbXPUX7
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAws8o9RIBzZ
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAQnyikfVGpg
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAtrO4uVnOCy
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAcImT4UhiqQ
Zarbon darted past Raditz, catching him from behind. He squeezed him tight, gradually crushing his bones.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA0kKwvoHH7c
Raditz: “Gyyaaaahh!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANALDIyLDz183
He yelled in pain, powerless to Zarbon's grip.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAytcTnKBO5A
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAzs2UbVPFOl
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA0j69ipYpcM
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANATnqh0kr0El
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
380Please respect copyright.PENANArAFpRZfXVw
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAFrjDk06vl8
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAyBvhqVfvya
Vegeta: “You don't understand, fool, there's nothing we can do anymore..”
380Please respect copyright.PENANArxsENBX8Q6
Kakarot: “Nonsense! We have to find a way!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAvirLnqN5TE
Zarbon continued to torture the saiyan. His grip only tightened as Raditz grew more powerless to his might.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAUlx6UkXj5g
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA3PaoQHYCLV
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOe3TSIfc5Z
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANARWCYgILatB
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAJy9qACENju
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAx7GrtX4srV
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAHLI4zzWSI6
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA825Fy8M5h8
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKfvtnpNDpC
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAfWVXSsGYfJ
Frieza: “Y-You-”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAyE6TYn6dbI
Vegeta: “Haha! The mighty Frieza has fallen to his feet at the hands of the saiyan race!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAYtepbdCmzR
Nappa: “Poor bastard can barely even stand!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAwW4ZaU5cC6
Vegeta: “Give it up, Frieza!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAG49v4AjiJj
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAnfqaXlQvVC
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA137sZGScVq
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAXRLBRvZlze
Kakarot: “Not again!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAwnjeZZ0QzM
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAlexh4NJAc7
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAaRD4TDWFqj
Frieza lifted his finger, destroying the artificial moon created by Raditz.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAibl7z2bfNL
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWwvQCE1DOw
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6NXY8YFhW5
Kakarot: “Look out!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPqUNJ4PMjk
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAGQMokxlyD4
Raditz: “Nappa!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAC5xDRBKmOy
Vegeta: “Nappa!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOxMapARMYK
Nappa held on to what was left of his life, using his last ounces of strength to deliver his final words.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAqq2iAXuNC5
Nappa: “D-Don't let this… go in vain, Vegeta… Destroy Frieza!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAxVZLBPiDUD
Vegeta: “Why would you do that?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAGa16BeR3RM
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAc0scx74CRz
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAbGSziBVQMB
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ95UexbUM
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9T0arjX7BJ
Kakarot: “On the contrary! We're more determined to kill you than ever!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA5kXmY5c9GW
Frieza: “I don't recognize this one, but he sure has quite the loud mouth on him.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAoYD7e4pKsC
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6Rxg4CRAcN
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPVWsHdoPmR
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAq7vESgyujS
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA8mg7FXmAS7
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANApyPiRss8LX
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2EJxlzS2MI
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAwhc73onNGc
Frieza kicked his jaw, knocking him into a building.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAHePp7Uis0I
Frieza: “Such an anticlimactic end it seems.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAC049bBWpDC
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAvBDCB6tOF5
Frieza: “You again!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANArjbJ80PJcB
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANALIcKXVGwlU
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAQsvHEcCVPA
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANASDczSXpdxd
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANASj4lNvNZpp
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAdeL1Mb4f1O
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAxkpsf3qsJH
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAm9kB4KLCJ9
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOnTCQ1nFSG
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAv6PzZBJNYb
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2FhAxCfnq6
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAegRTaRHsnW
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9WZ1XyTCME
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjg5KxdvdqC
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
380Please respect copyright.PENANALcDg9CxGyI
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAbF4N8PRoMT
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAfXXX7zGctN
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ3Qk1thFe
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAlykmP9jYJT
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAMZxJeuZOJd
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAuMV5OE1Lpd
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAidTQ1ytNXb
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAMnkU7KyDYn
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAEwpGZ7DHLF
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAo1mDpCdkal
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAenQkXEscMg
Raditz: “D-Damn! We're losing the struggle!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKHy342a2tV
380Please respect copyright.PENANApmBmyozkIK
Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
380Please respect copyright.PENANArDaT0EzGW7
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAG5BSBeK1ZV
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAh3wnhlosXh
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAaDJ4kibq8r
“Haaaaaa!!!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA0BgIJVbXDG
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6JF2YqT8ko
Raditz: “We actually did it…”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6VMl5fHnuV
Vegeta: “Raditz! Look out!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAR54mji4zWh
Raditz: “Huh?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANApB5HjetyvZ
Before he could react, Raditz was struck by a mighty backhand from Kakarot.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA4cKugvM4NA
Kakarot: “Rrrraaaahhhh!!!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAR4OyJD6Yuv
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAdLt7ATAL6H
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
380Please respect copyright.PENANACXzJXTXfzG
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAaIZ8RlhJUR
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAP7pylIIEwO
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6PRDa7Ez0i
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAnW5ylm3a7V
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAbOGxJm4fgC
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWluvWH4SJV
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA1OkwPhwhA1
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAA4wn4Pa0uP
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
380Please respect copyright.PENANARAujBsicX7
Kakarot: “B-Brother… I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-”
380Please respect copyright.PENANALg7Tdaklx9
Raditz: “Oh shut up… I'm fine.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANArRWA2nAqaH
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA00eCVLtrsS
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAycVhBKpM0G
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAY8AP2F6tV1
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAFPFNncwvXd
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAnzK8QcILr5
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAxv28TvvO3D
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAoujImIyNm5
Kakarot: “It's done…”
380Please respect copyright.PENANArSQKugWePf
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAigM0GIU7dk
Vegeta ascended into the air.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAlDwhj0zUXZ
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANANCIIiQPEii
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAhdHtXNxFdt
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjYN1QIImxe
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAF97T5r88JC
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWW0k4cHYzH
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAySE4tysMR
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAj1nv39xFbd
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAeoZ0HUxec7
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAJNo6J28OnF
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAvJF6Fiw9Ep
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAIGlQGAtixX
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANALpMnu1h0uO
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAUS7eSBFzCL
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAX92xjzttwI
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA533XLOUqpc
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAa1xTSJ6CIZ
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAcS4mRnnwPR
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAMvQC1mc8g4
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA3BSQG0Ogzp
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAeUhoCIiVOn
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAmS1GXUvfvU
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANASEy8kjfOKF
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAVrVrZGFNE7
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAtV9I5aC3PC
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9pq2PfM3do
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAz38MFs4Xq
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA1sGGwk0iIq
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAclOyLIVtmy
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAagptZbYdeu
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAIFPIzc4g0P
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWcCsGvHsQz
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6FaKlulfQM
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAdBIWb1GDeY
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAe22QyKtu6A
He looked at his fist in shame.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9HfygwnqAn
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAy1ig5qgWMg
380Please respect copyright.PENANALmQEr0IJ33
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAvcSFfpWaiP
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAmsiKwRSKjn
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2gjKS2fvQm
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAgqFUhUqGIp
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAyQGOVA4i4y
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAznIl4REKnW
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWzscEl6RFe
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ0DoQ1OXg
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAwFKuYfWC7m
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAhnsvGUfMes
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAB09W1ANGuo
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAMhqb0uGuDQ
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..”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAOR9x3WowhV
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAGXUG870ZRQ
Kakarot: “No…”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAkvYk5JZrHN
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAyZoyay3bzV
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAs4cjQRHiTJ
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAsZMsPAzim2
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAq0uyKERLD4
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANASjkfNyy5sj
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAHQFHzwB5M4
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAsGv0ifSRxA
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6OtykM0Flo
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
380Please respect copyright.PENANArC4rvqrAb4
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAXS7yjvB7Vi
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAsNG1VdWEyT
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAot26HlAISN
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjPhyKwkPkR
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6w6qFutTa7
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA4GVBihwVIV
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAPq4hWlbYHD
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA8jrTDymUR5
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ96lLn7gC
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANACMtBd1ph5V
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA45NIvouwRb
Raditz bowed down in respect.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWKTIRnvLNU
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAduRsh8ebyZ
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAhE1fc3zWDU
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjl8wNZAD8f
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA7iKAU0cf9b
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAUFGbC7R9ft
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAyq2XfhYMD1
Raditz: “Right!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAnjsuoexQJm
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA3eOUPtWZDD
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAl21GIUHgrT
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9u7VxrUE8E
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAjqyssmP8XN
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAZlB0P0xAxb
Tears ran down his face.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWNmW2WSyaB
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?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANADd8rMGPij4
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2qvJLGxGt8
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAB0Qkbr2Qq3
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAtZtB6cM8ce
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA6ih90O5WjG
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
380Please respect copyright.PENANArwFyNx3frj
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANACkvbs8Oekk
Raditz smirked.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA4NaeKRDach
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAofvXTEP9G3
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAsH64WHrIGo
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA48PUjHek17
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAsctkhODHHb
He pounded the ground.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAO5cRbka6ez
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA4gdx0WnGCw
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA0QWZIvAO6i
Kakarot: “To fight!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANApsHdzfmJf5
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANABUO0DppE4o
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA2JaAfjPH7U
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
380Please respect copyright.PENANABF2npQNgg4
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
380Please respect copyright.PENANADFtSf9TARS
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAuxLJePglnk
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA3NYhB4COUb
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAkUDiwweCga
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAg3DGqLdphm
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAWUkiPIbG7k
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.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAslKBi4IJeZ
Vegeta: “Wait!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAAUqfxv7c99
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.
380Please respect copyright.PENANA9GyTil4WQG
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA3GhnDsJXLK
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAnfCCtNAg8S
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
380Please respect copyright.PENANAE6hBeE2Ilh
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
380Please respect copyright.PENANAT0vIysCuBx
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!”
380Please respect copyright.PENANA95y48Hgw8l
Shenron: “As you wish."
