Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEoWP4Vkuo
Bardock: “Working under you gave me the opportunity to be the warrior I craved to be, I can admit that, but I think I speak for every saiyan when I say we're tired of being under your watch. We were born to be free and fight for our pleasure! Not for your convenience! This ends now! Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOEwV30wjo
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3K0CVeUxw
Frieza: “No, no. He went through all the trouble of fighting off my soldiers and confronting me directly. I cannot explain why but I feel like I owe him this last duel. Perhaps then this monkey will realize his pathetic place in this universe when he draws his last breaths.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ieXoQyz8F
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uBhAGDkG0
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0LlVlFpxW
The saiyan warrior launched a fist full of fury and pride. The mighty emperor redirected his punch with a palm strike to his arm. Bardock turned right back around and rushed Frieza with a combination of fierce and rapid punches and kicks. Frieza had no trouble evading and blocking each strike. A smirk was firmly printed on his face, showing the saiyan who was truly in control. Bardock jumped back and quickly shot a ki blast at the tyrant. Frieza stopped the blast with his bare hand. The explosion was a mere calculated distraction from the proud warrior. The smoke hid Bardock's location, giving him the chance to deliver a full power kick to Frieza's liver, followed by a punch, charged with ki, to his face. The blows sent Frieza back a few feet. His smirk was wiped from his face, shifting into an irritated frown.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LHygN6xtW
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusBR2Uubtn
The emperor made his move, striking Bardock's rib with his pinky finger at a blinding speed. The saiyan spit blood and lost his balance. Frieza swung his tail, slamming it into his face, knocking more blood out. He struck him a few more times before piercing his leg with a small beam he shot from his finger. Blood gushed out from the wounded warrior's leg. He yelled in agony and held his injured area. The sadistic emperor went for another shot at the saiyan's shoulder this time.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTVkfyOE5Q
Frieza: “It's a shame knowing you're the last one standing from your side of this war. The prince is under my control and the remaining saiyans are nothing to worry about. The saiyan race has fallen!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvFZ0uPFi0
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DNpyq37fS
Bardock: “I guess I was right to think ahead hehe. You're wrong! The saiyan race will never truly fall! You may have conquered all of our remaining warriors, but there's one more! Kakarot! Remember that name! Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpviY55FF5I
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltSoDf09at
Bardock accepted his fate, but he refused to die in such an insulting manner and let out one final burst of energy from his palm. Frieza raised his finger, generating a massive ball of energy that resembled a sun.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvksX63dWy
Frieza: “My original intentions were to wipe out all of you monkeys with this war so I could salvage this planet for my own, but perhaps it's best that I make sure no trace of your once thriving society remains.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3TY8wfTOO
He lowered his finger, tossing the sphere at Bardock's direction. The attack completely disintegrated Bardock's final stand. With no power left to fight back, the last soldier of the saiyan resistance succumbed to his inevitable fate.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYxxrrd2hD
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmZq1nmjtW
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEwDm6x5ON
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0WBCdCM0q
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4spX5eKs2
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA7bHjKPMf
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ0loJYDk0
Commander Red: “How dare you pretend you have a moral high ground! You and I both know you loved every moment out there! You live for this…Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRyIWYTRZq
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswbZnLe3dy
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMN9QWDLo0
The saiyan chopped the Commander in half with his bare hand. He crashed through the roof of the building they stood in and flew off.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45cByXMaLi
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR578ZgYcz
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMysVh1Ofd
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNWrvV3QeM
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqaJJoCagu
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtK7ljb73j
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkhvYWKay6
Kakarot: “My ear piece was damaged during battle. The martial artists from before stepped in but I finally settled the score with them. No one will ever hurt us again.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkkQQaKIQj
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN6yyXvNZZ
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzmypHwna5
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RykL2mC7z
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5CjGnOjfm
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAQ5HR7Je5
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaY6hKV6Yh
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fX33hbHBL
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAz65wYsne
Kakarot: “I have no interest in leading these people, they can do whatever they want as far as I care, just as long as we're left unbothered. We should start by thinking about our future.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZznlp4Edg7
For months, the war between Kakarot and the earth's alliance had dragged on, many fell victim to Kakarot's might before the combined forces of the government and even the red ribbon army had fallen, finally ending the conflict. The best martial artists on the planet had their own turmoil with the saiyan but they unfortunately faced the same fate as the rest of his opposition. Despite the terrors that took place, a period of tranquility was achieved at last. A peace that would last for a few years to come.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4yw9iMw6L
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRldshP14qK
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbCcyAAtdh
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT7Isnbm8V
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ygDo0M7yU
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9nRZh2T65
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDHYiQokTV
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUlzKOv3ep
Kakarot: “I haven't even begun to comprehend what lies beyond our planet, what goes on outside our universe was never really of my concern.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMt5f2eEXN
Bulma: “Well, I've studied quantum mechanics as much as I've studied engineering and there's theories suggesting the possibility of a multiverse. An infinite set of parallel worlds like our own but with minor or sometimes major differences.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs7R4dT7Eo
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2cPmHbfRv
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8glmz8EnJM
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GjPL9QyCS
Bulma: “That explains a lot. This isn't just any vehicle though, once I get it figured out, this baby will be able to take us across dimensions! Look, I know we will never be able to undo the damage we caused, I've accepted it was for the greater good, but with this, we could go to other worlds where we exist and prevent this disaster! We can work together and create harmony so they don't have to live with our guilt!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznGLFScL3m
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPamosw8Pj
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU8QjCc1NZ
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2NoQ3gKjO
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPDbzDhi9L
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ23caMsHQ
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJFaxGuVFB
Bulma: “You know how that boy is, he said he was going to pick some things up from the city, but I'm almost certain he's out in the woods again.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSX0oKb8dy
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX3osYe3pP
Beet: “Haaa!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzK8q6Sw8D
Beet kicked at the beast that stood before him, knocking one of its teeth out. The dinosaur remained determined and swung its massive tail at the child who just barely reacted in time to evade it. The dinosaur charged at him, chomping it's jaws at Beet. The boy struggled to escape every bite.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rPJUbT1BI
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRj7ixgllR
Beet was whacked by the creature's tail, knocking him over. The dinosaur opened its jaw revealing its terrifying teeth. Beet closed his eyes shut and covered his face, preparing for the worst. The dinosaur bit down, but to his surprise, there was nothing there.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdh7pFm2O5
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0hFoBpWfa
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUKeVtkijp
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuo3YQqU2F
Kakarot: “You're focused on the wrong objective. You can strike its head as many times as you want and it still has the chance to get up again. But-”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKovO4rEJAX
Kakarot snatched the dinosaur's tail and tore it off in the blink of an eye. A big smile took over his face, overcoming his usual serious demeanor. His smile quickly faded as he saw the blood that leaked from the tail.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC6ADXGEVv
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lYtb67Z97
A memory of the bloodshed from the war that had taken place crossed through his mind. He took a deep breath for a moment. The dinosaur fled from the scene in fear. Beet darted after it. Kakarot snapped out of his trance.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi224PXGXKM
Kakarot: “Enough”!
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW0ue21Cji
Beet: “Huh?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bEflX4uYh
Kakarot: “I already got us a boar for dinner, there's no need to kill an opponent that can't fight anymore. It's broken beyond repair, don't carry the burden of being the one who took its life.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9TnwimOpH
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtFkcwEiAc
Kakarot: “Everything we do is for survival. If we need to eat then we'll kill, if we need to defend ourselves then we'll kill. But that thing had nothing left to fight with. There's no reason to finish it off.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZmU1zBOMV
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wm25WdJBU
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27rCfm9V6U
Beet: “Right!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIlyuOhMu1
The family sat outside around a bonfire. The young Beet was tuckered out from his big day, he rested his head on his mother's lap, giving in to his fatigue. She caressed his soft hair and smiled. Kakarot kept his head low, pondering away at some troublesome thoughts. He caught a glimpse of Bulma staring and immediately looked away, hoping she wouldn't notice.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXZm92Ewod
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvy7FgFRkM
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg99Ea3NVCH
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4h3iP94CH
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjuS5PoBin
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynv0aa8Fjh
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNiSkoAo9e
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT43U4RfES3
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxU24K7yqV
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMoQN5pKfr
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfA8GXN7qT
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWEFQiPtSQ
Bulma: “Yeah, you weren't exactly a scholar per se, haha! Cramming in those study sessions must be just as new for you as it is for him.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNiP9CizNn
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhTa4yEfOM

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbq1CNedFF
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ij3vi440u
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTvh8SNXXT
“Only a fool would continue this struggle, if we surrender to their commands, at least our people will get to live another day. I'm sorry, Colonel, call off our men.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAoJVRWGXL
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUvaZ5EEix
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNyWL2w2PD
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFKZ0ujPSy
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0sK6GDVrj
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9719Je1505
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt3g2sSHRT
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK8LROtkhh
King Tuffle: “I have withdrawn my forces as you requested. We'll form an alliance like you desired and lend a hand in your fight. As long as you keep your side of the deal and let us be after it's all done.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTVQEUNL5H
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdD1HNfN1Z
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrTSKipogX
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zKbn3mbjq
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIqiwhTc3j
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OQsKhUUGP
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CsO3eNgsn
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX8Ztx8kR6
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFehDclhgCX
Bulma chuckled.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNkgX1ZiXY
Bulma: “Well, as long as we get this baby done, do as you please! You know, I'm surprised you went along with this after all.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Kbdv8Dhs
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLi5xXjjNw
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeRhykFtYR
Beet: “Momm!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YUdZbZZSc
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7EHGID15i
The busy mechanic rushed to her son's needs. Kakaort returned to his work but was almost immediately interrupted by a shout coming from outside.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnBSf9ssSN
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPIiNrsHrP
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUgRUhraDi
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qLPHp3nLH
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikHB3YPQqb
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCthsJaRdZ6
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SAWTcNpCA
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwAGEguHbV
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvKTUCbwOD
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O5xSyH0L1
Kakarot: “You're playing a risky game coming here and demanding to see me all of a sudden. I don't care what you're here for, leave my planet or I'll make you!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBC7pTEBuz
Raditz: “So, the planet does belong to you after all. That's good to hear. This will be a perfect base to rebuild the saiyan empire hehe.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z9umm4Y3G
Kakarot: “Enough!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuklMdiyG24
Kakarot flung himself at the unsuspecting saiyan. Raditz noticed at the last second but still managed to evade the frustrated warrior's attacks with ease.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPGUpkkDuy
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTLBBosAgO
Kakarot threw a fierce punch which Raditz evaded at blinding speed. His movement played tricks on the saiyan's eyes, leaving behind only an after image with the real Raditz having already got a hold of Kakarot's blind spot. He smacked him away with a mighty backhand.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0zEnrg7Uc
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9bi9GzOOB
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MZNouMFqx
Beet: “Sir!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumyatfHsA4
Beet rushed to his father's aid, throwing a kick at his uncle. Raditz flicked the child away with a strike from his tail. Beet crashed to the floor, hanging onto his consciousness.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvr191LMFS
Bulma: “Beet!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcZlpVvTEf
Raditz: “The boy will be fine, don't worry about him. That look on your face, Kakarot, it's almost as though you've never tasted absolute defeat like this hehe.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmLjgeOmbi
Kakarot's breaths were heavy, his body was petrified from fear. The feeling was instantly overwhelmed by a sudden rush of adrenaline. Before he knew it, his body stood, almost on its own. He rushed his brother once more, his blows were suddenly sharper and swifter than before. Raditz found himself putting in effort to defend the assault. Raditz blocked a kick with his forearm only to have it be immediately followed up by an elbow to his face. With only seconds to react, he stopped the attack with his palm, just barely avoiding contact. His eye twitched in irritation.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2u4wNQ4Z4
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZoQo72fu6
He drove his knee straight into Kakarot's stomach, ending his sudden burst instantly. Kakarot collapsed to the ground, his body refused to answer his demands, seemingly paralyzed. He gasped for air, struggling to speak. Raditz raised his hand, reaching towards the defeated man. Bulma yelled at him to stop as Kakarot flinched, accepting his fate. There was a sudden pause from Raditz. Kakarot opened his eyes again, only to see his older brother reaching out to lend a hand. Surprised, Kakarot used his remaining strength to force his hand up and got a grip of Raditz's hand. Raditz helped him to his feet before letting him go.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvF364ra6w
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNRSn3IjPo
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSCz4IMXIo
Raditz: “That's right, I'm your older brother, Kakarot. It may seem a little jarring, but you're from another planet, one that has long since ceased to be. You were presumably sent here to conquer this world, although I never understood why planet 4032-877 of all places.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5EgNFrmWt
Kakarot: “I always knew I was different. The people of this world made that clear to me, but I never imagined I'd be from a completely different world.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMUTWvEqXi
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncTeDqZ2U5
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO3gaPytWT
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfuEJamXvD
Raditz: “Right, I should cut to the chase. My name is Raditz, sorry for not properly introducing myself earlier. I'm not here for some late family reunion, I'm here to recruit you, little brother.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux9b92OTU9
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkfcujGB94
Raditz: “Our Race has long since been reduced to mere numbers you can count with your fingers alone. It wasn't by no natural causes however, our kind were victims of a genocide from a tyrant known as Frieza. He enslaved our people and forced us to do his bidding for decades until we finally stood up to him and waged war against him and his forces. As fate may have had it, our forces soon fell, the rebellion failed and frieza believed it to be easier to simply wipe us out for good. There were some of us however who didn't partake in the war, we were off on duty, unaware of all that went down. For years, Frieza deceived the remaining saiyans into believing a meteor had struck down our planet. We recently found out it was all a lie invented by Frieza to keep the remaining of us loyal to him. What he doesn't know is that neither of us ever took pride in serving him! But this isn't just about fighting for our freedom anymore, this is for our proud race that he dared to look down upon! Join me, brother, let us retake our honor by slaying this bastard!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzbLWW4Ilp
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Kikdqr6R
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCoXcF6D5c
Kakarot: “He took everything from you, my life is here, on earth. Besides, I've fought a war all my life, I don't want to jump into another one after we just reached a peaceful era.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDFA2Q3Dgl
Raditz: “I see.. Well, then let me spend the night with you brother, just for us to connect a bit before I return to my comrades.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFQEFbnIUh
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK0csN89yp
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ397NbbH65e
Raditz: “You have my word.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDzflOcLKb
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7bq5OUbeo
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAAO6JlV0c
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQRrADkRmu
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFETn9Ce8vb
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy8lwWSIA0
Raditz: “You worry too much, child, you're a saiyan like the both of us, a bit of a runt I'll say, but a saiyan nonetheless. You'll grow to be much stronger when you're older. Doesn't that excite you?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGELz3y2e6
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQoTDrMj40
Raditz chuckled.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpCdLx15GR
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqmTetn1YW
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfiDAkTOQj
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjgoQuZw0e
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBbOgX0MLT
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx2LqTXceY
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6MVqyU2ci
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpBba50ya0
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOppOq8StZl
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMORMganAc
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs8GgE2dSR
Bulma: “Honey, I think I'm gonna sleep early. Don't stay up too late, okay? I still don't really trust him, it's best we get the day over with soon.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSa7L3E5mQ
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJcEkcJGTY
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwDHMlWJZz
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIJUPLND52
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wZbBMgb5F
Raditz took a deep breath.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgU6HMYio2
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjEl0MJjdM
Kakarot did not question his sibling and partook in his request. The two left the house and walked out into the night sky. Raditz levitated high into the air and Kakarot followed. Raditz came to a sudden halt. He faced the night sky, illuminated by the countless stars, miles away.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmWAyfKMUi
Raditz: “Take a look, brother, the universe is infinite. Why would you limit yourself to such a pointless, finite world like this one? Don't lie to yourself, this mundane life doesn't suit our kind. We're warriors! Born to fight!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlIFBFMXrn
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoUBozGXym
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdGlOiqkf8
Kakarot: “I've never faced much of a threat on this planet, I've never truly been pushed to my limit. Earlier, when you humiliated me in our battle, I felt something. A rush, one like no other. I was going to die and yet I felt more alive than ever. What was that?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrOpufRIoh
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTKUQivueX
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKdGbEvEqv
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCM2IOKFTZ
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m6e3AnLVp
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAYmqGtbKW
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvshxtau2S
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQScBKVc2gj
Raditz: “Vaguely, I've heard about him before though. He was a powerful leader of an elite squad. Rumor has it, he was the one who led the rebellion against Frieza. Our father was a great man, Kakarot. Don't you want to take after his footsteps?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjorvs4xnWd
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSWceoLlZa
Raditz: “I leave tomorrow, I have an extra pod you can take so you can tag along. I can take you to meet the prince so you can join our alliance.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d4QfpaOGb
Kakarot: “The prince?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6JwJgjttR
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS06KM4Pwhn
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinqCnsDb0y
Bulma: “I don't understand! We're finally at peace and now you want to run off into another fight that isn't even your own?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJiPQldY36
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJC6UYtzfL
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrhghoaX0q
Kakarot: “….”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGfVnkXnHd
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0tYD2o2wZ
Kakarot: “For most of my life, I was neglected by the earthlings, I was different and there was no one to guide me through this unwavering sense of inferiority! They're like me, I want to meet them, I need to. Besides, I can't shake this feeling that this is my calling.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjboxPP9sy
Bulma hesitated to reply.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34flaOJD6z
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMwnfancxC
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UxzBN0JVN
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W7i4zFea7
Beet: “Sir!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0VtEOXUk9
He came face to face with his father.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEBxwsFuwb
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wcPmVQjT6
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ9UgBQ5ix
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkFuaQtQHb
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO1jnylgOe
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6MeX6GrFC
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFGmG8EvSM
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9e2dV7lEf
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgtaNWnbDp
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcuGeh1T5I
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZEvj047Xm
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz87o3wntDg
Raditz: “Well, aside from me, the other two saiyans are Nappa and the prince, Vegeta. Unlike us, they're top level elites with the prince being the absolute most powerful.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ6IcDNZA0
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmddbNzOC9
Raditz: “They are, especially the prince. He's the strongest saiyan in history! They're both proud warriors, like me of course. You're on your way to becoming one of us too.’
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB2uaOtKEe
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7gOpOBhAm
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXKGi9xDnt
In the span of a few hours, the pods arrived at their destination. The Prince and his comrade awaited their arrival, preparing to greet them once they landed. The pods crashed into the designated area, revealing the two saiyans aboard them. Kakarot fought to keep his composure, but couldn't help but smile after gazing upon the mighty warriors that stood before him. He approached them, taking a knee after reaching them.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsATegQTT3
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjHppoPpNI
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2zDm4rPSV
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gw57kUAve
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoIsvc8NWQ
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ3jIBgmiN
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM2lFEEv1k
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO8vrSLrko
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFubZtPF34Y
The prince hesitated.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83eOUJ8Qo5
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevIyClBxW9
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0t8oBqHl8
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7TQElNmrs
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZwiR96tHo
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd2q8V3obn
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWqFgjxIxj
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtMtOBJUhV
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTICWWUeVW5
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmm4q7zCbA
Kakarot examined his surroundings, quickly taking notice of the highly guarded area. The soldiers that surrounded them didn't appear to be saiyans, but they wore similar apparel. Aside from small animals and critters, no other signs of life were present. The vast land ahead of them was empty, only them and the soldiers occupied the space. They entered a large, elegant building with huge pieces of glass art, depicting an unknown civilization of people. They came to a halt in front of a throne with various seats. The prince took his rightful place on the throne as Nappa sat on a seat right beside, displaying a sense of authority. Kakarot and Raditz took a seat on a more mundane section, next to the Colonel in command of the Tuffle army.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcnqnncAml
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZimElOvOg
Kakarot: “Yes, he told me about Frieza and what he did to our people. I've agreed to help you crush him on behalf of the saiyan race!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iRBTnycLv
Vegeta: “You've got spirit, but it's going to take more than that to defeat this scum. You see, aside from his troublesome power, Frieza also wields a powerful army. In order to get to Frieza, we have to get rid of that pesky army first. We've made an alliance with the Tuffle race, he who sits beside you is the commander of their military in fact. Having them on our side is a big help, but we can't be too careless, we need to recruit more allies. Until we get the remaining forces, we must lay low.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy20idxiiGY
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Onz7XcUhG
Vegeta: “We've been eyeing a planet known as Tatsu. We hear their kind are great for combat, and legend has it, amongst them is one they call Amaterazu. If he's as strong as they say, forcing him to submit to our leadership could be just the advantage we're looking for!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPpKU2DDlW
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemV7Nem59h
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfZUW6juRs
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeacblC0ude
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSbSDlBO5G
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtISdk1aOl
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZZP6g5Es7
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWbqhXkrwH
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ7B7py1HP
Vegeta: “I'm having doubts about your little brother, you sure his mind hasn't been corrupted from being away from his people for that long?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLQbTChxTA
Raditz: “I'll admit, he's a bit of an oddball, but you know me, Prince, I can get him on board, just trust me. Take him to planet Tatsu with us, I'll work my magic.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0Gh4aeTZq
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmxV1Pzi5a
The pair made their way back to the room where the rest waited in silence. Vegeta took his place on his throne, continuing his speech.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDltlAd9b0
Vegeta: “Ahem, like I said, we'll be paying the Tatsu race a visit. If luck is on our side, they'll be just what we need to turn the tide on Frieza. Until further notice, we can't make too much commotion though, if Frieza finds out we're plotting against him, it's over. Now then, prepare your pods, we're leaving at noon. You're all dismissed.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlpBTMI2tm
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP06NQsWRFK
Kakarot: “Raditz, are we really going to kill all of them if they don't comply? What good would such an act even do for us?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCrPXGQmr0
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zS8tIVCZI
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScVgPFLptO
Raditz: “Listen, if we let them live, there exists the possibility of Frieza getting to them and getting information we'd rather he didn't have. We can't take that risk. It's just another sacrifice in the name of the greater good is it not? It's not their fault we chose them, but it's not our's that Frieza enslaved us after killing our kind. In order to win some, others must lose some. That is war, for someone that has lived in one all their lives, I'm sure you can understand it.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJWH2sgdLF
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxvXz6av7I
Raditz: “Now quit your whining, this is going to be your official, first real fight. Aren't you excited? Don't you want to feel that thrill again?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZzzFIR57A
Kakarot's mood took a sudden turn. A smirk fueled by excitement lit up on his face. He clenched his fists as if the mere thought of battle pumped up his adrenaline.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrR0CXi5XV
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQQwHhB3ej
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxraHWjm5Q
Kakarot: “Please, brother, let me have another go, even if it's just for a few minutes! I want to fight! I want to be a great saiyan like you, and like Prince Vegeta.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T4jNsHHJW
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4cLhZrGwH
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOoHQnvket
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9vNqPQxOK
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS131PfnTY
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCE8PdszIx
Raditz: “Hehe, what can I say? Can't help being strong! Hmm… there might be a way for you to hold your own y’know?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6NRtNCUZf
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjnW32xSAj
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZZIRa4o7g
Raditz raised his hands just above his shoulders. His ki surged into both of his palms, forming purple shaded ki spheres. He released them, shooting forward dual ki waves. He detonated them before they made contact with their surroundings.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQmLw6WGlk
Kakarot: “What was that?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFBqTWQ2lU
Raditz: “That's my special move, I call it the Double Sunday. By focusing your energy into a single point, you can let out an attack with more power than your average strike. It took me a while to master this technique, but with practice, you should be able to come up with one of your own.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBVPk2WOVU
Kakarot: “You never cease to amaze me. Tell me, brother, if Vegeta is the prince, then where do you and Nappa fall in the hierarchy as the last of our kind?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCyZoYfGZD
Raditz: “Nappa has always been Vegeta's loyal goon. That bootlicking bastard serves as his right hand man, unfortunately, he has the power to back it up too. I, however, am working my way up to a similar position. The prince has been considering giving me a permanent role in the royal force.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHWnxTAQ4b
Kakarot: “That sounds great. I hope it all works out for you. I, on the other hand, think Imma settle down with my family for good after all of this is over.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmPkYllTFw
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT1BG12yZ9
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsWYE6BW1a
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1vv4X8YSy
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlualobwYl
Raditz: “You're thinking too much about it. Stick around for longer, in time you'll find that all you seek is here with us.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx71j3trVai
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmpPB4EYVh
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDE1IO4inJ
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgWuB8iPgO
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQdoCPYupu
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6kduChoQT
Vegeta: “The Colonel has set the coordinates in our pods. The Tuffles also placed some new upgrades to these sweet rides, we'll get there in no time so be ready.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntdCpb86Wy
They all nodded in approval to the prince before entering their pods. The ships took off at blinding speeds. Kakarot observed the vast, outer space in astonishment. The wonders of the countless worlds beyond his own planet never ceased to amaze him. Before long, the pods crashed into planet Tatsu. The squad left their vehicles to confront their next targets, but to their surprise, the landscape was deserted. Not even the slightest sound of a small gush of wind was audible.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveyOx1am86
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qsjsdfPBA
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbyOQ5SAgu
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8KBsR5ugu
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa61MlTU80
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYLAXwIJCK
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsQrnjUnPi
Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vgO10D5e0
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6yc9iYPKN
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI50pGwe2f
The eyelids of the creatures twitched. Their joints cracked and snapped out of place before restoring themselves back into their original form. They all turned to each other.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVKBI0vJFM
“Your foot is on my tail!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7KVusc6uM
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBseKUjOor
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.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMXyQj4q2W
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlccOJNDCJ
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFNCCyb0Ll
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGhhfaoR8R
Vegeta: “This is your chance to feel the true thrill of battle. Join us, we're about to show these fools a real rumble! Let em have it, boys!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufIpjpT4Ib
The mighty prince smashed into a group of the battling creatures, blowing them away with the sheer force of the impact. Nappa lifted his fingers, generating an explosion that took out another bunch. A free for all battle royale commenced. Kakarot hesitated, he watched his comrades partake in the fight, feeling a sense of guilt for their actions. Raditz approached his brother.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVh92FJr6A
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xp3hRMbe9
Kakarot: “Could Frieza even hope to interrogate these guys? What information could he even get from people as barbaric and dumb as them? We have no reason to kill them anymore.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeSOOQDbg8
Raditz: “They're lowlives that serve no purpose to us or even themselves. If we don't do it, they'll just kill each other regardless. Stop listening to those stupid ideals the earthlings instilled upon you. Your mind is telling you no, but what does your heart say?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu14Q4ZP2k
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5SK9uEY6B
Raditz: “You're neglecting your own desires for something so meaningless. Go! Be saiyan! Show your pride! Us saiyans will conquer together, let them know that! I'll catch up with you later.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGBJDIbAP4
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.

Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNCXSn7aKN
Kakarot smiled.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xF9TTLCAK
Kakarot: “Understood!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pNzRszacD
The two leapt back into action, taking on the hoard, side by side. They fought together in a flawless sync, their fists complimented each other's style, fighting together as though they were one. The ground trembled once more, more violently than before. The Tatsu species halted their combat and began to flee.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQWZFGeWXh
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzw3pGHeqP
A similar looking dragon humanoid emerged from underneath. He was noticeably larger than the rest. Flames burned throughout his body. His presence alone disintegrated bystanders. Sympathy was a foreign concept to the beast as it had no trouble smashing through its own people as it approached the saiyans.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJtNMES41N
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoNZWznMBu
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBW9W7NewR
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSdXex3zTQ
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHdMBmve7D
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgZFvpzMNP
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA7pyZRr3R

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpObhBzcO9M
Kakarot jumped into action, pouring down a flurry of various strikes. Modora blocked each attack, delivering a powerful backhand in return. He knocked blood out of the saiyan and shattered some of his armor. Modora grabbed the staggered warrior and smashed him to the ground. His grip remained firm as he continued to slam Kakarot against their surroundings a few more times. His scorching hot skin left its marks on the saiyan.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0QblNcs26
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNs0FU1HiC

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOGTGQqP3W
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRpCQOCzqn
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIn2y7HpAg
Modora tossed him into the air, he engulfed his fist in flames and slammed it into Kakarot. The powerful blow shot the saiyan through the sky and straight to the ground. He stood up, visibly injured. His breaths were heavy, but to everyone's surprise, his smile remained as strong as ever. He charged back into the battle with no doubts or regrets. He rushed the dragon beast once more, this time, sneaking in a precise jab to the beast's forehead. He continued the assault with a kick to his neck and ki blast to follow it up. Modora slid back a few feet. He was in disbelief with the sudden shift in power. Kakarot's body screamed in pain, but the mighty warrior could only hear the loud thumping of his heart, fueling the adrenaline that gave him life.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgA4LO2ntY
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2ofMsMRma
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeCcT3aH46
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROedGf9eBV
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCTLGXT0fo
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHmK136Q7O
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzQ1asTEm0
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83bnE5pcNf
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmzXYSVCCG
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIpMsVKkF5
Modora levitated towards the sky. He raised his palm into the air, where it engulfed itself within a ball of fire only slightly larger than his hand. Kakarot remained on foot. He raised his hands, aiming them at his enemy. They gradually developed a purple glow, sparks of overflowing energy emitted around the glow. He lowered his hands and clenched his fists before raising them in the same position again, letting out two purple beams of energy that circled around one another before merging into one larger beam.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FbaQjrlla
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDnOJ4gZOw
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lFpvJYSQs
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbPiEqUOzI
The attacks crashed together, Modora's flames were put out almost instantaneously. The mighty beast suffered heavy damage from the blast and collapsed to the ground, steaming from the heat of the blast. Kakarot's eager demeanor faded. Raditz approached his brother in both shock and concern.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSUwdCbloM
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSFjzrPGYm

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2QYpS3ptZ
Kakarot: “I don't know what happened back there, but it was exhilarating! I never knew this is what it meant to be a saiyan.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhbXRZxhWm
Kakarot raised his arms in the air, he savored his victory for winning had never felt so rewarding. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHpxPLHbxn

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qhtZ2e2mr
Kakarot: “Huh?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCTGxIdIxV
Modora ascended from the ground with no warning, landing a clean slash with his claws on Kakarot's chest. Blood gushed out as Kakarot collapsed from the off guard attack.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw9BVOyJjs
Raditz: “Why you!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaHGEJx6CO
In a mere instant, the angry warrior smited the weakened beast with a single blast, leaving nothing behind. He rushed to attend to his injured sibling. Raditz held him up.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuLIQnmDeu
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24lwUYM4VL

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j844xMU9o

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfDg6mukH7
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6P92ddkC8
“This doesn't make sense, he could have easily taken a full power blow from that thing head on. Why did a simple attack like that nearly do him in? Hmm..I'll have to look further into this later.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJzLRX6ZSR
The ship took off, heading straight back to planet Plant. Kakarot was immediately rushed into a room with medics as soon as the ship landed.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JhVJW3iQC
Doctor: “There's not much left to do here other than a few stitches and basic medication. Are you sure his injuries were as severe as you claimed?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqKzVJDqb9
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBllQqlfR32
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNgA65s2Wr

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI3tnXG7YA
Doctor: “I will sir.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KU9NndhJx
Raditz left the room. Kakarot rested for about an hour before regaining full consciousness. He stretched out his arms. His joints felt relaxed and more flexible than ever. It was almost as though his injuries had never happened.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE6HaANT25
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl6Qrg51Tj

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d2Hp1vYMh

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9BC2Cpzpc

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY9eVUNPhb
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufQunQHbl8
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0mOA9WGDB
Raditz: “Cool it down a little. This is going to be a long process, we can't just rush into another planet without knowing if there's anything of value.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDItDtM1YmT
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohKntWk0FX
Raditz: “I've had that idea too, Frieza would never suspect we'd be hiding out in such a low value planet. To most, your world is useless, but to us, it has all the resources we need and more! But why the sudden change of heart?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj0wrOeDFK
Kakarot: “If I'm being honest, it's not really about the saiyan empire for me. When this is all over, I'll head back and leave this behind. But if I bring it back home with me, bring you guys home with me, the thrill won't have to end with the war against Frieza. I don't want to leave you guys, but I don't want to leave my family either.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jBVL5fwt9
Raditz: “If all goes well then you might just get what you're asking for. I still don't understand this obsession you have with your wife and boy though.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9FkdKJpcJ
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94FpZuPG1V
Raditz: “Of course not! Saiyans are born for so much more than that, we only mate to breed more warriors. I couldn't care less what happens after that.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEXL5uoyHp

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8cynhj0iz

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4AppZqr0k

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6IGO2OAc6

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn4rA7Yse7
The boy struggled to contain his excitement and followed his father. Kakarot picked him up and swooped into the air, flying to meet up with the other saiyans. They flew past some damaged cities with frightened citizens running around.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYc6vRXQ0Z
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdG7UC0uPL

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU5rVzzVSo
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra1l2BSS6C

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYMtGugmXf
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.

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0lKriukqO
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFSXp4Twpz
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBkzHfYNbe
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BpPHWWyQQ
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD9dHH3lxF
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT5UdZNuv0
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm72u2saAox
Raditz: “I will..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33SS7VyZh9
Raditz turned to his comrades.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7EFQAa3LF
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJqoHpnLup
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6I5lMhRL8
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cPDggBLkd
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8g9JAMQFX
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EMhpVyEeL
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMcU0UPbWU
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAl6MhHtJE
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP3zE4we1g
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiyxRolLtY
Beet: “Okay!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpteKnG3Ys
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOcvNPA9dS
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqRR5KvcCl
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uJaAYzw04
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqICe6zhhf
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnB8kdshOZ
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDKH05V9YX
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiznKqdqTK
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTROKcp4oZY
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e4u02G6zh
Raditz’s scouter went haywire. A powerful wave of energy burst out of the young hybrid's mouth. Raditz's eyes widened before jumping out of the way at the last second. He slowly looked up, immediately noticing the damaged wall from the blast.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5pXWgJfiP
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItk0mKzFHX
He gradually lifted himself up, still shaky from what he had just witnessed. Beet fell to his knees, his body could no longer take the punishment.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQehY5T9jKB
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmPKunQeE8
Beet: “O-Okay.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNbNIXPUQW
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSlCRJbmz8
Kakarot: “What happened?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXZ3YQjZ6B
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCIa5GpDqI
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre1WyKPwyC
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ0hACsrUb
Kakarot: “Fine.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTFz74hf6p
He stared at his brother for a mere moment before taking off with his son. Raditz made his way to Vegeta's personal room inside the ship. His thoughts ate away at him.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOkHrSrayF
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ8luZ9x1y
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2WtDjz0ut
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRNv74sxtr
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4gnvNlhEG
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzokCEExiN
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbfhTVvosJ
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FHDDXzZES
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6i2hJuVlM
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JZNOmOmXd
Vegeta: “The spot you seek is still open for anybody who proves their worth. With that being said, I have faith in you Raditz. I know better than to trust your word, but your actions speak louder, so swear your loyalty to me and I'll continue to keep you in mind as my ears and eyes.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltxktbZsqP
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ690zuqJbGq
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXriDk9rB7
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLmnOodWOJ
Vegeta: “On the contrary, it means he has both the potential of an earthling and a saiyan combined, and that's not even considering it's the boy of a low class like Kakarot.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmuf35bDT4
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUGscEhBAA
Vegeta: “You're a sharp one, yes I did. If the rest found out they could breed warriors more powerful than myself, my role as the prince would be diminished. I'd be seen as a joke. I'll have to birth a son of my own to take my place before that. For now however, we won't have to worry about that, I've discouraged any desire to spawn new warriors. Frieza is our only priority. The only lingering issue is Kakarot's boy.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMat8A4w9v
Raditz: “You won't have to worry about him, sir, he can't use that strength at will. It will be a while before he learns to muster up that power on his own.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzunvGSYKkJ
Vegeta: “I see, time is on our side for now, we can continue to focus on Frieza, until then, can't let the others know about the power hidden within the hybrid, I trust you'll make sure it stays that way.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtxdWdn5d2
Raditz: “Understood.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HmeDGRsf4
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM2fgqu5eg
Raditz departed from the room.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNCJWAOm6z
“Haaaa”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqc79jVuvf
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQNYeS5KWx
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0txQEo2ySQ
Kakarot: “Right.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOnjwF0Xk0
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpylEsCpDX
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhVKaI6B9t
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobHODWM5Fv
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbro81r1gN
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaG3VYRGGR
Time would fly as the saiyans battled their way through different civilizations, recruiting while simultaneously ending many. Their conquests would take a short pause in between.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQfqDURqb3
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00fJKOts63
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRGwUX5Erd
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJdqQrDIX0
Bulma: “The man of the house is gone for months with no warning and he's the one who gets to be upset. You stop by less and less every time, I don't even know why you still bother to come at this point since you're probably going to leave again this same night!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRpO0qCdJp
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB4lIKzxBI
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJANcaK5UkS
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fan48XiMc
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz5CWUcyG6
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR1dGevJUV
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSXCh72F9F
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUDylqj7my
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaCCY9V6xL
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHpNHqejh4
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVdAlZAcSR
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpadwHa6lw
Beet smiled and hugged his father. The sun couldn't have set sooner as Kakarot stood near the door, preparing to leave. Beet slept peacefully, unaware of his father's absence in the room.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xvF3QwUeK
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpByOV9DSQJ
Kakarot turned around.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77f6siDUh9
Bulma: “What happened to you? You're not the man I grew up with. Kakarot is a loving man that fought for peace. He was a man that protected and provided for his family, a loving husband and father. Whoever this us right now, I don't know you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0KqwglHdC
Kakarot: “I was everything you needed me to be because you gave me what no one else did, I never once stopped to consider who I wanted to be.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF8sdmgA17
Bulma: “I only wanted to make you happy and to make you feel safe like you did to me on the day we met! You saved me from the red ribbon army after they tried to kidnap me for my inventions, you remember, right?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x0Tv35bOM
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwHSpJBwdJ
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS8AEWR4b0
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTap9wZvXSq
Bulma: “You know what's the worst part of this all? Everytime you leave, there's this look on your face, this-this thrill! It's been making me start to think that you actually like what you do out there.. But my greatest fear, is that maybe, you always have.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2rhUaXCPX
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh0970ilBx
He turned right back around and exited the place he once called his home, flying away into the distance. Bulma took a seat on the nearest chair and broke down into tears.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnjW5tapgu
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymrjSEOQ1J
Vegeta: “Alright boys! The time has finally arrived! We've gathered enough troops and have raised our own battle power significantly throughout the process. I can comfortably say we have a shot at destroying Frieza once and for all! Colonel!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wH0h3Qhsa
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQF1UQqY0M
Vegeta: “Prepare the troops and run the plans by them again. Oh, and don't try any sort of rebellion against us this late into the party. I guarantee you we'll be the least of your problems if Frieza gets a hold of you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXucMv9x57r
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x2w1CNHtf
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN7GRyBR6l
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvQlRMPYCa
Raditz: “Getting too excited for this one might cost you. Don't take Frieza so lightly. Remember the plan little brother, we'll see each other on the other side once it's all over!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaPSHCjls9
Kakarot: “Right!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6E75xQAy8
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPbjWLAkPV
Kakarot: “Yes?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtq7HoDiVa
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1onHMUuuV3
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHukTDdnLcx
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJklGGtD4C
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEl6FsRdbu
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrfNu0CcTD
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfjVsSHliq
Vegeta: “Raditz, head to your separate pod and take your leave at once, we'll group up in the ship along with the others once the Colonel deems them ready.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4v89DNOpu
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6EBdWfham
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98IRFv80pn
Raditz turned to his brother.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo9TPlwQqX
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUSUNYrhLG
Raditz: “Right..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8ZO20Auts
Raditz took off with his pod.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquPO3qVkI5
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIrUWK2oMK
“Let me take a look.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX033AOgAOz
Beep! Beep! Beep!
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyNbFWYBQh
“Oh, it's just one of those putrid saiyans. No need to worry, I'll go greet him myself. I just hope his hideous looks don't rub off on my beauty.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk99z250of
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXzoYv3OMy
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6Jb5O14QW
He bowed in respect.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IO2B1NU9I
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMwbBkB81n
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25tN6xzBXf
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWo2c5pGl1
Raditz: “I understand, however, I must clarify that these are urgent matters for we've gathered a lot of profitable planets and slaves for him. We have tons of eager customers awaiting his approval. Please, inform the lord as soon as possible! You wouldn't want to make him upset by letting such a big opportunity slip by him.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EBpcFfqOu
Zarbon: “Hmph. I'll inform him at once. My only conditions are that you stay by my side at all times, I cannot risk you pulling anything sneaky, I know better than to trust YOUR kind.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpyr6gfhlM
Raditz: “As you wish.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxuosdK0Gs
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyMw4KHa1S
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oy0Vt0Ak2
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqkTmgu5gi
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBJeZHHPxD
Vegeta: “Okay, I'll run it all back at once so we're on the same page. Raditz will lure Frieza back to his base with his proposition.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLw4QYFVqd
Zarbon: “Take a seat over there. There's guards outside so don't even think of anything! I'll step out to let lord Frieza know about your request.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IEYPpLBe9
Zarbon took his leave.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxFe3NqxjD
Vegeta: “Once he's got sight of Frieza's ship entering the atmosphere, he'll launch an artificial moon into the sky. That will be our sign to make our move. With this distance, the scouters can't track us but we can't track them either, so Raditz needs to be the one to alert us.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq0HK2MfQj
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDzlF3H1bD
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtKxgUmHEg
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC0YuhYBlb
Raditz chuckled.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9jflkzMmf
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5KtgQcx75
Vegeta: “We'll use the artificial moon to transform into great apes and hit Frieza with everything we've got! A surprise attack to finish him for good! Frieza never leaves without at least one of his right hand men, if we take him out, we get one of them too. Less opposition for us.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ19VtFKBKh
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln0zz9gD6l
Beep! Beep! Beep!
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI2cx3SlEA
Raditz: “He's here…”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TAayl8hvx
Vegeta: “Once we've wiped that ugly tyrant from this world, we'll send in the troops to help us destroy what's left. Frieza has too many loyal goons that would stand by him even after his demise. No one gets out of here alive!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX97St7zYPN
Raditz took his stand and shot his artificial moon into the sky, smashing through the roof in the process. The commotion alerted everyone within the site.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsvKcrbAe8
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBP3HBqsG2
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6w7ZpnI1d
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65Na6ulvlT
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQSIUbh6up
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85sHP89rk9
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhPmdUmXeP
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf5qlHhR5Z
The mighty trio shot forth their attack in union, obliterating Frieza's incoming ship, causing the remains to crash into the ground. They landed their ship and reverted to their base forms.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhAg63NKhR
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6iAwUKrI1
Vegeta signaled for the others to follow his lead while the soldiers they had recruited went on to finish Frieza's army of henchmen. They approached Frieza's fallen ship. Vegeta lifted the remains.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmks91KLMM
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81vJKsYUYH
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WMyT59fP7
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykrOYYPtrA
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOJ1r6nLY6
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7O2wcqWjY
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r68XZhD3i
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuIhGRfo1g
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg2Llsvn9X
Raditz: “Damn it!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksPs1dJRev
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi8rHT1dnE
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxsnJgzDl7
Raditz shot a small blast at the ground, creating a wall of blinding smoke. He lunged himself forward at Dodoria, smashing him through the building.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkoHIbSLZM
Frieza: “I can't say I'm not impressed, I never expected a simian like you to be able to plan such a calculated rebellion. It's a shame things have once again gone south for you saiyans.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGHSv90L2I
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwj09cqDh6
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rNORaU8c2
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVEIDVHGkC
Dodoria shot a blast of energy from his mouth. Raditz caught the beam and redirected it back to the sender. Dodoria was blasted away and crashed to the ground. Zarbon approached from behind, going for a surprise kick at Raditz. The saiyan warrior caught on just before the kick connected and blocked the attack. Zarbon was left wide open which Raditz took full advantage of.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJTCAzYZZY
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y2VWlK1X5
A ball of purple energy burst from Raditz's hand, crashing into Zarbon. The impact sent him flying away. He recovered as quickly as he could and reunited with Dodoria.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB8CmQDoWB
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUgjreg2xQ
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKvYOkn1OY
Beep! Beep! Beep!
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xfy35D7dr
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H6zrYFfZr
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxMvLMtd4C
Zarbon: “Perhaps Lord Frieza made the right move in eliminating their race, their ability to grow should not be overlooked. We have no choice! We have to fight together!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieyazUMrvD
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tLSEEQje2
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ560zsn0sh5
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59uB3MoAcg
The pair went forward with their assault. Raining down a barrage of various blows at Raditz. The saiyan warrior fended off every blow, but the overwhelming flurry left no opening for retaliation. He jumped out of their reach but they immediately tracked him with a united ki blast. He blocked the blast, taking no damage from it. He took a surprise kick from behind his head by Zarbon and suffered an immediate follow up punch by Dodoria.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0KZIRg4LI
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiEFCgMRNY
Dodoria: “Why you!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X0j8UizCQ
Dodoria charged forward with Zarbon following only a few feet behind. Raditz broke a chunk from the hill and crushed it into dust with his hand. He smirked and threw the left over rubble from the rock into their eyes. The impact shattered their scouters and blinded them temporarily.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtxMwqtnZj
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlzZl7WR0i
The saiyan warrior struck Dodoria with a knee to his head. He followed up his kick with a blast that completely blew off his head, killing Jim immediately. Zarbon desperately rubbed his eyes, removing the irritation.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82D3tJEWu2
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!”

Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1LdQqlKdW
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.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MTMi97U8k
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MyjucyMYW
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgroVh7vboG
Frieza: “I don't need any more of your little demonstration. I'm aware now that if I commit to this fight I could come out on top perhaps, but the other monkeys would likely intervene and ruin it for me. There's no purpose in entertaining this any longer.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l1hZe6oLs
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAhEC3PHti

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV79KJmnl0
Vegeta: “Huh?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWMAMcXCQW

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwuKzOLDOw
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByThn3875u
Zarbon crashed his arm into Raditz. He pounded the struggling warrior, knocking blood out of him with each blow. Raditz retaliated with a kick to his face. He leaped into the air and scattered a barrage of ki blasts at his monstrous opponent. Zarbon quickly recovered from the attacks and charged forward, headbutting Raditz in his face. Raditz returned the attack with a headbutt of his own. Their fighting took a short pause.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6WKdMgcFp
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNQ7SuAFYp
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6aUyd50wq
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zdSeBzkE6
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBrthGhqYm
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xbf1X6h29
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnopP1uTU30
The tyrant’s body went through a terrifying metamorphosis. His limbs enlarged at different rates and proportions. His power level burst through the roof, the saiyans began to lose their composure as fear took over their consciousness. Frieza ended his transformation, revealing his true strength.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbtlNHKxDN
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”

Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RfllriGgF
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9MxhY41T0
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF5TOekDRR
His body grew as he morphed into the beast known as the Oozaru. Zarbon watched in fear as his opponent grew to a massive size. Raditz stomped on him, killing him immediately. He spotted his allies, noticing their struggle.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1ZFR30MH0
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPhZjYO0wb
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupZlgPzpjh

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63ZIte7UdW
Without further hesitation, the others hit Frieza with an all out blast of their own, caught in between two powerful attacks, the mighty emperor suffered a devastating blow. The smoke cleared and Frieza collapsed to his knees.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHauSTzkuE0
Frieza: “Y-You-”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8knV7qxnA

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxAfojebbM
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJWbNty7H5
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9QISmcTlR
Kakarot: “Not again!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdo6ljEpBJ
Frieza lifted his hand, creating an explosion around them. The force knocked them all away, providing enough distance for him to safely transform. He went through another change, taking on his true form. All of his prior injuries healed.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeTIs0Ctqo
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil0W15BeDo

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLVKg5jagC
Faster than any of them could track, Frieza shot a swift and small beam from his finger. Kakarot watched helplessly as the beam headed straight to Vegeta.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Cj2Rie46
Kakarot: “Look out!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2Z78zAldP
He reached his arm out, desperately trying to get a hold of the prince and move him away. His efforts were pointless as the beam approached faster than he could close the distance. The laser hit, Nappa collapsed to the ground.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfh8xABJgu

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbStIoWdFdl
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZheyznrha

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o7r363AW9
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdZmJAQXDx
Kakarot commenced the battle by charging headfirst at the cynical tyrant. He lunged forward with a ferocious punch. Frieza dodged the attack with minimal effort. Raditz and Vegeta soon followed along, rushing Frieza with a flurry of attacks of their own. Frieza fended off the attacks with ease, demonstrating his sheer dominance. Kakarot continued his assault. The three attacked together in union. Explosions and bloodshed filled their surroundings as the soldiers from both sides continued their brutal war. Frieza raised his hand, he blew the opposing saiyans away with a wave of force. They retaliated with a ki blast shot in union. Frieza leaped into the air, evading all three at once. Kakarot rushed at him, swinging multiple fierce blows. Frieza dodged them all, returning a kick to his ribs. He spit out blood. The blow left him stunned from the pain. Frieza elbowed his cheek, sending him crashing to the ground. Kakarot shut his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth as he groaned in pain. He felt his broken body struggle to stand, and yet, against all odds, he stood. Vegeta dove straight in with a kick. Frieza caught his leg with his tail. He smirked as he watched the powerless saiyan attempt to free himself from his grasp.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7HnEDBjpJ
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEQN7yLowS
Vegeta shot a ki blast to the tyrant's face. Frieza flicked the blast away with minimal effort. He delivered a heavy punch to Vegeta's liver. He spit blood and gasped for air. Frieza tossed him into a building and followed it up with an explosion set off by his eyes.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjClBHMYDo
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY40PB2Af8G
Raditz unleashed his most devastating move. Frieza stopped it and dispersed the attack with a single hand. He flicked his hand towards himself, pulling Raditz closer with telekinesis.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBsIEwKJEV
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciTu8xlVmt

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGz6Kv0Dzb
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz1E7NGRUK
Frieza: “You again!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU32hjmO5Zx
Kakarot's face dripped in blood, his gaze was tense and focused on Frieza and nothing else. His fury overtook his consciousness, there was no room in his mind for words, only action. He viciously swung at Frieza, his blows ripped through the air. Frieza blocked a punch.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVN4hxyNYv
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7bEjgqsgL
He yanked his arm and kicked the back of his head, following the attack with a whip from his tail. Kakarot crashed into a nearby building. He burst out from the rubble, charging at Frieza yet again.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmtLaYM40F
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHcWBNxKnO
Kakarot landed a knee to Frieza's gut. He balled up his hands together and slammed them into Frieza's back. Frieza fell straight down but caught his balance before crashing against the ground.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AyGEP2SuO
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc50iMWUuSB
He lifted his arms, large chunks of rubble went flying towards the saiyan. He smashed through them with his bare fists. Frieza used the distraction to land a mean headbutt to his face. He kneed his gut and punched his jaw. Kakarot was powerless against the tyrant’s onslaught. He took every blow head on. Frieza kicked him into a nearby hill, smashing it into pieces. He flew after the airborne saiyan, juggling him through the air with multiple blows. He delivered another punch to his face, knocking more blood out. Kakarot gradually turned his head back, pushing through Frieza's fist. He grabbed his arm and twisted it. Frieza yelped before getting punched in the mouth. Kakarot grabbed him from his face and zoomed to the nearest building, slamming Frieza's head into it. Frieza kicked him away, creating some distance.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrpQCophMO
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYPv35Rcyr
Kakarot's pupils were bright gold, his power shot up as his hair grew. His might shook every nearest planet. Raditz looked up from where he laid.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9QurxfhEF
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEq8irsdh1
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzxUJP8qKR
Kakarot breached the distance between him and Frieza, landing and uppercut to his jaw. He followed it with a hook to his cheek and a knee to his chin. Frieza blasted him away. He sent forth and endless barrage of blasts, each exploded upon colliding. Kakarot began to force his way through the blasts. Fighting through the pain. He reached Frieza who immediately backed away upon seeing him appear through the attacks.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bPG5Rjgnn
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrOAw0AczF
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg8Nc6rfnP
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsoHsjNViK
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhfmAELtIa
Vegeta: “N-No. The super saiyan legend, he's supposed to be a golden warrior. This is different. It's hard to believe, but the one who stands before us is no longer Kakarot. Somehow he's managed to channel the power of the Oozaru without going through the transformation. Kakarot's been overtaken by his own strength, right now, there is no friend or foe, only combat.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsEHFhUkMZ
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRpa72dkPX
Vegeta: “I'm not entirely sure, but I've seen it before, a saiyan gets overtaken by their own power and leaves us with no choice but to be put down. I… I don't think we can stop Kakarot's rampage.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmq8FRj0Gf
The two clashed back and forth. Trading blows. With each blow Kakarot grew more powerful and terrifying. His body shut out the pain of his injuries, focusing all of its energy and adrenaline on the fight. He rushed Frieza with a punch to his gut, slamming him into a mountain, smashing it upon crashing. Frieza froze him in place in a sphere of energy and kicked it away like a ball. He repeatedly kicked it around before spiking it to the ground. Kakarot rose from the ground. His armor was shattered and his body was battered. He put his arms out and shouted. His power spiked as the planet trembled. He clenched his fists and opened his mouth. A ball of energy formed in his mouth. Frieza raised his finger.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tHpQCMgkm
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b6g0hBA9P
A massive sphere of energy released from Frieza's finger. He tossed it downwards towards Kakarot. Kakarot fired a blast from his mouth. The attacks clashed, each pushed back against the other. The force of their struggle shook planets and stars. Frieza's supernova was claiming the edge, gradually forcing its way to its target. Raditz leaped into action, launching a special attack of his own to push back against the world ending wrecking ball. Vegeta soon followed.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEB38bAj9a
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Gz90XQZS
The prince unleashed his ultimate attack to support his allies. The three gave their all against the tyrant’s most fearsome attack yet. The planet crumbled, cracks formed on the ground. Soldiers were crushed by rubble or consumed by the planet's scars. Frieza's body bulked up.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHUig04Uaw
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhr8Z1JCiE
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxwFUbubJX
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FQDl8bPDU

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXYtsD0eWm
“Haaaaaa!!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRZWxPbEff
The trio used the distraction to find an opening in Frieza's attack, piercing through it and hitting the tyrant head on with their combined power. The destructive force of their beam sent Frieza crashing down.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDky1bLBJ89

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sDRR8vPBY
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkittco6jKT
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t58Eyit1k

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT0rEXE96w

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAFetBvTPg
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM7whGHocd
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVctH8Iepl
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdNmQhUfYf
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbA962h0Ii
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMmkVCYXPJ

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYFMAmTe9r
Frieza used the last of his strength to shoot one last attack at Kakarot while his back was turned. Kakarot felt a new sensation, a 6th sense that allowed him to feel the attack heading towards him. He turned around and punched the attack away. He approached Frieza at blinding speeds. He stood in front of him for a moment, looking down at him.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLnD0EtlJA
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMWZR52oI6
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.

Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoo4NOsDhF
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbxCYjTwxM
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtJo3jNaYF
Kakarot: “It's done…”

Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzKD9PS6BW
Vegeta ascended into the air.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffgCX5c5dM
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnicaKQBCX
Their military began to retreat back to the ship. Frieza's men fell to their knees, some begged for their lives, others preferred to perish than betray their lord. Everyone regrouped in the ship. The ship took off into space, leaving not too far away from the atmosphere of the planet.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMinCnrIZ9
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruY9pnEedX
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BY7FKqVOK
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVsriTj1x7
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnx4DIprNi
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Uj2jnZMb
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR8fF8U3PX
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGsyV6qrvV
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHLCMssSOQ
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccY2Q785KI
The Colonel smirked after securing his success and retreated to another room. Vegeta on the other hand, couldn't find it in himself to crack as much as a smile. Kakarot took a seat.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CzYdaKCa6
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy3f4pNK97
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnvhy4HlsP
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOX33yW8t0
Vegeta glared at Kakarot. His gaze was locked in on him for the entire ride back home. The ship landed on earth. After all the action, everyone was fatigued and mentally drained. They took the rest of the day off to rest. The next day couldn't have come any sooner. Raditz reported to the “Battle Station,” as per Vegeta's request earlier.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG3B7kajVI
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7XQWSRvdc
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeQ97I8OyN
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskxN0ZPjKB
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzemw0NKwIg
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVV3MtioOb
Vegeta: “With Nappa gone, his position has been left open. I'm providing you an opportunity to seal the deal for good and sit by me as a conqueror.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbjytHPzHa
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qL7XQHWtK
Vegeta: “I can read you like a book, Raditz, you're a notorious schemer. With Kakarot rising in the hierarchy, you've gained the perfect opportunity to seize the throne from me by his side and let your bloodline rule for centuries to come. But I'm telling you know, it's a plan doomed to fail.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB0IRXtiWZ
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRJtqjG9l0
Vegeta: “Even now you play your cards to end up on the winning side. Kakarot isn't a leader like me, he couldn't even bare the responsibility of ruling his own planet after having conquered it. On top of his uncontrollable power, he's unstable and ultimately unfit to rule. Your empire would fall apart and eventually all that power would mean nothing. If you want to win, you stick with me.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WxXU3Peym
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPM7fl3eTu
Vegeta: “I know your real problem, Raditz. This isn't about you choosing which side benefits you most, you've simply grown soft. His earthling nature has rubbed off on you, but both you and I know that this mentality is his greatest flaw. One that will cost him dearly one day, one that will cost YOU everything. You're a saiyan warrior, you know what the right choice here is.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntUShu2MjL
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUXT7DC2sq
Vegeta: “He has a soft spot for you, the same way you talked that fool into joining us is the same way you’ll convince him to leave for good. I can't afford having him show me up, it would permanently bruise my reputation. I need you to get rid of him one way or another. This is your final task to secure your spot next to me.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoxPuQd544
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY1Cy5hZzW
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OhghyMwbs
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsGwPEYwXc
Kakarot: “I've avenged our people, I should feel great and yet I feel more conflicted than ever. Everything was great and now I'm back to square one.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGjcNxQ5Go
He looked at his fist in shame.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk6Y3Yauss
Kakarot: “That moment, it felt so strange. Losing myself in battle is a common occurrence, but in that moment, I feared nothing, not for my life or even the life of my comrades. I almost killed my own brother. I'm lying to myself, the truth…. The truth is I loved it… but it scared me.. Bulma… Beet, they're probably still waiting for me. I haven't seen them for a while.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkPWwEexQ0
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegQxhaxC64
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxxiYBjyqb
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOFwDPD2K6
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0RfdpLYXK
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgor2Oj9ma8
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8iMX4DFss
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX56knsvt5N
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hMKkXKBnI
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyM7F7PxeS
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk68kZXBT5Y
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeAuJL9c3D
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH0OBMhD2I
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFzZnGccJS
Raditz: “One of Frieza's goons, Frieza had many connections… I guess they didn't waste time in tracking us. They damaged my scouter too, I couldn't get a hold of you sooner..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjfUwKbOvv
Kakarot rushed inside, disregarding his brother. He tossed aside the rubble that he once called his home. After some digging, he found Bulma and Beet, laying still on the ground, stained from their own blood.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6pkAnpi9s
Kakarot: “No…”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpQsbt4pRu
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUzhJfz3iQ
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YB5Ufjkxz
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmSlTZvpRo
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9UgfJR8zK
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXz97UheYO
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNrB6MTe0d
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJA8vGW70r
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI6bApeBrl
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUboQ7f4MHr
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSQddyrI3u
Kakarot sensed an incoming attack but was too late to react. Raditz shot a blast through Kakarot's back from behind, piercing through his liver. Blood dripped from Kakarot's wound and mouth. He laid on the ground, struggling to move or speak.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAwnNtkM9R
Raditz: “I really wish it didn't have to come to this, brother, but the prince is right, being around you made me soft, I had to let go of you if I truly wanted to succeed.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRtvXscnlI
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwPhV3bBZ8
Raditz: “Back then when we destroyed the Tatsus, I learned something. Our power levels drop in moments of vulnerability, even the weakest of warriors can fatally wound the mightiest in such a scenario. To think your biggest weakness would be your heart in the end haha! Let my words sink in while you draw your last breaths.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeprJekgG9T
Raditz flew away, leaving his brother to die. Kakarot helplessly looked at his deceased family, unable to speak or move properly. The rain left him colder than his body was already getting. He groaned in pain for a while before his groans gradually died out and his eyes fell shut.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHv3bN3bJd
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWidHvHKl1
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMtnokTE1o
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEkkOuesWX
Vegeta: “That's what I like to hear! I'm a man of my word, from here on out, you're my right hand man.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFsSv2awUv
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5zNvqnv8X
Raditz bowed down in respect.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvwW6V5YvE
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPCgBSfZTr
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiyqRpvk4l
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPKyBvs2rz
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQxphElALN
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFAEyBRD3L
Vegeta: “Well, looks like we have a mess to clean up. In his condition, he won't last very long. Assist me, Raditz, let's make sure he stays down this time!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3x1PZgA63
Raditz: “Right!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ru6EFZRy1
Kakarot: “I-I don't understand! What happened t-to the saiyan pride! We were friends working towards the same goal! What about N-Nappa!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv0EWdw7tT
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNkJGcsb0K
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCiO4ajysC
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFtFs5qPhz
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDd0P8Ayw6
Tears ran down his face.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAqXxn1Eaj
Kakarot: “I gave up everything to be a part of you all! B-But you're just like everyone else.. power, control, that's all that really matters to you huh? Saiyan pride is nothing but a load of bullshit! It was never about Frieza or the saiyans was it?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsG2rycFD9
Vegeta: “Of course not! The strong survive and the weak die. Those not willing to do anything to remain at the top and nothing less, are mere weaklings simply waiting to die!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4JsOJic8E
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiarbG0DvR
He shot a blast at his fellow saiyans. They evaded his attack and rushed to attack him. Vegeta and Raditz attacked from left and right, overwhelming Kakarot with various combinations. He fended off the attacks but had no room to counter. Raditz kicked his injured liver, staggering Kakarot. Vegeta used the opening to land a straight right to his face. The saiyans kicked him away in union. Kakarot crashed through a wall from the building. They immediately continued their assault, following him outside, raining ki blasts on him like the rain that poured from the clouds. Kakarot struggled to free himself from the pressure, taking the blasts head on. He got a sudden burst of power and used it to hit Vegeta with an energy blast that knocked him away.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10wqbK30Sv
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7prIj2jRNq
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RvrfDlyO2
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1ZSPYjWEZ
Raditz smirked.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiHJlAxsjP
Raditz: “I w-wont lie to you.. I really did care about yo-u.. Br-other. B-But that love made me weak. The w-weak don't survive.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFO8Qbhjpu
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA3tsw2cuB
Vegeta came in with a kick that knocked Kakarot off of Raditz. Kakarot got on his knees and rested his hands on the floor. Tears ran down his face. He laughed hysterically while simultaneously sobbing in a disturbing fashion.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJEiCHXkSP
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUZc5oXkG0
He pounded the ground.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUO5J1rQ79
Kakarot: “I should thank you, brother, you've opened my eyes! Both of you have! I spent too much time caring about meaningless, worthless things. I'm Kakarot, the greatest warrior that ever was and ever will be! I was only born for one thing and one thing only!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdXXfFtJe1
His hair grew in length and his pupils turned golden. His eyes developed a red, deep outline. He stood up, his demeanor was more relaxed from before and he had no trouble standing.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExszrfQrhc
Kakarot: “To fight!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy5TdYyTzF
He dashed at them, striking them both at the same time. He grabbed Vegeta from his face and slammed him into the ground. He then turned around and elbowed Raditz in his eye, followed by a knee to his nose. Raditz held his nose in pain as it leaked blood. Kakarot punched a hole through Raditz's gut. He spit blood, holding onto his brother's arm.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnEA4NZxNz
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMfRWXCm2h
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zu01DNKh9
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0owhlEI2g
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SJu7HIoSc
The prince launched a fierce attack. Kakarot deflected it with his bare hands. He rushed to Vegeta, ramming into him with a headbutt. He kicked him away and shot a blast to follow up. Vegeta came crashing down, struggling to stand. Kakarot dropped his knee into his spine.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q40z4aSZM
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxVtanvPCl
Kakarot grabbed him from his hair and slammed his face on the ground repeatedly. The pain in his wounds diminished as his strength grew. He got off the prince and turned him around to face him.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB131jAnDS
Vegeta: “You don't… want to do this, Kakarot.. I didn't want to tell you… but we've discovered these magical orbs known as the dragon balls… I have one in my possession.. The plan was to use them to make me immortal, but we can restore your family instead, you won't be able to do this without me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFSnKiiFXA
Kakarot: “You still think this is about my family? Or even your betrayal? I've spent my entire life, devoting myself to other people. I spent my childhood wanting to be accepted and a portion of my early adulthood fighting a war to live a peaceful life with a woman. I dedicated the rest to a family and eventually to you guys. I thought this was all for me, but it was always for everyone but ME. But now, this isn't about the saiyans, this isn't about my family, or even about your betrayal, this is about me! There's nothing left to distract me from my real destiny and I've never felt more satisfied! So go to hell, Vegeta.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vfn8trWQK
Vegeta: “Wait!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit098MknsC
Kakarot finished Vegeta with a blast, leaving his corpse to rot. He looked up at the sky, showering in the rain. He smiled brighter than he ever had. The universe's greatest warrior had been born.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Vu8eqlCI
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNopyEOPwe
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrTiRJrTOz
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhyGkZBtqj
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.

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!”

Shenron: “As you wish."
