Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4etTHIh1M
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemD2XePWFj
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2BKk3nFfj
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4eQm65T0R
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWiGFfXEk1
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4owPMmu6h
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd7FTKoQEm
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbm2GkBxxA
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmGqV4A9Jb
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm13rrG82lc
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2ATLyxbH6
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWO5jxgNhA
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6iRZ9sypi
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6OCMqsx8v
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCXoYZRoMb
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP60wndAuB
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYsNeAvn4Y
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG8EDReufs
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgNjFWGnzw
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmka5c6VLEN
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dQADAnf1Q
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK9WAmfs3X
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU57a60Wzex
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf59myjgb8V
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1ENnTwGCg
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pOoboj14f
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMXMIJCHpt
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalaPgWG6LS
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f9IC9uWwO
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FlPA4heNj
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwG2uh5qOM
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6DXktBpzk
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNMotcSgt8
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kphgdBapd
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6KZRKR6pW
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7wNevf5j6
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yjMfkIvhV
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8EfMUmis7
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnBSctIPTT
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pk2vQdewI
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RNlVoKXQH
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGQ0swaz4k
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rwuafjJw8
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6ns8Ptajy
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphQb9jOrXF
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVX8RxQIeq
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4nDBNdtQI
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEBkRLuRiL
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf7T8dCkMD
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh59zWeJ1p
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiWgf2oNco
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4QMBZRDzi
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbYCH1NJ0G
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAXa4uI9sT
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC7lqfGUUk
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtbk1iuVNU
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZOWSV3H5R
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxTScQm08d
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8riMVyHhLg
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53Yuf75O12
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgvA2wndZl
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJYiTU1yAC
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxnyUvLd6E
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO70rhYjt7
Beet: “Haaa!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxKvWoDsWQ
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW42mPJGtcR
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNI6q9ybcn
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRxlRbtxlb
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7f3SrGSdO
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe1VITzJm8
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGBaoZQHqi
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-”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VkOz7uHYY
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g9EWD6crR
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd9paczRf9
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQTTNJdalc
Kakarot: “Enough”!
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHWryMV5wz
Beet: “Huh?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmpGppP2S5
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFfBlu3Olk
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAKUzrOJvi
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHezljCBvFn
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxM8nOheXf
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4Fke9E4Aq
Beet: “Right!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk9mZJgzPY
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhsY3iJRy3
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5BhJOtxI5
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUE2RbpNzz
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKQm6Vw6DX
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzasQik9zlj
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmYZ32b8Nr
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpqVGdXAsl
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sUSPSVKyy
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavh34hEpN1
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZYtyuMG2Q
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD0sPamr9m
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnTbD7CEjF
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYqRZdDLcB
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehzOIfcZ54

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmngOh0wFL0
“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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMa5kSVQb4
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKswIorVjuK
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyStuGLRu1
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8WpnJYqmt

“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcTwP5wVwi

“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”

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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡintfVi7s9Y
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHNXyLUzoG
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.

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrNXjeGTvh

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6rrepDBQb

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1kOUdobf5
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZUWMOjdOX
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C6eoML22Y
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YNyDK9VPr
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgooGYbxIl
Bulma chuckled.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaKYXfjiHi
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e0KPQssTj
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4671jmvBY

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGD4XglIw0

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA9IGKT7Go
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0sYGs5ZoB
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub2nysFfDd
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5lbVTHHex
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJaIanSCIa
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vqedzTcGb
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNVQBcUBdh
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUlEz1eFCN
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W6V4aQIyP
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr1bC3F9pR
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeleVM7Ttl
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rDjelAqjj
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2wIUScvo6
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHynOAGOLP
Kakarot: “Enough!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0QxFDbNOk
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PDvscxhJg
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvorqXOBryr
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vQKGL9kAe
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhFfDg08Qh
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxM8GfIAyC
Beet: “Sir!!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAg7OmH9q1
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3cr8oOd5T
Bulma: “Beet!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt5LAAC550
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO29sr23LD
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiMajCuv3x
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dFNh4betF
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgYkR58PkD
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsHpkv979e
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0FAaF5w2H
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCrHWF0bZ6
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMIBtl3rqC
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHkqhUeRji
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCvCMDYVYP
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pm4cwZf4D
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ428yOzufDt
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GC1x2q841
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHskiaCQoA9
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl4aMgyNjE
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3ziFq4dG0
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KdL2w45ep
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI4Ct0Asx7
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfKVz4nal2
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9taoSdGOF
Raditz: “You have my word.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdquk66YUx5
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtjB5EagNy
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo8gTCagUW
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQpTs5JQqS
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN8aBDB6D3
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVfa6LmzER
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?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY6B7zDuSr
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3rqnIkTs9
Raditz chuckled.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAifxeP7Cck
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKsn9RCbFt
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6KB7tfDxd
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B5Vffbb50
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcFq7547O7
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgm3MIwcRm
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZWlmiG5IK
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudwKmRKxD5
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDqZ2FmXBS
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUBfxHQi4i
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPxGPFs54X
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS5FQNj3Zi
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTFeFKPzoV
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQMqDGUhHM
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG6k1dUry7
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYGSIQNQaX
Raditz took a deep breath.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSFYgOHW7i
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISWqR7bmE9
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGB0ATtwTz
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjZLdo6wJy
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMKeIh531L
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCA665Aht7
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?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdsh4Pi9M6
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJxBMuB3wG
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pyEWY969z
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAo1sHaQL9
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9yJqQKqPb
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBYrtXAGA3
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY949LaJ48s
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTLoem1CT5
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?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMFpoqr9TE
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡautOL261HX
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i8qdeI6EH
Kakarot: “The prince?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwviiJ7jklP
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcWHURmp9t
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe6DHsKgYu
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?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUrEsLmtMR
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY1jkiC1hW
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pF1J0rRxs
Kakarot: “….”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEKJ4ZkbF0
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerMvFjdsGl
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2pZOlnf5x
Bulma hesitated to reply.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tyoIsCOE3
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhmkkF1TvU
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrXaGojWMQ
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJlF0B4u16
Beet: “Sir!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6bgzV8kk5
He came face to face with his father.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qkAAXi8FK
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMGIgfRu1a
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Wo383Lap
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGcfYdW3Mj
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhyavT9nwL
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjMFyyF6CG
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zAWvKPvuH
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfwPoB5M16
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitNG1YsSUV
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkUpMXp2Ok
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEPvnoFkde
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MEfvXPbs2
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9rIm4jCLP
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM0s5MadI2
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.’
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW7d1scPAe
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoXyrSYTyv
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0VgdTr5fM
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwyNL3X2Hm
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZYbzjV9IJ
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7MhqPYaOO
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpBhIq2KIU
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1zQ3GnzKB
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uwxt8VhOL
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp33qUeaLIe
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrAib4td8C
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkDM7mEBCI
The prince hesitated.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN7dqazkpJ
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgc07fO5WH
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJk6uk8Mbv
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXe7Zhf0kT
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXy3xnwsfE
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzNg4D2yTI
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVIymmgW3u
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tg52NEoxJ
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOjco0yUHh
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIGR6zMmoR
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvz5bHcjQx
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkGo1mDadH
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcwTwmJJm4
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOebJDjwNsa
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU0U25GFi0
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcEn0PsbRw
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb1qX7IhP2
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHaS38Y2R5
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1IZhby0JS
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SLsHd7K0b
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtQEI771ZF
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg3ksIvr3M
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjscJ0DWAEb
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA1u4TeseF
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?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpxkcQNEDl
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4XH7IV1x8
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnLmTONl5E
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0FVT1w8aB
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUjcRPtoHS
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEvSJMOjDm
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?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa4FCqlV8V
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1ptXEns4M
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXsuRCVRtY
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjKHT0EZoW
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cKaakDPSl
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?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP6dN1StGO
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUDR4vlgQk
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGDawg3bju
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q7x7wGhQh
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqdy9o4ubH
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsolr5rUMmw
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwSkGSQzJ0
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTd3dKxjRl
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0IK0qjpdq
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TgxxEvBSI
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?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJyawuXcE4
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN8jE1EbUy
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ0d9ygT5n
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmuPevc0QC
Kakarot: “What was that?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZUvIeKKB7
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWg8tY0OKp
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?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGAOoGIqjL
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWs340HlTR
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO2tQ1EIAu
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf6uTFMneT
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJjeaiaKDC
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg829jhhBp
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb0G3OYFgM
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHIWTxMgyn
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qJUa0BoVO
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EkD9Qi3VM
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORbSbqZzCg
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokVK9UfoiP
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29OG0lOV6E
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPwqpiidR0
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nc9RIBiUv
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN6lpNsvGz
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF0ZBqUX5C
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptNzTlRCoz
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d0HRL9Cl3
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXBOrR61xJ
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTyW94rulX
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlLmUcwmfb
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOeoOfQpTt
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfChCa3b9cv
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrJYim1T1R
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mScAZXjJa
“Your foot is on my tail!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4DHUp08aw
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsu9oIzOfN
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjUeqdPdDb
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2ecR01M8L
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoJWDUxBkt
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1irkFIO9Z
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y7oP83ncn
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegTxOdgJoQ
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcgpZEBdZT
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYffbfHzDcv
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?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWhfnAzB4k
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgWZWOviKM
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRmLL56CAB
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx8glOL3ak
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DMBXoO9zd
Kakarot smiled.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs5C0P8Lxi
Kakarot: “Understood!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X3lnpQZ8S
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu25vPSYagY
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscx8daXojY
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6xPHDp9O0
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjqRiljHo5
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6YJwBREvd
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4XQVBPtEu
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfm5OnJKwQ
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPoKVofebm
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXTBt7kEmq
Vegeta chuckled.

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIFBwAcJkd
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRLgW9R1Y6
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gMXCE3hMz
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr2phK9eu3
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdDX2wY9ZQ
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1zIwSJVKs
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckfeMdgmvQ
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb0ScF6ALS
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ1ccT2xlZ
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.

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOAbU911cG
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlNxteKL3P
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFLkRBBwDt
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM0U6pPUGk
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMQ2QGxYJC
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpWy3LcS2I
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O5omm0gPI
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscEkI6W84f
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmdrxHwO0C
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVfbDnBUL3
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z83fDRpTD
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYjHqaasZF
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcZCyQwDFB
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14jyAQ8Y1i
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybGrYbSwsZ
He took a peek at his injuries.

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPo3KuoMfe
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ME2Z9OG5a
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyAnjfd0Cp

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeJ08iDKFn
Kakarot: “Huh?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto5Es9uD4g
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bGAfoMhP5
Raditz: “Why you!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgiYQve1FI
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjoYcgBmb3
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj68yFclWSl

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qEdiUAW2P

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDceCYNY8KY
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbMOcOwoxM
“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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ2FgsvMyX
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECsumpvfsW
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?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QBCVA7bqs
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4jlaho7zc
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMPdspaSm1
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaQNXUEGWY
Doctor: “I will sir.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm9X1Z62Lv
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiRDhIPqvt
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACVDg7fZTf

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtXsS3UurT

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpmptA59w9

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rUhTjcvOC
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzZqDO2pub
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRmVhhrCRP
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILe8ZwWyUK
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZLpzyEegV
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy2aXPooxd
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWMuklCTkb
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?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrSthTZ1dK
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrzoVRWbjB
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tm8iX6QmI
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmsJh1TNU8
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdYM2wYXCu
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyfmME7GLR

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwrit4smOL

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcLzYkQ73S
Kakarot turned away to face the door.

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs8HGBQqrm

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsROh6DYy0F
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyv2mIY9sW
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMwv2ZnOVn
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIyjGhSelE
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMgN6BXHHV
Kakarot: “They'll be fine. Humans tend to fear what they don't understand. Our family won't cause any harm, they're here to help this torn planet. You'll understand when you're older.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsHHIFcaa6
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.

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDxkon2ZAX

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtIqyQrwox
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNQexkriTy
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CsoeSjypu
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTseJ7Ky3L9
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w8QWSVgR7
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vcm3t9Q3K
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y6cDVEZNI
Raditz: “I will..”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoIJqZRwZm
Raditz turned to his comrades.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl71APVUqHY
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeCwO4LKE1
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCXrWcATYF
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsjy8ZGGvx
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswqhdS6Da8
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyySbupARh
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb1eHP2EwN
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLvkrHXDTn
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvirG16uX7
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoxupWXWoR
Beet: “Okay!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn60tLJd0t
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4hoVQZXMZ
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7MZDYQ6XG
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAl7tU699L
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4imLhEhO6
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBKAzSQYdl
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONwMzEcAOh
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQM1jxg72I
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRloTnUnNx
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccyEa4pzKT
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFGAwLsl1y
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5626IC7cF
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nTkc2BaMl
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxGSaK63Sl
Beet: “O-Okay.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIzidBQ5wZ
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYifkWFQJBI
Kakarot: “What happened?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OJEeLhfcx
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4pEk9vfLe
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vXHqIgHcX
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpkPpXm042
Kakarot: “Fine.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXwvOmqE4W
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9C8l8qv1d
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbKRjWfZdY
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrJPgjn6fE
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGdlQLNEQA
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qZr8mMtf7
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNea9SFU31i
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwCeCKaouF
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAfYNPCMkN
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbfhqXNww2
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmoNUttIeu
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp2WQQjL1s
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcxL8Lia1Z
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UJdVk77Uq
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEkRephrKi
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeouxpGmRt
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrwlc24G3l
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Za6e7suX
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hjb2PIsB4
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjpAJcCYII
Raditz: “Understood.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k6Xn3Ztlw
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKEIysmgH9
Raditz departed from the room.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumguHTHvOz
“Haaaa”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDjyaGbplw
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U0MB7sfj5
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk8xj6lv3Z
Kakarot: “Right.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHk49Htj82
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEskzYr72Rv
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC70R06BNh
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7SIgwWMru
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW4xPeSAb3
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLUYLjyOJ1
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTta3CLhA0
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFhAERkEcT
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae5uNaafD6
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7ykALt5WI
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuXwoDsDb4
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPG0GA2MrR
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOClgwHtNtX
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytbwb5rNaL
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbpKYqqjoU
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6j1bWiIti
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI9CWwFq5H
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zhowOxtw3
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx5xsfYhNH
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAo3RQKOYR
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUVMozoeID
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3uuUWxEN4
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPCLh14HQh
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPXZ1lM3h5
Kakarot turned around.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvpZB4WV4G
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWsHvrUnAe
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QODSSiJvR
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?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwihjcH6Tsh
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxqvEFnzpQ
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh7OOpu5Bq
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7IrMFO3Rr
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9XCrIZvPE
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQYJLDl9TA
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDLthDocI4
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwXg6umjZb
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCCH74sznS
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HPwHooUoh
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZpT4uzlc5
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuz6PnNbeX
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtvQMDmFTY
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0KUEzID1f
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvUwmIezJh
Kakarot: “Right!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC0mkQwphJ
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXI4AVcq5B
Kakarot: “Yes?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLM2GwP4ot
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3wpYLgNtb
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboEXH8P1dd
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlyRWelDFH
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGHWColq8t
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpubUDREVu
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLqrWvv41k
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qYEE1LorD
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQenISK2YfZ
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8CmiphO0Q
Raditz turned to his brother.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFqVtiBywB
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygonqO1L5l
Raditz: “Right..”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RVU8O1viH
Raditz took off with his pod.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBob3u4qU5X
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs11IAAU2eR
“Let me take a look.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH01YFfXBL
Beep! Beep! Beep!
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqx441YrnM
“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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQevTysDOA
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8VLd8Jqfq
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEnVfTcEhO
He bowed in respect.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6d6sqPL48
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7ewDqeGMt
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6yhe1aFZT
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfHPznz3Ty
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxijCPobYUN
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbEhC3kXwp
Raditz: “As you wish.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN7Rhh9xCe
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGpHFm52n2
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jFzkgPnQ9
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwp6iUMDaZ
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVIA1M42RP
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFlmHQF0LY
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU4I3UCESV
Zarbon took his leave.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEkni76muJ
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZKGNqGy0j
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiLAlyNdUg
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55b230Q91g
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9OIWChU8k
Raditz chuckled.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZFfvenzTk
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDorLvXUUs
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGj38hVKBJ
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxPBY892ko
Beep! Beep! Beep!
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5yHCJAI6f
Raditz: “He's here…”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ATmabertE
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q4CJKTUvb
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMqPQXp9R2
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7s8jLgK31
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvTpwxmCbl
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRGiVx2qUb
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9dQQ0ZiXs
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUtxNWjhmI
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBF6nZi5js
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWomKRdz3A
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ7QJttWE8
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZTZdH1tzM
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwWlkKjzAh
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVqG0uMXNN
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKgxndCWLj
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9hkzwQu26
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNCoe5tEiy
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQJhxBtBbN
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIiJwoToeE
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDeMJjwPZP
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DBloGe4mH
Raditz: “Damn it!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscWi8n9b3X
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF26DXmRpS
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgFTLqJjj3
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10gjfBhU2p
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng65powq4L
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgio80V675
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6tB7z8p6Z
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozfnLsOQm6
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SkEpTXdSx
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9wvAi2cZs
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrI3ByzKYE
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLnQcVSCmp
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE001GRetN
Beep! Beep! Beep!
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULZ5JFJ12R
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmRM4K9wt9
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUJVtEeGYx
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdbnzxHz19
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF1sI0Drom
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALKGxHM8LR
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeAF2z0lIa
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.

Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”

They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUC9AGLCm7

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3Cx4UGmtr
Dodoria: “Why you!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxaCJsJaf5
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew4sRf0c0p
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0Bu0pZi19
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fhHktANVr
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM0TQissAV

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7CX4D7AQQ
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuZuhaBI99
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYKcda2GnX
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQvo97gxVe
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2TpUgnZlF
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5u7mRrthm
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PqImDZpd8

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpaSuwN5no
Vegeta: “Huh?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8QTwyEQeD

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo0mDewbfU
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWqyYwE2Hj
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt0fhCzvAI
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7vrGHhEPE
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVGUYvSKpb
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLjhYnUyh3
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjxakjsA0h
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.

Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVyVQZ8494

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKm3CAqvBE
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.

Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT1BiZ5UtO
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA072TZm7tI
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFfMikbGET
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmhRkgFXWY
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8JNpSRE4v
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmowIOaVdHI

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0BQdBQzCA

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUe93DYybj

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmC8l2HDAC
Frieza: “Y-You-”

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNLBbjxGQb
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHPtnMdtFP
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK1bUeZvYH
Kakarot: “Not again!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU3ODANJCi
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eqiqarA4X
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AQe02zBeL
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIie3Nxt94
Kakarot: “Look out!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FROz84jHa
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOkzANwQ2E

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mh5kbatC6
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguHLU0ZR8s

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h5ZTl7s3v
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Er5F9zGr3
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5JbPfskzV
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM7bJqG9Ma
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07J327DYQN
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQkNNd8u75
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCmVe5RWhD
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXscp9OhXBa

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9c7WjloVy
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqT86tTSiv
Frieza: “You again!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61cU1e3Gig
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eCWld6H4C
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4in8yjq1pN
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2XKUXDXAg
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbttBwKV7k
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf5YhCnFZs
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ9juDulGl
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDyJEl6uKA
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o8faIwWrG
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR7dXFEsSD
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZp1i4swR4
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7tPeZzAE1
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviZZGdV0yu
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2us8pEhEWS
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuot7B9vPzz
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zp3ntJ8n9
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIilybvahoP
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIEY0rrDP8
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeL7ocM7oC
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtPjCiZmfY
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyEh16h5w5
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8G6lmeOpM
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwLV19LtfC
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCadG2YvnN3
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyuUFf3GBt
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R9Js3pNsD

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjobtQrRdm
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8KdpHbWWO
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcvRIThFM5

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUvAAjQz2d
“Haaaaaa!!!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXrETlJnGn
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.

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasWYhM2yd2
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWoEsoMaHp

169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOdBjD60yW
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLesuwtrHc5
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8J1nx6e4t
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7eF54NJCf

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfIcDCd1xw
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl8gDnJM92
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrhafTuUNa
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-”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDVZGEaQI5
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMzeshTOxJ
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHQOLDxdUz
Kakarot: “It's done…”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjuKnveGV6
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c0CWi7jg5
Vegeta ascended into the air.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNuF9AiJPt
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBjERkVu6j
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZNwkw3yTx
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCHqJqUjcf
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf8F2hW5qf
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9TqVpA5Ot
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUjIkl0q8Q
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SP72SwRSZ
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5tOHW6YnM
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19byL3RaDi
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBxr1xP18P
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yrJkTxZz6
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMNDycsxLt
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzWNk0tijc
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd619mEh1u
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki0t6JpiRH
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfp9E4a7jv
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x7n8ORoj7
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiIgNlNZmj
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCJFvmD4Re
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBUdGfG2FW
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2D5rU5MML
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb36R3jFQo
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhEnLUAKGK
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hbQvCMK6M
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYIRxxH6F1
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1BXGWRmGs
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwyp8bvlM4
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gaqydlJh5
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WiTCUxvvy
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F9tmH2cif
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlSW261q7r
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj00RoXH2Oo
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9JpfkDlUY
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZKvO77xf1
He looked at his fist in shame.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbuktpLw9o
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AUGKoPLKy
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoPoAEohvW
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJieMCSooLW
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NdBW1Oxq7
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMl9IJYveb
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaW7ZK0HYU
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsyYglknuN
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcCrPIc8Nt
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHkCxCiEJQ
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kd20s70tN
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeVNzs3j5h
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQta4ZSkXq
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU57BfAkCS2
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPDoCmLtMg
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..”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZt6pNBKpu
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSgJUgG6Es
Kakarot: “No…”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzc6mUZZ5Y
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLas7YhVcKK
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Nsuh9ahKV
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq7r9iisc7
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJv05blDWM
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eTl0WryKE
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38VNy9Aj9x
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZgs1yLyhb
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqUK9KDjQq
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPysiXl2cI
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRRXb0yO2U
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHLEOGzGIO
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J352BPemk
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiipmrsfKq
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGqKR9an1z
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBrXx6XrQ6
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ399Ngiuzmk
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcug75gtvjB
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJkQphDzAb
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRowa6wHJEu
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0p3hKF7W2
Raditz bowed down in respect.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E4jzRQJUa
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmNF769g8J
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvQoNxueMF
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XHktD8XaJ
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBnpBrQ6Hg
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGNi9VE90D
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2jZGjz7sC
Raditz: “Right!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmPvb5yLZQ
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF1tClph7Q
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKHXavdnZ2
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwgjs422eC
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpgxtGkUua
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSYtCFj1DN
Tears ran down his face.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhRBx5UCE1
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?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4ukZceaM0
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSoX2TQCDN
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQJarTGVqS
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbZrzcQtcF
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUpxeEb14B
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qNvaIiRCy
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzTwsbQUab
Raditz smirked.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UPSZszQYa
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo9xDHiqw4
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMfKfLjqzH
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHM19GfVUf
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljJJN4LMPe
He pounded the ground.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAjDbnz8uT
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCfDReRoen
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXGVUMEI0m
Kakarot: “To fight!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPXq8bAgaL
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGPMsynhTy
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtfwYAfj4K
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZv5S6MtAI
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol3bezkWgo
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NQ4g1RQ2b
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0bkKWzsCJ
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2rUP1WX76
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWMQUv4nrU
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKXpUk7s1h
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.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlwyMs9lij
Vegeta: “Wait!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6XVEAPAbo
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.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eNxeeLgOQ
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbztgVod5lm
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUXFLf0xhJ
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKiEpfoEte
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXGPTC28Cu
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!”
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oI7BBHaIU
Shenron: “As you wish."
