Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuhZswW5Ge
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSFbRcLcaY
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqjvPvTeJA
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kgMYOi7wo
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlih5CNPIYK
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKuegv9uVc
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT1HIaEBNN
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vHsTBwEjD
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1JgkIaIh5
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw2UJUGVfQ
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkLxv9lB1r
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlkK20bRVQ
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdGUXSW0N4
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeuTNAddLJ
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgBSzpYAWh
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4FJ4g53av
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapO4DxhBzt
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQcTKJNKDx
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsNee7DHD6
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcU015exdm
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlHF0iLt1y
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEBaeKPdao
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxAJ9Wgv5v
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6CNIWpako
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsrs1WSDLI
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbBpHWLZ4W
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJbtAheYdJ
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYehjRfnC2
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2JwyZ0WYP
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo64hey8br
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdnYKNJUKZ
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZBTULP06y
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9DU2yto5D
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52CutGNW2K
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNrF6fKzqe
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4llPCxpUNT
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFSKA0VdvQ
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07GUbkiM5y
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqrgUi5rUZ
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLqa07FdtZ
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpbgTOsEvy
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggidPU5R8U
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9in9DQgTj
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJNi7erXMh
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpEdrSyW83
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBcg8kWEiy
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw57f79a3Sv
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQs1xfnOpi
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgX2qOxmi2
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNATk6gfHCb
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGs7vR19bA
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhM8CRquik
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIYFgTW1pr
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RDUgsWGrD
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2AIxbhrjH
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8AkE9nyp5
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3qIHeptSk
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4P5AxJnlv
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbFSGvqAUH
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGh5kkPjU5
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq8wtlgovP
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDFGneDgV9
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa3zTHw5ZL
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejTkcQhkoi
Beet: “Haaa!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNMILWPgrp
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCJldRkL1F
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxxdnT8bjn
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceiS2t5bld
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYspdcu60sK
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEUs80PkQW
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48q2SRseqy
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-”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7NBVH5BvS
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6blmrqBRHY
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJce9HCbNpX
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksPHkVR6c7
Kakarot: “Enough”!
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD7YNBOAzt
Beet: “Huh?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j7X22zAp3
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9a7HZ5whL
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JUOyA2YHb
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAXZ9fkIii
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tK1L0Dpl6
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgu6S6AQ31
Beet: “Right!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkiZWN6Ogf
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsRF7MF3rz
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7ijRu9kbW
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCbsTiXZ6T
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeGSabyKjU
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiYTBCrVtl
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipLre7Fi6l
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOq7WTzAx3
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyE7AZvCIE
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG9tcxoLhl
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO4VqeKRRZ
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEM4DTjbB1
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQJg1DjGdW
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH57Nnia20
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHVjPFP6jy

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdk4Tgykmz

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaXIrNXl0Y
“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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY9CNjd06y
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt3FWwRovw
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHorov1AWi
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV5t0X6HCa

“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNYbOG7fVB

“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oAPDB4M3k
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdGEqCWw8u
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YzKTryxlb
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.

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmxUM9Az5E
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImx1bj9kzG

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yx2ydAiCg
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHfnSsCS6k
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnatcfYNLr
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx0kkSvfAQ
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLuifvJWtE
Bulma chuckled.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT9KJNWTvt
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CGKRnxo17
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0w74qKUvv
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OYiXlmSyS
Beet: “Momm!!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGacdAtsPv
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlrQEPi7pO
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSCudHxZqp
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCDMxkNPLb
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxdgmUb7CH
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSM5I8RVlZ
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSENwLQRG3M
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW7T3veXxS
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC6OJ1NJAs
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNNHya6Lcr
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmSbZMhKjv
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dSXHOm8Tx
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTvu4xuK9a
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIORRmRIHxX
Kakarot: “Enough!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYGX03FV1i
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsaTDpU7bt
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehq4zwOgkV
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xOcg89ADm
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aQJrZ6zTO
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A0L90xqa1
Beet: “Sir!!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGan4V9G5t
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C0Vx95ibv
Bulma: “Beet!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr1cyCGCnX
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tXuxcQv8C
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWBJX4KYFK
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmaRXmmtY6
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS0SVevHr5
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvyr0F9FpX
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3rwTjD9ZJ
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6EAY68rpP
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KqbwlSC84
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw86L1qKeqk
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHws8UMU6tK
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVb7gbyVFY
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODPuZfJNI3
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8kVNxjPn8
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O13YRGrSE
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6egj9ogucF
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzM5gdNBeh
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBnWJ7ygNf
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ58YZRUeCA
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgcL3jQVnw
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDkuCRLdyx
Raditz: “You have my word.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwnMZUn60v
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEFKVyCK40
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5cGERIIFV
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J1aj6vZX8
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R4Gk6wIag
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTUR82vgUi
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?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3bN4O2M4v
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMgC3cGUP2
Raditz chuckled.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMHVtanDjZ
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlullc0vg87
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTvm1CnhG7
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHc62Hh0Fj
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpdWmGcGeH
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmZ2UtlATT
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiZrtR06ut
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKmX1TjmDL
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXgFAbDprw
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJu3aoSfx8
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYdQvSdpv5
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvcxGvfm9S
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHNud98S5X
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71vCHNjGf4
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3qPix4ObP
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN0ekl6W4N
Raditz took a deep breath.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBofK59EhZH
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmiZkE6gN0
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer2IxUpbAI
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe8p6oWkRc
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQkwop39ZW
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKACZz0AdQT
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?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rcSii106o
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e7GBiKMOm
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkwrLZJzhF
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrsolIgKJB
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUac58kuSKl
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZTqIbL6Am
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OycFhVfBO
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA08Kra9Hq
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?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O7UFN0sCB
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHblIqBxPhT
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvmzarS1jI
Kakarot: “The prince?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRub0MXlLjH
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvZm7akrbV
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G4FDbIF3r
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?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6XNydrszc
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LfJTumYdJ
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRDC32ZIuc
Kakarot: “….”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81ALl04t7v
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u8fOx3TaQ
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1BlkrnPPh
Bulma hesitated to reply.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizCZbrVvQh
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP12yCtS31d
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fHsAGGl4q
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6Q6HYLu65
Beet: “Sir!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8zIFoIFyz
He came face to face with his father.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhj7Wsho0o
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d3XzFClMV
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlX9Ds4Ihi
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOnFIW3QDe
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnOyH8V4MS
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJhUHEK5ih
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU0Oa2oscZ
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWymRS8xvb
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU3x4xJVyQ
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2vG9llbkU
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6a6D0Yt2f
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg5YMLx44y
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u97wjQw5q
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu7H6IAL6F
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.’
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8wzoXhi1T
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnCaoRHwmJ
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSyOuBwK8W
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2Re87pHzx
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NNrNi4A2u
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXBUXRDRP1
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxTKzOSyYo
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ot9lZ6F9T
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo9ZXJayi8
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PvLr61AbL
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q8JW0Q8lO
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3AcjaKYVv
The prince hesitated.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe1sqAxLOz
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgP0p5uqWK
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloBsFSRbDm
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgwVzcmt6b
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0IdyewqQp
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nvLwfvzvQ
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHmWz0qnIj
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUicwADUzC
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWJ9fN5lvz
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z3CaICN8Z
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNyhAijiSv
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYDOkfAGHI
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwgfJR1cKL
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Q2VszNyY
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpRPrZG0yu
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51DOtjzv6Z
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4facxln6D
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQgn9zHO5V
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpxh7WUxj7
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd3C7hXpzR
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9CmoDFMr7
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuvdpdtpmn
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi6sAKuHMf
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2QG9pxKVa
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?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yumq55GSU
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nm96zu5X1
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPQlLinAyL
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z8xd6iFAW
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS9fWfI5Q1
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNL1IffEzo
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?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvPN3ec9Lj
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzWtGBqLKt
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C9TJrAaUf
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Z0rUbPG3
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf4N6m5syn
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?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWkNlw56jk
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77xT7iVCSt
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Hy1HtO0e
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9qHXWlYNy
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Djc7PtRJ
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz2W1s98QM
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2AbWYvOjb
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AsXJ5ziE8
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDNG6CnsTT
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynJN0Ff4xb
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?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncRoRNfFSg
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fsazrxlJG
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BSRhQ9cly
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJMwwn6VCs
Kakarot: “What was that?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mJ0vs3XK1
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlTFF82PiY
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?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkbOke2mkW
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLaX9yRl0p
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn5YPzTFVa
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02Wg8aqmZj
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATklFpZeud
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJGiQD19U2
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarFyqaXIJW
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynh4SlCxqD
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENO7FZfHys
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU2oac4Z9L
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYMCi5KmWU
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBffH5gREQ
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaSt5S6JqJ
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMSAeav5ai
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8PHCbw1RA
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9VwauO28o
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8524QoFubX
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgujC3e3MX
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXaftmlgul
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKyp3EFiAq
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiLQFvyIbh
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwKvR6Ccpu
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lig9dUTyq
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKQFGRlSfz
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPSiF6ksjh
“Your foot is on my tail!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9evWwqUcVZ
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5ibqDRN5D
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Bczp9rQc
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIamg8zzKcF
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnkxZg9rHa
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4S8J0W535
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoaT2CVBFh
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWR19be6bt
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt7vonCsoH
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpSCEjyT7Y
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?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt5qjHH7cU
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g2pudp2dJ
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR1E9MsolY
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlpfBa2NM1
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdRjGAk22o
Kakarot smiled.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvH09VFtIL
Kakarot: “Understood!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlitggwp6NP
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfAkzslv2h
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC71lWs9AD
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eaJBroYsg
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT4ea7WTs7
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtMc4dT9dE
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZscRKaUTPb
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx0aTn7pL4
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF18QH4iZH
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFQGOgwnvd
Vegeta chuckled.

Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTRJShPL7M
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuqRxdqRjt
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcOykI2LDV
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmello7arR
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK89BWUQ1ac
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwXAQ1ZQhx
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ3RhvnF2x
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98rN92hBVf
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUHzgMRHi0
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.

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ1w5wDhUH
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaIHVV0Kap
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6XFgLDlNw
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO492DeqyL
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qhppZTvxg
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkltu1IRQ8U
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oiCr2WIF0
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggaAuMo1A3
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1Hh03Zy5K
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlE28PS4Zg
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoPWks7Mgw
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWC9Y3dOjC
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hQlXwMFqZ
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoR9Rltoh0
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraKHvCJDAq
He took a peek at his injuries.

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUANdLTU3rI
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6ZmHpEKXY
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxlgRzXjEq

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb0ElbOvHU
Kakarot: “Huh?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGJnwz6Vrj
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuv5zNKU3d
Raditz: “Why you!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudWPQBMEjl
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUou1HCnjz
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh4jPAL5fC

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCFYHFc7gs
Raditz: ‘Right!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcIsWcNWQP

Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccPNv3dFav
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq2xHqwvyP
“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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiapcDhL7w
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo7ZK8bH76
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?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI50tF5U3B
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADWc0PQmdl
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzMImcadiM
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uxkRKkjnA
Doctor: “I will sir.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrEX98Ezie
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvMkOkx3ZY
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEqlb2oJOX
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWe59stT9Y
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNuySMqGdC

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1APcutw3N
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD2chNPWLL
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP57HVV92bg
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMRVeCLb2k
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpRUXiT0jE
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9e5Jz5bR2
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQcTiOxxcM
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?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEQ0WQoKEF
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZxOQ6DLOM
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SzQMaXVEF
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGflq8c58Ql
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX1qQmVsCl
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDZ7jDDvpl
Bulma: “I'm not convinced, we've achieved peace and yet you insist on bringing the fight back to us. When does the violence end?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC80c3pG0t5
Kakarot: “When we win.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tCN3ib8re

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSoKBBjMSi

Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlWtbay7nc
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHNx2FX5yC

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwHUHa5Lm3
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNsTCK7C6x

Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsz0qXvuVP
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeASgXK9lcg
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm5kREh66Y
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UPnZOci4f
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAjdzDMJnc
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTl6VDRcZk
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBstHKREVqb
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfotdeOWvtb
Kakarot: ‘My apologies, I had some other business to attend to. As you all requested, I've brought my boy. Beet, these are the last remaining saiyans. They're like you and I, you'll learn a lot from them as I have.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje2zhGwkx9
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”

Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK69afx0dPI
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP19aQ6s1u4
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!”

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UejjJyTQT
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKS4SZ7INZ
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Nql46qXC
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vTp3kBhaq
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUWaxOj17G
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1eibjcW1z
Raditz: “I will..”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMe5KN7eSr
Raditz turned to his comrades.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCERS4d0AG
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbVpVyZhlW
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5INRthMR2k
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqg4ye9Rc5
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8To5epeYB
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjfAv6NG2Q
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbGlsYqRHz
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMndmKsyX7I
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVqUjr0Gj1
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkEKuAg2Fg
Beet: “Okay!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbaVsHQfm9
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3UV3zGAmG
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDoa47ObJd
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLalrb1XWZJ
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbJ16g8dHU
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy18cBlyk1p
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTod5oWD9OK
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdapHWIv4gY
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98YEwVPKlw
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhdxKpL00c
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP877jLyzoO
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KGB9adOxQ
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pno4J9ycx
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfxxplyNxk
Beet: “O-Okay.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TpJDGiBar
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaJuiloYkm
Kakarot: “What happened?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTChUlOggV
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZa7tepaKG
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuOIgyAswe
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYs3qoRfdF
Kakarot: “Fine.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6bpE9Msq4
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LsW6lo8qh
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx25FHiKta
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KDD8CuuXd
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN0H6MP6da
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP7i3A7nt7
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9WgoOUITj
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6kd4Dt25c
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz4sNxtFQR
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOBxCeOhHG
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QNOg0LGz4
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOKuGZjEMK
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvgAcmfCVY
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxasETrAtY
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9bmyMgFgm
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcstSqYVXuq
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBXDPr29bK
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBzcZkqK4u
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUFgXQkQ45
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfANsZrv7zS
Raditz: “Understood.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SycjLB2v5
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0651ecI6WJ
Raditz departed from the room.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6tmUBcbe6
“Haaaa”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jQWIX9H6I
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwe9S24sH9
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHfuyJojyt
Kakarot: “Right.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa67tsyQ4kd
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0a2wYlVsd
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzxi5CgKnh
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2bVRboxkT
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWx5NKoolk
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0l9vPGfqW
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGic65ctGWK
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IEgqmgvdF
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GgxMpyl2P
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKafg8ppoX3
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpfggF4mW1
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBEv5iiBqK
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSquDGAMYn7
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3wanxOxsF
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFHpQFLKRE
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gqsfnSPF8
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSi4Ynd1Lp
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0zzYruycb
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVAJsLaxtN
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ns99gqrNj
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzlmpt59VT
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc0hXr9rR9
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVBpSF9y0v
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93mUrw6wjq
Kakarot turned around.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor3RkmnDok
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCUUsKVrqn
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qlyrBkYlw
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?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTg2IUIuWs
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rpZMuhfOP
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw2KukmFqZ
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCfPK8rxYO
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng5NDDq8q9
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikGPogws6H
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo91PRs1hwK
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGK5IyO5B5
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloUvTxqQTd
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AK2kS86ZI
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTVpuRtYwP
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxTG3bOLOL
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmmB05te8d
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVoAN5ndr6
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAIr1vQhUx
Kakarot: “Right!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo7JwhyINl
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaNkqgG42e
Kakarot: “Yes?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgioa9yhiQx
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yM0lRGjPU
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjUbdR7uoB
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4ykHbRFip
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmS21yRn32
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGCieinOwK
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHuBhWLPzI
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEiuGO7B3q
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBTOwwUVju
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BiWp6hHAZ
Raditz turned to his brother.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrRPtQTKdw
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwps2hxHSVm
Raditz: “Right..”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9xCMPaOIX
Raditz took off with his pod.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ715lb3iOpH
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fwtCZmloR
“Let me take a look.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6tsDZJDB0
Beep! Beep! Beep!
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF6k509YVm
“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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YROpKAPyY
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xWLNLFFBR
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMG6DPQ2Lw
He bowed in respect.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgav9qQaDk
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KwFVIcgq7
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwkWZITHOD
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikTF5tEQmz
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rxhGRI5ox
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlaAnpBvAk
Raditz: “As you wish.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIrI6XfjFI
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFAZZnuieB
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2qGRQDiFN
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo1lM2ZmiY
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3vZykcczw
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODiu7DrA1p
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBEdZrKBT3
Zarbon took his leave.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbPobreaHo
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9e6cFXf8s
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDj9GygEt0
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VVGG6SpCi
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX0lCMsID9
Raditz chuckled.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eAdqVL74C
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG8W0Feio4
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPz0G3XFBY
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4swmhIM9D
Beep! Beep! Beep!
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A2ne2KJFH
Raditz: “He's here…”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Apu1xmqp
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNainAK7vAp
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y1bTeBsd4
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqWXEvyNfK
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY8u0nxIDP
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpU5T7gCh7
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzLJ00k4TL
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ411dTumdc
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkOUFmGanJ
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gr0tErMId
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlITGs1QJrT
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYTo7kk0Ar
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDyAyEV0Qe
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcDjNQTXVE
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8PhnPUNIi
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPDXoqGM99
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YEf3B6EiJ
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrClnOwBpsj
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxeWOz5tsj
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwt0UDx2vl
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZrXiImCJd
Raditz: “Damn it!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP7mqn22R0
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavBnait5Xi
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDazfTd6asd
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDQ9LuXdNx
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN4DJHeZNR
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YrQ6E8o4h
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHTo5z2nY7
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaAxxpuWgW
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLtdg3Sbqh
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleZTDPCD4U
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5NQbt532d
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAKbCzFzZR
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PpMkake4d
Beep! Beep! Beep!
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcKbOcMozu
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOoAfCm3XS
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk33TQFFymB
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS1uO32sfZ
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0eStvId7s
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6LdnsSDHi
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6J51zqlaM
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXFzA1yCDz
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hKHIoGv1n
Dodoria: “Why you!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMjUo6cuSL
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAA0q8hoOn
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZJN4et47y
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HOhJ5jiy3
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!”

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv3gVbgQME
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVOW3Aaypk
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZcxj61kkL
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EqQZkyya0
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDEAauhNEH
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMirgAKnbwq
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCMSakwXhg
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”

Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceASRdyCNd
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.

Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjA2c3NggF

Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9RJEKYq6Z
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ059MVbAxZ
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!”

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.

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3puL1CvKzP

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRqbIu4Uij
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ3O6jsd6p
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcypNY3IIB
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPXaw2FqEc

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQzBBh4NA1
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL4dvcP8aJ
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhS1purWL9
Kakarot: “Not again!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkjKXE0IoK
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfrJyq4Ix9
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnENnZEsvpC

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHytYjXMFg
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkqAgVQEfC
Kakarot: “Look out!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2G6AMiQMW
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG1mv1LIMM

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVqgCWOIvN

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJPYMYWz5u
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKHArQ5lUm
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW1Kve7sU0
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ICkgPxIeC
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMTjc4vGOq
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5QdAn308g
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKeLU4wGyg

Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa5vdwIjQ1
Frieza: “You again!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VS6ril0eF
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJidjxcEMA1
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wAYwBqMWB
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc20jmaX9nz
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPLy4FVzlB
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXuKWJw9Vl
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDuDnYxf4i
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaY0lhN9jr
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGU7bzk8jd
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjpKzspEOF
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AxuKf3hx2
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXmbsOGQtN
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqGeOZGMu5
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTll19edke
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG8k7W4nWo
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5ytSNYvZl
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagL7bO6mGy
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPzP1Cc7t2
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUsJ7woJHF
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bwQ0Il5Ez
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrcS0D6Vwe
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhORLDT4FyC
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBix5wi8oPB
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRSwj7K9py
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVjfZH9hgz
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mceMyzMoL

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq9muyMhlS
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cbQjD7UOV
“Haaaaaa!!!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLuUXxUXK1
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.

Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpVPxvn2gU
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLKwNVW8mu

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTlKNaNoI7
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWUbUcKslK
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q2QQ4QFus
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUv1iVlZpu

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw89uZ40DJx
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWPgSxHt5b
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwMerqTsI2
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-”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzKcv07DSl
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TRsGZezBN
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJMUOHN5iC
Kakarot: “It's done…”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeRYsszt7O
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcFyZkL2IV
Vegeta ascended into the air.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55aQPsugpt
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxDrnnG2P6
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15S8jrSzfV
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpitF2YPB5l
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYX9QPkLG6
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IjqAwCQST
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S8ZoT0AAn
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzbvhPXiZK
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHiynAdY0u
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIbrE76QYh
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyRteGDjGn
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jyosvh5aF
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMB4KXaKxr
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVoGn5KwLh
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpC2Izf0zM
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0tJFRyRUE
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vwYWqRBCC
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLU7QjFKHs
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwRYnASTq8
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLAujaqpf5
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6A9mwAC6W
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAQco4BNFe
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J0ayCvnfb
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVSaksyHez
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbcRk7oq85
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AHfsZIbxI
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTgceAuG4m
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfp00cRG6v
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LdZzfLB6v
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ10CqVuRk3
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSoWB5Sgm0
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxYAReDxQ0
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeEaCPuhPv
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtk5uIk1et
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL9zFEeMD8
He looked at his fist in shame.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMs9vawzDm
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvdXgWTVKD
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2o6p87wiW
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPHoTOHjnd
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhprni3KJQc
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ssPKDCMY
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY58N2fYks
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1pMkLcAgH
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpiSIhnXCc
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdGoWExXMZ
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuAv1GJoAo
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTYWCWNRYo
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIzJAiHoaW
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mm2U1tyCJ
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxbXxAGipG
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..”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy968hGdiV0
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r2NSU1K86
Kakarot: “No…”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyPUKsF6sj
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGqQH6SGZk
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fHWzoDwTp
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FmMBsR9ls
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbnBg39w1P
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsv3Pu5pYd
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIERwUJK8Gq
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7LnCnx5Jq
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNx1KNThSa
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6etk1yUgMz
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOhFLISKPJ
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaDPniUhuT
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQwpY4pLJR
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBznAltTRL
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1lRR8ScTR
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXcZcChyu7
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDPPsLEL7g
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1DAAKUAMM
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqcRrqqt7j
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzTyCpIerG
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh5Z7eLsXn
Raditz bowed down in respect.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QreqD2GJg
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH7VOUQ5ic
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49gmHxRkBr
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejZbShGHJy
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsYAWdNSjd
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBvyTZ2q2R
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oz9G3gqHc
Raditz: “Right!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk0rnpNg1a
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjPPmfcYyk
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0p4Ywfexr
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uUVbZwgz4
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGap5YJ03Au
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp37QQyTC7S
Tears ran down his face.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltpPCcoSiC
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?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeKaKr5q6U
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYaZJrLdR7
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUdWufRl1C
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6WR3SbCKc
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrAnydbjaf
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFtO5BfKqf
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdZ21A9jSU
Raditz smirked.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonOulOpxZz
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyzI44QnLl
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL0W7bv2dB
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAir3rcOUHH
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6eLYzvTt4
He pounded the ground.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0GeZRcZrX
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2BwhiIhBU
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyhL1v6TdE
Kakarot: “To fight!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaIYE3pTHP
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Dks8vSHJA
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfbI6jTvHz
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3DplEPkUn
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3vjverCtd
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lCMcLEqUd
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGillDXYT3K
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2LsjUuK8G
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AlfhacpmN
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEFPzMrGXc
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.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5O9KjnPME
Vegeta: “Wait!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMMb6Vsndj
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6l2yIxgzP
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjIBLQ8d28
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShgIgkY2yX
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdznfnxLwX
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95xWTexMTd
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!”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6jYqkj4a2
Shenron: “As you wish."
