Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmY4whxmFB
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwoPt8lUEz
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Xyiy0mSF
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdwymRWUxr
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7rUM0ozCy
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOMR6tNRhV
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMemx4eM1ZO
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGklomieUyT
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgrLRxkd54
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOVJZfRJVw
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyqjy6s0R4
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrBYWo0NyH
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHwS4rfJ1n
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj4bksuBD7
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OIT9lVqXT
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSen4KlXo6D
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWehT2EgbT
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ulJsP2IwO
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X2a0q5Xyr
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPP7RZnXya
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNKxPULZ8b
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSxxUtHVAY
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAcy2jcAdD
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3WavgZ0B4
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QVR2Qtpze
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzoT6Ad2fn
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzqsgRsDPt
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MwNeWpLaq
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQOuYVA48N
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2IQ79SEWF
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYVtK8PfQA
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeImmDIrar
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bB6J2rO26
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJWA5EyavM
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9xPN2OhC3
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmjwy7eNBs
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKOjkVEOOw
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIfuk9ABiP
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRrLARjKaC
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1m3pqV4YJ
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVxww54sN8
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwXqaYkk0F
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvqAVq39oX
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtQ5gUupec
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDXJiq6lYw
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG47TVpCI01
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQO0xucNOF
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bwip4hy4u
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabDPQGpN3f
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYt68ieIXL
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvY3sB8h07
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh49kRf04f
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DQiMP1VIh
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN8wLENzb2
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUteNRqY3j
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3XjxF4J6N
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfptvBNP4vc
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKHjbhmnZH
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZIxxALr93
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAyJZZ0Xaw
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6cJMHMJoE
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3iimI4nhM
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pVDvJy2kJ
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftoSkEbddJ
Beet: “Haaa!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKouLbGNgw
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljzNrcSHLI
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdzDqh3pIg
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvZmMXb4ZY
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi3lxuHQte
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHI5q9mcEQ
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzHQ97E6Jh
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-”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA0gH2GHrw
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclLnyssEYG
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe7LNsmhPx
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv0nSCHVJw
Kakarot: “Enough”!
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeUDTXlTNu
Beet: “Huh?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W2mVb1iFz
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl3F9u3ZDK
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLJpQhec76
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJkOQRVhnu
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMisL2K9r2P
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EBp7jj42E
Beet: “Right!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN2IshN2rX
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH730nNfdO8
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucBBd5EnRq
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0ryc1iu0t
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqULO4zfDEM
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpblFVkhTkO
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNi126O0PG
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9V8CrzQYx
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8CmY5qBMh
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qsM4wYtex
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReeMIgqcWp
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTCL3qGvgj
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hGr2AVyOe
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWXaB2a2ve
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhPw4Mnj1h

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6lQeNqjvm
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapuIKAqNhp
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8bgxWuM3w
“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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s6NsRbV9E
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJauAwWa02
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXutur9ZjVk
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzflbCCtdG
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yfuOp9dg3
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrIYgPEGGl
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbjnpwVmWT
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw55qcPzkIk
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVKyU1lrea
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUDSX7evEg
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxbCz3M0Gg
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00clE6enkD
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmBOj262AG
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2DsphcqjF
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySIfad8NBY
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEkhauuGY0
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirQXQy0zxJ
Bulma chuckled.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS1StijVPh
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKdbgccqeo
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLcNWF7huz
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVY0rbSceK
Beet: “Momm!!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94jtIU1BqA
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMWoaFlUPz
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEqvS38lgj
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9gfx7Ctpi
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDJBMGFwk0
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQusVpcw9ZV
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdCEndzD47
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW3gQOpAzX
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyF26NN5Sr
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3a4qPruFn
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSwtCLUejb
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsMDnkjOwm
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5ebVaxtrF
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWBDDeH2I0
Kakarot: “Enough!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9anlEDfjBs
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlavZahOuBs
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnORR5RWTU
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOSeGskwQj
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ0zd6WcZx
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqtyYFdeen
Beet: “Sir!!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm0A90lzMY
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOGUqSNVjW
Bulma: “Beet!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaujuuGBA7
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF3Db18hhI
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz4WklbeHs
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGuOICGOBi
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHqNVREKZB
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRSOObirN7
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2KlDPWq93
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyZZEkD9HW
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYHwnT1P6H
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK2ohsCCK9
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.”

Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSt4y6iej5
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqkoJPWR4f
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcTMLCQQWN
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbb5H744FJ
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsmQhTpwlQ
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM0kOIq3qy
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss2zmdt4W0
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX0DCoxeea
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAfnzyqQrL
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoqiUhUoW2
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrSbjOMub4
Raditz: “You have my word.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYasX5rUVb3
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Em7H0AgUa
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJqOdjurbr
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6Pvelcd0w
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxaOaoG0zu
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbinnRN2pK
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY3EXsvaXx
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK23YjFkYZ
Raditz chuckled.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAuJpWYFKh
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmxWQMdA7H
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1EfmND69Z
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMeAa89atv
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6tLvwMZS7
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnWWkbwrBD
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E8AXEaoMh
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxeyrsj2M7
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeovPvHd22
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkeeB1MKr6
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeGi9UpmU8
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtAseAi5jX
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3hnJ1QFBp
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX8fCUEHTp
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLo3iW15vE
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKhrtGHfgM
Raditz took a deep breath.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm0uM6guKC
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvaEOs2fIc
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOD59oXHs6
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbKn8YTOR2
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsimbQ5xzH
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYUQFM9Z1R
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4k7ZIyAdT
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrGbHWuKe9
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6vQmAUx2O
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8dO6EqteU
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LL6rtBuzd
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5ajeE7Olh
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDVm6MYYTU
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkJNBsCCvX
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8CQkBqXYR
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V5HRD4kyt
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtmdRZMvYp
Kakarot: “The prince?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzM94lH1MF
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpspEHRmSe2
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqaZr88reW
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MG9RPu6Hq
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerN97LS9RC
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqqRax0d6N
Kakarot: “….”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g0jegEHw4
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfhsiC2Ldu
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnusEGwB3g6
Bulma hesitated to reply.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYLLsJ8nFN
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlnVzPmrW5
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvxfP4iIpw
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6z6148dAo
Beet: “Sir!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwCWGz3agb
He came face to face with his father.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRTUVhx1YF
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYHL5cGqIx
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQppsddd5p0
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOEj5ddTFp
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXYNV33yed
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUotuWZUmDQ
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmMPnVjHoW
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVo34gaCzD
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq0QVdwXj7
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ8s36mAuU
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4A4o0Q4Fn
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhOyZsVTOn
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlHY3AexPD
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcNM28K11w
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.’
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xft5u1YN0
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFYbO5wqt1
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3GDX9vSid
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOwihfcOgp
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhflnHPnQYo
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36lFT7jn1G
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsHA1gOQx0
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5J2uZVGMY
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWLm1fjsAD
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHiiODAYor
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdakNLcHOc
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfeakVdgGq
The prince hesitated.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXBHf6YUmO
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zj560RFsX
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhosp5yU8Ga
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxypyC0l2b0
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwti0yp9ZMD
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR4sMwKLfe
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObBpLYsfcf
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R08VP5KVJ
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9xkrvY7AU
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxMg6us4iz
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDfGV0LXlz
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFMtps3tw9
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY3PHyBjZz
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc6TQzWgnS
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFmzGdUaJb
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yJg34inEj
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiT49eIIaU
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5h6TJpRBP
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0YRInL7JU
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YE58eGRX2
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUKHGPjeOU
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYhX2L3WlP
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZn1kzz38f
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkQa1ZiqsZ
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72F3KwPocE
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsforPz1pwR
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GFbMWrJaY
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWTCfQUJOC
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDdDU12yQt
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPl2P2R8Ut
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6tjZeXUFW
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8HLOZAqdG
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDy3cyzYOG
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonKoppRRqd
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTVCOMTsyB
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1x3Ut3Dkd
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHtl2hHMJZ
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Um1slG7TC
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf7Lp0O3nQ
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UZ45tV7E8
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB33wvm6ZQz
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaLSqdAJW4
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7OBuk7q75
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2a4wQ2nfA
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d8dwxLR8I
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSm3nsKcKl
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa96FuhKeqP
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRvV3KfERa
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCwgO40PVr
Kakarot: “What was that?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T4KWhjoTb
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlPzGVVkPO
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KIJJ5o73L
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsWZOOvEhf
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpFflTYvNq
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokCt35P77M
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEuaPKOdP3
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRDnb4e8z8
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbJCpvxvV5
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0so38meKYF
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHllWdcujT
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxxXILVpVI
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz1n3R0tZH
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjlr9QiHhs
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNeROE6RpJ
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOTxCbMgUK
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjHyQtLn4v
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu8bQdxcwQ
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ROrMG5gl8
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSqMvmbcvq
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJAlOw0WDz
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOs9PbGWEj
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI7HqaJQ4m
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu5xhpazWu
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVBWZclrQ8
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglA4gYmZQG
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnyF37DniZ
“Your foot is on my tail!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGetdsV5ZBQ
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzw8EZaI4z
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O9jIfeWyF
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAmxGbKEVY
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1KzRUs1SA
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4prXUQeUj
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKts3PwSfxp
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56qvMFqu25
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsaMSy9OJW
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5CPy01pOs
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rj8uHvLGA
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9iJYLb1bE
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HwYqRPFKG
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalYJzTloeI
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL8FSTJ65J
Kakarot smiled.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JEF3h867m
Kakarot: “Understood!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbazzEESwU
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiao5QF328
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WVehdDNJD
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEkk9bfslA
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsK8pNDfc7
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKPS47gerV
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBWisoUBEJ
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b53xB3CxS
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGImRLYrSM
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs1stRc0Y5

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QDDIcdDaD
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypWII2TFMF
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAfYQFlLNO
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ffgViIgs9

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyd4mS217B
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgxb7u1Gl0
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWsCb8heaw
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspGeikDELn
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZMQTwU1XQ
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.

Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0r2EXQ8ho
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCuYKZuAhw
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhluZLkTETB
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwSfLoFhDg
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6Atr4rXcL
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83s7RL533s
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtzWlJDXZP
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNS4fXQZ2B
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkcXaS7zH1
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6HiqlFTld
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xuy6ALjfA
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbHMWR9VQL
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLpBvN9WAx
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWOpGKdmEo
He took a peek at his injuries.

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOwioAFQVl
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zXAb6Z0W2
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtncdABu4y

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZak0PgGye

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM775cvmm4B
Kakarot: “Huh?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV6aHshCe3
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdq4cn96JS
Raditz: “Why you!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydCJKNHcbM
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f0Tk0sg5U
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmU9xOWPxj

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIxa17mi1C
Raditz: ‘Right!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS8GAJKwHL

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf87vxEh1tm
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEuwyWe37W
“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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMra7IAMmq
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugUGbYORYQ
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bh8gQOd9G
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GgdJao6Oy
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNit9J4Jlot
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsAACz04Tl
Doctor: “I will sir.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3EjQH2HBW
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBkuV2AFja
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0dDeYLbIr
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oRl2neMAd

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1sIRhQGzt

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJZi2LJ1Oe
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL1Zj2AUgk
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10hnGs0XFz
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LVUJvCQpo
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjUIW8xqBG
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmInxhvUekB
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUD2EmTjG4
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVciSzNsXVu
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBI2x2rjFJ
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0qUppU0Sa
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYWi6Lz4Zh
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqQqw5e9EI
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ShT5FX0uz

Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIdRYmBCZx
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxUuQ2UOX0
Kakarot: “When we win.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd25Z7WzJq2

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLcBvrESGj

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9Gs11Loch
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxwh8Njw5R

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeP8RlJ7kx
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90Rm4TNAAE
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA1vDYbFdS
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT7rvNq9ID
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6QvuHfprt
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6OnnRah3f
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs24XaQTLRZ
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO1SnBiQjE

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeGPydpAVx
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOcMWNH2f0
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe2BySX7Yw
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCzbxC6Dfc
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaSjHuAgk9
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxmr0PCB4T
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YrbDj3CmO
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCwtArHkFF
Raditz: “I will..”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QZgprh0FH
Raditz turned to his comrades.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3sz47VYgp
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxETgobFOt
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h2YxFHfox
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtfU8JKCc3
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytTjU7Jiaf
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexTC6xjhC9
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTfdCDtL0f
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCueSg9iBFq
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2HStGIWAA
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJxRIPFnd5
Beet: “Okay!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidFSyHrnfk
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27Hr5HHllR
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oqWxlQWGL
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94m9B8rmes
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d8iAxc7l0
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvenAzwkBP
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGrQ0CF7Us
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ5VqRrE2D
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7OKWLpFif
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TxdnlkoDX
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtNm2BX3z0
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GbFtsDvbS
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hokuv0ZfO
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7liNjivJn
Beet: “O-Okay.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQb4HDpqtg
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VqnjkiEwF
Kakarot: “What happened?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sexLibFyH
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNPUkLmGOA
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSblPFxZS2W
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOu0IZScbo
Kakarot: “Fine.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR89ditsRG
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4RsR7tWkf
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtk3Y3jP5R
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVd1giq2sB
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUPOisf77V
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkpuYaebFB
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtmfpMVWNT
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5yYcGCuyW
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37BBo8pyax
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdduaRgqKiJ
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJfZAMgqaz
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c8g1JiEoV
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhZvOVfAWH
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoj5jaFgSp
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJthOk8Xaj
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkrXQZAHFw
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOqdMBBmD4
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF0F4OJoJ7
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UzEYgXqKz
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uyZnt6XXf
Raditz: “Understood.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99VSj0hsSa
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzepAIFAJN
Raditz departed from the room.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJZa8YSdiW
“Haaaa”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE7zFJ4LZr
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtgKgddVdo
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8PzlrKdcS
Kakarot: “Right.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Xhpn4Yre
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BMST6nCo9
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFa1znVZWW
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNH4qMJq59
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DjS6sSnZh
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDDZgJFhuH
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHgGHVcBLL
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmxCNcbEIQ
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoDrCkZWIN
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxfHPtu3tk
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaWQtZPZ1l
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6Xb3zMNj9
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P9vCl2nd8
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscQom220lT
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpMvbD1P3r
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG6RGphdJp
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCjf71XDPi
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvgA504qFt
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcOqzp32HK
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW8wHODVHi
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGTmt2MJQu
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKmgrihr8p
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TRRCZGgjD
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuPXmQ1cFK
Kakarot turned around.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS8lE3Tj8J
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrLCfmtdw7
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwDb1I8sIp
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo7v4vsRN4
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURnLkCI2mx
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RNpMaz4tZ
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1chh0mqcbO
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOba19UBS0
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIljmgwGIvt
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl07LiRfRr7
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg07xkzA0Hc
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFci31DIFq
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6zT3FeIH8
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpQDknIy98
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAjtYemYn7
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQwjVFzqnG
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYejEnc9emz
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTO79ljVKt
Kakarot: “Right!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO1g5DvkrM
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEA9bqeJgh
Kakarot: “Yes?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPN3Wg2Oa2
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZJZ5wD9vA
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjki6NoBqj
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlQtb7eujs
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI5Oieq782
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFFAtbOU00
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlDtRwN1Hk
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetRqfZQfT9
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrPLOfT4h0
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxmgWXj2ct
Raditz turned to his brother.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhLQr24Ksj
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGKokE2s4W
Raditz: “Right..”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyYc1JtXHH
Raditz took off with his pod.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIQuXpt7ih
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59nWLzAv2S
“Let me take a look.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC41MdETTq
Beep! Beep! Beep!
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXKx3BzZPm
“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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7c0JL99IY
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x2cnXzSWu
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFFxsQQB54
He bowed in respect.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uCQp7J34p
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZKLtM7kBR
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD2gEyY3hc
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwln9esp6Y
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY9Y1x296u
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuVO2ywG7X
Raditz: “As you wish.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jqMoyvDCD
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu1fWo2VYx
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhNTKTR6vq
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn2mj631yV
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S4gZHNXpT
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tf9qb4Yt9
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo2aCKLXan
Zarbon took his leave.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJsubvXrEC
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmWdCJUaNx
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTonZ3avurb
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGJxgdexNC
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dMxQcU6x6
Raditz chuckled.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUrZN4Agds
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRzZluwlaK
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8OapNVTh5
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfUVMncBbG
Beep! Beep! Beep!
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FXK8OX8vu
Raditz: “He's here…”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V2Hok0M5c
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwgzH42QVZ
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt41JvSQp8
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy9XO6onyI
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2vYWRfXCw
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrbEQ11o10
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdam0EVuJ3
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5dagl154K
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbcXjz46f6
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFe3cJK5Nz
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfmvmQbUV0
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV48jkhTWM
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gMgAY97Oo
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQob51iJhb
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyKUibNuQe
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0HdxznJYl
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBNHF6S3RT
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhstudkvP3
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulIzE65Hsv
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKOgdjF0y2
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTiFOmQmnT
Raditz: “Damn it!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGzJBruEJT
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrolm01GVeU
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp2lMXEQF3
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6fLEZ4Hpi
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM7wurVh8a
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTC2T7RYk2
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcjSOXo5w1
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugTutzJgg6
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWigoqWBcGn
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oLUxpl6vn
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXenDhZaZ3
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj8PwuMnIl
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ21C1XPDQA
Beep! Beep! Beep!
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxb9WgTMQm
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE7DLH4Fdi
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtXF0DkJRV
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYIdp4OGwM
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDMt9TliY3
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOaTK031C3
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkgwr5juZm
The pair went forward with their assault. Raining down a barrage of various blows at Raditz. The saiyan warrior fended off every blow, but the overwhelming flurry left no opening for retaliation. He jumped out of their reach but they immediately tracked him with a united ki blast. He blocked the blast, taking no damage from it. He took a surprise kick from behind his head by Zarbon and suffered an immediate follow up punch by Dodoria.

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

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQUyUreM6K
Dodoria: “Why you!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby56hTLBZI
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJIfw9rSmH
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4ShnYiQ9H
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwCczvdE4W
Zarbon: “Damn it! It's really come to this hasn't it? Take a good look saiyan, this is the last thing you'll ever see!”

Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4juifjXlPO
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSqFeWnQKC
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbnqhPPpSP
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa056FGSNTq
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIL6zfOJaE
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN3SbWFI1m

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnhXz4g30a
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRmp2Q77ly

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3OZcaIB9G
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGhrbcGuoA
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F7fAkry3w
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.

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.

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOvoVui3aO

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvzBRoFVYN
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kXN1cB3EX
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE2FfO4yc1

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm75UQnheN

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa32099xNSh
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdautQMpFE
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRPzzIJVZq
Kakarot: “Not again!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YAttLGUrv
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMOgU3bLDx

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatxLKvINkD
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7avO7Btkei
Kakarot: “Look out!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡashImY7CdR
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.

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSix50m4Lw
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzsNBiedTg
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir3Tjcckpj
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28cUTo7koE
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmufZ4XX0d3
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZBLjeiwwJ
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3hVUej7a1

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwrTXuSwr8
Frieza: “You again!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR70KsoB9A
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMgG8wd8Vk
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt9OvmyWSF
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK2aWPd1Pg
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhDkNg66Kw
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh8x2Xs5hi
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV2AxaYnAw
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88D3uNlYIn
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AeQ987PP5
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyfk5VrqtD
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4pLif1izg
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXYnnXGUzX
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEPbxorOsi
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN4gNlvew7
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W5RuIyXNq
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oPptn5v2s
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOz2uZQvR1
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQP6a8o2Bv
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqCSAIf7gR
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaB4g0VO63
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j3ZlaZ7tI
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac2Beufhnn
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzyXZfWvVF
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs5eBT9vOE
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1gX5H8H2C
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNfH77wcEV

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNyn1jUfjC

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rGaumhIMK
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAUpDSwqkl
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl23gS7VaVu

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38YS14M4Mi
“Haaaaaa!!!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP76HcRr2T5
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V3ocmc5D3

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fTXc0dMUr
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsG0eHeqiJ
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNaReTAL69
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5CRmATjZb

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl34Bhvgv7

824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3UWBMWMbn
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJScy6siWX
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheYNdQYcFH
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDDq9UceF0
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGukt3svjl6
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL9e8AhjNr

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtxNXZSbVI
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4Uxaeyovk
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydNJAZQeKJ
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-”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQsxSSaf3Y
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7u4D1PmZE
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMkk6KWJQZ
Kakarot: “It's done…”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMuqbtc2xm
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MblNqOfsm
Vegeta ascended into the air.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQILGJrb8Q
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn9rSEx6tJ
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb1v0BPJAa
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojGk0tzuqR
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXOqio8fbi
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9IKkfhGOE
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTze0VXgJi
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vRL5SnMXT
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQfkYsFJ2n
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEBupg2UbA
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PzVrTdVPR
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoDAqFG3Cz
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aZam4GJMF
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIfw68JD2m
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3oZPEHiwD
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e3bYMPuwi
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkOnFc5Inc
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe57Kt9xRAK
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm57DXCTtRp
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx5zXnoEGB
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR1AOf66yK
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhicrIlmGed
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH5i4kyH0c
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVRcUOIjhc
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP4svRrPOF
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYX8Pgsild
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1rlTBcPMo
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdniJh5ixZw
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kvfFYymWG
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GSUnEHKGK
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LqkxnJ8Wc
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlMfuNliWA
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tdt0N1v6R
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbveT620J9H
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCalJiZ1NG
He looked at his fist in shame.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iOgRLmLeN
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6aLXwEPaC
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvjSvy3DPy
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngHYwMJMto
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqunWjEyCe
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPtTiFNo0C
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3PKNA0KoO
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG3AAFYFeH
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiizNBFJfb
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFUR93y5rl
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QaOYNyuaz
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLZShMqlkK
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7eiKVlIwL
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtld8QhfTod
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoddcS6bRdE
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..”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks4IH1lEIj
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmigJpsE5N8
Kakarot: “No…”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTfK34voLj
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI5Px0wDaJ
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilIu7RRNby
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLtIIkl8N8
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAJLxOckOM
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgax8uWmCP
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90vepaPMTB
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEYfg4SsIZ
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhzSJ8oxMk
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NfMzInJf4
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUhwvAFFeG
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Yg1tCzrzL
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhFOETt78P
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwOW1ISdzp
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvgdeEQSii
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjW0lGeeX7
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQpz8JTp1Q
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWE5HSbURX
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDlzowQl7T
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBvwtPK5FA
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKFP2zRmFV
Raditz bowed down in respect.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnyvF0IXcY
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQroHsOQFAj
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa861vIsWK
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ew1l481rj
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW7vWGjD3S
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQsJ3eOdh6
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdJSZWqBKU
Raditz: “Right!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4NFgQxN2g
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNdxoGnH1m
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfVKIYfm6T
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9SXeGzGpl
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj4rl8xTU8
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYrmClUbSZ
Tears ran down his face.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgA9pgnJ8O
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?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMTRUXzumR
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORqoGqSnAh
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna9W1jR6ID
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyQhbxDBYB
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbVdJgyP6I
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL0uoBXvtI
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOtS1tKmxx
Raditz smirked.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfzO3wvFlm
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs7wyxEvSg
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6eOXL8cyp
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEINgHX4cU
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxw5VzaR4O
He pounded the ground.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHu0oQzVnv
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwuo1i1yK9
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpslmfoL7X
Kakarot: “To fight!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO350WtgID
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquiB8T101K
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSH3Xl7Q9F
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVlareDmuw
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgakTv3I02g
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKxlH4xTXU
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyoTjETZSx
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W2Txl8Wat
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVSeGhAyVb
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG0x3FgWXA
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.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4l44I5Og7
Vegeta: “Wait!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5zVo1dO1v
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.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lZTffIyOr
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay8nddCii4
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ1vgpX041
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpALTY0auq
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLq0Wqa3Ed
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!”
824Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENLVYHa7m6
Shenron: “As you wish."
