Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmEoWP4Vkuo
Bardock: “Working under you gave me the opportunity to be the warrior I craved to be, I can admit that, but I think I speak for every saiyan when I say we're tired of being under your watch. We were born to be free and fight for our pleasure! Not for your convenience! This ends now! Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEOEwV30wjo
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAq3K0CVeUxw
Frieza: “No, no. He went through all the trouble of fighting off my soldiers and confronting me directly. I cannot explain why but I feel like I owe him this last duel. Perhaps then this monkey will realize his pathetic place in this universe when he draws his last breaths.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2ieXoQyz8F
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3uBhAGDkG0
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAV0LlVlFpxW
The saiyan warrior launched a fist full of fury and pride. The mighty emperor redirected his punch with a palm strike to his arm. Bardock turned right back around and rushed Frieza with a combination of fierce and rapid punches and kicks. Frieza had no trouble evading and blocking each strike. A smirk was firmly printed on his face, showing the saiyan who was truly in control. Bardock jumped back and quickly shot a ki blast at the tyrant. Frieza stopped the blast with his bare hand. The explosion was a mere calculated distraction from the proud warrior. The smoke hid Bardock's location, giving him the chance to deliver a full power kick to Frieza's liver, followed by a punch, charged with ki, to his face. The blows sent Frieza back a few feet. His smirk was wiped from his face, shifting into an irritated frown.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9LHygN6xtW
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAusBR2Uubtn
The emperor made his move, striking Bardock's rib with his pinky finger at a blinding speed. The saiyan spit blood and lost his balance. Frieza swung his tail, slamming it into his face, knocking more blood out. He struck him a few more times before piercing his leg with a small beam he shot from his finger. Blood gushed out from the wounded warrior's leg. He yelled in agony and held his injured area. The sadistic emperor went for another shot at the saiyan's shoulder this time.
825Please respect copyright.PENANARTVkfyOE5Q
Frieza: “It's a shame knowing you're the last one standing from your side of this war. The prince is under my control and the remaining saiyans are nothing to worry about. The saiyan race has fallen!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkvFZ0uPFi0
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2DNpyq37fS
Bardock: “I guess I was right to think ahead hehe. You're wrong! The saiyan race will never truly fall! You may have conquered all of our remaining warriors, but there's one more! Kakarot! Remember that name! Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApviY55FF5I
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAltSoDf09at
Bardock accepted his fate, but he refused to die in such an insulting manner and let out one final burst of energy from his palm. Frieza raised his finger, generating a massive ball of energy that resembled a sun.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzvksX63dWy
Frieza: “My original intentions were to wipe out all of you monkeys with this war so I could salvage this planet for my own, but perhaps it's best that I make sure no trace of your once thriving society remains.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAx3TY8wfTOO
He lowered his finger, tossing the sphere at Bardock's direction. The attack completely disintegrated Bardock's final stand. With no power left to fight back, the last soldier of the saiyan resistance succumbed to his inevitable fate.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzYxxrrd2hD
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADmZq1nmjtW
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmEwDm6x5ON
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAR0WBCdCM0q
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAg4spX5eKs2
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIA7bHjKPMf
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ0loJYDk0
Commander Red: “How dare you pretend you have a moral high ground! You and I both know you loved every moment out there! You live for this…Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYRyIWYTRZq
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAswbZnLe3dy
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtMN9QWDLo0
The saiyan chopped the Commander in half with his bare hand. He crashed through the roof of the building they stood in and flew off.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA45cByXMaLi
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYR578ZgYcz
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoMysVh1Ofd
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArNWrvV3QeM
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
825Please respect copyright.PENANApqaJJoCagu
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUtK7ljb73j
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
825Please respect copyright.PENANADkhvYWKay6
Kakarot: “My ear piece was damaged during battle. The martial artists from before stepped in but I finally settled the score with them. No one will ever hurt us again.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUkkQQaKIQj
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
825Please respect copyright.PENANANN6yyXvNZZ
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZzmypHwna5
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7RykL2mC7z
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAg5CjGnOjfm
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwAQ5HR7Je5
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaaY6hKV6Yh
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9fX33hbHBL
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuAz65wYsne
Kakarot: “I have no interest in leading these people, they can do whatever they want as far as I care, just as long as we're left unbothered. We should start by thinking about our future.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZznlp4Edg7
For months, the war between Kakarot and the earth's alliance had dragged on, many fell victim to Kakarot's might before the combined forces of the government and even the red ribbon army had fallen, finally ending the conflict. The best martial artists on the planet had their own turmoil with the saiyan but they unfortunately faced the same fate as the rest of his opposition. Despite the terrors that took place, a period of tranquility was achieved at last. A peace that would last for a few years to come.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAV4yw9iMw6L
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARldshP14qK
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsbCcyAAtdh
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcT7Isnbm8V
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5ygDo0M7yU
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAy9nRZh2T65
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqDHYiQokTV
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXUlzKOv3ep
Kakarot: “I haven't even begun to comprehend what lies beyond our planet, what goes on outside our universe was never really of my concern.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWMt5f2eEXN
Bulma: “Well, I've studied quantum mechanics as much as I've studied engineering and there's theories suggesting the possibility of a multiverse. An infinite set of parallel worlds like our own but with minor or sometimes major differences.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACs7R4dT7Eo
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2cPmHbfRv
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8glmz8EnJM
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5GjPL9QyCS
Bulma: “That explains a lot. This isn't just any vehicle though, once I get it figured out, this baby will be able to take us across dimensions! Look, I know we will never be able to undo the damage we caused, I've accepted it was for the greater good, but with this, we could go to other worlds where we exist and prevent this disaster! We can work together and create harmony so they don't have to live with our guilt!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAznGLFScL3m
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoPamosw8Pj
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwU8QjCc1NZ
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAt2NoQ3gKjO
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcPDbzDhi9L
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ23caMsHQ
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHJFaxGuVFB
Bulma: “You know how that boy is, he said he was going to pick some things up from the city, but I'm almost certain he's out in the woods again.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAhSX0oKb8dy
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANALX3osYe3pP
Beet: “Haaa!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQzK8q6Sw8D
Beet kicked at the beast that stood before him, knocking one of its teeth out. The dinosaur remained determined and swung its massive tail at the child who just barely reacted in time to evade it. The dinosaur charged at him, chomping it's jaws at Beet. The boy struggled to escape every bite.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0rPJUbT1BI
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGRj7ixgllR
Beet was whacked by the creature's tail, knocking him over. The dinosaur opened its jaw revealing its terrifying teeth. Beet closed his eyes shut and covered his face, preparing for the worst. The dinosaur bit down, but to his surprise, there was nothing there.
825Please respect copyright.PENANADdh7pFm2O5
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAh0hFoBpWfa
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANUKeVtkijp
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
825Please respect copyright.PENANADuo3YQqU2F
Kakarot: “You're focused on the wrong objective. You can strike its head as many times as you want and it still has the chance to get up again. But-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAKovO4rEJAX
Kakarot snatched the dinosaur's tail and tore it off in the blink of an eye. A big smile took over his face, overcoming his usual serious demeanor. His smile quickly faded as he saw the blood that leaked from the tail.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJC6ADXGEVv
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6lYtb67Z97
A memory of the bloodshed from the war that had taken place crossed through his mind. He took a deep breath for a moment. The dinosaur fled from the scene in fear. Beet darted after it. Kakarot snapped out of his trance.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAi224PXGXKM
Kakarot: “Enough”!
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOW0ue21Cji
Beet: “Huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1bEflX4uYh
Kakarot: “I already got us a boar for dinner, there's no need to kill an opponent that can't fight anymore. It's broken beyond repair, don't carry the burden of being the one who took its life.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAS9TnwimOpH
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACtFkcwEiAc
Kakarot: “Everything we do is for survival. If we need to eat then we'll kill, if we need to defend ourselves then we'll kill. But that thing had nothing left to fight with. There's no reason to finish it off.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlZmU1zBOMV
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5wm25WdJBU
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA27rCfm9V6U
Beet: “Right!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsIlyuOhMu1
The family sat outside around a bonfire. The young Beet was tuckered out from his big day, he rested his head on his mother's lap, giving in to his fatigue. She caressed his soft hair and smiled. Kakarot kept his head low, pondering away at some troublesome thoughts. He caught a glimpse of Bulma staring and immediately looked away, hoping she wouldn't notice.
825Please respect copyright.PENANArXZm92Ewod
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwvy7FgFRkM
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAg99Ea3NVCH
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAW4h3iP94CH
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIjuS5PoBin
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAynv0aa8Fjh
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABNiSkoAo9e
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAT43U4RfES3
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlxU24K7yqV
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADMoQN5pKfr
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtfA8GXN7qT
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgWEFQiPtSQ
Bulma: “Yeah, you weren't exactly a scholar per se, haha! Cramming in those study sessions must be just as new for you as it is for him.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYNiP9CizNn
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANhTa4yEfOM
Bulma: “I love you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0xIZnNIrIv
Kakarot: “I love you too.”

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQbq1CNedFF
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ij3vi440u
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABTvh8SNXXT
“Only a fool would continue this struggle, if we surrender to their commands, at least our people will get to live another day. I'm sorry, Colonel, call off our men.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATAoJVRWGXL
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMUvaZ5EEix
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnNyWL2w2PD
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArFKZ0ujPSy
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0sK6GDVrj
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9719Je1505
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAyt3g2sSHRT
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJK8LROtkhh
King Tuffle: “I have withdrawn my forces as you requested. We'll form an alliance like you desired and lend a hand in your fight. As long as you keep your side of the deal and let us be after it's all done.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAyTVQEUNL5H
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACdD1HNfN1Z
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdGERh4Kscb
Beep! Beep! Beep!
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtTmfcohgoH
“It works just how the rumors said they would. With this technology, tracking frieza's movements will be a breeze.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAx3ZJDjY9RK
“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANASrTSKipogX
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5zKbn3mbjq
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkIqiwhTc3j
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8OQsKhUUGP
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3CsO3eNgsn
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANX8Ztx8kR6
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFehDclhgCX
Bulma chuckled.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGNkgX1ZiXY
Bulma: “Well, as long as we get this baby done, do as you please! You know, I'm surprised you went along with this after all.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAN5Kbdv8Dhs
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANLi5xXjjNw
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkeRhykFtYR
Beet: “Momm!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2YUdZbZZSc
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAS7EHGID15i
The busy mechanic rushed to her son's needs. Kakaort returned to his work but was almost immediately interrupted by a shout coming from outside.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZnBSf9ssSN
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEPIiNrsHrP
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzUgRUhraDi
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1qLPHp3nLH
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAikHB3YPQqb
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACthsJaRdZ6
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3SAWTcNpCA
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIwAGEguHbV
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
825Please respect copyright.PENANARvKTUCbwOD
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6O5xSyH0L1
Kakarot: “You're playing a risky game coming here and demanding to see me all of a sudden. I don't care what you're here for, leave my planet or I'll make you!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgBC7pTEBuz
Raditz: “So, the planet does belong to you after all. That's good to hear. This will be a perfect base to rebuild the saiyan empire hehe.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0z9umm4Y3G
Kakarot: “Enough!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuklMdiyG24
Kakarot flung himself at the unsuspecting saiyan. Raditz noticed at the last second but still managed to evade the frustrated warrior's attacks with ease.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkPGUpkkDuy
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYTLBBosAgO
Kakarot threw a fierce punch which Raditz evaded at blinding speed. His movement played tricks on the saiyan's eyes, leaving behind only an after image with the real Raditz having already got a hold of Kakarot's blind spot. He smacked him away with a mighty backhand.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAt0zEnrg7Uc
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9bi9GzOOB
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4MZNouMFqx
Beet: “Sir!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAumyatfHsA4
Beet rushed to his father's aid, throwing a kick at his uncle. Raditz flicked the child away with a strike from his tail. Beet crashed to the floor, hanging onto his consciousness.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMvr191LMFS
Bulma: “Beet!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAhcZlpVvTEf
Raditz: “The boy will be fine, don't worry about him. That look on your face, Kakarot, it's almost as though you've never tasted absolute defeat like this hehe.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcmLjgeOmbi
Kakarot's breaths were heavy, his body was petrified from fear. The feeling was instantly overwhelmed by a sudden rush of adrenaline. Before he knew it, his body stood, almost on its own. He rushed his brother once more, his blows were suddenly sharper and swifter than before. Raditz found himself putting in effort to defend the assault. Raditz blocked a kick with his forearm only to have it be immediately followed up by an elbow to his face. With only seconds to react, he stopped the attack with his palm, just barely avoiding contact. His eye twitched in irritation.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAO2u4wNQ4Z4
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATZoQo72fu6
He drove his knee straight into Kakarot's stomach, ending his sudden burst instantly. Kakarot collapsed to the ground, his body refused to answer his demands, seemingly paralyzed. He gasped for air, struggling to speak. Raditz raised his hand, reaching towards the defeated man. Bulma yelled at him to stop as Kakarot flinched, accepting his fate. There was a sudden pause from Raditz. Kakarot opened his eyes again, only to see his older brother reaching out to lend a hand. Surprised, Kakarot used his remaining strength to force his hand up and got a grip of Raditz's hand. Raditz helped him to his feet before letting him go.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWvF364ra6w
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnNRSn3IjPo
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARSCz4IMXIo
Raditz: “That's right, I'm your older brother, Kakarot. It may seem a little jarring, but you're from another planet, one that has long since ceased to be. You were presumably sent here to conquer this world, although I never understood why planet 4032-877 of all places.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAR5EgNFrmWt
Kakarot: “I always knew I was different. The people of this world made that clear to me, but I never imagined I'd be from a completely different world.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvMUTWvEqXi
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOw3ZIFld8w
Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAncTeDqZ2U5
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlO3gaPytWT
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxfuEJamXvD
Raditz: “Right, I should cut to the chase. My name is Raditz, sorry for not properly introducing myself earlier. I'm not here for some late family reunion, I'm here to recruit you, little brother.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAux9b92OTU9
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHkfcujGB94
Raditz: “Our Race has long since been reduced to mere numbers you can count with your fingers alone. It wasn't by no natural causes however, our kind were victims of a genocide from a tyrant known as Frieza. He enslaved our people and forced us to do his bidding for decades until we finally stood up to him and waged war against him and his forces. As fate may have had it, our forces soon fell, the rebellion failed and frieza believed it to be easier to simply wipe us out for good. There were some of us however who didn't partake in the war, we were off on duty, unaware of all that went down. For years, Frieza deceived the remaining saiyans into believing a meteor had struck down our planet. We recently found out it was all a lie invented by Frieza to keep the remaining of us loyal to him. What he doesn't know is that neither of us ever took pride in serving him! But this isn't just about fighting for our freedom anymore, this is for our proud race that he dared to look down upon! Join me, brother, let us retake our honor by slaying this bastard!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATzbLWW4Ilp
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAN9Kikdqr6R
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoCoXcF6D5c
Kakarot: “He took everything from you, my life is here, on earth. Besides, I've fought a war all my life, I don't want to jump into another one after we just reached a peaceful era.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEDFA2Q3Dgl
Raditz: “I see.. Well, then let me spend the night with you brother, just for us to connect a bit before I return to my comrades.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAKFQEFbnIUh
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYK0csN89yp
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA397NbbH65e
Raditz: “You have my word.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIDzflOcLKb
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAT7bq5OUbeo
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArAAO6JlV0c
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuQRrADkRmu
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFETn9Ce8vb
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACy8lwWSIA0
Raditz: “You worry too much, child, you're a saiyan like the both of us, a bit of a runt I'll say, but a saiyan nonetheless. You'll grow to be much stronger when you're older. Doesn't that excite you?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQGELz3y2e6
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANQoTDrMj40
Raditz chuckled.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZpCdLx15GR
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPqmTetn1YW
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADfiDAkTOQj
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQjgoQuZw0e
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABBbOgX0MLT
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANx2LqTXceY
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAY6MVqyU2ci
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcpBba50ya0
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOppOq8StZl
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABMORMganAc
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcs8GgE2dSR
Bulma: “Honey, I think I'm gonna sleep early. Don't stay up too late, okay? I still don't really trust him, it's best we get the day over with soon.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuSa7L3E5mQ
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApJcEkcJGTY
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUwDHMlWJZz
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwIJUPLND52
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3wZbBMgb5F
Raditz took a deep breath.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXgU6HMYio2
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqjEl0MJjdM
Kakarot did not question his sibling and partook in his request. The two left the house and walked out into the night sky. Raditz levitated high into the air and Kakarot followed. Raditz came to a sudden halt. He faced the night sky, illuminated by the countless stars, miles away.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcmWAyfKMUi
Raditz: “Take a look, brother, the universe is infinite. Why would you limit yourself to such a pointless, finite world like this one? Don't lie to yourself, this mundane life doesn't suit our kind. We're warriors! Born to fight!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFlIFBFMXrn
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgoUBozGXym
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVdGlOiqkf8
Kakarot: “I've never faced much of a threat on this planet, I've never truly been pushed to my limit. Earlier, when you humiliated me in our battle, I felt something. A rush, one like no other. I was going to die and yet I felt more alive than ever. What was that?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQrOpufRIoh
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcTKUQivueX
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVKdGbEvEqv
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmCM2IOKFTZ
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6m6e3AnLVp
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdAYmqGtbKW
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQvshxtau2S
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQScBKVc2gj
Raditz: “Vaguely, I've heard about him before though. He was a powerful leader of an elite squad. Rumor has it, he was the one who led the rebellion against Frieza. Our father was a great man, Kakarot. Don't you want to take after his footsteps?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjorvs4xnWd
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnSWceoLlZa
Raditz: “I leave tomorrow, I have an extra pod you can take so you can tag along. I can take you to meet the prince so you can join our alliance.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2d4QfpaOGb
Kakarot: “The prince?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAR6JwJgjttR
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAS06KM4Pwhn
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAinqCnsDb0y
Bulma: “I don't understand! We're finally at peace and now you want to run off into another fight that isn't even your own?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAyJiPQldY36
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMJC6UYtzfL
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkrhghoaX0q
Kakarot: “….”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQGfVnkXnHd
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAo0tYD2o2wZ
Kakarot: “For most of my life, I was neglected by the earthlings, I was different and there was no one to guide me through this unwavering sense of inferiority! They're like me, I want to meet them, I need to. Besides, I can't shake this feeling that this is my calling.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwjboxPP9sy
Bulma hesitated to reply.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA34flaOJD6z
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADMwnfancxC
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1UxzBN0JVN
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6W7i4zFea7
Beet: “Sir!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAg0VtEOXUk9
He came face to face with his father.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtEBxwsFuwb
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1wcPmVQjT6
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
825Please respect copyright.PENANATZ9UgBQ5ix
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATkFuaQtQHb
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYO1jnylgOe
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAP6MeX6GrFC
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARFGmG8EvSM
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAc9e2dV7lEf
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEgtaNWnbDp
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfcuGeh1T5I
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAbZEvj047Xm
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAz87o3wntDg
Raditz: “Well, aside from me, the other two saiyans are Nappa and the prince, Vegeta. Unlike us, they're top level elites with the prince being the absolute most powerful.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArJ6IcDNZA0
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOmddbNzOC9
Raditz: “They are, especially the prince. He's the strongest saiyan in history! They're both proud warriors, like me of course. You're on your way to becoming one of us too.’
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaB2uaOtKEe
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAp7gOpOBhAm
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANXKGi9xDnt
In the span of a few hours, the pods arrived at their destination. The Prince and his comrade awaited their arrival, preparing to greet them once they landed. The pods crashed into the designated area, revealing the two saiyans aboard them. Kakarot fought to keep his composure, but couldn't help but smile after gazing upon the mighty warriors that stood before him. He approached them, taking a knee after reaching them.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIsATegQTT3
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZjHppoPpNI
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAD2zDm4rPSV
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7Gw57kUAve
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzoIsvc8NWQ
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ3jIBgmiN
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAeM2lFEEv1k
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAyO8vrSLrko
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFubZtPF34Y
The prince hesitated.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA83eOUJ8Qo5
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAevIyClBxW9
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAB0t8oBqHl8
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAp7TQElNmrs
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcZwiR96tHo
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAhd2q8V3obn
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEWqFgjxIxj
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEtMtOBJUhV
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
825Please respect copyright.PENANATICWWUeVW5
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANmm4q7zCbA
Kakarot examined his surroundings, quickly taking notice of the highly guarded area. The soldiers that surrounded them didn't appear to be saiyans, but they wore similar apparel. Aside from small animals and critters, no other signs of life were present. The vast land ahead of them was empty, only them and the soldiers occupied the space. They entered a large, elegant building with huge pieces of glass art, depicting an unknown civilization of people. They came to a halt in front of a throne with various seats. The prince took his rightful place on the throne as Nappa sat on a seat right beside, displaying a sense of authority. Kakarot and Raditz took a seat on a more mundane section, next to the Colonel in command of the Tuffle army.
825Please respect copyright.PENANALcnqnncAml
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnZimElOvOg
Kakarot: “Yes, he told me about Frieza and what he did to our people. I've agreed to help you crush him on behalf of the saiyan race!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0iRBTnycLv
Vegeta: “You've got spirit, but it's going to take more than that to defeat this scum. You see, aside from his troublesome power, Frieza also wields a powerful army. In order to get to Frieza, we have to get rid of that pesky army first. We've made an alliance with the Tuffle race, he who sits beside you is the commander of their military in fact. Having them on our side is a big help, but we can't be too careless, we need to recruit more allies. Until we get the remaining forces, we must lay low.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAy20idxiiGY
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8Onz7XcUhG
Vegeta: “We've been eyeing a planet known as Tatsu. We hear their kind are great for combat, and legend has it, amongst them is one they call Amaterazu. If he's as strong as they say, forcing him to submit to our leadership could be just the advantage we're looking for!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXPpKU2DDlW
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAemV7Nem59h
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABfZUW6juRs
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAeacblC0ude
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAiSbSDlBO5G
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARtISdk1aOl
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWZZP6g5Es7
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
825Please respect copyright.PENANADWbqhXkrwH
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ7B7py1HP
Vegeta: “I'm having doubts about your little brother, you sure his mind hasn't been corrupted from being away from his people for that long?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApLQbTChxTA
Raditz: “I'll admit, he's a bit of an oddball, but you know me, Prince, I can get him on board, just trust me. Take him to planet Tatsu with us, I'll work my magic.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAP0Gh4aeTZq
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEmxV1Pzi5a
The pair made their way back to the room where the rest waited in silence. Vegeta took his place on his throne, continuing his speech.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAKDltlAd9b0
Vegeta: “Ahem, like I said, we'll be paying the Tatsu race a visit. If luck is on our side, they'll be just what we need to turn the tide on Frieza. Until further notice, we can't make too much commotion though, if Frieza finds out we're plotting against him, it's over. Now then, prepare your pods, we're leaving at noon. You're all dismissed.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVlpBTMI2tm
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAP06NQsWRFK
Kakarot: “Raditz, are we really going to kill all of them if they don't comply? What good would such an act even do for us?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAhCrPXGQmr0
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3zS8tIVCZI
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAScVgPFLptO
Raditz: “Listen, if we let them live, there exists the possibility of Frieza getting to them and getting information we'd rather he didn't have. We can't take that risk. It's just another sacrifice in the name of the greater good is it not? It's not their fault we chose them, but it's not our's that Frieza enslaved us after killing our kind. In order to win some, others must lose some. That is war, for someone that has lived in one all their lives, I'm sure you can understand it.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZJWH2sgdLF
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApxvXz6av7I
Raditz: “Now quit your whining, this is going to be your official, first real fight. Aren't you excited? Don't you want to feel that thrill again?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZzzFIR57A
Kakarot's mood took a sudden turn. A smirk fueled by excitement lit up on his face. He clenched his fists as if the mere thought of battle pumped up his adrenaline.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOrR0CXi5XV
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABQQwHhB3ej
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATxraHWjm5Q
Kakarot: “Please, brother, let me have another go, even if it's just for a few minutes! I want to fight! I want to be a great saiyan like you, and like Prince Vegeta.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9T4jNsHHJW
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAE4cLhZrGwH
825Please respect copyright.PENANABOoHQnvket
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAc9vNqPQxOK
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcS131PfnTY
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjCE8PdszIx
Raditz: “Hehe, what can I say? Can't help being strong! Hmm… there might be a way for you to hold your own y’know?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6NRtNCUZf
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfjnW32xSAj
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtZZIRa4o7g
Raditz raised his hands just above his shoulders. His ki surged into both of his palms, forming purple shaded ki spheres. He released them, shooting forward dual ki waves. He detonated them before they made contact with their surroundings.
825Please respect copyright.PENANABQmLw6WGlk
Kakarot: “What was that?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuFBqTWQ2lU
Raditz: “That's my special move, I call it the Double Sunday. By focusing your energy into a single point, you can let out an attack with more power than your average strike. It took me a while to master this technique, but with practice, you should be able to come up with one of your own.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOBVPk2WOVU
Kakarot: “You never cease to amaze me. Tell me, brother, if Vegeta is the prince, then where do you and Nappa fall in the hierarchy as the last of our kind?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcCyZoYfGZD
Raditz: “Nappa has always been Vegeta's loyal goon. That bootlicking bastard serves as his right hand man, unfortunately, he has the power to back it up too. I, however, am working my way up to a similar position. The prince has been considering giving me a permanent role in the royal force.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANASHWnxTAQ4b
Kakarot: “That sounds great. I hope it all works out for you. I, on the other hand, think Imma settle down with my family for good after all of this is over.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAmPkYllTFw
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOT1BG12yZ9
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANsWYE6BW1a
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAc1vv4X8YSy
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAlualobwYl
Raditz: “You're thinking too much about it. Stick around for longer, in time you'll find that all you seek is here with us.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAx71j3trVai
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMmpPB4EYVh
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUDE1IO4inJ
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVgWuB8iPgO
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVQdoCPYupu
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAG6kduChoQT
Vegeta: “The Colonel has set the coordinates in our pods. The Tuffles also placed some new upgrades to these sweet rides, we'll get there in no time so be ready.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAntdCpb86Wy
They all nodded in approval to the prince before entering their pods. The ships took off at blinding speeds. Kakarot observed the vast, outer space in astonishment. The wonders of the countless worlds beyond his own planet never ceased to amaze him. Before long, the pods crashed into planet Tatsu. The squad left their vehicles to confront their next targets, but to their surprise, the landscape was deserted. Not even the slightest sound of a small gush of wind was audible.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAveyOx1am86
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6qsjsdfPBA
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAulLOkikDSX
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMbyOQ5SAgu
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8KBsR5ugu
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
825Please respect copyright.PENANANa61MlTU80
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAYLAXwIJCK
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGsQrnjUnPi
Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3vgO10D5e0
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAh6yc9iYPKN
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuI50pGwe2f
The eyelids of the creatures twitched. Their joints cracked and snapped out of place before restoring themselves back into their original form. They all turned to each other.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcVKBI0vJFM
“Your foot is on my tail!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAR7KVusc6uM
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVBseKUjOor
The two creatures swung at each other. Their fight created a chain of events, causing more needless fights amongst each other, before long, they were all partaking in a huge brawl.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoMXyQj4q2W
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”

Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoFNCCyb0Ll
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAiGhhfaoR8R
Vegeta: “This is your chance to feel the true thrill of battle. Join us, we're about to show these fools a real rumble! Let em have it, boys!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAufIpjpT4Ib
The mighty prince smashed into a group of the battling creatures, blowing them away with the sheer force of the impact. Nappa lifted his fingers, generating an explosion that took out another bunch. A free for all battle royale commenced. Kakarot hesitated, he watched his comrades partake in the fight, feeling a sense of guilt for their actions. Raditz approached his brother.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwVh92FJr6A
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6xp3hRMbe9
Kakarot: “Could Frieza even hope to interrogate these guys? What information could he even get from people as barbaric and dumb as them? We have no reason to kill them anymore.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACeSOOQDbg8
Raditz: “They're lowlives that serve no purpose to us or even themselves. If we don't do it, they'll just kill each other regardless. Stop listening to those stupid ideals the earthlings instilled upon you. Your mind is telling you no, but what does your heart say?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAyu14Q4ZP2k
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAB5SK9uEY6B
Raditz: “You're neglecting your own desires for something so meaningless. Go! Be saiyan! Show your pride! Us saiyans will conquer together, let them know that! I'll catch up with you later.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAeGBJDIbAP4
Raditz rushed to the battlefield in hopes to get in on the fun. Kakarot observed his fellow saiyans, watching how they fought. The prince made light work of the toughest of creatures, mercilessly ending their lives with single and swift blows. A smile overtook his face with every victory. Kakarot clenched his fists, fighting his urge. The unsuspecting saiyan was caught by a sudden blow to his face. The punch sent him to the floor. He snapped into action and returned the attack, knocking his opponent into another Tatsu, stumbling them both over. They caught their balance and set their targets on Kakarot. Without hesitation, they rushed the novice saiyan simultaneously. Kakarot struggled to fend them off, taking blows left and right from both. One of the creatures punched his gut, staggering the saiyan. His arms fell loose. His blood began to pump again, faster than before. A rush of adrenaline took over his body. He used the opportunity to catch and hold the creature's arm down and countered him with a powerful headbutt. He followed it up with a ki blast that blew the creature into pieces. He dashed to the other enemy, striking the bottom of his jaw with the palm of his hand and used the opening punch a hole through his chest. He immediately set his sight on more nearby opponents as the options were seemingly endless. He jumped into a hoard of the violent species and fought every single one at once. He took multiple blows in the process but returned just as much. Guilt, regret, love, hate, anger, all sense of emotion had lost its meaning, all but one, the overwhelming sense of excitement. He took blows from different angles all at once, the damage didn't slow him down as he leapt into the air and shot a ki blast that created an explosion which blew away a chunk of the hoard. One of them jumped out from behind, preparing a devastating attack. His efforts were intercepted by Vegeta who chopped his arm off and kicked him away. Kakarot turned around, realizing the prince had just saved him from potential danger.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2QCO42Zqd4
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsNCXSn7aKN
Kakarot smiled.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3xF9TTLCAK
Kakarot: “Understood!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2pNzRszacD
The two leapt back into action, taking on the hoard, side by side. They fought together in a flawless sync, their fists complimented each other's style, fighting together as though they were one. The ground trembled once more, more violently than before. The Tatsu species halted their combat and began to flee.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvQWZFGeWXh
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvzw3pGHeqP
A similar looking dragon humanoid emerged from underneath. He was noticeably larger than the rest. Flames burned throughout his body. His presence alone disintegrated bystanders. Sympathy was a foreign concept to the beast as it had no trouble smashing through its own people as it approached the saiyans.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUJtNMES41N
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARoNZWznMBu
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANALBW9W7NewR
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATSdXex3zTQ
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwHdMBmve7D
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjgZFvpzMNP
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVA7pyZRr3R
Vegeta chuckled.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA61aYwfYtBU
Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqT8517gLu6
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApObhBzcO9M
Kakarot jumped into action, pouring down a flurry of various strikes. Modora blocked each attack, delivering a powerful backhand in return. He knocked blood out of the saiyan and shattered some of his armor. Modora grabbed the staggered warrior and smashed him to the ground. His grip remained firm as he continued to slam Kakarot against their surroundings a few more times. His scorching hot skin left its marks on the saiyan.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAI0QblNcs26
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
825Please respect copyright.PENANABNs0FU1HiC
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkOGTGQqP3W
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdRpCQOCzqn
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFIn2y7HpAg
Modora tossed him into the air, he engulfed his fist in flames and slammed it into Kakarot. The powerful blow shot the saiyan through the sky and straight to the ground. He stood up, visibly injured. His breaths were heavy, but to everyone's surprise, his smile remained as strong as ever. He charged back into the battle with no doubts or regrets. He rushed the dragon beast once more, this time, sneaking in a precise jab to the beast's forehead. He continued the assault with a kick to his neck and ki blast to follow it up. Modora slid back a few feet. He was in disbelief with the sudden shift in power. Kakarot's body screamed in pain, but the mighty warrior could only hear the loud thumping of his heart, fueling the adrenaline that gave him life.
825Please respect copyright.PENANArgA4LO2ntY
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAp2ofMsMRma
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3a4uw4u50O
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
825Please respect copyright.PENANASyhRjcgtxA
Raditz: “What the hell? His power level is growing!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0ddF5akvgl
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAeCcT3aH46
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAROedGf9eBV
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAKCTLGXT0fo
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaHmK136Q7O
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApzQ1asTEm0
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA83bnE5pcNf
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJmzXYSVCCG
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOIpMsVKkF5
Modora levitated towards the sky. He raised his palm into the air, where it engulfed itself within a ball of fire only slightly larger than his hand. Kakarot remained on foot. He raised his hands, aiming them at his enemy. They gradually developed a purple glow, sparks of overflowing energy emitted around the glow. He lowered his hands and clenched his fists before raising them in the same position again, letting out two purple beams of energy that circled around one another before merging into one larger beam.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7FbaQjrlla
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJDnOJ4gZOw
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2lFpvJYSQs
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmbPiEqUOzI
The attacks crashed together, Modora's flames were put out almost instantaneously. The mighty beast suffered heavy damage from the blast and collapsed to the ground, steaming from the heat of the blast. Kakarot's eager demeanor faded. Raditz approached his brother in both shock and concern.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvSUwdCbloM
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzSFjzrPGYm
He took a peek at his injuries.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAghTJpiJlk3
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAL2QYpS3ptZ
Kakarot: “I don't know what happened back there, but it was exhilarating! I never knew this is what it meant to be a saiyan.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwhbXRZxhWm
Kakarot raised his arms in the air, he savored his victory for winning had never felt so rewarding. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJHpxPLHbxn
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQtXErqubAP
Vegeta: “I think you've made us all proud today, boy.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8UtcR2qMt1
Kakarot accepted his superior's compliment with a smile.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqsPaCxHzyc
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
825Please respect copyright.PENANASWu4NHp1dS
Raditz: “Kakarot! Look out!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6qhtZ2e2mr
Kakarot: “Huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAeCTGxIdIxV
Modora ascended from the ground with no warning, landing a clean slash with his claws on Kakarot's chest. Blood gushed out as Kakarot collapsed from the off guard attack.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHw9BVOyJjs
Raditz: “Why you!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwaHGEJx6CO
In a mere instant, the angry warrior smited the weakened beast with a single blast, leaving nothing behind. He rushed to attend to his injured sibling. Raditz held him up.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVuLIQnmDeu
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA24lwUYM4VL
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZN97DFvTCj
Kakarot: “What… What h-happened?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2g7RtN4m3W
Vegeta: “Save your breath, boy. Get him to the ship, if we make it back in time, he'll be able to make a full recovery.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2j844xMU9o
Raditz: ‘Right!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAhVAzKaH82I
Raditz carefully lifted his brother and took him aboard.
825Please respect copyright.PENANALnqd0PJTUV
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARr2OJX0WFw
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHfDg6mukH7
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAR6P92ddkC8
“This doesn't make sense, he could have easily taken a full power blow from that thing head on. Why did a simple attack like that nearly do him in? Hmm..I'll have to look further into this later.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARJzLRX6ZSR
The ship took off, heading straight back to planet Plant. Kakarot was immediately rushed into a room with medics as soon as the ship landed.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9JhVJW3iQC
Doctor: “There's not much left to do here other than a few stitches and basic medication. Are you sure his injuries were as severe as you claimed?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUqKzVJDqb9
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABllQqlfR32
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFNgA65s2Wr
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaI3tnXG7YA
Doctor: “I will sir.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2KU9NndhJx
Raditz left the room. Kakarot rested for about an hour before regaining full consciousness. He stretched out his arms. His joints felt relaxed and more flexible than ever. It was almost as though his injuries had never happened.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaE6HaANT25
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApY1R6g8Mdj
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANXPKOvGjn2
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYl6Qrg51Tj
Kakarot: “I see. I don't feel anything though.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2d2Hp1vYMh
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAq9BC2Cpzpc
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHY9eVUNPhb
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAufQunQHbl8
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAm0mOA9WGDB
Raditz: “Cool it down a little. This is going to be a long process, we can't just rush into another planet without knowing if there's anything of value.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADItDtM1YmT
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAohKntWk0FX
Raditz: “I've had that idea too, Frieza would never suspect we'd be hiding out in such a low value planet. To most, your world is useless, but to us, it has all the resources we need and more! But why the sudden change of heart?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgj0wrOeDFK
Kakarot: “If I'm being honest, it's not really about the saiyan empire for me. When this is all over, I'll head back and leave this behind. But if I bring it back home with me, bring you guys home with me, the thrill won't have to end with the war against Frieza. I don't want to leave you guys, but I don't want to leave my family either.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3jBVL5fwt9
Raditz: “If all goes well then you might just get what you're asking for. I still don't understand this obsession you have with your wife and boy though.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAI9FkdKJpcJ
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA94FpZuPG1V
Raditz: “Of course not! Saiyans are born for so much more than that, we only mate to breed more warriors. I couldn't care less what happens after that.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQEXL5uoyHp
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArdBcwkr4KJ
Raditz: “Yeah, you sure do.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAti9Mio8Hm
The brothers shared a laugh together.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAANa81svuO2
Beet: “Sir!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAg7mXPDs09q
The boy eagerly rushed to his father and greeted him with a firm handshake. Kakarot smiled and patted his head.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwz4ERk9UG9
Bulma: “You came back sooner than I expected.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZKmBCUA7Uy
Kakarot: “I couldn't stay away for too long, so after some consideration, my brother and I convinced the others to migrate to earth. That way we don't have to be apart throughout the process.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoDGIokzMZY
Bulma: “Wait, what? You brought them here? Are you crazy?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1FwtWWAuVJ
Kakarot: “They're great people, I promise! I trust them with my life.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEP9oReoJYk
Bulma: “This isn't just about you anymore! I want to be able to trust them with mine and Beet's lives too!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAroHzxGV358
Bulma looked over at her son and gently patted his shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWpU3eNax3i
Bulma: “Go play outside okay? Let me and your father talk.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANALHDiKAFrCA
Beet: “Yes mom!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANALfdPPyyiPT
The little boy made his way out, trying not to acknowledge the tension in the room.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoKXnNKPkHy
Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAT8cynhj0iz
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?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARKm2bsIoxc
Kakarot: “When we win.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAj4AppZqr0k
Bulma: “And what considers us the winners? What happens when survivors of their conquests come looking for revenge?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAy3FsWdwQue
Kakarot: “I’ll stop them.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ4PcHdrZe
Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0TKFuGH9m8
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAV4GqoRFN1k
Bulma: “It is when that desire puts us all at risk!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAI6L3unDkQa
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
825Please respect copyright.PENANASUy2HChocY
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAg6IGO2OAc6
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9Fxw0tnVLY
Kakarot: “Beet!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAN3Wp1N5pDC
Beet: “Yes, sir?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1963kHCQOg
Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtn4rA7Yse7
The boy struggled to contain his excitement and followed his father. Kakarot picked him up and swooped into the air, flying to meet up with the other saiyans. They flew past some damaged cities with frightened citizens running around.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwYc6vRXQ0Z
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvdG7UC0uPL
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmU5rVzzVSo
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAra1l2BSS6C
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.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVYMtGugmXf
The boy simply nodded and watched, incapable of shaking the uneasy feeling from the sight. Kakarot descended near a large space ship, surrounded by soldiers. Beet held on tightly to his father as they walked past the intimidating army. They reached the entrance to the ship.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAW1X7JQXkc1
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHaBfA8z3yY
Kakarot: ‘My apologies, I had some other business to attend to. As you all requested, I've brought my boy. Beet, these are the last remaining saiyans. They're like you and I, you'll learn a lot from them as I have.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9PWegg3Tzj
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9ONotp1xW
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.
825Please respect copyright.PENANADXkT2vkpqH
Beet: “I'm Beet! I've heard a lot about you guys, you're all so awesome in person!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAy9DdND9gtQ
Nappa: “I like this little one!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcBqYBLmdYm
Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAV0lKriukqO
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMFSXp4Twpz
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0mO0XyqhZO
Vegeta looked down at the cheerful boy.
825Please respect copyright.PENANACTenD00xmZ
Vegeta: “Raditz, I'll give you the honor to test the boy's strength yourself.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANTWhI4HeT1

825Please respect copyright.PENANAcAQrjAdbi7
Vegeta: “I don't care, do it again.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5VqCU6CfSV
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAX5zibsnAGW
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA17iXJm9zUe
Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADBkzHfYNbe
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0BpPHWWyQQ

825Please respect copyright.PENANACD9dHH3lxF

825Please respect copyright.PENANAUT5UdZNuv0

825Please respect copyright.PENANAm72u2saAox
Raditz: “I will..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA33SS7VyZh9
Raditz turned to his comrades.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAX7EFQAa3LF
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWJqoHpnLup
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAU6I5lMhRL8
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0cPDggBLkd
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAR8g9JAMQFX
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1EMhpVyEeL
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
825Please respect copyright.PENANADMcU0UPbWU
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUAl6MhHtJE
Beet: “I will, Sir!”

Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAyiyxRolLtY
Beet: “Okay!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVpteKnG3Ys
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZOcvNPA9dS
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcqRR5KvcCl
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6uJaAYzw04
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAKqICe6zhhf
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWnB8kdshOZ
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.

Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATROKcp4oZY
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4e4u02G6zh
Raditz’s scouter went haywire. A powerful wave of energy burst out of the young hybrid's mouth. Raditz's eyes widened before jumping out of the way at the last second. He slowly looked up, immediately noticing the damaged wall from the blast.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAr5pXWgJfiP
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAItk0mKzFHX
He gradually lifted himself up, still shaky from what he had just witnessed. Beet fell to his knees, his body could no longer take the punishment.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQehY5T9jKB
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOmPKunQeE8
Beet: “O-Okay.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxNbNIXPUQW
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZSlCRJbmz8
Kakarot: “What happened?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArXZ3YQjZ6B
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGCIa5GpDqI
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAre1WyKPwyC
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ0hACsrUb
Kakarot: “Fine.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxTFz74hf6p
He stared at his brother for a mere moment before taking off with his son. Raditz made his way to Vegeta's personal room inside the ship. His thoughts ate away at him.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJOkHrSrayF
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdJ8luZ9x1y
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAo2WtDjz0ut
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmRNv74sxtr
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAG4gnvNlhEG
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnzokCEExiN
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHbfhTVvosJ
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7FHDDXzZES
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAq6i2hJuVlM
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7JZNOmOmXd
Vegeta: “The spot you seek is still open for anybody who proves their worth. With that being said, I have faith in you Raditz. I know better than to trust your word, but your actions speak louder, so swear your loyalty to me and I'll continue to keep you in mind as my ears and eyes.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAltxktbZsqP
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA690zuqJbGq
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAXriDk9rB7
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABLmnOodWOJ
Vegeta: “On the contrary, it means he has both the potential of an earthling and a saiyan combined, and that's not even considering it's the boy of a low class like Kakarot.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjmuf35bDT4
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuUGscEhBAA
Vegeta: “You're a sharp one, yes I did. If the rest found out they could breed warriors more powerful than myself, my role as the prince would be diminished. I'd be seen as a joke. I'll have to birth a son of my own to take my place before that. For now however, we won't have to worry about that, I've discouraged any desire to spawn new warriors. Frieza is our only priority. The only lingering issue is Kakarot's boy.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkMat8A4w9v
Raditz: “You won't have to worry about him, sir, he can't use that strength at will. It will be a while before he learns to muster up that power on his own.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzunvGSYKkJ
Vegeta: “I see, time is on our side for now, we can continue to focus on Frieza, until then, can't let the others know about the power hidden within the hybrid, I trust you'll make sure it stays that way.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUtxdWdn5d2
Raditz: “Understood.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6HmeDGRsf4
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcM2fgqu5eg
Raditz departed from the room.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAiNCJWAOm6z
“Haaaa”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWqc79jVuvf
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUQNYeS5KWx
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0txQEo2ySQ
Kakarot: “Right.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHOnjwF0Xk0
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGpylEsCpDX
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADhVKaI6B9t
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAobHODWM5Fv
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYbro81r1gN
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADaG3VYRGGR
Time would fly as the saiyans battled their way through different civilizations, recruiting while simultaneously ending many. Their conquests would take a short pause in between.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWQfqDURqb3
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA00fJKOts63
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxRGwUX5Erd
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcJdqQrDIX0
Bulma: “The man of the house is gone for months with no warning and he's the one who gets to be upset. You stop by less and less every time, I don't even know why you still bother to come at this point since you're probably going to leave again this same night!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARRpO0qCdJp
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXB4lIKzxBI
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJANcaK5UkS
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8Fan48XiMc
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANASz5CWUcyG6
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUR1dGevJUV
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqSXCh72F9F
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoUDylqj7my
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmaCCY9V6xL
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAKHpNHqejh4
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqVdAlZAcSR
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWpadwHa6lw
Beet smiled and hugged his father. The sun couldn't have set sooner as Kakarot stood near the door, preparing to leave. Beet slept peacefully, unaware of his father's absence in the room.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1xvF3QwUeK
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApByOV9DSQJ
Kakarot turned around.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA77f6siDUh9
Bulma: “What happened to you? You're not the man I grew up with. Kakarot is a loving man that fought for peace. He was a man that protected and provided for his family, a loving husband and father. Whoever this us right now, I don't know you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAo0KqwglHdC
Kakarot: “I was everything you needed me to be because you gave me what no one else did, I never once stopped to consider who I wanted to be.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApF8sdmgA17
Bulma: “I only wanted to make you happy and to make you feel safe like you did to me on the day we met! You saved me from the red ribbon army after they tried to kidnap me for my inventions, you remember, right?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1x0Tv35bOM
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuwHSpJBwdJ
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgS8AEWR4b0
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
825Please respect copyright.PENANATap9wZvXSq
Bulma: “You know what's the worst part of this all? Everytime you leave, there's this look on your face, this-this thrill! It's been making me start to think that you actually like what you do out there.. But my greatest fear, is that maybe, you always have.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAt2rhUaXCPX
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArh0970ilBx
He turned right back around and exited the place he once called his home, flying away into the distance. Bulma took a seat on the nearest chair and broke down into tears.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlnjW5tapgu
825Please respect copyright.PENANAymrjSEOQ1J
Vegeta: “Alright boys! The time has finally arrived! We've gathered enough troops and have raised our own battle power significantly throughout the process. I can comfortably say we have a shot at destroying Frieza once and for all! Colonel!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0wH0h3Qhsa
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlQF1UQqY0M
Vegeta: “Prepare the troops and run the plans by them again. Oh, and don't try any sort of rebellion against us this late into the party. I guarantee you we'll be the least of your problems if Frieza gets a hold of you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXucMv9x57r
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9x2w1CNHtf
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwN7GRyBR6l
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAbvQlRMPYCa
Raditz: “Getting too excited for this one might cost you. Don't take Frieza so lightly. Remember the plan little brother, we'll see each other on the other side once it's all over!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANaPSHCjls9
Kakarot: “Right!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAU6E75xQAy8
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADPbjWLAkPV
Kakarot: “Yes?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVtq7HoDiVa
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1onHMUuuV3
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHukTDdnLcx
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArJklGGtD4C
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHEl6FsRdbu
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
825Please respect copyright.PENANALrfNu0CcTD
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxfjVsSHliq
Vegeta: “Raditz, head to your separate pod and take your leave at once, we'll group up in the ship along with the others once the Colonel deems them ready.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAH4v89DNOpu
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAB6EBdWfham
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA98IRFv80pn
Raditz turned to his brother.
825Please respect copyright.PENANASo9TPlwQqX
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtUSUNYrhLG
Raditz: “Right..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAc8ZO20Auts
Raditz took off with his pod.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAquPO3qVkI5
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoIrUWK2oMK
“Let me take a look.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAX033AOgAOz
Beep! Beep! Beep!
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWyNbFWYBQh
“Oh, it's just one of those putrid saiyans. No need to worry, I'll go greet him myself. I just hope his hideous looks don't rub off on my beauty.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvk99z250of
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcXzoYv3OMy
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAx6Jb5O14QW
He bowed in respect.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6IO2B1NU9I
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlMwbBkB81n
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA25tN6xzBXf
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIWo2c5pGl1
Raditz: “I understand, however, I must clarify that these are urgent matters for we've gathered a lot of profitable planets and slaves for him. We have tons of eager customers awaiting his approval. Please, inform the lord as soon as possible! You wouldn't want to make him upset by letting such a big opportunity slip by him.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5EBpcFfqOu
Zarbon: “Hmph. I'll inform him at once. My only conditions are that you stay by my side at all times, I cannot risk you pulling anything sneaky, I know better than to trust YOUR kind.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQpyr6gfhlM
Raditz: “As you wish.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmxuosdK0Gs
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMyMw4KHa1S
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3oy0Vt0Ak2
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATqkTmgu5gi
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABBJeZHHPxD
Vegeta: “Okay, I'll run it all back at once so we're on the same page. Raditz will lure Frieza back to his base with his proposition.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkLw4QYFVqd
Zarbon: “Take a seat over there. There's guards outside so don't even think of anything! I'll step out to let lord Frieza know about your request.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0IEYPpLBe9
Zarbon took his leave.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqxFe3NqxjD
Vegeta: “Once he's got sight of Frieza's ship entering the atmosphere, he'll launch an artificial moon into the sky. That will be our sign to make our move. With this distance, the scouters can't track us but we can't track them either, so Raditz needs to be the one to alert us.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANALq0HK2MfQj
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfDzlF3H1bD
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqtKxgUmHEg
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADC0YuhYBlb
Raditz chuckled.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAi9jflkzMmf
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAA5KtgQcx75
Vegeta: “We'll use the artificial moon to transform into great apes and hit Frieza with everything we've got! A surprise attack to finish him for good! Frieza never leaves without at least one of his right hand men, if we take him out, we get one of them too. Less opposition for us.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZ19VtFKBKh
825Please respect copyright.PENANAln0zz9gD6l
Beep! Beep! Beep!
825Please respect copyright.PENANADI2cx3SlEA
Raditz: “He's here…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6TAayl8hvx
Vegeta: “Once we've wiped that ugly tyrant from this world, we'll send in the troops to help us destroy what's left. Frieza has too many loyal goons that would stand by him even after his demise. No one gets out of here alive!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAX97St7zYPN
Raditz took his stand and shot his artificial moon into the sky, smashing through the roof in the process. The commotion alerted everyone within the site.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEsvKcrbAe8
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqBP3HBqsG2
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAV6w7ZpnI1d
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA65Na6ulvlT
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArQSIUbh6up
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA85sHP89rk9
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJhPmdUmXeP
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjf5qlHhR5Z
The mighty trio shot forth their attack in union, obliterating Frieza's incoming ship, causing the remains to crash into the ground. They landed their ship and reverted to their base forms.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkhAg63NKhR
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAd6iAwUKrI1
Vegeta signaled for the others to follow his lead while the soldiers they had recruited went on to finish Frieza's army of henchmen. They approached Frieza's fallen ship. Vegeta lifted the remains.
825Please respect copyright.PENANABmks91KLMM
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA81vJKsYUYH
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8WMyT59fP7
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAykrOYYPtrA
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtOJ1r6nLY6
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAx7O2wcqWjY
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2r68XZhD3i
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsuIhGRfo1g
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFg2Llsvn9X
Raditz: “Damn it!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAksPs1dJRev
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZi8rHT1dnE
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfxsnJgzDl7
Raditz shot a small blast at the ground, creating a wall of blinding smoke. He lunged himself forward at Dodoria, smashing him through the building.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzkoHIbSLZM
Frieza: “I can't say I'm not impressed, I never expected a simian like you to be able to plan such a calculated rebellion. It's a shame things have once again gone south for you saiyans.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtGHSv90L2I
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuwj09cqDh6
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5rNORaU8c2
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaVEIDVHGkC
Dodoria shot a blast of energy from his mouth. Raditz caught the beam and redirected it back to the sender. Dodoria was blasted away and crashed to the ground. Zarbon approached from behind, going for a surprise kick at Raditz. The saiyan warrior caught on just before the kick connected and blocked the attack. Zarbon was left wide open which Raditz took full advantage of.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoJTCAzYZZY
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9Y2VWlK1X5
A ball of purple energy burst from Raditz's hand, crashing into Zarbon. The impact sent him flying away. He recovered as quickly as he could and reunited with Dodoria.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkB8CmQDoWB
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOUgjreg2xQ
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJKvYOkn1OY
Beep! Beep! Beep!
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xfy35D7dr
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADAet6nkJ2u
Dodoria: “What is it?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtL9sl5QOXr
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6H6zrYFfZr
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUxMvLMtd4C
Zarbon: “Perhaps Lord Frieza made the right move in eliminating their race, their ability to grow should not be overlooked. We have no choice! We have to fight together!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAieyazUMrvD
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6tLSEEQje2
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA560zsn0sh5
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA59uB3MoAcg
The pair went forward with their assault. Raining down a barrage of various blows at Raditz. The saiyan warrior fended off every blow, but the overwhelming flurry left no opening for retaliation. He jumped out of their reach but they immediately tracked him with a united ki blast. He blocked the blast, taking no damage from it. He took a surprise kick from behind his head by Zarbon and suffered an immediate follow up punch by Dodoria.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAv0KZIRg4LI
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkgoyCUdPDV
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
825Please respect copyright.PENANATvJ7e3f5w3
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5Mliweo4qm
Raditz: “Keep talking you tub of lard, you'll be eating those words soon! Hehe.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAbiEFCgMRNY
Dodoria: “Why you!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1X0j8UizCQ
Dodoria charged forward with Zarbon following only a few feet behind. Raditz broke a chunk from the hill and crushed it into dust with his hand. He smirked and threw the left over rubble from the rock into their eyes. The impact shattered their scouters and blinded them temporarily.
825Please respect copyright.PENANArtxMwqtnZj
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjlzZl7WR0i
The saiyan warrior struck Dodoria with a knee to his head. He followed up his kick with a blast that completely blew off his head, killing Jim immediately. Zarbon desperately rubbed his eyes, removing the irritation.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA82D3tJEWu2
Zarbon: “Damn it! It's really come to this hasn't it? Take a good look saiyan, this is the last thing you'll ever see!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6C5A2oXdtk
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAge0Wdxwm5z
Zarbon: “Die!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAobmKbBFXw9
Vegeta: “Both of you, stand back. Frieza is mine to kill.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJu1tGJcYUa
Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPqlXgSicOj
Vegeta: “Don't worry about me. I'm fairly confident I can take him now.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8wrQ0a1Mn8
Kakarot: “We're counting on you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAF3TcCIxUuU
Vegeta nodded before slowly making his way towards Frieza.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJGIwPAHxYg
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAS1o5F4zd5e
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAr1LdQqlKdW
Vegeta charged his energy, the entire planet shook in fear of his power. The ground trembled and mountains split. Without further hesitation, Vegeta darted to Frieza, rushing him with various attacks. The tyrant struggled to fend off the attacks, coming to the realization that the prince's gloating was more than just talk.

Frieza: “Haaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4MyjucyMYW
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgroVh7vboG
Frieza: “I don't need any more of your little demonstration. I'm aware now that if I commit to this fight I could come out on top perhaps, but the other monkeys would likely intervene and ruin it for me. There's no purpose in entertaining this any longer.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1l1hZe6oLs
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwAhEC3PHti
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACV79KJmnl0
Vegeta: “Huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdWMAMcXCQW
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdE4wuYMOUS
Nappa: “I'm not sure! He's bluffing! There's no way he has another form!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmwuKzOLDOw
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAByThn3875u
Zarbon crashed his arm into Raditz. He pounded the struggling warrior, knocking blood out of him with each blow. Raditz retaliated with a kick to his face. He leaped into the air and scattered a barrage of ki blasts at his monstrous opponent. Zarbon quickly recovered from the attacks and charged forward, headbutting Raditz in his face. Raditz returned the attack with a headbutt of his own. Their fighting took a short pause.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAO6WKdMgcFp
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxNQ7SuAFYp
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6aUyd50wq
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8zdSeBzkE6
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArBrthGhqYm
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2Xbf1X6h29
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkgAkVrlOOz
Zarbon darted past Raditz, catching him from behind. He squeezed him tight, gradually crushing his bones.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7pw3Ti3Uw5
Raditz: “Gyyaaaahh!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA27j5jhfkxN
He yelled in pain, powerless to Zarbon's grip.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAslk52cCa2F
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnopP1uTU30
The tyrant’s body went through a terrifying metamorphosis. His limbs enlarged at different rates and proportions. His power level burst through the roof, the saiyans began to lose their composure as fear took over their consciousness. Frieza ended his transformation, revealing his true strength.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXbtlNHKxDN
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMcS2YOwkFd
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4RfllriGgF
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAV9MxhY41T0
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6NMW2cmSSe
Vegeta: “You don't understand, fool, there's nothing we can do anymore..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfz7cPxFCNj
Kakarot: “Nonsense! We have to find a way!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7DrvjodK6M
Zarbon continued to torture the saiyan. His grip only tightened as Raditz grew more powerless to his might.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwJpgyl0Za6
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHzu36ctfp9
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUGXovLGy8F
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEF5TOekDRR
His body grew as he morphed into the beast known as the Oozaru. Zarbon watched in fear as his opponent grew to a massive size. Raditz stomped on him, killing him immediately. He spotted his allies, noticing their struggle.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1ZFR30MH0
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAhPhZjYO0wb
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAupZlgPzpjh
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuXwMxAtqJk
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA63ZIte7UdW
Without further hesitation, the others hit Frieza with an all out blast of their own, caught in between two powerful attacks, the mighty emperor suffered a devastating blow. The smoke cleared and Frieza collapsed to his knees.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHauSTzkuE0
Frieza: “Y-You-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAd8knV7qxnA
Vegeta: “Haha! The mighty Frieza has fallen to his feet at the hands of the saiyan race!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1Iqh9rEfhD
Nappa: “Poor bastard can barely even stand!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABldn7eq4dj
Vegeta: “Give it up, Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlXBdi8VSOd
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJxAfojebbM
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAbJWbNty7H5
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAU9QISmcTlR
Kakarot: “Not again!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgdo6ljEpBJ
Frieza lifted his hand, creating an explosion around them. The force knocked them all away, providing enough distance for him to safely transform. He went through another change, taking on his true form. All of his prior injuries healed.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkeTIs0Ctqo
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAil0W15BeDo
Frieza lifted his finger, destroying the artificial moon created by Raditz.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoZjIsahQvF
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlLVKg5jagC
Faster than any of them could track, Frieza shot a swift and small beam from his finger. Kakarot watched helplessly as the beam headed straight to Vegeta.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAV2Cj2Rie46
Kakarot: “Look out!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAb2Z78zAldP
He reached his arm out, desperately trying to get a hold of the prince and move him away. His efforts were pointless as the beam approached faster than he could close the distance. The laser hit, Nappa collapsed to the ground.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwfh8xABJgu
Raditz: “Nappa!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWHAbh1Uvgk
Vegeta: “Nappa!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnUfDnnuLzB
Nappa held on to what was left of his life, using his last ounces of strength to deliver his final words.
825Please respect copyright.PENANARrSSxWgwCY
Nappa: “D-Don't let this… go in vain, Vegeta… Destroy Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHc51iEA2hq
Vegeta: “Why would you do that?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAip2CuQ4Mvv
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAbStIoWdFdl
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuZheyznrha
Kakarot: “He gave his all simply for a better chance at securing our victory. The least we could do is give nothing but our all to the very end!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5o7r363AW9
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATl3yB4UkJ8
Kakarot: “On the contrary! We're more determined to kill you than ever!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2TRoUaqcMG
Frieza: “I don't recognize this one, but he sure has quite the loud mouth on him.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfvB2kiZSvi
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfdZmJAQXDx
Kakarot commenced the battle by charging headfirst at the cynical tyrant. He lunged forward with a ferocious punch. Frieza dodged the attack with minimal effort. Raditz and Vegeta soon followed along, rushing Frieza with a flurry of attacks of their own. Frieza fended off the attacks with ease, demonstrating his sheer dominance. Kakarot continued his assault. The three attacked together in union. Explosions and bloodshed filled their surroundings as the soldiers from both sides continued their brutal war. Frieza raised his hand, he blew the opposing saiyans away with a wave of force. They retaliated with a ki blast shot in union. Frieza leaped into the air, evading all three at once. Kakarot rushed at him, swinging multiple fierce blows. Frieza dodged them all, returning a kick to his ribs. He spit out blood. The blow left him stunned from the pain. Frieza elbowed his cheek, sending him crashing to the ground. Kakarot shut his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth as he groaned in pain. He felt his broken body struggle to stand, and yet, against all odds, he stood. Vegeta dove straight in with a kick. Frieza caught his leg with his tail. He smirked as he watched the powerless saiyan attempt to free himself from his grasp.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAu7HnEDBjpJ
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAeEQN7yLowS
Vegeta shot a ki blast to the tyrant's face. Frieza flicked the blast away with minimal effort. He delivered a heavy punch to Vegeta's liver. He spit blood and gasped for air. Frieza tossed him into a building and followed it up with an explosion set off by his eyes.
825Please respect copyright.PENANApjClBHMYDo
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAY40PB2Af8G
Raditz unleashed his most devastating move. Frieza stopped it and dispersed the attack with a single hand. He flicked his hand towards himself, pulling Raditz closer with telekinesis.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPBsIEwKJEV
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAciTu8xlVmt
Frieza kicked his jaw, knocking him into a building.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA80jt91t0H6
Frieza: “Such an anticlimactic end it seems.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzGz6Kv0Dzb
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
825Please respect copyright.PENANADz1E7NGRUK
Frieza: “You again!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAU32hjmO5Zx
Kakarot's face dripped in blood, his gaze was tense and focused on Frieza and nothing else. His fury overtook his consciousness, there was no room in his mind for words, only action. He viciously swung at Frieza, his blows ripped through the air. Frieza blocked a punch.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAyVN4hxyNYv
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAz7bEjgqsgL
He yanked his arm and kicked the back of his head, following the attack with a whip from his tail. Kakarot crashed into a nearby building. He burst out from the rubble, charging at Frieza yet again.
825Please respect copyright.PENANARmtLaYM40F
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEHcWBNxKnO
Kakarot landed a knee to Frieza's gut. He balled up his hands together and slammed them into Frieza's back. Frieza fell straight down but caught his balance before crashing against the ground.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5AyGEP2SuO
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAc50iMWUuSB
He lifted his arms, large chunks of rubble went flying towards the saiyan. He smashed through them with his bare fists. Frieza used the distraction to land a mean headbutt to his face. He kneed his gut and punched his jaw. Kakarot was powerless against the tyrant’s onslaught. He took every blow head on. Frieza kicked him into a nearby hill, smashing it into pieces. He flew after the airborne saiyan, juggling him through the air with multiple blows. He delivered another punch to his face, knocking more blood out. Kakarot gradually turned his head back, pushing through Frieza's fist. He grabbed his arm and twisted it. Frieza yelped before getting punched in the mouth. Kakarot grabbed him from his face and zoomed to the nearest building, slamming Frieza's head into it. Frieza kicked him away, creating some distance.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZrpQCophMO
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACYPv35Rcyr
Kakarot's pupils were bright gold, his power shot up as his hair grew. His might shook every nearest planet. Raditz looked up from where he laid.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAi9QurxfhEF
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZEq8irsdh1
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABzxUJP8qKR
Kakarot breached the distance between him and Frieza, landing and uppercut to his jaw. He followed it with a hook to his cheek and a knee to his chin. Frieza blasted him away. He sent forth and endless barrage of blasts, each exploded upon colliding. Kakarot began to force his way through the blasts. Fighting through the pain. He reached Frieza who immediately backed away upon seeing him appear through the attacks.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4bPG5Rjgnn
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVrOAw0AczF
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXg8Nc6rfnP
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtsoHsjNViK
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjhfmAELtIa
Vegeta: “N-No. The super saiyan legend, he's supposed to be a golden warrior. This is different. It's hard to believe, but the one who stands before us is no longer Kakarot. Somehow he's managed to channel the power of the Oozaru without going through the transformation. Kakarot's been overtaken by his own strength, right now, there is no friend or foe, only combat.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANABsEHFhUkMZ
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAPRpa72dkPX
Vegeta: “I'm not entirely sure, but I've seen it before, a saiyan gets overtaken by their own power and leaves us with no choice but to be put down. I… I don't think we can stop Kakarot's rampage.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwmq8FRj0Gf
The two clashed back and forth. Trading blows. With each blow Kakarot grew more powerful and terrifying. His body shut out the pain of his injuries, focusing all of its energy and adrenaline on the fight. He rushed Frieza with a punch to his gut, slamming him into a mountain, smashing it upon crashing. Frieza froze him in place in a sphere of energy and kicked it away like a ball. He repeatedly kicked it around before spiking it to the ground. Kakarot rose from the ground. His armor was shattered and his body was battered. He put his arms out and shouted. His power spiked as the planet trembled. He clenched his fists and opened his mouth. A ball of energy formed in his mouth. Frieza raised his finger.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2tHpQCMgkm
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8b6g0hBA9P
A massive sphere of energy released from Frieza's finger. He tossed it downwards towards Kakarot. Kakarot fired a blast from his mouth. The attacks clashed, each pushed back against the other. The force of their struggle shook planets and stars. Frieza's supernova was claiming the edge, gradually forcing its way to its target. Raditz leaped into action, launching a special attack of his own to push back against the world ending wrecking ball. Vegeta soon followed.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnEB38bAj9a
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAg1Gz90XQZS
The prince unleashed his ultimate attack to support his allies. The three gave their all against the tyrant’s most fearsome attack yet. The planet crumbled, cracks formed on the ground. Soldiers were crushed by rubble or consumed by the planet's scars. Frieza's body bulked up.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAKHUig04Uaw
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHWUgOIviE7
Raditz: “D-Damn! We're losing the struggle!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAL5FtSkwEc5
825Please respect copyright.PENANATLcZIQ2j2h
Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmhr8Z1JCiE
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfxwFUbubJX
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6FQDl8bPDU
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQXYtsD0eWm
“Haaaaaa!!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANANRZWxPbEff
The trio used the distraction to find an opening in Frieza's attack, piercing through it and hitting the tyrant head on with their combined power. The destructive force of their beam sent Frieza crashing down.
825Please respect copyright.PENANADky1bLBJ89
Raditz: “We actually did it…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQb09w2uAQa
Vegeta: “Raditz! Look out!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA73Qgki9KqX
Raditz: “Huh?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACrqmDlhnwA
Before he could react, Raditz was struck by a mighty backhand from Kakarot.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwUyA1Vl1bV
Kakarot: “Rrrraaaahhhh!!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoJNiydWIgF
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0sDRR8vPBY
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkittco6jKT
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7t58Eyit1k
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuT0rEXE96w
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJAFetBvTPg
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHM7whGHocd
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMVctH8Iepl
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAkdNmQhUfYf
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
825Please respect copyright.PENANACbA962h0Ii
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAsMmkVCYXPJ
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3XuMxUqpRL
Kakarot: “B-Brother… I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA67l8bF5Qa8
Raditz: “Oh shut up… I'm fine.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQBwDDO7lLM
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApYFMAmTe9r
Frieza used the last of his strength to shoot one last attack at Kakarot while his back was turned. Kakarot felt a new sensation, a 6th sense that allowed him to feel the attack heading towards him. He turned around and punched the attack away. He approached Frieza at blinding speeds. He stood in front of him for a moment, looking down at him.
825Please respect copyright.PENANACLnD0EtlJA
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANArMWZR52oI6
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVFbjndQaTy
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxoo4NOsDhF
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAZbxCYjTwxM
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwtJo3jNaYF
Kakarot: “It's done…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuuG6r8EfX4
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtzKD9PS6BW
Vegeta ascended into the air.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAffgCX5c5dM
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANALnicaKQBCX
Their military began to retreat back to the ship. Frieza's men fell to their knees, some begged for their lives, others preferred to perish than betray their lord. Everyone regrouped in the ship. The ship took off into space, leaving not too far away from the atmosphere of the planet.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAwMinCnrIZ9
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAruY9pnEedX
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3BY7FKqVOK
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxVsriTj1x7
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdnx4DIprNi
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAs2Uj2jnZMb
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAaR8fF8U3PX
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuGsyV6qrvV
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdHLCMssSOQ
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAccY2Q785KI
The Colonel smirked after securing his success and retreated to another room. Vegeta on the other hand, couldn't find it in himself to crack as much as a smile. Kakarot took a seat.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA4CzYdaKCa6
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFy3f4pNK97
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANASnvhy4HlsP
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJOX33yW8t0
Vegeta glared at Kakarot. His gaze was locked in on him for the entire ride back home. The ship landed on earth. After all the action, everyone was fatigued and mentally drained. They took the rest of the day off to rest. The next day couldn't have come any sooner. Raditz reported to the “Battle Station,” as per Vegeta's request earlier.
825Please respect copyright.PENANARG3B7kajVI
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAO7XQWSRvdc
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXeQ97I8OyN
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAskxN0ZPjKB
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzemw0NKwIg
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANADVV3MtioOb
Vegeta: “With Nappa gone, his position has been left open. I'm providing you an opportunity to seal the deal for good and sit by me as a conqueror.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXbjytHPzHa
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA1qL7XQHWtK
Vegeta: “I can read you like a book, Raditz, you're a notorious schemer. With Kakarot rising in the hierarchy, you've gained the perfect opportunity to seize the throne from me by his side and let your bloodline rule for centuries to come. But I'm telling you know, it's a plan doomed to fail.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACB0IRXtiWZ
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAlRJtqjG9l0
Vegeta: “Even now you play your cards to end up on the winning side. Kakarot isn't a leader like me, he couldn't even bare the responsibility of ruling his own planet after having conquered it. On top of his uncontrollable power, he's unstable and ultimately unfit to rule. Your empire would fall apart and eventually all that power would mean nothing. If you want to win, you stick with me.”

Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
825Please respect copyright.PENANARPM7fl3eTu
Vegeta: “I know your real problem, Raditz. This isn't about you choosing which side benefits you most, you've simply grown soft. His earthling nature has rubbed off on you, but both you and I know that this mentality is his greatest flaw. One that will cost him dearly one day, one that will cost YOU everything. You're a saiyan warrior, you know what the right choice here is.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAntUShu2MjL
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWUXT7DC2sq
Vegeta: “He has a soft spot for you, the same way you talked that fool into joining us is the same way you’ll convince him to leave for good. I can't afford having him show me up, it would permanently bruise my reputation. I need you to get rid of him one way or another. This is your final task to secure your spot next to me.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACoxPuQd544
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAvY1Cy5hZzW
825Please respect copyright.PENANA8OhghyMwbs
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGsGwPEYwXc
Kakarot: “I've avenged our people, I should feel great and yet I feel more conflicted than ever. Everything was great and now I'm back to square one.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzGjcNxQ5Go
He looked at his fist in shame.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAdk6Y3Yauss
Kakarot: “That moment, it felt so strange. Losing myself in battle is a common occurrence, but in that moment, I feared nothing, not for my life or even the life of my comrades. I almost killed my own brother. I'm lying to myself, the truth…. The truth is I loved it… but it scared me.. Bulma… Beet, they're probably still waiting for me. I haven't seen them for a while.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxkPWwEexQ0
825Please respect copyright.PENANAegQxhaxC64
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAoxxiYBjyqb
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAOFwDPD2K6
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAA0RfdpLYXK
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgor2Oj9ma8
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAa8iMX4DFss
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAX56knsvt5N
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA5hMKkXKBnI
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnyM7F7PxeS
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAk68kZXBT5Y
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAgeAuJL9c3D
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOH0OBMhD2I
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAQFzZnGccJS
Raditz: “One of Frieza's goons, Frieza had many connections… I guess they didn't waste time in tracking us. They damaged my scouter too, I couldn't get a hold of you sooner..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANARjfUwKbOvv
Kakarot rushed inside, disregarding his brother. He tossed aside the rubble that he once called his home. After some digging, he found Bulma and Beet, laying still on the ground, stained from their own blood.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAe6pkAnpi9s
Kakarot: “No…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATpQsbt4pRu
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxUzhJfz3iQ
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7YB5Ufjkxz
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVmSlTZvpRo
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAH9UgfJR8zK
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAfXz97UheYO
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAjNrB6MTe0d
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATJA8vGW70r
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAeI6bApeBrl
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUboQ7f4MHr
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYSQddyrI3u
Kakarot sensed an incoming attack but was too late to react. Raditz shot a blast through Kakarot's back from behind, piercing through his liver. Blood dripped from Kakarot's wound and mouth. He laid on the ground, struggling to move or speak.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAtAwnNtkM9R
Raditz: “I really wish it didn't have to come to this, brother, but the prince is right, being around you made me soft, I had to let go of you if I truly wanted to succeed.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWRtvXscnlI
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAzwPhV3bBZ8
Raditz: “Back then when we destroyed the Tatsus, I learned something. Our power levels drop in moments of vulnerability, even the weakest of warriors can fatally wound the mightiest in such a scenario. To think your biggest weakness would be your heart in the end haha! Let my words sink in while you draw your last breaths.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAeprJekgG9T
Raditz flew away, leaving his brother to die. Kakarot helplessly looked at his deceased family, unable to speak or move properly. The rain left him colder than his body was already getting. He groaned in pain for a while before his groans gradually died out and his eyes fell shut.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAUHv3bN3bJd
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAJWidHvHKl1
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGMtnokTE1o
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAVEkkOuesWX
Vegeta: “That's what I like to hear! I'm a man of my word, from here on out, you're my right hand man.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFFsSv2awUv
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAC5zNvqnv8X
Raditz bowed down in respect.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAvwW6V5YvE
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAOPCgBSfZTr
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAGiyqRpvk4l
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAqPKyBvs2rz
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApQxphElALN
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
825Please respect copyright.PENANANFAEyBRD3L
Vegeta: “Well, looks like we have a mess to clean up. In his condition, he won't last very long. Assist me, Raditz, let's make sure he stays down this time!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAv3x1PZgA63
Raditz: “Right!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ru6EFZRy1
Kakarot: “I-I don't understand! What happened t-to the saiyan pride! We were friends working towards the same goal! What about N-Nappa!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApv0EWdw7tT
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMNkJGcsb0K
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAKCiO4ajysC
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAIFtFs5qPhz
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAiDd0P8Ayw6
Tears ran down his face.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAcAqXxn1Eaj
Kakarot: “I gave up everything to be a part of you all! B-But you're just like everyone else.. power, control, that's all that really matters to you huh? Saiyan pride is nothing but a load of bullshit! It was never about Frieza or the saiyans was it?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAAsG2rycFD9
Vegeta: “Of course not! The strong survive and the weak die. Those not willing to do anything to remain at the top and nothing less, are mere weaklings simply waiting to die!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAD4JsOJic8E
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAFiarbG0DvR
He shot a blast at his fellow saiyans. They evaded his attack and rushed to attack him. Vegeta and Raditz attacked from left and right, overwhelming Kakarot with various combinations. He fended off the attacks but had no room to counter. Raditz kicked his injured liver, staggering Kakarot. Vegeta used the opening to land a straight right to his face. The saiyans kicked him away in union. Kakarot crashed through a wall from the building. They immediately continued their assault, following him outside, raining ki blasts on him like the rain that poured from the clouds. Kakarot struggled to free himself from the pressure, taking the blasts head on. He got a sudden burst of power and used it to hit Vegeta with an energy blast that knocked him away.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA10wqbK30Sv
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA7prIj2jRNq
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA2RvrfDlyO2
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAV1ZSPYjWEZ
Raditz smirked.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAHiHJlAxsjP
Raditz: “I w-wont lie to you.. I really did care about yo-u.. Br-other. B-But that love made me weak. The w-weak don't survive.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANApFO8Qbhjpu
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAeA3tsw2cuB
Vegeta came in with a kick that knocked Kakarot off of Raditz. Kakarot got on his knees and rested his hands on the floor. Tears ran down his face. He laughed hysterically while simultaneously sobbing in a disturbing fashion.
825Please respect copyright.PENANArJEiCHXkSP
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAEUZc5oXkG0
He pounded the ground.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAnUO5J1rQ79
Kakarot: “I should thank you, brother, you've opened my eyes! Both of you have! I spent too much time caring about meaningless, worthless things. I'm Kakarot, the greatest warrior that ever was and ever will be! I was only born for one thing and one thing only!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANATdXXfFtJe1
His hair grew in length and his pupils turned golden. His eyes developed a red, deep outline. He stood up, his demeanor was more relaxed from before and he had no trouble standing.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAExszrfQrhc
Kakarot: “To fight!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAMy5TdYyTzF
He dashed at them, striking them both at the same time. He grabbed Vegeta from his face and slammed him into the ground. He then turned around and elbowed Raditz in his eye, followed by a knee to his nose. Raditz held his nose in pain as it leaked blood. Kakarot punched a hole through Raditz's gut. He spit blood, holding onto his brother's arm.
825Please respect copyright.PENANApnEA4NZxNz
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
825Please respect copyright.PENANACMfRWXCm2h
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA3zu01DNKh9
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAn0owhlEI2g
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA9SJu7HIoSc
The prince launched a fierce attack. Kakarot deflected it with his bare hands. He rushed to Vegeta, ramming into him with a headbutt. He kicked him away and shot a blast to follow up. Vegeta came crashing down, struggling to stand. Kakarot dropped his knee into his spine.
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q40z4aSZM
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAXxVtanvPCl
Kakarot grabbed him from his hair and slammed his face on the ground repeatedly. The pain in his wounds diminished as his strength grew. He got off the prince and turned him around to face him.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAWB131jAnDS
Vegeta: “You don't… want to do this, Kakarot.. I didn't want to tell you… but we've discovered these magical orbs known as the dragon balls… I have one in my possession.. The plan was to use them to make me immortal, but we can restore your family instead, you won't be able to do this without me!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAuFSnKiiFXA
Kakarot: “You still think this is about my family? Or even your betrayal? I've spent my entire life, devoting myself to other people. I spent my childhood wanting to be accepted and a portion of my early adulthood fighting a war to live a peaceful life with a woman. I dedicated the rest to a family and eventually to you guys. I thought this was all for me, but it was always for everyone but ME. But now, this isn't about the saiyans, this isn't about my family, or even about your betrayal, this is about me! There's nothing left to distract me from my real destiny and I've never felt more satisfied! So go to hell, Vegeta.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANA0vfn8trWQK
Vegeta: “Wait!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAit098MknsC
Kakarot finished Vegeta with a blast, leaving his corpse to rot. He looked up at the sky, showering in the rain. He smiled brighter than he ever had. The universe's greatest warrior had been born.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAl8Vu8eqlCI
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAmNopyEOPwe
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAxrTiRJrTOz
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAYhyGkZBtqj
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
825Please respect copyright.PENANAE1k5eSspaa
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!”
825Please respect copyright.PENANAl7P0zZNcKi
Shenron: “As you wish."
