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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxIW6A126b
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKMl32aSFD
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4cJpQzSLa
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDkwSZJlCx
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6zLIk0oLk
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcIPi7g6yg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUamZXfZoPN
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm5AG0hTS2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq5DAdvjfD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GsIMqmyKM
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpihhoFHJ0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgBG6alYNX
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIziUBBTh7b
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB7TEMoF2g
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4W7R8GrAT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoARQcN9KTV
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNCCbD5eSs
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0aSyDfxNO
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KmeqChPxP
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxahEMTAVcF
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp1tx07Irj
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx48ezZEOQD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqwD9pPS0l
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIKrHCfXrG
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTA0zINWzD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwJQmrHwY5
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8yaQZ3fBB
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzXYWcZUHt
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0leuHhkPcO
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08eNy5L0N2
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1qpMZaiAG
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM2WH00sH5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkid45UzvK
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U0MTLaT3F
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv45j3pUjAT
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHD3NT5KpY
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBEBeuUv6u
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS7ffFYI0A
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirVIx7kinj
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OrcsiIbl6
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXZxAlLYFr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AsV1Tv7fc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKvQj3Sr0P
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7vMySEUXQ
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvWTThJB0E
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lQf1dJ2lx
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagSi9i8337
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvmN7MUDoq
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHiXuCSkFG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcupsniXgb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV4J8maRw6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcXPICMh0M
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHjliX9QCp
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLD3HwhnWh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf9fwbAhGo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQxOYJXPl5
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjOan1sRcH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ8neog2Lg
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox7RFC23nF
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2aKyB5JxY
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalKzWIKUOo
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJc3sHtFTa
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF6KXHTXaR
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHDrRIJGQD
Beet: “Haaa!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWxmOFQZz8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Mtqt69BT
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSquX38K9cz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG31tzldTpF
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobtY6CrPfa
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRXlQtHMCE
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbwourXjZE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD5qJ7XJXi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQd7aRj9Jb
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd4pXXW2k6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0geoDxzRO
Kakarot: “Enough”!
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuu6sHpTge
Beet: “Huh?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs6bb5nRZl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS6CIfmn0r
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR77bbea8E
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaEhLK0PfF
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nHTh27E6T
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv3so1g9uq
Beet: “Right!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bZh64GbYu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1gzkSk9F6
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKLrRpdr70
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwP2dyTP9R
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA3BGZ6tuh
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd4eelYOXP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo91zl0zpeG
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZqZ9YjkPO
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSXvEHgAyq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U0hak4c13
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeqLBXMbxD
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HxvCMh3Oa
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFAHhfplGU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgt2ZNdbX4
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSDGwTyT1Y

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhfxFppJnc
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mT5XRKJhT

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BT2psnLDd
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzP6IpdwZi
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjlOFQ6dbi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxq9zibL3l
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKDBuhX2U8
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGBTCEFLNz
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9IVG95gJp
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgiBsZkzmJ
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hw5Rxsg8Q
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lwWlT0fX2
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszTBT4pEiB
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MAdmqfCX4
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YKr9OfmY6
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUEUXmnF34
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DDnG6P1Fb
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1jXScSuf2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MNeTZ0rK5
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1RdXeuLBg
Bulma chuckled.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dDe5Q7EvR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLT7HdGm6n
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5HDWvev2Y
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfhxKdW32M
Beet: “Momm!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo6o0pVuba
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iv0DXavk1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJjoRiGy6a
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUXT60UDdW
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFQjYQiD7I
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g2RI1TznL
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAgL06EFQO
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqt9hFplQG
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeVjmH7O6b
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDaZn2xXia
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8aOM8VjCH
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nKUGg5Cni
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlQgMgIMNn
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydKrpjIRE4
Kakarot: “Enough!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsfBqj9WT8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8V5CEtRl5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpiQRQzsq4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADUlXFAU7b
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS1gx2A2TA
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51jZoVpJUq
Beet: “Sir!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl9SXkkpew
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ596yoATMM7
Bulma: “Beet!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gCQ6c5LRj
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46yA3AaBfI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz9YZtzHgS
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYbD9mZYI1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxm1oUxE8J
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylY6JT7wCO
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOAJnT2RWy
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44F4aLSGbw
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt2LzwPEwe
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ736ErxRHoc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsiFacUYk6
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGUyWygFCQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcnOl9fu38
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBKBR9tlC0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Q1k1t8IV
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDousZPuMc
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8awxliDoN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyYHKrqi2r
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ymfG1nDXJ
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU9PhuBq6v
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0zaUqSE9f
Raditz: “You have my word.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSXX38EHzh
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJIdufRDpY
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZL04CHuQT
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAk0oSdwY0
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaom4Vb0aO8
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjsRpXzhb6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIuznHnNH7
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d4qXahSze
Raditz chuckled.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20xEPHuD8S
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87xHLNjNIq
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DUshqfV04
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VSkwoX1Og
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZitoCCa4C
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R5raaC3uJ
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v0mqFzdlU
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlUoi30DjQ
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nspQJ2zQg
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPBU9Dsru8
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKSGs2v8jH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcAPMCrZV9
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAPcCm0STQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEefy7tWGr
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhJvC9anVt
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanMHEzep20
Raditz took a deep breath.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJx77O7bTO
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TxGA5HbRG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZhhqabOSE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxODxwE43d
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkSpiBgitW
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbQc81ctRe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2pqtIII7G
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzfAnZsZKZ
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdfSU0dLoh
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfoYkZpZE8
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO8hvXQzWS
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFmfb2IK60
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtAHtqjCLj
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacTtPkh7G4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vIRgf6Wdc
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGfaLaXUCk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2ag93SkXI
Kakarot: “The prince?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JWyCRiM4N
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO31HWPSei
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhw5OLczcf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU8bnXIVsJ
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH4G5IkgZq
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42IHoE0zag
Kakarot: “….”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmiEq5iEqo
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvqurGZjKE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkvgpitZ6k
Bulma hesitated to reply.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3puaPY6tkC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRQBawBBSa
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn85ZafBDRQ
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPFKJYzkkr
Beet: “Sir!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe7WHC9H8z
He came face to face with his father.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL3cikodwf
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADcLzne28G
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu0jmNkWel
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY4JHCz8OU
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ShDDFJkPq
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflgHzFYHVl
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhPb808e29
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZeBsoVPQA
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGZsEI29df
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmZ2UKNJnK
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK3pdUUZfu
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCimApb3ePJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZK0IYROiS
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV7pWpqPz6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5QJL4ve0H
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBvWOPF8aK
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwihpJc91M
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkhN7bVras
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX0Vg2ULGo
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44OYZQreun
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cJss2MKoC
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV4jcztdkz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhenvqkG2q
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zIlaRIT0Z
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQigpZlcqfG
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxIdljxR06
The prince hesitated.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9YlUa8zpd
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBq03ZULl0
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimbRcb6qr7
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmbdu6HDP1
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV5y9Pz43c
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIRAm2U3XR
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeL13KGMML
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOFE1ive25
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyW6HFq52t
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq2zNNc8Ti
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpvTpk5eFv
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkAQt42p6A
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN9LizEiNz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQSjbl0p2G
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCTG1Sf0eO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLMecZMwOe
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnti94buibQ
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yRioTlk00
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLMyL1ILpS
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWszLmw08a
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjXeDhRtlA
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsyxNkKZVX
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLBAVggU7y
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1G8QpQkLx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOqfNB5ATa
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTob0ckXWs
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3ScSZdDKC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W23PWX8eT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsTs9cSkV6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXCyrU08ST
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnQcRC82Tc
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsK497m70e
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzPeZhgYrH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwRLt5qLVA
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqksgSmmx0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n0QcEiPdI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuqqPCLu8S
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg5EZ6UCkv
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mal46qljQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVWxffOUaT
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCvpzWZesQ
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU60Cmlmog
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFsGtxC0fK
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I5NsUZYBP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN9kzHv1JD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg0XZLCb7z
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUNhalVYBe
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFqCmRrZ8W
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9cd6ypuT7
Kakarot: “What was that?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrzddI1r3Q
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJapsHCDAu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF5ohW9oY3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kKjYp0ldc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDasjs4fPfJ
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSNnOGepH0
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zBSq6QU8R
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ251AysHnCk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPZCXUtLOP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObdgrLqrZ8
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejbnxSpJoK
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVoJzRz2Pr
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaRs1qrzEU
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8HfbqCHTv
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScsTsYK7Nb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKTI0PAUZE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rCMZud29L
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgwEGPrGGL
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf20FN2efe
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCqnmPljtq
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04Ot4b8501
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4D6sZQV7A
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPJ0FRPYAY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRV3rxuRNA
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr3ljpXZEN
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzYZ3KTric
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0146HDvwN
“Your foot is on my tail!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbnnEKaNo7
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv7X04qOqW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqqeY2rFmR
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoR30fR5fU
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyhi27SMS0
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpwCc069WU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTA0ugNh0L
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNza42p1REt
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DDTfs1RKQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOtDP16MNE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncVnTIIPkL
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17STyL3HXW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YyZEYouGF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStVzCIa5iZ
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlaXxBaP6I
Kakarot smiled.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtKD973KIS
Kakarot: “Understood!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIgkNiweHO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSQNKzbLuD
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikNQdKmAmd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvNlEFHxK9
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfd56bVZ80
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9coEG2ic1
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHQq5iegmM
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFk0ccaENt
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3DcAsb7BZ
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v19ghbvJn
Vegeta chuckled.

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TBQfFlJ4T
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OXyNXHcue
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbPGYmjZZA
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD1kOpXLdL
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4ZTVW2mcf
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiq7bugvqo
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ338lwxBWnc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Wfn1stEx
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv2UYJhqJO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAJz2DQ3fk
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7Jl6Rrtyw
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiGgth5JZk
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfm03ci6Ww
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua8z8iTE08
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡketJZZSdX7
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tlc5D8klw
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5EVpgTNq1
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrEzm6g5hO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLwwbnuPQd
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdmuvyKyDB
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIYU9ykUti
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjGaTucpf8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VCooHNHbY
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeRWYfgUU5
He took a peek at his injuries.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2e7ANNZTD
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6rmEvl0hd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIX57ola4B
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjv5lwEZNh

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSoz3iuFd4

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwy6hZMyWC
Kakarot: “Huh?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADRTkU5ZhO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedNDGXvyp9
Raditz: “Why you!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8hcHlOpVS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKlWyq0zfZ
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOlTzWwBi7
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWgE8x8fDr

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqCpBrmvf3
Raditz: ‘Right!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLcSzqKneN
Raditz carefully lifted his brother and took him aboard.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WeyT6lpwG
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OQt5TlCTo
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOLU5x4MEd
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDpeIYMFRK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ij23ZoxY8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf041NEkEq
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wpBPBUFty
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5GhPxswtp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwRMFqu4ST
Doctor: “I will sir.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC6DxhnDjR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLSXesGeNX
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69miKPnSpA
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdK1dyqUqu
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV0cCJd8Mf

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tSqLEaJbV
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnItLseLES0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75ZsA7MQW5
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uV2liF2OZ
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2dxJs933T
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJCNTsXpM7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RBMXTcCyQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45ZssoJt78
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjbXVkeKSF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWEuhlFHGE
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VzbK3x6TB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkydp4SOjs0
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGGB8Luf8O

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZIMacyFrL

The little boy made his way out, trying not to acknowledge the tension in the room.

Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrMaTfxMqu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmouRsJEkgL
Kakarot: “When we win.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCvS0anDzJ

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlbiXsRYp4

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTfYDXXilC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcYfCpb3db
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2HDHC39KP

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5cyKUJoHF
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd4IJdgWba
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uDCmrlB41
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw606VWZA3k

Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J7gASvNxm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ51PJGlUH1
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyelqCp1Kx
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z1Dc5Mlt7
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05NzpyqFdl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQocJFTphZv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX7kDzc0R4
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK57zYcJr8o
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uIKUOyVu7
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O0OKiP248
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G4S2d5AVs
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHDc1mU1aE
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2bmmWaKJU
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDAlOrFOFf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhjNfui136
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFRy8Rw6hi
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhfwtXHwx2
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu9mrVPU7Y
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK0TyfocIt
Raditz: “I will..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUNSp7zLEc
Raditz turned to his comrades.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX18tqSHGY
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdTPcB3rgg
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjgTKQVR8n
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAE0PmSM2X
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbJ9wK74x1
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGTSOplPpD
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeQZoTUrqQ
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiSJyhWP31
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yQ9Zae4mT
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iibhKWF2X
Beet: “Okay!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79kFnv5KFk
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJnetL1sqB
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMovv91kQT
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8hXCcsoYW
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZqKmYX0sD
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWkHE5dlwy
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34yLw4WVWD
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5chYrIOgQy
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMLv0cCUba
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyVxp0jxTW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAppvToOAZ
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfMkYGSWtf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kH40qINRy
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR134DBkDh
Beet: “O-Okay.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM64xZzHNUV
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUNse6k7rq
Kakarot: “What happened?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYRqTx1ba6
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDL2hLNN8C
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfnSPp0Se1
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQwyYj4ySa
Kakarot: “Fine.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWQlrCpvkd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlTdhOd2Hw
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdjsBvRS70
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRHGBV30Ub
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc70lOm632i
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ8sFvxmcd
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxxbA6DAzD
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MRHn3ckIa
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdU3UP7TQ8
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qAntmFFJE
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT8OKpeMuv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NtULCwJE6
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoa3IHPSc8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yk7Mhtm17
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaRRyJdrCb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2CVID4RQz
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzpVVpDLF0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrFS34nOGS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9fPoOQFla
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcojUWU8MEQ
Raditz: “Understood.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsRZUHkOjD
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUaJCJzLDs
Raditz departed from the room.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaB4OQkSBj
“Haaaa”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkvGLraQX9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp12DtUneGS
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobCm12OrTY
Kakarot: “Right.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRdYgSFby4
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡganfJlzBTf
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpytpAX3e8z
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdkiUtcpLm
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbRDX5mKvD
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHtaHaBTlb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDi5KHNAuC
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEV6vR4bXr
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3G5frlWq3
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZBi3yqbA3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFDIjoBCWE
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkrGvW4NFR
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdX1dt0Zm5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lq0gBzRGc
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsnfOnG8z5
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrShT3kFlJ
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcidvUBWT5n
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhYPXNtp66
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVo1xqQBhm
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIwIu8m3K8
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4DTxC3g7U
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WRSrUHDUs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZZBKbf834
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGgtIcpaOF
Kakarot turned around.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfqxlMXTNR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMettwxZ2G
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBMFMGL2pc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0icDILMlt
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5JsdmGKfE
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR889yDCcu
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6aBnk8N6t
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm92D71CTrE
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivsLscIq5S
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTbSVGeYkU
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I7PPjc0Hl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD3zaLN7qh
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIhZkiER0C
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0ugYNEumo
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTODq4bUR5
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HHSp3trWD
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKsHOpUNum
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERlDtOmWAj
Kakarot: “Right!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsuSIOXEWy
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBZ33xTOSy
Kakarot: “Yes?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaJtHgXSnZ
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWCUw1KYKo
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzOD9m0ttV
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWpJQS16Gp
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWMAJhMJEZ
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5KXhgBwiG
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfHWF1e60c
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNqRgWgZ4E
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0MU1uyuTJ
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqPvXYGJCh
Raditz turned to his brother.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu1yiCB0w5
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsztJKjCCF
Raditz: “Right..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1k5BOkogC
Raditz took off with his pod.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JVZ1MZud2
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwHnZMK7jI
“Let me take a look.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsqnmdPFPo
Beep! Beep! Beep!
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q0gdyHuqn
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFHEznQF3u
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VP98woQal
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKNXALITOn
He bowed in respect.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl2eiY0KGb
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiPmTV7nT3
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiODeFnsgm5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRQtjKKzoe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhCx7JBtDW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRh7PuAdyQ
Raditz: “As you wish.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bvTWUROPb
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkF0uejJO5
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB0F2ynWG0
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkabhTxX8Cv
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0F9Zb50Xt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dzJv86cKw
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TH7r5TsH8
Zarbon took his leave.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmruYXz1C3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb9qrYoYCm
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBp67hS0qw
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiI3Pbsp52
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedrouQVIdY
Raditz chuckled.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5zeXP0iTs
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3YuVOeEJO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1Oie9s2c3
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC2Ejn40yy
Beep! Beep! Beep!
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8Hoh7eVvb
Raditz: “He's here…”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnt7VVxh7F
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddizDfLprv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmoPt9IcfA
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lTJl3vnGb
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVyqg1ywZe
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3NdMVtQJE
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SUhLEYwRY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSI4UjIRZg
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GNkcdTj1k
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj5PVx3qYt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOswpOUAdIq
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DD1v0eKwu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh08IQsEMGQ
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge4UWQ8ZB8
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUibUHLROWG
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqYehwlsw0
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrypK0ziGW
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOapxVily62
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUGc7aIQNA
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkV0JoxRH5
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnUky4yrhk
Raditz: “Damn it!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlTfsXs5DN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1blohpSpor
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc15rBmrhaY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kEq16kEq1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAredp9TQE
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjmCV0MQ5n
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rthUiEKeR
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSVEP9aMCX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYWPZ1YUS2
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtSrqq1Q7w
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i9WDih3gP
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU1SotGOi1

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjrw2hEIOa
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybb0unnP0h
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSkALX3pjo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIlyVNYTAX
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifqgrjf4iC
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYU168d56H
The pair went forward with their assault. Raining down a barrage of various blows at Raditz. The saiyan warrior fended off every blow, but the overwhelming flurry left no opening for retaliation. He jumped out of their reach but they immediately tracked him with a united ki blast. He blocked the blast, taking no damage from it. He took a surprise kick from behind his head by Zarbon and suffered an immediate follow up punch by Dodoria.

Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj3jpaJ7H4
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzD9hbarvj
Dodoria: “Why you!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzD4RRao7u
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnYpdBhZFi
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw7ygTdBl0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbn4bD7K0t
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49P58erKNB

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUti5VBGJXe

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXnd9z1tzv

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIW7yGnb6A
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia2fZ9IhWd
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzzphtRECI
Vegeta charged his energy, the entire planet shook in fear of his power. The ground trembled and mountains split. Without further hesitation, Vegeta darted to Frieza, rushing him with various attacks. The tyrant struggled to fend off the attacks, coming to the realization that the prince's gloating was more than just talk.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu0k5NBKSh
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJM0QYcWZQ
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaF6lHfpm8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXggRAJS9tQ
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfxSDKoubZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3IYuQlIxv
Vegeta: “Huh?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1xQn2hshz
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsKcuHy5tF

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWM9PYH5SY
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK5qQkX2Bo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PPVMyu2n1
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yeuBKMSom
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97ezQscCQ6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi3gPCU168
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UW8l4Zjpy
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.

Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMCso19DuE

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTdA9ytNcc
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOihybLl2FL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E9oaDZpWM
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ9lY8LeCo
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdspdkcL0P
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiCWbWmpSx
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC0lRcCBuR
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC2FLD1SKa
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3pzHifOxu
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPLmEODvTf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xKtqJnoRj
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9NXuRaKQP
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVcBdyTlPw
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSnnSgW4YW
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo59EaPDhfJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBtcaftcVq
Frieza: “Y-You-”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoWvGZkvGd

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz9QTqVjUH
Vegeta: “Give it up, Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7CxZ26fvi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZy0E1ePQg
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnrh3PXDV5
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCWwIN9BpQ
Kakarot: “Not again!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr197cqRBA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXiDrd8J4l
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCQmoQiT6S
Frieza lifted his finger, destroying the artificial moon created by Raditz.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIwZGBo6RA
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxjzGSTW1V
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tLcRUrNgu
Kakarot: “Look out!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedxDwn7qlR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lP390VrDX
Raditz: “Nappa!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uNo7zkPsL

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvUAn2R4yX

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvciiWdwEP
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5TX5T25cR
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ2FThrAW3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9tZLKpw4d
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2zEfeeIke
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMObofIqpUL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqGCGZHAus
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LYLnWXIiB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYJ48GmsAY
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3VgkgoXth
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYdWvMd3bh
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA68gRFEIJo

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVqAefvfj9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN9qPmoKQY
Frieza: “You again!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfhKfrJCv1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJXaVj3mP4
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA541EDkkfL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR1kg0Zs1b
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcLQPMuOfE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jHA9d7iRA
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkJQq03EFR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ScejvXuYs
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpMkdq5PAo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDImFuvkxG
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfaa7fxXDK
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhm7nwW36P
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gkSuVJIdM
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKsItAvxqE
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltdff5378F
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrPJXKM1Sa
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWyIn8wzVK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOSTGz5rqr
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgNEhQZF8J
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaD3Bp0nPc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFaZ51PXt7
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv340caKNA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq9ojDuJAj
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PrFzsSVtr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FLXeQCgB8
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsoAZsMn4s

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NJawDhhFR
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBesNcvOtK0
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukcJUUzaZb

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ308v3W3jdj
“Haaaaaa!!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWx6vBjHUn
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHTeuTFEOa

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dr1IH6fmv

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3UVads0uF
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGD74L7Dcc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbGbNLi0kK
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgTSdUe5Rw
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lOrXUFuQ0
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFCmfq0rhz
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PbIEQ8Vgd
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt0t0kEtQ7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtfTvx2xSd
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wSUuYiuCP
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XiSj5sA7d
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nWSpOjMkY

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpIZX8gdua
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zXvo2xiic
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rijS6eQNG
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTtr6VzVgP
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkjUh6yjjL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkrldyCFhO
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3mURBz83o
Kakarot: “It's done…”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCN4mwTARH
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNC4z022WH
Vegeta ascended into the air.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJfLG2SLB8
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdlpH3uc7e
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZngVfQtwB
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a6LBs16wN
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1tZHBwljk
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1i2UZP2c8
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoc8jjCJC7
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHr22EnhLo
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H931yBYuG
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPoSwd805B
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdmsu4XdHX
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXLcrJXX4W
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCg3sEzwea
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd6lXb3bYE
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6UWZe5wuT
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zRYIbdNEA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd4WELsFKL
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzkM1u9RTs
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0kOvksYV5
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OMfqYmYJw
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CWA7yinZL
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRaojaWbS0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Ns69lisS
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DtytNAN2C
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVLaeE4cxa
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Emb3dy8qS
Vegeta: “Even now you play your cards to end up on the winning side. Kakarot isn't a leader like me, he couldn't even bare the responsibility of ruling his own planet after having conquered it. On top of his uncontrollable power, he's unstable and ultimately unfit to rule. Your empire would fall apart and eventually all that power would mean nothing. If you want to win, you stick with me.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NrVt6wyQY
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdRIwZUW1z
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX5k3MYqit
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAFZKwMHHV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I9768gUh2
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”

825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wIFwLfzhF
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6xiJTgSG2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpCQhOFNoR
He looked at his fist in shame.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctjFZsiRtG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZFld1P2Mb
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G2fQ6qeAV
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ773FYdjd1q
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJklnEPZGT
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnitQ5jFo3q
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgqJvN8mzE
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0vzemPrer
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ic5nR5a6z
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT44XxKPeFm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYAswVl1xF
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPA6E1AKiS
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW7J1PhO53
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWDVi4A6xm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZCoYBRVWc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFgHziewfP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GhU5Kh15a
Kakarot: “No…”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwKdoxpGbH
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXczDaGZ8bs
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYaHm4lljM
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9NePoI5si
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutXvEp5euo
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53zb1jzhHB
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4m0BLUq1h
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTMQzp7m4T
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqHzZlHk7B
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32cIiAuGbh
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2nGvzwvL6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLecBKGG2CW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZLKDvwfQl
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMDmzvcUf2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJhdI4QOvm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9KDZIbdzM
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfjMqKcT3k
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjHhUKCyhj
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mQHzeeYMY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd1YQEPZMK
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk6xIFOKbG
Raditz bowed down in respect.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4s3FJdNZN
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx48fKMxEjH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PBmmQKjzx
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpSrPYfgut
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSy0iIJQgd
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1SLEYjjVT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLeI0xg4eT
Raditz: “Right!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBxkW4nYPQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUfgXfN92P
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS9mrlK1Ua
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkDxb3X4MT
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuauLbIuxe
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwctaCFZYS4
Tears ran down his face.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDiYUSBkCO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsnBjClzRX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAnyAMMbrN
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TNrMaV0oA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsEadrd9vI
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv3ROunWyh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQx59Gnu2j
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqQHGn2Quk
Raditz smirked.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeA3gbn5ja
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZsDwbTlr6
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q96Lq65KG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzRT06NvQv
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfD6cCNsC7
He pounded the ground.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8pJ7hzxyS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIL5XClmmD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5KEUYFASx
Kakarot: “To fight!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6w7v93aG2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnaY6tTSu4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tWmKoHBJq
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G8qR2Q9tA
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8NAoEWYI0
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvql7RGfB9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzarOTzx48
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJAi3QYQTk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ZPXWPkWX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypTEHQI2Jb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoA5jlIpJ8
Vegeta: “Wait!”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZqcjTCgPt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaynObjjLc
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCbqJRBLhK
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2srsT9huGi
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9mpLnLaba
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KYrHGCXQ8
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”

Shenron: “As you wish."
