Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI52BqlPxv
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzwAv76iTN
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy2kyC3xxG
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqKgPKix42
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuD4e61X1K
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xjbGcSrJp
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCRWZX15rK
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBCJz47flr
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPdFsKBy9r
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgbMPUulqM
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBaBmfGrtQ
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw42xNLAuoN
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nu0TduHwy
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWilRgIXtIe
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX3lP702h7
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nn7muIvuI
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFdRmNQiOI
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14EhMLjs9F
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.

“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDHfpigkk9
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO8w5rksCY
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HZfiuQPee
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1Ip3btVFJ
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IdFFP3aqk
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJrgJ0Jhwa
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB99wKunUuF
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzOSGrWM8K
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVYWXd5O9a
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDjBaKTyPe
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3rZUIzzKz
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjJBkwizTU
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWUkxH25LK
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBkRs32h59
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBuQqd2oj3
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbunOdNy07
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d95MiKnkb
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADTD9vy3B2
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZXUd64zpf
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxuD3b3hJM
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRR7bGfOzD
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQImaqCpPQ
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVySlV5rzBy
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g6FhQ5OLh
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxvYsCBUFk
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLMEm5Y45E
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0dJ0dH22H
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4idHVB7tx
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotumh7Xw9J
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSoFRBf8jJ
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3Z5KpPgh9
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJs4wSbMNk
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPx1igrO7z
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMHMtj4BAY
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC3hUr43XF
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6tjSVBUnr
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBGySi9TDF
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXI4E7lcP8
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3tW7Vb1lg
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ32J6iqMiF
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq79Quy2ELn
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL7EBQCj7U
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH6eJqN1UZ
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvpvFtB6Pa
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxl96jyFlE
Beet: “Haaa!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ968H5n0rQt
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN8YLjXQQP
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXkCEwrBDN
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o1KaFLM5I
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh37JFjVaM
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC4XQhZH7d
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14WSznRsyy
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-”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5iSXfzeAu
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t9IkYB7NX
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfoaff5eAs
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqMdAnhulh
Kakarot: “Enough”!
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l4ytGnCAV
Beet: “Huh?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphLEeCc290
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqW2DdOqle
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELKfQMDocR
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQg9Wb2yBT
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvd7eNycAU
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVexcdcw6f
Beet: “Right!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14YYzkMNmH
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcH0m127Xp
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9NTLuYSq2
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uLY0f2YJt
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mq02L085h
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPHDSE3CIW
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6IwKReDIJ
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pC3OE0IY6
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJacgdV9FZC
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9TawPpjxS
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz2FTDW4XL
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPInmw7Tvr
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFg3Z4O0Lq
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXnkYGh4t4
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsLp7UPXAP

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrr06b5P3a
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S3T7hRq0c

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtxAcKxmhZ
“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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD0Fq8Pudf
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuil6cQc5h
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYq1xgOFR8
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqiRneGmTp
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinlOg6kHRf
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJxCBTW5ON
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnIXEP7y7Y
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NL5IBfLiD
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoIo36Nmtp
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0xlNhjNqA
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NsOQqlZjX
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8myqbeIoRl
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui8kkUsM3D
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl4MwyM6Ur
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOTioiT7F7
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDoMVKrUX5
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6Yy2MfkOz
Bulma chuckled.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcweIGc6hWV
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡage1bbEI8O
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUNM67DmrF
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6K00RoaHM
Beet: “Momm!!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqejeUalEF
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvbUJ8wMm8
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczMA6Zxavl
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUrT8LpGwu
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2fkC6Z0ux
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujjJQa8TKa
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y5ijSM1UT
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCttUYQqJU6
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i2i9SRdGk
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHZzWP1jHe
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCknmRPyHbx
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa4zEu2mA6
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclSyVcUvUE
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5tP79Mhfj
Kakarot: “Enough!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05pcrvjaWf
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA2SKB8pZo
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc3J5hOVMr
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbjG3u3AtM
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGnh4QyZ0N
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAoOB4lOhn
Beet: “Sir!!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2xLM4EoTl
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgT7eX5KxU
Bulma: “Beet!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dEVkODmfR
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD6ueHIDqK
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aYjLTkrDp
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXdZcogCh2
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbF0FoeRRt
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbJzRj6JMy
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwyNdQZOis
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsm5hkgA3t
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSsFrJb2lD
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLDYoJUHcI
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz11d8Hdjg
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O4kcSQVwS
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IQf4wYmoW
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy5XtqJXzs
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBbTIeUbih
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonSPgOt4pt
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TKR17b0Mh
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoAH5Svein
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjNS2upvX2
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVhCI7dyym
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkGz3U9OXP
Raditz: “You have my word.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWlJn1CTyN
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QufBsK3hv
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmP0AkGj7C
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqgKP7ULZR
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG438OGBLq
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumkIb4lgTk
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?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmBpl7N5PP
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvg5cKiNz2
Raditz chuckled.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh1FjjK2qX
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0vkUiisk4
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeVDk3FJW2
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xhUVgh4vK
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpKKflshjS
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH7i0WYTHJ
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeNcL80Vud
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPtcJljWl8
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQKvSGj0sC
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7TupwifYH
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWx0JetkUa
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87HHvFXVoA
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXgaJTejzm
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjc9m0PxBE
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh1i3lYwIT
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9qeB2w6F5
Raditz took a deep breath.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykjlbVhtp9
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfFO4KeEel
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOQT5SIy7K
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cUavEZ46X
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUtiTsfyi5
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3HdxT2v9I
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?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTngDfmEPHx
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEhSnQpxv2
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33PK2ENSKo
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcgmbAIzLI
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cErtKcBYh
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfokpUSU2Hr
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIi35xltGh
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlhBhDd0Aj
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?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjmKsdaKwp
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OMAWccUmM
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn9QHpOuTj
Kakarot: “The prince?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BxVSSGWnC
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9YM6kvOOI
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbo4XnMw3T
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?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkf1xiDE2C
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRrG0WsK8T
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt8OnUp6lV
Kakarot: “….”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK0m4VC2fz
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dbMG7zSHe
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo2392JlkB
Bulma hesitated to reply.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKoEaXZKnQ
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjYnco7Xm2
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS8OVgEOJF
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9DAVAX7W5
Beet: “Sir!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9bKqBk3CO
He came face to face with his father.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX0Tp3SYvA
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao0wvIBBbo
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGtqQGAXW9
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUvZfeWovH
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2BCODwxTT
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV68bn1tFo
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ1DJjsYzy
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSvBGv9Rpm
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS5djzKUkq
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnniLjYmMT
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8gnMGz0c7
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzEG2ByIGZ
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UKJvkyLX1
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRbqJYUOXS
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.’
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjRRxNoY2M
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTUL63DM0x
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRLwrGky2g
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSARj5ZoOfM
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4BgPG5kqb
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEtsDRVvYa
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hn1XLpD17
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv2a54QW5T
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhKYbLw3oG
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidMZWcu8Uq
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWR7b9IJ9m
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ0WEvuQ0g
The prince hesitated.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr0jwHNozy
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAL5SDypah
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9vf0aqXnl
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaywCTRoCt
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchaibrvJVk
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafIEGXj9OV
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUGeUo8U0k
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz05FhlVfsJ
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfy1SYnxZs
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhto2C4IEB
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz5p2tfnfE
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dyg4oGgWy
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IGxYZMtjj
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhMjV06n89
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsIheAl24T
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpAPZgMAsx
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklJ5Kjqh3h
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskHYLB2JkO
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSuwGCPnVz
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ6ROM65t9
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzbtTuX7NU
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tF3MstUF5
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHcT2j5bG1
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pVF124DGO
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?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJucafZiAW6
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxJGKeObmo
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGn6gYqIga
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u4k9ehbuD
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Br8oEMbbY
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEYfJc2Fx7
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?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK8aPpkchl
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOJRy5yvPT
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Es70shd5b
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTnLFJtfA9
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2CM3XkbN3
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?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGLphHgxA0
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wBj2eTf2b
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdUtcKI54a
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvFlVF5bQX
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC1xJx5HZ5
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKlvLhtoRm
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHT4R8pjbZ
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0TEAhdZsS
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLiX14iajo
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDVvTWy7Ak
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?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOG80Zg3kw
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81pf6tTPyN
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMrcmT5cuZ
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8yPtKBjMj
Kakarot: “What was that?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0fPKE48ho
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphU2XbEjy9
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?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW3fp3QjNx
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqxyAhbFMS
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9QUOBTwX2
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YEnp1NQ30
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fq2lctDCd
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5fMYwoawo
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXsTCxNn57
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhA65FYBwD
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTw431VLKJ
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUEy8G6P1y
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqMLHT8QId
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3By8hHP8N
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UMBfHFI8M
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB3uWF6RCw
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.

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfnQhRE2QY
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”

Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY8lKakkw7
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UZSHWsjaf
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLxrBQQnUv
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDYmMyhyJA
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixLOtdenUZ
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQhMf3aaOj
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3a1vDQtml
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8vRMaIhat
“Your foot is on my tail!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZufCeLbxj
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuHDfjuXQS
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH2u0dLlsy
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbfYAeFFag
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pWzIfIM5L
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydCj38sutz
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtt2bQ0Cdu
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoJ0iVeEce
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE0aKMQpa4
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJVXHG52Ph
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?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm33KFdqWbI
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOVJwNgR1x
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HQAd38mSn
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9FB9Wtpd3
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6z1jEl1zB
Kakarot smiled.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MkZyQDJnL
Kakarot: “Understood!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvfkDGaSgM
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N0Ju23o3V
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl501bToK4
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbiDA91hX6
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pG5GeTWAs
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4O1uFgkJN
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvmUPL74hK
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcbtxjE5H7
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQgtVQ207Q
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaseoQJseh
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9UEOl1rEI

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cI8XeFKIi
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbuchi0xPr
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYWjYzokZC
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.

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvAptS3ErI
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCG50vKE54
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYxQehTQvX
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMdHDp67Bz
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo6UsKhrVJ
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2eSa8tXo6
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpGOlpsOr3
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoymmsTYDX
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7oSkj947s
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOW4OcgjiN

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY8vvEcnj7
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllAOdo8Y22
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd20v9WY5rp
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFND5qmDFP

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiW9EpW4Uz
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLpsgEWji1
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.

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLUG3fXBVG
Kakarot: “Huh?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYXiPUBjEH
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A8K4Xd3E7
Raditz: “Why you!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxnJhtF83h
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcITahyL5Bx
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatmeSw43nv

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsJz5raYkX
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpNDUpJyKL
“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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n6cy1omZn
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40kQGbhOLg
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?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRAYWFa2fW
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLzlkLgcYc
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNQ07Njtzd
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCpX84MtNQ
Doctor: “I will sir.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeoVzqz1yL
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aslRDjoKt
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0NXSOJ2pJ

Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDVEATYuqv
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVNX1pa96x
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSeVNjhUc2
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a1pDT2Wk1
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?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3fCDS3Wna
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZEcaAPJYi
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggGVu7UwDG
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufpwPGguOA

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFodbdn6f09

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVw08xI9K9

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2fQzr0ozb
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFKSAYIhvC
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbyeoQIXad
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxZDzYuynD
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhVBwh2IzV
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLaSnvDZz9
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUFlvBAbZt
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLcoFa7Eql

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7CA6BlxxU
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyFWdE5UuR
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!”

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExMqaSDAYm
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pqpjhGiwQ
Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4EZjdYkwz
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m6QMQEtQL
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda357O4cmt
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVToosVHc5
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqFec96xRz
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZwruVKsGy
Raditz: “I will..”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXwFfhjWt8
Raditz turned to his comrades.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfk0ouMAU5
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX6gxFnz2v
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24t6OcmEdg
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNKqRZ7IMj
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKQy3UExU5
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo40DCAVTQm
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GTbZp2lzG
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7n3nveqCZ
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzulyPtH9n
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0rUy30dCj
Beet: “Okay!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfn7sSWoCj
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv1Y4t9NhO
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5hOhuQ0Le
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuY7Q2leDm
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPvvNHCj8X
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBIP8kFFus
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAz35tMyl0
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDophcGGfKo
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xx2d2ikUr
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0SCINj5yb
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34LK0lDkIh
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXZGSn0emy
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz2yKJrsns
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4mpJ3XPCJ
Beet: “O-Okay.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMS9x1zSzg
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpfwO8OXmL
Kakarot: “What happened?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTDIQEbJX0
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JBtmpKT8j
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEiBnt0fkk
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bUcTjVtQz
Kakarot: “Fine.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqM3TYSXLR
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU11WAYgfHN
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEP9e94KKS
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jbsbRReiw
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pbR3BInWM
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZGREWGftk
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLHLAIFPeO
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uSAvoKIxI
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn56mxwVM9
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmMGRu52qE
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQL4TsIoej
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlwOcSguvd
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa5d6jcbvb
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt0uSEkr95
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDtArhZt2p
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmR7w27DqK
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO2c3hsZwq
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV59kmLFq5c
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySRiztoXLB
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3donS1SsN
Raditz: “Understood.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDpZvEZr0z
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs94hBHcmp
Raditz departed from the room.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4pzJLkPi4
“Haaaa”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUahqRW2Rf1
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98DnBQY16d
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleZS8qScx5
Kakarot: “Right.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHKMBiMp7z
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V9WY9OIS9
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyQ3ZluEWH
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFgs1NQAaQ
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEi424iZ1M
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfgDr3YOaK
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAOvfiZvJ7
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HV6JZSgcb
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcQj3NwhE3
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpfdXRlm3s
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7krTV92Km
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡede9Z94HtZ
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5WpYevggU
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85IozFRJFY
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xD0MWOShQ
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCmT2Jyd2p
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oBrYYlByE
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tJ0jTujG1
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzTPc0DDBn
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IJnIiYSkH
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rQ8bLGDvV
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmrjmMADZT
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKT4udZdxx
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wwAM6sz9c
Kakarot turned around.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zORzHJIHC
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcTzSm9tAL
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszHDHLUvsv
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?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vQHeJq9yz
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqNj5MQC8h
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7XFwYiQ2B
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNH52aEH79
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs13dJkEg1P
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zD3kQ4gkJ
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBnrOxiC4F
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwVNe56Kpi
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXiFidBQpD
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS9cLNVtKz
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9q30tFFqD
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJfkP8vDGc
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn56qeJbM6
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl3iDBmbr0
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTokLpWGaj
Kakarot: “Right!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kHbrBdSUZ
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfTL4JmPeb
Kakarot: “Yes?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL6959HeGT
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxe8cWtXyD
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DarhXnQUy
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMy059SRmo
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPyTmHYbi0
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8PWTBGRXv
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZudou3quX
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxdxBimOUl
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyqq11YLaE
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pkLJxNdmX
Raditz turned to his brother.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdEXSwAMzn
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDiTLXRtqi
Raditz: “Right..”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxEc4hGWls
Raditz took off with his pod.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRNJS1Z8Nx
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MXTa9spAU
“Let me take a look.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5E6qnXkA4
Beep! Beep! Beep!
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdXfF5oHHv
“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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54fS35Wzew
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6phmhWz8nm
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbs72lfnna
He bowed in respect.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RtS5xhtON
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgp3IT5pRJ
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsRqyE0JEs
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUbnLAdLuy
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYK9p4qwMA
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrokCLBpgmf
Raditz: “As you wish.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19UI4JQywT
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10WfJR5ofZ
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyyzU7MFcl
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbn6nwwDCI
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0jCA6CToT
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpsw1S6OyJ
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7n3GEoOqk
Zarbon took his leave.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM3qaInbos
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnbDLfz5ND
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjo2Lzparr
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCUjMCkrPw
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i5LoSKDgn
Raditz chuckled.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1NSpmXWHN
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeL4QG8pE3
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAddsAANqnx
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju5N5dkzUg
Beep! Beep! Beep!
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ty1SVuAbN
Raditz: “He's here…”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETVERxh0ls
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT68VRUvh4K
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sNuMbU4xv
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZmgVTg5ua
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6HoR6rq1T
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj7nWEwUEG
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqfkDGFrGN
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdkBnVZ6VG
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgmXXpdy0u
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8luGwVSLj2
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR6EUMRwpA
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohlTWMI2ho
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22B2vB1fHg
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKV40MyW8K
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTDuMUQs3a
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV02SWw0rFF
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XLzFPx14A
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxPUPnNd9F
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdmQtNJi1D
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hTOQGESL4
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYbSHfixRh
Raditz: “Damn it!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRFIcVn6j1
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAhJKvjWkt
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUvdypsvOm
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJScIuT7oDY
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0fTxcSAYR
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwzXMDchn6
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcjibGQFar
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oP9TKVVEu
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpvvyHNuCj
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZhWhjB0lY
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvYxRcy8n0
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”

Dodoria: “What is it?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA69JyxXkRy
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCbyBbvEfV
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yntQANLBR
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0srTFe6JxL
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPhnSgxlqY
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXjTft8bw2
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefXArZIcaD
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErclJnC5Br
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO0Jh4dwp6
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8beXTKVD39
Dodoria: “Why you!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbSBKf7fNQ
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT74HMXwENM
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL52So0eDjk
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54nvAa7d4A
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!”

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5OdSkhXGD

Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjG4q2V15y
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRBJvEdl7V
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzI1VDE2Ie
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUA0CX1h97
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ5TiYdjId
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecDgHekB2H

Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD9DaHqRFl
Zarbon crashed his arm into Raditz. He pounded the struggling warrior, knocking blood out of him with each blow. Raditz retaliated with a kick to his face. He leaped into the air and scattered a barrage of ki blasts at his monstrous opponent. Zarbon quickly recovered from the attacks and charged forward, headbutting Raditz in his face. Raditz returned the attack with a headbutt of his own. Their fighting took a short pause.

Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ilQRDwfU4
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTs7Vfx0tZ
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwltKz9QBg
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4QnNVrIA2
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.

Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”

The tyrant’s body went through a terrifying metamorphosis. His limbs enlarged at different rates and proportions. His power level burst through the roof, the saiyans began to lose their composure as fear took over their consciousness. Frieza ended his transformation, revealing his true strength.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0dHodoOfR
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”

Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt2wphlMBo
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb5XhBNvJY
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Ch6P5YK3
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnBArQrvB7
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3m3eAGvqY
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFgPRO2Fq5

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycdQt9X4Lm
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLT0z7jPl6
Frieza: “Y-You-”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv7DW2BU14

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDaVkSzhaC
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa30KBulKN
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOjKmWllkF
Kakarot: “Not again!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5uOtjzjOL
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnpNET4jZN
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kFMMUpJjx

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboMFBpH97F
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A571CZ5IZ
Kakarot: “Look out!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVmYxjn6bz
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr64xQhqemr

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgGxXb4HSK
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeNZTzSvaB
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjpjIMQlxY
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ5DzGuh0P
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbBAciiDJG
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdNpp6GUgJ
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0pGvoqfEn
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRmx7GNk7R
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKrxEr7OLr
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRgsDzrRWt

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPcubPwKBZ
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt5i2mxvKA
Frieza: “You again!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuShM5rqtn
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbud1NyhGG5
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IE64WRqdr
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhvYSnd8Hh
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OiIgG4Lt0
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFCVRDFtPv
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3iMUdMMHi
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhmAyySgRV
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXHDorFjqr
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN0rdP7nDc
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyhBLfNipo
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAswjSwSsir
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYJQKm1TtL
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uTFOTt1tC
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4waJGqzUd
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhtbxneBEe
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXgliOz6z9
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VAiDyJMbN
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37mWemXinL
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5yDw8IcSu
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKoZ9z0Xch
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwZzcsVBNS
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9hfsof2r8
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFYiyxEMgT
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKkTEyDFO5
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEI9jEDeY7

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBGap5bzgP
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSl1rZROU1

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj8ni9ZDcq
The trio used the distraction to find an opening in Frieza's attack, piercing through it and hitting the tyrant head on with their combined power. The destructive force of their beam sent Frieza crashing down.

Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa28EGKe7yA
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6ftanocHQ

Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN6PYUmq9Q
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFmxXOJpEy

379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL9quk7dUS
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.

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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTPulatblp
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK1MCibZft
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6yoRgt69J
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoufWliXTy
Kakarot: “It's done…”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70S7FJcLQS
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBZ8r4albU
Vegeta ascended into the air.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQj5IKpF2l
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99AcIAX4VZ
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoLGcNc78F
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uK2CgAgtC
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLuYRq4gKZ
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9TLt6G86r
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLlmnSKWVA
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSnZZZ91E4
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPSWdv0L6D
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFVZuNtVM1
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCe2SUQnnT
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBrW8E01sa
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoNDukwXwU
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiIiu7PpmI
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMzqxapAyX
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT5JcPyOee
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eo4VKibep
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlvnLfud4z
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4IRzryidM
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZMtD0w7wH
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABmVnu64k9
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sjJfMu8RO
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBDbgoGYsi
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD73aakkIw6
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7lFtk4SH3
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dF2lkxncP
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7oxmNOU6I
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NRCFu058q
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9MboLbUIq
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pxz1bB9e9
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiurd1ha4R3
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgzWVQi2Gb
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL8PPX4ePh
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy7Ktnh7tX
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrjkKk0zwe
He looked at his fist in shame.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsIfsM6Gkf
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cweWtKmnm
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4CSXFBZJN
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLykdWxC6R
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxilZIh2J1h
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg9B6sCHmv
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59LcimIPqa
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkgjU88zgu
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruPMqFd2JU
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0t8dlGWHA
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu3FvpR3yz
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyM14mKdx5
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXAj0MrYlk
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcxVY6EajE
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gkx0q3yHO
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..”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nJKlUcdPl
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfk0B5Hrt5
Kakarot: “No…”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpAlti5Kj9
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwc2pPgfbw
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcztkTg67S1
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7UKYkl9jV
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2LdtEH2os
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nfJl9HUpZ
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPVVUQoPtg
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSXpKRNqLe
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ356VA91KZU
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrFrijdUxW
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnpiZOaCEj
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGgQyh9PsR
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8NIjl1seu
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lzEQDEw3C
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj9lC9Cyax
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPYbG9BRDv
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbe2ZCaJh3
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup2afyvNR1
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb66ellNErc
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrWvzp4EzX
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIw3O6LSK1
Raditz bowed down in respect.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShH8QwG6yp
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs66vPH3av
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQluxHePsUL
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqUNIQVGNq
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFur3X0KYm
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu1typHugS
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lPLlC8zHy
Raditz: “Right!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcDpo83Z8K
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNyK0uVRpr
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPCLEy08GI
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWUAktLfNN
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOLnULJuS7
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk2rCkQ5IL
Tears ran down his face.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOeOTfZRFX
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?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKdfxOO7La
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvUAc6HujY
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYFw7Jpgyr
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXgwSFYIYT
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvniRUq3HL
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqJ6m2I0LU
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumF5mQaVZ7
Raditz smirked.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6FvMLmXI3
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNChPzH8Hy
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKfLnAGHx5
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb0DTb0eDZ
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sjq3b1Hgz
He pounded the ground.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04R8j1Vj5s
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezrdTUlNlB
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkAeiyDJqU
Kakarot: “To fight!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWCsdBp1k7
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyLujEEHNv
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWc4NTZgPm
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl1Z5mY0Tl
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7ztti2hgC
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1m6a6bE3p
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nEQ8v6n6S
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwqI2DJhN0
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzcnGRPjzr
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ9MQcdf6Y
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.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K6MWhKane
Vegeta: “Wait!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡragtzwXV7c
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.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzaZC1SbFI
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAjfWRWAJt
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B7nHmqFnL
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuapyCaWNV
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2C1Dx90Rq
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!”
379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrMYNs9lXd
Shenron: “As you wish."
