Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ocXakPGoM
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosD8YtVeaP
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoHs8yb01M
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hNWLQokEf
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5oi3n2Kgr
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONzx4UGsRD
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ThMi5Vqil
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuXsYHcNJP
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa5LnfDk3w
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ASk8ELNJ5
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeED7ygJrZB
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAbSbOys0f
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkxkcMyvt9
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh2mPpUa2n
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9kstkUd8z
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mRFHVacc8
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XPav9zEFD
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XEH4NU2hM
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVbBxFevum
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSieZetuJn
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HoU4s1hgE
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4eI0qwa8y
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wAFrNhZ6z
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd2tavYVod
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxeriLb0at
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwOgCiFZix
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrfX38Ui11
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhQfYedbyd
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNTC4e0kPh
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5S2gO3I4G
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Xw9V4pTr
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SFkchQjrH
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDceL0Ezxj
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ5cEHLt5A
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfdcY0hEQ7
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgvvpapgud
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVmo0xyc5C
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU6oawoRmd
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEd0ocLjCQ
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnrKHZyiGB
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxrqOq0F8u
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5cRebL4wf
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRcXHOpVjY
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Y6zp7c4X
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVouiH2ZNci
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPmKaUkkCM
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMDsoDFrxx
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Rda5ED2C
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe57g38Z9Ga
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYwal6yY33
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD97Qk40zry
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9XeniHhDn
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ks7ImBxyM
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeAOQR20cQ
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpS8hTPvon
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWA5HT2cte
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxmv0baDQl
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSwkLdtY5A
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQUy322ckx
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31JxUL6nkq
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz14lu3aaxY
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUXHqCB4fW
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI7hR3VLaG
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vwikcA8FQ
Beet: “Haaa!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9DMWj9pRw
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nu7mOZMI8
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvyfEFMA1S
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkCRFX7JKF
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVGoIIirFl
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD8J224fBY
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOvjHbOEVc
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-”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr3WXjx7Ej
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDZYpPcJal
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGtrzbxrvC
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlUElvmxK8
Kakarot: “Enough”!
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6347mlQa2u
Beet: “Huh?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7xXMuffjl
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXkxGbIG8v
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNzGn9w2hu
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7D55AkqV6
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmvSRtOrPN
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tgbrd5SgU
Beet: “Right!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRlsnHmoXR
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoxlXEyxSE
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDH7Lyke4Z
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8dt8Uprpl
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQQAyIteEP
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tFF7tFQQa
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbGOC4qZwc
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUprlt7HVz
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWvgoLMeA2
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KFjMwQlEg
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EUa8MftMy
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN87ODLLIJR
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcBCafVkP7
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DbVPNnibq
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphfHiUzsLG

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHi6OtaycZ
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLspZseAvQ

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUWdVziXYT
“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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OObWQynjV
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEWNs3wxOa
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopwD8NN69F
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9QF0NFzbv
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZsk7T2gBh
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kziwc9FPV
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNNkbyo350
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN194qpwqYP
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhtcttPy4j
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f4RucNF7o
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeRznOl8pU
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmliZYl1mW
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cPHE1X9Sw
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45nzdHw6gK
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3c3z60x72
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0hKRTngX9
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vf5kQy1Ye
Bulma chuckled.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB7ImAOSfo
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6quXE4QMa
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGBrWqwTUO
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn8QFtLW9p
Beet: “Momm!!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2Hj5yJzuI
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdemnnp02Aa
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIj5qg5gaS
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zt8DV611c
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6p5EBATBF
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGGu4ql53N
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPkWQJjq6D
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3n3ykwxeG
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgntAYjafn
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKxaw8EPa2
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sHNNgPLwa
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuPtlnkYvD
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaYSLJd7g0
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliBoyfPalA
Kakarot: “Enough!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyemS90LHIF
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewPj4efKJ1
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5NZTCHZHK
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoDN9iuATU
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCs6uDM5ri
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN8C1r6pR0
Beet: “Sir!!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgbaX5vEVj
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA4Lab4XPD
Bulma: “Beet!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq12BuU2dQ
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MtCF47Hqk
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOo6rvfLKy
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70pFLPyGa0
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2OgurJimn
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpRXhaxKs7
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYpCY0UgO4
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwkLuRfDfi
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPyOQxQIVV
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCikIiFFP0q
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqciML1P9SP
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jm1oi9lUK
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH8n0ZDwI8
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMIpNBEj9t
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOdROBLV1T
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QRaH5IZt2
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mFHe434US
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzG8dePqV2
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5i1FtZWN6
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5rxhglTH6
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZSewSHrsT
Raditz: “You have my word.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwvwKHPnWY
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarFUt3A3ws
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVyQMoiGpm
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbzqfEgAPd
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzy1jl0pGs
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZSbDvcqH5
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?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0I04dqN0v
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMlHm1JbsX
Raditz chuckled.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGNR61SZAj
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzrsxhumJI
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGH2QQ1GI4
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZETUXazkDF
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWj5tOhHHL
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJVjWkMYQ4
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZFekkC2Zc
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGX9IVB7Cb
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy5KOG5E1y
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmEkJAXl1a
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqnDcaVkCD
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVWIwEI2mS
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzTjaKgj10
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmEowQ8Qdm
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM1HzB2aGl
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN9ptua3ad
Raditz took a deep breath.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRtcCaGR7R
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCTNrVcmNr
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6olLHz0LBz
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlzW4gvzuD
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6nvC3dn1l
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTukvhFvhl
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?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl7wlw25dp
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw2AyrAzSg
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fkjzbmn7Z
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrYe0F2uP8
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTu9yIVj3B
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd07boqW9NQ
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hsn58PA08
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJus8zzNudq
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?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFw3zZsqfk
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS7CA5p7YU
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79Nv0DQElO
Kakarot: “The prince?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfyKU3cXer
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk0IhPBmEC
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoTklr3cjf
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?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6FGOP8aPD
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TkgZlYuOH
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFx4E4ey4f
Kakarot: “….”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsSyI7uQj0
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xySUGAvz0
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqui3A3UYsk
Bulma hesitated to reply.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihgFnuwE31
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG6HZqfma7
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqHyZWsAMk
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvZNN2W27J
Beet: “Sir!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeiOR72Tu8
He came face to face with his father.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCxZEVSTVU
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRqj43UJu7
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktxeer21rW
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zr00YIJ38
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6JjvQh1Gn
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtm1bzMCfT
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDV0ZcST6F
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWAOpLnH3Y
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKk9ElHHlT
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTxjBYfkqf
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM2M7pZvdl
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx68ocaLc7
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1u29kva9K
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD7ZZRBTP0
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.’
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjN7sRohwr
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO7IQsb0d5
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwBdxeUX0v
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ1WoSlDSB
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI2oLDpP9C
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyijvmhhCWV
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXP0PEUbPn
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItHHkgegNu
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpot5bnym8D
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAvfNwkyaH
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTOltTs1qm
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRMhpaYTvt
The prince hesitated.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wLBn9uszQ
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA9SxqjJ8e
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWIYCu4rbi
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBggEgQ4nu
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E4dr0lDWS
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaVWnflFPv
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Js7zKH8ex
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66D9xczgOf
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3GlA0cSzJ
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL9ESIoCxo
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgWNPBBfk6
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27Un4gFDu8
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL6haa9T5W
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8QTq1KhHa
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyuHkFDfzq
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lR0TJ5Ka8
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aItIU9XFB
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOjDeCtC4a
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLGj8C7XpN
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjy5SDZkVi
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD60pXvW6Y6
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPAPYVMm1d
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3GKeQbR0Z
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaXQaFeOBN
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?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWoiM3ZhpL
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkthl8x0ZS
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ5EWUoqSf
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqTlgVSgin
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoQwI6s8cD
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pTL9chkXD
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?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgtMzHZ60v
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcssbLw4gN
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRREibCTmby
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl4mZGFEDh
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4S1q0yP9b
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?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6ll5wWk67
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fPcsjzymP
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgy8a9m5vU
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqxxRd3KaY
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTR08Xu34l
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSemQwDlU9e
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9my0BMgGYm
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGfxCz4alI
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4qRSIfcXm
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ5dAmAHnm
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?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKendw3wGN
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyQifM4QJL
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OH95OFE8h
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEwyyuJ4RR
Kakarot: “What was that?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLsqomwkuE
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlgOrtsFZr
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?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMLncRopbE
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpyZ2nSoEh
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KGFkMWR48
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIgSI9a1cA
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nctPSpRU0
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHcvOElvMo
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LYn3R65Yr
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfn1GvpdS1
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOB6A8mmxt
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMiLL9RT4z
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLFxyjjakV
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjB4LyiMmP
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2mfPcGBXy
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKdY6C0ehN
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44s7dd5own
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZlVyG0GPR
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8gjXhD2hj
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaNruPWaol
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuXRaiCQCK
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilgzc2fy0Y
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8yyuoqosC
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWzIgPXz0G
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBm2La88Od
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaCME9btT0
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81YvB09qHK
“Your foot is on my tail!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsYna4z0XI
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8HhMXzxmd
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimntjHvxfz
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL5CZ5iZPo
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KfKeEKypX
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm17rmN7PV
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sEmPpORHa
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TzHgdBAtm
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1tpT91WWQ
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbcK5On51c
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?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8Qx0wyCGQ
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1B8lHBWL7
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyJsa8B4hm
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83hBuImaKM
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TbGmDAHfm
Kakarot smiled.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTVsBGXMbD
Kakarot: “Understood!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyoG6rB7bu
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQHVLbgJig
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpdvWw6X9e
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDAPnKWvsU
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyYGWdv8GF
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t47TnK48N
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8f3yHHONt
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLESmZOnrm
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuFLXUf3t2
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfFd41MWKx
Vegeta chuckled.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0QRtCCdUG
Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeeAApd1Gd
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtSBpwNOtA
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXIB615Ahf
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMXoaSz3RZ
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjinG1uC2t
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShjIR8fKV9
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA6sR02aXf
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJi8D31Qmc
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5TApSZTap
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.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQzgRJDBfN
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuGkxJ7Puv
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW10jyTCcW
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfEbP3FkvM
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx6CerGCjY
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA7QGq0vwc
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rneHDygEx
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxAlDkjukf
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrGolHFzP4
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU0zDDjCPl
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCiq4GvX9N
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6mxRNoy1G
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOIFAtT5g3
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZl2ZFZBZk
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsECoWkkBCB
He took a peek at his injuries.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyUoV8UqQV
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJMfbOpcGm
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n5QTGm2s8
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPLlKkf8KD
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrwmB1LeEh

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2GhhSg7jp
Kakarot: “Huh?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaG6WQeByH
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyF2lb96gH
Raditz: “Why you!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD5c2hsY5W
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObBJ6zu6XY
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESJJuCWztp
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.

Kakarot: “What… What h-happened?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNMKBztno3

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORPkYMyXRV
Raditz: ‘Right!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJcMjlub2r
Raditz carefully lifted his brother and took him aboard.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Yo5J6Pv3
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCGF2Z1APa
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLTThLy6Ai
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaGsafa3wK
“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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRp5BiztJO
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14lGfUeghw
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?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6PCF5GhrW
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl3AdF8n2H
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ANoaM04u7
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI62fImrJ2
Doctor: “I will sir.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnIqo4WMO6
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC8tYJws5b
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OrFWOA7ep
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaye7NiJuR
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LvOXTMzI1

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z6LMfdRGD
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDr0H9NvMo
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiQThC4EAr
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91BMX8O1OU
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasaGXdXTo0
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTZotAYSlF
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrojO2l4Gj
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?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2qpjrEQFQ
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgLL5bXlYX
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZeUHgrl7p
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIqk4BYdSj
Raditz: “Of course not! Saiyans are born for so much more than that, we only mate to breed more warriors. I couldn't care less what happens after that.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCrq570Bud
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDScmO6HqA

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XsRfh3Nnr

Bulma: “Wait, what? You brought them here? Are you crazy?”

The little boy made his way out, trying not to acknowledge the tension in the room.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEgDsQrzDu
Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnObxTqnxW
Bulma: “I'm not convinced, we've achieved peace and yet you insist on bringing the fight back to us. When does the violence end?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreZ6oiJ3Ch
Kakarot: “When we win.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLbylFjowp
Bulma: “And what considers us the winners? What happens when survivors of their conquests come looking for revenge?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfJt2tU984
Kakarot: “I’ll stop them.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNY5uq0IYW
Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDTCoDQVQG
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJadcBDjCyC
Bulma: “It is when that desire puts us all at risk!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjf0RbuhAM
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVa55lB2u4
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzVnvuYDzw
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9U7yX8DaB

Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAnNqHZzrT
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzxuwwaPog
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JszUUz8MV
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5kdPL9V5G
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RA6mqE1xy
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliPTVlrhbg
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNmpOUn27M
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsew9dpqyIG
Kakarot: ‘My apologies, I had some other business to attend to. As you all requested, I've brought my boy. Beet, these are the last remaining saiyans. They're like you and I, you'll learn a lot from them as I have.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeP1OTWM7Z
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44Tsvi8OQL
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4Dxtrljqh

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhuxFXaroG
Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS80qfHhi1
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJk9E4kOTY
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1A8wLvsun

Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzzTgljvq1
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLUz02hDB9
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlnFpseqHy
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIleJdOR2hJ
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoFPQ4Zd4p
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51FcBb0kjB
Raditz: “I will..”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM728U0RUic
Raditz turned to his comrades.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK380ChwdN
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jnvDeVO8m
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWsVULpKKk
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq18o1nH9yZ
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWU6Sq8GTG
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyLmuBjucx
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25iUKbXxPo
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrx6cd6E6F
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nqZcz1H2T
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH00FC6uxt
Beet: “Okay!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VSMsSIUo0
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlxivfzRnt
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHYY7rauqj
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbnDTXQKbq
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKyXaoIMPi
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ME4MpWFHb
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2eLa7d0Hk
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqTUQD7auf
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuloUya3PoT
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pv34cKRCy
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAXo4FWTvn
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpCul3TXOZ
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J7usG6Wf4
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeueQbWN8Gr
Beet: “O-Okay.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vL799iH8c
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCtyPT3Ynz
Kakarot: “What happened?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWh4esI7R6
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiNxKCAZgd
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWHfwr3Wu1
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cPvXaqlSX
Kakarot: “Fine.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWib3Va93mT
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4wBQs0iK2
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjEGBgLX7D
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLGHCFw188
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKazZPvHBe3
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQADuaJIRk2
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFetUXdS6k
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZOK5my9nM
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPHrLp5N7Q
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuBEu7gsV4
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RfXmLHtDe
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vmlr0dQGa
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEiHNqCdoN
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTYFCn2hSm
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eiM5QHAqu
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqcKeaoubE
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv0ZePRcyp
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxg2525vJi
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDaCh2hiOp
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesHwoxmT2Q
Raditz: “Understood.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpaI5Kj8AN
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNW1HKXikS
Raditz departed from the room.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4qzzOGYyx
“Haaaa”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORocc0qYuQ
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxABNm0jMf
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHikpXI2xs
Kakarot: “Right.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhb4WKAK66
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGRhix5q2N
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r39FAAkrz
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6OTS7kWF5
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsUL4oGwZp
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPd7WEza9j
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PEE7hLui9
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItDLP7b1w2
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy8fhXQ4qH
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8poMEDRSvW
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaZLpx6eym
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrWwkaH3nz
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqJyLMW0Rc
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzcp4GtRWZ
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ0oRJspQC
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpB1sdBDYi
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuCRCLrVdD
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnykT75C1W
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDxqRMrgOm
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGnbT3K8rt
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAmX3wJrQV
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrvcBLkeci
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8VZ43TAAU
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVPLWkziwT
Kakarot turned around.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGHA9mIhCT
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdMQQAp9iz
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmccgOOKjz
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?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiQZwGX4Y6
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW615Ktm5Zz
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaXHXlAoQl
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbFtOSDRcf
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMtApIodYP
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIjXVV1P4o
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc7xey4wTM
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVr2Kvpsgf
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumJQaqpxBP
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhfG6qcKp3
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KS9FPt6eZ
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhCPny3BSF
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqifnj7K2DL
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FYCeWMPcV
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ407Z46XcL9
Kakarot: “Right!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUuddaHTHL
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mHUKmnV9q
Kakarot: “Yes?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgk04dwYJn
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7XGH2XYPD
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqX37dvEsG
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstGLXuveFw
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5QKTZ8ftS
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ84JX8dhl
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwRVxPw9yb
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTVcVLJoFU
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw8VNd8X8o
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7FKqQleeg
Raditz turned to his brother.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QXnUxnGZO
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgCpeabVdv
Raditz: “Right..”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlVA0ZVqKB
Raditz took off with his pod.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgOqgekP5J
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3jYqhedv3
“Let me take a look.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YR3e8IUsP
Beep! Beep! Beep!
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqkulTzNgq
“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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO79ddJMTl
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ButOSxjxI
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuIpt14kk8
He bowed in respect.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9pGeh4UwP
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76zlNUpZIz
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtwfjLN6qW
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk2VPdVjPX
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1c1iekGFV
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0cLq72ENl
Raditz: “As you wish.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G5ZPbePpM
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5D6e5gNb6
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XoldJZA1T
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwB0seIgWq
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvkVuBA50w
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSk7QIN31I
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IBG56FUxn
Zarbon took his leave.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiubjHd77cQ
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZL681oo9E
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIn5er5w7t
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv1DxRX4if
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sR8NEHiQ5
Raditz chuckled.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GKibEVCF6
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPp0uchV3f
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWi0phANeM
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpWt5wVIB2
Beep! Beep! Beep!
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLcq3zWduD
Raditz: “He's here…”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vliV1e4eS
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkBjFzezhs
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGLch5zQpD
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe0yyNYkES
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLEyawXxt8
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwqExX6naF
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT3M5VXs59
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWvTxUQ4Ur
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG4NZ3YG3N
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0F3yTJ5DP
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8s1FtE1XM
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwn2lWXsem
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHENCv5GhiI
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaI0GcSdWs
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMMgB46Xyu
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfguuUHTO1X
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA22sjBmgM
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8bpKm7wmu
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEsUPQ8gPG
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fCe1Fyqud
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOi1Nrt6t5
Raditz: “Damn it!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEmNWjGJHZ
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu74fCx4VVD
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLPCPSXm3P
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjENcNl9XK5
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVCnNpBiyy
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug4mlPsMcs
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4hNrDyng7
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkCcN06cGK
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNynAaPiQV
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2axezh844V
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstdttsk3UH
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYZOe9RIDC
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRhX3qbVUE

Dodoria: “What is it?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6fnbkSiIt
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjgfn7JWL3
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9pOQbmmuP
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJlVARycbW
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpD1Uq5bx9
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjijJBCeTG
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNVf68ioll
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TzIEjAqhK
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFDdGOb2G4
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPZGkuOZQH

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyFGVviaEY
Dodoria: “Why you!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5O397dyiW
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L3LbkMPSc
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I2ZWImaQb
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEELTXt4JA
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlKFAbI8hO
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGymZPUoCS

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Jca8B7gw

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6HwF9C46B

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcdg4Z9H4t
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c3zum1PbD
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA29jI3e8Rd
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzkWo43BOR
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2wLCL8DHa
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIyNqpLFFQ
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63iUyvaYNe
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDHgJOTeVg
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyYdiuvxNl
Vegeta: “Huh?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMiLPfaigk

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPizRr8vCNv
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigmjFuQd39
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwMXtIcRA2
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkVT0TDJZp
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ267hiHTy6Z
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBs4nzTOAs
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d6U4xiDs8
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjNEJhCE7Z
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXLK32EAGL

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSkT83zL7e
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPbEzvUvzb
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeTcfKuSIL
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwjrU8jV9g
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzxw0GjHVY
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dGvemEPmz
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1PMUnD9U7

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2hSmo96Lc
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63qTKMpdAM
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAaju4Jxsa
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZlcEFO1Kl

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCihkz3dO6
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAR7zhn1A6
Frieza: “Y-You-”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE5JEGWufy

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQGhhQZdxr
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXuABt9Xua
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW4txhotGt
Kakarot: “Not again!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh1naWEpdw
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl9sAsHsJn
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1WEhakyS1

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oRGciZRXF
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2oAM1msrV
Kakarot: “Look out!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jjNHJfDfl
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTej3oGa2Y

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi7Gc78iCh
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDLpwhY8ai

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDxWYW9OJg
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3tEazbti7
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWD828aACd
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17mxy4OOM0
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXgWYfI9GK
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjwf8zWkAl
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBgfz2GBl6
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE6Zetowtu

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjtaWlqWDd
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJQ53Sd3XE
Frieza: “You again!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQlaBTblJs
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun8FfO3X8Y
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgRA2CfxNs
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWpD7i9GJB
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI8RWFWDll
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuaVZEMemt
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5gMynJORp
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1Y5XdSuGD
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtzho9HG6W
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISeoSxan3c
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOVGAr6m7P
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr6UddMUTs
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgQRfX3cs2
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgIhy7NUEg
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGCzWAIvva
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAHc9U6JGO
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHExb3yZoN
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5AatqmCdE
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRujDO5GrHL
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFwWo4WibC
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6540aorxXb
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV4ZZFjT3R
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AWRQBpXb9
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyadhHKxn7
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXVhgblZxS
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7tt9ewTp5

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3IybsOykE
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSE4ytsqTp
“Haaaaaa!!!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH5fLPeM9d
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.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49FLAfk7Kd
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwMoH80GAg
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bcLEAdVuI

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bgDyS4a01

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24UnsVdl1Q
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyAxCwTRY4
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE1wJ0wpZU

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEuqUbe6aa
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7h04pr7eZ
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35F0sduwVj
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.

Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU09Ti7qf4D
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1FTC8Qljt
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagTuMEHBw3
Kakarot: “It's done…”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND3Hg6ghaL
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFZX03mRSu
Vegeta ascended into the air.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DKvP5RTvA
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguf8TE9XwG
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mi9UyIe9M
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUQdU6by4W
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPyHJGLcX6
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPYNfrMNrJ
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Z5vwJqlZ
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdYDyr9xcN
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ha1UwgUFw
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXIAqb7iuV
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hQFLxdz1y
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3NDKCqQZF
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Uv5BqdiJ
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjjF46e50Q
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalFKV07Ir4
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2eesprR2g
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WTVPJnzkM
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCSP58Xqke
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyRiHfiuBv
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDkkNmcHo6
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9AxyC9b5W
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMMZTfRJe4
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKHzcNqtFw
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLlPZuyuZE
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbybyEvIez
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ojIdXEshW
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS0LvmYA51
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe9RxL71p7
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz05SwelDn
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAzvNm5LC4
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcRPnnC9e5
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViFIErDPQw
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U0wpF0Qpi
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKneaklm7K
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQv0Tb1krO
He looked at his fist in shame.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVtqLJi1gH
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMylLOfY4r
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT22rP3Um0M
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVeqBeyZ3W
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZcpqLoTN6
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHycJGJTzvI
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyrrYxVAcA
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVfCmOpS7i
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblL6pwjevx
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoSAC9OkPz
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZeiAwE4Hx
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yYwGfLQcZ
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yiFPRxhJ6
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCY9KXccGU
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWyF1I7wIR
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..”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1F49XDFP8
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaS0uRzNHR
Kakarot: “No…”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMDOUlugjW
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dkZMkexL4
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ18VmZQ2Q
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6MselpZ6X
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtviTh8DsL3
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv1k2FRbMB
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdxloQGbI7
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAxrNHVPgR
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPFwuIDsH6
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWN1U5JnUI
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkIHSqUZw1
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFM086w9Hj
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2imWfIzi2L
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU3NHiAYcc
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8OfKrDSVg
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjjrI6fJvR
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1e6t7chfA
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAjRGxvOEv
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4Qs6cw3Ni
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UDur4IppE
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJduGwlXRNp
Raditz bowed down in respect.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGZle21q5E
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNlj6UdCUx
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWyq0Tcj96
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxjN1v4tGk
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTnR8oMBFK
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6kl9x8KIt
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIY9lXZJQV
Raditz: “Right!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFrfz1Dxpa
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVKG2dfUvU
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcroPCiFHf
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOTnHmW1zn
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkAsVudThk
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uC0zyDomp
Tears ran down his face.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgSs4FuayQ
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?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBetsqVT743
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWeWj0IgE4
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQicrI8QBW
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU6OarcjMq
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEDiiMWq3A
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTPITzHDZh
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5KM4zai48
Raditz smirked.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxBXOHv1ny
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1HBnU5F9D
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml7455ZU0a
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW20RqRwrM
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJiCRChCvw
He pounded the ground.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHFRzDJ3dl
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkNmwVsv8G
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPv7Ob2ss6
Kakarot: “To fight!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOSwMDp0ND
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvN6WnNLBm
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx15pF5r9uj
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqB3Z8cjtw
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAE8GYaUog
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyK6HjT1vS
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk09197zjhD
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF03qwUe3C
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuZglCIrCQ
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT475efiBi
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.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrMZruDjPG
Vegeta: “Wait!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT56tlL1XB8
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSm8NYibZ6
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9IDsubdnV
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3u0MViPvp
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGj1alFiY7
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNJiHpu6JD
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!”
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ0KR8dHcc
Shenron: “As you wish."
